Brethren, I want to say Good Afternoon and say that today is a Day of Glory!

We Salute the Almighty God because He has put Joy in our hearts and He has covered our Shame.

We give Him all the Glory, Honour and Adoration!

I Salute the Bishop in the House – Our dear Neighbour who rose up to encourage us.

God will continually encourage you sir – It shall be well with you and your Church will grow in leaps and bounds in Jesus Name.

DMC NOTES: The Bishop under reference is:: Dr. Edward Onabedje Benson – The Presiding Bishop of Holy Fire Evangelical Church, Ogudu Scheme 1, Alapere Lagos State Nigeria.

Baba (DMC NOTES: Referring to the Current PICP LP 28 – Pastor Bola Orekoya); we want to say Congratulations!

Because at the time that we were Passing by and we saw this Church razed down by fire right on the Major road; we were thinking in our heart that the Enemies will be rejoicing now.

But the Bible tells us that when there is a cast down, there is a Lifting!

The Yoruba will say: “Ile Oba to jo, ewa lo bu si (DMC NOTES: This simply means: “When a King’s Palace burns down, the “Re-built Palace” is more Beautiful.

We want to give God the Glory and Adoration!

I sincerely want to greet Pastor Akinsulore here today – He was here when the whole thing started.

He was so traumatised that it almost turned to Sickness for him.

But today you have seen what God has done.

DMC NOTES: Pastor Silvanus Akinsulore was the immediate Past PICP in LP 28 and the PICP when the building got burnt in 2021. He is now PICP in Edo 5.

And this is a Message of Hope to everyone of us – Whatever you have seen in your Life that the devil has wretched down; seeing this Place alone and entering into this Place alone there is a Lifting for you in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

And so shall it be!

Congratulate your Neughbour for me and say: There is a Lifting for you – Amen!!!

DADDY GO SERMON

OPENING PRAYER

King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Great Restorer – We bless Your Holy Name.

We Thank You that today we can see what You have done.

We Thank You because You have confirmed that: “He who laughs Last, laughs Best” – Thank You today that Your Children are Laughing Last.

Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Today in all our lives, let there be Complete Restoration.

Complete Restoration of Health, of Strength, of Prosperity, of Joy, of Glory, of Anointing, of Lifting Up, of Mighty Breakthrough.

Let everybody here today, Inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; go home with a Testimony.

And when you have done it; Please take all the Glory.

Father, we re-dedicate this Building to You today:

Like never before, let this Place be a Miracle Center and don’t let there ever be a Tragedy here again but only shout of Joy.

Every Sick Fellow who will ever come here to Worship, heal them all.

Anyone who will come here for one Miracle or the other; Please Lord don’t disappoint them.

And let the Miracles begin now.

As we Pray in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen!

Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell him/her that: “Today is my Day of Restoration”.

And then, you may Please be seated.

Well, once again Congratulations to all of us.

We Thank God for what He had done – That He has now filled our hearts with Joy and our mouth with Praise.

The Book of Haggai 2:9:

The Almighty God was speaking and He said: The Glory of this Latter house shall be Greater than of the Former, saith the LORD of Hosts: and in this Place will I give Peace, saith the LORD of Hosts.

The Almighty God is the Alpha as well as the Omega.

Revelation 1:8, Jesus Christ said: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending; the One who is, the One who was, the One who is to come.

So, from the Beginning to the End and all that is in-between is under the Control of God!

And one thing that we have always discovered about God is that He always reserved the Best till the Last.

In John 2: 1-11; in the Wedding in Cana of Galilee – You know the Story.

When they ran out of wine and they were about to be embarrassed; the Lord intervened and turned water to wine.

And when the Fellow who was in Charge of Entertainment tasted that wine, he called the Bridegroom and said: People normally give their best wine at first; so that when People are drunk and they don’t know the difference, then they bring in the one that is not so good. He said that you have kept the best wine till now.

… God always reserves the Best till the Last.

So, I have Good News for Someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – What is coming in your Future is going to be far, far better than the Present (Amen).

So, when you go through the Scriptures, you will discovered that the Latter is almost irreversibly better than the Former.

When you read 2 Samuel 12: 15-25 – David Prayed hard for his son not to die but the boy died.

And when the boy died, another son was born – His name is called Solomon.

And the Bible says: ” God Loved him”.

So, the replacement become far, far better than the Original.

I have told the Story before – And some of you have heard it:

My mum had many girls and only one son and after that son, she said: Enough is Enough.

But after some years, the son died and so they had to beg her to be Pregnant again – After a lot of begging, she agreed and I was born.

Now, they always said that I am the best thing that happened to the Adeboye’s family.

Have you lost anything at all? I have Good News for you – Something far better is on the way (Amen).

In 2 Chronicles 1: 6-15 – Solomon gave a Thousand Burnt Offerings to God. Nobody had ever seen that kind of Offerings before.

As a matter of fact, the Priests were surprised – They thought that because Solomon was not very, very brilliant; he was a “Spoilt Boy” and so they thought that maybe he didn’t know what he was doing.

So, by the time he offered seven Burnt Offerings, they thought that should be enough but he told them that I have not even started and so went on until he gave a thousand Burnt Offerings.

He gave so many Offerings that the Almighty God decided to Pay him a visit and ask him: What do you want?

You know the Story – And he asked for Wisdom and Understanding.

And God said, alright since you have asked for Wisdom and Understanding, I will give you that and that which you have not asked for, I will add.

The next time that Solomon was going to give a Special Burnt Offerings, he didn’t give another thousand Burnt Offerings.

In 2 Chronicles 7:5; the Bible tells us that He gave twenty two thousand (22,000) Burnt Offerings plus one hundred and twenty thousand (120,000) Sheep.

… The Latter was so far Superior to the Former!

The Promise of God for him after that wasn’t just Money and Long Life but it was something out of this world.

That is why occasionally when some of you that are very close me give me a Gift; you know that I always Pray a Prayer for you – The Prayer is: Next time will be more.

Many People don’t know the meaning of that – They think: Is Daddy Greedy?

But there is a Story before that.

I went to Preach in Ikoyi and all the big, big boys were there. And there was this Young boy – I didn’t know how he managed to get into that Group but he got into the Group.

When I finished Preaching, he came to me and said that I have never heard this kind of Sermon before and I want to give you a Gift.

This “Small Boy” only had ten (10) Petrol Stations – That is how small he is compared to those he was mixing with.

So he gave me a Gift of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and I said: Thank You, next time it will be more.

He left my Presence angry – What kind of Greedy Pastor is this?

But the following Year, he came back to the same Gathering and after we finished he came to see me.

He said, last year when you Prayed that Prayer, I was upset. But now seeing that between then and now, I have ten (10) Petrol Stations but now owned one hundred and ten (110).

He said that I have come back to make sure that this time, it will be better than before.

I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Whatever Offerings you give here today will be the Least that you will ever give (Amen).

HOW CAN MY LATTER BE BETTER THAN MY FORMER?

Isaiah 1:19 says that: If you are Willing and Obedient, you will do what? You will eat the Good of the Land.

In the Story of the Wedding at Cana of Galilee; what turned their Story to Joy and what turned the Failure at the beginning to the Tremendous Success at the end is only one thing – OBEDIENCE!

The mother of Jesus told those who are waiting there – Whatever He asked you to do, do it.

For the rest of your Life, make Obedience your Watchword – That whatever God says do, you will do it.

And you will see how He can make your Latter End far, far Greater than the Beginning!

When you read Genesis 26: 1-16; you see the Story of Isaac.

He was in a Land where there was Famine and in a Land where things are very hard; even as we are going through some hard times in our Nation and he wanted to “Japa”.

He wanted to run away but the Almighty Gid said: Don’t run and stay here – Just obey me and do what I asked you to do.

And the Bible said that the boy stayed and the boy began to sow.

The first year he sowed, he got an hundredfold Returns.

By the second year, the Bible didn’t tell us how many folds Returns he got but the Bible tells us that the boy just kept on increasing steadily until he became Very Great.

Everybody around was shouting Famine but this boy was shouting Greatness.

He became so Great that the King of the Land came to him and said: Sir, you have to leave us because you have become Greater than us.

I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – The God that I serve is going to Prosper you so much that the whole Nation will hear about it (Amen).

You see, the Bible says in Proverbs 4:18 – It says that the Path of the Righteous will be as a Shinning Light; Shinning brighter and brighter until the Perfect Day.

2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us that if you really belong to Jesus Christ, you will be moving from Glory to Glory.

May I Prophesy to this Province: Very soon, this Building will become Children Church – Amen!

And what is the Conclusion? – Very Simple!

The Bible says I Colossians 1:27 – It says: Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.

If Chrust is dwelling in your – If He is absolutely in Control of your Life and if you are hundred Percent Obedient to Him; there is only one thing waiting for you in your Future. And that is Glory!

The Almighty God can move you from one Level of Glory to another if you learnt the Secret of always saying: “Yes Lord”- Whatever He says, that is what you will do!

As for those of us who doesn’t really have Christ in us; oh it is difficult to know what your Future will bring.

But today being a very, very Special Day, I will want to give you an opportunity to come – Surrender your Life to Jesus and let Him come and dwell in you.

And from that moment onwards, your Life will be from Glory to Glory – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

So, if you are here – Whether inside or outside or reading now on the Label of DMC; and you want to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ or you want to open up your Life to Him to come in and dwell; come before I count seven (7).

Come and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ and let Him take over.

Now, those of you infront, let us cry to the Almighty God and say:

Almighty God, I have come to Surrender my Life to You as You are the Only One who can Change my Shame to Glory.

Please save my Soul, come and dwell in my Life, come and take Control as I Surrender my Life to You today and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands to these our new Brothers and Sisters and Intercede for them.

Pray that the One who saved you will save their Souls also.

Pray that God will give them a Brand New Beginning.

Go ahead and Pray for them!

Thank You Father.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND FINAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS

So my Father and my God; I want to say Thank You.

Thank You for Your Words and Thank You for these People that has come to Surrender their lives to You.

Father, Please receive them in Jesus Name, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins.

Please Lord, enter into their lives and receive them into the Family of God.

And from now on, move them from Glory to Glory.

Anytime they cry to You, answer them by Fire and let them serve You till the very End.

My Father and my God; I’m committing everybody here into Your Hands – This is a very, very Special Day.

I Pray Lord that when I ask them to call on You now; whatever they ask from you today, before the Sun Sets, let it become a Testimony.

Let this day be a Day of Restoration for them and let it be a Day of New Beginning for them.

And Please Lord; very very soon, as a result of Today’s Service, let there be Multiple Testimonies.

I Pray once again for anyone who may be here with any form of Sickness or Disease; cancel all Doctor’s Reports and just make them Completely whole.

Anyone in any form of Bondage, Father set them Free today.

And Lord, anyone who has been Stagnant – Standing on one spot for a Long Time; this very Month, let their Promotion begins.

Answer the Prayers of Your Children by Fire and let it be well with all of us.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

The rest of us, if you believed that today is your Day, rise up on your feet and shout a Big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Now, I want you to think of something Big, something Great and something that only God can do.

Because you are going to ask God for a Re-Dedication Miracle!

You are going to say: I need a Re-dedication Miracle and then you will tell Him what it must be!

Go ahead and cry to the Almighty God!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
