Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Today, like never before; Shine Your Light upon our lives.

We Pray Lord God Almighty that among “Bright Lights”; our Lights will still be Brighter still.

If there is anything left to make the Joy of these Your People full; Father give to them today.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: Brother/Sister, I love you but my Light will shine Brighter than yours.

And then, you may Please be seated – Glory be to God!

My wife and I will love to say Thank You to all of you – Thank You for making us feel at home, Thank You for your Love, Thank You for your Gifts and Thank You for your Prayers.

John 14:12-14:

12. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and Greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do, that the Father may be Glorified in the Son.
14. If ye shall ask any thing in my Name, I will do it.

Tell your Neighbour: God is going to answer my Prayers today you know!

Jesus Christ loves Converts – He calls them Fruits!

Once you become Born Again, He regards you as the Fruits of His Labour.

So He said in John 15:16 – That you have not Chosen me, I have Chosen you; that you should go forth and bring forth Fruits and that your Fruits should remain.

What Jesus Christ is saying is that: Win Souls, get Converts!

So, I can imagine the Joy in Heaven on Friday Night (RCCG Light Up Ireland) when the Angels saw the Multitudes flowing forward like a River – That was a Great Sight!

However, He is More interested in Disciples – He wants you to be a Disciple!

The difference between a Convert and a Disciple is that one sits on the chair while the other Prepares the chairs even before you come in to sit on them!

Other words that we use for Disciples – We call them Workers!

• They Prepare the Ground.
• They clean the Church.
• They clean the Toilet.
• Then spend hours Preparing, only to come and offer a Special Number that will last for 5 Minutes.

Disciples, they get involved – They don’t sit on the Fence!

God wants you to be a Disciples!

The Interesting thing is – If you become a Disciple; through you, the Kingdom of God Expands!

That is why becoming a Disciple opens you up to tremendous Possibilities.

Like they said in John 14:12 – If you are a Disciple, He said that the works that He did, you shall do also. And you will even do Greater Works.

I’m believing God for Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – That the world will hear about you (Amen).

And how will they hear about you – Because they will hear about the Great Things that God is doing through you.

1. When He Himself was here on Earth, after all the years of Labour; the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 15: 4-6 that He left behind about 500 Brethrens.

That is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself has just about 500 Converts.

Whereas, a Single Disciple, Peter by name Preached a Single Sermon on the Day of Pentecost. And according to Acts 2:41, he won 3,000 Souls.

… 3,000 Converts in one Sermon.

But the Lord Jesus Christ Himself for 3½ years of Preaching, had only 500 Converts.

The same Disciple (Peter) Preached another Sermon and win 5,000 Souls – Acts 4:4

So one Sunday like this, the Church was 3,500 in Attendance and the following Sunday, the Attendance had increased to 8,500.

If that is all that we can get – If each of you here can go and within the next one Month, each one had won 8,000 Souls; Ireland will know that Revival has come!

But that Disciple (Peter) didn’t stop there – The next time that he Preached a Sermon, the Bible said that it was in Multitudes now.

… Too difficult to count- Acts 5: 1-end.

2. When the Lord Jesus Christ was here, the hem of His Garments healed – Mark 5: 25-34.

But He was in that Garment – Physically Present in the Garments.

But another Disciple came in Acts 19: 11-12, his name is Paul.

From his body, they took Handkerchiefs and Aprons and sent them on errand to go and heal and to set Captives free.

As a matter of fact, Demons will see his Handkerchiefs coming and they will run.

I don’t want to leave Ireland without the Assurance that the People I’m leaving behind are already on the way to becoming Greater than I.

That is the Purpose of our Meeting today!

On the RCCG Light Up Ireland (Friday) Night, the Lord had blessed us tremendously.

If I returned to Nigeria the next Day after that Program (Saturday); I will say that I have done Great job by the Grace of God.

But there should be something Extra – Somebody here listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC; should become a Light that should be so Bright that the world will hear about it (Amen).

And that Fellow is listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC – Your Heart is Pumping, something is telling you: Ha, I didn’t know that this is not going to be an Ordinary Service!

I see! So, that is why I am here now or reading now on the Label of DMC.

God wants to impact to you something beyond the Ordinary so that the world will hear about you!

The Fire of Revival has started but it has to burn Brighter!

And it will, if all of us will decide today – I will no longer be an Ordinary Convert and I will be a Disciple.

3. When it comes to the Disciples doing more than the Lord Jesus Christ. He was in the Garments when the hem healed. But from the body of a Disciple, they are sending out Handkerchiefs and they were healing.

But there was still Somebody – His Shadow alone was healing the Sick (Acts 5: 14-16).

The Shadow of Peter was healing the Sick.

God wants to anoint you so heavily that your Shadow alone will begin to heal the Sick – Amen.

4. When you Study the Scriptures very carefully, you will find out that the Greatest Number of Demons that Jesus Christ casted out when He was here has to do with the Mad Man of Gadara – Out of whom, He sent out a Legion.

But a Single Disciple by the name Philip; went into a Town and chased out all the Demons in the Town – No wonder, we can never forget his name.

There were seven (7) of them who were Ordained the same Day as Deacons.

Many of us can only remembered the names of two (2) of them – Stephen and Philip.

Like I was sharing with the Ministers some Days ago – When my Grand daughter asked me who was Nicanor? I said I don’t know Nicanor.

She said Grandpa, you said you know the Bible – Who is Timon? I said you mean Simon? She said: No, I said Timon.

And these were the same People Ordained the same Day as Philip and Stephen.

DMC NOTES: The Seven Ordained Deacons in the Early Church were: Stephen the Protomartyr, Philip the Evangelist, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicholas.

I want to decree that within the next one year, when they mentioned your name in Ireland (DMC NOTES: By Extension in your own Country); they will say we know that Brother/Sister.

If you read the same Acts 19: 13-17 – When some People said that let us Practice what we see Paul do and they told the Demons to come out.

The Devil said – Jesus I know; Paul also I know.

I am believing God with you – That very soon, even the head of all Demons in Ireland (Your own Country) will say: Jesus I know and I know you!

And you know that it doesn’t take long for God to Performed that Miracle – All He is asking for is that you will become a Disciple!

You see in John 8:12 – Jesus Christ said: I am the Light of the world.

But He didn’t stop there – In Matthew 5: 14-16; He said that: You are the Light of the world.

… My Disciples are to be like me!

He now saud: Let your Light Shine.

When your Light is Shinning, the Name of your Father in Heaven will be Glorified!

I want to appeal to you today or as you read now on the Label of DMC – Don’t be an Ordinary Christian and don’t be an Ordinary Disciple!

When Disciples gather together, there is an opportunity for you to Outshine them all.

In 1 Corinthians 12:31 – The Bible says that you are allowed to covet earnestly the Best Gifts.

… Covet earnestly – Not one Gift, not an Ordinary Gift but the Best Gifts,

The first time that I read that Passage after I became Born Again, I said: Is that so!

There is at least one Place in the Bible where Covetousness is allowed? And I am allowed to covet the Best of them all?

Some of you have heard me say this before – I said to the Almighty God that I want the Double of the Spirits that was on Elisha, Peter, Paul, and on the Lord Jesus Christ while He was here on Earth. I want all of them added together and then Doubled again.

Even though the Lord told me then – Son, you are asking for trouble but I said I don’t mind.

Ha, He said that they won’t let you rest! I said I don’t mind.

But one thing is this – If you are that Hungry for God, He will fill you to Overflowing!

I will tell you one Story and it will be time to Pray!

I wanted The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to grow when I became the General Overseer – I don’t want to be an Ordinary Pastor.

And everywhere I can hear that the Church is Growing, I will go there to find out what is their Secret(s).

And then, I heard that there is a Church in South Korea – They said that the Pastor there had the Biggest Church in the whole world and I went there.

I had to Fast and Pray to get the Ticket Money because I don’t have the Money. But Somebody bought the Ticket.

You see – When God knows that you are Desperate, He will make a Way for you!

We got there, I saw a Church – The building is huge and I could see fifty thousand (50,000) People. And the Pastor was still having seven (7) Services on Sunday.

Back home, my own Church is not up to three thousand (3,000).

And I heard the Pastor said in the Service I attended – Please, those of you who has come to Church this Sunday, don’t come next Sunday so that those who could not come in today will be able to come in next Sunday.

Will you like to reach that kind of Level? – That after holding seven (7) Services on a Sunday; you are still begging People not to come next Sunday.

… Come once in two (2) weeks!

And then he has a Place called “The Prayer Mountain” – So, everybody went there.

On the Mountain, he dug some holes so that you can only crawl inside as there is no space to stand there.

And if you want, you can sit down or kneel down. And then you put your shoes by the entrance so that People will know you are in there.

And we all went there from all over the world.

And some People Prayed for 5 Minutes. But I knew why I came. By the time I looked at my time, I had been there for 2 Hours.

When I came out, it was only my bus remaining as all the other buses had gone. And the only reason they waited for me was because they knew there was a Black Man in the bus who is not there yet.

When I got back there, they were very angry with me that I kept them waiting.

I am sorry! I thought that we came here to Pray.

They said: Are you going to Pray everything in one day?

Nobody spoke to me on the way back and I was glad because my Spirit was still roaring.

And in those Days, there was no way to reach Yonggi Cho.

DMC NOTES: David Yonggi Cho, is the Co-founder of the Largest Pentecostal Christian Church Congregation in South Korea called “The Yoido Full Gospel Church”. He co-founded the Church with his Mother-In-Law; Choi Ja-shil. He Passed on to Glory at the Age of 85 (14th February 1936 to 14th September 2021)

But some years ago, I was back in South Korea to Dedicate our Church and Ordained our Pastors.

And then I sought for an Appointment to see Papa Yonggi Cho.

When I got to his Presence, he said that I have heard about you – Will you Please Pray for me?

I’m decreeing into the Life of Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – One Day, wherever you go, when they mentioned your name, they will say we have heard of you (Amen).

You are going to Pray today – I don’t know for how long you want to Pray.

This will be a Day when you will cry to God – I don’t want to be an Ordinary Christian, I don’t want to be even an Ordinary Disciple. Among Lights, I want to be the Brightest.

… There is Nothing wrong with being Covetous of the Best Gifts.

ALTAR CALL

But while others are Praying; if there is anybody here who has not even given his Life to Jesus Christ? – Maybe during the RCCG Light Up Ireland on Friday and you want to surrender your Life to Jesus Christ now so that He can turn you to Light.

Then you come forward – Come and I will Pray for your Salvation.

I will count from one (1) to four (4) – Make sure you come forward before I say four (4).

Thank You Almighty God!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You once again for Your Words.

I want to Thank You especially for these People who has come forward saying that they want to know You more; they want to be Part and Parcel of Your Family.

Father, Please receive them, have Mercy on them, let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the Book of Life.

As You are saving their Souls today, very Speedily; turn them to Disciples and let them serve You till the very End.

Thank You my Father and my God!

And now my Lord and my Saviour; I’m committing all Your Children who are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC into Your Hands:

As many as are Hungry for You, satisfy us.

As many of us that will say: Lord, I don’t want to be just an Ordinary Disciple; I want to be an Extraordinary one – Not just Winning Souls but Winning Towns.

Lord God Almighty, grant their Requests in Jesus Name.

The Power they need to Perform Great Miracles, Signs and Wonders for You.

The Power they need to do Exploits for You.

The Power they need so that the world will soon hear about them

Please Lord, release unto them.

My Lord and my Saviour, even before the End of this Year (2023); let this Nation (Ireland) know about these People.

And I Pray:

Whatsoever may remains in their lives that is not allowing their Joy to be Full.

Whatever may not allow them to work Freely for You;

Destroy today in Jesus Name.

Please my Father and my God, in Your Own Miraculous Way; touch each and everyone of us today and fill us to Overflowing.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Now, just for 2 Minutes – With your own mouth; ask God what are the kinds of Gifts that you want from God.

• The Ability to heal the Sick.
• The Ability to cast out Demons.
• The Ability to raise the Dead.

The Lord is listening to you – He said that whatever you ask inn my Name, I will do it.

Go ahead and talk to Him now!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
