Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: Happy New Year. God bless you.
Happy New Year to all of you too.
John 21: 12-19 – Actually one should start from Verse 1 but because of time.
John 21:12-19:
- Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the Disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
- Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
- This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
- So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
- He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
- He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
- Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
- This spake he, signifying by what death he should Glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
You know the Story of Peter and Jesus Christ very well:
You know that they have had Encounters before.
You know that when Jesus Christ ask Questions from the Disciples and everybody is giving one answer or the other; Peter’s answer is always the correct one.
Like in Matthew 16: 13-19, when the Lord ask the Disciples who do People say I am?
And some of them said: Some People said you are Elijah, others says you are Elisha, some say you are one of the Prophets.
Then He asked them, you yourself, who do you say I am?
And Peter says: Oh, You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Then Jesus Christ made him a Promise – He said that I am going to give you the key. You will be the one who will lock and unlock because of the Revelation that you have received from God.
The key is the key of the Kingdom of Heaven that I am giving unto you.
But now, somewhere along the line, things went terribly wrong.
The one who was bold enough to say that you are the Christ; a situation came when they asked him: You are one of His Followers, aren’t you? He said: Me? No o, I don’t even know Him.
Ha, we saw you with Him – You are Prominent among His Disciples.
He said: Don’t get me into trouble o; I don’t know Him at all.
And the 3rd time Someone said: We know you and you are one of them. Even your Language and the way you shout Hallelujah shows clearly that you are one of His Closest People.
He began to curse.
By the time we get to John Chapter 21, the One who once left his boat and all the fish that he caught to follow Jesus Christ said to the other Disciples – I don’t know about you o but I am going back to fishing.
I am going back completely to where I started from before I met this fellow that I thought to be the King and the Deliverer.
It was while he was fishing that the others said that we will go with you.
My Prayer is that: This Year, you will never lead anybody astray – Amen!
Because People are watching you and they are following your Examples.
People that you think are not watching you are watching you very closely.
It reminds me of a Story that happened in one of our Churches called Bolumole in Ibadan (DMC NOTES: Fola Bolumole Street is located around Bodija/Oluyole Axis of Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria).
Some Young Sisters just joined the Choir, coming to Church decked in Jewelleries – You know that they are just coming in directly from the world.
But there was a Sister that they all liked – They liked the way she Preach, the way she sang and they looked at her the way she dressed.
Like Somebody will say that she used to dress like Mummy GO.
And those girls were Praying: Lord one day, we will grow, we will mature and begin to dress like this Sister.
Then one day, they came to Church and they saw this Sister also decked in Jewelleries.
After the Service, they went to her: Sister, what happened?
She said what do you mean? They said that we are Praying to become like you but now, you have become like us.
… She is the one who told us the Story.
People are watching you – People you don’t even know, they are watching you.
… Keep that in Mind in Year 2026.
They are watching how you speak and believe it or not, they are watching how you dress.
I Pray once again: In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, this Year you will lead Nobody astray – Amen.
So anyway, Peter said: I go A-Fishing.
And the others said: If you can go A-Fishing, what are we waiting for? We will come along.
And they all fished All-Night and caught Nothing.
May I Pray another Prayer for you: This Year, you will no longer get involved with Fruitless Efforts – Amen.
Then the Lord appeared and cry out to them from the Beach: Children, have you got something?
They knew the answer and they said Nothing.
He said I know where the fish are; throw your Net to the right side.
And they caught so much fish that they couldn’t draw them in.
And immediately, Peter remembered that has happened to me before – The One who spoke to me then must be the one speaking to me now.
Then he jumped out of the boat and began to swim.
But his Heart was saying: Lord, I am coming back to you.
I Pray with all my Heart: Those of us who used to know Jesus Christ intimately will return fully back to Him this Year – Amen!
Anyway, that is by way of Introduction.
By the time the others had brought the fish to the Beach; they found out that food was already waiting.
Jesus Christ had Prepared the Meal!
It is interesting when you read that Story that they didn’t even ask Him how do you catch your fish?
He just said to them: Come and eat.
I am sure that by now they know: Oh, it is the Lord and so they ask no Question.
And then after the Meal, the Lord turned to Peter: Peter, once you said that if everybody should deny me, you will not deny me.
So, may I ask you the Question: “Do you still love me more than all this?
He said: Lord You know that I love You.
The Lord said okay, I will make the Question simplier because I was comparing you to others when I said “More”.
Let me now ask: Do you just love me? Let’s leave the others out.
He said: Lord, you know that I love You. I might not be the one that loved You most or the Favourite but at least I love You.
And then He asked him the 3rd time.
And Bible Scholars – Those who knows the Bible deeply, they said that when He was asking him the 3rd time: “Do you love me”; He wasn’t actually using the word “Love” as in the first two cases.
It was almost “Like” – Do you at least like me?
And Peter got the Point – Three (3) times I have denied Him and the 3rd time, I swore.
And so three (3) times now, He is asking me:
I. Do you love me more than all this?
II. Do you just love me – Forget of others?
III. And then, do you even like me casually?
Since on the Cross Over Night (31st December 2025); God has been directing me to an Individual – He has been speaking to one Person.
He has been asking:
I. Do you qualify to be my Favourite?
II. He is now asking: Forget being Favourite, do you qualify to be at least one of my Disciples?
III. Do you qualify to be just one of my Followers.
He is asking some serious Questions:
- Are you willing to die for me?
Ha! No, that is too much – I don’t want to die but I want to live.
- Okay, will you be willing to go to wherever I send you where there is no danger of dying?
Hmm, Provided that it is somewhere like America or London or even Japan.
- Or will you just be a Member?
So He now finally turned to Peter and said: Alright, I want you to know that my Promises are Yea and Amen.
I have told you once that I am going to give you the keys of the Kingdom.
I don’t Change like Men Change – What I Promise you, I can do it.
And I believe that He is speaking to whosoever that Fellow is that God has been talking to since the Cross Over Service Night – You are now in Year 2026; we can forget the Past and look forward with Hope.
☆ I can still use you for my Glory.
☆ I can still make you a Vessel unto Honour.
☆ Your Tomorrow can still be alright.
☆ Your Shadow can still heal the Sick.
Provided that your Repentance is Genuine!
Because God who sees what no Man can see, saw Peter after he had denied Him three (3) times, he went out and wept bitterly – Matthew 26: 69-72.
☆ He was sad for his sins.
☆ He wept.
☆ He didn’t just weep, he wept bitterly.
There are many of us – The day that we said that we are giving our lives to Jesus Christ, we were joking:
☆ Some of us came forward so that we can take Pictures.
☆ Some of us come forward so that we can get close to the General Overseer and to be able to take his Picture.
☆ Some of us came with our sinful Nature and we went back with our sinful Nature – We didn’t repent.
The three (3) times He told Peter – I told you that I will give you the keys and my Promises are Yea and Amen because I saw your Heart and I saw the way you wept when you failed,
In Year 2025; just some hours ago, some of us came to the Altar to cry out to God to Please have Mercy on us for the ways we failled Him in the Year that just passed.
God knew those who came Genuinely to say: Lord, I am sorry, have Mercy on me.
I have Good News for those People:
☆ Who has Genuinely said bye bye to Jonah.
☆ Who has said to the Almighty God that I blew it Last Year, I don’t want to blow it this Year.
I have Good News for you: God can give you another Chance!
You are still alive – And when there is Life, there is Hope.
It is by very Strange Divine Arrangement that Last Night we had Holy Communion and today again we are having another Holy Communion.
Only God could have arranged it this way because I believe that He wants to give Someone a Second Chance.
Remember the Story in 2 Kings 13: 14-20:
Elisha was about to die; the King came to him and say: My father, my father; you are the one who has been taking care of Israel. What am I going to do if you go?
Elisha said no Problem, we can take care of tomorrow.
I want you to do this and that – And the King did it.
And then, he asked him to take his arrow to smote the Ground – He did it three (3) times and stopped.
The Man of God said: Ha, Ha; who asked you to stop?
During the Cross Over Service Night, we Prayed and I told you that the Prayers you Prayed during that Service was just an Introduction and that you are to continue with the Prayer later on as you leave here.
Some of you have not even remembered to Pray any Single Prayer between then and now.
Why do you stop?
But then, Elisha was still alive when he said that to the King.
The King should have said: Ha, is that so? I am sorry that I stopped. I will, now continue.
If I were the King, I would have continued to smote the Ground until the Man of God said okay that is enough now.
No, the King did nothing until the Man of God died.
You are in the New Year – If you are the one that God has been sending me to, it is a Wake Up Call.
Tonight, as you come for another Holy Communion:
- Make sure that your Repentance over your Failures of Last Year was Genuine.
- Make sure that no Jonah followed you into Year 2026.
If anything contrary to the Will of God is still trying to cleave to you; send it back to Year 2025 by force.
- Cry to God – Give me another Chance!
Maybe I didn’t get the importance of what your son was saying during the Cross Over Service – Now, I get it.
I will cry unto You until I hear directly from You that all is well now.
ALTAR CALL
And just in case there is any one (1) or two (2) People among us and you are still joking with your Salvation.
God is giving you another Chance now.
He is saying: Come to me all ye that Labour and are heavy ladened and I will give you rest.
I am going to count from one (1) to five (5) – If you really, really want Genuine Salvation – No more joking and you are absolutely serious now, you can come forward to the Altar before I say five (5).
We will Pray for you before the rest of us will continue.
I am counting!
Those of you on the way and those that are infront already, cry unto the Lord and say:
Lord, have Mercy on me, save my Soul, I will do Your Will, I want You to be my Lord and my Saviour, forgive all my sins Lord and I will do Your Will for the rest of my Life.
Let the rest of us Stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them:
Pray that the God who saved your Soul, will save their own Souls also.
Pray that by the Power in His Blood, He will wash away their sins, He will write their names in the Book of Life and they will become True Children of God.
Please Pray for them.
Thank You Father!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
And so my Father and my God, I want to say once again Thank You.
Thank You for Your Goodness, Thank You for Your Mercy and Thank You for Your Words.
And Thank You for those People who has decided to Surrender their lives to You.
Please receive them in Jesus Name.
Forgive all their sins, let Your Blood wash their sins away, save their Souls Lord and write their names in the Book of Life.
From this moment onwards, let them become Genuine Members of the Family of God.
And the Grace for them to serve You all the days of their Life, Father release unto them now.
Then I Pray that from now on, anytime they cry unto You; Please answer them by Fire.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
Now Tonight, as you eat the Bread; you are going to turn the Request of Jesus Christ to a Prayer.
He said that whenever you eat the Bread; you do it in Remembrance of Him.
When you eat the Bread Tonight, your Prayers will be: Father, Please remember me.
If He remembers you, He will take care of whatever Problems may still be in your Body.
When it is time to drink the Wine, I will tell you how to Pray.
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 – Amen!
You take the Bread, eat it and Pray to the Lord as directed.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Shall we Please Stand!
When you drink the Wine Tonight, your cry to God is: Father, P.ease give me another Chance in this New Year to draw Close to You, to love You Passionately, to serve You with all my Mind, with all my Strength and with all that I have. Give me another Chance.
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 – Amen!
Thank You Father!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
DADDY GO PRAYS
Almighty God, You are the Controller of Times and Seasons.
You can fast forward Time and You can ask the Sun to retrace its Steps.
Whatever You have to do in the Heavens that I might reach the Goal You have for me and that I might become who You want me to become; Father do it Tonight.
Give me another Chance.
Another opportunity to serve You, to love You, to Praise You, to be 100% committed to You; Father Please give us another Chance.
And do it Tonight.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Let’s remain in an attitude of Worship and pass our cups to the aisles so that the Ushers will help us to collect them.
THANKSGIVING
And then, let us take our Thanksgiving Offerings with Gratitude to God and Trusting God that we have another Chance to serve Him as we ought to.
And then, we dance to the nearest basket to drop our Offerings.

And Tomorrow by the Grace of God, we will be talking about: “Brand New Beginning”.
It will be Wonderful in Jesus Name – Amen.
Over to you Band!
