    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

    One thing that I want to say straightaway before we Proceed further is that there will be no hurry tonight – We will finish whenever we finished.

    Because this is a Night that you will never forget!

    I need to get some things off my Mind so that we can then settle down.

    1. The September Special Holy Ghost Service (HGS) is for those Trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb,

    It is going to take Place on Friday, 1st September 2023

    So, if you have Relatives that are Trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb, then invite them to come!

    The Theme as my Father told me is: “MULTIPLE WONDERS”.

    So, I’m believing God that out of the next Holy Ghost Service (September HGS); there will be lots of Twins and Triplets – Amen!

    1. By Tomorrow:
    • By 10am, there will be Laying on of Hands both at the Old and New Auditorium.

    — And in the Evening, there will be the Holy Communion Service.

    And it is the Best Part of the Convention.

    … I will see you there!

    1. Last Year (2022), I asked you to help me build more Dormitories – Thank You very much as some of you responded and we built about twenty (20) Dormitories.

    But I discovered that the largest of them, when we put the Double-Decker beds there, they can only take two hundred (200) People.

    That means for two thousand (2,000) People, I need ten (10) Dormitories.

    That means for two Million (2,000,000) People, I’m going to need ten thousand (10,000) Dormitories.

    So, I need a whole lot more of Help for Dormitories!

    So, in this New Year; as many of you that are willing to build Dormitories for us; Please do so very quickly – At least we will have more Dormitories before the December Holy Ghost Congress 2023.

    If you can’t build a Dormitory Singlehandedly, you can link up with a friend or you can send us Money for Dormitories,

    God will continue to bless you – Amen!

    But there is Someone here tonight – Before you leave this Place, you will be surprised by God (Amen)

    GOOD NEWS

    Let me give you some Good News.

    Today, additional seventeen (17) Babies have been born – Ten (10) boys and Seven (7) girls. I told you that the boys will catch up.

    As at now, sixty six (66) babies has been born and the girls are still leading – Thirty one (31) boys and thirty five (35) girls.

    So let the girls shout Praise the Lord and let the boys shout Hallelujah!

    … We are coming and we will catch up!

    I want to Thank God for the Royal Fathers – It was a “Fantastic Choir”. I enjoyed your Song as I heard it in my Prayer Room.

    There will always be Joy in your Kingdom – Amen. And you will be more than this Next Year (2024) – Amen!

    I also want to say Thank You to the Mass Choir – Again, you are Excellent.

    SPECIAL DEDICATION OF BABIES

    CATEGORY 1: Last Year (2022); some People came, Trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb and now the baby has come.

    CATEGORY 2: Two (2) years ago (2021), some People came Trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb, Last Year (2022), by the time they came for the Convention they were Pregnant and so we said that we will wait till the baby arrives.

    So, if you belong to these two (2) Categories, bring your children forward so that we can Pray for them!

    So, whether in the Old or New Auditorium, take your children to the Altar so that we can bless them!

    Ephesians 3:20-21:

    20 Now unto him that is able to do Exceeding Abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us,

    21 Unto him be Glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all Ages, world without end. Amen.

    We want to talk about “BEYOND EXPECTATIONS”.

    PART ONE (1): THEORY.

    Our God is Jehovah El-Shaddai (The God Who is More than Enough) – The God Who can do much more than you can ever think Possible.

    He doesn’t know how to do small things:

    1. For example, He doesn’t stop when your Cup of Blessing is Full – He just keeps on Pouring.

    Psalms 23:5, Thou Preparest a table before me in the Presence of mine Enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

    1. He doesn’t give you little, little Miracles (according to Psalms 68:19): He loads us with Benefits, load full.
    2. He doesn’t stop when all Needs are met – He makes sure there will never be a crisis again.

    In 2 Kings 4:1-7, not only did He pay the debt of the Widow, the Widow had enough to enjoy for the rest of her Life.

    Anytime He is dealing with you, He wants to go the extra Mile.

    By the way, the Almighty God is going to pay the debt of somebody this Month (August) – Amen.

    When in Mark 8:22-25 they brought a blind man to Him and He touched his eyes and asked him “how are you now?” He said I am seeing now, but I am seeing men like trees. He said, that’s not good enough. Come, let me give you another touch.

    And in the Name that’s above every other name, all of you who need a Second Touch will get it tonight – Amen.

    1. He doesn’t just Provide Wine: in the Wedding at Cana of Galilee, He gave the Best Wine (John 2:1-10).

    He wanted to make sure that not only would there be no embarrassment for the Bridegroom; but He wanted to move them from embarrassment to Glory.

    He wanted to be sure that the Wedding would be talked about – Not because wine failed; but that People would be talking about the Wedding where the wine was the best!

    He made a Promise in Joel 2:26-27; He said it again and again that, “My People shall never be ashamed”.

    And I hereby decree in the Name of Jesus – You will never know shame again – Amen.

    Ha! Thank You Daddy.

    The Lord says there is Somebody here tonight, inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC:

    He says, against all Odds, by the time you are coming Next Year (2024), you will come with your Husband – Amen.

    1. But not only that, He has a way of changing shame to Glory.

    In Mark 10:46-52, He turned the embarrassment of Bartimaeus to Glory.

    I mean, he was not just a beggar but a “Hated Beggar”. But at the end of the day, all those who were telling him to shut up, they were the People who came to call him. They said come, He is calling you. Be of Good Cheers!

    I decree in the Name that’s above every other name, all those who have been mocking you; they will come and rejoice with you – Amen.

    1. God is not just a Helper, in Psalms 46:1; the Bible calls Him the Ever Present Help in trouble – Just when you have a crisis, He shows up!

    But He goes beyond that; He is ready to carry you all the way to Safety.

    In Matthew 14:22-33, when Jesus was walking on water and Peter said: “if You are the one, ask me to come” and He said, Come! Peter jumped out of the boat and began to walk towards Jesus.

    The Bible said when he saw the wind boisterous, he became afraid and he began to sink. And then he cried to Jesus and Jesus stretched out His Hands immediately to help him.

    There is somebody here inclusive those reading on the label of DMC – Who is in need of urgent Help. Let me hear you shout, Jesus Help Me!

    … And He will help you – Amen.

    After he grabbed him by the hand before He said anything at all, He had already got his hand; to make sure he won’t sink. Before He now began to say: why did you doubt? And together, hand-in-hand, they walked back to the boat. Peter still walked on water till he got to the boat.

    The One who sent me is going to Help somebody here inclusive those reading on the label of DMC tonight. And He will help you all the way – Amen!

    Thank You Father.

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

    There is a Noise going on in your head that sounds like Air-Conditioner working.

    God asked me to tell you: With the next shout of Hallelujah, the Noise will be gone – Hallelujah!

    Oh! Thank You Daddy.

    The Lord says there’s Someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC:

    Many times in your Dreams in the recent Past; you have had to wake up suddenly because Someone has been trying to choke you.

    Daddy asked me to tell: The Demon will never return – Amen.

    1. Not only will He stand by you in time of trouble, like He Promised in Isaiah 43:1-2.

    He says He will stand by you in trouble, so you will come out without being burnt by fire.

    So, even when you have a trial, He remains with you, He helps you pass the Examination.

    I know you want to ask the Question: “When You know that You are going to stand by me during the exam, why the exam anyway? “Usually, it is so that He can bless you double.

    Hallelujah!

    The Lord says Somebody is asking – And you have wondered about something: “Is Triple Promotion Possible?”

    God said I should tell you, “I will make you a Classical Example – Amen.

    In Job 42:12-17, the Bible said, God blessed the latter end of Job than the beginning because He doubled everything that the devil took from him.

    Let me decree to Somebody here tonight inclusive those reading on the label of DMC, every Good thing you have ever lost, God will restore Double – Amen!

    1. He not only Uproots Mountain, you know in Psalms 90:1-2, the Bible tells us that before the Mountains were brought forth, our God has been there!

    But when He wants to remove a Mountain, He uproots it. And so, He gives you the Authority – “Just believe in Me and then command Mountains to move; and the Mountain will move!”

    And I know that there are some Believers here tonight inclusive those reading on the Label of DMC – You won’t be here tonight if you don’t believe in God. You won’t come here tonight if you don’t believe that Miracles are happening here.

    Holy Ghost Service (HGS) started in 1986 and it’s getting bigger by the day because God is here.

    And you know that He is here; and you know He is a Miracle Worker.

    PRAYER: So, I am going to encourage you that right now, you will Stand on your feet and command every Mountain that is blocking your way, and say:

    In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Mountain, I Command you, get out of my way!

    … Say it again loud and clear. Say it as if you mean it.

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

    Please, be seated!

    I want to Prophesy to someone – Before you get home tonight, that Mountain would have been buried – Amen.

    I am sure you remembered the Story of Someone who was doing very well in his Place of work, and all of a sudden, they sacked them. So, he came to the Holy Ghost Service with his sack letter.

    And God spoke that – “There is Someone here, Somebody in your family is going to die next week. Don’t mourn him because he is the one causing you trouble. And when he has been removed, Restoration will come”.

    By the time he got home, the following week, the father died.

    Because the father is the one who said: “the way this boy is going, he will soon be greater than I”. That’s why he caused him to be sacked.

    His father died and they Phoned the boy to come back to work – “Sorry, we made a mistake. You should be Promoted, not sacked”.

    I don’t care who the fellow is – No matter how close to you; if he is blocking your way to Glory, the Almighty God will move him/her – Amen.

    1. God does not just move Mountains; occasionally to show Himself Mighty, He will cause you to Fly Over the Mountains – So the Mountain is waiting but you are gone!

    In Isaiah 40:31, it says, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Strength; they shall mount up with wings as Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

    I decree to Somebody today – Every Mountain that God does not want to move, you will Fly Over them – Amen.

    1. He doesn’t just give you Victory, He can give you Victory Upon Victory, Upon Victory.

    Daddy asked me to tell someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: that very soon you will be Singing.

    And the Song would be, “it is Raining all over me” – Amen.

    Daddy says I should tell all of you that every Seed sown this Month (August 2023);

    The Harvest will be Beyond Expectations – Amen!

    Oh, the Lord is here tonight!

    The Lord wants me to tell Somebody: I have given you Victory before; I will give you a bigger one – Amen.

    In 1 Samuel 17:34-51, the lion came, David killed the lion. A bear came, David killed the bear, Goliath came and David killed Goliath.

    1. Not only does He give you Victory after Victory; He can make sure you never have to fight again.

    He can make sure that all the weapons fashioned against you will not Prosper.

    In Isaiah 54:15-17, He says you don’t have to worry; if Somebody wants to fight you, let him try!

    And when He Promotes, He not only reaches down to the Dunghill; 1 Samuel 2:7-9 tells you He can pick up a beggar from the dunghill. He will keep on raising him until He begins to dine with kings.

    He said by Strength shall no man Prevail.

    I. He doesn’t just go to the Dunghill, He goes deeper down than the Dunghill – He can even go into the Miry Clay and bring you up from there.

    I have told you my own Story – My father was so poor, the poor People called him poor. God went to the Miry clay and Picked up Somebody from that fellow – Who is talking to you right now.

    In the Name that’s above every other name, all those who have written you off will come and bow down before you – Amen.

    II. When He wants to Promote, He can go to the Prison House and bring Somebody there and make him the Great Ruler.

    Praise God – Hallelujah!

    Daddy asked me to tell Someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: Get ready for hard work.

    He says, because I am about to Open many doors simultaneously – Amen.

    You know the Story of Joseph in Genesis 41 – Joseph woke up in Prison, as a Prisoner but by the Evening, he was Prime Minister of Egypt with the authority that every knee should be bowing before him.

    I think I have told you before that if I were Joseph, the moment I got on that Chariot of Pharaoh, I will go to Potiphar’s house first – Hello Potiphar, call your wife out. Let her come out here and let her see me in my Glory.

    I have told you the Story before – That in 1963 Nnamdi Azikiwe became the Governor General of Nigeria. He came to visit Ondo Town. At that time I was a little Teacher at Ondo Boys High School.

    All of us trooped out to go and receive him. There was one of the Old Teachers standing by my side. As Azikiwe was riding past in the open car, for one reason or the other, he looked in my direction and saw that Old Teacher standing by my side. He stopped the Motorcade and said they should bring the Teacher.

    Because the Teacher was the one who was responsible for expelling Zik from the Secondary School. Now Zik is Governor General and he saw that Teacher and said he should come.

    One man was riding in Glory, another one was almost sinking in shame.

    Anybody who tries to truncate your Destiny will watch you ride in Glory – Amen.

    … I am talking about this God who can go Beyond Expectations:

    1. He cannot only destroy all your yokes, He can use your Presence to deal with the yokes of others.

    Ha! Thank You.

    The Lord asked me to tell Someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: Today, you are fighting a battle of a Lifetime.

    He asked me to tell you: I have set Confusion in the Camp of your Enemies – Amen.

    In Acts 16:25-end, when God paid a visit to that Prison house, He came because of Paul and Silas; but at the end of the day, when the Earthquake came, it was not only Paul and Silas that had their yokes destroyed; every Prisoner got loose.

    Because of you (whoever you may be): all the yokes in your family will be destroyed tonight – Amen!

    1. He cannot only save the worst of Sinners, he can turn him to an Apostle.

    In 1 Timothy 1:15 Paul said, I am the Chief of Sinners. But by the time God finished with him in 2 Corinthians 11:5, he said, For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very Chiefest Apostles.

    Thank You Daddy.

    The Lord asked me to tell Someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: You will be Pregnant this Month – Amen.

    And not only that; the child you shall bring forth will become a Great Man of God – Amen.

    1. Not only can He save your Soul, He can fill you to Overflowing with the Holy Spirit so that you can have Divine Power – Power to Witness and Power over Principalities and Powers.
    2. He can raise you up so Mightily that even Angels will become your Servants. Hebrews 1:7-14…

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

    A Prophet gave you a very “Frightening Prophecy”.

    God asked me to tell you that He didn’t send him. So forget the Prophecy – Amen.

    The Lord asked me to tell a certain Man of God here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC:

    He said, the Holy Spirit will begin to move you “More Powerful” than ever before – Amen.

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

    He says, I will give you a Vision that will lead to Mighty Prosperity – Amen.

    Daddy asked me to tell Someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC:

    Out of the Present Hardship, you will come out Triumphantly – Amen.

    1. God cannot only give you a Glorious future in Life; Isaiah 3:10 says, you as a Child of God, it is going to be well with you anyway!

    Colossians 1:27 says, Christ in you is the Hope of Glory.

    If you have Christ in you, then you know your tomorrow is going to be alright.

    According to the Word of God, He has even Greater Plans for you.

    According to John 14:1-3; He is telling you about the world to come. He said He has Prepared a Mansion for you.

    And I believe I am going to see you in your Mansion when we get to Heaven – Amen.

    … Now that is Part One (1): Theory.

    I believe that I have established it that our God does not just do little, little things; when He does things, He does it Big – Beyond Expectations.

    PART TWO (2): APPLICATION.

    But now let’s talk about Application – You know I am an Applied Mathematician.

    Knowing Who your God is should lead you to the following Points:

    1. Put Him First and He will Single you out for a Mighty Miracle.

    In 1 Kings 17:8-16, a Man of God came to the Widow of Zarephath and said, I need food. The Widow said, what I have is barely enough for me and my son. The Man of God said, do my own first. The woman agreed! And for the rest of the Famine the Widow never suffered hunger.

    Now the Bible tells us in Luke 4:25-26, there were many Windows in the Land, but God Singled out one for “Unending Supplies”.

    We are many here tonight; and Somebody is going to become a “World Figure” – Amen.

    How will God Single out that fellow out of this Multitude? It will be the one who would put God first.

    I have told you before, when God said, “Honour me with your First Fruit” He is saying: I don’t need anything, I am the All-Sufficient God.

    Honour is something you give to Someone who doesn’t need anything.

    Honourary Degree is given to Somebody who doesn’t need your money.

    God says, “Honour Me” – Put me first and see what I will do.

    1. Obey Him Completely and He will heal you Beyond Expectations.

    I am happy those of you who were here from the beginning of the week and you have learnt that there is something far beyond Healing -That there is something called Wholeness.

    In 2 Kings 5:1-14, when God healed Naaman, He didn’t just heal him; He made him Whole – There was no scar of Leprosy left.

    But again in Luke 4:27, it says there were many Lepers in the Land, but God Singled out Naaman for Wholeness.

    Why? He obeyed Completely! – “Deep yourself in Jordan seven (7) times”. He did it exactly as God said and received Wholeness.

    God can Single you out for Extraordinary Blessing.

    I have told you before – I travelled to Canada for the first time (1975 or 1976) for a World Conference of Applied Mathematicians. It was in the Month of May – May is a very Cold Season in Canada.

    We came from all over the world, long queue to register and I was shaking.

    All of a sudden, the woman in Charge of Registration left her table far away and began to come down the line. When she got to me, she stopped. “Hello, where are you from? (I told her). What’s your name? (I told her).” She turned back.

    Few minutes later, she came back with a Packet of Sandwich and very hot big cup of tea. I didn’t look at anybody, I finished the bread and drank the tea.

    Just as I was finishing the tea, she came back – She had gone back to do my Registration and gave me Somebody to lead me to where I will stay.

    To you, it may not mean much: it was my first time of traveling out of Africa. I didn’t know anybody there, but God Singled me out – Out of all the People for Special Treatment.

    I decree to Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, God will Single you out for Special Favour – Amen.

    1. Trade with God and you will see El-shaddai in Action.

    In 1 Samuel 1:9-20, Hannah traded with God, “give me a son and I’ll give him back to You.”

    Yes, God gave her a son, not just an “Ordinary Son”. God gave her one of the Greatest Prophets in the Old Testament. And then God gave her five (5) additional children.

    When you trade with God, He will bless you Beyond Expectations – He will show you that He is truly El-shaddai.

    1. Be Hundred Percent (100%) Committed to His Kingdom Work.

    Work for Him, go beyond Ordinary Call of Duty, and He will give you ‘Unending Promotion”.

    Promotion comes from God – Your boss is a Human Being, and his Heart is in the Hand of God.

    The Heart of kings are in the Hand of God and He can turn the Heart like Rivers of water.

    If God says, “Promote this fellow”, that fellow will be Promoted.

    But you must be Someone who is hundred Percent (100%) committed to the work of God.

    I have to say Amen to this one before I tell you – Amen!

    Daddy says: The one who would be referred to as the “Greatest Miracle” of this Decade is here tonight – That will be The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS (Amen)!

    In Psalms 57:7, David said, My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give Praise.

    And in Psalms 34:1 David also said, I will bless the LORD at all times: His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.

    In 1 Chronicles 22:7-16, David said to Solomon, “I wanted to build a House for God but God says, no you can’t build a House because you have been a Warrior, your son will build a house”.

    He said, “Solomon, Congratulations but I want you to know that everything that will be needed to build a House for God is coming from me – Daddy says I can’t build a House but I will Provide everything that is needed”.

    God turned to David and said: Because it is in your heart to build me a House, there will always be a King on your Thorne.

    Thank You Father!

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

    The one who is blocking your Vision is already on the way Out – Amen.

    That is why we hear in Mark 10:46-52; when Bartimaeus was calling, he said, “Jesus, thou son of David” – He referred Jesus to David.

    And today Jesus is on the Throne according to the Promise that God made to David, that there will always be Someone on his Throne.

    I want to decree to Somebody here today inclusive those who are reading on the label of DMC; your Promotion will never end – Amen!

    Do His Will and He will bless you so much that you will be running away from the Blessing – Deuteronomy 28:1-13.

    I want to say Amen to this before I tell you – Amen!

    Some years ago there was this Magazine about Motor cars and Automobiles, and they were ranking the cars.

    They said Mercedes Benz is the Strongest; BMW is the Fastest;. Lexus is more Comfortable.

    So I was asking a friend, what’s wrong with this People? Where did they put Royce Rolls?

    My friend said, when they are talking about cars, you don’t want to mention Royce Rolls; because it is in a “Class by Itself”.

    I am telling you that because God asked to tell somebody: One day when Great People sit down together and they are talking about Greatness; they would Point to you and say: “Your case is Exceptional” – Amen.

    I want to say Amen to this one again; and f this is the only one I got I will be happy – Amen!

    Because God says, there is someone here today inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC:

    He says, I will give you ten (10) Years of Unlimited Joy – Amen.

    … That brings us to the next Point.

    1. Don’t Limit God:

    Since you know He will do Exceedingly, Abundantly above all you ask or think, then don’t limit Him.

    In 2 Kings 4:1-7, it was when the empty Vessels that the woman gathered finished that the oil stopped flowing,

    God told her, borrow empty Vessels, borrow not a few. And she borrowed – But after some time, she felt, this is enough! And the oil stopped when there were no more empty Vessels.

    I know God feels unhappy when you ask Him for small things – At times you ask Him things so small that He feels insulted.

    So when it is time to Pray – Which is going to be very soon; Please tonight, don’t ask for small things.

    I told you before of my Late Uncle – You go to him and say uncle, give me One Thousand Naira (N1,000) – And One Thousand Naira (N1,000) was a lot of money in those days. My uncle will say, I don’t have.

    Ha! Uncle.

    I will come back to say, Uncle Please, give me ten thousand Naira (N10,000) and he will say, I don’t have.

    And then when you go to Uncle and say, Please I need a Hundred Thousand Naira – Now you are talking! “Don’t you know who I am?” Asking me for ten thousand Naira?

    He came home sometimes and we met him on the way, he branched at the High School that we had in Ifewara (A Village in Osun State Nigeria) in those days.

    We received him and I said Uncle, Please we don’t have Assembly Hall. We do our Assembly in the Dining Hall.

    He said, is that all? Have you Boys’ Dormitory? We said, No Sir! You have a Place for the Girls? No Sir! He said, you Principal, do you have a Principal’s house? He said No Sir!

    And he said, now, let’s sit down and talk – School Assembly Hall plus Dormitory for boys, plus Dormitory for Girls and a Principal’s house.

    It doesn’t matter how many things you ask God today, He will give you more!

    In Conclusion:

    Whatever you do for God from now, do it with all your heart – He will not share you with anyone or any idol. He’s a very Jealous God.

    You want Him to Prove to you that He is More Than Sufficient? You must serve Him wholeheartedly.

    You add anything else to Him; you are on your own.

    Be committed to Him hundred Percent (100%); even before the end of this Month ,(August), you will Testify – Amen.

    It is going to be time to Pray now!

    I know that my son (Revd Joe Olaiya) has Preached a Powerful Sermon and several Souls have been saved – You can get to read the Full Text of this Message on the Label of DMC.

    But just in case some People came in after he made the Altar Call, and you have not given your Life to Jesus Christ. I want to give you an opportunity to do so.

    ALTAR CALL

    If you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ do so now!

    Cry to Him and say: I have come with all my heart. Please, save my Soul, let Your Blood wash away all my sins. I want to serve You for the rest of my Life.

    Go ahead, call on Him!

    And the rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands to these our Brothers and Sisters and intercede for them – That the One Who saved our Soul would save their Souls also.

    Let’s Pray for them that God will give them Salvation.

    Go ahead, Pray for them!

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

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION

    Ancient of Days, I want to say Thank You for Your Word. I Thank You for these Your children who have Genuinely Surrendered to You today.

    And let them remain Your Children forever.

    We are serving the God of Miracles,
    I know, Yes I know (Hallelujah).

    Amen!

    Well, just two (2) things more and then you’ll be on your way.

    We are going to Thank God for all He has done tonight; and then I am going to anoint your Handkerchiefs.

    There has been numerous Testimonies of Miracles from these Anointed Handkerchiefs. And the one of tonight is going to be Special because it’s going to Produce Results Beyond Expectations!

    As family Members tonight, the first thing that we are going to do on behalf of your families and the families all over the world is to Thank the Lord.

    Psalms 92:1, the Bible tells us that it is a Good Thing to give Thanks unto the Lord and to sing Praises unto Your Holy Name Most High.

    What is it that it is Good to give Thanks?

    So, we are rising up to give Thanks on behalf of our families even as we sing this Song to Thank God for our Marriages, for the Delivery in our families, for sustaining us, in feeding, in Clothing, in Spending, giving us Good Health, giving us job, Salvation – Which is the most important thing.

    1. Brethren because of the Theme for the Convention – “Beyond Expectations”.

    We know that our God can do more than He has done already and He wants our Joy to be Full.

    We are going to ask Him that every Blockages to the Pleasant Statement “Beyond Expectations” that will not allow us enjoy it or for it to be established in our lives and be manifested.

    Every Road blocks of the Enemies or Satan, Powers and Principalities created by the Enemies within and without from Sickness and Poverty; let’s begin to remove them now in the Name of Jesus.

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

    1. Psalms 23:5(b) and 6(b) – The Bible tells us that Goodness and Mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives.

    And in 5(b); He says our Cup runs over.

    He set a Table before me in the Presence of our Enemies.

    We are here for a “Running Over” – Running Over of Peace in all our homes and of Progress.

    Shall we now begin to mention what we want in your home tonight!

    So shall it be.

    In Jesus Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    1. The Book of Ecclesiastes 12:13 says that the Conclusion of the matter is that we want to enjoy “Beyond Expectations” Unending.

    Which means that everyday, we shall receive Wonders; another day, Greater Wonders; the next day, Overwhelming Wonders.

    And our Wonders and Joy will continue forever from one degree to another – Amen!

    So, what is the Conclusion tonight.

    As we are Concluding in our Prayers to Usher in your Expectations of everything is your Fear of God.

    Fear God, keep His Commandments – Nothing goes for Nothing. There must be a Seed before the Harvest.

    Brethren tonight, we are joining hands because we want to Intercede for all the Nations of the world now.

    Join hands with your Partners to the Right and Left.

    And tell Him: Father, all the Natiions, all the families of the world; we Pray that they will fear your God alone. All those things causing them Fear, remove.

    Let Your Fear be established in the fathers of the home, mothers, Youth, children, Teenagers/Toddlers; so much that Nobody will do anything that is against Your Commandments and Will.

    And so shall it be.

    CLOSING PRAYER

    And in Your Kingdom, none of us shall be found wanting.

    We give You Praise, we give You Honour because we know that our cries has been heard and we shall begin to live a Life of Expectations in Peace, Joy, Unity, Power, Progress, Anointing, Greater Works for God.

  • BEYOND HEALING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG 71ST ANNUAL CONVENTION, 9TH AUGUST, 2O23.

    BEYOND HEALING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG 71ST ANNUAL CONVENTION, 9TH AUGUST, 2O23.

    RCCG 71ST ANNUAL CONVENTION 2023 (DAY: 3 EVENING SESSION – HEALING SERVICE)

    THEME: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    TOPIC: BEYOND HEALING

    DATE: 9TH AUGUST 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: 1 PETER 2:24

    Thank You Lord! Thank You Father. Glory be to God.

    Some years ago, a woman had a Problem that Medicine could not handle. The Problem was that whatever she ate, she vomited. She tried everything and nothing worked.

    Then one day she came to the National Headquarters at Ebute Meta. And it was time to Preach (like this) – And as usual, I asked People to shout Hallelujah. As she opened her mouth to shout, a worm came out of her mouth.

    … A worm that didn’t appear on X-ray, a worm that is alive.

    I have an assurance from my Father in Heaven that whatever is in you that causing you sickness, disease; is coming out of you tonight if you would shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Thank You Father!

    SONG:

    We are serving the God of Miracles
    I know, Yes I know;
    We are serving the God of Miracles
    I know, Yes I know (Hallelujah)!

    We are serving the God of Miracles
    I know, Yes I know;
    We are serving the God of Miracles
    I know, Yes I know (Hallelujah)!

    OPENING PRAYER

    Miracle Working God, the Great Physician. The God Who has never failed. The God Who has never referred a case. The All-Sufficient God. Glory be to Your Holy Name.

    Thank You for Monday, Thank You for yesterday (Tuesday, Day 2), Thank You for what You are about to do today (Day 3). Thank You in advance for tomorrow (Day 4). Please, Receive our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.

    Almighty God, the God Who is More than Enough, Please tonight, in the Life of every one of Your Children, Prove Yourself.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Let someone shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    Again, you are going to Prophesy to your Neighbours – You are going to shake hands with one (1) or two (2) and say: Neighbour I like you, but tonight I am likely to get my Miracle before you get yours – Amen.

    Praise the Lord – Hallelujah.

    … You can Please, be seated!

    Tomorrow is a Special Day for Deliverance. Again, the Senior Pastors would be here before 8am to Minister to anyone who might think he or she needs Deliverance.

    BIRTH REPORT:

    I have Good News for you: As of today, additional fourteen (14) Babies have been born – Seven (7) Boys and Seven (7) Girls. Bringing the total to Thirty Five (35): fourteen Boys and twenty one (21) Girls

    So Girls, shout Praise the Lord! Boys shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    … I told you Boys, don’t worry, we will catch up! At least we have become neutral now. So we’ll move further by tomorrow.

    Thank You Father!

    I have a feeling that something Great is about to happen tonight – Amen

    Because I will be speaking to you for few minutes (so that you can have time to Pray) on the Topic: BEYOND HEALING.

    The Bible Text would be: 1 Peter 2:24.

    Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto Righteousness: by whose Stripes ye were Healed.

    PART ONE (1):

    Immediately you were saved, you have access to Divine Healing.

    The day Jesus Christ hung on that Cfoss, shed His Blood for you, cried “it is Finished!” (John 19:39) your Healing was Purchased.

    The Bible says, “by His stripes you were healed”.

    You don’t need to beat a man that you want to Crucify – They knew they were going to nail Him to the Cross; they were going to kill Him.

    So why did they still beat Him – With Forty (40) Stripes?

    I know a little about what goes on in the Prisons – By God’s Grace, I’ve been a regular Visitor to Prisons; not as an inmate, but as a Pastor since 1975.

    And I know that in all the Civilized Countries in the world, when a man is about to be executed tomorrow, they would ask him today, “what kind of food will you like to eat?” He would choose his Last Meal.

    Occasionally, they may even ask, “do you want to watch a film!” Because they know he is going. So they treat him with some, shall we call it ‘Last Respect’.

    So they knew they were going to Crucify Jesus – They knew it! And yet they beat Him.

    *Because He died on the Cross, the shedding of the Blood on the Cross was to buy you Salvation; with all the Benefits that I told you yesterday (DMC NOTES: You can get to read full Text of that Message Only on the Label of DMC).

    But they beat Him – It’s for your Healing! “By His stripes ye were healed.”

    I think I’ve told you before; several years ago – I said I am sad that I didn’t keep that Magazine; one Great Scientist said that all the Sicknesses and Diseases in the world could be Classified into thirty nine (39) Categories.

    And so the Lord Jesus Christ took Forty (40) Stripes – One (1) Stripe for each Category of Sickness and Disease. But then He took one extra, because He knew that the Thirty nine (39) Categories were those that were known then.

    At the time they were classifying those diseases, Coronavirus had not yet come. But Jesus knew that there are Sicknesses and Diseases; the type the world has never seen before that were still hiding somewhere.

    So He took the 40th Stripes to be ready for them – ‘By His Stripes you were healed’.

    That you are going to be healed tonight is not the discussion – The discussion is something Greater; something Beyond!

    Oh! The Lord Jesus Christ can heal you by any Method He may choose:

    1. He can REPAIR:

    Like in Mark 3:1-5, He saw a man with a Withered Hand and repaired.

    1. He can Replace any Part of the body that is not functioning well.

    Like in Mark 8:22-25; He found a blind man, touched the blind man, ask the man “can you see?” He said, Oh! I see men like trees. “I’m okay, but not hundred Percent (100%).

    So He gave him a Second Touch.

    1. Or Jesus can Completely Recreate – Give you a Brand New Part.

    In John 9:1-7, He found a man born blind, spit on the Ground, put it there. He told him to go and wash. He went, he washed, and came back seeing.

    1. But there is something beyond Healing – Something called Wholeness.

    Bcause it is Possible for you to go to the Hospital with a headache and then they give you something and the headache disappears. But the Doctor might not know that, apart from the headache, you also have Stomach Disorder.

    So when you are made Whole, everything, every form of Sickness disappears.

    And in the Name that’s above every name: Somebody is going home tonight Whole – Amen!

    At times you get healed but there are some little, little left behinds.

    But when God decides to make you Whole, He sees to it that there’ll be no leftovers.

    In 2 Kings 5:1-14, when God healed Naaman, He gave him skin like that of a Brand New Baby.

    … Total Healing, no scars left behind – It is called Wholeness!

    God is going to Heal Somebody tonight and there’ll be no sign that you have ever been sick – Amen.

    1. And then Beyond Wholeness: that is living a Life with an assurance that you would never be sick again.

    In Exodus 15:26, God made a Promise that if you would obey Him, obey all His Commandments; He said He would make sure that no Sickness would come near you at all! He says He would become your Personal Physician.

    Years ago, when I was sharing this with some of my children, one of them asked, “if I can never be sick again, how am I going to ndie and go to Heaven?” You don’t have to be sick to go to Heaven!

    There are some of us here like I’ve always told you, when it’s time to go, we will go to Church on Sunday, dance, rejoice; come home, eat pounded yam and go! – No Sickness at all.

    That’s what I require for you – Amen.

    … But then, there is still something beyond that;

    1. And that is the ability to carry the Healing Virtue in yourself that anybody who touches you or you touch; will receive an Overflow of Healing, of Health from you to them.

    I am believing God that tonight, someone will begin to lay hands on the sick and they recover – Amen.

    Acts 3:1-8, Apostle Peter touched a man born Lame and the Power of God flowed through him into that man; and the Bible says, his ankle bones, “Reveived” Strength – Strength was poured into that man and the Strength went to where the trouble was and solved the Problem.

    So the fellow got up – Walking, Jumping, and Praising God!

    But Thank God for one of the Testimonies we had tonight, of a child that couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk couldn’t do anything. And then God moved in. The boy is now jumping, is now singing, is now dancing, is now doing everything!

    Oh! Everything you have not been able to be doing before, you will be it doing tonight – Amen!

    I am not talking to everybody ooo – I am talking to those People who know that the Message is for them (The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS). They are the People who should say Amen – Amen!

    … But there’s something beyond that;

    1. The Almighty God can so load you with Anointing that your Sweat will be Healing the sick.

    In Acts 19:11-12, the Bible spoke of the Handkerchiefs and Aprons – Anything that has touched the body of Paul Healing the sick.

    Years ago (you’ve heard this Testimony before) some young Brothers went to the Riverine area to go and Evangelize.

    So they were staying in a classroom. And because they were in the Riverine area there were many mosquitoes.

    So as they were sleeping, mosquitoes were paying them courtesy call. And so everybody was slapping, trying to get rid of the mosquitoes.

    But there was this Boy who was just cool. And the others said, “Ha! Brother, the mosquitoes are not troubling you?”

    He said, they dare not! “What are you talking about?” He stretched out his bare hand and the mosquitoes came quickly, bombarded the hand. But as People watched, the mosquitoes fell down dead one by one.

    That Anointing that would kill any Virus that comes near you instantly, receive it tonight in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    ….But there’s still something beyond that;

    1. The Almighty God can so Anoint you, that your Shadow – Not you, not your handkerchief; will be Healing the sick.

    It’s there in Acts 5:14-16 – It tells us of a time when the Shadow of Peter was Healing the sick.

    And I have shared the Testimony with you before – The older ones were there.

    When we were in the very, very first Auditorium, having a Convention like this. And God spoke to me and said there were some People who had severe back Pains;

    So bad that for a long time they were not able to bend down to touch their toes. He asked me to call them forward that He wanted to heal them and I was glad! I called them forward – Some of you were there!

    And I was expecting that God will say: lay hands on them or slap their back. No! He said I should dance round them.

    Because I know His Voice, I did what He asked me to do. It looks stupid:

    Why will I be dancing round the People? I am dancing because your back is aching?

    But after some five (5) Minutes of dancing, He asked me to tell them: everyone of them go ahead, touch your toes. And they were all healed!

    I am not going to dance round you tonight. You are too many to dance round! But in the Name that’s above every other name, even as I Wave my hand, receive your Healing – Amen!

    … Now that’s Part One (1)

    Let’s go to Part 2 and apply what we have just learnt!

    And because we are serving a God who is More than Sufficient; let us apply the Theory we’ve just learnt.

    PART TWO (2): APPLICATIONS.

    1. Application No. 1:

    The Bible says in Matthew 18:18, Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven.

    In Plain Man Language, that is saying, whatever you allow on Earth will be allowed in Heaven; whatever you disallowed on Earth will be disallowed in Heaven.

    So a time is coming when you are going to Pray; and you will disallow certain things. And I will give you an illustration;

    About Forty (40) years ago, I suddenly discovered that I was losing my hearing – Some of you have heard the Testimony before. And I called one of my daughters (a Medical Doctor): “Please, look into my ears, what’s going on?” She pointed some kind of light and said, Oh God! And If your Doctor says, Oh God! You know that’s trouble.

    “Daddy, there’s a Growth in your ear, and it looks very terrible. We have to do something about it very, very soon. It is in a delicate Place but we have to operate.” I smiled!

    She said, Daddy this is not a joking matter. I said, easy my dear. Give me seven (7) days! On the seventh (7th) day, come back: If the Growth is still there, then you can do what you need to do.

    ….Because I refused,! I disallowed Growth in my ear.

    Those of you who have heard the Story before you knew the result – She came back seven (7) days later, pointed her light again and said, Oh God! “What is the Oh God now?” The Growth has disappeared!

    How many of you will refuse Sickness, Disease, anything that is ugly? (The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS). Say loud and clear – AMEN.

    Thank You Father!

    Some Growth are already disappearing – Amen!

    1. Application No. 2:

    God said in Mark 16:17-18, in my Name, you will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

    I think I have told you this one before; why He says you will lay hands on the sick:

    I. He didn’t say you are the one who would make them recover. Your own is to lay hands!

    II. He didn’t say you lay hands on so and so and so; He just said you’ll lay hands on the sick.

    Which means, if the sick is yourself and you lay hands on yourself, what’s going to happen to you? You will recover!

    And I told you the first time I travelled to Zambia (1993 I think) and I ate something that I wasn’t accustomed to. And then throughout the Night I began to stool. I can’t remember how many times but it was around 23rd or 24th time that I went to the toilet that I suddenly realised:

    God said “you’ll lay hands on the sick.” I am the one sick now.

    So I laid hands on my head, “Adeboye in the Name of Jesus Christ I Command, be healed!” The Stooling stopped!

    So somewhere along the line tonight, you are going to lay hands on yourself and you are going to Command Healing to your body.

    And someone shall be healed – Amen.

    Who is that someone? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    If you are the one, shout a big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Application No. 3:

    In Psalms 107:20, the Bible says, He sent His Word and healed them.

    He sent His Word, the body heard the Word and the body was healed.

    So somewhere along the line tonight, you are going to speak to your body – You are going to tell your body: Body, hear the Word of the Lord! And your body must obey God you know!

    And so your body would be saying: “wetin to hear?” – What is the Word of the Lord that you are asking me to hear?

    And so you will tell your body that it is written in Matthew 15:13 – Every Plant that My Father has not Planted shall be rooted up.

    You are going to be speaking to your own body – Body, hear the Word of the Lord, everything in you that was not put there by my God must come out tonight.

    Application No. 4:

    And then somewhere along the line tonight, we are going to apply Matthew 18:19. What does it say?

    The Lord Jesus Promised that if two of you shall agree as touching anything you ask on Earth, it shall be done for by your Father in Heaven.

    So somewhere along the line (and we will soon get there) – You are going to get a Partner; you are going to hold that Partner and tell the Almighty God: I agree with my Brother, I agree with my Sister for complete Healing tonight.

    … And then like I used to say – “then we shall see what we shall see!”

    However, because like I told you yesterday, “Nothing goes for Nothing!

    Some of you would say, I have laid hands before and there was Nothing; I have spoken to my body before it didn’t respond, etc.

    What is the Secret? What is the Fine Prints? What must we Know before we begin to Pray?

    1. The one who would be healed must be Prepared to Testify.

    Thank God for the Choir – They were brilliant again tonight as usual..And one of the Songs they rendered said: “I will Testify.”

    When they were saying that, I knew they were talking about me.

    How many People would Testify tonight? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    Because when you look at Mark 1:40-45, the Bible tells us that Jesus cured an incurable fellow – He was a Leper. And the Lord told him: Okay, I’ve healed you now! Go home keep your mouth shut.

    He said, Haa! Keep my mouth shut? He told everybody!

    The Bible says the next time Jesus came to town, because of the Testimony of one man, Jesus could no longer walk freely. Because he kept on telling them, “He healed me, I was a Leper; He made me Whole!”

    • There are many of us here or reading now on the Label of DMC; who have been healed before, we didn’t Testify! That’s why we lost the Healing.
    • There are some of us, God would have healed you but He knows you – He knows you won’t talk!
    • There are some of us who have been Born Again, only God knows for how many years. Even in our Place of work they don’t know! Because we won’t Testify.
    1. The one who is going to move from Healing to Wholeness must be someone who would come back to say Thank You to God.

    In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus cleansed ten (10) Lepers; only one came back to say Thank You! It is to that one that Jesus Christ said, Alright, move from Healing to Wholeness.

    1. The one whose touch will begin to make the Lame walk

    Acts 3:1-8 (That we mentioned Peter); will be the one who would stand out as a Testifier.

    Because on the day of Pentecost Acts 2:1-41; when the Holy Spirit came and every Disciple was speaking in Tongues.

    …. And Tongues is very important! I don’t know whether God will allow us to even do something about that during the Convention.

    But while everybody was enjoying Tongues, Peter stood up and Preached.

    He stood out!

    One of my Pastors has a nickname given to him by his Peers. You know the name they call him? Mr. Testimony.

    Because anytime we had a Meeting, anytime! “Daddy, I have a Testimony.” Anytime!

    So finally, his Colleagues began to call him Mr. Testimony.

    What a Good name!

    1. The one whose Sweat, whose Handkerchiefs and Aprons will begin to heal the sick (as Apostle Paul) is.

    He is the one who said in 2 Corinthians 12:15 – He said, “I will gladly spend and be spent for God.”

    I thank God that God has used me in the area of Waving my hands and Handkerchiefs become Anointed and you return with Testimonies;

    But I’m telling you, when there is work to be done for God, as much as it’s Possible I won’t allow you to do my own.

    Some years ago we were building a little Church in Ijesha (DMC NOTES: Ijesha is a town in Lagos State Nigeria) and everybody was carrying head pan, and so on. And I was carrying my own – And I was a Lecturer in the University of Lagos.

    Somebody came and saw me, “Ah! Oga (Master), how can you be carrying head pan?” No! Go and get your own head pan.

    I might be an important Man as a Lecturer, I am Nothing without God. But with Him, I am everything!

    The Bible says I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me – Philippians 4:13

    The one whose sweat will Heal must be willing to Spend and be Spent for God.

    1. The one whose Shadow is going to heal like in the case of Peter that we mentioned. If you go back to Luke 5:1-11; the day Jesus stepped into his boat that was the day Peter decided, I will follow you anywhere!

    There are certain things that God would only give to those People who are hundred percent (100%) committed to Him.

    There were many sons of the Prophet, only Elisha got a Double Portion because he followed his Master all the way!

    1. Finally, the one who is going to get Beyond Healing must be somebody with the Faith of a Child.

    In Mathematics we have what we call Set of Numbers;

    ….Don’t worry I am not about to teach you PhD Mathematics stuff.

    But whenever a Number can be divided by 2 what do we call that Number? – Even number!

    Thank you, at least you know that. That’s Simple.

    And whenever a Number cannot be divided by 2 what do we call it? – Odd number!

    That’s all. You know the Mathematics you need to know.

    In the Spiritual Realm, we have a Set called “The Set of the Almighty.”

    I. The first Person in that set is GOD – For with God Nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37).

    II. The Second Fellow in that Set according to Mark 9:23 is the one who Believes.

    Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are Possible to him that believeth.

    “Child-Like Faith” is required if you are to belong to the Set of the Almighty.

    • The one who can say, “My body, I Command you, hear the Word of the Lord.”
    • The one who can lay hand on himself and say, “The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS, I Command you, be healed!”

    “Child-Like Faith” – Faith like a baby, you are going to need that tonight.

    And then in Conclusion; many times I have Prayed for someone with all the Faith I can muster. I’ve Fasted, done Vigils and I don’t get the results I want.

    Many atimes I run to my Father, “Ha ha! Daddy, if I don’t know anything at all, I know You love me. I know there is Nothing You cannot do, I know that! You have Proved that to me again and again and again! What is going on?”

    And Many atimes God would say to me: Son, you don’t know all the Story. The one you are Praying for has not told you all the Story. And I will give you an illustration;

    … Don’t worry I’m about to close;

    I am going to all these details because this Convention, you are not going to forget it for Life – Amen.

    There was this woman who was sick and we Prayed all manners of Prayers – And I mean, all manners of Prayers: Intercession, Supplication, all manners! And she didn’t get well.

    When I complained God said, ask her now, tell her to tell you the whole Story.

    Woman tell me the whole Story Please!

    And She said well, I happen to be the Second wife of my husband and the first wife had given him some boys before she left (or I think she died), then I came in. And saw that with the boys ahead, whatever children I have, they are not going to be Prominent. So I killed the boys!

    Oh! I said alright, the Blood of Jesus Cleanses from all sins. The only thing I believe that you need to do now is, let’s settle this matter with your husband. So you’ll restitute.

    She said, stop Praying for my Healing because I can manage the Sickness. Because the day I tell that man that this is what happened, that day I’ll die!

    God is here tonight and he is about to Heal. Don’t hide anything that can Stand between you and your Miracle.

    Finally, in Mark 2:1-12, they brought a man through the roof to where Jesus Christ was Ministering -The man was Paralysed from neck down.

    Four (4) People brought him in. And Jesus saw them bringing in this Boy; He saw the kind of Faith that can break the roof open;

    And you would think that (I mean): there’s no need to ask any Question – Everybody can see that this man needs a Miracle.

    And when Jesus turned to him what did He say? “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”

    I thought He will just say, “Son Be Healed. No! He said we have to get sin out of the way, for the Power of the Almighty God to be able to do his work.

    ALTAR CALL:

    So if you are here tonight – Whether in this Auditorium, or in the New Auditorium, wherever you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC;

    And you don’t want the Extraordinary Move of God, the Healing Power of God that’s already flowing like a river – You don’t want it to be useless in your Life. And you know that you are still living in sin, you need to come forward and let Jesus Christ take care of the sin.

    Because unless He saves your Soul, unless His Blood washes away your sin; unless the dog that has returned to its vomit wants to come back to God to be called a son again; unless Backsliders want to return.

    Hmmmm! When you hear the Testimonies of tonight, you would say, “and I was there!”

    So if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, come forward now or Stand up wherever you are right now. So that we can cry together and ask the Almighty God to be Merciful unto you; to save your Soul, wash away your sin: so the Healing Power of God can reach out to you tonight.

    You must be washed in the Blood of the Lamb; your Soul must be saved before the Healing Power of God can touch you. It is those He saved on the Cross that can claim the Healing Power of His Stripes.

    Come! Tonight is your Healing Night; but you must be saved first.

    Backsliders come too, He will restore.

    Now those of you who are ready to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ; begin to talk to God – Ask Him to be Merciful unto you, ask Him to please, save your Soul, ask Him to Please, wash away all your sins with His Blood;

    So that Nothing will Stand between you and the Healing Power of God.

    Promise Him that you will serve Him from now on, for the rest of your Life.

    Ask Him to become your Lord as well as your Saviour.

    And the rest of us, Please let’s Stretch our hands towards these our Beloved Brothers and Sisters, and intercede for them – That the One Who saved our own Soul would save their own Souls also.

    That the Blood of Jesus would wash away every sins in their lives; that God would give them a Brand New Beginning.

    Please, Pray for them!

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

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION:

    My Father and my God, I want to Bless Your Holy Name. I want to give You all Glory and Honour for Your Word.

    I want to Thank You for these People that have come forward to Surrender their lives to you today.

    Father Please, have Mercy on them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the Book of Life, and let them become Children of God.

    And anytime they cry unto You for anything, answer them by Fire!

    When You begin to Heal tonight, Father include them among the People!

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

    Now those of you who have just surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ – Congratulations!

    I can assure you from now on that I’ll be Praying for you.

    So I will need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests. God Bless You!

    You can begin to Thank God in Advance, because tonight, God is about to heal somebody – Amen.

    ….And I believe that somebody needs to begin to thank God now in advance!

    Amen!

    PRAYER SESSION:

    Like I said, we have three (3) Major Prayer Points;

    1. You will be laying hands on your own head, commanding in the Mighty Name of Jesus, that you would be healed.
    2. You will be speaking to your body, telling the body to hear the Word of the Lord. That every Plant the Lord has not Planted in that body be Uprooted.
    3. You will be Praying the Prayer of Agreement (and we are going to start with the Prayer of Agreement).

    You are going to find a Partner – If you are a husband and your wife is here, automatically, your Partner would be your wife. If you are not a couple here, then the fellow who is next to you is the fellow you would join hands with and Pray!

    … So I am going to ask you to Please, Stand!

    And if you believe God is going to answer you tonight, let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    So I am going to join my hand with my wife; you find your own Partner, join hand with your Partner;

    1. Lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: FATHER, I agree with this fellow I am holding, give him or her Total Wholeness tonight.

    Go ahead, talk to the Lord.

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

    1. Now lay your own hand on your own head;

    Lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: FATHER, In the Mighty Name of Jesus, The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS be healed!

    Go ahead, just mention your name – call on the Almighty God.

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

    1. Now you’ll still keep the hand on your head and command the body;

    Say: Body, I command you in the Mighty Name of Jesus, hear the Word of the Lord, everything in you that is not of God, get out now!

    Open your mouth and command your body!

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

    DADDY GO DECREED:

    And so in the Name that’s above every other name; in the Mighty Name of Jesus, I am in Total Agreement with all of you:

    Be Whole! Be absolutely Whole!

    Even before you go to bed tonight, may your Testimony come!

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

    THANKSGIVING

    Then for the next five (5) Minutes, you want to show the Almighty God that you believe; by singing, by dancing, by Praising God, by doing what you’ve never been able to do before. Just Thanksgiving for five (5) minutes!

    Go ahead! Begin to Praise Him, begin to Worship Him, Clap to Him, Dance before Him.

    Just go ahead and Praise God. Praise Him!

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

    OPENING PRAYER

    Father, we Thank You for this Morning; Thank You for the Opportunity to serve in the Vineyard.

    Father, I ask that the Word You want for Your Children will come forth this Morning – Word of Life, Word of Help, Word of Deliverance, Word of Fulfilment and Word of Promotion; let it come forth upon Your Children.

    In Jesus Most Powerful Name we Pray – Amen!

    Be seated – God Bless You!

    I give Thanks to God for this Great opportunity to Stand here and Minister to you.

    And I Thank our father-in-the-Lord and our mother-in-the-Lord – The Lord will keep on Prreserving you (Amen).

    I have been asked to talk to you this Morning on: “COVETING THE BEST GIFTS”.

    In 1 Corinthians 12: 28-31; we have some “Ministry Gifts” listed there!

    1 Corinthians 12: 28-31:

    1. And God hath set some in the Church, first Apostles, Secondarily Prophets, thirdly Teachers, after that Miracles, then Gifts of Healings, Helps, Governments, Diversities of Tongues.
    2. Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all Teachers? Are all Workers of Miracles?
    3. Have all the Gifts of Healing? Do all speak with Tongues? Do all Interpret?
    4. But covet earnestly the Best Gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more Excellent way.

    And at the end of the Listing of the Ministry Gifts, the Question was asked: “But covet earnestly the Best Gifts”.

    That means that we have the Best of them and we have those that are better.

    So, there are three (3) Classes of Gifts

    Before then, the nine (9) Singular Gifts were listed in 1 Corinthians 12: 4-11 and then, the Ministerial Gifts were listed later.

    But Paul in his Epistle to the Ephesians, gave us the List of the five (5) Ministry Gifts.

    The Singular Gifts were Grouped into three (3):

    I. The Vocal Gifts – Whiich are Inspirational.

    II. The Revelation Gifts

    III. The Action Gifts – Which are Powerful.

    Of the Inspirational Gifts, Prophesy is the most desirable because it does what the others do.

    Of the Action Gifts; Faith is the Best of them because it does what Miracles does and what the Healing of Miracles will do.

    But when it comes to the Revelation Gifts, it is a bit dicey. But the best of them all is the “Word of Wisdom” because it does not only solve Problems; it also gives you Guidance.

    And Paul says: Earnestly desire or covet.

    When you know the Purpose of a Gift, it will help you to Streamline your desires.

    Summarily, the Gifts were given to bring Individual Blessings to the Individuals in the Church and to the Church Body collectively

    So, you can make Profit from the Gift of Healing:

    I. If you are Anointed to heal the sick, the day you are sick; during your Ministrations, the Anointing that is following out through you to the other People can be reversed into your body to heal you.

    II. The day your children is sick, you can make Profit – Your Children can be healed.

    But if God Anointed you to heal the sick and you throw away the Gift of Healing; on the day you are sick, you will have Nothing to Profit from!

    So, the Gifts are given to be a Blessing to the Church and to be a Blessiing to you!

    So, how do you get the Best of them (Gifts)?

    You are given the Opportunity and Freedom to covet or to desire!

    That instruction makes it Plain to you and to us that there is no Spiritual Gift you really truly want for the “Right Purpose” and the “Right Reason” that God will not give you!

    The Problem we have is that most of us have “Wrong Motives” and we need to clean that up.

    And in coveting the Best Gifts; Apostle Paul said: I show you an Excellent Way to go get your desires.

    There must be “Earnestness” but there is an Excellent Way of getting!

    How do we desire?

    He goes on to say: You may speak in Tongues of Men and of Angels; if you do not have Love, you are like a “Sounding Brass” or a “Tinkling Cymbal” – Like Tambourine that is making noise. That is all you are (DMC NOTES: The Bible Quotation under Reference here is 1 Corinthians 13:1).

    He says that you may know all the Mysteries; if you have no Love, you are Nothing!

    As a “Baby Christian”; I used to think that Apostle Paul was just trying to over-emphasised Love.

    But then Brethren, everybody who get Anointed and becomes Gifted and does not grow and abide in Love, will be destroyed – That is the Danger of the Gift!

    If you don’t grow in Love, the absence of Love will not reduce you to Nothing but to minus you!

    So, I know that you are eager to be used and I know that Daddy (DMC NOTES: Referring to Daddy GO) has been talking to you about the Miraculous.

    But if you get the Miraculous and there is absence of Love, the Miraculous will destroy you.

    People want to be the Greatest, the Most Noble, the Most Famous and so on – Wrong Motives and it will destroy you.

    So, what are you supposed to do?

    Simple – What is the Purpose of the Gift?

    To build Up the body, to bless the body!

    So, everytime that you want the Manifestations of a Gift, think of the Blessings!

    In 1978, I observed that my Ministry in Healing the Sick and Casting out Devils was growing enormously but it was lacking in Discerning of Spirits. I had Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom; I had Prophesy and so on and so forth.

    But I discovered that I was limited when it comes to some cases because of the absence of Discerning of Spirit.

    I turned to God and told Him: God, let us make a deal – I need You to add Discerning of Spirit to me so that it becomes easy for me to cast out devils. And God added it.

    That is different from – Oh God, give me Discerning Spirit so that everybody will know that I have a Discerning Spirit and they will know that I’m a Prophet. Stupid Motivation!

    I went to a Crusade somewhere; on the first Day of the Meeting, the crowd was very scanty and I decided to call for Miracles. And the Lord showed His Power, “Instant Healings’ – Deaf Dumb People who were sick, who were down; they were healed instantly with Testimonies.

    A Young Man came around and say: “Odu re” (DMC NOTES: Meaning Deceit or Gimmicks).

    He told one of my Disciples: See what your Oga (Meaning Master) is doing – He just came here doing Miracles and he just made an Altar Call and he went down.

    He said that if it is my Oga (Master); he will snap Pictures and say: Do you like it? Send it round. He will make Noise on it and use it to raise Money.

    “Odu re” (Deceits or Gimmicks) – I say: Hey!

    So, my Disciple told him – You and your Oga (Master) must be on your way to Hell.

    Go and ask Gehazi – He thought that the Gift of God was to make Money.

    The Gift of God is not for “Pomp and Pride” – Get your Motives Right!

    A lot of Anointed Men of God, their lives has been caught short.

    They were Mightily used by God for Miracles, Signs and Wonders but they became History before they died or they died abruptly because they touched the Glory of God, they touched the Money of God and they abuse the girls.

    Many People want to be used Mightily; but don’t forget that the Holy Spirit whose Power will be manifesting in you is called Holy!

    I saw a Man of God who became Classmates with God – They became equal with God after God has Anointed them.

    At their words the Lame will be rising and jumping, the Blind will be receiving their sight – They will be saying that it is me that God gave the Anointing.

    They will edit and correct the Word of God, saying that they are wiser than God, making themselves equal with God and that is why they enter into shame.

    Your Life will not end up like that – Amen!

    I don’t know where God is sending you. But if you want to covet the Best of the Gifts; tell God that I want this for the Purpose of Blessing your Body!

    If your Purpose today is for Soul Winning, then I am going to Pray – Any Spiritual Gift(s) that you want; my Father will release to you (Amen).

    Coveting the Best Gift must be done in Love – You must be Humble, you must be Kind and you must be Compassionate.

    • You heal the Sick, not to show Power but out of the Heart of Compassion that God if I were sick like this, I will want you to heal me.
    • You must be “Easy Going”, you must not be Boastful and you must be Patient.

    Because they will come when you are trying to sleep and you will be tempted to say: Don’t disturb me.

    No! You must never give up!

    For you to receive, you need to believe God and believed what I tell you.

    It does not take God 10 Minutes to give out. The issue is whether your Heart is ready to receive.

    I want to ask you some Questions:

    I. Do you believe the Prayers that has been Prayed for you this Morning?

    II. Do you believe that you are Anointed already?

    III. Do you believe that you will ask and you will be given?

    IV. Do you believe that the Fire will fall on you?

    I have seen God remaining Faithful to His Words over and over again – Always Faithful!

    Heaven will open shortly. Or let me say: Heaven has been opened, the Fire of the Gift(s) that you want will be released to you.

    So, if you want a Release of any Spiritual Gift – To help the work in your hand and the Kingdom; rise to your feet as I Pray for you now!

    Say: Father, I Promised You that I will not touch Your Glory, I will not touch the Glory that belongs to You. I will not be like Eli’s children, I will not be like Achan, I will not be like Gehazi. By the Grace of God, I will Sanctify your Money.

    Say: Father, I receive Grace not to touch Your Glory – Everytime You work through me, I will give You all the Glory. I will not look down on anybody, neither will I become rude to my Leaders.

    By the Grace of God, I also ask you to keep me from Sexual Lust and any other Uncleanliness. I will not take Advantage of the Anointing on my Life to abuse your flocks.

    I trust You Oh God that You will give me as I ask You today and You will do beyond my Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Based on this Commitment, Stretch forth your two (2) hands and ask the Lord in the Next 1 Minute the Gift(s) you want and what you want to do with it!

    Now, can we conclude your Prayer?

    And say: I receive by Faith what You Promised me.

    That if I lack, I shall be Given.

    I Open Up my Heart for the Fire to Fall down!

    Thank You Lord! I believe Your Word, I believe Your Promise and I believe Your Servant,

    It shall be unto me as I have asked in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    CLOSING PRAYER

    My Father, my Father; I am not the Owner of the Gifts – They are Called the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, You are the Owner.

    Lord Jesus, You sent the Holy Spirit now as their hands are opened – Fire!

    Let the Gifts fall – Prophesy, Diversity of Tongues, Interpretation of Tongues, Gifts of Healings, Working of Miracles, Faith, Discerning of Spirits, Words of Wisdom, Words of Knowledge.

    Oh Lord, as You have “Destined Individuals”; let them begin to receive now!

    Now shout – “I receive the Fire!!!

    Thank You Lord – The Fire is Falling now!

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

    BEYOND EXPECTATIONS (DAY 3: EVENING SESSION): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE, 5TH AUGUST, 2023.

    RCCG 2023 MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE (DAY: 3 EVENING SESSION)

    THEME: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 5TH AUGUST 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 24:3-5 AND 1 KINGS 19:8, 11-19

    SONG:

    Magnify Him, Magnify Him,
    Magnify Christ the Lord (Amen)!
    Magnify Him, Magnify Him,
    Magnify Christ the Lord.

    Let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: You are welcome, God Bless You.

    We want to take one (1) or two (2) Points quickly before we go on with our Session tonight;

    1. Our Traditional Rulers:

    It has Pleased the Almighty God to begin to use us in a Mighty way for the Salvation of the Souls of Traditional Rulers.

    And we want to call on all of us, that on a daily basis we Pray for them: that the Almighty God Who put them on the throne will stand by them, support them and Glorify Himself in their Domains.

    We also want to encourage that in all our Towns and Villages, we start what I would call “Palace Fellowship”.

    We should start the Fellowship in all Palaces, Preferably once a week. But if the Traditional Rulers say they want something bigger than once a week; let’s do so.

    Whether you believe it or not, the Almighty God Prefers to be addressed as the King of kings.

    In the olden days, it is the Kings that appoint Presidents – Read Daniel 6; you will find it is the King who apoints Presidents.

    Presidents come and go, Kings abide for Life. Please give the honour due to Kings. And start Palace Fellowship in your Domains.

    … Do I hear an Amen to that? Amen.

    1. Reports have reached me that some of our Auditors have become terrors. That when they come to visit a Province, they insist on staying in the best Hotels in town. Am I right or wrong?

    You are right Sir! Oh! So it’s true?

    They insist on being treated Specially – You won’t know if they are not higher than the General Overseer. And if you don’t comply, your Audit Report would be doctored.

    Do me a favour: just let me have the name and details of such an Auditor. But make sure you have your facts and figures correct, and leave the rest to God and us.

    I have assured you, we are going to have a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). After this Convention you will see Signs;

    Even on our Dove Media – Any kind of Presentations that will not hundred Percent (100%) Glorify the God of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) will not be allowed.

    1. Thank God for what our Mummy (GO) has shared with us – I want you to know that “our Youths are not going to be “For Show”, they are “For Gold”!”

    If you study your Bible very well, it was a son of Levi that married a daughter of Levi and they both Produced Moses.

    Boys, you can’t find a Girl to marry in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – Remain Single!

    … If you agree with me let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    The Elders have a saying; they say “If your daughters are beautiful, you can say so. Only that you can’t marry them.”

    In the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), my daughters are Beautiful!

    Someone asked me and said, Sir, is one of the conditions for being in the Mass Choir Physical Beauty? “What do you mean?” He said, everywhere I look among the Mass Choir, I can see that they are all Beautiful.”

    So, any Brother who cannot find a Sister here in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to marry, should remain Single – Period!

    It is because you go out from the House of God to go and pick a girl outside that we have all of these mess of having two (2) Receptions in one (1) Room. The group of the father-in-law are drinking alcohol, bringing occultic People to celebrate; Then the group of the couple (for the husband and wife) and their friends, all in the same room!

    You want to start your Marriage on “Divided Foundation”? – No more!

    Parents of wife, if they are of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), they won’t do that! And if any father-in-law wants to do such, you tell him: We won’t be part of it, you can have your own thing and leave us out of it. We won’t be there – We are going for our Honeymoon. Period!

    In those days when we were Youths, we took Pleasure in telling People that we are a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People; that we should shew forth the Praises of Him who hath called us out of Darkness into His Marvellous Light: (1 Peter 2:9).

    If you are one of us, shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Can you believe it?

    That in some of your Receptions, they Spray Money – Can that be true in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)?

    Do you know the meaning of “Spraying Money?” – You are telling the poor who may attend unfortunately, you are not welcome here!

    If I hear of such again in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); you will not be suspended, you’ll just go – Leave us alone.

    You say, “if we do that, some People will go.” Let them go!

    The Bible clearly states that: Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:2)

    Occasionally,, God needs to shake some People off so those who Remain can move forward.

    How many of you are ready to go with me to the Mountain Top this evening? – The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS.

    But the People who are outside, let them come as they are. But don’t remain there for too long.

    The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ (what happens?) he is a New Creature: Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become New.

    … We are going to Mount Horeb tonight!

    When I said I did not like beards, you said, show us where it is written “No beards.” Go ahead!

    1 Peter 3:3 says, Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of Plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

    You cannot dress like the People of the world anymore in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – You could come dressed that way, but don’t remain like that for too long.

    1 John 2:15-16 says, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the Pride of Life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

    I don’t want anybody who is not going to Heaven in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

    You say Daddy, this is the New Generation, you are Old Fashioned – Please, go to the New Generation Churches; leave those of us who are Old alone.

    If you are going to Heaven, come along with us; but no more nonsense!

    Can I hear an Amen this time from the Youths and Young Adults (YAYA)? – Amen!

    You can come as you are; after three (3) Months, if truly you are Born Again, it would show.

    You don’t dress like harlots – Expose your body and come to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) as a Temptation to those “Able Strong People”.

    This is because my Youths and Young Adults (YAYA) are not only Soldiers for Christ, they are Commandos.

    … Let me hear an Amen from you – Amen!

    I’ve said it once, I wasn’t around when somebody was messing around with our Bible College. And the Principal was Pleading with the fellow. What!

    Our Bible College does not just Produce Soldiers but Commandos. That’s why we don’t advertise our Bible College.

    Our Bible College is not for every Tom, Dick and Harry.

    Lord God Almighty!

    … Our Bible College is for Soldiers of Christ who in turn are Commandos.

    If you don’t like it, go! “Who said so?” The General Overseer! We don’t want Multitudes who just keep driving People away with their dressings and bad behaviours. We want members who are going to Heaven.

    But as my Father in Heaven lives, that will end with this Convention – Amen.

    I mean, not too long ago, one of my sons was going to Present a Drama. But in the Drama, there were Angels with Lipstick – Not just “Ordinary Lipstick”, but “Real Lipstick”!

    I didn’t say a word, but my God saw to it that it was never Presented.

    Somehow that Drama was never Presented, because I told my God to intervene.

    Any Pastor, whatever Title or Office; who may want to disobey these Orders, my God will intervene – Amen.

    … And you better say Amen very well – Amen!

    And every Plant which my Father has not Planted in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) shall be Uprooted – Amen.

    The Bible makes it clear that the Family comes before the Church.

    My God! You should never put the Church before your family. If your children are overcome by the world, where is our future?

    Oh Lord! Ask those People who did not do what we told them.

    I still remembered a Brother who came to us saying that God wants Him to marry a Particular Sister.

    I asked him, are you sure this is the Person God wants you to marry or you are just making it up? Have you Prayed very well about it? Yes Sir! I said to him, go and Pray about it again.

    … And those of you who know me understand what that means – It means No!

    He came back and said Daddy I have Prayed, she is the one for me. I Said okay. And then they got married.

    The first Night of their Marriage the boy said: in the Mighty Name of Jesus! And the Girl did not answer – True Story!

    The boy said, this is our first Prayer as married couple. And the girl said, what of all the Prayers that we have been Praying since today?

    I Pray for any of my children who is married to a devil – The Lord will set you free – Amen!

    You say Daddy, times have Changed!

    There is only One True God who is the same yesterday and today and for ever (Hebrews 13:8).

    You are a Chosen Generation and Children of Light – Our God is dressed in Light, so dress Properly as His Children.

    I mean, when you see some Pastor’s wives, you cannot tell between the ‘So called’ Pastor’s wife and an harlot.

    … Alright! Now this is a Solemn Assembly, by the way!

    Back to our Conference Hymn – There is something Special about the Hymn.

    Just go through it, every Verse is loaded. And like I said in the morning (Day 3 Morning Session – Which you can get to read All Sessions as at date on the Label of DMC), this is a Love Letter written to my Master.

    Take for Example, Verse 4 – it says:

    I have a friend
    He loves me so
    He’s all in all for me
    He meets my Needs
    To overflow
    I never lack for Joy.

    That is not an Ordinary statement – It is deep rooted (including all the other Verses).

    So, I will want to suggest that this Particular Hymn be made Popular in our Parishes – Even if it is once a Month. Please, do something about it.

    Let’s go ahead and sing our own Songs to the Lord. Worship Him. Make a Joyful noise to the Lord.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.

    OPENING PRAYER.

    King of Glory we Thank You. You made us for Your Pleasure, and we just want to Please You.

    So tonight in Obedience to Your Word, we will make a Joyful Noise to You.

    Thank You Father. You are the All-Sufficient God; the Only One Who can do all things, to You we shout Hallelujah!

    The God of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), the One Who is going to give us a Brand New Beginnings.

    Lord, as we move to the Top of the Mountain with You, do something New in our lives.

    Tonight Lord, deliver us from everything and everyone trying to stop us.

    As we climb the Mount of Horeb, bring us out from the Miry clay and Plant our feet on the rock to Stand.

    Make us to go higher in Life than all our enemies.

    We lift our voices to You, Lord God Almighty and we shout Hallelujah!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.

    … Please, be seated!

    We have been looking at Psalms 24:25 – That’s the actual Passage.

    But tonight (Day 3 Evening Session), we want to look at 1 Kings 19:8, 11-19 – You can read the whole Chapter.

    1 Kings 19:8, 11-19:

    8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.

    11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

    12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

    13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

    14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

    15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:

    16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

    17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

    18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

    19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.

    I wish we have the whole week to look at this Part of our discussion. But we don’t have the whole week. And we still need to look at Mount Carmel tomorrow Evening (Day 4 Evening Session).

    MOUNT HOREB.

    I want to get to Mount Horeb tonight; and I want some of you to come with me. Because if we can get to Mount Horeb, apart from several other things; certain Specific Things can happen:

    1. THE WIND CAN BLOW:

    And when the Wind Blows some things also happens:

    I. When the Wind Blows on Mount Horeb tonight, a New Way can be Opened for me (us).

    Because it was when the Wind blew in Exodus 14:21-28 for the children of Israel that God created a way where there was no way before.

    God has opened I doors for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nations of the world – Even in Nations that People cannot believe.

    Believe it or not; we have a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Iran – It will surprise you, he is a Pastor I have never met. But almost every week, he is texting me with Unbelievable Testimonies.

    He would ask me to Pray concerning a Problem, and by the next week Testimonies would come!

    Things are so rough over there, that when he wants to Pray instead of saying in Jesus’ Name, he says “BOJ” (Blood of Jesus). And God knows! God can operate in Codes too: and Mighty Prayers are being answered.

    I got a Testimony from him this Last July – A couple of Months ago, he called requesting we Pray for a woman who had no womb and she wanted a child – Nothing is impossible with God!

    I Prayed for her over the Phone. Last week the Testimony came – The woman is now Pregnant.

    But we need New Ways to open where there was no way before – If we get to Mount Horeb and the wind blows, there will be New Ways.

    We heard Testimony of how the Wind blew in one of our Continents and one of our Senior Pastors suddenly got Inspiration to Organize Evangelistic Program “Beautiful Feet for Ninety (90) Days” – For Ninety (90) Days, they went out daily on Evangelism and Thousands of Souls were won to the Lord.

    After the Ninety (90) Days was over, Brethren said to the Senior Pastor: “Daddy the Ninety (90) Days are over, are we going to stop the Evangelism? How can! By next time we will be talking of hundred thousand of Souls.

    It is not only his Continent that can organize such Programs; if God can do it in that Continent, He can do it in Africa because our God is no respect of Person.

    II. When the Wind Blows on Mount Horeb tonight, then according to Ezekiel 37:1-10: Dry bones will live again.

    The Wind will blow on us tonight and all the Opportunities we have lost will be restored – Amen.

    Years ago, after one of our Conventions, I was extremely tired; so we wanted to go and rest for a while. So my wife and I with our smaller children went to Whispering Pines in Badagry, Lagos State Nigeria. It was new then (I don’t know if it is still in existence).

    And as I sat down there very tired, one Young man tried to make me talk but I refused to talk.

    It was later on I found out that he was the son of an extremely Popular Muslim man and God had brought him to me.

    He wanted to talk and I was not ready to talk. After I discovered I had lost a Soul because I refused to talk, I cried in agony, “Oh God, what have I done?”

    About two (2) years ago I got a Letter from him – “Daddy GO, can I come and see you?”

    Ha! He came, and I said, do you remembered what happened that day? He said, that’s why I have come to you now because I know you have something that should be mine but you wouldn’t give me when I needed it.

    Oh, in the Name that’s above every other name, every Opportunity you have lost shall be returned to you – Amen.

    III. When the Wind Blows on Mount Horeb, something would happen to me that would make it Possible for me to “See”.

    In Matthew 8:1, it is the Story of a Leper – The wind blew past him so he went to the feet of the Carrier of the Holy Spirit and said, will You be able to make me Clean? And the Lord Jesus said be Clean! But keep quiet, don’t tell anyone. He smiled, “how can I keep quiet with what has just happened to me?”

    As the Lord lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, you will be delivered from every Spiritual Blindness – Amen!

    There will be Testimony that will encourage you to serve the Lord for the rest of your Life – Amen.

    The Wind Blew past Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52; and the man born blind suddenly began to see.

    If I can get to Mount Horeb tonight and the Wind blows, I can begin to see Wonderous Things.

    Psalms 119:18 says, Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy Law.

    IV. I want the Wind to Blow on Mount Horeb so that I can become an Oracle of God.

    Psalms 119:27 says, Make me to understand the way of thy Precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

    The Problem with some of you, Men of God is that you say, “when I Preach, the Congregation don’t pay attention to me”. Why? It is because you Preach the same way you have been Preaching for years.

    Spend time with God and His Word, develop yourself, so that the Congregation will pay rapt attention when why listen to you, and they will keep coming.

    Because the the Bible says His Word will not return back to Him void.

    But it will take insight to see things that Ordinary eyes cannot seem.

    If I can get to Mount Horeb, and the wind blows, my Ministry will Change.

    1. Not only the wind, there was an EARTHQUAKE.

    I believe I need a Special Earthquake to open Prison doors.

    In Acts 16:25-34, Paul and Silas were Praising God: yokes were broken, Prison door opened, enemies became servants and begged them to leave.

    I believe I need another Earthquake; I experienced one in Tulsa USA – When my father-in-the-Lord announced that I would be the one to take over when he is gone to be with the Lord. As he was Praying for me, the Hotel shook to its Foundation.

    That made the Management shut down the Hotel for Thirty (30) years until was back in Tulsa USA.

    I had compassion on the owners, went to the Hotel, laid my hands and decree it be re-opened.

    I have seen the Earth quake here on this Campground when I was Praying and said: Lord take me away, I don’t want to be an “Ordinary Pastor” without the Power to Perform Miracles.

    When the Earth quake, it was felt as far as Ijebu Ode (DMC NOTES: This is a town still in Ogun State Nigeria and some Kilometers from Redemption Camp) – When Picture frames hung on walls fell down.

    I have seen the Earth quake before; but I need a bigger one. Because if the Earth can shake during this Conference, no one will return with the Sickness they came with – Amen!

    When the Earth quaked for Paul and Silas, it affected every Prisoner.

    I would like to go home after this Conference and just ask my Congregation to shout Hallelujah and Healings will take Place – Amen.

    1. And after the Earthquake, FIRE.

    If only I can get to Mount Horeb and the Fire falls, it can only mean one (1) thing: that God shall arise for me.

    Psalms 68:1-2 says:

    Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked Perish at the Presence of God.

    When the Fire of the Lord falls, my enemies will melt like wax – Amen.

    … But why go to Horeb?

    1. I want to Hear the “STILL SMALL VOICE”.

    There are some deep Secrets that you can only hear when there is absolute Silence.

    If you look at our Sound Systems, you have to raise the Volume. They are marked 1 – 100. And some times, you may have to tune it to level 60 before you can be able to hear.

    Yet it is Possible to hear at level one (1).

    Oh! The first Mechanic I had – He was a great Mechanic. Whenever he wanted to set the engine of my car he would just drive to a secluded spot – “I want “Absolute Silence” so that I can tune correctly.”

    I want to begin to hear the “Still Small Voice”; because

    • I want God to begin to tell me things He would not tell others.
    • I want to be able to hear Him whisper to me. And I don’t want to stuggle before I hear Him.

    It is when you get to that Level that you begin to give “Fresh Instructions”; because God is taking you somewhere – Amen!

    The first time I heard something about how my future will be, It was in a bush where I went to ease myself.

    My father-in-the-Lord had travelled to Israel on Holy Pilgrimage and I was to take Charge of the Service.

    I was in the bush at the Outskirts of my Village when suddenly I heard a Voice: “What if your father-in-the-Lord does not return, who do you think would succeed him?”

    … And I was discussing as if someone was Physically with me until it was becoming embarrassing.

    Won’t it be Good if God tells you what He has in Stock for your Future?

    But then wonderful things will happen when we get to Mount Horeb;

    • When the Wind Blows, ways will open for us;
    • When the Earth quakes, yokes will be destroyed;
    • I want the Fire to fall so that my enemies will melt like wax;

    And then the “Still Small Voice”, what did He say? That is Crucial:

    He said to Elijah who was running away from Jezebel (who was far, far below) who wanted to kill him.

    Just as there are Jezebels in Church. But He wants His Anointing to Flow through you so you can be His Battle Axe and weapons of war.

    Jeremiah 51:20 says: Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

    … I wish I have all the time tonight;

    First, Anointing will Flow to all of you; not only to become weapons of war because God did not call you to become a Civilian or a Businessman.

    He called you to be Soldiers, and we must Please Him.

    Don’t just be a battle axe, but begin to Produce more battle axes for God.

    Several years ago when I was a very Young Christian, God laid it in my Heart to gather a Group of Young People as Battle Axes, and Pray for them to go into town – I called them “Fishers of Men”.

    When I see some of them now, they have all grown grey hairs.

    I told them, enter into “any” house and Preach Christ to them. Don’t argue with them, if there is any challenge, bring the Problem, we will Pray in the Name of Jesus, and there will be Testimonies.

    I sent them out! Two (2) of them went to Otta (DMC NOTES: A town in Ogun State Nigeria).

    They went to Preach to the Chief Herbalist of the town – That one looked at them and said, “I will excuse you because you are kids. Can’t you see charms all over this Place?”

    He said listen, I control all the Witches here. In this Land i am the Power here.

    And the children asked him, have you any Problem?

    His wife was in Labour and was bleeding. He was representing the occult that gave him Power. And they were the ones dealing with him. Because apparently they came for their Salary once in a while – “His Pregnant Wives”!

    Whenever his wives were Pregnant, the occult will kill them.

    He had been married Seventeen (17) times and all of them died during childbirth. Funny enough he didn’t want this one to die and was trying to save her.

    So he brought her out and these little children Prayed and left! Just as they were about going out from the Compound they heard, “my children come back!”

    What has happened? The bleeding had stopped!

    These are what we want to see and not the ones wearing wigs an India hair – A set of hair from Buddha. Battle Axe that will tell Demons to ‘shut up’ and they would obey.

    We don’t want Children who are “For Show” – We want Children who are “For Gold”.

    Some of us are old and tired; but by the Grace of God, we are Old Timers, and God has been helping us to keep Standing.

    In the Name that’s above every other name, my God will keep you Strong to the end – Amen.

    But the Almighty God wants you to go out from here and be His Commando.

    I Plead with you – Allow your children join the Pastor’s Seed Family (PSF). The hand of the Lord will grab them and very soon, they will become Battle Axes and Commandos for Christ – Amen!

    The one who is going to ascend the Hills of the Lord cannot be like the world – What you wear shows who you are serving!

    Years ago, it was in vogue for Ministers of God to wear “Flowing Agbada” and be Preaching on the Altar.

    I couldn’t care less! I wore my “French Suit” and occasionally “Regular Suit”.

    And one Minister of God said I dressed like a Hunter.

    But that Man of God is not like now, things have changed.

    While God is still helping us (by His Grace); they have seen that “this man is not ‘For Show’ but for Gold.”

    If only you can see the God in me – Not the GO (General Overseer) talking about your Future.

    But I tell you, it is not how beautiful you are to the world that matters; it is the ability to Preach, Fast, Pray, and get People captivated about the Glory of God.

    They don’t want to know about you or what you are wearing.

    If I come to your Church, and you ask 10-20 People what I was putting on, they will tell you, “what is my concern about what he was wearing, my thought was on how his hand will be touch my head.”

    I want Him to reveal to me things about my Future.

    Let me conclude:

    I want Him to bring me in contact with Elisha.

    I know some of you would jump into conclusion, “Daddy is talking about who would succeed him.”

    No! You got it wrong! When God is ready, He will show me.

    Elijah didn’t go to Mount Horeb to shout that he needed a Successor – They were together for years, focused on what God has already settled.

    God is going to reveal your future to you when you ready – Speculations stop when you are no longer in Control.

    I. But God brought him (Elijah) in contact with someone who would lift his hand.

    The Bible in 2 Kings 3:11 described Elisha as someone who can become a Destiny Helper;

    • Someone who would make the work easier for you to do.
    • Someone who would add Value to you and make you Value what God has Planned for your Life.

    God knows all your friends who have the resources you Need; He knows the ones who will be there to help, and the ones who will cause you agony.

    Many of you have friends who have what you Need but are not Supporting you!

    But if you pass through Mount Horeb, God has the ability to Command Help to come to the one who needed to be helped.

    I have said it before, I was in London to Print our RCCG Sunday Manuals, and I needed Fifty Pounds (£50) to buy Books.

    I said to God, I am Fasting, but I need Fifty Pounds (£50) to buy Books.

    And my Phone rang! I said, God bless you!

    The man said is that Biyi? I said I am not Biyi, I am Adeboye.

    He said, which Adeboye? I said Pastor Adeboye. And he screamed! He called his brother, come and see who I am talking to (Probably they were discussing about me).

    They came to visit me and when they were going they gave me Fifty Pounds (£50).

    I was glad! I was going to sleep, but said, God if I had known, I would have asked for a hundred Pounds (£100).

    And as I was about to lay down, the door bell rang. I’m coming! I got to the door, the fellow slipped an envelope through the hole.

    I recognized the handwriting on the envelope – The man is a “World Champion Miser”; he has never given me anything.

    And again I said, if I had known, I would have asked for a Hundred and Fifty Pound (£150).

    In a Miraculous way, another Fifty Pounds (£50) came!

    And I said, God I am joking!

    There is somebody somewhere who has your money in his Pocket – All the money you need to make your job easy.

    II. If I go to Mount Horeb, God can show me People who know something Deeper than I know.

    At Mount Horeb you’ll come in contact with Elijah and your Labour will not be in vain.

    You see, Elijah got so tired. He knew, “this witch (Jezebel) is coming to take off my head.” God said, don’t worry yourself, somebody is going to continue even from where you stopped.

    I think I need to hear God say to me that my Labour is not in vain – God will encourage you!

    I’ve told you before, I was on this Campground after a vigil, I put my head on the table to rest.

    As I sat on the table, it occurred to me that People are always, saying “Pray for us!” but they don’t care. I was down and discouraged “God they don’t care.”

    A little girl stood before me and said, “I have never heard from God. But this Morning, I believed I heard God say I should bring this cake for you.”

    I took the cake, I ate everything – I am not a cake man.

    I heard God say, I thought you said Nobody cares?

    So many of you are discouraged, but you have a Father Who cares!

    … Come with me to Mount Horeb and you will hear the “Still Small Voice” of God.

    He will Reward you in ways you can never explain.

    His Reward is not in Titles – I will rather be a Deacon with the ability to heal than to be a General Overseer (GO) who can’t heal a rat.

    He linked Elisha to Elijah, to tell you that you have not laboured in vain.

    He made Elijah meet Elisha, to say to you: My son, you will end well.

    So how many of you want to go to Mount Horeb with me tonight? – The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    Say to God: Let the Wind blow, let the Earth quake, let the fire Fall; turn me to a Producer or Battle Axes. Link me up Lord God Almighty to my Destiny Helpers. Let me hear You say to me tonight, my son you will end well. Give me a glimpse of the Manifestation of Your Glory.

    See you tomorrow (Day 4 Evening) by 7pm.

    It’s going to be a great, great Convention – A Convention none of us will ever forget – Amen.

    Tonight I will be speaking to you very briefly on: BEYOND SALVATION.

    My Text will be Hebrews 10:19-23:

    19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

    20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

    21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

    22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

    23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

    PART ONE (1):

    When we want to talk about “Beyond Salvation”, we could visit it from two (2) Different Angles:

    I. We could say well, Salvation is step No. 1.

    II. And then after that comes Sanctification.

    Salvation means your sins have been washed away; your files have been cleared of all queries. Everything is clean.

    Sanctification means that ability to sin has been removed from you; your heart of Stone is replaced with the Heart of flesh. So that you now have the ability to live in such a manner that there will never be another query in your file.

    And then we can move on and say after Sanctification comes Baptism in the Holy Ghost; and then go on to Dedication and on and on and on!

    But then, I would rather want to look at the Topic from another Perspective.

    …That when you are Born Again, you expect certain things:

    The Number One of which of course, is that you miss hell and you Gain Heaven.

    John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not Perish, but have Everlasting Life.

    And then, Salvation confers on you several other Wonderful things – I mean for Example:

    I. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, Therefore if any Man be in Christ, he is a New Creature: Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become New.

    II. Salvation confers on you a Brand New Beginning:

    When you are saved, it doesn’t matter how terrible your Past has been, that is gone! When you have a New Beginning, Old things are passed away, all things become New.

    III. So you can get a New Name: A New name written down in Glory.

    John 1:11-12 says, He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

    So when you are saved, you get a New Name. You used to be called a “Son of the devil”; they used to call you “Baba Ke” but now you are a Child of God – A New name!

    IV. When you are Born Again, you get a New Accommodation:

    Colossians 1:12-14 made it clear, Salvation gives you the Privilege of being translated out of the Kingdom of Darkness to the Kingdom of God.

    You move out of Darkness.

    V. Salvation gives you the Privilege of being translated out of the kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of the dear Son of God.

    You move from out of Darkness into Light.

    VI. Salvation brings you under a New Management.

    You were under the Management of Satan but now you are under the Management of Jesus Christ.

    Matthew 11:28-30, where he says: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

    Get away from your Old Manager, come into Me.

    And then He says: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your Souls.

    And He emphasized it that: My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

    … You come under a New Management.

    But there are more Benefits far Beyond Ordinary Expectations because you are saved by the Blood of Jesus, according to 1 John 1:7 which say, the Blood of Jesus cleanse from all sins.

    1. Because all of your sins have been cleansed during Salvation, you immediately have Access to the Mighty Arms of God.

    Isaiah 59:1 says, Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

    1. And you have immediate Access to the Ears of God.

    The same Isaiah 59:1-2, But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

    … But the Problem has been your sin!

    Now your sins are gone: washed away by the Blood, so immediately after Salvation you have access to His Arms, you have access to His Ears.

    1. Which means you have access to Answered Prayers.

    According to Psalms 65:2. It says: O thou that hearest Prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

    The moment you are Born Again, the moment that Blood washes away your sin, you have Unlimited access to Answered Prayers.

    But that’s not all because of that blood!

    1. Immediately that Blood washes you Clean, you have Victory over Satan.

    Because Revelation 12:10-11 says, They overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb.

    That Blood that conquered Satan becomes available to you.

    1. The moment you are Born Again, you have Access to Protection from Death.

    Because you read Exodus 12:1-23. But specifically, Exodus 12:23 says: For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the Destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

    The Almighty God has given an assurance that when Death is Passing by; when He sees the Blood He will pass over you.

    Many of you are alive today because the Blood Protected you from Coronavirus.

    And I have the assurance – It doesn’t matter what else is coming, that Blood will keep on Protecting you – Amen.

    1. But then there is something even bigger in the Text that I read to you (Hebrew 10:19-23).

    If you read Hebrews 10:19, the Bible tells us that because of the Blood, that Blood that gives you Salvation;You have access to the Holiest:

    You know, if you ask those who know the Bible very well, they will tell you, there is a Place called the Holiest in the Temple of God – Only the High Priest can go there once a year. And when he is going there he will be going with the blood of an animal that has been Sacrificed.

    And when he is going in there, they tie a chain round his leg and bells round his feet so that as he is walking about in the Holiest, if he makes the slightest mistake he will die immediately.

    So when they don’t hear the jingling of the bell anymore they use the chain to pull him out.

    So the Holiest is a very Sacred Place – You don’t just go there unless you are the High Priest (once a year)!

    But the Bible now said: If you are saved, washed by the Blood you can walk into the Holiest.

    In case you don’t fully get the importance of that, let me give you a little illustration – By the Grace of God, I have gained access to many Heads of States all over the world.

    When you want to visit a Head of State, when he wants to grant you a Private Audience – Whether you are the one who requested for it or he is the one who invited you to come, Ah! you have to pass through many gates.

    Gate Number 1: They want to check whether your name is there somewhere that you are expected.

    Gate Number 2, Gate Number 3, Gate Number 4, Gate Number 5. Maybe by the time you get to Gate Number 6 – By then they would have taken your Telephone, everything! And then they usher you to a room.

    And you find some other People who have been there before you, who have been waiting maybe for one (1) hour or two (2) and you think, well, I’m almost there! But then there will still be gates.

    The first time I visited the Head of a State, I came back Thanking God that it is easier to see Jesus than to see the President. I don’t need to go through any gate. If I need help, the moment I say JESUS, I am in the Presence of the Most High.

    … If you know what I am talking about, shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    Imagine that you are traveling on the highway, top speed and suddenly one of the tyres of your car burst and the car begins to summersault and you have to pass through Gate Number 1, Gate Number 2, Gate Number 3 before help will come.

    The moment the car begins to summersault, what do you shout? JESUS!

    Let me hear you shout that Name again: JESUS!

    … And immediately, Help comes!

    1. The moment you are Born Again, washed in the Blood, you gain access to the Holiest; and you gain access to the Name (JESUS).

    Because you are saved by the Blood of the One Whose Name is JESUS.

    Matthew 1:21 says, And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for He shall save his People from their sins.

    … You have access to a Name that means ‘Saviour’.

    And because you have access to the Name, you have access to Dominion.

    Because it is written in Philippians 2:9-11 that His Name is above every other name; that at the Name of Jesus, all knees should bow.

    1. The moment you are saved, you get Recognition in Hell.

    Acts 19:11-17. God started doing some Special Miracles in the Life of Paul

    He is going to do Special Miracles in the Life of somebody during this Convention (DMC FAMILY) – Amen.

    And some People tried to copy him and they said, “in the Name of Jesus Christ that Paul Preaches, devil come out of this man”. The devil said: Jesus, I know, Paul also I know, but who are you?

    You may not know it, but the moment you are Born Again, Hell knows! Witches and wizards they know! They know you ae different now. They recognize you.

    … But because of time,

    1. The moment you are Born Again, you have Access to a Great Prayer Partner who is called the Holy Spirit.

    And the Bible says in Romans 8:26, Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should Pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

    During this Convention, you are going to Pray correctly – Amen.

    PRAYER NO. 1:

    So Part One (1) of my discussion is going to lead to one very Special Prayer – When the time comes, very soon. I mean, those of us who are already Born Again; sure that the Blood had washed us clean.

    And that Prayer would be an apology to God – Apology that you have been living Below Expectations. That you have not made use of all the Privileges available to you. That you have been wasting the Powers, Abilities that Salvation had made available to you.

    Your Story would be like the Story of somebody that they said bought a Ticket to travel by Sea to a Foreign Land. He bought the Ticket, got on the Boat. When he was boarding the boat, he took a lot of biscuits with himself.

    And every time, throughout the journey, he was just eating biscuit and drinking water. Until somebody found him: what’s going on? We have not been seeing you in the dining hall? He said, I don’t have money to buy food in the dining hall. They said, Haa! The food there is free – It’s included in the Ticket.

    Some of us are Born Again and eating “biscuits” when the Almighty God has Prepared a Buffet for you.

    We are going to need to apologize to God that we have been wasting a lot of Blessings that belong to us. As a result of which we would go angrily after all those benefits;

    And in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, we would get them all back – Amen!

    … But that is Part One (1). There is Part Two (2): don’t worry I will soon finish. You know me, I can’t Preach for long.

    PART TWO (2):

    I have told you again and again that if the Bible teaches anything at all – From all the Teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is that “Nothing goes for Nothing.”

    Oh! Salvation is Free – Jesus Paid for it with His Blood.

    Now, you are Born Again, What are the Expectations of God from you?

    Because we have come, waiting to receive from God – Miracles Beyond Expectations. But He is also expecting certain things from us:

    For Example, in 1 Peter 1:18-19 the Bible says, because you have been bought with the Precious Blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot:

    You are a very expensive commodity in the Hand of the Most High – You are bought, not with Silver and Gold but with the Blood.

    1. Then the Passage went further to say, God expects you to Glorify Him with your Body.

    The moment you are Born Again, you are no longer your own, you have been bought – Not with Silver and Gold but with the Blood of the Lamb.

    Your body is not your own, God expects from you that you don’t use your body just anyhow.

    So, when you hear somebody say, “I can do whatever I like with my body” you know that fellow is not Born Again. Because your body is not your own, you are bought with the Precious Blood of the Lamb.

    And so God expects from you, according to 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; that from the moment you are Born Again, you flee every form of Sexual Immorality. Because it is not your body, so you can’t do what you like with your body anymore because it belongs now to the One Who has Paid your dowry – The Lord Jesus Christ.

    1. He expects you from the moment you are Born Again, translated out of Darkness into Light, He expects your Light to Shine.

    Matthew 5:14-16 says, Ye are the Light of the world. A City that is set on an Hill cannot be hid.

    … You see, the moment you are Born Again you become a Light. And your Light must Shine.

    He said, Let your Light so Shine before men, that they may see your Good works, and Glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

    He is the One Who bought you with His Blood; so He expects you through your action, your words, your Evangelism, to Shine!

    1. The moment you are Born Again it says you are no longer Ordinary, you are now the Salt of the Earth.

    And amongst so many things that salt does, is that it destroys Corruption.

    • Salt is what you use when you don’t have fridge and you want to Preserve fresh meat. You rub salt on it to keep flies away. Keep corruption away!
    • Salt is a fertilizer: it can be used as fertilizer to cause Growth.
    • Salt of course, is to make things Sweet.

    The Word of God says the white of an egg has no taste until you add salt to it.

    And He expects you to be the Salt of the Earth: to be the Destroyer of Corruption in your Place of work.

    When I was younger, everywhere we go, those who want to do evil hate us because they know that our Presence would not allow them to operate freely. We were the Salt. Thank God some of us still are!

    He says you either do the work of Salt or you will be thrown away.

    The Word of God made it clear in Ephesians 2:8-9; that you are saved by Grace. You didn’t work for it. God out of his Infinite Mercy chose you for Salvation.

    Don’t let me ever hear you say: “When I found Christ” – Christ was not lost! You are the one who He found where you were lost.

    Don’t let me hear you say, “Oh, I chose to give my Life to Jesus.” No, No, No! It is out of His Mercy.

    He said it clearly: “Nobody can come to me except my Father draws him.”

    You would be surprised tonight now, that in spite of all the Benefits that I said are available to those who are Born Again, when I make the Altar Call, not everybody who needs Salvation would come!

    Those who come are those that the Father in Heaven will draw to Jesus Christ.

    We were many the day I gave my Life to Jesus Christ – We heard the same Sermon. Something Pushed me forward; because when I joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), I had a Problem and I wanted the Problem solved. And they told me: if you get to this Church, Oh! Their Prayer is Fire!

    So I came, ready to Pay for their Prayer. And they kept on telling me, Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ. Forsake your way of sin, etc. And I was saying: what’s wrong with these People?

    And most of the People then were not highly Educated and I was a University Lecturer.

    I was saying, what do they know about sin? I mean, you want to call ‘having fun’ sin? What do they know about Philosophy and so on?

    But a day came and the Preaching was on. And something deep down within me said: you said these People are not Educated, they don’t know Philosophy, they don’t know Psychology. Look At their faces, they have Peace. Have you, with your PhD?

    Something within me said: Look at them, they are not asking you to surrender to them, they are asking you to surrender to your Maker – The One Who controls your Future. If God does not Push you forward, you won’t come.

    That Night when they gave the Altar Call, I ran! And today, I am Grateful to God that I ran! Because somebody Pulled me.

    So you are saved by Grace not by your own work.

    But God does not expect you to abuse that Grace.

    Galatians 2: 20-21 says yes, you are saved by Grace. But you must know you are Crucified with Christ. And must not frustrate that Grace.

    Because I know you have heard all manners of Preachers saying that – Oh! Once you are Born Again, Grace will cover any other thing. You can do whatever you like after that.

    The Word of God is clear – You cannot continue in sin and expect Grace to abound. God forbid!

    God does not expect you to frustrate the Grace.

    God says in His Word that once upon a time you were like a dog – I am not the one who said so.

    Matthew 15:21-28; remember the woman who came crying to Jesus Christ, asking for Healing for her daughter. Jesus told her, “I can’t give the bread of children to dogs.

    Two (2) categories of People – Children and Dogs.

    But the day you gave your Life to Jesus Christ; the day Jesus saved your Soul, you became a son. You were a dog, now you are a son.

    And He therefore, does not expect you to go back to your Old ways.

    In 2 Peter 2:20-22, He made it clear: Only dogs return to their vomit.

    God expects from you that once you have been washed in the Blood; once Grace has brought you to the Lord Jesus Christ; once you have said, “Old things are Passed away, that all things have become New” you will never go back.”

    Because to go back to any of those things that you said bye-bye to, that means your dog has gone back to its vomit.

    But you know what He says will happen?

    It does not matter who is the Professor who has been telling you all kinds of things about how you should live after you are Born Again. God says, you return back to your vomit, you will be kept out of his Kingdom.

    In Revelation 22:15 He says, without are dogs, all backslider – All those who became children and then returned to their vomit. “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”

    1. The Almighty God expects you as a Child of God to Redeem Time – The time that you have wasted.

    Ephesians 5:14-16 asks you to redeem your Time.

    You have wasted so much Time, do something! He said because the days are evil.

    May be you didn’t understand the drama that the children Presented – The Drama shows you one Problem after another Problem, after another Problem! Until Jesus returns.

    The days are evil. And It is going to get worse before it gets better – That’s when the Lord returns.

    When He returns, it’s then there will be Peace because He is the Prince of Peace.

    When He returns, that is when all Problems would be gone!

    And those of us who belong to Him of course, will reign with Him forever and ever – Amen!

    1. But He wants you to act quickly.

    Why? He says, And, behold, I come quickly; and my Reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be – Revelation 22:12;

    In Revelation 2:1-5, He said, I know some of you have tried ooo; you have worked. But you have left your first Love.

    You used to Love me more than anything else. Now, you Love something else – Your Love for me has withered.

    He says hurry up! Get back to your “First Love”, so I don’t come and take away your Light.

    I know some of you are not expecting this kind of Preaching tonight.

    But if we don’t lay the Foundation, you would miss the Blessings of this week. And I don’t want you to miss any of them. And if I don’t tell you the Truth, who else is going to? You are my children.

    And when I get to Heaven, I want to see all of you there – Amen.

    He wants you to act Speedily; act Quickly as the days are going.

    Remember what the Bible says in Joshua 13:1; Now Joshua was Old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art Old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much Land to be Possessed.

    … God said to Joshua you are Old and stricken in years, and you have not completed the work I gave you to do.

    Before God draws the curtain; before He says no more – There’s nothing more you can do; He wants you to wake up.

    That is talking about those of us who are sure of our Salvation.

    1. God expects a Life of Spotless Holiness from you.

    He expects that you keep your body Pure and Holy because you are Precious to Him and bought with the Blood of the Lamb.

    PRAYER NO. 2:

    So your next Prayer Point would be LORD, Thank You for Preserving my Life till today.

    I will Redeemed Time; I will go back to my First Love; I will serve You Beyond Expectations.

    I will tell just one little Story – It’s not a Story you have not heard before. But I believe God wants me to tell you again.

    I told you I was Praying towards one Congress, and all of a sudden I heard God say, “Son, give me your two (2) cars.”

    And I had two (2) cars then – One was a Lincoln Town Car, the other was a Lexus Jeep. I was feeling good: If I want to travel rough roads, I take Jeep; Smooth roads, I take the Town Car.

    “Son, give me your two (2) cars!” – I know His voice, but I said, God that can’t be You!

    I began to tell Him what is written – What Your Word says is that if I have two (2) coats I am to give one out. I have two (2) cars You asked me to give both of them?

    He told me something that I have never told anybody before (I am telling you now):

    I. Do you want your Blessings to remain usual or do you want to go to the Unusual?

    II. Do you want to stay within Expectations or you want to go Beyond Expectations?

    You know the result!

    • I don’t want my Life to be Ordinary. You know we have been talking about that;
    • I don’t want to be an Ordinary Pastor; I don’t want to be an Ordinary Christian.
    • I don’t want the Natural when I can have the Supernatural.
    • I don’t want the Ordinary when I can have the Extraordinary;

    What about you? Thr DMC FAMILY MEMBERS wants to go Beyond Expectations!

    So when it is time to Pray you are going to cry to God and tell Him:

    PRAYER NO. 3:

    From this Night onward, let everything about me be BEYOND EXPECTATIONS.

    ALTAR CALL:

    But before we Pray; I have spoken to those of you who are out there and you are not yet Born Again. You know it, because you are still living in sin (maybe up to yesterday).

    But the Blood is available to you – To wash away your sins: to give you access to the Arms of God, access to the Ear of God, access to the Presence of God, access to Victory over the devil, access to all manners of Blessings.

    If you are ready to Genuinely give your Life to Jesus Christ; that you want everything to become Brand New.

    • If you are really, really ready to say bye-bye to the devil, welcome Jesus.
    • If you are ready to say bye-bye to your Old Master and you want Jesus to take over.

    Please do so now!

    If want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, Stand Up before Him wherever you are now or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC – Cry to Him to have Mercy on you, to save your Soul.

    I’m not talking of coming casually – No, No, No! You really mean business. You want an end to a Life of sin, a Life of shame, a Life of being under the control of Satan.

    Come and surrender to Jesus Christ now so that I can Pray for your Salvation.

    … Jesus is not begging you to clap! Don’t insult Him with your “Casual Clapping’ – He expects better things!

    Those of you who are ready to Genuinely surrender your Life to Jesus Christ, cry to Him now:

    • Tell Him to Please, save your Soul.
    • Tell Him: I don’t want to have anything to do with the devil anymore. I want to be a Child of God, I don’t want to be a dog.

    I want to serve You for the rest of my Life – Have Mercy on me, wash me Clean with Your Blood.

    And the rest of us Please, let’s Stretch our hands towards our New Brothers and Sisters and intercede for them – Pray that the Almighty God will save their Souls, even as He saved your Soul.

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

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION:

    My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Word;

    And I want to Thank You for Your Promise: that whosoever will come unto You, You will in no wise cast out.

    Your Children have come to You now my Father and my God:

    • Please receive them, in Jesus’ Name.
    • Have Mercy on them, in Jesus’ Name!
    • Let Your Blood wash away their sins, in Jesus’ Name!
    • Save their Souls tonight.
    • Write their names in the Book of Life.
    • Receive them into the Family of God.
    • Give them Brand New names!

    And from now on, anytime they call on You, Please answer them by Fire!

    And don’t let them ever go back into the world.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Now those of you who have just Genuinely Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, I rejoice with you. Because I can assure you by the Word of God; because you came, and because we’ve Prayed, you are Born Again now.

    So let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    Then I want to assure you that from now on, I will be Praying for you. So I am going to need your names, your’s Address and your Prayer Requests.

    The rest of us we are in two (2) Categories:

    Category one would be those who are Backslidden.

    When it is time to Pray, your Prayer tonight will just be: God, Please take me back. I want to come back to You; I’ve returned to my vomit, but no more!

    The rest of us who have been kept by the Power of God all these years, we are going to Pray:

    1. You are going to say: Thank God for Preserving your Life even till today.
    2. You are going to apologise to Him that you have not made full use of the Benefits available to you as a True Child of God.

    Tell Him: I’m sorry, I have not made full use of all the Benefits of Salvation. And I will Change.

    1. You are going to call on the Almighty God and say: By Your Grace, from now on, I will serve You Beyond Expectations.

    May Light will Shine, my Salt will be effective; everybody would soon see my Good works and they will Glorify God on my behalf.

    1. And finally, you will lift up your voice to Him and and say: Father from tonight onward, don’t let my Life be Ordinary.

    I want to get to a Level where People would look at me and say, you are different, you are Superior.

    Let People see in me, a Life Beyond Human Expectations.

    Let’s go ahead and Pray!

    BEYOND EXPECTATIONS (DAY 1:EVENING SESSION):PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG 71ST ANNUAL CONVENTION, 7TH AUGUST, 2023.

    RCCG 71ST ANNUAL CONVENTION 2023 (DAY: 1 EVENING SESSION – WORKERS AND HOUSE FELLOWSHIP LEADERS MEET)

    THEME: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 7TH AUGUST 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 8: 14-17

    Let somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    God is a Faithful God – I was told yesterday that my children from Mali travelled in a bus for five (5) days to come to this Convention.

    That shows you that some People are hungrier than others; some People are more thirsty than others.

    But somehow, I just have the feeling that the one who is going to get the biggest Miracle of all will shout the loudest Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Amen! God Bless You.

    Okay! Please, be seated.

    I want this Convention to be the one you will never forget. But it’s up to you, you know!

    I want to thank all of you Workers and House Fellowship Leaders who are here gathered and those reading now on the Label of DMC – I can never thank you enough. I’ve said it again and again that without you People it would be difficult for me to do my work.

    By the way, I want to make a very Special Announcement and so Please, listen carefully.

    The Announcement is for one Particular Person – After I finished Praying yesterday and I was going to my office, one young man was screaming, Daddy GO (somewhere to my right); he was rather aggressive. So I wanted to get to somewhere safe before attending to him. Because some of these People are so Strong, if they reach you at high speed they could knock you down.

    So when I knew I was in a secured Place; I said, “go and find out what he wants.” But by the time they got back there, he has gone back into the crowd.

    Please, if you are that boy (only one) who was screaming at me from my right hand side Last Night, Please report to the Ushers.

    Because whatever it is you are asking God for, He wants to do it for you – Amen!

    It’s only one fellow and my People would recognise you!

    So if you are not the one and you just go and say, “I am the one” – God has no blessings for Loars.

    Okay! Let somebody shout another Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    So thank you for all that you have been doing – The God who sees in Secret will Reward you Openly – Amen.

    I want to remind you, Particularly all of you Workers – You would remembered I came round some years ago! I think it was before Coronavirus.

    Telling you that you should make sure you plant a Branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in your Towns and Villages.

    I think I gave you five (5) years then. And I told you that I would come back. It looks as if five (5) years is almost here. And so I am going to ask God to give me the opportunity to come round again;

    So those of you who have not fulfilled the Assignment; as soon as you leave this Convention go and get the Land, go and build your own Church. “Charity begins at home!”

    There must be a Branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in your own Hometowns and Villages.

    When I got Born Again, the very first Place that I went to Plant the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was in Ifewara (Osun State Nigeria) – First Place!

    I had no money to build a whole Church; but there was a Cocoa Storehouse that had been abandoned.

    I went to the Owner – Please Sir, I want to rent this Place. I will repair it, put it on good living condition. And then you and I would sit down and the rent that you would have collected from me (after we have agreed on what). Then we know how many years after this, before I begin to Pay you rent. He agreed!

    So I got to the house, repaired it. And when we sat down to discuss rent, we discovered that I won’t have to pay him rent for seventeen (17) years. But long before Seventeen (17) years, God had given me enough ability to build a Church and to return his house to him.

    Charity begins at home! Build a church in your Hometown or Villages – So if the Lord delays His Coming and it is time for you to go home, we will have a Place where we can conduct your Funeral Service, anyway.

    … So if you haven’t done your own, as soon as you leave here, get to work.

    God Bless You – Amen!

    I also told your Senior Pastors – I don’t know whether they told you or not. I told them (at least 2 years ago) that at least in all our Regions, we should have Farms where we can begin to Produce food. God saw at that time that Famine is coming.

    If we had started these Farms by then, at least the Youths would have somewhere to work, and you will have food to even help your Members. And then you’ll come to Convention and bring Harvest from your farm.

    I know some of you have been giving me all manners of excuses – Oh, we couldn’t go to the farm because of Herdsmen.

    I have told you before, “only failures make excuses.”

    Is there any failure here? No! How many of you are Victorious? – The DMC FAMILY MEMBER!

    … Let me hear you shout a Victorious Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    Go home, and as many of your Parishes as Possible, start Church-Farm – Call the Angels in Heaven to Protect these Farms.

    Anybody who comes there to try to destroy your farm would die on the spot – Amen.

    Because your God is the Owner of Heaven and Earth. And one of His Names is Lord of Hosts.

    Alright! God Bless You – Amen.

    Matthew 8:14-17;

    14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.

    15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

    16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

    17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

    Jesus visited the house of Peter and He stayed there for the night.

    The first thing He did was that He healed Peter’s mother-in-law. And then in the Evening, the People came to Peter’s house for a House Fellowship. And Jesus healed all who came and set Free all those who were Possessed.

    Your House Fellowship Center is not supposed to be an Ordinary Meeting Place – It is supposed to be a Place of Miracles, Signs and Wonders.

    When you are a Leader of a House Fellowship, there should not be one Single Sick fellow in your house.

    Because Jesus was just visiting the house of Peter – Imagine Jesus staying in your house; because the meaning of House Fellowship is that People gather together at the feet of Jesus.

    And He does not just teach them; He will heal and set the Captives Free.

    So if up till now your House Fellowship is Ordinary, it must Change tonight!

    The Ark of the Covenant was in the house of Obed Edom for three (3) Months; God Performed so many Miracles, Signs and Wonders in the house of Obed Edom, that within three (3) Months, the whole Country heard about him.

    … Three (3) Months!

    Some of you have been House Fellowship Leaders for years, and Nobody has heard about you up till now.

    Some of you, your House Fellowship is still the same size that it was last year – It shouldn’t be so!

    Oh! We know some of you believe your Expectation as a House Fellowship Leader is that you come, sing, Study the Word of God, you Pray some little, little Prayers. If you have something to entertain them with, you may entertain them and they go!

    That’s expectation!

    What God wants from you is Beyond Expectations.

    In any house where there is House Fellowship, like it happened in Mark 2:1-12, where Jesus was Meeting in a house (not a Temple) and they brought a man who was Paralysed from neck downwards there. And the crowd was so much, People could not go in through the door or window; And they broke through the roof so the man could get his Miracle.

    When the House Fellowship is taking Place in your house, the crowd should be so much that People will be breaking through to get their Miracles.

    I am led of my Father in Heaven to Challenge you that after tonight, your House Fellowship will no longer be Ordinary – Amen.

    That the News of the Miracles, Signs and Wonders happening in your House Fellowship will spread, so that your house will become ‘Too Small” to contain the People – Amen.

    I am believing God for all of you, that all your House Fellowship Centers now would become Branches of the Church before next year – Amen.

    I am believing God for you, that if you are leading a House Fellowship now, within the next one (1) year you will have to find another day in a week where you can get a Location in your Street and Plant another House Fellowship there because your house cannot contain the People any more.

    I am going to be asking you to Pray tonight, because your House Fellowship; that Place where you gather should be what God expects it to be – A Place of Prayer for all Nations.

    In Isaiah 56:6-8, the Almighty God says, “there are some People I still need to bring in.” And as they come, I will be answering their Prayers, because my House shall be called the House of Prayer for all Nations.

    The Expectation of God concerning you is that you will not be an Ordinary Worker, Ordinary House Fellowship Leader – Amen.

    You know that Program we call ‘Digging Deep’ in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – You want to know it’s origin?

    It originated in my House Fellowship Centre (the one in my house).

    We didn’t call it that back then, because we didn’t know the term to use.

    I was Born Again and couldn’t keep what I had discovered to myself – “This is Life! And I have been wasting all these years, thinking I was doing fine.”

    So I decided I will look for an opportunity to share with others.

    I started in my office at the University of Lagos, with all those People that I know cannot say No to me – My Cleaner, the Messenger attached to me. You know those People that can’t say No when I say come!

    And I told them – Out of the one (1) hour break because in those days they give you one (1) hour break when you are working in the University.

    I said to them, out of the one (1) hour break, you will come and spend Fifteen (15) Minutes in my Office.

    They said, what for Sir? To Study the Bible!

    That’s why when I see some People who say they are being rascally or whatever name is they want to call themselves; by wearing big beards and so on. You see, you don’t even know the meaning of being that!

    Come and see this “Little Boy” – In less than six (6) Months: during Break time at the University of Lagos in those days, you will not find a Typist in any of the Offices in the Faculty of Science. You would not find one! You won’t find a Cleaner, you won’t find a Messenger – Why? They’ve gone for Bible Study with Dr. Adeboye!

    The matter got to a Stage that my Head of Department (HOD), Prof. Chike Obi (of Blessed Memory) called me to his Office – Adeboye, I said Sir! I won’t ask you not to Worship your God. But don’t let your Worship of God create a Problem for me in the University.

    So I said, Yes Sir!

    By then my Office was “Too Small” anyway!

    So I told those who were coming for, shall we call it “Office Fellowship”! if you really want to know more about Jesus Christ, and they say we can’t do it now during break time. If you don’t mind and you are willing to wait after Office hours, I would be around to teach you.

    In the meantime Surulere is where I was living. I had some friends, some Comrades; and I told them: you can come here and Study ooo. I have a little bit to share with you.

    One of the Original Members of the House Fellowship in my house (in Surulere) is Pastor Gbadebo Lawal (of Blessed Memory) – Himself and his wife, myself and my wife were in the House Fellowship.

    And then I was transferred to Ilorin (Kwara State Capital City).

    As soon as I got to Ilorin, “I can’t keep this thing to myself!” And in any case, I’ve told God I didn’t want to be Ordinary. And so we started again in Ilorin.

    Then we moved from having iit one (1) day in a week to two (2) days – We called one Digging Deep, we called the other Faith Clinic.

    I am not asking you to do what I have not done. And I want you (my children) to be Greater than I – “Like father like children”.

    SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR HOUSE FELLOWSHIP:

    Stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God – And you are going to Pray for thirty (30) Minutes. After Thirty (30) Minutes you will give your Offering.

    Cry to the Almighty God and say Father; intervene in my Life. I don’t want to be Ordinary; my House Fellowship must not be Ordinary, my Church, Office, and Home must not be Ordinary. I want Miracles, Signs and Wonders Beyond Expectations!

    Lord, I don’t want to be Ordinary, I want to Stand out for You. I want to be Outstanding. I don’t want my Anointing, my Testimony, my Family, to be Ordinary. I want to exceed Expectations. Lord God Almighty, help me. Intervene in my affairs.

    In my House Fellowship let there be Nothing called Sickness at all. Let everybody who come to my House Fellowship receive a Miracle, Sign and Wonder. Bless my family so Mightily with Your Anointing, with Your Power, with Your Support; that the whole Nation would soon hear about it.

    I don’t want to be an Ordinary Worker; I want to be Exceptional; I want to be Beyond Expectations. I don’t want to be an Ordinary Christian that People would just say well, he or she is a Christian. I must be Outstanding! Help me O Lord.

    Help me to Pray: I don’t want my Prayer to be Ordinary. I want to be a Prayer Warrior that will Pray and shake my Nations; I want to be Extraordinary. I want my Strength to be Extraordinary, I want my Miracle and Family to be Extraordinary. A family where there is no Sickness, no Disease, no Demons.

    I want anybody who steps into my house to receive Extraordinary Miracles. I want every Visitor to my house to know that they are going for Miracles. Let my house be a House of Fervent Prayer. I don’t want to a Lazy Child of God; I want to be a Prayer Warrior. Oh Yes Lord! I want to be able to Pray and shake Nations.

    I don’t want Ordinary fever in my house – No ache, no pain – not in my house Lord! Because I want You to intervene. My house is Your house, and Your house is a House of Prayer, a House of Miracles, of Signs and Wonders.

    O Lord God Almighty, help me! Transform me from tonight; let my Life become Extraordinary, Supernatural. Let my Anointing become Supernatural. King of kings and Lord of lords, help me.

    You were in a house, they had to break through the roof to bring in someone to you; and the fellow got his Miracle. Whenever anybody is brought into my house,, let them walk out with their Miracles, with their Testimonies.

    Help me Lord, empower me to Pray. Anoint me to seek You with all my Strength, with all my Mind, with all my Soul. Let my house become a terror to the devil. Let the enemies know, “you ever go near that house, you’ll be in trouble!”

    From tonight onward, let there be dramatic Changes in every facets of my Life. Make me absolutely Extraordinary. I must be different O Lord, Superior O Lord, More Than a Conqueror O Lord, Extraordinary!

    Please, don’t let my own House Fellowship be an Ordinary one. Let it be different, Powerful, known for Miracles, for Signs, for Wonders. That before the end of this year, let my Town know, “there is a Place in this Town, if only you can get there, you will get your Miracle.” Let that be said of my House Fellowship Center, Lord. Let that be said of my House!

    I want to serve You diligently with all my Heart, and with everything I have. I want my house to be Your House: a Place of Prayer, Healing, Deliverance, Joy, Miracles, Signs and Wonders. I want to become Special for You Lord; that even when I am walking past, the devils would be telling one another, “here he comes!”

    Help me Lord: I don’t want my House Fellowship to be just one of those Places. Let it be a Place Lord God Almighty, that Heaven would know, “God dwells here! There is a house in this Town where God dwells, where God answers Prayer.”

    Let my house be the house where People would say, “we know that God lives in your house, we know that God answers Prayer in your house.” Let that be my Portion Lord! Let me be different Lord.

    Have Mercy on me, Almighty God reach out to me tonight: transform everything that has to do with me from Natural to Supernatural, from Ordinary to Extraordinary.

    Let my house be a Place Prayer would be going unto Heaven regularly, Powerfully and Gloriously. Make me Outstanding Lord. Let me Stand out even among my colleagues.

    Lord God Almighty, I am available to be used of You. I am available Almighty God to do Your Will. I don’t want my Life to be an Ordinary routine: waking up, eating, going to work, coming back, sleeping. No, No, No!

    I want every bit of me to be Unusually Divine. Even in my Office, let them know that this Young boy (girl) carries the Power of the Most High God.

    Let my house be a Place no demon can come near; no thief can come near, no robber can come near because they know that God lives in this house!

    Thank You Father! Glory be to Your Holy Name!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    SPECIAL DECREES BY DADDY GO:

    The Almighty God will grant your Requests; and He will answer your Prayers tonight.

    And all of you who are here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; God will give you “Advance Miracles”!

    So shall it be!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    … Please, be seated.

    Now before we give our Offering: all I said in Summary is that:

    • Your House Fellowship would be a Place of Miracles, Signs and Wonders;
    • That there would be no Sickness in your House Fellowship;
    • That Nobody there should be Sick in your House Fellowship;
    • That anybody who comes to your House Fellowship will not go back the way they came!
    • That the Power of God will be so Mighty in your House Fellowship, that the Place will become a terror to the enemy.
    • And that God expects that you yourself will be Extraordinary.

    That’s what we also Prayed about tonight.

    Now that would be all for tonight!

    I am happy that you are here, and our tomorrow would be alright – Amen.

    By the way, those of my children I met dancing tonight, I like that! You will have a lot of dancing to do this week, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

    BEYOND EXPECTATIONS (DAY 4: EVENING SESSION): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE, 6TH AUGUST, 2023.

    RCCG 2023 MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE (DAY: 4 EVENING SESSION)

    THEME: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 6TH AUGUST 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 24:3-5 AND 1 KINGS 18:41-END

    Let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    We’ve been talking from Psalms 24:3-5; and we have talked about:

    • Going Higher to the Mountain Top;
    • Appreciating the fact that not everyone will be able to climb;
    • And what will be the Conditions if you want to climb;
    • We’ve looked at the Law of Priority as we climb the Mountain Top – Clean hands and a Pure Heart, having Integrity and avoiding Vanity.

    I read on the internet that a man has Three Hundred (300) Cars: that is Madness!

    That he also has Twenty eight (28) Jets. That is a Practical Example of Vanity – Having things today that would be gone tomorrow.

    • And we went visiting certain Mountains:

    I. The Mount of Transfiguration, where we learned some serious Lessons.

    II. And then Last Night we visited Mount Horeb.

    And tonight we want to visit: Mount Carmel!

    MOUNT CARMEL.

    1 Kings 18:41-end;

    41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

    42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,

    43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

    44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.

    45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

    46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

    … It it either you are very fast (in writing) or you forget writing tonight; because I will be very fast. You can always get the Tape later or Preferably get to read the Full Sessions on the Label of DMC!

    DMC NOTES: Good News – We are Pleased to announce that we have secured exclusively MP 3 Audios of all the Sessions (Morning, Afternoon and Evening) of this Year 2023 RCCG Ministers’ Conference separated into various Speakers on the Label of DMC. We will release all in our YouTube Channel after the Convention!

    Anyone who is not Dead Spiritually, after these few days of Minister’s Conference (Solemn Assembly as it were) can tell you God is up to something – That this Year’s RCCG Annual Convention 2023 is going to be a “BEYOND EXPECTATIONS’ EXPERIENCE” indeed.

    From the Passage – 1Kings 18:41-46; Elijah said, there is a Sound of what type of Rain? – Abundance of Rian!

    While Ahab was eating, drinking and feasting, Elijah was Fasting and Praying; and there was a a Great Rain!

    PRAYER: My Father and my God, I beg You – All the things that I cannot remember to discuss from this Passage, Please teach them by Yourself – Amen!

    I want to talk to you briefly on: I HAVE SEEN THE FIRE, NOW I WANT THE RAIN.

    On Mount Horeb, I have seen the Fire – I have Prayed down Fire but now, I want the Rain.”

    Elijah Prayed and Heaven Opened, the Fire Fell but I want the Rain!

    My Father and my God, your “Little Boy”, Adeboye (DMC FAMILY MEMBER) is saying, “I have seen the Fire, I want the Rain- Amen!

    WHY DO I WANT THE RAIN TO FALL?

    1. Because there is a Divine Promise:

    In 1 Kings 18:1; God said to Elijah: Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send Rain upon the Earth.

    That’s what God Promised in Ezekiel 34:26 – And I will make them and the Places round about my Hill a Blessing; and I will cause the Shower to come down in his Season; there shall be Showers of Blessing.

    The Almighty God made a Promise to as many as will come to Mount Carmel that – There shall be Showers of Blessing.

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

    Psalms 119:89 also says, For ever, O LORD, thy Word is settled in Heaven.

    I have been encouraging you to join me climb this Mountain, because He said, “All around my Hills, there shall be Showers of Blessing.” (Ezekiel 34:26)

    In Acts l 3:19, He says, Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord;

    The Bible makes it clear to all who would be converted that, “…the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord;”

    Many of us after this Conference, will need to say to the Lord – I need the Rain to fall in this and that areas of my Life.

    The areas where I have lied, cheated, falsified records, made Promises I did not keep, lived hypocritically and deceitfully, manipulating others – Lord, I am sorry, I repent!

    Things will Changed!

    The Bible made it clear; as many as are going with The New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); there will be a Time of Refreshing.

    1. I need the Rain because I don’t want my Anointing to dry up.

    Because in 1 Kings 17:1, the Bible says, it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no Rain in the Land.

    … Even the brook of a Prophet dried up.

    I don’t want my Anointing to dry up.

    1. I want the Rain because I need Seed to continue to be a Sower.

    Isaiah says, For as the Rain cometh down, and the snow from Heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the Earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the Sower, and bread to the eater:

    It is when the rain falls that there will be Seed for the Sower.

    You know, why many of us are still Poor inspite of all we’ve learned and Preached is because we don’t Give.

    I want the Rain to fall, so I will be a Giver and not just a receiver because the Giver’s hand is always on top!

    Something happened yesterday – A couple visited us at home. We have been together since the days of small beginning and I have not seen seen them for a while.

    When we began to talk he said: Daddy, sometimes ago you made a request that, “your children should spoil you.”

    I remembered he said, we took your words seriously – They gave me a fat Cheque then. I mean, they “spoilt me and now they are blessed.

    I don’t know about you, but I want the Rain so that I can be a Blessing – A Giver and not a Receiver.

    You don’t know what you are missing when you don’t bless your Man of God!

    When you see a Man of God, if you have to empty your Pocket to them, do so.

    Arch Bishop Duncan William was Preaching one day and he said, now I am regretting – When Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa was alive, myself and Bishop David Oyedepo we used to go to him and he taught us about Giving to our Spiritual Leaders.

    He said, some of us then used to take small envelopes to the Man of God; while Oyedepo would come with a big envelope.

    Today I see Oyedepo where he is, and unfortunately, the father we all knew is gone!

    By this time next Year (2024); your Giving will Greatly Increase because the Spirit of miserly will leave you to rest!

    And if you don’t want it to leave gently, it will leave by Fire – Amen.

    I am not hungry!

    How many times do I eat in a year, any way?

    I don’t need Clothes, shoes, food – I am boasting in the Lord. I have enough to wear and eat for the rest of my Life here on Earth.

    But I say ‘Spoil me’, not because I need it but you do need it!

    Some of you heard me, and did it. But you did it once and stopped!

    When you sow in secret and continuously;, your Heavenly Father will Reward you openly.

    I said to my son who visited; you were starting a School the last time we met, how is the school now? And he said Daddy, that must have been a long time, because now we own a University.

    How far do you want to go with the Lord? And how high do you want to Climb?

    1. I need Rain because I don’t want the Word of God in my mouth to return void.

    Because God says, So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I Please, and it shall Prosper in the thing whereto I sent it – Isaiah 55:11

    I don’t want the Word of God in my mouth to return void – I need the Rain so when I say, “you are healed” you will be healed straightaway!

    1. I need the Rain so that there will be no Famine in my Ministry.

    Amos 4:7-8 says it can Rain in one Part of the City and not Rain in the other. While the Part it rained would have food, there will be Famine in the City where there was no Rain – Because, no Rain, no Food!

    I need the Rain so there will be no Famine in my Ministry and I am not talking of Famine of Food, “but of hearing the Words of God.” (Amos 8:21-13).

    Many Preachers today just keep on repeating old Sermons.

    There was a time I could Preach the same Message twice, but not now!

    Because even while I am here Preaching, it is already being heard by the People in America, Australia, Papau New Guinea, etc.

    I cannot Preach the same Sermon twice – The Bible Text may be the same, but not the Message.

    So I need the Rain so that I can keep on getting “Fresh Messages” from the Lord.

    1. I need the Rain because I don’t want to die.

    You see, Samson almost died of thirst after a Great Victory – Judges 15:14-19.

    Thirst is a “Silent Killer”!

    Samson had just defeated a thousand Soldiers and then he became thirsty – “O God, You have just given me Victory, yet I am dying due to thirst.” I need the rain!

    I need the Almighty God to revive me afresh, because water is more Powerful than food.

    In 1 Kings 17;8-16; when Elijah got to the Widow of Zarephath, the first thing he asked for was water, before he said, if you are bringing the water, don’t forget to bring me some food also.

    Elijah drank the water; and had to wait for food – So I will need the Rain!

    1. I need the Rain because it is the Evidence that Revival is truly here.

    In 1 Kings 18:36-40; the People had fallen on their faces because the Fire fell but the Land was still dry.

    It took the Rain to confirm to them that the danger of God is over.

    I need the Rain so that God will no longer be angry with me.

    Thank God for Fire; but I need the Rain!

    Thank God for the Tongues of Fire in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost – Acts 2:1-4.

    There is no doubt that God has visited His people. But the evidence that God has visited His People would be in the Revival that followed.

    Thank God for Acts 2:1-5; but in Acts 2:41; Peter Preached a Sermon and won three thousand (3,000) Souls.

    Thank God for the Fire. But I need the Rain!

    1. I need the Rain so that there will be Miracles, Signs and Wonders.

    In Acts 3:1-8; that’s where Peter touched the Lame man and he began to walk.

    I don’t want us to come for this Conference and go without Power – I want us to go back and turn our Villages, Towns, Cities and Nations upside down with Miracles, Signs and Wonders for Christ.

    When the Rain falls and there are Miracles; whenever we Preach Salvation of Souls would take Place.

    Because in Acts 3:1-8, but after the Miracle of the Lame man at the Beautiful Gate, when Peter Preached in Acts 4:4, five thousand (5,000) Souls were saved.

    Thank God for all our Programs, like – Beautiful Feet, Operation 2032. But without Miracles, Signs and Wonders, our efforts will not go far.

    I have told you before of when we went to Netherlands years ago to start our Church there – As dead Spiritually as the Place is.

    I am sure you know in Netherlands you can go to a Coffee Shop and buy Indian Hemp – It is Legal like buying a cup of tea.

    And so, when we went to start The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Netherlands, Advertisements were made and so, many People came!

    As Service was going on, a sick man was brought from the Hospital with all the gadgets. Choruses were still going on when they arrived.

    Because he couldn’t wait, after some time when nothing happened; he said, take me back to the Hospital.

    Just as they were taking him out, the Microphone was been handed over to me. Before they got to the door, I have not started Preaching at all. The Power of God hit him so hard, he jumped out of the bed!

    And there was Pandemonium all over the Place – Making it impossible for me to Preach.

    All I did was to make the Altar Call – Which was followed by a Great Harvest of Souls.

    I decree in the Name that’s above every other name; the kind of Miracles that will make People run to serve Your God will begin in your Ministry from now on – Amen.

    Are you Willing to Pay the Price for the Rain to Fall?

    I. Elijah had to Fast when Ahab was feasting.

    1 Kings 18:41-42 days: And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a Sound of Abundance of Rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the Earth, and put his face between his knees,

    … Ahab was eating and feasting when Elijah was Fasting.

    This is a very Special Convention. Oh! There is enough food for everyone. God had provided; and He will yet Provide – Amen.

    One of my children came bringing an envelope – “Daddy, this is for the Convention.” I looked at the envelope and I said, take your money, it’s too small.

    To him, he brought a lot of money but his Region Promised to bring One Thousand (1,000) Cows for Convention.

    I said, take your money, go and bring the One Thousand (1,000) Cows!

    Because the Millions he brought would not be able to buy the cows.

    In a way we can’t explain, God has been Providing for His Convention – And He will yet Provide (Amen).

    However, this is not a Convention of feasting – Not if you are trusting God for the Rain to Fall.

    In 2 Corinthians 11:27, Paul the Apostle said, In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, “in Fastings often,” in cold and nakedness.

    This is a Convention of Fasting!

    Remember what I told you – The Children of the Living God are not “For Show”; we are “For Gold”.

    Let the others eat, drink, dress the way they like; we are different!

    “If we begin to do like that Members will go” – Let them go!

    Because if you try and to keep them with your Wisdom, they will still go – Only those kept by the Power of God would stay.

    … Do I hear an Amen for that? Amen.

    Please, Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ – 1 Corinthians 11:1

    Some years ago, they were having the Centinary Anniversary of Modern Day Pentecostal in America, and I was selected as one of the Speakers.

    And they have a Particular Room which they called, “Green Room” – It had different kinds of food. So they put me in the room.

    Several other Preachers where there – Eating sandwich, hamburger, chicken wings, somebody’s else chicken.

    And I went to sit in one corner of the room Praying because I was going to Preach that Night.

    They came to me saying, are you not going to eat? I said, thank you very much, I am okay. I am not going to that Altar full of sandwich, hamburger and chicken wings.

    When your Daddy finished ministering and gave the Altar Call; everybody came to the Altar.

    Because I gave Altar Call for different Categories of People – Some came to be Baptised in the Holy Spirit.

    Some used to be on Fire before but the Light was no more.

    So everybody came! – It wasn’t me, it was the Holy Spirit.

    DMC NOTES: You can get to read the Message Pastor E.A Adeboye Preached at “The Centinary Anniversary of Modern Day Pentecostal in America” in Year 2006 on this Link as Transcribed by DMC:

    https://discoverymediacrew.com/Azusa-Street-Revival-In-America-Pastor-E-A-Adeboye-The-Fire-Must-Never-Go-Out-2006

    Some of you go to the Altar just after you’ve finished eating a bowl of Pounded yam.

    Say: God help me that from now on I will live for You and not for my stomach.

    In The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), the Lord will make His Ministers “Flaming Fire” – Amen. (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 1:17).

    For these three (3) days, I have been begging you to shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    1. I want you to decide that during this Convention, “I am going to hold unto God until I see a Sign coming out of the Ocean” – Even if it’s like the fist of a man that the Shower is coming!
    2. I am going to Pray like Elijah until the Servant said Oga, “Behold, there ariseth a “Little Cloud” out of the sea, like a man’s hand” – 2 Kings 18:44

    … And Elijah said, Thank You! That is what I have been waiting for.

    Let me conclude:

    The Almighty God made a Promise in Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled.

    I want to Pray, I want to Fast!

    Someone queried me, “Daddy, you are more than eighty (80) years why are you are still Fasting?”

    I haven’t reached the Top, leave me alone!

    Even if I Fast, I will Preach sitting down – I am not going to let God go until I am filled.

    But one more Point before we go – I am going to ask a Childish Question, “have you learnt anything these past four (4) days? Are you sure?

    Because when you finish Praying tonight, your Offering should be a Thanksgiving.

    He is the One doing the speaking these past days – Selecting what I should say and when.

    So you should say “Thank You” to Him tonight.

    But before you go to ask the Rain to Fall.

    When you read Genesis 2:4-5 – I have heard a Great Man of God say about this Passage and I acknowledge what he also spoke.

    That Passage says something very interesting about God;

    That when God created the Earth, He didn’t send Rain immediately.

    And he gave the reason; he said, because there was no man yet to handle the Outcome of the Rain. And when He created man, He sent the Rain.

    He will send Rain to us today; But how much Rain He will send will be determined by your readiness to handle the Outcome.

    In Matthew 25:14-30 is the Story of the Talents. He gave one give (5), gave another two (2), then gave one (1) to the Last Person according to their ability to manage the Talent.

    You know, some of you Pray to be Pastor-In-Charge of Region – When you cannot even manage an Area successfully, you want to manage a Region.

    He knows what you are capable of.

    Because Matthew 25:23 says, he that is Faithful in little will become Master of much.

    God knows some of you will be Proud and that is not needed – He knows not many drenched in the Power of God can still remain Humble.

    Some Apostles who were here last, on a visit in 2011 – twelve years ago. Now seeing what God is doing said, and you are still Humble (laughs).

    How can I be Proud?

    I know how little I was before God chose me; and I am still little before Him.

    A lot of people say, stop saying you are little; you are Great.

    It takes being little for God to make you Great.

    Before you ask the Rain to Fall tonight, maybe you will beg Him like I beg Him – Lord, I want the Rain, I want more Rain. I know my Capacity, it is limited, but you can enlarge my coast.

    That Woman in John Chapter 4 came with a pot to fetch water, but after she encountered Christ, He offered her, “… a well of water springing up into Everlasting Life” – John 4:14

    Father, Adeboye (The DMC Family Member) is Nobody, he (they) hasn’t got anything or Capacity. You are the Almighty God – The Potter and I am the clay; You can enlarge my Capacity.

    Thank You for the Fire Lord; but this “Little Boy” wants the Rain!

    Go ahead and Pray – Tell God what you want as He is listening to you.

    There is already, the Sound of Abundance of Rain – Amen.

    The Almighty God will Bless You – Amen.

    … See you during the 2023 National Convention: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS.

    And Lord God Almighty, on behalf of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); where it has Pleased You to make the Ministers who are forty (40) years and above to be more in attendance at this Year’s Ministers’ Conference. Now we know that our tomorrow shall be alright.

    We lift our Voices and we shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Now, the next Hallelujah is Specially for you; depending on how you think He loves you, shout hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!

    Amen!

    Please, kindly be be seated. God Bless You – Amen!

    I will like to reveal to you a Secret – When I wrote the Conference Hymn, what I wrote in the Chorus originally was “I will shout Hallelujah”.

    I remembered you, and because I love you I Changed it to “Let’s shout Hallelujah.”

    At your own Private time, I want you to Study the Hymn and you would see that it is a Love Letter between a Lover and his Love – It is a Letter to the Lover of my Soul.

    If you meet me and you accidentally hear me say: Oh I have a friend you know! He loves me, His Name is Jesus Christ. He died for me, He is my friend, He knows my name. Let’s just say I am alive today because of Him.

    … That’s why you hear me shout Hallelujah all the time.

    When I begin to talk about my Lover; Nobody voted Him into Power. He is not in Office for just four (4) years. He has always been in Power and will always be in Power!

    In case you don’t know – Even the biggest of all World Leaders is under His footstool. That’s why He is higher than them. And if you are trying to get a glimpse of Him, His dress is brighter than the Sun. When He speaks it is done. He rules by Decree.

    At the mention of His Name, every knees that refuses to bow will be forced to do so. Why? Because His Name is above every other name. And at the mention of His every knees must bow.

    So if you say, Daddy why is the Hymn having Twelve (12) Verses? There are many other Personal Verses. Maybe we will look at them some other time

    GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

    1. Today by the Grace of God, after this Morning Session we will be back by 3pm for the Afternoon Session.
    2. After that we will go for Break; and return for the Evening Session by 7pm – That is if Jesus has not returned.
    3. In case I forget, tomorrow is Sunday (Thanksgiving Service). There are over Forty (40) Parishes on this Camp Ground. You can go and worship in any of the Parishes. Whichever direction you turn you will see a Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – Go there and be a Blessing to them.

    You say, “Daddy why is there no Service here (in the Auditorium)?”

    Go and be a Blessing to your Landlords, so that they will let you come again some other time (Laughter)!

    Hallelujah!

    Our Bible Text as usual is Psalms 24:3-5. But we are going to add an additional Text later one.

    Let’s first read Psalms 24:3-5.

    3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

    4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

    5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

    If you read Psalms Chapter 15, it will make it even clearer.

    Psalms 15:4 says, In whose eyes a vile Person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

    That means if you make a Promise without fulfilling it, it will lead you to be embarrassed. Because if you make a Promise as a Child of God, you can’t Change it.

    One of my daughters phoned me on Saturday from United Kingdom (UK) – “Daddy, we will be expecting you tomorrow.” I said, where? In London! Did you say London? Yes, at my Birthday Service.

    Ah! Your Birthday Service? She said, have you forgotten? You Promised! I said, I did? Where?

    Then she told me. Oluwa (Meaning Good)! She said, I can mention one (1) or two (2) People who were there when you Promised me.

    I’ve Promised, I must fulfil my Promise.

    So quickly, I bought a Ticket to London. The only space remaining was in First Class.

    And in those days I had no money for First Class, but I had to look for it.

    From the Airport, I went straight to the Church because I Promised.

    Another of my son, a young man; I think that one is in America. He said, Daddy Please come and Bless us in my Church.

    The fellow is not a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) He said, you can even come twice, not just once.

    I said okay I will be in your Church the next time I visit America. And everything around is making it look as if I can’t make it, but I have Promised.

    The one who is going to the Hills of the Lord, when he makes a Promise, he must fulfil it.

    And I have been there once. Praying seriously that I don’t make the Second trip. But the more I Pray, the more the Prayer hits a brick wall. And the Lord says, you know what to do – You Promised!

    How many of you want to go to the hills of the Lord? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    How many of you will keep your Promise from now on whatever the cost? – The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    … That’s why we repeated Verse 7 of our Conference Hymn.

    Somebody is going to need Help; and you would get Help – Amen.

    THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION.

    Today we want to go to The Mount of Transfiguration – Matthew 17:1-9;

    1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

    2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

    3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

    4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

    5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

    6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

    7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

    8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

    9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

    … This is not a Hill – “A High Mountain”. The Bible does not mince words.

    I want to go to the Mount of Transfiguration today – How many of you will go with me? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    Your Amen will tell me how many of you are ready to go with me – AMEN!

    The very first time I went on a visit to Israel was in 1985; on Holy Pilgrimage – Myself and forty nine (49) other People. One of us ran away (did not return back to Nigeria with us).

    When we were to go to the Mount of Transfiguration, the Vessels taking us got to a Point and stopped – That was as far as they could go, then we had to move in smaller Vessels (Wheel drives) to the Top.

    In those days, I followed my People wherever they went.

    Moreover that was also my first time, I needed to see the Places. Any spot we got to, I gave a Sermon about that Place.

    When we got to the Mount of Transfiguration, as I was giving the Sermon that day, one of the things I said was that the Lord brought twelve (12) People to the feet of the Mountain, and took three (3) of them to the Top and left the other nine (9) fellows.

    What was the fault of the other nine (9)? Why didn’t He go with all the Twelve (12) but selected only three (3)?

    Say Father, if you are going to take only Three (3) People today to The Mount of Transfiguration, Please, let me be one (1) of them.

    Well, your shout of Hallelujah will tell me who – Hallelujah!

    He told the nine (9) – Stand here, you are not going with me to the Top. When they got to the Top, He showed the three (3) certain things.

    That is why today, I want to go to the Mount of Transfiguration.

    Because Genesis 13:14-18 made it clear – Whatever you see, that is what you will have. What you see can become what you will have.

    In Genesis 30:27-43, Jacob Practically took away all the Strong flocks of Laban by making sure the cows saw certain things – You know the Story!

    As they drank from the water, whatever they saw in it they conceived and eventually Produced.

    What you see can become what you will eventually have!

    2 Corinthians 3:18 says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the Lord, are Changed into the same image from Glory to Glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

    … What you see, you can become!

    That is why when Children watch violent games, little by little they become violent – Because what see, you become!

    I went to America in 1979 (Kenneth Haggins’ Camp Meeting), saw a crowd of about Seventeen Thousand (17,000) People at the time, the entire Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was less than seven hundred (700) Members.

    I saw Raw Miracles happening right in my Presence.

    On the way back to Nigeria in the Plane, I said to God: if I get back and you don’t repeat what I have seen in America, I will call You a Racist – You love the White race more than the Blacks.

    He didn’t kill me in the Plane because He knew I was not rude; but was just desperate to see things happen.

    When I told some of my friends who went with us, they said don’t these People know that you are very Good? They should allow you to Preach during one of their Programs.

    I said my son, as the Lord lives; if He is the One Who called me, they will be begging to come and Preach in our Church Altar – Amen.

    … What you see you can become!

    When I wanted to visit South Korea – The largest Congregation in the world at that time, I had no money. But I said to God, I must go. He Provided!

    Your Word says, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled – Matthew 5:6.

    God did not only Provide, He Provided First Class Ticket.

    In those days, there were no Business Class – Just Economy and First Class.

    Those of us who travelled Economy, they did not have enough for hungry fellows like us. We supported it with more and more Coke. Unlike the First where they always beg you to eat.

    When I was traveling to South Korea (First Class) I said, my God, this Life is Good!

    I decree to someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC who is travelling Economy; very soon you will be travelling First Class – Amen.

    When I got to South Korea, I saw an Auditorium that was sitting Fifty Thousand (50,000) People; they held seven (7) Services. And I heard the Pastor announcing – Please Brethren, those of you in Church today, don’t come next week, to allow those who couldn’t make it to attend.

    I said Hey! Whatever it is going to cost me Almighty God; what I have seen here I must see it in Nigeria.

    Imagine today!

    Supposed there is only one (1) Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Lagos State Nigeria that can take only Fifty Thousand (50,000) Members, every Sunday! If you can see, you will get it.

    How many of you want to go to Mount of Transfiguration with me? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    Let me hear your Hallelujah once again – Hallelujah.

    What do I want to go and do at The Mount of Transfiguration?

    1. I want to take a look at MOSES.

    Why? I want to take a look at the man with the Greatest Deliverance Ministry in Israel – The man who delivered a whole Nation.

    That was a Deliverance Minister of the Highest Order – He delivered a Nation out of the bondage of Four Hundred and Thirty (430) years in one night.

    In Exodus 12:1-37, the Bible tells us, when the Children of Israel were leaving the Land of Egypt, they were six hundred thousand (600,000) men after they had counted the women and children.

    I want to see Moses so I can take another look at him:

    • So that my Deliverance Ministry may Change;
    • So that the Deliverance Service of next week Thursday during The RCCG Annual Convention 2023 may be something the world has never seen before;
    • So that I don’t spend a whole day chasing out one Demon when I can actually go back to my Village in Ifewara (Osun State) to chase out all the Demons there in one day.

    After all in Acts 8:5-8, it is recorded there of an Ordinary Deacon who chased out Demons in Samaria, and there was Great Joy in that City.

    1. I will like to have another glimpse of ELIJAH:

    A man with the Greatest Revival Ministry in the History of the world.

    In 1 Kings 18:20-40, he brought a whole Nation to her face – A whole Nation fell on her face saying, Jehovah is Lord!

    I cannot be satisfied until at least Ninety Percent (90%) of Nigerians are crying Jesus is Lord – You can Substitute the name of your Country.

    That’s alright!

    I know that Jezebel remained, but at the end, she was eaten by a dog.

    I want to take another look at Elijah – What is it that made him bring a whole Nation to her knees?

    After all Matthew 28:18-20 says that the Word of God has to go round the whole world.

    • Thank God the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has spread;
    • Thank God for the Covenant He made with my father-in-the-Lord;
    • Thank God my father-in-the-Lord did not make a mistake when he chose me.

    I didn’t qualify to be chosen at all – Considering the fact that I just joined the Church less than seven (7) years before.

    • And Thank God my father-in-the-Lord didn’t ask for a Vote;

    Even though some People still believed that it was manipulated because I have a PhD.

    • Thank God – God Proved Himself True.

    I am looking forward to a time when I arrive in a Nation – My children there would be so many that the President of that Nation would have no Choice but to join to welcome me at the Airport.

    It is going to happen! It has started.

    And you are going to be Greater than I – Amen.

    I want to take another look at Elijah – I have Studied him for three (3) years more closely.

    I. I want to go to the Mount of Transfiguration so I can be better Prepared for Heaven.

    Sir, what do you mean? I want to catch a glimpse of the Glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    After all Colossians 1:27 says, … which is: Christ in you, the Hope of Glory:

    Let me have a glimpse of that Glory I am hoping for. So that if I go by Death or by Rapture, according to 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; either you make it by Resurrection like Moses, or by Rapture like Elijah (2 Kings 2:9-12).

    After all 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 says something about what is going to happen.

    The Bible says, those of us who are alive when He returns; they will first take those who slept in the Lord before. Then the rest of us will follow

    II. I want to go to the Mount of Transfiguration so that I may have at least, after this Conference; the beginning of Testimonies that are difficult to share.

    Where is it in the Bible?

    Jesus said: what you see, don’t tell those nine (9) below.

    You will have Testimonies that it would be difficult to share some of them – Amen!

    Before when I shared some Testimonies, Brethren would say, Bro we hope you are alright.

    In 2 Corinthians 12:1-5, Paul told us that he had some Revelations, he found himself in the Third Heaven. He heard some things that are difficult to share on the Altar.

    Before this Conference is over, in the Name that’s above every other name, some of you here or reading now on the Label of DMC, there will be a Testimonies that will be difficult to believe when you share on the Altar – Amen.

    Why do I want to go to the Mount of Transfiguration.

    You know Peter, when he got to the Mount of Transfiguration, he said Sir, don’t let us go away from this Place – Let’s make Three (3) Tents.

    Before this Convention is over, you will not want to go – Amen!

    It has happened before – We had a Congress in one of the Towns. When it was time to go home we were all weeping; Praising God for the Mighty works He has done.

    … There will be a repeat this Year – Amen!

    I know what I shared is fairly deep; just something a little deeper – They saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.

    What were they talking about? What were they discussing?

    One of the Disciples (who told this Story) said they were discussing what is about to happen.

    They came to tell Jesus – Oga Your Journey to the Top is about to begin; You are about to have a Name that’s above every other name;

    However, You have to go through certain Things:

    You will be beaten; Nailed to the cross; You will wear a crown of thorns; You have to go down and be Obedient to the very Point of Death.

    I’m sure the Lord said, that’s alright! That’s why I came: not to be Ministered to, but to Minister – He gave His Life as a ransome to save you and I.

    … But they said a little more than that!

    Don’t ask me what else they discussed!

    Unless you want to ask Moses – “Moses, how were you able to write the Book of Genesis when you were not born by then?

    I believed that is the reason that He took Moses and Elijah so they can hold that Meeting.

    As the Theologians (those with PhD in Theology) would say – Moses represent the Law, Elijah represent the Prophets. A combination of the Law and the Prophets is that that met on that Day.

    Thank you very much!

    I think they whispered to Jesus that somewhere in His Journey to the Topmost top, before given the Name above every other name, at a Particular moment, You will be separated from Your Father.

    Oh, we’ve been together from the beginning of the world — In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. (John 1:1-2).

    Separation for a moment?

    Even after they left, when things began to unfold in Luke 22:41-43; what Elijah and Moses failed to achieve, God had to send an Angel to go and Strengthen His Son.

    I want to reach the Top!

    Ha! I don’t really mind the pain; whatever the price may be. But Lord, I will need Your Help; I will need Your encouragement. You gave to Help me to Succeed.

    You see, because I’ve Prayed (you’ve heard it before) – When I said to God that I want double of the Anointing of Elijah; double the Anointing of Elisha; double the Anointing of Peter; double the Anointing of Paul, and double the Anointing of the Lord Jesus Christ. Add everything together and double it. That’s what I want.

    He said, you have asked for a dangerous thing. Because when I give you, they will not allow you to rest. I said, I don’t mind. You don’t mind?

    If I ask now, how many of you will Pay the Price to get to the Mount of Transfiguration – Any Price? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

    I want you to go to the Lord this Morning and say: Father, send Help to me.

    See you later!

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

    BEYOND EXPECTATION (DAY 2: EVENING SESSION): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE – RCCG MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE, 4TH AUGUST, 2023.

    RCCG 2023 MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE (DAY: 2 EVENING SESSION)

    THEME: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

    MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 4TH AUGUST 2023

    BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 24:3-5

    Let somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Convention Hymn!

    Don’t murmur, shout a really big hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    Let’s sing some more to the Almighty God: Sing your own Song to Him again.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.

    Open your mouth and shout another Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

    Father, let the Heavens hear our Hallelujah!

    Father, let Hell tremble at our Hallelujah!

    Father, let Fire Fall at our Hallelujah!

    And let every Person door open at our Hallelujah!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have worshipped – Amen.

    Let somebody shout just one more Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    … And you may Please, be seated.

    GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

    1. Tomorrow we will gather by 7am. That is if Jesus has not returned. If He returns then, there will be no need for Minister’s Conference because we will hold it with Him.

    By 7am we’ll gather: come with your walking shoes.

    You’ll Worship God from 7am to 8am. By His Grace and Permission we will join you by 8am. And if you don’t see me just go ahead.

    1. There is no Holy Ghost Service tonight, it will hold next Friday during the 71st Annual Convention.

    Clean Hands!

    Several years ago God spoke to me and said; one day Presidents will come here. That was at the time when we had one Military Head of State after another!

    So He said we should build a house where they will stay when they come. I said, Yes Lord! And so we built what today is called the Presidential Lodge.

    Several years past, no President showed up. Then my children said to me Daddy, your house is too small, we want you to move to a bigger house. Some said, the Presidential Lodge is there, you are a President yourself – Just move in!

    … You see, your father is not a Prophet (I am a Pastor) but he hears from God once in a while!

    Very soon Presidents arrived! From Former President Obasanjo, President Goodluck Jonathan, among others.

    Why am I telling you this? Two (2) years ago I told the Pastors in Charge of Regions; I said let every Region begin to Farm. “Don’t ask for small Land, ask for big Land and begin to Farm!”

    1. There will be employments for Youths in your Farm;
    2. You will have food for your People;
    3. During the Convention, you will be able to bring something from your farm.

    My children heard me, but very few of them obeyed! Today I say, how I wish my children would hear and obey.

    I am just a Pastor, and I am not a Prophet. But I hear from God once in a while. I am going to ask you to Pray a Prayer for yourself;

    Say Father, Please don’t let me lose what I have, in Jesus’ Name.

    … Go ahead and Pray that Prayer!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    I am telling you all these because God said this is a Solemn Assembly and not the usual Minister’s Conference.

    I am not trying to draw attention to myself. I am sure you remembered the Testimony of one time I was visiting the East; an Elder made me visit his house. He said to me Sir, all I want you to do is come to my bedroom and lie on my bed.

    It’s a strange request, but I agreed – I was already in his house, anyway! So I laid on his bed. He said, Thank You Sir. He had daughters of marriageable age who were not yet married.

    So he said to them, come! The General Overseer has laid on my bed, each one of you jump on that bed. Months later, they were all married – Hallelujah!

    A daughter of mine heard the Testimony and she wept! Why was she weeping? Because she remembered the years when I used to visit a Particular Place and I would stay in her house, sleep in the Guest room for days from Months to Month, years to years!

    She said, Oh God, Daddy GO slept in my house but I never made good use of the opportunity. So you don’t know the Value of a thing until you have lost it.

    Pray that Prayer one more time – Father, don’t let me lose what I have, in Jesus’ Name!

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Don’t worry, I am not going yet – Hallelujah!

    But I am eighty one (81) years already. And like I said last Night (You can Request to read the full Text of that Message on the Label of DMC Only) – “Nobody knows the Minister’s Conference that would be the last.”

    Learn to treat opportunity as something Special. I am an Ordinary man, but I serve an Extraordinary God. And whether you believe it or not, He made me a Promise when He called me into Full-Time Ministry – That He will always be with me.

    I was afraid, how will I take care of my family? I was poor and when I became a Lecturer I thought I was finally out of Poverty. And He said to me Son, I will be with you!

    He is with me, and I want to give you one assurance – It is where I stop that you will begin – Amen.

    So don’t be anxious that I will go soon. Because I want God to take me higher so when you serve Him, you’ll go higher. I am not going yet, but I will go higher in Him.

    I will want to beg you, from now one, when I give Instructions obey – Obey Completely and Instantly. It will be for your own Good.

    Okay! Let’s say Amen tonight – Amen!

    I want you to Pray – Daddy, don’t let this man hide anything from us!

    Psalms 24:3-5;

    3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

    4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

    5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

    When you read this Passage for the first time, what comes to your Mind is something you would call “Protocol”.

    SONG:

    Immortal God, Invincible God
    Immortal God
    How great Thou art.

    So there is something called, Protocol.

    When you visit a Governor or a President, and you begin to talk, you get up and say – Your Excellency, and you begin to introduce everybody. “Why don’t this People just let me talk?” They’ll tell you, “that’s the Protocol.”

    The Passage says, “… Who hath not lifted up his Soul unto Vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.”

    You can’t just go before the Lord, there are Protocols to follow – Something to be observed.

    Clean Hands, Pure Heart. Now He went further to say, No Vanity – “Who hath not lifted up his Soul unto Vanity”.

    You must not lift your Soul to Vanity.

    WHAT IS VANITY?

    The word Vanity actually means Vapour.

    And you know what a Vapour is?

    • Something that appears like Gas. Just for a while and then fades!
    • Something that does not Last.
    • Something that has no real Substance.

    The Bible gives us several Examples of Vanity:

    1. Beauty is Vain:

    Proverbs 31:30 tells us clearly, Beauty is vain.

    Beauty is a Vapour – It doesn’t Last.

    The Elders have a Proverb, they say: “the mouth of an old woman looks like she did not suck her mother’s breasts”.

    In other words, the old woman of today was once a Brand New Child.

    Vapour is something that doesn’t Last.

    Beauty is vain!

    That is why I pity those of you who marry for beauty sake.

    1. Youthful Strength is Vain:

    Isaiah 40:30 made it clear, Even the Youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

    Human Strength is Vanity!

    In 2 Samuel 21: 13-17, the Bible says David waxed faint.

    The Giant killer also fainted in battle.

    1. Wealth is Vanity:

    As Vapour, they don’t Last!

    Proverbs 23:5-5 says, Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own Wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

    1. Popularity is Vain:

    Jeremiah 45:5 says, And seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a Prey in all Places whither thou goest.

    Those who say Hosanna today, will shout “crucify Him” tomorrow.

    Popularity is Vain.

    Some People won’t understand this Point; the Bible says in 1 Kings 19:19-21 that Elisha once had opportunity to be Great. And when the opportunity to let go of Wealth came, he released himself.

    When you considered Moses, the Bible says he forsook his Wealth in Egypt and said he would rather suffer with his People (Hebrews 11:24-27).

    Moses was raised a Prince, he was a Wealthy man. When he forsook all God said, I have made you a god to Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1).

    1 John 2:15 days, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the Love of the Father is not in him.

    … Everything in the world is Vanity. And the Bible says we should not Love the world!

    INTEGRITY:

    Integrity simply means, let your Yes be yes; and your No be no!

    When you say something, it must be so.

    According to Matthew 5:37 – But let your Communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

    Psalms 119:89 says, For ever, O LORD, thy Word is Settled in Heaven.

    It is Yeah and Amen!

    That is why He said if you want to walk together with Him, you must agree.

    Amos 3:3 says, Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

    … Who hath not lifted up his Soul unto Vanity, nor sworn deceitfully – Psalms 23:4

    Matthew 6:24-34 says you should seek God first and His Righteousness, and just leave the rest for Him.

    It was David that said in Psalms 37:25; I have been Young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the Righteous forsaken, nor his Seed begging bread.

    It is not going to happen now!

    Some years ago one of my children said Point blank: the Policy of the Redeemed Christian Church of God says Seventy (70) is the Retirement Age. My Daddy is Seventy (70) years and has not retired.

    I said son, I have been Preparing for my Retirement since I was sixty (60)! And he said to me Sir, I am not going to retire.

    … That my son came to me when he was sixty (60) and said, “Daddy, I want to Retire now”.

    You don’t know tomorrow! So don’t always be in a hurry to speak. Only God knows what will happen the next Minute. There is no room for you to come to the Presence of God with Vanity. In His Holy Hills there is no room for lies; and there is no room there for deceit.

    Because according to Revelation 22:12-15; it is stated clearly: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

    There is no room at all for Liars – Whether you call it White lie, Black lie, Business lie. No lie of any type can go to the hills of the Lord.

    … For without are dogs … and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

    Psalms 101:7 says, He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

    No room for liars there!

    And this is not a joking matter – Majority of our so called Men of God still tell lies.

    • Exaggeration is a lie.
    • Flattering is a lie.
    • Knowing the Truth and not telling it is a lie.

    A Child of God should never lie.

    I have told you the Story before – Pay attention! This is a Special Night.

    I told you that I travelled to Ilesha (DMC NOTES: Ilesha is a town in Osun State Nigeria), came back – I was living at Surulere (DMC NOTES: Surulere is a town in Lagos State Nigeria). And I went to visit my father-in-the-Lord, then I remembered,/ that “you must not go to a Man of God empty.”

    So on my way to his house, I bought some oranges.

    When I got to his house, he asked them to peel some of the oranges for him. While he was licking he said, this orange is sweet, did you buy them on the road? I said Yes Sir!

    And the Holy Spirit said to me son, you have lied? Because you know you didn’t buy it on the road from Ilesha.

    I said, what does it matter? Road is road – Whether from Ilesha or Surulere. It does not affect the taste of the orange.

    And the Holy Spirit won’t let me rest!

    I Pray for everyone of you here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – Anytime you are doing something wrong, may the Holy Spirit not allow you to rest (Amen).

    So I had to say to Papa, excuse me Sir, I bought the orange on my way from Surulere and not from Ilesha.

    Papa said, hmmm! Holy Spirit. He was dealing with me!

    When was the last time you lied or did something wrong and the Holy Spirit didn’t bother you again?

    Do you know what that means? It could mean that He has forsaken you. He says no lie will enter into His Presence.

    And it must interest you to note also, that you must Pay your Vows.

    Ecclesiastes 5:4 says, When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no Pleasure in fools: Pay that which thou hast vowed.

    Pay your Vows! Else you have no business going into the Hills of the Lord.

    There is no room for fools in His Presence.

    Why? Because, Psalms 14:1, The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth Good.

    The fool is not different from the Hypocrite.

    *A Hypocrite is someone who says like the world say – “Mo gbe joko”

    (DMC NOTES: “Mo gbe joko” literally means “I manipulated his thoughts or views about a Subject matter. Another way to say in a Polish way that: I deceived him or her Successfully or lied successfully).

    Job 13:16 says, He also shall be my Salvation: for an Hypocrite shall not come before him.

    He went further to say in Job 34:30 That the Hypocrite reign not, lest the People be ensnared.

    No Hypocrite is allowed in His Presence – So stop Pretending!

    And why is God making coming to His Presence so difficult? – God does not want Unreliable Partners.”

    Proverbs 25:19 Confidence in an Unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

    “I want to be Your Partner” He will say, I don’t want Unreliable Partners!

    You rely on a Pretender, in time of trouble, he will show himself!

    Nobody wants to go to War with somebody you don’t trust.

    Nobody is forcing you to be in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – Go let us know how many of you remain.

    So before you Pray tonight: God I want to come up higher; you need to know if you are welcomed! Because He is the One Who would say, you are Welcome.

    If He does not Welcome you, you cannot force yourself on Him.

    I know some of us want to go Higher; but are you Welcome up there?

    Say Father, I want to come Higher, Please beckon on me to come!

    You know that Story in Matthew 14:28-29; And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

    When Jesus was walking on water Peter said, Master, is that You? Jesus said, Yes! Peter said, beckon on me. The Master said, come! Peter just jumped out of the boat.

    Some Preachers have rebuked Peter; but in all, he walked on water before he began to sink. And I want you to know that he did what no one else had done.

    The Lord has allowed me to share a little bit with you, my children, concerning the Future – You know, like I tell my children things to come and you say, Amen!

    I am telling you one more time:

    • I see a New Redemption Camp – More beautiful, much, much bigger, absolutely secured.

    When I say secured, I mean a Witch would not be able to live here!

    • But I also see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

    The Older ones here or reading now on the Label of DMC would remembered – We were having a Convention at Ebute Metta (DMC NOTES: The National Headquarters Parish of RCCG).

    A woman began to shout, Iya Lagbaja (Meaning the Mother of “So and So”), bring me my bag!

    And the woman said, what do you need your bag for? She said, I am going home.

    The other woman said, I thought you came for the Convention? Well, if you want to go come and take your bag by yourself. And she said, I can’t come inside, there is Fire there!

    I see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) where when Witches fly over our Churches during Vigil, the Witch will fall down and die – Amen.

    Not a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) where Hired Killers come to the Altar to kill our Pastors.

    I see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); where every Minister is a Flame of Fire!

    I see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); where every Workers can raise the Dead!

    I see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); where when they introduce you, everybody would want to touch you!

    You know, like John the Revelator said – I see a New Heaven and a New Earth.

    I see a New Beginning for us (RCCG as a Church) because there will be individual Revivals.

    I see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); where the Ministers would obey Instructions to details.

    I see a New Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); where People will not use Human Wisdom, but would rely on the Holy Spirit.

    I see a New Beginning for all of you: but as we will learn on Sunday (Day 4 Evening Session) – Some will see the Fire but they will not see the Rain!

    Pray and say: Father You have brought me thus far, I would restitute my ways, put right everything I have done wrong. I will clean up my hands and my heart will be Pure.

    But Please Lord, beckon on me to come Higher. Because Father, I want to come higher.

    Go ahead and Pray till you are satisfied.

    Note: When you are going, do so quietly.

    See you tomorrow if the Lord has not come. God Bless You!
