  • THE NAME ABOVE OTHER NAMES – RCCG ROYAL FATHERS CONVENTION 2024(DAY2) – PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    THE NAME ABOVE OTHER NAMES – RCCG ROYAL FATHERS CONVENTION 2024(DAY2) – PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    THE RCCG ROYAL FATYERS’ CONVENTION 2024

    THEME: THE NAME ABOVE OTHER NAMES

    MINISTERING (DAY 2): PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    DATE: 23RD NOVEMBER 2024

    BIBLE TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 2: 9-11

    SONG

    I have a Father
    Almighty Father
    He is King of kings and Lord of lords
    I have a Father.

    OPENING PRAYER

    King of kings and Lord of lords, the All Sufficient God, the One who lives Forever – We Your Children are saying: Good Morning to You today!

    Thank You for Your Goodness, Thank You for Your Mercy, Thank You for all the Blessings that we have received and Thank You for what You will yet do before we leave – Please, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

    This Morning Lord, we Pray that You will send Your Words to us and Your Words will bring Healings to us and bring us Deliverance.

    And at the end of everything Lord, let Your Name be Glorified.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    I want you to shake hands with your Neighbours right and left and Prophesy to them: I will see you here Next Year (2025).

    Then you may Please be seated.

    I want to Thank the Almighty God for bringing us together again this Year (2024) – Like I said on Friday Day 1, it is a Sure Sign that God loves us.

    The Meetijg for this Year (2024) would not have hold but for the Love of God for us because there were Developments far away from home that could have led to the cancellation of this Meeting. But the Lord said that rather than cancelling the Event, Postpone it.

    That is why you have a Change in the date because God loves you and He wants you to be Blessed.

    I want to use this opportunity to say Thank You to those of you who had Voluntarily Contributed towards this Convention – Those who sent bags of rice, those who sent cows without anybody asking you.

    Thank You very much!

    I can assure you that God will Reward you a Hundredfold – Amen!

    Philippians 2: 9-11:

    1. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
    2. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth;
    3. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.

    Everything that has a name must bow to the Name of Jesus and every knees must bow to the Name of Jesus!

    1. Sickness must bow to the Name of Jesus.

    Sickness is a name – The worst one Probably is what they call Cancer.

    But Cancer is a name and there is Someone who has a Name above all names – And His Name is Jesus!

    And He is the One who is a Great Physician.

    In Exodus 15:26; He says that I am the Lord that healeth thee.

    And He made a Promise that if you will just obey me, I can see to it that you never falls sick again.

    There are Rulers among us here that I thought that they will seize the opportunity to Testify that: Humanly Speaking should not be alive today. But we cried to Jesus and He swallowed their Sickness and they are here today rejoicing.

    And I want to decree in the Name of the One who called me – If you came here with any form of Sickness; you won’t go back with it – Amen!

    I want to even go further and say: Because you came, for the rest of your Life you will know no Sickness – Amen!

    Somebody says that if you don’t fall sick, how are you going to die?

    After you have lived your Life according to how God desired – Because we know that it is Appointed unto Man to once die (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 9:27). When it is time for you to go, you will not go through Sickness.

    You will be Healthy, and you will be Strong.

    You will wake up in the Morning, bless your children, eat your favourite food and then go.

    None of you will suffer before you die – Amen.

    Why? Because the name of any Sickness must bow to the Name of Jesus.

    Please I want you to believe God with me that Sickness will become a Stranger to your Palace – Amen!

    1. Demons must bow to the Name of Jesus.

    Because according to Psalms 24: 7-10; the One who is called Jesus is also called the Lord of Hosts – He is the Lord of all Hosts.

    ☆ There are Hosts in Heaven – We call them Angels.

    ☆ There are Hosts on Earth

    We have the People that we call the Military.

    The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) by the Grace of God is Practically in every Nations of the world.

    And I have visited a Nation – A very small Island, Probably the only you can say has no Army.

    They have what they call the Police – Twenty five (25) Big Policemen and they have the Inspector General of Police (IGP) among the twenty five (25).

    Their Prisoners goes home every Weekend and come back on Mondays.

    But they have their own Host – They call them Police.

    ☆ And then of course we have Hosts underneath the Earth – Demons, Marine Spirits, Witches and Wizards. Their own Captain is the Devil.

    But even Demons they are called by a name and so they must bow to the Name of Jesus.

    When you read the Book of Job Chapters 1 and 2; you will discovered that before Satan could touch Job, he asked for Permission from God.

    And when God gave him Permission, He told him that thus far you can go as you can’t go beyond this Limit.

    And so, some People think that God can give Evil Forces Permission to attack a Christian but that is not true – Job was a Servant but we are Children. You don’t Perform Experiments with your children.

    When I was living in Mushin (A City in Lagos State Nigeria) several years ago and several Hoodlums were living around at that time and Police were not coming to anybody rescue; those of us in the Compound decided to have what we called Vigilante.

    And so, we asked every family to nominate Somebody so that they will be going around at Night to Protect everybody.

    I noticed one thing – People nominated are Servants. Some are Drivers, Messengers etc; nobody nominated his child.

    DMC NOTES: Vigilante is a Member of a Self-Appointed Group of Citizens who undertake Law Enforcement in their Community without Legal Authority, typically because the Legal Agencies are thought to be inadequate. The word comes in the mid 19th Century from Spanish, and means literally ‘Vigilant’.

    The Almighty God is not going to nominate you for Satan to deal with.

    All demons no matter how many they are, they must bow to the Name of Jesus!

    There was a Man in Mark 5: 2-20 – He had what the Bible called a Legion of demons.

    But when that Man saw Jesus Christ coming; with all the demons in him, he fell at His feet and Worshipped Jesus Christ.

    Why? Because even the demons recognise that the One coming is the Lord of Hosts.

    I decree today that by the time you get home; all the demons tormenting your Kingdom they will bow to Jesus Christ – Amen!

    There was a Town – It is the Capital City of a State in Nigeria and in this Capital City, there was no Pipe Borne water.

    When I went there, they housed me in Government House Quarters and they had to bring out water from a Well for me to bath.

    How can this be?

    But as I was driving to the Crusade Ground, I saw a huge tree in the center of the Town and they had to bend the road round the tree by both right and left.

    I said what is happening? Why is a tree allowed to stay here and divert the road?

    Ha, that is the Representative of the idols in the Town and I said: Oh, I can now understand why things are so bad.

    And I told them – If my God is still on the Throne, that tree will not be there by tomorrow.

    You know the kind of Statement that you will make and your children will say “Amen” – They say Amen as if to say: Daddy, you must be joking.

    We finished the Crusade, we got back home and then a Storm began. By the following Morning, that tree was lying flat on the Ground.

    I decree to you today – Because you have come to honour God; any Evil Tree in your Kingdom will not be Standing by tomorrow – Amen!

    1. Every Storm must bow to the Name of Jesus!

    Because the One who is called Jesus is also the One called the Prince of Peace.

    Isaiah 9:6 tells us that His Name shall be called the Prince of Peace.

    And He said in John 14:27 – He said: My Peace I give unto you, not as the one that the world will give. But I am giving you my Peace.

    Anything called Storm, Trouble, Crises of any type – Whether it is of Human Nature; because I understand that in some Kingdoms now your People are afraid to farm because if they Plant, some People will wait till it is Harvest Time and then bring their animals to come and eat up the Harvest.

    As God lives – Mark my words; in your Kingdom, that is over now (Amen).

    When you Plant, you will Harvest and you will enjoy your Harvest – Amen.

    In Mark 4: 35-41; the Bible tells us that when Jesus Christ was Sleeping in a boat, there was a Storm and it looks as if the boat is going to sink.

    And they woke up Jesus Christ and He spoke a Word: “Peace be Still” and there was Peace immediately.

    There is one thing about the Word of God – If it is God who spoke it; it is Settled.

    When a Child of God speaks it according to the Word of God, it will have the same effect.

    Like I taught my Senior Pastors years ago – If a goat wants to eat your food and the Elder Man there says: “Kai”, the goat will run.

    Even if a Young Fellow in the house says: “Kai”, the goat must move.

    I am a Representative of the Most High God and today I decree that in all your Kingdoms, there will be Peace – Because at the Name of Jesus, every knees must bow.

    … He has a Name that is above every other names.

    Psalms 91:1 says that: He that dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High, shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.

    1. That tells you that there is Somebody called “The Most High”.

    You can’t be higher than the One who says that Heaven is my Throne.

    We are all Great Traditional Rulers – We have High Thrones; but there is no Throne that is higher than the Heaven.

    The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 5:8 that there is Someone Higher than the highest.

    And when we talk about how high your Throne is, then we are talking about the area of your Influence.

    It is how big your Kingdom is that determines how high you are rated!

    The One that we are talking about – The Most High, His Influence is over the Heavens, over the Earth and even Underneath the Earth.

    As Powerful as the President of America is, he cannot decree a Curfew for Nigeria – If he says that Nobody should get out of their homes in Nigeria after 7pm; we will just laugh at him because his Kingdom is America.

    But there is this King – Who told me and I told my children in a Particular Year (DMC NOTES: Year 2020); that the whole world will be on Compulsory Holiday.

    I told those of you who are close to me because it is a dangerous thing to announce such Publicly.

    And Nobody knew how it will happen until Coronavirus came and then we found out that all over the world, everybody has to stay at home.

    The beauty of it is that if you allow Him to take over your Life, this King that is so High that He is above every other Kings will be your Father and you can boast based on the fact that He is your Father.

    I’m sure that you know that no matter how small a Child of a President can be; if they are taking him to School, they can clear the road for him – He is not the one that they are respecting but his father.

    The Most High is your Father and so when you are going anywhere, the Special Patrol of the Almighty God will be clearing the way for you.

    So, it doesn’t matter how much evil might be in the Nation, none shall come near you in Jesus Name – Amen!

    You Probably heard the Story of the four (4) boys in Aso Rock – And they were Playing and they began to talk about their fathers.

    One said that my father is Greater than all your fathers. And they said why? And he said that my father is the President.

    The second one said that my father is Greater than your father. And the first one said how come? He said that my father is your father’s Physician; if he ask your father to stay in bed for one week, your father must obey. And the one who Commands the Commander-In-Chief actually is the Cimmander-In-Chief.

    The third one says that my father is Greater than your fathers. And they said how come? He said because my father is the Herbalist here and he can kill your fathers without firing a gun.

    The fourth one said that my father is the Greatest of all – And he was the son of the Messenger in the Place.

    So they all looked at him and said: You! Everybody is talking of their father being Great and you are talking.

    He said that you don’t understand – He said that my Father cannot only kill but He can also make alive.

    And they said: Who is your father then?

    He said that my father is Jesus – He can kill and He can make alive.

    Once Jesus Christ becomes your father, you begin to enjoy the benefits of the Name that is above every other names!

    Now he that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High ….

    1. This One called “The Most High”, whose Name is Jesus has a Secret Place.

    In Psalm 27:5; the Bible says that in the Day of Trouble, He will hide me in His Secret Pavilion.

    If the Almighty God – The Most High notices that there is trouble coming your way; He has a Place where He hides His Own.

    The Bible says in Proverbs 18:10 – He said that the Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower, the Righteous runs into it and he is safe.

    Whenever you find yourself facing danger, remember to call the Name of Jesus.

    Occasionally you find yourself face to face with a Problem that may come suddenly and unexpectedly; all you need to do is to shout the Name of Jesus.

    You have heard me share this before:

    I was travelling from Lagos to Ilorin (Capital City of Kwara State Nigeria) several years ago.

    Between Ogbomosho (A Town in Oyo State Nigeria) and Ilorin in those days, there was a Narrow Bridge that they will give you Notice ahead – Narrow Bridge Ahead, Slow down.

    So, if you get there and there is another Vehicle coming from the other side, you Park because two Vehicles cannot pass that together.

    And we are driving – My Driver and I, going to Ilorin.

    We are already on the Bridge and then a Trailer was coming from the North – Whether he didn’t see us or his brake failed, we never found out but he was coming straight and we are going to meet at the Middle of the Bridge.

    And we had to choose – Do we want to die by Head-On Collision or swap into the River? And the River is very deep.

    There was no time to Pray but there was enough time to shout one name – I shouted and my Driver shouted.

    We met the Trailer at the Middle of the Bridge and one way or the other, we Passed.

    When we got to the other side of the Bridge, my Driver Parked because he was shaking like Banana Leaf – Fortunately, he didn’t look back because I was shaking more than himself.

    Finally, by the time he was Composed enough to ask me a Question, he said: Daddy what happened?

    I said that God enlarged the Bridge and the boy kept on saying Wonderful until we get to Ilorin – And I kept on telling him that is one of His Names.

    Is any of us expecting a Wonder – At least before the New Year, let me hear you shout Jesus – Jesus!

    So he that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High, shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.

    1. It tells us that there is Someone called “The Almighty”.

    In Psalms 62:11; it is written: God has Spoken once, twice have I heard this, that Power belongs to God.

    The Powers that calls themselves Powers on Earth, they don’t really know the meaning of Power – The “Real Power” belongs to God.

    I. That is why if any Group of People gathered themselves together and they try to tell you that they are the Powers in your Kingdom; just laugh at them – Power belongs to God!

    II. If anyone says that unless you Submit to us that is when you can continue to reign; let them know that – Power belongs to God!

    III. Anyone who is threatening you Particularly because you choose to serve Jesus and Jesus alone; tell them that – Power belongs to God.

    Don’t let anybody harass you – Get committed to Jesus Christ and He will Protect you from any other Person Pretending to be Powerful.

    In a Town not too far from here, one of the Kabiyesi (Referring to King) became Born Again and he said that from now on, in my Kingdom; as long as I am King, no more Idol Worshipping.

    And the People there laughed – We have been Worshipping these Idols even before your father was born.

    Then they held a Meeting – Oh, he is going to a “Little Church” called The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); let’s go and deal with that Church.

    So they harmed one of their Representatives – And he came to the Church on Sunday and he entered the Church.

    As he entered the Church, he fell down – He got up; what nonsense is this? And he began to chant his Incantations.

    He took another step towards the Altar and he also fell.

    He stood up, take another step for the third time and fell down again

    When he got up this time around, he ran out of the Church.

    Any Evil Force that may say that they want to come and attack you because you have Surrendered one hundred Percent to Jesus. Because Jesus has a Name that is above every other names; such Evil Forces will bow – Amen!

    It might interest you to know that the Pastor of that Church that they said will die within seven (7) days is still alive after 40 years because Power belongs to God!

    And then they said that: He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High, shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.

    1. The One who is called the Almighty has a Shadow.

    In Psalms 17: 8-9; when David was Praying, he said to God: I want You to keep me like the Apple of Your Eyes, hide me under the Shadow of Your Wings.

    … He has a Shadow that He can hide you under.

    Some of you Probably heard the Story of three (3) fishes – They were living in an Ocean and there was a Shark there and a Baby Shark. And they (Shark) love to eat fishes and they were terrorising the surroundings.

    And then, the three (3) fishes held a Prayer Meeting and they invited the Lord to come and visit them.

    And when the Lord came, He said: Yes, what do you want?

    The first one says that we have these Sharks troubling us; I want You to turn all my scales to eyes so that I can see all around me and that when the Sharks coming, I can see them before they get to me and so I will be able to escape. And the Lord said okay.

    The next one: What do you want? It said that I want a Pair of Wings so that when the Shark is troubling everybody, I want to fly out of the Ocean.

    The third one says: Lord, all I want is that wherever I go, You will go with me.

    So the Lord left and told them that all your Requests are granted.

    Immediately, the fish that wanted eyes all over his body suddenly discovered eyes all over.

    And very soon, the Shark said that this fish is beautiful – Eyes everywhere and so they began to Pursue it.

    And the fish said: I have seen you and swam towards the Beach. And because it has many eyes, he saw a little Pool of water on the sand away from the sea, make one big jump and landed in that Pool of water.

    And began to laugh at the Shark – Come and get me here if you can.

    But then the Sun rose and little by little, the Pool of water dried up and the fish with many eyes died.

    When the Shark found out that they have lost the fish with many eyes, they began to look for others and then they saw one with Wings.

    And that one says: I have a way of escape and he flew out of the Ocean and began to laugh.

    But soon, an Eagle was flying Pass and saw a fish flying – And said: Oh God, You know that I like to eat fish only that I can’t swim. And now You have brought one to me in the Sky.

    And the Eagle ate the fish with Wings.

    And then the baby Shark said to the mother Shark – Ha, there is a third fish here; it is not even afraid of us. Let us go and eat this one.

    And the mother Shark said to the baby Shark: Are you blind? Can’t you see that wherever that fish is going; there is a Shadow of a Man following it – You try to touch that fish, the owner of that Shadow will kill you.

    The Bible says that the Lord is your Shade on your Right Hand.

    I am decreeing today that as you go from here; for the rest of your Life, the One with the Name above all names will go with you – Amen

    David said: Yea though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me.

    As long as the Lord Jesus Christ is with you, wherever you go, and whatever you do throughout your Kingdom; you don’t need to fear anymore because the Lord is with you – Amen!

    My God will take care of you and I will only hear Good News concerning you – Amen.

    Now, I want to Close:

    He says that He that dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High is the One who will abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.

    I. He that dwells and not the one that comes in and out.

    II. He that stays Personally in the Secret Place of the Most High and not Someone who Worships only on Sundays

    III. Someone who is so Close to Jesus Christ and who is so Full of Jesus Christ that if anything comes near at all, what will come out of his mouth is Jesus.

    You all know very well that if you are carrying a cup, you know that if Somebody should bump into you accidentally; what will come out of the cup is what is inside the cup.

    What is in you is what will come out of your mouth if there is any sudden appearance of the Enemies.

    Anybody can Pretend – It is in the time of Trial that we will know what is inside of us.

    Some People had an Accident on the Expressway – One of them is Someone who dresses like an Apostle.

    They took all of them to the Hospital and they had to give them Injections because they had been bleeding.

    When the Needle entered into the Man who was looking like an Apostle, he shouted.

    And what he shouted was “Shopona” – Meaning the Idol of Small Pox.

    On the outside he looks like a Child of God; but a Needle entered into him and what was inside came out.

    When we met that Trailer on the Narrow Bridge, what was in me was what I shouted out and what was in my Driver was what he shouted out.

    Today take Note – We might be able to Pretend to Men but we can’t Pretend to God!

    David said one thing in Psalm 23:6 – He said: Surely, Goodness and Mercy shall follow me.

    For how long? All the days of my Life

    But he also made a Promise – And I will dwell in the House of the Lord Forever

    DADDY GO DECREES

    I commit you into the Hands of the Almighty God, wherever you go; His Presence will go with you.

    Whenever the Enemies try anything; as you shout Jesus, all knees will bow.

    As the Lord lives, before whom I Stand; I will see you Next Year (2025).

    You will be Healthy, you will be Richer and you will be Closer to God.

    And anytime I hear concerning any of you; it will be Good News.

    And you too shall dwell in the House of the Lord.

    Amen!

    Now, I’m about to do what the Holy Spirit advised me to do:

    He asked us to form “One Continuous Cycle”:

    And all what I want you to do is to begin to Praise God in your own Mother Tongue Language.

    I am also coming down to join the Cycle and then the Power of God is going to flow across this Place!

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

    FINAL CLOSING PRAYER

    The Almighty God will grant all your Requests.

    The Most High will Promote you.

    The Almighty will defend you.

    The All Sufficient God will meet all your Needs.

    The Resurrection and Life will keep you Healthy.

    The Prince of Peace will give you Peace throughout your Life.

    From now on, you will enjoy Supernatural Provisions.

    You will serve God till the end.

    You will go home in Peace and Miracles will be waiting for you at home.

    In every areas of your Life, it shall be well with you.

    We shall meet again in Peace and your Joy will be Full.

    In the Kingdom of God, None of us will be missing.

    So shall it be!

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Now, put your hands together for the Almighty God.

    God will go with you.

    And by the Next Time that we will meet (DMC NOTES: In Year 2025), you will have Mighty Testimonies – Amen!

    God Bless You!!!

    OPENING PRAYER

    King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Original Majesty, the Unchangeable Changer, the Ancient of Days, the One who lives Forever – We Worship You.

    Thank You for what You did Last Year (2023), Thank You for what You have done between Last Year (2023) and now (2024).

    Thank You for what You are going to do Tonight and Thank You for Journey Mercies for these Your Children.

    Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

    Father this Weekend, in the lives of all Your Children that are here Today or those reading now on the Label of DMC; do something Mighty.

    If any of them has any kind of Problem(s); before tomorrow Morning, solve the Problem(s)

    What no Human Being can do, Please do for them Tonight.

    By this Time Tomorrow, even as they are arriving back home; let their Joy be Overflowing.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!

    Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and Prophesy to them – Tell them: God will Surprise you this Weekend.

    And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.

    And then you may Please be seated.

    You are all Welcome and it is a Great Joy to see you all once again.

    I’m Praying for you that the Almighty God that you have come to meet with will not disappoint you – Amen!

    And it shall be well with you in Jesus Name – Amen!

    Because we have Limited Time and there is a lot that we would have loved to share; we will go straight into the Word of God.

    If I were to begin to greet you one by one and follow Protocols, we will waste Precious Time.

    Because by the Grace of God, God has made each and everyone of you High and Mighty.

    And I want you to know that whatever Protocol that I could not observe here; the Angels in Heaven will observe them.

    Philippians 2: 5-11:

    1. Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
    2. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
    3. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
    4. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
    5. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
    6. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth;
    7. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.

    We are to talk on: “THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES”.

    One Great Poet in the Past asked the Question – He said that: What is in a name?

    He said that a rose called by any other name will still smell as sweet.

    DMC NOTES: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet’ – is a Quotation from William Shakespeare’s Play Romeo and Juliet, spoken by Juliet Capulet (Act 2, Scene 2) to herself whilst on her Balcony, but overheard by Romeo Montague.

    A name is very important because if you meet Somebody that you have not met before and you want to Introduce yourself; the first thing that you mentioned is your name.

    If you are meeting Somebody for the first time, you don’t start by telling him/her your Address? You don’t even tell him/her what you do? You don’t tell him/her how you are? The first thing you want to tell that Fellow is your name?

    Because your name is a Summary of all you are – Your Address may Change but your name is your Personality rolled together.

    For Example, in Genesis 17:1; God introduced Himself to Abraham – He said that: “I am Jehovah El-Shaddai; I am the God who is More Than Enough”.

    And He was talking to:

    ☆ Somebody who was barren.

    ☆ Someone who has been Promised that he is going to the father of Nations.

    ☆ Someone who has been told that his children will be like the Stars in Heaven.

    And this Man said that you said that I am going to be the father of Nations and now I am about to die and I don’t even have a Single child.

    God said to him – I am the God that is More Than Enough. Whatever I have said, I can do it and I can do much more.

    So, I have Good News for all of us who are here today and reading now on the Label of DMC; much more than you can ever believe; my God will do it for you – Amen.

    When more than 40 years ago; I was crying to Him for a house – I was living in one-room in Mushin (A City in Lagos State Nigeria) and so I asked Him: Please, build me a Boys Quarter.

    He said: Son, don’t ask me for a house because I have decided to give you a City.

    And when He noticed that as a Human Being I thought that was impossible; He reminded me that I am Jehovah El-Shaddai.

    I want to decree to all of you who are here today or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Glory that you can never believed Possible, God will give to your Kingdom – Amen!

    Now, your name is so important because that name follows you throughout Life.

    Whatever name you are called is actually spelling in Advance for you for what your Life can be.

    Let’s take the Example of Moses – His name was called Moses because he was drawn out of the water.

    And if you follow the Story of Moses, every time in his Life, water Played a Major role:

    ☆ When he wanted to cross the Red Sea, the name Moses was involved in Parting the Red Sea.

    ☆ As the children of Israel were continuing their Journey, they got to a Place where they had water that was bitter; Moses was there to Change Bitter water to Sweet water.

    ☆ When the People were Thirsty, the Man who was drawn out of the water was used by God to bring out water out of the Rock.

    … Throughout his Life; water water water.

    Your name is important as you can’t run away from your name – It follows you wherever you go.

    Many of us might not know what happened in 1 Kings 18: 30-39 – When Elijah called down fire from Heaven and the People fell down and began to say: Jehovah is Lord.

    That’s the meaning of Elijah – Elijah means “Jehovah is God”.

    So, if you are there that day, what the People were saying is – They were just calling the name: Elijah, Elijah, Elijah.

    So, your name is so important that occasionally when your name is creating a Problem for your Progress, you might need to go to God and ask Him to Change your name.

    Because many atimes, what is inside your name, can be the “Real Problem” that you are having.

    If Someone is called in my native Language (Yoruba): “ESUGBAYI” – Which means Satan has accepted this one; it will be difficult for that Fellow to escape from Satanic Attacks.

    So, from time to time in the Bible, God Himself had to Change the name of some People before their Miracles can begin:

    I. The Original name of Abraham was Abram.

    God said alright, I will Change your name to Abraham.

    You will just think that He is just making the name longer but He was enlarging his Coast.

    II. He Changed the name of the wife from Sarai to Sarah.

    IIi. He Changed the name of Someone called Simon to Peter.

    And if you Study Peter very closely, at a time when Simon was going to Perish, Peter came in to help.

    IV. He Changed the name of one Young Man from Saul to Paul.

    From Someone who was going to Hell to Someone who will be a Leader going to Heaven.

    I have done all these so that you can know that when we are talking about a Name above all names, your name is important.

    And one of the Prayers that you must Pray today is that: God, if my name is causing me Problems, Please Change the name!

    If there is anyone here who is not where God wants him/her to be and the reason was because of the name he/she was giving at birth – In the Name that is above every other names, God will Change that name tonight (Amen).

    … There is tremendous Power in a name!

    There are many things that I could talk about the Power in your name.

    If I am very, very busy and then Somebody comes and says: I have been sent to you. The question that I will ask is: Who sent you?

    When I hear the name, it will determine whether I will add that business to my business.

    There are names that opens door.

    And in the Name that is above every other names; from today onwards anywhere in the world, your names will be opening doors – Amen!

    For Example, several years ago; I was in Kenya and one of my sons was working for United Nations – They have a very big Camp in Nairobi (DMC NOTES: Nairobi is the Capital City of Kenya).

    And I said that I will love to see their Camp so that I can learn some things that maybe I can do same in my Camp.

    My son drove to the front of the Camp and went out of the car to get Permission for me to come in.

    They told him – You work here and you know that Strangers are not allowed here. This is a Top Security Place.

    Oh he Pleaded with them – The one coming is my father, and I can’t say No to him.

    They told him: Don’t waste our time.

    They called the Top Man – The Man said, tell him as he knows the rules.

    But suddenly one of them said: Who is this your father? And he said that he is Pastor E.A Adeboye.

    The Man said: Why didn’t you tell us that? He came to the car himself, apologised and say that I will take you round the whole Place.

    In the Name of the God that I served: Every doors that has been closed against you will open to you from now on – Amen.

    The Name that is above every other names is the Name of Jesus – And it opens Mighty Doors!

    For Example: It opens the Door of Prayers.

    John 14:14 says: if you ask anything in my Name, I will do it.

    So, if there is anybody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; and there is a Prayer that you have been Praying for some time which has not yet been answered.

    I am going to join my Faith with yours – We will cry to God in the Name of Jesus and before tomorrow Morning, the answer will come – Amen!

    Tonight, I want you to focus on one Particular Name of this Man called Jesus!

    Before He was called Jesus, what was the first name that He was called the very first time that God gave Him a Name?

    You will find it in Isaiah 7:14 – It said: A Virgin is going to conceive and give birth to a son and his name shall be called Emmanuel.

    That was before he was born – Hundreds of years before He came.

    And the meaning of Emmanuel is: “God With Us”.

    And I want you to do something with all boldness – Turn to your Neighbour to your Left and Right and say: Beginning from now on, God will be with me!

    Why is this Name so important?

    Those of you who are Traditional Rulers, when we are talking of a name; you hear: The Majesty in Charge of Such and Such a Town. And then they traced him to the fellow in the Family Line who became a King.

    Then we say that there are so many Ruling Houses – This is Somebody from the Ruling House of Somebody et cetera et cetera.

    … They go back to the Origin.

    The Origin of Jesus is Emmanuel.

    And there are some very serious Implications of that Name:

    1. It means that when He is seated, He is in Absolute Control.

    It doesn’t matter what is happening in a Town, if they run to the Palace and they bring their Reports; the Kabiyesi (Meaning King) will be sitting on his Throne, taking Decisions.

    Because while He is seated, he is in Control.

    Now, Jesus Christ is also called “The Most High”.

    And in Isaiah 66:1, He said: Heaven is my Throne and the Earth is my Footstool.

    It means that when He is sitting there in Heaven, whatever may be here on Earth is under His Feet – He is Completely in Control.

    For Example, in Numbers 16: 1-33 – When some People decided to gang up against Moses who was the Anointed of God.

    God told Moses: Leave them to me and let me handle the case.

    I don’t have to get up from my Throne – The Ground they are walking upon is under my Feet. I will speak to the Ground and say: Open your mouth, swallow these Enemies and then close again.

    You know that I have a Good News for you – As long as Emmanuel is behind you; whatever Problems might be in your Kingdom right now, the Ground will swallow them before you (Amen).

    Years ago, I went to my Native Town to conduct a Wedding. And when I got there, I saw some People who came to attend the Wedding and I remembered what happened way back in 1960.

    That same People who were there had a quarrel with my father and they told him Point blank that they will not allow me to see the following Morning.

    My father came home, told my mother and that night, my mother took me and ran away – And so, I saw the following Morning.

    So, I was at the Wedding – And as a Young Preacher, I had zeal but I don’t have the kind of Wisdom I have now.

    Oh because I know that I have Jesus Christ and they can’t kill me anymore; so I began to attack them in my Sermon.

    After the Program I left.

    These same People went and meet the mother of the Bride and told her – It is because your daughter is Wedding that this “Foolish Boy” had the opportunity to come and insult us.

    They told her that we know that your daughter will soon be Pregnant and we will see where she will deliver.

    So the mother ran to me – Look at the trouble that you have caused o?

    I laughed – I said that my father is seated in Heaven and His Feet is on the Earth. If these People said that it is not on this Earth your daughter will deliver; then they will not be awake when your daughter delivers.

    And when the daughter was going to deliver, she just came to do something in the Camp here and the baby was born.

    Today, the baby that they said will never be born is a Medical Doctor.

    I want to decree to you – Any Plot of the Enemies concerning you, concerning your family and concerning your Kingdom shall fail – Amen

    1. What happens if He should now Stand Up?

    The Bible says that when He Stands Up from His Throne, His Enemies scatter.

    Psalms 68: 1-3 says: Let God arise and His Enemies will scatter.

    Because you came, God will arise for you – Amen!

    When you read Judges 15: 9-16; it told us about how three thousand Men went to bind Samson. And just when the Enemies were happy that they have brought their Enemy bound to them, God arose.

    In the Name that is above any other name; God will arise for you – Amen!

    The Bible tells us that Samson killed one thousand of the Enemies.

    And the Question is: Why only one thousand?

    It is because the others fled!

    By the time you arrive back home after this RCCG Royal Fathers’ Convention 2024; you will just heard that some People has left Town!

    Why? Because God will arise for you,

    Some years ago, one of my sons has a Testimony he couldn’t share Publicly because he was a Top Man in the Military.

    He was Promoted to a Position and the People there said that you are here now; this is how we do things from this Level. And he said that I can’t do that as I am a Child of God.

    Is that so? They said that we will know what we will do. And they made arrangements to see to it that he will be Prematurely Retired.

    And then, he came to the Holy Ghost Service – He didn’t know what happened. But before the following Monday, there was a Coup and all those who met to see to it that he would be Summarily Retired were swept away by the Coup.

    The only one who told him that they invited me to the Meeting but I couldn’t go was the only one spared.

    The one that they said was going to be Retired was Promoted even higher still.

    Every Obstructions in the way of your Kingdom; the Almighty God will sweep them away – Amen!

    1. What happened when He begins to move?

    The Bible says in Judges 5:4 – It says that when God begins to move, the Earth trembles because of His Legs.

    How long are the Legs?

    He is sitting in Heaven and His Legs touches the Ground.

    So, when He takes one step, the Earth will move one way and when He takes the second step, it will move in the other side.

    When God begins to move, everybody will know that God is on the move.

    When you come Next Year (2025) – Whether the devil likes it or not; you won’t die but you will give Testimonies (Amen).

    1. Then when He is Passing by, everybody around can collect a Miracle.

    When you go through the Scriptures, you will find out that many of the Miracles that Jesus Christ Performed were Performed when He was just Passing by.

    I. In Mark 5: 25-34 – There was a woman who has been sick for years.

    As she saw that Jesus Christ was Passing by, she went from behind and got her Healings.

    II. In Luke 7: 11-15 – Even a woman was going to bury her only son and Jesus Christ was Passing by.

    He stopped the Procession and put an end to the Sorrow of the woman.

    God is going to Pass by this Particular Weekend and whatever Miracles you need, you will get your own in Jesus Name – Amen!

    I was travelling to Ilesha (A Town in Osun State Nigeria); and I got to Ile Ife (Another Town in Osun State Nigeria) – And I saw one of my daughters. She was standing by her car and if you look at her face, you will know that she was in serious trouble.

    And so I thought maybe the car had a Problem and so I told my Driver to reverse. And I got out of the car towards her.

    She said: Daddy, I have been trusting God for a baby boy and at long last, I became Pregnant with a baby boy. And now the Doctors had just told me that the baby is dead and they want to remove the baby.

    Oh I said maybe this is why Jesus Christ said that I should Pass by here today.

    And I laid my hands on her and I Prayed that the baby will come back to Life.

    Today, that baby is a Medical Doctor Abroad.

    Jesus Christ is Passing by this Weekend – Whatever is Good in your Life that has been dead, will come back to Life (Amen).

    1. When He arrives – Because as He is moving, the Earth has been bending this way and that way; there will be what we called Earthquakes.

    In Acts 16: 25-34; the Bible says that Paul and Silas were in Prison and the Enemies thought that by the following day they are going to kill them. Then they began to Praise God like you Traditional Rulers had learnt to Praise God.

    Suddenly, God arrived and there was an Earthquake.

    You are going to Praise God, there is going to be an Earthquake and every Prison doors in your Kingdom will be forced open!

    Oh, some People said that it is only in the Bible – That kind of thing doesn’t happen anymore.

    1979 in a Town called Tulsa in America – Myself, my father-in-the-Lord of Blessed Memory and four (4) others went to Tulsa for a Program and we stayed in an Hotel.

    Early one Morning, while we were there, my father-in-the-Lord called all of us to his room and gave us a Bombshell – He said that he will soon go and that I will be Succeeding him.

    We were all surprised of course – I was so shock that I just fell on the floor and everybody began to Pray seriously.

    And suddenly, we heard a knock on the door and I was by the door. So I got up and open the door – Yes, can we help you?

    He said: What kind of Instrument are you Playing? I said that we are not Playing any Instrument.

    He said, no you are Playing an Instrument – I said that we are just Praying.

    He came inside, looked around and there was no Instrument anywhere.

    When he was going, he stopped by the door and said: What do you say that you are doing? I said that we are Praying.

    I said why? He said because the Hotel is shaking and we have traced the source of the shaking to this room.

    After we left, they closed down the Hotel – They dug round the Foundation to see if there is something wrong and they shut down the Hotel.

    After 30 years, I was in Tulsa again with my children and I said let me show you the Hotel that shook when I was told that I will be the General Overseer – And I found out that it was still locked up.

    And I was moved with Compassion – I went near and I laid my hands on the wall and ask God to Please help this People.

    Six Months later, the Hotel was re-opened.

    But the Point is – When we Pray the way you should Pray; God can Pay you a visit and shake the Ground!

    Everything that must be shaken in your Kingdom will be shaken this Weekend – Amen!

    DMC NOTES: Tulsa is the Second-Most-Populous City in the State of Oklahoma USA, after Oklahoma City, and the 48th Most-Populous City in the United States.

    1. Then what happens if He should come in?

    Whenever God arrives and He enters in into Somebody house; from that moment onwards, Failure will get out.

    In Luke 5: 1-7; when He entered into the boat of Peter, the one who had toiled All-Night and caught not a Single fish, suddenly discovered that in the same River, he caught enough fishes to fill two (2) boats.

    Don’t let anybody tell you that there is no Wealth in your Kingdom.

    All that God is waiting for is that He will be allowed to come in.

    Once He comes in and He is given the right Position, Poverty will come to an end and Failure will become unknown.

    You can ask yourself the Question – All the People who are Succeeding, are they born by Angels?

    There are some of your children who are Abroad and they are doing very well there; but many of them are afraid to come home.

    They could come in and Change your Kingdom but they are afraid of some Evil Forces.

    But the moment that they know that the Light of God has come, that Jesus Christ is in and that they don’t have to be afraid of anybody anymore; all of a sudden your Kingdom will begin to Prosper and they will begin to bring in their Wealth.

    I’m Praying for Somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – Those of your children that God can use to transform your Kingdom; in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, they will become hungry for home – Amen!

    1. And then, what happens when He comes in to stay and He begins to bear His Name Emmanuel

    When God is abiding anywhere, Tragedy will come to an end.

    In 1 Kings 17: 17-24; Elijah was staying with the Widow of Zarephath and death came calling to steal the son of the Widow.

    But death was chased out and the baby came back to Life.

    I want to assure you that if you let Jesus Christ abide in your Kingdom, Tragedy will become a Stranger.

    About 3 years Plus ago, one of my children among the Men of God came to me and said: Sir, Please come to my Village because he said almost every 2 weeks, Somebody important in the Town must die. And so, anybody who is beginning to rise, they run far away from home.

    I will be Passing by, and so I will come!

    We went, we Prayed and decreed that whatever is causing death in that Town will be moved out of the way.

    More than 3 years had Passed, not a Single Young Fellow had died.

    Now it is not me but my God.

    As you go from here; you will go with His Presence – Amen!

    As you open the door for Him to come in and to stay in your Kingdom; Premature Death will become a Stranger to your Kingdom – Amen!

    Allow Emmanuel not just to visit your Town but to stay.

    Give Him Preference and allow Him to be in Charge.

    As your son and your friend; I have a duty to tell you the Truth, the whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth.

    TRUTH NO 1: That God loves you.

    I. That He even brought the idea of a Special Convention for Traditional Rulers or Royal Fathers shows that God loves you.

    II. That you heard and you decided that I will go; it shows that God loves you.

    Because you have enough excuse not to come.

    But now, I heard that People are not here from Nigeria alone; People are here from other African Countries like Togo and Cameron.

    And other Countries are already hearing about you and they are coming.

    Remember that Jesus Christ said something – He said that Nobody can come to me except my Father draws him.

    That God drew you and you did not refuse the drawing; it shows that God loves you!

    TRUTH NO 2: When you invite Jesus Christ in, you need to understand that if He comes in; He takes over because His Name is above other names.

    I. He will not share His Position with that of any idol.

    II. If He wants to start to Perform Miracles, He wants you to know that it is He and not any idol.

    Many atimes, when God Performs a Miracle; you will hear that other Sources has been Closed.

    The woman with the Issue of Blood had tried every other means and failed before she then went to Jesus.

    He does this so that He alone can have all the Glory.

    So that when He has Performed His Own Miracle, Nobody will be able to share the Glory with Him.

    When we came to this Land (Referring to Redemption City of God); he gave us 4½ Acres of Land to start with. And that 4½ Acres has become this City and we have never borrowed a kobo from anybody so that the Glory will be His Own alone.

    There are many of my children working in Banks – Daddy, any amount you want, we will loan it to you.

    I told them – The One who is in Charge here is the Jehovah El-Shaddai; the God who is More Than Enough.

    Allow Him to be the All in All and He will be more than Sufficient for you – Amen!

    1. Finally tonight, what happens when He decides to leave?

    Because if you call Him in and He comes in and then you begin to show Him that you can’t obey Him; He will leave.

    He says in Revelation 3:20 – He said that: Behold I stand by the door and I knock; if any Man hears my Voice and opens the door to me, I will come in, I will dine with him and he will dine with me.

    But if He keeps knocking and you don’t open to Him, He will not stay there forever.

    God is here with us tonight and He is knocking at the doors of our Hearts.

    ALTAR CALL

    If you have not Surrender your Life to Him, Please do so tonight because if He knocks and knocks and you don’t open, He may decide to leave.

    So, I’m going to give you 2 Minutes: Let all of us now our heads.

    If you have not yet Surrender your Life to Him Completely and you want to do so; all I want you to do is to raise your hands where you are seated.

    And ask Jesus Christ to come and take over your Life.

    Tell Him to come into your own Life, let Him become your Lord and Saviour.

    And He will answer your Prayers and He will come in and your Life will be different.

    Go ahead and talk to Him!

    And the rest of us, let us cry to Him that He will save our New Brothers and Sisters who has raised up their hands.

    Ask Him to Please save their Souls today.

    And then, I will Pray for your Salvation.

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION

    My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Words and I Thank You for Your Wonderful Children that You have brought together today.

    Please Lord, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

    As for those of them who has lifted up their hands as a Sign of Surrender to You:

    Please receive them, save their Souls, write their names in the Book of Life, let them become True Children of the Living God and for the rest of their lives, whenever they call on the Name of Jesus Christ, answer them by Fire.

    Thank You Almighty God.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    I said earlier that the Name of Jesus Christ can open the door to Answered Prayers.

    I don’t know what are your Major Requests from God; you will go before God after I have Prayed for you and ask Him!

    Shall we Please Stand!

    FINAL CLOSING PRAYER

    My Father and my God, I want to Thank You.

    I want to Thank You once again for bringing this Your Wonderful Children together and Thank You for Loving them.

    It’s only You Jesus,
    It’s only You;
    It’s only You Jesus,
    It’s only You

    I depend on You Jesus
    I depend on You;

    OPENING PRAYER

    Indeed Lord, we absolutely depend on You. I, in Particular depend on You.

    If it were not for Your Grace who would I be?

    It’s because You have made me what I am that I am able to stand before Your People today to share Your Word.

    And I am asking You Lord to let Your Good and Mighty Hand be upon me; Let me speak as Your Oracle tonight.

    Let not my words be enticing words of Man’s Wisdom, but let it be that I am emboldened by the Spirit and that I will speak the Word of Truth.

    Be exalted tonight Lord; and all the days of the lives of the ones who would be listening, including those reading now on the Label of DMC.

    And especially I, Your daughter that You would use me to speak Your Word to Your People – Help me.

    In Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Please be seated.

    I want to say a big thank you to Pastor Belemina Obunge (Intercontinental Youth Pastor) for the opportunity of joining the RCCG International Youth Convention this year (2024).

    And to our dear Pastor Sola Owoeye (National Youth Pastor NYAYA) – Lovely to see you again.

    And to all the Pastors and Leaders of the Youth and Young Adult of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), what a Pleasure to be in your midst.

    I think I have been to the Youth Convention before – This is not my first time, and so I am a Second Time Visitor. Praise the Lord!

    I also want to Thank the Lord for my husband, Pastor Chinedu Ezekwesili – If you think you are Youthful, wait until you see my husband (laughter).

    I’ve been asked to speak on the matter of Education.

    And I would just like to lay some Foundation that really has been helped by our dear Honourable Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly who Ministered earlier.

    Please clap unto the Lord for him! That’s an amazing Child of God in the space of Politics and Governance. We Give all the Glory to God.

    Pastor Belemina Obunge said I should share with you on “Educational Insights for Sustained Success.”

    And I’d like to make this as Personal and as simple as Possible. I am not one given to Personal Conversations because as a Public Person, I always kind of feel that our Country (Nigeria) and our Continent (Africa) have too many difficult issues to tackle, that I don’t spend my time placing a focus on my own Story.

    And so, the only reason that I’m able to do this is because I have God the Father, I have God the Son, and I’ve got the Holy Spirit – Three (3) of them joined; “I get backing ooh (laughter)!”

    And so I will tell you a bit of my Story tonight, but let me start Foundationally;

    When we talk about Education, we do know that it is clearly that which is considered the gaining of insight that Previously was not available; through a Process of Teaching and Learning, in the Educational Sector and in the Academia.

    That is, those who have been Researchers and those who have been Practitioners of Education.

    1. THREE (3) CRITICAL SKILLS

    We normally say that Education is what enables a human being to acquire three (3) very critical Range of Skills:

    1. COGNITIVE SKILL

    The first Skill is often said to be the ‘Cognitive Skill.’

    That is the Skill that gives a Person the Capacity to receive of the Knowledge and to critically understand that Knowledge.

    1. AFFECTIVE SKILLS

    The second one is that Education enables a human being to achieve what we call ‘Affective Skills.’

    And these Skills are the ones that speak to the matter of the Values of an individual; the attitudes, the kinds of Principles that an individual would need in Social and Interpersonal Relationships.

    1. PSYCHO AND PHYSICAL SKILLS

    And then the third one is what we call ‘Psycho and Physical Skills ‘

    And here we are talking about the Skill that enables a Person to actually be dexterous.

    Meaning they can use their Physical Capabilities to design things. And often, for Education we mean, design Valuable Things.

    That’s one Part of my Teaching tonight – To lay a Foundation for you to understand that:

    If Education that is being given to a Person is not enabling them to acquire these three (3) Skills; that Education is not a Functional Education.

    1. FUNCTIONAL EDUCATION

    A rider to what I have just said is that often, Societies that have given attention to Functional Education have often become the Societies that have accumulated so much;

    • In terms of what the Totality of their Population know;
    • What they Value;
    • And what they are able to do with their hands.

    So these kinds of Societies that have enabled this kind of Transformation of the human being – from just merely being a Population of People to becoming a People that are capable of thinking critically and understanding Knowledge when received.

    Therefore, developing competencies of know-how, and the ones that also in addition to the competencies have ensured that the Population have some Core Values that Schooling have enabled them to acquire.

    In addition to that, they have developed these People to be capable of designing Solutions to their Problems Physically and dexterously.

    These are the Societies that we see at the top of the Global Economic Table.

    What is the reason?

    The reason is that there are Factors that we know to be Factors of Production and Productivity of Society.

    For example, Factors like Land and the factor of Capital. Capital often in the form of Equipment and all kinds of Instruments of Production.

    But that Capital has two (2) angles to it: as Economists begin to discover more and more through Research.

    I. The first of course, is the Fiscal Capital.

    … The second however, has become the more important;

    II. And that is what is called Human Capital.

    So a Population is not Human Capital until it has passed through the Process of the kind of Functional Education that I spoke about.

    When a Population is transformed from mere human beings to a Stock of Human Capital; the Society begins to transform.

    When we look at the Economic League Table of the World, the Societies where there have been such massive conversion of their Population to Human Capital are the ones that are Prosperous.

    They are the ones that are on top of the table; they are the ones that are resilience – Meaning they are not given to conflicts or to shocks that distabilize them.

    All these that I have said about Nations, is also what happens at the Individual level and at Family level.

    Families that have given attention to Education and make sure to make Education inclusive – Meaning they have not discriminated against their daughters and simply say to them, “you are girls therefore, you don’t need to be Educated.”

    Those are the families that have Higher Household Income and they are more Prosperous.

    Because they have understood that the conversion of their own Population at that Micronuclear Level of family to the best quality of Human Capital, will be the basis upon which they can Prosper. It is the same thing at the Community Level.

    Thank God for our Previous Speaker tonight, from the Ekiti State House of Assembly – There once was a time when Ekiti State had the highest Par Capita Professors in this Country (Nigeria). But I am grateful to God that a Person like you is the space of Politics and Governance.

    And I stand as a daughter of the Most High God to agree with you, that you will indeed become a Governor of that State, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Because, using him at the Individual Level; you could see that quality of his Engagement with you tonight on the matter of Politics shifted your Mind.

    Am I correct? I know that some of you changed your Mindset about Politics and Governance tonight after his Message.

    Why was he able to do it at the Unit Level? The Power of Education!

    He told you the kind of Strategic Thinking that went into the various Phases that he followed in order to finally emerge as a Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly.

    What we normally call ‘User Journey ‘ of this Gentleman (a Son of God) is not the typical “User Journey” in the Politics of Africa.

    And it excited me to listen to you sir because it also showed up in Governance.

    The Governance of Societies that have given attention to Functional Education is more solid. And it is through the Governance of these Societies that have given priority to Education that they are able to make Economic Progress.

    1. EDUCATION IS THE BASIS OF SOCIAL PROGRESS

    That Social Progress ensures that Society is Equitably and inclusively driven.

    When People are Educated – Functionally Educated, they are not mundane. They don’t focus on inanities like things that don’t matter – They are not the things they prioritize.

    When Society educates properly you know what happens? They don’t major in the Minors.

    When you see a Society that Majors in the Minors, it is because of Education Deficiency.

    1. DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS ARE CURRENTLY GOING ON IN THE WORLD.

    Demographic Shifts happen when the average age of a Society’s Population begins to swing from a certain range to another.

    In today’s World Population, being well Educated can make all the difference.

    That is why China, having discovered the Principles that lead to Prosperity; the facts that Solid Investment in the Education of their Citizens, and in providing Healthcare; so that it is not just Citizens being Educated; but it is also Citizens living longer and healthier.

    That is Human Development because they’ve discovered the importance of that.

    And they have understood that if they are giving their citizens that kind of Capacitation; and that they now create an enabling Environment to reward the efforts of their Citizens, their Citizens will by themselves lift themselves out of Poverty.

    It is the absence of this knowledge that makes People assume that we must just wait for a God who already has given us Capacity.

    In that conversation that we see in Genesis Chapters 1 to 3, God essentially was saying to Man that, “Here on Earth, you are the Governor: I have given you all the Faculty, I have given you all the Functional Capabilities to conquer and to dominate.”

    Genesis 1:26-28 showed us the Great Mission of God for Humanity; to take care of themselves and to make Progress.

    26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

    27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

    28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

    Now guess what? In Societies that don’t even say Jesus Christ is their Lord and Personal Saviour; and where large Percentage of People are Christians – Say in Singapore; you know what happens? It is their Understanding of Genesis 1:26-28 and on the basis of that they have dominated.

    What is Dominion here on Earth? It is the fact that when I look at Psalm 72 – where God talked to King Solomon through his father (King David): on what the Leadership of a Society must do.

    Read the entire Psalm 72, you will see clearly what offering Capacity to the People of any Country can do for them, Individually and Collectively.

    China, that I referred to earlier and India following closely; in less than thirty (30) years they lifted Billions of their Citizens out of Poverty.

    Today, we have almost one hundred and thirty three Million (133,000,000) of our Citizens in Poverty.

    Poverty is co-related to the lack of Functional Education.

    When you see a Society impoverished, it is a Society that has not given priority to Education.

    1. FOR OUR CONTINENT, THE 21ST CENTURY IS WAITING TO BE CLAIMED.

    Say with me: The 21st Century is waiting to be claimed!

    Guess what? Even the Advanced Economic Systems of the World are trying to claim it through Education.

    1. REVOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD

    There are Revolutions that have happened around the world and created the Transformation of the world we are seeing.

    I. The first Revolution is the Agrarian Revolution: Hunter Gatherers to having implements for Agriculture. It improved Food Production at scale.

    II. And then the Industrial Revolution

    III. The Knowledge Revolution: Africa was negligible in the Knowledge Revolution when we turned into the Millennium.

    Africa was nowhere in the Industrial and the Agrarian Revolutions. But can you let me tell you what Revolution Africa has been part of?

    IV. It is the Technology Revolution.

    Why? Simply because Government finally stopped holding back access of People to Knowledge and information through the Mobile Phone.

    And the Mobile Phone became the basis for the Revolution that we have seen in that Sector.

    And you know something? That Sector is contributing more Growth to the Economy of Nigeria today, and a number of Countries in Africa than even Oil does Annually.

    Where am I going with this? I am going to the place where it then directly concerns you.

    Because it is fortunate for you that you are the Generation of Africans who have come into the world; and are now Youth at a time that the world has the Cheapest access to Knowledge because of the Power of Technology.

    Tell somebody by your side: Did you know that you are living in an era of the Cheapest access to knowledge?

    MY FATHER’S FUNDAMENTAL VALUES

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I think my father must have known that I needed to be in a place of Mind and Capacity to speak to you tonight.

    Because at a time when people would not care to tell their daughters that they can be anything they choose to be in Life, my father said that to me.

    And what my father said to us is that, there are three (3) things that he would give us – He said he would not leave any Land and Houses for us:

    • Because as a Public Servant he had no Plans to Steal from Government;
    • He had no Plans to tarnish his reputation.

    But that three (3) things would be given to us.

    THREE (3) THINGS MY FATHER GAVE US

    And I want you to take these three (3) things home because you are in the time of the Greatest opportunity for Africa to stop failing and to become the Continent that would claim the 21st Century.

    … My Father said:

    1. VALUES OF A LIFETIME

    “I would raise you with all the Values of a Lifetime. The Values of being a human being.”

    I. My father would say to us – I didn’t even know it was in the Bible: “Seest thou a man, seest thou a girl diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” (DMC NOTE: Proverbs 22:29).

    II. He would say to us, “Honesty is the best Policy.”

    III. He would say to us, “Character is the “Lasting Currency” – All other Currencies of the Earth they fade way but Character does not fade away.”

    IV. He would say to us, “Character is not complete until it is Consistent.”

    V. He would say to us, “Negotiate your Views when you are given Superior Information. But do not Negotiate your Values.”

    My father was raising us on that Functional Aspect of Education of the Affective Skills.

    1. KNOWLEDGE

    My father said the second thing he would give to us is Knowledge – He said the best Education Possible, as much as his Public Servant Salary could afford.

    That we would get Quality Education, and he would spend time teaching us the ones that the School System couldn’t teach us – knowledge; Sound Education.

    Those of you that disdained Knowledge, I beg you tonight, “it is your Competitive Tool for the 21st Century, besides the backbone of Values – Knowledge!”

    You must gain Knowledge; you must go to School, you must totally be committed.

    And I don’t mean you must go to a Formal School, have an affidity at a certain age. But you must thirst for knowledge – For knowing something.

    You must not be one of those that say, “Are you a Learner?”

    What a Stupid Question to ask? I am a Learner forever.

    Don’t you see Daddy GO? Daddy is a Learner. If he is not a Learner do you think he would do the things he does with us? No!

    He tells us his Story – A child of very meager beginnings, but he acquired Knowledge, applied it to himself. He likes to learn. He got to a place where his distinction is very clear.

    Guess what? Every time you look at the Story of Peter and how far he went in the Scripture; and you look at the Story of Apostle Paul and how far reaching he went in the Scripture;

    What do you think was the basis of the dichotomy? Quality of Education! Aside from the Grace of God that was upon them.

    The Grace of God matters – The Grace of God can build on different Levels of effort that a Person has put into making themselves Knowledgeable.

    1. HIS NAME

    And then the third thing my father said to us is that, he would give us his name.

    He said, “you see my name, I’ve guarded it jealously: if you make the mistake of staining my name, I will come out from the grave and knock you on the back.”

    And guess what? It had kept us going. Because you don’t want to be the one that would cause your dead father to come out from the grave and pursue you.

    Today, these three (3) things still work!

    It is because of them that I could go into the Government of Nigeria; and like Nehemiah I could say, “unlike all the Governors before me, I refused to feed from the Pot of the Treasury.”

    • Meaning that because of what Education did for me;
    • Because of what investing in Knowledge did for me;
    • Because of what Family Pedigree did for me;

    I could, by the Grace of God, like Nehemiah stand up to any Challenge that is always waiting for you when you go into Government.

    … My Dear Young People, as I begin to try to wind this down, let’s look at:

    AFRICA’S DEMOGRAPHIC ADVANTAGE IS EVIDENT

    • Average Age of Africa’s Population is 18.8 years.
    • Average Age of Europe’s Population is 44.2 years.
    • Average Age of America’s Population is 38.6 years.
    • Average Age of the China’s Population is 39.7 years.
    • Average Age of Latin America’s Population is 39.6 years.

    Now, imagine what that means for our Continent (Africa) if we should have people like you in Government – Who can understand that according to the God of the Gospel; He has already given us the Power to get wealth (DMC NOTE: Deuteronomy 8:18).

    But the truth is that the God who gives His people the Power, the knowledge, the know-how, the artifact; He will not be the One that would go to school on our behalf.

    Our God will not be the One who would say, “I am shaped by the Values of the Bible.”

    Because all the Values on the basis on which Society runs its Democratic Systems are actually Biblical Values – They are from the Word of God.

    How then can you be a child here in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and you don’t understand the Power of what Education can do for you?

    When I acquired my Education from Primary School to Secondary School, to my Undergraduate – And it was tussle:

    • My mother wanted me to be a Teacher – So she said, you must study Education.
    • And I wanted to be a Lawyer – My Mom said, you are not going to study Law.
    • And my Daddy said he wanted me to be a Chartered Accountant.

    So look at that very widespread Fields.

    Eventually do you know who won – Because there was a debate? My mother won. And my Foundation became Education.

    At a time the people in the Faculty didn’t understand why a Person who had one of the top Grades came to study Education – To show you how we do not Value Education in our Society.

    So, I Studied it to Please my mother (I thought).

    How could my mother have known that many decades after, I would become a Minister of Education of this Country (Nigeria)?

    And then, because I said I have given her what she wanted; I then took a Masters in International Law and Diplomacy – To find a way to still get back to my Law.

    And then after my Masters, I decided to work for Deliotte & Touche Akintola Williams; where I was trained to qualify as an Accountant.

    So I covered everybody’s interest through my Education.

    And because of those Fundamental Values that my father spoke about, I was a voice for Good Governance, even as a Young Professional in this Country (Nigeria).

    It was through that Subscription to Fundamental Values that I ended up becoming one of the Co-founder of Transparency International – A Global Body that you all know works on the matter of Corruption.

    How many of you know Transparency International? I was one of the three (3) Youngest Members that Co-founded the Organization – And that took me Global.

    And because of my Activism, even as a Professional in the Private Sector of this Country, I got in the face of the Military and that resulted in my having to leave home.

    And I went to Transparency International; the Berlin Government said: Come, we don’t want that your voice to be caged. Your Country is in a bad State and we need that voice out there to continue to call the International Community’s attention to what needed to be done.

    Before that, I was already registered to Pursue a Doctorate in International Law. A PhD in International Law – That is what I wanted to Pursue.

    And then a Program at Harvard came up, and they gave me a Scholarship to attend that Program; an Executive Program. And one of the Teachers in the class so took to me: because you could see the three (3) things that my father had handed over to me as his Legacy to me and my Siblings. She saw it!

    That woman was Baroness Shirley Williams, who had been the First Female Minister of Education of Great Britain.

    The fellow who spoke before me tonight told us about a Mentor – Baroness Shirley Williams became my Mentor.

    And she said to me: Your Continent does not need you having a PhD in International Law; your Continent needs you being a Skilled Economic Policy Person. Abandon what your Plans were and apply to Harvard for a Program on Public Policy. I did, and I got admitted.

    Now, those who had stolen in the Public Agency that my father worked, their children were not in my class.

    The God of Heaven and Earth made it Possible for me to get that Quality Level of Education.

    I don’t know who you are today, including those reading now on the Label of DMC: But I must tell you that as a child I had said to my father that I would go to Harvard University. And he told me, “Yes, you would go.”

    And that he was putting up money for me and my Siblings to go to the best University in the world.

    I didn’t realised that the money my father was putting aside would not have even gotten me through the gate of Harvard.

    But guess what? Whenever you speak a word, even without realising it, there is a God who orders the steps of His Children; and He will make it happen – Amen.

    That Level of Operation got me to becoming a Staff of Harvard University.

    And it was while working for one of the most renowned Economists in the world – Professor Jeffrey Sachs, that I then returned to Nigeria to lead what was known as the Harvard-Nigeria Economic Strategy Program of Democracy at the Dawn of Democracy in Year 2000.

    Where am I going with this Story?

    Because Pastor Belemina Obunge said I must inspire you people to see that you also can do incredible things, better than everything that I have done.

    I could have been Preaching Messages and giving you a lot of Scriptures; but I felt People like Pastor Belemina Obunge would take care of the Scriptures.

    And I would just be telling you some Pathway to how Education can make all the difference.

    … And I will end with a few Scriptures, however.

    As I got into Government, and I chose a side. I decided that the side I would choose is the side of God.

    And l remembered that in the Book of Daniel Chapter 1, that when the King wanted to create an Elite Leadership in Babylon, he selected some three (3) Jewish children, plus Daniel;

    • To put them in the School of Knowledge.
    • To embed them in the kind of Skills that would make them be Purposeful in Life.

    And that’s exactly what God did with me. Because by the time I was in Government, I became the one the President moved the most amongst his Economic Team Members:

    • The Reform of the Public Procurement System in the Country.
    • Co-working on the Establishment of the dead Management Office in the Country.
    • Leading the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in the Country.
    • Running the Ministry of Solid Minerals in the Country.
    • Becoming the Minister of Education in the Country.
    • Being a Member of the Power Sector Reform Team in the Country.

    And Ladies and Gentlemen, like Apostle Paul would say: I do not say any of these things in other to boast in myself. But to simply say to you that the Pathway that God helps us to move in the direction of His Purpose for our lives can often be: Our Yielding ourselves to the Hard work that is involved in accessing Education. So that we gain Competencies, Values, and we gain the Capacity to solve Problems.

    Do you know what then happened?

    My work in Government attracted International attention.

    And the then World Bank President reached out and began to headhunt me to work for the World Bank as a Vice President. And I said to him, sorry, I don’t want to work for the World Bank.

    I don’t want to tell the Story tonight, but it took a lot. Including speaking to our dear father (Daddy GO), before I then accepted to go to the World Bank as Vice President in Charge of the African Region.

    And guess what?

    When I got to the World Bank, I then realised that I was not being Punished by former President Obasanjo when he was moving me from one Sector to another Issue.

    Do you know the Team I went to lead at the World Bank were Teams working on all the Aspects of things I had done in Government?

    In working at the World Bank, I would go to Countries of the Continents. I was responsible for Forty eight (48) Countries on the Continent that is called Sub Saharan Africa – Except the North African Countries.

    And who do you think would receive me? It would be the Presidents of each of those Countries that I went to.

    So, what my father said, “Seest thou a girl diligent in her work? She would stand before kings; and not before mean men” happened everyday that I transversed our Continent.

    Our dear Young people especially favoured; because you are in the household of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); I need you to know that there is nothing standing in your way as a barrier to becoming every and anything that God has according to Jeremiah 1:4-5 ordained you to become:

    Then the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a Prophet unto the Nations.

    I have operated my Life not just on those three (3) things that my father said; by the time I then gave my Life to Jesus Christ in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Freedom Hall, in the early 1990s of our lives – My husband Pastor Chinedu and I gave our lives to Jesus Christ and then it all made sense.

    Because we began to see, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, that there was much more to live for than to just be Professionals.

    And that in being Professionals, we needed to be Professionals for the Kingdom.

    On the basis of the Teachings I received under Pastor Tony Rapu, I created a Framework for Life – And that is what I leave you with, as I then leave the microphone.

    A DUALITY OF PURPOSE.

    There is a Duality of Purpose for your Life as a Child of God in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

    1. The first of the Duality is that: God cares about the Talents He has aplaced in you (Matthew 25:14-30).

    He cares about the Talents that have carried with you into the Earth and He wants you to express it fully.

    For some of you, you have to ask for His Guidance; for His Revelation of that Specific Ordination for your Life.

    But God decides the Vocational Assignment, and cares about your Kingdom Assignment.

    If I did not become Born Again with my husband; we would never have understood what Kingdom Assignment is.

    Kingdom Assignment is the basis of why in Church you are a Pastor, you are a Worker, you are a Pastor’s wife even; you are an Usher, you are a Musician.

    And you are thinking you are just doing it. No! You are not just doing it. It’s a Kingdom Assignment.

    This Duality of Purpose is one that you must fulfil.

    In other to fulfil it, a quest for Knowledge must be in you – You must read, you must study to show yourself approved.

    “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (DMC NOTE: 2 Timothy 2:15)

    But if in this Life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (DMC NOTE: 1 Corinthians 15:19)

    1. Therefore, the other Part of the Duality of Purpose – Standing alone on its own is: A Consciousness of Eternal Life.

    The only reason Solomon said that Life is Meaningless was because he got distracted from a Purposeful Life and began to follow other things.

    Dear Young people of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), I beg of you; no matter what you achieve because you will achieve.

    Oh! I know you will – For as long as you stand with God you will achieve – Amen.

    And even when you fall you must get up – Don’t stay fallen.

    If you are out of things with God, realign yourself to God – He is a Merciful Father.

    For as long as you stand with Him I declare again; you will achieve – Amen.

    You will be known as a “Certain People”.

    Because that was how the Jews were described in the Land of Babylon – We are in Babylonian ages across the World.

    But you will achieve! And when you do, Please know that the Duality of Purpose is that you should definitely make it to Heaven – Amen.

    Because I intend that all of us should see ourselves in Heaven.

    My Dear Young people, I don’t do jobs and you must not do jobs;

    Jobs earn you a Living; Assignments fulfil you a Divine Purpose.

    God Bless You – Amen.

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

    SESSION TOPIC: MOTHERLY COUNSEL – GOD, OUR BURDEN BEARER

    DATE: 3RD OCTOBER 2024

    BIBLE TEXT: LAMENTATIONS 3:27-28

    Praise the Lord!

    Let’s Thank God for all He is doing in our lives.

    Let’s cry to God for all He has done for us in this RCCG IYC Convention 2024; for all our Leaders who have taken time to organise this Meeting.

    Let’s Thank God for giving us this Redemption City, where we can gather like this without any fear.

    Let’s Thank Him for all the facilities He has Provided – It’s not common.

    Let’s appreciate Him.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Thanked Him – Amen.

    Let us Pray.

    SONG

    Lord You are so Good
    Lord You are kind
    Lord You are Wonderful
    My God You are Excellent (twice).

    Excellent in Your Name
    Excellent is Your Power
    Lord You are Wonderful
    My God You are Excellent.

    OPENING PRAYER

    The Excellent and Perfect God; the One who rules and reigns in the affairs of Men.

    The Lord of Hosts is Your Name: You are our Alpha and our Omega, You have no Comparison.

    From Everlasting to Everlasting, You are God – We salute Your Majesty.

    We Thank You for Your Love; right from our Mother’s Womb: You have been taking care of us – We are so Grateful.

    Be Thou exalted forever!

    We Thank You since inception You have been here with us.

    Thank You for the safety on the road, safety in the air and on the sea. Thank You for safety even in the Redemption City of God.

    Thank You for the Provision of Accommodation and feeding;

    Thank You for the Seasoned Preachers You have sent to us.

    Thank You for Your Word of Life that we have been receiving – We are Grateful.

    Accept our Thanks and Praises, in Jesus’ Name.

    Here we are in this Session again; we ask that You’ll come again into our midst: Brighten us, Strengthen us, give us Understanding and don’t let us be weary or tired.

    By the time we finish this Session, we Pray Lord, that our hope would have been Standardized in You; and we will go back home rejoicing.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Thank You!

    Thank You Wonderful Choir; we appreciate you so much.

    You will allow me to sit down, because I have been asked to give Motherly Counsel – No mother would counsel her child Standing.

    The moment you see a mother stand up, it means “cane is on the way.”

    I didn’t bring cane; I am here to be a Counsellor. And I believe you will listen to me.

    The Lord will keep you going, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    I salute all our Leaders in the House, and all those reading now on the Label of DMC.

    The Intercontinental Youth Pastor – DMC NOTES: Pastor Belemina Obunge, the National Youth Pastor – DMC NOTES: Pastor Sola Owoeye, all those who are in the Youth Ministry – Both in Nigeria and Abroad.

    We want to say Welcome! And Thank God for keeping you all on the firing line for us.

    I am talking on behalf of all of us who are Youths – We are saying Thank You for all you have been doing concerning our lives.

    I Pray that God will Reward you Mightily, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    What I want to counsel you on as a mother is in the Book of Lamentations 3:27-28:

    27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

    28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

    You can see that the Youthful Period is very important:

    • It is a time we lay the Foundation of our lives.
    • It is a time between Childhood and Adulthood.
    • And it is a time when there is Strength.

    Whenever anybody wants to compare his or her Strength to the Youth, he or she may die unexpectedly.

    We see how the Youth dance; if a man of sixty years (60) tries those dance steps, I’m sure he would not be able to stand up the next day (laugher).

    So I rejoice with you, because you are in your Prime years.

    The Youth Period in Nigeria is between eighteen (18) and twenty nine (29) years, according to our Law. But in other Nations it varies.

    The Bible tells us that the Youthful Period is very, very dynamic. If you see a Youth that doesn’t have Strength, it must be Probably that he is sick.

    And if there’s anyone that is sick among us today, or reading now on the Label of DMC; I Pray that the God of Heaven will Strengthen us, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    When the Bible encouraged us in Lamentations 3:27 that It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his Youth, you may be wondering, “What is a Yoke?

    … Which is a Good Question to ask.

    A Yoke is what Naturally comes to the live of a Man that looks so impossible to conquer.

    It is a Natural thing, most especially during the Youthful Period. Sometimes you want to go to School, you want to Study, but your Parents have no Money.

    It is a Yoke upon you because you will be looking at how you would achieve that Goal and you cannot achieve it because you don’t have Money; your Parents don’t have money to send you to School.

    Some others, even in their Youthful Period have Aged-Parents and they don’t have enough money to take good care of their Parents. Especially those of you who are Genuinely Born Again, and you know the Lord.

    The Bible tells us in Daniel 11:32(b): But the People that do know their God shall be Strong, and do Exploits.

    I have seen a Youth who is not married, whose Aged-Mother is living with him.

    We give credit to that boy – He is a Youth Pastor now.

    He doesn’t know the value attached to his Life – Anytime I see him I honour him.

    The day he introduced his Aged-Mother to me, I asked, “where is Mama living?” He said she is living with him.

    How many of you bring your Aged-Mother to where you live, to where you work – And you are not married)?

    And those of you who are even married and are Youth; how many of you can manage your Aged-Mother mother without complaining?

    I am talking about Yoke now, because it varies – Some of us our Parents are dead, but we have Younger ones.

    Probably you are the first born in the family and your Younger ones would always come around – “Brother I need this, Sister I need that.” And you would be saying, “how do I meet up with all these Needs?” It is a Yoke!

    Some Yokes may even be Sickness that you inherited from the family.

    But whatever the Yoke, the advice in Lamentations 3:27 today is that, It is Good for a Man that he bear the Yoke in his Youth.

    Why? You are still Strong. And more than anything else, we have a God who is concerned about us.

    That He said in Matthew 11:28-30: Come unto me, all ye that Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my Yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am Meek and lowly in Heart: and ye shall find rest unto your Souls. For my Yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

    This Morning, whatever the Yoke in your Life, there is a Burden Bearer in the House – Amen.

    Are you happy to hear that? And I’m sure you know that already; it’s just that you have refused to give Jesus a chance to carry your burden.

    But today, as a Mother, I am telling you: God is saying that He will bear your Yokes, according to Matthew 11:28 – Amen.

    Our Bible Text (Lamentations 3:27-28) says the reason you should bear the yoke in your Youth is because you are lonely – You are alone.

    Now God is saying bring the Yoke and I will give you rest – Matthew 11:28.

    My Beloved children, I say: You will have rest in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    You will not die with the Yoke in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    God will make the Yoke easy and the burdens light, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    And He will exchange your Yoke with His rest, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Jesus told His Disciples in Matthew 16:24, If any Man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    Everyone following Jesus has his or her own cross (Yoke).

    But He assures you that you cannot have Him as your Burden Bearer and still be carrying the load.

    The Founder of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – Late Pa Josiah Akindayomi once told us a Story:

    He said that a woman was coming back from the farm with a load on her head, and they stopped to give her a lift in their car. But the woman sat in the car, still carrying the load on her head.

    When they said, bring the load let’s put it in the trunk of the car, the woman said, “you have done well by even carrying me in your car; let me carry the load.”

    Is that the wise thing to do? When given a lift, are you supposed to still carry the load on your heard, rather than give to the driver to put in the trunk of the car?

    This Morning, the Burden Bearer is in the house; and He will carry you and your load, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    You cannot hear all you have been taught during this RCCG IYC Convention 2024 and still go back home troubled.

    Because the Bible says, If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed – DMC NOTES: John 8:36

    In the Mighty Name of Jesus, your Freedom has come today – Amen.

    Why do we know that the Word of God is true?

    Psalms 100:5 says, His Truth is from Generation to Generation: For the LORD is Good; his Mercy is Everlasting; and his Truth endureth to all Generations.

    I am laying the foundation for your Faith, so that you know how to transfer your Yoke to Him – His Mercy is Everlasting; and his Truth endureth to all Generations.

    • It has endured for the Generations who have gone before us;
    • In our own time it is still enduring;
    • And in your own Generation His Truth will still endure.

    Let’s give the Lord a Clap Offering!

    It is good to bear our Yoke while we are still Young, because Ecclesiastes 13:1 tells us to: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy Youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no Pleasure in them;

    I am telling you as a Mother to put into Practice all you have been taught so far. There are Yokes you cannot escape – The Yoke of Brother Joseph is different from the Yoke of Brother Jabez.

    Jabez fought with the birth name given to him by his mother; while Joseph Struggled with the evil plots of his brothers (envy).

    Please note, Envy is also a Yoke – Relationship Yoke. Even from children of the same father.

    Is there any Yoke in your Life this Morning? The Bible admonishes us to bear them now that we are still Young.

    The General Overseer (Pastor E.A Adeboye) said one of his Teachers gave them some piece of advice while they were still in Primary School – That everyone coming to the world has his or her own pad for carrying load.

    Why do we put a pad on our head before carrying load? It is so that our head will not become bald while we are still Young.

    The Yoruba’s call it “Osuka Iya” – Meaning, the Pad of Suffering.

    They say we cannot escape it because we all come to the world with it. And until the pad of suffering is worn out, you can’t enjoy.

    This Morning, Ecclesiastes 3:27 is saying, let that pad of suffering wear out in your Youthful Period.

    AND HOW DO WE GET IT WORN OUT?

    1. KNOW YOUR GOD.

    We should know our God, because that is the Underlying Principle.

    The One inviting us to come unto Him is the Burden Bearer Himself.

    We should also believe that He can do all things for us.

    One of my favourite Scriptures is Acts 17:28, and it says: For in him we live, and move, and have our Being.

    When you live in Him, move in Him and have your “Being” in Him, nothing can conquer you – Problems may come, but one day there will be an end to the Problem. Because there is no Problem that lasts forever.

    1. BELIEVING IN HIM AND IN HIS WORD.

    Many of you are moving Concordance – Unfortunately, you only quote the Scriptures, but you don’t believe in the Word.

    Why do you memorise Scriptures if they are not going to work for you?

    Today, I have come to admonish you to let the Word of God dwell in you richly – Live the Word, walk the Word, talk the Word. Encourage yourself in the Word: so that the ‘Pad of Suffering’ you are carrying can wear out in your Youthful Period.

    Because, by the time you leave your Youthful Period and the Pad of Suffering’ is still there; the Yoke is still there at old age; it will not be easy to bear by then.

    Today we see Aged-People in the Motor Parks carrying loads for a living – Maybe in their Youth, some of them ran away from School; some ladies eloped with Men because of the little money they were receiving; while some of them refused to be trained by their Parents.

    If you are one of such People, you have to go back home.

    Some of us would say, my father and mother are too harsh; as a result you ran away to live with your friends; doing whatever your Youthful Mind wants you to do – Which would eventually lead to destruction.

    Allow the Word of God to work on you, because if you do not allow your Yoke to end while you are a Youth, you may regret it for the rest of your Life.

    And that will not be your Portion, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Know your God. Not only that, Believe and stay with His Word; Obey His Commandments – “Do this” – Yes Sir! “Do that” – Yes Sir!

    1. ENDURE HARDSHIP

    In 2 Timothy 2:3, the Bible says, Thou therefore endure Hardness, as a Good Soldier of Jesus Christ.

    Some of us, other People are responsible for our School fees and upkeep – They buy us clothes, etc. And when it is time to buy clothes for yourself, buy books for your Younger ones, buy foodstuff for your Parents, you begin to complain, “their own is too much! With this my little Salary?”

    If you don’t do it now, instead of Blessing, you may receive something else.

    And I Pray that you will not be cursed, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    We have to endure Hardship as Youths – We have God and He is willing to help us.

    Judas Iscariot did not want to suffer long, so he cut corners, like some of you are doing right now – He sold the Lord Jesus Christ for Thirty (30) Pieces of Silver.

    Unfortunately he did not enjoy the Money – You can see what the devil can do.

    So do not allow the devil to Preach his Sermon to you – Jesus Christ did not allow the devil Preach to Him; as the devil was saying, turning stones to bread, Jesus quickly replied, “It is written…”

    That’s why we have gathered for this RCCG IYC Convention 2024; and your Leaders have taken their time to bring Seasoned Ministers of God – You should be filled with the Word now to conquer the devil. Line must be upon line, Precept upon precept, continuously.

    Judas did it, but he never enjoyed the Proceeds.

    That will not be your Portion, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Even if you have to reduce the quantity of the food you eat because you want to train your Younger ones, Please do.

    If you have to reduce the number of clothes you buy in a year, Please do.

    I know what I am talking about, because I was a Grade II Teacher when I started training my Younger ones in the University. They all obtained their Master’s Degrees before I went back to the University.

    By then I was not even a Christian – I was attending Anglican Church back then. It was by the help of God and Good Home Upbringing.

    Many of us shun our Parents’ Advice these days – My Parents were both dead, so who am I going to leave the training of my Younger ones to? I had to train them. Because if I didn’t, considering God’s Plan for my Life now; they would have been Rebellious, saying “she did not train us, she was not concerned about us back then.”

    And some of us are like that – Your Younger ones are still carrying Headpan at Construction sites, and you cannot withdraw them to go back to School.

    By the Grace of God, I waited for my Younger ones to go to the University, and get their degrees.

    Some of them were even married before I went back to the University.

    If you, as the firstborn in that family is not trying to bear the burden of your Youth, if you leave it till old age, you will regret it.

    1. TELL THE LORD ABOUT IT.

    Pray always, committ each step you are taking into His Hands.

    Jabez is a Good Example – He said, “my Mother named me a child of sorrow, I reject it. I don’t want that name.”

    What name are your friends calling you?

    What name are your Teachers or Lecturers calling you?

    Do you want to settle down with a name that is not Pleasant?

    Jabez said no, I don’t want to bear this kind of name – That is where prayer comes in 1 Chronicles 4:9-0 says:

    And Jabez was more Honourable than his Brethren: and his Mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my Coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

    Solomon was Young when his father Pronounced him a King over Israel.

    But he knew that he cannot be a Successful King without talking to God about it.

    Brethren, Prayer will lead you to Wisdom – You have to be Wise.

    Your case is not the same as that of Brother B – You both have different Yokes. You have to sit down and analyse the Yoke, then decide how to go about it.

    Youths of this age, you are better than our days – In those days, the Word of God was not available as you have right now.

    Thank God the Bible says, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I Ordained thee a Prophet unto the Nations – DMC NOTES: Jeremiah 1:5

    If you have gone out of your Destiny, today, God will bring you back, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Solomon knew he was a dullard, so he asked for Wisdom.

    We need to Pray hard – And your Prayer should be:

    LORD, Please show me how to bear this Burden now that I am a Youth: I don’t want to be a Beggar when I am Old.

    God is Faithful; the Bible tells us in Psalm 100:5, For the LORD is Good; his Mercy is Everlasting; and his Truth endureth to all Generations.

    He will not say something and not do it – So we need Prayers.

    1. NO MORE PROCRASTINATION

    From today, whatever you want to do, do it quick.

    … How should we do it? Quick!

    No more Procrastination – Because if you say tomorrow, tomorrow may never come.

    And don’t say because Nobody helped you, you will not seek help when you should.

    No! Do not sit on the fence, move!

    If you are a Student and God has blessed you with Parents who can pay your School fees, Please Study hard.

    I used to wonder why Students with Parents to pay fees and Provide other Necessities of Life would come home with 2:2 (DMC NOTES: 2:2 means Second Class Lower Division Grade).

    I remember when Redeemer’s University (RUN) was still in the Redemption City of God; I had the opportunity to Worship with the Students one Sunday when the University just started.

    One of the Foundation Students gave a Testimony of how he differed his Admission in Year One to allow him go and work so that he can go to 200 Level. He was wearing his father’s clothes – The father died and the mother was poor.

    He registered with a Bricklayer, “whenever you have work to do, Please call me.” The money he saved was not even up to a quarter (¼) of what he would need for a whole year, when he returned in 200 Level.

    When he shared that Testimony, some Students wept. I too was weeping for him. And after the Service I said they should tell him to see me. The Lord Paid his School fees. He came out of the University with First Class.

    When he was doing his NYSC (DMC NOTES: NYSC – National Youth Service Corps) in an Organization lead by an American, they gave him Scholarship to Study up to PhD (PhD means Doctorate Degree Educational Level)

    Some of us are just too lazy – We don’t want to do anything for ourselves. We believe everything should be done for us. You are on the wrong path. No more Procrastination.

    1. YOU MUST BE DILIGENT

    If you are serving God, serve Him Diligently.

    If you are a Student, be diligent with your Studies.

    If you are an Apprentice – Tailor, Carpenter, Mechanic, Shoe Maker, etc, be diligent.

    You are still a Youth, so better days are ahead of you – Whatever you are doing now, do it Diligently.

    The Problem these days is that Artisans no longer learn the trade diligently – So if you give them work to do, they would not be able to deliver to your satisfaction.

    Are you Diligent with your Studies and Training? Whatever you are doing right now, be Diligent.

    It is not everybody that will go to the University – You may even be a Trader or a Business Owner, be Diligent.

    Some of you Studied Business Administration, yet you have not done any Business – You are just carrying the Certificate “Business Administration Graduate.” What are you Administering? (Laugher).

    You are having a hard time because you did not Study with all your heart.

    By the time you Graduated, you are just carrying the Certificate – “Minister without Portfolio.”

    There are Yokes which we have to bear in the time we are Youths – If you bypass them, they will go and wait for you in old age; and you won’t find it funny by then, because you still have to bear the Yoke.

    1. LISTEN TO THE ADVICE OF THE ELDERS

    Many of us are ‘Wiser’ than our Parents’. By the time they say one or two things, you cut them off.

    The Elders have a saying, “A child may have clothes more than an Elder; but he can never have rags like the Elder.”

    You may be wondering what are ‘rags?’ Rag has its own work. You can’t buy a good lace fabric now and use it to mob the floor. Whereas if you have a rag at home, you will use it to mob the floor.

    Let us listen to the advice of the Elders.

    In Proverbs 31:1-10, the woman there was admonishing her son who was a King.

    Some of us think we are already higher than our Parents’, hence, we call them “Old School.”

    Old School or not, they gave birth to you; Paid your bills from Birth to the University, nurtured you, built the house you are living. And you have not done anything in Life yet.

    Let’s listen to the advice of the Elders.

    1. BE FOCUSED

    Do not be interested in the byways; be focused now that you are still bearing your Yoke in your Youthful Period.

    1 Kings 13:14 says, And went after the Man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the Man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

    Before then, there is a Story of a Young Prophet – He was given an Assignment to go and deliver a Message. He was told not to eat in the City or rest on the way. He delivered the Message, on the way he decided to rest under an oak tree. The Older Prophet met him there, convinced him to go back with him to the City and eat. The Bible says, And when he was gone, a Lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the Lion also stood by the carcase – DMC NOTES: 1 Kings 13:24

    You will not die before your time, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Be focused! Yes, your Course Mate is now employed and driving a car, while you are not. What do you want to do? Do you want to go and steal a car?

    When it is your time God will give you your own car – Amen.

    1. USE HARD APPROACH

    The Bible says And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth Violence, and the Violent take it by Force – DMC NOTES: Matthew 11:12

    Why receive the Holy Ghost Baptism when you are not going to approach whatever is deterring you Violently using the Power?

    *You have been given the Power – “You shall receive Power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you….” (DMC NOTES: Acts 1:8).

    Do not just Speak in Tongues? Use the Power given to you to destroy Yokes in your Youthful Period. Because you have to go through it, and you cannot exchange it.

    1. BE STEADFAST WITH GOD

    You can’t run away from God. If you do, you will still come back to Him.

    1 Corinthians 15:58 says, Therefore, my Beloved Brethren, be ye Steadfast, Unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your Labour is not in vain in the Lord.

    Your Labour will not be in vain, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    If you use your Energy, use your Strength, your Wisdom, the fear of God, coupled with every other things, and pass through this Yoke-Bearing Season; at the end of it all, you are going to have a Reward – Amen.

    When God told me to go across the Boarder of Nigeria for Missions, I had never gone to the next Country before.

    After I have worked twelve (12) years in the first School that was established by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), I decided to go on Foreign Mission across the Boarder when I could no longer sleep.

    That work I began since 1996, known then as West Coast Mission – Where I gathered my Young friends, we started praying, before the work began. By the time we know it, it exploded to African Mission, as we know it today. Just last year (2023) we became someone recognised Globally in the United Nations.

    I didn’t go for the Award, I sent my daughter who is close to them there at New York.

    But before the end of the Year, they called on me again to come and defend all the things they have heard and seen – That was when Daddy GO decided to follow me.

    Brethren, if you want to enjoy your Future and Old Age, Labour now that you have the Strength.

    When I first travelled for the West Coast Missions; for seventeen (17) days I was on the road – A woman on the road for seventeen (17) days?

    There was no Mobile Phone then; but I know God said I should go and I went.

    Acts 17:28 – For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

    Now we have African Mission in about Thirty five (35) Nations of the world; coordinating the Progress of work in Africa.

    That is why God has made us to be your Parents – Your father and mother me; so that we can share our experiences with you and so that you don’t settle by the wayside.

    Whatever God has laid in your heart to do, as we Pray through in this Conference: Be Diligent, work hard, no more Procrastination.

    Don’t say you are Suffering’; before you know it, you will be out of the Suffering’ better than those who are laughing and mocking you now – Amen.

    By the Grace of God, He used me to raise many Disciples who are now on Mission Fields – And they are Giants in the Lord; managing ten (10) Countries, five (5) Countries. These were my Secretaries and Personal Assistants. I just said to them, “follow me” and they were happy to follow me. They finally caught the Vision.

    How many Disciples have you made for God?

    Your Leaders were once Disciples. And they are Discipling you now. Do you want to remain a Disciple forever?

    Stand up today; rise up and Disciple others, because the Spirit of the Lord is upon you.

    The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to Preach Good Tidings unto the Meek – DMC NOTES: Isaiah 61:1

    He is saying to you today:

    I. Arise, Shine (Isaiah 60:1).

    II. Go through your Yoke, conquer it while you are still a Youth, so that you will not suffer at Old Age.

    The Bible says in John 9:4, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

    Whatever your hand find to do now, do it quickly and with your heart – DMC NOTES: Ecclesiastes 9:10.

    Some of you are so anxious to get married; yet you don’t have anything to use and feed your wife and children.

    And some of the ladies cannot even cook, because you refused to learn when your mother was training you.

    You have to be rooted and grounded in all areas of Life now that you are a Youth.

    Brethren, we have a God who is calling us to Himself today:

    He says, Come unto me, all ye that Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest – DMC NOTES: Matthew 11:28.

    I want you to combine all the Yokes before you now – Maybe your Parents have been building a house for Ages and it is still not Completed. You are ashamed that when you go home you can’t stay in your father’s house. And you really wished you can Complete the building for your Parents, but you are Struggling with your own Problems.

    What is the Yoke you are bearing?

    Please note them; because we are going to Pray fervently today.

    Our Song would be:

    Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
    Pilgrim through this Barren Land;
    I am Weak, but You art Mighty,
    Hold me with Thy Powerful Hand:
    Bread of Heaven! Bread of Heaven!
    Feed me now and Evermore. (2ce)

    Brethren, that is our Song, before we Pray.

    ALTAR CALL

    I want to remind you that Hebrews 4:16 says, Let us therefore come boldly unto the Throne of Grace, that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of Need.

    We all need help now; and I need help myself.

    But you cannot bear this Yoke in your time of Youth unless God intervenes – Nobody can help you.

    That is why whoever you are and whereever you are right now, Jesus has already invited you to come unto Him with all the Yokes you are bearing.

    He said, Take my Yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my Yoke is easy, and my burden is light – DMC NOTES: Matthew 12:29-30.

    Come to Jesus Christ today; there is a Call.

    You have been singing:

    When the roll is called up Yonder,
    When the roll is called up Yonder,
    When the roll is called up Yonder,
    When the roll is called up Yonder, I’ll be there.

    If the roll is called up Yonder and you are not walking in Righteousness, you will be left behind.

    The Song we just sand said: God should guide us; and we are Pilgrims. We don’t know how to do it, but when you committ everything into His hand and allow Him to guide you, He is ready to do so.

    Come to the Throne of Grace this Morning, or wherever you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC:

    Let the Burden Bearer bear them for you – Is it Sickness, Lack, Failure, what is it? The Burden Bearer is in the House today.

    If you don’t have any Yoke, just be Thanking Him.

    If you have Yokes, just put them at His feet now.

    Take any any Position you want and cry to the Burden Bearer – He is listening to you.

    Talk to the Lord now!

    SONG:

    You are Faithful O LORD,
    You are Faithful O LORD!
    Everyday, every time,
    You are Faithful O LORD.

    CLOSING PRAYER

    Our Father and our God, from Generation to Generation; You are the Truth, You are Faithful.

    We Thank You for the opportunity to come to You.

    You have shown us that, no matter what we face as Youths, we have a Yoke to carry.

    But You have made us to understand today that You are our Burden Bearer – Hence, we have come to You today;

    No more Burden; the ones we are carrying You can take care of them for us.

    So we drop all our Burdens at the Feet of Grace this Morning; carry all these Burdens for us, in the Name of Jesus.

    Spiritual Burden, Emotional Burden, Physical Burden, Financial Burden – Whatever the name, You are able to carry all of them.

    We have come to this RCCG IYC Convention 2024 so that we can Dominate:

    Whatever Burden that wants to render us useless, we have brought them to You.

    Please LORD, dominate them, capture them and let us go back home with Your “Light Burden”, with Rest and Peace.

    Let there be a Manifestation of Your Divine Intervention.

    By the time we get home, all the Burdens one by one, let there be Solution to them.

    And let tomorrow be Glorious.

    At our Old Age, don’t let us suffer.

    Thank You for our Progress.

    Thank You for our Success.

    Thank You because we will begin to impact lives.

    Thank You for Your Joy in our lives; and the rest You are giving us from now on.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

    INTRODUCTION INTERLUDE

    Thank You Father; Blessed be Your Name, we give You Praise and we give You Glory.

    For the Increase of Your Kingdom, Your Domain; there can be no End:

    You are the Original Majesty, the Architect of the whole Universe – In You we live, in You we move, in You we have our Being.

    You are our Eternal Excellency, our Joy of many Generations.

    You are the One who was, the One who is, the One who is to come.

    You are the Invincible One, the Immortal One, the Eternal One.

    You are the One who created an Expressway in the Red Sea just to confuse Civil Engineers.

    You use a Basket to fetch water just to confuse the bucket

    What a Mighty God we Serve?

    Your CV is Endless, Your Accomplishments are Inumerable, Your Professions are Everlasting.

    We see the works of Your Hands and we trembled. Even the Mountains skip like rams, the Hills they jump at the Presence of the Lord.

    Who are we therefore that You are Mindful of us or the sons of Man that you take Note of him.

    For You are before the Beginning, You were at the Beginning, You were there since the Beginning, You will be after the End and reign Forever.

    What a Mighty God we Serve? What a Glorious God we Serve? What a Powerful God we Serve?

    Only a Fool will say that there is no God.

    This Morning, in the Assembly of the Saints here, we lift up our voices, we lift up our hands and we say: “Holy are You God”.

    Blessed be Your Name.

    In Jesus Name we have Worshipped – Amen!

    OPENING CHARGE

    Every Domain has a Domainator and every Dominator has a Domain.

    Both the Domain and the Dominator exist within a Location that only God has External Control over.

    Some of you has been sitting on the same seat since we came on Day 1 (Monday).

    If Somebody come to sit on that seat, you will look at the Person – That is my seat.

    Why? Because since Day 1 (Monday), you have become a Dominator of that seat – Since on Day 1 (Monday), whether you know it or not, you are a Dominator in that Domain.

    But because you don’t really choose to remain on that seat, because of the Increase of God, there shall be no end – Therefore, the Increase of my Domain, there can be no end.

    Therefore, we must expand our Territories and we do this in one way and one way only:

    Genesis 1: 1-3:

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

    God has to invoke the Spirit of God and it begins to hover over the deep.

    Then God said: Let there be Dominion! And there was Dominion.

    This Morning, we are going to Pray in the Holy Ghost – Are you ready?

    And so for few Minutes, let us lift up our voices and begin to Pray in the Holy Ghost now – You are exercising Dominion beyond where you sit.

    You are already a Dominion – Come on, go ahead by speaking in the Holy Ghost.

    Thank You Father. Blessed be Your Name.

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    OPENING PRAYER

    Authority in Heaven, we Honour Your Name this Morning – We give You Praise and Glory, we exalt and Magnify Your Name.

    There is surely no Man or no one that can be compared to You.

    Thank You for what You started since Day 1 (Monday); Thank You for what You did on Day 2 (Tuesday), on Day 3 (Wednesday), on Day 4 (Thursday) and what You are about to do today – Day 5 (Friday): Morning, Afternoon and Night,

    Thank You for this RCCG International Youth Convention 2024; Thank You for the Theme: “Dominion”; Thank You for our lives that we will never be the same again.

    Now Holy Spirit, this moment is Yours – Because the Path of the Righteous is like Shinning Light that Shineth Brighter and Brighter.

    Now, make this moment Your Finest moments yet in the Name of Jesus.

    Don’t Challenge us here this Morning – Change and Transform us amd all the Glory will come to You.

    I decree this Morning that You may Increase, make my Tongues like a “Ready Writer” that is ready to inscribe Your Words in Your People’s Heart that all may be Transformed and lives may Change.

    In Jesus Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    And now, to Him who is able to do Exceedingly, Abundantly above all you can ever ask or imagine; according to the Power that worketh in you: Lift up your hands and shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

    Before you sit down, look to Somebody on your right and left and say: “Your Excellency, welcome to my Domain”. Don’t try to dominate me because I can never be dominated. But before the end of this Session, we will both live in Dominion.

    God Bless You – Please be seated.

    I am Particularly Proud to Stand before the Youth and Young Adults of RCCG and many of us are still Part of this moment of the Youth.

    I salute the Leadership of this Sub Unit of the RCCG Mission – God Bless You for the Great work you are doing under the Able Leadership of Pastor Belemina Obunge.

    Let’s Celebrate our Intercontinental Youth Pastor (IYP) – God Bless You in Jesus Name.

    We are who we are today by the Grace of God, but we Stand on the Shoulders of Giants – On the Shoulders of our father-in-the-Lord and mother-in-Lord. This Patriarch and Matriarch of Faith, who fought and still fighting the Good fight of Faith.

    Can we Please Celebrate them for their Love, for the work they have done, for the Gift they are to us especially to us in RCCG but more importantly to the entire Body of Christ Globally.

    May God bless you and continue to keep you and everything that Pertains to you sir and ma in Jesus Name – Amen and Amen!

    So, very quickly, I will move very fast – And the Holy Spirit will help me.

    One thing that we must know is that: There is no Middle lane or Ground when it comes to the Subject or work of Dominion – You are either being Dominated or you are Dominating.

    But in this Kingdom, we don’t Dominate People – We Dominate People that seek and seek to Dominate us.

    Ephesians 6:12:

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood – Meaning that our Dominion is not seeking to dominate against flesh and blood

    But that Verse now listed a few People seeking to be Dominators – It said against Principalities, against Powers, against Rulers and against Spiritual Wickedness.

    So, those are the People that we are up against.

    So, as we speak about the Subject of Dominion, I want to quickly say that we are not seeking to dominate People – So, that is clear!

    There are others Faith-Based Platforms or Organisations that seek to dominate People – They simply have a Dominion Mindset; that they call it: “I must Conquer and Subjugate”. That’s not who are!

    The Testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophesy – Prophesy edifies and uplifts.

    So, we must understand that the Jurisdiction of our Dominion is not on People – We dominate only those that seeks to dominate.

    And can I quickly say that if you miss for any reason Mummy GO’s Teaching – Plenary Session 7; Please I besiege you by the Mercy of God – Go and listen to that Message again and again.

    What a Teaching and what an Instruction from our Mother-In-Isreal – She spoke like a mother. It was from her heart that she was speaking from.

    I have been asked to speak on: “Dominion in Business” or what I refrained as “Business Success as a Tool of Dominion”.

    Let me quickly say a Story that Changed my Life:

    About 15 years ago – It was a Private Conference, and Daddy GO shared something about the Advancement of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

    And he said that there are about 2 or 3 Movements or Armies that must be built.

    And these 2 or 3 Armies must work hand in hand in order for the Kingdom of God here on Earth to be established.

    I was very Young then and still Young now but I was not in Business then – I was working after I had left School.

    And he said:

    1. The first Army/Movement is the Spiritual Movement – Driven by Ministry.

    So, your Call into Ministry – You are a Pastor, you are a Minister and you have Chosen to take that sometimes as Full Time.

    1. The Second one is Business or Enterprise Movement that must be built.
    2. The Third one is Political Movement that must be built.

    And that the three (3) of them must work hand in hand to ensure that there is an Advancement of God’s Agenda here on Earth.

    And he then said that he has decided and chosen his own and that everybody in the room has the Liberty to decide and choose their own.

    The Oliver Twist that I was – Young with a lot of energy said that: Well, if there are three (3) Armies or Movements that must be built:

    ☆ Why do I need to choose one?

    ☆ Why don’t we choose the three (3) of them?

    ☆ Why don’t we Kingdomwise or Dominionwise, Advancement Kingdom by or through Ministry and Advance Kingdom by Enterprises and Advance Kingdom Politically.

    So for 15 years, that has been a Personal Vision for me – And for those that knows me well, will know that across these three (3) areas, my work cuts across.

    Then he wrapped it up by saying something – That those other two (DMC NOTES: Ministry or Political Movements) might struggle but what keeps them going Particular for Ministry and in Advancing the Kingdom of God is that Enterprise Movement must find expression and must form the Movement and the Advancement of the Kingdom.

    And so this Morning, I am here to speak to People who have a desire – That you look at everything that is going on in the world and you are angry enough to say: “You want to Fund God’s Project”. Those are the People that I have come to speak to.

    The desire that not again will a time come and that God is in need of something and that you will be missing.

    And there is only one Proven way – Decade’s after decade, Centuries after Century that has Proven the essence of owning the things of God’s Agenda comes from the Place of Enterprise Building and massive Expansion of Business.

    It is a Place of Dominion that every Child of God cannot and almost should not desire not to be in – Because if you are not there, you will be dominated.

    I always say: If you are not at the Table, you are on the Menu.

    And so, if you don’t want to be on the Menu, then you must be at the Table.

    Genesis 13: 1-4:

    1. And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
    2. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
    3. And he went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, unto the Place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
    4. Unto the Place of the Altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the LORD.

    The Bible records that Abraham attains the Level of Dominion in Business that gave him the ability to Singlehandedly to begin build Multiple Altars to the Lord. And in that Place, the Lord engages him and he called on the Name of the Lord.

    This Mentality of knowing that the Dominion Mandate does not stop within the Pulpit, the Dominion Mandate does not stop within the four walls of our Churches.

    The Dominion Mandate and Kingdom Advancement will be limited no matter how much we Pray and Fast; if the Mandate of Enterprise does not Support it.

    Therefore, it is important to understand that the Purpose of Dominion Mandate in Business has nothing to do with you and I.

    Say: “My Business is not about us”.

    The Dominate Mandate in Business goes far beyond you and I.

    But very quickly, let us look at what Jesus Christ say about Business and anything with Profit.

    Have you noticed that when you read through the Gospel, about 70% Statistically of Jesus’ Parables are Parables of Profit?

    So that tells me that God is interested in something that has to do with Profit:

    ☆ Parable of Goodly Pearl’s of Great worth or Treasures – Matthew 13: 44-46.

    ☆ Parable of Cultivating a Land as a Farmer sowing a Seed – Mark 4: 26-29.

    ☆ Parable of a Wicked Tenant: A Landlord and a Tenant – Matthew 21:33.

    ☆ Parable of the Unjust Servant who hid his Talent – Luke 16: 1-13.

    ☆ Parable of the Unforgiving Servant who was in Business and didn’t forgive Somebody else – Matthew 18: 23-35.

    ☆ Parable of the Fisherman who go Fishing – Matthew 13: 47-50.

    Parables upon Parables about Dominion in Business.

    But how do we get to this Place?

    About 11 years ago, I landed on a Scripture that Perhaps became the Center-Piece of everything when the word that Daddy GO has spoken about 15 years ago started being Planted in me.

    Deuteronomy 8:18: But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee Power to get Wealth.

    And then put a caveat around it – He said: That He may establish His Covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

    So, the Power to get Wealth is not for us for Consumption – It is that to establish the Covenant.

    Now, the Greek word “Exousia” used for Power in English means Divine Ability, Divine Idea, Divine Strength. To laid hold of something or to do something.

    The Power here is what gives you the Ability to be in Charge!

    And I simply define Dominion – Whether in Business or Ministry or Politics as the Ability to be in Charge.

    When you go to let’s say a Police Station or any area and you ask: Who is in Charge here? They will Point to Somebody.

    When you go to a Military Environment and you ask for the Officer in Charge – “OIC”; he comes out.

    I am here to announce to Somebody here today that “OIC” is an Officer in Charge of Domain in that Place – He has Dominion.

    You are a Redeemite in Charge!

    When you are not in Charge, you will be Charged – Because whoever is in Charge is in Control.

    And so in Deuteronomy 8:18; God says that the Power to be in Charge comes from Him.

    And I have found that this Power Produces four (4) Things:

    1. It Produces Uncommon Ideas – Also called Innovations.

    I decree and declare upon Someone under the Sound of my voice today; the Invention, the Idea that will turn your entire family and lineage around, you receive it this Morning – Amen!

    Why fo I feel there are People here who say to me: The things that you are saying are for maybe People like you who might be doing well already or may have gotten hold of it already?

    I am here to tell you that today going forward, because of the Mandate of Dominion, your background will not keep your back to the Ground – Amen!

    Hear me and hear me very well; the Dominion Mandate Particularly in this area we are looking at – Through Ideas, can take you from Prison to the Palace.

    Genesis 41:33 or if you read the whole Chapter; after Joseph created the first Business Plan for a whole Nation – I call it the Economic Emancipation Plan of Egypt; he created this Plan and handed it over to Pharaoh and he told Pharaoh to look for a Man to be in Charge.

    In Genesis 41:33 in the New International Version (NIV), the Bible says: And now, let Pharaoh look for a Discerning and Wise Man and put the Man in Charge of the Land – Give him Dominion over this Business and Affairs.

    You see, when you are in Charge and when you operate in Dominion, your Ideas speak.

    And Ideas don’t just rule the world, Ideas dominate the world.

    There is an idea that announces a Man/Woman and put him/her on a Global Stage!

    And in Genesis 41:38; Pharaoh answered Joseph and he said: Where can one find such a Man that has the Spirit of God and who has the Ability to operate like God operated in Genesis 1: 1-3 and exercise Dominion?

    Pharaoh said that you are the one.

    From that day onwards, that Idea made Joseph relevant – From Prison straight to the Palace!

    1. The Power creates Intelligence – Spiritual Intelligence.

    ☆ The kind of Intelligence that People will come and ask you how do you do it.

    ☆ The kind of Intelligence that while others were saying “Doom, Doom, Doom”; you are saying “Boom, Boom, Boom”.

    ☆ The kind of Intelligence that while others are ‘Jappaing’ you are ‘Japadaing’.

    ☆ It is the kind of Intelligence that makes a Man sow in a Time of Famine.

    December 2023, I was sitting outside while on Vacation – I sat down and just 30 Minutes later, a Strange name dropped into my heart (I have never heard the name of this organisation before).

    Amd I went to check it out on Google and God says “Buy their Shares”.

    By January 2024, I obeyed God and bought the Shares.

    God is my Witness; from January 2024 till date (October 2024); 120% Returns on it in 8 Months – This is not MMM but an Organisation that existed in this world.

    What am I trying to say?

    There is a Divine Intelligence that sits in Heaven that if you get it whispered to you, they will say what are you doing or it’s like you know something.

    Why? Because you have a backing.

    Look, the days of errors should be over!

    So therefore, People that are associated with you not only come to know God because you said there is Jesus but they must be able to ask you how is yours different.

    The Bible says in Genesis 26:12 (Amplified Version) that Isaac Planted in that Land as a Farmer.

    I put it to you that in the Time of Famine in the Land of Gérar of the Amelekites, it is not a Good Place to Plant but he Planted.

    But the Bible says that in that same year, he reaped a hundredfold Returns.

    1. The Power creates Access.

    Dominion in Business gives you Access and we need Access.

    The Redeemed Christian Church of God is not in every Nations of the Earth yet, but we need Access to other Places like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, more Access in Pakistan, China.

    Many doors don’t open because we knock by Faith alone; doors open because People in Dominion Business Show Up.

    And when they Show Up, Places that we cannot enter as Pastor “So and So”, you enter as Mr “So and So” when the Gifts of God begins to open doors for you.

    Hear me and hear me very well, many People have heard me talked about one of the Disciples of Jesus Christ that I love – Joseph of Arimathaea.

    I love him so much because he was a quiet Disciple of the seventy two Disciples – The larger Disciples.

    No Noise – He wasn’t on Instagram, no Tiktok Account, no Facebook Account, no LinkedIn Account. Nobody knows who he was but he did something Major that is the center of what we are talking today.

    Matthew 27:57 speaks to us about who he is as a Good and Just Man.

    Luke attested to it in Luke 23:50 that he was a Good and Just Man.

    And then Mark 15:43 said he himself was seeking for a Life of Dominion.

    But guess what happened – In Mark 15: 43-45; Jesus Christ has been crucified, His Body was on the Tree, His Disciples and everybody in disarray, Peter had denied Him, John the Beloved went with Mary.

    But the Scriptures had declared that His Body will not see Corruption in my Time, it will not hang on the Tree and decay and the birds of the air will eat Him up while on the Tree.

    Everytime God wants to do a work on the Earth, He seeks Partnership with a Man. And sometimes seeks Partnership with a Man who carries a Dominion Mandate.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, this Hidden Disciple called Joseph Arimathaea stepped out in secret because he has been under Jesus Christ’s Teaching for a long Time while He was alive.

    Because of the Dominion Mandate, he went to Pilate and sought to receive the Body of Jesus Christ.

    He took the Body of Jesus Christ from the Tree together with Nicodemus; put Money together, bought a Tomb, Embalmed the Body of Jesus Christ, put stone infront of it so that for 3 days, the Body will not decay on the Tree.

    Jesus Christ was Embalmed because of a Man that had Access, of a Man that has Influence, of a Man that operates in a Place and was defending the Body of Jesus Christ.

    I am here today to announce to this Generation who must defend, Protect, Shield the Body of Jesus Christ from decay in our Time; get up and say: “I am the one”.

    Joseph of Arimathaea received the Body of Jesus Christ so that he might ensure that His Body never see Corruption.

    The Body of Jesus Christ is currently seeing Corruption in different Places – Even in this Nation, People like you and I who God is raising for such a Time like this, not just to be Preachers on the Pulpit.

    Our fathers and mothers had done the hardwork of laying the Ground and the Time has come for us to gain Access.

    You might not be able to enter as Pastor “So and So”; but you will enter as a Man/Woman in Business Mandate.

    1. The Power of Favour.

    The Power in Deuteronomy 8:18 Produces Favour.

    Isaiah 48:17 says that this is what the Lord says: I am your Redeemer and the Holy One of Israel; I am your God who teaches your hands to Profit.

    Favour can Produce for you one day what Labour cannot Produce in a thousand years.

    … One day of Favour Produces the result of a thousand years of Labour.

    I sat in my Office in 2016 – Month of November Specifically; and a Young Man walked in and said to me: We have heard of you.

    From where? He does not want to mention it.

    We heard that you help to Support Business etc. And he said that we know that we can trust you.

    We’re coming into Nigeria with a Particular Company and we want you to get us up and make it happen in Nigeria.

    I looked at him and he didn’t look like what he was talking about. But I felt the Spirit of God saying to me: Listen to him.

    So I listened, took some Notes and I told him some things.

    To cut the long Story short, the rest is History today – That Company has done more in my Life and Group than Probably what I started myself.

    And it is for His Purpose and Purpose alone!

    As I begin to wrap up, let me say: What is your Posture?

    1. We must know and understand that your Business is not your Business.

    Whether you started it, whether you are starting it, whether you are going to start it – Your Business is not your Business.

    That Deuteronomy 8:18(b) says that the reason why He is doing it is that He may establish His Covenant – It has Nothimg to do with you.

    A Time is coming when a Demand will be Placed on that Enterprise to do things that are Unthinkable – Whether to sow Dangerous Seeds or things that will Advance the Kingdom and Agenda of God.

    That is why I loved what Daddy GO said on Day 4 Evening (Plenary Session 10) – You are busy discussing 10% when really our lives is supposed to be 100%.

    You owe Nothing, I owe Nothing – Your Business is not your Business.

    Isaiah 45: 1 says: Cyprus my Anointed, whose Right hand I am upholding, to Subdue Nations before him and I will loose the loins of Kings, to open before him the two leaved gates and the gates shall be shut.

    And it went on to say in Isaiah 45:3 that He gives him the Treasures of Darkness and Hidden Riches.

    He says that you may know that I am the Lord who has called you by your name.

    And in Isaiah 45: 4-5; it says: Not about you Cyrus but for the sake of my Elect Jacob.

    For the sake of a Nation, Israel; God raised a Pagan King!

    Whenever God is looking,ing for a Man/Woman in His House to operate in Dominion of Enterprise and hold the Resources of Trade for God and He doesn’t find; He looks for Somebody else Outside!

    Because you see, the only thing that God is committed to is His Agenda and His Purpose!

    1. We are Defenders of the Faith.

    Everything that God has given to us in Ministry, Business, Nation, Development; by the Time you put all together, it is for one thing and one thing only – Thy Kingdom come and Thy Will be done!

    Rise on your feet!

    Jesus! Let Your Kingdom come; let Your Will be done

    Right from the days of John The Baptist, the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth Violence and only the Violent will take it.

    And they have only one way to take it – By Force!

    Not everybody will operate on this Mountain, not everybody will stay in this Place – There are many of you that will leave here today that you will be fired up to get Banking Licences, to own Insurance Enterprises, to start Fintech Companies, to own Farms, to start Technology Companies, Educational Institutes and many other Enterprises that you find yourself.

    But you must know and understand that you own Nothing!

    Now, lift up your two hands and say: Father, in the Name of Jesus; Baptise me afresh with the Power that Produces Ideas for Inventions, with Favour that open doors, with Divine Intelligence that sets me apart.

    Lift up your Voice and begin to Pray!

    Thank You Father!

    In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

    RCCG INTERNATIONAL YOUTH CONVENTION 2024

    THEME: DOMINION

    MINISTERING (DAY 2 MORNING – PLENARY SESSION 1): PASTOR SOLA OWOEYE (NATIONAL YOUTH PASTOR, NYAYA)

    SESSION TOPIC: EXPOSITION OF DOMINION

    DATE: 1ST OCTOBER, 2024

    BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 1:26

    Let’s talk to the Lord; Let’s Glorify His Holy Name.

    He is the reason for our living and the essence of our existence. We are what we are because of His existence.

    Let us Magnify and Glorify His Holy Name – He is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

    He is the Uncreated Creator, the Unchangeable Changer, the Unkillable Killer, the Unmake Able Maker.

    He is the One who can do all things; and no Plan of His can be aborted – Let’s Extol His Holy Name.

    He is so Big that the Heaven cannot contain Him and He made the whole Earth His Footstool.

    He has the longest legs and the biggest eyes, He sits in Heaven and oversees the affairs of the whole Earth.

    There’s nothing He cannot do – He made the Blind to see, made the Lame to walk, He made a Virgin conceive without meeting with a man and she gave birth to our Lord Jesus Christ.

    He brought water out of a rock; turned fibroids to Fine Boy and Fine Girl – Let’s Celebrate Him.

    He brought money from the mouth of a fish, He turned fish to ATM; made a way where there was no way – Let’s celebrate our God.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.

    OPENING PRAYER

    Father we Thank You.

    We Appreciate You, we Adore You, we Magnify and Extol Your Holy Name.

    You are who You say You are – You have not reduced in Power, and Your Glory has not faded.

    From Everlasting to Everlasting, You are God, the Unchangeable Changer who can do all things – We Celebrate Your Supremacy.

    You are the same yesterday, and today and forever.

    What can You not do? You made the Blind to see; the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

    You brought Possibility out of Impossibility, You brought money from the mouth of a fish, You made a Virgin conceive without meeting with a Man.

    Lord Jesus Christ, You turned fibroids to Fine Boy and Fine Girl.

    You brought water out of a rock; made a way where there was none before – We celebrate You LORD.

    Father, be exalted in in the Name of Jesus Christ

    We have gathered today to be blessed of You – Father, bless us from Above in the Name of Jesus.

    On this Exalted Altar: let the Man of God disappear, and let the God of Man appear.

    Let every arm of flesh disappear, and let the God of all flesh appear.

    In the Mighty Name of Jesus, let man be reduced, and let God alone be exalted.

    Let the Fullness of Man cease, and let the Voice of God alone be heard, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

    This Morning, whoever hears me will hear God, in the Name of Jesus.

    At the end of this Ministration; the Speaker and the Hearers, including those reading now on the Label of DMC shall be blessed together, and all the Glory would be returned unto You.

    Thank You King of Glory.

    For I’ve Prayed in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    Anywhere God can find the loudest Amen, may He show up in your Life – Amen.

    Anywhere God can find the loudest Amen, may He manifest Himself in that Life – Amen.

    And may the Power of Dominion Possess you, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    While we are still Standing, we want to Celebrate our Parents-In-The-Lord – They are Parents of Parents: Daddy Enoch Adejare Adeboye, and Mummy Folu Adeboye.

    If you are clapping for Jesus in their lives, do so very well.

    Our Daddy is the Daddy of daddies and our Mummy is the Mummy of mummies. Our Daddy is the Pastor that Bishops call father.

    Let’s Celebrate God in the lives of our Parents-In-The-Lord.

    Thank you Daddy and Mummy for the Platform you have given to the Younger Generation of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), to express themselves.

    Daddy, you will not diminish in Grace, you will not diminish in Glory, you will go from Strength to Strength; from power to power, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    You both will finish Strong, and finish well, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    I want to Celebrate God in the Life of our Intercontinental Youth Pastor – Pastor Belemina Obunge, for the Privilege.

    Look at your Neighbour, say: it just occurred to me now that since I came into this Auditorium, I have not formally and Officially greeted you.

    I want to greet and Congratulate you for sitting by my side – It’s an opportunity and a rare Privilege; because any moment from now, my Level is Changing.

    Now that you are Privileged to sit by my side, shake my hand now that it is available. Because when Level Changes, friendship can Change – “New level, New friendship.”

    Now go ahead and shake the hand of your Neighbour.

    And I Pray for you: after the Encounter of this International Youth Convention 2024, your Level would Change, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

    You may Please, take your seats.

    I am to speak on: Exposition of Dominion.

    I will say a few things – For we know in Part and we Prophesy in Part. And I want us to be attentive.

    Dominion refers to the Authority and responsibility given by God to Humanity to rule, to govern and to manage His Creation.

    Dominion is the Power to exercise Control or Dovereignty over the Earth as entrusted by God.

    But look at this Clause: it comes with the beauty to Steward and care for Creation in a world that reflects the Character of God in His Likeness for the Purpose of Dominion.

    Listen to me, if you are not going to dominate, God would Change your Image.

    If you are not going to dominate, God would dislike you – Because in His Likeness He created you for the Purpose of Dominion.

    If you must retain your Image, you must exercise Dominion. Because if you do not exercise Dominion, you would be disliked.

    I Pray for everyone under the sound of my voice, including those reading now on the Label of DMC: None of you would be disliked by God – Amen.

    Dominion is the essence of your Existence.

    Genesis 1:26 says: And God said, Let us make Man in our Image, after our Likeness: and let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth.

    Dominion is the reason for living – You are not free to live until you have Dominion.

    Like I said, you were created in His Likeness for you to have Dominion. If you refuse to have Dominion, He will dislike you.

    If not for the Purpose of Dominion, God would have made you a fish swimming in water; waiting for fishermen to catch with hook, and roast you with Pepper.

    If not for Dominion, God could have made you a cockroach, ready to be roasted.

    He could have made you a dog, barking outside.

    Or a goat, constituting nuisance to the Neighbourhood.

    By creation, you are meant to have Dominion – He created man for Dominion.

    “And God said, Let us make Man in our Image, after our Likeness: and let them have Dominion…”

    He didn’t say, let us make “Men”. God created Man, but gave Dominion to “them.” Because inside Man was ‘them’ – You and I.

    So when He was talking to Adam at creation, He was looking at you and I.

    He created Man; but when He was to give Dominion, He did not limit the Power of Dominion to the Man He created alone. He extended it to every Man that would come out of the first Man He created.

    Hence He said, “And let them have Dominion…”

    It would have been, let ‘him’ have Dominion – Because it was one Man he created and not Men.

    He said: “And let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea…”

    Whether you were at the beginning or not; God saw you ahead of time – He did not only create you to dominate; He empowered you to Dominate.

    Genesis 1:28 says, “And God blessed them.”

    It could have been, And God blessed ‘him.’ But the Bible says, He Blessed ‘them.’

    To be Blessed is to be Empowered; and to be given Capacity.

    Because God will never ask you to become what He has not given you the Capacity to do – He created you for Dominion and He also empowered you for Dominion.

    Genesis 1:28 says, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be Fruitful, and Multiply, and Replenish the Earth, and Subdue it: and have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the Earth.

    Dominion is not just saying it or shouting it; you act Dominion!

    You don’t just say or shout it, you put it into action in everything you do.

    Dominion is not just about ruling, it is about accepting responsibility – It’s about serving God’s Purposes and expanding His Kingdom on Earth. Note that!

    Let us walk in the Authority that God has given us: Living our lives to honour Him, and reflecting His Dominion over all creation.

    Dominion is about becoming Giants of Faith in the Secular Arena:

    • Daniel was a Giant of Faith in the Secular Arena.
    • Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego were Giants of Faith in the Secular Arena.
    • Joseph was a Giant of Faith in the Secular Arena.

    You don’t have to carry any Title to be able to fight battles.

    You don’t have to carry Title without the Entitlement.

    Why? Because you have been empowered to dominate anywhere you find yourself.

    • How can you be in a Place and they are looking for another Person?
    • How can your Presence be equal to your absence?
    • How can you carry God inside of you and still remain Ordinary?

    You don’t need a Platform to Perform; your Performance can give you a Platform for Greater Performance.

    If you want to exercise Dominion, it is your Performance that gives you the Platform.

    Men of Dominion don’t struggle for Position; rather they opt for Performance that gives birth to Position.

    They don’t lobby for Position because they don’t want to remain in the Lobby.

    They don’t settle for Title without Entitlement.

    They don’t go for Mantles that Produce Entitlements.

    David was not the one on the Throne, yet he was in Control.

    Why? Because your ability to have Dominion is not traceable to the Position you occupy – It is in the DNA.

    Peak Milk advert says, “It’s in you.”

    It’s in you! It is not on the seat – The Power to have Dominion is not in the office of the General Overseer, Intercontinental Overseer, Regional Pastor, Provincial Pastor, Zonal Pastor, etc; the Power is inside you.

    The Power is not in the office of any Title holder – Because you can be on the Throne and not be in Control;

    If you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

    If you don’t have it, you can’t take it.

    And if you can’t take it, you will soon fade away – For every fake thing will fade away with time.

    So you must have it to act it.

    Our understanding of Dominion must Change – We have attached Dominion to Titles and Positions.

    You don’t need title to activate Dominion.

    Hear me Brethren; David became an Actor in a battle he was not enlisted to fight.

    When he showed up, they enlisted him to fight.

    Remember, when he showed up they belittled him.

    Unknown to them, inside the little boy is the Mantle to fight the battle.

    They carried Titles without the Entitlements.

    You may carry Title and cockroach will chase you out of the bedroom.

    When you have it you have all the benefits attached to Men and Women of Dominion.

    You can’t walk in Dominion if you lack the sense of accepting and taking responsibility.

    If you don’t accept responsibility you will become a Liability and a bundle of Problem to your Generation.

    HOW DO I WALK IN DOMINION?

    1. Understand your Identity and Walk in the consciousness of your Identity.

    This is because the consciousness of your identity will serve as your Stronghold in the day of Adversity.

    Psalms 49:20 says, Man that is in Honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that Perish.

    You can have Dominion; but when you lack the understanding you will Perish like a beast.

    You will not Perish like a beast, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.

    You must be conscious of this – God is your Source, so be conscious of your identity. Because your source determines your size.

    An Elephant can never give birth to a rat. Never!

    Elephants give birth Elephants, snakes give birth to snakes.

    The poison in a small snake is as deadly as the Poison in a big snake – There is no small snake.

    Also, there is no small Holy Ghost, there is no female or male Holy Ghost. In manifestation there is no discrimination in the Holy Ghost. There is nothing like – American Holy Ghost or African Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost is Holy Ghost everywhere.

    There is nothing like Lagos Holy Ghost, Aba Holy Ghost, Kano Holy Ghost, Delta Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost is Holy Ghost.

    There is nothing like Holy Ghost for Elders, Holy Ghost for Youth, Holy Ghost for Children. Holy Ghost is Holy Ghost.

    Like one of our Pastors would say: “If a little child can be Possessed by Witchcraft; then the Holy Ghost can also Possess a little child.”

    Because in the Holy Ghost Manifestation, there is no Gender Discrimination – There is no Age or Racial Discrimination.

    So, your Source is your size. And you must work with that identify “I came from God.”

    Psalms 8:3-4 says, When I consider thy Heavens, the work of thy fingers, the Moon and the Stars, which thou hast ordained; What is Man, that thou art Mindful of him? and the son of Man, that thou visitest him?

    For God to be Mindful of you means the Mind of God to be full of you.

    Why will God not be Mindful of you when a Part of Him had been transferred to you at creation when He breathed into your Nostrils and you became a Living Soul?

    That breath is God’s Zoe – The Personality of God was transferred to you at Creation. What makes Him God was transferred to you at Creation.

    “The Spirit that worketh in God was transferred to you at Creation.” What does that imply?

    • It implies that what determines you is not the Container, but the Content.
    • What makes you who you are is the you that is within.

    So you must understand that God is Mindful of you.

    When Moon appears, it is everywhere.

    When stars appear, they are everywhere.

    As conspicuous as they are, God is not Mindful of them.

    You are not everywhere at the same time – As you are here now, nobody can see you outside there.

    But if Moon should appear here, it would be seen by those outside.

    If Stars appear here, they would be seen by those outside, and everywhere.

    Meaning that God’s Mindfulness towards you is not a function of your appearance but it is a function of the connection between you and God.

    “What is Man that God is Mindful of him?”

    It is because a Part of God was transferred to Man at Creation. Man cannot do without God – You and God have been cojoined, you are connected together and Nobody can separate you.

    Sin made an attempt to separate you from God, but He could not let you go.

    Why? Because a Part of God has been given to you. And the Gift of God is without Repentance.

    Let me tell you how Valuable and important you are:

    When Man sold himself to the devil and God was to buy Man back, He could have bought you with the blood of goat, but the blood of goat is took cheap and small for your Personality.

    He had to use His Own Blood to redeem you.

    What is the meaning of that? Price is the Value attached to a Commodity in Monetary term.

    How Valuable you are is determined by the Price Placed on you.

    The Price God places on you is His Own Blood.

    God came as a , offered Himself at Golgotha for you to Manbe bought back.

    You are so important that God cannot ignore you and you are so loaded that you can never be defeated.

    Heavens of Heaven cannot contain God – He made the whole Earth His footstool.

    As Big as God is, He wrapped and threw Himself into your Life, saying, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.”

    Meaning you are too loaded to be defeated.

    Where a Man’s Treasure is, that is where his heart would be. Hence, God is so Mindful of you.

    God would abandon everything and pay Man a visit, even in the Garden of Eden.

    He has put all things under your feet, including the devil that wants to stop you.

    1. Be Possessed by the Indomitable Spirit of God.

    The Indomitable Spirit is an unyielding, resilient and unquestionable attitude in the face of Adversity. When you carry this Indomitable Spirit, and you advance in Adversity; you’ll have the ability to remain Strong, Persistent and Optimistic, despite Challenges or Setbacks.

    You don’t take ‘No’ for an answer; you become optimistic in the midst of Challenge.

    To be Optimistic is to see Possibilities in the face of Problems; to advance in the face of Adversity.

    Judges 8:4 says, And he said unto the Men of Succoth, Give, I Pray you, loaves of bread unto the People that follow me; for they be faint, and I am Pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

    How can a Man be fainting yet Pursuing? A Man that is fainting should be sitting down; he is assumed to be failing.

    So you have no excuse to fail. That you were not born with a Golden Spoon is not an excuse for you to fail. Even when your Strength is failing you, keep Pursuing.

    A Man with an Indomitable Spirit can be fainting and yet Pursuing. He is tired yet running.

    If you wait you will waste!

    No more waiting, no looking back, no more sleeping; keep running, keep Pursuing.

    They were fainting yet Pursuing. Those are men who are walking in Dominion, with an Indomitable Spirit. They don’t take ‘No’ for an answer. Try advance in Adversity.

    What stopped others don’t stop them; what killed others don’t kill them; what Limited others don’t limit them; what overcame others don’t overcome them – They are fainting, yet Pursuing.

    I Prophesy into your Life: What stops People in your family will not be able to stop you – Amen.

    Where your mother stopped, you will go beyond that – Amen.

    What holds People to ransom in your Lineage will not hold you to ransom – Amen.

    People with Indomitable Spirit often exhibit Courage, Determination, Perseverance, and they refuse to be defeat by Life’s difficulty.

    The top is not meant for Cowards; the top is meant for Men of Indomitable Spirit; who will never take ‘No’ for an answer.

    The heart of an Indomitable Spirit filled Man cannot fail him in the face of Life’s battle.

    1 Samuel 17:32 says, And David said to Saul, Let no Man’s heart fail because of him; thy Servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

    The entire Army of Israel was held ransom for forty (40) days. When David showed up he knew that the Problem was not in the lack of Weapons; lack of Strength, lack of Energy or lack of God’s Blessing – The Problem was their heart!

    You can be an Eagle and be thinking like a Chicken – You will never fly.

    I Pray for you, in the battle of Life, your heart will not fail you – Amen.

    Indomitable Spirit makes you matter where it matters;

    • David was not on the Throne yet he fought in the battle.
    • He became a Victor where he was meant to be a Spectator.
    • He became a One-man Battalion in the battle against the Philistines.

    He was initially belittled, but he showed up with Power. Men with Indomitable Spirit don’t lose their Position in the face of Opposition. They always walk in Dominion, for God has not given them the Spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7).

    1. Be Fruitful
    • Until you are Fruitful, you are not Useful.
    • Until you are Fruitful, you are Useless.

    Be result Oriented, be a Goal Getter. Fruitfulness is beyond Procreation; it is Producing a kind of God that He has deposited in you.

    You can Procreate and not be Fruitful; but you cannot be Fruitful and not Procreate.

    To be Fruitful is to give birth to your kind Spiritually, in order to expand the Kingdom of the Most High.

    God has Produced His kind in us and we have been empowered and mandated by God to Produce His kind in others.

    For us to walk in Dominion, we must replenish and we must remain under Authority.

    You must remain under Authority for you to walk in Dominion.

    If you are not under Authority, you will lose your Identity and end up in Captivity.

    It is the Authority that you have in Christ Jesus that makes you Superior to the devil.

    Luke 10:19 says: Behold, I give unto you Power to tread on Serpents and Scorpions, and over all the Power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

    If you don’t Submit to the Authority of God, you would lose your Authority over the devil.

    James 4:7 says, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

    Until you Submit to the Authority of God, you can never exercise Authority over Creations, over Powers and Principalities.

    Anyone that tells you the devil is not Powerful is deceiving you.

    The devil is Powerful, but he is not All-Powerful.

    What gives you an edge over the devil is not because you are as Powerful as the devil. It is because, before you exercise Power over the devil, you remain under Authority.

    The devil is likened to a dismissed Soldier whose Uniform was not collected from him – So he uses the same Uniform he was wearing when in Active Service to harass People all over the Place.

    With the Army uniform you will believe he is a Soldier, whereas, he has been dismissed – No longer under Authority.

    Now, another Soldier who is still in Active Service, under Authority can arrest the one claiming to be a Soldier but who is no longer under Authority. We have seen fake Soldiers been arrested by another Soldier.

    What is the difference – Afterall they wear the same Uniform and same Strength? One is under Authority while the other is no longer under Authority.

    A Soldier of Christ that is under Authority can arrest the devil who is a dismissed Soldier, and put him under Control.

    Please, rise up on your feet and say with me: I am a Soldier under Authority.

    The devil has been dismissed by God – He is just wearing the uniform to harass you. He is no longer under Authority.

    Today, every fake Soldiers shall be arrested – Amen.

    In your family, no more harassment – Amen.

    Hear me: The harassment of the devil is illegal. The day a real Soldier discovers a fake Soldier, that’s the day the Power of the fake Soldier will be put to rest.

    One of the things that keeps you under Authority is Obedience and Submission.

    The devil wants to reduce your Destiny to his Level; so that you too can become a fake Soldier to Christ; then he can torment you.

    That is why he will cause you to disobey Authority and become arrogant.

    He disobeyed, was Puffed up with Pride and was cast out of Heaven.

    The devil knows what made him to fall.

    He is not the Creator, he is an Imitator of what the Creator has created. He has no Originality in his Agenda. He is going about, not even like a Lion; but like a ‘Roaring’ Lion – Everything about the devil is fake. There is no Originality in the devil.

    If you do not Submit to the Authority of this Great God, you would lose your Power of Dominion.

    As I close today, I want to say this: In John 3:8, the Bible says, The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

    When you are Born Again, you are born of the Spirit, for God is a Spirit.

    And when you are born of the Spirit you operate like wind: which is another dimension of Dominion.

    When you operate like wind, wherever you want to go, you’ll go.

    The Bible says, “the bloweth where it listen…”

    What you want to become in Life, you’ll become it.

    Where you want to go in Life, you’ll go.

    The extent to which you want to rise, you’ll rise because you have the Power of Dominion.

    You are Unstoppable, you cannot be harassed, and no one can molest you.

    Why? Because you operate like the wind.

    • Nobody can stand on the way of the wind.
    • Nobody can hold the wind to ransom or tie it down.
    • Nobody can barricade the wind.

    There is Nothing like “Closed door” to the wind – Close the whole Place, wind will enter and you will become Unstoppable.

    Anywhere you want you can go and Nobody can stop you because you operate like the wind.

    Hear me, they can’t stop you. You will get to where you want to go; you’ll become what you want to become and achieve what you want to achieve.

    Why? Because you born of the Spirit.

    What is the meaning of that? It means if you are not born of the Spirit they would know where you are coming from and where you are going. They would see you, they would behold you, and the would tie you down and capture you.

    • Sin will make you visible to the enemy’s attack.
    • Sin will make you to stink.
    • Sin will make you tangible for the enemy to molest.

    But you if you are born of the Spirit, you’ll operate like the wind. Nobody can see you, Nobody can touch or harass you. They don’t know how you are doing it, but they are seeing results.

    They can’t deny the effect of your result. Why? Because you are operating like the wind.

    I Prophesy to your Life: After this encounter, your Glory will become invisible for the enemy to attack – Amen.

    Sin will make you Physical to behold. But if you are born of the Spirit you are like the wind – Nobody can hold the wind.

    ALTAR CALL

    If you are not Born Again, the enemy will use your Destiny for Pepper soup.

    If you are still struggling with sin, Surrender to the God that can help you.

    Proverbs 28:13 says, He that covereth his sins shall not Prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have Mercy.

    If you want to Genuinely Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ today, wherever you are, say with me:

    Lord Jesus, I Surrender Genuinely to You today; give me the Power to Dominate.

    Stretch forth your hands: Say LORD Jesus, I am very sorry, I have messed up. But there is a Mercy that can clear my mess.

    I want to work in Dominion from today. I want the Power of God to rest on me.

    I confess Jesus Christ as my Personal Lord and Saviour. I renounce the devil and all his works.

    Please Lord, show up for me.

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

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

    Father, we commit these Your children who have just Surrendered Genuinely to You, into Your able hand.

    Have Your way in their lives; write their names in the Book of Life. Give them Grace to conquer sin.

    Uphold them from falling; may they never go back to their vomit.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Say with me: I am created for Dominion. I am born of the Spirit, and I am operating like the wind.

    What I want to become, I become.

    What I want to achieve, I achieve.

    Where I want to give, I go.

    No more Limitation, No more Barrier, No more Obstacles.

    In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Go and Dominate!

    Go and Possess your Possession.

    Go and radiate God’s Glory.

    Go and be what you’re destined to be.

    Go and conquer, go and confront the enemies, go and win, go and succeed, go and expand!

    Go and Replenish, go and Subdue, go and Multiply, go and be Fruitful, go and Dominate.

    In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

    God Bless You – Amen.

    Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
