Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God will Surprise you today!
And you may Please be seated.
Well, Congratulations my Beloveth Son and his wife – DMC NOTES: Pastor Femi Enigbokan (PFem) and Pastor (Mrs) Oluwatoyin Enigbokan.
You may not appreciate what God is doing now because I have taken a “Firm Decision” long time ago that I will leave “Church Dedications” to my Assistants.
But to every Rule, there is an Exception – So, you are an Exception and your Congregation is an Exception.
Congratulations! God Bless You!
In the Last few years, if I ever dedicated any Church – Particularly at home (DMC NOTES: “Home” refers to Nigeria); I simply go in, Pray the Prayer that I just Prayed, ask the People Present to ask for whatever they want and then I said “It is Done in Jesus Name” and then I will walk out.
But again here, I am going to Preach!
… There must be something Special about this Church!
Psalms 16:11:
Thou wilt show me the Path of Life: in thy Presence is Fullness of Joy; at thy Right Hand there are Pleasures for evermore.
… In thy Presence is Fullness of Joy!
If we are to do a Bible Study on that Passage (Psalms 16:11); we would have taken the Bible Text from the Angle of “Fullness of Joy”.
And then look at “Joy” and then look at the “Spectrum of Joy”.
We will look at it from the Angle that:
I. Somewhere far to the Left, there is something called “Sorrow Unspeakable”.
And you will find this if you Study the Story of Job – That when the friends of Job came to see him and they saw what had happened to him; for seven (7) Days and seven (7) Nights, they sat down with him in Sorrow without Speaking a word.
… And that is called “Sorrow Unspeakable” – And that is one end.
II. And then, you continue to climb from that Valley and you get to the Extreme End on the far Right; that is called “Joy Unspeakable”.
When one is so full of Joy that he can’t even say it out.
III. And then we come to the Center of it all and considered what is called “The Fullness of Joy”.
And then, we can discuss the fact why it is only in the Presence of God that your Joy can be Full.
Because when you are out there; the Bible says that you are to Rejoice with those who Rejoice and you are to Weep with those that Weep.
Which means that even if you are not the one in Sorrow and you see Someone else in Sorrow; we are to Share.
But in the Presence of God, Sorrow is not allowed at all – It is Joy that is Full!
And if this is the only thing that I have to say to you today; it will be enough.
And that is to tell you that because you are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; from this moment onwards, you will know the Fullness of Joy – Amen!
But then, how come the Bible says that: “In the Presence of God, there is Fullness of Joy”?
It is because:
- He is the Great Physician – He never refers a Case.
If Jesus Christ does not heal you, it can only means one thing – Your Appointed Time to die has come.
But to say that He can’t heal; forget it.
When all Doctors has said that there is Nothimg more we can do; Jesus Christ will say that is Good – Now when I heal you, they will know Who did the Healings.
That is why if you read Mark 2: 1-12 – Those boys who brought their friends who has been Paralysed from neck downwards; when they got to where Jesus Christ was and there was no room to come in, they went to the roof, broke the roof and lowered the boy down.
Why? If only we can get this Man to the Presence of God, where we know that the Problem will be Solved.
Now, they didn’t carried you here today but you came in by the Grace of God!
Right now, you are in His Presence and in the Name that is above every other name; you won’t leave with your Sickness – Amen!
So, if the Sick comes to His Presence; he will say: I have come to the Last Bus Stop, I have come to the Great Physician Himself and so my Joy can begin!
- If they bring in the Captive – Someone who is bound by all manners of demons and Forces of Darkness; the moment they can just get to the Presence of the Lord, they know that Freedom comes.
Because the One in whose House they are is so Powerful.
So, you can Understand what happens in Mark 5: 2-20; it tells you the Story of the Mad Man of Gadara.
That Man who has not just one Demon troubling him but handful of thousands of them.
Because Bible Scholars have not fully agreed on what a Legion actually means – But they seems to all agreed that when we talk about a Legion, we are talking of at least six thousand (6,000).
So, if a Single Man has six thousand (6,000) demons troubling him, you should know that your own case is better than that Man.
It doesn’t matter how many Enemies came with you from whatever Nation that you came from – I don’t think that they are up to six thousand (6,000)!
So, when that Man suddenly saw Jesus Christ coming – Ha, I can’t go to Church but the Church has come to me; he fell down at His feet and began to Worship Him.
Read the Story very well – He didn’t say a word. It was the demons who started speaking.
The Man himself just saw Jesus Christ coming and said that my Day has come – Fell on his feet and by the time he was getting up, he was free.
In the Name that is above every other name; it doesn’t matter how many Forces of Darkness has been bothering you, they will leave you alone today – Amen!
- When the Poor comes into His Presence, something within the Poor tells him thar my Poverty is over.
Because the One into whose Presence he is coming is the One who said in Genesis 17:1 – He said that I am the LORD God Almighty.
Put in another way, He said: I am the One who said I am God Who is More Than Enough.
But the Bible Scholars – Those who knows the Bible really well said that He is saying: “I am God, your Mother’s Breast”.
The implication of that is this – It doesn’t matter how hungry you are; you can suck the Breast of your Mother, drink as much Milk as you like and when you are tired, the Milk is still flowing.
After you have taken everything to the extent that you say: God, I don’t need anymore; God will tell you that I still have much more.
I have told you once – When I first read Psalms 23:5 as a Born Again Christian – Thou Anointed my head with Oil, my Cup runs over.
In those days, I used to ask God a lot of Questions – I was a very Curious Christian.
And I said: Father, when the Cup was full, why didn’t you stop? Why is the Cup running over? Is that not a Wastage?
He said that I just want to show the boy that I have much more from where this thing is coming from.
Do I decree to Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – That kind of Blessings that you will say to God: God, this is “Too Much”; receive it right now – Amen!
- Now, when the Barren comes into His Presence, she knows that, that Barrenness is over.
When you read Genesis 18: 1-14 (Infact you can start Studying from Genesis Chapter 12); the Bible tells us that for years, God has been Promising Abraham – Oh, you will be the father of many Nations. Your Child will be like Stars and so on and so forth.
But the day God Himself visited, the day Abraham and Sarah sat face to face with God Almighty; God said that I am not Promosing now but I’m decreeing.
I have told you in the Past – One of these days, you will be the father of Nations; but today I am saying that within the next nine (9) Months, the first baby will come.
So, I have Good News for those of you who has been making Fruitless Efforts – Because another word for Barrenness is that you are Struggling and there is Nothing to show for it. In that Name that is above every other name; yoir Fruitless Efforts end today – Amen!
- Why should a Sinner be happy if he finds himself in the Presence of God?
Because the Sinners in the Presence of God knows – At long last, here comes the Saviour.
And when God saves you, it turns everything round – His Blood cleanses from all sins you know that.
The Bible tells us in Matthew 1:20 that His Name shall be called Jesus, for He shall save the People from all their sins.
I. Occasionally, a Sinner will look back and say that I wish I didn’t do what I did.
II. Occasionally, a Murderer will say: Why did I do that? The Fellow I killed cannot be brought back to Life.
III. Occasionally, a Young Boy or Young Girl will remembered something he/she did in the time of Foolishness – Maybe: some Stealing, a little bit of Fraud, Cheating in the Exams Hall, disobeying Parents; and then say: How I wished I never did that?
And knowing that you are helpless to go to the Past and put things right.
And suddenly, you find yourself in the Presence of the Saviour who can wipe away every Evil things you have ever done before.
And then, you suddenly realised that it is written: If any Man be in Christ, He is a New Creature; Old Things are Passed away, behold all things has become New.
You wondered why then Somebody gets Born Again and is so full of Joy?
I have always said that if you say that you give your Life to Jesus Christ and you are not Overflowing with Joy; go back to the Altar – It means that the right thing hasn’t happened!
Some years ago, I went to Minister at the University of Ibadan (DMC NOTES: Ibadan is the Capital City of Oyo State, Western Part of Nigeria).
And one of the Professors there got Born Again – I used to go there every Month.
The following Month when I went back, the Professor said: Pastor, I have a Question for you.
And because he was a Professor, I was getting ready for a really big “Theological Question” – And I Prayed quietly: God, help me today.
Sir, what is the Question?
He said: Sir, I hope it is not dangerous to be happy all the time because that is what I have been having since last Month.
I said that is the Plan of God for you and that it is our sin that has introduced us to Sorrow.
And some of us has become used to Sorrow now that if something Good happens to us; we are afraid to Rejoice.
When you are truly Born Again, you will know Joy – Joy Unspeakable; Joy that you can’t even explain.
And I know what I am talking about – In those days when I was a “Little Child” in the Lord, I will wake up in the Night with a Song in my mouth and I will wonder what is it that is making me happy?
I. I am happy that I am no longer going to Hell.
II. I am happy now that God is my friend.
III. I am happy that one day, I will see Jesus Christ in Glory.
IV. I am happy that with the Present situation now, I can cry unto God and He will answer me.
So, if a Sinner comes into the Presence of God, he can go back full of Joy!
And I am encouraging Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; before I Pray, if when you say you give your Life to Jesus you don’t know that Joy – That Joy that flows like a River, that Joy that boils up from within you, just Springing up.
If you don’t know that kind of Joy; maybe you need to come back to the Altar and come and ask for the “Real Thing”.
If you come to the Altar with the Sorrow of sin and then the One who is called “The Burden Bearer” takes the burden of your sin away; you will go back Rejoicing and then you will know Joy for the rest of your Life!
ALTAR CALL
So, if you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC; and you are not sure of your Salvation; or you have not even answered the Altar Call – Why don’t you come and do so now.
This is a Day like no other Day that you know!
So, I’m going to count from one (1) to four (4) – If you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, come and Stand before the Altar and I will Pray for you and then we will be on our way.
If you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, Please come now as I’m counting!
Now, those of you who are infront, talk to the Lord and say that Jesus Christ I have come to You, I surrender my Life to You; Please save my Soul, forgive all my sins and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
Now, the rest of us; let us Stretch our hands to our New Brothers and Sisters and Pray that God will give them Genuine Salvation – That kind of Salvation that will make everything New for them.
Pray and Intercede for them – That the Lord will give them Genuine Salvation so that everything will become New for them.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, I just want to say Thank You – Thank You for Your Words and Thank You for this Special Day.
Lord God Almighty, I’m committing those Your New friends into Your Hands; they have come now asking for Mercy; Please be Merciful unto them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away all their sins, write their names in the Book of Life, let them become True Children of God.
And from now on, anytime they Call on You; answer them by Fire and Please Lord, don’t let them backslide.
Thank You my Father and my God.
And later on, all Your Children here will be asking You for one thing or the other; Please Lord, whatever they ask from You today, before the Sun Sets, let it become a Testimony.
Thank You my Father and my God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Now, it is your own turn to Pray!
You are in the Presence of God and I have asked Him that whatever you ask Him today; before the Sun Sets, you will get it.
So, you are going to lift your Voice to the Almighty God loud and clear and say: Father, this Day; give me my Miracle. And tell Him as well what you want!
Forget every other Person around you and say: God, just give me a “Dedication Miracle” – A Miracle I will remember this Day for. Please give it to me!
Go ahead and talk to the Lord!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
