Proverbs 22:29; Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before Kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Someone in Particular among us, God is Probably trying to tell you one of the Major Secrets of Divine Intervention.
There is what the Bible calls a Set of Kings.
In Mathematics, when certain Numbers have the same Laws, you put them together as a Set.
For Example:
- Any Number that can be divisible by two is called the Set of Even Numbers.
- Any number, no matter how large; if it cannot be divisible by two, it belongs to the Set of Odd Numbers.
God says there is a Set of Kings – There are Kings of Industry, there are Political Kings, etc.
I remember the first time in my Life in 1975 – Quite a lot happened in my Life in 1975:
- It is interesting that I was Ordained a Pastor on the 14th of September 1975.
- And on the 14th of September (a couple of days ago) was our 58th Wedding Anniversary down to the date.
In September 1975, I attended a World Conference of Applied Mathematicians – Mathematicians came from all over the world. There were two (2) of us sent to represent Nigeria and this small boy was there.
My head was in the Clouds.
And at that time, I have written about twelve (12) Articles in the World Journal.
On the Opening Day, the man who was to give the Opening Address; when they introduced him, he had Published a hundred and fifty (150) Papers.
When he started talking I said to myself, “What am I doing here?” And he was talking about the Mathematics of the Rain.
He was a King – He was an Academic King.
… And I hope you get the Point I am making?
There is a Set of Kings.
Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, Where the word of a King is, there is Power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
You can join the Set of Kings.
But you also need to know that there’s is a Set of Ordinary men – The Bible calls them “Mean Men.” It calls them Multitude.
Life is like a Pyramid – Big at the bottom, very narrow at the top.
When you read the entire Story of the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, you would discovered that most of the time when He Performed a Major Miracle, one fellow out of the Multitude, gets a Miracle.
In Matthew 8:1-3, He was coming down from a Mountain, a Multitude followed Him. But only a Leper got a Miracle.
You know we are talking about Divine Intervention.
In Mark 10:46-52, when He was passing by Jericho, Multitudes followed Him. It was one fellow (Blind Bartimeaus) who got a Miracle.
In Specific cases where Jesus Performed Miracles, Multitudes were there – Only one fellow got a Miracle.
In the Story of the Man that they broke the roof to bring him to the Presence of the Lord Jesus Christ (DMC NOTES Mark 2:1-12); the reason they couldn’t get in through the door was because of the Multitudes.
At the Pool of Bethesda, when one fellow who had been there for thirty eight (38) years got his Healing, Multitudes were there.
So, we Ministers of God have gathered today, who is the one to get a Miracle? The DMC Family Members.
Life is like a Pyramid.
When you Study 2 Kings 2:1-15, you would notice that when Elijah was to be taken away from the Earth, everywhere he went there were Sons of the Prophet.
Elijah said to Elisha: Hey, my son wait here God has sent me from Gilga to Bethel; you will find Sons of the Prophet – Which would be an adequate name to describe Ministers.
But when they were crossing River Jordan to the Point of Final Departure, there is a Multitude in Jericho – There are Sons of the Prophet, there is the Prophet, and there is someone who was going to get a Double Portion of what the Prophet was carrying.
Everything is like a Pyramid.
We are not talking of Titles now. Because it is possible to be a Deacon, and be far, far higher than a Pastor.
Let’s take this illustration: On one ocassion one of the Nigerian’s Presidents was to be Sworn-In. And of course I was in Abuja (DMC NOTES: The Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria).
Suddenly one Man of God came to me, he was excited: Daddy, I got an Invitation to attend the Inauguration. He said, see my Card.
And on the Card was written Letter ‘A.’
Because there were Cards with Letters B, C, etc.
Letter ‘A?’ I said, congratulations! He was happy.
It wasn’t long after that, another Man of God came in: Daddy, I got an Invitation, look at my Card.
On the Card was written Letter ‘AA’ – And of course that means you’ll get closer access to the President.
So the Man who got the Card with Letter ‘A’ cool down very fast.
While we were still celebrating with the man with Letter ‘AA’ a third fellow came in: Daddy, I got an Invitation, look at my Card, Letter ‘AAA’.
After a while one of them said, by the way Daddy, where is your Card? What is written on your own Card?
And I told them, I don’t need a Card. They will be happy if I show up.
How high do you want to climb?
One English Poet wrote a Poem (if you can call it a Poem), it says: “The Height by which Great Men reach are kept; But they, while their Companions slept were toiling upward in the Night.”
He memorized that in 1957.
How would you guarantee that God will keep on intervening in your Life? Until you stand before Kings.
One word – Diligence – “Seesth thou a man diligent…”
Some of us in our little corners, we think that we are working for God. The truth of the matter is, you are working for yourself.
So, if you are working hard, it’s for your own Promotion.
If you are toying with Assignment, don’t blame God if you end up among Mean Men.
That is why I was surprised when somebody said to me some years ago: “I can’t serve the father and serve the son. I have been serving you for so long.”
I said, you mean it’s me you’ve been serving all these years? Oh God, what a Loser! I thought we are all serving God on the same Platform.
What can I give you?
The Ordination time comes, we pour Oil on your head, lay hands on you – That’s the Maximum we can do for you.
If God does not Ordain you, you are not Ordained.
If God has no hand in your Ordination, you have just poured some Oil on your head, and that’s where it ends.
If the right head is not there to receive the Oil, you’ve just wasted Good Oil.
If we are doing this work as if we are working for the General Overseer; or we are working for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), we are wasting our time.
You can’t afford to waste your Life – We are serving God.
He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 11:6).
Why do you think I am still running up and down all over the world at the age of 83?
Don’t let anybody deceive you. If you think I don’t want to Retire, there must be something wrong with you.
I have Planned for my Retirement from the moment I turned 60 – That is when I began my Plan for Retirement.
Because in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Retirement Age is 70 years – Which is Good enough.
I had my Plans: the moment I became 70 – Glory be to God!
I will have all the time in the world to serve God at my own pace – Because when you are retired you can never be late to a Meeting.
Is that not correct?
You don’t need Permission to travel – You are a free man (woman).
You can now Plan your own time without the interference of any Senior Pastor.
I thought that when I retire, the first one hundred (100) Days, I will go round the world on a Cruise – Because if you are looking for a Place of enjoyment, go on a Cruise.
In one of the Ships that I have been, they had twenty eight (28) Restaurants. And each of the Restaurant is begging you to come and eat.
I mean, you don’t have to show your Ticket, because you can’t be on a boat unless you have Paid – You can’t come in by Accident.
I thought that for the first one hundred (100) Days: I would wake up, eat breakfast, eat lunch, and eat whatever you call the ones that are in between.
And after resting for a hundred Days, I will now take the Bible from Genesis 1:1 and begin to use the little ability God has given me; to dig out the Hidden Truths in these Passages.
So that wherever I reach – When Death comes, you would complete it, make it into a kind of Encyclopedia.
And when I am gone, those reading it will remember: Ha, this Man was here.
That was my Plan.
But when the time was drawing near, God said: “You are not going anywhere yet. I have other Assignments for you – And it has to do with feeding these People to a Level; because where you stop, that is where they will start.”
So that is why I am still here.
If you serve God diligently you will join in the Set of Kings.
You may never go beyond the Level of Parish Pastor; they may never make you an Area Pastor; but does it matter?
God knows where you are on the Pyramid – He knows those who can Pray a Simple Prayer and things will happen.
In the Open Heavens Daily Devotional of this Morning (DMC NOTES: Tuesday 16th September 2025), we were reading about Elijah in 1 Kings 17:1 – And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
And I said to my children, if there is anything I didn’t tell you about Elijah that is very important, it is that Elijah was a “Regular Guy” – His family didn’t matter.
They never told us the name of his father.
Whereas Blind Bartimeaus, the beggar, they told us the father’s name (Timeaus).
He was a Biig Man even though he was blind.
Elijah was a Nobody – They never mentioned his father’s name.
But that man said, “As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word” – I shut the Heavens, and it will not be open until I say so.
That is Power!
It is not the Title; but it is the Connection with the Most High God.
How High do you want to go?
DILIGENT IN WHAT?
- IN HEARING GOD:
You must be diligent in hearing God.
When you read Deuteronomy 28:1-14, the Bible says “If you hearken (how?) Diligently!
You don’t just attend Meetings like this one to hear; you come to hearken.
The difference between hearing and hearkening can be illustrated by what happened when I was in Ilesha Grammar School in the 1950s – Before many of you were born.
We had a Geography Teacher, very nice man.
He would come to Class, teach us, we would take down notes.
Then, the day before Examination, he would call us together for what he calls Revision. And he would tell us to ask him Questions and we would begin to ask him:
- Sir, what is the difference between Sahara Desert and the Kalahari Desert?
In details, he will tell us.
And on the Examination Paper, Question No. 1 is going to be, “What is the difference between Sahara Desert and the Kalahari Desert?”
- Then we would go on: Sir, what is the difference between Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean?
He would tell us in details. And on the Examination Paper, Question No. 2 would be: “What is the difference between Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean?”
You would really be a Stupid fellow to fail his Examination.
When he is Teaching in the Class, we listen but when he is doing that Revision with us, we hearken – That is the difference!
You can’t come to this kind of Meeting, that comes once in a year, to listen.
If you come to a Meeting like this, you should hearken.
And the Bible says, not only are you to hearken; how are you to do it? Diligently.
The reason why many of us are sick is because we have not been hearkening.
Exodus 15:26 says: And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his Commandments, and keep all his Statutes, I will put none of these Diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
… You must be diligent in hearkening.
- IN SERVICE:
You must be diligent in Service to God.
In 2 Kings 3:11-12, the Bible says, “Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
Elisha took Service to a higher Level – He doesn’t just Prepare the food; he doesn’t just set the table: he would tell his Master, “The Table is ready Sir, Please it is time for you to wash your hands.”
And it’s not that he would hold the basin and say, wash while I am holding it; he would say Master, as you are washing your hands, Please grant me the Privilege of pouring water.
Let me tell you just one Story!
It was in 1975 also. I attended the World Conference of Pentecostals in Nairobi, Kenya – And all the Big Boys in Pentecostal gathered there to Minister to us the Young People.
At the end of the day, when we were about to round up, the Number One Organizer said: Brothers and Sisters, I want to show you the fellow who has Ministered the most during this Conference.
And we were all trying to find out who the fellow is. Then he brought forward a small girl.
How? He said, this girl came to me when we were getting ready for the Programme, “How can I serve Sir?”
I said, sorry, every Assignment has been distributed.
“Can I at least take the Letters to the Post Office?” That has been done a long time ago.
And finally the girl said, I know something you have not assigned. And the man said, what is that?
“I want you to give me Permission that everyday I will clean the shoes of all the Guest Speakers – I know you haven’t assigned that one.”
The man said, I was shocked!
So he said, if you look at the feet of the Guest Speakers and you see their shoes shining, this is the fellow in charge.
We all stood up, we all clapped – Not for the Guest Speakers, not for those who did Theology, but for a small girl who served.
There is Somebody, when Nobody is Watching; she is cleaning shoes of Guest Speakers. And everytime a Speaker got on Stage, the handwriting of that girl stepped on the Stage.
- How diligent are you in Service?
- How far have you taken the Ministry?
- IN PRAYER:
Of course, do I need to tell you that you have to be Diligent in Prayer?
After all, the Bible says “Pray without Ceasing.” (DMC NOTES: 1 Thessalonians 5:17)
When we are talking about real Diligent Prayer, we are not talking about Combined Prayer like this when we are all together.
That is important – We can Pray diligent Prayer and shake the house.
Way back in 1979 in a Town called Tulsa USA, in an hotel called Mayo Hotel.
I am giving you details so that you can ask AI (Artificial intelligence) to search it out for you (laughter).
There is this hotel that was shutdown there about Thirty (30) years.
Why? Because six (6) of us from Nigeria stayed in that Hotel.
One morning my father-in-the-Lord called the five of us together to be with him. And he announced there that he would soon be going Home; and I would be Succeeding him.
That was a serious Revelation.
And when you hear that type of bombshell, you have to Pray.
As soon as we began to Pray, it wasn’t long before somebody knocked on the door.
Since I was the one nearest to the door, I got up and opened the door.
The Engineer said, what kind of Instrument are you Playing?
“We are not Playing any Instrument; we are Praying” I said.
He Practically pushed me out of the way, came into the room, searched everywhere, looking for any heavy-duty Instrument but he saw nothing.
When He was leaving the room (at the door) he turned and said, “what did you People say you were doing?” I said, we were Praying.
I asked him why? He said, “It’s because the Hotel is shaking, and we have traced the source of the vibration to this room.”
So, as soon as all the Guests were gone, they shut down the Hotel – They wanted to find out what is responsible for the shaking.
So they dug round the Hotel, checked the Foundation; nothing was wrong.
They couldn’t believe of course – How the Prayers of six (6) People could shake the Hotel.
“How can you Pray and shake an Hotel?
But thirty (30) years later, I went back to Tulsa with my children who were not born by then. I said, let me show you the Hotel where we Prayed and the Foundation shook.
We got there and the Place was still closed.
I was moved with compassion: I laid my hands on the wall and said, God Please let them reopen this Place.
Six (6) Months later, it was reopened.
… I gave you all the details so you can find out if I am lying.
You can Pray alone and shake the Ground.
You can Pray alone and there would be Earthquake.
You’ve heard the Story too;
I was at the Redemption City in Nigeria. It was Redemption Camp back then.
I was Praying in the Night, Praying in desperation – Almighty God, when You called me to be Your Child, from day number one I told You I don’t want to be an Ordinary Christian.
When You said whether I like it or not, I must become a Pastor, I told you I don’t want to be an Ordinary Pastor.
It is either You give me Power to do this work, or You take me Home.
Do something out of the two Lord.
And the Ground shook!
Then I knew He has heard.
How do I know the Ground shook? It is the only Earthquake that has ever happened in Nigeria – As far away as Ijebu Ode (DMC NOTES: Several Kilometers away), Pictures on the wall were dropping.
Of course if you tell them that it was a man who Prayed somewhere that caused the Pictures on the wall to begin to fall, they would laugh at you and say, Stupid Man, he has come again.
You want to be among Kings? Then you must Pray Diligently.
- IN WORSHIP:
You must be diligent in Worship.
David said in Psalm 34:1, I will bless the LORD at all times: his Praise shall continually be in my mouth.
If His Praise is continually in your mouth; If His Praise is diligently in your mouth, you would have no room for Grumbling and Murmuring.
You are supposed to be Praising God all the times – Whether things are going fine or they are not going as fine as you think.
Whether you feel abused, cheated, misused; you are to Praise God at all times.
- Who are you to be Complaining?
- Who are you to think that you are being misused?
- Who are you to query God?
If you are diligent in Praise, diligent in Worship, you will know that Romans 8:28 says: And we know that all things work together for Good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
- IN HOLINESS:
You are to be Diligent in Holiness.
Not just Holy, diligently Holy.
God is not coming back for an Ordinary Church; He is coming back for a Church without spot, without wrinkle – Without any form of blemish.
Don’t let anybody deceive you – We hear so many Grace Preachers tell us, “Once you are saved, you are saved.”
At least God will be a Witness that as far as you (my children) are concerned; I’ve told you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
You don’t have to receive it; you can Prove to me that you are much Wiser than I am – That’s fine.
You can’t be wrong if you say that. It’s up to you.
But my God is Holy, absolutely Holy. He has no room for rubbish.
You can twist the Bible the way you like, no Problem. He is waiting for you.
When He says: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me (DMC NOTES: Revelation 3:20).
“Why don’t You force the door open and come in?”
He would not force you because He is a Holy God.
- I beg you, don’t toy with, be diligently Holy.
- Don’t write false Reports.
Every Report you sign, you will be held Accountable on the Last Day.
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. (DMC NOTES: Proverbs 22:29).
PRAYER
Shall we bow our heads and say Father; help me to be diligent in everything Lord, Particularly in Your Work.
Let me be diligent as I walk with You.
Help me to be diligent in Worship, diligent in Prayer;
Let me hearken to You diligently.
Thank You for Your Grace Lord; and Thank You for the finished work of Christ on Calvary.
Thank You for the man (Paul) who said I should Pray without ceasing.
He was Born Again too.
Thank You for the man who said, in all things I should give Thanks.
He was the Apostle of Grace.
Help me to be diligent in my Service to You Lord.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER
Father, Thank You for Your Word.
Thank You for the Grace to diligently open Your Word to Your Children.
Thank You that they have listened diligently.
Thank You because when You send Your Word, You would not only heal, but deliver.
Thank You for Your Word. Accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.
From this moment onward, my Father and my God, let us take Your Assignment seriously.
Within a year, my Father and my God: Let us Double.
Help us to Double!
And let Your Blessing on us Double.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
