OPENING PRAYER

King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Ancient of Days, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending.

The One who is, the One who was, the One who is to come.

The Almighty, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Glory be to Your Holy Name.

On this Very Special Day; I Pray:

That You will bless all Your Children.

That You will answer all their Prayers.

That You will turn all their Requests to Testimonies.

My Father and my God, as far as Plateau State is concerned, let this Day marks a New Beginning:

A New Beginning of Peace, of Progress, of Joy, of Success and of Divine Visitation.

Please take care of our Governor (DMC NOTES: His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang); take care of his Government and take care of all those who wish him well.

And Lord God Almighty, let there be a Mighty Revival in Plateau State,

Thank You Almighty God,

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Turn to your Neighbour and say: Neighbour, I love you but this Morning; my Miracle will be Greater than yours!

Please be seated!

Each Time that I come to Jos, it is always very difficult for me to leave – There is something Magnetic about you.

If I ever will have a Second Place where I would retire to; it will be Jos.

God Bless You all!

I Salute all my Brothers and Sisters from the Government and from the Church.

The God that you have come to honour today will honour you all – Amen!

Revelation 4: 10-11:- We want to talk about: “Promoted for a Purpose”.

Revelation 4:10-11:

10. The four and twenty Elders fall down before Him that sat on the Throne, and Worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their Crowns before the Throne, saying,
11. Thou art Worthy, O Lord, to receive Glory and Honour and Power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy Ppleasure they are and were created.

What is the meaning of Promoted?

It means lifted up from one Level to a Higher Level by Someone who has the Authority to do so.

I mean, a Cleaner cannot lift up a Cashier and made him an Accountant.

Promotion comes from God – It doesn’t come from the East, West or South but it comes from God.

And God is about to Promote Somebody today – Amen!

When God decides to Promote according to 1 Samuel 2: 7-8 – He can Pick up even a Beggar from the dunghill and cause him to sit with Kings.

And I know what I am talking about:

I was born in a Village that until recently wasn’t even on the Map of Nigeria. My father was so Poor that Poor People called him Poor.

But God picked the son of Nobody and Promoted him – That when I visit some Nations of the world; their President will send his Official Car to go and pick me from the Airport.

The God who Promoted me, will Promote Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen!

Now, when we say: “Promoted for a Purpose”; what do we mean by the “Purpose”?

We mean the reason why the Promotion was born.

And according to the Bible Text that we read to us this Morning (Revelation 4: 10-11); everything God does, it is for a Purpose!

And the Purpose was for His Own Pleasure!

The twenty four (24) Elders in Heaven are constantly saying to Him – They lay down their Crowns and they say:

I. Lord, You are the One who gave us the Crowns – We lay the Crowns at your feet and we say that You are Worthy.

II. You are the One that should be Glorified – Thank You for making us for Your Purpose!

From today onwards, there is Someone listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC – The rest of your Life will bring Pleasures to God (Amen).

I will be brief because they are already waiting for me in Abuja (DMC NOTES: “The Day Out with The God of Daddy GO” Abuja taking Place).

1. When God heals you, He is Promoting you from Sickness to Health.

In the Name of the One who sent me – Whatever Sickness you brought here; you won’t go back home with it (Amen).

For Example:

I. In Mark 2: 1-12 – When they brought that Man who was Paralysed from neck downwards to Him and they had to break through the roof to get into His Presence.

He healed that Man so that God might be Glorified.

The reason He is going to heal Somebody here today is so that for the rest of your Life, God will be Glorified!

II. In Matthew 8: 14-end – When Jesus Christ came to Peters house and he found the Mother-in-law sick of Fever.

The reason why He healed her immediately is because He needed Somebody to Prepare Him food.

As soon as He healed the woman, the woman began to Minister.

Everything that has not been allowing you to Minister to God the way you want; God will remove it today – Amen!

2. When He sets the Captives Free, it is so that His Name might be Glorified!

I. In Mark 5: 2-20 – It tells you the Story of the Mad Man of Gadara. A Man who was so Mad that even Mad People ran away from him.

When Jesus Christ set him free and drove out all those Demons; the Man became an Evangelist for God.

II. When you look at Luke 8: 1-3 – When He chased out seven (7) Demons out of Mary Magdalene; it is so that Mary Magdalene can become a Divine Treasurer.

You may not realised it – But all Demons in the world; Particularly those in your family, they have a rough idea of what God wants you to become. And that is why they have been doing everything to slow you down.

But I have Good News for you – This Morning, God is going to Promote you beyond their reach so that the Purpose of God for your Life may be fulfilled (Amen).

If you ask my Pastor here – He will tell you that they were not even sure that we will hold this Meeting this Year but I told them that this Year, I am coming.

I told them that I’m coming because Light is not to run from Darkness – It is Darkness that will run from Light.

The devil had a rough idea of the Revival that is going to take Place in the North beginning from Jos.

For one reason or the other, he (devil) has kept me away from here (Jos) for seven (7) years and I said: “No More”.

As the Lord lives – The One who has called me; every Year, I will be back!

Because the Fire that God is Lightning today, will never go out – Amen!

3. When God Prospers the Poor, it is for a Purpose!

In Genesis 12: 1-3; God Pronounced seven (7) Blessings on Abraham.

And the Number 4 of it – Which is the Turning Point of it all is that he will become a Blessing.

May I decree to Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – It doesn’t matter how Poor you are now; my Father will bless you (Amen).

And you will become a Blessing – Amen!

God is eager to bless you; Provided that you are eager to be a Blessing.

I have always told you the Story of small boy.

Several years ago, every Sunday as he is coming to Church, he will beg the mother – Please give me one Naira.

What do you want to do with it? I want to give it to Daddy GO.

Every Sunday, very small thing and he will come and give me one Naira.

One day he said: Daddy, I am going to buy you a Plane.

I lay my hands on him and I said: Amen!

Well, as little children were, he grew up and travelled and so I didn’t see my “One Naira” Man every Sunday again.

Then one day in London, we just finished a Holy Ghost Service, there was this Young Man standing before me: Daddy, you don’t remember me? I said the face looks familiar and he said I am your “One Naira” Man.

And he said, I don’t have money to buy you a Jet yet but I have a gift for you outside that can’t be brought in.

So I went to see and it is a Mercedes Benz Car.

I lay my hands on him and said that God who has brought you thus far will take you to the Level where you will fulfill that Promise.

Some Months ago, I heard that the same “One Naira” Man has won an Oil Block – I said: Oh, here comes my Jet.

Is anybody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC who will want to be a Blessing? My God will Promote you – Amen!

4. When God anoints you, it is for a Purpose.

I told the Ministers that the Anointing of God on you is not for you – It is for the People who are in need.

I told them that a tree does not eat the Fruit it Produces.

Have you seen a Mango Tree, eating Mango? Or an Orange Tree eating Orange? – No, it Produces it for others.

When God anoints you, it is so that through your Anointing, the Yokes of others might be destroyed.

For Example in 1 Samuel 22: 1-2; the Bible says that David departed into a cave called Adullam.

He was running from King Saul because King Saul had realised that the boy is Anointed.

And everybody who had a Problem – Those who are in debt and those who are in distress; they gathered themselves together to David and he became Captain over them.

Those who were heavily in debt says that if you want to collect your money, you have to deal with the Giant Killer first.

Years later, all these Vagabonds, and all these Hopeless People who gathered together to the “Anointed One” they became Mighty Men – 2 Samuel 23: 1-end.

The Anointing for Greatness that came upon the Shepherd Boy and that Promoted him out of Nothingness was used to Produce Mighty Men!

I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – They may not know you now; even in your family you may not count. But I decree in the Name that is above every other name; because of the Anointing you will collect this Morning; Mighty Men will be following ypu – Amen!

5. When Somebody has been Stagnant for a long time and God decides to lift the Person out of Stagnancy; it is not only that, that Fellow will Praise God but he will teach others how to Praise God.

In Acts 3: 1-8; the Bible tells us about a Man who was born Lame and he was always sitting down by the Beautiful Gate of the Temple.

They will bring him there in the Morning and they will come and carry him away in the Evening – All day long, he will beg but he never had a Promotion.

… I just want to call him – Chief Beggar.

But one day came like today and God Promoted him and he was no more Stagnant.

The Bible says that He wasn’t just walking; he was Leaping and Praising God.

You see, there is Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; who has been Stagnant for years. You have been on the same spot for years – You have been working for years and there is Nothing to show for it. People have even begin to say: Where is the God that you are Serving? But in the Name that is above every other name, your Progress begins today – Amen!

But the Story of that Man didn’t end there – He was Leaping, Walking, Praising God and went into the Temple now and show the People in the Temple, this is how to Praise God and not the way you are doing it.

You know those in the Temple – When they are Singing, they hardly move.

But this Man was Jumping, he was Leaping and his Hallelujah wasn’t a cold one.

God is going to put an end to Stagnancy in your Life – Amen!

And then you will stop Praising God as if He is begging you!

It doesn’t matter how big you are; you can’t receive a Miracle and be Quiet about it.

All the Great, Great Men that comes to Church and hardly open their mouth in Praise, when they go to the Stadium to watch Football Match and their Team scored a Goal; they forgot who are they and they shout like anybody else.

If Jesus is going to score a Goal for you today, shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

6. When God saves a Sinner, or when He Promotes a Sinner, it is always for His Own Pleasure.

It took Saul who later became Paul – Who described himself as Chief of Sinners (1 Timothy 1:15).

God turned him to Chief Apostle – That’s a Big Promotion (2 Corinthians 11:5).

God went to the “Worst of Sinners” and turned him to the “Best of Saints” – Not for fun but for a Purpose!

In Acts 19: 11-12; the Bible says that God Performed Special Miracles by the hands of Paul so that from his body, Aprons and Handkerchiefs were taking to the Sick; the Sickness disappeared and the Demons fled.

When God Promotes a Sinner, He turns him to a Saint – It is for a Purpose!

And I am an Example:

I have said it before that I was so rotten that If I were Jesus, I won’t save this boy.

I will give you an illustration:

As a Young boy, I was a Sportsman and I love Photography – Before today that everybody has become a Photographer.

You combine these two – Sportsman and Photography; then you get a “Dangerous Boy”.

It got to a Stage that I have so many Girlfriends that I can’t remember their Number.

And occasionally, when 2 or 3 of them collide in my room, I had the Problem of introducing one to the other – Oh, this is the daughters of my Uncle cousin.

But of all these Girlfriends, there was one – We did everything together.

But we grew up – She went her way and I went my way. She got married and I got married.

Years Passed now – I was Lecturing at the University of Ilorin and Pastoring our “Little Church” at Ilorin at the same time.

Then in the Place of work, they transferred her husband to Ilorin and she came with her husband.

She has a baby born Lame and Somebody told her – Oh, there is a Pastor in one Church up there. Take this child to him, if he Prays, the child may walk.

So, she brought the child to the Mission House where I was staying – Met some People at the Verandah and said I want to see the Pastor and they told her he is inside.

So, she came in and saw me – Ha, Old flames; long time no see et cetera et cetera .

Then she said that I want to see the Pastor and then I said Yes, can I help you?

She said I want to see the Pastor and I said I am the Pastor.

She said: You! You the Pastor? And I said Yes.

She said you will Pray and God will answer?

She didn’t know that between the Time we left and now, something had happened as I have met the Lord Jesus Christ.

And when a Man is in Christ, he is a New Creature; Old Things had Passed away and all things has become New.

We Prayed a Simple Prayer and the Child began to walk for the first time.

When Gid Promotes a Sinner, He turns him to a Saint for a Purpose – So that he can now go back and Perform Miracles for Fellow Sinners.

ALTAR CALL

So, if you know that you are still living in sin – Oh, I go to Church, that is not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the difference between doing sin as you want and living a Life of Holiness.

If you know that you are still living in sin: You still tell lies, you still cheat, you still fornicate and you still tell what are called “White Lies” – I want you to let God Promote you this Morning.

Let Him give you the kind of Salvation that He gave me – The kind of Salvation that turns me to a Brand New Creature, that allowed Old Things to Passed away and all Things become New.

Because if you say that you are Born Again and you are still living in sin, Somebody is deceiving Somebody.

If you are Genuinely Born Again, sin will become Completely Repulsive to you.

If you want to really, really give your Life to Jesus Christ, I’m going to count from one (1) to ten (10) – Before I say ten (10); come and Stand infront here so that I can Pray for your Salvation.

Please, do so as I begin to count!

SONG

Have you been to Jesus for the Cleansing Pow’r?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His Grace this hour?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?

CHORUS

Are you washed in the Blood,
In the Soul-Cleansing Blood of the Lamb?
Are your Garments Spotless? Are they White as Snow?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Savior’s Side?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be White!
Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Will your Soul be ready for His Presence Bright,
And be washed in the Blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside the Garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the Blood of the Lamb;
There’s a Fountain flowing for the Soul Unclean,
O be washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

Now, those of you who has come forward and those on the way; cry to Jesus:

I don’t want to be a Sinner anymore – Save my Soul, have Mercy on me, Promote me out of the Position of a Sinner as I want to become Your Children.Let Your Blood wash me Clean.

The kind of Salvation that You gave to the General Overseer, give that kind of Salvation to me.

Go ahead and cry to God!

And the rest off us, Please Stretch your hands towards these our New Brothers and Sisters and Intercede for them – Pray for them that the Almighty God who save our Own Souls will save their Own Souls also. That God will give them Genuine Salvation.

Thank You Father!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
