    SONG

    You are the Mighty God
    The Great I Am
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    You are the Mighty God
    The Great I Am
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    OPENING PRAYER

    Father Almighty, we Worship You – You are the Mighty God, You are the Great I Am, You are the Everlasting Father. Glory be to Your Holy Name.

    Thank You for what You have done for us in the Past, Thank You for what You did Last Year (2023) and Thank You for what You are about to do this Year – Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

    Father, I’m Praying that before this Gathering is over, Your Children will be Soakingly wet in Your Anointing.

    I’m Praying that by the time Your Children will leave here; anybody that touches them by Accident will receive a Miracle.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Glory be to God!

    Well, shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: Good Evening, God Bless You.

    And then, you may Please be seated.

    I want to Thank the Almighty God for the Grace for us to gather again this Year.

    And I’m believing God that if Jesus Christ tarries, I will see you again Next Year!

    I’m believing God that by this Time Next Year (2024), the crowd will fill this Auditorium – Amen!

    Very briefly, let us go to the Book of Joel 2: 23-29:

    1. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first Month.
    2. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
    3. And I will restore to you the years that the Locust hath eaten, the Cankerworm, and the Caterpillar, and the Palmerworm, my Great Army which I sent among you.
    4. And ye shall eat in Plenty, and be satisfied, and Praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my People shall never be ashamed.
    5. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my People shall never be ashamed.
    6. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will Pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall Prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
    7. And also upon the Servants and upon the Handmaids in those days will I Pour out my Spirit.

    Today, we want to talk very briefly about “The Rain”.

    When we talk about “The Rain”; the first thing you will think about is Refreshing.

    When the weather had been very hot and suddenly the Rain falls; everybody feels cool.

    For Example, during the Last RCCG Holy Ghost Congress 2023, when the Heat became almost unbearable; I spoke to my Daddy – Daddy, we need Heavenly Air-Condition.

    And the Rain fell in December – And it cooled down everywhere.

    So may I start by Prophesying to Someone Inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; that every “Abnormal Heat” in your Life will be gone today – Amen!

    And you know that one of the Greatest Sources of Fresh Water is the Rain.

    When it rains, the River flows and we get Fresh Water.

    But Probably, the most important benefit of the Rain is to be found in Isaiah 55:10 – The Almighty God was talking about the Rain.

    And He says that it is the Rain that enables the Earth to bring Seed for the Sower and food to the Eater.

    It tells us Straightaway that the Greatest Opponent of Famine is the Rain – When it rains, there will be food to eat, there will be Seed to Plant so that the following Year, there will still be food to eat.

    And then it says in Amos 4:7:

    It says that when He is angry with the People, He will Rain on one City and keep the other City dry.

    And then, the City that had Rain will have food and will have water; while the City that had no Rain will have no food and no water.

    And then, those who Lack Rain will now have to go to those who have Rain to get food and to get water.

    I’m Prophesying to Someone tonight Inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; before this Time Next Year, your Colleagues will be coming to you for food and they will be coming to you for Refreshments – Amen!

    You know that in every family; there is Somebody that is called “The-Go-To” Person.

    Somebody you go to when you have a Problem, Somebody you go to when you have a Need!

    I decree that in your family, you will be The-Go-To” Person Person – Amen!

    Now, I don’t want to give a Long Lecture on ” The Rain” because I’m sure that they have gotten Mighty Preachers Lined Up to talk to you about that.

    But there are all kinds of Rain because the Theme is not “A Rain” but “The Rain”.

    “The Rain” means that there can be more than one Rain and there is a Particular Rain that you are talking about.

    Because you see, when God was angry with Sodom and Gomorrah, He rained Brimstone and Fire upon them – That is also a Rain.

    We are talking about the kind of Rain that brings Blessings – You know that the Bible talks about Showers of Blessings!

    So, just as I Prayed at the beginning, before you leave this Place; you will be Drenched with the Showers of Blessings – Amen!

    The only thing that I want to emphasis tonight because without doubt Rain is going to fall and it is going to fall Abundantly – It is that how much Rain that a Person can soak in; is determined by how dry the Person is.

    When there is Rain on any Part of the Ground that is not thirsty, the Rain will just fall and then flow off.

    But when a Piece of Land is thirsty, and the Rain comes; it will grab the Rain and soak it in.

    I will just tell you a Story and then it will be Time for you to Pray!

    You see, when you read the Book of Acts of the Apostles Chapter 6, from Verse 1 downwards.

    The Bible tells us that when the work of God began to expand and there were Problems about the Distributions of Materials, Somebody brought a Suggestion that they should appoint some People who will be helping with the Distribution of food.

    And then the Bible said that they choose seven (7) People and they mentioned certain names – One of the names they mentioned was Stephen.

    Then they said that: Stephen, a Man full of the Holy Spirit and Power!

    Now, you may just read that one and gloss over it. But the heart of a Mathematician in me asked the Question: What do you mean?

    On the Day of Pentecost, they were all filled and everybody was full.

    So, how come now that you are talking about a Man full of the Holy Spirit?

    And then, I got the Understanding – “There is “Full” and there is “Full” – Full differs from Full.

    The tyre of a car is full of air but the amount of air you put into the tyre of a car is not the same that you put into the tyre of an Aeroplane.

    The tyre of a car is about to carry just a “Small Car” that will carry maybe about five (5) People.

    But the tyre of an Aeroplane is about to carry a Giant; carrying at times as much as five hundred (500) People, travelling at an Extraordinary Great Speed.

    And from my little Knowledge of Mathematics, I know that there is something called “Kinetic Energy” – Which is a Multiplication of the weight and the square of the Speed with which that thing is travelling.

    DMC NOTES: Kinetic Energy is the energy of Motion, observable as the movement of an Object or Subatomic Particle. Every moving Object and Particle have Kinetic Energy.

    And when I calculated the Kinetic Energy of a Boeing 747 Plane, travelling at a Speed of about 500Km/Hr Landing, the Force with which it lands is not like a car just travelling on the road.

    And yet when that massive Plane lands; it lands on its tyres – The tyre bumps up and down and says to the Plane: Is that all you can do?

    DMC NOTES: *The Boeing 747 is a large, long-range wide-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States. After introducing the 707 in October 1958, Pan Am wanted a jet 2+1⁄2 times its size, to reduce its seat cost by 30% to democratize air travel.

    There is a difference between soaking in the Rain Casually and Soaking it in that even in a crowd, He will Pick you out just as it Picked out Stephen!

    A friend of mine Phoned me Last Night – We are about the same Age.

    Why are you calling me so late?

    He said that I just wanted to ask you a Question – Where do you get all these Strength from?

    He said because I have been following you – You just finished a Congress, then you go this A-Fishing thing you said that you are doing up and down – Preachimg, Laying Hands on the People and you are still bouncing.

    I’m going to Pray for my Father to release the Rain

    How much of it that you soak is up to you.

    Stand on your feet!

    I will ask you to first Pray and cry to the Everlasting Father.

    And say: Everlasting Father, soak me in Your Rain.

    Go ahead and talk to the Almighty.

    I’m not asking for a Drizzle Lord, I’m asking that You will soak me in Your Rain – Drench me in Your Rain.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    I will Pray for you now and after that, we will have some five (5) Minutes to Pray in the Spirit and see what God will begin to do from now on.

    SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR THE OUTPOURING AND SOAKING OF RAIN

    My Father and my God, I just want to bless Your Name – Everlasting Father, how Great thou Art.

    I Thank You for soaking me in Your Rain so that all these Years, my Father and my God; You have kept me bouncing for You.

    Behold these Your Children:

    These are the People Lord God Almighty that will carry the Gospel to every Nook and Cranny of the whole world.

    These are the People who will go where Angels feared to tread.

    These are the People who will go and even when all those Radical People of other Faiths, when they just see them coming; they will bow and say “Jesus is Lord”.

    Here they are tonight; Please Daddy, release Showers of Blessings.

    I Thank You for “Massive Drops”; I Thank You for the Dews of the Earth.

    But tonight Father, release the Showers.

    As many that are Thirsty among them, my Father and my God; soak them in Your Rain, and Drench them in Your Power like You have never done before since the world began.

    Release the Rain tonight!

    Father, release the Rain tonight; Almighty God release the Rain tonight.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    It is up to you now – Go ahead and begin to Pray in the Spirit. Call on the Almighty God in the Language of the Holy Spirit and the Rain will come!

    The Rain of Power, the Rain of Refreshing, the Rain of Fruitfulness, the Rain of Miracles, the Rain of Signs, the Rain of Wonders, the Rain of Anointing from the Almighty God!

    Open your mouth and blast away in the Holy Spirit!!!

    SPECIAL RCCG ONLINE SUNDAY SERVICE

    TOPIC: FOR WHOM THE HEAVENS OPEN- PART 33 (CASE STUDY OF JOSHUA (PART 20) – LEARN TO GIVE THANKSGIVING AFTER VICTORY AND DON’T BE OVERCONFIDENCE)

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 24TH DECEMBER 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: JOSHUA 7: 2-12

    Let Us Pray!

    SONG

    Immortal God
    Invincible God
    Immortal God, how Great thou Art.

    OPENING PRAYER

    Immortal, Invincible, the All-Wise God.

    We Thank You because You are All Sufficient God – You know all things and You can do all things.

    Thank You for everything that You have done for us in the Past and we Thank You for what You are going to do for us today – Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

    Father, it is written that You sent Your Words and it heals them.

    As Your Words will be going forth today; let it bring Healings to Your Children.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah !

    Well, greet one (1) or two (2) People and say: The Almighty God will surprise you today – Amen!

    And then, you may Please be seated.

    As we continue with Part 33 of our Series on: “For Whom The Heavens Open”.

    We will be reading Joshua 7: 2-12:

    1. And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the Country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
    2. And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the People go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
    3. So there went up thither of the People about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
    4. And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
    5. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
    6. And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
    7. O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
    8. For the Canaanites and all the Inhabitants of the Land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the Earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
    9. And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
    10. Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my Covenant which I Commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
    11. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

    … Oh Lord have Mercy!

    How I wish that we have several weeks to look at this Story alone. But we have so many other things to learn and so we will just do the little that we can do today on this Section.

    The Message that we want to bring to your attention here is that: Israel shouted before the Wall fell in Joshua Chapter 6 and then they took over Jericho.

    They shouted one Big Hallelujah and the Wall fell and they overtook Jericho – That Mighty City.

    But do you noticed that after the Wall fell, and after they took over the City; there was no Thanksgiving Service – None at all.

    They were willing to shout so that the Wall can fall and so that they can Match Straight ahead and take over Jericho.

    And after Jericho was taken, the next thing that they thought was to keep going on and go and handle Ai – There was no Thanksgiving Service.

    1. Learn that when God has given you a Victory, Praise Him!

    Why? Because you will need Him again.

    I. In Judges 15: 14-19; God gave a Great Victory to Samson – He used the Jawbone of an Ass to Slaughter thousands of his enemies and the rest fled.

    And he boasted: Heaps upon heaps; look at me with the Jawbone of an Ass, I have killed a thousand People,

    What was the next thing that he did? He threw away the Jawbone – He didn’t say Thank You, he didn’t Celebrate God but he just Celebrated himself.

    And then, he became thirsty and then he cried to God – You gave the Great Victory to me and now this “Invincible Enemy” called Thirst is about to kill me.

    And God, out of His Infinite Mercy said: I thought that you threw away the Jawbone. Pick it up again and out of the Jawbone came out water and he drank it.

    … You will need God again.

    II. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17; the Bible says that you are to Pray without ceasing.

    But when you look at Verse 18 (1 Thessalonians 5:18); it also says that in everything, give Thanks.

    Pray without ceasing is linked to Thanksgiving – Give Thanks without ceasing).

    III. That is why you heard David say in Psalms 34:1 – He said that I will bless the Lord at all times, His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.

    Why did he say that? Because he knew that after one Victory, you will need God again.

    IV. In 1 Samuel 17: 34-51; David said that a Bear came, I killed the Bear; after that a Lion came, I killed the Lion and then after that, Goliath came.

    You will need God again and so you need to learn how to Thank God at all times for everything that He has given you – Keep on Thanking Him!

    V. Moses can tell you that in Exodus Chapter 14 – God opened the Red Sea, the Children of Israel Passed through on Dry Land. And they had a Thanksgiving Service in Exodus 15: 1-21.

    After the Great Victory of Exodus Chapter 14, they had a Thanksgiving Service in Exodus 15: 1-21.

    Why? You see the Elders has a saying:

    A. They say that when you see a Hunter who returns from a Successful Expedition and he is making a Sacrifice; (Giving a Thanksgiving Service); it is not because of the animal he had already caught, it is because of the animals still remaining in the bush.

    He is saying that if I’m Grateful this time, I will be able to catch more animals next time!

    B. But then they also have another Proverb.

    They said that you are working in the farm and then Rain fell and then you ran to a nearby Hut and they took you in to escape the Rain. After the Rain stopped, you walk out of the Hut and you didn’t say Thank You to the Owner.

    They said that another Rain is going to fall and then you will come back to the same Hut.

    … Learn to be Grateful

    VI. Moses knew that after the Crossing of the Red Sea, Marah was on the way.

    Exodus 15: 22-25, they came to Marah.

    Marah now is not the case of “Opening up so that my People can Pass”; they are now thirsty and they now needed water to drink and the water they saw was bitter.

    But because they had already given Thanks for the Miracle that had just happened, the Almighty God could say to Moses: Alright, I have Prepared the Solution to this ahead of Time – There is a tree here, take a Branch from the tree, throw it to the water and the water will become Sweet.

    My Prayer for everyone of us who are True Children of God is that our Victory will Last forever – Amen!

    Please, after every Victory, have a Thanksgiving Service.

    1. Then we can move on to another Major Point here – And that is that the People came back to Joshua and said: Ai is small, don’t send the whole Army but just send three thousand (3,000) People will do.

    And I believed that this is a very Special Message for those of you who are in Leadership Positions – Whether in the Church or anywhere else: “BEWARE OF OVERCONFIDENCE” as Overconfidence can kill.

    When Joshua was face-to-face with Jericho, he didn’t send Somebody to go and survey; he went there by himself.

    He was there by himself telling God how am I going to get through when the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in Joshua 5: 13-15.

    But now, Jericho is down, Ai is small – I am Joshua, the Great Victor. I don’t need to go and see Ai for myself, let me send Somebody.

    The Elders has a Saying that no matter how Wealthy you are, when it comes to the issue of going to the Toilet; you can’t send your Messenger as you have to go yourself.

    There are certain situations in your Life that you can’t ask anybody to go and seek the face of God for you!

    Please my Beloveth Children, learn from me:

    Thank God for Prayer Warriors in our various Churches but it doesn’t matter how much they Pray; their Prayers cannot replace the Prayers of the Pastor.

    I believed that all the Leaders of our Churches are Listening – It doesn’t matter how many People you have in the Prayer Band; God expects you to Pray as you are the “Set Man”!

    We have thousands of Prayer Warriors who come around Particularly during the RCCG National Convention – And I mean thousands of them, Praying 24/7; and yet I go to the Prayer Room and I stay there.

    That’s why you don’t see me much during the RCCG National Convention except when I have to Minister in the Evening because Somebody has to stay in the Presence of God!

    Thank God for the Prayer Supports of all the Pastors, of all the Prayer Warriors et cetera et cetera; but God wants to hear from you – You are the “Set Man”.

    Because like I have always said, when the Convention goes fine and Miracle happens and all is well, we all share in the Joy. But if anything goes wrong – And God forbids, they will blame only one Fellow and I’m sure you know who that Person is.

    I remembered one Convention when it rained on the Holy Ghost Service Day (Friday); my People said, it rained today daddy. You are supposed to be in the Prayer Room (Laughters).

    I told them, yeah I accepted. They must be saying: Well, you failed us.

    I asked God, what happened? And he told me that there will be crowd that Night.

    That means that He cooled down the Place because at that time, we had only the Old Arena and it couldn’t take all the crowd without some Cooling down.

    • Anything goes wrong, the Chairman of the Company or Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will be held responsible.
    • Anything goes wrong under your Watch as the Pastor, you are the one who will be held responsible.

    There are things you don’t send other People to do for you – Praying is Number 1 of them!

    Overconfidence can kill:

    I. Overconfidence is what killed Samson.

    In Judges 16: 5-21; Samson was so sure that who is this “Little Girl” called Delilah – I, Samson the Great Champion; killed thousands with Jawbone of an Ass. What can you this “Little Girl” do?

    Because if you read that Story in Judges 16: 5-21; Delilah asked him Point Blank – What can we do to weaken you?

    Samson said, well let’s Play a Game!

    Overconfidence killed Samson!

    II. And believe it or not, it was Overconfidence that killed Goliath.

    In 1 Samuel 17: 41-51; Goliath looked at David and said: Am I a dog? You are coming against me with a Sling and a little Shepherd Stick? Do you know who you are coming to?

    That was why he didn’t cover his face – He had a Shield big enough.

    But he looked at David and said, I asked these People to send a Champion but they sent a Child.

    You know the rest of the Story – He never lived to know the results of his Overconfidence.

    III. 1 Samuel 2:9, my Beloveth; the Almighty God made it clear: By Strength shall no Man Prevail.

    So, if God gives you a Victory, Please don’t arrogate the Success to your Cleverness, or Strength – No, No, No; it is God!

    IV. 1 Corinthians 10:12, and the Almighty God says: You think you Stand? Take heeds lest you fall.

    V. Oh, I’m moving from Glory to Glory because I’m living Holy and I’m doing all the Will of God et cetera et cetera.

    How I wish that you will read Luke 4: 1-12?

    When the devil tempted the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord won hands-down. The Bible said that satan left Him (Jesus Christ) for a while looking for another opportunity.

    You win? Congratulations! But remember that you are fighting an enemy who does not sleep nor slumber.

    Because when you read Matthew 13: 24-28; the Bible tells us the Parable of a Man who sowed a Good Seed.

    The Bible said that while Men slept, an enemy came to sow tares.

    Thank God that we have a God who doesn’t sleep nor slumber.

    That’s why in Isaiah 40: 28-31; the Bible says that, wait on Him and He will renew your Strength.

    You don’t win and then say, now I’m the Great Conqueror! Ha, the enemy is always looking for another opportunity!

    Lamentation 3: 22-23 says that it is of the Mercy of the Lord that we are not Consumed.

    It is because He renews His Mercy every Morning, that is why we are here alive.

    That is why the Bible says in Matthew 26:41 – Keep Watching, Keep Praying.

    As we have learnt, those of us who attended the School of Disciples (SOD); the Greatest Time or the Most Important Time when you should be on the alert is after a Victory!

    You have just won a Great Victory, hey Stand on your Watch!

    I. You know the Story of Gideon in Judges 8: 22-27.

    Gideon just won a Great Victory and then the devil tried to tempt him immediately.

    The People came to him and say: Come and rule over us and he said no way. God is our King, and so don’t put me in trouble.

    I’m sure that you will Clap for him – Good boy! He didn’t want to take the Glory of God to himself.

    But almost immediately, the devil entered into him and told him, ask for their Gold. And he asked for Gold.

    And he made an Ephod – An Ephod is a Special Thing that a Priest will wear.

    He didn’t build a house with the Money o – It was an Ephod he made.

    And the Ephod became an Idol that brought destructions to the house of Gideon.

    … Watch and Pray!

    II. You know the Story of David very well in 1 Samuel 8: 6-11.

    It was when the People were returning from the killing of the Philistines after Goliath was dead that the People sang – Ha, King Saul had killed a thousand, David killed ten thousands.

    That was when the “Real Problem” for David began – That was when the father-in-law became a Man who was throwing Javelin at him.

    … Watch and Pray!

    III. You know the Story of Peter in Matthew 16: 13-23.

    When Jesus Christ said: Who do Men say I am?

    And the Disciples said, some say that you are the Great Teacher; oh you are a Prophet and you ate this and that.

    And Jesus Christ said: Who do you People (The Disciples) say I am?

    Peter said that You are the Son of the Living God.

    And Jesus Christ said, Congratulations as you are hearing from Heaven.

    And then Jesus Christ began now to say, alright, I’m getting ready to leave – I have to suffer.

    Immediately Peter who was now feeling that I can hear from Heaven, the devil jumped into him and he said: No Lord, You are not going to suffer and You are not going to die.

    Do you know what the Lord said to him? – Get thee behind me satan.

    … From the one who just got Revelations from Heaven, to the one now who is allowing the devil to speak through him,

    Watch and Pray! Overconfidence can kill!

    ALTAR CALL

    And so, those of you who has not given your Life to Jesus Christ – Thinking that you can handle your Life yourself; you are being Overconfidence. You can’t handle the devil as he doesn’t sleep nor slumber.

    If you don’t have the Almighty God who does not sleep nor slumber to help you; satan will make a Mincemeat of you.

    But if you love yourself now, you will humble yourself by coming to Jesus Christ – He will save your Soul and become your Defender.

    So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, bow down your head now so that I can Pray for you at this moment.

    Let Us Pray!

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

    My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Words and I want to Thank You especially for those of you who has decided to Surrender their lives to You because they can’t face satan alone.

    Father, Please receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins and Please receive them into the Family of God.

    And as from now on, begin to fight their battles for them.

    And I Pray that anytime they cry to You from this moment, You will answer them by Fire.

    And I Pray for all Your Children who are already Your Own, that from this moment onwards, anything called “Pride or Overconfidence” will become a Stranger to them.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

    Now, I rejoice with those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ.

    I want to assure you that from now on, I will be Praying for you.

    So, Please go to the nearest The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Church to you – Tell the Pastor there that I sent you and he will tell you what to do next.

    God Bless You!

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!

  • THE EVERLASTING FATHER: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG LETS-GO-A-FISHING PROGRAM, 22ND DECEMBER, 2023.

    THE EVERLASTING FATHER: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG LETS-GO-A-FISHING PROGRAM, 22ND DECEMBER, 2023.

    RCCG DECEMBER 2023 LET’S-GO-A-FISHING PROGRAM; REGION 42 @ FIDITI GRAMMAR SCHOOL, OYO STATE

    THEME: THE EVERLASTING FATHER

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 22ND DECEMBER 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 9:6

    Let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    I want to Thank God on behalf of “Fiditi” because God must have a “Very Special” Love for you – You are the very first Place we are starting this Year’s Program!

    That means that you will be the first People to get the Miracles.

    And so, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Usually, when we go A-Fishing like this, my duty is to just come, Pray for you and go because we have several other Places to go.

    But because I’m convinced now that you are “Very Special”, I will talk to you for about 5 Minutes before I Pray for you.

    We are talking of “The Everlasting Father”.

    In Isaiah 9:6 – That is where they gave us several names of Jesus Christ:

    1. They started by calling Him Wonderful.

    Which means that He can Perform Wonders for you – And He will Perform Wonders for you today (Amen).

    1. They also called Him Counsellor.

    That means that when you need Advice that only God can give, you turn to Him and He will give you Advice.

    For Example, in Daniel Chapter 2; a King had a Dream. When he woke up, he had forgotten the Dream and he called all his Wise Men together and said that they should tell him his Dream and then the Interpretations.

    They said: Kabiyesi (Meaning King); at least tell us the Dream, then we will tell you the Interpretations.

    He said that if you don’t tell me my Dream and its Interpretations; I will kill you,

    There was a Man among them called Daniel – He went to this God that we are talking about and that God told him the Dream and its Interpretations,

    And that God is here today or as you read on the Label of DMC – If you need Advice from God, you will get it today (Amen).

    As a matter of fact – I want to tell all of you who are Students. Because you are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; you will never fail another Exams (Amen).

    1. And they kept on giving Him names and finally, they called Him “Everlasting Father”.

    Two (2) important words there – “Everlasting” and “Father”.

    Now, who is this Father that we are talking about?

    This Father, the One we have brought to you today:

    1. He is the Father of all fathers.
    2. He is the Source of all Things.
    3. He is the Greatest Physician – When the Doctors says there is no Hope; He will say alright, bring the Fellow to me.

    That’s why I’m Prophesying to Someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Not only will God heal you today, you won’t even know Sickness again (Amen).

    1. This Father is the Richest of all fathers.
    • Because He says Silver is Mime, Gold is Mine.
    • He said that the Earth is Mine and the Fullness thereof.
    • This is the One who can make the Poor to be Rich.

    And so, I’m saying to Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Because you are here or reading now; before you enter into the New Year (2024); God will do something that Poverty will become a Stranger to your family (Amen).

    1. The Father that we are talking about even have the Power to raise the Dead.

    There has been a Man who has been Dead and buried for four days.

    But when this Father got there, He called him out and he came out.

    1. This Father that we are talking about, spoke to a Woman who was 90 years Old and her Womb was already dead.

    But this Father said to the Woman – He said that in 9 Months, you will be carrying a son.

    I have come to Fiditi to tell Someone today or as you read now on the Label of DMC that even if they say that you can never have a Child; nine (9) Months to today, we will rejoice with you – Amen!

    I can go on and on and on and talk about this my Father!

    But then you said that He is an “Everlasting Father”.

    What do they mean by that?

    You see, if the President is your father, you will enjoy the Power of the President for eight (8) years.

    But after eight (8) years, Somebody else will come and that your father will go on Retirement because the President as he is has to be Elected.

    But this Father that I’m talking about is Forever because Nobody votes for Him and so Nobody can vote Him out of Office.

    Every time that you need Him, He is there waiting for you – He has been there, He is here and He will always be here!

    You know that one of His Name is “I Am” – Not “I Was”, not even “I will be”. He just says “I Am”.

    • Every time you wake up – “I Am^
    • Anytime that you need Him – “I Am”.
    • Anytime that you want Him to give you Advice – “I Am”.

    … So, He is there all the time!

    Which means that from now on, anytime you need Help; you have a Father – A Father who lasts forever!

    That brings us to a Big Question:

    This is a Powerful Father – He can raise the Dead, He can raise up Beggars from the Dunghill and sit him among Princes, He can take the Poor and make him very Rich, He can Promote to any Height.

    The Question is: Is He your Father?

    Now, if I ask here now – How many Children of God are here?

    Everybody will raise his/her hands.

    But the Bible says: God knows those that are His Own.

    In Ilesha (Osun State) where I come from; they have a Proverb – Every Ijesha (A Citizen of a Town called Ijesha in Osun State) is a Child of “Owa” but when the night falls, “Owa” knows how many Children comes to his house to Sleep.

    DMC NOTES: Ilesha is the largest Town and Historic Cultural Capital of the Ijesha People in Osun State Nigeria, and is home to a Kingdom of the same name, ruled by an Oba locally styled as the “Owa Obokun Adimula”. The current reigning Owa Obokun is Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran II.

    Everybody is a Child of God but God knows those that are His Own!

    And when it comes to giving Miracles, He gives Miracles only to those who are His Own!

    A woman came to Him one day and said: Please, help me.

    He said to her: I cannot give the Bread of the Children to dogs – Miracles are for my Children.

    God is here today:

    • He wants to Perform Miracles.
    • He wants to do something for you before you leave this Ground today.

    But the Question is: Are you one of His Own?

    If you are not, you can be

    All you have to do is to Surrender your Life to Him.

    The Bible made it abundantly clear – To as many that believed in Him, to them gave Him Power to be called the Children of God.

    ALTAR CALL

    So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ today, don’t waste time because they are waiting for me somewhere else now.

    I will count from one (1) to five (5) – If you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ totally, so that from now on, you will be obeying Him and you will say bye bye to a Life of sin – Come forward.

    I will Pray for your Salvation, you will become a Child of God and the Miracle of the Father will become available to you.

    So come forward as I begin to count!

    Alright, those of you who are already infront and those of you on the way; cry to Him now and say: Everlasting Father, have Mercy on me; save my Soul as I will be one of Your Children. From now on, I will obey you; Jesus Christ, save my Soul.

    And those of us who are already sure of our Salvation; Stretch your hands towards these People infront and Pray for them.

    Pray that the One who saved your Soul will save their own Souls also.

    Please Pray for them for one more Minute.

    Thank You Father.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION

    Almighty God, I want to Thank You.

    I want to Thank You for Your Words and I want to Thank You for these People who has come forward to Surrender their lives to You.

    Please remember Your Promise – That whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out.

    They have come now, Father Please receive them, have Mercy on them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, let them become True Children of God.

    And Lord, from now on, whenever they call on You, answer them by Fire and let them serve You till the End.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Please don’t go anywhere yet because I want to Pray for everybody before you Pray for yourself.

    Now, all of us who believed that your Day has come at Last and that God is going to answer you today; Stand on your feet and shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    I’m going to Pray for you now and you are going to ask for a Christmas Present – That before Christmas Day, God do this for me.

    … And He will do it; I assure you!

    So, let us Pray!

    CLOSING PRAYER AND FINAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS ON FIDITI PEOPLE

    My Father and my God, I want to Thank You.

    I want to Thank You for bringing me here today, I want to Thank You because You always answer me and I know that You will answer me today – Accept my Thanks in Jesus Name.

    I’m committing everyone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC into Your Hands; whatever they ask from You; before the Sun sets today, Father give unto them:

    If they ask for Healing – Give it unto them.

    If they ask for Deliverance – Give it unto them.

    If they ask for Breakthrough – Give it unto them.

    If they ask for Fruit of the Womb – Give it unto them.

    If they ask for Promotion – Give it unto them.

    Whatever they ask You today, before the Sun Sets; Father give unto them.

    And when You have done so, don’t let them forget You.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    PERSONAL PRAYER REQUEST

    Now, it is your turn to Pray – Anything that you want from God, you will just lift your voice to Him and say:

    Father, I want this Miracle before Christmas Day!

    Go ahead and talk to God – Forget everybody else as it is between you and God now!!!

    DATE: 4TH DECEMBER 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 21:7

    Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    We started by climbing the first (1st) Ladder in January, and today we are already climbing the twelfth (12th) Ladder.

    Can you give a round of applause for God Almighty, the Keeper of Israel. The One who has kept you and kept me, the One who will never fail.

    The Helper of the helpless, surely He will help us today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Kindly let us Pray!

    SONG

    Blessed be Thy Name
    Blessed be Thy Name
    Blessed be Thy Name O Lord;
    Blessed be Thy Name
    Blessed be Thy Name
    Blessed be Thy O Lord.

    OPENING PRAYER

    Our Father and our God, we bless Your Name. The Holy One of Israel we Adore You. The God that never fails we say Thank You.

    Thank You for what You have been doing in our lives from the beginning of this year.

    Thank You for Previous Shiloh Hour Services – Thank You for fearful and terrible Testimonies we have recorded; thank You for what You are about to do now.

    And Thank You for what You will do in the future.

    Please, accept our Thanks, in the Name of Jesus.

    As we gather before You this very moment, our Hope is in You – The Helper of the helpless, the One who can reverse the irreversible, the One who can do the Impossible, the Almighty!

    Like never before, visit us again, in the Name of Jesus.

    That which only You can do, do it in our midst today, in the Name of Jesus.

    Reposition us from sorrow to Joy, in the Name of Jesus.

    Reposition us from Fruitless Efforts to Fruitfulness, in the Name of Jesus.

    Holy Spirit take over, in the Name of Jesus.

    And let Your Name be Glorified, in the Name of Jesus.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    God bless you for being here today and reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen.

    And I Congratulate you for being here in this Season of Divine Repositioning.

    As God lives, by the time you are leaving here, God would have Supernaturally Changed your Status, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    I want to appreciate my beloved daddy and father-in-the-Lord – The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye, for the Privilege he has granted to me.

    And I Pray for him and our beloved Mummy, that God will continue to work with them, Strengthen them and empower them, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    And I want to assure you that they are Praying for us concerning this Programme; and their Prayers over us shall be answered, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Like I said, we are in the Season of Divine Repositioning. And because you are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC, you are going to taste the first Part of the Miracle, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    When we talk about Divine Repositioning, in a simple way, we are saying:

    • God is taking us Supernaturally from where we are, to where He wants us to be.
    • To where we desire to be, according to His Plan and Purpose.

    And whatever happens, no matter the situation and circumstances, the Purpose of God will ever stand – Amen!

    And as I stand on this Glorious Altar, I decree to your lives: His Purpose for your Fruitfulness will stand, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    I will just share with you the Testimony of someone that God Changed her Position from Barrenness to Fruitfulness.

    As He has done before, He will do it again and even now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    I’ll take my Text from Genesis 21:7,

    And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

    1. This is the Testimony of someone who had Previously concluded that she was going to die barren, that she was going to die childless because she had waited for a long Period of time – Over twenty (20) years Passed, and Nothing happened.

    I want to give Good News to someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – It doesn’t matter how long you have been waiting, God will still Prove Himself in your Life in the Name of Jesus (Amen).

    After waiting for several years, Sarah lost Hope.

    However, God Repositioned her from Hopelessness unto Hope because she eventually brought forth a Promise Child.

    When you look at Genesis 30:1, you will see the Story of another Person who lost Hope, to such an extent that she confronted her husband, “give me children or I die.”

    Meaning, “it is better to die than to remain barren; it is better to die than to be attending Naming Ceremonies without anybody to attend mine.” Hence she said, “give me children or I die.”

    She lost hope completely because of her situation.

    But when you get to Genesis 30:23-24, the same woman who had lost Hope; the one who Preferred Death to Living, now said “God has taken away my reproach.” God Changed her Position from Reproach and Shame to Glory!

    The same God will Change your Position today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    She went further to say, “the Lord will also add to me another son” after she named her first son Joseph.

    Have you lost Hope? Say to yourself: This year is ending again, but my Hope will rise again, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    1. This is the Testimony of someone whose case has been Medically closed.

    Because she had entered Menopause.

    That is why, when she was Testifying she said: Who would have thought that Sarah would give her breast to a child to suck? She said, I have bore Abraham a son in his old age.

    That Testimony depicts what she Passed through – Because Medically and Physically speaking, she was not supposed to have a child again.

    Have they told you also that with the Conditions and circumstances you are in at the moment, it would be Practically impossible to Conceive?

    I want you to go back and tell them: “After today, my Twins are on the way” – Amen.

    Because God will surely Change your Position, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Why am I so sure?

    When you read Genesis 18:13-14, the Bible says: And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, when am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the Time of Life, and Sarah shall have a son.

    Because there is no Impossibility with God, by this time next year, you will come back with your children, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    1. This is the Testimony of someone whose husband was very old.

    The husband was a hundred years of age; and she herself was very, very old: ninety (90) years of age.

    It could be that you have been believing God before; but now that your husband is getting old you’ve started doubting. You’ve started considering whether it would still happen again.

    I assure you: It would happen again and again, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    1. Is it your womb and uterus that they say is blocked?

    If your womb is blocked, you even have a womb.

    What of the Testimony of a woman without womb; and God Changed her Position from Barrenness to a mother of Twins?

    Who said He cannot do your own?

    Today, He will Change your situation, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    They might have said that your uterus is blocked, or that you are suffering from Hormonal Imbalance or that your case cannot even be Medically Diagnosed.

    That they couldn’t see what is wrong with you or they have Tested and discovered, that everything is right with you, yet you are not conceiving. You have not been able to conceive even for days or weeks.

    That Medical Expression will Change to God’s Expression, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    In Luke 1:36-37, I want you to listen to it very carefully, because it is very interesting how the Angel put the News – And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the Sixth Month with her, who was called barren. For with God Nothing shall be Impossible.

    The Angel said to Mary, your cousin, you know her very well (that is my illustration) – She is very old, no one expects her to carry a baby again.

    Not only did she know herself as a barren woman; everyone in the Community knew her as barren.

    That is why the Angel said, “who was called barren.”

    They nicknamed her with her Problem.

    But the Angel said, you want to hear?

    God has Repositioned her! – Today she is carrying six (6) Months Pregnancy in her womb.

    Who am I talking to? Who is God referring to here? – Those trusting for the Fruit of the Womb among the DMC Family Members!

    If you are the one say: I am the one!

    Your Story will Change today in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    I can go on and on about the Testimonies of others; but I know your own Testimony is on the way – Amen.

    WHAT BROUGHT A CHANGE TO THE POSITION OF SARAH?

    1. The Promise of God:

    Exodus 23:25-26, And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take Sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall Nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy Land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

    … I think someone should say Amen to that – Amen.

    That is the Promise of God – And our God can never lie.

    Numbers 23:19 says: God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it Good?

    Whatever God says is already done!

    • God did not create your womb to be empty.
    • God did not create any man to be barren.

    The first Blessing God said, “Be Fruitful.”

    Whatever is hindering your Fruitfulness, the Power of God will remove them today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    That Promise is for you and it is for me – None shall be barren in the Land.

    Few Months ago, Daddy GO was telling us that if you look at the Scriptures, no one was barren, except the one who made jest of her husband when he was Praising God.

    He went further to say that you will never see a goat, a cow or a chicken that is barren.

    And if God says to you and I that we shall not be barren in the Land and you are already in this Holy Ground or you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC – Your Barrenness is Cancelled, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Because the Faithfulness of God can never fail – And it will not fail over you – Amen!

    1. The Power in the Word of God.

    The Word of God came to Sarah expressly in Genesis 18:14 – Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of Life, and Sarah shall have a son.

    And once God’s Word had gone out, t will not return void: it will do that which it was sent forth to do.

    The Word of God has gone out to you also. Because Last Month, by the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our Daddy; he declared that every Wall barricading our Fruitfulness has already crumbled – Amen!

    And because the Word has gone out, I say to your Life, they will never rise again, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    The Word has also come out today because this Holy Ghost Congress is tagged, “Divine Repositioning”.

    See if God will not Resposition you from barrenness to Fruitfulness:

    I. He would not have said it.

    II. He would not have allowed you to be here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC.

    And because you are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC, I say to you that you are no longer barren – Amen!

    Do you see yourself so?

    Because when the Angel came to Manoah’s wife in Judges 13:3-4 – Someone who had been barren for years, the Bible says:

    And the Angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. Now therefore beware, I Pray thee, and drink not wine nor Strong drink, and eat not any Unclean thing:

    The Angel stood infront of a woman who had been barren for years; her husband was not there, there was no Intimacy yet. And he said, you will conceive and bear a son: he is not going to be an Ordinary child, he is going to be a child of Destiny and with some other conditions.

    … And he repeated it again: you will conceive and bear a son.

    I say by the Authority of the Word of God and the Efficacy of His Promise, that you will conceive and bear children: and they would not be Ordinary children, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    You will have Male and Female, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Your Amen is low (you need to believe God’s Word) – Amen!!!

    And I stand on the Authority and Anointing of my father-in-the-Lord to declare: No matter what is troubling your heart, you have been Repositioned to Fruitfulness, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    WHAT MADE THAT OF SARAH POSSIBLE?

    1. The Covenant of God.

    In Genesis 15:4-5, Abraham had an encounter with God.

    And, behold, the Word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward Heaven, and tell the Stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy Seed be.

    Maybe you are looking at yourself also, that time is Passing by you – Time will never bypass you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    God is never “Too Late” – He is always on time.

    God said to Abraham, “Look now toward Heaven, and tell the Stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy Seed be.”

    1. Abraham did one thing which I want you to do today: He believed God.

    Who against hope believed in Hope, that he might become the father of many Nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And therefore it was imputed to him for Righteousness – Romans 4:18, 22.

    Tell your Neighbour: Believe God, believe His Word, believe His Prophet, and you shall be Repositioned.

    He believed God!

    How many of you are children of Abraham here today or reading now on the Label of DMC? Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    And has the Word of God come to pass or not? It has!

    Surely, He will Reposition you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    1. God Paid them a Visit and they Welcomed Him.

    In Genesis 18, God was Passing in the form of Trinity.

    By the time they got to Abraham, he welcomed them, brought them to his Tent, washed their feet and entertained them.

    It was after that entertainment that this Prophecy came – Which translated to Testimony in the family of Abraham.

    God is paying you a visit today: Will you welcome Him? Will you receive Him? Will you entertain Him?

    Because, it is Practically impossible for a Problem to be above God. It is Practically impossible for God not to Change our Position or situation.

    The Problem is not on the side of God, the Problem is with us.

    During the Earthly Ministry of Jesus Christ, He would ask, “Do you believe I can do this?”

    If you say Yes from the bottom of your heart; He would not Pray but would simply say, “Let it be unto you according to your Faith.”

    And those who really believed were not disappointed.

    As God lives, you would not be disappointed, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Will you receive Him today and believe Him for who He is?

    Will you believe His Word, His Promise and Covenant?

    Faithful is He that has Promised, surely He will bring it to pass.

    He has Promised to Reposition you Divinely; and it is coming to pass in your Life and my Life even now, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    In conclusion:

    The Greatest Repositioning is when God Repositions you from Darkness to Light.

    When He Repositions you from Death to Life.

    ALTAR CALL

    If you are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC and you are not Born Again, you need to give your Life to Jesus Christ. You need to Surrender that Problem to Him; you need to make up your Mind that, this burden is no longer your burden – You want to cast it to the Burden Bearer.

    His Word says in 1 Peter 5:7, Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

    God cares for you than you can ever imagine.

    And if He says He is Repositioning us, for sure, it is already Settled.

    But if you are not part of His Family; if you have not identified with Him: the Promises of God are for His Children, they are not for Strangers.

    The Covenant of God are for His Children, they are not for those who are living outside of the Covenant – And there is no way you can live within the Covenant except you give your Life to Jesus Christ.

    I will give you another opportunity today:

    • To come and first settle with Him.
    • To come and reconcile with your Maker – The One who created you to be Fruitful.

    When you come to Him this Morning, everything would turn around Positively, and you too will begin to Glorify God.

    So if you are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC and you are not Born Again, do so now. Because we want to Pray some Powerful Prayers: and these Prayers will only answer to those who are God’s Children.

    I want to advise you to bring your burden before the Altar – Come and say Lord Jesus; I Surrender to You, I don’t want to carry the burden alone anymore.

    And God will answer you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Shall we Please, rise up on our feet?

    If you want to say bye bye to a Life of sin; you are saying, “I am tired of Barrenness, I come to You Lord Jesus, Please take over from now” – Come and Surrender to Jesus Genuinely today.

    … Encourage them with your clapping, Please!

    Those hands will be Fruitful; they will be Prosperous, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION

    Father, in the Name of Jesus!

    What a Loving Father You are, that You have decided to Reposition these ones unto Yourself. For no one can come unto You except You draw them.

    Thank You for drawing these People to Yourself – Receive them in the Name of Jesus.

    Every sin they might have committed, let Your Blood wash away, in the Name of Jesus!

    Every guilt of sin in their heart, remove by Your Blood, in the Name of Jesus.

    Give them Power to sin no more, in the Name of Jesus.

    Give them Power to serve you to the End, in the Name of Jesus.

    And together we shall make it to Heaven, in the Name of Jesus.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    I congratulate you for Genuinely surrendering your Life to Jesus Christ today. And I want to assure you that our Daddy would be Praying for you.

    So he needs your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.

    And all the Problems you have brought here, you are going to see them no more, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    PRAYER POINTS

    1. Say Father, have Mercy on me – whatever is standing between me and Fruitfulness, have Mercy on me, in the Name of Jesus.
    2. Say Father, You Changed the Sorrow of Hannah to Joy, Reposition me to Joy today, in the Name of Jesus.
    3. Say Father, I am tired of Old Story; I am tired of being in the same situation for years. You have Promised to Reposition me; Please Lord, Change my Story to Fruitfulness, and give me a Testimony like that of Sarah, in the Name of Jesus.
    4. Finally, before you Pray: the Bible says Fire goes before Him and consume His enemy round about.

    Say Father, if there is any enemy behind my Unfruitfulness, saying I will not be Repositioned; let Your Fire consume now, in the Name of Jesus.

    Go ahead and talk to Jesus now!

    Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    THANKSGIVING

    Now, before I Pray for you, we want to give our Offering.

    After which you will come to the Altar, then I will round up the Prayer – The One who Changed the Position of Hannah is already working in your Life.

    It is Settled

    For you shall say thy Truth
    And the Truth shall make you Free

    Forever Oh Lord
    Thy Word is Settled in Heaven

    OPENING PRAYER

    King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Ancient of Days, the Unchangeable Changer – We Worship You.

    Thank You for another opportunity to remember the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Father, we are asking that today in the lives of everyone or us here Present or reading now on the Label of DMC; You will Please do something New.

    Send Your Word Oh Lord and let that Word bring Healings to Your People.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    But you see, there is Somebody here today or reading here now on the Label of DMC; that it doesn’t matter what the Enemies may try, that Fellow is going to see the New Year – Amen!

    This is a Season of Love, a Season of Joy, a Season of Peace – And so, I want you to shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell him/her: “I Love you whether you like it or not”.

    Allow me to Salute all my fathers-in-the-Lord – All the Bishops, the Arch Bishops. Thank You very much for allowing an “Ordinary Pastor” to Preach here tonight.

    I also want to Salute all the Traditional Rulers – We appreciate you because you are the “Original Rulers”. You have been ruling before the White Men came.

    You are the Rulers not by Election but by Selection – And we give God all the Glory for your Life.

    And we Pray that your Kingdom will continue to Prosper in Jesus Name – Amen!

    As for all the other Protocols; I just want to stand on the one that has been established.

    And those of us who has not been mentioned, I just want to say: God Bless You Brothers and Sisters – I think that should include everybody.

    We will look at: John 14:6

    Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no Man cometh unto the Father but by me.

    Several years ago here in Abeokuta; I used this Particular Bible Text during one of the Carol Services.

    And I made a Promise then because that time I spoke about: Jesus Christ being ‘The Way’.

    • The Way out of Trouble.
    • The Way into Joy.
    • The Way Forward.
    • The Way Upward
    • The Way where People say there is “No Way”.
    • And the Way to Heaven.

    And I remembered that I Promised then that one day, I will come back and talk about: Jesus Christ, ‘The Truth’.

    Years has Passed and I have not fulfilled that Promise – That is the reason Probably why I am here tonight.

    I want to fulfill the Promise I made years ago to talk about: Jesus Christ, ‘The Truth’.

    In John 8:32; the Bible says that you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you Free.

    And I’m Praying in the Name that is above every other name that before this Night is over, every Bondages in your Life will be gone – Amen!

    TRUTH NO 1:

    The first Truth that you need to know is that God Created you – You are Created by God!

    According to John 1: 1-3; the Bible makes it clear that in the Beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God.

    And in Verse 3, it says that it was by Him were all things made and there is Nothing that was made, that was not made by Him.

    It doesn’t matter what the Scientists may say; you are not a Relation of Monkeys – God Created you!

    I. And if He is the One who Created you, then it follows that He has the Ability to “Repair You”.

    You go through the Scriptures – You read Mark 3: 1-5; the Bible talked about a Man with a Withered Hand.

    When Jesus saw him, he repaired the Hand.

    And I’m believing God that tonight or as you read now on the Label of DMC; anyone here with any form of Sickness or Disease requiring repairing, the Almighty God will come down and repair you in Jesus Name – Amen!

    II. Not only can He repair, He can “Recreate You”.

    If there is something in your Life that is missing, the Almighty God can put it there!

    In John 9: 1-7; the Bible tells us that when He saw a Man who was born Blind – The Man who came to the world without eyes; He created “New Eyes” for him.

    So, if you are here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; and you have something missing in your Body – Maybe from the Day you are born or through an Accident; I am Praying that in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ that He will recreate you – Amen!

    III. Not only that, the Almighty God can make sure that for the rest of your Life, you don’t even know Sickness again.

    It is written in Exodus 15:26; that if you will only obey Him, He will make sure that no Sickness will come near you at all because He will be the Lord who will be your Physician.

    I’m Praying for Someone here tonight that you have not not came for “Just a Carol Service” but you have come to a New Beginning of Health. And that for the rest of your Life, you will never know Sickness again – Amen!

    I remembered years ago that we had a Holy Ghost Service at the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos State and the crowd was so massive – People were sitting far, far on the Gallery above.

    And there was a Man there who has a very “Big Goitre”.

    And as I was Preaching, God spoke to me that there is Someone here with a Growth around his neck. That the Growth is gone.

    Now, normally if you have that kind of Problem, before People see your face, they will see the Growth.

    There has been a girl sitting next to that Man that has been looking at the Growth as the Service was going on.

    And when she heard that there is Someone here with a Growth round the neck and the Growth was gone; she turned of course to see and she discovered that the Growth was gone.

    She was so shaken by that experience that after the Program, she trekked from Surulere to Palm Groove (DMC NOTES: Both Cities in Lagos State Nigeria); before she remembered that she Parked her car at the Stadium.

    There is Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; God is about to give you a Miracle. A Miracle that will frightened your Neighbour – Amen!

    TRUTH NO 2:

    The Lord God Almighty owns the Earth and the Fullness thereof.

    According to Psalms 24:1 – The Bible says the Earth is the Lord and the Fullness thereof.

    In Haggai 2:8; the Bible says, Gold is Mine, Silver is Mine saith the Lord of Host.

    In Psalms 50: 9-10; the Almighty God says that even the Cattle upon the thousand Hills are Mine.

    Every money in the entire world belongs to Jesus – All the Wealth, all the Oil, all the Cattles anywhere in the world belongs to Him!

    I remembered years ago, I was travelling and I was sitting in the First Class Cabin because Someone bought me Ticket.

    There was a Man sitting next to me – And if you look at the way he was dressed, you will see that he is a “Sinkingly Rich” Man – If I was for sale, he Probably could have been able to buy me.

    Now, I wanted to talk to him about Jesus Christ but I know that if I begin to talk about Jesus Christ, He will turn me off.

    So, I just told him that I want to introduce him to my father.

    He said, who is your father? I said my father is the richest Man in Nigeria.

    He said what does he do? I said, well he is into Oil and Gas, he is also into Diamond and Gold and in addition to that, you never can count the number of cattles that he has.

    He became keenly interested – He wanted to find out if he could become a Business Partner.

    And then he asked, what is the name of your father? And I know that if I say Jesus Christ at that Stage, I will still loss him – And so I said that my father’s name is Chief Emmanuel.

    … He is the One whose name is Emmanuel and He is the One who is the richest of all.

    Now, because He is the Controller of everything called Wealth in this world, that is why He can decide to make Somebody rich in a Miraculous Way!

    Oh, there are several ways of making Money but there is only one way you can become rich without Sorrow.

    The Bible says that it is the Blessings of the Lord that maketh rich and added no Sorrow to it.

    I have come here today or as you read now on the Label of DMC to announce to Someone that in the Coming Year (2024); God is going to do something for you that will cause your family to move far away from the Border of Poverty forever – Amen!

    TRUTH NO 3:

    When my Father opens a Door, Nobody can shut it; and when He says Yes, Nobody can say No!

    He tells us that I have “The Key of David” – And when I open a Door, no Man can shut it; if I shut a Door, there is no Man who can open it.

    In Exodus 5: 1-2; Pharaoh said that I don’t know the Lord and I will not allow Israel to go – That is after God had said that my People must go so that they can go and serve me.

    But by the time God finished with him (Pharaoh) in Exodus 12: 29-33; it was the same Pharaoh who was begging the children of Israel to go and serve the Lord.

    I believed that the Almighty God wants me to come here tonight and tell Someone or making your Path of Destiny to cross with this Transcript from the Stable of DMC; that all those Forces that has been holding you Captive, in the New Year (2024), they will beg you to go – Amen!

    TRUTH NO 4:

    It is the Lord Jesus Christ that Controls Life and Death!

    In Deuteronomy 32:39; He said clearly: I am God, there is no one else. I am the One who kills, and I am the One who can make alive.

    You know that is Good News for you because it means that if there is anybody who is Planning that you will not see the New Year (2024); the Almighty God will tell the Fellow he is lying.

    You find several Examples in the Bible:

    I. In Daniel 3: 1-end; it tells us the Story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

    It tells you the Story of three (3) Hebrew Boys that were thrown into a Fiery Furnace – The Bible tells us that the Fire was so hot that those who threw them in, the heat of the Fire killed them.

    But these People that they thought had already gone forever, came out only to be Promoted.

    II. Also in Daniel Chapter 6, when they threw Daniel into the Den of Lions that they covered with a huge stone. They thought that he was finished.

    But I have Good News for Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC; it doesn’t matter what the Doctors may say. The Doctors might have told you that there is no Hope for you or all your Enemies may have concluded all their Plans to make sure that you will not see the New Year (2024) – Well, I want you to know that Death and Life is in the Power of the Almighty God.

    And I’m telling you that as the Lord lives, even by this Time Next Year (2024); you will still be alive to Celebrate – Amen!

    I could remember the Story of a woman who came to the Holy Ghost Service – And somehow, the Word of God came and said that there is Someone here, your Appointment with Death has been Cancelled.

    And of course, she said Amen like everybody there but she didn’t know that it was for her exactly.

    Well, Saturday Morning came, she left the Redemption Camp, got home and those People who owed her a lot of Money decided that since they couldn’t Pay her back, the best thing to do is to finished their Creditor.

    So, they Kidnapped her, tied her, put her in the boot of a car and they are driving her to Badagry so that they could get to the bush somewhere there and finished her up.

    But as they were driving, there was this Police Check Point.

    And as they are getting closer to them, they already put some Money in their hands to settle the Police so that they can easily drive on.

    But they got to the Check Point and the Police said No, we are not taking Money but want to see what is in your boot.

    They thought maybe the Money was not enough, they added more to the Money but the Police still said No, we must see what is in your boot.

    When they saw that the Police were determined, they jumped out of the car and began to run.

    And the Police forced open the boot and they found the woman there bound.

    And they set her Free.

    I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; your Appointment with Death is Cancelled – Amen!

    TRUTH NO 5:

    God is the One who Controls Times and Seasons.

    In Revelation 1:8; He says that I am the Alpha and Omega; the Beginning and the Ending; the One who was, the One who is and the One who is to come.

    Yes, the Bible says that for everything in Life, there is a Season, there is a Time for every Purpose of God on Earth.

    And Daniel 2:20, tells us that there is a God who Controls Times and Seasons.

    As a matter of fact, the Bible tells us that He is the One who Controls the Rising and Setting of the Sun.

    Psalms 113:3 says: From the rising of the Sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord’s Name is to be Praised.

    It means that God decides your Future – He is the One who can say, alright what I had Planned for your Life, that I Planned to bring to Past in ten (10) years time, I can bring it to today!

    He is also the One who will determine when you will finish here on Earth.

    You might think that the Purpose of God for your Life, the Promises of God for your Life, your Dreams of Greatness now fading away, that it is “Too Late” for you to become Somebody in this world; I have Good News for you – There is Someone who Controls Times and Seasons and He is ready to help Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen!

    Several years ago, when I was about to turn 60 years old, my children were getting ready for Celebrations – Making all kinds of Preparations. But I was sad.

    Why was I sad? I have a rough idea of why God sent me to the world, and I have a rough idea that The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) that He asked me to lead is yet to be known throughout the whole world – At that time, we were only in fifty six (56) Nations of the world.

    And so I was saying to God, I was groaning: Lord: I’m going to be 60 years Old and if in Nigeria you are 60 years old and you live to be 90 years old, that’s a Miracle – There is still so much to be done Lord. What am I going to do?

    And God spoke to me and said: Son, I’m the One who decides when the Sun will Set.

    Thank God, 21 years had gone and the Sun is not Set yet.

    And by the Grace of God, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is now in one hundred and ninety five (195) Nations of the world.

    I’m saying to Someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, your Sun will not Set in the Afternoon – Amen!

    TRUTH NO 6:

    The Last Truth is found in Revelation 3:20.

    There the Almighty God said: Behold I Stand by the Door and I knock, if you hear my Voice and you opened the Door for me I will come in and then we begin to Fellowship together.

    And of course, if God comes into your house, you know what that means:

    I. He comes into your house, there will be no Failure in that house anymore.

    II. He comes into your house, Sorrow will not be able to stay in that house again.

    III. If He comes into your house, Forces of Darkness will not be able to stay there anymore.

    He says that if you open the Door unto me, I will come in!

    This has led to several People asking the Question – If God is the Almighty, if He is as Powerful as you claimed He is; why must He wait for me to open the Door? Can’t He just kick the Door open and come in?

    Well, the answer I have always given to this is that He is not an Armed Robber – He is a Gentleman. He will knock on the Door.

    When He knocks, if you like you open the Door, and if you like, you don’t open the Door.

    If you don’t open the Door, He will go away.

    And He will go away because He knows that sooner or later, you too will come and knock at His Door.

    And if you don’t open your own Door to Him, when you knock at His Own Door too, He will not open His Own Door to you.

    When I was a little boy, some of you knows a little bit about my dad – He was so Poor that Poor People call him Poor.

    The “Little House” we lived in had no Windows – So even in the daytime, if you want to look for something in the room, you had to Light a Lamp.

    And so, whenever I offend him, I will run into the room. Because it is dark, he can’t locate me in the room.

    But my father never followed me into the room – He will just take a Stool and sit by the door because he knew sooner or later, something will bring me out.

    If I stay there long enough, hunger will ask me to come out and he will be there waiting for me by the door.

    In the same manner, God is sitting by His Door waiting for you because whether you know it or not, and whether you want to believe it or not; you should know that you will leave this world one day.

    The Bible says clearly in Ecclesiastes 9:5 – It says that the Living knows that he will die.

    The Truth is Settled:

    • Whether you are Rich, you are going.
    • Whether you are Poor, you are going.

    The funny thing is that Death doesn’t even come by Age – You don’t have to be “Very Old” before you die. Death can come at any moment!

    And when Death comes, then you will face your Maker and you will have to Settle with Him.

    But David said something in Psalms Chaper 23 – He said that though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no Evil.

    Why? Thou Art with me.

    If you haven’t Surrendered your Life to Him, when Death come knocking because sooner or later we are going; then you will have to walk through the Valley of Death alone.

    And then you will meet your Maker at the Door and there you will have to Settle either for Heaven or for Hell.

    And Heaven is forever, just as Hell is forever!

    But tonight or as you read now on the Label of DMC, you can make up your Mind that you will Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ so that when the time comes for you to go, He will be there to hold you by the hand and then you will be able to go with Him into Heaven!

    ALTAR CALL

    So, I’m going to give you an Opportunity tonight to make a Choice – The Choice of whether to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ or to tell Him that I don’t need You, go away!

    If you say that I don’t need You and He goes away, maybe this will be the Last Sermon that you will ever hear, and then you come face-to-face with Him, He will show you a Video of tonight that His Servant offered you an Opportunity to Surrender your Life to Him and you refused.

    But if you Surrender your Life to Him today, not only can He Changed everything from your very Beginning till now; He will give you a New Beginning.

    And whenever the time comes for you to go, He will come to hold you by the Right Hand and lead you into Glory.

    So, the Choice is yours!

    So, I’m going to ask now that you will Please bow your Head and take a very Strong Decision:

    If you really want to say: Yes Lord, I will Surrender my Life to You so that from now on, You will be my Saviour, You will be my Guide, You will be the One Controlling everything I do in my Life; then all I ask you to do is to raise up your hands now that all Heads are bowed and all eyes are closed,

    Raise your hands and say: Pastor, Pray for me. I want to Surrender my Life to Jesus Christ.

    You see, everything you can need in Life belongs to Him.

    I will just count from one (1) to seven (7):

    Now, those of you that have already come, talk to Jesus Christ for a Minute:

    Ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to save your Soul, ask Him to take over the rest of your Life, ask Him to forgive whatever you have done in the Past and continue to shape your Future,

    And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands towards our New Brothers and Sisters and Intercede for them – That the God who had saved our Souls will save their own Souls also.

    Thank You Father.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    INTERDENOMINATIONAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE FOR HIS IMPERIAH ROYAL MAJESTY ALAYELUWA OBA GHANDI AFOLABI OLUFEMI OLADUNNI OLAOYE (THE ORUMOGEGE III, SOUN OF OGBOMOSO LAND) HELD AT BEULAH BAPTIST CONFERENCE OGBOMOSO OYO STATE

    TOPIC: THE FULFILMENT OF DESTÌNY – “FOR THIS PURPOSE YOU ARE BORN”.

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE (GENERAL OVERSEER, RCCG)

    DATE: 17TH DECEMBER 2033

    BIBLE TEXT: ACTS 15::18

    Let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    I know that there is Someone here today who will see the New Year!

    Let Us Pray!

    SONG

    I have a Father
    Almighty Father
    He is Kimg of Kings and Lord of Lords
    I have a Father

    OPENING PRAYER

    King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the I am that I am; the Alpha and the Omega; the Beginning and the Ending; the Holy One of Israel. The One who is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace – Glory be to Your Holy Name.

    Thank You for today, Thank You for all who are here.

    Please Daddy, even as we have come to rejoice with Your son, give everyone of us something to rejoice about.

    At the end of everything Lord, let Your Name be Glorified.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God will bless you today.

    And then, you may Please be seated.

    First of all, let me apologise for coming late – Those who knows me, know that is not my way of Life. The People at the Airport in Ikeja, who Controls when you can take off from the Ground didn’t allow us to leave until about 10.30am.

    Secondly, I want to Salute my fathers-in-the-Lord – Thank You for allowing “Ordinary Pastor” to represent you today.

    And then, I want to Salute all my Traditiinal fathers – Your Kingdom will go from Glory to Glory in Jesus Name.

    Your Imperial Royal Majesty (DMC NOTES: Referring to: HIS IMPERIAH ROYAL MAJESTY ALAYELUWA OBA GHANDI AFOLABI OLUFEMI OLADUNNI OLAOYE (THE ORUMOGEGE III, SOUN OF OGBOMOSO LAND) – CONGRATULATIONS!

    Acts 15:18

    Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world.

    Nobody is in this world by Accident!

    God said in His Words in Jeremiah 1: 4-5; it says: Before I formed you in the belly; I knew you; while you are still in your Mother’s Womb, I have already settled what you are going to become.

    And then in Jeremiah 29:11; the Almighty God says: I know the thoughts that I think towards you; thoughts of Good and not evil that you might have an Expected End.

    There is an End that God has Planned for you to have; there is something that is called Destiny – Before you are born, that has been Settled.

    Everything that we are seeing today has been Settled before the Foundation of the world.

    When Kabiyesi (King) came to me and said: Daddy, they are asking me to come and ascend to the Throne of my fathers; that what do you think about that?

    I said: Sir, go and Pray.

    He said that do I have to Pray about something like that? I said that we will Pray.

    He was expecting me to say: What are you talking about? You are a Pastor o! But I said he should go and Pray.

    He went, he came back and aaid: I haven’t heard anything. And I said Pray more because God has to say either Yes or No.

    I heard in the Newspapers and I have seen it on the Internet – People accusing Pastor Adeboye of not doing his duty. That I should have told my Pastor – No!

    Well, I want to submit to them (That is to the Critics) – If Adeboye says No and God says Yes; who is going to have the Final say?

    So, finally, my son – Now my King; came back and said God has spoken.

    God told him that: “FOR THIS PURPOSE YOU ARE BORN” – I CREATED YOU TO BE A KING!

    I said: See what I am talking about o?

    Fortunately for me, he didn’t ask me – I thought that he will say: Daddy, you mean you knew all along?

    He didn’t ask me and so I didn’t have to answer!

    Brothers and Sisters, the Plan of God for your Life will come to Past – Amen!

    Because it is written in Psalms 33:11 – It says the Counsel of the Lord stands forever.

    And it says in Proverbs 19:21 that there may be many devices in the heart of a Man but the Counsel of the Lord shall Stand.

    It doesn’t matter what any Human Being may do, what God wants to do, that is what He will do.

    I mean we have many Examples:

    1. We have the Example of Apostle Paul.

    We know how He started his Life and we know how he ended it.

    And he himself said in Galatians 1: 13-16 – He said that everybody know him: They know how he was troubling the Christians. And when the time came that the God who had already separated me to Himself from my Mother’s Womb says alright, it is time; everything Changed.

    I say it one more time that whatever anybody may try, the Plan of God for your Life will come to Past – Amen!

    … That is all for us Generally.

    Now, I want to have a little word with his Royal Majesty!

    And since it is a Rule in Yoruba Culture not to talk to a King in another Man’s Language – Arinfin ni ka ba Kabiyesi soro ni Ede Oyinbo (It is disrespectful to talk to a King in English Language)

    I’m going to ask for the Permission of those of you who don’t speak Yoruba Language to give me 5 Minutes as I want to address Kabiyesi (King).

    And since it concerns Kabiyesi (King) only; and so it is even none of your business in the first Place.

    PROVERBIAL WORDS OF ADVISE TO IMPERIAH ROYAL MAJESTY ALAYELUWA OBA GHANDI AFOLABI OLUFEMI OLADUNNI OLAOYE (THE ORUMOGEGE III, SOUN OF OGBOMOSO LAND)

    DMC NOTES: We will attempt to Interpret but kindly bear with our “Crude Interpretations”.

    Kabiyesi o, ki ade pe lori o, ki bata pe lese; Esin Oba ajoko, irukere Oba adafere (O King, may you live long on the Throne – May the Crown stay long on the head and the the shoes on the leg; the King’s Horse will sit, the Staff of Office (Signifyimg the Horse Tail African Wand) which signifies Respect, Honour and Royalty will stand) will be used for Royal Affairs).

    Ni awon odun bi melo kan si eyin – Oti pe die, ko ki soro oni (Some years back – It has been long and not a recent happening of today).

    Isele kan sile ni ilu kan ti a pe ni Ejigbo (There was something that happened in a Town called Ejigbo – DMC Notes: Ejigbo in Osun State Nigeria).

    Won kan dede ri pe, awon Oba won ko pe lori oye (They just suddenly discovered that their Kings doesn’t stay long again on the Throne).

    Ti won ba ti fi won j’oba, ti o ba to ojo melo kan; Kabiyesi ati waja (As they enthroned them to the Throne, after a while, the King would have died)

    Ere ni, awada ni; won ba fa omode kan sile (Whether by jokes or tricks; they wanted to nominate a Young Man to be King).

    Omo yi wa wo pe bawo ni ohun se fe se bayi? (This Young Man now thought that how is he going to do it like this?)

    Ti owun ba j’oba, ohun ma ku (If he decided to ascend the Throne as the King, he would die)

    Ti ohun ko ba j’oba, nitori ohun nikan lo ku ni ilana eto, a jepe idile ohun ko j’oba mo ni Ejigbo niyen (If he chooses not to ascend the Throne, because he is the only one left in his family Royal Lineage, then it simply means that his family will not have rights to be King in Ejigbo again).

    Oba lo si oko ni ojo yen ninu ibanuje gidi (He went to the farm on that day in great sorrow).

    Nibiti oti nlo, o fe kolu baba Agbalagba kan to nbo nitoripe okan re baje (As he was going, he nearly collided with an Elderly Man because he was very sad).

    Ejo o Baba, e ma binu (Please Old Man, don’t be Angry/Offended)

    Baba ba wipe: Omo Alade, kilo de? (The Elderly Man now said: Royal Prince, what is the Problem?)

    O ba salaye fun Baba pe bayi bayi ni – Ohun ni Oba kan, ohun ko si fe ku (He explained in details to the Elderly Man – I am the next in line to be enthroned as King and he is not Prepared to die).

    Baba ba ni ko nira (The Elderly Man said that is not a Problem).

    Ti o ba di ojo Iwuye re, so fun awon Onilu re pe kan ma se lu ilu bi won se lu tele (On the Day of your Coronation, tell your Drummers not to beat the drums the way they used to beat the drums before).

    Ki won lu ni ona ooto – Bayi, bayi ni ki won lu ilu ti won (They should beat their drums differently – This and this is how they should beat their drums)

    O ba di ojo Iwuye, lo ba j’oba (Finally he was made a King on the Coronation Day).

    Bi o se bo sita lati ma jo yi ilu ka (As he comes out to dance round the Town)

    Awon aje ilu yen ti won fi Oba je won ti pejo po lori igi odan ibi ti won ti se ipade; won reti ilu (The Witches and Wizards of that Town that normally enthrones a King had gathered on Igi Odan for their Meeting awaiting the sounding of the drum – “Igi Odan” is a large tree that Provides Shade, known for his doggedness, a Bristilecone Pine that has grown for thousand years)

    Ni Onilu ba fi gangan si ilu (The Drummer now put the beats to the drums)

    Nitori bi won se lu tele ni wipe: Elejigbo no ni Ejigbo, emi nikan ni mo L’ejigbo (Because what they used to beat before is: The King of Ejigbo is the owner of Ejigbo, “Only me” is the owner of Ejigbo)

    Ni igba ti won ma lu ilu, won bere si ma lulu pe: Elejigbo no ni Ejigbo, emi ati e (gbogbo wa) la ni Ejigbo (As they will beat the drums, they started drumming that: The King of Ejigbo is the owner of Ejigbo, “You and I (All of Us)” are the owner of Ejigbo)

    Awon aje ba wo are won loju – ilu eleyi yaato; tani o ko omo yi ni ogbon yi? (The Witches and Wizards look at themselves – This drum beats is different from the usual one, who taught this boy this Wisdom?)

    Gbogbo igba to yi ilu ka, won o ko orin mi ju yen lo (As he danced round the Town, they did not sing any other Song aside from that)

    Elejigbo no ni Ejigbo, emi ati e (gbogbo wa) la ni Ejigbo (The King of Ejigbo is the owner of Ejigbo, “You and I (All of Us)” are the owner of Ejigbo)

    Abo oro ni a so fun Omoluabi (Half a word is enough for the Wise)

    Let me Conclude my Sermon:

    God created you for a Purpose and His Purpose will always come to Past.

    It doesn’t matter what your Enemies may try, however the English Man will say: The one who made the Pencil also made the eraser.

    Only two (2) People can Change your Destiny – You and God Himself!

    In 1 Samuel 2:30; God said to Eli – He said that I said indeed (I didn’t sent Somebody, I said it myself) that you and your father’s house will Stand before me forever. He said but now, I Change my Mind and I do not say so anymore,

    Instead of your children being Priests, they will be Beggars.

    He said because those who Honour me I will Honour, and those who will not Honour me, I will lightly esteemed.

    God has a Great Plan for your Life but you can Change it – If you do contrary to His wish, He will Change His Mind!

    And if He says that I am Changing my Mind, you can go ahead and sue Him and then we will find out who will be your Judge and who will be your Lawyer!

    I will tell you a little Story about myself and then we will Close with Prayers!

    1951, I was a little boy in Primary School. The Anglican Bishop came to my “Little Village” in Ifewara (A Village in Osun State of Nigeria) because there was a little Anglican Church there in Ifewara.

    In those days, only two Lorries come to my Village in a Day, and with a loud noise. And only five People in the Village then have shoes and the shoes are not what you will really call shoes.

    And the Bishop came from Ibadan – He came in a car.

    For the first time in my Life, I saw a Vehicle that can move with very little Noise.

    We lined up on the road for him, the Hunters were shutting their guns, the Drummers were beating their drums.

    And when he was about to come out of the car, I looked at his shoes – Wao, Black and Shinning.

    When I got home, I told my mum that when I grow up, I will be a Bishop.

    Years Past, as soon as I left home; I also left the Church – I began to live all kinds of Naughty Life. I became as far from God as anybody can be.

    But then one day, I heard a Preacher who said: If you want God’s Purpose for your Life to be fulfilled, surrender your Life to Jesus Christ.

    One way or the other, I agreed – I gave my Life to Jesus Christ.

    Little by little, I became a Pastor; little by little, I became the General Overseer.

    And I decided to visit our “Little Churches” in Nigeria.

    And a Day came when I was to visit my hometown in Ifewara – And my People decided to give me a Hero’s Welcome.

    School children lined the road, Drummers were beating their drums while Hunters were firing “Dane Guns”.

    And when I was about to come out of my car – Incidentally, it was a New car. I looked at my legs – I was wearing Black shoes and it was Shinning.

    And I remembered what I said 30 years before – And I thank God!

    The Change in my Life came when I gave my Life to Jesus Christ!

    My Destiny that would have been truncated was restored!

    I’m not a Bishop now but I’m not too far behind.

    ALTAR CALL

    That is why I want to appeal to you – Those of you who are listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC: God has a Great Plan for your Life!

    If you want that Destiny of yours to be Fulfilled, surrender your Life to Jesus Christ today – That’s why God brought you here today!

    Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ today – It doesn’t matter how terrible your Life is up to now, if you give your Life to Him; everything will become New.

    So, Please I’m going to count from one (1) up to ten (10) – Before I say ten (10), if you want to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ so that your Destiny can be fulfilled and so that the Good Plan of God for your Life may come to Past; Please come and stand before the Altar here. And I will Pray for your Salvation.

    I’m counting now!

    Those of you who has come forward and those who are on the way, Please cry to Jesus Christ and ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to save your Souls, ask Him that He will fulfill His Purpose for your Life.

    Go ahead and talk to the Lord!

    And the rest of us who are sure of our Salvation, Please Stretch your hands towards those People and intercede for them.

    Pray that God will save their Souls, that the One who save your own Soul will save their own Souls also.

    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 Your Words, I want to Thank You for these People who has come forward.

    Father, Please receive them, save their Souls, forgive all their sins, and write their names in the Book of Life.

    And whatever may be Your Plans for their lives, bring it to Past Oh Lord.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Those of you who has come forward, I want to rejoice with you.

    I Promise you by the Grace of God that from now on, I will be Praying for you.

    So, there are some Brethrens to your right – Please follow them as they want to know your name, your Prayer Requests and they will bring you back very quickly.

    Let’s give the Lord a big round of applause.

    SPECIAL PRAYERS AND ANOINTING OF IMPERIAL ROYAL MAJESTY ALAYELUWA OBA GHANDI AFOLABI OLUFEMI OLADUNNI OLAOYE (THE ORUMOGEGE III, SOUN OF OGBOMOSO LAND)

    PRELUDE TO PRAYERS

    Finally, before I take my seat – When a son becomes a King; whether you like it or not, you must call him “Your Majesty”. But that does not Subtract from your Power to bless.

    So, as the father of the King, I want to ask the King (Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye) to kindly step forward with his wife – Its just a Word of Blessings!

    If I ask His Majesty to kneel down, I am asking him to kneel down before the King of Kings!

    1 Samuel 10:1 – Then Samuel took a vial of Oil, and Poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be Captain over His Inheritance?

    SPECIAL ANOINTING AND PRAYERS ON OBA GHANDI AFOLABI OLAOYE

    May the Almighty God bless you and may He anoint you for Success.

    During your Tenure, may the Glory of Ogbomoso Land be restored and revived.

    During your Tenure, anything called Premature Death, let it be far from Ogbomoso Land.

    May the Almighty God move you from Glory to Glory; may He built a Wall of Fire round about you and your family.

    Whenever you cry unto Him remembering today, may He answer you by Fire.

    And may you serve the Lord till the End.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!!!

    God bless you Kabiyesi (King).

    God bless you Olori (Queen).

    FINAL GENERAL PRAYERS

    Finally, those of you who are here today rejoicing with Kabiyesi (King); maybe you want to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God:

    And say: Father; very very soon, fulfill my Destiny!

    Go ahead and cry to the Almighty God!!!

    Why don’t you just go ahead and give Him Glory – Just appreciate Him and Honour Him. Appreciate the Lord that sits on the Throne forever.

    Thank You Heavenly Father. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.

    1. Without any doubt, we know that our Theme for the rest of this Particular week is the Divine Repositioning. And in this Divine Encounter, we would be examining this same Theme.

    I want to to cry to God with your own voice – I want you to cry to the God of Heaven: You are the Only One who can Reposition me – Reposition my Situation and Family; Lord, before this week is over, grant me a Divine Repositioning.

    I like you to open your Bible with me to 1 Chronicles 4:9-10:

    9 And Jabez was more honourable than his Brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.

    10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

    You are the next in line that God will grant his/her Request – Amen!

    … Let your Amen be very loud – Amen!

    This is a very familiar Story – Only two (2) Verses of the Bible, and hundreds and thousands of Sermons have been Preached from it.

    Because, there is the Story of a man that begins with the conclusion – “… And Jabez was more honourable than his Brethren.”

    When I read this Passage, I began to wonder, “why is it that the Conclusion was the first thing that came forth?”

    It might be that the Narrator was of the opinion that, “if I don’t put something beautiful in front of this name (Jabez) maybe Nobody would read his Story.”

    Why? Because his Story was very tragic – His Story began in a very Low Estate. But before he left this Earth, he has become an Icon.

    I have Good News for someone who is listening this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC; it doesn’t matter the Level you are today, your Level is Changing – Amen.

    This is the Story of someone that you can describe as – From rags to Riches; from grass to Grace; from tragic beginning to a Happy Ending; from ashes to Beauty; from mere Story to Glory!

    Somebody said, “It is only my Glory that you see, you don’t know my Story.”

    This individual (Jabez) had a Story behind his Glory – His name was not a very suitable one to bear. The Bible tells us: “and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.”

    … That name actually mean – Pain, Sorrow, Comfortless.

    A woman carried a child for nine (9) Months, and for every single day of those nine (9) Months, the only thing that occurred to her was, “what kind of a child is this? – The is a child of sorrow, he is a child of Pain.”

    Before he came forth at all,he had, had a label upon his Life.

    Every evil Label that the enemy had Placed upon your Life, we erase it today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    The Story of Jabez had been:

    • A Story that People have read for Centuries – For several years.
    • It is a Story that has encouraged a lot of hearts.
    • It is a Story that shows, “it is not how you began that matters, but how you will end.”

    … And you will end well – Amen.

    The Bible tells us here, when talking about Jabez in 2 Chronicles 4:10 – that is something very crucial this week:

    And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!

    The man (Jabez) Prayed a very Plain Prayer, and a very Powerful Prayer – A Prayer that was clear and Pointed: O LORD, what I desire from You is blessing. But not Ordinary Blessing, I want You to Bless me indeed.

    … The kind of Blessing that attracts attention.

    That is the kind of Blessing the Lord will give someone here today, or reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen.

    He said, Lord I am aware without any doubt that I will die unsung – He said, O LORD, You are the Only One who can Reposition me.

    He called on the God of Israel.

    I am sure he must have tried other options in Life; he must have received hither and thither, he must have looked up to People, he must have attempted to connect himself with those that can help.

    But everyone of them disappointed him: Until one day, when all of a sudden it occurred to him, “if God does not help me, I am done for.” And he turned to God.

    I believe that you have come here today, or reading now on the Label of DMC, because you have decided to turn to God.

    I don’t know exactly all that you have tried, I don’t know who you have tried to connect with, I don’t know those who have disappointed you; as you are Presenting yourself to the God of Israel; the God that Jabez called upon (who answered him); the God who Repositioned Jabez – that same God will surprise you today – Amen.

    This very week:

    • You must Pray until something happens.
    • You must Pray until you know: Ha! At last I have Encountered God.”
    • You must not come to the Redemption City this week (of the Holy Ghost Congress) to Play or just for Sightseeing. Just to walk around.

    No! This is one week that will determine the future you will have.

    That is the reason why, if you are Monitoring this Particular Program Online, it is in your best interest to attend the Holy Ghost Congress 2023 of “Divine Repositioning”.

    If there is anything that any Nigerian needs at this Point in time, it is a Divine Repositioning.

    I like you t turn to your Neighbour on your Right and on your Left and tell them: I know you need Divine Repositioning.

    Hallelujah!

    There are Three (3) Things I am going to look at briefly, before we are done:

    1. NAMES ARE PROPHETIC

    His name was called Jabez, his name was called pain, sorrow, comfortless. And anytime anybody hears that name, they run from him.

    That Particular name Precedes him wherever he goes.

    It is a Prophesy (Negative one) upon his Life. Because his mother had already decided, “this is what you are going to be for the rest of your Life (Jabez).”

    Several times when I think of this young man, I look at it: assuming that he was able to go to School, there is no way he would have completed Schooling because when they should ask of his name and he says ‘Jabez’; even the Teachers would have resisted him.

    The Teacher would not want someone with that name to remain in his/her class. Not to talk of the students.

    So, he would have grown up without the appropriate Education to meet his Needs in Life.

    He would have grown up without friends, without companions – Everybody would avoided his Presence.

    Rejection was a way of Life for him.

    I don’t know what has happened in your Life and you have been rejected; that Particular Spirit of Rejection is leaving you today – Amen.

    … Let your Amen be louder – Amen!

    Many People are down today because of Rejection.

    Many of us have written ourselves off, because of Rejection.

    Talk of someone who knew Rejection; someone that Rejection was written upon his face clearly; yet he made it!

    The Life of Jabez is a Message to everyone who is facing Rejection.

    It doesn’t matter who has rejected you or where you have been rejected; you can still reach the Top – Amen.

    Tell your neighbour: I will reach the Top – Amen!

    … Names are Prophetic!

    So, when you look at the name of someone like Moses, you would know that names are Prophetic.

    According to Exodus 2:10, the Bible says: And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

    And all the days of his Life, Moses had to deal with being “drawn out of the water.”

    I. River Nile could have drown him, but he was drawn out of it.

    II. Red Sea could have drown him, but God drew him out of it.

    III. When there was no water, the People wanted to stone him. But God drew him out by bringing water out of the Rock.

    IV. When the enemy contended for his body and said, “you cannot make it to Heaven.” God stood up for him and drew him out of that difficulty.

    Whatever it is that you are confronting today, God will draw you out – Amen.

    Names are Prophetic!

    I don’t know what your name has brought into your Life; I don’t know the kind of envy, jealousy, hatred, opposition and resistance that your name has brought into your Life; I don’t know the kind of barriers that your name has created for you but because you are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, the God of Divine Repositioning shall Reposition you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    1. NAMES BRING PERSPECTIVES

    I also discovered from the Word of God that names bring certain Perspectives into our lives – How People will relate with us.

    The moment they hear your name, they have a face idea of who you are and how they will relate with you.

    That is why anytime we talk about Bartimaeus, we Picture him as that blind man by the roadside who will die a beggar.

    Even after his eyes have been opened, People still refer to him as Blind Bartimaeus – Perspective!

    I don’t know what kind of Perspective your name has introduced to your Life; whatever Negative Perspective that your name has introduced, today whether the world likes it or not, they will Change their Perspectives – Amen.

    1. NAMES ESTABLISH PROTOCOLS

    Name also establishes Protocol upon your Life – whether you would be Classified with the Best or you would be categorised with the rest: your name will determine.

    You know very well, the moment Mordecai was lifted up, his situation Changed.

    It was just like every other day; Mordecai was confronting death. There was a very Powerful individual who had decided to end the Life of Mordecai.

    And may I tell you – The only One who is Powerful is the Almighty God. And it doesn’t matter what those ‘Powerful’ People have determined to do with your Life, they will be disappointed – Amen.

    This Particular Testimony I am about to tell you is a very frightening one:

    I was visiting one of our Churches when I was in Plateau State (Northern Nigeria). The Church was far away from Jos and we must have travelled for about two (2) hours Plus.

    When I got there, I discovered that these People are doing a fantastic job. I told them, by now you should be on your Permanent Site: why are you not on your Permanent Site?

    They said, we have a Permanent Site but someone who is Powerful in this Town has been resisting us. And he has said that we are not going to build a Church on that Particular Place. But we are going to move there very soon.

    They said, that man said as long as he is alive, we cannot build a Church there.

    And the God of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) wanted to show him who is Powerful.

    One day he was returning to his house – Just few meters to that Particular Land, his Vehicle began to somersault. And it somersaulted until it landed on that Land and he died there.

    The only One who is Powerful is my God – That is the God that Jabez turned to.

    The Bible says he called upon the God of Israel – He had realised, that Power belongs to God.

    And when he called on the One who Possesses all Power, that God responded, and Translated him; Repositioned him – Took him from the very Low and took him to the very High.

    For someone who is listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC; that same God is here. And where you are today will be the Least Place you will ever be – Amen.

    Don’t let me forget the Story of Mordecai – Haman had already concluded: As far as Haman is concerned, “Mordecai, you are finished!” He had even put up a gallow upon which he will hand Mordecai.

    He woke up that day to go to the King and ask him to grant him the Permission to hang Mordecai because he (Haman) was already famous, and very Powerful. He was the Second in Command in the kingdom and whatever he wanted he could get it done.

    … He had forgotten that Power belongs to God!

    And on that day (Overnight); the King could not sleep.

    You see, when it comes to the issue of Divine Repositioning, whatever God has to do to ensure that you are Repositioned, He will do it – Amen!

    Throughout the Night, the King couldn’t sleep. He said, Okay! Bring me the Book of Records (Esther 6).

    The Bible said, they were reading it and it got to the Point when they read about a kind of coup that would have taken Place and that could have taken the Life of the King.

    And they mentioned that the man who didn’t allow that to happen was called Mordecai.

    And the King asked, “what have we done for Mordecai?” They said, Nothing!

    On the day of your Reward and Repositioning, the Person who will cause your Repositioning will not be able to sleep – Amen.

    Then all of a sudden the King asked, “who is there in the Court?” – He knew there must be one of his Counsellors around. And it happened that Haman, his Second in Command just arrived in the Palace.

    He said, Oh! Very Good: he is the one we really need at this Point (even though he didn’t know the Plans of Haman).

    So Haman came in, he greeted the King. And the King said, “what do you think we should do for the man that the King is Pleased with?”

    And then Haman wrote a Recommendation:

    You can imagine that God has a sense of humor – Using your Adversary to write your Recommendation.

    He wrote a Powerful Recommendation because he thought he was the one.

    He wrote the kind of Recommendation you would Present anywhere and Nobody would resist you.

    And the King said, “go ahead and do exactly all you have said for Mordecai.”

    Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    From that moment onwards, the name of Mordecai Changed – His name established Protocol for him.

    He wasn’t just ‘that Gateman’ again; he is now Classified as one of the Topmost People in the Kingdom.

    And before that day was over, Haman had become something else – He got home, his wife said, “if you have started to fall before Mordecai the Jew, you will eventually fall completely.”

    Everyone who has been resisting you from January till now; who has said there is no way for you – I decree upon your Life, they shall all become History – Amen.

    Let your Amen be louder – Amen!

    So you must always remember:

    • Your Name can be Prophetic.
    • Your Name can bring Perspective.
    • Your Name can Establish Protocol.

    If your Name has not been a Good Prophecy, what do you do?

    You can go to the One who can Change Bad Prophecies to Good ones; the One who can Prophesy Good Things to your Life.

    The One that Jabez ran to, because he knew: “You are the One who sent me to the world – My mother was just a means of transportation; You are the One who sent me here.

    If the fellow that You sent me to has given me a bad name, You are the Only One who can Change it – Please, Change this Prophecy O LORD.”

    He cried to the God of Israel – I don’t know how many hours, how many days, weeks or months but he kept seeking God until he found Him.

    If you seek Him, you will find Him.

    You must always remember that names can bring Perspectives:

    Several times when you move around and People begin to say one thing or the other about you, it is because of the Perspective they have had – They have posted you to a certain Place.

    Even the People who have never worked with you begin to have wrong impression about you because they have heard Stories (Negative Perspectives).

    The People you have not offended, they begin to pick offences, because of Perspectives – Because some People have already spread all kinds of lies and deformation about you.

    I have Good News for you: you don’t need to lose your Sleep about that – Because in the Presence of those who have given Negative Perspectives concerning you, the Lord will Elevate you – Amen.

    You must not forget that name can Establish Protocol:

    Maybe you have been at the backend all these while – All your Life you have been always towards the back. But as you begin to Pray today and you Pray throughout this Particular week; before this week is over you will suddenly discover that you have moved several steps above – Amen!

    … So shall it be for you – Amen.

    As God helped Mordecai, Moses, Esther and several other People in the Word of God; because He remains the same Yesterday, Today and for ever, that same God will also.help you – Amen.

    But the Key remains one thing – “Jabez called on the God of Israel”.

    You have heard several Testimonies of what God can do on this Particular Camp Ground – Time and Time again, People have come out to Testify of what God has done here.

    You have heard the Testimony of a woman that the Doctors have told, “just go to your Country and die”. And the woman said, “take me back to Nigeria, to the Redemption Camp”.

    They told the woman, “Mama, there is no Service today.” She said: I am not going for Service, I am not looking for any Pastor. I am going to the God of that Particular Land.

    She came and held on to the Pillar of this Auditorium and immediately, Strength came upon her.

    It doesn’t matter the Negative situation you have brought today, or as you are reading now on the Label of DMC:; the Almighty God will Change the Story – Amen.

    But you must be Prepared to Pray, and to Pray through. Because anybody who wants the kind of blessing that Jabez was asking for cannot Pray “Casual Prayers”.

    He said, O LORD: I want You to bless me – But not Ordinary Blessing, bless me Indeed!”

    He Prayed until his Prayer drew attention.

    He cried until the God of Heaven answered him.

    Bartimaeus did not stop crying despite the Multitude were against him but he cried until Jesus stopped.

    Your cry must arrest the attention of Heaven today.

    As we shall be going to the Place of Prayer, you need to understand one very important fact:

    You need to understand that everything is about God.

    Jabez called on the God of Israel.

    He is the One you have come to meet today – That is the reason why before He can Reposition you, you must willingly Surrender your Life to Him.

    You have been going helter skelter, going from one Place to the other, seeking for Solution.

    But you are not seeking for the Solution Provider. Your Solution is a Person – His Name is Jesus Christ.

    When you willingly Surrender to Him today, it does not cost Him Minutes before He lifts you up.

    Shall we rise on our feet everybody?

    GENERAL PRAYERS

    1. And I want you to begin to give Glory to God, that He has brought you here today.

    For what He is about to do in your Life at this time; I want you to begin to give Glory to God.

    That beginning from now, they will follow after You all the days of their lives.

    They will be Your Children – Your sons and daughters, in the Name of Jesus.

    Thank You Heavenly Father. Blessed be Your Name.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.

    Congratulations!

    BIBLE TEXT: JOSHUA 7:1

    Let Us Pray!

    SONG

    Oh Glory, Glory, Glory to the Lord
    Oh Glory, Glory, Glory to the Lord
    Hallelujah

    OPENING PRAYER

    King of Kings and Lord of Lords; we give You all Glory, all Honour and all Adoration for Your Goodness, for Your Mercy, for Your Support, for Your Supplies, for Your Defence and for everything that You have been to us.

    Father, Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

    Today, as we gather again to Worship You, We Pray that Your Glory will Shine forth, that Your Honour will be released upon our lives, that we will really have cause to Glorify Your Name again.

    Thank You Almighty God.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

    Well, you can shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God will bless you Mightily today – Amen!

    And then, you may Pleasee be seated.

    As we move on to Part 32 of our Series: For Whom The Heavens Open – “For Whom The Heavens Open – Part 32”.

    And we will move into Joshua Chapter 7 – What we should have done is to have read the whole Chapter because it is one Continuous Story but Verse 1 alone is enough for us to chew on today – Joshua 7:1.

    Joshua 7:1 – But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the Tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel

    Probably the first thing that you will noticed here is that when you sin against God, they will mention the name of your father, the name of your Grandfather and the name of your Great Grandfather.

    When you do wrong, you bring blemish on your Heritage!

    Here we have Achan the son of Carmi (That’s his father), the son of Zabdi (That’s his Grandfather), the son of Zerah (That’s his Great Grandfather). They even mentioned his Tribe – The Tribe of Judah.

    That is why we have to be very careful as Christians because whatever we do, will affect Generations Past and some Generations even yet unborn – That’s Important!

    But even more Significant is the fact that it was Achan alone that sinned but here the Story says that it is the children of Israel that committed the trespass!

    … Just one Fellow sinned and a whole Natiom is accursed.

    Infact when you go further, it says that: And the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.

    I thought that it could have been that the anger of the Lord was kindled against Achan.

    And so, we will love to spend some time today looking at: “The Power of the Individual”.

    And this should interest you because you are an Individual.

    The Action of an Individual can have tremendous consequences – Either for Good or for Evil.

    1. Infact Romans 5: 12-17 tells us it is by one man’s sin that Death came to the world .

    … One man sinned in the Garden of Eden and Death came to the world.

    1. As we go through the Scriptures, you will discovered in Genesis 18: 17-33 that it is one man’s Intercession (Abraham) that brought Deliverance to the family of Lot.

    He was the one who stood before God and began to intercede for a family of a Relation.

    1. On the other hand, by the time you get to 2 Kings 5: 20-27; it was Gehazi who sinned when he lied against the Man of God to collect Money from Naaman.

    But when the Prophet of God was going to Place a Curse on him, he said that the Leprosy of Naaman will cleave unto you and unto they Seeds forever.

    Science today is just discovering the link between certain Sickness and Diseases and the Genes in the family.

    You know in the Olden Days when People do not marry on the Internet – When Somebody goes to a family and says I want to marry your daughter. They will tell the Fellow, okay you can go and come back.

    After he has gone, they will go and do a thorough Search on the family line – They want to know: Had there been a Leper in the family before? Has there been a case of Madness in the family before? Et cetera et cetera.

    Why? Because if there had been a Leper in the family before, they know that sooner or later, another Leper is coming in that family line – It will flow in the Blood.

    In the family of Gehazi, there will always be a Leper because the Man of God said that the Leprosy of Naaman will cleave on you and on your family forever.

    Which explains why you that has not given your Life to Jesus Christ should even think about it seriously now because one thing that Salvation does for you is that it Changes your family line.

    The moment you are Born Again, you are moved to the family of God!

    And that is why if there is any Generational Disease flowing down the line from your Great Grandfather; the moment you becomes a Child of the Living God, the flow will now jump over you!

    1. In Daniel 2: 1-end – Daniel alone brought rescue to all the Wise Men in the Land.

    When a King had a Dream, forgot the Dream and told the People to gather all the Wise Men together – Tell me my Dream which I have forgotten and tell me the Interpretations. Or else, I will kill you all.

    But Daniel sought the face of the Lord – God revealed to him the Dream and the Interpretations thereof and all the Wise Men were saved.

    1. In Acts 27: 1-end – You will discovered that Paul the Apostle was in a boat with several other People who are Prisoners and there was a very terrible Storm. The Storm was so bad that for two weeks, they couldn’t even see the Sun and then they thought that destructions had come.

    But when the Angel of the Lord came to visit Paul one night, he told him that you are not going to die and because of you; all those who are with you in the boat will be saved.

    … One Man brought Salvation to all those who are travelling with him!

    1. On the other hand, if you read John 1: 1-15 – The Bible tells us that God send Jonah on an errand. He said No, I won’t go and decided to go in the opposite Direction and he took a Ship. And because of him, a Mighty Storm came.

    The People in the Ship were wondering why is this Storm so violent?

    And while they were busy Praying, rolling hard, doing whatever they could; the Troublemaker was Sleeping.

    When they woke him up, he said that I know why you are in the Storm – I’m the Problem Causer.

    He told them the Solution – Throw me out of the Ship and your Problems will be over. They tried not to, but the Storm increased.

    Finally, they picked him up, threw him out of the Ship and immediately all became calm.

    Maybe one of the Prayers that you need to Pray today is that – If there is Someone in my family who is responsible for all the Problems you are having; that God will reveal the Fellow to you so that something can done about it.

    1. When you read 1 Samuel 25: 1-35 – David sent a Message to a Man called Nabal; asking for food – Tell him that me and my men has been taking care of your flocks and we have not allowed anything to happen to them. Now, we need some food.

    And the Man (Nabal) said: My food for you? I don’t know you! Get away from here.

    David heard and said: Alright, let us go and deal with them.

    But the wife of the Man heard and said: Ha, danger is on the way. Quickly, she got up, got some food and came to meet David on the way and begged David to just Please forgive for her sake.

    You know the rest of the Story – David told her that for the fact that you came, there would have been Nobody left in your family by tomorrow.

    … A Woman came and rescued her family – Action of one Individual!

    DMC NOTES: The name of the woman in question (Nabal’s wife) is “ABIGAIL”.

    1. And of course, when you read Acts 8: 5-8.

    You will discovered that the Bible said that Philip went to the City of Samaria, conducted a Crusade there and brought “Great Joy” to the City.

    … I can go on and on and give you Examples upon Examples.

    1. Like in the case of David I 1 Samuel 17: 1-51.

    For forty (40) days, Goliath terrorised a Nation. An Individual came on the scene and ended Terrorism for the Nation.

    1. And if you read Genesis 50: 15-20; you will see how God used Joseph to rescue the world of those days from what could have been Total Calamity.

    You want to say – What are the Applications of all these things because we can continue by even mentioning Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ who brought the Saviour of the world into the world and so on and so forth.

    1. You can be a One-Man Army for the Lord.

    When you read Ezekiel 22: 29-31; God said that when I look at the Land and I see bloodshed and I see the sin and I see all the horrible things that they are doing. I sought for a Man who will Stand in the Gap before me for the Nation so that I won’t destroy the Nation.

    He said that but I found None.

    • Could it be that God is looking for a Man to Stand in the Gap for your Nation?
    • Could it be that God looked down from Heaven, sees all the atrocities going on in your Nation – The Killings, the Robberies, the Kidnappings; and He is looking for a Man/ an Individual?

    In Isaiah 6:8; the Almighty God cried out and say: Who will I send? Who will go for me?

    And Isaiah answered and said: Here I am, send me!

    If God is asking today: Who will help? Who will intercede for the Nation? Who will be my Messenger?

    Will your answer be: Here I am Lord, send me?

    1. Don’t stop until every Members of your family is Born Again.

    Why? Because one Sinner in the family can bring destruction to the entire family.

    In Ecclesiastes 7:18; the Bible says: Wisdom is better Weapons of War but one Sinner destroys much Good.

    If all of you are doing the Will of God and you are having a wonderful time and then there is one Individual in the family who is an Agent of the Devil, who can be used by the enemy; that Single Fellow can introduce Poison into the entire family!

    1. And then, consider the fact that it is written – One will chase a thousand but two will put ten thousand to flight.

    That tells us that if you are a Good Christian, Powerful, a Great Prayer Warrior – If you can find just one Individual added to you; then the effect of your “Combined Prayers” will be ten-folds.

    If you can find one Individual who believes like you believed, who can Pray like you can Pray and the two of you team up; suddenly the effects of your Prayers will be Multuplied ten-folds.

    Remember that it is written that if two of you shall agree concerning anything you ask on Earth; it will be done for you by Your Father in Heaven.

    1. And of course, there is this Passage in the Bible that says: Let all the People Praise You Oh Lord, then God even our God will bless us.

    Do you know the meaning of that?

    If you are in a Congregation and maybe there are like a thousand and everybody is Praising God except one Fellow; the Blessings for the Congregation can be withheld!

    Because the Bible says: Let All – And as far as God is concerned, all means all without exception.

    So, you could imagine how many Blessings People have lost simply because there is one Individual in the Congregation who is not joining in the Praising of the Lord!

    Let me begin to round up – And I have a word for those of you who are Sinners and who says: I can stop the Blessings of the family.

    There is something called “The Law of Substitution”.

    Proverbs 11:8 says that the Righteous is delivered out of trouble and the Wicked goes in its stead.

    Do you know what that means?

    If danger is about to grab Someone who is a Child of God, the Almighty God can apply the Law of Substitution – Rescue the one who is His Child and use you the Sinner as a Substitute.

    I’m sure that you Probably heard the Story of Daniel in Daniel Chapter 6.

    He was thrown into the Den of Lions. The Lions saw food coming and thought this is food for us and God says No, don’t eat this one as he is my Child. But wait, by tomorrow you will be fed.

    The following day, Daniel was taken out of the Den of Lions alive and all those who conspired against him were fed by the Lions.

    I don’t have time to tell you Stories but I can give you illustrations of People who are Children of God, who are snatched from the Jaws of Death and a Sinner in the family became a Substitute

    ALTAR CALL

    So, if you are listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Remember that God says in Revelation 3:20 that behold I Stand by the Door and I Knock; if any Man hears my Voice and will open the Door to me, I will come in to him and then we will dine together.

    God is speaking to you as an Individual – He is knocking at the Door of your Heart. Please open the Door to Him before He begins to apply the Law of Substitution over you.

    If you will bow down your Head now, call on God to save your Soul; I will join you in Prayers. The Almighty will save your Soul and you will become one of the Righteous Children of God and you will enjoy Divine Security from now on.

    Let Us Pray!

    PPRAYERS FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

    My Father and my God, I want to Thank You very much much for Your Words.

    Thank You for revealing to us once again the Power of an Individual and Thank You because You are willing to save the Souls of Individuals who has decided to come to You today,

    Father, Please receive them, have Mercy on them, wash away their sins Lord and as You are saving their Souls today; transfer them into the Family of God.

    So any Generational Problems in their family, I Pray that from now on, they won’t be Partakers.

    And I Pray that from this moment onwards, anytime they will call on You, You will answer them by Fire and that they will serve You till the End.

    And I Pray Lord God Almighty, for all the family who are already saved, that by Your Special Grace, they will now arise for the Salvation of every other Souls in their family so that very soon, there will be no Sinners left in all our families.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

    Now, I rejoice with those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ. I want to Promise you that from now on, I will be Praying for you.

    So, I will advice you to go quickly to any Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) near you – Tell the Pastor that you have just gotten Born Again and he will tell you what to do next.

    God Bless You!

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!

    SACRIFICE OF PRAISE – PART 4: PASTOR (DR) MENSA OTABIL – SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 2023.

    SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE WITH PASTOR (DR) MENSA OTABIL (GENERAL OVERSEER, INTERNATIONAL CENTRAL GOSPEL CHURCH (ICGC) CHRIST TEMPLE, ACCRA GHANA)

    TOPIC: SACRIFICE OF PRAISE – PART 4 (WORTHY)

    DATE: 19TH NOVEMBER 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: REVELATION 4: 9-11; REVELATION 5: 8-10 AND REVELATION 5: 11-14

    Let us rise up together as we make our “DECLARATION OF GATHERING” in this “YEAR OF GATHERING”.

    Are you ready? Say with me:

    I Proclaim Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. The Lord is the Shepherd of my Soul, my Shelter by Day, my Light by Night.

    In His Name, we Plough our fields, by His Spirit we gather the Harvest, in His Light we seek and find.

    In this Year of Gathering, the Lord of the Harvest has commanded: Launch Out into the Deep. At His Words, we cast our Nets, we gather in Souls and Substance for God’s Kingdom.

    The Lord is our Reward; in this Season I received God’s Portion set aside for me: Full Measure, Pressed down, Shaking together and running over.

    Nothing is Lost and Nothing is wasted in Jesus Name – Amen!

    I will continue my Series on Sacrifice of Praise and this is Part 4. And I will focusing on “Worthy” as the Subtitle of our discussion today!

    Last week (Part 3), we looked at the Book of Revelation Chapter 4:

    I. We noted that Worship is focused on God and His Throne. And so as we Worship the Lord, we must be Mindful of God and His Throne.

    II. Worship is not to give us a benefit or Pleasure but focused on the Lord and what He does for us.

    And this Week (Part 4), we still continue from the Book of Revelation – And we will do a bit of Chapter 4 and then a bit of Chapter 5.

    And then, we will be looking at three (3) different Worship Scenes in the Book of Revelation!

    1. So, Revelation 4: 9-11 – And it reads:

    9 Whenever the Living Creatures give Glory and Honour and Thanks to Him who sits on the Throne, who lives forever and ever,

    1. The twenty-four Elders fall down before Him who sits on the Throne and Worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their Crowns before the Throne, saying:

    11 “You are Worthy, O Lord, To receive Glory and Honour and Power;
    For You created all things, And by Your Will they exist and were created.”

    The Key word that we want to Pay attention to in this Passage is “Worthy” – Worthy is the word at the base of Worship!

    For us to really Worship God, we have to understand what it means when we say that something or someone is Worthy because Worship is the appreciation of Worth.

    In Heaven, you see that there is a certain focus on the Worthiness of the Person who is being Worshipped.

    So, what does it mean when we use the word “Worthy”?

    I. It means to have Weight and Worth.

    It means that the Person or the Thing is not Light or it is not Frivolous. It is something that is Weighty, something that has “Real Inner Value” and something that has a lot of Worth.

    It means that it has Value in itself.

    And of course, when we address it to God, it means that God has Value in Himself – We are not the one giving Him the Value as He already has it..

    II. Worthy means to achieve something Notable – What you achieve gives you Worth.

    There is a Worth that is Inner and there is a Worth that is based on Achievement.

    III. Then when we use the word Worthy, we say that something is Deserving of Recognition.

    A thing or something that is Worthy must be treated as Worthy – We can’t take a Worthy thing and treat it as Common.

    So, that is why when you have a Great Guest in your house, no matter how Poor and disadvantaged you are; when somebody that you think is Worthy comes to your home, you will not Ordinarily serve such with a thing that are common in the house.

    So, if there is a Drinking Glass that everybody commonly uses, if somebody Great comes to your home, you try to go deeper to bring out something that is not common.

    Why? Because you think that the Person is Worthy – And a Worthy Person must be Worthily Recognised.

    And so, when we say that God for example is Worthy, then it also means that the Recognition that we give Him must be an Expression of the Worth that we Placed on Him.

    • If you Place a High Worth on God, it means that you have a Big Worth for Him.
    • If you Place a Low Worth on Him, it simply means that you don’t have a Great Appreciation for who He is.

    When something is Worthy, we recognised it according to the Merit of its Worthiness!

    • Whether it is the way you treat a Special Guest.
    • The way you treat an item.

    There are items in our homes that are open for everybody to see and there are items in our homes that we hide/keep because we think that it is Worthy and Nobody must take it away from us.

    So, when something is Worthy, we recognised it as such!

    And then, we have to apply all these Concepts to Worshipping God and giving Him the Worth.

    So, we are going to look at the ways in which this Worship takes Place in Revelation Chapter 4 – What do they say that God is Worthy of?

    If you read the Passage, it says in Revelation 4:11 – For You are Worthy O Lord to receive Glory and Honour and Power.

    Why? Because You created all things and by Your Will, they exist and were Created.

    Now, they are telling us why they think that God is Worthy – “God is Worthy as a Creator”.

    I want you to Place close attention to this because later on; we will see another Expression of Worship and the focus will be a little bit different from this one.

    We Worship God because all things exists because of Him.

    If He had not made us, we won’t have even been here thinking about whether we should Worship Him or not.

    All things exists because of Him – The Universe exists because of Him, Creation exists because of Him and He is a Worthy Creator.

    God created all things for His Pleasures – Things exists not because of Him and there is Nothing bigger in Creation than God because He created all things.

    And that simply tells you that you cannot Worship God beyond measures – You can’t Over-worship God.

    There is no Worship that we give to God that is “Too Much”.

    Now, there are things that you can do to People that is “Too Much” – If I come to your house and you serve me right with Good Utensils. That is fine as you are saying my Pastor is Worthy,

    But if after that, you start rolling on the floor – From one end of the room to the other; and you are jumping and singing your Pastor’s Praises and all of that,

    Now, you are giving your Pastor something beyond – You are going overboard in your Worship.

    So, People will come to you and say: Are you Mad? He is just a man. Why are you rolling before him?

    However, when it comes to God, there is no Worship that is beyond God – There is Nothing that we can give to God that is beyond Him, that we can say as for this, you are doing it “Too Much”.

    There is no “Too Much” Worship when it comes to God. Why? Because He made all things and all things exist because of Him.

    And so, for you to give something that is beyond God, then you have to get something that is beyond God to do something beyond God.

    So, there is no Worship beyond God:

    • You can roll on the floor for Him.
    • You can jump to the Highest for Him.
    • You can sing to Him.
    • You can sell all your Belongings and give them to Him.
    • You can actually Sacrifice yourself for Him.

    And none of them will be beyond!

    I. You can decide that in my own way of Worshipping God, I will climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

    And when I get there, I will say: Hallelujah.

    … That won’t be “Too Much for my God”.

    DMC NOTES: Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant Volcano located in Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. It has three Volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. It is the highest Mountain in Africa and the Highest Single Free-Standing Mountain above sea level in the world: 5,895 m (19,341 ft) above sea level and about 4,900 m (16,100 ft) above its Plateau base. It is the Highest Volcano in Africa and the Eastern Hemisphere.

    II. Or I will go to Mount Everest.

    And when I get there, I will say: Hallelujah.

    … That won’t be “Too Much for my God”.

    DMC NOTES: Mount Everest is Earth’s Highest Mountain above Sea Level, located in the Mahalangur Himal Sub-Range of the Himalayas. The China–Nepal border runs across its Summit Point. Its Elevation (Snow Height) of 8,848.86 m (29,031 ft 8+1⁄2 in) was most recently established in 2020 by the Chinese and Nepali Authorities.

    III. Or I will go to the Moon.

    And when I get there, I will say: Hallelujah.

    … That won’t be “Too Much for my God”.

    … You can go the fartest Part of Creation and shout Hallelujah and it will still not be beyond God because there is no way to Worship God beyond Himself.

    That is what they are saying: You are Worthy because You created all things and all things exist because of You!

    And not only do You create all things; You Sustained all things – You hold all things!

    … He doesn’t just create, He Sustains.

    The Worshipper himself/herself belongs to God!

    So what all the four Living Creatures and twenty four Elders are saying is that:

    • We are Worshippping You because You created us in the first Place and so what should we do?
    • And we are Worshippping You because You are the One who has kept us up to this time.

    And so for that reason, we Worship You!

    We exist because of You and we are Sustained by You – And so, we are Worshippping You because You are our Creator!

    1. There is another Scene that we will look at – And this Worship takes Place after the Lamb of God had broken the Seal to open a New Phase of God’s Revelation.

    That is in Revelation 5: 8-10:

    8 Now when He had taken the Scroll, the four Living Creatures and the twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the Prayers of the Saints.

    9 And they sang a New Song, saying: “You are Worthy to take the Scroll,
    And to open its seals;
    For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every Tribe and tongue and People and Nation,

    10 And have made us Kings and Priests to our God; And we shall reign on the Earth.

    So the Passage is saying that they sang a New Song.

    And why is it saying that they sang a New Song?

    Because what they are about to express is different from what the four Living Creatures and twenty four Elders expressed.

    But now, there is a New Song coming – And if you pay attention to the Scriptures, it says that the four Living Creatures are still there and the twenty four Elders are still there but there is something else that is included in this Worship.

    It says that they are carrying a bowl of Incense and that bowl of Incense represents the Prayers of the Saints.

    In other words, in addition to the four and twenty Elders and the four Living Creatures now, there is a New Witness in this Worship – And that is Born Again Believers who has also offered Praise to God.

    The Bible calls them – Their Prayers!

    So, there is a New Category adding to this Praise and that is why the Song Changes.

    Because this New Category has an Experience that the four and twenty Elders don’t have and the four Living Creatures don’t have.

    And so the Song has Changed because the Quality of the Worshippers has also Changed!

    So, what are they Worshipping?

    They are Worshippping and they are saying: Christ is Worthy as our Redeemer – Not just the Creator but Redeemer.

    … That is a different Experience.

    The Living Creatures has not been Redeemed; the twenty four Elders, if they represent the Church; they understood their Redemption.

    But more than anything, the Prayers of the Saints – Born Again Believers, who has been Redeemed, who has now joined in this Chorus and so give it a totally New flaws.

    You are Worthy as a Redeemer because You have Redeemed us!

    And I want you to look at the four (4) things that they said in their Worship:

    I. They said that You are Worthy because You are Slained for us – You died for us!

    The Language demonstrates the “Brutal Christ” – The Price Paid for our Redemption.

    … He was Slained for us, He was killed for us.

    So they say, that’s why we are Worshippping You.

    II. Because You Redeemed us – Freed us from Bondage and You restored us back to God without injury.

    III. And they shifted the reason – Not only to what You have done for us but how You made us: You have made us Kings and Priests unto God.

    IV. And You have made us Rulers over the Earth.

    This is Profound – The Bible calls it a New Song because a New Experience (Those who has been Redeemed) has joined in this Chorus; those who has been Born Again has joined in this Chorus and they can sing a Song that the four Living Creatures cannot sing because they don’t fully understand Salvation and Redemption because they never fell to be Redeemed.

    But these guys fell and they have to be Redeemed – They joined their voices to the voice of the Elders and the Bible calls it a New Song.

    Normally, you sing a New Song to the Lord when you have a New Experience of the Lord!

    If you know Him only in one way, your Song will only be in that way; but when you see a New Dimension of God, then you sing a New Song to Him – To reflect that New Dimension that you have encountered of God!

    1. There is something I also want you to Pay attention to in this Worship – I consider it as the Purest form of Worship because this is in Heaven (Not David Worship, or Solomon Worship but Heavenly Worship).

    So, if you really want to understand Worship, this is what you have to follow because this the Purest form of Worship.

    And if you look at the Worship – It focus on two (2) things and two (2) things only: God as our Creator, Christ as our Redeemer!

    Why do we Worship?

    • Because God is our Creator
    • And Christ is our Redeemer.

    Why is that important?

    You see many times, you Worship God for benefits that we have received from Him – And it is Good to do that.

    I. We Thank God when you know People get married and so we sing:

    See what the Lord has done
    See what the Lord has done
    What we’ve waited for, has come to pass
    See what the Lord has done.

    II. Or a couple has been waiting to have a Child for so long and then the child came.

    They burst out and say:

    See what the Lord has done
    See what the Lord has done
    What we’ve waited for, has come to pass
    See what the Lord has done

    III. Or you have been waiting for America Visa for so long and it came finally:

    See what the Lord has done
    See what the Lord has done
    What we’ve waited for, has come to pass
    See what the Lord has done

    Now, all these Worship is based on what God has done for us Materially to make our lives better here on Earth.

    Whether we get a Promotion, God gave you money or we are able to Graduate – They are all causes for Praise but none of it is represented in this Worship.

    The Foundation of all Worship is because God is our Creator and Christ our Redeemer.

    Why is that important?

    You know sometimes People come to Church and say I have Nothing to Worship God about – My Life is hard for me, this Year has been a tough year (Maybe my shop got burnt and this happened, my Marriage broke up etc). We all have terrible experiences.

    And sometimes when we haven’t received anything from God in a Year/Month/Day, we think that there is no reason to Worship because God hasn’t done anything for us.

    There are People sitting in Church today or reading now on the Label of DMC – You came to Church dull because maybe this Week, you have been suffering.

    Pure Worship is not based on the Miracle you received – It is not based on whether you failed or Pass your exams; whether you are Divorced or Marriage not working; Married or not Married. That is not the basis of Worship!

    Of course, when God does Great Things for us, we must come and Worship Him.

    But until we grasp that our Worship is only based on two (2) things – God is our Creator and Christ is our Redeemer; then we cannot offer “Real Worship” unto the Lord because your Mood, your Experience will always Colour your Worship!

    But when we come to God to Worship, two (2) things we must remember – He makes us and He Redeemed us.

    So, I don’t know what your Experience has been this Week:

    I. Maybe this has been one of those weeks where you are like Job said: I wish this Day had never happened – The Day at which I was born.

    II. Maybe some of you looking at me and saying: I wish the 2nd Week of November 2023 had never happened and I wish it will be erased from the Earth’s History,

    But He is still your Creator and He is still your Redeemer!

    III. Maybe you lost your job this Past Week.

    But do you lose your Creator? You didn’t lose your Redemption!

    So, when we come before God, we understand what we have lost, we understand what has gone wrong but our focus is only on these two (2) things – God is our Creator, Christ is our Redeemer and that is the basis of Worship!

    That means we must take time to appreciate God as our Creator.

    And sometimes we take it for granted – Just like we take so many things for granted and we don’t even Value the Life that we have.

    Well, if you are not alive, you won’t have even experienced things.

    If you are not alive, you won’t have lost Property.

    So being alive is far more worthy than the experience that comes because you are alive.

    I am Alive, God created me, God is my Creator – I Worship Him because He made me.

    Life is hard but I’m Born Again, I’m Redeemed, I’m washed by the Blood of the Lamb, I’m a Child of God – So, I Worship the Lord.

    Is the Experience the best? Not exactly!

    Is God still your Creator? Yes sir!

    Is Christ still the Redeemer? Yes sir!

    Do you have all the basis for Worship? Yes sir!

    You don’t have a Visa but you have a Creator and a Redeemer.

    And that is why we Worship God and that is what Heaven is teaching us – Don’t let the Earthly Experience keep you away from my Heavenly Reality.

    Your Earthly Experience should not keep you away as the way God wants you to Experience.

    Listen, your Experience on Earth may be up and down – There is no Constant on Earth but there is a Constant with God. He is our God, our Creator and Christ is our Redeemer.

    The Final thing we will look at is in Revelation 5: 11-14:

    11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many Angels around the Throne, the Living Creatures, and the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

    12 Saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. To receive Power and Riches and Wisdom,
    And Strength and Honour and Glory and Blessing!”

    13 And every Creatures
    which is in Heaven and on the Earth and under the Earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
    “Blessing and Honour and Glory and Power. Be to Him who sits on the Throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

    14 Then the four Living Creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four Elders fell down and Worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.

    Now, if you look at the Progression of the Worship – Its like it starts with the small Group: Four Livinng Creatures, the twenty four Elders now joined by the Prayers of the Saints and then the third Scene; everything joining in including Creatures from the Sea and Creatures from the Earth. It means everything.

    I don’t know what the Bible means by everything there – Whether everything like the cat, dog, cow and everybody is saying: Blessing and Honour and Glory and Power and Wisdom to the One who sits on the Throne.

    Because why? He created us.

    So in this Passage, there is a Concept in your Worship – Not just a few People but all Creatures joins in this Worship.

    And then they declare the Majesty of Him that lives forever.

    And then, the Passage says that He is Worthy to receive.

    What does this mean?

    That the Lord receives what He is Worthy to receive.

    I. What He receives comes from what He achieved through His Death and Ressurrection.

    II. What He receives come from what we give unto Him.

    And what are the things that we give unto Him?

    Power and Riches and Wisdom and Strength and Glory and Blessings.

    I. Does it means that He doesn’t have Power and we have to give Him Power? No!

    When we Worship, we say: Lord, we give You Power.

    Are we making Him more Powerful? No!

    We are saying: Lord, we take all the Powet we have and we give it to You.

    II. Lord, we give You Glory. He already has Glory.

    What we are saying is that: Lord, we take our Glory and give it to You.

    III. Lord, we give You Wisdom!

    What does it mean? Is He not Wise? He is Wise.

    We are saying: God, we take our Wisdom and give it to You.

    IV. Lord we take our Riches and we give it to You.

    V. Lord we take our Honour and we give it to You.

    VI. Lord we take our Blessings and give it to You.

    And the Bible says that He receives that.

    So, True Worship is when we take everything that we considered Valuable Worthy in you and give all of the Worth to God and to the Lord Jesus Christ!

    And we must learn not only just to Praise Him because He is the Creator, but we must also learn to say, Lord everything You have given to me, I give it to You.

    • You give me Wisdom, I give it to You.
    • You give me Glory, I give it to You.
    • You give me Power, I give it to You.
    • You give me Might, I give it to You.
    • You give me Strength, I give it to You.

    Whatever You have given to me, I give it to You!

    And this Morning, we want to Practice that before the Throne of God!

    And we just want to say: Lord, You are our Creator, You are our Redeemer and all that we have, we give to You!

    Maybe you came to Church today or as you read now on the Label of DMC – Sad and morose and you can’t even smile.

    And you want to shake yourself because your Creator is still alive and your Redeemer is still alive and you are still Redeemed and you are still created.

    Once God has you, tomorrow can Change – Your Experience will conform to the Creator’s Plans and your Redeemer can redeem you from every catastrophes that you have fallen into.

    So, once He is the Creator and the Redeemer; you are Good!

    Someone say: “I AM GOOD!

    Do you believed that you are Good and all is well with you?

    Then, let’s rise up and offer Praise to the Lord.

    Lift Up Holy Hands to the Lord and begin to sing to Him and Worship Him. And give to Him Blessings and Hinour and Wisdom and Power and Dominion.

    Just give it to Him for the next 5 Minutes – As we express Praise to the Lord!

    SACRIFICE OF PRAISE- PART 4: PASTOR (DR) MENSA OTABIL – SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 2023.

    SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE WITH PASTOR (DR) MENSA OTABIL (GENERAL OVERSEER, INTERNATIONAL CENTRAL GOSPEL CHURCH (ICGC) CHRIST TEMPLE, ACCRA GHANA)

    TOPIC: SACRIFICE OF PRAISE – PART 4 (WORTHY)

    DATE: 19TH NOVEMBER 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: REVELATION 4: 9-11; REVELATION 5: 8-10 AND REVELATION 5: 11-14

    Let us rise up together as we make our “DECLARATION OF GATHERING” in this “YEAR OF GATHERING”.

    Are you ready? Say with me:

    I Proclaim Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. The Lord is the Shepherd of my Soul, my Shelter by Day, my Light by Night.

    In His Name, we Plough our fields, by His Spirit we gather the Harvest, in His Light we seek and find.

    In this Year of Gathering, the Lord of the Harvest has commanded: Launch Out into the Deep. At His Words, we cast our Nets, we gather in Souls and Substance for God’s Kingdom.

    The Lord is our Reward; in this Season I received God’s Portion set aside for me: Full Measure, Pressed down, Shaking together and running over.

    Nothing is Lost and Nothing is wasted in Jesus Name – Amen!

    I will continue my Series on Sacrifice of Praise and this is Part 4. And I will focusing on “Worthy” as the Subtitle of our discussion today!

    Last week (Part 3), we looked at the Book of Revelation Chapter 4:

    I. We noted that Worship is focused on God and His Throne. And so as we Worship the Lord, we must be Mindful of God and His Throne.

    II. Worship is not to give us a benefit or Pleasure but focused on the Lord and what He does for us.

    And this Week (Part 4), we still continue from the Book of Revelation – And we will do a bit of Chapter 4 and then a bit of Chapter 5.

    And then, we will be looking at three (3) different Worship Scenes in the Book of Revelation!

    1. So, Revelation 4: 9-11 – And it reads:

    9 Whenever the Living Creatures give Glory and Honour and Thanks to Him who sits on the Throne, who lives forever and ever,

    1. The twenty-four Elders fall down before Him who sits on the Throne and Worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their Crowns before the Throne, saying:

    11 “You are Worthy, O Lord, To receive Glory and Honour and Power;
    For You created all things, And by Your Will they exist and were created.”

    The Key word that we want to Pay attention to in this Passage is “Worthy” – Worthy is the word at the base of Worship!

    For us to really Worship God, we have to understand what it means when we say that something or someone is Worthy because Worship is the appreciation of Worth.

    In Heaven, you see that there is a certain focus on the Worthiness of the Person who is being Worshipped.

    So, what does it mean when we use the word “Worthy”?

    I. It means to have Weight and Worth.

    It means that the Person or the Thing is not Light or it is not Frivolous. It is something that is Weighty, something that has “Real Inner Value” and something that has a lot of Worth.

    It means that it has Value in itself.

    And of course, when we address it to God, it means that God has Value in Himself – We are not the one giving Him the Value as He already has it..

    II. Worthy means to achieve something Notable – What you achieve gives you Worth.

    There is a Worth that is Inner and there is a Worth that is based on Achievement.

    III. Then when we use the word Worthy, we say that something is Deserving of Recognition.

    A thing or something that is Worthy must be treated as Worthy – We can’t take a Worthy thing and treat it as Common.

    So, that is why when you have a Great Guest in your house, no matter how Poor and disadvantaged you are; when somebody that you think is Worthy comes to your home, you will not Ordinarily serve such with a thing that are common in the house.

    So, if there is a Drinking Glass that everybody commonly uses, if somebody Great comes to your home, you try to go deeper to bring out something that is not common.

    Why? Because you think that the Person is Worthy – And a Worthy Person must be Worthily Recognised.

    And so, when we say that God for example is Worthy, then it also means that the Recognition that we give Him must be an Expression of the Worth that we Placed on Him.

    • If you Place a High Worth on God, it means that you have a Big Worth for Him.
    • If you Place a Low Worth on Him, it simply means that you don’t have a Great Appreciation for who He is.

    When something is Worthy, we recognised it according to the Merit of its Worthiness!

    • Whether it is the way you treat a Special Guest.
    • The way you treat an item.

    There are items in our homes that are open for everybody to see and there are items in our homes that we hide/keep because we think that it is Worthy and Nobody must take it away from us.

    So, when something is Worthy, we recognised it as such!

    And then, we have to apply all these Concepts to Worshipping God and giving Him the Worth.

    So, we are going to look at the ways in which this Worship takes Place in Revelation Chapter 4 – What do they say that God is Worthy of?

    If you read the Passage, it says in Revelation 4:11 – For You are Worthy O Lord to receive Glory and Honour and Power.

    Why? Because You created all things and by Your Will, they exist and were Created.

    Now, they are telling us why they think that God is Worthy – “God is Worthy as a Creator”.

    I want you to Place close attention to this because later on; we will see another Expression of Worship and the focus will be a little bit different from this one.

    We Worship God because all things exists because of Him.

    If He had not made us, we won’t have even been here thinking about whether we should Worship Him or not.

    All things exists because of Him – The Universe exists because of Him, Creation exists because of Him and He is a Worthy Creator.

    God created all things for His Pleasures – Things exists not because of Him and there is Nothing bigger in Creation than God because He created all things.

    And that simply tells you that you cannot Worship God beyond measures – You can’t Over-worship God.

    There is no Worship that we give to God that is “Too Much”.

    Now, there are things that you can do to People that is “Too Much” – If I come to your house and you serve me right with Good Utensils. That is fine as you are saying my Pastor is Worthy,

    But if after that, you start rolling on the floor – From one end of the room to the other; and you are jumping and singing your Pastor’s Praises and all of that,

    Now, you are giving your Pastor something beyond – You are going overboard in your Worship.

    So, People will come to you and say: Are you Mad? He is just a man. Why are you rolling before him?

    However, when it comes to God, there is no Worship that is beyond God – There is Nothing that we can give to God that is beyond Him, that we can say as for this, you are doing it “Too Much”.

    There is no “Too Much” Worship when it comes to God. Why? Because He made all things and all things exist because of Him.

    And so, for you to give something that is beyond God, then you have to get something that is beyond God to do something beyond God.

    So, there is no Worship beyond God:

    • You can roll on the floor for Him.
    • You can jump to the Highest for Him.
    • You can sing to Him.
    • You can sell all your Belongings and give them to Him.
    • You can actually Sacrifice yourself for Him.

    And none of them will be beyond!

    I. You can decide that in my own way of Worshipping God, I will climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

    And when I get there, I will say: Hallelujah.

    … That won’t be “Too Much for my God”.

    DMC NOTES: Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant Volcano located in Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. It has three Volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. It is the highest Mountain in Africa and the Highest Single Free-Standing Mountain above sea level in the world: 5,895 m (19,341 ft) above sea level and about 4,900 m (16,100 ft) above its Plateau base. It is the Highest Volcano in Africa and the Eastern Hemisphere.

    II. Or I will go to Mount Everest.

    And when I get there, I will say: Hallelujah.

    … That won’t be “Too Much for my God”.

    DMC NOTES: Mount Everest is Earth’s Highest Mountain above Sea Level, located in the Mahalangur Himal Sub-Range of the Himalayas. The China–Nepal border runs across its Summit Point. Its Elevation (Snow Height) of 8,848.86 m (29,031 ft 8+1⁄2 in) was most recently established in 2020 by the Chinese and Nepali Authorities.

    III. Or I will go to the Moon.

    And when I get there, I will say: Hallelujah.

    … That won’t be “Too Much for my God”.

    … You can go the fartest Part of Creation and shout Hallelujah and it will still not be beyond God because there is no way to Worship God beyond Himself.

    That is what they are saying: You are Worthy because You created all things and all things exist because of You!

    And not only do You create all things; You Sustained all things – You hold all things!

    … He doesn’t just create, He Sustains.

    The Worshipper himself/herself belongs to God!

    So what all the four Living Creatures and twenty four Elders are saying is that:

    • We are Worshippping You because You created us in the first Place and so what should we do?
    • And we are Worshippping You because You are the One who has kept us up to this time.

    And so for that reason, we Worship You!

    We exist because of You and we are Sustained by You – And so, we are Worshippping You because You are our Creator!

    1. There is another Scene that we will look at – And this Worship takes Place after the Lamb of God had broken the Seal to open a New Phase of God’s Revelation.

    That is in Revelation 5: 8-10:

    8 Now when He had taken the Scroll, the four Living Creatures and the twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the Prayers of the Saints.

    9 And they sang a New Song, saying: “You are Worthy to take the Scroll,
    And to open its seals;
    For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every Tribe and tongue and People and Nation,

    10 And have made us Kings and Priests to our God; And we shall reign on the Earth.

    So the Passage is saying that they sang a New Song.

    And why is it saying that they sang a New Song?

    Because what they are about to express is different from what the four Living Creatures and twenty four Elders expressed.

    But now, there is a New Song coming – And if you pay attention to the Scriptures, it says that the four Living Creatures are still there and the twenty four Elders are still there but there is something else that is included in this Worship.

    It says that they are carrying a bowl of Incense and that bowl of Incense represents the Prayers of the Saints.

    In other words, in addition to the four and twenty Elders and the four Living Creatures now, there is a New Witness in this Worship – And that is Born Again Believers who has also offered Praise to God.

    The Bible calls them – Their Prayers!

    So, there is a New Category adding to this Praise and that is why the Song Changes.

    Because this New Category has an Experience that the four and twenty Elders don’t have and the four Living Creatures don’t have.

    And so the Song has Changed because the Quality of the Worshippers has also Changed!

    So, what are they Worshipping?

    They are Worshippping and they are saying: Christ is Worthy as our Redeemer – Not just the Creator but Redeemer.

    … That is a different Experience.

    The Living Creatures has not been Redeemed; the twenty four Elders, if they represent the Church; they understood their Redemption.

    But more than anything, the Prayers of the Saints – Born Again Believers, who has been Redeemed, who has now joined in this Chorus and so give it a totally New flaws.

    You are Worthy as a Redeemer because You have Redeemed us!

    And I want you to look at the four (4) things that they said in their Worship:

    I. They said that You are Worthy because You are Slained for us – You died for us!

    The Language demonstrates the “Brutal Christ” – The Price Paid for our Redemption.

    … He was Slained for us, He was killed for us.

    So they say, that’s why we are Worshippping You.

    II. Because You Redeemed us – Freed us from Bondage and You restored us back to God without injury.

    III. And they shifted the reason – Not only to what You have done for us but how You made us: You have made us Kings and Priests unto God.

    IV. And You have made us Rulers over the Earth.

    This is Profound – The Bible calls it a New Song because a New Experience (Those who has been Redeemed) has joined in this Chorus; those who has been Born Again has joined in this Chorus and they can sing a Song that the four Living Creatures cannot sing because they don’t fully understand Salvation and Redemption because they never fell to be Redeemed.

    But these guys fell and they have to be Redeemed – They joined their voices to the voice of the Elders and the Bible calls it a New Song.

    Normally, you sing a New Song to the Lord when you have a New Experience of the Lord!

    If you know Him only in one way, your Song will only be in that way; but when you see a New Dimension of God, then you sing a New Song to Him – To reflect that New Dimension that you have encountered of God!

    1. There is something I also want you to Pay attention to in this Worship – I consider it as the Purest form of Worship because this is in Heaven (Not David Worship, or Solomon Worship but Heavenly Worship).

    So, if you really want to understand Worship, this is what you have to follow because this the Purest form of Worship.

    And if you look at the Worship – It focus on two (2) things and two (2) things only: God as our Creator, Christ as our Redeemer!

    Why do we Worship?

    • Because God is our Creator
    • And Christ is our Redeemer.

    Why is that important?

    You see many times, you Worship God for benefits that we have received from Him – And it is Good to do that.

    I. We Thank God when you know People get married and so we sing:

    See what the Lord has done
    See what the Lord has done
    What we’ve waited for, has come to pass
    See what the Lord has done.

    II. Or a couple has been waiting to have a Child for so long and then the child came.

    They burst out and say:

    See what the Lord has done
    See what the Lord has done
    What we’ve waited for, has come to pass
    See what the Lord has done

    III. Or you have been waiting for America Visa for so long and it came finally:

    See what the Lord has done
    See what the Lord has done
    What we’ve waited for, has come to pass
    See what the Lord has done

    Now, all these Worship is based on what God has done for us Materially to make our lives better here on Earth.

    Whether we get a Promotion, God gave you money or we are able to Graduate – They are all causes for Praise but none of it is represented in this Worship.

    The Foundation of all Worship is because God is our Creator and Christ our Redeemer.

    Why is that important?

    You know sometimes People come to Church and say I have Nothing to Worship God about – My Life is hard for me, this Year has been a tough year (Maybe my shop got burnt and this happened, my Marriage broke up etc). We all have terrible experiences.

    And sometimes when we haven’t received anything from God in a Year/Month/Day, we think that there is no reason to Worship because God hasn’t done anything for us.

    There are People sitting in Church today or reading now on the Label of DMC – You came to Church dull because maybe this Week, you have been suffering.

    Pure Worship is not based on the Miracle you received – It is not based on whether you failed or Pass your exams; whether you are Divorced or Marriage not working; Married or not Married. That is not the basis of Worship!

    Of course, when God does Great Things for us, we must come and Worship Him.

    But until we grasp that our Worship is only based on two (2) things – God is our Creator and Christ is our Redeemer; then we cannot offer “Real Worship” unto the Lord because your Mood, your Experience will always Colour your Worship!

    But when we come to God to Worship, two (2) things we must remember – He makes us and He Redeemed us.

    So, I don’t know what your Experience has been this Week:

    I. Maybe this has been one of those weeks where you are like Job said: I wish this Day had never happened – The Day at which I was born.

    II. Maybe some of you looking at me and saying: I wish the 2nd Week of November 2023 had never happened and I wish it will be erased from the Earth’s History,

    But He is still your Creator and He is still your Redeemer!

    III. Maybe you lost your job this Past Week.

    But do you lose your Creator? You didn’t lose your Redemption!

    So, when we come before God, we understand what we have lost, we understand what has gone wrong but our focus is only on these two (2) things – God is our Creator, Christ is our Redeemer and that is the basis of Worship!

    That means we must take time to appreciate God as our Creator.

    And sometimes we take it for granted – Just like we take so many things for granted and we don’t even Value the Life that we have.

    Well, if you are not alive, you won’t have even experienced things.

    If you are not alive, you won’t have lost Property.

    So being alive is far more worthy than the experience that comes because you are alive.

    I am Alive, God created me, God is my Creator – I Worship Him because He made me.

    Life is hard but I’m Born Again, I’m Redeemed, I’m washed by the Blood of the Lamb, I’m a Child of God – So, I Worship the Lord.

    Is the Experience the best? Not exactly!

    Is God still your Creator? Yes sir!

    Is Christ still the Redeemer? Yes sir!

    Do you have all the basis for Worship? Yes sir!

    You don’t have a Visa but you have a Creator and a Redeemer.

    And that is why we Worship God and that is what Heaven is teaching us – Don’t let the Earthly Experience keep you away from my Heavenly Reality.

    Your Earthly Experience should not keep you away as the way God wants you to Experience.

    Listen, your Experience on Earth may be up and down – There is no Constant on Earth but there is a Constant with God. He is our God, our Creator and Christ is our Redeemer.

    The Final thing we will look at is in Revelation 5: 11-14:

    11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many Angels around the Throne, the Living Creatures, and the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

    12 Saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. To receive Power and Riches and Wisdom,
    And Strength and Honour and Glory and Blessing!”

    13 And every Creatures
    which is in Heaven and on the Earth and under the Earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
    “Blessing and Honour and Glory and Power. Be to Him who sits on the Throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

    14 Then the four Living Creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four Elders fell down and Worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.

    Now, if you look at the Progression of the Worship – Its like it starts with the small Group: Four Livinng Creatures, the twenty four Elders now joined by the Prayers of the Saints and then the third Scene; everything joining in including Creatures from the Sea and Creatures from the Earth. It means everything.

    I don’t know what the Bible means by everything there – Whether everything like the cat, dog, cow and everybody is saying: Blessing and Honour and Glory and Power and Wisdom to the One who sits on the Throne.

    Because why? He created us.

    So in this Passage, there is a Concept in your Worship – Not just a few People but all Creatures joins in this Worship.

    And then they declare the Majesty of Him that lives forever.

    And then, the Passage says that He is Worthy to receive.

    What does this mean?

    That the Lord receives what He is Worthy to receive.

    I. What He receives comes from what He achieved through His Death and Ressurrection.

    II. What He receives come from what we give unto Him.

    And what are the things that we give unto Him?

    Power and Riches and Wisdom and Strength and Glory and Blessings.

    I. Does it means that He doesn’t have Power and we have to give Him Power? No!

    When we Worship, we say: Lord, we give You Power.

    Are we making Him more Powerful? No!

    We are saying: Lord, we take all the Powet we have and we give it to You.

    II. Lord, we give You Glory. He already has Glory.

    What we are saying is that: Lord, we take our Glory and give it to You.

    III. Lord, we give You Wisdom!

    What does it mean? Is He not Wise? He is Wise.

    We are saying: God, we take our Wisdom and give it to You.

    IV. Lord we take our Riches and we give it to You.

    V. Lord we take our Honour and we give it to You.

    VI. Lord we take our Blessings and give it to You.

    And the Bible says that He receives that.

    So, True Worship is when we take everything that we considered Valuable Worthy in you and give all of the Worth to God and to the Lord Jesus Christ!

    And we must learn not only just to Praise Him because He is the Creator, but we must also learn to say, Lord everything You have given to me, I give it to You.

    • You give me Wisdom, I give it to You.
    • You give me Glory, I give it to You.
    • You give me Power, I give it to You.
    • You give me Might, I give it to You.
    • You give me Strength, I give it to You.

    Whatever You have given to me, I give it to You!

    And this Morning, we want to Practice that before the Throne of God!

    And we just want to say: Lord, You are our Creator, You are our Redeemer and all that we have, we give to You!

    Maybe you came to Church today or as you read now on the Label of DMC – Sad and morose and you can’t even smile.

    And you want to shake yourself because your Creator is still alive and your Redeemer is still alive and you are still Redeemed and you are still created.

    Once God has you, tomorrow can Change – Your Experience will conform to the Creator’s Plans and your Redeemer can redeem you from every catastrophes that you have fallen into.

    So, once He is the Creator and the Redeemer; you are Good!

    Someone say: “I AM GOOD!

    Do you believed that you are Good and all is well with you?

    Then, let’s rise up and offer Praise to the Lord.

    Lift Up Holy Hands to the Lord and begin to sing to Him and Worship Him. And give to Him Blessings and Hinour and Wisdom and Power and Dominion.

    Just give it to Him for the next 5 Minutes – As we express Praise to the Lord!

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
