OPENING PRAYER

Father, we are saying, Good Morning to You this Great Morning.

Thank You for waking us up today.

Thank You that we can lift our hands, they are still lifting

Thank You that we can lift our voices to say Thank You, and it’s still working.

Thank You for Sleep, and Thank You for Strength.

Thank You for the University of Ibadan.

Thank You Almighty Father for our father-in-the-Lord, for our mother-in-the-Lord – Pastor and Pastor (Mrs) E.A Adeboye.

Thank You for the Leadership of this Great University (University of Ibadan).

Thank You for the Senior Pastors that are all here.

Thank You for the Volunteers.

Thank You for this Great Privilege.

Father, we ask Oh GOD, that this Morning we’ll ride on the wings of our father-in-the-Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

We connect to that same Anointing, to work for us here, in Jesus’ Name.

Father, wherever You find a loud enough ‘Amen’ answer that Person first, in Jesus’ Name.

Thank You Almighty!

In Jesus’ Precious Mighty Name we have Prayed! Amen and Amen.

Give Somebody a “high-five” and tell them: Good Morning, God will hear you first today, in Jesus’ Name.

Let’s take this Confession today while still standing:

Romans 10:10 says, For with the heart Man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth Confession is made unto Salvation.

• Touch your Head and say: My Head, you would achieve Greatness this Year. You would not lose anything Great this Year; You would work well this Year.
• Touch your Eyes and say: My Eyes, you would see the right things this Year. You would see the right Alerts this Year. You would not go dim or blind this Year.
• Pull your Ears and say: My Ears, you would hear Good News, and only Good News this Year.
• Touch your Mouth and say: My Mouth, you would speak the right things to the right People, at the right time this Year.
• Go ahead, touch your Legs and say: My Legs, you would not step on Landmines this Year; you would only step on Landmarks, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

If you believe, shout an Amen – Amen!

Give your Neighbour another “high-five” and tell them: Good Morning once again, I’ve received my first Miracle.

Celebrate God with a Clap Offering. And Please, be seated.

It’s a Privilege and honour to be here this Morning.

I’ve been asked by our Beloved father-in-the-Lord to go ahead of him and help do the Part 2 (Good News – Part 2) of his Message from Yesterday; While he comes and gives us the Blessing.

I am the least Qualified here – I have Senior, Senior, Super Senior Pastors on the Stage. Including those who employed me into RCCG.

So Please, Pray for me: it’s an Examination, as much as it is a Morning Devotion.

And of course, I Celebrate and honour the Leadership of this Great University (University of Ibadan).

Daddy G.O said that he has been coming here for forty three (43) years.

Guess who is also turning Forty three (43) this Year?

I’m not trying to say the Vice Chancellor (V.C) should give me an Honorary Degree in any way – I’m just saying that I too, I’ve been coming for forty three (43) years (laughter).

Thank you Pastor Kunle Ajayi, for that honour. And to everyone else in between.

Colossians 1:27 is our Guide Bible Text.

Our father-in-the-Lord read it to us yesterday, and we would read it again this Morning.

It says: To whom God would make known what is the Riches of the Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the Hope of Glory:

… Which is Christ in you, the Hope of Glory:

Shake Somebody beside you like you want to wake them up, and ask the Person: Who is living inside of you? Wait for the answer!

Deuteronomy 23:14 makes it clear to us that God is walking in the midst of His Camp.

And He is here to deliver you and I, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC, from our Enemies!

… Am I getting an Amen? (Amen).

Tell Somebody: God will deliver you from your Enemies today; He will deliver you now.

Which then means if I am Paraphrasing that: If Christ is living in you, you must live a Life that is Clean inside and out.

• As God is walking through our Camp.
• Walking through our daily lives
• Walking through our Businesses.
• Walking through this Great University (University of Ibadan).
• Walking through our Careers;

He must not see anything that is dirty.

We have to be extremely intentional about making sure that everything around us, and within us is Clean.

THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE INSIDE OF YOU.

Therefore, there must be certain things that should not be inside of you:

1. FEAR:

The first (1st) thing that you must not have inside of you, if Christ is dwelling in you is Fear.

Say to your Neighbour: Fear Not!

In Romans 8:15, the Bible says, For ye have not received the Spirit of Bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

God has not given us the Spirit of Fear (DMC NOTES: 2 Timothy 1:7).

He would not dwell in the same Place where there is fear – God would not accommodate fear.

So say to Him: Father, come inside of me today and drive away every form of fear.

Fear is a Tormentor – 1 John 4:18 says, There is no fear in Love; but Perfect Love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made Perfect in Love.

We know that God is not a Tormentor. And He would not stay in the same accommodation as fear.

So if we say that Christ is living in us, then we must fear not.

Tell Somebody, Fear Not!

There are Three Hundred and Sixty Five (365) “Fear Not” in the Bible – That is one (1) “Fear Not” for each day of the Year.

Because you have not mentioned it this Year, and today is 15th January 2025; That means you have fifteen (15) “Fear Not” that you have not even used. And you are meant to use it ever Single Day.

So, whatever the challenges might be; you can say to that Challenge, “I Fear You Not.”

In Proverbs 29:25, the Bible says, The fear of Man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his Trust in the LORD shall be Safe.

… Whosever put his Trust in the LORD shall be saved.

Say to Him now: Father, I really trust in You. So, any fear inside of me is driven out today. It is driven out now!

Therefore, if you Welcome Christ inside of you, then fear is not allowed into your Life – We learnt this a while back, and we are still learning it now:

Whatever you allow into your Mind, that is what you allow into your Life. And whatever you allow into your Life, then it Controls you.

Ask your Neighbour: What is Controlling you?

Tell them, Fear Not!

2. DOUBT:

The second (2nd) thing that you must not have inside of you, if Christ is dwelling in you is Doubt.

James 1:5-8 says, whatever you ask for, you must ask in Faith, not Wavering.

I Pastor a very small Parish in a corner in Lagos – Amuwo Odofin to be Precise.

And on one of the Sundays, we made a request: It’s a Youth Church, just a little over a thousand People every Sunday – We are not that much, we are not that big, we are still growing.

We asked the People, “Can you Sing the Anthem?” We did not Specify if it is the RCCG Anthem or the Church Family Song (Anthem).

A Sister came out, she sang the RCCG Anthem. Because we said “can you sing…?” And we didn’t specify. At the end, immediately we asked, “what would you like as a Gift?”

In the midst of her thinking very quickly because she only had sixty (60) Seconds; I was also Praying, “God don’t let her ask for anything that would scare me.

She ended up saying, “All I want is a Completion of my School fees.” And I too asked quickly, “Please, which School are you going to?”

Because School differs from School – it could have been a School in Canada, or a School in Okokomaiko (Lagos).

But to the Glory of God, it was a School fees that was inside our budget.

She said, “Since you are the one that said I should ask, I would definitely receive”.

The School fees was manageable.

• She could have asked for a Laptop and School Fees.
• She could have asked for Accommodation, Plus a Laptop and School Fees.

… God would have helped us meet the Request.

Ask your Neighbour: What are you going to ask for this Morning?

Are you ready to ask without any form of doubt?

Mark 11:22-23, And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have Faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this Mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

… That Mountain would move – Amen!

Shake somebody and tell them: We are moving Mountains this Year.

Say: Wake up, we are moving Mountains this Year!

3. BITTERNESS:

Another thing that must not be inside you anytime we have Christ in us (This is Part of the Good News) is Bitterness.

Hebrews 12:15 Paraphrasing, it says that if you have Bitterness in you, especially Unforgiving Spirit, then you are defiled.

Infact, you would be defiled if you continue to harbour Bitterness inside of you.

I Personally believe the reason why certain People have not received that which they asked for is because they are still harbouring Unforgiveness inside of them; harbouring Bitterness towards someone.

Tell your Neighbour: Let it go this morning.

Say: Receive Grace to forgive.

Receive Grace to be the one that would be forgiven.

Because, there is one that has caused the offense and there is another one that is obviously being offended.

The reason why God has not given certain People what they asked for; for Example, if somebody is asking for Fruit of the Womb is because He does not want to put a child into that tommy that is bitter.

When someone is asking for Promotion in terms of Finances, or in any other way: because He knows “once I give you that Money, you would use it to revenge.”

But because God is here with us this Morning, and right where you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC; And I have brought you Good News.

Now your Mind is open, your eyes are open, your ears are open; you would forgive whoever is holding you back today – Amen!

… Your Amen sounds unforgiving.

Say to Heaven: I receive Grace to forgive. And I receive Grace to be forgiven, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

4. PRIDE:

The fourth (4th) thing that must not be seen inside you and I is Pride.

Because the Bible makes it clear, it says, God resist the Proud.

God would not dwell in the same Place with what He’s resisting; or whom He is resisting.

In 1 Peter 5:5, the Bible says, Likewise, ye Younger, submit yourselves unto the Elder. Yea, all of you be Subject one to another, and be clothed with Humility: for God resisteth the Proud, and giveth Grace to the Humble.

Touch your head one more time free of charge and say: I receive Grace to be Humble.

Touch your heart and say: My heart, receive Grace to be Humble.

One of the things that Pride does is that it removes from you the ability to go further.

• You would not be able to learn anything;
• You would not be able to have an Understanding of what is going on around you.

In my little experience as a Youth Pastor, I’ve had this ability by God’s Grace and Mercy to humble myself; to learn from all those who are Younger than me.

There is always something to learn because Nobody ever knows it all.

As a matter of fact, even though the Bible says there is nothing New under the Sun; there is always an Upgrade and an Update.

If I ask you now, “What is the latest Phone that you would like?” I can already see some People raising their hands, saying, “I want I-phone 16 Pro.” Because there is an upgrade. And I know this Year (2025) 17 Pro would also come.

For us the Big Samsung Fans, we already know that Samsung 25 is around. We have not even finished using 23 and 24.

There is always an Upgrade and there is always something New to learn.

Those who refuse to have the ability to be Humble would not learn and then they would not be Upgraded.

As a matter of fact, they would remain stale; because Information would only Improve you and Increase you.

But if you block yourself out and believe, “What can this Person teach me?” Then you would miss a lot.

By God’s Grace I have in total Nine (9) children – And don’t ask me how? My wife did not give birth to all of them Please, don’t be worried!

And on one of our Bedtime Stories, as I was sharing with them the Story of where Jesus was in the boat of Peter; one of my children asked a very Simple Question: “If this same Jesus walked on water, why didn’t He start His first Sermon walking on water?”

Another of child replied:

“The Purpose of the Messenger is not to distract you from the Message.”

He continued: If Jesus had walked on water, everybody would not focus on what He’s saying because this is the first time they are seeing a Human Being walking on water. They would have been wondering: “What kind of shoes is He wearing, that is allowing Him to walk on water?”

And I took that in. I mean, that’s why I’m even sharing it with you here today – I took that in!

You can learn from absolutely anybody – I was the one telling the Bedtime Stories. And I became the one they told a Bedtime Story.

Because, if you are open, you would be able to receive.

Ask your Neighbour: Are you ready to receive from God?

Will you be humble enough from now on?

Receive Grace to resist Pride and be free, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

5. IMPURE THOUGHTS:

If you have Impure Thoughts inside of you, God would not dwell there, or dwell around you.

In Psalms 19:14, the Bible lets us know that the words of our mouth and the Meditation of our Heart must be acceptable in the sight of God, non-stop.

Whatever you Meditate on must be acceptable to God, because:

• He sees Straight through you;
• He sees through your Heart and Mind.
• He knows what exactly you are thinking towards everyone around you.

It is very interesting that certain People would smile in front of you; but are part of those who are Plotting behind.

It is very interesting that it is not everyone that says something to you actually truly mean it.

And you that has Christ inside of you; that must not be your way.

There are certain People that would always come around and say, “I was in this Place and they said so, so and so about you.”

And I’m always wondering, “When you were there, what did you say when they were saying those things?”

• How do you respond when certain things are being said about someone?
• Do you Stand in a space where things that are not right are being said?

In Psalms 1:1-3, the Bible makes it clear. It says that anyone who is going to be blessed by God has to be:

• Someone who Meditates on His Word Day and Night.
• Someone that would not be found in Places where individuals are saying anything Negative;
• Or gathering together to Plan anything Negative.

Proverbs 23:7 says that your thoughts would determine who you are.

• What are you thinking about?
• When you are saying it, what are you thinking?
• Are you around those who are saying Negative things?

Because God is judging absolutely everybody.

If you are connected to People, or thinking impure thoughts, or listening to impure music or watching impure things; He would not be there – Which means that you would not be acceptable in His sight.

And today, Part of the Good News is that, Christ would dwell in you and I – Amen.

Now, we are going to do a quick Recap, and then we’ll Pray. Because I believe that once we hear the Word of God, the best thing to do next is to Pray.

If you hear His Word – Which we have come this early to hear; we have also sought Him early.

Now we are here to find Him.

1. First, when there is fear inside of you, that fear would not align with God’s Presence.

If Christ is already in you, then you are not allowed to harbour fear.

2. Secondly, we said that when Christ is inside of you, you are not allowed to have any form of Doubt.

I don’t know what you are going to ask for this Morning; in our Local Assembly, we made everybody write down:

• Twelve (12) things that they want to achieve this Year: that they want God to do for them this Year.
• And then Twelve (12) things that they want to do for the People of God this Year.

And it is very interesting that the List of Twelve (12) things that they want God to do for them is huge – Some even went above twelve (12).

But when it got to Twelve (12) things that they want to do for the People of God; some even Struggled just to get to No. 6.

Which means that right now, the things that you want without any doubt, are more.

3. And then Bitterness cannot be found in you.
4. You are not allowed to be Proud, because God resists the Proud.
5. Impure thoughts, and even hanging around those who are sharing things that are not Pure.

And of course, at the same time, not exposing yourself to anything that is impure.

Please jump on your feet (if you can) let us Pray.

The way we are going to Pray this Morning would be slightly different.

Find someone that is willing to Pray with you, squeeze their hands and ask them: Are you ready to Pray with me?

PRAYER POINTS.

1. First, Thank God for that Person whose hands you are holding.

Say: Father, I am Grateful for this my Neighbour. I am Grateful they have seen 2025, I know they will see all the way to the end.

These hands that I am holding would not go cold.

… That’s the beginning of the Prayers.

2. Switch, go ahead and Pray with the Person you are holding.

Say: Father, I ask that Fear is cast out of this individual’s Life. Whatever they might be afraid of: Fear of Lack, fear of Failure;

Father, I receive Grace to be free from fear and I receive that Grace for my Neighbour.

3. Say: Father, I receive Grace to no longer doubt; but to have Faith for Glory and Victory.

Thank You Almighty Father. In Jesus’ Precious Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Say Thank to that Person; switch and find somebody else.

4. Go ahead Pray with that Person, say: I Command right now, every Unforgiving Spirit come out, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

No more Bitterness in this individual: whatever might have been done in the Past, give them Grace right now to forgive and Grace to also receive Forgiveness.

5. Say: Father, whatever Spirit of Pride might be in this individual, release them now in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

They receive Grace to be Humble; they receive Grace to be Elevated now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Thank You Almighty Father. In Jesus’ Precious Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

… Say thank you to that fellow.

Now, put your hands on your head, because this one is for you alone directly;

6. Say: Father, any Impure thought, any Impure Communication, goes away from me now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Say: In my Life I receive Purity. The thoughts of Suicide, Failure, thoughts of not being Capable, all of it is gone now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Because Christ is in me, His Glory will Shine in my Life and Mind. From now on Oh LORD, I receive Grace for Clarity, for Advancement, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Anything that is impure is far away from me.

The thoughts that are impure, the Visions that are impure, the acts that are impure, I receive Freedom from every form of Bondage that is holding me down.

Thank You Almighty Father. In Jesus’ Precious Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

In case there is someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you know you don’t have a Relationship with God. I would like to invite you very quickly.

It’s as Simple as ABC;

• All you would do is to Accept Him.
• And the next thing is to say that you Believe in Him.
• And then you’ll Confess with your mouth.

Our father-in-the-Lord would be Blessing us this Morning.

But from my Experience in the Past, most People always limit themselves when it is time to ask God for something.

This Morning, do not ask for a loaf of bread – Instead ask for the whole Bakery.

Don’t ask for urgent two thousand Naira, rather ask for Financial Freedom.

Ask for the whole Bank; so that the Bank can open a Branch very close; since you’ll now be frequenting the Bank, and the Bank needs you.

Ask the Holy Spirit to open your Mind, so that you will know that exact thing which you need this Year.

While the rest of us are Praying that Prayer gently, whereever you are and you want to Genuinely Surrender your life to Jesus Christ;

You know that everything we have asked this Morning, you are doing on borrowed tongues; kindly come forward very quickly so that we can Pray together.

Because I do not want any of the Prayers we have Prayed this Morning, to go over your head.

If you know you have certain things that have put others in Bondage; and you need Total Freedom – Please, come out very quickly.

… God Bless You as you come!

The rest of us, I hope that you are already Praying that Prayer on that which we want God to give to us.

This is your Personal Decision today – I cannot guarantee you when next our father-in-the-Lord would be coming back into this Campus. But today marks the Forty third (43rd) Anniversary Celebration to you.

The rest of us, in Agreement say: Father, when Your Son (Pastor E.A Adeboye) comes to give us a Final Blessing:

• Do not let me reduce myself to anything small.
• Don’t let me ask out of Fear.
• Do not let me ask out of Doubt.
• Do not let me ask out of Pride.
• Do not let me ask anything that will Limit me.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

All of you that are ready to really Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, Say with me:

Father, I Accept You into my Life!

And I Believe that through Your Blood You would Cleanse me of all Unrighteousness.

I told you it’s as simple as ABC – The ‘C’ is for Confession.

Say my Lord; I ask that You would write my name in the Book of Life.

I Confess You as my Lord and Saviour.

And I say at the same time, Your Son is the One who died for my sins, and He rose up again.

And I Confess with my mouth that I receive Total Freedom from anything that has been holding me back.

Because You are my Lord and You are my Saviour, Please write my name with a Permanent Marker – Which is the Your Blood.

If it has been written in Pencil, Please let it be written Permanently now.

And I’ve come forward to Re-dedicate my Life to You.

Please, mark it down, on this Forty third (43rd) Anniversary of our father-in-the-Lord coming to this Great University (University of Ibadan).

LORD Please, let this be marked towards me.

And the rest of us, go ahead and ask God for something Big – Say: Father; I am meant to be the one that would be Honoured, Promoted and receive Increase.

Because I have God, this is my Landmark Year and every day can equal to a Landmark Testimony, a Landmark Miracle, a Landmark Increase. And this can be my Year of Greatness.

This Year I will not step on Landmines; rather I’ll step on Landmarks.

I ask for Grace for Discernment of Spirits, to be able to know the difference between Landmark Opportunity and that which is a Landmine.

Father, Please help me – Give me the Grace of Discernment in making Right Choices, Right Decisions and speaking to the Right People.

I refuse to take selfie with the People I am supposed to ask help from.

Even the ones I have lost in the Past, this Year I receive a Landmark Restoration so that anything I have Lost in the Past, I gain back.

Thank You Almighty Father.

In Jesus’ Precious Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
