DMC NOTES: You can Read the Full Text of that Message on this Link:
And we Thank You Lord, for making us to be Progressive in the things of the Lord.
And so this Year (2025), we Thank You for giving us the Theme, “Women of Lively Hope” – What a Message! We are so Grateful.
In times like this, all over the world, when People have lost Hope; when People are Changing from one degree of evil to another.
You have remained Steadfast with us – You have been our Hope, and we Thank You for Your Word that is rooted and Grounded in us so much.
And you, our God has been Constant – You’ve kept us unmovable.
We are so Grateful.
As your women gather again this Year, including those reading now on the Label of DMC:
Do Greater Works in our midst, raise our Hope and make us know that our Hopes are lively – They are not dead because You, the Lord of the Church is Alive.
So Father, we give you Praise!
Please, Heal us as we move on in this Message, encourage us, and Strengthen us.
Give us Hope of Eternity – Let it be raised more than ever before.
At the end of the Message, Jehovah, let our Minds be at Peace, expecting Greater Inheritance that You have Prepared for us.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Brethren, you are Welcome to this Year’s Women in Ministry Conference:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.
I want you to greet one another, as our Theme says: “Women of Lively Hope.”
I want you to greet your Neighbour on your right and on your left and say: Welcome to Lively Hope Meeting.
I really, really want to say Thank You to all our Leaders in all the Nations; in all our Countries, States, Regions, Provinces, Zones, Areas and even the Local Parishes.
All the Women that have been leading, sacrificing time for Prayer Meetings, Teachings, Organizing Seminars and Conferences for the women.
The LORD who has kept you thus far will continue to keep you till the end. And You will not fail in your Assignments.
He will keep defending you. And when the time for Rewards come, you will not be missing, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
I want to really say Thank You to those of you who have been lifting up our hands, so that whatever we do in Nigeria goes round the whole world:
Women are being blessed, and are being kept by the Power of the Word of God.
I want to say Thank You to all our husbands also, for giving us the Support that has been helping us move on.
I Pray that God Himself will support them also, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
The Bible Text for the Conference this Year (2025) is in the Book of 1 Peter 1:3-5:
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Brethren, this is the Message of God for us this Year.
As Daughters of Zion, we have a Blessed Hope, which God Himself has Prepared for us. And He is bringing us to the reality of it, by reminding us that we are Women of Lively Hope.
If we are Women of Lively Hope, then we should be alive.
If you have Lively Hope you must be alive, so as to enjoy the Hope.
For the Bible says in Colossians 1:27, Christ in you the Hope of Glory.
There are many things in this Bible Text (1 Peter 1:3-5);
We have an Inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in Heaven for us.
So, we have this Lively Hope, and this gives us a Great Expectation of Priceless Inheritance that cannot be sold.
People can sell what they inherited from their Parents;
But this Lively Inheritance is Permanently in the Heavenly for us. And it is incorruptible, undefiled and beyond the reach of any Change.
Nobody can Change it
Our Hope shall be revived in this Conference; and I Pray that forever, we shall remain revived and enjoy the Revival.
There is a Song that says:
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He owns the future
My Life is worth a Living Just
Because He lives.
This implies that we Daughters of Lively Hope need to know that our Jesus is Alive.
HOW DOES LIVELY HOPE MANIFEST?
- SALVATION:
We need Genuine Salvation, because this is where we are joined with the Lord Jesus Christ; and become Heirs of the Kingdom.
The Bible says in Revelation 3:11, Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no Man take thy Crown.
Not only Crown, we have lots of Goodies waiting for us. And Nobody can Change it.
Are you still fervent in your Salvation?
All over the Nations of the world, we all are going through situations that can shake our Lively Hope in Christ.
But the Word of God is Settled – “Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.” (DMC NOTES: Colossians 1:27).
So, your Salvation must be Genuine.
And you must not because of Problems turn away from Jesus Christ.
I Pray that God Himself will Uphold all of us, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
Romans 8:36-39 says, Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? shall Tribulation, or distress, or Persecution, or Famine, or Nakedness, or Peril, or Sword?
Who shall separate you from the Love of Christ?
Remember, there is a beginning to every Problem; and there will also be an end to it.
I have always told those who come to me for Counselling – “You were not born with this Problem, very soon there will be an end to it.”
And if it does not leave you when you are alive, it will surely leave you when you have gone to inherit that which God has Prepared for you. Because you are now a Victor – Either by Rapture or by Death.
So, whether the Problem likes it or not, it will never reach you again – Hallelujah!
Our Salvation must be Genuine – We must know who we believe.
The Bible tells us that the Just shall live by Faith.
I rejoice with all of us, because all Hopes that are shaking today, the devil has been put to Shame – Amen.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of Peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
He will see you till the end.
Rejoice Brethren, our Inheritance of Lively Hope is worth rejoicing for – And God will make our Rejoicing lasts forever – Amen.
… How does Lively Hope cone?
- THE WORD:
We need the Word – The Word of God is so Powerful .
The Bible says in Hebrews 4:12 – For the Word of God is Quick, and Powerful, and Sharper than any twoedged Sword, Piercing even to the Dividing Assunder of Soul and Spirit, and of the Joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the Heart.
When Jesus had Fasted for forty (40) Days and forty)40) Nights, the devil still tempted Him.
But in Matthew 4:4, He destroyed the Plan of the devil with the Word – “It is written…”
Women of Lively Hope, instead of listening to News that will break your Heart, and Internet Posts, read the Word – It is Powerful.
Psalm 119:195 says, Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my Path.
When you want to make Decisions and you are at Crossroads; not knowing what to do.
When you are conversant with the Word of God, the answer will come immediately.
The devil tried the Lord Jesus Christ with food. But He countered the devil with the Word: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (DMC NOTES: Matthew 4:4).
I had a Great Experience sometime ago – We were having issues with a Pastor who left a Parish that was doing very well; and with Members of the Church. Because of the step he took, we were devastated.
One of the days, as I was Praying, the devil said: “You said you wanted to expand the Church, so you started the Youth Church. See the Elders of the Church, they are feeling like a they are no longer relevant – That is why you started the Youth Church. Now look at your Life, the one you put in Charge of the Youth Church has carried the Youths away.”
As I was Concluding in my Heart that I will not open the door to anybody to come and make any more report; I caught the Word – A very amazing Word. That is why you must be conversant with the Word.
I can never forget the Bible Passage He gave me back then – 2 Corinthians 4:8, and immediately, I was encouraged: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are Perplexed, but not in despair;”
And 1 John 4:4 says, Ye are of God, Little Children, and have Overcome them: because Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I don’t know what is living in you; but in this Meeting, whatever is in you that you think is Greater than Christ, this is the time to begin to depart from them. Because two Masters cannot be in a boat at once. Else the boat would capsized.
What is ruling your Life now? Is it money, house, or you don’t have a child yet?
Allow Jesus to carry you.
God helped me to Minister to some People, and I made them to know that the Bible says, immediately we depart this Life, A Book will be opened. And anyone whose name is not in the Book of Life shall be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
It didn’t say whosoever does not have five (5) Children, houses, cars, Lands, etc. No! Only those whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
Is your name in the Book of Life. Brethren, we have a Lively Hope.
Tell your Neighbour for me once again: we have a Lively Hope!
When we know that our Salvation is Genuine, and that we are rooted and Grounded in the Word of God: What is is that we need to do?
Because God now expects us to do some things, so that this Lively Hope can greatly manifest, beginning right from here on Earth.
THINGS GOD EXPECT FROM US
- Faith for your Healing:
God expects us to have Faith for our Healing.
Nobody can say he or she has never been sick before.
Some of us, before we became Born Again, we had Sicknesses that took us to Hospitals.
We had Problems which we carried with us all over; and spent all we had. And when we finally Surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ, all the Problems were Solved.
What is God expecting from you?
He expects us to have Faith in Him, to Heal us.
Hebrews 13:8 says, Jesus Christ the same Yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
We (The Adeboyes) came to Jesus Christ because we had Problems.
And when we came, He solved the Problems.
The Woman with the Issue of Blood in Matthew 9:26, the Bible said that for twelve (12) years she suffered, visiting so many Physicians. She became poor because of the Problem. But the moment she had the opportunity to touch the helm of the Garment of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Fountain of blood dried up!
What is troubling you now? In this Lively Hope, God expects us to rely on Him for our Healings.
Therefore, whatever Sickness you bought into this Meeting today, or is in you as you are reading now this Message now on the Label of DMC; in the Mighty Name of Jesus, I Pray that God Himself will intervene in your affairs; and you will receive your Healing before you go – Amen.
- What about Victory?
Nobody wants to be defeated – Either in Business, Academics, Career or even as a Family man or a woman into Entrepreneurship.
Whatever you may be doing, you don’t want to be defeated.
God wants Victory for us, that is why in 1 John 4:4 the Bible says, Ye are of God, Little Children, and have Overcome them.
Unless you are not a ‘Child’ of God – Maybe you are an adult.
But I believe you will see yourself as a Child of God – Because Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
God has Prepared our Victory even before we were born.
Who do you rely on for your Victory?
Your Parents cannot save you. They can’t give you Victory over anything.
If they try at all, it would be Temporal and will come to an end.
If only you’ll rely on God for Victory, you will be a Victor forever.
That Period we had Problems with somebody who left the Church and took away the Members – A Church of over a thousand Members was left with less than thirty (30) Members.
At the end of the day, that Particular Parish is now a Region with Provinces, not only in Nigeria, but with branches across the Boarder – That is what God can do.
If anyone says he will wreck or bring you down; and you believe in Jesus, having that Lively Hope; your Victory is sure, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- Faith for your Success:
You must have Faith for your Success.
Peter, immediately he became a Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ; the Lord Himself gave him a name – “Peter the Rock.”
At a time Jesus knew, this Man will soon fall; He said, let me Pray for you.
And He Prayed for him and very soon, Peter denied Jesus Christ three (3) times before the cock crow.
You would have thought that was the end of Peter. No!
At the end, the Lord Jesus said: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church; and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it (DMC NOTES: Matthew 16:18).
What Stage are you in Life now?
Do you think you are a Failure?
You are not a Failure because you have this Lively Hope.
Just hold on to your Salvation – This is very essential.
Once you hold on to your Salvation, and you are looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your Faith, you will be Successful (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 12:2).
You will be Successful, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
Philippians 4:13 says, I can do all things through Christ which Strengtheneth me.
If you rely on the Strength of God, there is no Limit to what you can achieve in Life.
Look at Deborah, she is a Good Example – By the time Israel was in trouble, the Bible tells us that Deborah; a woman like myself, rose up.
Judges 4:9 says, And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the Journey that thou takest shall not be for thine Honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
The man who was supposed to be the Captain of the Army could not do it. But Deborah (a woman) did it.
Hold on to God in whatever you do from now on.
If you have been failing before, you will never fail again, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
… This is my assurance for you!
Deborah arose and led the war.
Finally, Sisera was captured; the People of Israel became Victors.
And she judged Israel for forty (40) years – A woman.
I don’t know what you want to do right now; but I can see you coming up again, and your Hope is rising again – Amen.
Where People thought you would never reach in Life; you will exceed their Expectations, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- Faith for your Fruitfulness:
As Women of Lively Hope, God expects us to have Faith for our Fruitfulness.
Nobody is born to be barren.
His Word says in Genesis: 1:28, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be Fruitful, and Multiply, and Replenish the Earth, and Subdue it: and have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every Living Thing that moveth upon the Earth.
And the Word of God is Settled forever.
Our Fruitfulness – Not only in Childbearing, but every aspect of Life is sure with Him.
Abraham was given this Hope, and in Genesis 22, it came to pass.
He reminded God in Genesis 18; thinking that God had forgotten. But the Almighty God does not forget. He does His things according to Time and Purpose.
There is always a Time for everything in Life.
After God gave Abraham the Promised Child, He told him to go and Sacrifice the Child.
At the end, because God had a Greater Plan for Abraham, his Hope was not shattered.
If you are Passing through Trials today, you will be Fruitful, and you will never be barren, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- There is Hope for our Riches:
Don’t join Yahoo Yahoo and Money Rituals, please.
The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 8:9 that, For ye know the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes he became Poor, that ye through his Poverty might be rich.
You cannot be poor forever – Our God is a Rich God.
The Bible says in Psalm 24:1, The Earth is the LORD’s, and the Fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
And the Bible also says that our God has the cattle upon a thousand hills; He has all the Gold, He has all the Silver (DMC NOTES: Psalm 50:10 and Haggai 2:8).
There is Hope for you; because He raises the poor from the dunghill to sit with Princes – This is our Hope! (DMC NOTES: 1 Samuel 2:8).
From today onward, whatever you lay your hands to do shall Prosper, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
You will never work for another to eat.
Whatever you lay your hands to do, you will eat in Plenty and be satisfied. You will eat the Good of the Land, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
In Genesis 26, Isaac was supposed to leave Gerar, but God said, you must not go anywhere. This is where you are going to be rich.
As many of us who are still where God has put us, this is our time to be Rich – Amen.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the LORD with all thine Heart; and lean not unto thine own Understanding. In all thy ways Acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy Paths.
There were lots of discouragements to Isaac – The wells his father dug, the Philistines closed them up. As they closed one well, he dug another one.
He was the first man who showed us how to do irrigation in farming. And yet Isaac Prospered!
The Bible tells us that he became Great – And the man waxed Great, and went forward, and grew until he became very Great: For he had Possession of flocks, and Possession of herds, and great Store of Servants: and the Philistines envied him (DMC NOTES: Genesis 26:14-14).
In Psalm 2:8, the Bible says, Ask of me, and I shall give thee the Heathen for thine Inheritance, and the Uttermost Parts of the Earth for thy Possession.
So don’t lose any of His Promises, hold onto them, because His Promises are Yea and Amen!
- Hope for our Righteousness:
God expects us to have Hope for our Righteousness.
Righteousness is very important to God, because only the Righteous will ascend to the Hill of the Lord.
“Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy Holy Hill? He that walketh Uprightly, and worketh Righteousness, and speaketh the Truth in his Heart.” (DMC NOTES: Psalm 15:1-2).
Only the Righteous will reach where we have the Inheritance God Promised us.
How do we get there?
By walking Righteously in this world.
The Problem Believers are facing today is due to Unrighteousness.
If we take time to walk in the way of the Lord, He will Prosper our ways.
Psalm 1:1-3 says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the Counsel of the Ungodly, nor Standeth in the way of Sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Law of the LORD; and in his Law doth he Meditate Day and Night. And he shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his Season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall Prosper.
I Pray God Himself, whom we serve, will help us – Amen.
Trials will surely come, but you are the one to decide – “whatever happens, nothing will stop me from the Love of Christ (DMC NOTES: Romans 8:35).”
Most especially, those of us who are Ministers, atimes the Parishioners will suggest things to us: “If you so this, you will get this and that. “
You are the one who would remain steadfast, unmovable – According to 1 Corinthians 15:58 which says: Therefore, my Beloved Brethren, be ye Steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your Labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Are you easily moved by Unrighteous wealth – In things that do not belong to you?
Some People delight in taking another Person’s Property.
Make sure nothing moves you in this world, because we have an Inheritance that cannot be Changed.
“… forasmuch as ye know that your Labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
Do not let the Present situation in our Nations turn us back from the track of Righteousness – Nothing can sustain us like the Power of God.
Don’t let Problems cause us to sin.
If there is any sin in our lives today, God Himself will help us – Amen.
As He is Preparing us as Brides ready for His Second Coming; we shall not fall by the wayside, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
We are reminding ourselves of all these, so that we will know all the areas where God expect us to remain calm and stand with Jesus till the end.
- Faith for our Joy:
God expects us to have Faith for our Joy.
What brings Joy to some People is what they see in this world.
But that is not what God wants for our Joy.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 30:5, weeping may endure for a Night, but Joy cometh in the Morning.
Why don’t we wait for the Joy that is coming in the morning? Therefore, let us hold onto our Faith, hold onto God.
Psalm 126:5 says, They that sow in tears shall reap in Joy.
Joy is already knocking on your door; and you will receive Joy, in Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen.
- Faith in our Peace:
God wants us to have Faith in our Peace.
Peace is very essential.
So many People are falling sick today because of lack of Peace.
Let God have His way in your family affairs – No situation is Permanent.
Do you want to have Peace?
In Isaiah 9:6 the Bible says, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the Government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Philippians 4:7 says, And the Peace of God, which passeth all Understanding, shall keep your Hearts and Minds through Christ Jesus.
What kind of Peace do you want?
If Money gives you Peace, Money will fly away, because it has wings.
Let not your Heart be troubled henceforth, rely on God.
No matter the anxiety, if God would not do it, Nobody can do it for you.
If anybody does it for you, it will be temporal. But if it comes from God, it will last forever.
- Faith for our Achievements:
God expects us to have Faith for our Achievements.
For by Strength shall no man Prevail (DMC NOTES: 1 Samuel 2:9).
Struggling on your own cannot give you the Achievement you desire.
That is why the Bible says you should commit your ways to the Lord (DMC NOTES: Psalm 37:5).
Whatever you are trusting God for, let Him have His way.
The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 6:41, Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting Place, thou, and the ark of thy Strength: let thy Priests, O LORD God, be clothed with Salvation, and let thy Saints rejoice in Goodness.
Solomon was Praying for God to be with him and to do that which no man has ever done before.
And in 2 Chronicles 6:42, He went further to say: O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the Mercies of David thy Servant.
Prayer is the Key!
If you want to achieve anything, remind God of what He has done before – “If He has done it before, He can do it again.”
- Have Faith in His Word:
I have mentioned this earlier – God expects us to have Faith in His Word – We must be delighted in His Word.
Psalm 1:2 says, But his delight is in the Law of the LORD; and in his Law doth he Meditate Day and Night.
WHAT DO PEOPLE EXPECT FROM US?
This is the trial of our Faith – They see us carrying our Bibles, going for Vigils, Congresses and Conventions and calling on the Name of Jesus everywhere we go.
What is it they expect from us?
- They expect our Fruits to Abide:
They may treat us bad because of our Beliefs; but at the same time, we must Prove to them that we have Someone we are looking up to.
And that we have a Lively Hope greater than theirs.
They expect us to abide by what we are doing, and by what we are Teaching.
- The Fruits of the Spirit:
In Galatians 5:22-23 the Bible says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: against such there is no Law.”
That’s what the world expect from us! They want us to be Super People.
… And we shall be, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
They will step on our toes, abuse us, use whatever they can to make us angry.
Because we are children of God, we are not going to fight; we are not going to use abusive Language – This is were our fruits must begin to abide.
God expects us to have the Fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance.
You must have all these Fruits, even in trying times; singing Psalms and having Longsuffering.
Do not settle for anything that will give you Problems while looking for the Solutions.
We all have Stories to tell.
It’s only that we don’t have enough time; I would have given you some Stories today, from the Word of God.
But if you don’t suffer long, how are you going to enjoy when the Problems are over?
If you die in the Problem, somebody else will enjoy what you have laboured for.
That is why the Bible says that we must wait.
And God will give us the Grace to wait on Him and do His Will – So that our Fruits as Women of Lively Hope can abide, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
At home, you should be a Woman of Peace – You must endure with your Neighbours, with your husband and children.
Wherever we go, we must let Peace reign.
Just one man by name Philip, went to a City and the whole City had Great Joy.
DMC NOTE: Acts 8:6-8, And the People with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the Miracles which he did. For Unclean Spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were Possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was Great Joy in that City.
This will be your Portion, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- People expect us to be Diligent at Work:
Don’t be lazy or bad examples.
Don’t say because others come late, you too would come late.
Where is it written?
We are not of the world – We have to be diligent at work.
Because the hand of the diligent shall bear rule (DMC NOTES: Proverbs 12:24).
When Nebuchadnezzar was looking for People to join his Cabinet, he was searching for the best. He could only get it from those who were called Captives; People who were ridiculed. It was out of them that he found People with Excellent Spirit.
He chose Daniel and the other three (3) Hebrew Boys – Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego to be Members of his Cabinet.
God is looking for an Excellent Woman (Man) of Lively Hope, who is diligent – So don’t compare yourself with the lazy ones.
The Bible says we should learn from the Ants.
Proverbs 6:6-8 say: Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the Summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
WHAT DOES THE CHURCH EXPECT FROM YOU?
You are not of your own; God created you to be a Vessel unto Him (DMC NOTES: 2 Timothy 2:20-22).
- The Church expects us to Strengthen other Believers:
In Ephesians 3:16-21, the Bible says, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his Glory, to be Strengthened with Might by his Spirit in the Inner Man;
- The Church expects us to have Faith that would enable others live as True Christians:
When we (the Adeboyes) became Born Again and a Prophecy came that we were going to have another child, I refused. I said, no way!
I had a Prayer Partner whom God used for my Life – When I shared with her she told me: What will you do when God says you would have another child?
“You say you have already had three (3) Cesarean Sections, and you are not ready to have another child when God has already spoken?”
She said, let us Pray: If God has said it, He will do it.
This is what we should be doing in the Church of God – Be an Encourager. Do not destroy the Faith of others, rather encourage and leave them in the Hand of God:
- He is the One who brought them.
- He knows why He brought them.
- And He is the One who knows what He will do concerning their lives.
I Pray that in all our Churches, God will make us to be Encouragers – Amen.
- We should be Miracle Workers:
Miracles are not meant for Pastors alone or for General Overseers – It is for all of us.
Acts 1:8 says, But ye shall receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth.
And in Mark 16:17, the Bible says, And these Signs shall follow them that believe; In my Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with New Tongues;
I rejoice anytime I read this Scripture; that there is a Sign following me as a Believer – In His Name I shall cast out devils; and speak with New Tongues. I shall Perform Signs and Wonders in His Name.
I receive that for all the Women (and Men) under the sound of my voice inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC today, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
More than ever before, we shall go out in Boldness and we shall Perform Signs; we shall Perform Wonders, in Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen.
- The Church expects us to be Examples to Believers:
1 Timothy 4:12 says, Let no man despise thy Youth; but be thou an Example of the Believers, in word, in conversation, in Charity, in Spirit, in Faith, in Purity.
What can others Study in your Life?
- Is it your Prayer Life?
- Is it your Study Life?
- Is it how you lead in Sunday School?
- Is it our your keep the Sanctuary Clean?
What is it you are doing that others can emulate from?
In Matthew 25:25, the Bible says, For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a Stranger, and ye took me in:
We started something we call, “God’s Provision Program” at the Headquarters in Nigeria. And we are still doing it – We take care of the Brides of Jesus (Widows). Because when you Provide for the Brides of Jesus, you give Hope to them.
I am telling you, very soon they too would be giving Hope to others.
And that is what we should do for the Church of God.
As Lively Hope Women, I Pray that our Hope is revived today, and it will not die, in Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen.
We shall move from one degree of Glory to another, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
All we have been saying is that, no matter what we are experiencing in Life, we should not let them bother us because it is for a short while.
Women of Lively Hope, Christ in you is the Hope of Glory (DMC NOTES: Colossians 1:27).
We should not derail because this Life is only for a short Period of time – It is not going to last forever.
Isaiah 40:31 says, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Strength; they shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
The Just shall live by Faith – You cannot push Jesus aside and expect to have your desires in Life.
It is not Possible!
Philippians 4:13 says, I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me.
I Pray for you today: You shall receive Strength and Grace, in Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen.
Everything we need to be True Women of Lively Hope shall be our Portion today, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
One thing I want to warn you about is in Proverbs 10:28 – The Hope of the Righteous shall be Gladness: but the Expectation of the Wicked shall Perish.
Who is the “Wicked?”
Those who don’t do the Will of God – The sinners.
Those who refuse to Change and accept the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
ALTAR CALL
If you are listening to us today, or you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC and you are ready to Change your ways.
That Lively Hope will come into your Life the moment you give your Life to Jesus Christ, and you will enjoy it here on Earth.
Nothing will move you – No form of problem would move you, because you have a Lively Hope.
You have an Inheritance Pure and Undefiled that cannot Change.
If you are not living in the way of the Lord, right where you are now, repent.
There is a Song in our Hymn Book – I want you to always remember the Song and it will keep you going.
RCCG Hymn No. 485: O Weary heart there is a Home.
… We will take the first stanza only.
O Weary heart there is a Home
Beyond the reach of toil and care
A Home where Changes never come
Who would not fain be resting there?
Oh Wait… Meekly Wait and murmur not!
Oh Wait… Meekly Wait and murmur not!
Oh Wait… Oh Wait
Oh Wait and murmur not!
This is where we are talking about – Wait, stop murmuring, do whatever you need to do in Joy and Faith.
God Himself will help us, and we shall get to that Home, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
PRAYER POINTS:
- I want you to Thank God.
Tell Him Lord, I am very Grateful that you have raised my Hope today.
I Pray that by Your Special Grace, You will keep me unmovable in my Salvation Journey, to Wait till the End.
And I will receive everything You have Prepared for me.
Shall we begin to Pray?
Pray for yourself, for your husband (wife) and your children.
- Pray for all those who are not yet saved – Pray for Conviction to become Children of God.
Pray that God will wash them Clean with His Blood and write their names in the Book of Life.
Lord, this is our Prayer to You today.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER
Father, we Thank You for this Year’s Women in Ministry Conference.
And we Thank You because, more than ever before, You will Change our Lifestyles.
It will be that of Lively Hope; Rejoicing in Hope.
Even when we have Problems, we will look unto You.
We will Pray to You as Solomon did – Reminding You of Your Great deeds.
And You will do a New Thing in our lives.
That which our Strength cannot do, You will do for us.
We Pray Lord, that at the end of the Day, we shall enjoy that Lively Hope and that Inheritance.
And so shall it be!
Please, take care of our Homes;
Take care of our Businesses;
Take care of the Church of God;
And take care of our Nations!
As we Pray, we receive the Lively Hope in Faith; and we operate in Faith.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Women of Lively Hope shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Shout it again, let the devil be mad – Hallelujah.
I have received my Lively Hope – I will no longer look back and I will follow Jesus forever.
So shall it be – Amen!
