MINISTERING (DAY 1 EVENING SESSION): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

DATE: 27TH DECEMBER 2024

BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:18

Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

SONG:

We give You all the Glory
We give You Honour;
We give You all the Glory
We give You Honour (Jesus)

OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God, we give You all the Glory, we give You all the Honour, we give You Adoration: For all You’ve done in our lives since the last time we were here.

Thank You in advance for what You are going to do in the next one year.

Father, accept our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.

My Lord and my Saviour, I am committing all Your Children here Tonight, including those reading now on the Label of DMC, into Your hands.

Like never before, visit each and every one of us.

We are going to be asking You for something very Special Tonight:

Father, whatever it is Your Children would ask you Tonight: before the Sun rises tomorrow, let it become a Testimony.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell him or her: God is about to Surprise you.

And then you may Please, be seated.

Thank you very much! Be seated.

In Ephesians 5:18, it is written: And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.

It is a known fact that when a Man goes to bed drunk, by the time he wakes up in the Morning, he will be sober – So sober that the first thing he wants to think about is to drink.

When he was going to bed he was full of alcohol; by the following Morning he would be sober. So, to remain drunk, he has to go ahead and take more alcohol.

It is interesting that the Holy Scriptures compared being filled with the Holy Spirit to being drunk with wine.

In other words, God is saying: No matter how full of the Holy Spirit you may be right now, there is always space for more.

One of the biggest Problems of Older Ministers is that, because they were full of the Holy Spirit at a time, they tend to feel that they don’t need to be full again.

When you go through the Scriptures – In Acts 2:1-4, on the Day of Pentecost each one of the Apostles was filled with the Holy Spirit.

But then, by the time you get to Acts Chapter 4, you would hear again that they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

So you want to say: What happened? I thought they were full in Acts Chapter 2? How come we are now talking about them being full again in Acts Chapter 4?

You see, when it comes to the Holy Spirit, God expects you to be Constantly Full.

As Young Ministers, I know the Almighty God has been using many of you, through the Power of the Holy Spirit – But no matter how full you think you are, there is room for more.

How many of you want more of the Holy Spirit tonight? The DMC Family Members!

Let me hear you Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

I am going to tell you Two (2) Stories – some of you have heard them before.

I was traveling between here (Redemption City of God) and Ibadan (DMC NOTES: Ibadan is Capital City of Oyo State Nigeria). And my Mind was going over the Great things God had done for us in this Ministry.

And I just happened to remember that one day we were having a Convention at the Headquarters in Ebute Meta (Lagos Nigeria).

Suddenly, a woman ran out of the Compound, stood at the gate. And from the gate she began to call her friend who brought her from another town to Lagos: “Mama Lagbaja!”

And the friend said, what are you doing outside the gate? She said, just bring me my bag. “Why do you want your bag?” She said, I am going home.

Okay! If you are going home, come and get your bag yourself then. And she said, “No! I can’t come in.” The friend said, why can’t you come in? She said, “There is Fire there.”

Ordinary eyes could not see the Fire; but the woman; apparently belonging to the Kingdom of Darkness, saw the Fire of God, and ran out.

I remembered that occasion and I was Thanking God.

And then I remembered another occasion, of a woman in Ilorin (DMC NOTES: Ilorin is Capital City of Kwara State Nigeria).

I was Ministering like this, and a woman ran out of the Church while the Service was on, and the Ushers followed her out. When they got out they found her trying to run away.

They asked her, “What happened?” And she said that when the Preacher was Preaching, her dress caught fire (Physically).

So they brought her to me after the Program – She was rejoicing.

She told her Story: that her children were dying and she wanted to Protect them, so they won’t die anymore and then she went to one Prayer Man.

When she got there, the ‘Prayer Man’ was busy; but she met the wife and told her why she had come. And the woman told her, you don’t have to see the Prophet for that. “All you have to do is eat this kola nut: and your children won’t die anymore.”

She ate the kola nut and discovered that from that Night, she was able to fly, to attend Meetings.

At the Meetings they were sharing human flesh. Very soon, it was her turn to Provide the meat for the Feast. So, she gave them her husband.

After a couple of years, it was her turn again; and now they asked for one of the children.

At that time she said, “No! I joined you because I wanted my children do be safe.” And from that day, she began to look for Deliverance.

She’s gone all over, until she came to our Church in Ilorin (Kwara State Nigeria). And when her dress caught Fire, she rejoiced.

She said, I know I have gotten to where I would be Set Free.

We Prayed a simple Prayer for her.

When she got home to ease herself; you know, because they use Pit Latrine in most of the houses then – You spread a piece of paper on the ground, you do your business, and then throw it in to the Pit Latrine. And she excreted a dead snake.

I remembered that Story and I was glad – Thanking God.

Suddenly my Daddy spoke to me and said: “Son, when was the last time you had that Raw Divine Manifestation of Power?”

I had to admit: Lord, You are doing Marvellous Things; but it was a long time that we had that kind of Visitation.

And Daddy said to me: Son, do you want your Fire back?

Ha! Of course, Daddy.

“Are you willing to Pay the Price?” I said, any Price!

And He told me what to do – That’s not for discussion Tonight.

I did what He wanted me to do;

And it wasn’t long after that, we had a Program here in this Auditorium where you are now, Publicly.

I was Standing on the Altar; I had finished Preaching, made the Altar Call and People were coming forward.

All of a sudden there was Fire on the roof – Directly above my head. But those who were coming forward to give their lives to Jesus Christ kept coming.

The Fire Fighters were ready, waiting for me to move out of the way, so they can put out the Fire.

I stood there, Ministering to those who came for Salvation; did everything else I needed to do and then moved out of the way.

Very quickly, the Fire Fighters climbed their Ladder, got to the top of the roof and there was no Fire – Hallelujah!

Everything is recorded; it’s on Tape – No smoke, no asbestos sheet burnt, nothing!

So I want to ask you a Simple Question:

• Do you want your Fire back? Yes Sir!
• Do you want Greater Fire than you have ever known before? Yes, Sir!

I am going to Pray for you now.

Then I would ask the Organizers to give you at least ten (10) Minutes to cry to God:

For that kind of Raw Power of God – The kind that you have never known before.

To descend upon you and upon your Ministry.

Let’s stand on our feet (if you can).

CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I want to bless Your Holy Name.

Ancient of Days, I want to give You all Glory, I want to give You all Honour and I want to give you all Adoration; for these very Special Set of People.

Thank You for bringing them to this Year’s Program.

Thank You because You are about to do a New thing.

Father, accept my Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.

As many of them as would Genuinely ask you for Real Baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire, answer them Tonight.

The way You have kept on Baptizing me in the Holy Spirit and Fire; in the same manner, Daddy I request, do the same for them.

Let Tonight be a Landmark in their lives.

Do something for them Tonight, that for the rest of their lives, they will never forget.

And then let them use the Fire to burn every Force of Darkness in their lives.

Let them use the Fire to consume every Force of Darkness in their Ministries.

Let them go on Shining Bright for You throughout the world.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name, it is done!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Now, I want to beg everybody: We are not here for Jamboree or we are not here for Show – This is an awesome moment.

Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God:

Father, the Fire of the Holy Spirit, like I have never known it before, let it descend on me now.

Go ahead and cry to the Almighty God!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
