OPENING PRAYER
Ancient of Days, we Worship You.
The Beginning and the Ending, we bow before You.
The King of Glory, the Lord of Host, the Lord Strong and Mighty, the Lord Mighty in Battle – We Worship You.
Accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Father, we are here Today to Dedicate this Building to You:
We are Praying that from this moment onwards this Building will become a Miracle Center.
If they bring the Sick here, let the Sick be Healed.
If they bring the Dead here, let the Dead rise.
If the Barren comes here to Worship, let the Barren becomes Fruitful.
If the Stagnant comes here to Worship, let the Stagnant begins to Prosper.
Whatever any Prayer anybody Prays in this Temple; answer by Fire.
And Father, let the Miracle begins now.
Even as we Dedicate Building to You in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell him/her: “I am on Overcomer you know”.
And then, you may Please be seated – God Bless You!
Thank you Choir – I know that they are rushing you and that is why they didn’t allow you to sing your Special Number.
You will sing it after I have gone and I will hear it in the Spirit.
Today is a Day of Joy!
And the Bible says that: “The Joy of the Lord is our Strength” (DMC NOTES: Nehemiah 8:10).
Yes, at a time like this; I should be lying on my bed resting.
Because many People thinks that the Convention started at the day they all Gathered together over there.
But for Somebody like me, the Convention started weeks before – We have Prepared: We have Fasted, we have Prayed and we did Night Vigils.
And when finally it was over, you are so glad that at least you can Sleep and wake up knowing that there is no Program this Evening and Nobody is coming from India to complain about something.
Then for Someone to say: Come out and Dedicate a Church? You will say: Let the Church wait as it is already built.
But when Sola Balogun says come; you can’t say No.
The Favour Family (DMC NOTES: Formerly called Apapa Family) is a Special Family!
And she was talking about “The Earlier Days” – Most of the People there at that time were also here now even though I can hardly recognise them!
How do they say it? Probably the most troublesome Child in the family is the One that you will Love the most.
And they say that I Placate them (DMC NOTES: To Placate Someone means to stop them from being angry by giving them something or doing something that Pleases them).
Here is an Ordinary Pastor and he is Surrounded by big Men or Women – Great Engineers, Great Lawyers and Great Bankers.
And so, when we are talking and I say: “I think this is the way it is”; and they begin to argue with me, I will say that I may be the one likely to be wrong.
But we were “So Gentle” – If that is the word you want to use with them because we saw into the Future.
We saw that this a little bit of unruly Children are going to be Great Men and Women of God in the Future.
And you can see them Today – You find them all over the world doing Mighty Things.
I mean there was this tiny Young boy who started work in this Area – Today, he is in Charge of Australia and New Zealand (DMC NOTES: Pastor Ibukunolu Williams – Continental Overseer, Continent 8 Australia, Pacific).
I’m just saying that because it will be a Lesson to you who are Parents.
Even as you are Training your Children, remember the Proverbs of the Elders – You cane your Child with the Right Hand and you draw him close with the Left Hand.
DMC NOTES: The Yoruba adage says “Ta ba fi owo otun ba omo wi, a ma fi t’ osi fa mora” – Scold/Correct a Child with the Right Hand, and then draw him closer with the Left Hand.
Because these Children represents your Future, handle them well and your Future will be alright!
If you let them break loss, you will regret it!
Today, I am not regretting loving “The Favour Family” at all.
And Sola Balogun was called “The Mother of the Church”.
It was Pastor Mfor Eskor of Blessed Memory that was “The Father of the Church”.
And in case you don’t know all the Stories; well there might be no other time to tell all these Stories.
I went on Holidays to Singapore – And it is very far in case you don’t know.
And “The Father of the Church”, Pastor Mfor Eskor sent “The Mother of the Church”, Sola Balogun to travel all the way to Singapore so that she can Prepare me Nigerian Foods over there.
There are certain things that you don’t forget!
There is food in Singapore – Chinese Food. And those People knows how to cook.
But when you eat Chinese Food in the Morning, Afternoon and Evening; suddenly when you find something that looks like Pounded Yam – It will surely be different.
So Congratulations my Daughter – I am Rejoicing with you!
It will be well with you – Amen!
Let me tell you – This Building is Beautiful!
And it is not only Beautiful; let me tell you that I have not seen any other Building like this in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
… This is the first of its kind!
So well done!
Psalm 122:1:
David said: “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the House of the Lord”.
☆ Glad when they said: “Let us come and Dedicate a Church”.
☆ Glad when on Sunday – As tired as you may be; instead of staying in bed, you want to go into the House of the Lord.
Why did David said that?
If you look at Psalm 16:11; the Bible tells us that: “In the Presence of the Lord, there is Fullness of Joy”.
May I decree to all of you who are here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC: From now on, your Joy will be Full – Amen!
Fullness of Joy can only be found in the House of God!
The Bible says: You are to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep (DMC NOTES: Romans 12:15).
But that is for those Outside the Church – When you are in the Presence of the Lord, your Joy is Full.
And I will just take a Story in Mark 2: 1-12 to illustrate that if only you can get into the Presence of God, your Joy will become Full.
It is the Story of a Man that you know very well who was Paralysed from neck downwards.
And his friends heard that Jesus Christ was in the House and they decided that if only we can get this Man into the House, then our Joy will be Full.
By the time that they arrived, there were several other People like them wanting to hear from Jesus Christ and so the doors and windows jammed with People.
They climbed to the roof, broke the roof and lowered this Man down into the Presence of God.
And several things happened that Day that is going to happen here Today:
- The Man who was Paralysed from neck downwards, means that his hands were useless.
But because he got into the House of the Lord that Day, the Hands became Useful again.
The Implications of that is this:
I. If your Hands has not been making the kind of Achievements that you should be making.
II. If you have been working like an Elephant and eating like an Ant.
That ends Today because once you get into the Presence of the Most High, He will Transform everything your Hand will do – Anything that you touch will suddenly begin to Prosper!
You have an illustration in Luke 5: 1-7.
The Bible tells us that Peter fished All-Night and caught Nothing.
Do you know what that means?
All-Night long, he will throw the Net and pull it out empty. And he will try again and again with Nothing to show for it.
There are many of us here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC who has been working hard – Not Lazy at all.
We have been doing everything that we were taught to do and there is Nothing to show for it.
And that is not your fault – It is just because the Hand had become Handicapped.
But when you come into the Presence of God, the Hand that has become Handicapped, will suddenly discovered like Peter threw the Net one more time, and the Breakthrough that will be recorded for Generation to come will suddenly surface.
I am decreeing to everyone of you – From now on, because you are here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC: Everything you touch will Prosper!
- Suddenly, this Man whose Legs has been useless because he was Paralysed from neck downwards suddenly found out that the Legs can get up and he can begin to walk.
When you come into the House of the Lord, the Ability to make “Rapid Progress” will be made available to you.
When you read Acts 3:1-8; it will tell you the Story of a Man who was born Lame.
And the People were Wise – They took him to the Temple, thinking that the People going to Church will be Tendered Hearted, so this Man can at least get something to eat.
But it is at that Place in the Presence of God that his Breakthrough came.
When it came, the Bible tells us that not only did his ankle bones received Strength and not only was he walking; the Bible says that he walking and Leaping at the same time.
When you Leap, that means that you get to Heights that normally you won’t get to.
And then Praising God.
May I decree In the Name of the One that sent me: From now on:
I. You will be Leaping – Amen.
II. You will be Skipping Promotions – Amen.
III. You will be getting Higher and Higher – Amen.
- When you get into the Presence of God, your Faith becomes Honoured.
The Bible says that Jesus saw that Faith.
When we talk about some People – When some Preachers wants to talk to you and they want to tell you that the reason(s) why your Prayers has not been answered is because you have no Faith.
You say: Ha, I come to Church and you say that I don’t have Faith? I have Faith o:
I. When I get into the Church, the chair that I sit on, I don’t check it before I sit on it.
Why? Because you have Faith in the one who made the chair – That whosoever constructed this chair know his/her job.
II. You don’t have Faith? You travelled from your house to a Place like this in Lagos – With all the Kidnappers on the way and all the Accidents that could happen?
You had Faith to know that: “I will go in Peace and I will return in Peace”.
When you read Mark 5: 25-34; it tells you the Story of the woman with the Issue of Blood who had tried all Doctors and all of them had failed.
When she heard that Jesus Christ was Passing by, there was something in her that told her that if only you can just touch the Hem of His Garment; you will be made Whole.
She did and her Faith was Honoured.
That you have come to the Presence of God Today:
I. That Faith that brought you out of bed to come to Church.
II. That Faith that says don’t watch this thing on Dove TV Media.
Go and be there yourself?
That Faith will be Honoured Today – Amen.
Anything that you asked God Today; before the Sun Sets; it is going to become a Testimony – Amen!
- The Man who was carried in was a Burden – Imagine four (4) People had to carry one (1) Fellow.
But on that Day – Because he got into the Presence of the One that the Bible called “The Burden Bearer”; he was never a Burden again.
Isaiah 53:4 says that He is the One who has carried away our Burdens and Sorrows.
They carried him in but he walked out himself.
There are some of us: People may not tell us but quietly they regards us as a Burden because we look up to them for Help – This and that.
There are some of us: Unless they pass down the dress of our Uncle or Aunty, we will be wearing the same dress every Sundays.
But I have Good News for you: Because you came; you will never be a Burden again – Amen!
Because all you need for you to cease to be a Burden is just one Breakthrough – One Miracle and you are not going to depend on anybody for anything again!
And do you know that your own Day for that Breakthrough is Today?
If you ask those who follow me everywhere; they will tell you that occasionally they will just hear on Saturday Evening that we are going to so and so Place. And they will be looking at themselves.
Why? Because they know that I always Plan far ahead.
Oh, everything that is going to happen in the coming Year (2026) is already detailed out in my Program since the Month of June 2025.
But occasionally, there are things that I did not Plan for that God will say that you are going to that Place.
I always tell the People when I get there that you are not in my Timetable but I am here.
And the reason can only be that there is Someone whose Miracles can no longer wait.
Is there anybody like that here or reading now on the Label of DMC?
Yes, for the DMC Family Members!
I had no idea that this Building will be ready for Dedication this Year (2025).
As a matter of fact, the Letter that says: “Daddy, Please our Building is ready o – Come and Dedicate it”; is less than three (3) Weeks ago.
When I got the Letter, the Natural reaction is to say: No Problem, put that aside. Let them continue to use it; when I want to come, I will come.
Or I call one of this Great Elders here – The National Overseer Emeritus (DMC NOTES: Referring to Pastor J.O Obayemi) or National Overseer (DMC NOTES: Referring to Pastor Sunday Akande) or any of the Continental Overseers to go and represent me.
I heard Mummy saying that the Dedication of some People’s Church will be very soon – I was just smiling,
Why? She can go and represent me.
DMC NOTES: You can get to read Mummy GO Greetings at this Dedication Service on this Link:
But when God says that you must go, it is because there is Someone just as the Widow of Zarepheth whose Miracles can no longer wait.
If you are that Fellow, receive your Miracle now!
All you need is just one Breakthrough!
Let me remind just one Story to let you know how God works:
There was this Arab boy who gave his Life to Jesus Christ.
And if you see what they do to People who gives their lives to Jesus Christ in some of these Arab Countries, you will shiver.
So this boy, knowing that he has decided to follow Jesus Christ and that Death was on the way; he ran away from home.
One way or the other, he managed to get to London – And because he had no Papers, he couldn’t secured a good job and was working in a Fast food Restaurant.
And then because the Man who employed him was aware that he has no Papers, he was being treated like Nobody. And he couldn’t complain as he was Paid very little.
But this boy was determined that I will serve the Lord.
Then one day, his Day came!
A very rich Arab Man came to London loaded with Money – He wanted to buy houses but he couldn’t speak Good English and didn’t know the ways of the English (DMC NOTES: The British).
He will see a beautiful house and just go there and say: Who is the Owner? And the Owner will say Yes, what can I do for you?
He will say: “House, me, buy”.
That one will say: Stupid Fellow, get away from here? Who told you that I want to sell my house?
So, he has been going around and saying: “House, me, buy”.
And then, he became tired.
Then he saw a Restaurant by the Food Sign on it – They will draw the Picture of the food and so on.
So he went in and sat at a Table.
And while they were trying to serve him, he was grumbling in Arabic – What is wrong with these Stupid People? I want to buy House and they won’t sell.
This boy came to serve him and heard him speaking – And he spoke back to him in Arabic: Hope Nothing is wrong?
Oh, you speak my Language? The boy said Yes.
And you speak English? The boy said Yes.
Please can you be my Interpreter?
The boy said No – If I miss my job here, what will I eat after you have gone?
The Arab Man said that I will Pay you a Million Pounds for a Day – And I will need your Service for only three (3) days.
The boy said: Wait o, don’t go.
He went to the Owner of the Restaurant: Bye bye.
That one said: What do you mean by bye bye? He said that I am going.
If you go and you come back, I won’t employ you?
He said that I will never come back.
I decree to Somebody here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC: That Breakthrough that will make you no longer a Burden for Life; receive it Today – Amen!
- When you go to the House of God, there you will hear: “Your sins are Forgiven”.
Because when they dropped that Man before the Lord Jesus Christ, the first thing that He said was: “Son, your sins are Forgiven”.
There is Nothing to be compared to “The Joy of Salvation”.
Oh, the Bible talks about it in Psalm 35:9 – That about Joy of Salvation
Psalm 35:9 – And my Soul shall be Joyful in the LORD: It shall rejoice in his Salvation.
In Psalm 51:12 – Restore to me the Joy of Salvation.
That is why if you are coming to the House of the Lord and if you are seeking Jesus Christ for Money; then you are in the wrong Place.
Because you can get the Money outside – The devil knows how to give you Money.
☆ Yahoo Yahoo is there.
☆ You can kidnap Somebody that you know that the Family is rich and become a Millionaire Overnight.
That is why I told some of my Children- I say: Hey, you better take good care of your father o.
Because if Kidnappers discovered that the one they kidnapped is Pastor E.A Adeboye; they won’t ask you for one hundred Million Naira.
They will just count the Number of People in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and they will say if you want to bring your Man in the next Holy Ghost Service, you better bring so much.
And in any case, if you come to Church because of Money as I said during the Convention – You brought Nothing in and so you will take Nothing out.
Money is just for now!
The most important thing is the Salvation of your Souls and the Forgiveness of your Sin!
And you get it in the Presence of God – Because His Name is Saviour!
Matthew 1:20 says: You shall call His Name Jesus Christ because He will save the People from their sins.
The most important thing is that when you get into the Presence of God, there is Salvation there!
I don’t know about others – But the Joy that I knew when I gave my Life to Jesus Christ, there is nothing that I can compare to it – Not at all!
I came to the Church because I had a Problem – And I was told that if I come to The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); they will Pray for you and the Problem will be Solved.
I came – And they will Preach their Sermon.
And I was coming from Solid Anglican Background – And the way of their doing things here is a bit different.
Where I was comimg from was a Cathedral – The Reverend will read the Prayers that was read this time Laat Year. And then if you are not sleeping by the time he finished reading, you will say Amen.
And the Amen will be said Solemnly – You know that in the Presence of God, everything must be done decently and in order.
Those of you who are from the Anglican Background – You understand.
I am from Anglican Background – And I Thank God for my Heritage.
And then I find myself among the Pentecostals – The Original ones.
Do you think that you can make a Noise? You don’t know anything.
When I was there on that first Day, everything was okay.
Then they started singing their Songs – I didn’t know it but I was making a Joyful Noise with them.
But then, it was Prayer Time – And when the Man leading the Prayer say: “In the Name of Jesus”; the Amen of the Man next to me was so loud that I nearly ran out of the Church.
… The Amen was enough to drive out any Demon!
I was enduring it because I wanted a Miracle.
And when they finished their “Beautiful Sermon”; they will say those of you who wants to give their lives to Jesus should come.
Do something about my Problem – But they never mentioned that.
But then one day, it just came to me – They are asking me to Surrender to God my Maker, what is bad in that? I think I will Surrender.
So I went for the Altar Call and I gave my Life to Jesus Christ.
Oh God, I had a Joy!
The Problem was still there but I had a Joy so Mighty that when I got to the University of Lagos (Unilag) the following day; I saw my Head of Department (HOD) – Professor Chike Obi of Blessed Memory.
He saw the way I greeted him and he looked at me and said: Enoch Adeboye, and I said sir.
You attended a Party Last Weekend? I said No sir; but I have gotten Invitation to a Party:
☆ I know now that I am on my way to Heaven.
☆ I know now that whatever might be the Problem I am having here on Earth, there is a Place waiting for me – The Place where the Joy will never cease and the Land of the Endless Day.
I knew so much Joy – That is why I could understand:
Nowadays when we ask People to come for the Salvation of their Souls – Do you know that some of them come so that they can take my Picture?
I came that day Weeping and in Sorrow but I went back home with Joy as I have never seen.
There is something called “The Joy of Salvation”.
If you don’t feel that Joy when you said that you gave your Life to Jesus Christ, then something is missing.
If you truly gave your Life to Jesus Christ; one of the ways of finding out that you got your Salvation is that the Joy will be there.
In those days, when we go to attend a Meeting and there is a Break and they want to bring us together again; there is only one Chorus that will cause everybody to be running back into the Assembly:
SONG
Only Jesus can save
Hallelujah
Only Jesus can save
Hallelujah
Before they sing that Song twice, we will all rush in.
There is something about Salvation – There is Joy in Salvation that is more than anything the world can ever offer you.
And you get it in the Presence of God.
ALTAR CALL
So this Morning, I have already decreed to you the Mighty Things that God will do for you because you came.
I. I have decreed that whatever your Hands touches from now on will Prosper.
II. I have decreed that from now on that your Promotion will be Accelerated.
III. I have decreed that your Faith will be Honoured.
IV. I have decreed that you will no longer be a Burden anymore.
And I am begging you – Don’t miss the Biggest of them all.
If you are not sure of your Salvation, come and Stand before the Altar.
Let us Pray and ask God to give you the kind of Salvation that He gave me (Pasror E.A Adeboye):
That Joy that has been bubbling in me since 1973 that is still there Pushing me all around.
Come and ask for that kind of Salvation.
And if you are Backsliden and if you have Lost that Joy of Salvation; come as the Lord is willing to take you back and give you that Joy again.
So, I am going to count from one (1) to seven (7) – If you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ and you want to experience the Joy of Salvation or you want that Joy back; come before I say seven (7).
I am counting now!
Those of you on the way and the ones already infront; I want you to cry to the Almighty God:
And ask Him to have Mercy on you, save your Soul, forgive you all your sins and give you a Brand New Beginning.
Tell Him to give you the kind of Salvation that He gave to Pastor E.A Adeboye.
Ask Him for the Genuine Salvation – The one that will be filling you with Joy and the One that will allow you to live above sin so that you can serve God alone from now now.
And the rest of us: Stretch your Hands to these People and Please Intercede for them.
Pray that the One who saved your Soul will safe their own Souls also.
That they too will now begin to know the Joy of Salvation.
Thank You Father!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Words and I want to Thank You for these People who has come forward to Surrender their lives to You.
Father, Please remember Your Promise that whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out.
They have come to You now, Father Please receive them, be Merciful unto them, forgive all their sins, let Your Blood wash them Clean, save their Souls Today and write their names into the Book of Life.
And Please Lord, receive then into the Family of God.
And anytime they call you from now on, answer them by Fire.
And give them the Grace to serve You.
All the Backsliders who has returned to You; Please restore them and don’t let them ever Backslide again.
And I Pray that in Your Kingdom, we will be there together to reign with You.
Thank You Almighty God.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Everyone of us: If you believed that Today is your Day; Stand on your Feet and shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
I am going to Pray for you and then you are going to Pray one very Special Prayer for yourself.
FINAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS
My Father and my God, I want to Thank You once again for sending me here Today.
Thank You for those People whose Miracles can no longer wait.
I Thank You very, very much!
Please accept my Thanks in Jesus Name.
For all these Your Children, let this Day be the Day:

Their Day of Victory
Their Day of Joy
Their Day of Progress
Their Day of Special Anointing
Please Lord God Almighty, this Day give them their Breakthrough.
Very soon when I hear from them, let them be Full of Mighty Testimonies
And let this Day be a Day that they will never forget.
And I Pray that in Your Kingdom, when I look back; I will see all of them.
Thank You Almighty God.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
