EXTRACTS FROM THE DAY 1 SESSION OF THE RCCG THE AMERICAS CONTINENT 1 MINISTERS’ AND WORKERS’ CONFERENCE 2024

FIVE (5) QUESTIONS ASKED BY THE YOUTHS AND YOUNG ADULTS AFFAIRS (YAYA); AND THE ANSWERS GIVEN BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE DURING THE AMERICAS MINISTERS’ AND WORKERS’ CONFERENCE 2024.

DMC NOTES: Question and Answer Session as Moderated by Pastor Leke Adeboye.

Good Evening everybody!

Daddy, we are grateful for this opportunity to ask a few Questions”

QUESTION NO 1:

Sir, Can we establish a Group of Representatives of YAYA to speak for Age Sixteen (16) to Thirty (30) in the RCCG System at the Tables where decisions are being made?

ANSWER GIVEN BY DADDY GO:

It is absolutely okay for a Representative of any Age Group to be at a Meeting where decisions are made; to make a Presentation.

But to become Part and Parcel of that Level were decisions are made is not Scriptural.

If they have something they want to say, they can request for audience at the Level where decisions are made – They can come, and make their Presentations.

The Authority will listen to them, give them assurance that they will definitely consider what they have said; after serious Prayer, and get back to them.

That I can guarantee from now on.

… Please, clap well if you are clapping.

QUESTION NO 2:

Daddy, what steps can be taken to reduce Church Leadership Politics and Invites among the Senior Pastors and Regular Pastors in the Mission (RCCG)?

And how can the Leaders be held accountable to Prevent discouragements among the next Generation?

ANSWER GIVEN BY DADDY GO:

That’s a serious one!

All we can do is remind these Church Leaders that our Number 1 Goal as a Member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (Pastor or no Pastor) is to make Heaven.

If these People forget Heaven and begin to play Politics; it would be sad that they are Leaders on Earth and they would end up as Leaders in Hell. We can only tell them the Truth – We can’t force it into their brains.

We have seen Top Leaders forgetting their Original Goal; in what you call ‘In-House Fighting.’ Because, if I am going to Heaven, and that’s my Number 1 Goal; and you are also going to Heaven, I don’t see me fighting you: We would be Partners in Progress.

But if one is going to Heaven and the other has deviated from the Narrow Path; that’s when Problems come. So all we can do is remind them (like I’m doing now).

Which is one of the reasons why the Theme for our Annual World Convention 2024 in Nigeria this Year (DMC NOTES: Starting from 5th to 11th August 2024); is “HEAVEN.”

Because it looks as if some People have lost focus of Heaven. It does not Profit a Man if he gains the whole world and loses his Soul.

So the Leaders are hearing me now, Inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: We know that America is the bedrock of Democracy; but I’ve said it again and again, “God is not a Democrat.”

Democracy is the Government of the People, by the People, for the People – I hope I got the sequence right?

But you didn’t hear the Word ‘God’ in that and you will not find Democracy in Heaven.

Because, wherever there is Democracy, automatically there is Politics. If you don’t allow God to rule through you in His Church, you will have to deal with Him.

Because He says in Matthew 16:18: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not Prevail against it.

… So, if you become a ‘Gate of Hell’ in His Church, He will know how to deal with you.

More than that, there’s very little we can do, because “Politicians will be Politicians.” And they pay the Price at the right time. Okay!

Thank You Daddy.

Please, if you are clapping, clap very well

QUESTION NO 3:

Daddy, we’ve heard you say it repeatedly in the Morning Devotionals this Season that you have asked God not to allow you visit RCCG North America because there are other Places to visit.

Sir, what should RCCG North America do to ensure that you will keep coming Year after Year, until the Trumpet sounds?

ANSWER GIVEN BY DADDY GO:

I have a Commander-in-Chief, and I will always obey Him. He is fully aware that a Soul is a Soul – Whether an American Soul, an Egyptian Soul, a Japanese Soul.

He knows that His Church is in close to Two Hundred (200) Nations of the World.

He knows that there are many of these Nations that I have never visited once.

He knows that we have to love our Neighbours like ourselves.

That if you have been visited dozens of times, and there is Japan, Iraq, Iran, Libya that have not been visited once; He might expect you to be considerate and let those People have a taste of what you’ve been enjoying over the years.

So, what can Americans do to cause me to begin to come year after year as we used to do in the past?

They would have to talk to my Commander-in-Chief – If He says come, my answer would be, Yes LORD.

*If He says, these People are already over-fed, let’s go and feed those who are hungry – “Yes LORD” will be my answer.

One thing I know though is that, in a way I cannot explain, He has a very great Love for America.

Daddy, Thank You Sir.

QUESTION NO 4:

Daddy, there’s a Mass Exodus of Youths and Young Adults (YAYA) from the Mission (RCCG) due to Indiscipline and some other issues and Lack of the Raw Manifestation of the Power of God in Services and Programs.

How can we fix this Sir?

ANSWER GIVEN BY DADDY GO:

I think the Elders are here, inclusive the ones reading now on the Label of DMC:

I. Because the Word of God made it clear: “These People will not believe unless they see Signs and Wonders.”

And I believe this will drive the Elders to their knees.

There is only One Miracle Worker, and that is God. And if you know how to approach Him there would always be Miracles, Signs and Wonders.

The Holy Ghost Service started in Nigeria in 1986 – Inspite of all the traffic jams, and all manners of hardship; every First (1st) Friday of the Month, the Place is packed at the Redemption Camp.

Why?

• Because they know if they get there, they will hear from the Holy Spirit.
• Because they know if they get there, Miracles will happen.

But then, behind the scene is the fact that the little Vessel that God is going to use will lock himself up for days, before the Holy Ghost Service.

To say Daddy; You have to do something because Your People are coming.

So the Elders will wake up, begin to spend Quality Time with the Miracle Worker.

We don’t go to the “Green Room” before Ministration; but we go to the Prayer Room:

• To seek the Face of the One who must go with you to the Pulpit for anything to happen.
• Go to the One who knows who and who will be coming to Church; what and what are their Needs?

And be able to meet those Needs through you as you open your mouth to speak; because you have already spent time with Him.

If the Battery is not Charged, at the crucial moment when you want to start the car, there’ll be failure.

… That’s Number one (1).

II. God does not need to Perform Miracles through the Elders alone.

Philip was a Young Man – He belonged to the Group of YAYA.

He left the Elders in Jerusalem, went to Samaria and turned the entire City upside down, because of the Signs and Wonders that God Performed through him.

So I can say this: The Youths who are leaving the Church to go and attend another Church where he says Miracles are happening; is like someone who sees his father’s house leaking and instead of fixing the leak, decides to go to another man’s house.

The Youths, if they find that the People at the Top are tired; should cover the Nakedness of their Leaders, by crying to the Almighty God and saying: “Your Promises are for those who believe” – not those who are Elders”.

… And I hope that is clear?

QUESTION NO 5:

Sir, when Elijah was leaving, the Mantle fell for Elisha. How do we Prepare to be able to receive the Mantle?

Even if it’s coming like Agbada that we might have to cut to a waistcoat, so that some of us will share it.

ANSWER GIVEN BY DADDY GO:

Elisha did not ask for Position of Leadership.

Elisha did not say to Elijah, “I want to be the Leader of all the Sons of the Prophet at your departure.”

My advice to the Young Ones is: Don’t seek Position, Seek Anointing.

If you seek Anointing and you get it; “The Gift of a Man will make a way for him.

Please, can we stand and say: Thank You Daddy for this opportunity?

Help me celebrate our Daddy.

Thank You Sir.
