The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jehovah the Man of War
Your Mercy endureth forever and ever
Oh Praise His Holy Name (Amen).
OPENING PRAYER
The God of Abraham, God Isaac, God of Jacob; The Unchangeable Changer, the Almighty God. Glory be to Your Holy Name!
We can never Thank You enough for what You did for us during this Convention:
Thank You for fighting our battles for us.
Thank You for making us More Than Conquerors.
Father, accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name
My Father and my God, Tonight in a very, very Special way, surprise everyone of us.
Do something that will last forever.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah
Let’s shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People, say: “Good Evening, Overcomer.”
BIRTH REPORT
By the Special Grace of God, as at 6:00pm this Evening, the number of children born during this Convention had increased to One hundred and Eight (108).
Twenty three (23) Babies were born today – Ten (10) boys and thirteen (13) girls.
So we now have sixty one (61) boys, forty seven (47) girls.
May be the Girls should say Praise the Lord today.
Let the Boys shout Hallelujah!!!
Glory be to God.
Tonight is for the Holy Communion Service and Anointing Service.
Our Main Bible Text for this Convention has always been: 1 John 4:4 – 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.
The Supplementary Bible Text for Tonight is Psalm 23:5 – Thou Preparest a table before me in the Presence of mine Enemies: thou anointest my head with Oil; my cup runneth over.
The African Elders have a saying (God Bless them) – They say: “It is what is inside the bird that determines how the bird would fly”.
… What the bird eats determines how high it can go.
It’s absolutely correct!
You will discover for example, that the Eagle flies the highest.
- And the Eagle will never eat any rotten meat.
- The Eagle would kill and eat fresh meat every day.
It is what is inside of you that would determine how high you would fly.
Is there anyone here today, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC, who wants to fly the highest?
Let me hear you shout the “Loudest Hallelujah” – Hallelujah .
The Bible says in Ephesians 3:20 – Now unto him that is able to do Exceeding Abundantly above all that we ask or think;
Then it goes ahead to add a big clause: “… aAccording to the Power that worketh in us.”
God is able to do much more than you can ever ask or even think but it depends on the Power that is inside of you.
When the Bible says in Colossians 1:27, that Christ in you, the Hope of Glory: It tells you what is in you. Because that is going to determine even what you can Hope for.
In the Name that’s above all other name, I claim one Word of Prophecies of Last Night for every one of you: “You will never be disgraced again” – Amen.
Apostle Paul said in Galatians 4:19; My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
So you can see everything is Pointing to what is inside of you if you are going to be an Overcomer Permanently.
And so Jesus Christ said in John 6:55-57; you have to eat my flesh and drink my Blood so that you can have Life in you.
“For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.”
So, when we come to the Holy Communion Table, we have not come for something to joke with.
- That’s why the Holy Communion is the most Sacred of all Meals.
- That’s why the Bible says you don’t just eat it casually.
- That’s why you have to follow the details about how God said you should approach His Table.
Because when you come to the Table of the Lord, you are Strengthening what is already in you.
So when He said in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26: “Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you” – It’s not a joking Statement.
When He said, “Take, drink, this is my Blood shed for you” – It’s not a joking Statement.
There is Power Mighty in Partaking in the Meal of God:
- When you take the Bread, Symbolic of His Body.
- And you drink the Wine, Symbolic of His Blood.
The Resurrection Power of Jesus Christ begins to work in you.
That’s why you have heard Testimonies upon Testimonies of those who Partook of the Holy Communion; and all of a sudden they got Victory that could not be obtained through any Human means.
Maybe I’ll tell you one (1) or two (2) Stories on that – So that those of you who are here today might know that by Partaking in the Holy Communion, you are setting up yourself for Absolute Victory.
You would remember the Story of an Elderly Man in Abeokuta (DMC NOTES: Capital City of Ogun State Nigeria) – He was dying, he knew he was dying and so he sent for his Pastor.
And the Pastor was about going on a journey.
The Old Man said: Please my Pastor, I know I am on my way out, I want to take just one more Holy Communion before I go.
So the Pastor quickly organized a Communion Service for him before he traveled.
Days later, the Pastor returned. And he asked, “When did Baba go? And they told him, even before you got to the Motor Park, Baba had been healed.
And he lived several years after that.
Tonight, if there is any Appointment with Death in your Life; as you Partake of this Holy Communion, that Appointment is Cancelled – Amen.
I’ve told you the Story of one of my daughters too.
She had all manner of Problems; and they’ve done all kinds of X-ray.
Then she told her children, “Take me to Camp! I want to touch the Ground again before I die.”
And they brought her.
And it happened to be Thursday Night before the Holy Ghost Service.
She came, she was so weak she couldn’t leave the car – So she sat in the car, and the son took the Communion Elements to her.
When the Service was over and the son opened the door of the car, he found many dead Soldier Ants where Mama was sitting.
So the son said, sorry, I must have Parked the car in the midst of Soldier Ants.
But he looked everywhere round the car, and there was not a single Soldier Ant outside.
So the Soldier Ants that were found in the car came out of the body of Mama.
There are evil forces, if they invade the body, they create Problems.
And these demonic forces, they don’t appear on X-ray.
So if there is any evil force hibernating in your body, Tonight as you Partake of this Holy Communion; they shall be rooted out – Amen.
That’s the Holy Communion – That’s why you don’t come to eat it unworthily.
The Bible made it clear: If you take it unworthily, you can even die – It can kill.
If you are not a True Child of God and you take the Holy Communion; you can become Sick and you can die.
That’s what the Bible says!
NOW THE ANOINTING SERVICE
Because I have to put the two together – The Holy Communion and Anointing Service.
Anointing has a number of Peculiarities:
- It Protects the Anointed:
We said Life is war – You go from one battle to the other.
But the Anointing Protects the Anointed.
Why?
Because God said in Psalm 105:14-5 – He suffered no Man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved Kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine Anointed and do my Prophets no harm.
That’s what God said – He gave a warning to all Enemies – “Touch not mine Anointed.”
So God showed me in Psalm 23:5 when He said: Thou Preparest a Table before me in the Presence of mine Enemies: thou anointest my head with Oil; my cup runneth over.
You know what God was doing?
He is challenging the Enemies; “Hey, my children, sit down, eat, enjoy yourself.” And He made sure the Enemies are around to watch.
He is challenging them, “If you dare go ahead and touch my child – Touch my child and see the meaning of my Name: “The Consuming Fire”.
Do you know that from now on, as you begin to enjoy – Particularly the Blessings of this Convention: Any evil force that tries to touch you shall be consumed by Fire? (Amen)
So He is daring the enemy; “You think you can fight? You think you are tough? Maybe you don’t know my child is coming from the Convention of the Overcomers. Try it and see what the Consuming Fire can do?”
You know the Story of David;
- The Lion tried it, and the Lion died.
- The Bear tried it, and the Bear died.
- Goliath tried it, and Goliath died.
- Funny enough, the father-in-law tried it, and the father-in-law died.
I decree in the Name of the One who has made me your Dad – From this hour onward, even if any Member of the family attempts to attack you, they will pay for it with their lives (Amen).
So the Anointing is for Protection.
… But that’s not all;
- The Anointing is for Empowerment – To Empower you.
You know the Story of Samson in Judges 14:5-6 – The Bible says, Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the Vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a Young Lion roared against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came Mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
The Lion saw him, “Ha, thank you for walking this way, because I am hungry.”
The Lion didn’t know who it was roaring against.
The Bible says, the Spirit of God came Mightily upon Samson – He took the Lion and tore it as if it was a little Goat.
As you go home after this Convention, any Lion that roars against you shall pay for it with its Life – Amen.
When you read Judges 15:11-15, you would find it very interesting – They wanted to arrest Samson, and it took three thousand (3,000) Men to arrest one Man.
And he told them, you are my Relatives, they said, yes. “Promise me you are not going to harm me yourself.”
Because if you try to attack me: Relative or no Relative, you will die.
They Promised him, “We will only bind you and hand you over to the Enemies.”
He said fine! Because if you make a mistake; if you think I am one of you, therefore you want to harm me yourself; you won’t live to tell the Story.
Three thousand (3,000) Men, just to bind one Man.
Thank God the Bible says, “Greater is He that is in you than all those who are in the world.”
And then they brought him – Handed him over to the Enemies; and the Enemies began to rejoice.
You know the rest of the Story – The Spirit of God came Mightily upon Samson.
And you know Anointing behaves like fire – It’s a fire you can’t see; but it’s a fire that can consume.
And all the ropes binding him just broke lose.
THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE ANOINTING OF TONIGHT.
Certain things are going to happen here Tonight as soon as you are Anointed:
- If there is any rope still binding you; any Yoke binding your hands, binding your feet, hindering your Progress – All of them will be consumed by Fire (Amen).
- The Bible says, Samson found the Jawbone of an Ass.
And the Jawbone of an Ass became a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
From now on, whatever you touch will Prosper – Amen.
- The Bible says, he killed a thousand of the Enemies.
Do you know the reason he stopped at one thousand? It’s because the others fled! The others ran away.
Before you get home, the Congregation of your Enemies would have been scattered – Amen.
- And you know the best part of it?
The Relatives who handed him over, that did so because they felt, “this young man is giving us so much Problem: let the Enemies to finish him!”
At the end of the day when they saw that the Man they thought had finished was Standing Victorious; they were disappointed and they were frustrated.
*Every Member of your family Praying that God will just take you away:
They will be disappointed – Amen.
They will be frustrated – Amen.
And you will Testify – Amen.
I say, you will Testify – Amen!
AN APPEAL
I don’t want to tell many Stories Tonight – I just want to make an Appeal, before you come forward to eat, and then be Anointed.
I want to appeal to you: Please don’t annoy God; don’t do anything that would make Him leave you alone.
You see, it’s because when He left Samson:
- He became an Ordinary Man.
- And he died a very, very Shameful Death.
Now a lot of People always say, “Delilah killed Samson.” No! Delilah only buried Samson. It was Samson who killed himself.
Before he met Delilah, he was going outside the town to go and sleep with a Harlot.
Whatever evil you have been doing Privately, so that Nobody could see, Please stop it.
- Don’t let God leave you alone.
- Don’t let the One who is in you, the One who has made you More Than Conquerors; don’t let Him leave.
I know there are all kinds of Preaching going on in the world now – I know there are those Preaching that, “Anything you eat does not defile your body; it is what come out of your mouth that can defile your body.”
It is true that it is written.
And I’ve heard some Great Men of God say, as a result of that, smoking is okay.
You can take alcohol, they say it’s okay.
They say whatever you eat, it doesn’t matter.
I am not arguing; but the One that is in me is Holy – The One who is dwelling in you is Holy.
A son of mine – He has gone to be with the Lord now. He died of Old Age. He was a Professor – Very, very Clever Man.
Before he got Born Again, he was addicted to Smoking – The last thing he does before sleeping is to smoke and the first thing he does when he wakes up in the Morning before saying Good Morning to his wife, is to smoke.
Then he became Born Again and he was still smoking.
I tried to explain to him “Sir, you are now a Child of God; old things are passed away, all things are become New” (DMC NOTES: 2 Corinthians 5:17).
He said, thank you Sir.
And I will do whatever is in the Bible – He said, show me where it is written, “Thou shall not smoke.”
I said, sorry Sir, you have caught me there – It is not in the Bible.
I said, may be in those days People were not Smoking.
Show me where it is written, “Thou shall not smoke.” I said, it is not written.
He said, Good! So let’s leave the issue of Smoking alone. Yes Sir!
Then I said one thing; I said, when I was Younger, in my Village; when we want to catch a rodent – A rodent is a very big rabbit. And they live inside holes.
When we want to catch one, as soon as we’ve discovered the hole, we get some dried twig, and push it inside the hole as far as possible, and set it on fire. And then we begin to blow the smoke into the hole.
Very soon, when the whole hole is full of smoke, the rabbit will jump out.
And we would be outside waiting for it.
I said, “Will you like to smoke out the Holy One that is in you?”
You want to breathe in so much smoke to the One that is living in there?
Let us see how much smoke He can take before He would say, I can’t take it anymore.
That was the last day he smoked – Hallelujah!
He said, I’m not going to disturb the One in there – I want Him to stay.
Whatever you have been doing, that you yourself know: This is not Pleasant – This is not what God expects from a True Child of God, stop it now.
Don’t let God leave.
“Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world”.
But what happens if He leaves?
Oh, some Great Bible Scholars would tell me Sir, you have not read your Bible very well.
They say because it is written, the Calling and the Gifts of God are without Repentance. If He has given you any Gift, it’s Permanent.
I said, I know!
The Gifts, the Calling, may remain; but the Giver may leave.
When the Spirit of the Lord left Samson, the Bible told us, even as soon as the Enemies caught him – Because his hairs had been cut off.
Even as the Enemies caught him, his hairs began to grow again.
The Gifts may abide, the Calling might be there; but the Giver may say Goodbye.
You may find an Evangelist who is still going about Performing Miracles, and at the same time, committing Adultery.
The Miracles will continue, because the Miracles are to Glorify God.
… But the Giver might have said Goodbye.
- Like I told you before, Power may go out, but the fan would still be rotating for a while.
- Power may go out, but the water in the fridge would still remain cold for a while.
And almost invariably, the time that the Anointed may realize that God has left him, would be the time when He may need God the most.
Please Beloved children, don’t joke with sin – Don’t let the Power in you that has made you More Than Conquerors; don’t let Him leave, I beg you.
I tremble occasionally when I hear that some People have been taking the Holy Communion every Month with me, and they are still Quarreling.
You can’t do that!
You can’t harbour Bitterness in the same Place where the Holy One is dwelling.
So I am appealing: If you have somebody who has offended you that you have not forgiven up till now;
It is either you make up your Mind, that the very next moment you see the fellow, you are going to apologize.
Or if you have made up your Mind: “No Settlement at all, we would never be friends.”
When they are serving the Bread and Wine, ask them to pass it on.
This is an Awesome moment – This is a moment when the Almighty God wants to enter into you afresh;
It’s a moment when He’s about to Anoint you afresh;
It’s a moment when He’s about to make a Mark on you;
So that the enemy would see you and say, “Hey, you better don’t touch the Anointed of God.
But Please, be careful – Don’t annoy God.
I’ve told some of you before – Whenever we have a Programme, and they say; let us ask for one Major Thing from God; I have only one Prayer for myself: “Father, don’t let me annoy You.”
Because one with God, is always a Majority.
May the Lord Bless You – Amen!
ALTAR CALL

ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
When you eat the Bread Tonight, with every Determination, cry to God: Claim your Total Healing because by His Stripes you are Healed.
Tell the Almighty God, I am not waiting anymore – I want my Total Wholeness Tonight.
When they serve you the Wine, hold on to it until we have all been served.
When it is time to drink the Wine, I will tell you what Prayer to take then.
The Lord Jesus Christ; the very Night in which He was betrayed took the Bread and when He has given Thanks, He broke it saying: Take, Eat; this is my Body broken for you; do this in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
… Go ahead, eat and Pray!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Shall we all Stand Please?
When you drink the Wine tonight, cry to the Almighty God;
Father, Uproot every Plants that You have not Planted in me.
After the same manner also; He took the Cup when He has sup, saying: This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood, Please do ye as oft as you drink it in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Oh, Thank You Father.
Every Plants You have not Planted in me, let it be Uprooted by Fire!
Thank You Father.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
So shall it be, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Let’s be seated; and remain in an attitude of Worship.
ANOINTING SERVICE
As the Oil comes on you Tonight, a bit of the Anointing on me will also come on you.
When you are Anointed, keep on Praising God, and let the Anointing do its work.
Halleluyah!
PERSONAL PRAYER REQUEST
Now that the Oil is still fresh on you, I want you to ask for something Special;
Something Remarkable; something that if God does it for you, you will never forget for Life.

FINAL DECREES AND CLOSING PRAYER
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!
Because of the Power of the Anointing, every Yokes in your Life is destroyed now.
From this moment onward I decree, you’ll be too hot for the enemy to handle.
The enemy will see you coming and run.
Because of the Anointing of the Consuming Fire; the enemy will see you coming and run.
And the Anointing on you today will never run dry.
The Anointing will enable you to work for God.
The Anointing will Advertise you.
The Anointing will direct Helpers to you.
Because of the Anointing Tonight, you will find Favour with God.
You will find Favour with Men.
Because of the Presence of God with Joseph Potiphar’s house was Prospering.
Because of you; because of the Anointing you are carrying:
Your Families will Prosper.
