Well, let’s lift our hands to the Most High God and begin to bless the King of kings, bless the Lord of lords, bless the Ancient of Days. Give Him Glory, give Him Honour, give Him Adoration. Praise Him!
Praise the Almighty God: He is about to do something very Special in your Life today. So Praise Him. This is a “Very Special Day” in your Life; a day you will never forget.
Thank You Father. Hallelujah!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen!
SONG:
We give You all the Glory We give You Honour; We give You all the Glory We give You Honour
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God, King of kings, and Lord of lords. The God of Wonders!
The One who can do what no man can do; the One who can open and no man can shut; the One can shut and Nobody can open; the All-Sufficient God – Glory be to Your Holy Name!
Father, accept our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.
Father, today in the Life of everyone listening to us right now and those reading on the label of DMC: Do something New, do something Powerful, do something Miraculous, do something Wonderful.
Let everyone listening to us now and those reading in the label of DMC have a Testimony today.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen
Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Why don’t you shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God evening, God bless you Mightily!
… And then Please, be seated.
If you have your Bible there, open it to Revelation 4:10-11:
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
There is Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, who is going home Completely Whole – Amen!
I am going to tell you the reason why in a moment.
But we are going to have three (3) Days of Special Miracles and Wonders, beginning from right now.
And we’ve called them, the Three (3) Days of Special Divine Encounter.
NOW, WHAT IS A DIVINE ENCOUNTER?
I. A Divine Encounter simply means, a collision between the Almighty and you.
II. A collision between the One who made you for His Pleasure and you.
The best way to define Divine Encounter is: God is coming in one way, you are coming in another way, and you collide!
There is no way the Almighty can collide with you and you will remain the same.
I will give you an illustration – The Bible tells us something that happened: There was a Widow in Luke 7:11-15 who was going to bury her only son who had died and a crowd followed her, they were going to the burial ground.
On the other side of the Street, another crowd was coming – The Lord Jesus Christ had a crowd that was following Him.
In the middle of the Street, the two (2) crowd collided, and something Special happened: as soon as they collided – The People who were carrying the dead boy stopped! And Jesus Christ said to the woman, “Weep not!”
Oh, in the Name that’s above every other name, from now on, you will never weep again – Amen.
“Weep not!” He said – He touched the coffin and said to the young man in there: Hey Boy! Who told you, ‘you can die now?’ Get up! Stop causing your mother sorrow. Go back home.
And the boy jumped up; and the People who had been weeping began to shout for Joy.
In the Name that’s above every other name: before this day is out Somebody is going to shout for Joy – Amen.
When the Almighty collided with even death; death had to surrender!
When the One in whose Presence there is a Fullness of Joy collides with where there is Fullness of Sorrow, Sorrow must yield.
… But now, let’s talk Specifically about you!
In Jeremiah 32:27 God said: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
The One who made you is asking you a Question: “Is your case impossible for Me?” No!
When the Supernatural collides with the Natural, the Natural must surrender.
There is a Story I will tell you before I go any further, to let you fully understand:
An elderly man was by the roadside, because his car had stopped. The car was giving him trouble – The car won’t start, so he was struggling with the car.
Then suddenly a Rich man was driving past in a beautiful limousine. And he looked and saw the old man. He stopped, came out of his beautiful car; went to this man by the roadside and said: What’s the Problem?
The elderly man replied, “my car won’t start.”
The Rich man said, I see! Then he said, go inside let me take a look. The old man went to the driver’s seat.
And the Rich man opened the bonnet, touched one (1) or two (2) things; and told the old man to start the car.
Immediately, the car started. And the old man said: Sir, how did you do it? And in any case, why? How much do I owe you?
The Rich man said: You don’t owe me anything. My name is Ford. I am the one who made this car. I did not make this car to stop by the roadside; “I made this car to run!”
Today, the One who made you is going to meet you by the roadside; and He is going to say to you, I made you for My Pleasure. I made you to Function – Amen.
… Oh, very quickly, let’s check one (1) or two (2) things:
HANDS:
Have you any Problem with your hands?
The One Who made you is going to come to you today and say: Hey, wait a minute. I made your hands to Clap – Amen.
How do I know that?
In Psalms 47:1, He says: O clap your hands, all ye people;
That is why in Mark 3:1-5, the Bible says, Jesus came into the Temple and He found a man with withered hands.
He saw the hands, they were already withered, paralyzed. And He said: hands, I made you to clap, not to be withered. And immediately, the hands became whole.
You are going to speak to your hands right now. Speak by Faith and say:
My hands, you were made to clap for Joy. Hands clap! That is why your Maker made you. For the rest of your Life, in the Name that’s above every other name, you will be Clapping for Joy – Amen.
LEGS:
In Psalms 149:3, the Bible tells us, God made your legs to Dance!
He said your legs are to Praise Him in the dance. Therefore, your legs have no reason to be crippled; your legs have no reason to be sick.
God made your legs so that you can dance!
That is why in Acts 3:1-11, when the Almighty God saw a man who was crippled from birth; through His Servant, He spoke a Word.
Peter said to that man, Silver and Gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. (Acts 3:6)
Immediately, the legs Straightened out, and the man began to walk, and to leap and to praise God.
Today, in the Name that’s above every other name, you are going to Command your legs: “Legs, you are to dance, you are not to be crippled.”
And so you are going to shout unto the Almighty God and say: From now on, I will dance, I will praise God. My legs will walk, my legs jump well, my legs will Praise God.
… If you believe that, shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
MOUTH:
In Psalms 147:1, the Bible tells us the reason why He made your mouth: it is to shout for Joy – Hallelujah!
In Psalms 89:1; the Bible says your mouth is meant to sing of the Mercies of the LORD for ever:
Your mouth is meant to Testify or His Goodness.
So tonight, you are going to speak to your mouth.
Even those of you who are listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC and you are dumb; there is a Breakthrough coming for you right now – Amen.
Because in Mark 7:32-37, when they brought a dumb man to Jesus – The man was dumb, he was deaf. They brought him to Jesus Christ, and He said: “Haha! Look at what the devil has done. I made this Fellow to shout! I made this Fellow to hear.”
And so He took him away from the People and He said, I correct you! I made you for my Pleasure; now begin to function. And immediately, he began to hear, he began to shout!
From now on, those who are watching by Sign Language, very soon, you will be shouting – Amen.
EYES
Psalms 19:1 tells us the reason why He made your eyes – Your eyes are to see, not to be blind.
Not to see just a little bit a time. No, No, No! He wants you to see clearly.
He made your eyes to see, so you can behold His Glory.
The Bible says in Psalms 19:1, The Heavens declare the Glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
How are you going to see all these things? Unless you have eyes!
… He made your eyes so that they can see!
That is why in John 9:1-7, when He saw a man who was born blind, He said: wait a minute; there seems to be a little mistake here.
Hey Boy, come here!
Take Note: The blind man didn’t even ask for help. It’s the Owner who said: I didn’t make you to be blind. I made you to see: and I want you to see My Glory.
I decree right now: All of you who can’t see, from this moment onwards, receive your sight – Amen.
BODY:
If there is any Sickness in any Part of your body: Leprosy, any other name – HIV, AIDS. Anything in your body that should not be there – The One who made you is walking along the way. He is about to collide with you – Amen!
He is about to say to your body, what happened here?
Because, according to Psalms 139:14, He said: I made you fearfully and wonderfully well.
You are my very Special Design – I designed you so Specially, that My Signature is on every hairs on your head.
According to Matthew 10:30, when He made you, He made sure – you know.
When a Great Artist has finished one big Painting, he will Signed it.
God said, I Paid attention: even to the hairs of your head – When I made each one of them, I Signed on it.
So, you are going to tell your body now – Anything that is on your body that should not be there, you are going to tell the body:
Hear the Word of the Lord: God made me fearfully and wonderfully. Sickness, you can’t stay in my body; you are not allowed at all. I am made for the pleasure of the Almighty God. Body hear the Word of the Lord, no deformation allowed.
That is why you find in Matthew 8:1-4, there was this young man who was a Leper; all Parts of his body deformed – Fingers cut off, Nostrils Perforated. Parts of his body filled with all manners of ugly sores.
And that Leper Fellow came to Jesus and said: I know You are able to make me Clean but I am not sure if you are willing
Jesus said: what are you talking about? I want everybody to see you, and know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. He touched the Leper and immediately, the Leper became Clean.
Everything that is hibernating in your body, that should not be there; even as He said in Matthew 15:13, “Every Plant my Father has not Planted in you is going tonight”.
Everything in your body that is not supposed to be there is going tonight, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Somebody is about to get a Major Breakthrough tonight – Amen!
And then if you read Genesis 1:26-67, He said: Let us make man in our Image, after our Likeness:
… We will talk more on that later on. Probably on Wednesday.
And then after He has made man, He now blessed them (Genesis 1:28). And after He Blessed them, He now turned to them and gave a decree.
Decree Number One (1): Be Fruitful.
His Pleasure is that you will be Fruitful.
If you are a woman and they are calling you barren, I want you to slap your belly now and tell your Womb: “Womb hear the Word of the Lord; the Pleasure of God is that I be Fruitful”.
If you are not a woman, and you are not barren, but you have a Relative or friend who is barren: today you are going to get their Fruitfulness going – Amen!
By Faith you will slap your Stomach (on behalf of that Fellow) and say: Womb, hear the Word of the Lord; God made you to be Fruitful – Be Fruitful!
… And so shall it be, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!
INTERNAL ORGANS
You know what? Every other thing in you – Your Heart, your Liver, your Lungs, your Kidneys; were made by God for His Pleasure, to bless Him.
David said in Psalms 103:1-2, “Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul and ALL that is within me, bless His Holy Name.”
My heart, bless His Holy Name, my Lungs, bless His Holy Name, my Liver, bless His Holy Name.
All the things that are inside you were not made to be Sick.
You are not allowed to have Heart Attack; you are not allowed to have Asthma; you are not allowed to have Shortage of Blood.
Everything inside you were made to bless the Name of the Lord!
So, you are going to speak with boldness and say: Everything that is in me, from now on, Bless the Lord! You are not allowed to be sick.
… If you believe that, shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
I am going to mention just one case in the Bible.
You will find it in Mark 5:25-34 – It is a Story you know very well: The Story of the woman with the issue of blood.
She was doing what God expected any woman to do – To menstruate, in Preparation to becoming Fruitful.
Then the devil sneaked in, and instead of the menstruation stopping, it just kept on flowing.
She went to Doctors, they tried, they failed. She became Physically Bankrupt.
The Bible said, instead of getting better, she grew worse.
Then one day, she heard that Jesus was Passing by. And she made up her mind: “I am going to have an Encounter with my Maker.”
Maybe you are just Passing by and you’ve seen us gathered together in one little Location and you saw what’s going on here and you stopped! It is because you are about to have an Encounter – Amen!
But there was a crowd around Jesus. She said, “No crowd will stop me today!”
You know, the Bible says in Matthew 11:12, And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the Violent take it by force.
She forced her way through the crowd and had an Encounter with her Maker and her Sickness came to an end immediately.
Tonighty, you are going to take your Healing by Force!
Tonight, you are not going to Pray a Gentleman’s Prayer.
That woman wasn’t going to pay any attention to who is looking – She forced her way through.
I have Good News for you: Jesus is Passing by you now – Amen!
And I am going to ask you to go to Him by force and say: This very Evening, I must have my Complete Healing from my head to my toes:
I. My eyes must see clearly.
II. My ears must hear clearly.
III. My brain must be working the way it should work.
IV. My Womb must be Productive.
V. My hands must be Strong and ready to Clap.
VI. And my Legs must be ready to jump and dance!
From this moment onwards, everything inside me is going to Praise God!
… Are you ready for that? Yes for The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!
Stand on your feet and just begin to cry to the Almighty God and say: In the Mighty Name of Jesus, I Command you my body, hear the Word of the Lord:
I. You were made for His Pleasure, continue to Perform your functions.
II. My hands become useful – Begin to clap for Him.
III. My legs begin to dance for Him.
IV. My eyes begin to see His Glory.
V. Everything within me begin to Praise the Lord.
Every sickness in my body get out! – I Command you in the Mighty Name of Jesus, hear the Word of the Lord!
VI. My brain, you are build by the Almighty, begin to think Properly, begin to learn and to remember things.
Everything within my body, you were made for the Pleasure of the Lord.
And my Maker is Passing by now, I am going to have my own Encounter – I am tired of aches and pains. From this moment onward, IAM going to be Whole.
I am made for His Pleasure, I am not made to sit by the roadside weak and tired.
Thank You Jesus! Blessed be Your Holy Name! Thank You Lord. Hallelujah!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
… I want you to lay your hands on your Head: I am going to Pray for you right now.
DADDY GO DECREE:
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!
I command in the Name of the One who made you; in the Name of the God of all flesh:
Everything in your body that should not be there, get out!
Everything that is abnormal in your body, I command in that Name that’s above every other Name, become normal now!
Eyes, begin to see; Ears, begin to hear; Tongue, begin to speak; Womb, become Fruitful; Kidneys, begin to Perform your functions. Legs, begin to dance; Hands! begin to clap!
Everything within you becomes normal.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name, we have Prayed – Amen.
… Go ahead and clap for the Lord!
ALTAR CALL
I have told you why you must be Whole tonight – It is so that you can have an Encounter with your Maker.
But there are some of us that He wants to have an Encounter with, but we don’t want to.
That is why I am going to appeal to you now.
He said in Matthew 11:28, Come unto me, all ye that Labour and are Heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
If you have not surrendered your Life to Him; I am not asking you to surrender to me. I am not asking you to surrender to any Church.
I am asking you to surrender to your Maker – So that He can have an Encounter with you, and solve all your Problems.
If you have not yet surrendered your Life to Jesus, Please step forward and do so now, very quickly.
In whatever Location you might be – Step forward, raising your hands to the Almighty God. Showing Jesus, “I want to have an Encounter with You. I want You to save me. I want You to make me a Child of God.”
… I might not be able to see, but God sees you wherever you are surrendering to Him right now!
You might be too Young, you might be too old but today is your Day of Encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.
So, come to Him now!
Yes, God Bless You!
He loves you and He wants you to come to Him. He wants to have an Encounter with you; so that He can save your Soul, Perform Miracles on your Life; so that you can become what he wants to to be – A Pleasure to Him!
This is a Day that you will never forget – A Day of a New Beginning.
Now, wherever you are in your various Locations, if you have decided that you want to surrender your Life to Jesus, just bow your head there and Pray a Simple Prayer:
Ask Jesus to be Merciful unto you; ask Him to receive you into His Family; ask Him to save your Soul; ask Him to forgive all your sins and Promise Him that from now on, you’ll be serving Him.
And the rest of you – wherever you are in your various Locations, Please, stretch your hands to these your New Brothers and Sisters and intercede for them.
Pray that the One who saved your own Soul would save their own Souls also
… Let’s go ahead and ypray for about two (2) minutes for them.
Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
My Father and my God, I want to bless Your Holy Name for these People who have heard Your Word and have decided to surrender to You.
As they have come forward, Father, Please receive them: Save their Souls, have Mercy on them; let Your Blood wash away their sins. Write their names in the Book of Life. Receive them into the family of God.
And from now on, whenever they cry unto You, answer them by Fire!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name, we have Prayed – Amen!
Oh, I Praise the Almighty God for all of you (wherever you are) stepping forward for Salvation now.
I want to assure you that, by the Grace of God, from now on, I will Praying for you.
So, I’ll need your name, your Address and your Prayer Requests.
Congratulations! God Bless You – Amen.
Thank You Father!
Now, briefly, there are two (2) or three (3) things we want to do before we close:

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8; as we want to discuss briefly on: “THE SEASONS OF WONDERS”.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:
To every thing there is a Season, and a time to every Purpose under the Heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of Peace.
My Prayer is that your Seasons of Joy will begin today!
We have been asked to speak on: “The Seasons of Wonders”.
What do we mean by Wonders?
Somebody has defined a Wonder as that which causes you to Wonder.
In other words, a Miracle so Great that it is almost Unbelievable; a Miracle that causes you to open your mouth involuntarily.
May you experience that today – Amen!
For Example: In Acts 3: 1-11; when a man who was born Lame suddenly jumped up and began to dance and to Praise God; the Bible says that everybody looking at him were wondering.
What is a Season?
A Season simply is a time when certain thinge normally happens.
For Example: When we talk of Rainy Season in this Part of the world, we are talking about a time when rain normally falls.
So, if Somebody gets up and says that he is a Prophet and that in the Month of June, he said: Thus saith the Lord, there will be Rain tomorrow!
We will just Laugh at him – The Month of June is a Rainy Season; you don’t need to Prophesy to us. It is the Season when it rains.
Like in Deuteronomy 28:12; it says that God will give you Rain in its Season.
So, when we talk of “Seasons of Wonders”; we are talking of:
A Period of time when Wonders happen.
A Period of time when what you should expect will be Wonders.
For Example:
I. In Acts 2: 1-12; when the Day of Pentecost came, the Holy Spirit fell and all the Apostles began to speak in various New Tongues and the whole City gathered together – People from every Nations listening to them and they discovered that these People were speaking in their various Local Dialects; that they were speaking in “Strange Tongues” and yet everybody understood them.
That was a Wonder!
II. Almost immediately, it was followed by Acts 3: 1-11 – When all of a sudden, we saw a Man who was born Lame; walking, leaping and Praising God.
That was another Wonder!
III. Almost immediately, it was followed by Acts 5: 1-16 – When a man and his wife tried to deceived the Apostles and both of them fell dead in the Church.
And then all manners of Miracles were happening by the hands of the Apostles so much that even the Shadow of Peter was healing the Sick.
That was a Wonder!
IV. And then it was followed almost immediately by Acts 8: 5-8 – When one Young man went to Samaria and began to heal the Sick and cast out demons and all manners of Miracles were happening and the whole City was Full of Joy.
That was a Wonder.
V. And it was followed by several cases when the Disciples were put in Prison and when overnight the Prison Doors will just open on its own accord – Like in Acts 12: 5-11 and Acts 16: 25-end.
They couldn’t keep these People in Prison – They put them in Prison but before you get there in the Morning, they are gone.
Wonders after Wonders – It was a Season of Wonders!
And I’m believing God, at least for The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – This will be our Seasons of Wonders (Amen).
But the Big Question is actually: How Long does a Season Last?
For a Rainy Season, how long? I know of a Country not too far from Africa that they told me that if it rains once a year and the rain lasts up to 15 Minutes, they will rejoice and they will say that God has been Good to us this Year.
That means that their own Rainy Season last for 15 Minutes.
That Day, I say Thank God that I am a Nigerian; where our own Rainy Season can last for Months.
How long does a Season last?
It depends entirely on God because according to Daniel 2: 20-21; He is the Controller of Times and Seasons.
He is the One who decides how long will a Season lasts.
In Exodus 15:11; the Bible says that He is Glorious in Holiness, Fearful in Praises, doing Wonders.
And He can decide for example how long a Particular Season is going to Last because according to 2 Peter 3:8; He can allow Wonders to Last for thousand years and regards it as one day.
I’m Praying for you that your Wonders will Last forever – Amen!
For Example: As Young as I am, I have seen Mighty Revivals, Breaking News all over the world.
I remembered a Particular Time of the year when all of us who are Pastors will be rushing to a Particular Country in the world because a man is going to have a Convention that will last for one week. And we will come from all over the world.
The first time that I attended, there was seventeen thousand (17,000) People Present. And to me whose Congregation then was less than one thousand (1,000); I have never seen such a crowd before.
It lasted for a Season – Now, if they hold that same Meeting, it will be a Miracle if they get three thousand (3,000) People. The Season has Passed.
But then, by the Special Grace of God, God has a Very Special Love for us – We started the Holy Ghost Service in 1986 and up till now, Miracles are still happening. The Season still continues!
I Pray for Someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Your Seasons of Wonders will Last Forever (Amen).
But then, there is something better than the Seasons of Wonders – And that is “The God of Wonders Himself”.
You know, He doesn’t grow Old – As far as He is concerned, when you are shouting Happy New Year; He will just be smiling in Heaven because you are the one Year is ending and another Year is beginning.
As far as He is concerned; from Everlasting to Everlasting He is God.
As far as He is concerned, there is no difference between January 1st and February 5th – He is God all the time.
And if you have the God of Wonders as your friend; you have Wonders anywhere and anytime – Whenever you need a Wonder, He Performs one for you and it doesn’t matter where you are.
I mean for Example:
Some forty (40) something years ago, I was in Britain to write our Church’s Sunday School Pamphlet.
I had finished it and I still have some three (3) days to return because in those days, we were so rich that we have to buy Special Tickets. The Ticket will be Discounted but you must spend at least two (2) weeks where you are going – That is the condition for Discounting the Ticket.
So, I have finished what I went for but it remains three (3) more days for me to return and I ran out of money.
So, I say to God: Daddy, I still have three (3) more days to go. You know that I don’t mind Fasting but there are some things that I would have loved to take back to Nigeria – Books, Tapes etc. So it will be good if I can have fifty Pounds (£50). I just Prayed it as a Casual Prayer and I wasn’t expecting an answer.
But God is going to surprise Somebody here today – Amen.
Within minutes, my Phone rang (Landline); I Picked and the Person said is that Biyi? I said there is no Biyi here. He said that is it not number so and so number? I said it is but there is no Biyi. He said sorry o and I said that is okay, God bless you.
And he said: God bless me? I said yes. He said do you know God? And I said that I know Him. He said how do you know Him? I said that He is my Saviour.
He said: Who am I talking to? I said that my name is Adeboye
He said: Which Adeboye? I said the Adeboye of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
And he began to scream, started calling his brothers: Come and hear the one I’m talking to on the Phone.
Apparently the two of them has been talking and discussing about me and wishing that one day they will meet me. And now I’m on the Phone.
To cut a long Story short, they took my Address, the two of them came, we talked and when they were going, they gave me fifty Pounds (£50).
Fifty Pounds (£50) through wrong Phone Call? – That is a Wonder. I bless them and they left.
And as I was climbing Upstairs to the room, I said to God: Daddy, if I had know that is how You will answer, then I would have asked for one hundred Pounds (£100).
I got Upstairs, knelt down to Pray because I wanted to sleep and the door bell rang. So I got up and was saying who is this Fellow? And then the Phone rang again and I said I’m coming. But before I got there, the Fellow had gone but he passed an envelope through the opening of the door.
I picked up the envelope, looked at the writing and recognised it as the handwriting of a friend of mine – Very rich but the number one Miser of the world. He can’t play with #1.
I picked the envelope and I saw a Note at the back of the envelope – He said that I just realised that all these years, I have never given you anything. And then say that I just want to give you this.
I opened the envelope and it was fifty Pounds (£50).
I took the envelope and I was going Upstairs – Daddy, if I had known that another fifty Pounds (£50) will come, I would have asked for one hundred and fifty Pounds (£150).
To cut the long Story short, very soon another fifty Pounds (£50) came and I became afraid – Almighty God, I was joking o; all I wanted is fifty Pounds (£50).
In a way that you cannot imagined, God will Perform Wonder for you – Amen!
Several years ago, I was going to one of these Meetings that I was talking about in America and the Plane had to take me through Dallas – I was meant to have a Stop Over there and Change Plane:
And one of my children who was living in Dallas then came to meet me at the Airport, spent a Night with him and the following day, he was taking me to the Airport so that I can continue my journey.
As we were going, God spoke to me – At that time, we don’t even have The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in America at all.
But as we are driving to the Airport, God spoke to me and said: Do you know that the Headquarters of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in America is going to be in this Town?
Well, He was the One who spoke; so I share it with my son in the car and he said Amen.
Couple of years later, something happened – There was a man living in Dallas, God had spoken to him years before to go and buy a Piece of Land. He told God: What do I need a Farmland for? I’m not a farmer and I’m not interested in farming.
God said that I’m not asking you to buy it for yourself. Buy the Farmland, and the Fellow said: Yes Lord and he bought it.
So years after, my son and I that had the same discussion with me on my way to the Airport; he went to a Restaurant to eat, the man who bought the Land was in the Restaurant eating. He saw my son coming in and God spoke to him – That is the owner of that Land.
So, the man came to my son where he sat down and said: Are you a Missionary? He said yes. From Africa? He said yes.
He said: Well, years ago, God asked me to buy a Piece of Land, I bought it. Now that God has told me that Land belongs to you. Finish your food so that we can go and see it.
My son said: Food? Let’s forget food. Come and show me the Land.
A one hundred and fourteen (114) Hectares of Land! – That is how we got the Redemption Camp in Dallas.
The day they took me to the Land and I saw it, and very nearby was a huge house of another Farmer who owns a lot of Land.
When my children took me there and showed me the Land; when they wanted us to go, I told them to go as I want to spend the Night there. I want to thank God who can do this kind of Wonder.
So, they left me alone in the Vehicle and I kept on Praying. I went out at Night Praying but it was cold and after some time, I went back into the car but my heart was racing as I still wanted to Praise Him more and more. And so, I came out again after I got warmed.
And all of a sudden, He spoke – He said: Son, that House is yours. He said: Son, walk up and down this Place – As far as your eyes can see, I have given it to you.
Today, we have more than eight hundred Hectares of Land there.
When I told my children that God said this House is mine; they said: Please don’t say it loud because where God had given us is the Headquarters of an organisation called “KKK”. They are the People who used to roast Black People for fun.
DMC NOTES: “The Ku Klux Klan” commonly shortened to the “KKK” or “The Klan”, is an American White Supremacist, Right-Wing Terrorist, and Hate Group whose Primary targets are African Americans, Jews, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and Catholics, as well as immigrants, leftists, homosexuals, Muslims, Atheists, and Abortion Providers.
So, if you let this man hear what you are saying, he will just shoot you. I said that I will keep quiet.
Twenty (20) years later, he put up a Notice for Sale. When they went to him and they told him that this is what God said, he said why didn’t you tell me? I have been having headaches – Should I sell or not. He said that for twenty (20) years I have been feeling restless here.
Everybody occupying your Blessings; the God of Wonders will speak to them now – Amen!
You know that when I became the General Overseer, things were hard. I mean that the entire Income of the Church was less than my Monthly Salary as a Senior Lecturer in the University – Then we have thirty nine (39) People to Pay every Month. By the time we have Paid everybody, there is nothing left for the General Overseer.
And then I collected my Gratuity – You know I have worked for the Government for so many years, so I put it together and I collected my Gratuity and I said that this is “Big Money”. At least, I can manage this one till the Church grows.
And all of a sudden, I just realised that I’m now under a New Management as I am no longer employed by the Government but by God.
So, let me talk to my New Manager – How do You want me to handle this money? I was thinking that I will save some of the money after Payijg my Tithe.
And I just asked Him – Lord, what do You want me to do with money?
He said: Divide it into three (3) – Give one third to one Ministry, give one third to one Ministry and the remaining one third to another Ministry.
That was tough – I said: Yes Lord! But then He said something: Son, I will be your Source!
If you see the Glory of today, there is a Story behind it!
Not only has He been Providing Mysteriously; how is He doing it? Stop searching. You want the Secret, go to the God of Wonders!
I was in America and those of you who knows me know that I am booked back to back. When I am about to leave one Place, in the next Town People would have been gathering for one Previous Hour.
And so I was about to go, I was already sitting down in the Jet that God has Graciously Provided. We were about to move and they wanted to close the door when all of a sudden, as they were about to close the door, they noticed a Smoke.
And when your Plane gives a little Problem on the Ground, you better thank God because in the Air, there is no Parking Space. And so we came back.
And if the Plane is giving a Problem, there is no roadside Mechanics – You have to tell the Manufacturer, then they will tell you where their nearest Representative is who will come to look at the Plane.
What am I going to do? I’m supposed to be where I am going to 10.00am and it is now 9.00am.
And so, we try to get a Commercial Plane; the one going to where we were going is going by 5.00pm.
So I say: Father, what am I going to do? Your Children are already waiting there.
And all of a sudden, some People saw my son – Ha Leke, how are you? Where is daddy? Daddy is over there.
They came to greet me; they said: Where are you going? And I told them.
They said we are Pilots, our boss will soon arrive.
The boss come, they said Daddy GO is here, his Plane is having a little Problem and he is wondering if we could take you to where you are going, then drop you and come and pick him to where he is going.
That man said: Daddy GO! He said: Ask him if he will kindly allow you take me to where I am going first before going to where he is going.
I arrived on time for my Program – And God spoke to me and said: Son, I told you that I will be your Source!
Anywhere you need Help, Help will be there waiting for you – Amen!
I decree to Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – From this moment onwards, anywhere you need Help, Wonders will be waiting for you – Amen
Let me Close:
If you don’t have the God of Wonders, your Season of Wonders will be Short.
If you have the God of Wonders, your Season of Wonders will be Forever.
But not only that, you can ask me a Simple Question – How can I enjoy Wonders everyday?
1 Kings 17: 8-16 – The Widow of Zarephath and her son had a Meal left that they will both eat and has not hope of getting any other but will wait for death. A Man of God (Elijah) came to her, requested her to do his own first before she and her son will eat. And the Man of God (Elijah) said: For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the Earth.
And the Bible says that it was so!
That is telling those of us who are Christians to put God first and Provoke a “Daily Blessing” and “Daily Wonder”.
ALTAR CALL
As for those of you who has not surrendered your Life to Jesus, what are you waiting for?
Don’t wait for a Season, establish a Relationship with the God of Wonders – He is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.
So, if you want to surrender your Life to Him, you want Wonders to become Regular in your Life; then come now!
I will count from one (1) to seven (7) – Come and surrender your Life to Jesus Christ. He will save your Soul, He will invite you into His Family and Wonders will begin. I’m counting now!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, I want to Thank You very much for these Your Children who has come forward.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
By the Special Grace of God, The RCCG Special Holy Ghost Service is here again.
Next Month (March 2023), will be the Anniversary of The RCCG Holy Ghost Service – 37th Year Anniversary.
We started in the Year 1986 and by the Grace of God, we are still going Strong.
The Theme for Next Month (March 2023) RCCG Special Holy Ghost Service is: “THE GOD OF BREAKTHROUGHS”.
And it is going to take Place from Thursday, 2nd of March to Sunday, 5th of March 2023.
And then, if you love your friends, you will tell them not to miss what is coming because we are going to discuss: “The God of Breakthroughs”.
That automatically means that there will be many Breakthroughs!
And then next week by the Special Grace of God, we will be having our Annual RCCG Special Divine Encounter Services on Monday, 6th February; Tuesday, 7th February and Wednesday, 8th February 2023.
There will be no RCCG Monthly Divine Encounter Service for the Month of February 2023 on that Moday 6th of February 2023 since we are going to have one in the Evening between 6.00pm to 7.00pm every of the 3 days stated (6th to 8th February 2023).
It will interest you to know that the Story we will be considering during The RCCG Special Divine Encounter Service 2023, that the Lord has asked us to look at for the 3 days is: “The Story of the Woman with the Issue of Blood”.
I have thought that you can’t Preach more than one Sermon from that but the Almighty God have shown me that even after the three (3) Special Divine Encounter Service Days, we will just be scratching the Surface.
The Almighty God is going to surprise many People through that Story next week!
And so because there won’t be the Monthly RCCG Divine Encounter Service for the Month of February 2023 on that Monday morning; there will be no Shiloh Hour either for the Month of February 2023.
But during the RCCG Special Divine Encounter Services for Year 2023, God will take care of Shiloh Hour too.
Glory be to God – HALLELUJAH!
Last month we were looking at the Size of God under the heading “WONDERFUL”.
And you would remembered we looked at how long His Leg is – He is seated in the Heavens and His legs are so long that they still touch the Earth.
Very long legs and wonderfully long legs!
And then we looked at His Arms: Just trying to find the size. And we discovered that His Arms are Everlasting. That from Everlasting to Everlasting He is God.
But of course, I thought we had finished with the Size of God, now we should move on to the Nature of God.
So I informed the one who will be Ministering before me that today, we will be talking about the Nature of God. And I had made some little Preparations for the Topic.
Well, I can almost say I am happy that God spoke to me that, that is not what I will be talking about. Because after what the Young man did, what is there left for me to say?
… I think we should give a big round of applause for the First Speaker – Pastor J.T Kalejaiye!
I mean, not only did he cover the whole Story about God being Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, etc. There were so many big Grammar that a Mathematician was frightened.
But the Lord said to me, “Son, we haven’t finished with My Size. In the future we will talk about My Nature.” Because my son (the First speaker) covered a lot of Grounds.
But there are one (1) or two (2) things still left about His Nature:
I mean, when you hear that God is Love – You begin to think of a hug!
But when you hear that He is also the Consuming Fire, you will say ‘wait a minute, I am not so sure about this hug.’ Particularly when you hear that, “whosoever the Father loves He chastises.” You won’t find out that, “whosever the Father loves, He kisses.”
So, we will be talking about the Nature of God later on: I don’t know when. It could be April or May. Maybe we will get to that.
But tonight we want to continue from where we stopped concerning: “THE SIZE OF GOD”.
Isaiah 66:1
Thus saith the LORD, The Heaven is my Throne, and the Earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the Place of my rest?
… That is what we looked at last Month!
Incidentally, for those of you who might be wondering: “why is daddy sitting down again today?” I am fine! There is nothing wrong with me. I am Healthy, I am Strong.
But whether you believe it or not, my Daddy told me that the wind is going to blow here tonight – Amen.
And somebody will know before we finish, that the wind has blown – Amen.
And it is not going to be a Gentle wind at all – it is going to blow away every Problem in the Life of someone – Amen!
Believe me honestly, and I am speaking on behalf of my Daddy: The Red Sea is going to open for someone tonight – Amen.
You can take it from me (His son) talking to you on behalf of my Father when I say to you: Dry bones will live again tonight – Amen.
There will be a Sign to somebody that the Wind had blown because somebody who has never spoken in Tongues before will speak in Tongues tonight – Amen.
Anyway I am just informing you about that! But apart from that, let’s face facts – It is more comfortable to sit down than to Stand (Laughter)!
So I think this sitting down idea might be a very Good one, Particularly for somebody who is going to be eighty-one (81) next Month (March 2nd, 2023) – Hallelujah!
When I was Younger, there is a Language we used – Somebody has tremendous influence, we will say: “He has long legs.”
… Have you heard that one before? Yes!
When someone can reach several Places easily, you will say ‘he has long arms.’
So, long legs Plus long arms means INFLUENCE.
Tonight, we are going to be talking about: THE INFLUENCE OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
And I am telling you, when it comes to influence, Nobody can come near my God.
When we talk about Area of Influence, the influence of a President is limited to his Country.
If there is an Order from Aso Rock that there is a curfew – “Nobody should go out after 7pm.”
God forbid! There will be no curfew in Nigeria – Amen!
That Order covers only Nigeria. It cannot extend to Ghana.
But even the President – As influential as he is in Nigeria, cannot control whether you Fast or you don’t. Is that correct? Yes, Sir!
He hasn’t got the Power to say, you must or you must not Fast. He hasn’t got the Power to say that the husband should not come near the wife.
Years ago there was a Head of State in this Country (Nigeria) and we were very good friends. Very, very good friends! We were very close.
And so one day we were alone, you know, just having fun. Everybody had gone – all those who want to see the President, they had gone home. So, it’s now Oga and and his little friend.
And suddenly he asked a question: “Who is more Powerful – The President or the Pastor?” And I said, the Pastor of course! He said, I know you will get it wrong.
He said, I can decree that there will be a curfew then you won’t be able to go to Church in the evening. I said, that’s true! But can you decree that the barren will become Fruitful? Can you decree that the Lame will walk? He said, I surrender!
Tonight I Decree: everyone of you considered barren, this Year (2023); you will carry your children – Amen.
With the backing of my Father in Heaven – Who is the Most Influential of all the influentials, I Decree to someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC: You will never weep again – Amen.
If you’ve received that, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
WHAT IS THE AREA OF INFLUENCE OF MY DADDY (THE ALMIGHTY GOD)?
Philippians 2:9-11 tells me,at the mention of His Name, all knees should bow: of things in Heaven, things on Earth and things Underneath the Earth.
And so, I won’t take too much time, because tonight I want you to Pray. And after that we will be Ministering to those who need Special Prayers.
But according to Psalms 139:1-12, you will discovered that His Influence is everywhere – Top of the Mountain, the bottom of the Ocean, everywhere!
So, we are going to look at:
I. His Influence in the Heavens.
II. His Influence on Earth, and
III. His Influence underneath the Earth – as quickly as I can.
And if He ask me to stop anywhere, you can be sure I will stop! Which means we may continue from there.
HEAVEN IS HIS THRONE – His influence in Heaven is Wonderful.
Psalms 115:3 says: But our God is in the Heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath Pleased.
… He is the Original Majesty in Heaven.
In Psalms 2:1-5; He says, don’t bother yourself; let the heathen rage, let so called ‘big’people begin to make Plans against you. It says, “He that sits in Heaven shall Laugh.”
… Now, that’s Influence, men!
Let all the so called ‘big’ ones make all their Plans concerning you. It says, your Father in Heaven, seated on His Throne will just Laugh.
And so, anybody who is Planning something against you is wasting his time – Amen.
And according to Malachi 3, that some People don’t like – But it is a very important Chapter.
If you read it, that is where where God said, “I am the Lord, I Change not. Before He now came to Verse 8-11 (Malachi 3:8-11)
Because His Influence in Heaven is absolute, He says: I can just open a Window in Heaven (Just one Window) and Pour you a Blessing that you won’t have room enough to receive.
He can open a Window in Heaven; and if He wants, He can Close it: Nobody queries Him there!
I can never forget the Story – Some of you have heard it before. But it is very necessary to hear it again.
You remembered the man who was a very Successful man, and had a quarrel with his wife. He didn’t know who the wife was! And the wife said, “by the time I finished with you, you will trek in Lagos.” And the man laughed! “How can I trek in Lagos?”
… Because the man had many cars.
But the woman set all Evil Forces against him. To cut a long Story short; by the time he came to Ebute Meta (RCCG National Headquarters Parish), he had only Fifty Kobo (50k) left in his Purse.
And he said, “If I eat with this money, where will I get money for fuel? If I buy fuel with this money what will I eat?”
That’s when he came to Jesus Christ. He came to the One Who has Influence everywhere.
The day he was sharing his Testimony; he was dedicating two (2) brand New Mansions.
But he said one thing: “I gave my Life to Jesus Christ and the Heavens opened.”
I Decree today over everyone of you listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC; the Heavens will open – Amen.
… So, my daddy has Influence in Heaven!
But then that also means He has Influence in the Heavenlies.
There is a Place between the Earth and the Heavens that we call the Heavenlies.
I. He has influence over Angels.
If you read Isaiah 6:1-7, the Bible would tell you that the Angels are always singing Praises to Him, crying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
… And by the way, thank you Choir. You did a very Great job tonight. Thank you!
You might not know it but for the first time since you have been Ministering; you got me Standing – Hallelujah!
… The Angels were singing: Holy, Holy, Holy.
And How many Angels has He?
Revelation 5:11 calls them: Ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
In other words, the Writer of the Book of Revelation said, “I don’t have a way of describing the Number.” We are not talking of Billions, Trillions. We are talking of ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.
And How Strong are these Angels?
The Bible says in Psalms 103:20, that the Angels excel in Strength.
So, if you find somebody who thinks he is Strong; he doesn’t even know the meaning of Strength.
How Strong is an Angel?
In Isaiah 37:33-37, the Bible tells us one Angel killed a hundred and eighty five thousand (185,000) Soldiers in one night.
… So you can understand that your enemy is in trouble!
Because, for each and every one of us, there are at least two (2) Angels guarding us.
And I think I have told you the names of my own two (2)
How many of you remembered their names? – One is called Goodness, the other is called Mercy.
For how long are they going to follow me? – All the days of my life!
*That’s why God is called the Lord of Hosts. He is the Commander-In-Chief of all these Angels. And He can send these Angels on errands. They can go anywhere, anytime, to take care of business.
Like Daniel 6:1-22, when Daniel was shut up in the Den of lions and the King came early in the morning and said, “Daniel, Servant of the Most High God, your God whom you serve, has He been able to Preserved you?”
Daniel replied, “O King live for ever, my God has sent His Angel and has shut the mouth of Lions.”
I have Good News for somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC: No Lion will eat you – Amen.
The Angel shut the mouth of Lions: we will talk a little more about that later.
And the more interesting thing is that, Angels can open doors without keys.
In Acts 12:5-11, Peter was kept in Prison and some Soldiers were there guarding him. And then the King wanted to bring him out the following day so he can be executed.
And in the Night, an Angel came in – The doors opened on their own accord. And thank God for Peter, he was having a nice sleep, because he knew that he is serving a God who can take care of situations.
Every one of you in any form of Prison, you are coming out today – Amen.
Angels can open doors and lead you out of Prison.
Physical Prison, Spiritual Prison, Financial Prison – You are coming out today – Amen!
And some of you would remember: I don’t want to tell too many Stories tonight. But I will do as He leads.
You’ll remembered the Story of that Lady who was barren because the mother-in-law didn’t like her. As soon as she got married, the mother in-law went to the Market and bought a loaf of bread, charmed it, gave it to the girl and said, “eat and use it to block your womb.” And the girl ate!
From that moment she stopped menstruating. And then the Almighty God arranged for us to hold a Program in Oyo; and she decided to Fast in Preparation for the Program.
The day we were to arrive, in the afternoon, she was sleeping and she had a Dream -:Some People came in dressed like Doctors and they put her on her back, operated her.
They took out a rope, and began to draw it out. At the end of the rope was something that looked like bread and black. They sewed her up and then they disappeared. She woke up, and found that after all these years she has started menstruating.
… I told you that the last time I heard about her, she had five (5) children.
Every one of you who has been put in any form of Prison or the other, you are coming out tonight – Amen.
But the Angels can do a lot more:
Maybe one of these days we will take a Holy Ghost Service that we will just discuss Angels.
Because in the same Acts 12:18-24, it was an Angel that gave a King a slap.
The King that wanted to kill Peter, an Angel smote him. And when the Angel smote him, it was a Signal to worms. Worms just came from nowhere and ate the King up.
The King was sitting on his Throne, an Angel slapped him. But before he hit the Ground, the worms had finished him up.
I want you to know that this is in the New Testament – So don’t say I am Old Fashioned; because what I am about to say is related to something that happened in the New Testament.
Anyone trying to block your way to your Destiny, an Angel will slap him – Amen.
So, one of the things in the Heavenlies are Angels.
But then, in the Heavenlies, we also have what we call the Sun, Moon and the Stars – And He controls them, because His Influence is there.
In Psalms 121:1-8, He can decide to tell the Sun not to smite you by Day; the Moon not to smite you by Night.
What’s the Implication of that?
It means the Sun can smite. Even the moon can smite.
You would Probably have heard of something they call Sun Stroke.
When some People expose themselves to Sun in a Particular fashion, they can get a big Problem called “Sun Stroke” – It means that the Sun smote them.
But that is not even the important thing.
The important thing is because His Influence is in the Heavenlies. He can tell the Sun, don’t Set; Moon, don’t rise!
In Joshua 10:12-14, Joshua said, Almighty God I am doing Your job. I don’t want the Sun to set. And immediately, the Sun “Stood Still”; the Moon “Stood Still”, until Joshua finished his Assignment.
Do you know I have the confidence in me to tell you – It doesn’t matter what may be happening, until you finish the Assignment God has for you, you are not going to die – Amen.
I was approaching the age of sixty (60), my children were Preparing for big Celebration and I was walking around on this Camp Ground very sad.
Sad because at that time, the Church was only in about fifty five (55) or fifty six (56) Nations.
I was crying to God, “Father, what am I going to do? I’m going to be Sixty (60) and I’ve not even started my Assignment. You want this Church to go throughout the world. What am I going to do?”
He spoke to me and said, “Son, I’m the One Who decides when the Sun will set.”
… Thank God the Sun hasn’t set for Twenty-one (21) years!
I Decree tonight in the Name that is above every other name: your Sun will not set – Amen!
His influence over the Sun, Moon – Of course, we calculate time, and time to calculate age, is such that He can even ask the Sun to go backward.
In 2 Kings 20:1-11, a King was sick and God sent His Messenger to go and tell him, “put your house in order, you are going to die.” He said, God I don’t want to die yet.
God said, alright, Prophet go back and tell him, I give him fifteen (15) years extra. He said, that is Great! How am I going to be sure that this will happen? You know, once God has spoken…
The Man of God said, what Sign do you want? Do you want to Sun to move fast forward or to go back. He said, the Sun going forward, that’s no big deal. Tell the Sun to go back. And the Sun reversed!
Like my children in America would say, “the Sun backed up!”
And I remembered telling them the Story of something that reversed, and they corrected my American English.
… But you have heard Testimonies of People who lost years.
Someone who had reached a certain age, and God spoke from one of the Altar: whether the one here, the one in Britain, the one at the University of Ibadan and several other Places.
And God said: there is someone here, I’ve taken ten (10) years off your age – So that someone who was already several years past child bearing suddenly became Fruitful again.
You won’t die before your time – Amen.
But God also has the Power to tell the Sun to move speedily forward: so that what is supposed to be your Portion in the Future can be transferred to you – So that you can begin to enjoy it straightaway.
I will give you an illustration – In Matthew 15:21-28; there was this woman whose daughter was vexed of the devil. She came to Jesus Christ: Please, help me; have Mercy on me.
And Jesus said, I can’t give the bread of children to dogs. She said, I know I am a dog. But Please, just give me a little crumb.
You see, what happened was that Jesus meant to say that the time for the Gentiles is yet to come; we are dealing with Jews. And the woman said: I know I am not a Jew, but I can have a little foretaste.
The time for the Gentiles didn’t come until Acts 10, when Peter had to go to the house of Cornelius. At that time, even Peter had to struggle with God, “I am not supposed to go to anyone who is unclean.”
And God said, the time of somebody being unclean, that one is gone!
But God stretched to the Future with His Everlasting Arms and grabbed a Miracle and brought it to the Present for that woman.
I Prophesy to someone tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC: That Position you are supposed to reach years from now, before the end of this year (2023); my God would take you there – Amen.
Of course you know that Stars can guide.
In Matthew 2:1-10, when some Wise men came from the East, they wanted to see Jesus. They saw a Star and the Star led them to where Jesus Christ was. As soon as it got there, it stood there.
The Almighty God controls the Heavenlies.
Thank You Father!
The Lord asked me to tell someone here tonight, or reading now on the Label of DMC:
… He said the fellow would understand.
He simply said: This one will not be miscarried – Amen.
HE HAS INFLUENCE ON EARTH.
Let’s look at some of His Influence on Earth:
I. His Influence on Rain:
You know Rain is so important. According to Isaiah 55:10 – Unless the rain falls, there would be no food for the eater.
If rain stops falling, we would soon be all dead, because there will be no food to eat.
But in Amos 4:7-8, the Bible tells us that the Almighty God can decide to Rain on one City and leave the other City completely dry. So that from the Cities where it didn’t Rain, they will have to go to the City where it rained for food.
So Rain is a Blessing!
Ezekiel 34:26 tells us that there shall be Showers of Blessing.
But do you know that too much Rain; too soon, can create a Problem?
I was talking to my children in Bayelsa some days ago when I went to see the area devastated by flood last year: Too much Rain; too soon can become a Problem.
And so, Joel 2:23 says He gives us Rain moderately.
I Pray for somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC: It will Rain on you! It won’t be too much Rain; it will be the Rain you can handle – Amen.
DMC NOTES: You can get to read the Full Text of Pastor E.A Adeboye’s Special Father’s Prayer on Bayelsa State on this Link:
II. Part of the things in the Earthly realm where He is influential has to do with the Wind and Sea.
When you read Job 38:8-11, the Bible tells us that it is God who controls the Sea. If you come near the Sea you’ll see the waves.
When the waves are coming, you would think: oh, the sea is going to overrun everywhere. No! It gets to a Place and then it will just fall back and go down back into the Sea.
Why? Because God shut it up with doors.
In that Job 38:8-11, God said to the Sea, hitherto shall you come and no further – He controls the Sea.
And in Mark 4:35-41, the Bible tells us, “What manner of man is this that the Wind and the Sea obey Him?”
He can command the Sea to open when the Wind blows on it;
He can command the Sea to close up when the Wind stops blowing;
He can use the Wind to bring Blessings.
In Numbers 11:31-32, the children of Israel needed meat, and He sent the Wind to go and bring quails and they camp mightily.
III. What about His Influence on Animals?
You know the Lion is supposed to be the King of Animals; but it is my Father who controls it.
For example, in 1 Kings 13:1-25, He told the Lion, a Prophet has been disobedient. He said, kill him but don’t eat him.
Now, Lions don’t normally kill except they are hungry. Ask anybody who knows about them. Or they are threatened.
The Prophet was sitting down behind a tree, and the Lion just came, killed him and left him there as an example.
And then in the Story in Daniel 6; the Lions saw Daniel coming but the Almighty God told them, “don’t touch this one, because he is a son of the Lion of Judah. Throughout the night, you find one Lion playing with another.
But the following day, as soon as they pulled out Daniel because I am sure the Lions must have grumbled but, “Lord, you are the One Who made us to eat flesh: and this is flesh coming and you said, don’t eat it.” God said, don’t worry, tomorrow you will have a Feast.
The following day, those who threw Daniel into the Den of Lions came with their wives and their children; and they went down into the Den of Lions. And God said, “hey Lions, this is the Feast I Promised you.”
There is something called the ‘Law of Substitution’. It is in the Bible – Proverbs 11:8, it says: The Righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
I Decree tonight: those who put you into the Lion’s den will replace you there – Amen.
He can use a donkey to Prophesy; a donkey to speak (laughs)!
The Lord said, one of you have been crying to God – You are saying: “God, pay me Special Attention during this Fast.”
He said, I will pay you Special Attention – Amen.
You know the Story in Numbers 22:1-35. There was a Prophet that God said shouldn’t go somewhere but he wanted to go. And God decided to talk to him through a donkey.
When you need help, God can use an animal.
How do I know? I have told you this Story long ago. Many of you have never heard it:
I was a small boy, Probably between 5 to 6 years old. And my elder sister got married and moved in with her husband living in another Village not too far away from my own Village. She described the Village to me as a small child.
And I just felt, I want to go and see my sister, since the place was not supposed to be far. I didn’t tell anybody at home I was going anywhere. My sister didn’t know I was coming. My mother didn’t know I have left home.
Then I got to the Jungle: and my sister had said, when you get to this place turn left. When you get to another place turn right. I turned right, turned left, and suddenly I found myself hopelessly lost in the Jungle!
I didn’t know the way back home; I didn’t know the way to the farm.
As Young as I was, all I did, I just lifted up my eyes to Heaven, I said God help me!
… Do I hear Somebody say: God Help me tonight?
And by the time I looked down, I saw a little puppy dog – absolutely white. Just white puppy dog. “There was no dog here when I was lifting up my eyes!”
And the way the dog was behaving very friendly, it seems to be making Signs as if to say, follow me!
Well, there was nothing else I could do, so I followed the dog. Believe it or not, the dog led me to my sister’s farm.
And when they saw me, they all shouted, “how did you get here?” I said, “I followed that little dog.” They said, dog? I said yes! They said, there is no dog in this farm. We looked outside, there was no dog.
If God has to send an animal to help you, so may it be, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
IV. His Influence over the Sea extends to the Fish living in the River and in the Ocean.
You know the Story of Jonah, in Jonah 1:17; when they threw him into the Sea, God Prepared a big fish tank to swallow him. And God said to the fish, swallow him, don’t digest him.
After he had repented in Jonah 2:10, God said to the fish, go and vomit him – don’t vomit him into the Sea, because he doesn’t know how to swim. Take him to a dry Land.
In Matthew 17:24-27, when some People wanted to embarrass the Lord Jesus Christ about the issue of Tax, remember what He said to Peter: “go to the river, take your hook. The first fish you catch, open its mouth, there will be a gold coin there – it will be enough to pay our Taxes. And he went!
And God has spoken to a fish, ‘swallow a coin.’ Fish don’t eat metals. But the fish obeyed. And He spoke to the fish, ‘be the first one to be caught by the hook.’ And the fish obeyed.
In Luke 5:1-7, you know the Story: When Peter fished all night and caught nothing. And the Lord said, throw your net to this side and see what happens.
The Bible Scholars said, the fish gathered to hear Jesus Preach; and so God told Peter throw the nets! And the fish began to jump into the net.
I don’t know how God is going to solve your Problems; but whatever method He wants to use, it will be done tonight, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Thank You Father!
Now, I want to say Amen to this one;
Because God says, there is someone here tonight, or reading now on the Label of DMC:
As soon as the Rainy Season begins, your Blessing will begin to Multiply – Amen.
V. I can talk about His Influence over Birds.
If you read 1 Kings 17:2-6, the Bible tells us that God sent Ravens to go and feed Elijah twice a day. And like I have always shared with you:
Everybody knows that Ravens love bread, every bird loves to eat bread – Ravens in Particular love meat.
But they took bread and meat to Elijah twice a day: They did not eat the food on the way, and they did not miss the Address.
And so I am decreeing: The devil won’t eat your Miracle; and your Miracle will not miss your Address – Amen.
VI. What about His Influence on Men?
… Because we make a big chunk of things on Earth – Men.
Proverbs 19:21 says, There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the Counsel of the LORD, that shall Stand.
And he can do whatever He likes with the heart of anybody:
He can harden the heart – like He did in the case of Pharaoh;
He can even tamper with the heart a little, like in Daniel 4, when a King had to eat grass for seven (7) years.
But He can use a King and a servant to fulfil the Dream of somebody He loves.
For example, in Genesis 41:1-44 (you know the Story): Joseph had had Dreams, and somewhere along the way he had met this Servant of Pharaoh. He interpreted the Dream correctly for that fellow; and he told him, don’t forget me here oooo.
The fellow got back home, but Probably forgot Joseph.
But when God was ready, Joseph was in Prison and the King has two (2) Dreams. By the end of the day, Joseph was already Prime Minister.
I don’t know who God would use – It could be a President, a Governor, a King, a Servant; but one way or the other, I am convinced, the Purpose of God for your Life will be fulfilled – Amen.
You know, when I talk about you Laughing last: I have always told you a Story about a girl who was jilted by her “Supposed Lover” on the Wedding Day.
I mean, it was the day my wife and I went to the Registry. And there was this Lady, beautifully dressed, about to be married. But she didn’t know the boy was just deceiving her. She waited and waited, the boy didn’t show up.
Somehow, she survived! And then she got another man – Married another fellow in the Military. And the boy friend that jilted her also joined the Army.
And then there was a Coup, and the New Commander-In-Chief appointed her husband as a Military State Administrator. And they also appointed the boyfriend who jilted her as the Aide-de-camp (ADC) of her husband.
So that anytime the Lady wanted to go to the market, she would stand back for the Aide-de-camp to open the door.
She laughed last!
Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC will Laugh Last – Amen.
Oh, Thank You Father!
The Lord asked me to tell somebody: No more Asthma – Amen!
Thank You Father!
He also asked me to tell somebody: Don’t listen to the devil; I have not finished with you yet – Amen.
HE HAS INFLUENCE UNDERNEATH THE EARTH.
You know, Psalms 24:1 tells us that: The Earth is the LORD’s, and the Fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
… Everything underneath the Earth, they belong to God.
In Isaiah 45:3, God talks about the Treasures of Darkness, Hidden Riches of Secret Places. He was talking about the Treasures Underneath the Earth.
I am sure you know that all the Precious Stones all come from Underneath the Earth.
In Haggai 2:8, the Bible says: The Silver is mine, and the Gold is mine, saith the LORD of Hosts.
Someone Pointed out to me sometimes that Job was an Oil Magnate. I said, where do you find that?
He said, Job 29:1-6 – where Job spoke about rocks pouring out Oil for him.
When I heard that one I said I better decree to somebody among my children, that by the Special Grace of God, very soon, you too will become an Oil Magnate – Amen.
Thank You Lord!
The Almighty God says: Whatever it is going to take to Silence your Mockers, I will do it – Amen.
When we talk about Underneath the Earth, God was also referring to Forces of Darkness: He controls the Host in Heaven, the Host on Earth – that’s men, Soldiers, etc. And He controls the Host underneath the Earth – That’s the Host of darkness.
All I can say briefly here is that, even the devil must take Permission from God before he can attack anybody.
All you need to do is read the Book of Job Chapters 1 and 2;
When the devil went to God and said, I want to attack Job. God said, you can go to his far but you can’t go further.
And then somebody said, in that case you are saying God can give Permission to the devil to attack me.
No ooo! You are a Child of God – You are not an Ordinary Servant. Job was a Servant and you are a Child.
Nobody Performs experiment with His Children!
In the Name that is above every other name; no evil would befall you. And no demon would be able to Penetrate through to you – Amen.
But let me Close with this one – Your area of Real Influence is where your word is Law – When you speak and it happens.
I am the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). When I said: my children, this year you are Fasting for Fifty (50) days, everybody in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) said, Amen!
One (1) or two (2) said, only fifty (50) days? We have been waiting for a hundred (100) days.
Don’t worry, hundred (100) days would come!
But that does not mean that any other Denomination must Fast because my word is not Law among them.
The Word of God carries weight everywhere, all over the Universe.
Psalms 33:8-9 says: Let all the Earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Why must we fear the Lord? It says: For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psalms 62:11 says: God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that Power belongeth unto God.
Power belongs to who? Power belongs to God!
In Isaiah 55:10-11; He says: So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void,
In Luke 7:1-10 – You know the Story of a Centurion whose Servant was Sick and he came to Jesus Christ. When Jesus said, I will come and heal him, he said No! I know Who You are: speak a Word only and my Servant would be made well.
Do I hear somebody say: Lord, speak to me!
We will take a Case Study very quickly, and I won’t spend time over it:
Oh, Thank You Father!
… Daddy, I want to say Amen to this.
The Lord says, someone here tonight, or reading now on the Label of DMC, should enlarge his Capacity to give Thanks.
He said because, a Flood of Blessings is on your way – Amen.
In Mark 10:46-52, you know the Story of Bartimaeus. He was begging by the roadside, he heard that Jesus was passing by and then he began to cry. The People told him to shut up! But he kept on crying.
Jesus heard him and said, go and bring him. They brought him. Jesus asked him, what do you want? And he said, I just want to receive my sight. And Jesus spoke a Word, “Receive your sight!”
I. One word from the One Who is Influential all over the Universe; and suddenly darkness became light.
I decree in the Name that is above every other name to everyone of you here today or reading on the Label of DMC, there shall be Light – Amen.
II. One Word was what God said and suddenly Poverty came to an end. That man never begged again!
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I decree: you won’t die Poor – Amen!
III. One Word and all his enemies became his Servants.
The People asking him to shut up were the People God said, ‘Go and bring him.’
You know, I have told you once; it might not be a good idea for God to wipe out all your enemies. Some of them should remain!
Because if you say: Thou Preparest a table before me in the Presence of mine enemies (Psalms 23:5). Then there have to be some of them to see you enjoying.
Maybe He shouldn’t kill all of them: He should just Paralyze them or turn them to your Servants.
IV. One Word from the Lord and a man who would have died barren; who would never have married, suddenly became the Center of Attraction.
I wasn’t there: but I am sure after what happened to Bartimaeus, he became very famous. And I am sure he got married.
… When we get to Heaven we will know the details.
V. One Word from the Almighty God and a man who had been Stagnant for years (a beggar). He never got a Promotion; If he got any it Probably would be ‘Chief Beggar.’
And the man was Promoted from the roadside to be the Center of Attraction.
VI. Just one Word from the Almighty God, and his Sickness disappeared.
VI. One Word from the Almighty God and he was no longer in Bondage.
Let someone shout again: Lord, speak to me!
When I was Preparing this Sermon, I was wondering how I can conclude because there are so many other things from this issue of Influence of God.
And the Almighty God whispered to me a Song – it is a Yoruba Song. But I will tell you what it means in English
It simply says: “You the Owner of the Earth, Please walk by me.”
SONG:
Oba to nile, wa rin ile mi koja (The King of our land, come and walk through my Land) Oba to nile, wa rin ile mi koja (The King of our land, come and walk through my Land) Rin ile mi koja (Walk through my Land) Ka ye mi ko di otun (So that my Life can be Better) Rin ile mi koja (Walk through my Land) Ka ye ko ni itumo (So that my Life can have meaning) Oba to nile, wa rin ile mi koja (The King of our land, come and walk through my Land) Rin ile mi koja (Walk through my Land)
You, the Owner of the Earth, walk by me so that my life can Change; so that Your Influence can transform every bit of my situation. Just pass by me!
I. You passed by the man in John 5:2-9; who had been among those People who were hopelessly sick for Thirty eight (38) years. You walked passed him, he got his healing.
II. You walked by the man called the Mad Man of Gadarenes in Mark 5:2-20;
Because the Bible tells us that the area where that mad man was, Nobody can pass by there.
But my Father walked by him, all the demons left when God spoke a word, GO!
… And the man that was supposed to die a horrible death became an Evangelist.
III. You walked by the Tent of Abraham and all Prophecies became a Decree;
And the man who was trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb for almost a hundred years became the father of Isaac.
He has influence everywhere! If only you can walk by me today, my Life will never be the same again.
How many of you would like to say: Father, walk by me today? The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!
Which is Good News for those of you who have not given your Life to Jesus Christ.
He is here already, and He is giving you an invitation, “Come unto me, all ye who Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
Come and taste My Influence, I will make everything New for you.”
But it’s up to you to accept His invitation. It’s up to you to reject His invitation.
He said in Revelation 3:20, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice, I will come in with all My Influence.
… But if He knocks and you don’t respond, He will move on!
ALTAR CALL
So, those of you who are here or reading now on the Label of DMC and you would love to surrender your Life to Jesus Christ:
The One Who can Influence every facet of your Life;
II. The One Who can touch those who can help you so that they can help you;

Shake hands with two (2) or three (3) People and say: Good Evening, God bless you. And then you may Please be seated.
1 Corinthians 11: 23-26
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come.
When I was in Primary School in the 1950’s, they used to teach us what we called “Ancient History” for those of us who are children.
And they talked about People like “Hammurabi” (I’m sure they don’t teach us that again); they talked about “Pheidippides/Philippides” and they talked about several Ancient People who left a Legacy behind!
DMC NOTES: Some few facts about “Hammurabi” and “Pheidippides/Philippides” are as stated below:
Hammurabi (1810 – 1750 BC) was the sixth Amorite king of the Old Babylonian Empire, reigning from 1792 to 1750 BC. He was preceded by his father, Sin-Muballit, who abdicated due to failing health. During his reign, he conquered Elam and the city-states of Larsa, Eshnunna, and Mari. He ousted Ishme-Dagan I, the king of Assyria, and forced his son Mut-Ashkur to pay tribute, bringing almost all of Mesopotamia under Babylonian rule.
Hammurabi is best known for having issued the “Code of Hammurabi”, which he claimed to have received from Shamash, the Babylonian god of Justice.
Unlike earlier Sumerian Law Codes, such as the Code of Ur-Nammu, which had focused on compensating the Victim of the crime, the Law of Hammurabi was one of the first Law Codes to place greater emphasis on the Physical Punishment of the Perpetrator. It Prescribed specific Penalties for each Crime and is among the first Codes to establish the Presumption of Innocence. They were intended to limit what a Wronged Person was Permitted to do in retribution.
The Code of Hammurabi and the Law of Moses in the Torah contain numerous similarities.
Hammurabi was seen by many as a god within his own lifetime. After his death, Hammurabi was revered as a Great Conqueror who spread Civilization and forced all People to pay obeisance to Marduk, the National god of the Babylonians.
Later, his Military accomplishments became de-emphasized and his role as the ideal Lawgiver became the Primary aspect of his Legacy.
For later Mesopotamians, Hammurabi’s reign became the frame of reference for all events occurring in the distant past.
Even after the Empire he built collapsed, he was still revered as a model ruler, and many kings across the Near East claimed him as an ancestor.
Hammurabi was rediscovered by Archaeologists in the late nineteenth Century and has since been seen as an important figure in the History of Law.
Pheidippides or Philippides is the central figure in the Story that inspired a Modern Sporting Event, “The Marathon race”.
Pheidippides is said to have run from Marathon to Athens to deliver News of the Victory of the battle of Marathon.
The Traditional Story relates that Pheidippides (530 – 490 BC), an Athenian herald, or “Professional-Running Courier” or “Day-Long Runner”, was sent to Sparta to request help when the Persians landed at Marathon, Greece.
He ran about 240 km (150 mi) in two days, and then ran back.
He then ran the 40 km (25 mi) to the battlefield near Marathon and back to Athens to announce the Greek Victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon (490 BC) with the word “We win!”.
And then he collapsed and died.
When they come nearer home, they talked about Moses – It will amaze you to know that they didn’t talk about Moses as a man who opened the Red Sea but they talked about Moses as the Law Giver because it is out of the ten (10) Commandments that all the Laws of the world has been Fashioned.
When they talked about David, they didn’t even bothered to mentioned the fact that he killed a Goliath; they talked about him being the Greatest King of Israel.
But when they come to Jesus Christ, they told us three (3) things about Jesus Christ – The Saviour, The Great Physician and The Baptiser in the Holy Spirit.
So, Jesus Christ said that: “Do this in Remembrance of Me”.
He is simply telling you that this is the Legacy I’m leaving behind – My Blood and my Flesh.
My Blood to take care of your Salvation and also take care of your Baptism in the Holy Spirit and my Flesh to take care of your Healings.
Tonight, we want to remember the Legacy left behind by the One whose Name is called Wonderful:
He is trying to remind us that He has Performed Wonders through the Breaking of the Bread.
In John 6: 5-13; He took 5 Loaves of Bread and 2 Fishes and with it He fed five thousand (5,000) People and there were twelve (12) Baskets leftovers.
Now that is a Wonder!
And He let us know that He has healed before in a Wonderful manner.
That is Mark 2: 1-12; when they brought Him a man through the roof and He spoke a Word and the man was healed.
And to let us know that what He did then in the Past, He can still do it today because He made a Provision for our Healings.
1 Peter 2:24 says: By His Stripes we were healed.
And He wanted us to remember when we take the Wine that the First Miracle He ever Performed was with the Wine in John 2: 1-11 – When He turned water to Wine.
Which is Symbolic of saying:
I. That He had turned Sorrow to Joy before and He can do it again.
II. That He had turned Shame to Glory before and He can do it again.
III. That through the Blood, He can grab Somebody who is an Antichrist like Saul of Tarsus and turned him to a man who can claimed because of the Power in the Blood in 2 Corinthians 7:2 that I have ever wronged any man.
The same man who has been killing Christians, throwing them to Prison et cetera et cetera; if he comes in contact with the Blood of Jesus Christ; he can Stand Tall and say: I have never harmed anybody,
Why? The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sins.
And He wants us to know that when we drink the Wine, representing His Blood; we are coming in Contact with the Baptiser in the Holy Spirit.
I want us to know again and again that the Meal of the Holy Communion is of deep Spiritual Implications and very deep Spiritual Mysteries.
Moses was the Law Giver, David was the Greatest King of Israel but Jesus Christ is the Saviour, the Healer and the Baptiser in the Holy Spirit.
It is to His Table that you are invited tonight – On the surface, the Bread looks Ordinary, on the surface, the Wine looked Ordinary; but after they have been blessed,, after they have been Sanctified, after we approach the Table with a deep Understanding that we are approaching Someone who said don’t you ever forget me, things Changed.
The Bread can begin to Produce Healings, the Wine can Cleanse from all sins and bring in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Which is why I keep on crying that it is not a Meal that you take casually; which is why I keep telling you if you want to eat the Holy Communion, search the Scriptures, it is only eaten at Night and not during the Daytime.
It is not the Lord’s Breakfast, it is not the Lord’s Lunch but it is the Lord’s Supper!
That Passage that we read says: The Lord Jesus, the Very Night in which He was betrayed took the Bread.
Tonight, we will come, we will take the Bread, we will take the Wine and we will reach out to more than 2,000 years ago and claim our Healings and claim our Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
And then claim the Wonder of changing Shame to Glory, of changing Sorrow to Joy and receiving the Power to go ahead and do Double Portion work for the God of Wonders Himself.
ALTAR CALL
So, as we start and before we go to the Table; in case there is anyone here or reading now on the Label of DMC that you know that you are not saved, you know that you are still living in sin but you want to be free from sin once and for all; the Blood of Jesus Christ is still flowing.
If you hurry and come before the Altar, we will Pray for your Salvation and the Lord Himself will save your Soul and after that you will be free to join us as we Partake of the Lord’s Table.
So, I’m counting now from one (1) to five (5). Before I say five (5); if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; Please come and stand before the Altar and we will Pray for your Salvation.
Those of you who has come and those of you on the way; cry to Jesus Christ and say: Please, let Your Blood wash away my sins, save my Soul today, let me become a Brand New Creature of You, let me become a True Child of the Living God.
Go ahead and talk to the Lord!
And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands towards these People and ask for Genuine Salvation for them.
That the One who saved our Souls will save their Own Souls also. Let us Pray that the Blood that cleanses from all sins will wash away all their sins and that they too will become True Child of the Living God.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Saviour, I want to Thank You even as we remember that Day when You hung on a Tree, shedding Your Blood for the remission of our sins.
Thank You Lord for these People who has come forward tonight to be Partakers of the Salvation that You brought.
Please receive them, have Mercy on them, let Your Blood wash away their sins, Please save their Souls, write their names in the Book of Life, receive them into the Family of God.
And from now on, anytime they cry unto You, Please answer them by Fire.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
So, when they served you the Bread and I have given the Signal, then you will eat the Bread.
And your Prayer will be: That Great Physician, tonight I remembered the Price You Pay for my Healings; release my Healing to me today. I received my Healing by Faith.
And of course, when they served you the Wine, you hold on to it until we have all been served, then I will tell you how to Pray!
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!
Please, go ahead and Pray as instructed!
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Have you all been served with Wine? Then we can Please Stand!
When you drink the Wine tonight, you are going to cry unto Him to fill you to Overflowing with the Holy Spirit.
But you say: I have been filled with the Holy Spirit before! Now, you need to be refilled.
You need to be filled to the extent that you you will be able to say like David said: Thou anointed my head with Oil, my cup runs over.
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!
Go ahead and Pray as instructed.
Thank You Lord. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Please let us be seated and remain in an attitude of Prayer. Pass your cup to the aisles so that the Ushers can help us collect them.
THANKSGIVING
Then let us take our Thanksgiving Offering as we want to say Thank You to the One who Paid for all this; the One who by His Stripes we were healed, by His Blood we were saved and by His Blood we can be Baptised in the Holy Spirit.
We take our Offering and dance to the nearest basket and drop the Offering.
And after you drop the Offering and while still dancing and rejoicing and celebrating with your Neighbours; shake hands with them and believe along with them that their Wonders has started in Jesus Mighty Name – Amen!
Over to you Band!
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST
For just one (1) Minute, in an attitude of Faith; I want you to tell God something that you want God to do for you before tomorrow morning.
Go ahead and talk to the Lord!
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, once again we say Thank You – Thank You for Your Goodness, Thank You for Your Mercy, Thank You for Your Sacrifice, Thank You for Your Love, Thank You for Your Legacy. Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
This is the Offering of Your Children, Father Please receive it, sanctify it, and use it for Your Glory.
And Father, Your Children has asked for something; my own Request Lord God Almighty tonight is that You will have Mercy on all of us and turn all our Requests to Testimonies.
Thank You Almighty God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
How many of us believed that tomorrow will be alright? – Yes for all the DMC Family Members!

COMPILATIONS BY:
MOSES DURODOLA, TITILAYOMI AJAYI AND TOPE BABALOLA
TOPIC: FOR WHOM THE HEAVENS OPEN – PART 4 (CASE STUDY OF MOSES)
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE
DATE: 29TH JANUARY 2023
BIBLE TEXT: EXODUS 3: 1-5
Let Us Pray!
SONG
You are Worthy Oh Lord You are Worthy You are Worthy to be Glorified You are Worthy Oh Lord You are Worthy You are Worthy to be Glorified
OPENING PRAYER
Father, You are Worthy. King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the I am that I am, the Ancient of Days, the God who is rich in Mercy, the King of Glory, the Lord of Host, the One who has never lost a war.
You are Worthy to be Praised, You are Worthy to be Glorified; Heaven is Your Throne, the Earth is Your Footstool. You are absolutely in Control of every situation – We Worship You. Father, Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
As we continue Oh Lord in our Series my Lord and my Saviour; I Pray for all Your Children who are gathered again to Worship You that the Heavens will open today and we will have real cause to Glorify Your Name.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
When we started this Series: “For Whom the Heavens Open” at the beginning of the New Year; we said that this is because one of the most Significant things that happened to Elisha on the Day that he received the Double Portion of the Spirit of Elijah was that the Heavens opened unto him.
And then, we said that he wasn’t the only one that the Heavens had opened to – Either before and after and so we decided to look at those People for whom the Heavens had opened to in the Past and we said that the Series will Probably take us all the way from Genesis to Revelation.
And so we started with the first Fellow for whom the Heavens opened and that was Noah – We Studied the Life of Noah briefly to see if there is anything in his Life that we can emulate so that the Heavens must opened unto us also.
And after we finished with Noah, we moved on to Study about Abraham.
And now, we want to move on to Moses!
Exodus 3:1-5:
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the Priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the Mountain of God, even to Horeb.
And the Angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is Holy Ground.
The Heavens open unto a Shepherd called Moses and he saw a bush burning with fire but the bush was not consumed!
And there is no doubt in that at least we know something about our God – And one of the things that the Bible says about our God is that He is a Consuming Fire.
And so it means that the Heavens opened, God the Consuming Fire came down to visit a man called Moses!
We want to see what Lessons can we learn from Moses because without any iota of doubt, the Heavens opened to him for the Consuming Fire Himself to descend.
The first thing that we will want to take Note of is that Heavens can open Unexpectedly.
Moses was not expecting the Fire to burn, he was not expecting God to Pay him a visit, he was not expecting the Consuming Fire to be burning at the backside of the Desert.
… Heaven can open Unexpectedly!
Acts 2: 1-4 made it known unto us that when the Disciples were gathered together in the room where they were Praying. Suddenly, there was a Sound like that of a rushing Mighty Wind and the Holy Spirit came like “Tongues of Fire” that sat on each and everyone of them.
And I’m expecting that in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ; even though some People might not be expecting it; I am expecting that the Heavens will open unto us suddenly today in Jesus Name – Amen!
The Second thing that we want to learn in this bit of Story in the Life of Moses is that Heavens can open to Somebody anywhere.
I. Here in the case of Moses (Exodus 3: 1-5); the Heavens opened to Moses at the backside of a Desert – He was at work.
He was at the backside of the Desert and not just any Place but in the hidden corner of the Desert and the Heavens opened unto him there.
II, in Genesis 18: 1-14; Abraham was at home, he was sitting infront of his Tent; when the Heavens opened unto him and God Paid him a visit.
So, Heavens can open to you when you are at home!
III. In Acts 9: 1-7; Saul of Tarsus was on his way to Damascus. He was travelling when the Heavens opened unto him.
So, Heavens can open unto you when you are on a Journey back home!
IV. In 1 Samuel 16: 11-13; David was at work, looking after the Sheep of his father in the bush when the Heavens opened unto him.
And the Messenger came to say: Hey come; you are wanted at home. And of course, he didn’t know that his Life will never be the same again after that.
So, Heavens can open to you in the Office where you are busy doing your daily course!
V. And just like I said, in Acts 2: 1-4; Heavens opened to the Apostles in the Upper Room, during a Prayer Meeting.
Heavens can open while the Service is on!
And so before this Service is over, Heavens can open to Somebody. And I Pray thar will be your case – Amen!
VI. Heavens can open during the Day like it happened here to Moses but it can also opened at Night.
Genesis 28: 10-17; Jacob was running away from home after his brother threatened to kill him because he was able to snatch the Blessing that normally should have been given to his brother.
He was running away from home, got tired, lay down on the Journey at Night to sleep and the Heavens opened unto him.
And he had a Dream and saw a Ladder reaching to Heaven – He saw Angels descending and ascending and then he saw the Almighty God at the Top of the Ladder. And the Heavens opened unto him and God spoke to him and God repeated the Blessings of Abraham his father.
When he woke up, he said: Ha, I didn’t even know that I am at the Gateaway to Heaven.
So, whether in the Morning or in the Evening; whether on your way home or here while the Service is on, even when you are on your bed or as you read on the Label of DMC; my Prayer is that before this Day is out; the Heavens will open for you – Amen!
And then we discovered something about the “Awesome Power” of God displayed when the Heavens opened – We found out that when the Heavens opened unto Moses, an “Ordinary Piece of Dust”, “Small Piece of Land” suddenly became Holy Ground.
“Ordinary Mud” because it came in contact with the God of Heavens, suddenly became Holy Ground.
There was no Temple built there; it wasn’t the Vestry of a Church; it wasn’t the Office of the High Priest – It was an Ordinary Piece of Mud but suddenly it became an Holy Ground because the Heavens opened on that Ground!
And that suddenly brings to our Remembrance what can happen when we (I’m sure that we were made from on Ordinary Dust) all of a sudden the Heavens should open and we have Contact with God:
A. Genesis 2:7 tells us that when God breathes on Ordinary Mud and that Mud will become a Living Soul.
I. The Bible tells us how Mighty the Breadth of God can be.
In Ex8dus 15: 1-10; the Bible tells us that when He breathes on the Red Sea, the Red Sea Parted. When He breathes on water, the water frooze; creating a Part for the children of Israel to Pass through.
How Mighty will it be if God can just breathe on us today? Mighty unexpected Miracles can then happen; ways will begin to open; they will begin to move across Paths that anybody had never crossed before.
B. When God spits on Ordinary Mud, an Ordinary Mud will suddenly become a Miracle Performing Anointed Mud.
I. In John 9: 1-7, the Bible tells us that Jesus Christ saw a Man who was born blind; to Perform a Creative Miracle in his Life, all He had to do is that He spat on the Ground on an Ordinary Mud and suddenly that Mud became Anointed because the Bible says He anointed his eyes with the Mud.
A Great Man of God Schambach by name, who was used by God to Perform Mighty Miracles told us a Story of when they brought a Blind Man to him and as he was about to Pray for the Blind Man, God said: Spit on his eyes. And he says that how can a Man of God begin to spit on People? But God repeated it to him to spit on his eyes.
In obedience to the Almighty God, he spat on the face of the man and suddenly his eyes opened.
DMC NOTES: Robert William “R.W.” Schambach (April 3, 1926 – January 17, 2012) was an American Televangelist, Pastor, Word of Faith Minister of the Word and Author. His Television Program, Power Today, can be seen on the DayStar Christian TV Network as well as over the Internet in Streaming Podcasts.
It depends on who is spitting on you – I’m not asking you to make a Doctrine of that and go about spitting on People. But when the Almighty God spat on the Mud, a Creative Miracle can happen.
I don’t know about you; but if all that I need to do for God to solve all my Problems is for the Almighty God to spit on me. I will say: Father, just go ahead because I know that even the spitting from You can Change my Life Permanently!
II. When God spits to the Mud, when He spits on anything; that thing will become a Miracle Worker!
For Example in 2 Kings 5: 1-14; when the Man of God said to Naaman: Go and wash in Jordan. The moment the Word came out of the mouth of the Man of God, Power to heal went into the River Jordan.
River Jordan had not healed anybody before – It wasn’t a Healing River but the Word of God went ahead to turn that River to something that can remove the Reproach of any Mud that came in Contact with it.
You know the rest of the Story – Naaman argued and said: Jordan, that “Muddy River”; there are better Rivers where I came from. Can’t I go to those ones and wash and be Clean?
But the Word of God has not been spoken to those Rivers – The Word had been spoken to River Jordan!
I’m Praying today that God will speak to your Blood today and that your Blood will begin to Perform Miracles – Amen!
C. When the Almighty God touches:
I. For somebody who is an Ordinary Mud; Incredible things can happen.
Like in Mark 1: 40-45; you remembered the Story of a Leper who came to Him (Jesus Christ), asking Him to heal him – Saying that I know that You can do it but I am not sure that you are willing.
The Bible said that He says that I am willing and He touched him and immediately he was Cleansed.
II. He can restore Life even to a dead Man.
In Luke 7: 11-15; you remembered the Story of the Widow who was going to bury his only son and God touched the coffin.
And immediately, the Resurrection Power of the Lord flowed through that touch to the dead boy who was inside the coffin.
So, when He asked the boy to get up, He didn’t even have to touch the boy – He just siimply touched the Coffin.
There is so much Power in His Touch that even the dead can rise up as a result of it!
I am Praying today that even the Chairs that you are sitting on now will receive a Touch from God and that His Anointing will flow to the Chair to you and then Perform a Mighty Miracle!
I’m sure that you remembered the Story of when I went to the USA and one of my sons that I had known for a long time invited me to his house to come and eat. And I said that I will come because of our Relationship but it is a “Private Lunch” – No noise and he agreed.
And I got there and I found out that there were four (4) Sisters waiting and I was wondering how much food would I eat that you need to bring four (4) People together.
Anyway, I ate and I left. And after I left, the four (4) Sisters sat in turn on the Chair where I sat.
Now, it is not me but the God that I carried that sat with me on that Particular Chair.
And the four (4) Sisters were all barren. A year later, when I was back in that Place; three (3) of them were already carrying their children and the fourth (4th) one was already six (6) Months Pregnant.
I am Praying for you today that the Heavens will open unto you and the Almighty God will touch even the Chair you are sitting on now – Amen!
III. Now, the Almighty God touches 5 loaves of Bread and 2 Fishes in John 6: 5-13.
As He took these 5 loaves of Bread and 2 Fishes in His Hands and gave Thanks; the Bread and Fish began to multiply so rapidly that five thousand (5,000) Men, not counting Women and children were fed and there were still twelve (12) Baskets leftovers.
That tells us that a Touch of the Almighty God can Supply all the Needs of Human Beings!
We are talking of His Contact with the Mud now – He supplied the Needs of the Hungry Muds because we were made of Mud. So much such that there were twelve (12) Baskets leftovers.
I am Praying today that the Almighty God will touch your food at home and that from this moment onwards, you will always have More Than Enough – Amen!
IV. The last Point that I will give you of God touching an Ordinary Mud can be found in Jeremiah 18: 1-4 – In the Story of a Porter who was trying to make a Vessel out of a Particular kind of Mud called Clay.
And as he was making the Vessel, something happened and the Bible says that the Vessel was marred in his hands.
And he said: No Problem, I will make another Vessel as it Pleases me.
What does that tells us? – Just an Ordinary Touch from God of Heavens can rearrange the Destiny of all Human Beings.
Just a Touch from Him (God) and the Destiny that has been marred, a Destiny that has been spoilt, a Destiny that is no longer on Course can be rearranged so that something Glorious will still come out of it.
A. Only God knows how many of us are completely out of Course from where the Almighty God intends us to be.
B. Only God knows how many of us are no longer in anywhere near where God Planned for us to be.
But just a Touch from Him – That Touch that turned Ordinary Mud to Holy Ground can rearrange everything.
And I am Praying that before this Service is over or you finished reading this Message on the Label of DMC; if there is anything that has been wrong with your Destiny, may the Almighty God rearrange it – Amen!
That is why I am rejoicing with those of you who are already children of the Most High God for whom the Heavens will open today that the Almighty God will breathe on you or if He likes He can spit on you or if He likes He can lay His Mighty Hands on you.
I rejoice with you because I believed that today, something Miraculous, something Creative, something you are not even expecting will begin to happen in your Life – Amen.
It is also the reason that I’m calling on those of you who are yet to surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ; don’t miss this opportunity. By staying away from the God of Heavens, you are missing a lot.
Come to Him today, surrender your Life to Him and He can rearrange your Destiny!
ALTAR CALL
So, if you are listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not yet make Contact with the God of Heavens; the Bible says that: Taste and see that the Lord is Good!
So, as many of you that are willing to come and taste this God of Heavens – The God who can come when the Heavens open; bow your Head now, cry to Him and say: I have come to surrender my Life to you, I need Your Help, I want my Destiny rearranged so that I can reach the Goal that you originally Planned for me.

SPECIAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS ON BAYELSA STATE, RCCG REGION 27 BAYELSA FAMILY AND DEDICATION OF SAMPOU PAVILION @ SAMPOU IN KOLOKUMA/OPOKUMA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, BAYELSA STATE
THEME: SPECIAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS
MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE (GENERAL OVERSEER, RCCG WORLDWIDE)
DATE: 24TH JANUARY 2023
BIBLE TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 28:1
To usher Daddy GO to the Podium during his Special visit to Bayelsa State (State nicknamed as: Glory of all lands) was: Apostle King David Zily Aggrey (National Vice President, Pentecostals Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), South South Nigeria and The General Overseer, Royal House of Grace International Church; Port Harcourt Rivers State).
Well, let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Glory be to God! Be seated.
Rain is associated with Blessings!
In Deuteronomy 28:1; the Bible says that there are certain Blessings that must come to you and overtake you.
Deuteronomy 28:1: And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all Nations of the Earth:
And Rain is one Major Blessing!
As a matter of fact, in Ezekiel 34:26; the Bible when it want to talk about Abundance; it referred to it as “Showers of Blessings”.
Ezekiel 34:26: And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
And in the Book of Isaiah 55:10; the Word of God made it clear that we need Rain if we want to eat. It says because the Rain pours on the Land that there can be food for the Eaters.
Isaiah 55:10: For as the Rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
… So, Rain is a Blessing!
But the same Bible tells us in Joel 2:23 that this Rain must be given to us moderately.
Joel 2:23: Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first Month.
Because God Himself knows that if the Rain becomes too much, it can become a Problem!
So, when all of a sudden, we find ourselves almost having a “Great Flood”; then I see it as a wake up call that God is trying to get our attention to Pray!
That is why I told my children (DMC NOTES: The RCCG Region 27, Bayelsa Family) that I’m coming to Bayelsa State because like the State Governor said (DMC NOTES: The Governor of Bayelsa State is – His Excellency Senator Douye Diri); this State is very, very close to my Heart.
So close to my Heart that even here, I am a Landlord!
So, I said that I will come, we will Pray, we will cry to God for Mercy!
We can’t say to God that we don’t want Rain anymore – We need Rain. What we don’t want is a Flood.
So, we will cry to Him that Probably:
I. If we have done anything wrong; forgive us Oh Lord.
II. If there is something that we should have done that we have not done; open our Mind, open our eyes and open our Understanding to it so that we know what to do.
We can’t ask Him to stop the Rain but to Please stop the Flood – That is why I have come!
Now as usual with God, anytime He is Passing through or His Servant is Passiny through; Miracles can be distributed!
So, you are gathered here today by the Miracle of God, so that we can dedicate this Pavilion and at the same time for God to give you an opportunity.
You say: God, your Servant is Passing through. I need something Special about my Personal Problem that I want You to help me solve.
The whole State might be Rejoicing, Prospering and Blossoming – And we thank God for that; but there might be Individuals who are wearing “Beautiful Dresses” to cover serious Problems.
In Mark 5: 25-34; the Bible tells us of a woman with the Issue of Blood. She was sick – It was an “Incurable Sickness”. What was supposed to be a Blessing for the woman became a Curse.
Jesus Christ was Passing by, a Multitude was there but under the woman dress was Sickness, Sorrow, Poverty (because she has spent everything that she has), Loneliness, Fear of tomorrow etc.
But on that day, she reached out to Jesus Christ and she got a Miracle.
So before I came to this State (Bayelsa State), before I officially dedicate this Pavilion (Sampou Pavilion); maybe God has looked down from Heaven and has seen you that your Miracle can no longer wait.
That is why it is a very Big Prophesy that this can be your New Year Day
And it is not just talking about Year 2023, it is talking about the rest of your Life!
So, I’m going to give you two (2) Minutes to Pray Individually before we Pray for the State (Bayelsa State).
But remember that the Book of Isaiah 59: 1-2 made it clear that the Hand of the Lord is not Shortened that He cannot save, neither is His Ear heavy that He cannot hear; but if there is sin in your Life, when you cry to Him, He won’t hear you.
That is why God made Provision that even before you begin to cry unto Him:
I. The Obstructions to your Prayers be removed by sending His Son Jesus Christ to come and shed His Blood.
II. So that the Blood can Cleanse you from all sins.
III. So the Door can be opened for your Prayers to go Straight to the Ears of God and give you the answers to your Prayers.
ALTAR CALL
So, even if you are the only one here, but you know that you know that you are still living in sin and yet you want God to answer your Prayers today.
Because don’t let anybody deceived you – It will take a Big Miracle for me to come back here soon. But we are here today and so, let us make use of today.
So, if you want to surrender your Life to Jesus Christ so that His Blood can wipe away your sins; I will count from one (1) to four (4); Please come and Stand before this Altar.
Come and cry to God for the Salvation of your Soul and I will join my Faith with yours, Jesus will save your Soul and today will truly become a New Beginning for you for the rest of your Life.
So, come now very quickly!
Those of us infront and those on the way, let us cry to Jesus Christ and say: Lord Jesus, have Mercy on me, save my Soul, forgive all my sins and everything that is hindering my Prayer, Lord wash it away with Your Blood.
And the rest of us that are sure of our Salvation, Stretch your hands to these People – That the Lord who saved your Soul will save their own Souls also. Intercede for them Brethren.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Saviour, I want to bless Your Holy Name today on this Very Special Day that you have made. Thank You for arranging this Meeting. Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
Father, Please remember Your Words that whosoever will come to You, You will no wise cast out – These People has come to You now, Please receive them in Jesus Name, have Mercy on them, let Your Blood wash away their sins, save their Souls Lord, write their names in the Book of Life. And whatever may be their Problem(s); solve today.
I Pray Lord God Almighty that before this Day is out, they will become a Testimony. And I Pray that they will serve You till the very End.
Now my Father and my God, I’m also committing everyone here and those reading now on the Label of DMC into your Hands; in a moment I will ask them to cry to you for one Miracle or the other.
When they do, Please grant all their Requests!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
SPECIAL FATHER’S BLESSINGS ON BAYELSA STATE AND DEDICATION OF SAMPOU PAVILION
And now my Father and my God, I have come in Your Name to ask for Mercy on this Land (Bayelsa State):
If there is anything that we have done that is wrong, that could lead to Flood; Father Please forgive in Jesus Mighty Name.
If there is anything – It might not be known to us but known to You, that can create a situation where what is supposed to be a Blessing becomes a Curse; whatever is it, forgive us in Jesus Mighty Name.
I am Praying Lord God Almighty that for this Land (Bayelsa State); that in Your Own Miraculous Way, we will never have any form of Tragedy again and that from today onwards, my Father and my God, when the Rain falls for us, it will fall moderately.
I Pray Lord God Almighty that Nothing again will ever happen to us that will turn our Blessings to a Curse.
I Pray that if there is any form of Curses or Forces on this Land (Bayelsa State); let them be destroyed today in Jesus Name and that every Curse will become a Blessing.
Father, I’m Praying that You will bless this Land (Bayelsa State) like never before.
I Pray Lord God Almighty that anytime ww hear concerning this State (Bayelsa State) from today; it will be for Good News.
Lord God Almighty, if there is anything that we should do that we have not done to make sure that there won’t be any Problem again; Lord in Your Own Divine Way, reveal such to us in Jesus Name. And give us the Grace and the Ability to do it, even before the next Rainfall in Jesus Name.
So, my Father and my God, from now on: It will be well with this State (Bayelsa State); it will be well with our Governor (His Excellency Senator Douye Diri); it will be well with his family (The Governor’s family); it will be well with his Government (The Bayelsa State Government) and it will be well with anybody connected with this State (Bayelsa State).
All those who wish this State (Bayelsa State) well, let it be well with them.
And if there are Enemies of this State (Bayelsa State); Lord God Almighty, just fight our battles for us in Jesus Name.
I’m Praying Lord God Almighty that because of the Success of today; everyone here Present and those reading now on the Label of DMC; will be singing for Joy.
As we Dedicate this Sampou Pavilion to You today – In the Name of the Father, in the Name of the Son and in the Name of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Now the rest of us, I have already committed God that we are going to cry to Him for your “Individual Problems” and He will answer you.
It is now up to you – Whether you want to tell Him or you want to keep quiet about it.
But if I were you, I will Stand on my feet and I will shout Hallelujah to God – HALLELUJAH!
And I will lift up my Voice to Him and say: Father, this very Day; Solve all my Problems!
Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God!!!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

MOSES DURODOLA, TITILAYOMI AJAYI AND TOPE BABALOLA
Why don’t you lift your hands to Heaven and bless that Unchangeable Lord. The One Who is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The One Who has brought you here today to do something New in your life that only He can do.
Why don’t you Praise Him! Praise Him as if you are the only one here. Praise Him as if you are the only one who is grateful.
Worship Him, Adore Him! Give Him Glory, Give Him Honour, Give Him Adoration.
Praise Him as if you know Who is Worthy – Worthy to be Praised, Worthy to be Adored, Worthy to be Magnified.
Give Him Glory, give Him Honour, give Him Adoration.
Praise the King of kings, Praise the Lord of lords, Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him!
Thank you Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.
SONG:
Jesus is Alpha, Alpha and Omega; Jesus is Alpha, Alpha and Omega. So I’ll Praise Him for He’s Alpha Alpha and Omega; So I’ll Praise Him for He’s Alpha Alpha and Omega (Jesus)
Repeated!
Thank You Father!
The Lord asked me to tell someone here, or reading now on the Label of DMC:
That the very reason why He sent you to the world shall become known this Year (2023) – Amen.
OPENING PRAYER:
Ancient of Days we Worship You. The One Who was, the One Who is, the One Who is to come; we adore You.
The One Who has no Beginning and no Ending. The I AM THAT I AM, the All-sufficient God, we bow before You.
Accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name!
Father we Thank You for all You have done, Particularly in this Stadium in the Past and Thank You for what You are about to do now.
Thank You because You have the Power to do anything. Glory be to Your Holy Name.
Today in the lives of all Your children who are gathered here, in the lives of all Your children in the Rivers Family, in the lives of all Your children all over the world who are listening to us right now or reading now on the label of DMC;
Father do something New, do something Wonderful, do something Miraculous, do something Glorious.
Father I Pray that before this day is out, every one of us will have a Marvelous Testimony.
Concerning Your children who are here right now or reading now on the Label of DMC, I hereby Decree: every Plans of the devil concerning you is cancelled – Amen.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Well, let somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And then look around you, there may be one (1) or two (2) People you have not seen this year. Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) Persons and greet them Happy New Year!
… And then you may Please be seated.
And since I have not seen many of you, I also say Happy New Year to you all.
I want to Thank the Almighty God for Rivers State. The first time I came here as a Pastor was forty (40) years ago.
And on that Particular trip, at a Crusade that we held, God raised the dead.
And I am trusting Him that He will do it again today – Amen!
So, when the Deputy Governor, Dr (Mrs) Ipalibo Harry began to Prophesy, I said Glory be to God!
Thank God that you have a Deputy Governor who is full of the Holy Spirit.
I want to express my deep Appreciations to the Governor of Rivers State – Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (CON), because again and again he had made this Place available for us to use.
And I remembered very well that God gave him a Prophecy here too that has led to several things happening in Rivers State.
And I would want to tell him that as God lives – The God who can do all things again and again; that the Almighty God will continue to bless him – Amen!
Malachi 3:6. While you are opening your Bibles, let me greet all my Brothers and Sisters up here, Particularly the Chairman of CAN – His Grace, Most Rev. Dr. Dokiboeriya Bray Kaladokubo. Thank you very much Sir for coming.
And I want the Choir to know that as usual, you are very good!
And for the young man who was on before Pastor Kunle Ajayi came in, that was very good! We appreciate you. God bless you.
Malachi 3 is a Chapter of the Bible some People don’t like because of Verses 8-10. But Verse 6 is there and it says:
Malachi 3:6
For I am the LORD, I Change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
There is a God who does not Change – His Name is Jesus!
That is why the Bible says in Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.
I am going to be very brief today because what God wants to do He had already done it before.
One of the things He did is that He brought you here just to come and pick up what is yours, that you can only pick up right here.
That you are here at all, your case is already Settled.
So I will ask you to Please listen very carefully; in the very short Period of time that I’ll be talking to you today.
Psalms 91:1 describes God as the Most High and as the Almighty.
He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Most High means, He is Higher than the highest;
Almighty means, He has all Power – He can do all things.
Luke 1:37 says, For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Turn to your neighbour, Prophesy to him or her: My own will not be impossible with God – Amen!
And because He is also the Most High (and not just the Almighty) that is why the Bible says in Psalms 115:3 that our God is in the Heavens, He does as He Pleases.
You know He said, “Heaven is my Throne, the Earth is my footstool.”
If you think you are high, there is Someone who is Higher than you.
As a matter of fact, no matter how high you are, you are under His feet – The Earth is His footstool.
He is Sovereign, so He is free at anytime to say ‘Yes’ or to say ‘No’. And when He says ‘Yes’ Nobody can say ‘No’.
I don’t have all the time; so tell your neighbour once again: He is going to say ‘Yes” to my Prayers today!
When He opens a door, Nobody can shut it; when He shuts a door Nobody (and I mean Nobody) can open it.
So I can decree to you straightaway – Every door that the enemy thought they have short against you shall be opened today – Amen.
Because he’s so Powerful, so High, Original Majesty, the One that Nobody can say “what are You doing?”
He said in Romans 9:15-16, For he saith to Moses, I will have Mercy on whom I will have Mercy, and I will have Compassion on whom I will have Compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth Mercy.
… And if I choose to have Mercy on somebody and you don’t like it, sue me!
God is going to be Merciful to somebody tonight – Whether your enemies like it or not it is none of his business.
I want you to write this date down (22nd January 2023) – This is one date you will never forget for the rest of your life (22nd January, 2023).
… And I am saying that one to let you get one big point;
I must come before God today with Strong Faith.
Because no matter your Problem, no matter how ‘Big’ you think it is; that Problem is under His feet.
But you must come to Him with Humidity.
He will be Merciful unto whom He will be? Merciful! The Choice is His.
Come with Faith, come with Humility.
How ‘big’ your Problem is means Nothing to Him. In fact, the bigger your Problem, the happier He is. Because when He solves a Problem everybody will know that “only God can do this!”
Believe me honestly, before the end of this week; somebody is going to Sing and say, “Come and see what the Lord has done.”
If you are that one let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!!
Come to Him in absolute Humility – that is important!
… That is by way of Introduction.
“LORD DO IT AGAIN” is saying what?
YOU HAVE HEALED BEFORE, HEAL AGAIN.
Many of the Testimonies I would give you today are Testimonies that happened in Port Harcourt – So you will know that if He did it before in Port Harcourt, He will do it again where? In Port Harcourt!
In Matthew 8:1-3 a Leper came to Him (in Humility). He fell before Him and said, “I know You can heal me, I know!”
Because I know You have done it before – I have heard the Testimony of Naaman in 2 Kings 5:1-14. I know You can make a Leper Clean; that is why I have come to You on bended knees. I know You can if you want to.
And Jesus Christ said to him: Alright, since you know what I can do, I will do it for you.
TESTIMONY 1: God has cured the incurable before in Port Harcourt.
Forty (40) years ago, the best of Doctors in the best of Hospitals in London said to the Parents of a young man, “take your son home if you want him to see his Native Country again. He has at most two (2) weeks to live!”
They brought him to Nigeria; someone told them to take him to Redemption Camp.
When I saw him – because he had Cancer of the Jawbone – The head has swollen like a big keg of Palm wine.
The case had been so bad that he was hungry but the swelling had constricted his throat. It took him one (1) hour to drink a bottle of Fanta because he had to sip it little bit at a time.
You will know how young I must have been forty (40) years ago. I have never seen anything like that before – Even my Faith was shaken.
But then I knew that they have not brought him to me; they have brought him to the One Who can heal; the One Who can cure the incurable.
Today that young man (40 years later) is alive, he is well, he is married and have children.
So I am decreeing in the Name that is above every other name: If the Doctors have told you your case is incurable, the Doctors would be surprised – Amen.
If you have a Relation at home that they have told you there is no Hope for this fellow; before the Sun sets you will Testify – Amen.
HE HAD DELIVERED BEFORE, HE WILL DELIVER AGAIN.
In Matthew 15-21-28, a woman came to Jesus Christ and said, help me, have Mercy, include me among those who will receive Mercy. I am not the one in trouble, it is my daughter that was greviously vexed of the devil.
She worshipped Jesus, and Jesus said alright! Since you have believed me, go home your daughter is well.
TESTIMONY 2: He has done it before in Port Harcourt!
I came here 1989 to Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International Convention, and a Lady there went home with an Anointed Handkerchief.
I won’t tell you how she got it, so I don’t get into trouble when I am going home. And in any case, you don’t have to get it through her own Method .
You will go home with every Piece of dress on you Anointed – Amen.
She got home and she had this little flimsy Sister -:Raving mad! It took six (6) men to hold her down. She got home and said, ‘just give me space I’ve got something.’ And she laid that Anointed Handkerchief on the girl. And immediately, she became normal.
Today, in the Name of the One Who is called the Unchangeable Changer: if there are Forces of Darkness trying to hold you down, when you shout the next hallelujah you will be free – HALLELUJAH.
How did the woman know that there is Deliverance in the Lord?
Because she read the Testimony of Nebuchadnezzar – He was mad for seven (7) years but God set him free!
I have Good News for you – It doesn’t matter how long the family enemies have been waging War against you; if they don’t let you go (before you get home today) they should get ready for the grave – Amen.
HE HAS PROVIDED BEFORE, HE WILL PROVIDE AGAIN.
In 2 Kings 4:1-7; a Widow of one of the Sons of the Prophet was totally bankrupt, and the Creditors were coming to sell the only thing of Value in her home – That is the two (2) boys.
She ran to the Man of God because she knew God had Provided before. She heard the Testimony of what happened in 1 Kings 17:8-16, of another Widow who had only one meal left for herself and the son and God stepped in. And what was to be the Last Meal became the first.
She ran to the Man of God, “help me, your God has done it before, He could do it again.”
I have Good News for you my Beloved children – God has Provided before, He will Provide for you again – Amen.
Somebody in Particular should pay special attention now because God is coming your way directly.
TESTIMONY 3: He has done it before in Port Harcourt.
We were having a Program like this and God spoke and said: “There is someone here you will have two (2) measure Financial Breakthroughs in quick successions.”
And God continued and said – The first belong to Him (God). The second will take care of all your Financial Problems.
Quite a crowd there! And there was a Widow in the Meeting with seventeen (17) children living with her. She was seriously in debt. I mean she was not owing in Naira but in Pounds Sterling. That was serious debt!
She was at the Meeting, she heard the Word and said, Lord God Almighty you fished me out!
She came back to Port Harcourt, within days she got a Major Financial Breakthrough and ran to me at the Camp and brought the money. I told her, sorry I can’t take this money. She asked why?
I mean, I know your situation – You have some seventeen (17) mouths to feed. I know how badly in debt you are.
And I am talking of money that was frightening in those days. Talking about early 1980s. And the woman came with over Two hundred thousand Naira (N200,000). And in those days the Naira was stronger than the Pound.
Those days will return again – Amen!
You better say Amen loud and clear – AMEN!!
So I told her, I am sorry I can’t take it. God said two (2), so go and wait for the second one to come! She looked at me and said “Daddy I thought you love me?” I said I do! She said “if I don’t obey God for the first time how will the second one come?”
So, I said alright, I got your Point. I took the money, but I didn’t touch it. Forgive me if you say my Faith was little.
May God increase your Faith – Amen.
It wasn’t long after that, that the Second one came! They wrote her a letter from London – From the Bank that the late husband was owing:
“Oh, we have discovered that we made a mistake – Your husband is not owing us, we are the ones owing him.”
“… Made a mistake financially in London? Are you kidding me!
But there is a God who can Change Books around; there is a God who can catch the Wise in their Wisdom and turn their Wisdom to Foolishness.
“Your husband is not owing us, we are the ones owing him. Come and collect your money!”
I am talking of a daughter of mine in Port Harcourt who ended up becoming a Member of the Board of a very big Bank.
Listen to me very carefully, this is not an Ordinary day.
There is someone here God wants me to tell you, within the next thirty (30) days you’re going to have two (2) Mighty Financial Breakthroughs – Amen.
Daddy also asked me to tell you that He would make things easy – Amen!
He says you can spend the first one, and it will take care of your Financial Problems.
He asked me to tell you: The second one belongs to Him one hundred Percent (100%).
If you believe you are the one God is talking to, do I hear your Amen – Amen!
… He has Provided before, He will Provide again – Alright!
Thank You Father!
Daddy asked me to telling someone; He said you will understand as soon as you hear.
He said, that Project will be completed this Year (2023) – Amen.
HE HAS REVERSED THE IRREVERSIBLE BEFORE AND HE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
In John 11 (read the whole Chapter) – It is a Story you know very well.
It is the Story of Lazarus, who died and was buried four (4) days before Jesus arrived.
Thank You Father!
Well, let me say Amen to this one before I tell you.
The Lord asked me to tell someone: I will Shine my Light on your Path – Amen!
By the time Jesus arrived, the Sister of Lazarus said, “Lord if only You had come on time my brother would not have died: But I know that even now whatever You ask God He will do it for You.”
Where did she get that kind of Statement from?
What she was saying is – You have reversed the irreversible before, and I know You can do it again.
Because definitely, they would have read Ezekiel 37:1-11, when God spoke to dry bones through His Prophet (Ezekiel).
The Bible says, the bones were not just dried, they were very dry! And yet they lived again.
I have Good News for somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC: Every irreversible good thing that has happened to you, would be reversed – Amen.
TESTIMONY 4:
I have to give you a Testimony – This one is not actually in Port Harcourt, but we can claim it.
Some of you have heard the Testimony of a daughter of mine, married to a very wealthy man and completely barren.
After running up and down for a while somebody very close to the husband called him and said, stop wasting your money we have removed the Womb of your wife, she’s not going to have a baby. Then she came to a Program like this and the Word of God came.
Today, God will send His Word to you – Amen.
The Word of God came – There is someone here, they said you can never have a baby: God says “I will give you a set of twins – Amen!”
… So she jumped at it because she said, that must be me.
To cut a long Story short, she became Pregnant; went to the Doctor. The doctor said, “I don’t know what’s going on but there seems to be somebody in there.” She said, not one fellow, in there are the two (2) of them. “You better Thank God for the one!”
She went back about two (2) or three (3) Months later, the Doctor said, “I don’t know what happened, but there are two (2) of them now.”
And because they were Wealthy, they decided they were not going to try having the babies in Nigeria. “We don’t want any accident!”
So they went to United Kingdom, and the husband told the doctors, I don’t want Labour – I don’t want the case of “the children died during Labour.” Just operate my wife and bring them out. The two (2) children will be enough for us. And as soon as you finish remove the womb.
And then they put her to sleep! By the time she woke up she said, “where are my children?”
Because everybody was looking at her as if she came from Mars!
What is the Problem? Where are my children? They said, your children are fine. So they sent for the Doctor. He came and said: “I have been Practicing Medicine – I have helped several thousands of women deliver their babies; but this is the first time that I brought out a set of twins and there is no Womb.”
He wanted to seal up the Womb, but search everywhere, no Womb. We rejoiced!
And then a couple of years ago I got a Phone call from her (by then the twins are grown).
Hello Daddy! I said, how are you my dear? Long time no see! “I want to come and greet you with my twins.” I said, you are welcome – I have not seen them all these years.
And then she came and brought a new set of twins: Talk of Double Portion! Talk of Double-Double.
Every irreversible case in your Life will be reversed, and the Almighty God will bless you – Amen.
Thank You Daddy.
The Lord asked me to tell someone: That arrow fired at you, I will pull it out now – Amen!
I knew today is going to be Special.
Because the Lord asked me to tell someone: The Poison you ate in your Dream has been Neutralised – Amen.
In 1 Samuel 17:34-51 you have a real Classical Case of God will do it again.
David said to King Saul, I was a young boy looking after my father’s sheep, a Lion came, took one of the sheep, I grabbed it by the beard and punch it to death. Then a bear came and wanted to take another one, I grabbed it and punch it to death.
Then he made a Statement: “The Lord that delivered me from the Lion and from the Bear, He will do it again: as far as this Goliath is concerned he is dead!”
In the Name of the One Who called me, every Goliath standing in your way will die – Amen!
I can tell Stories upon Stories; but I feel the Holy Spirit saying to me that the Wind of God wants to blow – so I will get out of the way.
Thank You Father!
The Lord asked me to tell Someone – And I believe He is talking about me (so I can say Amen before I tell you).
He asked me to tell you: Your Star will begin to Shine Brighter – Amen!
… Let me conclude by telling you that;
HE HAS ANSWERED PRAYERS BEFORE, HE WILL ANSWER AGAIN.
How many of you believe God is going to answer your prayers today? – The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!
Let me hear you shout a really big hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!
You see, the Word of God says in Isaiah 59:1-2 – Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
ALTAR CALL
That is why before we Pray (and we are going to Pray in a moment). But before we try to this Almighty, All-sufficient God to do again what He has done before;
If you know you are still living in sin, come to Jesus Christ now and let His Blood wash away your sins.
This is not a joking matter. This is not an ordinary Holy Ghost Rally – This one is Special.
If you have not surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ or you claim that you have surrendered to Him before but you are still living in sin, I beg you do so now. And let us Pray for the Salvation of your Soul.
There is a Blood that cannot Change – The Blood of Jesus Christ Cleanses us from all sin.
Come now, if you want to surrender your Life to Jesus Christ – We will Pray and the Almighty God will wash away your sin with His Precious Blood.
And then when we cry to Him, whatever He has done for others, He will do it again for you.
He will do it again today – He will save Souls today, He will heal again today, He will Provide again today, He will deliver again today, He reverse the reversible again today and He will answer Prayers again today!
But you must come to Him so that His Blood can wash away your sins.
And thank you those of you are clapping – Your hands will never be empty in Jesus Name – Amen.
Cry unto God wherever you are now (or reading this Message on the Label of DMC) – Ask Him to be Merciful unto you; ask Him to forgive your sins; ask Him to save your Soul. Cry to Him!
Begin to talk to Him. Say Lord have Mercy on me, I need Your Salvation today. You have saved Souls before, save my own Soul also.
Let Your Blood wash away my sin and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
Now, the rest of us, let’s stretch our hands towards these Brethren and intercede for them – Pray that the One Who saved our Souls would do it again by saving the Souls of these People. Intercede for them Brethren!
Oh, Thank You my Father! Do it again Lord – Save Souls today, forgive my sins Lord, give me the Grace never to sin again. I want to be a True Child of the Living God; give me Genuine Salvation, save my Soul today!
Thank You Father! Glory be to God. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
My Father and my God I want to bless Your Holy Name.
I want to Thank You for Your Word; and I Thank You For the Power that is in Your Word.
It is written, You sent Your Word and You healed; You sent Your Word and You delivered.
This is Your Word that has brought these People to the Father; Accept our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name!
Father remember Your Word, You Promise that whosever will come on to You, You will in no wise cast out. They have come to You now;
Father Please, receive them, have Mercy on them, let Your Blood wash away their sins, save their souls Oh Lord, and receive them into the Family of God.
From now on, any time they cry until You, answer them by Fire!
Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Now, those of you who have just surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
I rejoice with you, because from now on (by the Grace of God); I will be Praying for you. That is why I will need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.
God Bless You!
We are going to Pray one Prayer together.
Now, those of you who believe that today is your day, and without any doubt this Program is for you, Stand on your feet and shout a big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!!
I am going to Pray for you first – And that Prayer is going to open the Door of Heaven. After that, you will now Pray your own Prayer.
Your Prayer will be Simple – You are going to say: Lord, have Mercy on me and whatever Miracles You have Performed before, that You know I need, do it again in my Life.
… So, you’ll lift your hands to Him because I’m going to Pray for you now.
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father my God I want to Bless Your Holy Name!
Ancient of Days, Thank You for arranging for this very Special Holy Ghost Rally in Port Harcourt – Thank You Father!
Now Daddy, I am Praying for everyone of Your Children here today and all those reading now on the Label of DMC;
Very soon they will begin talking to You – They will be telling You their Individual Problems:
As they cry unto You my Father and my God, answer them all.
The only Miracle I am asking for myself today Lord is that: each and everyone of these Your children will receive their Miracles.
Daddy, if there is one Miracle that You have made up Your Mind to give to me today, instead of giving it to me; give it to these Your People; answer them by Fire!
Before the Sun sets today, let every mouth here be full of Testimonies. And let them serve You forever!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Then go ahead, open your mouth and talk to the Almighty God.
Say: Father, have Mercy on me, include me among those People who would receive Mercy from You today. And every Miracles You have ever done before for others, do it again for me.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God.
Open your mouth and cry to the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is listening to you.
God Bless You!

COMPILATIONS BY:
MOSES DURODOLA, TITILAYOMI AJAYI AND TOPE BABALOLA
We give Glory to the Lord He reigns We give Glory to the Lord He reigns He reigns, He reigns, He reigns We give Glory to the Lord He reigns
OPENING PRAYER
Our Father and our God, King of Glory, the One who is Glorious in Holiness, Fearful in Praises, Wonder Working God; we Worship You.
Thank You most sincerely for everything that You have done for us Particularly since the Year began. We trust that You that has kept us thus far, You will keep us all the way through. Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
As Your Children gather to You again today, I Pray that in Your Own Miraculous Way, You will open the Heavens to us, let some very “Unique Miracles” begin to happen in our lives.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
We want to continue our Series on: “FOR WHOM THE HEAVENS OPEN – PART 3. And we will still be discussing a little bit further about Abraham – The one for whom he Heavens opened!
Our Bible Text this time around is going to be from Genesis 18: 17-21.
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a Great and Mighty Nation, and all the Nations of the Earth shall be blessed in him?
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do Justice and Judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
When we were discussing about Abraham in the Part 2 of this Series; we spoke about the fact that Abraham was one of the People for whom the Heavens opened for. That God lives in Heaven and for Him to come and visit Abraham, the Heaven has to open, God has to get up, God has to travel and when God is travelling, Miracles are distributed et cetera et cetera.
DMC NOTES: We can get to read the Full Text of the Part 2 Message on this Series on this Link below:
But the Question is: Who exactly is Abraham? What is it that God saw in Abraham that caused the Heavens to opened to him?
Abraham according to Romans 4:16 is called “The Father of Faith” – Which means that he is an Example of a “True Believer”.
That if you are looking for a Role Model for all Christians, all Believers then use Abraham as their Role Model.
Isaiah 51: 1-2, made that clear – That those of you who want to do the Will of God, should just remember Abraham.
If you don’t know what to do, doubtful of what step(s) you should take and you want to do the Will of God; consider Abraham.
Who is Abraham?
This Abraham is someone so Special that God Testified of him.
In Genesis 18:19; God said: I know him – That is a serious one.
Because I remembered very clearly that during the latter time of my father-in-the-Lord; several Companies in Nigeria will come to him at Ebute Metta (RCCG National Headquarters Parish) and say: We need an Accountant or Cashier or whatever they needed – Somebody that can be trusted. That so and so from your Church has applied for this or that Post, what do you say about him? And daddy will say in a very Clever way: Bro so and so applied to you? – Yes. He says that he is a Christian.
Do you know what that means? – I am not giving you my assurance but he has said that he is a Christian.
But occasionally, they will mention somebody else and he will say: Ha, he is a True Child of God – That is a Testimony.
Oh, how wonderful will it be if the Almighty God is to write your Testimonial today and say: Bro so and so, is my son; Sister so and so is my daughter.
You see, for you to know the Gravity of that Statement: “I know him” – I have given this illustration before that in a King’s house (At least in the Olden days in my Nation); you have all manners of children because the King in those days will have many wives. So many that he will not be able to Minister to them appropriately. And there are People in the Palace who come for business – High Priest, the Chief Herbalist etc and they help the King to Minister to the wives.
And when the children are born, anybody with eyes can see clearly – This child is not born by the King. But because he/she is born in the Palace, he is a Prince or she is a Princess.
And many of the People who has been helping the King to Minister are the People the King cannot fight because they are the backbone of the Kingdom – You can’t fight your Chief Warrior or your Chief Herbalist. You know what they have done, but you can’t do anything about it.
And so when the King receive Visitors and the “Host King” is introducing the children one by one to the “Visiting King”; he would say to the “Visiting King”, this boy is a Prince, this girl is a Princess and then he will say this is my son/daughter.
The “Visiting King” understands – That he is a Prince because he was born in the Palace and not my son; that she is a Princess she was born in the Palace but not my daughter. But this is my son/daughter; without any doubt he/she is my own.
So, if you want the Heavens to open unto you, you must live a Life that will cause the Almighty God to say that without any doubt; this boy, this girl is mine!
Not only somebody that God Testified about, God said that I can’t even hide from him what I am about to do – Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
My Beloveth, this year you need to sit down and re-arrange your race to Heaven:
I. Get yourself to that Stage where you can hear from God yourself.
II. You need to get yourself to that Stage where God will no longer hide anything from you.
Jesus Christ said that: I know my Sheep, my Sheep knows me and they hear my Voice.
You don’t have to be a Prophet to hear from God – All you need to be is to be a Child of God.
And this is going to be the year when the Almighty God will open many ears.
And I’m Praying that He will open your ears today so that you too will begin to hear from God – Amen!
What does this mean – I know him, I can’t hide anything from him. That simply means that: He is my friend!
In John 15:15; Jesus Christ said to the Disciples: I no longer call you Servant. He said that I have called you my friend because everything that I hear from my father I have told you.
You want to be a friend of God; this Year is giving you an Incredible Opportunity to become his friend.
Not just his friend, but His “Favourite Friend”.
There are friends and there are friends – In John 13: 21-26 at the Last Supper. When Jesus Christ sat down with His Disciples and they just finished eating. And He said: One of you People will betray me and everybody was saying who can it be? And Jesus Christ wasn’t answering.
The Bible says that Peter beckoned to John the Beloveth and say: Ask Him, He will tell you even if He may not tell the rest of us.
It is a Glorious Thing” to be able to say: My daddy didn’t tell me that; it is a “Beautiful Thing”; it is something that shows that by the Special Grace of God, you are very Special to God; that you can’t be deceived by any Prophet no matter the Title he calls himself – “Most Senior Prophet”.
Let him Prophesied; you must be in a Position to be able to say: Well, I am not doubting any Prophet but my daddy did not tell me that.
I Pray for everyone of my children that the Position where you will hear the Secret of God yourself; the Almighty God will bring you there – Amen.
But Abraham wasn’t just somebody God just Testified about, he wasn’t just a friend of God, he wasn’t just a “Favourite Friend” of God; God said concerning him in Genesis 15: 1 – God said that “I am your Reward”.
For the Almighty God to say to you – We are not talking about me Rewarding you with money or with Position or Earthly Promotions; I will be your Reward!
If you have the Almighty God, the All Sufficient God as your Reward, what else can you ever lack?
I told you before that when I became General Overseer and things were very tough and I finally collected my Gratuity for having served the Government for twenty nine (29) years and the money was a lot then, especially when you had Nothing. And I was Planning how to spend the money; which one I will save and so on and so forth and hoping that before I finished the money, the Church would have at least grown a bit.
And God spoke to me and said: Divide the money into three (3) Parts. He said give this one to this Ministry, give this one to that Ministry, give the third to that Ministry.
While I was trembling, He said to me: Son, I will be your Source. This is why Nobody can ever find out my Source because it is God!
I Pray for everyone of my children: May the Almighty God be your Reward – Amen!
Who is Abraham?
The Bible tells us that God is the God of Abraham. It says the God of Abraham is not the God of the dead but the God of the Living.
Abraham is the first to learn one of the names of God – I mean that the Relationship was such that God introduced Himself to Abraham.
In Genesis 17:1, God spoke to him and said: Abraham, my Name is “Jehovah El-Shaddai”.
The Relationship must have been really intimate that God said: Listen, I am the God who is More Than Enough, I am the All Sufficient God, I am your Mother’s Breast, I am the God who is Inexhaustible!
Abraham is the first Fellow to have a “Covenant Relationship” with God.
Genesis 17: 2-4; the Almighty God told Abraham: I will make a Covenant with you.
I hope some of you know the meaning of a Covenant – It is an Agreement Signed in Blood; an Agreement that cannot be broken!
One of the reason that Jesus Christ became Man is for the Almighty God to finally have somebody who can shed his Blood to make sure that a Covenant that has started from the beginning can fully be finalised.
Many of us know Particularly those who are Members of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); that the reason this Church is succeeding this way is because of the Covenant between God and her Founder – It has Nothing to do with Pastor Adeboye.
God saw a man who was worshipping an Idol, grabbed him, saved his Soul and told him that I will start a Church through you that will go throughout the whole world. All I want you to do is the following – And He told him.
And my father-in-the-Lord fulfilled his own Part of the Covenant and God is not going to break His own.
So, if you are trying to find out the Secret of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); go to God to find out.
And then Abraham was the first Fellow to have his name Changed by God.
His name used to be “Abram” but God Changed it “Abraham”.
And I have spoken to you before about the importance of names.
You know Moses – Moses mean “I pull him out of the water”.
And you know the Part that water Played in the Life of Moses:
I. Moses Changed water to Blood.
II. Moses brought out water from the Rock.
III. And why Moses could not get to the Promised Land was because of water.
God looked at Abraham and said: No, I Changed your name from Abram to Abraham – Genesis 17:5.
Oh, how I wish that if your name is causing Problem in your Life, God will give you the Grace to Change that name today – Amen!
But what is that something that must be “Extra Special” about this Abraham? Something about him that is kind of Unique?
Because I want the Heavens to open to me just as it opened to Abraham.
Oh yes, there are quite a bit that is Special about Abraham?
I. He was a Covenant Keeping Man – A Covenant Keeper.
In Genesie 17: 9-13; the Almighty God said: Okay, my Covenant with you is that all the Male children in your family and even those living in your house, must be circumcised.
And Abraham was ninety nine (99) years when he was circumcised – Genesis 17: 23-24.
And there is no Anaesthetics in those days – A ninety nine (99) years old man? I could imagine the Pains.
When I was born, there was no Anaesthetics then too but they do the circumcision very early in Life before you really know the full meaning of Pain. And Mama (Mother) is there to shock your mouth with Breast.
So as you are trying to cry, a little bit of Milk is settling into your mouth.
This man was ninety nine (99) years old when circumcised – He was indeed a Covenant Keeper.
DMC NOTES: Anaesthesia means “loss of sensation”. Medicines that cause Anaesthesia are called Anaesthetics. Anaesthetics are used during tests and surgical operations to numb sensation in certain areas of the body or induce sleep. This prevents pain and discomfort, and enables a wide range of Medical Procedures to be carried out.
DMC NOTES: Circumcision is a Procedure that removes the foreskin from the human penis. In the most common form of the Operation, the foreskin is extended with forceps, then a circumcision device may be placed, after which the foreskin is excised.
II. It will interest you to know as recorded in Genesis 14: 13-20 that Abraham was the first Person to Pay Tithe.
And he Paid it Voluntarily as there was no Law then for those who say that Tithing is of the Lord. The Law did not come until more than four hundred and thirty (430) years later.
What are you talking about? Exodus 12:40 says: Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
The children of Israel were in Egypy for four hundred and thirty (430) years – That is not to talk about the years between Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Joseph added.
But at least we know that four hundred and thirty (430) years, the children of Israel were in Egypt before Moses brought them out. And the Law of Tithimg came by Moses.
So, long before the Law came; Abraham Voluntarily Paid Tithe!
So, you want to be the Seed of Abraham; Galatians 3:29 says: If you belong to Christ, then you are of the Seed of Abraham – Like father like son!
III. According to Genesis 22: 1-18; he was the first to give the first Fruit Sacrifice.
God said to Abraham: Your son Isaac; that you Love, your Only son – God made him to realised that I know that you have two (2) children but one is of Covenant (Isaac) and not that one that came by manipulation. That is the one I want.
Abraham gave his First Fruit Sacrifice, “Donkey Years” before Solomon said in Proverbs 3: 9-10 that you should honour the Lord with your First Fruit.
Why? There is something about this Abraham that is Godly, something about his Nature that is almost Divine.
Because in John 3:16; God gave you an Example of First Fruit Sacrifice – For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son.
IV. Abraham was a Lesson in Purity; Particularly where Marriage is concerned.
Because there are lot of Young People today who believed that they can marry anybody from anywhere; Provided that he/she says he/she is a Christian.
Read Genesis 24: 1-end – Abraham said to his Servant: Go back to my Root and get me somebody from amomg my People as wife for my son.
Don’t just marry anybody saying this is a Christian. Ask yourself: Do you share the same background?
Because when we talk of Purity – Something is only Pure when there is no Blemish at all.
If a big bucket of water is full of clean water and then a woman carrying a baby mistakenly drop a little bit of faeces from the baby into the water; that water is no longer drinkable.
The Almighty God meant for His Children: Purity, No Blemish, No Spot, No Wrinkle – All these things are in Abraham!
Let me Conclude: Galatians 3: 13-14; it tells us that Christ has delivered us from the Curse of the Law that the Blessings of Abraham (The Heavens that opened to Abraham) can come to yoi too.
The Channel is Jesus Christ – No other way!
ALTAR CALL
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, it is up to you – You give your Life to Jesus Christ, you want to live your Life after the Pattern of Abraham.
It is up to you – You do that, the Heavens that opened to Abraham will open unto you. And one day, it will be said of you: He/She is a friend of God.
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ – Ask the Almighty God to have Mercy on you, to save your Soul, ask Him to Please Plug you in the same Lineage with Abraham so that all the Blessings can be for you.
Let Us Pray!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
Almighty God, I want to bless Your Holy Name for Your Words. Thank You for speaking to Your Children. I bless You because the Blessings of Abraham is available to all those who are “True Children” of God, who are willing to Pattern their lives after the “Father of Faith”.
And I am Thanking You especially for those who has come forward to surrender their lives to You today.
Father, Please receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away all their sins, receive them into the Family of God and let the Blessings of Abraham begin to flow through them. Don’t let them ever backslide.
All Backsliders who has decided to come back to You, Please receive them all.
And I’m Praying for everyone of us who are yours in Spirit and in Truth, that the Grace to follow the footsteps of Abraham, so that we can become a “Trusted Friend” of yours, you will give unto us today.
I Pray that very soon, it will be said of us: Oh, this Fellow we know him/her; he/she belongs to God.
So, let it be Oh Lord.
And I Pray that as Your Children will cry to You today; the Heavens will open to them.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!!!
