OPENING PRAYER
Ancient of Days, the I AM THAT I AM, the causeless curse of all Curses, the Unchangeable Changer, the Alpha and Omega; the Beginning, the Ending, the One who can make something out of Nothing.
Glory be to Your Holy Name.
We can never Thank You enough for what You’ve done for us – That thus far You have helped us;
That you can start something from the remote corner of the Jungle of Africa and bring it to this Level; Only You art the Almighty.
And knowing You very well that You always reserve the best till the Last; we know we haven’t seen anything yet.
Father, accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.
Daddy, in the lives of each and every one of us:
Llet this Minister’s Conference be a Landmark.
Let it be a Conference we would never forget.
Please Lord, Minister to us by Yourself.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Let Someone shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say to them: You are Welcome, in Jesus’ Name.
It is Good to Prosper. But Prosperity has its own Challenges.
Take my word for it – RCCG will always start small but it never remained small.
Somebody said in Lagos Nigeria, “When RCCG hires your house to hold Services, be careful (laugher): If you allow them to come in, you are likely to be the one who would get out for them.”
Which is the truth.
That’s our God! One of the things you must get into your Spirit straightaway is that, if you are in RCCG, you cannot remain small – It’s not Possible.
Mummy G.O has done great (Day 2, Talk 1 – Watch Out on our DMC Label).
I didn’t know she is a Professor of English – She said Landmark is a Combination of two (2) words – Land and Mark.
That’s very wonderful – Thank You Ma.
That’s very wonderful.
When we talk about “They that do know their God…” The Theological meaning of “know” is the foundation – Adam knew his wife.
And the meaning of ‘know’ there means husband and his wife getting really deep.
Now, take that to the level of God and Man, you would have a rough idea of how deep.
You see, it is those who do know their God that would be Strong and do Exploits.
When we talk about Landmark, there are Ministers’ Conference and there are Ministers’ Conference!
In every Man’s Life there will be a Minister’s Conference you will attend, that you will never forget in your Life – That is what we call, Landmark Ministers’ Conference.
I have attended all manner of Conferences in my Life but there is one I can never forget – The first Major Pentecostal Ministers’ Conference that took Place in Kenya (1976).
At that Meeting, I found myself in the Throne room of God. I saw the kind of thing that Apostle Paul said, “you don’t even want to talk about.”
And God spoke certain things to me, that I can’t share with you – Things that altered my Life completely.
I am Praying for you, that this Conference would be a Landmark Conference for you – Amen.
Whenever we have a Solemn Assembly, we always start by asking a Question: “Why are you here?”
And I am asking you that Question now: Why are you here?
You see, when you read John 12:19-22, there was a crowd there. Some People spoke to the Disciples of Jesus Christ, they said, “we want to see Jesus.”
A lot of People gathered for Celebration, but these People said, we are not here for jamboree – “We want to see Jesus.”
In Mark 5:25-34, there was a crowd round the Lord Jesus Christ; but there was a Woman there who said, “If only I can touch the helm of His Garment.”
Not just see Him, but I want to touch Him – That’s the Woman with the Issue of Blood.
In Mark 10:46-52, Bartimaeus said, there is a crowd here: But I want to hear a Word from the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want to hear Him say to me, hey! Let there be Light.
They told him to shut up. He said, you are the ones who will shut up.
Not long ago, I was discussing with my children in the Morning Devotion from Matthew 3:16-17 – It talks about what happened when Jesus was baptized.
As He was coming out of the water, the Heaven opened unto Him, and He saw the Holy Spirit coming like a Dove – He saw!
And the Dove alighted on Him – He was touched.
And then He heard a Voice from Heaven – “This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well Pleased.”
I Pray for all of you here, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: The Heavens will Open unto you; you will See, you will feel the Touch, and you will Hear a Word – Amen.
One of my son’s was complaining to me about how he was invited to a Programme – He went through a lot to get there, and he was given just fifteen (15) Minutes to Minister.
I said, that’s enough!
I told him of a time I was invited to America to Celebrate the Hundred Years of Azuza – I was given only fifteen (15) Minutes to speak. I travelled all the way from Nigeria to America.
But all the People who came from all over the world wanted only the tape on my fifteen (15) Minutes Sermon.
The demand for the tape on what God shared for fifteen (15) Minutes was so much, that it was announced – Those who want the tape should Please drop Address so that the tape can be mailed to them.
In 2 Kings 2:1-15, it is the Story of Elijah disappearing, and Elisha taking over.
Many People knew the Master was going that day – All the Sons of the Prophet knew.
Many were even watching across the River Jordan as the Heaven opened and a Whirlwind came, took away Elijah.
They saw it but only one fellow (Elisha) got a touch of the Mantle that fell.
Many of us see Miracles happening; feel a touch of the Miracle Working God; but I know one fellow would hear a Word that would cause him or her to cross over to Destiny.
In Acts 2:1-21, all those who were gathered together in the Upper Room heard the Sound; and they saw the Tongues of Fire. They even felt the Fire when it kindled on their head.
But do you know that at the end of the day, only one fellow Preached.
Who was the one fellow? Peter!
By the time you get to Acts 3:1-8, you would see something interesting there.
As he stood beside that Man by the Beautiful Gate, the first thing Peter said was, “Look on ‘us’!”
He said, you see the two of us (John and myself) standing beside you, we are just coming from a Special Ministers’ Conference.
And then he said” Silver and Gold have “I” none.
But you said, Look on ‘us’. All of a sudden you are making this thing Singular: Silver and Gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk (DMC NOTES: Acts 3:6).
The two of them were still here, but Peter was already saying clearly: We are both coming from the Upper Room, but I only know what I got, I know what I am taking with me from that Meeting.
By the time we end this Conference, we all would be blessed; but then, the Question would you, “What am I taking away?”
Peter said, Look on us! However, Personally, I have no Silver, I have no Gold; but what I have – I don’t know what John has; that is what I giving you.
By the time you get to Acts 5:12-16, all the Apostles Performed Wonders – All of them, because they were all in the Upper Room.
But it was Peter whose Shadow was healing the sick.
This is going to be a Landmark Ministers’ Conference for all of us, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
But I have told you before: Years ago, I read one Magazine on Cars, and they were grouping cars.
- They said Mercedes Benz is the Strongest.
- BMW is the Fastest.
- Lexus is the most Comfortable.
And someone asked: what about Rolls Royce?
I mean, as Strong as the Mercedes Benz engine is, they don’t use it to fly a Plane.
But the Strongest Plane, Particularly the Strongest Private Jet, their engines are made by Rolls Royce.
As a matter of fact, when you buy a Jet, you only own the body. You can’t pay for the engine. If you have to pay for the engine it would be too expensive.
And somebody said, Don’t you know that Rolls Royce is in a Class of its own? We are comparing cars and you are talking about Rolls Royce.
I believe somebody has already heard a Word today? Yes Sir.
Somebody is going to leave here, or after reading this Message now on the Label of DMC, and become a Class of his own – Amen.
When you read Acts 19:22-12, you would suddenly discover something:
Apostles are in Categories – We have Acting Apostles, Apostle, Chief Apostle, Senior Apostle (laugher).
In Acts 15:22, the Bible talks about Apostles that are Chiefs; Chief Apostle – Barnabas, Silas.
And in 2 Corinthians 11:5, the Bible talks about the very Chiefest Apostles – That’s serious!
Of all the Apostles, Paul was in a Class by himself – He was a Landmark Apostle.
The Bible said, God Performed Special Miracles by the hand of Paul.
I’ve said it before, A Miracle is Special Divine Intervention in the affairs of Man.
To talk about Special Miracles – Glory be to God!
When Mummy G.O was talking about spending and being spent, listen to what Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:7-11 – That I may know Him, and the Power of His Resurrection, and the Fellowship of His Sufferings, being made Conformable unto His Death;
I am going to ask you to Pray, before we move to deeper waters: Say Father, Please in this Conference let me see You, let me feel You, let me hear from You.
Go ahead, talk to God!
Thank You Daddy. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
May God grant your Request – Amen.
In Physics, they taught us that Light travels in Straight lines.
But as knowledge increased, we discovered that Light travels in waves – Up and Down.
Revival comes in Waves – It would rise to a Level and then for one reason or the other, if it is not maintained, it begins to descend. And then when it gets very low – and some People are Praying, it will begin to climb again.
Revival is about to begin, because we have gone as Low as we can.
One of us was arrested because he said, Ladies and Gentlemen – They said it’s because he didn’t talk about those who don’t even know whether they are Male or Female.
Let them call it whatever they like; Revival has started – Amen!
I have told you, in my Lifetime, there will be Revival in Europe and it has started – Amen.
The Upward Swing is on and the Good News is that, as it is reaching the Apex, my Lord would come!
The last Revival is going to sweep throughout the whole world – It has started, there is nothing you can do about it as you can’t stop it.
The only thing is: Will you be Part of it?
… So that brings me to what I want to discuss with you.
CHURCH GROWTH: THE RIVER
As far as the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is concerned, Church Growth can be in Three (3) Categories:
- The River
- The Sea
- The Ocean.
Today I want to talk about The River.
Acts 2:1-4
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
One Man can start a Stream or a Riverlet.
Because according to John 7:37-39, Jesus Christ said, In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water.
And in Matthew 18:19-20, the Bible tells that where two or three are gathered together in His Name is already a Church.
That’s what they call us in Nigeria – “Where two or three are gathered.”
When we started Planting Churches, they called us all manners of names.
They would asked, how many Parishes of RCCG do they say they have? Two hundred (200) Parishes – “Don’t mind them, each one is where two or three are gathered.”
I remembered very well when we started a Church in Uyo (Akwa Ibom State Nigeria) in one small Shop; Somebody said, “How can Somebody start a Church in a Shop?”
Just as the number was increasing to about thirty (30), we Split – Took some People to another Shop somewhere else.
Before you knew it, there were four (4) Parishes in Uyo.
Someone close to me said, “When I see the General Overseer, I am going to talk to him; What sort of madness is this? All four (4) Parishes put together is not even up to a Church.”
He said it the day we were Dedicating four (4) Cathedrals in one day in Uyo.
He said, I was going to tell you, but we never met before now: “But I can see that there is order in your Madness.”
You can start a little River, a little Stream – Just like when we started in United Kingdom.
When we started the first Church in UK, there were just four (4) of us – Every one of us had a Title.
- One was Sunday School Superintendent.
- One was Choir Mistress.
- One was Pastor.
- And I was the General Overseer.
Four (4) of us! Look at UK today.
All you need to note is that, God loves little flocks.
Luke 12:32 says, Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s Good Pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
We may start small, like Mummy G.O said, but we won’t end small.
However, we don’t want to remain small.
When the Lord was leaving, He left about Five Hundred (500) Brethren (1 Corinthians 15:6).
What do we do, so that all of a sudden that little Stream can become a River?
How can we move from a Church of five hundred (500) People to a Church of Three thousand five hundred (3,500)?
In Acts 2:41, Peter Preached one Sermon and all of a sudden the Church grew from five hundred (500) People to a Church of three thousand five hundred (3,500).
A LOOK AT ACTS 2:1-4
We need a Closer look at Acts 2:1-4 (our Bible Text):
- ONE ACCORD
The Bible says, all the People were in one accord. Never overlook that!
When People ask me, “What is the Secret of the Growth of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nigeria?”
It is the Covenant of God.
We are a Covenant Church – God Himself named the Church.
He entered into a Covenant with the Founder (Pa Josiah Akindayomi) – The Founder kept his own Part of the Covenant till he died.
So there is nothing anybody can do now to stop God from fulfilling His own Part of the Covenant – That’s it!
But we are in one accord – We don’t argue like you highly Educated People.
It is News if they hear that a Pastor in Charge of a Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) says he would not do what the General Overseer asked him to do.
People get horrified, because it doesn’t happen – We are in one accord.
So when we find someone who says, “I want to do things my own way” even his friends would say, “you are on your own.”
You want our little Streams to become Rivers in Europe? What is the word? One accord!
It doesn’t matter who your Continental Overseer is; who your Regional Pastor is, etc – All those are names.
The moment we are all in one accord, whatever God says to our Leaders, that’s what we are going to do, whether it is convenient or not – You will see Miracles.
In Mathematics we have what we call ‘the Set’.
- Any number that can be divided by 2 is called the Set of Even Numbers.
- Any number which cannot be divided by 2 is called the Set of Odd Numbers.
In the Spiritual Realm, there is the Set of the Almighty.
I. The First Person in that Set is God:
He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty (DMC NOTES: Psalm 91:1).
Who is the Almighty?
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? (DMC NOTES: Jeremiah 32:27).
Almighty means, He can do anything.
II. The Second fellow in that Set of the Almighty is the one who has Faith:
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are Possible to him that believeth.
III. The Next Set of People in the Set of the Almighty are People who are United:
Genesis 11:6 says, And the LORD said, Behold, the People is one, and they have all one Language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
God says, when you are united I can’t stop you – If God can’t stop you, who is the devil?
If only we can be United; if only you know we are Brothers and Sisters, Children of the same Father, going in the same direction, expecting the same thing.
The reason He has kept you alive is because, for a Time like this – He is going to need you.
Let me tell you the Truth, a Time is coming when People of other Faith would come to you and ask you: “What must we do to be saved? One Accord!
Psalm 67:5-7 says, Let the People Praise thee, O God; let all the People Praise thee. Then shall the Earth yield her Increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the Earth shall fear him.
Do you know there are Miracles that frighten those that receive them?
Some of us have seen Miracles, but there are Miracles that, even if it happens to the fellow next to you, would frighten you.
I have shared this with you before; we held a Holy Ghost Service at the National Stadium in Surulere (Lagos Nigeria). The Place was jammed Packed. People were sitting everywhere.
There was a Man who had a goiter – A big Growth. A Lady was sitting close to him.
And you know Human Beings, when you have that kind of Prominent Problem, they won’t focus on what they came for.
As I was Ministering, God spoke to me and said: Son, there’s Somebody here with a Growth on his neck. The Growth is gone!
The moment that Lady heard, “The Growth is gone.” She knew it was the Man sitting next to her they were talking about.
Just as a bird flies away, the Growth was gone!
The Lady was so shaken – She was not the one who got the Miracle.
She was so shaken that after the Programme, she trekked from Surulere to Palm groove (DMC NOTES: Both are Cities in Lagos State Nigeria).
Those of you who know Lagos, you know that will be at least (shall we say) 10 kilometers – Before she remembered that she Parked her car at the Stadium.
How many of you want a Miracle that will frighthen you? The DMC Family Members!
You will get it before I finish – Amen.
But God tells us how that can happen – “Let the People Praise thee, O God; let all the People Praise thee.”
If there are five thousand (5,000) of us here and I ask us to Praise God. And one fellow refuses to Praise God, the condition for the Miracle that frightens would not be met.
So, if all of us are in one accord, with only one exception, they hinder the Blessing of the rest of us.
… They were in one accord! That’s the No. 1.
- A SOUND FROM HEAVEN
There came a Sound from Heaven.
We need a sound from Heaven. Why?
To lift the Siege against the Church of God.
In 2 Kings 7:1-end; when Elisha said, within 24 hours there would be Abundance.
When Pastor Adeboye says, before this time Next Year we would all have Abundance – Amen.
How did it happen?
The Bible says there was a Sound from Heaven.
Those who laid the Siege against the City heard a Sound from Heaven – That was the Secret.
Four (4) Lepers were walking towards the enemy’s camp. And because they were Lepers, they couldn’t walk briskly; they were dragging their feet.
And the Almighty God Picked up that little noise they were making, put it on the Megaphone of Heaven and turned it to the enemy’s Camp.
The enemies heard a Sound from Heaven and they said, Ha! This King has gone to hire several kings against us. Let us flee before they come.
Many of you don’t know the Secret of “Let Somebody Praise the LORD.”
I’ve said is before; many People when they want to start a Service they’ll tell you, let’s bind the devil.
They bound him yesterday, did he get loose overnight?
If he’s that slippery, how am I sure if we bind him at the beginning of the Service he would not be loose before the end?
If only you can Praise God! Because nobody wants to stay where they are praising his enemy. We don’t waste our time binding him.
Have you ever heard me say, let’s begin this Service by binding the devil? No!
I start by saying, Let Somebody shout Hallelujah!
I have told you before; it is not the Hallelujah of one fellow that brought down the Wall of Jericho. It was the combined shout of everybody.
So, do I hear Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
You always tell me that this is Europe, and everything here must be done quietly and in order.
On the Day of Pentecost, there was disorder.
There was so much disorder, the People thought the Apostles were drunk.
I love Holy disorder (laugher)!
I am not the one who wrote Psalm 47:1, which says: O clap your hands, all ye People; shout unto God with the voice of Triumph.
I have told you that real Theologians say, “Clap your hands” means, put your Enemies between your palm and jam them together.
- So they were in One Accord;
- There was a Sound from Heaven.
- THE WIND BLEW
If our little Streams are to become Rivers, the Wind must blow.
According to Genesis 1:1-3, before God could speak at all, the Wind had to blow.
Everything God did during Creation – Everyday of Creation started with an Evening.
The waves of Light would start from the Valley and then begin to go.
You see, when there was Darkness all over the Earth, the Spirit of moved and then God spoke.
The Wind must blow.
This is a very important Session, Please pay attention
I. Because the Wind needs to Blow to make a way where there was none before (DMC NOTES: Exodus 14:21-28).
Oh! Thank You Daddy!
My Daddy says the Wind will Blow today – Amen.
II. The Wind must Blow so that Dry Bones can live again (DMC NOTES: Ezekiel 37:1-10).
III. Consequently, if the Wind does not Blow, you must use the Fan.
If you are feeling hot and you want comfort, what do you do? Use the Fan!
Because the Wind is there, it is just waiting for you to move.
One great Man of God said, “If the Spirit doesn’t move you, move the Spirit.”
In 2 Timothy 1:6, Apostle Paul said to Timothy, Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the Gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
Stir up the Spirit!
When you read 1 Corinthians 14:14-18, Paul the Apostle, the very Chiefest of the Apostles said, I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
Sound of the
Spirit.
There are moments when I don’t just feel like Preaching at all. Yet the People have gathered, not to listen to Somebody else.
If they listen to Somebody else, they have tolerated the fellow, because they have been waiting, and the one they are waiting for is tired.
So, if the Spirit is not moving you, you have to move the Spirit.
In the Past, whenever it was time for me to Minister, and Pastor Kunle Ajayi has Ministered and has moved the Spirit; I still get down on my knees and I begin to Worship God.
You Probably have noticed in recent times that the moment I start a Chorus, I let you continue, so I can stir up the Spirit, Praying in the Holy Ghost.
I keep the Microphone a little bit away from my mouth, so you won’t hear what I am saying.
When I stir up the Spirit like that, and I begin to Preach; at the end of the day, I will say to myself, “That wasn’t in my Note. I wasn’t Planning to say that.”
I then go back to my Prayer Room, lie flat on my face and say Thank You to the Almighty.
And you know what? People gather together, they come with all manners of Problems.
No matter how Anointed you are, you can’t know the Problems of thousands of People.
All of a sudden you hear: “There’s Somebody here…”
Because when you stir up the Holy Spirit, He would tell you Secrets and He would tell you Problems to be solved.
Thank You Father.
The Lord says, Somebody is saying; “I am hearing something now.” Congratulations!
In Acts 16:25-end, the Bible says, And at Midnight Paul and Silas Prayed, and sang Praises unto God: and the Prisoners heard them.
They didn’t Praise God quietly, they didn’t Pray quietly.
I am begging you once again: Don’t let us be too Sophisticated to Pray.
The only Place where you have everything quiet is in the graveyard – Not on the Football Field.
Let Somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
- FIRE MUST FALL
Before the Revival on Mount Carmel, Fire fell (DMC NOTES: 1 Kings 18:38-39).
Why must Fire Fall?
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see Signs and Wonders, ye will not believe.
The reason the Monthly Holy Ghost Service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God is still going on in Nigeria since it started (close to 40 years ago) is because there will be Wonders – They know it.
Many Organizations have tried to copy us, it didn’t work – They call it Night of Wonders, Night of Power.
All kinds of Nights but no Night is like the Holy Ghost Service.
And there has been all manner of efforts by the devil, to stop the Holy Ghost Service – One that is open to everyone is that, it took close to 3 years to construct the Expressway from Lagos to Ibadan. And then, they said they want to repair it – They didn’t finish repairing for more than 8 years.
Finally, I told the People involved, it’s not your fault , it’s the devil. He doesn’t want People coming to the Holy Ghost Service.
He has used all manner of Methods like Traffic, etc.
Fire must Fall, before the People can see Signs and Wonders.
Because it takes Signs and Wonders to bring People to your Church.
And to keep them there, they need to keep seeing Signs and Wonders on a constant basis.
No matter how good an Orator you may be; one day they’ll be fed up with your Oratory.
Oratory is not what I need if my child is dying – What I need is Healing.
I don’t want to hear Theology when I see that everything is going wrong.
Whichever direction I turn, what I need is Divine Intervention.
And you are supposed to be a Man of God – You are supposed to be a link with God; so that if my Faith is not enough, you add your own. Because that’s why we come to you.
FIRE DOES NOT FALL ON AN EMPTY ALTAR
You need to note that!
When we go through the Scripture, there are Several Occasions Fire Fell from Heaven – Always, there was something on the Altar.
- Exodus 9:18-26: Hail mixed with Fire fell in Egypt and killed many of the cattles of the People left in the open.
- Judges 6:11-21: When Gideon offered an Offering to the Angel that visited him, Fire fell.
- 1 Kings 18:30-39: The Altar on Mount Carmel had a Sacrifice on it, that the Fire fell on.
- 2 Kings 1:9-12: Twice, the Fire fell in a Day, on the Soldiers sent by the King to arrest Elijah.
- 2 Chronicles 7:1: When Solomon was dedicating the Temple of the Most High God, Fire fell on his Offering.
- Acts 2:1-4: Fire Fell on the Disciples on the Day of Pentecost.
BE A LIVING SACRIFICE
You want the Fire to Fall on you? You must be willing to be a Living Sacrifice.
Romans 12:1 says, I beseech you therefore, Brethren, by the Mercies of God, that ye Present your Bodies a Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable Service.
Many People may not know this; but in the week of the Holy Ghost Service (in Nigeria), by Tuesday; I would go into my Prayer Closet.
Even my wife can’t visit me.
Even Presidents are aware that if it is the Holy Ghost Service week, don’t say you want to visit me.
Because I can’t leave the Presence of God to attend to the President.
Presidents rule for a maximum of eight (8) years but there is Someone up there – He is there for ever.
I was chatting with a former Nigeria President who is a very Good friend of mine. And we said, who is more Powerful – the President or the Pastor?
He said, the President of course! As the Head of State, I can decree a Curfew, and Nobody would come to your Church.
And I said, I know! But I can go on my knees and decree that the barren would be Fruitful; I can Command the Lame to walk: but you cannot do those things.
Somebody is bigger than the other. Power passes Power!
How many of us are willing to be Living Sacrifices? The DMC Family Members.
Because God can move you in less than one Month; from a Stream to a River – He can do it! He is the Controller of Heaven and Earth.
You can get home after now and a Miracle can happen that would Advertise you to the world.
You’ve Probably heard the News – It happened a couple of years ago.
One house help, filled with the Holy Spirit, went on Evangelism. She laid hands on People;
- A man who was known by everyone as being Lame, got up and began to walk.
- Somebody who was a Leper was Cleansed immediately.
- One known mad fellow was healed on the spot.
It took the intervention of the Police to rescue the girl from the crowd.
Just one Miracle is enough to advertise you. But are you willing to be a Living Sacrifice?
When I lock myself in, the only time I come out of that Prayer Room is when everybody is already fast asleep at Night – It could be 1.00am, 2:00am. I would walk round the Camp Praying. And I would run back before the day breaks.
So that by the time we get on the Podium on Friday Night, because we’ve had Contact with the One who is called the Holy Ghost;
When we now meet with the People, I am not surprised when He begins to say, I want to do this, I want to do that.
Somebody said, “How do you hear from God?” If you don’t hear Him in Secret, you can’t hear Him in Public.
So, how many of us are ready to be Living Sacrifices?
It is written, Thou shalt arise, and have Mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come (DMC NOTES: Psalm 102:13).
“The Generation you belong to is determined by you.”
Daddy, what do you mean?
It is written in the Book of Joel 2:28, And it shall come to Pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall Prophesy, your old men shall dream Dreams, your Young Men shall see Visions:
What determines whether you are Old or Young is if you are Dreaming or Seeing Vision.
Do you think at 83 years I am Dreaming? You are joking!
Are you willing to be a Living Sacrifice? Go ahead, talk to God.
He will discover from the way you Pray, the way you Worship Him, the way you deal with anything that has to do with Him.
You are to Pray with all your Heart. Let Him hear you loud and clear.
