OPENING PRAYER

Father, how can we ever Thank You enough for what You have done this week?

We give You all Glory, we give You all Honour, the All-sufficient God.

Thank You, our Commander-in-Chief – Thank You for starting well with us and Thank You for ending well with us.

Please, accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name.

Tonight, we are here to bless Your Children; we Pray Father, Bless them!

In a very, very Mighty way, Father bless each and every one of them.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Let Somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

Why don’t you say to Someone on your Right and on your Left: Shake hands with him or her and say, “You are Blessed”!

I want to bless the Name of the Lord, for bringing us to a Successful Conclusion of The RCCG Holy Ghost Congress 2024.

My Assignment here tonight is to bless you – But you are already Blessed!

And you will remain Blessed – Amen.

But before we Pray again; I just want to share one (1) or two (2) things with you quicky.

In the Book of Numbers Chapter 14 – It will be Good if you read the whole Chapter.

Numbers 14: 6-9

6. And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the Land, rent their clothes:
7. And they spake unto all the Company of the children of Israel, saying, The Land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8. If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this Land, and give it us; a Land which floweth with Milk and Honey.
9. Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the People of the Land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

Let me hear somebody shout loud and clear: The Lord is with me, I will not fear.

You know the Story – Moses has just brought the People to the boarder of the Land. And he sent some People to spy the Land. They came back with Reports:

• Ten (10) People said “it cannot be done. We can’t Possess the Land – there are Giants there.”

Yes, the Land is flowing with Milk and Honey; but it’s not Possible!

• Two (2) Youth said, “The Lord is with us, we can Possess the Land – it is bread for us.”

I want to ask us: How many of you really, really, believe that we can take over the world for Christ? The DMC Family Members!

Then let me he hear you Roar Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

We came to this Land where we call Redemption City today, Forty one (41) years ago – I was a Youth then, just a little over forty (40) years old.

The Almighty God who had told me, “I will build you a City” brought me to a Piece of Property a little more than two (2) Acres – The Headquarters of Highway Robbers. And I mean that!

Because when we moved into this Land; and we were just exploring; we saw where they had hundreds of suitcases that they took from People they stopped at the road: shoes, clothes, scattered all over the Place.

The Headquarters of Pythons – We were killing a Python every week. And I mean, huge ones – Pythons. The smallest we killed (I think) was over five (5) meters long – The size of a Palm tree.

Poisonous snakes of all types – I mean, we went to the children’s room one day and underneath the bedsheet was a very deadly snake.

But we will not fear! The Lord has said, this is yours!

Where you are seated now, underneath you, there is a River running.

If you go out there (to my right), you will see the river – It’s running under you.

When it was time for us to hold a Meeting here, this Place was a Swampy Ground, with that River, at least five (5) meters deep.

When we wanted to host the first Convention on this Campground; we had to wait three (3) Months before the rain stopped.

And the Brethren told me: Daddy, we have to look for somewhere else. It’s not possible for this Place to be ready before time.

And you know me, I said, Na Lie!

In the Dictionary of my God, there is no word called ‘impossible.’

They told me, what are we going to do here in this deep River? Do we have the kind of money that would make a Bridge so long from one end of the Auditorium to the other?

I said, bury the River!

We would bury the River – When we finish our Program we would dig it up again.

But that anything is going to stop us? Not when God is on our side.

Once again, turn to your friend and say: God is on our side, we will not fear.

I’m talking to you because you are my children. And there is always the saying, “Like father, like son.”

The Elders have a saying: “An Elephant never gives birth to a dwarf.” The son of an Elephant is automatically big from the day of birth.

By the Special Grace of God, I can say to you like Paul said: “Be followers of me as I am of Christ.”

I am following the Commander-in-chief – He has never failed before. It’s impossible for Him to fail. Nothing can stop Him.

And if nothing can stop Him, nothing can stop me – Amen.

And if nothing can stop me, nothing can stop my children – Amen.

Oh God!

Lift your hand one more time and say: The Lord is with me, I will not fear!

You must leave this Congress with that deep Conviction, “We will take over the world for Jesus Christ.”

You say, “what are you talking about?”

• Don’t you see how few we are?
• Don’t you see how feeble we are?

Who is talking about Strength?

Didn’t the Bible say, “By Strength shall no Man prevail?” (DMC NOTES: 1 Samuel 2:9)

Didn’t the Bible say, “the Horse is Prepared for the day of battle; but Victory is of he Lord?” (DMC NOTES: Proverbs 21:31).

Didn’t the Bible tell you that, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world?” (DMC NOTES: 1 John 4:4).

How can you have the Almighty God on your side and think of Failure?

When I told my children that we are going to have Churches within five (5) Minutes distance; everybody said, “at least not in Lagos – Where are we going to find the Land?”

But the Story is different now – By the Grace of God, at least in Lagos alone, we Probably have close to two thousand (2,000) Branches.

They said, “it can’t be done.” But that’s not what God said.

Ten (10) spies said, no way! Two (2) Boys said, there is a way.

For the rest of your Life, everywhere you turn, ways will open – Amen.

Caleb and Joshua said, “If God delights in us…”

I have Good News for you my Brethren; God is delighted in us – Amen.

March on! Don’t be afraid. There would be Oppositions; but every Opposition would lead to a Testimony – Amen.

You’ve heard so many Stories of what happened here – I don’t have the time to begin to tell you all.

At least, I’ve told you of a tree here; that I went out one Night and I saw that the tree was on fire – There was fire all over the top of the tree.

And I said, Oh! Look at my children, they Prepared fire at the bottom of this tree and forgot to put it out before they went to bed.

But when I woke up the following Morning, I looked at the same tree – The leaves were Green! No trace of fire at all.

I saw the fire burning the Previous Night – I wasn’t Dreaming.

So I called the Carpenters who were there and I said, this is what I saw Last Night.

They said, we were afraid to tell you: Every Night we have been hearing noises inside the tree.

True Story!

I said, is that so? They said, yes! And I said, so the tree is on use on my Land, we will cut it down.

Every evil tree on your Land shall go down Tonight – Amen.

If I was a Youth then, the People I am talking about, they were Younger than me.

So I said, cut down the tree.

Within five (5) Minutes of cutting, the whole Villagers gathered.

Somehow, the devil told them, “they are about to destroy your Altar.”

They said, “What are you doing? If you cut down this tree, it would rise up by tomorrow. And every one of you that took part in the cutting down would be dead.”

I said, Na Lie!

Say it loud and clear: Na Lie?

We cut down the tree; the tree never rose, and we are still alive Today – Hallelujah.

Every Enemy expecting your death, you would hear of their funeral – Amen.

Nothing must stop you – The Lord is with you.

If the Enemy has not been able to stop your father, the same Enemy cannot stop you – Amen.

Go into the world, March on! Let’s take over this world – We are the ones delaying the Lord. He is counting on us.

There are Nations in the world where they say, “There is no room for a Church here.”

I’ve always told the People as a joke – The Redeemed Christian Church of God is going there!

God Bless You my children – Amen.

I want to appeal to you: Please, don’t waste your Youth. Because these are the years of your Strength.

The Bible says, the Glory of the Youth is their Strength – Don’t waste time!

And just like my son (DMC NOTES::Pastor Leke Adeboye’s Talk 2 of Day 5 Evening Message) said yesterday: “Be focused”. Don’t look to the Right or Left; don’t be deceived by thinking that one grass is Greener than yours. Be focused!

We are small today; we will be big tomorrow – Amen.

You say, “we are small today.” Yes, we are! But we are going to be big tomorrow.

ADVICE TO YOUTH

I also have one little Advice for the Youths:

Please, don’t look down on the Elders – Those People you think are not as Youthful as you.

Don’t look down on them. They have tried and they have Laboured;

• They worked with me at a time when we had Practically nothing.
• At a time when we had to fetch firewood, anytime we need to do the cooking here in Camp.
• At a time when we had to dig wells with our hands, to get water to drink.
• At a time when we had to get into the bush and look for anything that looks like Vegetables, for us to Prepare food for Convention.
• They were here with me then, at a time when we had Convention for a whole week and we slaughtered ten (10) cows for a Convention that lasted more than one (1) week.
• They were here when God took us from Two (2) Acres of Land, to a City.

They have tried!

Some of you may think that they are tired.

Even if they are tired, they have tried.

Let me hear Somebody say: God Bless our Elders!

And then one thing I need to tell you about them (the Elders);

There are still some Calebs among them who, even after Forty (40) years, are still ready to say, “Give me this Mountain”.

They are here, full of Fire.

I. They might not be Physically Strong as they used to be but Spiritually, they are still on Fire.

Go ahead, give the Lord a big round of applause for the Elders!

II. They might not be as Strong as they used to be; but they are Wiser, they are more Experienced.

And there are certain things you don’t learn in Bible College – something called, ‘Experience.’

III. They have seen God at work here and so their Faith is deep rooted.

IV. They have seen that there is nothing God cannot do.

Honour the Elders; don’t look down on them.

Let me Close:

I wasn’t Planning to Preach. But there is no way I would be among my children and not be inspired.

One of my children was talking yesterday and he said, “you are a father in a Million.”

I said, in only one Million?

If I am the one saying so, I am saying it with all Humility – There is no father like me.

Not because of me, but because of my children.

No father like me!

I have many children – Wonderful children, Strong children, Mighty Soldiers; Marching forward.

Let my children shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Glory be to God!

Where can you find a father in the world that has the kind of Choir that we have?

Where are you going to find him?

So I am not a father in a Million. I am not even a father in a Billion.

And you are going to be Greater than I – Amen.

Thank You Lord.

BIRTH REPORTS

As at 6.00p.m this Evening, the number of Babies born had risen to Twenty Nine (29): Twelve (12) Boys, Seventeen (17) Girls.

Let the Girls shout Praise the Lord!

And let the Boys Roar Hallelujah!

I want you to Stand on your feet.

And I want you to tell the Almighty God – Father; everything You have done for my father, do more for me.

Open your mouth and cry unto Him – Everything You have done for my father:

You have kept him Healthy, Strong and Marching forward – And I am his child.

Everything You have done for my father, Please do it for me Lord.

My father says I will be Greater than him – Yes Lord, so let it be!

Make me Greater than my father – Keep my Holy Lord, keep me Pure, Steadfast and let me remain a Child of Yours forever.

Everything You have done for my father, do more for me.

Thank You Jesus.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

FATHER’S BLESSING

My Father and my God – You are my Father, You are my God, You are my Support, You are my Provider, You are my All in all.

In Jesus’ Name I decree concerning all these Children You have given to me:

Let them be Greater than I.

Let them remain Healthy, Stronger and Anointed.

Everywhere they go, let them find Favour with You and with Men.

Don’t let them fail, don’t let them fall, and don’t let them look back.

Every Obstacles on their way, remove right now.

And the Headquarters of Satan in their lives, Father I decree, demolish it now!

For the rest of their lives, let there be Nothing called ‘impossible.

Empower them, Support them, Strengthen then, and Promote them.

Make them the Head and don’t let them ever be the Tail.

Let it be well with them.

And together, let us take the world for You.

Whenever You return, don’t let any of us be left behind.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name I have Prayed – Amen.

Turn to one (1) or two (2) People, tell them: “I told you, that you are Blessed!

And then you lift up your hand to the Almighty God and just Bless His Holy Name.

Give Him Glory, give Him Honour, give Him Adoration!
