OPENING PRAYER
Father, we salute Your Excellency! We Proclaim Your Loving Kindness and tender Mercies. We honour You for who You are.
For forty (40) years You have kept the Fire of the School of Disciples burning – You did not allow the enemy to quench it. The Fire is growing wider and wider; more Powerful than ever before.
We Thank You for all the Torch Bearers, who are putting their lives to Light Up others who are still in Darkness.
We are so Grateful.
Thank You for this Convention; starting from the Coordinators’ Meeting, since Monday (30th June 2025). And we Thank You for where You have taken us in this Convention.
You have Sharpened us again; You have recharged us again – We are so Grateful.
And we know by Your Special Love and Grace, we will not look back – We will continue to march forward.
Your Strength will continue to be our Strength, your focus will be our focus and at the end of the day, we shall reign with You.
Thank You for all the Preachers: starting from our father-in-the-Lord, to all those who have Ministered to us – We are Grateful for all the Words You have sent to us already.
Your Word is Life and it is Spirit, we have received it.
And we Pray that we shall be Doers of the Word, in the Name of Jesus!
In this Last Session, we ask Lord; that You will Minister to all of us again.
We are looking forward to Your Second Coming, and You are the Only One who can keep us till that very day – So we rely on You, even as we are going to have a reminder Message today.
Because Your Second Coming is not New – It has been there for Ages.
As we are going to be be reminded today, Father we Pray: we shall not sit on the fence, and we shall keep moving till we end in Glory.
Blessed be Your Name for ever!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Please, those who know they will reign with Christ when He comes back again, shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
I want to Thank the Almighty God for His Mercies, for His Love, for His Grace and Compassion that has kept the School of Disciples going these forty (40) years.
It can only be Him – So let’s give Him a clap Offering.
Except the LORD build the House, they Labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the City, the Watchman waketh but in vain (DMC NOTES: Psalm 127:1).
Let’s rise up and give Him another shout of allelujah – Hallelujah.
Thank You Jesus!
Kindly be seated.
God has been so Faithful; and I think we should all be happy to Witness the Fortieth (40th) Anniversary of the School of Disciples.
To be a Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ is not something that is General – “Many are called, but few are Chosen” (DMC NOTES: Matthew 22:14).
I want you to help me Congratulate your Neighbour and say to him or her: “I Congratulate you that you are Part of the Chosen ones to be a Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
I want to Congratulate the International Coordinator of the School of Disciples – Pastor Debola Adeleye.
He is our Indefatigable Person; Strong by the Will of God, focus by the Mercy of God, very, very, very hardworking and diligent.
Let’s give God a clap offering!
Somebody has to lead; and to lead is to Serve.
Let’s say Father; we Thank You for Pastor Debola Adeleye and his wife. Keep them going, and let them finish well, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
I want to sincerely Congratulate all our Coordinators in all the States – Most especially those who are working on the Online School of Disciples. It is a New Vision, and God has kept them going. And they have been very, very effective.
The Lord will continue to keep you going; and grant you fresh ideas to win more Souls, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Greater Works: Greater Works than these!
Greater Works: Greater Works than these!!
Greater Works: Greater Works than these!!!
The Topic they gave me to talk on is: “The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ”.
“Second Coming” is not a New Statement to us – It has been repeated over the years, that Jesus is coming back again. Even in the last fifty (50) years since we became Born Again.
The good thing about repetition is so that the Statement can be effective.
As you keep hearing it, you will be reminded.
The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ has been repeated by Pastors, Evangelists, Missionaries etc, all over the world.
Even Jesus Christ Himself said that He will come back again to receive us to Himself.
In Matthew 25:1-10, the Bible says:
1 Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten Virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the Bridegroom.
2 And five of them were Wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their Lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the Wise took oil in their Vessels with their Lamps.
5 While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at Midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those Virgins arose, and trimmed their Lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the Wise, Give us of your oil; for our Lamps are gone out.
9 But the Wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the Bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the Marriage: and the door was shut.
May the door never be shut against us on the Last Day – Amen.
The Passage tells us something – The ten (10) Virgins were all waiting for the arrival of the Bridegroom as we have all come for this Disciples’ Conference – The difference is that there will be no foolish and Wise People among us.
Tell your Neighbour: I am one of the Wise ones.
The Bible tells us that the Wise took extra oil in their Vessels.
We are talking about the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ today – We need to put more oil in our Lamps because it would not be good that when He returns, our Lamps are already dry.
By then, it would be off, due to lack of oil on it.
I Pray that none of our Lamps shall dry up, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
The essence of coming for this Conference is to be revived.
Revival will wake us up from any area we have been Sleeping or Slumbering.
The Prime of our Christian Race is in Colossians 1:27 which says, To whom God would make known what is the riches of the Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the Hope of Glory:
If there is any reason Jesus Christ saved our Souls, it is to give us a Lively Hope – The Hope that will be for ever.
Not the one that will end in this world – It is the one that will give us the Assurance of Heaven.
This is the crucial part of our Christian Race.
And I Pray that in all our going up and down; husband and wife in the home, Youth, teenagers and children in the home, Managers at Places of work, CEOs, Staff – As you go about; Pastors and Workers in the Church, Pastors in Charge of Regions, Provinces, Zones, Areas, Parishes and their Assistants, whoever you are in all Arms of the Ministry God has Placed you; I Pray that this Hope will not leave you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
The crucial Point of our Christian Race is the Hope of Glory.
When Christ is in you, everything that is Militating against your Life will end.
That’s why the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature: Old Things are Passed away; behold, all Things are become New.
What is the New Thing? If Christ is now living in us, then our Hope is no longer in whether we build houses, whether we have children, cars or anything of this world – If Christ is in us, we have Greater Hope.
In John 4:4, the Bible says, Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Brethren, if you know this Hope is still alive in your Life, shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Thank You Jesus!
In this Hope, we can arise and do the work of Disciples that God has called us to do.
And according to Him, we will be able to do Greater works than these (DMC NOTES: John 14:12).
Because this Hope will be Strong in us, the Spirit of God will enable us to continue the race, occupy till He comes, do this and do that.
And this Hope is the Hope of Glory.
It is not the Hope of Shame, not the Hope of Suffering again. It is no longer of lack barrenness or sickness. It is the hope of Glory.
So, every Wise Disciple must have this thought in him or her always – “I have a Glorious Hope”.
When we first arrived this Campground, there was no one else here. But this Hope kept me going – “I have a Glorious Hope: Christ in me the Hope of Glory.”
Brethren, when faced with Life’s Challenge, the road is not an easy one – We all know that.
But this Glorious Hope should always put Fire into our bones and hearts – “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD” (DMC NOTES: Psalm 118:17).
The Bible tells us in James 5:8, Be ye also Patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
The Bible also tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:2 that His Coming shall be like a thief in the Night – “For yourselves know Perfectly that the Day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the Night.”
The ten (10) Virgins were all Sleeping and Slumbering – When the Bridegroom arrived, the People with extra oil were ready to go with Him.
By the time those who were not Prepared went to buy oil returned, the Bridegroom had come, the door was locked, and they were shut out.
This will not be our Portion, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR THE SECOND COMING?
- Seek Him Continuously:
Matthew 6:33 says, But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
We often think this Passage is for Unbelievers – It is for all of us.
All the time, keep seeking Him – In your work, in your Speech, thought, and in everything you do.
Before you do anything, ask yourself;
- Will Jesus eat this kind of food?
- Will He do this kind of thing?
- Will He be where I am right now?
- Repack, Reload and Restitute:
Let’s do whatever Restitution we have to.
Remove whatever you have added to your load that will not grant you Passage into the Kingdom or that will not allow you see Jesus when He returns.
Now is the time to Repack, Reload and Restitute.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel.
I told you, Seeking is not for New Believers alone.
In any area we fall short of His Glory, this is the time to repack because you are the one who will stand before God – It is an individual affairs.
Refuel, Reload and Repack!
- Be ye Holy:
We must go before God and be Cleansed, by living a Holy Life.
The Bible says we should examine ourselves.
Psalm 15:1-5 says; Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy Holy Hill? He that walketh Uprightly, and worketh Righteousness, and speaketh the Truth in his Heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his Neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his Neighbour. In whose eyes a vile Person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Hebrews 12:1 says, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so Great a Cloud of Witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with Patience the race that is set before us,
Move away from those things that will not help you make it to Heaven at last.
Disentangle yourself from them.
Nothing in this Life is worth taking His Second Coming away from our lives.
Remember, the mystery of the Kingdom is being revealed to you, as the Disciple of Jesus Christ.
The Bible warned us not to entangle ourselves with the affairs of this world (DMC NOTES: 2 Timothy 2:4).
Many of us, our Monthly income ought to be enough till end of the Month; but we entangle ourselves with the affairs of this world – What is not necessary is what we keep doing.
As a result, the devil already knows our weak Point – Hence, he keeps Supplying us with things that weakens us.
I Pray for all of us this Morning, including those reading now on the Label of DMC: We shall all be Strong; and Nothing shall weaken us, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!
WHAT IS THAT GLORY?
We are saying that Christ in us is the hope of Glory (DMC NOTES: Colossians 1:27).
So, what is this Glory?
- His Promises:
He said in John 14:2-3, In my Father’s House are many Mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to Prepare a Place for you. And if I go and Prepare a Place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
He made a Promise which should make us be at Peace – “In my Father’s House are many Mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to Prepare a Place for you.”
Not only that, He will come again and receive us unto Himself; that where He is, there we may be also.
We shall not all go by Death, but when the Trumpet sound, all the dead in Christ – Wherever they may be: either they are in the Ocean or wherever, they will rise first (DMC NOTES: 1 Thessalonians 4:16).
I Pray for you, on that day, none of us shall be left behind, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
This should be able to Strengthen us, keep this Glorious Hope alive, by refueling our Lamps daily – Because the Promises of God are Yea and Amen. If Jesus says it, He will do it.
He said in John 14:3 And if I go and Prepare a Place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
- The Lamb of God will Feed us:
He will feed us over there in Heaven.
What kind of food do you love to eat, that is not in Heaven?
The Bible tells us that Jesus Himself shall feed us (DMC NOTES: John 6:35).
Anytime I remember that Passage, I rejoice, that one day I am going to be fed by the Almighty Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Which means, there is no amount of Cuisine you may be eyeing in this world; that you don’t even have the money to buy. In Heaven there are better Cuisine
The Book of Revelation 7:17 says: For the Lamb which is in the midst of the Throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto Living Fountains of waters:
- He will Wipe away Tears from our eyes:
All our tears shall be wiped away.
In that same Revelation 7:17, the ending part says “… And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
I don’t know whether you are so Holy that you have never wept before – Nothing has caused you any form of tears before.
But I’m telling you; even when you are happy and Thanking God, tears sometimes will be coming from your eyes – Not because you are sad, but because you are Grateful to God.
And then, you remember this Glorious Home – There are better things in Heaven that will give you Joy more than you are experiencing now in this world.
Brethren, Jesus will wipe away our tears – Amen.
- We will Reign with Him:
Whatever we may be suffering here on Earth, He says we are going to reign with Him.
2 Timothy 2:12 – If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Those of us who have never seen a Crown before, when we get to our Glorious Home, our Crown is waiting for us.
SONG
And when the battle is over
We shall wear a Crown
We shall wear a Crown
Yes, we shall wear a Crown;
And when the battle is over
We shall wear a Crown
We shall wear a Crown
Yes, we shall wear a Crown.
The Crown that He has Prepared for you is waiting for us in Heaven.
- As Warriors, there should be a time to cease from fighting wars.
- Our King is coming back, and all the tears we have by shedding, He will wipe away.
- And He will take us to Reign with Him.
- When we are there, we shall receive a Crown.
Is there anyone here this Morning, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC who is tired of the Suffering of this world?
- Are you tired of Lack?
- Tired of Sickness?
- Are you tired of Disability?
- Or You don’t even know what will happen tomorrow?
I have Good News for you: Christ is your Hope.
The Hope is Glory; it is not Shame – Amen.
And He is coming Back Again!
- The Assurance is that, whatever we are passing through now;
- Whatever Suffering and Mockery we are facing now;
When He comes, all these Mockeries will stop – Amen.
All those Mocking us now will see us in Glory, and they will end up in Shame – Amen.
- There are Rewards:
Revelation 22:12 is the last thing we are expecting.
He said, And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
He is Coming back again; and when He comes, His Reward is with Him.
Don’t think that He is telling you there will be no Reward – God will not owe any man anything. His Reward is with Him.
Even the little things we are doing here on Earth, He is rewarding us. How much more when finally He comes to take us Home?
He says, “I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
That is why we are told about;
- Evangelizing.
- Occupying till He comes.
- Being Righteous.
- Doing worthy things.
Everything we have been told to do, all have Rewards – Do not compare notes;
- Know yourself.
- Seek the Kingdom by yourself.
- Do all you have been asked to do.
- Obey His Commandments.
- Walk in Holiness and Righteousness.
- Be Focused.
- Disentangle yourself from the evil of the world, and from all appearances of evil.
- And wait on Him, for He is Coming back again.
SONG
He’s Coming back again
My Lord is Coming back again
He went away and Promised that –
He’s Coming back again;
He’s Coming back again
My Lord is Coming back again
O Glory, Hallelujah –
He’s Coming back again.
If you are sure He is Coming back again rise on your feet and shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Most especially as Disciples, we have this Glorious Hope. And we believe our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is Coming back again.
PRAYER POINTS
- Say Father, help me to remove every obstacles and roadblocks to Your Coming back again from my Life.
But the God of all Grace, who hath called us unto His Eternal Glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you Perfect, Stablish, Strengthen, settle you (DMC NOTES: 1 Peter 5:10).
You are the one to work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling (DMC NOTES: Philippians 2:12).
Cry unto Him now and ask Him to help you:
What is that Roadblock in your Life, in your Career, Marriage, in the lives of your children?
Is it Challenges, Debt, Barrenness, Sickness?
Apostle Paul said, nothing can separate us from the Love of God (DMC NOTES: Romans 8:35).
Lord, give me Grace. May I not look back like Lot’s wife.
Remove every obstacles from my Life and help me to be Prepared for Your Second Coming.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
