OPENING PRAYER

Our Dear Redeemer, we bless Your Name.

You are the Lord that Changeth not.

You are a Good God; You are the Lord that will never need Delegates to be enthroned.

You are the God that can never grow Old.

You are just God by Yourself.

Thank You for the Privilege to come and learn at Your feet.

Please, speak Your Word to us Tonight.

Please, don’t look at our faces – As it Pleases You, release Your Mind to us.

Thank You Lord Jesus.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

Can you shout the loudest Amen – Amen.

If you are sure that you are in for an Encounter Tonight, can you shout a “Believing Amen” – Amen.

I want to appreciate the Lord.for the Privilege to be here Tonight.

And I want to Thank our Daddy and Mummy, for raising us all in the way of the Lord.

Daddy and Mummy, you will finish Well and Strong, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

And all our Daddies and Mummies that have mentored us over the years; thank you and God bless you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

The Topic is, Destined for Greatness – Part 2.

My Bible Text is taken from Isaiah 41:14: Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

As a way of Introduction Tonight: “Every Journey to a Destination has a Beginning.”

Proverbs 28:13 says, For surely there is an end; and thine Expectation shall not be cut off.

So if there is an Ending, that means there is a Beginning.

In Mark 4:35, Jesus said to the Disciples, “Let us cross over to the other side.”

• That was the beginning of a Change of Story in the Life of a Man.

In Genesis 2:18, And the Lord God said, It is not Good that the Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmeet for him.

• That was a beginning for a Glorious Marriage.

What is the beginning of a Man Destined for Greatness?

In Genesis 2:7, And the Lord God formed Man of the dust of the Ground, and breathed into his Nostrils the breath of Life; and Man became a Living Soul.

Please Take Note of these Points:

I. DUST

When we talk about dust:

• We are talking about Wasteful Substance.
• We are talking about something that is Insignificant
• We are talking about something that is Useless.
• We are talking about something that Nobody wants to be associated with.

When you see dust on your table, you clean it away.

When there is dust on your car you clean it away.

And the LORD God formed Man of the dust of the Ground, and breathed into his Nostrils the breath of Life; and Man became a Living Soul – (DMC NOTES: Genesis 2:7).

… Therefore, what is the beginning of that Man?

2. THE LORD:

The beginning of any Man, any Woman Destined for Greatness, is the Lord.

Please, can you shout – The Lord!

The Lord means, the Owner.

And if the Lord has not become the Owner of your Life; Brothers and Sisters, you are not Destined for Greatness.

If the Lord has not entered your Life, you can’t be saying you are Destined for Greatness.

Infact, I can tell you, “you are Destined for Destruction.”

It is when the Lord has entered your Life that you can say, “Christ in me, the Hope of Glory” (DMC NOTES: Colossians 1:27).

It is then that you can say, “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world” (DMC NOTES: 1 John 4:4).

Why? Because the Lord has entered into you.

So if you know you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour Tonight, we can’t be talking about Destined for Greatness – The beginning is the Lord.

3. WORM:

In Isaiah 41:14 (our Bible Text); the Bible says: Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye Men of Israel;

What is Worm?

• It is an animal without Strength.
• It has no backbone: You can just pick a worm and squeeze it with your hand;
• It is an Insignificant Thing.
• It has no Strength of its own.
• It has no Power to help itself.

You are here, or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC: You were not born with a Silver Spoon or you were not even born with any Spoon at all.

There are some Persons who had no shoes for the first eighteen (18) years of their lives.

There others still, nothing Good has ever come out of their family.

Yet God is saying, “you are Destined for Greatness.”

So you are asking, “How?”

God is saying: Even though you are a worm, and even though you have no Strength.

Because there are some People;

• The confusion of their lives is that they don’t know their Biological Parents.
• The confusion of their lives is that they have Nobody to help them in Life.

And God is saying, “Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye Men of Israel; for I will help you.”

Please, raise your Right Hand and say: O LORD my God, I receive Your help now!

Everyone in desperate need of help knows how to cry – Because it is Possible for help to be available, and yet not Accessible.

In Mark 10:46-52, Bartimaeus knew that his Helper was available.

The Bible says he cried out, “Jesus, Thou Son of David, have Mercy on me.”

In 2 Kings 6:5-7, the axe head fell into water, and the Servant of Elisha shouted: Alas, Master! for it was borrowed.

Do you know why he was crying? It’s because he saw shame and reproach coming.

In Matthew 14:30, Peter was sinking, and he cried to Jesus.

“But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.”

When he was crying, do know what he was seeing?

• He was seeing his Destiny sinking right in front of him.
• As he was going down, he saw his Glory sinking inside the water.
• As he was going down, he saw Generations unborn sinking with him.

And so he cried out: Lord, save me!

There are lots of People under the sound of my voice, or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC:

I. Your Life is sinking right in front of you, yet you have refused to cry out to Jesus.

II. There are some mothers, you are seeing the lives of your children sinking right before you, yet you refuse to cry out.

III. There are fathers too, the Lord is looking for you; He has been asking, “Husbandman, where are you? You see the Home I gave to you sinking, yet you can’t cry to Me for help.”

I know there’s Someone here Tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, who needs help.

Kindly lift up your Right Hand and say: In the Name of Jesus, O LORD my God, I am available, help my Life.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

HOW CAN I MANIFEST MY LIFE THAT IS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS?

If God says I am Destined for Greatness, how can I Manifest it?

1. MERCY:

You must realize that it is not Money that will make you to fulfil Destiny; it is Mercy.

You might have Money; if Mercy would not come on that Money, it would be a waste.

You must realize that it is not Method; in fact, you might know the best Methods in Life that can make you arrive at certain Conclusions; but if Mercy would not come on that Method, the Method can mess you up.

It is Possible that your own is to focus on your Merits.

You might have the best Experience; but if Mercy would not come on your Merits, you can end up being frustrated by the Merits.

Romans 9:15-16 says, For he saith to Moses, I will have Mercy on whom I will have Mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have Compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth Mercy.

Until Mercy comes on a Man, no Destiny can be fulfilled.

Until Mercy lands on a Man, no Greatness can be Accomplished.

In Mark Chapter 5; it is the Story of a Man that was Destined for Greatness.

Suddenly, his Destiny was hijacked by the devil.

But from the other side, Jesus located the Man.

• The man could not Pray for himself; he did not even know how to Pray. But Mercy located him.

This man was Destined to be an Evangelist but the devil turned him to a Great Madman – A Madman that was well known in his entire Region; while his Original Destiny was to be a Great Evangelist.

There are a lot of Persons whose Destinies have been hijacked from them by the devil.

I decree by the Mercy of God Tonight: Everyone under the Sound of my voice, including those reading now on the Label of DMC, whose Destinies have been hijacked; by Mercy, take them back – Amen.

2. PURPOSE:

• Discover your Purpose;
• Discover the Will of God for your Life.
• Discover the Intention of God for your Life.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, 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.

It is your responsibility to discover that Plan.

To Jeremiah, He said: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a Prophet unto the Nations. Then said I, Ha, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child (DMC NOTES: Jeremiah 1:5-6).

The Question is: “What is it that God is aware of concerning you that you don’t know?

• It is your responsibility to discover it.
• It is your responsibility to search for it.

And how can you discover it? One of the ways is by Prayer of Inquiry.

In Jeremiah 33:3, He says, Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee Great and Mighty things, which thou knowest not.

• There are Great and Mighty things about your Life;

There are great and mighty things about your Destiny that Heaven is waiting for:

• “When will he or she come to Inquire about it?”
• “When will he or see come and see it?”

And God is waiting for you today, to call unto Him.

3. THE PRESENCE OF GOD:

• The Presence of God is the Secret of Preservation.
• The Presence of God is the Secret of Favour.

Psalm 91:1 – He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.

Last Sunday (1st June 2025) Daddy G.O told us a Story of three (3) Special Fish.

Daddy said, the three (3) fish were being harassed by both the Mother and Baby Sharks.

So they invited God to a Meeting; “Lord, You’ve seen what is happening.”

So the fish had the Privilege to tell God what they wanted.

• The first fish demanded that all the scales on its body should become eyes.
• The second fish demanded for a pair of wings to be able to fly.

… God granted the Requests of the first two (2) fish.

• But the third fish said, Lord, I just want Your Presence to go with me everywhere I go.

It is the Presence of God around you that can make you face Fire and survive when you go through Rivers.

The first two (2) fish that demanded for eyes and a pair of wings still died but the one that said, “Lord, all I need is Your Presence around me” lived.

• It is the Presence of God around you that will not allow you to burn when you face Fire.
• It is the Presence of God around you that will not let you drown in the River.

Isaiah 43:2 says, When thou passest through the Waters, I will be with thee; and through the Rivers, they shall not Overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

It is the Presence of God that will preserve you always because in the Journey to Manifest Greatness:

• A time will come that you will have to face Fire, River, etc.
• A time will come that Challenges beyond your Comprehension will surface.

But do you know, if the Presence of God is with you, in the face of Challenges:

• You will look at the Challenge eyeball to eyeball and say to the Challenge, “No Challenge.”
• Even when the Challenges are Great, you will still tell the devil, “No Challenge.”

Why? Because God is with you!

How can I Activate the Presence of God? By being a Soul Winner!

Matthew 28:28-30 says, And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All Power is given unto me in Heaven and on Earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all Nations, Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have Commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

When you look at that Scripture, He began by saying: “All Power is given unto me.”

And then He went on to Command: “Go ye therefore, and teach all Nations.”

And He said: “lo, I am with you always.”

One of the surest ways to enjoy the Presence of God – Apart from Worship, Holiness, Thanksgiving; is Soul Winning.

He said, lo, I am with you – How? Always!

You want God to be with you always? Win Souls.

4. BE A SERVANT:

Live the Life of Servanthood.

Recently I learnt a Lesson from a Mechanic Worship – I took my car there for Service.

The Workshop Owner told one of his Apprentice to attend to me by checking my car. The Young Apprentice attended to me by working on my car. He finished his Assignment and reported back to his Master.

Who is a Servant?

I. A Servant is Someone that is given to Service.

Psalm 89:20 says, I have found David my Servant; with my Holy Oil have I anointed him.

• The Oil is for Servants, not for Title Holders.*
• The Oil is for Someone who is given to Service.

II. A servant is a Man or a Woman who is Obedient to his or her Master.

The Boss told the Apprentice, “Go and work on that car.” He only said, Yes Sir!

Isaiah 1:19 – If ye be Willing and Obedient, ye shall eat the Good of the Land:

III. A Servant is a Man or a Woman who is not envious or jealous of other Servants.

In that workshop that I went to Service my car, there were other Apprentice there:

• Some of them were working on big cars.
• Some were running several other errands.

But I noticed that the one assigned to my car was not looking at what the other Apprentice were doing – His only focus was on the Assignment committed to his hand.

A Servant is not envious of others around.

IV. A servant is a Man or a Woman who is ready to serve without the Mindset of an receiving Honorarium (Envelope).

The Apprentice I am talking about; the moment he finished his work, if I like I give him a tip, if I don’t like I won’t give him any tip – He will just go and meet his Master.

So a Servant given to Service: Either a Teacher, a Politician, a Pastor, a Music Minister, an Instrumentalist; you must serve without the Mindset of receiving Honorarium, or Appreciation Envelope.

He or she should just serve, as unto the Master.

5. THE HOLY GHOST:

Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a Man?

The Angel appeared to Mary and told her of the Great things that will happen to her.

Mary loved it, and she accepted it but she could not Comprehend it.

She said to the Angel;

• Even though what you are saying is so big;
• Even though I love what you are saying: that I am Destined for Greatness.

Yet she asked, “How shall this be, seeing I know not a Man?”

And the Angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall Overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God (DMC NOTES: Luke 1:35).

Please, can you shout: The Holy Ghost!

I. If they ask you: “How will you fulfil your Destiny?”

What will be your Response?

The Holy Ghost!

II. If the Doctors say you cannot carry a baby in your womb.

• On this Mountain, we have seen a woman without womb carrying Triplets.
• On this Mountain, we have seen a woman whose breasts were cut off because of cancer, getting new set of breasts.

How did it happen? The Holy Ghost!

Please, be on your feet (if you can) as we Pray.

You want to be Great in Life – The Holy Ghost is the Answer.

I. Even if you are like a worm – Without Strength; the Holy Ghost is the Answer.

I. Even if you are like dust that is useless – The Holy Ghost is the Answer.

… In thirty (30) Seconds, close your eyes and Pray in the Holy Ghost.

Thank You Lord Jesus.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

Don’t forget this; the beginning of every Life Destined for Greatness is the Lord God.

You must make Peace with, and Surrender to the Lord God Tonight.

God Bless You – Amen!
