OPENING PRAYER

King of kings and Lord of lords, the Ancient of Days. The One Who was, the One Who is, the One Who is to come, the Almighty.

The One Whose Name is Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Glory be to Your Holy Name.

Thank You for bringing us together tonight. Thank You because we know You are here. And where You are Miracles are bound to happen.

Accept our worship in Jesus’ Name.

Tonight Father, in the lives of each and every one of us Please, do something New.

Save Souls tonight, set the Captives Free tonight. Please Daddy, don’t let any one of us leave here empty handed.

I am asking Lord God Almighty that through the Power of Your Resurrection, everyone here tonight and all those reading now on the Label of DMC would go back with at least a Testimony.

Thank You Almighty God! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

I want you to wave to one (1) or two (2) People; Prophesy to them and say: God will Bless you tonight – Amen.

… And then you may Please, be seated.

And then you may Please shout another Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

And put your hand together for this wonderful Choir.

In Luke 5:1-7, the Bible tells us that Jesus wanted to Preach to the People. So He borrowed the boat of Peter. And when He got into the boat He sat down and the Congregation stood up (laughs)!

So the Bible way to Minister is for a Preacher to sit and the the Congregation to stand (laughs)!

But by the Authority vested on me by the Lord Jesus Christ, I allow you to sit. But I will be sitting too (Laugher)!

Let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

I am delighted to be with you tonight. I Thank God for all those who have Ministered before me. I might not be here, but I was following up in my Prayer Room.

And I thank you! You have all done extremely well – Thank you very, very much.

And the real reason why I am sitting to Preach tonight is because I felt that:

1. This is the 10th Anniversary of EUROCON – European Convention.
2. I don’t know exactly (only God knows) when next I will be able to attend your Convention. Coronavirus has messed up a lot of Plans. There are several Places in the world expecting their own Convention.

And so I decided, rather than Preach tonight, we should have a Bible Study.

So I have to sit down so that I won’t have to say my legs are getting tired.

… If a man at eighty (80) years of age says his legs are getting tired, you won’t blame him (laughs)!

And so I decided, I would sit down, we would have a Bible Study. But it will be a Bible Study you won’t forget – Amen.

And because there are some of us here that definitely, I am sure have never attended a EUROCON before; People who have never been to our Festival of Life or Holy Ghost Service before. I need to explain certain things, so that we can be able to flow together along the same Leverage:

1. The first thing is that: In Holy Ghost Services like this, when God speaks He speaks in a certain manner different from any Regular Service – He speaks to individuals. No matter how Great the crowd, He focuses on individuals.

So you are likely to hear; as we go along God could say: “There is Someone here…” – When He locates Somebody who needs a Particular Ministration.

But then at the end of the day you may discovered that: “Someone here” may end up to be a hundred People. And you might think “Oh, the Man of God made a mistake.” No! That’s the way God speaks.

For example, He says: “I Stand at the door and knock, if any Man hears my voice…” – He might be talking to a Congregation; but He addresses Himself to individuals.

For example, I know for sure that there is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC, who would never weep again – AMEN.

Where is that Someone? – We are here at DMC FAMILY!

He might be talking to a huge crowd; but He would say: “There is Someone here…”

2. The Holy Spirit flows like a River.

In John 7:37-38, the Bible says: In the Last day, that Great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any Man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scriptures hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water.

And the Bible explains it further to us – He was talking about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit flows like a River.

So if the River of the Holy Spirit is flowing in your direction and it is your turn to deep a bucket into the River to get out water; if at that time you doze off, God mentioned your Particular case and Someone next to you say ‘Amen’ and you woke up. And you turn to the Fellow: “What did he say?” Ha! By then it will be too late. The River would have flowed on.

So tell your neighbour: Don’t doze off – Be on alert!

3. The next thing you need to know about the Holy Ghost Service like this is that, without any doubt at all, God is here!

Sir, how are you sure? He said so! He said: “Where two (2) or three (3) are gathered together in my Name, I will be there.”

Now we are more than two (2) or three (3) – So without any doubt, God is here now.

I will give you another reason why I am sure He is here. By now I think you will begin to understand why I said I will sit down.

… This is a Night never to be forgotten – Amen.

When God was Calling me to Ministry and I was scared. I wanted to know – How am I going to survive? You are Calling me out of my “Lucrative Job” into the Assignment of a Pastor; in a very, very “Little Church” (And we were very “rich” in those days).

What assurance are You giving me?

He gave me one assurance – He said that I will give you only this: “Wherever you go, I will go with you.”

So right now (believe it or not) the Headquarters of God on Earth is in the Netherlands – He is in this room now!

4. Then if you read the Book of Exodus 8, Pharoah was facing a Big Problem – Frogs all over: Frogs on his bed, in his pot of soup. Frogs everywhere!

And he sent for Moses – Please, talk to your God, let Him take these frogs away then I will let you go! Moses said fine! When do you want me to talk to God?

Do you know what Pharoah said? He said tomorrow.

Ha! Tomorrow? You want to spend another Night with the frogs?

Pharaoh said, what is your concern? I am the one dealing with frogs. Moses said fine! Then till tomorrow – Keep company with the frogs.

That leads me to a very important question: When do you want your Miracles? – NOW!

… Are you sure you don’t want to wait till tomorrow? – Yes, I don’t want!

5. Finally, every fellow who got a Miracle from God got it by Faith.

God is not a talkative; the Bible says God has spoken once, twice have we heard: that Power belongs to God (Psalms 62:11).

God does not have to repeat Himself at all:

I. “Let there be Light, and there was Light.” – Simple!

II. So, when God repeats Himself, it is because what He is about to say is very important.

So, when you hear Him say: “Verily, Verily I say unto you… ” – He is saying “Pay Attention!”

III. When He repeats Himself three (3) times, it means the situation must be very serious.

Read Joshua 1:1-18; three (3) times He said to Joshua: “Be Strong and of a Good Courage.”

When He said it at first, He said it gently. The second time: “Be Strong and of a Good Courage” – then He was talking to a house boy who was to become Head of State (and that fellow was trembling).

By the time He said it the third time,there was a bit of anger in His voice – “I say be Strong and of a Good Courage; have I not commanded you?”

IV. But do you know that God repeated Himself four (4) times? – What was it He said four (4) times?

… THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

In Habakukk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38 – The Just shall live by what? – By FAITH.

How many of you believe that you will not leave here without your Miracles tonight? – The DMC FAMILY Members!

Be it unto you according to your Faith – Amen.

Alright! Now I think I have prepared the ground.

Tonight we want to speak on: HIS RESURRECTION POWER.

The Bible Text would be Revelation 1:18. Jesus is speaking and He said:

I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of Hell and of Death.

Let’s do a little bit of Introduction:

When we talk about “HIS” – We all know immediately that we are talking about Jesus Christ.

When we talk about “POWER” (I am coming back to Resurrection); we talk about that which enables you to do very difficult things easily.

I mean, opening blind eyes is not an easy thing. Even the best of Eye Surgeons will tell you: “You are already totally blind; for you to be brought back to seeing is going to require some very Speciall and delicate Operations.”

So if you have the Power to wave your hand and blind eyes open – That’s Power!

If you wave your hand at Handkerchiefs that People lift up, and they take the Handkerchief, go and tie it round the leg of a Muslim Woman and she got converted – That’s Power!

… I think you have a rough idea now.

Then “RESURRECTION” (which is the big word here) is to bring Someone who had died back to Life.

In our Bible Text (Revelation 1:18) Jesus said – “I died, I am alive again.”

That is what Resurrection means – Bringing the one who had died back to Life.

That Power that can bring the dead back to Life belongs to One Person alone – To JESUS CHRIST.

The One Who Himself said in John 11:25-26 – I am the Resurrection and the Life.

Power belongs to the Only One Who can conquer death; the One Who took the keys from that Person who has the Power of death (Hebrews 2:14).

And as we read in our Bible Text (Revelation 1:18); He has the keys of Hell and Death. He is the One Who died and Who lives.

So Resurrection is talking about bringing Somebody from death to Life.

Another definition that we would want to call to Mind is: What is Life?

It will amaze you that if you ask your neighbour: “What is Life?” He or she is not going to be able to tell you.

When we were in the Elementary School, they told us that something is alive if it can move. When we grew older they told us that trees don’t move, but they could be alive.

So, there are words like that, that you think you know but you really don’t know. There are many of them!

… I don’t want to waste your time (even though we are doing a Bible Study).

When we have words like that, Particularly in Advanced Mathematics (don’t be afraid, I’m not going to teach Maths) – In Mathematics, we defne such words by their opposites: Life is the opposite of death because death is easy to define.

WHAT IS DEATH?

That is Simple! Death is Permanent separation from People, Places and things.

Unlike Holidays and Vacations – When you go on Vacation, you are separated from your People, your house your bed, temporarily. That is Vacation!

SO WHAT IS LIFE?

Life is the opposite of death. Therefore, it is a reconnection to People, Places and things that you have been separated from.

Resurrection therefore, is nothing other than Reconnection.

I am going to look at this Topic Patiently, thoroughly by looking at Resurrection from various angles of Life: Physical, Material, Mental, Spiritual, et cetera, et cetera.

.. Don’t worry I won’t take too long. I am a Mathematician – I can say a lot quickly.

1. HEALTH.

When we talk about Resurrection, for Someone who is sick, we are saying: You were Healthy, sickness came, the devil cane, stole your Health.

Resurrection means you are reconnected to your Healthy form.

Romans 8:11 says: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

… You know the word ‘Quicken’ means make Alive.

In Mark 3:1-5 Jesus came into the Temple, saw Someone with a Withered Hand. Do you know the meaning of Withered Hand?

It means it wasn’t like that when the Fellow was born – The hand was normal but something happened and the hand began to shrink, became lifeless, withered.

Then the One Who has the Power of Resurrection said to him: “Stretch forth your hand.” And as he was stretching forth the hand, the hand became Normal again.

So I am starting by using the Power vested on me to say to those of you that any Part of your body is already disabled; Receive your Health again – AMEN.

To give you another Example: in Mark 8:22-25 – The Bible says they brought a Man to Jesus, he was blind. Jesus took him aside, spit on the sand and touched his eyes. He said “what do you see?” The man said “I see men walking like trees.”

What does that tell you? He used to see. He has seen trees before. He said “I see men walking like trees.” He could recognize trees before he went blind. And then Jesus touched him the second time and he could now see clearly.

He was seeing, he became blind; the One Who has the Power of Resurrection said, see again!

That is Good News for those of you who have Eye problems; because before you leave here tonight, or finish reading this Message on the Label of DMC; you will be seeing clearly again – AMEN.

In John 5:2-9, the Bible tells us of a Man at the Pool of Bethesda. A lot of People gathered together, waiting for an Angel to come, stir the water and the first fellow to jump in would be healed.

The Bible says, the One Who has the Power of Resurrection (the Lord Jesus Christ) came visiting. And He saw a Man who had been there for thirty-eight (38) Years. That Man was not born sick. He went to that Pool side because he became so sick. Doctors could not help him. So he went to look for a Miraculous Solution.

When the One Who has the Power to make the sick Whole arrived; all He had to do is speak a Word and the Man was instantly healed.

I Thank God for Doctors – They are Wonderful People. What will the world be like without them? But most of the time they give you two (2) tablets, three (3) times daily for one (1) week. Injections in the Morning, Afternoon and Evening.

… And then it gets to a Stage they say: There is nothing more we can do!

But there is Someone Who can heal instantly. And He is here tonight or even as you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC.

Are you ready to receive your healing? Lift your hands to Him and say: I RECEIVE MINE.

And you will get it according to your Faith, in the Jesus’ Name – Amen.

I always give the Testimony of a very Wealthy man, who for one reason or the other, suddenly became Paralysed from Waist downward and they took him from Nigeria to the best Hospital in London.

And he was there for Months! Then one day the Head Surgeon came with a very long pin. And he said Chief (became he was a Chief back home); he said yes! The Surgeon said watch me and he was watching.

And the Doctor drove the long pin all the way through his thigh. And he asked: “Can you feel any Pain?” The Chief said No! The Doctor said, your legs are dead, there is Nothing anybody can do for you – Go home, stop wasting your money!

So they took him home. When he got home, there was a little girl living in the same house. She went to the Old Man and said: Sir, if only you can get to Redemption Camp (that is where I live back home in Nigeria).

The little girl said, if my father-in-the-Lord Prays for you, you will walk again!

… You know how little girls can get you into trouble (laughs)!

So they brought the Old Man. It took six (6) hefty men to carry him from the car into the house. I read to him Romans 8:11, and he received his Healings!

The same God is here right now or as you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC.

Anyone ready for a Miracle of Healing? – Receive it in Jesus’ Name – AMEN.

2. FINANCES

… I know that will interest some of us (laughs)!

When we talk about the Power of His Resurrection, as far as Finances are concerned; we are talking of those who used to be rich and then become poor. And then through the Resurrection Power become reconnected to Wealth.

A Good Example you will find in Job 1:1-3 – The Bible describes for us that Job as the Wealthiest man in the whole of the East. He was so Wealthy, the whole Continent of the East knew him as their Richest.

Then the devil came! And you know the Bible says in John 10:10 – The devil came to steal, to kill and to destroy.

Job lost everything! According to Job 1:6-21. He himself said with his mouth: “Now I am naked.”

… To be naked means there is nothing left.

But then, the Resurrection Power worked on him. By the time you read Job 42:10-13, the Bible says the he became twice as rich as he used to be.

Somebody said: “The devil is a fool.” Because if he knew what was coming he would have left this Man alone.

Job became reconnected to Wealth for the rest of his Life. Because the Bible says in Job 42:16-17 that he lived for another one hundred and forty (140) years and never knew Poverty again.

The Next Prayer I am going to Pray is for those of you who know what it is to be really poor. Some of you don’t need to say ‘Amen’

But for those of you who will want the Resurrection Power to touch your Finances, it shall happen tonight – Amen.

I have shared the Testimony; some of you have heard it before; but some of you are New.

It is the Story of a Man who was very Wealthy. I mean, he had (I think) fourteen (14) cars. And if you have fourteen (14) cars, you can’t be a Poor Man.

Then he had a quarrel with his wife and the wife happened to be connected to the devil (in a very Special way). And so the wife said, by the time I am finished with you, you will be trekking – Which means that you won’t have a vehicle left!

And the Man laughed! What kind of of joke is this? How can a Man with fourteen (14) cars ever trek? And his business was going on fine.

But to cut the long Story short, everything began to go wrong. Until he had only one (1) car left. And he had (shall we say) five Euro (€5) left. He was hungry, the fuel in his car was running low.

So he had to decide: if I spend this five Euro (€5) to eat then the fuel will dry out and I will trek like my wife Predicted. If I spend this five Euro (€5) on fuel, what will I eat?

That was when he was compelled to come to Jesus Christ. And the Resurrection Power touched his finances. The day he was sharing his Testimony he was dedicating two (2) Mansions at th same time.

I Decree in the Name of the One Who is the Power of Resurrection, your Finances shall come back to Life – Amen!

3. Then let us talk about something called HOPE.

Thank You Lord!

… I know God loves Europe a lot. The first Word coming tonight is coming to Someone.

The Lord says there is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said that you need to fly to catch up with your Colleagues. In other words, they are so far ahead of you, Ordinary means won’t get you to catch up with them.

But the Lord asked me to tell you: Don’t worry, I will give you wings – Amen!

It is a good thing to have Hope. In Genesis 12:1-4, God Promised Abraham when he was seventy-five (75) years (or thereabout) – “I am going to make you the father of many Nations; get out of your father’s house, etc”

He believed God, so he got out! But one year after another the wife didn’t become Pregnant – No child!

Then came Genesis 15:1-6, and God said Abraham. Yes! Look at the Stars, can you count them? No! So shall your Seed be – Amen. He still believed. He was still hoping. But years upon years followed.

By the time we got to Genesis 17:1-18, when God kept on saying: “You will have many children, your wife will be the mother of Nations”; the Bible says he laughed untill he fell on his face.

You know what he was saying? – “God stop this joking.” He had lost Hope! “Just let Ishmael live, I have managed somehow to get another child.” Thank You very much Lord; but let’s stop this joking.

But something happened – The One Who has the Power of Resurrection Paid him a visit.

And when you read Genesis 18:1-14, when he entertained the Almighty God and God asked him “where is your wife?” He said behind the Tent. And the Lord said “within the next one year you will have a Child.”

It was Sarah that laughed this time (not Abraham).

In a Miraculous way, the Hope was Restored. The Power of Resurrection has brought this Man out of absolute despair and he was ready now to believe God for anything.

The Bible says in Romans 4:16-22; Abraham, against Hope believed in Hope. When everything looked hopeless he still hoped.

Why? – The Power of Resurrection has brought his Hope back!

I will give you another Example of Somebody that you can call a “Hopeless Situation” – It has to do with one of my daughters.

And I hope Somebody who is already hopeless is listening tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC because the Power of Resurrection is going to renew your Hope – Amen.

This my daughter has been married for years and she was barren. And somehow, Someone told her “stop wasting your time, you have no Womb.” Automatically, if Somebody says you have no Womb, that’s the end!

… You can’t begin to hope for a child when Somebody says you have no Womb.

But she came to a Meeting like this, and God spoke to me and said: “There is Someone here, there is no way (Humanly speaking) that you can have a child.”

But God says she’s going to have a set of Twins. And she happens to be a Believer – she believed!

And as soon as the Word of God has gone forth, you know the Bible says: He sent His Word and healed them.

Beloved, those of you who are in Europe, I know you are Highly Educated and so you reason a lot of things out. But you can’t reason God out! Your brain is not good enough to do it (forgive me, I am just being Polite – Pleasantly Polite).

I have discovered from my own little experience – The best of us, the most Brilliant of us cannot reason out God. He works in Mysterious Ways!

And the reason we get so many Miracles in Africa is because we have reached a Stage where we don’t even bother to reason it out! If He says He is going to do it, we just say AMEN!

Because, like I have explained to my Colleagues – You know, I used to be an Academician. When you hear a Man say I have PhD in Mathematics (Somebody like me); you look at him – Oh, this Man knows Mathematics. But he is deceiving you! How much Maths does he know?

If he is among fellow Mathematicians, they will ask him: You have PhD in Mathematics, that’s good! But what aspect of Mathematics – Pure or Applied Maths? Then he says Applied Maths (that’s me)!

Okay! What aspect of Applied Maths? And I say Fluid Mechanics – Okay! What aspect of Fluid Mechanics? Two-Dimensional Motion! – Okay. What aspect of Two-Dimensional Motion?

What Particular aspect of this little bit that you say that you know? – And you say “Nafisco Equation”. That’s what he got a PhD in.

Beloved, it will take a thousand years for Somebody to Study a Mathematics that is known! And you want to compete with God – Who knows all Mathematics, all Physics, all Chemistry, all Biology, etc.

This my daughter heard that “there is Someone here that, Humanly speaking cannot have a child. But God says she’s going to have a Set of Twins – She believed!

And she became Pregnant, went to her doctor. The doctor said I don’t know what is happening, but there seems to be a child here.

My daughter said: No, not a child. God said Twins.

And the very Gynaecologist said, even the fact that I see something here, I’m not too sure!

She went back about three (3) Months later – Well, it looks as if there are two (2) here.

The day came for her to deliver, and because the husband was Wealthy, he said to the doctor, we don’t want any other child. These two (2) are enough.

Hence,we don’t want to take any risk. And we don’t want to hear that while she was in labour something went wrong. Just operate and bring out the twins. And then you can seal the womb.

So they put her to sleep, she woke up and everybody was looking at her as if she fell from the Stars!

She said, what is wrong with you? Where are my Twins? They said, your Twins are okay. She said, what’s the Problem? They said Please, wait for the Professor. The Professor came – Prof. What is the Problem?

The Professor said: after I took out the Twins, I was searching for the Womb. This is the first time in thirty four (34) years of Operations, that I have brought out a set of Twins from Somebody who has no Womb.

This is just to let you know why People like me behave as if I am a child in the hand of God (because that is all I am).

… That is almost twenty (20) years ago !

Then some Months ago, I got a letter from her – I have not seen her for quite a while. By the Grace of God the children have grown.

The letter reads: “Daddy, I want to bring my Twins to you.” Oh, I have not seen those beautiful ones for a long time.

And then she came, carrying New Set of Twins. She was now over sixty (60) years old. And there was nothing called Menstruation of any kind. And the God Who did it the first time decided to do it the Second time!

Now you tell me, what Science can explain that? But there is a God Who is above Science, above Medicine -That God is here today!

Have they told you that there is no Hope for you? The Power of Resurrection will Restore your Hope again – AMEN.

4. Now let us consider something called JOY.

You know Joy is different from Happiness!

Happiness is what you have when something happens.

Joy is what you have whether anything happens or not.

Joy is a very interesting something.

When we talk about Resurrection as far as Joy is concerned, we are talking about Someone who used to know Joy before; who for one reason or the other lost Joy. And then the Power of Resurrection restored the Joy.

Thank You Lord!

The Lord says there is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said those who said there is no way you can make it will soon come and Celebrate your Achievements – Amen!

In Luke 7:11-15, the Bible tells us about a woman who had only one (1) son and the son died. And so this woman is going to bury her only son.

She knew Joy before – She was full of Joy the day she got married, she was full of Joy the day her son was born. But now she has known sorrow. Her husband had died and the devil (very bad devil) saw People with many children, but went to the house of the fellow who had only one and killed that boy.

As they were going to the Burial Ground, the woman was going deeper and deeper in sorrow because she knew that very soon she will return home alone.

She knew that some of those who said they were sympathizing with her were already asking questions among themselves – Are you the only one in Town? Why is your Problem.so bad? She was deep in sorrow!

But Jesus met her on the way, laid hand on the coffin. First of all He told the woman “Weep Not!” And the woman will be wondering – What do You mean by “Weep Not”? If I don’t weep who should weep?

And He told the Boy to come back to Life! Stop causing this woman sorrow.

You can imagine (I wasn’t there). But when that boy got up, jumped out of the coffin; and the woman instead of continuing to the Graveyard, began to go back home.

… I know she knew Joy.

If you lost your Joy, you are getting it back tonight – Amen.

Thank You Daddy!

I want to say Amen to this one before I tell you – Amen.

Because atimes He says something so beautiful, there is Nothing wrong in loving yourself first, before loving your Neighbour.

Daddy asked me to tell Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC:

The Almighty God says: I am going to give your entire Life a “Total Overhaul” – Amen.

That is: An Overhaul for your Body, Soul, Business – Your entire Life will be given a “Total Overhaul”.

…Let me give you another Example along the area or Joy:

Let’s talk about this issue of Joy from another angle. Let’s take DAVID – David knew Joy. I mean, he was a Shepherd Boy. Even as a Shepherd Boy, he was already singing Psalms.

And then when Nobody would consider him for Promotion God compelled them to go and bring him out – You know the Story (1 Samuel 16:1-13).

When they were not going to Present him, God said “we will not sit down until you bring this boy.”

So they brought him and he was Anointed King. He became King amongst his Brethren. Soon he became King over Judah. And then he became King over Israel.

… Nobody needs to tell you that David was Joyous the day he cut off Goliath’s head.

But then he sinned! You know the Story in 2 Samuel 11 – He committed that horrible sin. He committed adultery with the wife of one of his Soldiers. He tried to make it look as if it was her husband who was responsible.

And the husband (the poor fellow) refused to go home. David made him drunk. Yet the man refused to go home. Okay! If you won’t go home, we will eat rid of you. He arranged for the Man to be killed, and Pretended to be a very Good King.

So he brought the woman into his Palace and told everybody – You see how I look after my Soldier’s Widow (Laugher)! He died in battle and I brought his Widow so I can take care of her.

And then God confronted him and Placed a curse on him. And he knew sorrow. I mean sorrow! He cried unto God (you can read the Story in Psalms 51).

You could hear him crying to God – “Please, restore the Joy of my Salvation.” And God heard and responded.

The baby that he got through adultery died; the next baby was Solomon. The Lord sent a Prophet to go and name the boy.

… Ha! God has forgiven me. He knew Joy again; and wrote Psalms 34:1-3 – I will bless the LORD at all times: his Praise shall continually be in my mouth. My Soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His Name together.

There is hardly any Joy like the Joy of a Backslider who is restored to God.

If you have never backsliden, I Pray you will never backslide – Amen.

If you are a Backslider and you are here tonight or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC, you can reconnect with the Power of Resurrection and your Joy will be revived!

When I got Born Again I was a little child in the Lord. I went to a Meeting, a Gathering of Children of God. They were singing choruses (most of which I didn’t know – because I was New). But in order that they won’t know I wasn’t singing, I kept on making a Joyful Noise.

And then all of a sudden the singing stopped; as if by a command from Heaven and then one Man began to Prophesy – Thus saith the Lord (and he began to talk).

I notched the man who took me there “when did God say that?” He said, keep quite, God is talking. I said, I’m not hearing anything (laughs).

Everyone of you here who has never heard from God, you will begin to hear from God – Amen.

It wasn’t long after that, that God began to speak to me. And He would tell me several things. When I am going to Church, He would tell me who would Preach, what Bible Text he would use (before I got to the Church).

… It was Wonderful and then I sinned!

When I joined the Church I was the most Educated Person in the Church. And so they made me Interpreter for the Founder (the Big Man). He would speak in our Native dialect, I will interpret. And because I was interpreting for the Big Man, the other Pastors left me alone. I was reserved for the Founder.

Then one day, one of the Pastors (I don’t know what got in him) came to ask me to interpret for him. I was angry! But I didn’t show it. I said (in my Mind) what is wrong with you? Don’t you know I am the “BIG” Interpreter?

… If he knew what was going on within me as I was interpreting for him, he would said: “Please go and sit down let me get Somebody else (laughs)!

But I went interpreting for him till he finished. But as soon as we finished; as I was on my way to my car, God spoke – “Okay, so you are now too “BIG” to interpret for my Pastors?

Oh, the Bible says God resist the Proud. And from that moment, God cut me off! I no longer heard from him.

… It is better never to have heard from God than never to hear from Him again.

I Prayed, I wrote: O Lord Please, just reconnect me. And if I am going to offend You again tomorrow, kill me today! It was at that Stage that He finally be to speak to me again.

So, if as we go along tonight, you keep hearing us say: “God says” and you are not hearing anything, don’t worry, I will repeat whatever He says to you.

But if you have lost your Joy, there is a Power that can restore that Joy

And that is why I said at the beginning,and I believe very firmly – There is Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, who will never weep again – Amen.

If you are the one, say Amen loud and clear – AMEN!!!!

Now let’s move to something else; after that, maybe we will begin to round up. It is a Bible Study, but it shouldn’t be too long.

5. There is something called DESTINY.

WHAT IS DESTINY?

That is the Plan that God has for your Life before you were born.

Thank You Lord!

The Lord says there is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC:

The Lord said the Fellow concerned will Understand.

He asked me to tell you: Pharaoh will leave your family alone – Amen.

I don’t understand. But He says the Fellow concerned will Understand – Pharoah will leave your family alone – Amen!

In Jeremiah 1:4-5 God said in His Word concerning Jeremiah:

Then the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I Ordained thee a Prophet unto the Nations.

… That is what is called DESTINY.

Nobody came into this world by accident. God has a Purpose for your Life. According to Jeremiah 29:11, it is a Good Purpose.

He says: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of Peace, and not of evil, to give you an Expected End.

“Expected End” – That is where God wants you to end. And it is a Good one. But occasionally, Someone might derail from his or her Destiny. Just one Example will do.

In Luke 5:-11, you know the story about Peter fishing all-night and catching nothing. The Lord Jesus came into his boat, he caught so much fish. He abandoned everything and followed Jesus because Jesus told him that “you will be a Fisher of men.”

That is your Destiny and not to be chasing after fish. You are going to be fishing for Souls.

And if you follow the Story of Peter, you will see one following Steadfastly in that direction.

When the Lord asked: who do Men say that I am? They were giving all manner of Titles. And He said okay, what about you? Peter said I know You, You are the Son of God.

And the Lord said okay, you are living true to your Destiny. But this Revelation is not from flesh and blood; you are hearing from God.

But then came Matthew 26:59-75, when he denied the Lord Jesus Christ three (3) times. He said, I don’t know Him. No, don’t get me in trouble, I don’t know Him at all. He even cursed!

Then in deep sorrow he went out and wept bitterly. But then the Lord rose from the dead, the Power of Resurrection came!

And when He rose from the dead He said go and tell my Disciples (Peter inclusive) – Let them know that I am alive. Let them meet me in Galilee. And anyway, He appeared to them and then He disappeared again.

Peter looked at himself and said, wait a minute: this issue of fishing for Men, it doesn’t look as if it is going to come to pass. So he told the People around, at least I know one other job – I go a Fishing!

Thank You Lord!

The Lord says there is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said: “You are believing me for a “Bundle of Joy” – He said, I will give you Two (2) – Amen.

In that John 21:1-17, Peter said, I go back to my Fishing Business.

But the Resurrected Christ went and met him there. Because again, he fished and caught nothing. And then the Lord Performed a Miracle, He caught so much.

After they had eaten, the Lord said: You denied me three (3) times, right? Let me give you an opportunity to confirm your Love three (3) times – “Do you love me more than this? Peter do you Love me? Do you Love me?

And then He told him, feed my Lamb, feed my Sheep; feed my Sheep! Your Destiny is restored – Amen!

… Yes, so shall it be – Amen.

I give you my own Example to illustrate this – Way baxk in 1951, I was Young then. I am still Young (laughs)! I am only Eighty (80). Now,I use to say: Those who are Younger than I, are Young. If you are Older than I, you are Old.

So, those of you who are Young let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

In 1951 I was a small boy and a Bishop from the Anglican Communion came to visit our Village. And all the School boys lined up to welcome him. And I saw him in his beautiful Robe and his beautiful car.

When I got home told my mother “when I grow up I will be a Bishop.” But as I grew, I forgot everything about the Church.

But God found me out, He saved my Soul and today, I might not be a Bishop but I am too far from being there (laughs)! – He restored my Destiny.

ALTAR CALL

I know there are some People here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Your Destiny might not be where it should be. But if you come and surrender your Life to Jesus Christ, He would reconnect you through the Power of His Resurrection.

So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, Please do so now! Then we will Pray for your Salvation and the Almighty God will do the rest by Himself.

I want to Prophesy that the next time we are having an EUROPEAN CONVENTION, it will be in our own Building (So Nobody will be able to drive us out) – AMEN.

Now those of you who are ready to Genuinely surrender to Jesus Christ, ask Him to have Mercy on you; ask Him to save your Soul. Promise Him that from now on, you will serve Him.

And the rest of us, Please, let’s Intercede for these People for just one (1) Minute. Pray that the One Who saved our Souls would save their Souls also.

Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You!

I want to Thank You for Your Word; and I want to Thank You for these People who have surrendered their lives to You.

Please, rescue them. Forgive them. Let Your Blood wash away their sins. Admit then into the Family of God and give them a Brand New Beginning.

And from now on, anytime they cry unto You, answer them by Fire. And let Your Resurrection Power continue to work for them.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Now I want to rejoice with those of you who have surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ. And I want to Promise you (as a Man of God) that as from now on, I will be Praying for you. So, I will need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests. God bless you!

Everyone of us, are you ready for your Miracle? Yes, we are!

Stand on your feet!

I want you to cry to the Almighty God loud and clear and say: FATHER; Let Your Resurrection Power work upon me now.

… Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God.

Thank You Father! Glory be to God! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

DADDY DECREES:

When You want to Perform a Miracle, You do it suddenly.

Within the next second, every Miracles these Your Children need, give unto them!

We won’t have time now Lord, to lay hands but You are the Almighty God; lay Your Hands on them!

And from this day on Lord, the Power to serve You wholeheartedly, release unto them.

THANKSGIVING

There is something we do in every gathering like this – After the Lord has blessed us, we always say “THANK YOU” to Him.

Please, take your Thanksgiving Offering, and the Almighty God will receive it from you.

And while you are doing that, you have heard Testimonies of Handkerchiefs that have been blessed Performing Miracles.

Lift up your Handkerchiefs or any Piece of Clothing that you want to raise to God. I am going to ask the Almighty God’s Power to come into these Pieces of clothes and you will be sharing Testimonies or the Miracles that will come as a result.

CLOSING PRAYER

And I am using that Name that is above every other names to ask You to Please, saturate every Pieces of Clothing items hat is lifted to You now!

Saturate them with Your Anointing, so that wherever each one is used; Yokes will be destroyed; Miracles will be happening and Your Name will be Glorified.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen .

Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!

Now, as soon as you drop your Thanksgiving offering, Place that Handkerchief on your own head first.
