Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. The One who was, the One who is, the One who is to come, the Almighty God.

Glory be to Your Holy Name!

Thank You for all You did for us Last Month (August 2024); Thank You for that awesome Convention and Thank You for a New Beginning Lord.

Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.

Father, we Pray that in this New Beginning for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), in all our lives, let there be something Good that is New.

New Miracles, New Signs, New Wonders, New Joy, New Anointing, New Promotion, New Successes.

So that Your Name and Your Name alone would be Glorified.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, let Somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People – Prophesy to them and say: You will have a New Encounter with God today.

And then you may Please, be seated.

Our Theme for this Month (September), as you know is: “HEAVENLY REWARDS”.

And God is going to Reward Somebody from Heaven today, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Philippians 4:15-19

15 Now ye Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me, as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 For even in Thessalonica, ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

19 But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

GOD IS A REWARDER.

The Bible says in Hebrews 11:6 that God is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

When you go to an Hotel or a Restaurant of repute to eat – Not a rundown Hotel; as soon as you arrive, the Waiter comes to you.

As you are sitting down, he brings you a glass of water.

When you are drinking the water, he brings you the Menu, and he will wait while you are going through the Menu.

That is why they called them Waiters.

Then you will select what you want and he will go and bring it.

Many atimes, when he has brought what you ordered and you taste it and you change your mind; and you order something New, he won’t complain. He will go and bring it.

At the end of the day, when you are about to leave; for waiting on you, for looking after you and taking care of you, you give him something they called “a Tip” – You give him money that is beyond the cost of what you have eaten.

Now, how much Tip you give is determined by how rich you are:

• Poor People give Poor Tips.
• Rich People give Rich Tips.

Years ago, I went to America with one of my sons who is definitely not Poor.

When you are there at the Airport, People would come to help you carry your Luggage.

If you are there, when they help you like that; when they finished, you give them ‘a Tip.’

And I used to give one of these People One Dollar ($1) because that is a lot of money to me.

Then on one occasion, my son gave one of these People Ten Dollars ($10) and I said, “Ha! Ten Dollars ($10)?”

He laughed and said, “He too must eat.”

I was a bit ashamed of myself – Ashamed or not ashamed; I didn’t have that kind of money to give Ten Dollars ($10) to any one fellow at all.

But I learnt a Lesson that day: “The Tip you give is determined by how much you have.”

Now, there is Somebody in Heaven – The Owner of the Earth and the Heavens:

• The One who says Silver is Mine, Gold is Mine.
• The One whose Streets are Paved with Gold.
• The One who is called the Almighty, the All-Sufficient, the God who is More Than Enough.

When He wants to give a Tip, He gives it Abundantly.

I have Good News for Somebody: You are about to get a Heavenly Rewards – Amen.

And it will be far, far beyond your Imagination – Amen.

Because the Bible says about this God, that – He is able to do, Exceeding Abundantly, above all you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

Somebody is going to get a Miracle from God this Month (September 2024) that is beyond your Asking – Amen.

It will be even beyond your Thinking – Amen.

In 1 Kings 17:8-16, the Widow of Zarephath gave her Last Meal.

The Heavenly Rewarder decided, “Okay, because you are willing to do this, I will make sure that for the rest of your Life, you’ll never lack food.”

I Pray for Someone here today, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: You will never Lack food again – Amen.

In 2 Kings 4:8-17, there was a woman who was already rich, who gave a Meal to a Prophet. And then the Prophet kept coming back for more. And she decided, “I will give him more than food: I will build a house for him.” She built a house for this Man of God.

And when God was going to Reward her – He rewarded her.

Not with Money – she already had money;

Not with Food – she already had food.

But she needed something that money can’t buy – she needed a Child.

The One who is called the All-Sufficient God gave her what money cannot buy.

There are some People; Particularly this Month (September 2024): When the People who are Trusting God for the Fruit of the womb will be coming for the Holy Ghost Service – God is going to give them something that Money cannot buy – Amen.

In John 6:5-13, a Young boy gave all his Lunch. When Jesus Christ needed something to feed the crowd, a boy Surrendered his Lunch.

When everybody had been fed, there were Twelve (12) Baskets leftover.

And as I have told you before – I wasn’t there; but I’m sure that the Twelve (12) Baskets were taken to the house of that boy.

Because the Bible says, “All waters run to the sea, and the sea is not full. Because where water comes from is where it will go back to.”

That boy left home with Lunch; and he came back with enough food to feed several People.

… I don’t know who I’m talking to;

There is Somebody here today, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC, who would do something for God that he has never done before; And God will Reward you beyond measures – Amen.

In Luke 5:1-7, Jesus borrowed the boat of Peter to Preach. When He finished Preaching, He decided to give Peter a Tip.

I am sure Peter would have been extremely happy because he had fished All-Night and caught Nothing;

If after that Preaching Jesus Christ had said: Alright! I know you haven’t caught any fish overnight, let’s see if we can get you a dozen of fish – Throw your Net to this side and catch some twelve (12) Big Fish.

Peter would have gone home rejoicing.

But the King of Kings doesn’t give the kind of Gifts that Ordinary People give – The King of kings, when He wants to reward, He rewards Royally.

And so he threw just one (1) Net and caught enough fish; not only to fill his boat, but to fill the boat of somebody nearby.

Not only were the two (2) boats full, the Bible said they were so full, they were beginning to sink.

There is something that is called “Boat Sinking Blessing.”

In the Name of the One who sent me, that kind of Blessing will be your Portion this Week – Amen.

You see, there is a kind of Blessing that you yourself would begin to say to God, “Almighty God, is this not becoming too much?”

You will get that Blessing this Month (September 2024) – Amen.

But then, in the Passage we read as the Bible Text in Philippians 4:15-19; we all love to quote Philippians 4:19 – “But my God shall Supply all your Needs according to His Riches: in Proportion to how rich He is.

In other words, He is going to Supply your Needs because He is the All-Sufficient One – He will Supply Your Needs in a manner that you won’t have any more needs.

We quote that Passage (Philippians 4:19); but many of us forget what came before. That is why I read it from Verse 15.

Paul said, of all the Churches where I have gone to Minister, Nobody sent me a Gift except you, Philippians.

He said:

• I didn’t ask them, so they didn’t give.
• I didn’t ask you, but you gave. And you gave again and again. And now you have given another time.

He said: As the One who has called me lives, I decree that my God – The God who called me, will Supply all your Needs according to His Riches in Glory (Amen).

• That Prayer is for those who have been taking care of Paul.
• That Prayer is for those who have been taking care of their Pastors.
• That Prayer is for those who have been taking care of their General Overseer.
• Not that they will come to you begging;
• Not that they will come to you saying Please, I’m hungry. No!

When the Shunamite woman said to Elisha, “you must come and eat in my house.” Elisha said, “No! I’m not in Need: the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”

The Shunamite woman said, I know that! “But you are not going until you eat in my house.”

Everything we get from God is actually determined by what we do.

I have told you before, that the Summary of all the Teachings of Jesus Christ is that, “Nothing goes for Nothing.”

I. Your Salvation is free because Somebody Paid for it with His Blood.

II. Your Healing is free because Somebody Paid for it by His Stripes.

“Give and you shall be given” – It came out of the mouth of Jesus Christ. It is not something that you argue about.

Play your Part and God will Play His Part – He has more than Sufficient to meet your Needs.

But everything will be determined by what you do yourself.

For Example, in 2 Kings 4:1-7; there was a Widow of one of the Sons of the Prophets who was bankrupt.

When she came to Elisha he said, “what do you have in the house?” She said, “a little pot of oil.”

Elisha said to her, “go, borrow empty Vessels. Borrow not a few” – You know the the Story

As long as there were empty Vessels, the Oil kept on flowing.

The All-Sufficient God is there in Heaven, ready to fill as many empty Vessels as Possible.

How many Vessels of Oil the woman got was determined by her.

How much Blessing we would receive in this New Redeemed Calendar Year. (2024/2025) would be determined by us.

Several years ago, God told me: You Provide chairs and I will Provide those who would sit on them.

When you go through this Auditorium and you try to count the chairs, you will be surprised how many chairs are here.

When He told us to go to 3km by 3km Auditorium, there were some of my children who said, “ Àṣejù fẹ́ wọ o” – That means, “you are about to go beyond yourself.” I smiled!

You were here during the Last Convention; was it “àṣejù” (DMC NOTES: Beyond Boundary) on our side? No!

“… Provide the chairs, and I would Provide those who would sit on them.”

Enlarge your Coast in Giving, and God will enlarge your Coast in Receiving.

If you are a Miser, you are only hurting yourself.

In this New Year, let us make up our Minds to work with God in a New way; and show Him that if others are not even working for Him, we will do our best.

Because sooner or later, like Paul said, God is going to say, “others are not doing my work, but you alone have been busy: now it is my turn to Reward you from Heaven.”

Heavenly Rewards are never little – There is more in Heaven than the whole Earth can contain.

It is Possible for the Almighty God to bless you so Mightily that People will become afraid of you – And I know what I’m talking about.

It is Possible for you to be here this Morning – Brought in by Okada (Motorbike) or somebody gave you a lift.

It is Possible for the God that I’m serving; that before the end of this year (2024) – Not only will you have your own car, you will have Buses that will be bringing people to God – Amen.

… But it is up to you!

Years ago at Ebute Meta (DMC NOTES: RCCG National Headquarters Parish in Lagos Nigeria), this small boy would come to Church and beg the mother for One Kobo (1K). Kobo was big then.

The mother would ask, “what do you want to do with it?” And the boy would say, “I want to give it to the Pastor.”

Later, he increased it to One Naira (N1).

Every Sunday, this little boy would come and give me the money and say, “one day I will buy you a Jet.” And I would lay my hand on him and say Amen and bless him.

Years Passed, and he grew up and disappeared; I didn’t know that he had JAPA’ (DMC NOTES: Meaning travelled Abroad).

One day, after the Holy Ghost Service in London, he came to me and said, “Sir, do you remember me?”

The face looked familiar but this fellow is big now.

He said: I’m your One Naira (N1) Boy. I don’t have money to buy you a Jet yet, but I have a Gift for you and it is outside.

“The kind of Gift that they can’t bring to the Office must be Special.”

The Gift was a brand New Mercedes-Benz X-Class.

And I blessed him: That the goal that he has set for himself, God will bring it to pass.

Not too long ago, I heard that he bidded for an Oil Well in Nigeria and won.

When I heard that, I said, “Praise God, here comes my Jet.”

When God begins to bless that boy now, those who don’t know his Story will become jealous of him.

Try to find out the Story that leads to Glory.

God is willing to Bless You; it is up to you – The Choice is yours.

But I want to decree one more time: The God that I serve; the God who sent me, will Supply all your Needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

Of course, you can’t expect Him to Supply all your Needs if you are not one of His Own.

So, if you are here, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not yet given your Life to Jesus Christ:

The first step to take is to come forward now and Surrender your Life to Jesus.

And you have to come very quickly, because I’m going to count only from one (1) to five (5).

If you want to give your Life to Christ, so that you can become a Member of His family; so that you can be sure He would Supply all your Needs, come now, as I count….

When you give your Life to Jesus, your Life begins afresh – Everything will become New.

And all the Blessings that God can give to His Children can then become yours.

Cry to the Almighty God and say: Father; Please save my Soul and forgive all my sins.

I want to be one of Your Children, I want to serve You all the days of my Life.

Please, forgive all my sins LORD and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

The rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them – That the One who saved our Souls would save their own Souls also.

Pray for them Brethren.

Thank You Father.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

My Father and my God I want to Thank You.

I want to Thank You for Your Word and I want to Thank You for those People who have come forward today to Surrender their lives to You Genuinely.

You Promised that whosoever will come to You, You will in no wise cast out.

These People have come now Lord; Please receive them, in Jesus’ Name.

Save their Souls, forgive all their sins, let Your Blood wash them Clean, receive them into the Family of God.

And Father, any time they call on You from now on, answer them by Fire.

And don’t let them ever go back into the world.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah.

Those of you who have just Genuinely Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, I want to rejoice with you.

I Promise you that from now on by the Grace of God, I’ll be Praying for you.

So I need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.

God Bless You!

Now, if you are clapping for Jesus, do so very well.

Thank you very much!

OFFERING

And now, the rest of us; we are going to give our Offering to the Lord.

Remember, He is not a beggar. And what you get in return would be determined by what you give unto Him. Let this be a New Beginning for you, even in your Finances.

So, you’ll take your Offering now and stand on your feet:

Lift the Offering to the Almighty God and Pray with Faith and say: Father; for the rest of my Life, don’t let me give an Offering that is less than this.

Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God: Help me Lord, so that from now on, I would always give more than this.

Let this be the least Offering that I would ever give.

Bless me in such a manner that I will never give anything that is less than this.

Thank You my Father. Glory be to God.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

So, dance to the nearest basket, drop your Offering (Online). And then I will Pray for you again.

Over to you Choir.

REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL PRAYERS.

Now, there are some People who wrote and said they wanted Special Prayers and they were asked to come to the Divine Encounter.

So, if you are among such People, come to the Altar and talk to God – Come and tell Him what you were Planning to tell me in the Office;

Then I would join my Faith with yours and He would grant your Requests.

The rest of us, wherever we are, we can go ahead and ask God for Something Special for this Month of September.

Something Mighty and Glorious, something only God can do.

Go ahead, talk. To Him Now.

Thank You Father.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

CLOSING PRAYER

The God who is More than Enough, will Grant your Requests.

Everything you have asked for, He will do for you.

All the Beautiful Things you need to have that you have not even asked for, He would add to you.

This Month (September 2024), He will give you Pleasant Surprises.

Your Joy will be Full.

Your Joy will Overflow.

Physically, He would make you Whole.

Financially, you would never borrow again.

Spiritually, your Anointing would Overflow.

And the Ability to serve God, so that He can Reward you accordingly; the Almighty God would give unto you.

It shall be well with you!

God will Bless your Offering.

He will use it for His Glory and He would give you more than a Hundred Fold Returns.

Even before you get home today, there would be a Sign that God has heard you.

So shall it be!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

And let Someone shout hallelujah- Hallelujah!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
