OPENING PRAYER

Our Heavenly Father, You are the Father of all fathers.

We Thank You for Your Investment on our lives, we Thank You for saving our Souls, we Thank You for Mercy that we don’t deserve, we Thank You for Privileges and Opportunities – Please Father, accept our Thanks in the Name of Jesus Christ.

My Lord, I will like to register my Weakness as usual – That there is Nothing any Man of God can do without the God of Man. You are the God of Man.

Father this Morning, use me and bless these Your Children in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Wherever you are or as you read now on the Label of DMC – For saying Amen, you will not be hungry in the Kitchen in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Because you are going to say a “Louder Amen”; your tomorrow will be “Better” and not “Bitter” in the Name of Jesus Christ.

You will not beg to live and you will not live to beg in the Name of Jesus Christ.

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

Glory be to the Lord Almighty!

I want to Thank the Almighty God for this Year’s School of Disciples (SOD) Convention and I want to bless God for all the Principal Officers – I thank God for all my Brothers and Sisters.

I bless God for our daddy – Daddy GO, I bless God for our mummy – Mummy GO and I bless God for our National Overseer – Pastor Sunday Edwards Akande who has spoken.

I Pray that before you leave this Place today, the Blessings of the Lord will locate you – Amen!

And beginning from today, the Blessings of God will never cease or diminish in your lives – Amen!

The Topic is: “STOP LIMITING THE UNLIMITED”.

Individuals can limit themselves.

I mean we saw in the Bible, even among our friends, our colleagues, those who has been Limited.

Look at the Story of Mummy Hannah for instance – She experienced Delay in Conception.

In other words, she was in the School of Waiting – She was on the Waiting List of God.

And I like to declare to my fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters that the “Time of Waiting” on the Lord is not a Waste – It is better to be on the Waiting List of God than to be on the Wasting List of the Devil.

Despite the fact that Mummy Hannah experienced Delay, she never Limited herself – She never stopped going Shiloh.

It was in one of the several Visitations to Shiloh that God remembered her and gave her Samuel.

This Morning, God will remember you – Amen!

If she has stopped going to Shiloh, the Story would have been different from what we are reading about today.

Tell your Neighbour – Don’t Limit yourself!

The other Possibility is: You can be Limited!

In other words, People can Limit you and you are going to say No to them.

So, I am going to focus this Morning on: 2 Kings 2:1-10:

  1. And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into Heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
  2. And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I Pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy Soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
  3. And the sons of the Prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy Master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your Peace.
  4. And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I Pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy Soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
  5. And the sons of the Prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy Master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your Peace.
  6. And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I Pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy Soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
  7. And fifty men of the sons of the Prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
  8. And Elijah took his Mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry Ground.
  9. And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I Pray thee, let a Double Portion of thy Spirit be upon me (You will receive Double Portion today in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen!)
  10. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

May the Lord bless us through His Words in Jesus Name – Amen.

May I say this that whatsoever you come across with in Life, if it is not a Blessing to you then it must be a Lesson to you!

So, this Morning; we want to learn the Attributes of People who cannot be Limited.

Because whether you believed it or not; even if you are not going to limit yourself; there are People out there among your Colleagues in your family, even in the Church who will limit you. But you will say No!

There are People you came across – Permit me to sat this: They have “PHD”. That is “PULL HIM/HER DOWN”.

But you must reject them because if you don’t reject the devil’s Offer, you can’t go far in Life.

WHAT ARE THE ATTRIBUTES OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT BE LIMITED?

From the Passage that we read – 2 Kings 2: 1-10:

  1. The People that cannot be Limited has a Focus!

They knew where they are going and so they focused on their Goal.

Elisha was focused – He had the eyes that see and not the eyes that look. Many eyes look but few eyes see.

He knew what he wanted and he Pursued it and he get it.

He wasn’t after Title, but he went for the Mantle.

Some People don’t have Future Ambition. We called them “NFA” – “No Future Ambition”.

Elisha had a Focus on his Goal and he made it.

So, if you don’t want to be Limited like Elisha, Please Focus on your Goal in Life!

  1. The People that are not Limited ignores Distractions.

Elisha ignored Distractions and he never Compromised.

If you don’t Stand for something, you will fall for anything because this Present world is full of Distractions and Attractions.

Unfortunately, most of the Worldly Distractions, they came in Attractive Packages.

I. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – The three (3) “Unyielding Hebrews Boys”; they refused to Compromise.

II. Joseph refused to Compromised – He said No to the Request of his Master’s wife.

If you rest on the Lord, He will take care of the rest!

  1. The People who don’t want to be Limited, they are Unstoppable.

It doesn’t matter how hard you try to stop them, they remained Unstoppable.

Elisha was Unstoppable:

I. Elijah, his Master wanted him to wait but Elisha refused to stop.

II. The sons of the Prophets tried to make him stop but Elisha kept on Moving Forward – Workiny in Purpose and in Faith; until he made it to Jordan – The Place of Reward!

I say it with Authority right from this Altar – You will make it to your own Jordan (Amen).

  1. Those who cannot be Limited in their Journey, they don’t give Excuses.

Elisha never gave an Excuse!

Check the Bible very well, the People who gave Excuses never go far:

I. Genesis 3:12 – Adam gave an Excuse after he ate the Forbidden Fruit.

II. 1 Samuel 13: 11 and 14 – King Saul gave an Excuse when he failed to wait for Samuel as he was Instructed.

III. Matthew 25: 14-30 – The Unprofitable Servant gave an Excuse.

The end result of each of those People was Miserable!

  1. The People that cannot be Limited are they that are “Price Payers”.

They are willing to Pay any Price in other to achieve their Goals.

Remember that the Price Payers are the Prize Winners!

Thank God today, Gifts will be distributed to Outstanding People.

Remember that Vision without Provision is equal to Television.

Elisha left his Business – He didn’t “Go Up”, he “Grew Up” under the Master!

He was under Authority.

You are not Permitted to be in Authority if you have not been under Authority!

If you are not reigning now, it is because God still want you to be in Training. Then after your Training, you will reign – Amen!

Another Danger is that if you appear to be “Too Early” before your time; you are likely to Expire when your Time comes.

May you never Expire in Jesus Name – Amen.

  1. The People that cannot be Limited must “Stand Out” among the Crowd.We

I. Elisha “Stood Out” among the Crowd – He followed his Master while the sons of the Prophets were just Spectators/Fans.

II. Elisha left the “Class of the Rest” for the “Class of the Best”.

Who are you Following?

You must arise before you can arrive.

Remember who you follow, determine who follows you.

III. Elisha, needed a Leader as a Ladder; and he needed a Mentor and not a Mentholaton.

You need Someone who is a Voice and not an Echo; otherwise you will not go far.

The Question is: Who are you following?

Who you follow determines what follows you.

Not all Leaders are Good – Some of them they will discourage you, some of them will envy you.

Anyway it is better to be envied than to be Pitied!

I used to tell People when I had Invitations:

Someone said that if I want to Set-Up my own Church, He will sponsor me. And the guy is a Multi-Billionare. Yes, he has all the resources and that is the 2nd or 3rd Invitations.

And I told all of them the same thing – It is better to be at the back of a Lion than to be infront of a Cow.

That Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) functions Properly; therefore I want to die under Authority – And I think that is Wisdom.

  1. Those who cannot be Limited don’t give up easily – They don’t quit irrespective of the Challenges.

Because Quitters never win and Winners never quit.

Elisha never gave up despite all what the sons of the Prophets were feeding him with – Don’t you know that your Master is going to be taking away from you today?

He said that I know – Mind your own Business Man!

And he continued the Journey – He never stopped and he never gave up.

Despite all what Mummy Hannah went through; she never stopped going to Shiloh and at the end, God gave her a result that cancelled all the insults in her Life.

Remember that “Difficult Roads” sometimes lead to “Beautiful Destination”.

You remembered the Story of Abraham Lincoln of the United States of America (USA).

He was a Man that walked in Purpose and Faith – He suffered several defeats but refused to “Give Up”. He was Unstoppable and Nobody could limit him.

Maybe you have not read about him – He failed in Elections not once, not twice, not five times.

I. In 1832, he failed in an Election.

I. He contested again in 1838 and he failed.

III. He went to the Polls in 1840 and he failed again.

IV. In 1843, he lost another Election.

V. In 1855, he still lost an Election.

VI. In 1856, he failed once again to win an Election.

VII. In 1858, he still failed in winning an Election.

VIII. He kept on until 1860 when finally he was Elected as the President of the United States of America (USA).

Tell your Neighbour – Don’t Quit; very soon “Iyanu” (Meaning Miracle) will “Sele” (Meaning Happen).*

A former President in Nigeria here did it – The first time he failed, the 2nd time he failed, the 3rd Time he failed but in the 4th time; he made it – So, don’t quit but keep on moving.

DMC NOTES: President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR – Born on the 17th December 1942 is a Nigerian Politician who served as the President of Nigeria from 29th May 2015 to 29th May 2023. Earlier as a Retired Nigerian Army Major General, he served as the Military Head of State of Nigeria from 31st December 1983 to 27th August 1985 after seizing Power in a Military Coup from Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari, GCFR (25th February 1925 to 26th December 2018)- The first Democratically Elected President and 2nd Republic President of Nigeria (1st October 1979 to 31st December 1983). It will be recalled that President Buhari had earlier contested for the Presidency in 2003, 2007, 2011 – And lost in all of these 3 times!

  1. People who cannot be Limited don’t talk “Too Much” but they Act – Action!

I. Elijah and Elisha started the Journey from Gilgal to Bethel; from Bethel to Jericho; from Jericho to Jordan.

While they were going and these People were trying to limit him (Elisha); trying to discourage him – He kept on talking to them and was Moving.

II. The Prodigal Son made up his Mind to return to his father, to return to his Source – He said it, he rehearsed it and he acted it.

You must take “Certain Actions” before you can see God in Action!

The Good News is that Elisha made it to Jordan – A Place of Reward!

All the sons of the Prophets who were trying to discourage him, who were trying to limit him; they eventually bowed to him.

I decree in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ that all your Mockers will soon bow to your Maker – Amen!

So, let me ask you this Question – Where exactly are you right now?

  1. Some of us are still in Gilgal – The Starting Point and we are Comfortable.

If you are “Too Comfortable” in Egypt, you will never make it to the Promised Land!

  1. Some of us has made it to Bethel – We are tired but Please, don’t be tired. Move Forward!
  2. Some of us are already in Jericho – But Jericho has Nothing to offer you.
  3. Make sure that you make it to Jordan – When you make it to Jordan, whatever People are running after will run after you (Amen).

So this Morning, you need a “PUSH” – And God has sent me here to Push you!

You don’t need to go Germany before you jam your Blessings!

You don’t need to go to UK before you can be Okay!

You don’t need to go to France before you get your Fiancee!

If you are where God wants you to be and you are doing what God wants you to do; whatever others are running after will locate you where you are in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Amen!

When you get to your Jordan, then you will be able to say:

Ija dopin oguun si tan (The Strive is O’er, the battle done)
Olugbala jagun molu (The Victory of Life is won)
Orin ayo la o ma ko (The Song of Triumph has begun)
Hallelujah!

I want to end with a Story:

There was this Multi-Billionare in a Particular Community who has just one beautiful daughter. She was a beautiful daughter and Marriageable but still Single – She was Single because no Man was bold enough to approach her because of the influence of her father.

I think that her father got to know that he was the one responsible for the delay and so one day he went out and invited all the Marriageable Youths to his house and he told them that he was going to give them an Examination and whoever Passed will marry his daughter.

So, all the Youths were Prepared – Some of them went with writing Materials (Pen and Pencil); some of them went with Cutlasses, Hoes and whatever.

So, they got there on that Day and the Man came out and met all of them and said: You don’t need Paper or Pen ot Cutllasses or Hoes or whatever. I have a Swimmimg Pool and that is where you are going to do the Examination – The first Person to swim across will be my In-law.

Oh God, the boys were happy – Today, we go marry. And so some of them had already removed their Shirts.

On getting to the Swimming Pool, they were shocked.

They were shocked because there were all kinds of Reptiles – Snakes, Crocodiles, etc and so they were afraid.

DMC NOTES: Crocodiles are large semi-aquatic reptiles that lives in water. They are Lizard-Like in appearance and belongs to the reptile Order called Crocodylia.

Those who has put off their Shirts began to wear them back – That if one want to die, must it because of what?

While they were still contemplating, still wondering; one Man was already inside the Swimming Pool – And you need to see the way He was Swimming and finally he got to the other side of the Swimming Pool.

When he came out, he shouted: Who Pushed me?

Apparently, he didn’t go into the Swimming Pool Intentionally as Somebody Pushed him.

But eventually, he got married to the Multi-Billionare daughter and he became Wealthy afterwards.

You need a “PUSH” – I am Pushing you towards your Desstiny this Morning and you will make it in the Name of Jesus (Amen).

I am Challenging you – You are not where God wants you to be yet. You can still make it and you will make it – Amen!

And so the downfall of a Man who is in Christ can never be the end of his Life!

  1. In case you don’t know – Joseph experienced what I called a “PUSH”.

What happened?

I. His brothers envied him and they hated him – They casted him to a Pit, they removed him and sold him into Slavery. But they didn’t know that they were giving him a “PUSH”.

II. He got to Portiphar’s house – Mrs Portiphar also gave him a “PUSH” by lying against him.

Then Mr Portiphar without Due Process sent him to the Prison.

III. When he got to the Prison, he met the Chief Butler who eventually recommended him to King Pharaoh.

IV. He got to King Pharaoh and he eventually became the Prime Minister.

Who did God used for Joseph?

I. His “Wicked Brothers” gave him a “PUSH” – If they didn’t sell him, he won’t made it to Egypt.

II. If Mrs Portiphar did not lied against him, he won’t have made it to the Prison.

III. If he had not made it to the Prison, he won’t have met the Chief Butler who eventually recommended him to King Pharaoh.

Please know that all things work together for Good!

Elisha made it to Jordan – That is a Prayer Point. You too will make it to Jordan – Amen!

I was somewhere and they sent Hired Assasin to me because I was disturbing some People.

And then the Hired Assasin asked after me – Where is Pastor JT? And the Security Guard said I have not seen him.

So, he moved towards the Security Guard and pull up his shirt – That Man saw “The Truth and the Life”.

So I was called, we reported to the Commissioner of Police in Lagos and then the Commissioner of Police said something – He said: Pastor, do you know what I want you to do? Is it Possible for you to buy another car so that they won’t know? And I said it is Possible.

So, I bought another car. Two Months after, I bought another one; a Month after, I bought another car.

By the Month of December, I discovered that everywhere was filled up with cars and I now said that it shall be well with the Hired Assasin – If not for him, I won’t have acquired all these Assets.

Don’t let anybody limit you.

Excuse me sir – If you buy a Jet today, those who will talk will talk. True or False?

If you don’t buy a Jet, those who will talk will talk. True or False.

Why not buy and let them talk.

Shall we rise Brethren!

  1. You will say: Father, I Thank You for what You have done through me. Please, take all the Glory in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Thank You Father. In Jesus Name we have given Thanks – Amen!

  1. You are going to say: Father, I have started this Journey, Please let me finish well and let me finish Strong in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Jesus Name we have Prayed – Amen.

God will give you the Grace to leave the Class of the Rest for the Class of the Best!

I want to give you a Gift before I leave:

Few years ago, I got a Gift from my father-in-the-Lord – A Suit.

And when I got home, I wore the suit with the trousers and I Prayed a “Dangerous Prayer” – And I told my wife that I won’t adjust or alter this Suit. I wore the Suit and it is bigger.

And I said: Father, I use this as a Point of Contact – Apart from Anointing, I said that I want “Oversized Blessings”. I don’t want “Credit Alert”” but “Credit Alarm”.

And the Lord answered my Prayers and He is still answering till now.

But what really surprised me was that one of my Spiritual sons came to my house and said that I should Pray for him as he wanted to go to Abuja.

I said: No, I’m not Praying for you. Wear this Suit. And I told him the Genesis of the Suit.

He put on the Suit and we just decreed – Lord, a Credit Alarm like You did to me.

He left my house here for Abuja and he got a Political Appointment instantly.

I believed that there is Someone among those Clapping now or reading now on the Label of DMC; who want an “Oversize Blessings” – Yes o, for the DMC Family Members!

  1. I want you to cry and say: Father, before this Seventh Month (July) expires, let me receive “Oversize Blessings”; “Oversize Miracles”; “Oversize Anointing”; “Oversize Breakthroughs”; “Oversize Favour” in the Name Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do for me More Than my Expectations.

So shall it be – In Jesus Name we have Prayed – Amen!

CLOSING PRAYER

Father, once again we want to say Thank You sir.

We returned all the Glory to You for what You have done and for what You will still do.

Father, take all the Glory in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Brethren, with Authority I say right from this Altar – The Next Time I see any of you, I will hear Testimonies in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank You Father Lord.

In Jesus Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Thank You – God Bless You very much!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
