OPENING PRAYER

Our Father and our God, there is None like You.

Oh thou Rock of Ages, the Unchangeable Changer – We Worship You because we know that You are there all the time and You have never Changed.

Whatever You have done before, You will do it again.

Glory be to Your Holy Name.

We Thank You because we know that we are More Than Conqueror because You loved us.

And because Your Love for Your People is forever, we know that we are More Than Conqueror forever.

Father, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Today once again, let Your Words go out and bring Healings to Your People.

Healiings Physical, Healings Mental, Healings Material, Healings Marital and Healings Spiritual.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

You may want to shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and said: Good Day, God bless you Mightily (Amen).

And then, you may Please be seated.

We are going to Part 45 in our Series: For Whom The Heavens Open.

And today, we want to learn some Lessons from Joshua Chapters 7 and 8.

Our Bible Text will be: Joshua 7: 10-12 as well as Joshua 8:30:

Joshua 7:10-12 and Joshua 8:30:

7:10. And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

7:11. srael 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.

7:12. herefore 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.

8:30: Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,

We already know in the Series that we have been dealing with how at a Stage God said to Joshua – I am not going with you anymore – You have failed and that’s it; unless you Restitute your ways.

And then Restitution was made – God came back again and He gave Victory to Israel. And Israel laughs Last so much so that they built an Altar unto God.

And so, as we discussed in the Last Series – Part 44; when God is on your side, you will laugh Last.

But when we look at the two (2) Chapters – Joshua Chapters 7 and 8; we find out that there are some very big Lessons to learn:

LESSON NO 1: THAT YOU ARE DOWN DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT YOU ARE OUT.

… That is very Important!

Job 14: 7-9 tells us that even when a tree is cut down; as long as the root is still in the Ground, then don’t think that is the end of the tree.

The tree has been cut down but as long as the root is still in the Ground, another tree can still grow out of that Stump.

Which is why Micah said in Micah 7:8 – It says that my Enemies, don’t rejoice over me. If I fall, I shall rise again. What a beautiful Passage.

Again like I keep referring to Boxing – That you are in the ring, you are fighting and Somebody gave you a blow that you are not expecting and you hit the Ground; that is not the end of the fight.

On the Ground there, they are going to count 1, 2, 3 and on and on to 10.

If you don’t get up by 10; that is when they will say that the fight is over.

And my Coach used to teach us in those days – When they knocked you down; stay down there till you hear 8, then you can begin to get up.

You hit the Ground because you didn’t see that blow comimg – Don’t jump up quickly and say what happened because you will still be goggy (DMC NOTES: Goggy means being weak and unable to think clearly or walk correctly usually because of illness or being tired).

The blow that knocks you down will almost make you faint.

Stay down there – Rest, recoup (DMC NOTES: A Kind of Recovery) a little bit of energy and then Plan your New Strategy.

Let the enemy think that you are tired, and that you are finished – Wait till 8, by then he will be thinking of rejoicing and then get up,

And he thinks – Now, let me go ahead and just give him one more blow.

And you say my friend, I made a mistake the last time, that’s why you got me down; this time around, come for your own!

Down does not mean out – Never forget that!

Ecclesiastes 9:4 says: A Living dog is better than a dead Lion.

Are you still alive? Don’t lose Hope!

Psalms 150:6 says clearly: Are you still Breathing? It said Praise God.

As long as you are still Breathing – It doesn’t matter what the Doctors may say, it doesn’t matter what the Enemies may be Planning to rejoice over you. Are you still Breathing? Oh, there is Hope!

The Doctors may say that you have less than a week to live – That’s their own Expert Opinion; wait for the Report of the Lord.

And you know what? The Report of the Lord is that it is not over until it is over!

It is not over until the Almighty God says no more Hope for you.

When you read Genesis 21: 1-7; Sarah said: Who would have ever thought that a 90 years Old Woman will give birth to a son for Abraham?

She said that I laughed myself and People must have laughed at me. But now, when we were laughing in Mockery, we will now laugh in Triumph.

Are you still Breathing? Then there is Hope for you.

Because Joshua was on his face on the Ground – Knocked down by the enemy.

But at long Last, he laugh Last and built an Altar for his God.

LESSON NO 2: WHEN GOD FORGIVES YOU, FORGIVE YOURSELF.

… That is very, very Important.

Oh, you made a mistake – You fell alright. The Almighty God said that you are in trouble but then you said I’m sorry and I will never do so again and then you restitute your way.

When God forgives you, then you should make sure that you forgive yourself.

Because in Psalms 103: 8-14; the Bible says that when God forgives you; as far as the East is from the West, that is how He takes your sin away from you.

… From the East to the West – That is a long, long distance.

It is we Human Beings that we will say you have come again ooo – This is what you did 9 years ago and I forgave you and you are comimg again. Not God! When He says that you are forgiven, then you are forgiven.

Otherwise, how could Somebody like Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 7:2 – He said that I wrong no Man.

He was the Chairman when they are Stoning Stephen to death – Even though we can’t remember any other thing, we remembered that much.

But by 2 Corinthians 7:2; he said that I wrong no Man.

Why? He said in 1 Timothy 1: 12-13 that everything I did in those days I did it in Ignorance. Then I met the Lord and everything Changed.

And the Bible says clearly in Acts 17:30 – It said that the time of Ignorance God winked at.

It is simply saying that just make sure that you don’t go back to those days of Ignorance.

You will remembered very clearly the Story of a Woman that was caught in Adultery – In the very act.

They brought her to the Lord Jesus Christ and they said: What the Law says is that we should Stone this woman to death.

He said: Fine, go ahead. But make sure that the Fellow who throws the first stone is the one who has never sinned before – They all checked themselves.

It’s just as I said to one fellow who was asking me about some happenings in recent days.

I said that when Somebody has done something wrong and the Wind blows it open; and you are beginning to mock and criticise.

Remember that the Wind is still blowing and it is the one whose case has come to the open that we see now – The Wind is comimg your way too.

So, laugh as loudly as you can so that when your time comes, we will be able to laugh louder.

Because the Judgement you used to judge others, that is the same Judgement we are going to use to judge you.

The Lord says to that woman caught in Adultery – He said: Nobody condemned you? She said that they have all gone.

He said that I didn’t condemn you too but just go and sin no more.

… When God forgives you, Please forgive yourself.

LESSON NO 3: THE ONE WHO CAN USE MOSES (SPIRITUAL FATHER OF JOSHUA) CAN STILL USE YOU REGARDLESS OF YOUR PAST.

Moses was a Murderer – Read Exodus 2: 11-12.

The Bible said that Moses went out to see his Brethren and he saw an Egyptian ill-treating one of his Brethren.

What did Moses do?

The Bible says that he look right and he look left.

What does that mean?

He was trying to see that I hope Nobody is looking.

He knew what he wanted to do – He wanted to kill.

He didn’t kill that Man (Egyptian) by accident – He did it deliberately.

… He look right, he look left before he killed him – That is a Murderer.

This is not a case of Accidental Killing but a Deliberate Killing.

I mean, there are cases where things happen by Accident.

I remembered once when I was at Kirikiri Maximum Prison to visit the Prisoners there (DMC NOTES: Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison is a Prison West of Apapa, Lagos State, Nigeria. It is named after the rural Kirikiri Community in which it is situated. A part of the Nigerian Correctional Service, its official capacity is 1,056. It was first established in 1955.)

There was a Young Man there who was Playing Organ – That was the first time that I was there with my Elder Pastor who took me under his wing.

I saw the way the boy was rejoicing on the Organ and so I asked that Pastor of Blessed Memory – Pastor Talabi: Are they going to release him next week? Why is he so happy?

He said no, he is here for Life.

Why? He said well, he has a quarrel with his friend, slapped the friend and he hit the Ground and died. And so, they Charged him for Murder.

But they discovered that this was Accidental Killing and so instead of Death, they commuted the Sentence to Life Imprisonment.

But that was an Accidental Killing; but in the case of Moses it wasn’t Accidental but a Deliberate Killing.

Moses was a Deliberate Murderer – But God still used him:

I. In Exodus 3: 1-10; when God wanted to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt, it was Moses that He said go for me.

II. It was the same Murderer who wrote the first five (5) Books of the Bible.

III. It was the same hand that committed Murder that opened the Red Sea.

IV. It was the same hand of Moses in Exodus 17: 8-13 – The hand of the former Murderer that gave Victory to the Children of Israel.

When he raised his hands against the Amalekites, the children of Israel Prevailed over the Amalekites. But when his hands were going down, the Amalekites were Prevailing.

The hand of a former Murderer brought Anointing down from Heaven, Passed it down to the Valley below and the children of Israel won the day.

V. And you know what? When you read Numbers 11: 14-25; the same Moses had enough Anointing for God to come down from Heaven and take out of his Anointing, give it to seventy (70) Elders and Moses was still not yet empty.

If a Murderer can be that Anointed – If he had more than enough Anointing for seventy (70) Elders; then he must be Someone else.

VI. And you know what? It was those Murderer hands that were laid on Joshua that cause Joshua to be filled with the Spirit of Wisdom.

If God can use Moses, then He can use you too!

And then consider David:

Consider the terrible sins of David and there were so many of them:

If you read 2 Samuel 11: 1-end; you will see how many sins that David committed – He abused his Power of being a King:

I. He coveted the wife of his Neighbour inspite of Exodus 20:17 that says that you must not covet your Neighbour’s wife.

II. He committed Adultery inspite of Exodus 20:14 that says clearly that thou shall not commit Adultery.

III. He was Part and Parcel of the Murderer of Uriah in spite of Exodus 20:13 that says thou shall not commit murder.

IV. And then he added Hypocrisy to that one.

Took the wife of Uriah, brought her to his house, giving the People the impression that he cared for one of the Widow of one of his Soldiers.

And Job 13:16 states clearly that no Hypocrite will come before God.

But then in 2 Samuel 12: 1-3; as soon as He said that I have sinned and I’m in trouble.

The Almighty God said okay we will handle that – You will take your Punishment.

But then, that is not the end of the Story because by the time you read 2 Samuel 12:24, how could you believed that the same David, with the same woman who was the wife of Uriah will Produce a son and God will say: “I Love him”?

The father calls that son Solomon; but the Almighty God called the son “Beloveth”.

And do you know that as bad as David was, he still ended up being called the father of the Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 10: 46-52.

And then consider in Matthew 26: 69-75 – Consider the series of sins that Peter committed in one day:*

I. He lied as he said that I don’t know Jesus Christ.

Revelation 22:15 says that Liars won’t go to Heaven.

II. He denied Jesus Christ three (3) times.

And Jesus said in Matthew 10:33 that anybody who denies me before Men, I will deny him before God.

III. He swore deceitfully.

And yet Psalms 24: 3-4 says that you want to make it to Heaven, you must never swear deceitfully.

And yet the Almighty God restored him.

The same Peter Preached one Sermon on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2:41 and won three thousand (3,000) Souls into the Kingdom of God – You know the rest of the Story.

But let me conclude:

If God can turn Someone who He Himself said that he is the Chief of Sinners – 1 Timothy 1:15; that’s Saul of Tarsus.

If He can turn the Chief of Sinner to a Chief Apostle; according to 2 Corinthians 11:5, I want to appeal to you today, let bygone be bygone.

If God has forgiven you, Please go ahead and forgive yourself.

Remember that is clearly written in 2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore if any Man be in Christ, He is a New Creature; Old Things are Passed away, behold all things has become New.

So for those of you who are truly, truly Born Again, forget the Past and March forward.

For those of you who are yet to give your Life to Jesus; you are the only one who may have to carry the burden of the Past.

But if you will come to Him now, I can guarantee you that with just one stroke; He will wipe out all the evil you have ever done and He will give you a Brand New Beginning!

ALTAR CALL

So, the Choice is yours!

If you are willing to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ; if you will bow your Head wherever you are now and cry to Him.

Ask Him to Please save your Soul, forgive your sins, give you a Brand New Beginning – He will do so.

So talk to Him for a Minute and I will Pray along with you and you will have a Brand New Beginning.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

And so my Father and my God, I want to say Glory be to Your Name.

Thank You for Your Words, and Thank You for the Grace to give us a Brand New Beginning.

I’m committing all those who are Surrendering their lives to You today into Your Hands; Please have Mercy on them, save their Souls Lord, let Your Blood wash away their sins and give them a Brand New Beginning.

Please as You have done for me, do it for them and keep them Steadfast in You till the End.

From now on, anytime they call on You, answer them by Fire.

And all those who are already Your Children, Please Lord let us forget the Past and March Forward.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Now, I rejoice with those of you who has given their lives to Jesus Christ

I want to Promise you that from now on, I will be Praying for you. Please contact me and let me have your name, Address and Prayer Points.

And Please contact the nearest RCCG to you – The Pastor there will tell you what to do next.

God Bless You!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!

MINISTERING (DAY 4 MORNING SESSION): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE (GENERAL OVERSEER WORLDWIDE, RCCG)

TOPIC: ABIDING BLESSING

DATE: 25TH MAY, 2024

BIBLE TEXT: PROVERBS 10:22

Thank You Father. Halleluyah!

SONG

We give You all the Glory
We give You Honour;
We give You all the Glory
We give you Honor (Jesus).

Repeated.

OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God we Worship You.

The Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the Great Provider, the All-Sufficient God; we Worship You.

When You Bless, Nobody can curse. When You Open, Nobody can shut. When You make a way, Nobody can close the way.

Oh LORD, accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name.

Please my Father and my God, today like never before, Bless Your Children and overwhelm them with Your Blessings.

The kind of Blessing that Your People would say, “Father this is becoming too much” release unto Your Children.

Let this day mark a Turning Point in their lives; and let it be well with them forever.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

Then shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell them: Brother/Sister, God will bless you Mightily today.

And then you may Please, be seated – God Bless You!

Well, like my wife said; we are extremely excited to be here today.

Like she told you, we came here Secretly – We drove round the entire Camp and we cried to God: “This Place must not lie waste. This should be another Redemption Camp.”

And I want to decree to you in the Name that’s above every other name, Nothing will stop the Expansion – Amen.

My God would Bless each and everyone of you so Mightily that building this Place would be easy for you – Amen.

So shall it be, in Jesus’ Mighty Name – Amen.

God Bless You! You may Please, be seated.

I have not come to Preach; because I am sure when you were drawing your Original Program, you didn’t include my name – I know, in the real sense of the word I am intruding (laughing)!

But when we got a Letter from my daughter that you are having this Program this week here, our hearts leapt for Joy because this is something we had Prayed about.

Believe me honestly, in your Mission, this is a New Beginning of Success, of Progress, of Joy, of Victory, of Acceleration – Amen.

So shall it be!

I’m just going to talk to you for a very short Period of time, because I’ve looked at almost everybody here, I can’t see anybody who is older than I here; except if the fellow is hiding in a corner. But from the faces I can see here, I must Probably be the oldest man here.

So, just a Word of Wisdom before I Pray for you again.

The Bible says in Proverbs 10:22:

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

That Passage is loaded!

If we were to Preach from it we would have talked about “Blessings with Sorrow.”

… Which God would never give you – Amen!

I have talked about a time I went to Minister in Victoria Island (VI – Lagos).

Because it was late, I had to spend the Night in the house of the one who hosted the Meeting.

So the next Morning, he asked me to join him for breakfast – and I accepted, because I wanted to see what Rich People eat (laughing).

It was time to eat breakfast, and it took him thirty (30) Minutes to decide.

When the Cook came, Sir what would you have for breakfast? They mentioned different things and finally he settled for Bread and Eggs.

Then the Cook asked, how do you want the eggs – Boiled, Scramble, Sunny side up, Omelette, etc? Finally he settled for boiled eggs.

How do you want the eggs boiled – Hard boiled, rare? Finally he settled for medium rare.

… Terms I’ve never heard before!

And then the Cook went on to ask: How many Minutes in boiling water? I think he settled for three and half (3½) Minutes.

And I was sitting down hungry (laughter)!

So when the Cook finally asked me, what do you want for breakfast: Is Bread and Eggs okay? I said, it is okay.

How do you want the eggs, omelette? I said, omelette is fine.

What do you want in the omelette? I said, everything you have.

How many eggs do you want? I said, as many as you can give.

I have no money but I have appetite.

And I know there’s somebody here or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC who can eat like me.

If you can eat whatever they put on the table, let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Some People have money, but they have sorrow with it.

The Kind of Blessing God will give you would be without sorrow – Amen.

What I want to say to you for the next few Minutes is that – It is one thing to have Blessing; it’s another thing for the Blessing to abide.

I want you to know that your Blessing would last – Amen.

You see, when we talk about Blessing, I’m sure you know it is something that will last.

If you read Genesis 27, you will see that almost all Blessings are Conditional.

When Isaac wanted to die; he was old and knew his days were numbered.

So he called his sons and said: go and Prepare me the kind of food that I like. Make my belly sweet and then when I Bless you, it would be something you can rely upon – You know the Story very well.

Before Esau returned, somebody has brought food, Papa has eaten, his stomach was sweet and he has poured the Blessing on Jacob.

The Bible says, in Genesis 27:30 – And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the Presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

Esau brought food again, but when you are already full, food means nothing.

So Papa said to Esau: Sorry, I have already blessed someone else, and he shall be Blessed.

I am talking to Men in Particular today: Do everything within your Power to secure the Blessings of your Parents.

Now when I talk about Parents, I am not only talking about your Biological Parents – That’s very crucial.

I’ve always told my People, I am what I am today by the Special Grace of God and the Blessing of my mother.

Because when I was Young, whenever I do something right to her, she would Pronounce a blessing on me – A Blessing I didn’t understand.

She would say, “You this boy, you would call one (1) Person, two hundred (200) would answer.”

I didn’t understand what that meant! But if we have the Ministers Conference at the Redemption City now and I say, “Pastor, come!” And I didn’t mention the name of the Pastor. How many Pastors do you think would come running? Millions!

I am Pronouncing the same Blessing on you – “You would call one (1) Person, two hundred (200) would answer.” Amen!

And I’ve always told my children the Story – I was traveling from Heathrow in those days Economy Class.

And when you are travelling Economy there is a limit to how heavy your luggage must be, but they don’t weigh your hand luggage. So, everything I wanted to carry I put in the hand luggage:

I got two (2) hand luggages.

As I was struggling with my heavy hand luggages, I saw two (2) of my children – Ha! Daddy Good Morning. I said, Good Morning.

And one of them ran towards me and grabbed the heavy hand luggages. So I turned to him and I said, God Bless You!

The second one said Daddy, you didn’t say God Bless me.

I said, what for? You greeted me, I greeted you. He helped me, I Blessed him.

… Take Note of that!

Because you are going to leave this Camp Ground Blessed – Amen.

That’s why I’m giving you that Word of Wisdom – When your Mama Blesses you at the end of this Convention pay attention: because if your Parents bless you, you will be Blessed.

If God is going to Bless you, most of the time the Blessings will be Conditional.

Read Genesis 12:1-3 – And I will make of thee a Great Nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name Great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the Earth be blessed.

When the Almighty God Pronounced Seven (7) Blessings on Abraham, the Blessings were conditional on Three (3) Major Conditions:

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy Country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a Land that I will shew thee:”

• Get out of your Land.
• Get out from among your kindred.
• Get out of your father’s house.

Three (3) Conditions!

Abraham got out of his father’s house, got out of his Country; but he took somebody from his family with him – Lot his Nephew.

God said, the Conditions are not right, so the Blessings are delayed.

When he got to where he was going, instead of Blessing he ran into a famine.

By the time you now get to Genesis 13:14, the Bible tells us, And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,

… When the Conditions became Complete, God then said:

Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the Place where thou art Northward, and Southward, and Eastward, and Westward: For all the Land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

He said, the Blessing I have is for you alone, not for you and Lot.

You know the rest of the Story; and you know how Lot ended.

But there is one occasion, when the Almighty God said to one man that it doesn’t matter what you do, my Blessing to you cannot be withdrawn – You would find it in Genesis 22:1-18.

That’s when God said to Abraham, I want to give you a Test: And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the Land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the Mountains which I will tell thee of.

It was a Test! God doesn’t eat children for breakfast.

Abraham Passed the Test – He offered to God his First Fruit Sacrifice.

Then God said: By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

God said I am the One swearing now: it doesn’t matter Abraham, from what you have done, you will always be Blessed.

When you read Proverbs 3:9-10, the Bible says: Honour the LORD with thy Substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine Increase: So shall thy barns be filled with Plenty, and thy Presses shall burst out with New wine.

Forgive me, I don’t know Theology, I don’t know Greek, I don’t know Hebrew – I only know English; and I know Yoruba.

The Almighty God said, honour me with your First fruit – There are those who would say, that’s Old Testament.

Thank you very much! If it’s good for them, it’s also good for me: Honour the LORD with thy Substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine Increase: He said, then I will bless you to such an extent you won’t have room to contain.

Don’t let anybody deceive you, God can Bless you beyond what you can handle.

I know what I’m talking about – On one occasion, the Lord Almighty inspired me to give out Twelve (12) Cars at the same time. I did it joyfully, to clear my backyard of cars.

Because earlier on He had asked me to give Him one (1) – I gave Him one (1), I saw the result.

There was a time I had only two (2) cars, and He asked me to give both of them out – I had to ask Him, “God are You the One speaking? Because what You said in Your Word that if I have two (2) coats I should give out one (1). Now You are asking for both.”

He said, I am the One speaking, just do what I said. I obeyed Him!

You see, some People see the Glory, they don’t know the Story – It is because you are very Special to me, that’s why I am sharing this with you:

It’s on record, I told my children, “I don’t want more Cars.” I left the pulpit, got home, there were Two (2) New Cars waiting – One Mercedes X Class, the other BMW Series 7.

I told the boys, didn’t you hear the Announcement? They said, “we bought these ones before the Announcement.”

I Pray in the Name of the One who sent me – That Level where you will say to God, “This Blessing is becoming too much” you would reach it before this time Next Year – Amen!

I want to Pray for you – Not just that you would be blessed, but that your Blessing would be Permanent!

But before I Pray for you, I want to give you Two (2) Minutes to ask God for that kind of Blessing that is even difficult to Dream of.

Just go to Him now for Two (2) Minutes and ask Him for that kind of Blessing that is beyond your ‘Wildest Dreams’ – He is Jehovah El-Shaddai, the God who is MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Talk to Him – That’s why He brought you here.

That’s why He arranged for me to be here as your father to Pronounce a Father’s Blessing on you.

Ask Him for something so big, that only God can do.

Ask Him to clear all your debts.

Ask Him to Bless you to such an extent you would never, never Lack again.

Ask Him to Prosper you so Mightily, that the Construction of this Camp would be easy, even if it’s for you alone.

Ask Him to Bless you beyond measures.

All Silver belong to Him; all Gold belong to Him. The cattle upon a thousand Hills belong to Him.

Ask Him!

Thank You Lord. Glory be to Your Holy Name

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed Amen.

CLOSING PRAYER AND FINAL FATHER’S BLESSING

My Father and my God, I Bless Your Holy Name.

Thank You for this very Unique Meeting.

Before we were born, my Father and my God, You knew how many we would be here today, inclusive all those reading now on the Label of DMC.

So I know that the People who are here now or reading now on the Label of DMC; have been selected by You before the Foundations of the world.

And I know You brought them together because You are about to Change everything in their lives.

Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.

It is in Your Name Lord, that I am Pronouncing Your Blessings upon these Your Children – As I say it Lord, establish it.

As many of you as would keep on honouring God; as many of you as would be dedicated to His Service:

In the Morning, you would be Blessed.

In the Afternoon, you would be Blessed.

In the Evening, you would be Blessed.

Even while you are Sleeping, God would be sending Help to you.

Everywhere you turn, ways will open unto you.

If you knock at one (1) door, seven (7) would open unto you.

The Almighty God would send Help to you!

From the East, from the West, from the North, from the South, He would send Help to you.

From Heaven Up, He would send Help to you.

From this moment on, the Heavens would open wide over you.

Wherever you go, you would find favour with God and you would find favour with Men.

Whatever you touch would Prosper.

God Himself will Support you.

He will Strengthen you.

And He will keep Sorrow far away from you.

And you will serve God till the end.

And then that Blessing that Money cannot buy, God would release unto you.

In the Kingdom of God, you would not be missing.

So shall it be!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, lift your hands to the Almighty God and just Bless His Holy Name.

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

SHORT ADDRESS BY MUMMY GO

SONG

We will Praise You
From Everlasting, Everlasting to Everlasting
We will Praise You
From Everlasting, Everlasting to Everlasting

Brethren, I want to say Good Afternoon and say that today is a Day of Glory!

We Salute the Almighty God because He has put Joy in our hearts and He has covered our Shame.

We give Him all the Glory, Honour and Adoration!

I Salute the Bishop in the House – Our dear Neighbour who rose up to encourage us.

God will continually encourage you sir – It shall be well with you and your Church will grow in leaps and bounds in Jesus Name.

DMC NOTES: The Bishop under reference is:: Dr. Edward Onabedje Benson – The Presiding Bishop of Holy Fire Evangelical Church, Ogudu Scheme 1, Alapere Lagos State Nigeria.

Baba (DMC NOTES: Referring to the Current PICP LP 28 – Pastor Bola Orekoya); we want to say Congratulations!

Because at the time that we were Passing by and we saw this Church razed down by fire right on the Major road; we were thinking in our heart that the Enemies will be rejoicing now.

But the Bible tells us that when there is a cast down, there is a Lifting!

The Yoruba will say: “Ile Oba to jo, ewa lo bu si (DMC NOTES: This simply means: “When a King’s Palace burns down, the “Re-built Palace” is more Beautiful.

We want to give God the Glory and Adoration!

I sincerely want to greet Pastor Akinsulore here today – He was here when the whole thing started.

He was so traumatised that it almost turned to Sickness for him.

But today you have seen what God has done.

DMC NOTES: Pastor Silvanus Akinsulore was the immediate Past PICP in LP 28 and the PICP when the building got burnt in 2021. He is now PICP in Edo 5.

And this is a Message of Hope to everyone of us – Whatever you have seen in your Life that the devil has wretched down; seeing this Place alone and entering into this Place alone there is a Lifting for you in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

And so shall it be!

Congratulate your Neughbour for me and say: There is a Lifting for you – Amen!!!

DADDY GO SERMON

SONG

We give You all the Glory
We give You Honour
We give You all the Glory
We give You Honour

OPENING PRAYER

King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Great Restorer – We bless Your Holy Name.

We Thank You that today we can see what You have done.

We Thank You because You have confirmed that: “He who laughs Last, laughs Best” – Thank You today that Your Children are Laughing Last.

Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Today in all our lives, let there be Complete Restoration.

Complete Restoration of Health, of Strength, of Prosperity, of Joy, of Glory, of Anointing, of Lifting Up, of Mighty Breakthrough.

Let everybody here today, Inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; go home with a Testimony.

And when you have done it; Please take all the Glory.

Father, we re-dedicate this Building to You today:

Like never before, let this Place be a Miracle Center and don’t let there ever be a Tragedy here again but only shout of Joy.

Every Sick Fellow who will ever come here to Worship, heal them all.

Anyone who will come here for one Miracle or the other; Please Lord don’t disappoint them.

And let the Miracles begin now.

As we Pray in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen!

Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell him/her that: “Today is my Day of Restoration”.

And then, you may Please be seated.

Well, once again Congratulations to all of us.

We Thank God for what He had done – That He has now filled our hearts with Joy and our mouth with Praise.

The Book of Haggai 2:9:

The Almighty God was speaking and He said: The Glory of this Latter house shall be Greater than of the Former, saith the LORD of Hosts: and in this Place will I give Peace, saith the LORD of Hosts.

The Almighty God is the Alpha as well as the Omega.

Revelation 1:8, Jesus Christ said: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending; the One who is, the One who was, the One who is to come.

So, from the Beginning to the End and all that is in-between is under the Control of God!

And one thing that we have always discovered about God is that He always reserved the Best till the Last.

In John 2: 1-11; in the Wedding in Cana of Galilee – You know the Story.

When they ran out of wine and they were about to be embarrassed; the Lord intervened and turned water to wine.

And when the Fellow who was in Charge of Entertainment tasted that wine, he called the Bridegroom and said: People normally give their best wine at first; so that when People are drunk and they don’t know the difference, then they bring in the one that is not so good. He said that you have kept the best wine till now.

… God always reserves the Best till the Last.

So, I have Good News for Someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – What is coming in your Future is going to be far, far better than the Present (Amen).

So, when you go through the Scriptures, you will discovered that the Latter is almost irreversibly better than the Former.

When you read 2 Samuel 12: 15-25 – David Prayed hard for his son not to die but the boy died.

And when the boy died, another son was born – His name is called Solomon.

And the Bible says: ” God Loved him”.

So, the replacement become far, far better than the Original.

I have told the Story before – And some of you have heard it:

My mum had many girls and only one son and after that son, she said: Enough is Enough.

But after some years, the son died and so they had to beg her to be Pregnant again – After a lot of begging, she agreed and I was born.

Now, they always said that I am the best thing that happened to the Adeboye’s family.

Have you lost anything at all? I have Good News for you – Something far better is on the way (Amen).

In 2 Chronicles 1: 6-15 – Solomon gave a Thousand Burnt Offerings to God. Nobody had ever seen that kind of Offerings before.

As a matter of fact, the Priests were surprised – They thought that because Solomon was not very, very brilliant; he was a “Spoilt Boy” and so they thought that maybe he didn’t know what he was doing.

So, by the time he offered seven Burnt Offerings, they thought that should be enough but he told them that I have not even started and so went on until he gave a thousand Burnt Offerings.

He gave so many Offerings that the Almighty God decided to Pay him a visit and ask him: What do you want?

You know the Story – And he asked for Wisdom and Understanding.

And God said, alright since you have asked for Wisdom and Understanding, I will give you that and that which you have not asked for, I will add.

The next time that Solomon was going to give a Special Burnt Offerings, he didn’t give another thousand Burnt Offerings.

In 2 Chronicles 7:5; the Bible tells us that He gave twenty two thousand (22,000) Burnt Offerings plus one hundred and twenty thousand (120,000) Sheep.

… The Latter was so far Superior to the Former!

The Promise of God for him after that wasn’t just Money and Long Life but it was something out of this world.

That is why occasionally when some of you that are very close me give me a Gift; you know that I always Pray a Prayer for you – The Prayer is: Next time will be more.

Many People don’t know the meaning of that – They think: Is Daddy Greedy?

But there is a Story before that.

I went to Preach in Ikoyi and all the big, big boys were there. And there was this Young boy – I didn’t know how he managed to get into that Group but he got into the Group.

When I finished Preaching, he came to me and said that I have never heard this kind of Sermon before and I want to give you a Gift.

This “Small Boy” only had ten (10) Petrol Stations – That is how small he is compared to those he was mixing with.

So he gave me a Gift of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and I said: Thank You, next time it will be more.

He left my Presence angry – What kind of Greedy Pastor is this?

But the following Year, he came back to the same Gathering and after we finished he came to see me.

He said, last year when you Prayed that Prayer, I was upset. But now seeing that between then and now, I have ten (10) Petrol Stations but now owned one hundred and ten (110).

He said that I have come back to make sure that this time, it will be better than before.

I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Whatever Offerings you give here today will be the Least that you will ever give (Amen).

HOW CAN MY LATTER BE BETTER THAN MY FORMER?

Isaiah 1:19 says that: If you are Willing and Obedient, you will do what? You will eat the Good of the Land.

In the Story of the Wedding at Cana of Galilee; what turned their Story to Joy and what turned the Failure at the beginning to the Tremendous Success at the end is only one thing – OBEDIENCE!

The mother of Jesus told those who are waiting there – Whatever He asked you to do, do it.

For the rest of your Life, make Obedience your Watchword – That whatever God says do, you will do it.

And you will see how He can make your Latter End far, far Greater than the Beginning!

When you read Genesis 26: 1-16; you see the Story of Isaac.

He was in a Land where there was Famine and in a Land where things are very hard; even as we are going through some hard times in our Nation and he wanted to “Japa”.

He wanted to run away but the Almighty Gid said: Don’t run and stay here – Just obey me and do what I asked you to do.

And the Bible said that the boy stayed and the boy began to sow.

The first year he sowed, he got an hundredfold Returns.

By the second year, the Bible didn’t tell us how many folds Returns he got but the Bible tells us that the boy just kept on increasing steadily until he became Very Great.

Everybody around was shouting Famine but this boy was shouting Greatness.

He became so Great that the King of the Land came to him and said: Sir, you have to leave us because you have become Greater than us.

I have Good News for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – The God that I serve is going to Prosper you so much that the whole Nation will hear about it (Amen).

You see, the Bible says in Proverbs 4:18 – It says that the Path of the Righteous will be as a Shinning Light; Shinning brighter and brighter until the Perfect Day.

2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us that if you really belong to Jesus Christ, you will be moving from Glory to Glory.

May I Prophesy to this Province: Very soon, this Building will become Children Church – Amen!

And what is the Conclusion? – Very Simple!

The Bible says I Colossians 1:27 – It says: Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.

If Chrust is dwelling in your – If He is absolutely in Control of your Life and if you are hundred Percent Obedient to Him; there is only one thing waiting for you in your Future. And that is Glory!

The Almighty God can move you from one Level of Glory to another if you learnt the Secret of always saying: “Yes Lord”- Whatever He says, that is what you will do!

As for those of us who doesn’t really have Christ in us; oh it is difficult to know what your Future will bring.

But today being a very, very Special Day, I will want to give you an opportunity to come – Surrender your Life to Jesus and let Him come and dwell in you.

And from that moment onwards, your Life will be from Glory to Glory – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

So, if you are here – Whether inside or outside or reading now on the Label of DMC; and you want to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ or you want to open up your Life to Him to come in and dwell; come before I count seven (7).

Come and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ and let Him take over.

Now, those of you infront, let us cry to the Almighty God and say:

Almighty God, I have come to Surrender my Life to You as You are the Only One who can Change my Shame to Glory.

Please save my Soul, come and dwell in my Life, come and take Control as I Surrender my Life to You today and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands to these our new Brothers and Sisters and Intercede for them.

Pray that the One who saved you will save their Souls also.

Pray that God will give them a Brand New Beginning.

Go ahead and Pray for them!

Thank You Father.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND FINAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS

So my Father and my God; I want to say Thank You.

Thank You for Your Words and Thank You for these People that has come to Surrender their lives to You.

Father, Please receive them in Jesus Name, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins.

Please Lord, enter into their lives and receive them into the Family of God.

And from now on, move them from Glory to Glory.

Anytime they cry to You, answer them by Fire and let them serve You till the very End.

My Father and my God; I’m committing everybody here into Your Hands – This is a very, very Special Day.

I Pray Lord that when I ask them to call on You now; whatever they ask from you today, before the Sun Sets, let it become a Testimony.

Let this day be a Day of Restoration for them and let it be a Day of New Beginning for them.

And Please Lord; very very soon, as a result of Today’s Service, let there be Multiple Testimonies.

I Pray once again for anyone who may be here with any form of Sickness or Disease; cancel all Doctor’s Reports and just make them Completely whole.

Anyone in any form of Bondage, Father set them Free today.

And Lord, anyone who has been Stagnant – Standing on one spot for a Long Time; this very Month, let their Promotion begins.

Answer the Prayers of Your Children by Fire and let it be well with all of us.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

The rest of us, if you believed that today is your Day, rise up on your feet and shout a Big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Now, I want you to think of something Big, something Great and something that only God can do.

Because you are going to ask God for a Re-Dedication Miracle!

You are going to say: I need a Re-dedication Miracle and then you will tell Him what it must be!

Go ahead and cry to the Almighty God!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

SONG

What a Mighty God we serve
Hallelujah
What a Mighty God we serve
Hallelujah
Heaven and Earth Adore Him
Even Angels bow before Him
What a Mighty God we serve.

OPENING PRAYER

Our Father and our God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Ancient of Days, the All Sufficient God – We Worship You.

We give You all Glory, all Honour, all Adoration and we say: Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Lord God Almighty, all we are asking You to do tonight is: “Let there be Light”.

In South Africa, let there be Light; in all the Nations represented here, let there be Light; in our lives, let there be Light; in our Homes, let there be Light; in our Churches, let there be Light; in our Businesses, let there be Light.

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

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

I want you to turn to two (2) or three (3) People and say: Neighbour, I love you but tonight my Miracle(s) will be better than yours.

And then, you may Please be seated.

I’m delighted to be with you here tonight – Its being 8 years since I came to South Africa last. And I’m Trusting God that He will allow me to come back again.

John 1:1-5:

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by him (That means including you); and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was Life; and the Life was the Light of men.
5. And the Light shineth in Darkness; and the Darkness comprehended it not.

When Light collides with Darkness; Darkness must give way!

So, everything representing Darkness in the Life of Someone will vanish tonight – Amen!

Because in Genesis 1: 1-3; the moment God said: Let there be Light; Darkness gave way.

I don’t know for whom God organised this Particular Meeting, but before you get out of this Hall or finished reading now on the Label of DMC; everything associated with Darkness in your Life will be gone – Amen!

I am going to use as case Study for my brief Message tonight – The Story of a Man in John 5: 2-9.

This is a Story you know very well:

There is a Pool at a Place called Bethesda. A lot of People with Hopeless cases – Blind, Lame, Dumb, Withered; they gathered by that Pool. Because once in a year, an Angel will come down and stir the water in the Pool. The first fellow to jump in will be healed and the rest will have to wait till another year.

Then one day, the One who is called the Light of the world – That is Jesus Christ Himself; walked into the Place, He saw the Multitudes but He was interested in only one Person. That Fellow had been there for 38 years.

He walked to the Fellow; the fellow didn’t know who was comimg to him – Just as Somebody is here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; you don’t know what is even about to happen to you.

Jesus Christ got to him and said: Will you be made whole?

What a Question? I am here because I want to be made whole.

But that was not what he said – The Man began to tell a long Story: I have been here for 38 years, I have no one to help me. And when I am going to the Pool, before I could get there; Somebody else has gotten in and then I will have to crawl back to my Place and wait.

And Jesus said to him: Your Problems are over!

In the Name of the One who sent me to South Africa – There is Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC; your Problems are over (Amen).

You know the rest of the Story – The Man just discovered that I can get up. He looked around and all the Problems disappeared.

I want to tell you some of the Problems that could disappear when the Light of God comes:

1. When Light collides with Sickness; Sickness must give way.

Because the One who is called the Light is also the One who is called “The Great Physician”.

Exodus 15:26 – He said that I am the Lord that healeth thee.

… The Original Physician!

In Malachi 4:2; the Bible says unto them that feared the Lord, the Sun of Righteousness arise with Healings in His Wings.

And the One who is called the Sun of Righteousness is the Lord Jesus Christ.

In 1 Peter 2:24; He is also the One with the Healing Stripes.

The Bible tells us that by His Stripes we were Healed.

… Not going to be healed but we were Healed.

More than 2,000 years ago, your Healings has been Paid for and you will collect it tonight – Amen!

He has the Ability to heal even those who are Incurable.

In Matthew 8: 1-3; the Bible tells us of a Leper.

In those days, a Leper is Somebody with Stage 4 Cancer – There is Nothing anybody could do for him.

He came to Jesus – The One with Healings in His Wings and immediately he was made whole.

I cannot begin to tell you how many People that has been condemned to die who came to Jesus Christ and are made whole.

But all that I can tell you is simply this – When Light Shines tonight your Sickness must give way!

2. When Jesus Christ said to the Man – Will you be made whole? The first thing that he said is: I am a lonely Man.

When Light Shines, Loneliness must disappear!

Why? Because the Light hates Loneliness.

He is the One who said in Genesis 2:18 – It is not Good that a Man should be alone.

… It came from God.

So, it is not in the Plan of God for you to be of Marriageable Age and remain Single – God says that it is not Good.

And if it is not Good, then God will take care of it.

In Hebrews 13:5; the One called the Light of the world made a Promise – He says that I will never leave you, I will never forsake you.

In other words, it means that I will see to it that you are not Lonely.

In John 13:1; the Bible said that if He loves His People, He loves them to the very End.

There is Someone who is a friend to the friendless – And when He loves you, He doesn’t love you halfway and jilt you but He will love you forever.

I have Good News for those of you who are of Marriage Age, but who are not yet married – In the Name of the One who sent me, your Wedding Bell will soon ring (Amen).

Mark my word for it – There will be many Marriage Celebrations (Amen).

3. The Man said: I have failed for 38 years everytime that I made an effort.

Because you can imagine at what happened at that Pool – As soon as they see the Angel stirring the water, everybody begins to run to be able to get in.

This Man said that I have tried for 38 years and I have failed 38 times.

When Light Shines, Failure must disappear!

Because according to Jeremiah 32:27; the One who is called the Light is also the One who can never fail.

He said that I am the God of all flesh, is there anything “Too Hard” for me?

In Psalms 46:1; the Bible calls Him the Ever Present Help in the times of Trouble.

That Man said that I have no Helper – But there is Someone who can help.

I Thank God for the Testimony of my son – He said that for 5 years. He has even use Contacts in Big Places but they failed.

But there is Somebody who never fails – And He is coming to your Life tonight (Amen).

When you read Luke 5: 1-7; it tells you the Story of Peter who had fished All-Night and caught Nothing.

You know that when we talk about Success, there are many People who believed that People who are considered Failures are Peoole who are lazy – That’s not true, you can work very hard and still fail.

Many atimes, when a Student failed his exams, there are People who will believe that he didn’t Study hard – That’s not true.

You can Study very hard and get to the Examination and blank out – I have been there and it has happened to me before.

You know that I Studied Mathematics and in Mathematics, it is either you know it or you don’t know it – There is no Guesswork and that is why People feared it as you can’t Pretend.

I was in the University and I was Good in my Subjects – What you will call an Honour Student.

There was one Particular Subject that I was the best in the Class – My Classmates will come to me for explanations.

But then, the day of Exam came and in those days, they will ask you to answer five (5) Questions out of eight (8).

I read Question No 1 – I couldn’t understand, I went to Question No 2 – Blank, Question No 3 – No Head or Tail, by now I was sweating. Question Nos 5, 6, 7 and 8 – No idea.

So, I was about to get up because if you fail that time, they will allow you to come back and repeat that one – They call it resit in our own days.

I was about to get up as I said: Well, Nothing is working today; I will come back and do a resit.

There was an “Invincible Hand” that kept me down – You know God has been helping me before I knew Him. And He will help you tonight – Amen.

After about 15 Minutes, everybody was writing; I decided to read the Questions again – Question No 1, this is so so Equation; No 2, this is so so Formula. Ha, I know everything here.

I answered all the eight (8) Questions – And as a Young Man that is a bit rascally, I wrote at the Top of the Answer Sheet, mark any five (5)

I decree to Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – You will never fail again (Amen)

4. The Man said that I didn’t just failed, I was defeated.

You see, as I was going to the Pool, before I could get in; Somebody got in before me – Somebody robbed me of Victory.

When Light comes, no more defeat!

PROPHESY:

Thank You Lord!

The Lord asked me to tell Someone – He said that the Fellow will understand.

He said: Tell Sarah your Isaac is on the way” – Amen!

Why? Because the One who is called the Light of the world is also called “The Man of War”.

Exodus 15:3 says: The Lord is a Man of War.

Whether you believe it or not, our God is not a Civilian – He is a Warrior.

As a matter of fact, if you read Psalms 24: 7-10; the Biblle calls Him the Lord of Host.

When I was a Younger Christian, I used to think when they say the Lord of Host; I thought they are saying that He is the Lord of all the Angels.

But I have seen learnt that He is the Lord of all the Host in Heaven, of all the Host of Earth and all the Host underneath the Earth.

Because the Bible says that at the Name of Jesus, every knees must bow; of things in Heaven, of things on Earth, of things underneath the Earth.

I have discovered that even the devil must get Permission from Him – If you don’t believe me, read the Book of Job Chapters 1 and 2.

And I have Good News for those of you who are truly His Own and those of you will will truly become His Own – He is not going to give the devil Permission to trouble you (Amen).

And when we talk about Him; maybe I need to emphasis this a little bit:

When you are talking about a Warrior – A True General, he will tell you that the Greatest Headache of a Warrior is what to do with the bodies of the Enemies that they killed in Battle? They don’t want to do the unpleasant job of burying those dead bodies.

And yet, if they leave the dead bodies around unburied, they will rot and that could lead to an Epidemic.

So, what does my Father do?

I. When He is fighting His Enemies by Land, He will ask the Land to open and swallow them.

He will not just kill but do the burying at the same time.

II. When he is fighting by Sea, He will just ask the sea to open – The Enemies goes in, the sea close and the fish will finish the rest of the job.

III. And in case you don’t know; my Father is the first to throw Bombs.

And if you don’t believe where that one is; when you get home, go and read Joshua 10: 1-11.

The Bible said that when the Enemies of the children of Israel were running away, it was God who was sending down Bombs – Big Stones.

The Bible said that those who are killed by the Stones were more than those killed by the sword.

The Good News is simply this:

I. If your Enemies are those that are flying in the Air, my Father will bomb them – Amen!

II. If your Enemies are those that are in the oceans/water/Marine Spirits; tonight my Father will finish them – Amen!

III. And when He want to show how Mighty He can be, when He wants to deal with the Enemies on the Land; instead of wiping them out, He could just Paralysed them.

You know that He says in His Words – Thou Preparest a Table before me in the Presence of my Enemies.

Occasionally, He doesn’t want to finish all the Enemies, He wants them to watch you while you enjoy.

I have Good News for Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – You will never be defeated again (Amen).

5. That Man said: I go forward and then I go backward – I have been Stagnant for 38 years and just going round in cycles with Nothing to show for all my efforts.

There is no Promotion at all – If there is any, maybe “Chief of Sick People”.

But when the Light shone on him, the one who has been lying on the floor suddenly got up.

If you read the Story to the end, you will discovered that for the first time in 38 years, he showed up in the Church because that was where the Lord met him the Second Time.

When the People in the Church saw him, they couldn’t even recognise him – He has been gone for 38 years. But Promotion came finally.

When Light Shines, Stagnation comes to an end.

Why? Because the One who is called the Light is also the Great Promoter.

Psalms 75: 5-7; the Bible tells us that Promotion doesn’t come from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South but God is the Promoter.

And in 1 Samuel 2: 7-7; the Bible tells us that He can even pick a Beggar from the dunghill and Promote him until he begin to dine with Kings.

May I Prophesy to Someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Because you came, long before you die, you will be dining with Presidents (Amen).

He can Pick you from no where and just keep on Promoting you until Presidents will be looking for you!

You said: What are you talking about Pastor?

I mean there are certain things that just don’t happen – I agree with you. But you can’t question Experience.

I was born by a Man who was so Poor that all the Poor People around call him Poor.

So, if I am to use the Language of Mathematics, I will say that the Poverty of my father is Poverty Squared. And yet God picked me up.

And the Man Standing before you; for the first 18 years of his Life didn’t have a Pair of Shoes.

When you are talking about Somebody who is Nothing, I have a rough idea.

If you want to have a rough idea of how Poor my background is, the day my father bought an umbrella, we Celebrated it – Some Chickens lost their lives.

But just to give one occasion to give you a rough idea of what God is about to do in your Life tonight.

I was visiting a Nation and I said that I will love to meet the President so that I can Pray with him for his Nation. And he agreed to see me. But they told me that he has only 15 Minutes for you – Ha, that’s fine.

Then I got there and we started talking – He was the one doing the talking and you can’t ask him to stop.

After 2 hours, I had to Politely said: Your Excellency sir, your People are waiting at the Stadium for me.

He said, Let them wait. He said that they have People they can talk to but I have no one I can tell the Secrets of my heart to.

He said that I have heard about you – Let me take the advantage of you being around; I have many Problems.

When finally he allowed me to go, I was talking to my wife – I said, look at us now! We were Nothing and now the President doesn’t want us to leave.

… He can pick a Beggar from the dunghill and Promote him to a Level where he will be dinning with Kings!

In the Name that is above every other names; you will not die Unknown – Amen!

6. And then, it became clear from looking at this Story that when Light Shines, Barrenness will come to an end.

You say: What do you mean by that?

A Man who is sick for 38 years can’t be talking of getting married – If he had a wife at all, the wife would have abandoned him.

… He said: I have Nobody!

So, it is automatic that this Man never had a Child.

But I am sure that after God raised him up, when People say what happened to you and he began to share the Testimony; he became the talk of the Town:

• I’m sure that it wasn’t long after that he got married.
• I’m sure that it is not long after that he began to have children.

And do you know that another meaning of Barrenness is Fruitless Efforts.

When husband and wife has been doing what they are supposed to do and there is Nothing coming out of it.

But when the Light Shines, Barrenness and Fruitless Efforts will come to and end.

Why? Because the One who is called the Light is also “The Father”.

In Matthew 6:9; when the Lord was teaching the Disciples how to Pray, He said that this is how you must Pray: “Our Father”,

A father is different from a man – A father is someone who has at least a Child.

And when the One who is the Father of all fathers pays you a visit; your Barrenness must end.

PROPHESY

The Lord asked me to tell Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said: “I will visit your Family this Month” – Amen.

In Genesis 18: 9-14; God visited Abraham and his wife at a time when everything Scientifically reasonably says: Forget it.

Sarah was already 90 years Old, Abraham was 100 years Old – That’s why when God said to Abraham that within a year, your wife will come forth with a son; the Bible said that Sarah laughed.

God said, why did Sarah laughed?

She said I didn’t laugh – Why should I laugh? I mean what you said is not funny at all.

But you know the Story – I wasn’t there o but that night in the Tent, Abraham turned to Sarah and said: How now?

Sarah said: What is wrong with you Old Man? And the Old Man said my Body feel somehow after that Visitor said what He said.

And before you know it, Sarah became Pregnant. And the People who saw the Pregnancy thought that she must have eaten extra but she was laughing.

She kept laughing until the baby came – That’s why they named the baby “Isaac”.

In the Name that is above every other names, your Fruitless Efforts end tonight – Amen!

7. When Light Shines, your History will Change.

It doesn’t matter how long you have been suffering, in a Single moment; God can Change your Story!

When you go through the Scriptures; you will discovered from our Bible Text – In the Beginning was the Word.

The Beginning of all beginnings is the One called the Light.

The Bible tells us that before the Mountains were brought forth, He is God.

So, it doesn’t matter how Big your Mountain is, it is not Older than God!

And if He knows the beginning of your Mountain, He can uproot it out from the very beginning.

PROPHESIES

1. I want to say Amen to this one before I tell you – Amen!

Because the Lord says that there is Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said the “Biggest Breakthrough” in your Life thus far; the door of it will open soon – Amen!

2. Oh Lord, Thank You very much – I believed that God loved us in South Africa..

Because He asked me to tell Someone:

He said: “I will make you Comprehensively Victorious” – Amen!

When you go through the Scriptures:

I. You will find in Mark 5: 25-34; that was the Story of the woman with the Issue of Blood – Her Problem lasted for 12 years.

II. In Luke 13: 10-13; the Bible talked about a woman who was bent double and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t Straightened Up – Her Problem lasted 18 years.

III. In John 9: 1-7; the Bible spoke about a Man who was born Blind – His Problem even started from the Womb.

But it doesn’t matter how long your Problem had been; there is Somebody that is before every Problem and He can solve every Problems – And He is the One who is called the Light!

The Bible says that He Shines in Darkness and Darkness cannot overcome it.

So, when the Light Shines tonight, all your Problems will be over – Amen!

But the Big Problem is: Will you allow the Light to Shine?

You see because God said in Revelation 3:20 – He said: Behold, I Stand by the door and I knock. If you hear my voice and you open then door; then I will come in.

You know that it is Possible for you to shut the door, shut the windows and pull the curtains – While the Sun is Shinning Brighter outside, the room can be in complete darkness.

God will not force Himself upon you!

Oh, some People said that if He said He Stand by the door and knock; if He is the Almighty, why doesn’t He force open the door.

My God is not an Armed Robber – He is a Gentleman. He will knock at the door; if you like you open the door to Him and if you like keep the door shut. After some time, if He keeps knocking and you don’t open to Him, He goes away.

But He has another reason why He will not force the door open – It is because He knows that He has His own door that if you don’t open the door to Him here on Earth, on the Last Day; you will knock at His own door too and He won’t open.

Remember what the Bishop told you – The moment Noah and all his family Members got in, who shut the door? God!

And once God has shut the door, no Man can open it.

All God can do for Light to Shine into your Life; He has already done.

He sent me all the way from Nigeria to come and be with you tonight.

You have the opportunity to Surrender, you have the opportunity to open the door of your Heart and Life and said: Let Light come in.

You can grab the opportunity or you can ignore it.

But let me tell you the Truth – Before you dare open the door of your Heart to Him, I must tell you that once He comes in, He takes over. He won’t come in and become your Tenant.

• Once He comes in, He becomes the Landlord.
• Once He comes in, He will become the One Calling the shot and will be the One dictating to you what you must do and what you must not do.
• Once you open the door to Him, you can’t live like you used to live again.

That is why the Bible says: Therefore if any Man be in Christ, He is a New Creature; Old Things has Passed away, all things has become New.

So, if you are not ready for a New Life, don’t open the door – Stay in your Darkness, continue to enjoy the devil and all the Sorrows, and all the Problems he can bring.

But if you want to say to the Lord Jesus Christ – From now on, come into my Life and take over.

Once Light comes in:

• Sickness will go out.
• Loneliness will go out
• Failure will go out
• Defeat will go out
• Stagnation will go out
• History will Change

ALTAR CALL

So, I’m giving you an opportunity now – If you truly, truly want to say: Oh Lord God Almighty, let there be Light, come into my Life, come and take over.
