LIGHT UP ILORIN CRUSADE 2025 @ KWARA STATE STADIUM, IBRAHIM TAIWO, ILORIN KWARA STATE NIGERIA
THEME: LET THERE BE LIGHT
MINISTERING (DAY 1 EVENING): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
DATE: 22ND DECEMBER, 2025
BIBLE TEXT: MARK 10: 46-52
Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
God Bless You – Please be seated.
After the Baba who just spoke, what is left for anyone to say? (DMC NOTES: The Baba under reference is “Baba Adio” – Prophet Michael Olaosebikan Adio; a Spiritual Leader and Prophet of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Alabukun Parish, Ilorin Kwara State Nigeria).
He has told you in details the main reason we are being called a Christian at all.
It is because we are thinking of our Tomorrow – Where are we going to spend Eternity?
Whatever anybody may give you, it is just for a Temporary moment.
☆ If they give you money, the money will be spent.
☆ If they give you Clothes, the Clothes will wear.
☆ If they give you house, that house can be burnt.
The Greatest Gift anybody can give you is Jesus Christ!
And as soon as you have Jesus Christ – Not only do you have everything that you can ever need in this world; as Baba told you, you even have everything in the Future.
Everything in this Earth will Pass away but there is Someone who says that: “I am the same Yesterday, Today and Forever”. And He is comimg again.
And you know what?
When He comes, I am going to reign with Him.
What about you?
If you know that you are going to reign with Him, let me hear that Hallelujah one more time – Hallelujah!
But Tonight, my children says that we didn’t ask you to come and Preach – Just come and say God bless you.
But then, as you are told: Jesus Christ said that I am the Light of the world (DMC NOTES: John 8:12; John 9:5).
There are only two (2) Forces controlling the world – One is Darkness and the other is Light.
… Only two (2) Forces and there is no third one.
It is these two (2) Forces that Control what we call Day or Night.
It is between these two (2) Forces that we count Days, Months, Years, Night and Day.
Now where there is Darkness, everything Evil can be found there.
And where there is Light, everything Good cab be found there.
For Example, consider the Story of a Man called Bartimeaus – You can read the Story in Mark 10: 46-52.
Mark 10:46-52:
- And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his Disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
- And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
- And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
- And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
- And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
- And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
- And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy Faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
- If you are in Darkness, you and Poverty will go hand in hand.
Because Bartimeaus was Blind and because he was in Darkness; he was a Beggar.
But one day, Light Passed by his side and from that day onwards, he cease to beg.
You give your Life to Jesus Christ and allow the Light of God to come into your Life; according to the Word of God in Philippians 4:19; one way or the other, God will meet all of your Needs!
I am not talking of when you give your Life to Jesus Christ, you will become a Millionaire.
Oh, God can do much more than that because He owns the Heavens and the Earth.
All that I am saying is this: If you allow the Light of Jesus Christ into your Life; one way or the other, all your Needs will be met.
So I can with all confidence say that if you allow the Light of Jesus Christ to come into your Life; in the Name that is above every other name, you will not die in Poverty – Amen.
I decree in the Name that is above every other name: Those of you who will allow the Light of God to come into your Life Today, very soon Poverty will become a Stranger to you – Amen.
- When Bartimeaus began to cry to the Light of the world, there were several People who told him to shut up.
When you are in Darkness, you must know that hatred will become very close to you – People will just hate you because you are in the dark.
Because if you are in the dark, you will be a burden to others.
If you see Someone living in Darkness, he is constantly requiring Somebody to help.
But when Light comes, the Bible made it clear that you will begin to Succeed.
In Philippians 4:13; the Bible says that: “I can do all things through Christ which Strengthens me”.
When you are in the Light, you will cease to fail.
And I can decree to Somebody here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC: As you allow the Light of Jesus Christ to take over your Life, you will never know Failure again – Amen.
- When you are in Darkness, you are bound to have Enemies that you don’t even know that you have.
When the People around began to tell Bartimeaus to shut up; Bartimeaus did not know until that moment how many People hated him.
He wasn’t asking them for Help – He was asking the One who can give Him “Absolute Help” to help.
Let me assure you – Whether you know it or not; you have Enemies.
There are those who hate you just for hating you:
☆ If you are making Progress, they hate you.
☆ If you are not making Progress, they hate you.
You can never find a family where Nobody hates Someone.
There are some People that you think are your friends.
The Elders in Yoruba has a Proverb – They say: “It is only in the time of Trouble that you will know who are your friends”.
DMC NOTES: “Igba iponju ni a mo ore”.
When all is going on well, you don’t know who is your friend.
But Jesus Christ said in Hebrews 13:5 – He said: “I will never leave you, I will never forsake you”.
Whatever may be happening; if you have Jesus Christ, you have a friend you can trust for Life and you have a friend who will be like a Shadow beside you.
Wherever you go, He can go with you!
And I am Praying for Someone here Today or reading now on the Label of DMC: As you allow the Light of Jesus Christ into your Life, God will take care of all your Enemies – Amen!
Because Jesus Christ loves you so much, He lays down His Life for you.
I was telling some People before I came to Ilorin Today – I said that when the day of Death comes, you will be the one who will go through that Process alone.
No matter how your wife may say she loves you; when you get to the Graveside and she has to wave you bye bye.
As they lower you into the Grave; if she Pretends that she wants to jump into the Grave, before she left home she would have arranged with her friends that if I want to jump into the Grave, catch me o.
There is no matter how your husband will say that I love you, the moment you dies; your husband will not Sleep on the same bed with you.
When it comes to Crossing over to the other side, you will have to go alone unless you have Jesus Christ!
David said: When I am Passing through the Vallley of the Shadow of Death, I will have no fear because I know that there is Somebody who will Pass through with me (DMC NOTES: Psalm 23:4)
Jesus Christ is the Only friend that you can trust all the time.
And I am Praying for everyone in need of a friend that you can trust; may you allow Jesus Christ to come into your Life – Anen.
- Then Bartimeaus was crying, Light was Passing by and he was about to miss the only opportunity of a Lifetime.
But whenever Light comes, Breakthroughs always come!
There are many of us – We have been Struggling and looking for a day when all will go well.
The day Light Passes by, God has enough Power to even use your Enemies to bring you to your Breakthrough.
Because Jesus Christ told the very People who are telling Bartimeaus to shut up that they should go and bring him.
The Light of God is Passing through this Place Today and I know that there is at least one Fellow here or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC: “God is going to send for you” – Amen!
- And when the Enemies got to him, they began to Prophesy to him.
Do you know that God can use your enemy to even bring you to your Victory?
They told him: “Be of Good Cheers, He is calling you”.
They knew – Even your Enemies knows that if God send for you; your Life is set for Good.
I am crying to God on your behalf that this very Night; God will send for Somebody – Amen!
- And when they brought Bartimeaus to Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ said: What do you want?
He said that I want only one thing – Give me Light! Let me be able to see; just open my eyes.
Give me Light because once Light comes in, everything I may need, God will make it available for me.
Tonight, I am going to beg you to ask for Light!
If God gives you Light and suddenly you see the Kingdom that is coming or if you see the Kingdom of God that God is bringing to the Earth like Baba Adio who spoke to you before me has told you; you won’t struggle for anything anymore.
☆ Any Position that you occupy in this world is for a moment.
☆ Any Wealth that you may have is for a moment.
☆ No matter how rich you are; when you die, you can’t take anything with you.
If they bury you with Silver and Gold, by tomorrow Morning thieves would have opened the Grave.
You need Light – If the Light comes into your Life, your Life is Settled.
☆ If the Light comes into your family, your family is Settled.
☆ If the Light comes to your Village, your Village is Settled.
☆ If the Light comes into your State, your State is Settled.
All you need to ask God for Tonight is: “God, give me Light”.
ALTAR CALL
Baba Adio has given the Altar Call – He has asked those of you who will want the Kingdom of God to come forward. And I see so many of you coming forward and I am very, very happy.
But just in case there is anybody left that up till now you have not Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ; you can still do so.
Let me warn you though – If Jesus Christ comes into your Life, He will take over and He will become the Controller.
Once Light comes in, Darkness has to go out.
You cannot have Jesus Christ and then continue to live in sin – Light and Darkness cannot co-habit.
So, if you want to really, really want to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ – You want to ask Jesus Christ to come and take over completely and you haven’t done so before.
Before I Pronounced the Father’s Blessings, I will give you 2 Minutes to do so
You might be the only one or you might be thinking should I or should I not; but now you are ready to do it. Please come now!
I will count from one (1) to five (5) – If by the time I say five (5), you haven’t come, then I will know that you haven’t decided.
So, if you really mean Business and you want the Light of the world to take Control of your Life; come quickly as I am counting.
Those of us on the way, don’t stop. But those of you already infront; cry to Jesus Christ and say:
Lord Jesus, have Mercy on me, save my Soul, come and dwell in my Life, dwell in my Heart, be my Lord, be my Saviour as I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
Go ahead and talk to the Lord.
And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands towards these our Brothers and Sisters and Pray for them.
Pray that the One who saved your Soul will save their own Souls also.
Go ahead and call on the Almighty God.
Thank You Father!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
My Father and my God, I want to bless Your Holy Name.
I want to Thank You for these People who has come forward.
Please receive them, save their Souls, forgive their sins, let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the Book of Life and let them become Members of the Family of God.
Let them serve You till the End.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Now the rest of us; in every Man’s Life, there is always a day never to be forgotten.
And that day has come for Somebody in Ilorin today.
SPECIAL LIGHT UP PRAYERS
If you believe that Today is your day; we are going to do something Symbolic.

In Jesus Mighty Name – Amen.
I’m going to Pray for you in a moment but then you will Pray one more Prayer before you go.
FINAL FATHER’S BLESSING
In the Mighty Name of Jesus.
My Father and my God; in Your Name I decree that:
In the lives of all these Your Children, let there be Light.
In their homes, let there be Light.
In their Villages/Towns, let there be Light.
In Kwara State, let there be Light.

Throughout the rest of their lives, let them keep Shinning.
As they win Souls for You, let them keep on Shinning.
As they Pray, let them keep Shinning.
In every areas of their lives, let them keep on Shinning.
Father, for all these Your Children, any evil left in this Old Year, keep it far away from them.
Every Joy left in this Year and the Joy in the Year to come; send to their homes.
Answer all their Prayers.
And let them serve You till the End.
When Your Kingdom shall finally come, let them go on Shinning.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Wave the Light and let us show the devil that he has lost the battle.
Now, you are going to Pray one more Prayer and you will Pray it with every anger that you can muster because you are going to speak against the devil.
You are going to say: In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Satan I have the Light of God; I Command you to take your dirty hands off me, off my family, off my City/Town, off Kwara State.
Go ahead and Pray that Prayer!!!
