TOPIC: GOD – PART 6 (THE JUDGE)

DATE: 17TH MARCH, 2024

BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 1:4-5

This is Part 6 of my God Series; and my Subtitle is: “GOD – THE JUDGE.”

One of the things we know about God is that He is a Judge – God is a Judge!

A Judge is the one who decides the final outcome of a matter. He or she determines how things should rightly be. A Judge is there to defend what is right and Just.

In my opinion, and it may be subject to debate but that is my personal opinion, “Judging is the most Powerful responsibility on Earth.”

And by extension, I believe Judges are the most Powerful People on Earth – They decide between right and wrong on all Natural matters; and Pronounce verdicts on them.

Judges overrule Presidents.

They can just make a verdict and get everybody into trouble.

They are very, very Powerful – It’s a very Powerful Position.

And the Judges of this Earth derive their Power from the Ultimate Judge – God Almighty.

And so, that is what we are going to look at today – God as a Judge of the Universe.

The God who is Creator is also our Judge.

Many times we want to see God as One who loves us, One who is Merciful, full of Grace and all of that – And that is all true of God!

But don’t also forget that this God who is Merciful is also a Judge.

And that, we find also in the Book of Genesis: In “God – Part 5” I quoted from Genesis 1:4-5, but I looked at a different aspect of God and His Works.

Today we are referencing the same Bible Text; and we are going to look at God as Judge.

Genesis 1:4-5 (NKJV)

4 And God saw the Light, that it was Good; and God divided the Light from the Darkness.

5 God called the Light Day, and the Darkness He called Night. So the Evening and the Morning were the first Day.

… God is the Judge of His Works!

I made the same Statement in Part 5 but did not expand on it very much.

The idea of God as a Judge is not something that comes up later in the Bible. As I said, the Book of Genesis is very, very important (especially Genesis Chapter 1).

Because all the important Doctrines about God are in Genesis Chapter 1.

Later on, they are expanded in the rest of the Scriptures. But right from Genesis 1, we see God that He is Eternal, a Creator, a Spirit, His Works are Good and we see that He is also a Judge – These are very important!

We see also that God is the Word – What we later come to formulate as the Trinity; these are all ideas Present in Genesis 1.

In Genesis 1, God is introducing Himself and He is telling us who He is.

Here we see that God is a Judge – He is a Judge of His Works.

Now, how do we arrive at the idea that God is a Judge, just by reading this Passage?

THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT GENESIS 1:4-5.

There are couple of things I want you to pay attention to:

1. GOD SEES:

God saw the Light that had been made – He sees!

He observes and inspects His Works.

When we say “God sees”, it means that He looks at something and He pays attention to it.

In the context that we are using it in Genesis 1; it means He examined what He had done – God sees!

And it is an idea that you find through Scriptures – That nothing is hidden from God. He sees what is obvious and hidden; and no Creature, Thoughts or Actions can happen without Him seeing it.

That’s the first thing we see about God from this Passage is that He sees.

And whatever we do, He sees.

As a matter of fact, He even sees our Thoughts before they become Actions.

2. GOD CALLS:

He called Light Day.

Not only does He sees the Light, He also calls it.

What does it mean?

It means He names and He identifies things as they are – He sees and He Calls.

God calls Light by its rightful name, and calls Darkness by its rightful name.

God has names for all things – It is also a concept that runs through the Bible.

Not only does God see, but He calls.

He names things, Proclaims things and identifies things.

When God sees sin He doesn’t hide it, and He doesn’t decorate it.

When God sees that you’ve done something wrong, He is not going to massage it – He is going to see it, and He is going to call it as it is.

If you commit Adultery God will call it Adultery – He will not call it a Generational Curse.

If you are jealous and envious, He will call it Covetousness – He will not call it a desire to get.

… He calls things as they are!

Human Beings have a way of messaging things especially in our Community; when ‘Big’ People do bad things we try to rename the bad things.

And these days, we see that even among Preachers, we try to rename what Preachers do.

A Pastor is doing something wrong, we say “Touch not the Anointed.”

A Pastor is committing Adultery you say, Oh don’t touch him, he has Special Grace.

And a lot of that foolishness is settling down in Christianity.

But what does God call the sins of His People?

• He named and called the sin of Adam and Eve – He didn’t hide it.
• He named and called out the sin of Cain.
• He called out the Drunkenness of Noah – The man who redeemed the Human Race.

God didn’t say, for all the Goodness you’ve done, your Drunkenness is nothing. It’s just your own Personal matter. No!

God calls things the way they are.

• He calls out the father of Faith, Abraham who lied, that his wife (Sarah) was just his sister.
• He calls out the Anger of Moses and the murder of Moses.
• He calls out the sins of both Eli and Samuel’s children.
• He calls out the Adultery and the Murderous act of David – The man after God’s Heart.

God doesn’t say well, He is a man after my Heart and so I am not going to see what he wrong.

No! God sees, and He calls!

And don’t ever get deceived that you are so Special to God; that because you give a lot of Tithes and Offering, Fasting and Praying; you are God’s Special – No!

Nobody is God’s Special – He will see and He will call.

… He sees and He calls.

3. GOD DIVIDES:

The Word ‘Divide’ means to separate, and to set things apart.

So God divided the Darkness from the Light.

He saw it, He called it, He separated it.

It’s all Part of God’s Judgement – He sees, He calls, He divides or separates or sets things apart.

And this is also an idea that continues throughout Genesis and throughout the Scriptures:

• God separated Abraham from his father’s Land.
• He separated Lot from and Sodom and Gomorrah.
• We see it in the Laws of Moses: The Holy is separated from the Unholy.
• We see it in the Parables of Jesus: The wheat is separated from the tares; sheep are separated from goats.
• We see it in the concept of Judgement in the Book of Revelation: The Righteous are separated from the Abominable.

God does not mix things – He separates them.

When God is going to Judge, He doesn’t judge brackets; He separates and judges – Two travelling together, one would be taken, one would be left.

… God sees, He calls, He separates.

In God’s Judgement, He doesn’t say, Oh you are a Pastor’s son so you are accepted – He separates you from your father.

• Your father’s Righteousness doesn’t cover you.
• Your husband’s Righteousness doesn’t cover you.
• Your wife’s Righteousness doesn’t cover you.
• And your children’s Righteousness doesn’t cover you.

All of you men who don’t Pray but rely on the Prayer of your wife; you think because your wife Prays, God would be Merciful to you – Well, in God’s Judgement, He sees, He calls, He separates.

There is coming a time when God will separate – Our Membership of a Local Church does not give us Salvation. Even in the Church, God will separate People.

Being in Church is Good; but if you don’t belong to Christ when He is coming to Judge, He is going to separate!

Don’t think that belonging to something that is Holy, you become Holy. Or that you belong to the right means you are right – No!

You can be wrong and still belong in the right Group.

Those are the ingredients of God as Judge and we see it right in the Book of Genesis Chapter 1.

God put all these concepts together in the first Judgement that He brought to Mankind.

And the first Judgement was on the first Parents of Human Race – Adam and Eve. They were the first to be Judged.

Now, I want us to go to Genesis 2 and see how “God as Judge” in the concept worked out – Let’s look at how God Judges us.

Genesis 2:9 says, And out of the Ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is Pleasant to the sight and Good for food. The tree of Life was also in the midst of the Garden, and the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Remember, two (2) trees – The tree of Life and the tree of the Knowledge of Good.

Then Genesis 2:16-17 says, And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the Garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

God does not just judge us.

You don’t know what you are doing then God slaps you with Judgement – No!

THERE ARE PROCESSES

When we read the Passage we see the Processes:

1. God gives us Options to Choose from.

This is because He created us to have Freewill.

Freewill allows us to choose and act responsibly – And that’s what enables Human Beings to respond to God’s Word: Either to obey or to disobey.

Human Beings have got a Freewill – We are the Authors of our own Actions.

That is why we are able to sin and that is why we are able to be accountable for our sin.

If we didn’t have Freewill, then there will be no sin; then we will not be judged because it just happened. But we have Freewill.

And Please, listen to me carefully; because there is a lot of very wrong Doctrines all over being taught:

• Bad Doctrines that make People not to be responsible for their Actions.
• Doctrines that make Witches, Ancestrals, Yokes, Principalities, Powers, all kinds of things responsible, except you.

Now, if all of these things were responsible for your Actions, then there was no need for you to be judged because you had no Power.

But we read from the Scriptures that God would give us Options.

Listen carefully, you have Options in Life – You can be Good, you can be Bad; you can be a Fool, you can be Wise; you can be Rich, you can be Poor.

I have always said that Poverty is not by force – We are not poor by accident; we are poor by Choice.

So God would give us Options to choose from.

Freewill is what makes us higher than animals but freewill can also demote us and make us lower than animals – It is a free world!

God gives you options: You can decide which way you want to go.

I call Heaven and Earth as Witnesses today against you, that I have set before you Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing; therefore choose Life, that both you and your Descendants may live (Deuteronomy 30:19).

Your Life is in your hands.

2. He shows us the Best Choice to make.

Although Adam had two (2) Options to choose from, God Pointed him to the Right Choice:

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the Garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” – Genesis 2:16-17

God doesn’t live us to blindly determine what He wants us to do; He Points us to the Right Way.

In addition to Freewill, we have Divine Guidance – “I have given you freewill; but if you want what I want for you, this is it”.

“You have Freewill, but you also know my Choice.” It is not that you have Freedom, and you don’t know what is right or wrong; you have Freedom, and I have told you this is right and this is wrong.

We have Freedom, but God also Points you to what is best for you.

He said to the Children of Israel, I Place before you Life and Death, Blessings and Curses; but choose Life – Deuteronomy 30:19.

In other words, the fact that you have options doesn’t mean He leaves you blind – No! That’s not what He does: “You have options, but this one is better for you.”

You can commit Adultery, but being Faithful is better for you. But if you want to commit Adultery, it’s a Free Choice!

If you want what I want for you, stay with the one you are married to.

3. He tells the Consequences of our Choices.

He said to Adam, “for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Now, some of us want to experiment and see what it is.

You have the Choice of experimenting with your foot for a car to run over. But you know what’s best for you – You know the consequence! “If I put my foot there, I would find out but in the wrong way.”

So why do you want to commit Adultery to find out how it is like?

Why do you want to have sex before Marriage to find out how it is like?

Why do you want to do that?

You will find out as Adam and Eve found out! Because there are some Lessons that doesn’t reach you anything.

You would find out what you want by jumping from a building, but you would learn nothing from that.

There would be no Lesson to be learned, because by the time you find out, you are gone!

Experience is not always the Best Teacher; some times, experience is the worse Teacher in Life.

4. He judges us based on the Choices we make.

By the time we get to God’s Judgement, we would have no one to blame, but ourselves.

God’s Judgement is certain; it does not come suddenly, it comes after we have ignored the Options He gave us, the Guidance He gave us, and the Consequences He told us about.

And if you ignore all of that, then there is none else to blame but to receive the full Judgement of God.

And the Bible says, there is a Day of Judgement coming.

Maybe you’ll say “well, let me find out whether there will be a Day of Judgement” – Do you really want to find out?

Or the People who say, “I will find out when I die.”

Really? Is that when you want to find out?

There are certain things finding out doesn’t help you. Because, by the time you find out, there is no way out – By the time you find out, there is no Redemption.

And some of us are making Choices that we know are wrong.

I am not saying it’s wrong – You know it’s wrong.

How do you know?

You know! God has Pointed it to you.

You say Pastor, how do you know?

Your Conscience told you it’s wrong!

You know it’s wrong, unfortunately like Adam and Eve, when they found out it was too late: they were kicked out of Eden.

And with them, the rest of the Human Race – They found out, but they never went back to Eden.

God who is the Creator, who is the Eternal, the Merciful God, the Kind God, the God of Grace, the God who came in the form of Man to die for us is also the God of Judgement.

And He didn’t become a Judge at the end of the Human Story in the Book of Revelation; He shows us He is a Judge right from Genesis – He judges here on Earth and He judges after Earth.

Some People don’t have Judgement here on Earth – They can escape all Human Judgement but one thing you can never escape is God’s Judgement.

They can never escape it – He sees, He calls, He separates or divides and He judges.

As we live our lives as Christians, all of us get tempted.

The Options of Life be thrown at you – “Of every tree of the Garden you may freely eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

I don’t know about you, but I think with a little Self Control, we can live a far better Life than the lives we are living.

Just a little Self Control – Just a little, “I am not going to do it.” I feel it, but I am not going to do it.

Just like:

• I felt like putting my foot on the road – I never did it.
• I felt like jumping from a building, but I never did.

Have you ever asked yourself, “what will it be like to do a lot of things you’ve never done – To drink Poison, to do all kinds of things but you never did them?

There are many things in your home that can destroy you that you’ve never used to destroy yourself because you have a Will and you exercised Choice not to go that way.

That same Will you use to overcome sin is the same thing.

For some things, People will hail you here on Earth, and God judges you.

For some things, People will judge you on Earth and God will judge you.

The fact that People hail you doesn’t mean God is also hailing you – Your fans are not God’s Fans and God is not in your Fan Club.

It has nothing to do with Witches Ancestral Spirits or whatever Yokes you are carrying, and all kinds of nonsense People are Preaching these days – Taking Personal Responsibilities for our Actions.

ALTAR CALL

So today, before I Close: If you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you know your Life is not right before God.

There are lots of People living two-timing Christian lives – They love God, but they love the world too. They do this right, that right.

And then there are People who have never given their lives to Jesus Christ.

If you are a Christian and your Christian Life has been wishy-washy, in and out, inconsistent.

You say you are a Christian, but you are doing all the wrong things and you know it’s wrong!

No Pastor says this is wrong, you know it is wrong because God Pointed His finger on your head and your conscience judges you.

You are a Christian but you are living that Double Life. Or you’ve never given your Life to Jesus Christ; you always say Oh! I think I can live my own Life – There is Judgement Coming.

PRAYER

I just want us to Pray a Simple Prayer for God’s Forgiveness and for a New Life in Christ Jesus – That Christ would come into our lives and make us Brand New People.

Every eyes close, every head bow;

If you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you’re saying Pastor, I want to give my Life to Jesus; I want to be Born Again, I want a New Life in Christ, I want Christ to be the Lord of my Life.

Or you say Pastor, I gave my Life to Christ but my own Christian Life is not Stable. I want to really make a re-dedication of my Life to God. I am re-dedicating my Life to live a Consistent Life.

If you fall into any of these Categories of People, just lift your right hand wherever you are now.

And Point one hand on your heart and say with me:

Heavenly Father; I come to You today just as I am. I have sinned against You and my own Conscience.

I ask You Father; have Mercy on me, forgive me, wash me and Cleanse me with the Blood of Jesus.

From today, I ask You for Grace to live for You. Help me to do Your Will. Give me the Will, give me the Power, give me the Ability to make the Right Choice and stay with it

I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Saviour and I Thank You for Your Free Gift of Salvation.

In Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

RCCG FESTIVAL OF LIFE CONFERENCE 2024, GOPASS ARENA, BRATISLAVA SLOVAKIA

THEME: LET THERE BE LIGHT

MINISTERING: PASTOR (MRS) FOLU ADENIKE ADEBOYE (MOTHER IN ISRAEL, RCCG)

DATE: 14TH APRIL, 2024

BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 1: 1-3

SONG

Hallelujah!
That’s what my Song will be
That’s what my Song will be
That’s what my Song will be.

Kindly be Seated!

This is my desire and I believe that it is the same thing with you – That “Hallelujah” will be your Song after this Meeting.

I sincerely want to rejoice with my Sister who has given her Testimony of Healings – Two (2) years ago, she was not with us Physically but today, we can see her Hale and Hearty.

She has added to our Joy because the husband can find her by his side.

Tonight, is the Night of Light!

We have been hearing of Light over the years.

I used to ask myself when there is any Message – I want to add more Virtues to my Life.

So, I believe that you too are here for Light!

Genesis 1:1-3:

1. In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.
2. And the Earth was without form, and void; and Darkness was upon the face of the Deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be Light: and there was Light.

The Bible tells us in that Bible Text – Most especially in Verse 2 (Genesis 1:2) – That the Earth was without form from the beginning and void and Darkness was upon the face of the Deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

… The Spirit moved before God Spoke – That is the “Power House” for God Himself.

And God said: “Let there be Light and there was Light!”

And the Bible says that He looked at the Light and said that it was Good!

… That is what we are all here for tonight!

There is no measure for the Light that you can carry because in the beginning; the Light was not measured.

They didn’t tell us the Mega or whatever is the Light – There was no Measurements.

So it depends on all of us here tonight.

I don’t know how much Light you want to carry home but for me, after this Meeting, you will see me dazzling in the Light of the Living God – Amen.

And let’s see what happened?

The Bible tells us that before that Light, there was Darkness upon the face of the Earth.

Today, very feasible all over; even in our Neighbourhood – From all the News we watch all over from the Television, and what we read in Journals; everything is talking about Darkness.

And the Lord Pronounced you and I in Matthew 5:16 that we are the Light of the world.

Matthew 5:16 – Let your Light so Shine before men, that they may see your Good works, and Glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

I always tell People – Once God says it, then it is the Truth.

Are you sincerely the Light off the world?

I don’t want to say that you are the Opposite – Tell yourself that: I am indeed the Light of the world.

So, what I’m going to tell you tonight is that: When the Preacher comes up and the Spirit of God starts to move – “Catch your Light!”

And by the time you move out of this Place; you will become a Terror to Darkness!

And that which God had Called you for; you will begin to Manifest it!

Tell your Neighbour – I don’t know about you but I am the Light of the world

So shall it be – Amen!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

THEME: LET THERE BE LIGHT

MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

DATE: 14TH APRIL, 2024

BIBLE TEXT: MARK 10: 46-52

Let’s lift our hands to the Almighty God and Worship Him – Give Him all the Glory, all the Honour and all the Adoration.

Bless the King of Kings, bless the Lord of Lords, bless His Holy Name.

Worship Him and let Him hear your voice – Tell Him you Love Him and Appreciate Him.

Thank You Father.

In Jesus Mighty Name we Worship – Amen!

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

Almighty God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the All Sufficient God, the Great Saviour, the Great Healer, the Great Deliverer – Glory be to Your Holy Name. Accept our Worship!

Tonight in this Great Nation, Glorify Your Name and let there be Light.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

The Bible says in the Book of Acts 8: 5-8 that Philip went down to Samaria and he Preached Christ to them and there was Great Joy in the City,

The Number One (1) Evidence of Revival is Joy!

And you saw a little bit of it here today!

We have been Praying for Revival – If you don’t like Joy then don’t Pray for Revival because when Revival comes; there will be Great Joy!

And whether the devil likes it or not, there will be Great Joy in this Nation – Amen!

I want to Thank God for all my Great Brothers and Sisters who has been joining hands together.

I Thank God for the Testimony of my Sister – You could see her jumping.

… Ha, that’s what God does – When you receive a Miracle from God, you can’t hide it.

Why should People go to the Football Field to shout and then come to the Presence of God and they can’t shout?

I want to Prophesy to Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – From today onwards, there will be Joy in your Life (Amen).

Mark 10:46-52:

46. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with His Disciples and a Great number of People, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have Mercy on me.
48. And many charged him that he should hold his Peace: but he cried the more a Great deal, Thou Son of David, have Mercy on me.
49. And Jesus stood still, and Commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of Good Comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50. And he, casting away his Garment rose, and came to Jesus.
51. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy Faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Let there be Light means several things:

1.. It means: “Let God be Merciful to me”.

Bartimaeus was crying for Mercy and we all need Mercy.

The Bible says that it is of the Mercy of the Lord that we are not Consumed.

Left to the devil, there will be Nobody left in this Nation calling the Name of Jesus – There will be None at all but God is Merciful.

The Bible tells us that He is Rich in Mercy,

And only if we receive Mercy from Him tonight, then Revival will come!

Romans 9:: 15-16, the Almighty God said in His Words – It is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that showeth Mercy,

We can do everything that we like – We can Struggle, we can hold Meetings etc. But if God does not show us Mercy, then we will not achieve anything!

So tonight, we are going to cry to God for Mercy!

Oh, Somebody will say that the Pastor Prayed for me and I got a Miracle.

It is not the Prayer of the Pastor but it is the Mercy of God!

If the Pastor Prays and God does not answer; what can you do?

You can’t arrest Him – The One you have to arrest, you have to see Him first.

How can you arrest God?

If He shows you Mercy, your “Little Efforts” will bring about Great Results.

And I know that there is Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC who needs the Mercy of God!

Who is that Fellow? – The DMC Family Members!

Let me hear you say: God have Mercy on me!

2. Let there be Light means: “Let God hear me when I cry”.

Bartimaeus cried to God!

And many atimes, we Pray and we don’t even know whether God hears or not.

But He is going to here Somebody here tonight – Amen!

Because when He hears, He will do Mighty Things!

In Jeremiah 33:3; He says: Call on me and I will answer you and I will show you Great and Mighty Things.

If God hears us tonight, Miracles will happen – Amen!

So, is there anybody here tonight; who will join me and say: God, Please hear me tonight!

3. Let there be Light means from the Story we heard is that while Bartimaeus was crying, the crowd told him to shut up.

They say: You Beggar, who told you that God will give you a Miracle?

But Jesus Christ “Stood Still” – He Stood for Bartimaeus.

And if God will Stand for you, He will Silence all your Enemies!

Those who are saying: Bartimaeus shut up; they were many but Jesus was only one Jesus – He Stood Up for Bartimaeus and Silence all the Oppositions.

Tonight, God is going to Stand Up – Stand Up for you, Stand Up for your Family, Stand Up for your Ministries, and Stand Up for your Nation (Amen).

Do I hear Someone say: God Stand Up for us?

When Jesus Stood Up and when He Stood Still; the whole Universe Stood Still.

The Bible says: Let God arise and all His Enemies will be Scattered (DMC NOTES: Psalms 68:1).

Today in this Land, there are many Enemies of the Gospel:

• All manners of Philosophies.
• All manners of New Age.

Trying to Silence the Voice of Christianity but when God arises, all His Enemies will scatter!

Do I hear Someone shout: “God arise for me!’

4. The Next Thing let there be Light means is: “Lord send Help to me”.

Jesus Christ Stood Still and turned to the Enemies of Bartimaeus – The ones who has been trying to Silence him and He said: “Go and bring him”.

When God arises for you, He will turn your Enemies to your Servants!

The ones who are saying “Shut Up”; God says No, you go and bring him.

… Go and be his Servants!

And you know the interesting thing is that – The same People saying “Shut Up”; began to Prophesy to him!

They told him – “Be of Good Cheers, He is calling you and your Sorrows will soon be over!

… When He rises up for you, He will send Help to you.

I’m Prophesying to Somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – This very Night, God will send Help to you (Amen)!

The Bible says in Psalms 121: 1-2 – He said that: I will lift up my eyes to the Hills, from whence cometh my Help? My Help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth,

5. And then the Next Thing is that: God answered the Prayer of Bartimaeus!

When you say: Let there be Light; you are saying not only will God hear me but He will grant my Requests.

PROPHESY:

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

He asked me to tell you to be of “Good Cheers” because He will take care of the crisis in your Life!

I don’t know who the Fellow is – You have crisis in your Family; God says: Don’t worry, He will take care!!!

When you cry unto God; it is one thing for Him to hear, it is another thing for Him to answer!

And He says in His Words in John 14:14 – If you ask anything in my Name, I will do it.

Every Prayers you Pray here tonight, the Almighty God will answer you – Amen!

6. And then when God brought Bartimaeus unto Himself, He said unto him: What do you want?

And he said: I want my eyes to be Opened – I want Light to come!

Jesus Christ said unto him:: Your Faith has made you Whole.

Let there be Light means: Oh Lord, Honour my Faith.

You came here tonight because you have Faith – You believed that God will do something Special for you.

And in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, you will not be Disappointed – Amen!

That which you are believing God for, God will do it for you tonight – Amen!

… Let me Close with this one:

7. After God healed Bartimaeus – After He opened his eyes, after He honoured his Faith; the Bible says that Bartimaeus followed Jesus Christ in the way!

Let there be Light means: Lord, let me follow you all the way, and don’t let me fail at the end of Day.

Once upon a time, Majority of the People in this Land were following Jesus Christ. But something happened, and they were no longer following Him.

But tonight, when God sends His Light He will turn the Tides and He will bring the Backsliders back to Himself.

But when that is happening, God don’t let me Backslide – Help me to follow you all the way.

Let there be Light and all manners of things will happen:

I. Let there be Light and Joy will filled our Hearts.

II. Let there be Light and God will answer our Prayers.

III. Let there be Light, God will arise for us.

IV. Let there be Light and Joy will Overflow.

V. Let there be Light and whatever we are believing God for; He will do for us.

VI. But more than anything else, let there be Light means we will follow Jesus Christ all the way – And that is the most important thing of all.

ALTAR CALL

But there are some People here, Jesus Christ is sending me to you.

He says: Come!

• Come over to me and I will Change your Darkness to Light.
• Come to me, and I will Change your Sickness to Health.

THANKSGIVING

And so as it is our Biblical Custom – When God has done something Great for us, we should say Thank You to Him to show our Appreciations. And next time, He will be able to do other Greater Things for us,

So, for the next 2 Minutes, let’s give God a Thanksgiving Offering – Something that will show God that we Appreciate Him.

And then, I will anoint your Handkerchiefs so that long after I have gone, you will have “Anointed Handkerchiefs” such that if there is any “Urgent Need,” you can wave that Handkerchief to God and Miracle(s) will come.

After that, we will have the Final Blessings.

Now, when I ask you to lift up your Handkerchiefs; you can lift up your Jackets or any Piece of Cloth if you don’t have Handkerchief.

Raise it up and I’m going to ask God to saturate it with Anointing.

SPECIAL PRAYERS OF ANOINTING OVER HANDKERCHIEFS AND CLOSING PRAYER

Father Almighty, I want to bless Your Holy Name.

Thank You for what You have done here today; and Thank You because I know that our tomorrow will be alright.

Please, accept our Thanks.

All these Pieces of Clothes lifted up to You; Father saturate them with Your Power so much that wherever they are used: Yokes will be destroyed, Miracles will happen, Prayers will be Answered by Fire, Darkness will Change to Light, Sickness will Change to Health, Sorrow will Change to Joy and everytime they cried to You, You will answer by Fire.

Thank You Almighty God.

Now, bless the Offering of Your Children, use it for Your Glory and don’t let them ever backslide again.

In this Land, let Your Light continue to Shine.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Now, I want you to wave that Piece of Cloth so that the devil will know that he has lost the battle over you!

And for just 2 or 3 Minutes, go ahead and shout Hallelujah to God – HALLELUJAH!!!!

Ezekiel 37:1-10

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Let me start by Prophesying to you that it shall be well with you today – Amen.

LET THE WIND BLOW

In our Bible Text today (Ezekiel 36:1-10) we can bring out several Points. But let us be quick and take just a few of them:

1. There is a God who can Reverse the Irreversible:

There is a God who can cause dry bones to live again; there is a God who can stop the Unstoppable.

In Joshua 10:12-14, the God of Joshua stopped the Sun from setting.

He even did greater things in Isaiah 3:1-8 – He caused the Sun to retrace its steps.

He Reversed the Irreversible.

That same God is the One you have come to meet tonight – Every Opportunities you have lost shall be brought back to you (Amen).

In 2 Kings 6:1-7 the Bible tells us a Story of some sons of the Prophet who were cutting down trees and the axe head fell into the river.

The sons of the Prophet couldn’t swim, so there’s no way they could go down and begin to look for the axe head.

But there is a God who can make the axe head float.

I don’t know for whom tonight’s Gathering has been organised; but surely there is someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC who has lost an Opportunity that Humanly speaking is gone forever. The God that can make the axe head to float will bring that opportunity back to you – Amen.

There is a God who can Change No to Yes.

In Exodus 5:1-2, when Moses said to Pharaoh, Let my People go so they might serve the Lord.

Pharaoh said, I don’t know the Lord, I will not let the Children of Israel go.

But when the God you have come to meet tonight intervened; by the time we got to Exodus 12:38-36, the same Pharaoh called the Children of Israel and said to them, Please go very quickly and bless me also.

I want to Prophesy to somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, that all those who have been blocking your way; they will open the door for you to go – Amen.

In John 2:1-11, the Bible says there was a Wedding in Cana of Galilee, and they ran out of wine. The People told the mother of Jesus, and she came to Him: Son, the People here need a Miracle. Jesus said, Mama, my time for a Miracle hasn’t come. But less than one (1) hour later, the one who said “it’s not yet time” made sure it was time.

If there is anything in your Life that even God Himself Planned would only happen years from now; in the Name that’s above every other name I Prophesy, your time would come tonight – Amen.

So, there’s a God who can Reverse the irreversible: that is Number one (No. 1).

2. Bones Located Bones:

When the Wind blew, the Bible says, bones located bones.

I have Good News for my children – I heard Mummy GO Praying for those of you who should be married by now but are not yet married;

Because you are here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, bones would locate bones – Amen.

I. In other words, when you consider Genesis 2:18-23, after God had Performed the Miracle, by operating on Adam – Taking a bone out of the rib of his side; And out of that bone formed a woman.

As soon as Adam saw Eve he said: Ha! This must be the bone of my bone.

He was asleep when the Operation was going on. But when the Operation was completed, his eyes opened and he recognized the bone of his bone.

As a result of tonight’s Meeting, there will be many Weddings; Bones will find bones – Amen.

And when you consider the Story of two (2) different People – Isaac for one, Jacob for another. You know the Story very well.

Jacob served fourteen (14) years before he got the wife he really wanted. Seven (7) years first, and the father-in-law Played a trick on him and gave him the fellow he didn’t serve for.

But because he was so much in love with the Particular girl he wanted to marry, he served for another seven (7) years. So, it took him fourteen (14) years to really, really get the Love of his heart.

But When you read Genesis 24:63-67, Isaac went on a stroll and he returned home with a wife. Because the Almighty God had worked it out behind the scene.

Believe me honestly, before the end of this Month (April 2024), a boy would meet a girl; a girl would meet a boy, at the direction of the Almighty.

… Remember to send me the Invitation – Even if I can’t come, at least I can Pray with you.

But it is more than that! Bone meeting bone is much more than a boy and a girl getting married.

When God wanted to Provide a woman for Adam He said, it is not Good that the man should be alone. I will make a Help Meet for him.

Let me Prophesy to somebody: Your Period of Loneliness is over – Amen.

II. Bones located bones is actually saying, Let God send help to me.

There’s someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC who would be like, to whom God is going to send Help?

Psalms 121:1-2 says: I will lift up mine eyes unto the Hills, from whence cometh my Help. My Help cometh from the LORD, which made Heaven and Earth.

Any of you that may be in any kind of trouble I decree, God will send Help to you – Amen.

So, when the Wind blows on the dry bones;

• The first Lesson we’ve learnt is that there is a God who can reverse the irreversible.
• The Second Lesson, Bones can come to bones. Implying that God would send Help to those who are in need of Help.

But that’s not all. As soon as the Bones come to bones, the Bible tells us;

3. Flesh covered the Bones.

In other words, the God of all flesh showed up!

Tonight, as the Wind blows, the God of all flesh will show up for Someone – Amen.

Being the God of all flesh with whom nothing shall be impossible, He is saying; when the Wind blows the Impossible would become Possible.

Which is why I want to say with all boldness: My case would not be impossible with God – Amen.

But it is actually saying, if the God all flesh should show forth, it means:

I. There would be Healings – Miraculous Healings.

Like in Mark 3:1-5, it tells us the Story of somebody whose hand had withered.

When the God of all flesh appeared, the withered hand was restored whole.

Or it could be something much more, as in Mark 2:1-12. It is the case of a man who was Paralysed from neck downwards, and they brought him through the roof to the Lord Jesus Christ. And because He is the God of all flesh, He spoke just one Word and the fellow became Completely whole.

In other words, it doesn’t matter where your Sickness may be today – From your head to your toes, I Prophesy, be made Whole (Amen).

II. When we say, the God of all flesh, He could recreate something that has been completely destroyed.

He could even give you something that you didn’t get when you were coming into the world – He can give you brand new brain, brand new eyes; anything you lost and you want it back.

That’s Good News for those of you who are Old – Everything that has degenerated in your body; as my God lives, by this time of tomorrow, you would already get brand new Spare Parts (Amen).

You Probably have heard the Story before – There was a Young man who was born with only one (1) testicle. And the Parents who were concerned, took him to some Native Doctors to help.

And in the Process of trying to help, they destroyed the only testicle he had – Which automatically mean, he could not Produce children. But for one reason or the other he still went ahead and got married.

… And the result of course, was that his wife was barren.

Thank you Father!

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

He says, the Destroyer destroying your body has been driven out – Amen.

And so this Young man came to a Program that we held in a Place called Yaba (Lagos Nigeria). And as the Word of God was going on, God spoke and said there’s someone here ….

And the boy jumped for Joy because he suddenly felt something down there. Before the Program was over he came to Testify that he had two (2) brand new Testicles.

Before someone goes out of here today or complete reading this Message on the Label of DMC, the Spare Part that you need will be delivered to you – Amen.

My Daddy assured me that the Prayers Prayed here tonight, many of them would be answered by Fire – Amen.

“The flesh covered the Bones” means a little more than the God of all flesh simply showing up.

III. It actually means that when the Wind blows, God will cover your Nakedness.

Because when the flesh covered the Bones, the Nakedness of the dry bones became covered.

And God has always been in the business of covering.

In Genesis 3:21, when Adam and Eve sinned and they discovered they were naked, God covered them.

There’s somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, it doesn’t matter how hard the devil may try; your Nakedness would be covered – Amen.

Thank You Father.

The Lord says there’s somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said, one day your family would say, “we Thank God for you” – Amen.

Thank you Father!

The Lord asked me to add to what I just said:

He says, All Members of your family would look up to you for Help – Amen.

That means you would be the “Number One Go-To-Person” in your family – Amen.

In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the Bible tells us the Story of a Widow of a son of the Prophet.

She knew how to speak the Language of Christians – Anytime anybody asked, woman how are you? She would say, Oh! The Lord is Good. How are things? Oh! Glory be to God, I am blessed and highly favoured.

But she was in Problem – She was highly in debt.

Until one day the Creditors said, “you don’t pay is by tomorrow, we will sell your children.”

The Secret was about to be out – Her Shame was about to be known to everyone.

Because she won’t be able to say “all is well” when People ask “where are your sons?” She won’t be able to shout hallelujah when the sons have been sold to Slavery.

But within a Single Day, the God who can cause the Wind to blow, caused it to blow in her favour.

By the time the Creditors came back in the Evening (in fact, I am sure she sent for them) she had enough to pay them off, and had enough to live comfortably for the rest of her Life.

Is there anybody today in debt right here in our midst or reading now on the Label of DMC?

In the Name that’s above every other name, in a way you cannot understand, God will pay your debt – Amen.

And then when you consider 2 Kings 5:1-14, it tells us the Story of Naaman.

His own shame could not be hidden – He was a Great man, Successful and rich. But he was a Leper.

He couldn’t hide his Problems.

There are some of us who have Problems we cannot hide – Things our beautiful Clothes cannot cover. Everyone knows us by that Problems.

For Example, up till today, if you ask any child, do you know Naaman? The child would say, Naaman the leper? Even though he had been healed thousands of years ago, they still associate him with Leprosy.

There are some of us who are associated with a certain Problem – Some of us left home to come to this Land. We have not been able to go back home because if we arrive one day, they would say, “you’ve been gone all these years, what have you brought back?”

There are some of us who have Problems which we can’t hide.

But there is a God who can cover shame – He covered the shame of Naaman Permanently.

I don’t know how God will solve your Problem; the Story in our Bible Text (Ezekiel 37:1-10) is the Story of a Prophet who said, I don’t how this Problem can be Solved.

And his God said to him, I am not asking you to think how you will solve the Problem – All I am asking you to do is Prophesy.

So, Pastor Adeboye does not know how God will solve your Problems; but tonight I am going to sit in the Office of a Prophet and I am going to Prophesy into the Life of somebody:

Every Reproach in your Life shall be gone before tomorrow – Amen.

Some of you Probably heard the Story of a Single Lady with only one son. The son had Epilepsy.

And back home where I came from (Nigeria), we associate Epilepsy with Demons. If somebody is having it, you better run away. Because if he recovers in your Presence, you would catch epilepsy (Laughter)!

This Single Lady would go and rent a house, everything would go well until the child has a feat and they would drive them out of the house, because they don’t want the son to spread Epilepsy to the other children.

So, she would leave one house and go to a Place where she is not known. And all would be well until the child has a feat, and then they would drive them out again.

Then one day, she was going to the Market and in the very center of the town, where the crowd had gathered, the child had a feat. And everybody saw what was happening – So the Secret is out now. Everybody fled!

And the woman grabbed the child and lifted her eyes unto Heaven and said, Oh GOD, my Secret is out. It’s only You and I now, everybody have fled. God Please, send help to me.

And God heard her Prayer! Right there in the Streets, the child was Completely Whole.

Is anybody here in need of urgent Help today? Can you lift your voice to the Almighty God and say LORD, help me.

And I Prophesy, He will Help you – Amen.

When the Wind blows it means; God can reverse the irreversible. Bones can find bones. God can send help. God can cover shame.

… But it means much more!

4. It means God can Restore Hope.

Because those dry bones, the Bible said Specifically that they were not just dry, they were very dry!

The situation was so Hopeless that the Man of God even looked at it and said, God I can’t believe anything can happen to these dry bones. But there is a God who Restores Hope to the Hopeless.

There is a God, when the whole world says there’s nothing more that can be done; who would say Oh! That’s man talking.

Thank you Father!

The Lord says there’s someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said, very, very soon, even your Enemy will call you a Winner – Amen.

Jesus Christ said, the things that are Impossible with man are Possible with God.

He said, for with God Nothing shall be Impossible.

In Ecclesiastes 9:4 the Bible says the Living Dog is better than a Dead Lion.

People may look down on you and consider you a dog. But you are not dead yet, you are still breathing.

The Bible says in Psalms 150:6, let everything that has breath Praise the Lord!

Several years ago, some People travelled from Lagos Nigeria to Zaria (Northern Nigeria) for Cultural Show. On their way back they had a motor accident. All them died except one man who was not dead, but was so badly injured. He was in a very deep comma.

The Doctors were taking care of him in the Hospital. Once in a while he would come up and shout Jesus! And then he would relapse again, day after day.

The Doctors saw no hope for him, but they couldn’t bury him because he was still breathing.

Then on day he shouted Jesus, one more time and opened his eyes and was healed instantly.

Are you still breathing? Do you believe that your tomorrow would be alright? Let me hear you shout JESUS!

Thank You Father!

Now, this one is for me. So I would say Amen before I tell you.

The Lord says there is someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said, your Showers of Blessing would begin now, and would not stop in a hurry – Amen.

So, when the Wind blows, it means God can restore Hope to the hopeless.

… And not just that;

5. When the Wind blows, God can Restore Destinies.

The dry bones were once upon a time, an Army. The Purpose of an Army is to March to War. But something happened, a whole Army Perished on the Valley: The Purpose for their lives was gone. Their Destinies destroyed.

But then the Wind blew! Dry bones became an Army again, ready to march to War.

In Mark 5:2-20, the Bible tells us the Story of an Madman who was so mad, even Mad People ran away from him.

But then the Wind blew, and the God of all flesh came to his direction and drove a Legion of demons out of him.

And this Madman became an Evangelist.

When God created him, it was to be an Evangelist but the Enemy stepped in and truncated his Destiny; filled him with demons.

But when the Wind blew, the Demons were brushed aside; and the Original Destiny of this Madman was restored.

I know you were born for a Purpose – The Word of God makes it clear that even before He formed you, He knew you, and He had a Plan for your Life (Jeremiah 1:5).

You yourself can Testify that when you were Younger you had Great Hopes.

You could see yourself doing Mighty things.

Something within you told you that you are a Child of Destiny; that God has Mighty Plans for you.

But then years passed and things are not working out the way you expected.

That’s the reason why some of us ‘JAPA’ (laughter).

We think okay, if things are not working back home, let’s try Greener Pastures.

And then we got to where we thought the Grass was Green, and we discover the Green is not really Grass by Plastic (laughter). And going back home becomes difficult.

I have Good News for you: The God I serve will Restore your Destiny – Amen.

I know a man who back in Nigeria was a Bank Manager – He had an Official Driver and other Domestic Staff. But Packed all up and decided to ‘JAPA.’ Few Years later he was still Struggling. But then God intervened.

The God who intervened in the Life of that Young man will intervene in your Life tonight – Amen!

…So God can restore Destinies when the Wind blows.

One of the Greatest Examples you would find is that of Esau – You know the Story of Esau very well.

In Genesis 28:30-40, the Bible tells us that while Esau was looking for some meat so he could Prepare food for his father (Isaac), his brother came from behind, stole his Blessings.

By the time Esau came his father said, I have already blessed your brother. And he shall be blessed, I can’t reverse the Blessing. Esau cried and said, Papa, don’t you have any blessing left?

When his father began to speak, I don’t even know whether it is a Blessing or a Curse. Because he said, I have already made him your lord, the opportunity is gone son!

But there is a God who can Change even a Curse to a Blessing.

Because by the time you get to Genesis 42:1-8, when Jacob was going home and he heard that Esau was coming to meet him, they said, your brother is coming with four hundred (400) Body Guards.

Jacob shook his head and trembled – The one who was blessed trembled when he heard that the one who missed the Blessing was coming.

The Almighty God has so much Power that He can even Change a Curse to a Blessing.

By the time we get to Genesis 33:1-9, after Esau and Jacob met, they hugged and wept. Esau said, what’s the meaning of all these animals you sent ahead of you? Jacob said, I’m just trying to find favour with you. Esau said, keep your own; I have more than enough!

I Pray for someone today, even if your Original Destiny is to be less than Nothing; in the Name that’s above every other name, you shall be Great – Amen.

Everything I’ve mentioned already, and one or two more that I will still mention, Please take Note of them.

This is for me; but I have to share it so that some of you would know.

The Lord asked me to tell someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC to Relax!

He said, tell them: those who honour you as their father, I will give them a Special Touch tonight – Amen.

6. When the Wind blows Prophecies are Fulfilled.

That is what God asked the Man of God to do – He said, Prophesy.

The Bible says in Psalms 33:8-9, Let all the Earth fear the LORD: let all the Inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

The Prophecies that have been coming to you tonight, do not joke with them – My God does not joke.

When He speaks, it is done!

Numbers 23:19 says, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:

So, Prophecies get fulfilled! And some Prophecies have gone out tonight.

As sure as the Sun would rise tomorrow, the Prophecies would be fulfilled – Amen.

But the one with which I am going to Close with tonight, so that you can have time to Pray is that; the Man of God was asked to Prophesy Three (3) Times.

He Prophesied the first time, bones came to bones; flesh covered the Bones.

But the work was not Complete – So God said, Prophesy again.

Halleluyah!

… I have already said Amen to this one.

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

He said, one day you will Sing – Amen!

And the Song would be:

What the Lord has done for me, I cannot tell it all.
What the Lord has done for me, I cannot tell it all.
What the Lord has done for me, I cannot tell it all.
He saved me and washed me in His Blood.

So I can shout Halleluyah
I can shout Halleluyah
I can shout Praise the Lord.

So I can shout Halleluyah
I can shout Halleluyah
I can shout Praise the Lord!

If you are the one He is talking to, let me hear you shout Halleluyah – Halleluyah.

7. When the Wind blows, God can make sure that whatever He does is Perfectly done.

Like in the Story in Mark 9:22-25, the Bible says they brought a man to Jesus. The man had a Problem with his sight. Jesus took him aside, spat on the Ground, touched his eyes and said, tell me, what do you see? And the man said, I see men like trees. Jesus said, that’s not Good enough! He gave him a Second touch and the man said now I can see Perfectly.

In the Name of the One who sent me, somebody would get a Second touch tonight – Amen.

In Genesis 12:1-3, God had Prophesied to Abraham, I am going to bless you. I am going to make you Greater, you are going to be a Blessing, and so on and so forth.

But then in Genesis 22:1-18 God Prophesied to Abraham a Second time – This time He said, by Myself have I sworn.

In other words, He was saying to Abraham, it doesn’t matter what you do from now; this Blessing is going to be Permanent.

A Second Prophecy swallows the first.

Of what use is an Army of dead bodies?

Okay, the bones were already covered with flesh – What we have now, Instead of dry bones, we have dead corpses.

And then, the Second Prophecy came, and the Wind blew.

I’ll tell you one Story and it would be time to Pray.

God gave us a Camp Ground in the United States of America several years ago – A hundred and fourteen (114) Hectares. My children took me to see the Land – It was just and open farmland. I was glad.

How can a small Church in Nigeria come and have a Camp Ground of a hundred and fourteen (114) Hectares in America?

I was so full of Joy that when my children took me there I told them you can go leave me here tonight, come back for me in the morning. So they left a bus and went home.

I got out of the bus and was walking up and down the farmland Praising God. There was full Moonlight.

As I was going round, there was a farm next to our Land. And there was a big house there.

All of a sudden God spoke to me and said son, that’s your house. Ha! It’s not in our Land.

Thank You Lord.

God spoke a Second time and said, son look to your right, your left, forward and backwards – All the Land you can see I’ve given it to you.

When my children came back the following Morning and I told them about the house, they said Daddy, Please don’t say that because if that man hears what you are saying, he will shoot you.

First of all they laughed at me.

That’s why I’m always glad when People are laughing at me – It means my God is about to do something awesome!

Today, we have more than eight hundred (800) Hectares of Land in USA.

You’ve received all kinds of Prophecies tonight, add them together and we would treat them as the first Prophecy. A Second Prophecy is coming your way.

Thank you Father!

The Lord says there’s someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:

He said, I will do something so Mightily, until you say to God, this is becoming too much – Amen.

How many of you can receive that one? The DMC Family Members!

Let me hear you shout a really big Halleluyah – Halleluyah!

Now let me Close!

There is something serious about this Particular Passage (Ezekiel 37:1-10).

And this is;

8. Whenever the Wind blows God can control the Wind.

When Mummy GO was Praying for us, she was talking about what happened in Exodus 14 – The Crossing of the Red Sea.

If you look at that Story, you would discovered that the Wind that blew a Path for the Children of Israel is also the same wind that caused the Egyptian Army to drown.

When we are asking the Wind to Blow, it depends on whose side you are.

The Wind can Blow in your Favour and it can blow against you – It all depends on whose side you are on.

Interestingly, God told us on 1st January 2024 that the Wind is already blowing, and that there is nothing we can do to stop it.

The Wind is already blowing, only allow it to Blow in your favour.

And it will only Blow in your favour if you are on the side of God.

Because the Almighty God is not going to bless a Sinner who is going to use His Blessing to commit more sin.

God is not going to Prosper a man who would use the Prosperity to fornicate and commit Adultery.

He will not be a Holy God if He blesses someone who is up to fraud – If He blesses fraud that will be God encouraging others to commit fraud.

The Wind is already blowing, the Question is, how is it going to blow to you?

ALTAR CALL

That is why if are here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC and you are not yet on the side of the Lord! If you are not absolutely sure of your Salvation.

Of you are not sure you are truly Redeemed – That you are Born Again, that you belong to God.

I beg you to do now and we will cry to Jesus Christ to save your Soul; so that when the Wind begins to blow it will blow in your favour.

If you are a Backslider, return to God today.

The Wind is already blowing – Come to Jesus so it can blow in your favour.

… Thank you those of you who are clapping; your hands will never wither – Amen.

If you are a Backslider come back to Jesus – There is still room for you in His Family.

Okay! Cry to Jesus Christ, ask Him to be Merciful unto you. To Please, save your Soul. Ask Him to forgive all your sin and Promise Him that from now on you will serve Him and that you will do His Will will.

And the rest of us, let’s stretch our hands and intercede for them, that God will grant them Genuine Salvation; that from today onwards they will be True Children of God.

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

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

My Father and my God I want to Thank You.

Thank You for Your Word. And Thank You for all the People who have just Genuinely Surrendered their lives to you today.

And from now on, anytime they cry unto You Father, Please answer them by Fire.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Now I want to rejoice with those of you who have Genuinely Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ today; because from now on by the Grace of God I’ll be Praying for you.

So I am going to need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.

God Bless You!

Is there anyone tonight who has been blessed at all, and you feel we should say Thank You to the Lord? Yes, DMC Family Members!

THANKSGIVING

We would take our Thanksgiving Offering (check details for Online Giving).

The Musicians would Play, and we would give to God Cheerfully – Showing Him that we appreciate Him.

After that, we will Anoint your Handkerchiefs and Pieces of Cloth and then we would give you the Final Blessing.

Over to you Musicians!

Thank You! God will receive your Praises – Amen.

ANOINTING OF HANDKERCHIEFS AND OTHER PIECE OF CLOTHING ITEMS

Take out your Handkerchiefs or whatever Piece of Cloth and raise them to the Almighty God.

If you have Nothing at all, you can take off your Jacket – Just make sure it is a Piece of Cloth.

I am going to Wave my hands

ANOINTING OF HANDKERCHIEFS AND FINAL BLESSING

My Father I want to Thank You!

I want to Thank You because You are very, very Great.

Tonight my Daddy I ask: as I Wave my hand, let the Wind of the Holy Spirit Blow over these Pieces of Clothes.

Every Piece of Cloth lifted to You now, Saturate with Your Anointing; so Mightily, that wherever each one is used;

Yokes will be destroyed; Miracles will happen, and Your Name will be Glorified.

I Pray that You will Seal the Anointing with the Blood of Jesus, so that the Enemy will never be able to interfere.

And when the Miracles begin to happen, let all the Glory be given to You.

Thank You Father!

And Lord, I Present to You the Offering of Your Children: Please, receive it, Sanctify it, Use it for Your Glory.

And I Pray tonight, that Your Wind will Blow away Poverty from Your Children and that Your children will never Lack again.

Because they have given to You tonight, open their own Red Sea, make ways for them where there was no way.

And everything they need to serve You, Provide for them Abundantly.

It shall be well with you! God will move you from Glory to Glory, you will never know Sorrow again and your Joy will Overflow.

From tonight onward, in your Life, there shall be Revival.

In your Homes, there shall be Revival.

In your Cities, there shall be Revival.

In your Nations, there shall be Revival.

And the God I serve will always answer you by Fire.

Anytime I hear concerning you, it will be Good News!

And whenever the Lord Returns, you will not be left behind.

It shall be well with you!

It shall be well with you!!

It shall be well with you!!!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Wave that Handkerchief, so the devil will know he has lost the battle.

And then finally, you will lay that Piece of Cloth on your own head now that the Anointing is fresh and Prophesy to yourself.

You would mention your own name and then you begin to Prophesy.

Say DMC FAMILY MEMBERS; It shall be well with you. You will never know Sickness, Disease, Sorrow, Failure. You will just keep on Succeeding.

The Almighty God will be with you and will take care of you. And it shall always be well with you.

Go ahead, Prophesy to yourself.

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
