Several Years ago when I was a small boy, there was a World Champion Boxer known as Sonny Liston (DMC NOTES: Sonny Liston, born Charles Liston, was a formidable American Boxer who reigned as the World Heavyweight Champion from 1962 to 1964. Known for his intimidating Presence and Powerful Punches, he achieved Significant Success in the ring, but his Career was also marked by Controversy and Speculation).
I had been interested since I was very Young – I used to be a Boxer but I didn’t look like one now.
And then, there was this “Small Boy” called Cassius Clay – Very Noisy and very Flamboyant! (DMC NOTES: Cassius Clay was the birth name of Muhammad Ali, one of the most Celebrated Heavyweight Boxers in History. He was born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1942. He later Changed his name to Muhammad Ali after converting to Islam).
And he (Cassius Clay) said that he will knock out Sonny Liston – Nobody had ever done anything like that before.
Sonny Liston was a very fearful Heavyweight Champion.
He was so tough that in one of his Boxing Matches he undertook, the Opponent broke his Jaw and he told his Doctors to help him sew it back so that he can continue with the fight – And he won the fight.
So, he was that kind of a “Fearful Fellow”.
So, when Cassius Clay said: “Give him to me and I will finish him”; everybody said that you are asking a boy to do what a Man cannot do.
But then we know the result- Cassius Clay went on and defeat Sonny Liston – And he became the World Champion.
When my friend – A very “Good Friend”; Reverend (Dr) Obiora Ezekiel died and the Mantle of Leadership fell on his wife.
There were several People who felt that: You are giving the Assignment of a Man to a Girl.
Today, God had Proved that she is more than Capable.
That will give you the Summary of the Person that we are Celebrating Today – She might be a Woman but she can do the work that some Men cannot do.
I. She is a “True Daughter of Zion”
II. She is a Warrior to the core.
III. She is Someone that I’m Proud to call my Daughter.
And one of the things that I appreciated so much in her and for which I Thank the Almighty God for is that she is one of the People who discovered their Purpose on Earth very early.
Even when the Husband was alive – And you know that one of the Appellation of her Husband is “The Bulldozer”.
Even when “The Bulldozer” was alive, she knew that her Calling is Prayer!
And when it comes to Praying; Demons tremble when this Lady is in Action!
I want you to help me Praise the Almighty God for a “Real Daughter of Zion” – A Champion among Champions and a Lady that could cause even Men to tremble!
The reason that I am able to be here Today – And forgive us that we are Changing your Program a little; is because Today has been booked at least two (2) Years ago that I will be somewhere.
That my Daughter will be Celebrating Today – I said that we have to Change whatever is Changeable as I have to be here.
So my Daughter – I Celebrate you and I rejoice with you!
And I Pray that the Almighty God who has kept you thus far will keep you Forver – Amen!
Psalms 90:12:
So teach us to Number our days, that we may apply our Hearts unto Wisdom.
The Word of God says: “Number your Days” – Not Year but your Days!
☆ Because everyday is Precious.
☆ Because you can never can tell which will be your Last Day.
Number your Days that you may do what?
Apply our Hearts to Wisdom – Don’t just grow Old, grow in Wisdom.
Now what is Wisdom?
Wisdom according to Psalm 111:10 – The Bible says that: “The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom”.
Now, there are some People who knows the Bible much more than me – And they say that the word “Fear” there simply means “Reverence”.
But from my own Understanding, Wisdom is fearing God.
Now, I have always told my Colleagues who will listen that Reverencing God is important – We Honour Him, we Worship Him and we Adore Him.
But if you are Wise, you will fear Him.
How can you fear the One who is Love?
Afterall the Bible says that “God is Love” (DMC NOTES: John 4:8 and 1 John 4:16).
But the Bible also says that the God who is Love is also a Consuming Fire (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 12:29).
How are you going to say that you are just going to Reverence the One who is a Consuming Fire?
Not “Ordinary Fire” but a Fire that can Consume?
The Elders has a saying that: “Even a Mad dog will recognise Fire”.
You have never seen a Mad Man who was burnt to Death.
Tell a thoroughly Mad Man – Put your hand in Fire, he will laugh and say that my Madness doesn’t reach that Level.
In Ecclesiastes 12:13 – You hear my Words, you do what I Command; then you are a Wise Man.
You are a Wise Man if you have Knowledge and you apply that Knowledge for your benefits.
You are a Wise Man if you are travelling on a road that you have never travelled before and you see a Sign by the roadside that says: “Narrow Bridge Ahead”.
If you see “Narrow Bridge Ahead”; that means that you already have Knowledge.
Information had given you the fact that there is a Bridge Ahead that won’t take more than a Vehicle at a time.
Now, if you are a Wise Man, what will you do?
You will slow down.
But if you are foolish, you will say: “What does it matter?” I am an International Driver. And then you speed up.
And then you get to the Narrow Bridge and found another Vehicle already on the Bridge.
Then you have to make up your Mind how you want to die – Head-On Collision or you want to drown in the River below.
There is one important Information that we cannot ignore – And it is Simple.
It says in Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.
That tells us in a very Plain Language what I am sure that we all know: That the Life of anybody is made up of three (3) Parts – The Past, called Yesterday; the Present, called Today and the Future, called Tomorrow.
- THE PAST.
If you want to apply Knowledge to get Wisdom; you will know that there is Nothing you can do about the Past as it is gone.
There is only one Fellow who can help you with your Past – His Name is Jesus.
Because His Blood Cleanses from all sins.
And the Bible says that if any Man be in Christ, he is a New Creature; Old Things has Passed away, behold all Things has become New (DMC NOTES: 2 Corinthians 5:17).
So, you put your Past in the Hand of Jesus Christ and let him deal with it.
Which is why People say clearly: “It is by Grace that you are Saved” (DMC NOTES: Ephesians 2: 8-9).
☆ There is Nothing you can do with the Past – It is gone.
☆ But Jesus Christ can help you and save your Soul for Free.
… So, that is how you deal with the Past.
- THE PRESENT.
The Big Problem with “The Present” is that it is the Child of Yesterday.
Whatever you are Today is because of the Decisions you took Yesterday!
When you are iin the Secondary School, you Study Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Then you have to take a Decision:
☆ Do I want to be a Professor of Physics or Chemistry or Biology?
☆ Do I want to become a Medical Doctor?
☆ Do I want to become a Chemical Engineer?
Whatever Decision you took Yesterday is what is happening in your Life Today!
Many of us who are here Today; we are here Today because at one time or the other in our lives; we give our Lives to Jesus Christ.
It was that Decision that led us to where we are Today.
So, Today is the baby of Yesterday!
That is why many of us – With all our Prayers and everything, we are still Harvesting some of the Seeds we sow in the Past!
- But then the beauty of “The Present” is that it is “The Mother of the Future”.
The Future, Oh it is in the Hands of God – I mean He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending (DMC NOTES: Revelation 1:8).
Oh without any doubt – Christ in you, the Hope of Glory (DMC NOTES: Colossians 1:27).
But whatever you sow Today is what you are going to reap Tomorrow!
There is no matter the amount of the Anointing – If you sow Yam Today, you are not going to reap rice Tomorrow!
There is Nothing you can do with your Prayers et cetera et cetera that is going to alter your Tomorrow apart from your Seed of Today!
“The Future” is in the Hand of God but the beauty of “The Present” is that you have the Ability to regulate your Future!
So, it doesn’t matter what anybody may say: Whatever you sow, that is what you are going to reap.
Probably the Biggest Law of the Universe is “The Law of Harvest”.
The Bible even said that when God wanted to have more than one Child, He sowed His Only Begotten Son so that He can become the First Born of many Children (DMC NOTES: Romans 8:29).
That is why we are all Today calling on God because the Law of Harvest works for God,
It is because the Law of Harvest works, that is why a Great Lady like this is sitting here Today.
It is because she said that those who come to my Birthday Celebrations or get to read the Sermon on the Label of DMC; must go home with something to think about.
And that is why I am Sharing what I am Sharing.
I have Good News for everyone of us here Today: In the Mighty of Jesus Christ, your Tomorrow will be alright – Amen!
But that is in your Hands:
☆ It depends on what you do with your Today.
☆ That depends on what you sow because that is what you are going to reap.
Oh, we know Somebody as Great as Apostle Paul – I mean he is the Great Apostle of Grace.
And when you go through the Scriptures, you can hear this Great Lawyer telling us Mighty Things about how wonderful God is.
But he himself made it abundantly clear in the Book of Galatians 6:7 – He said that: “Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatever a Man sows that shall he reap”.
He has gone through it and he knew by Experience that inspite of the fact that he was saved in a very dramatic manner; inspite of the fact that He really, really knows God, he still said: “Whatever you sow, that is what you will reap”.
With all his Anointing:
☆ Because he happened to be the Chairman the day they were Stoning Stephen; he still had to go through a lot of Stoning.
☆ Because he was actively involved in beating Christians and in throwing People to Prison; anytime he gets to a Town, the first Place he located is where ia the Prison because he knew that sooner or later he is likely to end up there.
And when he cried to God and said: God, all these beatings and Stoning; help me now! God said that my Grace shall be Sufficient for you.
You sow any bad Seed: When the Harvest comes and you begin to eat the Fruits; you will Fast and Pray and God will say that my Grace shall be Sufficient for you.
When you sow wild Grapes, you must eat it even though it put your teeth on edge.
And so, I want to encourage all of us who are here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC – I am of the opinion that we are all Great Men of God.
In a Place like this and in this Settitng, you are not likely to see small small boys Spiritually.
But let us take a Decision Today – That from now on, at least we have the Present; we will be sowing Good Seed so that it doesn’t matter what your Age may be, you Future may be alright.
The Almighty God will bless you all – Amen!
As you Celebrate with my Daughter; you too will be Celebrated – Amen!
ALTAR CALL
But just in case there is anyone here or reading now on the Label of DMC; who has not given your Life to Jesus Christ and you are Pretending to be a Child of God – I have told you the Truth:
The more you delay your Surrendering to Jesus Christ, the more you Pile up on yourself the terrible Seeds that has been sown and there will be terrible Fruits that will be waiting for you in the Future.
You have heard me say this one before:
Someone came to me long time ago and said: Sir, I learnt that you are a Prophet of God. I said no that I am not a Prophet but a Pastor.
When you see a Prophet, you know that you have seen a Prophet – Take a look at me and you will know that you see an “Ordinary Pastor”.
He said that but they say that whatever you say God said, it comes to Past! I said that God has been Faithful.
He said that in that case: Can you tell me my Tomorrow?
I said that is a Simple matter – All you need to do is to answer a Question.
He said what is the Question?
Are you Born Again? Are you a Child of God?
He said No. And I said that your Tomorrow will be terrible.
How do you know? You have not even Prayed for me and you have not even asked for my name.
I said that there is no Need – It is written and there is no Prophesy that can cancel the Written Word of God.
It is written in Isaiah 3:11 – Woe to the Wicked, it shall be ill with him.
He said that what if I said that I am Born Again and a Child of God?
I said then I can tell you that your Tomorrow will be alright.
How do you know?
It is written in Isaiah 3:10 – Say ye to the Righteous, it shall be well with him.
So in case there is Somebody in our midst and you are not yet Born Again; I can tell you Straightaway that your Tomorrow will be terrible.
But if you give your Life to Jesus Christ Today, your Tomorrow will be alright.
So as we bow our Heads – In case there is anyone at all that you have not given your Life to Jesus Christ; Please indicate by raising up your hands now so that we can Pray for your Salvation.
Nobody!
Glory be to God!
Then I can Pray for you.
CLOSING PRAYER
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, your Tomorrow will be alright.
The Almighty God in His Infinite Mercies will give you the Grace to sow Good Seeds so that you will be Harvesting Good Products in the Future.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, from the Seeds that you will be Planting now; there will be Plenty of Good Products for your Children and Grandchildren.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ that even as my Daughter is being Celebrated at seventy five (75) Years Old; you not die Young and you will live to be Celebrated.
And in the Kingdom of God, I will see you there.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
