OPENING PRAYER

Alpha and Omega, the One who was, the One who is, the One who is to come!

The King of Glory, the One who has helped us and we are alive on the third (3rd) day of January 2025.

We lift up our hands; we lift up our voices and we say: Glory be to Your Holy Name!

We are full of Gratitude, because we are what we are because of You.

And we Thank You that You have never allowed the Enemies to Prevail over us.

Thank You that we can gather here today.

Thank You for the Privilege of receiving a Word from You.

This Particular Night, visit every one of us in the Name of Jesus.

Daddy, the one that can say a “Louder Amen”, visit that one in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Let the Visitation be Remarkable.

Daddy, that Word that will make us to see Your Mighty Power tonight, release it unto each of us in the Name of Jesus.

And Please Lord, take all the Glory.

In Jesus’ Matchless Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Somebody can say a “Louder Amen” – Amen.

God Bless You!

Please, be seated.

We want to really, really Thank the Almighty God that we are alive today and that we are into a Year that He Himself said it is Remarkable.

Glory be to His Name.

I do not want to take it for granted; as I really, really, really want to honour our Daddy G.O and Mummy G.O.

For how they have been the kind of Models we have looked up to, and God has used them to lead us.

And they have given us the opportunity to share this Word on this first Holy Ghost Service Night in the Year 2025.

I Pray that God will renew their Strength – Amen.

God will continue to Celebrate them – Amen.

And all the Years to come, they will continue to Stand Out all over the World, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Brethren, tonight our Theme for the very first (1st) Holy Ghost Service in the Year 2025 is: GLORY AHEAD.

Somebody shout: Glory Ahead!

I am asking you to shout, because I really want it to settle into you.

These Themes are not given carelessly.

I am going to read just a few verses of Scripture from the Story in 2 Kings Chapter 7.

If you have time you can read the whole Story – It’s a Story that we know.

I will read just the first 2 verses, and then I will read verses 18 and 19.

2 Kings 7:1-2; 18-19

1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the Word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

There is Somebody here tonight, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: The Words coming out tonight will not work against you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Maybe I was talking to my Neighbour.

Now I am talking to myself.

That the Special Word the Lord is bringing to us on the 3rd Day of His Special Visitation: That Word will work in my Favour, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Brethren, our Theme is: GLORY AHEAD.

WHAT IS GLORY?

• Very simply, according to Proverbs 3:35: Glory is the opposite of Shame.
• Glory is a state of Splendour.
• A state of Happiness.
• A state of Abundance.
• A state of Joy.

Of course the second (2nd) word is Ahead.

WHAT IS AHEAD?

• Ahead means: it is in the future.
• It is not far away.
• In fact, it can just be the very next Minute.

For somebody, ‘Ahead’ can be today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

So, talking about “GLORY AHEAD” this Evening as we Prepare the Ground for what God is about to do:

Glory Ahead means: An end to everything that causes Shame in your Life.

• It means an end to Sickness.
• An end to Failure.
• An end to Defeat.
• An end to Stagnation.
• An end to Bondage.
• An end to Sorrow.

Everything that has been causing you Shame, an end is coming, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

2. Glory Ahead simply means that somehow, your Future will be Better.

• It means for somebody, your Best is yet to come.
• It means for another Person, your Sun is about to Rise.

2. For somebody, the Present is not Good. But Glory Ahead means that it will not remain the same.

And if the Present is Good, things are going to get Better – Amen.

Tonight, as you Prepare for this Meeting and get ready; it could be that things are already Glorious in your Life.

By our Theme tonight, because the Bible says in the Book of 1 Corinthians 15:41 that there are Levels of Glory;

If things are already Glorious in your Life; you will be moving to a Higher Level of Glory in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

If you are the one God is speaking to, can your Amen be loud and clear? Amen!

Tonight, there is something Better Ahead – Amen.

Somebody hearing the Sound of my voice, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: Your tomorrow will be Glorious, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

So what’s the Summary of what God asked me to do as as start tonight?

It is to let us know that our Theme GLORY AHEAD:

• Is a Divine Announcement.
• Is a Divine Proclamation.
• Is a Prophetic Declaration for somebody.

God is speaking to Somebody as you start Year 2025, by the Prophetic Words embedded in this Theme: That there is Glory Ahead for you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

It is an Announcement by the One who is the Alpha and the Omega: The One who knows your future, and who owns your future.

Brethren, I want you to understand that tonight, God is starting Year 2025 for us with an Announcement by the One who is called the King of Glory.

In Psalm 24:10, He says: Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, he is the King of Glory.

Tonight, the Lord of Hosts has come to Declare to somebody who can believe that there is Glory Ahead – Amen!

Tonight, my job is really Simple – Because all I am going to do in the next few Minutes is just to make Declarations.

But as a Forerunner to the one who really is going to carry the Message – As Elisha brought to the People at that very tough time in the lives of the People.

The Bible Text we read in 2 Kings Chapter 7; Prior to that in 2 Kings Chapter 6, things were so hard that People were eating each other’s children.

There was even a woman who confronted the King, and said: King, things are too tough, Please help us. And the King said, Look! if God does not help you, where can I get help for you?

I Perceived that there is somebody under the sound of my voice, inclusive those reading now on the Label of:

• Someone hearing my voice in this Auditorium.
• Someone hearing my voice somewhere in Nigeria.
• Someone hearing my voice somewhere in the Nations of the World.
• Someone reading now on the Label of DMC.

The situation doesn’t look like it!

“Ha! There is hunger.” That’s what they were crying.

• You are in a state of Absolute Lack.
• You don’t believe that there is any Possibility that things can Change.

I came tonight with a Word, that there is Glory Ahead – Amen!

Listen to me tonight very quickly because there are few Examples I’ll just touch and we will Pray.

But if you agree with me; as I make the Declarations of Glory Ahead; you’ll shout it and say: GLORY AHEAD.

And there shall be a Performance, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

FIVE DECLARATIONS TONIGHT.

1. You are Hungry:

You Hungry, you are Helpless, you are Hopeless: There is Glory Ahead – Amen!

Abundance cometh for you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

… I take a second example;

2. You are being Pursued by the Enemies.

That was the situation in Exodus Chapter 14 – The Children of Israel were moving to the Place of Promise. But they were being Pursued by very Powerful Enemies.

On their sides, were Mighty mountains.

Infront was the Red Sea.

And it looks like there is no way forward.

I came here tonight, by the leading of the Holy Ghost, to make a Declaration concerning Somebody who is being Pursued by an Enemy – It seems there is no way forward. Death seems inevitable:

I declare to you: Glory Ahead – Amen!

I declare to you: Victory Ahead – Amen.

By the wake of the Morning, you will be Singing a New Song – Amen.

Like Miriam, there is a Woman here that will be dancing for Joy – Amen.

If you are that woman, let God hear that female voice here tonight shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

3. Barrenness:

In Genesis 18:14, there was a situation, where God visited a man and a woman who had been barren for at least twenty-five (25) years.

They have had twenty-five (25) years of failure; then God appeared and said: “Is anything “Too Hard” for the Lord? At the Time appointed, I will return unto thee, according to the Time of Life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

I declare to Somebody: Year 2025 is the Time appointed for you – Amen.

And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the Time of Life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him (DMC NOTES: Genesis 18:10).

And do you know, the Bible says in Genesis 21:6, And Sarah said, God hath made me to Laugh, so that all that hear will Laugh with me.

I really like that because it is a Word for Somebody here tonight, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC.

You may be Barren now, and all Hope is lost and you are an Object of Mockery: I declare tonight, Glory Ahead – Amen.

You will soon be Laughing – Amen .

I declare that Testimony is coming your way in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

4. Facing Battles:

Another Story I love very much is in 2 Chronicles Chapter 20 – It is good you read the whole Chapter.

But there is a Word in 2 Chronicles 20:17 – Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the Salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.

It says:

For somebody you are Shaking.

For somebody, you are Overwhelmed.

For somebody, you are in a battle by a Conspiracy of Forces that are Stronger than you;

• Maybe in your Business.
• Maybe in your Office.
• Maybe in your Church.

God says I should tell you: Fear not! Do not be dismayed. Tomorrow, go out against them; the Lord will be with you – Amen.

Glory Ahead, you will enter a New Season of Unimaginable Blessings – Amen.

You are returning with Celebration – Amen.

God will give you Rest on every side – Amen.

If it is a Word for you, can your Amen be the loudest now? (Amen)

5. Brethren, there was a young Lady (a Virgin), her name was Mary. The Word of God came to her, Glory Ahead:

“You are not even married, but you will give birth to the Saviour. And all over the world, they will call you Blessed” (DMC NOTES: Luke 1: 26-33).

Oh! It sounds impossible.

In Luke 1:37 the Angel said to her: “For with God Nothing shall be Impossible.”

… That’s a Word for Somebody!

Just as it happened with Mary; I declare, Glory Ahead – Amen.

I want to end here! But I couldn’t stop with the Examples.

The Lord brought to my heart that I should tell us that there is really one Ultimate Glory Ahead. And that is:

6. The Glory of Heaven:

There is somebody here, inclusive those reading now on the label of DMC: Whether the devil likes it or not, you will make it to Heaven – Amen.

• There is a Glory in Heaven for you.
• Your Glory will not end here on Earth.
• Your Glory will end in Heaven, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Let Somebody who is going to make it to Heaven, shout the loudest Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Brethren tonight, what is your Part?

1. Colossians 1:27 says, Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.

The only Hope of Glory is that you have Christ in you.

If you are here tonight, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; it is Good you have heard the Declarations and more that is coming.

But Foundationally, you need to Surrender to Jesus.

Don’t miss tonight.

2. If you’ve Surrendered to Jesus, 2 Chronicles 20:20(B) says, “Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his Prophets, so shall ye Prosper.”

Tonight is a Night to believe every Proclamation that will come from this Altar.

And you will have your Glory manifest, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

3. The Last Thing: This Glory Ahead is a Sure Banker to only one Group of People.

Isaiah 3:10, Say ye to the Righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Uncompromisingly Righteous – Refuse to Compromise with sin; and I can assure you that by the end of this Year (2025), you will remember today – Amen.

You will be returning tomorrow with your Testimony – Amen!

Can Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

Just one Simple Prayer we are going to Pray – if you would rise up on your feet (if you can) Please.

And it is the response that Mary gave when the Word came that there is Glory Ahead, and it didn’t look like it.

She said: “Be it unto me according to Your Word”.

That’s going to be our Prayer.

Together with the Choir we’ll just Sing:

SONG

Be it unto me according to Your Word
According to Your Promises
I can Stand secure;
Write upon my Heart
Your Truth that sets me free
According to Your Word O LORD
Be it unto me.

GENERAL PRAYERS

1. Lift up your two (2) hands and Say: Father; give me the Grace to believe You and to believe Your Prophets.
2. Be it unto me according to Your Word tonight, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Just Pray that Prayer – And God will make it happen for you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
