Our Father and our God, the Ever Faithful, Ever Sure Daddy. The Most High is Your Name. You have no Comparison.
From Everlasting to Everlasting You are God, You Changeth not.
We are Grateful to You Lord, for Your Counsel of Old that’s is still Standing – You are the Ancient of Days.
Father, we Celebrate Your Faithfulness, most especially in Your Word, which is Spirit and Life – We are so grateful.
We Thank You because in times like this, all of us here Present, and those Watching Online, including those reading now on the Label of DMC, are still Standing in You.
You are the One who upholds us all, You are the Keeper of Israel, You do not slumber nor sleep.
Today, we are saying Thank You for what You have started doing in the lives of Men in RCCG all over the world – Most especially in this Year’s Men’s Convention 2025 – We are Grateful.
And so Father Lord, this Morning again we want You to visit us with Your Counsel.
You can never be wrong – You are the Greatest Counselor, and Your Word is Yea and Amen.
This Morning again, open our ears and hearts to receive Your Word. And let everything we are going to hear today add Values to our lives.
Please don’t let us miss our Fulfilments; for You did not create us without a Purpose – Let Your Purpose be revealed to us more and more everyday.
By the end of this Men’s Convention Jehovah; all of us here Present, and those reading now on the Label of DMC, none of us shall have any regrets.
We all will have something that would keep us going till we get to Eternity.
We are Grateful!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Let Somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
I want to salute the National Overseer and all the Elders in the House – Those keeping the Firing Line for Men in RCCG.
The Lord will keep you going, and you will all finish well – Amen.
During your time, there will be no extinction to having our Men in Kingdom Matters, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
If you know you are a Real Kingdom Man, shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Kindly be seated!
I believe this is a Family Meeting.
Thank you for giving me the honour to be in your midst today.
What is the Purpose of this Meeting?
- To learn more about the Kingdom;
- And to ensure our People all make it to the Kingdom at last.
Brethren, everything about us has to do with the Kingdom – Once you say ‘Yes’ to Jesus Christ by Salvation, you are already on your way to the Kingdom.
That is the Foundation.
We are talking about “Upholding the Ancient Landmark.”
If there is no Land there’ll be no Mark.
And the Land has been given to us by God.
John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world, that He gave his Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not Perish, but have Everlasting Life.
Either you are Young or Old, this is the most essential thing about the Ancient Landmark – The Kingdom of God and Everlasting Life.
What God laid in my Heart to talk to you about is: “Men of the Kingdom.”
The Bible tells us in Isaiah 9:6-7:
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the Government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his Government and Peace there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon his Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with Judgment and with Justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will Perform this.
“… Of the Increase of his Government and Peace there shall be no end.”
Brethren, this is Part of the Increase: Till Jesus Christ returns, no matter your age; the ultimate goal of the Men of the Kingdom is Eternal Life (The Kingdom).
THINGS TO DO TO GET TO THE KINGDOM.
We just want to remind ourselves about them as we Journey to the Kingdom.
- Check your Salvation:
Take heed to yourself, because as individuals, you matter a lot to God.
On the Journey to this Kingdom, you have to examine yourself.
2 Corinthians 13:5 says, Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the Faith; Prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
That means, to know if your Salvation is still sure. Because many of you are just counting the number of years you gave your Life to Jesus Christ, saying, “I’ve been Born Again since forty (40) years ago. And RCCG started in my house.”
Glory be to God, but are you still in Faith?
It is very important to examine yourself and see whether you are still in Faith.
Many of us are already relaxing; believing we have made it, whereas we still have a long way to go.
If you feel you have done enough, and God says you have not even started, what are you going to do?
- Are we still in Faith?
- Are we living according to His Will?
- Are we still following Jesus?
- Are we still focusing on the Lord Jesus Christ?
This is the best time to come back Home, as God is still waiting for us.
He is ready to take us back because we are talking about Ancient Landmark.
- Old things must Pass away:
To assure you, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become New.
Old things must pass away if you want to reach the Kingdom at last.
Which means, the Life we were living before we said ‘Yes’ to Jesus must pass away.
This is a Journey to the Kingdom where we belong.
In order to go through it, Old things must pass away; and all things must become New because two Masters cannot be in the same boat.
If one says, turn right and the other one says, we are turning left; the boat will capsizes.
We have to give God His Place in our lives.
Isaiah 25:1 is the Song we used to sing in those days: O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will Praise thy Name; for thou hast done Wonderful things; thy Counsels of Old are Faithfulness and Truth.
Which means, God cannot Change.
So, Old things must pass away – The Glittering things of the world must also pass away.
Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your Faith (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 12:2).
It is Possible to live for the Lord; because the Bible says: All things are Possible to them that believe (DMC NOTES: Mark 9:43).
And all things concerning the Kingdom shall be Possible to you – Amen.
- You need to be Baptized in the Holy Ghost:
You cannot do the work of the Kingdom without the Holy Ghost Baptism.
Thank God for the Teachings we had when we became Born Again in those days, which were so Powerful in our Hearts.
After the Workers in Training Classes, we were asked what we wanted to do.
Thank God for the lives of the People like Baba Oluwalogbon – We met them as Workers in RCCG.
Two (2) hours, you will still be Praying, before Baba Akindayomi will come over.
Those of us who were yet to join the Workforce were asked to sit behind during the Worker’s Meeting.
Those of us who Volunteered to serve in the Choir (unlike today); we went through the Rudiment of Music and Voice Training.
After you have done everything, it may take you another two (2) years to fully join the Choir.
Talking of Playing Instruments, by the Grace of God, the first two (2) Violins we used, I bought them when we started. I gave one to my Sister, Titi Akindayomi.
We were the first set of People to Play Violin in RCCG.
What am I trying to say? To join the Choir, after your Salvation, took a long time back then.
When we finally joined the Choir and started Singing with them; one day Baba Akindayomi announced that all Choir Members should wait after Service.
He asked, “How many of you have been Baptized in the Holy Ghost?” Only about six (6) People out of thirty (30) of us raised their hands.
There were no Teachings like this back then – Nobody took us through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Thank God I laid my hand on one of John Austin Books, “Receive the Holy Ghost” – That’s what I was reading.
On the third (3rd) day, God Baptized me in the Night. I went on Personal Dry Fasting and Prayers.
I was thinking, “How will you be doing something in the Church and they’ll say you are no longer going to be a part of them because you are not Baptized in the Holy Ghost.!”
It was shameful in those days – If you were stepped down from any Department back then, it was as if your Life has ended.
Unlike what we have today.
Thank God, since then, the Power of the Holy Ghost has not left me.
You need the Power of the Holy Ghost to do the work of the Kingdom.
Without the Holy Ghost Power, you will soon be tired.
There were so many things that could have caused discouragement back then:
- If you Speak in Tongues too much, the Elders would say, “they have come ooo!”
Especially when the General Overseer started leading Bible Study Classes; he often took us to Secluded Places for Retreats.
During Public Holidays, he would take us either to the Beach or Resorts.
By the time we come back, we were Empowered.
We didn’t greet by mere words – When we meet in Church we greet speaking in Tongues. And the Elders would say, they have come!
Thank God for Baba Oluwalogbon who was one of us.
And God will continue to Uphold you, Sir – Amen.
We need the Power of the Holy Spirit, because there are lots of discouragements on the way.
So many Personal things troubling you in your Body, Spirit and Soul. In the home, in your Place of work, etc.
Yet you are still saying, “I will follow Him.”
You are not the one saying so; it is the Power of God that is working in you.
Brethren, if you have not been Baptized in the Holy Spirit, or you are carrying fake Baptism – Speaking Fake Tongues; I am telling you that you need to come back to yourself.
Take heed to yourself and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost before you go today.
Acts 1:8 says: But ye shall receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the Uttermost Part of the Earth.
We must Witness the One who brought us out of Darkness into His Marvellous Light. And the Bible says, we must sing His Praises (DMC NOTES: 1 Peter 2:9).
It is only His Power that can help you.
Some of us want to really Witness, but we cannot because the Power is not Steering up the Spirit to do so.
Whereas we are to Witness from Jerusalem to Judaea, to Samaria, and unto the Uttermost Part of the Earth.
I Pray his Morning: Whoever is not yet Baptized in the Power of the Holy Ghost in our midst, including those reading now on the Label of DMC, today is your Day – Amen.
And I say, receive the Power now, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
The flesh Profited nothing; and there are many things the Spirit of God wants to you in you. But the flesh will be saying, “you can’t do it, it is not yet time.”
We all must depend on the Holy Spirit to do the work of the Kingdom – “Not by Might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts” (DMC NOTES: Zechariah 4:6).
The Disciples were Cowards, Powerless, without Unity amongst them until the day when they were in one accord.
Look at the Church of God, we are fragmented – “I am of Pastor so and so; I am not of that Regional Pastor, let him hold his side.”
When we are not together, how are we going to conquer the devil?
That’s why when there are Problems in the Church, we Pray, but the Prayers are not being answered.
It will only take the Power of the Holy Ghost to kick out the demon in our midst.
Yet Many of us are still Suffering.
Today, God will give us the Mantle of Victory – Which is the Power of the Holy Ghost, in the Name of Jesus (Amen).
We need the Holy Spirit to suppress the flesh; and make decision.
Because there are some decisions the flesh will not allow you make. You are the one who would say, “I will go with Jesus Christ, whatever happens.”
- You have to Move on:
When the Disciples received the Holy Ghost they moved on.
The first place to begin is from your Home – The Home is essential, unless God says you won’t marry.
… If that is it, Glory be to God in your Life!
But if you have decided to get married; 1 Timothy 3:2, 12 tells you who you should be as a Man:
A Bishop then must be Blameless, the husband of one wife, Vigilant, Sober, of Good Behaviour, given to Hospitality, apt to teach; Let the Deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
I. One Wife, not many wives:
Whatever you cover, on the Day of Judgement, it will be exposed.
Some of you have your “Legal Wife” with you; you still have other ‘wives’ all over the Place.
Whoever is indulging in this Lifestyle, God will help you to put an end to the work of the devil in your Life, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
II. Be Vigilant:
Why should you be Vigilant?
The Bible says we should be Sober and we should abstain from all appearances of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22).
III. Be of Good Behaviour:
Some of us, our eyes do not welcome People.
We think we are the only good ones around – You don’t smile, and you don’t respect others.
If you don’t respect others, you won’t obtain favour.
IV. Be given to Hospitality:
Don’t discouraged your wife from helping People.
Learn to give a cup of water to Visitors.
Abraham entertained Strangers and the Prophecy of twenty five (25) years came to pass (Genesis 18: 1-15 and Genesis 21: 1-7).
If Papa Abraham had asked Sarah to cook and she refused, today God’s Promises would have not come to pass in their lives.
From today, every Promise of God for your Life will be activated; and they shall be fulfilled in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
V. Apt to Teach:
You must be able to Teach your children.
Those who say, “I am not the Parish Pastor, so I don’t need to be carrying Bible.” Ha! A Kingdom Man, and you can’t teach?
Every one of us is a Teacher in the Kingdom – If you are not a Sunday School Teacher, you are a House Fellowship Leader, or a Children’s/Teen’s Teacher.
So, Teach your children: in words, in action, in dressing, showing good example to them in the way of the Lord because the children are watching us seriously.
When we started the Nursery and Primary School at Ebute-Metta, we were using the Church Corridor. We used to demarcate the Place for the Classes, Reception and I had a table on one corner.
The first Period used to be News – Just to encourage the children to speak out.
One or two children would come out and speak. A child once said he wanted to tell the class what happened in their home.
Whatever you do at home, your children are taking note – So you must be able to teach your children correctly.
You are not an Ordinary Man, you are a Kingdom Man, you are a Teacher. You must do what Papa Abraham did.
Genesis 18:19 contains God’s Testimony of Papa Abraham:
For I know him, that he will command his children and his Household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do Justice and Judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath Spoken of him.
God is speaking concerning you – Will you command your children at home?
Command your children in the way of the Lord, and stop giving excuses.
God said He knows Papa Abraham, that he will teach his children.
Can He say such about you?
To walk on the Ancient Landmark, you must bring your children up in the way of the Lord – No matter their Age, Qualifications and Positions in Society.
Brethren, you have to be apt to teach.
When Papa Eli refused to teach his children, he paid a very Great Price for it (DMC NOTES: 1 Samuel 2: 12-17; 27-36 and 1 Samuel 4: 12-18)
That will not be our Portion, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
The Lord who has saved our Souls will hold our hands till the end of the Race; and we shall make it, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Please we are appealing to you – Teach your children, command them, put your leg down and let them know you are serious about the things of the Kingdom.
Whatever they see you do is what they will follow.
I Pray God will write Good Testimonies about us at the end, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
God has been Faithful, and if you are given to Hospitality you can never Lack.
We shall not Lack, because the Lord is our Shepherd.
Don’t discourage your wives in any way – Help them to use their Gifts and Calling to serve the Lord.
Because many of us whose wives have Wonderful Gifts, we tend to discourage them.
Please give them opportunities to use their Gifts and Calling to the Glory of God, for we are individuals before God.
When the General Overseer was Inaugurated he said, “We will give Education to Nursery children.”
I knew that Vision was for me because he had never taught Primary Pupils before, not to talk of Nursery children – I have been a Children Teacher all my Life.
Most of the Visions I am carrying out today were taken from what the General Overseer said on the Pulpit.
And he has Graciously Supported me to execute them.
If he hasn’t been supportive, I don’t think I will ever be here with you today. And I will not matter at all to you.
Nobody would have heard of Mummy G.O.
African Missions is not Folu Adeyokunun’s Vision – Everything is for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
All that God is doing through me today is by the Support of my husband and the help of God.
I did not allow the devil to use me.
Folu Adeboye is doing things to the Glory of God today, because the General Overseer gave me the Platform.
So, our fathers and our husbands; give room to your wives to exhibit their Gifts and Calling to serve God.
Encourage and Support them on even the ones they cannot do – Tell them, “I will support you in Prayer, you can do it.”
Still talking about family and home:
- Command your children in the way of the Lord.
- Encourage your wives to be useful to the Lord.
- You have a Place in the Kingdom:
You are not a Bench Warmer.
The Bible says, you should serve the Lord with all your Might.
We have a Problem in RCCG now, because the level of Commitment is Probably twenty Percent (20%).
In those days, from the Worker’s Meeting; you may be assigned to go to even Okitipupa (DMC NOTES: In the Southern Part of Ondo State Nigeria) from Lagos – And you would say, Yes Sir!
There is one Gentleman, the Lord would bless him forever.
I always write Letters on Marriage, while he helps to dispatch them – Sometimes from Lagos to Port Harcourt. In two (2) days, he would have located the couples and deliver the Letters. Obadiah Mulero, my Beloved Gentleman.
You are all Landmark Men of the Kingdom – So you cannot afford to join “Egbe ko ki nkan se” – Meaning the Company of those who have nothing doing.
You must be Diligent.
Our level of Commitment is so Low now.
If you had continued on the Pace with which we started, by now the world would have been on Fire of the Holy Spirit.
Now, People look at others before showing Commitment.
We need to rekindle our Fire of Commitment and Diligence, because God is relying on us.
Shall we continue in such Deceitful Spirit to the God of the Kingdom? No way!
We must go back to the Ancient Path, where we looked only to Jesus as the Author and Finisher of our Faith (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 12:2).
Wherever He leads, we go.
We left our Career and Circular jobs to live in a Jungle (now known as the Redemption City of God).
For three (3) years, there was no Electricity here – We went back to the days of Lantern and we were grinding with Stones, whereas we had grinding Machine, Washing Machine, etc before we came here.
Do not look at the Present, look at the Future.
Tell yourself, “My Future is Glorious, I am going to be a Man of the Kingdom.”
Even in your Place of work, let your Colleagues know that you have the Lord – Do not join them to commit fraud. Let them know you as a Child of God.
I taught at Ansar-ud-deen (Muslim) School for six (6) years – 1973-1979 when I came to Lagos.
From there, I want to do a Program at the University of Lagos.
Then I joined my husband in Ilorin (DMC NOTES: Capital City of Kwara Efore Nigeria) before we came back to Lagos in 1982.
I was already a Christian before I joined Ansar-ud-deen.
The other Teachers were Muslims – Only recently, one of the Teachers back then saw a Redeemed Member and said she wanted to meet with Mrs. Adeboye, that we worked together almost fifty (50) years ago at Ansar-ud-deen.
Even though it was a Muslim School, everytime they needed People to represent the School, “Mrs. Adeboye” will be No. 1 on the list.
You have to be Diligent.
Jesus said, my Father works, hitherto I work (DMC NOTES: John 5:17).
We were created for His Pleasure, so we must work (DMC NOTES: Revelation 4:11).
In your Career, be Diligent.
Serve the Lord with everything He has given to you – With your Heart, and with everything you have.
You have no excuse having heard this Message today or read now on the Label of DMC because God will ask you, “Were you at that Meeting?”.
As from today you will be Committed to God – Amen.
Matthew 25:35-40 is an Anchor Passage for all Kingdom Men (and Women). It says:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a Stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
… These are the reasons why you are in Church.
So, if you don’t have anything doing in the Vineyard of God, be Committed to one of the Group of People Jesus mentioned above, by fixing yourself to any of the Group:
- The Hungry
- The Strangers
- The Naked
- The Sick
- Those in Prison
And let me tell you, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:58, Therefore, my Beloved Brethren, be ye Steadfast, Unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your Labour is not in vain in the Lord.
When we lived in this Camp for three (3) years without Electricity, our Relatives did not come to look for us.
Even one of my own Blood Relatives said: You trained us in the University, you are living in Darkness. You can’t even afford to buy a Generator.
He did not know we were back to Zero Level.
If we want to go to Lagos there was no money to pay two Naira (#2) Toll Gate.
Yet People were bringing money for the work of God in the Camp but we can’t take out of God’s money.
Those of you who are Pastors, Please be careful – Do not joke with Kingdom Things.
Peter told the Apostles, “God is no respecter of Persons” (DMC NOTES: Acts 10:34).
Also, Judgement will start from the House of God (DMC NOTES: 1 Peter 4:17).
Please let us be warned.
We also need to be Steadfast.
Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:35 – Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ?
We are not saying the road is easy – There may be Lack, Sickness, Death of Partners and even children.
I have lost two (2) children on this Journey.
There may be Lost of Properties.
If you refuse to spend for the Kingdom, others will do it.
But when you go, there will be nothing to report on the Last Day.
Please shall we Stand!
Do you want to remain in the Kingdom, or you want to be Outside the Kingdom?
The Bible says, Outside are dogs (DMC NOTES: Revelation 22:15).
PRAYER POINTS

When Thou art nigh.

Ev’ry hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Saviour
I come to Thee!
Brethren, tell Him: I need You Lord. Come into my Life and transform me.
