GENERAL PRAYER
Lift your hands and Worship the Covenant Keeping God; let’s Bless His Holy Name: He is the One that can never fail.
He is the One who watched over us while we slept; He woke us up this Morning, and caused us to come to His Presence.
Let’s worship Him! Let’s call Him by His Native Names – He is our Deliverer, our Healer, our Provider, our Strength, our Defender, and Shield and our Buckler.
There is none like the God of Heaven and Earth. Bless Him, Honour Him, Adore Him, Worship Him: He is Worthy of our Praises.
No one can Save like Him, no one can Bless like Him, no one can Father us like Him.
He deserves our Worship – He is the Covenant Keeping God, He has never failed; He will not fail today.
In Jesus’ Name we worship – Amen.
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty Father we Worship You!
The God that has no Beginning of days, and has no End of Days; You are the Almighty!
The One that doeth Wondrous Things; the One who alone reigns forever; You are God, and the Captain of our Salvation, we bow to Worship You!
Only You knew about today; and You have brought us into a Day You alone knew ahead of time.
Thank You for our Glorious Destiny in Your Hands – Only You can Encounter a Man and he will never remain the same again.
We ask Oh God, in this Morning Encounter; save Souls this Morning, heal the Sick, and do Miracles too numerous to number.
Let none that has appeared before You go back empty handed.
Holy Spirit have Your way!
Thank You Mighty Father.
For in Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
Halleluyah!
If you are Expectant of a Divine Encounter this Morning with the Lord, I want you to put those hands together for the Almighty God Himself.
The Topic before us this Divine Encounter is: “BETTER THINGS FOR YOU.”
I want to thank our Parents-In-The-Lord – Daddy and Mummy GO, for this Uncommon Privilege.
For this Uncommon Opportunity to stand on their behalf to deliver the Message to the People whom He has sent this Message to.
I don’t know how many of such People are here, or reading now on the Label of DMC; but if you are one of such People, let me hear you shout Halleluyah – Halleluyah.
Tell Him: Lord, I am here!
Hebrews 6:9-12
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
… May the Lord bless the reading of this Scripture, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:1, Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
As many of us who have been following our father-in-the-Lord during the Divine Encounter Services by Faith and Patience; we shall inherit the Promises, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
And today is Somebody’s Day for this Inheritance, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Apostle Paul in our Bible Text (Hebrews 6:9-12) was assuring the Hebrews Brethren of better things for them – And those things were Particularly things that accompany Salvation.
Today I am here by the backing of Heaven and our father-in-the-Lord, to assure somebody that something better is coming to you – Amen!
It is coming to you as an Appointment Letter, as Visa, as Examination Success and Promotion – Amen.
It is coming as answers to your Prayers, as a Wedding Bell – Amen.
Praise the Lord – Halleluyah.
Finally, there is somebody here this morning, or reading on the Label of DMC; what is coming to you is coming as: Healings, Deliverances and Open Doors – Amen.
If you are the one, shout three (3) Powerful Halleluyah – Halleluyah!Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!!
God is not Unrighteous to forget your Labour of Love unless you are the one who has forgotten Him.
In Hebrews 13:5, the Bible says … For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
God will never leave you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
I met a Young Man from Germany sometimes ago in a shop – He said to me, “You look like a Pastor.” I said Yes, I am a Pastor.
He said, “I used to be a Christian, but from what is happening to me and my family now, I don’t think I have a Portion in Christianity. I don’t think God loves me.”
I said to him, that’s not true! God loves you, He sees you, He can’t forget you.
The Problem is that you have forgotten Him and if you go back to Him and call upon Him, He will answer you; and give you Testimonies that would be evident that He has not forsaken you.
And I told him – In Life, Nobody is willing to include you in any Good thing until you include yourself.
For While we were yet Sinners Jesus Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
It is now left for you to accept Him into your Life life.
You may be here this Morning, or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you feel by reason of what I am going through, the Lord has forsaken me.
May I assure you: The Lord has not forsaken you, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
Generally speaking, God wants us to have better things in Life – No matter the Level you are in Life right now; it is the Will of God for us to have better things in Life.
In Psalms 34:10, the Bible says, The Young Lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
And the Bible says in Psalms 84:11, For the LORD God is a Sun and Shield: The LORD will give Grace and Glory: no Good Thing will he withhold from them that walk Uprightly.
You are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC because you are seeking Him and you are walking Uprightly.
May I announce to you that He will not withhold any Good Thing from you – Amen.
I don’t know your desires and what you have been Praying for; all I know is that He is going to meet you at that Point of your Needs, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU
- If you are already Rich, God wants something better than just being Rich.
By becoming Wealthy and Flourishing.
If you consider the Story of Isaac in Genesis 26:13 Precisely; the Bible says, And the man waxed Great, and went forward, and grew until he became Very Great.
To be Rich is Good, but to be Wealthy is Better.
No matter your Level of Comfort, may the Lord give you something Better than Comfort – Amen.
- If you are Poor, God wants you to have something better than poverty.
And Riches and Prosperity are better than Poverty.
In Psalms 113:7-8 the Bible says, He raiseth up the Poor out of the dust, and lifteth the Needy out of the dunghill; That He may set him with Princes, even with the Princess of His People.
If God does not want to give you better things, He will leave you in the dust.
If you are living in want and Poverty, be rest assured that this Morning or as you are reading now on the Label of DMC; you are going home with something Better – Amen.
So shall it be in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
That is why you should be Expectant and Confident.
- If you are Sick, God wants to have something better than sickness.
And that is Good Health.
Your Health is very important to Him.
In Exodus 15:26, He says, for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
If He doesn’t want you to have something better than Sickness, He cannot give you Good Health.
- God wants you to have something better than Barrenness.
And that is Fruitfulness
In Exodus 23:26, the Lord says, There shall Nothing cast their Young, nor be barren, in thy Land: the Number of thy Days I will fulfil.
If you are going through Barrenness of any kind, I want to let you know that, that is not the Will of God.
And whatever is not the Will of God does not have a Place in your Life.
Lift up your voice and say: Whatever is not the Will of God doesn’t have a Place in my Life!
And so shall it be, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- If you are a Tenant, God wants you to have something more than just being a Tenant.
It is to become a Landlord.
In Jeremiah 29:5, the Bible says, Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and Plant Gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
I didn’t see in the Bible where God says you will only be a Tenant – What He says is, “Build ye houses”.
If God says we should build houses, why should mine be an exception?
You would be a Landlord, in Jesus’ Name – Amen”.
- Are you Single and of Marriageable Age? God wants to give you a better Status.
He says in Jeremiah 29:6, Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
All of the Single Men take wives and beget sons and daughters. Give your daughters’ hand in Marriage that they may beget sons and daughters.
Praise the Lord – Halleluyah!
What are we saying this Morning by this Topic? We are saying that Better Things are ahead of you – Amen.
And you are going to receive them this Morning, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
How many People would receive it? The DMC Family Members!
Shout a better Amen – Amen!
The word ‘Better’ means that there is something more that is Preferred to what you have; that is Preferred to where you are and God wants to take you there.
That is why you have Promotion, Increase, Prosperity, etc.
There is always something better that is being Preferred to where you are.
And our Bible Text (Hebrews 6:9-12) says, But, Beloved, we are Persuaded of better things of you. We are convinced, we are sure that better things are coming; Particularly things that accompany Salvation.
If you are Genuinely Saved, you need not fear.
When the Scripture says something is sure, know that it is true, and it must come to pass – Nothing can stop it.
Whether your Faith can carry it or not, Nothing can stop it.
As a matter of fact, what God wants to do in your Life and in my Life, our Faith may not be able to carry them.
THINGS THAT ACCOMPANY SALVATION
What are the things that accompany Salvation?
These are the Benefits that you are going to receive during this Divine Encounter. For Example:
- HEALING
One of the things that accompany Salvation is Healing (Health).
1 Peter 2:24 says, Who His own Self bare our sins in His own Body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto Righteousness: by whose Stripes ye were healed.
Therefore, anyone that has accepted Jesus as Lord and Personal Saviour, has Healing and Health following him or her.
Few years back I was so Sick – I went to different Hospitals but there was no Solution. They did X-rays and all manners of Tests and found Nothing.
One of the Doctors, after eExamining me said, “my friend, the complaints on your head and chest that you are making are not related. We can’t find anything wrong with you.”
Meanwhile I was dying! My head was as if it was splitted – The Upper Part was light and the Lower Part was heavy. When I walked, it was as if there was a paper on my head.
And because paper is Light, I was walking with the consciousness of balancing the paper so that it would not fall.
That was how my Upper head was. And the Lower Part was heavy.
Then my chest (Heart) was always heated as if on fire. Such that, except I Poured iced water on the floor and lie down, I would not be able to sleep.
And I remembered the Problem started when I was in the University Campus.
I was reading in the Library and something hit me at the back of my head (skull) and I slumbed!
I was reading for my degree Examination – I had written three (3) Papers, remaining two (2) Papers to go.
I couldn’t see what was written in the book – My eyes were rotating on the book and I was sweating under Air-Conditioning.
I told my Neighbour, “I don’t know what is wrong with me. Please, can you help me? I want to go.” And he managed to take me to the Hostel.
As I got to the Hostel, I was uncomfortable and I couldn’t sleep. So I had to take Sleeping Pills (overdose of it) – That was when I slept off.
By the time I woke up to following Morning, I said Oh! So I am still alive?
And that was the beginning of the Problem – For years, there was no Solution and somebody told me, this thing is not Ordinary; go to a Bible Believing Church and let them Pray for you.
Because I was not Born Again then, I went to our Neighbouring Church.
Because I wanted to be healed, I was doing everything they were doing – I didn’t even experience Salvation as it were.
It was long after I had Surrendered my Life to Jesus Christ Genuinely that I knew the difference between being Saved and just going to Church.
The Problem still was not solved – It was the Day I Surrendered my Life Genuinely and Totally to Jesus Christ, in a Service like this. After that Day, I forgot about the Problem on my head and the heat on my Chest.
For two (2) Days, I didn’t remember it.
That very day I remembered it, till today! Because of my Salvation I became healed and I have remained healed.
Somebody shout Halleluyah – Halleluyah!
Healing in your Portion today, because that is what accompanys Salvation – Amen.
If you are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you’ve not given your Life to Jesus Christ, get ready to do so; because your Story will soon Change, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- PEACE OF MIND
For those that are in trouble; one of the things that accompany Salvation is Peace of Mind.
What the devil stole from us is Peace – That is why the world is in trouble.
Peace of Mind does not mean that there are no troubles – It does not mean that Dollar is stable, it does not mean that the Price of rice has fallen, it does not mean that there are no Kidnappers, it does not mean that there are no Ritual Murderers.
Peace of Mind does not mean the absence of all these – Peace of Mind is what makes you Unshakeable and Unmovable.
Jesus said in John 16:33, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have Peace. In the world ye shall have Tribulation: but be of Good Cheer; I have overcome the world.
Jesus has overcome the world for you; and He will give you Peace – Amen.
John 14:27 says, Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, is taking the Peace of Jesus Christ – Amen.
Philippians 4:7 says, And the Peace of God, which Passeth all Understanding, shall keep your Hearts and Minds through Christ Jesus.
In that trouble, receive ye Peace – Amen.
3.FRUITFULNESS
The Original intention of God from Genesis 1:28 is that we would be Fruitful. But the devil came to corrupt our Fruitfulness.
In John 15:4-5 Jesus said, Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
All you need to do is to abide in Him.
And you can only abide in Him when He is your Lord and Personal Saviour – When you are saved, you abide in Him.
… The things that accompany Salvation (before we begin to Pray);
- PROTECTION AND DIVINE COVERAGE
During the April 2024 Holy Ghost Service last Friday, our father-in-the-Lord Ministered to us on the Theme, “Shielded by Fire.”
Zechariah 2:5 says, For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the Glory in the midst of her.
He is talking about Jerusalem:
You are in Jerusalem this Morning and right where you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC; the Lord will build a Wall of Fire round about you – Amen!
He will Shield and Protect you – Amen.
FIRE AND GLORY
The Two (2) Things that God uses to Protect, Defend and Cover His People are: Fire and Glory.
God does not Protect with Ak-47, knife, arrows. No! He covers you with His Fire and Glory.
Nothing can Penetrate His Fire and Glory.
Exodus 13:21 says, And the LORD went before them by Day in a Pillar of a Cloud, to lead them the way; and by Night in a Pillar of Fire, to give them Light; to go by Day and Night:
- In the Day He covered them with Glory – The Enemies could not access.
- In the Night He covered them with Fire – The Enemies could not come near them.
May His Glory and Fire cover you – Amen.
… The things that accompany Salvation are many:
5.CONTENTMENT
In 1 Timothy 6:6 the Bible says, But Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain.
Many of us are too Greedy – Some Persons are even ready to kill to get what they want.
We are not Contented.
- You have a Bungalow, you want a Duplex.
- You have a Duplex, you are looking for an Estate.
- You have thousands, you will not give Sleep to your eyes until you have Millions.
Contentment is a Great Gain.
You can’t be Godly until you have given your Life to Jesus Christ.
This Morning, let’s remember that our Topic is, “Better Things for you.”
You will not leave this Arena or end reading this Message now on the Label of DMC, without your own Miracles – Amen!
Kindly rise to your feet and let’s Pray.
Shout three (3) Powerful Halleluyah – Halleluyah! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!!
GENERAL PRAYERS
- Say Father, that Better Things than what I have, than where I am that I need; Please, deliver to me now.
Go ahead and Pray: that thing that is better than Poverty, Loneliness, said Singlehood – Please give to me Lord.
Lord Please, I need something better than Sickness, Barrenness, Stagnation.
- Are you a Tenant and your Landlord is troubling you? You need your own house.
- Are you of Marriageable Age? You need a Change of Status.
Talk to God: Better Things for me; better Living Condition, better Health.
In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
- Say Father, everything that accompany Salvation that is written in Your Word, today let me have them in full: Good health, Prosperity, Peace, Victory, Children, Marriage.
In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
- Say Father, Please don’t allow me to forsake and abandon You in my family, business, Ministry, Prosperity.
In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
So shall it be, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
ALTAR CALL
May I finally say: Your situation and Life can never be better unless you hand them over to the Lord Himself.
I did it Forty (40) years now and I have never been the same again.
Your struggles and battles would continue, if you fail to Surrender your Life Genuinely to Jesus Christ.
If you are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC and you are yet to Surrender your Life to Jesus Genuinely, do so now.
And we will Pray for you, so that your struggles and battles of Life will not be for too long.
Better Things are coming! Today you are entering into something better – Amen.
As you Surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ, your Problems would Surrender to you – Amen.
Please, talk to the Lord and say Lord Jesus, I have come to You today to Surrender my Life to You.
I am sorry I have been going my own way, managing my own Life. I have sinned against You and my fellow men; have Mercy on me.
Pray! He will hear you!
Only those who ask for Mercy receive Mercy – If you don’t ask for Mercy, trouble awaits you.
In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Heavenly Father, we want to Thank You.
These ones have heard Your Word and they have come unto You.
You said in Your Word that whosoever will come unto You, You will in wise cast out.
Receive them Oh LORD; have Mercy upon them, forgive their sins; wipe their sins away with Your Blood, write their names in the Book of Life.
And beginning from today, the Power to go and sin no more; the Power to live for You; the Power to enjoy the Things that accompany Salvation, grant unto them.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.
In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
For those of you have just Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ Genuinely; our father-in-the-Lord will need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.
He will be Praying for you and you will be experiencing Miracles.
Praise the Lord – Halleluyah.
Have you been Blessed today? Yes Sir!
OFFERING
It is time to give our Offering to the Lord.
What you give will only leave your hand; but can never leave your Life.
Luke 6:38 says, Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
So this Morning, we are going to Exchange that little thing we have for something better.
Are you ready to give to the Lord?
Dance to the nearest basket (Online) and drop your Offering.
We will pray for you before we go.
Over to you Band!
CLOSING PRAYER
And so our Father and our God, we want to Thank You.
Whatever we have as Assurance in Your Word will come to Pass.
This Morning You have assured us of Better Things that accompany Salvation.
Lord, we are asking, even as You have delivered these Better Things; by the time we leave this Program, may we experience them all in the Name of Jesus.
Lord, the Blessings of this Divine Encounter Service, Nothing shall reverse them, in Jesus’ Name.
Much more than we have asked for, give unto us, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
Lord behold our Offering; by Fire of Your Acceptance receive the Offering in the Name of Jesus.
Let it be an Opening Door Offering;
An Offering of connection to Better Finances.
An Offering of connection to Better Breakthroughs.
Let to be so in the Name of Jesus.
Use this Offering, Sanctify it.
In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.
Somebody shout Halleluyah – Halleluyah.
Say: I a going home with something Better!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
