OPENING PRAYER

Father Almighty, we confess this Morning that indeed You are Great.

Greater than the greatest, Higher than the highest, Mightier than the mightiest, Wiser than the wisest, Older than the oldest.

Who can be compared with you? Who can be likened to You?

Blessed be Your Name forever in the Precious Name of Jesus.

We say Good Morning Most High God.

Thank You for the Past one (1) week of seeing Your Wonders; encountering Your Presence and Wonders – We are Grateful.

Receive our Thanks in the Name of Jesus.

Lord, we’ve appeared before You in Zion this Morning; with our eyes lifted unto You.

That You would yet do something New in each of our lives such that this would be one Divine Encounter that we would not forget in a hurry.

Please, do so in the Name of Jesus.

Spirit of the Lord, take over from the hands of man and Glorify Jesus Mightily this Morning.

And wherever we are watching from or reading now on the Label of DMC, fill the Place with Your Presence, with Your Power, and with Your Glory.

Thank You Precious Father!

For we have Prayed with Thanksgiving, in Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen

And everyone says a loud Amen – AMEN.

… Put your two (2) hands together for Jesus.

I like you to speak to the Person to you left and the Person to your right and tell him or her: Expect a Definite Encounter with God this Morning.

And it shall be so, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Put your hands together for Jesus, once more.

I will like to appreciate our father-in-the-Lord and our Mother-in- Israel for this Great opportunity to be Ministering at today’s Divine Encounter – RCCG March 2024 Divine Encounter Service.

Proverbs 4:18

But the Path of the Just is as the Shinning Light, that shineth more and more unto the Perfect Day (King James Version)

“HIGHER STILL” is the Topic of our discussion this Morning, before we Pray.

We have Practically had Divine Encounters daily, in the past one (1) week and to God be all the Glory!

Starting from the Solemn Assembly, to the Thirty-eighth (38th) Edition of the Special Holy Ghost Service – And we have been tremendously blessed.

So, why should we be here this Morning, after all that we have just received?

Our Bible Text for today (Proverbs 4:18) answers that Question – And we will read it this time in the Amplified Version:

“But the Path of the Just (Righteous) is like the Light of dawn, that Shines Brighter and Brighter until (it reaches its full Strength and Glory) in the Perfect Day” – Proverbs 4:18 (Amplified Version).

Meaning, the Life of a Christian is likened to the Progression that the Sun follows when it rises daily.

• It starts small; and by this time, you are able to watch it, able to look at it.
• Then it breaks more bigger, brighter, and brighter still until the Sun reaches its full Strength. And you can not look at it directly any longer.

And by this time; Permit me to say that – It is no longer your mate!

So we are here this Morning because, as People riding on the Wings of the Eagle; things are now going to be better and better and better still; until we have all reached our utmost in Life; until we have all reached our utmost for God – Amen.

And if I am speaking to somebody, shout a Powerful Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

We have gone some steps higher these Past days, no doubts. But we want to go “Higher Still” – That is the Nature of our Spiritual DNA: “Higher Still”.

And I want somebody here this Morning or you, reading now on the Label of DMC, who is in tune with what is happening here this Morning, to shout: “Higher Still”!

It is to be observed that the Eagle is never tired of Climbing higher still; and very importantly is the fact that, this is not done in its own Strength and Ability: but by riding on the Wings of the Wind.

As People who would want to ride “Higher Still”, we have been sent with just one (1) Message for you this Morning – One (1) that is needful, in addition to all that we have received in the Past few days.

And what is that one (1) thing? Going Forward – That is, starting from this Divine Encounter; fill your Day with Praying in the Holy Ghost.

We are told in Jude 1:20, But ye, Beloved, building up yourselves on your most Holy Faith, Praying in the Holy Ghost (KJV)

And if I read that to you in the Amplified Version, it says, “But you, Beloved, build yourselves up on [the Foundation of] your most Holy Faith [continually Progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], Pray in the Holy Spirit.” Hallelujah!

And the Topic of our discussion at this Divine Encounter is, “Higher Still” – Make it a Practice, make it a Rule that, starting from now, anytime my mouth is not engaged in useful discussions (mark the word ‘useful’); anytime from now that I am not eating (My mouth is not chewing) and I am not Sleeping; what my mouth will engage in is, Praying in the Holy Spirit.

• You are riding in your car or you are being driven: Praying in the Holy Spirit.
• You are in a Board Meeting and it is not your turn to speak yet; under your breath, Praying in the Holy Spirit.
• Behind your desk in the office, while you are work.

Because you see, when you are Praying in the Holy Spirit your Mind is not engaged.

So, you can be working at your desk and still be Praying in the Holy Spirit.

If you will be willing and you will obey, you will soon realise the following Six (6) things happening in your Life:

1. Operating in Unusual Strength in Place of Weakness.

Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy Strength is small.

… So Strength can be small. Yet Strength can be adequate.

If I read that same Scripture to you in the New Living Translation, it reads: If you fail under Pressure, your Strength is too small.

But the Question is this: Who among us will not be under Pressure of one type or the other? And sometimes the Pressure can be huge!

However, at such a time, and as someone who stays filled – Praying in the Holy Ghost; your Strength will be adequate to withstand any Pressure, no matter how intense.

2. You will be Operating in Uncommon Boldness and Courage in Place of Fear and Anxiety.

It is written in Proverbs 28:1 The Wicked flee when no man Pursueth: but the Righteous are bold as a Lion.

And that boldness doesn’t just jump on your because you are Born Again: there are certain Ingredients that would have to be Present.

And the very crucial one is the one that the Spirit of God is speaking to us about at this Divine Encounter.

In 2 Timothy 1:7 the Bible says, For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound Mind.

At such a time like this when there is anxiety everywhere; both in Nigeria and many parts of the world; I Prophesy to someone, after this Divine Encounter, no fear, no anxiety will be known by you anymore, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

3. Operating under the Inspiration of the Almighty.

You will be made to understand which way to go; Particularly when you have a very difficult and important Decision to make.

… We are talking about what you’ll begin to expect, and what would happen to you, as you fill your Day with Praying in the Holy Spirit.

You would come under the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

And amazingly, you will be made to understand which way you go, Particularly when you have very difficult and important issues to decide on.

Job 32:8 says, But there is a Spirit in Man: and the Inspiration of the Almighty giveth them Understanding.

Understanding of which way to go and the Decisions to make at a given Point in time.

Another word for the ‘Inspiration of the Almighty’ is the Breath of the Almighty.

And that is what you keep receiving as you keep on Praying in the Holy Ghost – The Breath of the Almighty comes on you; so that you will begin to receive Inspirations about the issues of Life, even when you are not thinking about them.

Isaiah 30:21 read, And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

I speak Prophetically to someone this morning, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC – Confusion ends in your Life from this Divine Encounter, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

4. Divine Secrets and Ideas will be let out even when least expected.

And just one of these Divine Ideas may set you on a course of Breakthroughs, of Abundance, for the rest of your Life.

Isaiah 45:3 tells us, And I will give thee the Treasures of Darkness, and Hidden Riches of Secret Places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

You see, what you are hearing this Morning is what will make you become someone that Nobody can compete with – It is what God has given us in the Body of Christ that we least make used of.

For Example, just one (1) of such Divine Ideas shot Joseph into Prominence in Egypt, and Changed his Story Permanently till he died.

A Prisoner this Morning, and Sleeping as a Prime Minister the same Day in a Strange Land, in a Land of Captivity.

And what did he do?

He interpreted the Dreams of a King in the Land – King Pharaoh.

And he didn’t just stop at interpreting the two (2) Dreams; Genesis 41:16-44

… And if he had stopped at interpreting the Dreams, he would have done the job they invited him to come and do.

But just like that, A Divine Idea dropped into his Heart; and he began to read out Solutions to the Problems arising from the Interpretation of the two (2) Dreams of King Pharaoh.

Such that by the time he finished, a “Heathen King”; Pharaoh said unto his Servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a Man in whom the Spirit of God is? – Genesis 41:38

Just one (1) Divine Idea shot Joseph into Prominence and Charged his Story till he died, Permanently.

Following this Divine Encounter of today, if you are Willing and you obey what the Lord is saying to us; I Prophesy that very soon, that Divine Idea that would set you on a course of Breakthroughs, Blessings, and Abundance Permanently, will be released to you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

5. You are able to Tame the Flesh Consistently, thereby becoming more and more like Jesus.

As you fill your Day Praying in the Holy Ghost, you are able to tame the flesh consistently – Thereby becoming more and more like the Saviour.

So I read Romans 8:13 to you again: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do Mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

And 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a Glass the Glory of the Lord, are Changed into the same Image from Glory to Glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Don’t forget that we said you will begin to receive the Breath of God coming upon you; being able to Mortify the body, and being Changed into the Image of the Lord from Glory to Glory.

And in addition, you can be sure of this: As these things are going on, you will be set ablaze and become a flame of Fire – Hallelujah!

6. You are able to move in Divine Speed because you are being Carried.

The same way that Elijah, because he was being carried; he moved in Divine Speed, caught up and overtook the Chariot of King Ahab.

Hear it yourself in 1 Kings 18:46 (and I read it in the Amplified Version): Then the Hand of the Lord came upon Elijah giving him Supernatural Strength. He girded up his loins, and outran Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel nearly twenty (20) Miles.

Because this Prophet of God was being carried, he could run twenty (20) Miles; and could outrun the Chariot of King Ahab.

And I Prophesy to someone this morning, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; after today’s Divine Encounter, your Life will be introduced to Divine Speed – Amen.

And you will begin to Catch Up, you will begin to Overtake, until you have reached your Utmost – Amen.

If I have spoken to you, let your Amen be louder than that of your Neighbour – Amen.

To start with Brethren, let’s give ourselves the next Two (2) Weeks – Practicing what we have been told this Morning.

With intentionality, fill your Day with Praying in the Holy Spirit – Let it be with intentionality, because it is not something you are used to.

And anytime you feel like your mouth is just doing Nothing, pinch yourself, “what are you supposed to be doing?” And just go ahead and begin to Pray in the Spirit.

If you are in an Environment where you cannot Pray aloud, Pray under your breath in the Spirit.

So, be intentional in the next two (2) weeks – Fill your Day Praying in the Holy Spirit, as directed.

And we know in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, the Bible says “Pray without ceasing.”

And by God’s Grace, this takes us into such realm, such that by the time you have aggregated how many hours you have spent Praying in the Holy Spirit; you are talking about seven (7) hours.

At the end of the Two (2) Weeks, check how things have been. And no one will need to convince you not to stop but to continue with Great Intensity.

And I am believing God once again, that this is a Divine Encounter that will mark a Turning Point in your Life – Amen.

If you believe that, once again let your Hallelujah be louder than that of your Neighbour – Hallelujah.

Shall we rise on our feet as we begin to get ready to do all the things the Lord would have us to do this Morning.

But I want to speak to some People this Morning by telling them: If you want to Ride Higher in Life, you better let Jesus carry you by ensuring that you give Him full Control of your Life – Not half (½) of it, not a quarter (¼) of it, bull Control of your Life!

We are told in Jeremiah 10:23, O LORD, I know that the way of Man is not in himself: it is not in Man that walketh to direct his steps.

ALTAR CALL

And so I make this Call to you today, so that you cease to direct your own steps.

And you can then be taken Higher and Higher, with Jesus Himself leading and carrying you.

I make this Call to you today – Come to Jesus, give Him your Heart and not your Head.

The Bible says, Rend your ‘Heart’, not your Garment – So give Him your Heart today, not your Head.

And you have Great Chances of making it to the Top before you leave this world – Amen.

As eyes are closed this Morning in the attitude of Prayer; the Lord has just spoken to your Heart, and you believe you have to take a Decision to give your Heart to Him.

Wherever you are right now or reading now on the Label of DMC, Please do so now; so that we can Pray with you today. Concerning you, this is the Day the Lord has made.

It could be that all you have been doing is just Religious; and now you want to be serious, you want to give your Heart to Jesus; wherever you are, do so now!

Go ahead and talk to the Lord – Tell Him Lord Jesus, I give my Heart to You today. I repent of my sins, forgive me, Cleanse me in Your Blood, and save my Soul today.

Don’t miss this opportunity to give Jesus your Heart – Not your Head.

… And the Lord bless you as you are clapping for them

Thank You Jesus – Amen!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Lord, I Thank You for everyone that has come to Genuinely Surrender their lives to You today.

Your Word says those who come to You, You will in no wise cast away.

I Present them to You today; Please Lord, forgive them their sins.

Save their Souls; wash them Clean in Your Blood.

Please write their names in the Book of Life, give them a Brand New Beginning and give them Assurances of Salvation.

Lord Please, uphold them till the very end and use them Mightily for Your Glory.

Thank You Precious Father. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we’ve Prayed – Amen.

Those of you who have just Surrendered your Life to Jesus Genuinely, we want to Congratulate you for the Decision you have taken this Morning to give your Life to Jesus.

May I ask that we put our hands together for these our New Brothers and Sisters – Even those we cannot see.

I am going to ask that you forward your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests to our father-in-the-Lord, who would be Praying for you from now on.

God Bless You!
