SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND PRAYER FOR VOLUNTEERS OF ENOCH’S ARMY
Tonight I want to seize this opportunity to Pray for a very Special Group of People – The People that has come to be known as “ENOCH’S ARMY”.
About three and half (3½) ago, I made a request for a handful of People:
I. Who would dedicate themselves to Fast and Pray for me whenever I feel that the occasion demands for me to call on them.
II. That they would be dedicated to engage in three (3) Days Fasting and Prayers for me towards the Monthly Holy Ghost Service.
III. That they would also Fast and Pray for the Special Holy Ghost Service, Convention and Congress.
I requested for a thousand People but at the end of the day; I got more than twenty six thousand (26,000) Volunteers.
And they have been Faithfully carrying out their duties.
It occurred to me on this occasion, why don’t I Pray for them?
I should at least acknowledge them, and Pray for them Publicly.
So if you are a Member of Enoch Army, and you are here, come forward so that I can Pray for you Publicly.
I think we should give the Lord a Big round of applause.
I want to Thank God for your lives. I want to Thank God for your Steadfastness. and I want to Thank God for your Faithfulness.
I want to let you know that God knows your Labour; and He knows what you are doing;
And according to the Law of Harvest, everything that you are doing will be Rewarded.
Many atimes when I don’t feel like Praying – You may not believe that the reason I am able to relax at such a Period is because I know that I have an Army Fasting, Praying, and Interceding for me.
SPECIAL DECREES
None of you will fail!
You will never grow tired.
You will always be Overcomers.
My God will Support you.
He will Help you.
He will Protect you.
He Promote you.
He will make You Triumphant.
In all areas of your Life, He will lift you up.
He will answer your Prayer for me.
He will answer your Prayer for your Home.
He will answer your Prayer in every facet of Life.
It shall be well with you!
You will not be disappointed.
You will always be Overcomers.
I will see you in Heaven.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Thank you very much.
God Bless Enoch’s Army!
Keep on Praying.

HYMN:

- RCCG Hymn 103
*We learned this Morning (DMC NOTES: Day 2 Morning Session) that:
I. The One who dwells in us is the One who made us Overcomers.
II. We also learned that Jesus Christ is Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Why don’t you lift your voice to Him and call Him those wonderful Names.
You are the same God yesterday, today and for ever.
May Your Name for ever be Glorified.
Thank You Lord!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.
OPENING PRAYER
And so Father Almighty, we Thank You.
Thank You for that Wonderful Name, Jesus.
How Sweet is that Name to my ear.
How Sweet to know, that as long as You are in me, I have only Hope of Glory.
How Sweet to know, that because You dwell in us, we will never be ashamed.
Father, accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name.
Please, continue with us tonight; and let Your Name be Glorified again.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Shake hands with one fellow one more time and say: Thank God for Jesus!
Please be seated.
Our Theme is “The Overcomers’.
And the Main Bible Text is 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.
In the Morning we discussed:
- Who is He that is in us? And we discovered that it is Jesus indwelling us.
- We discovered His Name.
And tonight we want to take a look at that aspect that says, “… Greater is He that is IN me.”
We want to look at “His Dwelling Place – Where He dwells.”
Isaiah 6:1-3 gives us a glimpse into where God loves to dwell.
1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a Throne, High and lifted up, and his train filled the Temple.
2 Above it stood the Seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of Hosts: the whole Earth is full of his Glory.
Where God likes to dwell is described Basically in Seven (7) Ways:
- It is described as High and Exalted – “I saw also the LORD sitting upon a Throne, high and lifted up” (Isaiah 6:1).
- In Isaiah 57:15; where He dwells is called High and Holy.
For thus saith the High and lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the High and Holy Place, with him also that is of a contrite and Humble Spirit, to revive the Spirit of the Humble, and to revive the Heart of the contrite ones.
- Where He wants to dwell must be Clean.
In Deuteronomy 23:14, it tells us that the Lord our God is walking in the midst of our Camp.
“For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy Camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine Enemies before thee; therefore shall thy Camp be Holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.”
And so He insists that our Camp must be Holy; so He’ll see no unclean things among us.
That is why we take Sanitation so serious during our Conventions – And no matter how many we are, the Camp must be kept Clean.
- In Matthew 5:8, Where God dwells is described as being Pure. “Blessed are the Pure in Heart: for they shall see God.”
- Where He loves to dwell must be full of Praises.
In Psalm 22:3, the Bible says He inhabits in Praises of His People.
- In Malachi 3:6, where He dwells must be Constant.
He is Constantly at Home.
He is not at home today, and has travelled tomorrow – He is always at Home.
When Elijah was mocking the Prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 28:27; And it came to pass at Noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is Pursuing, or he is in a journey, or Peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
The Habitation of God is Constant.
After all Malachi 3:6 says, For I am the LORD, I Change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
- In 1 Samuel 4:4, the Bible says He dwells between the Cherubim.
So the People sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD of Hosts, which dwelleth between the Cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the Ark of the Covenant of God.
… But He dwells in us!
The reason we have tried to look at where He loves to dwell is so that we will take a look into our Hearts: because He says He is dwelling in us.
- Are we worthy to be indwelt by God?
- Since He has chosen to dwell in us, what must the condition of our Hearts be?
That is, if He is to stay in us: considering that His Dwelling Place is High and Exalted.
Paul advises us in Colossians 3:1-10; He said we must focus on things above, not on things beneath;
Our hearts, our thoughts; must be on Spiritual things, Heavenly things – Not things on Earth.
Remember He says in John 12:32 – And I, if I be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all men unto me.
That tells you the Power of Testimony – You are lifting Jesus High when you are Constantly Singing Glorious Things about the Lord Jesus Christ; when you are lifting up His Name.
Testimonies are to Showcase the Goodness and the Mercies of God.
His Habitation must be Holy; and the reason is simple – In 1 Peter 1:14-17 he says, As Obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your Ignorance: But as he which hath called you is Holy, so be ye Holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye Holy; for I am Holy.
You cannot expect God who is Holy to continue to dwell in Unholy Habitation – He expects your heart to be Holy so He can dwell there.
This is the reason for Sanctification.
This is the reason why He says you must get a New Heart; because your old Heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (DMC NOTES: Jeremiah 17:9).
So He says, I’ll give you a New Heart of flesh – A Heart that is one hundred Percent committed to doing the Will of God.
His Habitation must be Clean.
Psalm 24:3-5 says, Who shall ascend into the Hill of the LORD? or who shall Stand in his Holy Place? He that hath Clean hands, and a Pure Heart; who hath not lifted up his Soul unto Vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the Blessing from the LORD, and Righteousness from the God of his Salvation.
God expects our hands to be Clean.
In 2 Corinthians 6:17 He says, Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the Inclean Thing; and I will receive you.
He is very Particular about Cleanliness; Particularly of your Heart.
Some of you remembered the Testimony of a Sister who had been Praying for years: “Lord, use me for Your Glory.”
One day she wanted to use the Toilet in one of the Universities; and it was during water Shortage.
She was pressed and really needed to ease herself.
When she opened the first Toilet, it was filled with feaces, the second and third also were very dirty and so she couldn’t ease herself there.
As she was walking outside, suddenly God spoke: My daughter, I thought you wanted to use the Restroom. Why did you not use it again?
“Lord, it is very dirty!”
God said to her – I also want to use you; but you are too dirty.
You know, many atimes God speaks to you when you are not expecting.
And I Pray God will speak to somebody Tonight – Amen.
God said to her, I cannot use you because you are too dirty.
And the dirtiness God was talking about is the dirtiness of the Soul.
And then the Bible says, the Place God wants to dwell in must be Pure.
You may think: “What is the difference between Holy and being Pure? Are they not the same thing?”
Pure means Undiluted:
- When we talk about Pure Wool, it is Wool and Wool alone.
- When you say Pure Cotton, it is Cotton and Cotton alone.
God is always talking about Pure – Pure Gold, Pure Silver.
Pure – Undiluted, Unmixed.
In Exodus 20:3-6, the very first Command is that: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
In Matthew 6:24 He said, No man can serve two Masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
I remember the Story of a woman who was trusting God for the fruit of the womb, when we were still in the very first Auditorium.
She came during the Convention of that Year, she left, and came the following year with a Challenge for us.
She said all the People we Prayed for became Pregnant, why is her own different.
She said, “they told me if you Pray for me I’ll fall under the Anointing – I fell but I am still here without a child.”
And suddenly God spoke and said: Ask her, how many boy friends has she apart from her husband?
I Pray for Someone here today, whatever is Standing between you and your Breakthrough, may the Almighty God Reveal to You – Amen.
She stammered when I asked her the Question.
I said, Woman, how many concubines do you have?
I’m sorry aa, it’s God who said I should ask you the Question.
And she said, Six (6)!
- Do you expect God to answer such a Prayer?
- Who is going to be the father of the Baby?
Pure, Undiluted!
As a Minister, you have to be Holy, Pure, remain focused and stop seeking after Promotion.
When Papa – My father-in-the-Lord told me I was going to be Ordained a Pastor, my wife and I Fasted for two (2) weeks; that God will cause him to Change his Mind.
We came to serve the Lord, and not for Ordination.
The Bible says in Psalms 34:1, I will bless the LORD at all times: his Praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Because He inhabits the Praises of His People, where He dwells must be full of Praises.
I remember the Testimony of a Sister;
Within a short Period of time – I think about one week or so, she lost her job.
And then as she was driving home, Armed Robbers waylaid her and took her car, her kitchen too caught fire.
Then it was Thanksgiving Sunday, and she danced like Nobody else.
When they said, how can all these things be happening to you, and you are still Praising God?
She said:
- I lost my job, not my Life.
- They stole my car, not my Salvation.
- My kitchen caught fire, but I’m not going to Hell.
She said, the devil has done his worse, but I am still here and Healthy.
Is there anybody here who would say, in spite of everything:
I. How good is my God?
II. How Supportive, in spite of everything.
Glory be to God!
The Bible says, In every thing give Thanks: for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (DMC NOTES: 1 Thessalonians 5:18).
The Dwelling Place of God must be Constant.
Constant means, as Solid as Concrete.
Psalm 108:1 says, O God, my Heart is fixed; I will sing and give Praise, even with my Glory.
I am not going to Praise Him just in the Morning, Afternoon or Night. No! He said, my Heart is fixed within me, and I will Praise the Lord.
My Heart is fixed, I am His Son (Daughter).
When I consider the Dwelling Place of God and I look at my Heart; and I try to think of the cost of making sure He stays with me: I was compelled to feel that God being in me and staying in me might be a bit expensive.
My heart is Constantly lifted:
I. Making sure His abode is kept Holy.
II. Making sure my Heart is Clean.
Considering the several things that some People do to cause you to want to deal with them; respond to them:
- Keeping the Camp Clean of Evil Thoughts.
- Keeping the Camp Pure.
- Focusing on Heaven and Heaven alone.
- Keeping your Heart: always full of Gratitude, etc.
It may seem like an Expensive Price, but then when you consider the Alternative:
- If you think Holiness is Expensive, try Unholiness.
- If you think of the Cost of how to be a Champion and remain a Champion; consider the Pain of being an Ex-Champion.
I’m sure if you had an opportunity to meet with Samson after they Plucked out his eyes, put him in chain, and kept him in Prison.
They cause him to die before idols.
When asked, “where is your God?” He said God, Death is better than Shame.
I will tell you a Story and then release you to Pray.
Many of you know Brother Sam? At least you’ve heard about him.
He was a Young Man, and highly Anointed. He wasn’t Educated, but he was Anointed.
When Brother Sam is Praying for you, he can tell you how the Sickness is leaving your body.
He raised at least three (3) People back to Life.
When you talk about Tongues, Brother Sam was on another Level.
He was invited to a Teachers’ Training College to Minister – He said he would tell them when he gets there that he cannot speak English, and that they should give him an Interpreter.
But when he opened his mouth, Beautiful English began to come out.
He Preached for one hour – He saw People coming out to Surrender their lives to Jesus; then he realized that it must be an Altar Call.
He was Good!
Then Pride set in:
Brother Sam, let’s go for Bible Study.
He’ll ask, “who is going to Preach? Has he raised the dead before?”
Brother Sam ended up in an Asylum – He became mad.
Because when God leaves you, Satan takes over.
When you think of the cost of being an Overcomer; Holiness, Purity, Cleanliness, etc; you better remember the cost of being an Ex-Champion.
I’ve told you that I used to be a Boxer.
When you are the Champion, everywhere you go People hail you – Hey Champ!
And you will be waving at them.
The moment you become an Ex-Champion, they see you coming they turn heir faces;
They don’t want to share in your Shame.
If Christ in you means the Hope of Glory? What does Christ out of you mean?
I beg you Tonight, Pray! Call on the Almighty God:
- You have made me an Overcomer.
- You have made me a Champion.
- You have put a Crown on my Head;
Don’t let me lose my Crown.
Please, never leave me alone.
I will see you tomorrow.
God Bless You!
