OPENING PRAYER
Immortal, Invincible, the All-knowing God, the All-Wise God, the Almighty God Himself; we bless Your Holy Name.
Thank You because You ate Unchangeable, Thank You because we can rely on You, Thank You because it is Your Mercy that we are not Consumed – They are renewed every Morning; Thank You because Great is Your Faithfulness – Father, Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
Father, today as we continue in our Study,, continue with us; as we learn more and more, Please let us become more and more like You; draw us Closer and Closer unto You and just let all be well with us.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Well, let us shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: The Almighty God will draw you Closer to Himself today – Amen!
And then you may Please be seated.
Even as we go on to Part 22 of our Series: “For Whom The Heavens Open” – Using Joshua as our Example!
We are still dealing with Joshua 6:2 because there are still something there that we are still yet to dig deep into.
Joshua 6:2 – And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the King thereof, and the Mighty Men of Valour.
We have already spoken about “The Issue of Prophecy”.
DMC NOTES: You can get to read this in the Part 20 of the Series on this Link:
But there is one Big word there that we have jumped over – And the Lord said unto Joshua: But He said “SEE”.
So, we want to look at the word “SEE” and then discuss “The Issue of Vision”.
The Bible teaches that whatever you see, you can have!
In Genesis 13: 14-15; God said to Abraham – All the Land you can see, I have given it to you.
And then God encouraged him in Genesis 13: 17-downwards; God said to him – Walk to the right, to the left, forward and backward. He said: See more so that you can have more!
… The more you see, the more you can have!
In 1 Chronicles 4:10; the Almighty God enlarge your Coast.
The first time that I attended Keneth Hagin Camp Meeting in 1979 and I saw a crowd of about seventeen thousand (17,000) People.
Oh God, I came back to Nigeria trustijg the Almighty God for a Church that will have at least that kind of crowd during Convention.
But then I heard of Yonggi Cho – That there is a Man who has a Church, much much more bigger than that. I didn’t believed and so I had to go and “SEE” because what you see is what you will desire. I had no Money but God Provided.
And I got there and I saw a building that could take approximately fifty thousand (50,000) People and I heard the Pastor begging those who came to Church that Sunday – Please don’t come next Sunday because of the People who could not find a Place inside the Church this Sunday even though they are holding seven (7) Services every Sunday.
You can be sure that when I returned; that my desire Changed – I was no longer going to be satisfied with a Church of seventeen thousand (17,000) People because I have seen something much bigger.
Vision is a Very Crucial Thing as it determines your Future!
God can enlarge your Coast – If you can see it, you can have it.
Psalms 37:4 says that if you will delight yourself in the Lord, He will grant you the desires of your Heart.
If you haven’t seen it, you can desire it. If you don’t desire it, what is He going to grant you?
I Pray that the Almighty God will enlarge your Coast – Amen. That He will give you the Grace to see Great Things – Amen!
Some of the Men of God and Men of God that I know; including quite a few under my Overseership are already satisfied if they have a Congregation of one thousand (1,000) People – They won’t even let the world rest.
When it is within the Power of the Almighty God to make you Greater than I.
Why should you limit the Holy One of Israel?
Who told you that what God is doing the first Friday of the Month at the Redemption Camp; that He cannot do it at least in one hundred (100) Places in Nigeria, the Second Friday of the Month?
Who told you that where you are is where God wants you to end?
It’s only if you can see it! – If you can see it, then you can have it.
There are many People at least in my Village who has never seen an Air-Conditioned Room.
So, when you talk to them about a Room where there is Harmattan all year round – They will look at you and say: Hey, is it because I didn’t go to School; do you think that I am Stupid?
… Because they have never seen it before.
They have never seen a Room that is Rugged – And so they never desired it.
Change your Vision, enlarge your Coast and God will grant you the desires of your Heart!
The Power of Vision is Incredible – You don’t believed me, read Genesis 30: 27-43.
Jacob was living with Laban – Jacob’s mother was an Original 419 Woman. You know her Story.
She maneuvered the Blessings that was supposed to be for Esau and landed it to the lap of Jacob.
And then her son went to live with Laban – The Uncle, who has a PhD in 419. He got the boy to serve him for seven (7) years and then instead of giving him Rachel; he sneaked in Leah.
And Jacob said: No Problem, I will take away your Riches – This is one 419 Playing with another 419.
He said that you want to Pay me? No Problem!
Every animal that has Stripes, they will be mine, the One that is Solid Colour, let it be yours.
Now, let us gather together all animals today – If you see anyone that has Stripes, keep it away far away from here. Let all the animals here be Solid Colour.
But from now on, whatever they Produced, we will decide who will be the owner by whether they are Solid Colour or Stripes.
And Laban said agreed!
Do you know what Jacob did? He got some woods, made white Stripes on them. And whenever a Strong animal is Pregnant, he will put the wood with Stripes where the animal can come to drink.
And while they are drinking and looking at the “Beautiful Stripes”; and when it is time to deliver, they will deliver children with Stripes.
And at the end of the day; the Man increased Exceedingly – Applying the Principle of Vision.
In Genesis 5: 1-6; the Almighty God brought Abraham out in the Night – And said: Look at the Sky, what can you see? He said Stars.
How many of them? Ha, too numerous to count.
He said, so that is how your Seed will be.
Today all over the world; People are claiming to be of the Seed of Abraham – Muslims, Israeli, Christians; are all of the Seed of Abraham.
But he has to see it first.
In Numbers 13: 17-20; Moses sent the Spies to go and spy the Land – The Land that we are about to move to.
Go and see what kind of Land is it – Is it worth our efforts? Go and see for me.
You remembered that they came back and said that don’t let us describe it to you – Look at the Fruits, see how big? The Fruits are such that it takes two (2) Men to carry just a bunch of Grapes.
So, I want you from now on to begin to:
I. See yourself as Great.
II. See yourself as Prosperous.
III. See yourself as Successful
Because you have to be aware of how you see yourself!
Because in Numbers 13: 25-33; the Spies came back and said: We saw Giants in the Land and we see ourselves as Grasshoppers.
All those who see themselves as Grasshoppers died as Grasshoppers.
Are you a Child of God? You are not a Grasshopper. You are not Somebody anybody can walk over!
Why? 1 John 4:4 says: Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
It is not how you look outside that matters; who you are is determined by who is dwelling in you!
1 Samuel 16: 6-7; the Almighty God said that Men will look at the Outside but God looks at the inside.
How do you see yourself?
Be careful what you focus on because what you see, what you desire; you will have!
So, if you focus on the wrong things, you will get the wrong things.
2 Kings 5: 20-27 – Gehazi saw the Wealth of Naaman and wanted it.
So, he made the necessary arrangement, went and collected Wealth and got something Extra.
Because you see, there is something about God – He is able to do Exceedingly Abundantly Above all you ask or think. He will give you Extra.
Take Samson for Example – He was always seeing wrong things.
Judges 14: 1-18 – He saw a woman among the Enemies. The Parents said: Can’t you find a woman among your own People?
He said: No, I know what I am seeing and that is what I want. And they said okay.
He nearly died on the way as a Lion roared at him but God said that I still need you boy and so God came to his rescue.
He didn’t learnt his Lesson – He saw a harlot in Judges 16: 1-3. He went into a harlot and God said that I still need you and so He rescued him.
He kept on seeing until he saw Delilah – And you know the rest of the Story.
Mighty Men can be destroyed by Lust of the Flesh – What you see can destroy you if you see the wrong thing!
That is why when the Enemies captured Samson; do you know the first thing they did? They removed his eyes. You have seen enough – Now, Pay the Price.
In Matthew 14: 23-32; the Bible tells us that the Disciples were in a boat, there was a Storm, Jesus Christ was walking on water and they saw him and were afraid.
Jesus Christ said: Don’t be afraid, it is me.
Then Peter said: If you are the one, ask me to come!
Jesus Christ said come and he jumped out of the boat.
And the Bible said that He was already walking on the water to go and meet Jesus Christ. Then he saw the wind boisterous – He saw the Storm.
The Storms were there before but now he took his eyes from Jesus Christ and began to look at the Storm.
And of course, he began to sink.
Don’t look at the Storms – Look unto Jesus, the Author and the Funisher of our Faith.
Colossians 3: 1-4 says: Focus on things above.
Are you heading for Heaven? Focus on where you are going and not on things on the Earth.
If you will need to get up there; Focus on things up there!
One of the Prayers that you are going to Pray today or as you read now on the Label of DMC is that God is going to open your eyes because there are more things round you than you can see.
I mean in 2 Kings 6: 8-17 – You know the Story!
When a King was warring against Israel and Elisha was revealing the Secrets of the Plans of the King. And the King sent a Battalion of Army to go and arrest Elisha.
And the Servant went out and saw that they were surrounded by a whole Battalion of Army. And he came to the Master and said: Master, what are we going to do as we were surrounded.
The Master said: Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
And Elisha said: God, Please open his eyes and God did – And he saw all over; Horses of Fire, Chariots of Fire.
Every Child of God as I told you before; you are living like a City in a Siege! – There is a Wall of Fire all around you. You may not see them but they are there.
Focus on things Above – Ask God to open your Eyes, to see Spiritual Things and you will be amazed at how many things that are around you, that you can’t see with the Ordinary Eyes.
The Bible says in Proverbs 20:12 – It says: Seeing eyes, God made them.
I. It is Possible to see Angels!
II. It is Possible for you to see the Glory of God all around you.
III. It is Possible for God to show you several Opportunities that you don’t even know are there.
There are many doors around you but you can’t even see that they are there!
In 2 Chronicles 12: 1-5; Paul tells us of a Man who was translated to the Third Heavens and he saw things.
Let me Close by saying:
There are things that you cannot find out by yourself but God can reveal them to you – God can give you Revelations!
In Matthew 16: 13-19; when Jesus Christ was asking the Disciples – Who do People say I am?
They said – Some say You are this or You are that.
But Peter said that You are the Son of the Living God.
Jesus Christ said: Flesh and Blood has not shown you this – This Revelation is from God!
There are Revelations that only God can give!
You can read the Bible and God will show you “Hidden Truths”.
In the Past three (3) Series now; we have been looking at this Joshua 6:2 – I’m sure that you have read that Passage several times before but you never thought that there are Lessons there that could last for three (3) Series.
And there are more, even though we might be moving on from the Next Series.
You may need to cry to God today and say – Just Open my eyes Oh Lord, let me see Visions!
David said: Open my eyes Oh Lord, let me see Glorious Things out of thy Words.
Many of us are going through Life as if we are Blindfolded!
But I Pray that from now on, God will open your eyes and you will see Vision Physical; you will see Vision Material; you will see Vision Spiritual!
ALTAR CALL
And those of you who has not yet given your Life to Jesus Christ, definitely you are living in Darkness and you don’t even know the Pleasure, the Joy that can be found in Christ.
But if you will come to Him – He will open your eyes and you will begin to see some Glorious Things that He has reserved for your Future.
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; Please bow your Head now and cry to Him and ask Him to save your Soul, ask Him to open your eyes; so that you will be able to at least discovered that you are heading for Hell and you can turn round and begin to head for Heaven.
And I will Pray for you now!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, I want to Thank You once again for Your Words – Thank You for Revelational Knowledge, Thank You for those who has heard Your Words now or read it on the Label of DMC and they are willing to come into the Light of the Gospel.
Please Lord, receive them, have Mercy on them, let Your Blood wash away their sins, save their Souls, give them a Brand New Beginning and let them begin to live in the Light of the Almighty God for the rest of their lives.
As for all Your Children, my Father and my God; I Pray that you will open our eyes, that we will see Glorious Things that You have in Store for us.
So that as we see, we will begin to desire and our desires will be granted.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Well, those of you who has given your Life to Jesus Christ, I rejoice with you. And I Promised you God helping me that from now on; I will be Praying for you.
And I will want you to Contact me – Let me have your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests. And I Promise you that I will be Praying for you God helping me.
Then contact any of my Pastors in one of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – Tell him that I sent you and he will tell you what to do Next.
God Bless You – Amen!
Let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!

Let Us Pray!
SONG
I am Serving the God of Miracle I know, Yes I know I am Serving the God of Miracle I know, Yes I know
OPENING PRAYER
Miracle Working God – Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, the One with whom Nothing shall be Impossible; we Worship You.
We Thank You for Your Goodness, for Your Mercy, for Your Support, for Your Provisions.
Thank You for Healings, Thank You for Your Deliverance, Thank You for Miracles, Signs and Wonders.
Father, Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Today again Lord God Almighty, You the Unchangeable Lord; Prove Yourself in the lives of Your Children, do Marvelous Things, Fulfill all Your Prophecies in our lives and let Your Name be Glorified.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
We want you to Salute one (1) or two (2) People and tell them that: What God has Planned for your Life had come to Pass – Amen!
And then you may Please be seated.
We will be moving to Paet 21 of our Series on: “For Whom The Heavens Open” using the Life of Joshua as an Example!
Joshua 6:2 – And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the King thereof, and the Mighty Men of Valour.
Last Week, we spoke about “The Issue of Prophecies”.
We defined Prophecies as God revealing what He is about to do because even though God is the Almighty, even though He is Sovereign and does as He Pleases in the course of Heaven; He is still so Generous that before He does anything, He will reveal it to His Servants – The Prophet.
And so, we went through the Scriptures and we saw again and again how He Prophesised and the Prophecies came to Past.
Today, we want to look at the Prophecies that He gave in Verse 2 to Joshua!
He said to Joshua – I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the King thereof, and the Mighty Men of Valour.
I have given you the City.
I have given you the King.
I have given you the Mighty Men of Valour.
How come the Almighty God says that He has given Jericho, the King and the Mighty Men of Valour?
He has given Jericho because He owns Jericho – Psalms 24:1 says: The Earth is the Lord and the Fullness thereof.
… Jericho was Part of the Earth.
He owns Jericho because:
I. He Created it.
Genesis 1:1 says – In the Beginning, God Created the Heaven and the Earth.
That is why in Africa – At least in my own Part of Africa (Nigeria); a Traditional Ruler of a Town is called “The Owner of the Town”.
Now, the current Traditional Ruler might not be the owner but his Great, Great Grandfather founded the Town and that is why we called them “The Owner”.
So, He owns your City/Town/Village – Which is why you as a Christian should not fold your hands and let the devil rule your City/Town/Village.
That City/Town/Village belongs to God!
So, any evil force roaming about in your City/Town/Village is an Intruder – Go home and chase it out in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ (Amen).
But He did not just give you Jericho, He gave you the King.
So, the King is the Pretender – Claiming to be the Owner of Jericho.
And so God said: Alright, I am giving you the City and I am giving the Fellow who says that He is the King.
Why? – Daniel 4:25; the Bible says that the Most High rules in the affairs of Men and gives it to whomsoever He Pleases!
So, you think that you are the Owner of the Town – No! If He puts you in Charge, He just did it because that is what Pleases Him for that moment.
So, if you get in Authority and you forget who puts you there; just remember 1 Samuel 2:7 – God can raise up and He can pull down.
He has done it before and He can do it again.
He can do what He likes with anything and with all things – Why?
John 1: 1-3 – In the Beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same has been with God from the Beginning and by Him were all things Created.
And you know what? – Revelation 4:11 made it clear – He created all things for His Pleasures!
Do you know what that means?
He Created you for His Pleasures; He Created everybody for His Pleasures – So, if you cease to bring Pleasures to Him, He can remove you and put in a Substitute.
Whenever He puts you in any Position at all, remember that you are there to give Him Pleasures – Never forget that!
And as I have taught you before – For every Person He puts in Position, He has a Substitute waiting. Just in case that you gets there and forget who has put you there.
You can’t hold God Captive – Even as He is Pulling you out, He will put Somebody else in.
And then, He went on forward to say that – I have given you the Mighty Men of Valour that says that we are the one Protecting the City.
Well, how could He give Mighty Men to Joshua?
Because according to Joshus 40:29 – He is the One who gives Strength to the Mighty.
… So you are Mighty? Where do you get the Might from?
You think that you are Powerful? But it is written – God has spoken once, twice have I heard it that Power belongs to God.
If He gives you a little bit of the Power, don’t forget the Source of the Power!
He alone is the Almighty – Genesis 17:1, He says: I am Jehovah El-Shaddai; the God who is More Than Enough, the Almighty.
In Genesis 18: 9-14; when He was talking to a woman about becoming Pregnant at the age of ninety (90) and the woman was Laughing – He said: Who do you think is talking to you and you are Laughing? Do you think it is your Husband?
He says that: Is there anything “Too Hard” for me?
Luke 1:37; He was talking to a Virgin and He says that you don’t even need to meet a Man. If I want to make you Pregnant, I will make you Pregnant.
He said: Because with God, Nothing shall be Impossible.
But then, there is something very interesting here – When He said that I am giving you “The Mighty Men”.
Just Overlook the Adjective – “Mighty” and look at the “Men” – “Mighty Men”.
They may be “Mighty” but they are still “Men”!
And if they are “Men”; then they are Dust!
In Genesis 3:19; He says: For Dust thou art, and unto Dust shalt thou return.
As long as we are talking about Men; remember that Men are Limited no matter how Mighty!
I. Men can be Limited by Age – Ecclesiastes 12: 1-7.
If you are a Man, you will grow Old.
And I like the way Solomon described what happens when you grow Old:
He talks about the Grinders becoming few or cease (DMC NOTES: Ecclesiastes 12:3).
And then the Dentist will be removing your teeth one by one.
I saw the Picture of Somebody they called the Oldest Person in the world – There is hardly any teeth left in his mouth. And I was just wondering – How come you will say that you are still enjoying this world and you can’t even eat meat anymore?
He said those who are looking out of the Window will be Darkened. He is talking about Light (DMC NOTES: Ecclesiastes 12:2).
That as you grow Older, for one reason or the other; all those things you could have read when you are a Child, you begin to need Assistance.
He even said that your legs will begin to Shake/Tremble (DMC NOTES: Ecclesiastes 12:3)
I don’t know why this Man will have to give us this kind of Descriptions!
If you are a Man, you will grow Old – Age will limit you!
II. If you are a Man, you will be Limited by Sleep.
No matter how Strong you are, no matter how Mighty you are; when Sleep comes, with all your Mightiness you become Nobody!
1 Samuel 26: 7-25 – King Saul was surrounded by his Bodyguards – Mighty Men of Valour; but they all fell asleep. The King was Sleeping, the Bodyguards surrounding him were all asleep as well.
And David came when they were all Sleeping and he took away the Spear of the King.
He got far away and then shouted – Hey you Soldiers, you are supposed to be Mighty Men, taking care of the King. Where is the Spear of the King?
I Pity those of you who trust Bodyguards; I Pity those of you who trust Nightguards – If God wants to kill you; He will put all of them to Sleep. They will be dead long before they wake up. Because they are Men and so they must get tired.
And the Bible tells us in Isaiah 40: 28-31 – Only God does not get tired; as even Young Men will become Weary.
2 Samuel 21: 15-17 tells us that even ‘The Giant Killer”; David grew Faint in Battle. And he could have died if Help doesn’t come.
III. And of course, they are Mighty Men but they will die one day.
It is incredible to read in 2 Kings 13:20; it says that Elisha died.
The Man with the Double Portion of Anointing died.
Samuel, “The King Maker” in 1 Samuel 25:1 also died.
The King Maker and King Remover died!
IV. Mighty Men are Limited because they can’t even withstand Fire.
Isn’t it interesting in Daniel 3: 19-22 – It was the Mighty Men that threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the Fiery Furnace that died.
The heat of the Furnace killed the Mighty Men.
V. Mighty Men can go Mad – Daniel 4: 28-37.
A whole King became Mad for seven (7) years with all His Might.
VI. Do you know that Mighty Men can die of Thirst?
Judges 15: 14-19 – Samson had just slaughtered a thousand People with the Jawbone of an Ass and then he became thirsty.
Remember what he said? – Oh, unless I get water to drink, I will die.
Take water away from Mighty Men and see how Mighty they are!
VII. And do you know that Mighty Men can still be frightened by Dreams.
Pharaoh had a Dream in Genesis 41: 1-44 and he woke up and the Dream frightened him.
Daniel 2: 1-end – It tells us the Story of another Mighty King. We are talking of Kings so Mighty that they Practically rule the world?
He had a Dream and forgot the Dream and when he woke up he was Shaking.
VIII. And when you read Esther 6: 1-11; you will discovered that even a Mighty King might not be able to Sleep – God just decided to take away the Sleep.
It says that in the Night, the King could not Sleep.
Thank God that the Bible says that He gives His Beloveth Sleep.
When God wants to Punish you and you say that you are Mighty; He can make sure that you can’t even Sleep.
IX. And do you know that Mighty Men can destroy themselves with their own Weapons.
Take the Example of Goliath in 1 Samuel 17: 45-51 – After David knocked down Goliath with a Stone, the Bible says that there was no Sword in the hand of David.
If David had a Sword,, the Sword would have been “Too Small” for the neck of Goliath.
But Goliath has a Sword “Big Enough” to take off his Head.
When you read Esther 7: 1-10; it is the Gallows that Haman Prepared for Mordecai that he was hung open.
Stop being afraid of Mighty Men – They are small in the Hand of God!
Let me begin to round up by telling you that – Your Daddy (God) is the Almighty God.
He lives forever – Not Limited by Death.
Deuteronomy 32:40; He says – I lift up my hands to the Heavens and I say I live forever.
He is never Tired – Isaiah 40:28.
Because He is never tired, that is why He never needed to Sleep.
That is why only People like me can Sleep very soundly at Night – Once I commit my Sleep into His Hands, I just Sleep off.
I used to tell People that I Sleep like a baby – When babies Sleep, they Sleep without concerns for tomorrow.
Babies doesn’t care what goes on because he knows that by tomorrow; there will be food – The Problem is not his own.
Your God is not Limited by Fire.
In Daniel 3: 20-27; the Bible tells me that He was the 4th Man in the Fiery Furnace.
The Fire that killed the Mighty Men had no effect on Him!
Why? Because He Himself is the Consuming Fire – Hebrews 12:29.
And you know what? He never grows Old.
Psalms 90: 1-2 says: From Everlasting tp Everlasting, He is God.
That is why He calls Himself “I Am” – Never “I Was”; not a question of “I will be”. He said “I Am” – Exodus 3:15.
So, I want to encourage those of us who are Children of God – You have the Best of all friends!
But I want to warn those of you who are not His Children – He could be the worst of all Enemies.
An Enemy who can never die.
An Enemy who can never get tired.
An Enemy who neither Sleep nor Slumber.
That is a terrible Enemy to have.
Cross Over to his Side!
There is a Popular Saying – If you can’t beat them, then join them. You can’t beat God, join Him!
ALTAR CALL
So, if you will like to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ today, bow your Head wherever you are and cry to Him.
Say: Lord have Mercy on me, save my Soul, I want to be on Your Side, I want to be on the Winning Side. Take over my Life Lord and I will Serve You for the rest of my Life.
Even as I Pray for you now!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

Father, Please receive them, have Mercy on them, let Your Blood wash away all their sins, write their names in the Book of Life, receive them into the Family of God.
Father, I Pray that as long as they Choose to serve You, Please Uphold them till the very End.
As for all those who are already Your Children, my Father and my God; Please every Enemies that they may have – No matter how many, no matter how Big; bring them down under their Feet.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

TOPIC: FOR WHOM THE HEAVENS OPEN – PART 20 (CASE STUDY OF JOSHUA (PART 7) – THE ISSUE OF PROPHECY)
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
DATE: 9TH JULY 2023
BIBLE TEXT: JOSHUA 6:2
Let Us Pray!
SONG
I will Praise You Oh my Saviour I will Praise You Oh my Saviour I will Praise You Oh my Saviour I will Praise Your Forever more
OPENING PRAYER
Ancient of Days, the One who has no Beginning and no Ending; the All-knowing God; we Worship You.
We Thank You for Your Goodness, we Thank You for Your Mercy, we Thank You for Your Support, we Thank You for the Salvation of our Souls, we Thank You that thus far You have helped us and we know that You are not tired of helping us because You don’t get tired and You are never Weary.
We Thank You because You are the Unchangeable Changer. Glory be to Your Holy Name. Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Today, as Your Word is going out to Your Children, we Pray that the Power in Your Word will bring Healings, Deliverance, Victory, Joy and Progress even to Your Children.
So that at the end of today’s Service my Father and my God; we will all sing a New Song.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Let’s go ahead and greet one another with a Word of Prophrcy and said: From now on my Brother and Sister; it will be well with you – Amen!
And you then, we may Please be seated!
We will continue with our Series on: “For Whom The Heavens Open – Part 20; using Joshua as our Example!
And today, we are moving on to Joshua 6:2:
We have learnt in Joshua 6:1 that a Siege means that a City is Surrounded by a Wall for Protection is now Surrounded by Enemies Outside the Wall, making sure that those who are Inside can’t come Out and those who are Outside can’t come in.
And we have learnt that a Christian Life is like that of a Siege or a “Besieged City” – That there are Enemies Outside, Lions out there, Roaring and looking for whom it may devour.
But that the beauty of a Christian Life is that yes even if there are Enemies Outside but you don’t need to go Outside in the world because everything you need is within that City because all your Needs are adequately Provided for by the Lord Jesus Christ – Healings, Deliverance, Joy, Prosperity, Peace and even a Glorious Future; they are all within. And you don’t need to go out into the world because going out into the world is like a dog going back to its vomit.
But now in Verse 2 – Joshua 6:2:
And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the King thereof, and the Mighty Men of Valour.
We are looking at a Passage that is heavily loaded.
And the first thing we will look at in this Particular Passage is: “THE ISSUE OF PROPHECY”.
What is Prophecy?
Simply, it means God revealing what He is about to do!
Amos 3:7 says God will not do a thing but He will first of all revealed it to His Servant His Prophet.
In Isaiah 46: 9-10; the Bible tells us that the Almighty God declares the End from the Beginning.
He will tell you things that are yet to happen if you are His Servant, the Prophet.
And we have to remember that according to Revelation 1:8; that our God is the Alpha and Omega – The Beginning and the Ending, they all meet in Him.
That is why He can declare things that are yet to happen because the things that are yet to happen He already knows.
Like Somebody said: Where you are going, God is already there.
According to Acts 15:18; the Bible says: Known unto God are all His works before the Foundation of the Earth.
Long before Joshua was born, God knew that one day he will come across Jericho with His Words.
The day that they were laying the Foundation of Jericho, God was there.
Which explains that when He decides to Pull down the Wall, it was an easy thing for Him to do.
And this should be an Encouragement for everyone of us – There is Nothing happening to us that is New to God! Our God is never taken by Surprise – He knows the End from the Beginning!
So, even before you begin to Pray, Pray with the Confidence that the One you are crying to already knew that you will be Praying at a Particular Period in your Life and the answer has already been made available!
It’s like a Governor or President declaring a Road Open – Before he says that he is cutting the Tape, the road had been Constructed, the road had been Tested and Nothing New is happening.
That is why I have Good News for Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC – Your tomorrow will be alright (Amen).
So, when we talk about the “Issue of Prophecy”; if any Prophet still turn out to be False, it is not from God to start with – God never tells you anything that is not already Completed. He tells you something that is already Settled.
In Numbers 23:19; the Bible says that God is not a Man that He should lie, neither the son of Man that He should repent – Anything He says is already Settled.
In Psalms 33: 8-9; the Bible says that the reason all Men should fear before God is that when He spake, it is done.
And Romans 3:4 says: All Men could be Liars but God will be True.
It is one of the reasons why I always just smiled when I hear some Prophets Prophesying. And you listened to their Prophecies and they say: If this happens then this is likely to be the Result.
No, No, No; that’s not the way of God – God will say this is what I am going to do. Period!
Because before He tells you, He has already done it.
You go through the Scriptures and you will see several Examples of Prophecies:
Genesis 12: 1-3 – Before Abraham left his father’s house; God had already said that I am going to make your name Great.
So, when in Genesis 17: 1-21; after years of God’s Promise; God said to Abraham: Oh, you are going to be the father of a Multitude.
Abraham Laughed – I am going Childless and I am about to die.
And God in His Abode in Heaven must have been Laughing – Because by the time we finally get to Genesis 21: 1-7; Sarah herself said: Who would have thought that God will give a Child to an Old Woman like me.
She said that God has made me Laugh and all who hears will Laugh with me.
When God speaks, it is done – Don’t doubt Him at all!
I mean in Luke 1: 26-38; He spoke to a Virgin and say: You will bring forth a son.
That Girl said: How can that be?
The Almighty God said that I am the One talking and not a Priest or Someone else. What I have said, I have said it.
The response of every “True Child” of God to a Prophecy coming from God should be like that of Mary – “Let it be to me according to thy Word”.
… Don’t query Him!
When you go through Scriptures, you will see a lot of “If” of the Bible going to unbelievable length based on the Prophecies of God.
For Example: In Isaiah 43:2; God Promised that if you go through Fire, it is not going to burn you – Only God can say that.
So, when we now get to Daniel 3: 23-27 – When they threw in Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the Fiery Furnace; the Fire refused to burn.
And the reason those boys were sure that the Fire is not going to burn them is Simply because God had Promised.
Even when God speaks to Prophets and He says things that even Prophets find it difficult to believe; God will still Prove Himself.
I mean in Ezekiel 37: 1-10 – God asked Ezekiel: Will these dry bones live? And the Bible makes it clear that the bones were not just dry but they were “Very Dry”.
The Man of God said: Only You can tell.
This is even beyond my Faith – And Ezekiel was not an Ordinary Prophet but a Great one.
But God said to him – Son of Man Prophesy in my Name. Speak to the dry bones – Tell the dry bones that dry bones live.
And you know the rest of the Story – The dry bones lived.
I am not a Prophet – Prophets are those who sit down in the Office of Prophets and God speaks to them Per Second, Per Second.
But once a while, I do hear from Him – And occasionally, I hear certain things that even will Challenge my Faith even though I knew that with God all things are Possible.
I can never forget the case when we had a Holy Ghost Service at Adamasingba Stadium (DMC NOTES: Now known as Lekan Salami Stadium located in Ibadan Oyo State Nigeria).
And the Almighty God said to me that: Son, in the crowd there; there is a woman. Under her armpit are not hairs but feathers. Call her out so that I will heal her.
That is beyond Human Imagination – That is True Prophecy.
It is not True Prophecy to say in Nigeria – Thus saith the Lord; in the Montg of June, it will rain tomorrow.
It is the Rainy Season and so don’t tell me that it will Rain tomorrow.
I never believed but He told me.
God, we have had a Fantastic Night but let us go. If you say that there is a Woman out there with feathers under her armpit. I know and You know that she is not going to come out and everybody will look at me and say here goes a False Prophet.
He said to me: Son, do you want her to die with her Problem? And I said No way. Alright, this is what God says.
Some of you were there – She came out and God Solved the Problem.
I now want to Prophesy to Someone – Every Problems that you are covering with your “Beautiful Dresses”; my Father will solve them today (Amen).
When God makes a Promise, whatever it has to do to fulfill that Promise; He will do!
In Matthew 44: 23-33; He told the Disciples – Go ahead, I will join you on the other Side of the Lake. And then they went and He went to the Mountaintop to Pray.
By the time He decided to come and join the People, they were in a Storm – And He has already said that I will see you on the other Side.
He walked on water to fulfill His Promise and He suspended the Law of Gravity.
Whatever He has to do to fulfill His Promise, He will – Once He spoke, it is done!
So, you need to learn, even just by Studying His Track Records that whatever He says, He will confirm!
For Example:
In John 6:48 – He said that I am the Bread of Life.
And of course He confirmed it – He took 5 loaves of Bread and 2 Fishes; he began to break the Bread and fed 5,000 People.
Somebody said: Where was the Bread coming from? – From the Bread of Life and He has twelve (12) Baskets Leftovers.
One funny Fellow said to me – Oh, He didn’t actually Multiplied the Bread you know. He was Teaching the People and they enjoyed the Teaching so much that their Hunger disappeared.
I said what about the twelve (12) Baskets?
He said that I am the Ressureection and the Life – John 11:25 and He Proved it
In John 11: 39-44; He brought back a Man who has been dead and buried for four (4) days.
In John 14:6; He said that I am “The Way” where People say there is no Way.
And in Acts 12 5-11; He Proved it – Peter was Imprisoned, he was tied and handcuffed in a Prison with the doors firmly shut and Security Guards are at the Outside.
… Talk of Impossible to Escape!
But when the Way showed up, the handcuffs fell and the Soldiers kept Sleeping. The doors opened on their own Accord and closed after Peter had gone out and the Guards were fast asleep.
When they woke up the following day, they thought that Peter was still inside but he was already gone.
I am Praying for Someone today or reading now on the Label of DMC – In the Name that is above every other name, God will make a Way for you (Amen).
And then He made a Promise in Acts 1:8 – He says that you shall receive Power after the Holy Ghost is come upon me. That’s what He said.
And He confirmed it in Acts 3: 1-8; when Peter (An Ordinary Fisherman) laid his hands on a Man who was born Lame and the Man began to walk, jump and Praise God.
Why? He had received Power!
That is why I am sure that it will grieved the Almighty God for those of you who has received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit to think that you are Powerless!
It is as if you are saying that God is a Liar.
Oh, I am not saying that to Judge you – I have been through it.
I told you before when I was in Ilorin (DMC NOTES: Capital City of Kwara State Nigeria) several years ago and I was Praying like Nobody Business – God give me Power; I need Power to do this work.
And He spoke to me and said: What have you done with the one I have given you? I said I can’t feel any Power?
He said that did I say that Man shall live by Feelings?
Then I say I will begin to use the Power.
And He took me up on that because very early the next day; Somebody came with a Child who has not slept for days and the Doctors has sent the Chikd home to go and die.
They brought the Fellow for Prayers and I said Oh God, what do I do now? And He said: What about yesterday’s Night?
But there was no dodging because the Child was there.
I took the Child in my hand and began to Pray Trembling. And all of a sudden, the Child went limp and I said Oh God, the Child had died.
The Child didn’t die but felt asleep for the first time in Days – And that was the End of the Problem!
Who told you that you are Powerless? Is God a Liar?
And then you need to Pay attention to this – He Promised that He will Return.
John 14: 1-3 – He says that I am going Home to Prepare a Place for you. When I finished, I am coming back again.
It doesn’t matter what the situation may appear to be like now; Jesus Christ will Return!
And I want you to know – There is Nothing wrong with the Power of the Most High God. If you are not getting everything you should get from Him, check your Faith!
In Mark 5: 25-34; when the Woman with the Issue of Blood touched the Hem of His Garment and she got her Healing.
And Jesus Christ said that Virtues has gone out of me – A Spark of Fire had gone out of me to heal Somebody.
The Woman came and confessed to Him.
Jesus Christ didn’t say: My Power had made you Whole. He said your Faith.
The Power is there but out of this crowd, you are the only one who reached out to tap into the Power.
So my Beloveth Children – Today or as you read now on the Label of DMC; tap into that Power!
When God says that by His Stripes you are Healed; it is a Settled Matter.
When He says that He sent His Words and it healed them and delivered them from all their Destructions – it is a Settled Matter.
Reach Out and Claim your Victory!
ALTAR CALL
As for those of you who has not given your Life to Jesus Christ; this is why I tell you again and again – Don’t be a Loser, come to the Almighty God.
He said: Come unto me all ye that Labour and are heavy ladened and I will give you rest.
Come and Surrender your Life to Him and He will give you Rest!
Let us bow our Heads in Prayers.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
The Ancient of Days, I just want to Thank You for all those who has made up their Minds that they want to Surrender their lives to You today.

And Lord God Almighty, all those who are already Your Children, because once You Speak, it is done.
All Your Prophecies concerning them, fulfill today. Increase their Faith and let them obtain whatever belongs to them.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

I have just returned from a Journey. I spent most of Last Month (June) in America because of our America Convention 2023 and I had to do some other things – Dedicating Churches et cetera et cetera.
And I visited one of our Branches – The last time I was there was several years ago and I just felt impressed by the Lord to go there again.
The Last time that I visited the Place; there was this very Young Boy who had Sickle Cell of the worst type. He was having crisis upon crisis and the Doctors had said that it is not likely he will live long.
And that little boy heard that I was coming to visit their Parish and said to the Pastor, “Maybe if I could see Daddy; God may heal me.”
The Pastor said, I can’t guarantee that but we will see!
But lo and behold, as he was getting to Church that Day, my car arrived.
And so, as I was coming out of the car; I just saw this “Little Child” and everybody knows that I love children. And I just went to the Child and hug him.
This Last time that I was back in the Church and I met a Young Man and he said: They said I won’t make it but now I am a Graduate and I have not visited the Hospital for years,
This time as we hugged; I was so full of Joy – Tears came to my eyes.
Now, the reason I’m telling you the Story is because there is Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC – A Miracle is coming your way that will cause you to weep for Joy!
If you are the one, let your Hallelujah be the Loudest – HALLELUJAH!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The first Friday of Next Month (August); there won’t be Holy Ghost Service because our Annual Convention for Year 2023 is Next Month (August).
And The RCCG Convention for this Year (2023) is going to be from 7th to 13th August 2023.
So the Friday of the Convention is the one that will be for the Holy Ghost Service!
The Theme for our Convention is: “BEYOND EXPECTATIONS”.
In other words, it doesn’t matter what you are Expecting; God will do more than you can Expect.
So, the Holy Ghost Service of August 2023 is going to be on the 11th of August 2023 instead of the 4th of August 2023!
Then Please Advertise the RCCG Annual Convention 2023 very well.
Tell your friends, Neighbours, Colleagues and even your Enemies.
You can be rest assured that when your invite and bring your Enemies, the Lord will touch them and they won’t be your Enemies again.
So, Call them, Text them, WhatsApp them, Put it on your Facebook.
Then like I used to tell my children in America – Twitter them, Blogger them, Uplink them, do whatever you can do and just ensure that you download them down to the Redemption Camp for The RCCG Annual Convention 2023.
Genesis 17:1 – And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou Perfect.
The first time God introduced Himself to Man was in Genesis 17:1 and He said, “I am Jehovah El-Shaddai – The God who is More Than Enough”.
According to Bible Scholars (those who know the Bible very well), they said that what God said was: I am God, your Mother’s breast. That if you as a child can suck the milk in your mother dry, it is only then you can exhaust Me. I am the inexhaustible God. There is Nothing you want from Me that is not there.
A woman can give birth to four (4) children.
We heard the Testimony of one in our Meeting just a week ago (DMC NOTES: During the Year 2023 Day Out With The God of Daddy GO for Western Zone Nigeria) – She gave birth to four (4). If you see the lady, she wasn’t very big, but the four (4) children would suck breasts until they are tired and there would still be breast milk flowing.
The All-Sufficient One! – Sufficient for you, Sufficient for me, Sufficient for all your Neighbours, Sufficient for all Christians all over the world.
He is the All-Sufficient God!
And I am so Grateful to God as I listened to the Testimonies of tonight – I saw clearly that He was Preparing us for something Extraordinary.
Every Miracle is Special but the Testimonies of tonight are Extra-Special.
You see, many atimes, when you listen to some of these Testimonies, you need to put yourself into the situation – Imagine a Relation of yours bleeding through the nose, bleeding through the mouth, bleeding through the ears, bleeding through the eyes. How would you feel?
And yet there is a God, my God who can pick that situation and today we see the Fellow Healthy and Strong!
Imagine you were one of those People kidnapped and they took their cutlass – Their cutlass is not blunt, their cutlass is sharp! And they brought it down on your leg. You were expecting blood to begin to flow (that is if the bone is not shattered) and you look down…
I mean, when your Kidnappers begin to beg you to Pray for them. Does it not remind you of what happened in Egypt when Pharaoh said to the children of Israel: “Please go quickly and bless me also?”
There is a God in Heaven!
And very, very soon, all your Enemies would come and bow down to you – Amen.
I shared a Testimony with my children (The Disciples) yesterday – You can get the Full Text of this Message Only on the Label of DMC. Check all our Social Media Handles and Website!
I saw it on the Internet; that there was this Soldier who is a Christian and won’t keep his mouth shut. He was always talking about Jesus, and so the others were always bullying him. And one day, they decided to disgrace him.
And they were gathered together and the Leader of the Group Commanded the Christian Soldier, “I want you to drive this car from here to there and park it.” And the boy said, I’m sorry Sir, I don’t know how to drive. “I say, I Command you, take the key!” And the boy took the key, entered into the car because when he said, “I can’t drive” the Commander said, “ask your Jesus to help you now”.
The boy got into the car and drove the car Perfectly and Parked it where they said it should be Parked. Then he came out of the car. And he saw all the Soldiers weeping, he saw their Leader trembling, removed his cap. And the boy was wondering: “What’s going on?”
And the Leader of the Group went to the car, opened its bonnet – Because there is no Engine in the car!
That’s my God, you know – Yes!
I believe God wants me to tell you some of these Stories so that before this Night is out, you will know who is called Jehovah El-Shaddai – Amen.
I told the Pastors at the Prayer Room, the Testimony – You know, a day is coming when we will have Holy Ghost Service and all we will do will just be Testimonies.
Will that be alright? – Yes, Sir!
I won’t tell you all the details (because this is being aired all over the world); but we have a Church somewhere where a Church is not supposed to be, in one of these Nations. And the Pastor there contacted me Months ago.
He said, Daddy Please Pray for us – There is this woman in our little Church. Tthe Doctors have told her she has no womb: so there is no way she can ever have a child. But we believe that if you Pray God will do it”.
So I Prayed! And yesterday I got a call from him; Daddy, we are all weeping for Joy here, because the woman without a Womb is now Pregnant!
I hereby decree, in the Name that’s above every other name – Everything that is missing in your body shall come back (Amen).
You know, when I was Younger (because I am still Young); we have these People who come to our Village selling Medicine – They call them, “Fine Medicine.”
Some of the old People will know them. And they come and sell us anything; we don’t know which is which.
So one day they came; I think that was when Capsules had just been introduced. And they were telling us, finally, we have a Medicine that can cure every Sickness – The same Medicine for headache, for stomach ache: One Tablet cures all.
That’s what they say – Of course we came to discovered later on, they were just deceiving us.
But do you know; Medicine has been searching that one day they will find a drug that can cure all Sicknesses – Won’t that be wonderful?
If they can just find one drug that could be good for headache, good for stomach ache, good for asthma, good for cancer – Will that not be Wonderful?
But I have Good News for you – We already have that Tablet. What’s His Name? JESUS!
Call that Name again – JESUS.
PHYSICALLY:
He is Sufficient for one (1) Person – That’s you!
In John 5:2-9, the Bible tells us, a Man has been sick for Thirty eight (38) years. Jesus came in, He didn’t touch him, He just spoke and the Sickness of Thirty eight (38) years ended.
It doesn’t matter how long you have been sick; in the Name that’s above every other name, tonight you will be healed – Amen.
But then, Jesus healed him and left the Place. What about all the others?
Well, in Matthew 8:14-17; the Bible tells us how Jesus entered into Peter’s house and saw the mother-in-law sick of fever and healed her and News spread! And so the People around began to bring their sick People, and every one of them was healed.
You know, I have a feeling within me, and I believe that there might be one (1) or two (2) People who would share the feelings that, this is a Night like that Night – Amen.
That everybody here or reading now on the Label of DMC must be Healed – Amen.
He is Sufficient for one (1), but He is also Sufficient for All. And He can heal just by Speaking.
The Bible says, He sent His Word and He Healed them”.
He can heal by Touching – And He said clearly in Mark 16:17-18! that His Disciples can continue to do the same thing for Him.”You shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover!”
And I am going to ask you to do something you have Probably not done before – something Special on this very Special Night.
And for you to understand, I will remind you of a Story – The first time I went to Zambia; that is almost thirty (30) years ago.
I got there, I ate something very different from what I’m used to eating, so my Stomach got angry and I began to go to the Toilet in the Night. I think when it was about the twenty-fourth (24th) time that I have been to the Toilet; suddenly I remembered that it is written…
If the Pastor is sick, he could run to the General Overseer. To whom will the General Overseer run? God!
Then I remembered it is written, you shall lay hands on the sick and he shall recover – He didn’t say who the sick would be. I am the sick one now and this is my hand. So I laid the hand on my head and I said: In the Mighty Name Of Jesus, stomach obey God. It is written, I will eat any deadly thing, it won’t hurt me. And the stooling stopped!
I told you that because I want you to lay your own hand on your own head now and Decree and say: In the Mighty Name of Jesus, everything in my body that should not be there, get out now!
Say it loud and clear let God hear you – Decree it, lay your own hand on your own head and say: In the Mighty Name of Jesus, body hear the Word of God, be made Whole now!
He is Sufficient for one (1), He is sufficient for All. He can heal by Touching, He can heal by Speaking, He can heal through His Dress, He can heal through the Anointed handkerchief of His Servants.
And you have heard several Testimonies along that line.
He can heal through Shadow – Because in Acts 5:14-16, the Bible tells us, the Shadow of Peter was healing the sick.
By whatever method, you will receive your Healing Balm tonight – Amen.
MATERIALLY:
He is Sufficient for one (1).
In 1 Kings 17:8-16, He was Sufficient for the Widow of Zarephath.
That woman had one Meal left, God stepped in; and for almost three (3) years she kept on having food every day.
But He is not just Sufficient for one (1), He is sufficient for All.
In John 6:5-13, He fed five thousand (5,000) Men – Not counting children; with five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fishes. And there were twelve (12) Baskets leftovers.
… Everybody ate and everybody was full.
I have a feeling within me that God has arranged tonight’s Meeting Specifically so that all of us who are connected with us in one way or the other or reading now on the Label of DMC, in a way we cannot explain, all our Financial Problems will be Solved – Amen.
SPIRITUALLY:
He is Sufficient to deliver one (1) Person.
If that Fellow has only one (1) demon, as in Mark 1:23-27. He’ll just speaks a Word and the demons would be gone.
If the Fellow has as many as seven (7) demons – According to Luke 8:1-3, God is Sufficient. Because Mary Magdalene had not just one (1) but seven of them; and God was Sufficient for the seven (7).
If a man has a Legion – As you know very well, in Mark 5:2-20; the Madman of Gadara, he had a Legion. And my God was still Sufficient for all of them.
But He is not just Sufficient for one (1) Person, He is Sufficient for even a Whole City.
In Acts 8:5-8, Philip went to the City of Samaria and flushed out every Demon there.
I have Good News for Someone here today or reading mow on the Label of DMC; because of you, every demons in your Village will be cleared out – Amen.
AND THEN HE CAN EMPOWER:
He can give Spiritual Power to just one (1) Person.
In Acts 9:1-22, He empowered Saul of Tarsus, after He knocked him down on the road to Damascus.
But He can also empower as many People as are Present.
In Acts 2:1-4, everyone Present in the Upper Room got the Power of the Holy Ghost, the same day, the same time.
A young man met me and said, Daddy, I want the kind of Power God has given you: Do you think He can give it to me? I said, why not? He is Sufficient for one (1) and He is Sufficient for All.
Is anybody hungry for Power here tonight? (Yes, DMC FAMILY MEMBERS). My God will empower you – Amen.
HE IS SUFFICIENT TO STILL ANY STORM.
Whether by Sea, in Mark 4:35-41; He spoke a Word “Peace be still” – and the waves became quiet.
Thank You Father!
The Lord says there is for somebody here tonight, or reading now on the Label of DMC:
He said the one who is Ordained to bring about your Promotion will have a Special Dream tonight – Amen.
But there are Storms that are not Storms on the Ocean – There are Storms of Life.
In Numbers 6:1-35, when all of a sudden a lot of People ganged up against Moses and began to Challenge his Authority, and began to speak all manner of rubbish against him. God stepped on the scene, and in just one moment, all the Enemies were swallowed alive.
You don’t know what is a Storm until somebody lies against you and he says, “I Stand by what I said” – and you have no way of Proving that it is wrong.
I Pray that you will never experience that type of Storm – Amen.
I mean, consider you a Young boy and all of a sudden a girl comes and say, “I am Pregnant for you.” Me? Where did I meet you? And she insisted, “you are the one who did it.” And everybody will be saying: Are you the only boy in town? How come she came to you alone?
And you keep saying, “but it’s not me! Where is your Witness?” And the girl says, what kind of Witness are we talking about? Do you invite a Witness in that kind of situation?
If there is any gang up of People against you, in the Name that’s above every other name, God will take care of them – Amen.
He can still a Storm that comes in the Air:
In Psalms 91:5, the Bible says you don’t have to be afraid of you terror by Night or arrows that fly by day.
Oh, Storms can come in the Air.
I’ll remind you of the Story of a Man who came years ago with his wife. He said, “I am sorry Sir, I’ve discovered that my wife is a Witch who is troubling me and I want you to help me”.
I asked Sister, is it true? She said, don’t mind him, it is his mother who is a Witch, not me.
And I was much Younger then – Sp I said, well Sister, I agree with you. I won’t mind him. Let us reach an Agreement: Let me Pray for you; if he is lying against you everything you just do will keep on Prospering. But if it is the Truth, I will decree that the demon in you be bound.
And since you say there is no demon, then there is no Problem. But you need to know because the man had said, “I have sensed the demon, it is a snake.” If I say let the snake be bound, the snake won’t be able to go out to hunt. So it will be eating what is inside and be defecating inside.
She asked me to Pray and I said, okay!
So we Prayed! And when her husband brought her back weeks later, she had become about three (3) times her Normal size: because the demon had been depositing all kinds of rubbish in her.
Anyone who has been using any form of evil force to slow you down; if they don’t repent, I decree that all their evil forces be bound – Amen.
Thank You Father!
Some of you would remember the Story of a boy whose Parents are Professors at University of Ibadan but the boy was so dull. You can imagine, the father a Professor, the mother a Professor but the boy?
He was always at the bottom of the Class. And moving from a class of twenty five (25) to a Class of thirty (30), his Position would move from twenty-fifth (25th) to thirtieth (30th).
And then the Parents got Born Again, and brought the boy; and we Prayed a Simple Prayer for the boy and God intervened.
In the next Examination, the boy took first (1st).
The Teachers said it is not Possible. They said even if they gave him the Answers to copy, he will copy it wrongly. So they gave him another exam and he scored higher.
So he became a Surprise to his Lecturers.
I told you the Story because God said: There is someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; that from now, your Academic Performance will Surprise your Teachers – Amen!
HE IS SUFFICIENT TO GIVE JOY:
He can give Joy to one (1) Person and make that Joy so big that others would share.
Like in Genesis 21:1-7, Sarah said: “God has made me Laugh, and all those who hear would Laugh with me.
That would be the Testimony of somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen.
But God can give Joy to a Whole Nation. He is Sufficient to do that.
In Exodus 15:1-20, it was a whole Nation singing, dancing after God has put an end to their Problems.
How many of you will say ‘Amen’ if I should say that Nigeria will never know sorrow again?” (The DMC FAMILY) – Amen!
… That Amen is not loud enough – Amen!
And for those of you in other Nations, I also want to decree in the Name that’s above every other name: God will give Joy to your Nations – Amen.
But now, because of time (I want you to spend some time in Prayers): let’s get a bit Personal.
Thank You Father!
I’m sure you know the Story of David and Goliath – We all know the Story.
But many of us don’t pay attention to something David did – You know, when he got to the brook, the Bible said he took five (5) “Smooth Stones’.
He was going to fight Goliath but he took five (5) “Smooth Stones”.
It is later on as you Study the Bible further that you would discover that Goliath had four (4) brothers.
David didn’t know, but he just took five (5) Stones – Guided by the Holy Spirit. One (1) Stone for Goliath, four (4) Stones for his brothers.
The Lord asked me to tell you (Somebody in Particular) or a Reader on the Label of DMC – He said He will take care of your Goliath; and He will take care of all his allies (Amen).
My Daddy asked me to say this one:
That one day Somebody is going to Stand here to Testify that five (5) People died in a row in their family.
And then they will remember that God said: “I will take care of your Goliath and all his allies” – Amen.
GOD IS SUFFICIENT FOR MY PAST
We discussed that one during the Holy Communion yesterday – You can read the full Text of that Message on the Label of DMC.
1 John 1:7, says the Blood of Jesus Cleanses from all sin.
That’s why the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any Man be in Christ, he is a New Creature: Old Things are Passed away; behold, all Things are become New.
In 2 Corinthians 7:2, Paul said, “I have wronged no man.”
Paul said, I have never done wrong to any Man. The first time I read it I said, Paul, you lied! You were the Chairman the day they were stoning Stephen – If I don’t know of any other one, I know that.
But then the Lord spoke to me, “the one who was Chairman when they were stoning Stephen died on the road to Damascus; the man who got up from the ground was a Brand New Creature.”
Everything you have ever done in the Past, if the devil tries to remind you, tell him, “my God has taken care of all – Amen.
He is Sufficient for everything evil that I did before I met the Lord Jesus.
God made a Promise in Jeremiah 31:34 – He said, not only will I forgive; He said, I will not even remember your sins again. “Their sins will I remember no more.”
This one is my own – Amen!
The Lord says, there is Someone who is expecting one (1) Open Door.
He asked me to tell you: Before the end of the Year (2023), I will open Seven (7) – Amen.
So you can begin to count them – Maybe when they are seven (7) you will come and Testify.
I know it’s a Special Night!
Daddy asked me to remind you of the Story of one of my daughters – Her boss in her Place of work was harassing her because she refused to Compromise. So he told her, “there will be no Promotion for you as long as I am here.”
And then we Prayed a Simple Prayer; and God got the boss transferred to another Section of the Company. And my daughter was Promoted to the Position he vacated.
As soon as my daughter settled down, they brought the former boss back – So they were now on equal level.
Well, the Lord asked me to tell someone that Story – He said: “I am going to put you in a Place where no man would ever be able to harass you again” – Amen.
Maybe one of these days (if I remember) I will tell you a Story:
But all that God wants me to tell you now is that there is Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC, who has just lost a very big Opportunity.
And the Lord asked me to tell you in a Parable that: “You missed the Train so that you will not miss the Plane” – Amen.
When the time comes, you will understand!
No matter how fast the Train can move, it can only move on Land. The Plane can fly!
It’s a Joy if you miss The Train so that you don’t miss the Plane – Amen.
Now, God is not only Sufficient in my Past – as we learnt yesterday during the Holy Communion;
HE IS ALSO SUFFICIENT FOR MY PRESENT.
Psalms 23:1-6 tells you everything you Need on a Daily basis that God will Supply:
First of all He gives you food to eat.
He gives you water to drink.
He gives you adequate sleep.
He Protects you from all manner of animals (wild animals) et cetera.
He Prepares a Table before you in the Presence of your Enemies.
He Pours Anointing on your head until it Overflows.
He sees to it that surely Goodness and Mercy Shall follow me (for how long)? All the Days of my Life!
Oh! My God, Thank You!
… I like this one that is why I Laughed.
The Lord said there is Someone here, or reading now on the Label of DMC – He said: All Human Sciences are saying to you, “it is too late”.
Daddy asked me to tell you, “I will defeat all Sciences with a Wonder – Amen.
Oh My Father, You are Good!
The Lord asked me to tell Someone Inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: Jonah spent three (3) Nights in Total Darkness; but he was still brought out into the Light and still fulfilled Destiny.
He asked me to tell you: Your third (3rd) Night is Tonight! You will still fulfill Destiny – Amen.
GOD IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOUR FUTURE.
The Lord is Sufficient For your Past, He Sufficient for your Present, and Sufficient for your Future.
Because He is not only Alpha but He is also Omega – Revelation 1:8.
And the Bible says, like we learnt also yesterday – Colossians 1:27 made it clear: Christ in you, the Hope of Glory.
As the Lord lives, if you are a True child of the Living God, you are not going to end in Shame – Amen.
I am going to give you a little Case Study before I Close. And that will be the Case of one fellow called “Esau.”
You know, before Esau was born – According to Romans 9:10-16, God had said, “I hate Esau.”
He wasn’t born yet; he hasn’t even done anything right or wrong. He said, “Esau would serve his Younger brother.” – Poor Esau!
And you know in Genesis 47:1-40, when it was time for Esau to be blessed, he wasn’t around on time. But God is still so good; that this boy who got just a remnant of Blessing was so blessed!
When you read Genesis 32:1-7, when the one who got the big Blessing was coming and the one who got the little Blessing was coming to meet him; it was the one who got the big blessing who was trembling.
Our God is so Great that if what you get Tonight is a Crumb of Blessing, your Life can still be amazingly Glorious – Amen.
But I want to assure you, you are not going to get a Crumb because Crumbs are meant for dogs – Amen.
In Matthew 15:21-28, when that woman came to Jesus Christ and said: help, my daughter is grievously vexed of the devil. Jesus said, I can’t give the bread of children to dogs.
The woman said, yes Sir, I agree, I am a dog. But a dog can at least get a Crumb that fell down from the child’s table.
She got a Crumb and the Crumb solved her Problem.
Tonight, in the Name that’s above every other name: you will get a whole loaf of bread – Amen.
Why? Because He is more than Enough!
A Crumb from Him can Perform Wonders. So you can then imagine what a real loaf can give!
This one is mine again, but I will just Share it with you (and I am about to Close):
I told you that years ago, I went to the East (DMC NOTES: Eastern Part of Nigeria).
As I was returning and I got to Asaba (Delta State of Nigeria) and I was Standing there waving every car to see if they would give me a lift to Lagos;
And if you are looking for a lift; you are looking for ‘Kabu-kabu’ (DMC NOTES: “Kabu-Kabu” means: An informal Term used for a Taxi Cab that Plies Designated Routes) – So you look for a car that looks as if the owner wants to make some “Quick Money” by giving you a lift and Charging you.
So all the old cars that I saw, I waved them down but none of them stopped.
Then I saw this Brand New Mercedes Benz Car 280 – It was coming; and when I saw how Brand New it is, I didn’t bother to wave because this Person is not going to pick up anybody.
But I just raised my hand and I didn’t quite wave; and the car passed by. And all of a sudden he stopped and reversed to where I was Standing.
And he said, you need a lift? I said, yes Sir! “Where are you going?” I said, Lagos.
He said, come in. And you know, I was Standing by the roadside, he was at the driver’s seat. When I entered, I sat at the ‘owner’s corner’ and there was somebody with him in the front.
… By the way, they were talking, they were speaking American English.
I remembered telling you that Story to you once before.
When God asked me to Prophesy to somebody that – All the Miracles that have Passed by you, will reverse back – Amen!
But that’s not even the Prophecy for tonight).
I was sitting down in the air-conditioned car. I mean, I enjoyed myself all the way to Lagos.
So we got to Palm Groove (in Lagos State) and the man branched to refuel at one Petrol Station.
And he said to me, sorry Sir, give me some one (1) minute, I want to refuel.
I said, thank you Sir, we are already in Lagos. I will take a taxi from here to my house.
He said, No! Where do you live? I said, Surulere ,(In Lagos State Nigeria).
He said, just give me few Minutes, I will take you all the way home!
My Daddy asked me to tell Someone here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC: I will help you all the way – Amen!
Oh, if you are the one, spend a Minute or two (2) Minutes Thanking God.
Say: Lord, I Thank You. I know You will help me all the way, I Thank You.
If that’s the only thing I have heard tonight, that is enough for me, Lord. Thank You Lord. May your Name be Glorified!
God is All-Sufficient – There is something that happened in the Story of Esau and Jacob that I believe is very Significant for us tonight, because this is a very Special Night.
In Genesis 32:1-7, like I said earlier on: Jacob heard that Esau was coming to meet him with four hundred (400) men, he was shattered. “The man I cheated, the man who Promised that when my father dies, I will die also; is coming with four hundred (400) Bodyguards.” He was afraid.
But God is More Than Enough – He did not just bless Jacob, he made sure that his Destiny was not truncated.
He knew that Esau was coming to kill so God arranged a Prayer Session for Jacob.
In Genesis 32:24-30, the Bible tells us an Angel can kill thousands of Soldiers in one Night. And it is that Angel now that is wrestling with Jacob and Jacob Prevailed!
So you can see drama there.
And the Angel dislocated his thighs and the boy was still wrestling. The Angel said, let me go! And Jacob said, “I won’t let you go”.
He could have dislocated his head. But because God is All-Sufficient; because God wanted an excuse. So, by the time it was the following Morning, the One who came to kill will now come to embrace – He arranged a Night of Prayer.
I believe God has arranged Tonight to be a Night of Prayer – A Night when we are going to wrestle with the All-Sufficient God. so that by tomorrow morning, every Enemy will become our friend (Amen).
And instead of our Destiny being truncated, our Destiny will become fulfilled and every Enemy will become a friend – Amen
And so when it is time to Pray tonight, I want you to remember one song we used to sing as younger Christians:
SONG:
I won’t let go, I won’t let go; I have Jesus, I won’t let go.
… How many of you know that Song? Hey! Not many Old People here tonight.
Tonight, we are not going to let Jesus go – We are going to wrestle until we have a Breakthrough.
How many of you are Trusting God for a Breakthrough? (The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS)!
By the time the Sun rises tomorrow, you will be Singing a New Song – Amen!
But before we Pray – Like I told you, Bread is for children, only Crumbs are for dogs.
And there are only two (2) Categories of People in the world – As long as God is concerned, you are either a Child of God or you are a dog. You are either Born Again or you are a dog. I am not the one who says so; it’s the Bible!
ALTAR CALL
So if you are not yet a Child of God; you have not left the Category of dogs, come quickly now so that I can join my Faith with yours and we can cry to God for your Salvation.
He is Sufficient enough to Change even dogs to children. And all you need to do is to come to Him, He will save your Soul, you will become His Children and you will not be dealing with Crumbs anymore but the full loaf of Bread.
So if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; you want to become a Child of God come now!
Okay: Cry to Jesus Christ, say Lord have Mercy on me, save my Soul, be my Lord and Saviour. Forgive all my sins, and I will serve You for the rest of my Life. I want You to take me into Your Family; I want to be a Child of God. Please Lord save my Soul tonight.
And the rest of us, Please let’s Stretch our hands to all these our New Brothers and Sisters and intercede for them – Pray that the One Who saved our Souls would save their own Souls also.
Let’s go ahead and Pray for them – Intercede for each and everyone of them. Pray that God would give them Genuine Salvation. That from now on, they would become Members of the Family of God. Please, intercede for them!
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 tonight.
Thank You for all these People who have decided that they want to Surrender their lives to You.
Please, receive them, forgive all their sins, let Your Blood wash away their sins. Save their Souls Lord. Write their names in the Book of Life.
And I Pray that from now on my Father and my God, anytime they call unto You, You will answer them by Fire.
Please, don’t let them Backslide!
And everything that is due to a Child of God, begin to make available to them.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah.
Now, those of you who have Genuinely Surrendered your Life to Jesus, I want to rejoice with you. Because from now on by God’s Grace, I would be Praying for you.
So, I need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests. God Bless You (Amen).

Very, very Special People – They know a bit more about Jesus Christ; they know a little more about Satan – That we don’t teach from the Altar. And they know more about their Weapons of Warfare.

Ancient of Days, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we Worship You. Please, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name!
Tonight my Father and my God, all Your Disciples are asking that You lay Your Mighty Hands on the Engineers, that they would never disturb us again when we are Preaching.
And grant all the Requests of Your Children.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: Good Evening, God Bless You!
Mark 3:13-15:
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
The Bible tells us that God knows the end from the Beginning.
According to Acts 15:18, the Bible says; Known unto God are all His works from the Beginning of the world.
The Almighty God knew at a time when we were very small that The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) would grow. And that, to handle the growth, we are not going to need “Ordinary Christians” – We are going to need Disciples.
According to 2 Timothy 2:14, the Bible says He has Called some People to be Soldiers.
The Almighty God knew before the Foundation of the Earth that we are going to need “Commandos” to be able to handle the Growth that is going to happen in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – He knew!
He knew, so that way back in 1985 He told us that a time would come when we would give an Altar Call and Disciples would be on their feet for hours – Counseling, Laying hands on People for Healing, and Casting out Demons.
God said so, way back in 1985.
And there are People who are here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC, who were here then at the beginning.
He knew there would People who would follow His Examples “Regimentally” – That was the Language He used at that time.
In 1 John 3:16; we learnt that we are to follow His Examples to such an extent that, as He laid down His Life for the Brethrens, we would be willing to lay down our lives also.
So, as Disciples, we were Called for a Purpose:
WE WERE CALLED TO SERVE.
According to Mark 10:42-46, we learnt then that, even as Jesus Christ did not come to be Ministered unto but to Minister; we Disciples are also Called to Minister to People, not to expect to be Ministered unto.
We learnt at the beginning, according to Acts 28:1-10, that it was an Apostle that went to fetch firewood: when there was a Shipwreck in the Island of Melita and they needed wood to keep the fire going – It was Apostle Paul who went to fetch firewood.
We learnt that after the Miracle that happened – As he put the wood in the fire and a serpent came, fastened its teeth on Apostle Paul, he shook it off! The serpent died and nothing happened to him. They began to bring Sick People to him and he was Healing them.
We learnt that the hands that cannot do “Manual Labour” cannot Perform Miracles.
… These were things we learnt at the beginning of the School of Disciples (SOD).
In those days, when (for example) we had Convention, it’s we Disciples who went to the jungle around here to fetch firewood for the Convention – In those days we had no Gas Cookers.
We Disciples washed Plates. And after People had eaten, we ate last!
When we come once a Month for Disciples’ Meeting we would arrive on Friday – Study the Scriptures and then at Night, we would break and do something that needed to be done.
And then the following Morning, we cut grass and sweep the Dormitories. The Dormitories were not so many. We cut grass!
We Prided ourselves then on how clean we can make the Toilet; how clean we can make the Camp; how low we cut grass. And we used a term then when we want to talk about how clean something is. The answer is: “It is Disciple Clean.”
You know the meaning of that?
It means when a Disciple had finished cleaning the Toilet, you can sit down there and eat. It would be that clean!
We called it “Disciple Clean.”
HE CHOSE THEM THAT THEY MIGHT BE WITH HIM.
We Prayed like Disciples – We never Prayed for less than one (1) hour at a time while we Prayed.
Why? Because in Mark 3:13-15 (that I read to you); one of the reasons He called Disciples is that they might be with Him.
And He said to them in Matthew 26:36-41 – You can’t even Watch with me for one (1) hour?
We never Prayed for less than one (1) hour – And I am telling you, we Prayed fire down.
At the time the School of Disciples (SOD) started, there was a Denomination (I won’t mention names) that was spreading like wildfire. And the Leader of the Organization was definitely Occultic. He told People that his Power come from sleeping with women. He boasted that he had (at that time) Thirty four (34) wives. That his Power was increasing.
We knew this cannot be God because God said: A Deacon must be a husband of one (1) wife.
So, if the number of your wife keeps increasing, and your Power is Proportionately increasing; we knew this can’t be God. And yet, thousands were rushing to him!
We met as Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ: and we Prayed that every Plant God has not Planted be Uprooted.
As it happened, that same man was travelling along this Expressway (while we were Praying). He didn’t reach home!
I am not saying it is our Prayer, that killed him – That seemed to be a coincidence.
We were few then.
If we find out now, the number of those who have already gone through the School of Disciples’ Curriculum, only God knows how many thousands. And yet the devil seems to be roaming about doing what he wants.
And you are here – Disciples of the Most High; because you can’t even Pray for six (6) minutes now before checking your watch.
When we Prayed for one (1) hour in those days, unless there is something very urgent; Nobody would even think of stopping us.
In any case, we were too far gone to even hear you trying to stop is.
How many Disciples of Jesus Christ are here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC?
If you are one of them, let me hear you say Amen – Amen.
… And you think that kind of Amen would kill the devil? Amen!!!
… He chose them that they would be with Him.
We learnt at that time that a day would come, that when we call a Meeting of Disciples, the Nation would be shaking. Because they would be wondering, what’s about to happen?
Unfortunately, for one reason or the other, because it became Compulsory: “if you want to be Ordained as a Pastor, you must have gone through the School of Disciples” – The School of Disciples became Academic.
Oh, I understand some People can even do it in Months.
We did it in ten (10) years – We came every Month for ten (10) years and we enjoyed every bit of it.
If all those who have gone through the School of Disciples (SOD) were to be here tonight, this Auditorium won’t contain us.
But Thank God, He does not save by numbers.
I believed there are a lot of you here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC; God will use you to Change the Story of the world – Amen!
… I know the Amen would sound Sleepy – Amen!
It was in those days when we learnt how to be a Disciple – Who is your Enemy? The Weapons of our Warfare.
But some of us went through the Fire of the Holy Spirit.
Those were the days when we learnt that we must never turn our back to the Enemy.
We learnt that in the Weapons of our Warfare, there is Nothing for our back.
And God Produced “Genuine Disciples” for Himself. And some of them still remain.
HE CHOSE THEM TO GO WHERE HE WOULD SEND THEM.
You have Probably heard of one Disciple who was Pastoring somewhere in the North in Nigeria.
His wife just gave birth to a set of twins; Boko Haram came into the house when he was out.
Because all other Gospel Churches fled from that Particular Part of the Country at that time. But we refused to flee, because we believed that it is Darkness that would run from Light.
And they came, they could not find the Pastor. But they found the wife with the set of twins.
And they said, “alright we can’t find the Pastor, we would give him something to know we came” – They Slaughtered the twins. They cut their throats.
When I heard about it, of course I sent for him and the wife.
I said my son, you’ve Paid your Dues.
Because in those days we looked forward to a day when we would face Paul in Heaven. And when he is telling us about how many times he was beaten by the rod, showing us his scars; That we too would be able to tell Paul, “Sir, you suffered for Christ, we did too.” – And then show him some of our scars.
And so I said to him – Son, at least you already have something on your Curriculum Vitae (CV) now. When we get to Heaven, you will be able to tell Paul, “I too went through something for Christ.”
I said come back South (Nigeria) now.
So you know what he said to me? – Daddy,, you are the one who taught us that we must never turn our back to the Enemy. I am not leaving, I am staying. I will show these People, “I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ.”
That’s just one (1) Example!
The School of Disciples (SOD) Produced People who went to Places like Libya, Iraq, etc.
We want to go to where Angels feared to tread. We were Commandos for God.
I don’t want to tell you about my own, because if I begin to tell you some of the Places we have gone, you would say, “but you are the General Overseer.”
I want to tell you about what happened when we went to Congo. When we wanted to go to Congo and they told us “No Sir, we can’t go because there is war going on there.” We said, that’s the reason we want to go!
I don’t want to tell you how many times we have faced death on Journeys – No, it doesn’t matter!
I don’t want to tell you when we had to go on a Journey and they told us, “they are rioting on the way; the ways are blocked.”
I said, congratulations! That’s Good News.
I just want to tell you about a Disciple who went to one of these Foreign Counties and was arrested for being a Christian; imprisoned, until by the Grace of God we bailed him out of Prison.
And we said, come back home and rest. He said, I am home, I have rested for about two (2) Months. I am ready to go back.
Yes, He chose them for a Purpose:
To be with Him.
To go wherever He would send them; because He knew He won’t be able to finish the work alone. And He had to go back to Heaven.
BUT HE ALSO SAID, “I WILL EMPOWER YOU.”
Is God a liar? – No!
When He says He will do something, do you think He would do it? – Yes!
Why are so many Disciples Powerless?
Because, “before I will empower you” comes: you will be with me, you will go wherever I send you, and then I will Supply the Power.
You know something tells me that – This Year’s Convention is going to be different – Amen.
Something tells me that out of this Year’s Conference, the Almighty God Himself would Produce “Genuine Disciples” – Amen.
Disciples who are ready to suffer for Christ (if need be); Disciples who would be willing to go wherever they are -sent; and Disciples who would have Power- Amen.
There are Testimonies that I can’t share with you; because if I share some of them Nobody would believe anyway.
Let me tell you – There is still a God on His Throne who can do all manners of thing (Amen).
I saw something Online a couple of days ago – You can check and you might find it there.
It tells the Story of a Soldier who was a Christian, and everybody in the Regiment made fun of him – They bullied him.
And one day the Commander said to him, “I want you to take this car from here and Park it at such and such a Place.”
And the Soldier said “Sir, I don’t know how to drive.” The Commander said, “you don’t know how to drive? Why don’t you ask your Jesus to help you?” Hurry up man, drive this car to that Place!
So he took the keys, entered into the car (he has never driven a car before) and drove the car Perfectly to where the Commander asked him to Park it.
And when he came out of the car he saw all the other Soldiers weeping. “Why are you all weeping?”
He saw the Commander trembling and taking off his hat, and going to the car, opened the hood because there was no engine in the car. Hallelujah!
That’s the God that has Called you to be His Disciples.
Yes, that’s my God – He is supposed to be your God also.
God can do anything.
That’s my God – That’s Whose Disciple I am.
I’ll tell you just one (1) more Story and then it would be time for you to Pray.
But don’t Pray tonight, unless you want to be a “True Disciple” of Jesus Christ.
Some of you have heard the Story before, so I am not making it up.
There was a time when the entire Camp is around the very First Auditorium – By the Expressway. Every other Places that you see now were Jungle.
But then, occasionally, some People would come to the Old Auditorium to Pray.
So when I want to Pray in the Night I would come out of my house and walk into the bush – Away from their noise.
So one night, I was walking in the bush, enjoying myself with my Father. And I have this torchlight with me – Modern torchlight with what they call Rechargable Batteries. You know, you can recharge the battery so it will keep going.
I didn’t know that the Charge in the battery had gone low. I just kept on walking, going farther and farther into the bush, having a nice time with my God. And all of a sudden the torchlight went out! And I was far into the Jungle – Only a footpath; no Light, everything black!
“Oh, how do I get back?”
Then I remembered that when I was in Primary School, our Teacher said: f you find yourself in total Darkness all of a sudden, close your eyes tight for two (2) Minutes. If you open your eyes after two (2) Minutes, your eyes would have adjusted to the Darkness so that you would be able to see faintly.
Okay, time to Practice what my Teacher taught us.
So I closed my eyes tight, after about two (2) Minutes I opened my eyes. And I was surrounded by Lights because all of a sudden overhead was a very big Moon, so I could see my way easily back to Civilization
… There was no Moon there!
As soon as I came out of the Jungle; turned to where there were few houses on the Camp; I looked up to say Thank You God and tell Him Thank You for the Moon – But the Moon had disappeared!
My Beloved children, Disciples of the Most High God, we are not talking Theory – We know what we know. He is a Faithful God.
If you are willing to “Spend” and be “Spent” for Him; He will Surprise you.
Stand on your feet!
And if you like tonight Pray like everybody. If you like, Pray like a Disciple.
Lift your voice to Him – If I ask you to Pray for one (1) hour, you may think that it’s too much.
I want you to know, there are People who always Pray on Thursday Night before the Holy Ghost Service.
They Pray from evening till 3am – Go and ask them.
At 3am when they are about to close, I go there to close with them.
So, I don’t push you to what I am not doing: And I want you to be Greater than I.
Lift your voice to the Most High God and say: Father; if You are looking for a Disciple, consider me as one.
Go ahead, cry to Him!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

MOSES DURODOLA, TITILAYOMI AJAYI AND TOPE BABALOLA
THEME: THE ALL-SUFFICIENT GOD (THE WONDERS OF HIS SUFFICIENCY)
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
DATE: 6TH JULY 2023
BIBLE TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 4:19
Let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
SONG
Our Father in Heaven We Glorify Your Holy Name We bow down before You.
OPENING PRAYER
Father Almighty, we Worship You. We can never Thank You enough for all You have done for us in the First Half of this Year (2023).
Thank You, Thank You because it is of Your Mercy that we are not Consumed; Thank You because You have renewed Your Mercy every Morning and that is why we are still here today.
Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
You are the All-Sufficient God, Please tonight meet all our Needs.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell them: My Blessings tonight will be Greater than yours.
And then you may Please be seated.
Philippians 4:19:
But my God shall Supply all your Needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
The one whose Amen is loud will get all the Supplies – Amen!
The Cross is Symbolic of all that is available to a Child of God!
Because, talking of the Hands of our Lord Jesus Christ – One Hand reaches to the Past and the Second Hand reaches to the Future because His Hands are Everlasting!
So, His Left Hand goes to the Past and the Right Hand goes to the Future!
I. The One that goes to the Past, goes all the way to your Past to put right everything that is wrong there.
That is why 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: If any Man be in Christ, He is a New Creature; Old Things has Passed away, behold all things has become New.
So everything that you have done in the Past – The lies you have told, the meat you stole from Mummy soup while she wasn’t looking; when you give your Life to Jesus Christ, the Past is taking care of.
II. Then the Right Hand goes into the Future – Looking at everything that is in the Future and where there is the Need to re-arrange things.
So that as the Bible says in Colossians 1:27 – You can say: Christ in me, the Hope of Glory.
So, let me start tonight or as you read now on the Label of DMC by saying: If there is anything in your Past that is disturbing your Present; it will go tonight – Amen!
If there is anything coming from your Future that can bring you Shame; God will remove it tonight – Amen!
III. And then He Himself now stands in the Middle – Left Hand to the Past, Right Hand to the Future and then He Himself Stands in the Middle.
The Middle represents your Present.
And the Bible says in Psalms 23:1, the Bible says: The Lord is my Shepherd.
We are not talking about “Was” my Shepherd – That is in the Past; we are not talking of about “Will be” my Shepherd – That is the Future.
But we are talking of “Now” – The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
In the Name that is above every other name; as long as Jesus Christ lives; whatever you need from Him right now, you will get it – Amen!
And when you read 1 Kings 19: 4-8 – It tells the Story of a Man of God called Elijah.
And he was the Lowest Point in his Life – He looked at himself and considered himself as a Total Failure. He was so sad that he said to God – Kill me as I want to die.
Then God did something very interesting – He fed him. Instead of killing him, He gave him food.
He told him: Take, Eat; because the Journey is still far.
Tonight, we are going to eat and it doesn’t matter how long the Journey of your Life is still waiting for you travel; the Bible says that in the Strength of the Meal; he travelled until he reach his Goal.
In the Name of the One who Called me; all of you who will Partake of the Meal of tonight, you will reach your Goal – Amen!
That is why the Bible says in Isaiah 3:10 – Say ye to Righteous, it shall be well with him.
Whether the devil likes it or not, it is going to be well with you – Amen
Whether your Enemies like it or not, it is going to be well with you – Amen.
As a matter of fact, He says: I will Prepare a Table before you in the Presence of your Enemies.
He says in His Words – He says: Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my Life.
… For how long? – All the days of my Life!
But the only condition – He says: Say ye to the Righteous.
Say ye to the Child of God, say ye to the One whose sins has been washed away that it shall be well with him.
That is why I don’t care what anybody may say concerning me or concerning my Future.
I know one thing for sure – My tomorrow is going to be alright.
What about your own? – The DMC Family Members Future is going to be alright.
But if you are not a Child of God, that does not apply to you.
But you can become a Child of God tonight – It is very Simple.
The Bible says that as many that will Call on the Name of the Lord, they shall be saved.
Jesus Christ is saying: Look, I am waiting for you – Come unto me all ye that Labour and are heavy ladened and I will give you rest.
So, it is up to you – Do you want to come to Jesus:
I. You want to Surrender your Life to Him.
II. You want to become one of the Children of God.
III. You want to be in the Family of God.
IV. You want your Past to be gone and your Future to be Glorious.
The Choice is yours!
ALTAR CALL
If you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, I will count from one (1) to four (4) – So, you better run forward now.
Before I say four (4), make sure that you are Standing before this Altar.
And then I will join my Faith with yours and we will Call on God to Please save your Soul and everything will become New.
So, I’m counting now!
So, those of you already infront – Cry to the Almighty God and say: Have Mercy on me, save my Soul, forgive all my sins and I will serve You for the rest of my Life. I don’t want to be on the Side of the devil anymore and I want to Cross Over to Your Side.
And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands towards these our Brothers and Sisters and intercede for them.
Let’s Pray that the One who saved our Souls will save their own Souls also.
Let’s go ahead and Pray for them.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Saviour, I want to Thank You for Your Words, I want to Thank You because You make Provisions for everything that we can ever need including the Salvation of our Souls.
And I’m Thanking You on behalf of those who came forward tonight to Surrender their lives to You.
Father, Please receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, Forgive them Lord and receive them into the Family of God.
From today onwards, whenever they Call on You; Please answer them by Fire and let their tomorrow be alright.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Those of you infront, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
Tonight, when you eat the Bread; you will just Thank God for all He has done for you in the Past till the Present moment.
When it is Time to drink the Wine, I will tell you how we are going to Pray!
One thing that I know is that – My God shall Supply all Your Needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
As soon as they serve you the Bread, and I give you the go ahead; you can go ahead and eat and then Pray as directed.
The Lord Jesus Christ; the very Night in which He was betrayed took the Bread and when He has given Thanks, He broke it saying: Take, Eat; this is my Body broken for you; do this in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
Go ahead, eat and bless the Lord who has given His Body for you.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
When you drink the Wine tonight; you are going to cry to the Almighty God – You are going to say: Father, Please Supply all my Needs according to Your Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus and do it tonight.
After the same manner also; He took the Cup when He has sup, saying: This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood, Please do ye as oft as you drink it in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen!
Please be seated and remain in an Attitude of Worship. Pass your cups to the aisles so that the Ushers can help us collect.
THANKSGIVING
And then take your Thanksgiving Offering.
We want to say Thank You to the Almighty God for giving us this Wonderful opportunity to dine with Him.
Once you are ready with your Offering, can you Stand on your feet and lift it up to the Almighty God and Pray.
And say: Father, it is written: Give and you shall be Given. I am Giving now Lord, let me be Given Abundantly.
Go ahead and cry to the Almighty God.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
So shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen!
And now, with Joy in your Heart – Knowing fully well that your Past is taking care of, your Future is Settled and Your Present is going to be Wonderful; dance to the nearest basket and drop your Offerings.
Over to you Band!
CLOSING PRAYER
The Almighty God will grant your Requests, all your Needs will be met and you will never Lack again.
He will receive the Offerings, He will bless it and He will use it for His Glory.
The One who Promised that if you sow, you will reap, will give back to you, a Hundred Folds.

Thank You Lord!
Let’s go ahead and Bless the Name of the Lord: Let’s give Him Glory and Honour because He is the Almighty God. There is Nothing He cannot do.
Thank You Lord! Glory be to Your Holy Name. Thank You Father. Thank You Lord.

OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God, the Owner of Heaven and Earth – All Power belongs to You!
We give You Glory because You are More Than Sufficient for every Problems.
You are More Than Sufficient for every Needs. And You know the End from the Beginning.
Father, accept our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.
In the lives of Your Children who are here today and all those reading now on the Label of DMC; Father, do what You alone can do.
Prove Yourself to be the Almighty; and we would give You all the Glory.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God Himself will surprise you – Amen.
… And then you may Please, be seated!
Genesis 1:26-28;
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth.
27 So God created man in His Own Image, in the Image of God He created them; Male and Female He created them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be Fruitful, and Multiply, and Replenish the Earth, and Subdue it: and have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the Earth. Amen!
When somebody thinks ahead, in English, we would say, “he is proactive.”
That means he sees a Problem before the Problem occurs; and makes Provision to meet that Problem.
But God is not just Proactive, He knows the end from the beginning.
Acts 15:18, Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. He knew the end from the beginning.
For Example, He knew that man must work and rest. He knew that every Human Being that has been working, at a Stage they would need to rest.
So, in Genesis 1:3-5, He arranged for Day and Night.
In John 9:4, Jesus Christ said the Night is coming when no man can work. He said, I must do the work of my Father while it is Day:
The Day is for working, while the Night is for Sleeping.
When you read Genesis 1:11-13, He made sure that every tree that He created had the ability to Produce Seed; and the Seed will Produce more trees. So He will never needed to create trees again. Never!
In Genesis 1:20-25, when He made sea creatures, fish, etc. Air creatures, birds of all types; land creatures, all manners of animals, cows, sheep, etc. He made sure that each animal He created had the ability to reproduce.
You would never find a barren cow, it is not Possible.
You would never find a barren Chicken, it is not Possible.
And when it comes to fish: Oh I mean, if you consider all these years that Fishermen have been fishing and the rivers and the oceans are still full of fish; you will know that God knows what He is doing.
He never wanted to recreate something. Once He had finished, He rested.
Then, He made a Man: When He was making man, the Bible says, Male and Female created He them.
And then He said, “Man, I have given you the ability; Woman, I have given you your own ability – To combine and Produce children.”
… That is why He said, be Fruitful and Multiply.
At the beginning, as soon as He made Man and Woman; just like He said to fish, birds, animals, etc, He decreed: “Man, Woman, be Fruitful and Multiply”. It is a Decree of God.
It is contrary to the Plan of God for anyone to be barren – It is Completely Contrary to the Plan of God.
That’s why when you go through the Scriptures, the only fellow who died barren was the wife of David. (DMC NOTES: Micah).
Why? Because she mocked David when he was Praising God.
… That’s the only fellow!
Even when Sarah was already ninety (90) years old, God said, “You are not going to die. You haven’t finished your job, you must Produce.”
When Elizabeth and Zachariah were old, God said, “You are not going to die. You haven’t finished your Assignments, you must Produce.”
And so I am telling somebody here listening to me this morning or reading now on the Label of DMC:
You are not going to die – Amen!
You will finish your Assignment – Amen.
Which means you have to be Fruitful; and you have to Multiply – Amen.
That’s why today we are going to Pray a very interesting Prayer.
But before we Pray that Prayer – Just in case there’s anybody here or reading now on the Label of DMC, who is not a Child of God.
Because if you are not a Child of God and you are crying to Him, you are wasting your time. He would say, “I don’t know you: and if you want to die barren, that’s your own headache.”
ALTAR CALL
So if there’s anyone here or reading now on the Label of DMC who is not yet Born Again; you are not a Child of God. Hurry Up, come forward. Come and give your Life to Jesus Christ.
Let’s Pray for your Salvation.
And Please, don’t waste our time – The rest of us, we want to Pray a Prayer that’s going to Change our lives forever.
So if you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC and you are not a Child of God; you have not given your Life to Jesus Christ, come now let’s settle the issue of your Salvation.
And then the rest of us, we are going to Pray this very Special Prayer this Morning.
Now those of you who are willing to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus, talk to the Almighty God – Ask Him to have Mercy on you. Ask Him to save your Soul. Ask Him to forgive all your sins. Promise Him that you would serve Him for the rest of your Life.
Go ahead Pray!
And the rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands to these People and intercede for them.
And Pray that God would save their Souls. That He would forgive all their sins and give them a Brand New Beginning.
Ask that God would receive them into the Family of God.
Go ahead let’s talk to God for them – Pray: Lord have Mercy on these Your People; forgive all their sins, receive them into the Family of God.
In the Family of God there’s no barrenness. Please Lord, have Mercy on them, forgive their sins, save their Souls.
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 for Your Word;
I want to Thank You for these Your Children who have come forward now, to Genuinely Surrender their lives to You.
Please receive them; Have Mercy on them. Save their Souls. Forgive all their sins.
And today, let them join the Family of God. So that when they cry unto You, You would answer them by Fire.
Thank You Almighty God! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed -Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah.
Okay, I rejoice with those of you who have just Genuinely Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ.
From now on by the Grace of God I would be Praying for you.
So I would need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.
God Bless You!
Now if we are clapping, let’s clap!
Amen! Thank You Lord.
Now, what is that Special Prayer we want to Pray this Morning?
We want to remind our Organs – The Male organ, the Womb of the Woman, we want to remind them, “God created you to Reproduce. God made you so that I can become Fruitful; so I can Multiply.”
We want to tell our Organs – Organ listen to the Word of God: The Decree of the Most High is that I must be Fruitful, I must Multiply. And so, you have to obey God.
Woman, lay your hands on your Womb and tell the Womb – Womb, hear the Word of God. You are to be Fruitful, you are to Multiply. You must obey your Maker.
Those of us who are husbands, we lay our hand on our Organ – Organ, Listen to the Word of God. The Maker of Heaven and Earth decreed that you are to be Fruitful, you are to Multiply. You must obey God.
That’s the Prayer we want to Pray this Morning – So I want you to come forward to the Altar and we are going to Pray together.
I would first of all lead you before the Almighty God in Prayer; and then you would Pray by yourself.
And when you are done Praying and you are satisfied, then you will drop your Offering and be on your way home
I am trusting God that everyone of us – Our Organs would hear the Word of God today, and they would respond, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Thank You Lord!
Now I want to Pray for you first. I want to open the door of Heaven on your Prayers. And I know the Almighty God would hear me; and He would hear you, too.
Thank You Father!
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, I want to Thank You because I know You are the Almighty God.
You know the end from the beginning; and once You speak, it is done. And whatever You Decree must Stand firm.
So I want to say Thank You on behalf of these Your Children. Father, today, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.
My Father and my God, I am Your son, I am Your servant and You sent me to these Your Children.
So in Your Name Lord, I decree today that all their Organs would hear the Word of God.
That Your decree concerning them would be obeyed, in Jesus’ Name.
That every Reproductive Organs Presented before Your Altar today, from this hour onwards, will become Fruitful, and begin to Multiply!
Lord God Almighty, if they say there is anyone here and they say your Sperm is low;
Daddy, You made Your Children; You made Your boys correct. Anything that is wrong with their Sperms, correct now!
If they say concerning Your daughters that their Ovaries are not functioning the way they should function; Please Daddy, recreate all the Ovaries!
If they say concerning any of your daughters: Oh, there is too much acid; there is too much this, there’s too much that;
Everything hindering the Fruitfulness of Your Children, my Father and my God, correct it today!
Whatever is not functioning Properly in the bodies of these Your Children, Father, replace today!
They are going to cry to You now; they are going to lay their hands on their own Reproductive Organs and tell their own Organs to hear the Word of God.
As they cry to You, Father, answer them! Answer them today!! Please, answer them today!!!
Before the end of this Month, let there be Shouts of Joy!
Make Your Children Fruitful! Father, make Your Children Fruitful!!
Let them be Fruitful! Let them Multiply!!
Give them Twins, give them Triplets, give them Multiple Children!
Lord, answer them today!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I have decreed it – AMEN.
So go ahead, lay your hands on your Womb; lay your hand on your Reproductive Organs and tell the Organs:
Hear the Word of God, God decreed that you must be Fruitful – Obey God!
Go ahead, Call on the Almighty God; and He will answer you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

COMPILATIONS BY:
MOSES DURODOLA, TITILAYOMI AJAYI AND TOPE BABALOLA
THEME: THE ALL-SUFFICIENT GOD (THE WONDERS OF HIS SUFFICIENCY)
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
DATE: 3RD JULY 2023
BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 6: 5-13
SONG:
You are Worthy to be Praised You are Worthy to be Praised My Redeemer You are Worthy to be Praised.
OPENING PRAYER
King of Kings and Lord of lords, the One who knows the Ending from the Beginning, we Worship You. Please, accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Thank You for bringing us to the Second Half of the Year; Thank You for all You did for us in the First Half; Thank You because You always reserve the Best till the Last.
So, we know the Second Half of the Year would be better than the First Half. Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Today my Father and my God, Please give each and every one of us a Divine Encounter.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Well, let someone shout Hallelujah- Hallelujah.
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and tell them: My tomorrow would be alright!
… And then you may Please, be seated.
John 6:5-13:
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
This Month (July), God is going to bless you beyond Measure – Amen.
This is a Story that we are all familiar with – But the most important thing that I want to draw your attention to is in Verse 6. It says, Jesus Himself knew what He would do.
Before a Need, God already had a Solution!
When you go through the Scriptures, you’ll find out there are abundant evidence of God Preparing a Solution before any Need arises.
For Example:
Before Eve was formed, there was already a rib by the side of Adam.
In Genesis 2:18-23, after God had said, it’s not good that a man should be alone; and He said, “I will make a help meet for him.”
God took a rib out of Adam and turned that rib to a woman.
He knew in advance that Adam is going to need a Partner, and He had already Prepared that Partner even in the rib of Adam.
That is Good News for those of you who are trusting God for a Partner – Your Partner has been Prepared, and very soon you will meet him or her, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
When you read Exodus 15:22-26, it tells us that the Children of Israel came to Mara; they were thirsty, and when they got to Mara they discovered that the water was bitter, so they couldn’t drink it.
And God told Moses, “look at that tree, cut down a branch of it, throw it into the water and the water would become sweet.”
It was not when the Children of Israel arrived at Mara that God began to grow the tree. The tree that made the water sweet was already waiting even before the Children of Israel came.
Everything you need to turn your Bitterness to Sweetness, God will show you this Month – Amen.
When you read 2 Kings 5:1-14, you would discovered that long before Naaman was born; long before Naaman became a Leper; long before Naaman came to Elisha, River Jordan had been there flowing.
So, when finally Naaman came to Elisha, he merely told him, “go and wash in Jordan.”
It was not the day that Naaman became a Leper that River Jordan began flowing. Jordan had been flowing long before Naaman came.
Everything you need to put an end Permanently to Sickness and Disease (not only n you, but in your family): God will reveal to you this Month – Amen.
When you read 2 Kings 4:1-7, you know the Story of the Widow who was Bankrupt and the Creditors wanted to sell her children.
She came to Elisha, and Elisha said, go to your Neighbours, borrow empty Vessels.
The result is, before the end of the day, the woman who was Bankrupt became so Rich, Paid off all her debts and she has enough money to live on for the rest of her Life.
*The Point is this: Long before the Widow came to Elisha, she had Neighbours, there were empty Vessels waiting and the Pot of Oil that she needed to solve all her Problems had been in the house.
The Solution to your Financial crisis is already there waiting; God will show you today – Amen.
But then that also goes on to tell us that when we read Galatians 6:7, it says: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
… That is the Law of Harvest.
2 Corinthians 9:6 says, But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
What is God saying here? Before reaping there must be Sowing: Something must come before another.
God already has Solutions to your Problems; He has a Solutions to your weeping. And what He is saying is, all you need to do is Sow!
God has a Solution to the bitter water of Mara, but He still told Moses, “cut down a branch of the tree and throw it in.”
If Moses had said to God, “what we want to do is that we want to drink, what is all these idea of cutting down a branch of a tree?” He would have died of thirst.
If Naaman had refused to wash in Jordan, he would have died a Leper.
You must do your own for God to do His own – He has the Solutions to your Problems and He is merely waiting for you to Play your Part.
When the Man of God told that Widow, “go and borrow empty Vessels, borrow not a few; then lock the door on yourself and begin to pour the little Oil that you have into the empty Vessels.” If she had said to him, Man of God I am not talking of empty Vessels, I am asking that either you give me money or you send for my Creditors and say Please, be Patient.
If she had said that, the Creditors would have told the Man of God, “you are not the one who borrowed money from us: leave us alone let us deal with this Debtor.” The woman would have lost her two (2) sons.
You must do your Part!
The Bible says in Isaiah 55:10 that: He gives Seed to the Sower and food for he Eater.
The moment He gives you Seed, sow it. If you eat your Seed you will die.
In Luke 6:38 He said, “give and you shall be given.”
Your own Part of the job is to give.
How you are going to be giving? Leave that to God.
Before He asked you to give, those who are going to give you in return are already waiting – He has Prepared them!
God knows what He is doing but you must do your Part. If you don’t do your Part, He is not going to Play His Part.
Giving must come before you shall be given.
I will remind you of a Story that you’ve heard several times before.
When we first got to the Redemption Camp here, and we were building the First Auditorium; I told the Area Pastors (that’s all we had then) – They were six (6) of them.
I said, I will cover the Main Auditorium, leave that to me. I have no money and I wasn’t a Businessman. “You use your “Little Faith” to build your Little Dormitory for your Area.
And to cover the Auditorium, I needed Seventeen Thousand Naira (N17,000). And all the money I had was one thousand Naira (N1,000).
… Naira was Strong in those days.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Naira would be Strong again – Amen.
I know you would say to me, Sir, may be you have not been reading the Newspapers.
It doesn’t matter what the News is saying, there is a God in Heaven who can do the impossible – Naira will be strong again (Amen).
I don’t know how He will do it, but I don’t care: As long as my Father says, “the Earth is Mine and the Fullness thereof.” As long as my Father says, “Silver is Mine, Gold is Mine.” As long as my Father says that Wealth will Change hands; Naira shall be Strong again – Amen.
And then one of the Area Pastors came to me, he needed one thousand Naira (N1,000) to cover his own Dormitory. And then he came to me and said, Please Daddy give me one thousand Naira (N1,000).
I looked at him: what is wrong with you? I am still believing God for sixteen thousand Naira (N16,000) and you want to take the only one with me.
I don’t know up till today, how he knew I had one thousand Naira (N1,000).
I told him, “if you don’t get out of my Office, you will be in trouble.”
He ran! But as he was running, God spoke to me and said, give him the one thousand Naira (N1,000).
How can I do that?
If I didn’t know the Voice of God I would have said, “get thee behind me Satan!” I knew Who was talking.
So I called him back and I gave him the one thousand Naira (N1,000). He took the money and began to gallop away in Joy.
And I said, it’s not your fault: your own Problem is Solved now.
And God spoke to me and said, why are you complaining? There were two (2) Problems, we have used you to solve one (1).
That same day somebody collected her house rent in Port Harcourt (Capital City of Rivers State Nigeria) – it was seventeen thousand Naira (N17,000).
And God told her, “take this money to my son.” And she brought seventeen thousand Naira (N17,000) to me.
Before the Problem, God had the Solution – But if I had not given that Boy that one thousand Naira (N1,000) that day, the woman wouldn’t have brought my own seventeen thousand Naira (N17,000) to me.
You must do your Part so that God will do His Part.
He already knew what He will do to feed the People:
I. He already knew there was a boy there with five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish.
II. He knew when the boy was leaving home that the mother was going to give him that food.
III. He knew what He would do, but if that boy had not surrendered his Lunch the Story would be different today.
And at the end of the day – like I have told you before; there were twelve (12) Baskets Leftovers.
Like I Prayed at the beginning – This Month, God would Bless you beyond Measure (Amen).
And I have asked my children before, “what happened to the twelve (12) Baskets?”
And they said, “oh there were twelve (12) Apostles, so each one of them carried a Basket.”
I said no way!
The Bible says, where the water comes from, that is where the water will go to.
The boy went home with twelve (12) big Apostles carrying twelve (12) Baskets of food to follow him home and deposit there.
It is he that gives that receives!
Learn this Principle, let it sink into you – God knows what He is going to do.
When God asks you to give Him something, it is because He wants to do something big for you.
… Do I hear an Amen to that? Amen!
And the most important thing of course, is that when He ask you to give Him your Life, it is because He wants to take that Life and turn it to something Wonderful.
ALTAR CALL
So if you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC, and you have not surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, you are wasting your Life!
And you are getting Old no matter how young you think you are. Stop wasting your Life, come now and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ.
When He takes that “Little Life” of yours, He will turn it around to something very big.
You have to give, to be given – Come and give your Life to Jesus Christ now!
So, if you are here or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not yet Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, do so now.
And the rest of us will Pray, and we will be on our way.
Come and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ – He has the Ability to take that “Little Life” of yours and turn it around. You must give Life first before He can turn that Life around.
Alright, those of you who are ready to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus, talk to the Lord. Ask Him to Please be Merciful unto you.
Tell Him: I have come to Surrender my Life to You. Take over my Life and turn it round. Use it for your Glory. And I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
And the rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them.
Pray that the One who saved our own Souls would save their own Souls also.
Pray that God would give them a Brand New Beginning. Go ahead talk to the Lord
Thank You Father!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
And so Father, we want to Thank You very much for Your Word. And Thank You for these People who have just Surrendered their lives to You today.
Father Please, receive them, forgive all their sins, let Your Blood cover all their sins and wash them away. Save their souls Lord, and Please write their names in the Book of Life.
And as they are Surrendering their lives to You today, Please receive their lives, and turn their lives round for the better.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Praise the Lord- Hallelujah!
I want to rejoice with those of you who have just Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ;
Because by the Grace of God, from now on I will be Praying for you.
So, I am going to need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.
God Bless You!
… Let’s really clap for Jesus. Let’s give Him a big, bug round of applause.
Thank You Father – Amen!
THANKSGIVING
Now you’ve heard the Word. It’s up to you to show God how quickly you want Him to show you the Solutions to all your Financial Problems.
Everything is determined by your Giving – Give and you shall be given.
You do the Giving and let Him see to it as to who is going to Give you in return.
Sow and leave the harvest to God.
We all have seen Farmers sow and we see that the Harvest is always bigger than the Seed sown.
It is the Law of Harvest that runs the whole world.
If all the Farmers say that they won’t sow any more just for one (1) year, and the world would die of Hunger.
It’s up to you now, God knows how to solve your Problems; it is up to you how much you’ll Give.
So take your Offering, and then lift it up to the Almighty God and cry to Him – Father, I am sowing now, show me the Solution to all my Financial Problems.
Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God.
Lift your Offering to Him, say Lord God Almighty, I am sowing, let me reap. Open my eyes Lord to what to do to bring an end to every Financial Problems that I may have.
Talk to Him: I am sowing Lord, let me reap massively. Show me the Solution to all my Financial Problems – You know what to do; You know the Solutions before the Problems stated.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Now with Joy in your Heart, believing that God has heard you, and that this Month (July) is going to be the beginning of massive Prosperity for you. Dance with Joy to the nearest basket (online) and drop your Offering.
Over to you Band!
Thank You Lord!
SPECIAL DIVINE ENCOUNTER PRAYERS
Now before I bless the Offering and then we Close; there are certain People who said they need Special Prayer and they’ve been invited to come to the Divine Encounter so we can Pray together.
Such People can come to the Altar now – Come and tell God what you would have told me if we were together one by one in the office.
And the rest of us, go ahead talk to the Almighty God – Tell Him that before the end of this Month, let there be the Evidence that He has already heard you.
That before the end of the Month, He would show you the Solutions to all your Financial Problems.
Go ahead, talk to God; just for two (2) Minutes – Cry unto Him. Tell Him Lord, these are my Special Requests, Please Lord show me the Solutions to all my Problems.
Please Lord Help me – Send Help to me Lord.
In Your own Miraculously way, send Help to me.

TOPIC: EL-SHADDAI
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
DATE: 2ND JULY, 2023
BIBLE TEXT: 1 GENESIS 17:1
I want you to lift our hands to the Most High God and bless Him – Let’s give Him Glory for all He has done for us. Praise Him for bringing you to the Second Half of this Year (2023), give Him Glory, give Him Honour, give Him Adoration; bless the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Praise Him – He is Worthy to be Praised, there is no one like Him. Magnify His Holy Name.

OPENING PRAYER
King of Kimgs and Lord of Lords, Ancient of Days; we bless Your Holy Name.
We want to Thank You for January, Thank You for February, Thank You for March, Thank You for April, Thank You for May, Thank You for June and Lord Thank You for July. Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Father, You kept us through the First Half of the Year (2023); and now we are in the Second Half.
You are the All Sufficient – If You can keep us for six (6) Months, You can keep us for a Year.
So Father, we are Prayiny that throughout the Second Half of this Year (2023); in all our lives, let Your Glory Shine; everything that has to do with us, Perfect Oh Lord.
Anything called Barrenness, Lord God Almighty; dismiss it from our Church.
In all the homes where they are Trusting You for the Fruit of the Womb, this Month let there be Shout of Joy.
Anyone who is an Orphan, my Father and my God; today take over their situations.
You are the Husband of the Widow, Please take care of all Your Widows, take care of the Widowers.
As for all our Elders, my Father and my God; like never before; Stand by them, Strengthen them, let their Evening be far, far better than their Morning.
Anyone who might be in Need, in any form or the other – Young or Old, this Month (July) meet all their Needs.
As for Your Children who has been Faithful in the Payment of their Tithes and the Giving of their Offerings; in this Seventh (7th) Month of the Year; everything Pertaining to them, Perfect it Oh Lord.
Answer all our Prayers and let Your Name be Glorified.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and Prophesy to yourself and say: Brother/Sister, my Latter End will be better than my Former.
… Say it as if you really mean it!
And then, you may Please be seated – Glory be to God!
Genesis 17:1:
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou Perfect.
The very first time that God introduced Himself to Man, He says: “I am Jehovah El-Shaddai” – The God who is More Than Enough”.
When they want to put that in English, they found out that the best way to Interpret Jehovah El-Shaddai is to say that: “You are the Almighty God”.
But Bible Scholars tells us that: “Jehovah El-Shaddai actually means ‘God, your Mother’s Breast’.”
The implication of that is that – If a Woman gives birth to four (4) children at a time; there is enough Milk in the Breast to feed all of them.
After all of them has fed from the Milk and they are tired; there will still be Milk there.
It means that God is simply saying that whatever all of your Needs, I can Supply and there will still be Extra.
And so this Month in Particular, I have Good News for Someone – Before this Month (July) is over; God will bless you (Amen).
I. If you are Trustihg Him for the Fruit of the Womb, He will Surprise you – Amen!
II. If you are Trusting Him for a Partner, He will Surprise you – Amen!
III. If you are Trusting Him for Promotion, He will Surprise you – Amen!
IV. And if you are Trusting Him for Joy, He will Surprise you – Amen!
He is More Than Sufficient for the Barren – It does not matter how Old.
Genesis 18: 9-14; tells us of a Woman who was already 90 years Old. And when the Almighty God told her that she was going to have a Child, she Laughed. And the reason she Laughed was that it was already “Too Late”.
But then, God told her that: Is there anything “Too Hard” for the Almighty to do?
So, for those of you who are Trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC, my Prayer is that your own will not be “Too Difficult” for God to do – Amen!
He is More Than Sufficient for the Widows/Widowers.
As a matter of fact, when you go through the Scriptures; you will found out that He has Very Special Interest in Widows.
I. In 1 Kings 17: 8-16; the Bible talked about the Widow of Zarephath.
She was a Widow and God visited her in the time of “Tremendous Financial Difficulties” and God made sure that she survived.
II. In 2 Kings 4: 1-7; we saw another Widow there who was “Completely Bankrupt”.
God stepped in and Solved the Problem.
III. In Luke 7: 11-15; the Bible talked about another Widow who lost her only son. God stepped in and raised the Dead so that He can wipe away tears away from the eyes of the Widow.
So all our Widows wherever you are inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; God will take care of you – Amen!
Now, we just want to spend just a little bit of time with Orphans.
There are Categories of Orphans:
I. There are those we called “Half Orphan” – They just lost one of the Parents (Father or Mother).
II. When you are like me and you have lost both of them – Then you are a “Full Orphan”.
III. And then there are Orphans that your Parents are not dead – It is just that they say that they don’t want you.
Parents can forsake Completely a Child.
And the Bible tells us that even in that situation; God will take care of you!
Because Psalms 27:10; David said that even when my father and mother forsake me; God will Pick me up.
IV. And then there are Orphans where the Parents are alive, they love you but they are Helpless – They can’t do much for you.
And there are some of us who knows what we are talking about.
In a sense, I was an Orphan – My Parents loved me (I happened to be their Last Born). But for the first 18 years of my Life; I had no Pairs of Shoes. Not that they don’t want to buy; if you look at their own feet, they didn’t have for themselves too.
And the Almighty God says that if you find yourself in that kind of situation – Not that your Parents are dead, it’s just that they are handicapped. He says that He will still Help you – Amen!
In Isaiah 41:17; He said that when the Poor and the Needy are thirsty and they look for water and they can’t find; the Almighty God said that if they cry to me, I will answer them and I won’t forsake them.
All of us who are in Need for one reason or the other; today God will send you a Miracle – Amen!
I’m sure that you remembered what happened way back in 1956.
I was staying with my Uncle as my Parents were far away and the Uncle himself who was trying to look after me was as Poor as anybody could be. But whenever he has any food, we share.
So what happened when he has no food? – We starved.
So, there was this occasion – There was no food. He was hungry, I was hungrier and there was Nothing anybody could do about it.
And so the two of us were just sitting, watching each other. When all of a sudden, somebody knocked and came in – There was this Young Girl carrying a bowl on her head.
And she said to my Uncle: My Sister said that I should go and give you this food – Pounded Yam with Chicken Stew.
My Uncle said: I don’t know your Sister but the girl says that my Sister knows you.
Okay, my Uncle said Thank You; when I have money, I will send you something.
As soon as the girl turned, we descended on the Pounded Yam. We were breaking the bones of the Chicken when the girl returned and said: I’m sorry, I came to the wrong house.
A Miracle will come to your house today – Amen!
Even if it is not meant for you; in the Name that is above every other names; a Miracle will come to your house today – Amen!
God is enough for the Elderly.
The Greatest Problem of the Elderly is Loneliness – They won’t tell but that is the Truth!
The children has grown and they have gone – Some of them has “Japa” – Not necessarily “Japa” to London but they just “Japa” from home.
DMC NOTES: “Japa”, a Yoruba slang which means “to run, flee or escape”. And it has taken root in the Minds of Young Nigerians and become something they aspire to, in hopes of a better future in a more Structured System.
And the Older you get, the Lonelier the situation becomes!
One of the things God told me some couple of years ago is that you just have to get used to this – That the Older you get, the more that are your friends who will die will be; because everybody will go at his/her own Appointed Time.
Some People that are Younger than you will die – You can’t stop them as they have their own Appointed Time!
But the Good News is that God doesn’t die – Your friends may go, but God is still alive!
And He made a Promise in Isaiah 46:34 – He said that I am the One who has been carrying you from your Mother’s Womb, and I will carry you to your Old Age.
He made another Promise in Hebrews 13:5 – He said that I will never leave you, I will never forsake you.
And so, those of you who are Elders – Relax! Anytime you feel Lonely, just remembered that there is Someone by your Side who is as Close to you as your Shadow.
He says that: The Lord is my Shade on my Right Hand.
And I know what I am talking about – I knew when my Mother grew Old and all my Sisters were gone – Married and went to their husband’s house.
And I am the “Favourite Boy” and I have grown too and I have to live by my own Assignment.
And so, she was in Ilesha (DMC NOTES: Ilesha is a Town in Osun State Nigeria); in a little house that God built for me at the Outskirt of the Town – In those days, it was far into the Bush; with just a handful of houses there.
Each time that I went to see her – Oh, she is so happy. And we will sit down and she will tell me things that happened years ago.
When I go the next time, she will repeat the same thing. So, I knew that she just wanted Somebody to talk to.
When it is time to leave, I can feel her Agony, feel her Pains but what can I do? I can’t sit down with her.
So, I cry to God – Please Lord, help me to Solve this Problem.
And Solving the Problem, let me tell you is not getting an Househelp – There are certain things that you don’t discuss with an Househelp.
When you want to talk, you want to talk to Somebody if you are not of same Age, but at least there is little of resemblance.
And then, God answered my Prayers in a Miraculous Way.
What happened?
One Man just became Mad in the Neighbourhood and just began terrorising People.
So on one occasion, this Mad Man was chasing a Woman – The Woman had a baby on her back and another Child by the hand.
When she looked back and realised that the Mad Man was closing in on her; she dropped the baby she was holding and escaped with the one she was carrying.
The Mad Man got to that little Child – To tell you how Mad he was, he took the hand of the Child and broke it.
And then the Mad Man turned and saw an Elderly Woman – Not very Old but fairly Elderly and began to Pursue that one.
And that one ran and the only house nearby was my house – So, she ran into the house where my Mother was alone.
And the Mad Man stopped – The Mad Man saw something about the house and decided not to enter.
From now on, the devil won’t enter your house – Amen!
That Elderly Woman said: Okay, this is a house where a Mad Man will not enter. She said to my Mum – Please, can I come and live here?
… That is how my own Problem was Solved!
In God’s Own Miraculous Way; every Problems of those of you who are Elderly will be Solved today – Amen!
But now, when God spoke to Abraham, and said: I am Jehovah El-Shaddai; He said something to Abraham – Walk before me!
That tells you one thing Straightaway – God has a “Before” and He has a “Behind”.
“Walk before me means: Walk where I can keep my eyes on you; walk where I can see you!
Because 2 Chronicles 16:9 says: The eyes of the Lord is running to and fro throughout the whole Earth seeking for Somebody to Help.
Because the Bible also says in 1 Peter 5:8 – It says your Adversary, the devil like a Roaring Lion is walking about seeking whom he may devour.
Every Morning when we wake up and we want to go about our Business; the devil is also awake and he is looking for food.
If you stay where God can see you, He will see the Enemy before the Enemy can come to you because His eyes are running, the Enemy is walking and the One who is running is going to arrive before the one who is walking.
But if you refuse to stay where He can see you – You want to stay behind Him; then you are on your own!
And the reason why anybody will want to walk where God cannot see him/her is because you have something to hide.
If you have Nothimg to hide from the Living God, you will say I want to walk before You, and I want You to see me.
That is why you hear me cry every time – Be Holy because His eyes will not behold sin.
If you think that you are Clever and there are things you can do behind Lock Doors that God cannot see; only one Fellow has something to lose and that will be you!
The only People who tremble when they heard that the Auditors are coming are the People who has something to hide.
He said: Walk before me and be thou Perfect!
The Almighty God can see Danger far ahead and He knows how to Prevent the Danger from coming to you Provided you are walking where He can see you!
Years ago, I was walking in the Redemption Camp – The Redemption Camp then was still more than ninety five Percent (95%) Bush and I loved to walk in the Footpaths in the Bush to Pray so that Nobody will disturb me.
And I was going about, Praying, enjoying myself because I was alone with God. And all of a sudden, something told me to Stop and I Stopped.
Suddenly, I realised that this is my Normal Route – I can see something on the road and it looks like a Log of Wood. I thought maybe Somebody came to the Bush, cut down some Trees and didn’t carried it back to its Place.
But all of a sudden, it looks as if the wood is moving.
When I looked more closely; I saw a huge Python right across my Path. And the moment the thing saw that I have recognised it, it raised up its head to attack me.
And now that I have seen it, I moved back a little bit and as I turned, I saw a big Stone – Already Positioned there by God.
I don’t need to tell you the rest of the Story – The Python died and I am still alive.
DMC NOTES: Python Snakes are Large in size and Powerful. They can kill any Living Animal or Human by squeezing. They have a triangular head, sharp teeth, and Prehensile tails. Their teeth are backward curving.
Any Danger coming your way; in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, God will reveal it and He will give you Victory over it – Amen!
But are you willing to walk before Him?
That is a Big Question – The rest is up to you!
ALTAR CALL
So, those of you who think that you are doing yourself a Favour by living in sin – You are doing yourself a Disfavour.
So, if you are here and you have not yet given your Life to Jesus Christ, and if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ today; you better come because if you want Him to be Sufficient for you; you must walk before Him.
So, if you are saying: Lord, I think that I better surrendered my Life to You – I want to walk before You in Holiness, in Purity; then come now.
He will save your Soul, He will forgive your sin and from this moment onwards, you can begin to walk together and the All Sufficient God will meet all your Needs.
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, I will count from one (1) to seven (7) – Before I say seven (7), come and Stand before the Altar and then we Pray for your Salvation.
I’m counting now!
Now, those of you infront and those of you who are on the way; cry to Jesus Christ – Ask Him to Please have Mercy on you, to save your Soul and to wash away your sins. Promise Him that from now on, you will want to walk with Him in Purity and Holiness; that you will Serve Him.
That all you want is that He will save your Soul, wipe away your sins and you will serve Him for the rest of your Life.
And the rest of us, let us Stretch your hands towards these People and Intercede for them – Let’s Pray and ask God; the One who saved our Souls to save their own Souls also.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, I want to bless Your Holy Name for Your Words.
I want to Thank You very, very much for these People who has come forward to Surrender their lives to You.
Father, Please receive them in Jesus Name, have Mercy on them and let Your Blood wash away their sins. Save their Souls Lord, Please like You saved my Soul, save their own Souls also and give them the Grace from now on to be “True Children” of God.
Give them the Grace to walk before You in Holiness and in Purity all the days of their lives.
And I Pray that from now on, any time they cry on to You, You will answer them by Fire.
Thank You Father.
For in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
How many of you believed that God will answer your Prayers today? – Yes for The DMC Family Members!
I want you to cry to the Almighty God and say:
Father, Jehovah El-Shaddai:
I will walk before You. Please, take Care of All my Needs.
I will walk before You where Your Eyes can see me and Lord I won’t hide anything from You anymore.
Let’s go ahead and talk to the Almighty God!!!

SPECIAL BIBLE STUDY WITH DADDY GO FOR THE RCCG “THE AMERICAS” CONTINENTAL CONVENTION 2023; DALLAS TX USA
THEME: EMMANUEL
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 41: 10-20
DATE: 13TH JUNE 2023
Isaiah 41: 10-20
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will Strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my Righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as Nothing; and they that strive with thee shall Perish.
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as Nothing, and as a thing of nought.
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Behold, I will make thee a New sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the Mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
When the Poor and Needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
I will open Rivers in High Places, and Fountains in the midst of the Valleys: I will make the Wilderness a Pool of water, and the dry Land Springs of water.
I will Plant in the Wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the Desert the fir tree, and the Pine, and the box tree together:
That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it
I think this is one of the most frightening Passages in the Bible that I have ever read!
There are three (3) English words that means almost the same thing:
“May” – I may go.
“Shall” – I shall go.
And that “Shall” is far, far more Powerful than “May” because “May” means that you are not sure while “Shall” is more or less a Promise.
“Will” – I will go.
And it is the most Powerful of them all – “Will” means that the Possibility of Change is almost Zero!
That is why when a Man dies, what he writes as to what he want to happen after his Death is called a Will.
And if you don’t want trouble, you don’t mess with the Will of a Dead Man.
The Language that God uses here in the Passage (Isaiah 40: 10-20) is “Will” – That is one.
The Second Thing that you noticed here is that God is not a Talkative and so He rarely speaks twice on any issue:
God has spoken once, twice have I heard that Power belongs to God.
Let there be Light and there was Light.
But if you go through our Bible Text, He said “I will” twelve (12) times.
If the Almighty God repeats Himself twelve (12) times, you should be afraid.
If the One who is not a Talkative kept on saying: “I will”, “I will”, “I will” twelve (12) times; the thirteenth (13th) time He said “I will not” but “I will do this”, “I will do that” twelve (12) times.
I will Strengthen
I will Help
I will Uphold
I will Hold your hand
I will Help (2nd Time)
I will Help (3rd Time)
I will make you a New Sharp Threshing
I will hear the Cry of the Poor and the Needy.
I will Open Rivers in High Places
I will make Wilderness a Pool of Water
I will Plant in the Wilderness of Cedar
I will set Fir Tree in the Desert
Anybody who knows God, now hearing Him saying the same thing twelve (12) times then you should be Shaking!
Because when He spoke to Joshua: “Be Strong and be of Good Courage”: (DMC NOTES: Joshua 1: 6, 7 & 9)
The first time was very Gentle (DMC NOTES: Joshua 1:6)
The Second time, it was a bit louder: Only be Strong and of Good Courage (DMC NOTES: Joshua 1:7)
When He said it the third time; you will feel a hint of Anger in His Voice: I said be Strong and of Good Courage, have I not Commanded thee? (DMC NOTES: Joshua 1:9)
Now, that God who doesn’t just talk casually, says something twelve (12) times – “I will do something”.
Because when He said “I will”; He is saying that there is no Possibility of a Change!
Like He said in Genesis 22: 1-18 – After Abraham had willingly offered Isaac unto Him. He said that “By Myself have I sworn that in Blessings, I will bless you”.
… That is the kind of Statement that He is making here!
And He said by Myself have I sworn because the Bible says that He has Nobody else Greater than Himself to swear,
He is saying to Abraham – It doesn’t matter what happened, I will bless you!
That is different from 1 Samuel 2:30 – Tell Eli I said indeed that you and your father’s house “Should” walk before me forever but now I say I Change my Mind.
The word “Should” used here is lower than “Will”.
That is where my fear lies!
Let Us take a look at what He said in this Passage – Just a little bit of it:
The first thing that He said is: “FEAR NOT”.
What does that mean?
You only say: “Fear Not” when there is something to Fear!
If Nothing is shaking the world, you won’t say: “Fear Not” now.
And believe me honestly: The Christian has Nothing to Fear – Your enemy like a Lion Roaring, looking for whom he will devour.
Everyday that you wake up, Death is looking for you and everyday that you go to bed; the devil does not want you to wake up.
That is why the Bible says that it is of the Mercy of the Lord that we are not Consumed – They are renewed every Morning.
When you wake up every Morning, you better thank God for His Mercy.
The Bible talks about the arrows that flies by the Day, it talks about Pestilence that goes about in the Night.
And if you don’t know what we are talking about; all you need to do is to remember those days of Coronavirus – That you will go to work Healthy and Strong and you will return on your way to the Grave because you shake hands with Somebody or Somebody sneezed near you and not that you have done anything.
But there are arrows flying by the Day and Pestilence by Night – And it is still around us but it is just that during the 2 years of Coronavirus, it was Specific.
If you think that you go to work and you returned safe and sound because you are careful, then you must be a Fool.
I have seen in Nigeria – A family sleeping on their bed and a Trailer lost Control and ran into the house and kill all of them on their bed.
… So, that you Sleep and wake up; you better give God the Glory!
Oh, my doors were “Well Locked”; maybe you don’t know “Too Much” about the devil – Because from the area where I came from (DMC NOTES: In Nigeria); they can come into your house without touching the door. All they have to do because of their connection to the devil is to put their back to your door, fold one of their legs, chant certain Incarntations and then they will be standing by your bed.
But when they entered, they found you surrendered by the Light of Jesus Christ and they found you covered by the Blood of the Lamb.
“Fear Not” – But the Lord Himself said that in this world, you will have Tribulations.
Tribulation is not something that you enjoy!
“Fear Not” means that there is something to Fear but He says “Don’t Worry”.
And Bible Scholars will tell you that they have counted the “Fear Not” in the Bible and they said that there are 365 “Fear Not’s” in the Bible – That is one for each Day!
Then He went on to say: “Be Not Dismayed”
Don’t lose Hope because Great Men and Women can get into situations in their Life where they lose Hope
I mean when you read 1 Kings 19: 1-4; you find it a bit difficult to believed that a Man like Elijah:
I. A Man who can shut the Heavens and say “No More Rain” until I asked for it. And the Windows of Heavens were all shut and there was no Rain.
II. A Man who can call down Fire from Heaven anytime that he wanted.
He got to a situation where he said: “God, I want to die”.
So, who are you that you think that you can never get to a situation where you lose Hope?
Because a Man can only ask for Death only when he thinks that there is no Hope anymore!
But God said: Be Warned! A situation like that may come but don’t let it weigh you down. He said that I don’t bury my “Wounded Soldier”.
You found yourself in a situation that God seems to be very far away; He will send His Angel to bring you out- Amen!
Colossians 1:27 says: “Christ in you, the Hope of Glory” – Not of Shame.
And then He said: “I am thy God”.
Several People has different gods and you yourself is supposed to know who is your God.
Some People god is their belly – The Bible said so.
But the God who is talking now says: “I am thy God”.
Who is He?
Genesis 17:1 says: He is the All Sufficient One – The God who is More Than Enough.
So, it doesn’t matter what situation that you might be going through; He has an Answer!
One of my children was Preaching at the Last Holy Ghost Service in Nigeria (DMC NOTES: During the Zonal Youth Presentatiions of The RCCG June 2023 HGS) – He said that: God has the Solution to your Problem before the Problem started.
… I like that very much and it got stucked in my Brain.
So, when the Problem comes; the Question that you should be asking God is: “Hey, where is the Solution that you Prepared before this Problem?
I have come to know that why the Problem comes is because you have a New Testimony!
Then He said: “I will Strengthen you”.
Philippians 4:13 says: You can keep on succeeding as long as Christ is Strengthening you.
Everybody gets tired – It doesn’t matter who you are.
Some of us here maybe have a little bit more Grace than the others, but we still get tired!
I remembered one time, we are going around the world and my children are eager to go with me – We are going to be visiting Australia, New Zealand, Figi Island, Papua New Guinea etc. And they were excited to go with me.
But then, we just kept on going, going and we got to a Stage – As we know that we hold Crusade everywhere maybe till 11pm, got home to break our Fast around 12 Midnight and go to bed around 1am.
And because Traffic will be serious in some of these Nations, in order to get to the Airport early as they were waiting for us in the Next Nation; we have to wake up early.
So, we Sleep by 1am and by 5am, I expect them to be in my room for us to Pray and be on our way.
It got to a Stage that my children conspired against me – Everyone of them took their Phones off because when I wake up, I will call to wake them up. Every Hotel Rooms that my children were was just saying “Engaged”.
After some time, one of them asked me and said: Daddy what do you call it when your eyes refused to open?
I said that is what is called Weariness.
But God is never tired – That is why the Bible says in: Isaiah 40: 28-31; that He doesn’t Weary, never Tired. And so they that wait upon Him shall renew their Strength.
Then He said: “I will Help you”.
And according to Psalms 46:1; the Help He gives is always on Time – He is the Ever Present Help in times of Trouble.
I can tell you Stories upon Stories about my Life that I know that Help will come on Time.
I can remember this – The Convention was on in Nigeria where we feed everybody. We were still few then; maybe about ten thousand (10,000). Mummy came to me and said that we need #5,000 for today.
I asked her: When did you need the Money? She said what do you mean? Is it now or today?
She said what is the difference? I said a lot of difference. Then she said we need the Money today. I said no Problem, you can go as I will send for you. Because there wasn’t a kobo in my Pocket.
People are already here and waiting for their food at the appropriate time but I know that God will show up because He is not too late. And He did.
The first Fellow that came was a Man who was just driving across the Expressway and he saw something going on and he stopped by.
And he said: What are you People trying to do here? Oh, we are about to have a Convention. And he said this is a Good Idea.
And he said next year, I will be Part of it – Ha, you are saying next year when we are talking of today!
Then He said but for now, take this – And he gave me #1,000. I Pray for him and he left.
I said God Thank You – One down, four to go!
And then Pastor David Kuo – Who was the Leader of the Youth then; brought some Youths along with him to see me.
And I saw an envelope in his hand and he began to Preach to me – Daddy, we appreciate you for feeding us.
… Don’t worry, just give me the envelope.
So, we Youths have gathered and brought this for you – I took the envelope and inside it was #2,000.
Thank You very much – Three down, two to go.
It wasn’t long after that, that I sent for my wife and said: By the way, when do you say you need the Money?
Whether you believed it or not; Help will come on Time!
And as He went on and on; He used a word twice – “Yea, Yea”. That is another word for Yes. And that is to tell you that I’m not joking – It is as if to say: “Surely or Be Assured”.
2 Corinthians 1:20 says: All the Promises of God are “Yea and Amen” – They won’t fail.
Another “I will” that He said is: “I will Uphold You”.
What does that mean?
Proverbs 24:16 tells us that a “Just Man” may fall seven (7) times; but he will rise again.
… “Just Man” and not an “Unjust Man”.
So, “Just Man” falling means that he fell by Accident and not Intentionally.
I quote that Bible Text (Proverbs 24:16) for those that tells you that you can keep on sinning and you will keep getting up because His Grace will be Sufficient.
No, you go to sin willingly, you may never get up!
I have heard People saying that they will tell Jesus Christ before they sin.
They say that all you need to do is to be honest with God – God you know that my Girlfriend is coming to visit me and when she comes; we are going to fornicate. And so, I’m telling you in Advance so that you can Overlook.
The Prodigal Son left home only once. He came back and his father received Him.
If he has gone away the Second time he will never have returned – The devil will have seen to that.
Micah 7:8 says: My Enemies don’t rejoice o. Because if I fall, I will rise again.
… That is a “Just Man” speaking.
WHY IS GOD DOING ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL PROMISES?
He said in the Last Verse of our Bible Text – Isaiah 41:20:
He said that the People around you will see.
Psalms 40: 1-3 says that when God put a New Song in my mouth, then the Enemy will see it and fear – When they see all His Wills come to Past in my Life.
He said that they may also Know – Including yourself.
That according to Ecclesiastes 3:14; that whatever God does shall be forever.
And He said that they may Consider.
The People who will “Consider” will not just be your Enemies; it will be yourself too according to Psalms 8: 3-4.
It says that when I consider the Heavens,, when I consider the works of thy Hands; what is Man.
Occasionally I have asked myself – God, who am I? What have I done to deserve so much from You?
I don’t know of you but I know a lot of People who are far, far better than I – They Pray more, they Studied the Word of God more, they Fast more and some of them has even gone to the best Bible Colleges in the world.
And here I am – I have never been to any Bible College (I wanted to go but God was in an hurry with me).
When I got Ordained after only 2 years in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); the Man who was Ordained before me that same Day had been in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) for 15 years.
So God, what is it that you see in me that you have been so Good to me?
Is there anybody like that here?
The road that I Pass everyday – That I go and come back safe and sound; and I began to hear all manners of things.
On one occasion, there waa Traffic Jam – My son, his wife and his children were in a car. There were 5 cars ahead and there was a Big Truck. It was on a Hill and there was Traffic and everything stopped.
And all of a sudden, an accident happened and the Truck was coming back – Crushing car after car. It got to the car infront of the car containing my son and all his family and stopped.
Why me Lord? The People in the first car who it had crushed; they may even be querying God if alive that why are we at that Point at that time?
I mean not too long ago, Somebody was doing an Analysis of the number of People infected with Coronavirus in Nigeria; on a State by State basis.
And they found out that:
I. The State that has the least Infection was Ogun State – That is the State I lived.
II. The State that has next Least Number is Osun State – That is where I was born.
III. The Next Least State is Ondo State – That is where my Grandfather came from.
IV. They moved to the North, the State that has the Least Infection is where the Headquarters of our Church is in the North.
V. The State with the Least in the South is where we have our Headquarters in the South.
Somebody said that there is a Link between this Man and this happenings.
Somebody said that it is Ordinary Coincidence – Well, I want that kind of Good Coincidence!
When People see God helping us – He is coming to our Aid at “Critical Moments”, Upholding you, Prospering you; they are bound to take Note that this is God at work. That is what He said!
So they said they understand together that the Hand of God has done this!
Job 32:8 says: There is a Spirit in Man and it is the Inspiration of the Almighty that gives Understanding.
In Exodus 8: 16-19; the Bible says that when the Egyptian Magicians has been trying all the Tricks that Moses has been Performing, they got to a Stage when they say that this one is beyond us as this is the Hand of God.
So when you looked at all these things – You considered the Faithfulness of God, all these “Beautiful Promises”; I had this feeling within me that there must be quite Fine Prints somewhere.
There must be something that can make the Almighty God says: It doesn’t matter what is going to happen; I will be there for you!
He says: I will Hold your Right Hand! We will be connected.
That is almost like saying: “EMMANUEL”.
And I said that I understand now – Because there has to be something from my own Side.
I have always said it: Every Faith that puts all the Burden on God alone, is an “Irresponsible Faith”.
That leads to the Big Question: What kind of Hand will God hold?
Because when you read Psalms 24: 3-4 – Talkimg about who will Stand in His Holy Place? Who will ascend to the Hill of the Lord?
The Priority among the Qualifications is: He who has a Clean Hand!
… That’s the first thing that He mentioned.
It is the Person whose hand God can hold that can enjoy all these things.
If your hands are Clean, and He is holding your hands; then you don’t even need to worry whether He will help you or not.
You don’t need to worry about Him Upholding you – He is holding your hand!
I mean when we go for a Stroll in those days with my children and they were very Young. And we get to a Place that is Slippery; all I need to do is just to hold their hands. That way, if they struggle, I make sure that they don’t touch the Ground.
In 2 Corinthians 6:17 – Again He says: Touch not the Unclean Things and I will receive you.
Isaiah 52:11 – He said: You want to bear the Vessel of the Lord; touch not the Unclean Thing.
I don’t know about others – And this is what I have always told the “Big Boys” when they are arguing about “Unlimited Grace” of God.
I said maybe you are right o but one thing that I seems to know about God and I is that He is very Particular about what I do with my hands.
I can never Sign a Report that is not Correct; I won’t send to the Chairman a “Falsified Record” of my Church.
Do you know why?
Because Experience is the Best Teacher – I don’t know Theology. My Theology may not be very, very Strong but I know the way He deals with me from when I was very Young in Him.
Let me just tell you a Story:
I was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lagos (Unilag). And as a result of that, there were certain things that were Provided by the University on my Table – Envelopes, Stationeries etc.
Then one day, I wrote a Personal Letter and I stretched forth my hand to take one of the Official Envelopes so that I can use it to Post my Letter.
And God said: You can’t take that Envelope as it is for Official Letters.
And my hand Froozed.
And I said to God: How much is an Envelope?
He said: Son, if you know that it is too cheap, go and buy yours.
If He won’t allow me to take an Envelope; do you think He will allow me to Cheat?
You want Him to hold your hands? Then all these “I will” will become yours.
But if your hands are dirty, He will say to you like He said to Eli – I said indeed. I am the One who said so (I didn’t send the Prophet) that you and your father’s house will Stand before me forever but now, I am not saying so anymore.
You don’t like it? Sue me!
And then He gave the reason – If you Honour me; I will Honour you; you despise me and I will treat you Lightly.
He Promised Joshua several things in Joshua 1: 1-9 – No Man will be able to Stand before you all the days of your Life.
Joshua came against Ai, Ai chased him and killed 36 of his boys. And God said that I know but Check – I have not Changed but you have Changed!
DMC NOTES: You can read: Joshua 7: 1-12 for this Story!
Shall we bow our Heads Please!
You should talk to God now: Help me so that my hands will remain forever Clean. And everywhere that I have transgressed, help me to put my ways right.
Oh Lord, have Mercy on me – You are the Ever Present Help in Trouble, how come that Help is not coming when I call for it. Have Mercy on me.
Oh, I thought that I was Clever, I thought that I could maneuver, I thought that I know more than You do and so I have been doing things on my own way – Have Mercy on me Lord.
I want to come back Home fully – Just to do Your Will, have Clean Hands in everything for the rest of my Life.
I can deceive Men but I can’t deceived You – You are the All-knowing God; I want my hands to be one hundred Percent Clean in all my Dealings with You because You are more than Sufficient for me.
My tomorrow is in Your Hands Lord and not in my own hands. I can’t even take care of my tomorrow. How do I even know if I will see tomorrow?
All the Shortcuts that I have been taking all my Life; I will Return, I will Restitute to come right back to You Lord in everything.
Restore me to one hundred Percent Fellowship with You Lord for the rest of my Life.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
