King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Light of the world; the One who speaks and it Changeth not – We Worship You.
We give You all the Glory, all the Honour and all the Adoration.
Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Tonight we are here because You are in this Great City of Connecticut – In all our lives, Father Please do something New, do something Wonderful and just let Your Light Shine.
By the time that we will leave here tonight my Father and my God; I Pray that we will all sing a New Song of Victory.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with your Neighbour Left and Right and tell them: Neighbour, I love you but tonight, my Miracle will be bigger than yours.
And you may then Please be seated – God Bless You!
When God wants to Perform a Miracle, He does it Suddenly
And tonight in Particular, He has told me that He wants to do something/certain things Suddenly!
Because as soon as He has done what He wants to do, what else remains for us to do other than to rejoice.
You see, when in Genesis 1:3; He said: “Let there be Light”.
How long does it take before the Light came? – Immediately!
How long do you want your Miracle? – Immediately!
John 9: 1-7
- And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
- And his Disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
- Jesus answered, Neither hath this Man sinned, nor his Parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
- I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
- As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.
- When he had thus spoken, he spat on the Ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
- And said unto him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Jesus Christ was Passing by, this Man was born Blind and he was about 40 years old – He has been in Darkness all his Life.
But then, a day came and you know what?
He wasn’t even expecting anything Special will happen to him that day – He woke up in Darkness (And it wasn’t anything New to him as he has always been in Darkness; but by the time he went to bed, he was in the Light.
Some Months ago, I came to New York and the Brethrens here came and said: Daddy Please, Connecticut is very close; while you are here, Please come!
I said: Well, I’m sorry I don’t feel led to come at that time. And I said that I will come when God says come.
I am here tonight because God has finally said: Come
That tells me one thing:
☆ There is Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; whose Miracles can no longer wait.
☆ There is Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; who has been Praying and who has been crying to God for something.
And before I drop this Microphone tonight, the Answers to the Prayers will come – Amen!
So, I want you to be very, very Attentive and be on your toes – Tonight is not going to be like any other Nights that you have ever known – Amen!
When we say: “Let there be Light”:
- From the Story of this Man – He was born Blind, Jesus and His Disciples were Passing by; the First Thing that the Bible says is: “Jesus saw him”.
When you cry to God tonight and said: “Let There be Light”, the first thing that you are saying to God is: “Let the Searchlight of Heaven focused on me”.
Because to say that Jesus Christ saw him means that Jesus Christ Paid Special Attention to him – The One who made Heaven and Earth finally decided that it is time to see this Fellow.
I. You know that when I say “I see”; it could mean that my eyes is not having any Problem.
II. When I say that “I see”; it can mean: Oh, I understand what you are saying.
III. But when you say that “You want to see me” – You are Standing infront of me and you say that “I will like to see you” and then I say that it is okay, “I will see you”.
What I mean then is that I will give you Special Attention.
Tonight, in the Name of the One who sent me; God is going to Pay Special Attention to Somebody today – Amen!
And you know what? Whenever God Pays Special Attention to Someone, that Fellow can never remains the same.
I will give you an Example – John 5: 2-9:
It tells us of a Pool at a Place called Bethesda and the Bible tells us that there were many People there – Multitudes of Sick, Lame, Withered Hopeless People, People that the Doctors had written off; they were by that Pool because that Pool was Special.
Because once a Year, an Angel will come into the Pool, Stirred the Pool and the first Fellow to jump into the Pool will be healed – Just one Fellow.
And then all of a sudden, a day came that Jesus Christ was Passing by and of all the People there; He Paid Attention to one Man who had been there for 38 years. He healed that one Fellow and left the Place.
The Bible says that He saw a Man who has been there for 38 years.
☆ When God sees you, if you have been Sick, you will Sick no more.
☆ When Jesus Christ sees you, if you have been Barren – If the Doctors had said that there is no longer Hope; the same Doctors will say that we don’t even know what happened.
When God sees you, everything Changes!
And who is that Fellow that God will see today? – The DMC Family Members
I have always told you the Story:
We are having a Program like this and we are about to end. And so, I said that everybody close your eyes and Pray: Ask God for something.
And because I need Prayers too, as they were Praying, I was Praying too – I closed my eyes because that was how I was taught when I was Young. That when you want to Pray, you close your eyes.
And all of a sudden, God just spoke to me loud and clear: Son, open your eyes. I almost told Him: Lord, I am Praying!
But He insisted and I opened my eyes – And He Pointed to Somebody in the crowd who was wet with tears and said: Go and tell her to stop Weeping.
May I break my Story here and decree that: There is Someone here tonight, you will weep no more – Amen
So, I went into the crowd – And there was this Lady, wet with tears. And I tap her by the shoulders: Sister, God said “Stop Weeping”.
As soon as she opened her eyes and saw me and heard what I said; Oh her face brightened up – It was as if the Sun came out of the Cloud because she realised that at long last, God has heard me. God Singled me out for a Message.
In the Name that is above every other name, God will Single Out Somebody today or as you are reading now on the Label of DMC- Amen.
- When you say: “Let There be Light”; in this Story, you see the Disciples asking the Lord Jesus Christ: “Who Sinned? – This Man or his Parents that he was born Blind?”
I. By that Statement, they are saying that: “A Man’s Personal Sin can cause a lot of Problems”.
Because the Bible made it clear that: “The wages of sin is Death” – DMC NOTES: Romans 6:23.
The Bible states it clearly that: “The Soul that sineth shall die” – DMC NOTES: Ezekiel 18:4.
So, when you say: “Let There be Light”; you are actually saying to God: “If I cause this Problem because of my sin, forgive me today”.
And fortunately, the Bible says in 1 John 1:7 – The Blood of Jesus Christ Cleanses from all sins.
So, when I say: “Let There be Light” based on the Story of this Man, you are saying: ” Father, let the Blood of Jesus Christ avails for me
Because there is Nobody here who can say that he or she has never sinned.
And If we were to be Punished for every sins that we have Committed, our Problems will be there for a very long time.
But tonight, when you cry to Him: “Let There be Light”; you are saying that ” Let the Blood of Jesus Christ avails for me – Whatever that I have done that is causing my Problem; Almighty God, let Your Blood wipe it away!
And I am decreeing in the Name that is above every other names – Whatever that is in your Life that is as a result of the sin in your Life that you have Committed; the Almighty God will forgive you today – Amen!
Some of you have heard the Story before:
There was this Lady, always coming to the Pastor: Please Pray for me – I am barren and I want to have my own children.
After several years, the Pastor said: What is going on? Every other Fellow that I have Prayed for, God had answered them and they are Fruitful. And so what’s the case?
So, he called the woman that let me know a little more about your case.
And the Woman said: Well, when I was in High Sxhool, I made a Mistake amd became Pregnant.
And my Parents must never heard that – Tried Abortion and it went wrong; so that by the time they took me bleeding to the Hospital, the Doctors said that in order to save my Life, they had to take out my Womb.
And so the Pastor said: You mean you have no Womb? And you are asking me to Pray to God to make you Fruitful?
She said that you are the one who taught us that: “With God, all Things are Possible” (DMC NOTES: Matthew 19:26).
The Pastor said Okay.
From that day onwards, whenever the Pastor saw her comimg from one side, he will take the other side.
One day, she saw the Pastor dodging her and she turned her face to the Almighty God and say: I won’t go to the Pastor Prayers anymore, help me!
God will help Somebody today – Amen!
That Night she had a Dream – In the Dream, she found herself Standing naked in the room and a huge Man came in with the skin of an animal in his hand.
She was so frightened that she couldn’t move.
The huge Man came towards her, wrap the skin of the animal round about her waist and disappeared.
When she woke up the following Morning, she was Menstruating.
And within a Month, she had her first Child.
Her sin caused her Problem, but when Light Shone on her, the One who created Heaven and Earth, gave her a Spare Part.
I decree one more time – Whatever any Problem might be in your Life; as a result of something that you did wrong, be forgiven today (Amen).
II. The Second Question that they asked the Lord Jesus Christ about this Fellow is: “Was it the Parents that sinned that he was born Blind?
That means that the sins of Parents can create a Problem for the children because God Himself said it that: “I am a Jealous God, I can visit the sins of fathers on children, to grandchildren and even unto several Generations – That is what He said in Exodus 20: 4-6.
I mean you find another Example in 2 Kings 5: 20-21 – It was Gehazi who sinned. But when Elisha was Pronouncing a Curse on him, he said that the Leprosy of Naaman will cleave unto him and unto his Seeds forever.
You know that what Scientists are just discovering now about Genes, has been in the Bible long ago – That if the father is a Leper, you can trace Leprosy to the son and so on and so forth.
DMC NOTES: A Gene is the basic Physical and Functional Unit of Heredity. Genes are made up of DNA.
Some of us are in Problems today not because of what we did but for what our forefathers did.
But I have Good News for you – When the Light of God Shines on you today, it doesn’t matter what had been there in the Family-line troubling you; it would disappear tonight (Amen).
Some of you Probably heard the Testimony of a Sister who was 33 years Old – Married and she was bedwetting.
When she came and ask for Prayers, I said that this is a small Problem – Something is wrong with your Bladder. We will cry to God and He will give you a Brand New Bladder.
She said: Sir before you Pray, she said that she is bedwetting, the mother was a Bedwetter, the Grandmother is a Bedwetter and all the girls in the family bedwets.
And so I knew that this is Nothing Physical.
What happened? She told me the Story – The Grandmother offended Somebody else who Pronounced a Curse on her and said: Every girl born in the family will bedwet.
You know that, that can be very Shameful.
I said that is no Problem – You give your Life to Jesus Christ, you move out of that Line and the Curse will not touch you again at all.
In a situation like that, I don’t have to Preach long for her to give her Life to Jesus Christ – She did and we Prayed a Simple Prayer.
And you know what? The following day, she came back rejoicing – And she said that for the first time in 33 years, she woke up and the bed was dry.
So quickly, she came, brought all the other Sisters – They all gave their lives to Jesus Christ and bedwetting stopped.
In that Name that can cancel every Curses – If there is any Family Curse operating in your Life, it will be destroyed tonight (Amen).
- Now, when you read the Story further; you will find out that Jesus Christ spat on the Ground, mix a little bit of mud and the Bible said that with that mud He anointed the Place where the eyes are supposed to be.
When you say: “Let There be Light” tonight; what you are saying is: “Please Father, bring me in Contact with Your Anointed Hand.
You see, because it was mud that Jesus Christ touched; but the Bible says that it was Anointing that touches the eyes of the Man.
When the Anointing of God comes in Contact with you; every Yokes in your Life will becomes destroyed immediately!
Because Isaiah 10:27 says: The Anointing destroys the Yokes.
In Mark 5: 25-34; the Bible tells us the Story of a woman with the Issue of Blood. The Doctors had tried their best but they have failed.
And then, she heard that Jesus Christ was Passing by and she said that I am not going to ask Jesus Christ to Pray for me. But she said that if I can just touched the hem of His Garment; I know that my Problems will be over.
She went from behind and struggled through the crowd and touched the hem of the Garment of Jesus Christ.
And Power flowed through the hem of the Garment into the woman; so much so that Jesus Christ said: Who touched me?
And Peter said: Everybody is milling round you and you are saying who touched me.
And Jesus Christ said: No, Anointing flowed out – Somebody touched me.
I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – The Anointed Hand of God is going to touch you now (Amen).
I will just give you an illustration:
Again, it was the case of a woman – She was barren. I think this happened in Canada.
And after the Program, everybody was Struggling – They want to touch my chair and so on and so forth
But this woman left them to struggle with my chair and went to the chair my wife sat.
She got there, knelt down and said: God, the Doctors said that I have no Ovaries, I don’t have this and that and that is why I can’t have children.
The woman who sat here has all these things that I don’t have and she doesn’t need them again. So, how about an Exchange?
Do you know that the following year, she already had her baby.
There is something called Anointing and it can destroy Yokes.
Believe me honestly – And I am saying this with all Humility and Gratitude to God, the fact that I am sitting down here means that every bit of the Altar is already Anointed.
And it might be interesting that while you are dancing tonight, if you can sneak your way to the Altar and touch it – It will be unto you according to your Faith.
I will need to jump now because the Lord asked me to Stop.
- Do you know that after this Man’s eyes were opened – Because the Lord asked him to go and washed his face in a Particular Pool. He went and came back seeing.
And then People began to argue – He is the Man? No, he is not the Man. We know him – He was that Blind Man.
No, have you ever seen a Blind Man seeing?
Finally, the Parents said: Ask him – Then they asked him: How come you now see?
He said that there is a Man who put mud in my eyes and asked me to go and wash – I washed and I came back seeing.
Who is that Man? This Man they called Jesus.
Oh, He can’t be! We know Jesus – He is a Sinner and a Sinner can’t Perform a Miracle.
Do you know what the Man said?
Whether He is a Sinner or not, I don’t know, but one thing that I know: Whereas I was blind, now I see.
Let me tell you something – Very soon, your friends won’t even recognised you when they begin to see Dramatic Changes in every facets of your Life – Amen!
Even when you visit your Doctors, he will say that you are not the same one.
It is not going to be long because your Bankers will say Please don’t move your money away from our Bank.
Because the Light will begin to Shine into your Life today and things are going to Change!
The Good News is that: The Light is here!
But you have a Choice – You can allow the Light to come in or you can keep it out.
In Revelation 3:20; Jesus Christ said: Behold I Stand by the Door and I knocked. If any Man hears my voice and opens the Door; then I will come in to him.
You know that it could be 12 Noon outside – Bright Light everywhere but in your room, you can shut the Windows, lock the Doors, draw the Curtains and every Place will be dark.
God arranged it such that Somebody will come all the way from Africa to come and bring you this very Simple Message that a Child can understand.
All He is saying is that: “Light is here”.
I brought it to you on a Special Day.
Will you allow the Light to come in?
Because the Choice is yours – You can cry to God tonight and say: God, let there be Light!
If you ask Jesus Christ: Who is the Light?
And He said so in this Story – If you ask Him to come into your Life, He will accept the Invitation.
But the moment He steps into your Life, He takes over – He will not come into your house as a Tenant. The moment He comes in, He becomes the Landlord; the moment He comes in, He will be the one dictating.
He asked Peter: Can I use your boat? Peter said come in. He came in and begin and Preach.
When He finished Preaching, He told Peter to cast his Nets.
Peter looked at Him – If you learnt any Trade at all, it is Carpentary. I am the Fisherman and I have fished All Night and there is no fish in this River tonight.
But something told Peter that the Man you allowed into your boat is now the Controller.
Then Peter said: At Your Word – You know the Story.
The moment He steps into Your Life, He takes Control.
But when He takes Control, it is for your own Good.
There are many of us who goes to Church – We sing, we shout Hallelujah, we clap but we are still our own Controller and we still do what we want to do, when we want to do it.
Tonight, if you are going to say: “Let the Light comes”; You are saying: Jesus from now on, Your Word is Law – Whatever you say, that is what I will do.
That is what is called Genuine Salvation.
That is why the Bible says that if any Man be in Christ, he is a New Creature; Old Things has Passed away (The way I used to do it is no more) and all things has become New.
ALTAR CALL
So before I allow you to Pray and cry to God for Light, those of you who Genuinely want to say that from now on, Jesus You will be my Lord, You will be my Saviour, You will be my Commander-In-Chief – Whatever You say, I will do.
Genuine Surrender to Jesus Christ!
I am going to count from one (1) to ten (10) – If you are in that Group, come and Stand before the Altar.
I will Pray for you – He will save your Soul and then we will Pray together.
And then, you will see that this Man of God is not a liar – He will tell you the Truth, the whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth.
So, begin to come now as I count!
Now, talk to the Lord now and say:
Lord, I mean Business, I have come to You to Surrender my Life to You; Please have Mercy on me, save my Soul, be my Lord, be my Saviour, take over my Life as I want Your Light to Shine into my Life and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
The rest of us, Please Stretch your hands towards these People and Pray for them:
