OPENING PRAYER

Immortal, Invincible, the Only Wise God.

The One that was not Democratically Elected and so cannot be Democratically removed.

The One who reigns Supreme and the One who rules in the affairs of Men.

We return all the Glory back to You.

Thank You for what You have been doing from the Beginning of this Year and even up until now.

Lord, we Thank You for making us to see to the fact that we are Destined for Greatness.

Please be Glorified in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Father, anoint this mouth of Clay to bring forth the Mysteries of Your Word and let the Word bless everyone who will hear it in the Name of Jesus.

At the end of everything, let the Name of Jesus be Glorified.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

I like you to say to two (2) or three (3) Persons around you: “I am Destined for Greatness”. What about you?

Permit me to greatly appreciate the Grace of God in the lives of our Parents-In-The-Lord – Daddy and Mummy Adeboye.

Thank You sir, Thank You ma for the Opportunity and Privilege given to me.

By the Grace of God, their Paths crossed mine about thirty one (31) Years ago at the Premier Parish in Ibadan Oyo State. And God laid it in my Heart that this is the Light – Like the Wise Men from the East saw it.

And He said follow them.

And to the Glory of God today, we Thank God that the Light of God is still Showing and God is expanding it from Nation to Nation.

May the Light never dwindle in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

And I want to Thank God for all our fathers and mothers in the House – Thank God for all yoir Sacrifices and it will never go in vain in Jesus Mighty Name (Amen).

1 Chronicles 29:11-12:

11. Thine, O LORD, is the Greatness, and the Power, and the Glory, and the victory, and the Majesty: for all that is in the Heaven and in the Earth is thine; thine is the Kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12. Both Riches and Honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is Power and Might; and in thine hand it is to make Great, and to give Strength unto all.

May the Lord bless the reading of His Words in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

We Serve a God who is not only Great but is Greatly to be Praised.

The Bible says in Psalms 48:1 – It says that Great is the Lord and Greatly to be Praised. In the City of our God, in the Mountain of His Holiness.

Our God is not only Great, His Name is Great, His Words are Great, His Actions are Great and everything that is Known and Written about Him speaks of Greatness.

But the Bible made me to understand that God is not only Great, He also has the Power to make Great!

A God who can Pick a Beggar from the dunghill and He can make him to sit among Princes.

When we talk about “Destined For Greatness”; I like you to know that the word “Greatness” could be seriously misunderstood by many Persons.

When you talk about “Greatness”, some People mistake it for “Bigness” – There is a difference between a “Big Man” and a “Great Man”.

A “Big Man” will impress or oppress People with his Wealth but a “Great Man” will influence People with his Life.

Every Human Being has the desire to be Great.

If there is a desire in your Heart to be Great, it is not something that is wrong.

Because even the Bible says: If any Man desires the Office of a Bishop, it says that he has desired something Good.

So, when you have a desire in your Heart to be Great; it is what God has Planted in your Heart.

Why? Because a Great God cannot give birth to a Lowly Life Person or Most Low Person.

So, Greatness in the context of our God is not Bigness – It is not about Wealthiness alone but it is talking about living a Life of Influence.

And I am sure that you know that: Not everyone who is Rich is Blessed but everyone who is Blesseed will end up being Rich.

Because the Bible says it in Proverbs 10:22 – It says that: It is the Blessings of the Lord that maketh rich and adds no Sorrow to it.

So, Greatness is not one hundred Percent what the definition that the world gave to it.

God is Great and He desires that everyone of His Children to be Great.

Infact He Destined us to be Great because there is a Seed of Greatness inside of you if you are a Child of God.

If you die without Strikimg that Greatness; it will be an insult on Calvary and it will be an insult on Him who has made us.

But hear this: Some are born Great, some are made Great and there are some that Greatness is conferred on them.

There is a tendency to be born Great, you can be made Great and along the way, you can see that Greatness can be thrusted upon you.

1. Some are Born Great.

When we talk about Greatness from birth, Jesus Christ was born Great.

Luke 1: 32-33 says: He shall be Great and shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord shall give unto Him the Throne of His father David.

But you will noticed that despite the fact that He was born Great, He was born in a Manger.

That tells you something that is very Strange:

That your Background does not put your back on the Ground.

That you are born in a Low Place does not Signify that there is no Greatness inside of you!

But before Jesus leave this Planet Earth, His Greatness went Abroad.

I speak over the Life of Somebody under the Sound of my voice today or reading now on the Label of DMC: By the virtue of what God will release Tonight, your Greatness will find Expression – Amen!

So, it is better to be born Small and die Great than to be born Great and die Small.

2. Greatness can also be made out of Somebody.

Which means that some People gets Greatness through Acquittances – Who they walk with and Follow.

DMC NOTES: Acquittance in terms of Relationship means Someone that you know but not Close Intimately – Not Close friend but you have met them and interacted with them (Casual Familiarity).

When you take Genesis 13: 5-7; God made Abraham Great and Lot was Great because he tagged along with Abraham.

God blessed Abraham because He called him but God didn’t call Lot – It was only Abraham that God called.

But the Bible said that a time came when the two (2) of them became so Great and there was Conflicts even among their Employees.

3. Greatness cam also be Conferred.

Acts 1:8 says: But ye shall receive Power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the Uttermost Part of the Earth.

Jesus Christ had surrounding Him People who looks like People of Low Reputation – Fishermen was there, those who are mending Nets, those who are Casting Nets and some of them were even collecting Taxes.

But by the time Jesus Christ robbed Greatness on them; all over the world today, even after over two thousand (2,000) Years that Peter had died there are still Places of Worship that are being built and they are being called “Saint Peters”.

I want to Pray for Somebody under the Sound of my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: After you are long gone, your Greatness will still be Speaking for you – Amen!

But I want you to know that: Whether you are born Great or you are made Great or Greatness is thrusted upon you; you need to know that there are Prices that needed to be Paid for that Greatness to manifest.

If not, Jesus Christ who happened to be the Son of the Most High wouldn’t have been here on Earth.

And He was seen doing certain things so that His Plan and His Purpose that God has Destined for His Life will be fulfilled.

I’m sure that by the time He was thirty three (33) Years Old and the devil arranged for His Death, Satan never knew that Jesus Christ was a Seed.

When He was buried, the devil didn’t know that He was being Planted.

He (Satan) expected that as He (Jesus Christ) has been buried, His Name would have been gone like that.

But like a Seed that has been Planted, Jesus Christ rose again and He became the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

And His Name went everywhere.

And the Bible says that at that Name of Jesus Christ; that every knees should bow (DMC NOTES: Philippians 2: 9-11)

I want to Pray that every situation(s) that has kept you under; very soon they will see you rise Triumphantly – Amen.

When you Study the Bible, you will see that Greatness is Part of the Life of the Children of God:

Abraham was Great.

In Genesis Chapter 12, God said to him that I will not only make you Great; I will make your name Great.

Abraham was so Great to an extent that his Greatness became something that was an envy of a Nation – A whole King was frightened because of the God of Abraham and how He has made Abraham Great.

But I saw something in the Book of Genesis – The Bible made me to understand that when Abraham was going to leave the Planet Earth, he called his children and he said to them: “I am about to go and I will like to share with you what I own”.

The Bible made me to understand that:

☆ Abraham has one child through Sarah (DMC NOTES: Read Genesis 21: 1-3 – Isaac).

☆ Abraham has a Child through Hagar (DMC NORES: Read Genesis 16: 1-4 – Ishmael).

☆ Then Keturah has six (6) sons for Abraham (DMC NOTES: Read Genesis 25: 2-6 – Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah).

So, it means Abraham has eight (8) sons in all.

And the Scriptures says: And Abraham gave all that he had unto the children of the Concubines (DMC NOTES: Hagar and Keturah) but unto Isaac, he still gave something.

Then the Question arose: “How could you give “All” but yet you still have something to give?

So, for all the other seven (7) sons; Abraham gave his Bank Accounts, Businesses, Clothings and Estates.

But when he looked at Isaac; Abraham laid hands on Isaac and he said unto him: What made me who I am, let it rest upon your Life.

Every other Persons that received something from Abraham, the Bible said that what they got were Gifts – He gave Gifts to the other children.

But he gave Substance unto Isaac!

DMC NOTES: Read Genesis 25: 5-6

And it is interesting to see that Greatness can be a Spirit!

That is why you will noticed that even when Isaac was about to die, he called his son Esau.

He said: Get me Venison (DMC NOTES: Venison is meat from a Deer) so that my Soul may bless you (DMC NOTES: Genesis 27: 1-4).

In another word, what my father Passed over to me; I want to Pass it across to you.

But I am sure that you remembered that the Blessings was meant for Esau but it was Jecob that took the Blessings (DMC NOTES: Genesis 27: 18-41).

The Bible made me to understand that when Jacob took the Blessings, he had to run away from home from his brother – He went with a Sack on his Shoulder and a Staff in his hand (DMC NOTES: Genesis 27: 42-45).

But when He was returning back after twenty one (21) Years; the Bible says he has four (4) wives, Menservants, Maidservants and several Possessions.

Why? Because the Spirit of Greatness was transferred into him.

But when it was time for Jacob to die, Jacob looked at the fact that if we don’t do something, we will only be giving the Blessings to the First Born only – Which by the Law of the Land, they were supposed to get Double Portion of what every other Persons had gotten (DMC NOTES: Deuteronomy 21:17).

And what did he do? Jacob called on Joseph and said, Bring your sons unto me.

And the Bible says that Joseph Positioned the Elder one (Manasseh) by the Right Hand side of the father and the Younger one (Ephraim) he Positioned by the Left Hand side of the father.

But the father Crossed his hands over their heads – Joseph thought that it was because he wasn’t seeing very well.

Not knowing that the One who has lost Physical eyes is not actually the one that is blind but the one who has lost his Spiritual eyes.

But Jacob said to him: “Son, let it be so”

DMC NOTES: You can read this in Genesis 48: 1-22.

Which means that the Blessings which is only an Exclusive Reserve of the First Born, I want to make it something that can be Accessed to all.

But until you approach the Cross, there is no way that you can get the Blessings!

That was why he Crossed his hands.

The Bible says in Galatians 3:13 that Christ has redeemed us from the Curse of the Law, being made a Curse for us: For it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.

In Galatians 3:14, the Bible now says: That the Blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the Promise of the Spirit through Faith.

So now, whether you are the First Born or Last Born or No Born; when you approach the Cross then the kind of Blessings that anyone can begin to laid hold on; you also can laid hold on it.

Greatness has been Placed upon as many that can look upon the Cross of Calvary and they will obtain Mercy there!

PATHWAY TO GREATNESS.

But hear me: What are the things you need to know that are the Pathways to Greatness?

If you are Destined for Greatness, there are some things that you need to know.

1. You need to know that you need to live a Life of Obedience which leads to Holiness,

Genesis 24: 34-35 – Abraham moved from “Half Obedience” to “Full Obedience” and he became the father of Faith.

2. You need to live a Life of Sacrificial Living and Sacrifial Giving.

In Genesis 22: 6-18; Isaac Surrendered himself as a Living Sacrifice.

And Jesus Christ had to come several Years later to Surrender Himself in the order of what Isaac did,

3. You must be able to discover your Purpose through Prayers if you know that you are Destined for Greatness.

Jacob wrestled with the Angel and the Angel turned his situation around for the better.

And the Word of God made me to Understand – He said: Unto him, as a Prince thou has Powered with God and Men and you have Prevailed (DMC NOTES: Genesis 32:28).

Somebody is going to cry unto the Lord Tonight or as you read now on the Label of DMC and you will see yourself Prevailing in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

4. You must be Somebody that is Given to Consistent Development and Diligence in Skills and all Vocations that you lay your hands upon.

If you want to be Great; the Seed of Greatness is in you and you are Destined for Greatness.

But you need to know according to Psalms 78:71; the Bible says that David was able to lead Israel through the Skillfulness of his hands and the Integrity of his Heart.

5. In this kind of Kingdom, Greatness that we are talking about and that you are Destined for; Humility ranks very, very High in it.

Psalms 66:3 says that through the Greatness of Your Power, it says your Enemies Submitting unto You.

When you see Psalms 18:35; it says that thy Gentleness has made me Great.

Because God will never share His Glory with any Man – He knows that you are Destined for Greatness and He is the only One who can raise you up.

The Bible says: Humble yourself under the Mighty Hands of the Lord and He will exalt you in Due Time.

For you to know that Greatness is a Spirit, let me cast your Mind back to the Story our father-in-the-Lord told us:

How by the Grace of God, he had an Encounter with that Great Man of God – Papa Kenneth Hagin.

And he asked him that whatsoever made you who you are, let it be deposited inside of me.

This Year, is the Year of Landmark Requests.

Without any doubt, the Prophetic Cloud is very loaded Tonight.

I want to make a Passionate Appeal Tonight by the Grace of God to our father-in-the-Lord that Tonight, whatever made him Great as God has made him Great; he will be able to release it by a Prophetic Dimension even upon our lives!

But without approaching the Cross, the Greatness is going to be a Mirage because it has been Placed and hinged upon the Cross.

Daddy GO mentioned this at The RCCG May 2025 Holy Communion Service of Thursday 1st May 2025 that the Revival is here.

And that everyone under the Sound of my voice; in your respective Locations or Online or as you read now on the Label of DMC; God wants to Ignite you Tonight.

As Samson tied three hundred (300) Foxes tail to tail and every directions they go; they set it on fire (DMC NOTES: Judges 15:4).

What is coming upon this House Tonight, every direction that you take, the Fire of Revival will break out there – Amen.

As I Close:

The Seed of Greatness might be in a Man but except that a Man by himself is ready to commit to it; the Greatness might not manifest.

Do you know that Jacob was so smart in his own eyes because he heard that he was Destined for Greatness.

He started Playing a Sharp Game – He Played it against his father and brother.

Oh, Somebody will say that but at the end of the Day, he was able to become Great

The answer is: No – Read the Bible.

The Bible made me to understand that:

☆ When he had an Encounter with the Angel in Genesis Chapter 32; what he Prayed for was: “Bless me before you go”.

☆ He lied to his father and his own children also lied to him (DMC NOTES: Genesis Chapter 27 and Genesis 37: 29-33).

☆ He cheated his brother and his father-in-law cheated him ten times (DMC NOTES: Genesis 27:36 and Genesis 31:7).

But when he encountered God like Somebody is going to encounter God Tonight; the Angel Changed his name (DMC NOTES: Genesis 32: 22-32)

And He told him that you will not be called Jacob again but Israel.

His brother was coming to meet him the following Day – Coming with Guns and a lot of Ammunitions to attack him.

But when his brother saw him the following Day, he threw away the Gun and he embraced Jacob (DMC NOTES: Genesis 33:4)

Do you know why?

☆ It was Jacob that offended and now it is Israel that Esau saw on the Second Day.

The Bible says that: Who has heard such a thing before. Can a Nation been given birth to in one day? (DMC NOTES: Isaiah 66:8).

Because of that Encounter, a whole Nation was born in a Day.

And the Nation of Israel came to meet with Esau and as a result of that; no one Man can fight a Nation.

I like you to Stand on your feet and come into this Place of Encounter.

Lift up your hands to the Lord Almighty and say:

Father, I know that I am Destined for Greatness. By the Power of the Encounter Tonight, let my Greatness begin to manifest.

Lift up your voice and cry to the Lord Almighty!

Thank You Heavenly Father.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

When our father-in-the-Lord steps here Tonight and he makes a Call for you to come and embrace the Cross; do not be held back behind.

Stretch your two (2) hands to the Altar as I Pray:

CLOSING PRAYER

Lord, we connect to that Oil of Greatness that is upon The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

We connect to that Oil of Greatness that is upon our father and mother In-The-Lord.

It doesn’t matter what our Background is Oh Lord; because we have come to seek You Tonigh, let the Greatness come forth in our lives in Jesus Name.

And where we find a “Loud Anen”; let it begin now.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen

Let Somebody shout a *Great Hallelujah” – HALLELUJAH!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
