RCCG ANNUAL YOUNG ADULTS AND YOUTH CONVENTION 2021

THEME: EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

MINISTERING DAY 3 AFTERNOON: PASTOR ADOKIYE (YOUNG MINISTER)

TOPIC: STANDING FOR CHRIST

DATE: 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE TEXT: COLOSSIANS 2:7

Let’s sit down for a few Minutes

I want to Thank God for the Privilege we have here to Stand on this Altar.

We want to Thank our Parents in the Lord: Pastor & Pastor (Mrs) E.A Adeboye – Thank you for the Privilege.

We want to Thank God for the Set Man in Charge of the Youth over this Commission: Pastor Belemina Obunge – We trust God that God will keep him and Strengthened him the more for us in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

I was asked this afternoon to speak to us on an interesting Subject Matter – And the Subject Matter says: “STANDING FOR CHRIST”.

You will agree with me that the devil every day is recruiting Men, he is recruiting Soldiers that will Stand at the gate of the Church to fight against the Church.

In the same vein, God is looking for you and I who will Stand at the gate – Not just to defend but also to attack him (devil) and Standing for Christ.

Our Bible Text this Afternoon is found in: Colossians 2:7:

Rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the Faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with Thanksgiving.

… Rooted and built up in the Faith (2ce).

I will come to that Scriptures very soon.

You must understand that you are in a time that the Christian Faith is facing so much of Challenges, so much of Battles everywhere.

And like I will always say that the Life of a Christian is a Continuous Battle, it is a Continuous Warfare – We don’t cease to Pray, we don’t cease to Warfare.

It is Continuous that we must wrestle.

The Bible says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood.

We must continue to battle in the journey of our Faith but we have an Understanding as Believers that we come from the Stand Point of Victory – We don’t come from a Stand Point of defeat.

So then, what does it mean to Stand for Christ?

1. Number One: To Stand for Christ means to have the ability and readiness to defend Christ.

To Stand for Christ means your ability and readiness to defend Him at all cost
At all times, in any situation.

The Bible says in John 10:18 – The Bible talks about the man called Peter.

The Bible says in that day that, Peter when they came to arrest Jesus Christ; he brought something to take off the ear of somebody

Why? – Because he was Standing to defend his Master.

And many of us as Believers we have sold our Master very cheaply not knowing that we have sold him.

The world is Negotiating our Master with us and we are letting them Negotiate because we don’t have Men like you and I, who will rise to defend Him.

For to Stand up for Christ, Number one means: The Ability and the Willingness to rise to defend Him whenever there is a cause to do so.

… And there is always a cause – There is always a cause to defend Him.

The Bible talks about the Man called David.

One day there was war in the land and the Bible says the Philippians have held the People for Good forty (40) days.

And one day, David showed up like you and I and David said to his brothers when they were accusing him, when they were saying all kinds of stupid things about him and to him.

He said to them – Is there not a cause? Is there not a reason that I should Stand to defend Israel?

And the Bible says there was a cause of course – David stood and defended his God.

And God is Calling you and I; and it is time that we would rise!

In all spheres that we fall into, it is time that we will rise. And not just rise but we will rise and defend our Master, we will rise and defend our Calling, we will rise and defend our Salvation, we will rise and defend what we believe.

2. Number two, what does it mean to Stand?

Number two, it means:
To be Rooted and Grounded.

Our Bible Text says that: Rooted and Grounded and built up.

For you to defend, for you to Stand up for Christ – Child of God, you must be rooted in Him.

“The Height of a tree is a function of the depth of the root”.

And hear me child of God: “A tree can never be longer than its root”

See how high this building is, if they tell you how many feet deep the Pillars of this building are, it will surprise you.

Why? – For you to defend your Master, for you defend Christ at all cost; you must be rooted because you must have the indepth knowledge of your Master.

If you don’t have an indepth knowledge of your Master – Child of God, you cannot defend what you don’t know.

… Nobody defends what he doesn’t know!

And until you come to a Point where certain things do not move you any more then you understand that.

Because to defend Him, my friend, you need to be rooted in Him.

It means to defend our Master, to Stand for Christ means to be Rooted – To have an indepth knowledge, to have an indepth encounter with Him.

Then when you have that encounter, you have the ability to Stand.

Not everyone can Stand, Child of God; not everyone can defend Him, Child of God; not everyone can Stand for Him. It is those who have been Rooted and Established in Him that can do what? – stand for Him.

PASTOR ADOKIYE

3. Number three, what does it mean to be Rooted?

So what does it mean to Stand for Christ?

1 Peter 5:10, the Bible talks about:

After that ye have suffered a little while, He will establish thee, then he will strengthen thee.

To Stand for Christ means to be Strengthened in Christ.

If I say everyone Stand now, if you don’t have Strength you will not be able to Stand.

And the job of a defender is to have Strength to Stand at the gate to defend something.

So, if you don’t have Strength to defend, then you become a Prey to that which you want to defend.

And that is how someone will go for Deliverance and in the Process of getting to do Deliverance, he is the one that is being ended up getting to be delivered.

Why? – Because he is not Strong – No Strength, no Spiritual Strength.

Because to be rooted, to be established, you need what? – You need to be Strengthened.

Just laying a Foundation of where we are; laying the Foundation of what I’m going to be talking about.

You must come to the Point as Believers, when backsliding is no longer in our itinerary

There are some of us as Believers, backsliding can still be an option.

But for you to Stand for Christ, you would have come to that Point where you will speak like Paul: That I may know him and the Power of His Resurrection and the Fellowship of His Sufferings.

… You must come to that Point,

You must come to that point when you will realise and come to a conclusion like Esther: If I Perish, I Perish.

When you get to that Point, Child of God; then you have the ability, you will have what it takes to Stand and to defend your Maker.

So, let me run quickly because we are going to Pray in a couple of Minutes from now.

In what areas are we to Stand for Christ?

I will just share three (3) of them because of time.

In what areas are we to Stand for Christ? In
What areas of our lives, are we to Stand for Christ?

Now this is not a fashionable discussion but it is the sincerity of the Word of God that we need for the now.

1. Number one area that we need to Stand to defend our Maker is in the area of our Dressing.

Please help me tell your neighbour: The way you dress.

Help me echo to your neighbour – The way you dress!

Philippians 4:5, the Bible says: Let your Moderation be known to all Men.

.. Not some Men, not a few Men – All Men.
Let your moderation be known.

The question then is: What is the Moderation of a Believer’s Dressing?

The Bible calls us Kings and Queens – So as Kings and Queens we have a dress code, we have a dress conduct, we have the way we ought to appear for every occasion, we have a way we ought to appear.

And unfortunately, some of our appearance is an apology to the God we represent.

When a Believer begins to dress like a Gangster all in the name of Fashion – The question then is: Is he representing Christ?

How do you represent Christ with the way you dress?

Let me tell you child of God:

I. If somebody mistakes your Identity because of the way you are dressed negatively – Listen to me, you have embarrassed and you have disgraced Christ already.

II. If somebody mistakes your Identity just because of the way you appear, you have disgraced Christ.

Why? – Because you are Royal Priesthood, you are Peculiar People – There is a way expected of us to dress.

When a Believer begins, when a brother begins to sag, all in the name of fashion; the question then is: Who do you represent?

We are talking about Ambassadors of Christ.

Remember I told you I was going to talk about Standing for Christ.

It is not a Fashionable discussion for Youths I know, it is not something our Youths will love to hear – I understand.

But Child of God hear this and hear it well:

I. If your appearance does not Glorify God; then you have dishonored God already.

II. If your appearance cannot save a Soul;
If an Unbeliever cannot see your appearance and say: When I give my Life to Christ, this is how I will dress; then you have disgraced and dishonored God already.

So, Child of God; we must come to the Point, where our dressing reflects our Salvation; where our dressing, reflect the God that we serve; where our dressing can Stand for the Faith that we believe in!

… We must come to that Point!

And our dressing, we must dress to glorify God.

Everything have to be Moderate – Whatever you do, whatever you put on; it has to be Moderate and it should end up giving Glory to the Father.

2. Number two area that we can represent and we should represent God.

Please listen to me carefully, is the area of what we call doctrine –
The Christian Doctrine.

What are Doctrines?

Doctrines are the Foundations.

There are the Fundamentals of our Faith – Doctrines are the Fundamentals of our Faith. They are the believe Systems of every Commission, of every Child of God as it is given from the Scriptures.

… Those are Doctrines!

And hear me Child of God – The world is killing the Doctrines of the Church, the world is killing everything that we believe and we hold dearly and gradually, we are following them to believe it.

I wll take a few of the Doctrines – I can’t do so many, but I will just take a few:

I. I will talk about the Doctrine of Grace.

Right now all over the world; there are Popular Teachings by Popular Ministers of God, Anointed Ministers of God who have said to you and somehow, some of you are also believing it or you are thinking of believing it or you want to believe it

But I came to disabuse your Mind today that you should not believe those Doctrines because they are Doctrines from the Pit of hell.

They said once you are Born-Again, your sins are covered by Grace! – For you can continue to live in sin Grace covers it all.

*But I came to tell you –
Please help me tell your neighbour that It is a lie!

Oh, tell that neighbour very well – It is a lie!

Why? – Because Grace is not a License for sin – Grace is dominion over sin.

That is why Paul said:
Must we continue in sin that Grace abound
And he says God forbid (God forbid)

So, we must not continue in sin.

It is a Doctrine that we must Protect – It is our Integrity we must Protect, it is the Word of God that we must Protect.

We should Protect at all cost.

We have a responsibility to Protect it.

What do we Protect?

We Protect it and let our children know that Grace is not a license to sin

II. They say about Salvation that – They say once saved, once saved forever.

But remember the Bible says: “Work out your Salvation with fear and trembling”

Don’t be deceived Child of God, that once saved is saved forever.

It will shock you when you get there – Some of us will get to the Gate of Heaven and we will be shocked.

But I Pray for you that you will not be surprised when you get there – Amen! May the Gates of Heaven be opened unto you when you get there – Amen! In the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Don’t believe it, don’t accept it, don’t receive it – It is a lie from the Pit of Hell.

Once saved is not saved forever – Work it out until that day of Salvation. That last Day that the roll will be called – That is the Day.

I know that Message, once saved is saved forever is sweet for Youth – We can do anything, we have an attitude of flyers, we want to fly but while you are flying, Please calm down before you crash.

We have a responsibility to uphold the Doctrine that was handed over to us, the Teachings that were handed over to us; we have a responsibility to uphold it and we must uphold it.

Child of God, listen to me: It is you and I that will uphold it because we have to Pass it on to the Next Generation.

And we cannot Pass on that nonsense to them – That once saved is saved forever.

III. This is the issue of Sanctification.

They said there is no need to be Sanctified –
That we are washed by the Blood of the Lamb and so be it.

But the Bible says: Present your body a Living Sacrifice.

When the Bible says: Present it; it is your responsibility to do the Presentations by yourself not some other Person Presenting it for you.

So, there is an issue of Sanctification – That we set ourselves apart for the Kingdom is still there.

IV. Number 4, the issue of Resurrection, Second Coming and the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

These are the few Doctrines I just want to share with us this morning that we must hold and we must represent it.

V. And lastly, let me talk about the issue of Tithing.

It had become a serious controversy and some of us as Believers we even get involved in the discussions Online.

And all kinds of Theology, all kinds of Teachings are going round.

But the Word of God is sure and the Word of God indeed Stands forever.

Malachi 3:10 says: Bring all your Tithes.

All not some, not if you like, not when you like, not how you like, not where you like – It says bring all.

These are the Doctrines of our Christian Faith.

For those of you who have been in this Commission for a while; these were the things that were taught you when you joined this Commission, these were the things that you have believed over the Years but over this Period, People have come with all kinds of Theology and all kinds of Revelations to bamboozle you, to scatter your Mind that you cannot even relate any more.

God is saying that we need Men – You Standing there, you sitting down there and the Lord is saying He needs you and He needs me to Stand, to defend the Faith

3. And number 3, in what area do we need to Stand for Christ – In Professionalism.

The Bible says in Daniel 5:12 – The Bible talks about several Characteristics that found in Daniel.

I. Excellent Spirit, Knowledge, Interpretation of Dreams, Understanding – Ability to understand hard sentences, ability to understand and dissolve doubting sentences – All these things were found in one man called Daniel.

Listen to me: There is no Anointing in Laziness, there is no Power in Laziness, there is no Anointing in Mediocrity – No, No Anointing!

Nothing gives Glory to God in that level, in that realm.

God cannot be Glorified if you are not excelling in your business, in your job.

Now you must understand that there is one thing to represent God with your Character wherever you are.

There is another thing to represent God in your work, in the things that you do and how you do it.

Listen, if you are so Intelligent, you are so Gifted at the things you do at your Place of work and the way you do it; nobody can ignore you – It is only but a rule.

Daniel was not ignored – He could not be ignored.

The King did not like him, does not matter.
He could not be ignored.

Why?

I. Because he could represent God.

II. An Excellent Spirit was in him, an Excellent Spirit.

So, if you are working anywhere, you are doing any Business anywhere and you cannot be up on your feet and you don’t acquire so much information and so much Knowledge as to what you are doing to come out the best.

Child of God, hear me:
You are not even Glorifying God, you are not even Standing for God.

Prayers is Good, we Pray – We believe God and we Pray.

Prayers are Powerful, Fasting are Good but you cannot replace Fasting for acquisition of Knowledge, you cannot replace Prayers for acquisition of knowledge – You cannot!

They said when Preparation meets with Opportunity, Manifestation is set to abound – Once Preparation meets with Opportunity, Manifestation you can never gain say it; it will just appear.

But a Man that is not Prepared; give him ten opportunities, he will keep failing.

Why? – Because he is not Prepared for it.

And as Believers, for every lifting, there must be Preparation for that lifting, for every Advancement, there must be a Preparation for that Advancement.

Some of you, many opportunities have walked Past you – Not because God did not bring it. God brought it but you were not Prepared and so you could not even see it, when it walked Past.

How do you know something you did not even Prepare for?

How do you know, wheb something is Passing that belongs to you that you don’t even know that it belongs to you.

Why? – Because you were not Prepared for it, you were not informed for it.

So, knowledge is Key – You must acquire sufficient Knowledge to be able to represent God wherever you are.

Five (5) Kings, four (4) Kings, three (3) Kings, two (2) Kings – They had to call Daniel to serve them.

Why? – Because he had something that the Others could not give.

The Bible records that he became the President of all the Princes – A Stranger, a Captive, he became the one that was in Charge.

I Pray for you in the Name that is above every names as I Pray for myself: Wherever you go from now on; the Almighty God will put you ahead in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

The question then is: How do I Stand for Him?

I will just share three (3) things with us and I am out of your way –
We will Pray!

1. Proverbs 18:21; the Bible says: Life and death are in the Power of the tongue.

One way to Stand for God, one way to stand for Christ is through the Instrumentality of our mouth.

For you to be what? – Vocal!

“A Closed Mouth is a Closed Destiny”.

You have to open your mouth to defend the Gospel, you have to open your mouth and share the Gospel, you have to open your mouth and fight for the Gospel.

You will use your Mouth – Your Mouth!

Some of you, you have your beautiful mouth –
You gist with it from morning till night.

Beautiful Mouth, but you have not defend the Gospel by that.

You defend Christ by using your Mouth to speak up for Him.

When People are Pulling Him down, instead of joining the conversations that are going on – Though you don’t pull Him down, you raise Him up with your Mouth.

And somebody is abusing Christ where you are and instead of speaking up for Him; you say it is not my business, I don’t want to involve myself in all this discussion!

No, you have to involve yourself in the discussion

Somebody is abusing a Spiritual father where you are, you keep quiet and say: No, he is not abusing me.

But don’t worry, let me tell you – If you fail to Stand up for Christ today; if you fail to Stand up for the People that God has Placed above you as Spiritual Parents; when your turn comes to be Spiritual Parents, nobody will rise to Stand for you – Nobody!

You have to be vocal!

Help me tell your neighbour – Be vocal.

2. 2 Timothy 1:7; the Bible says: He has not given us the Spirit of fear but He has given us the Spirit of Power, love and of what? – Sound Mind.

For you to Stand for God in this Generation, you need Boldness!

Joshua had to Stand before the People of Israel – He did not have what it takes, so he was afraid like every one of us will be afraid.

The Bible says and the Lord said unto Joshua: Be courageous, do not be afraid as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

Child of God, this time more than ever before, you need the Spirit of Boldness.

You need the Spirit of Boldness, not to be afraid of any Oppression – Not to be afraid of anyone.

You need Boldness – You need to be as bold as a Lion.

3. You need to be Powerful and Fireful.

Listen to me, help me tell your neighbour
Nobody ignores Light, nobody ignores fire.

For you be in Charge and be relevant and to Stand for God, Child of God, you need Power, you need fire.

Without Power, without fire; everything you do is Jamboree – You need Power to operate.

Paul speaking said: The words that I speak to you, they are not the enticing words of Men but they are filled with the demonstration of the Power and of the Holy Ghost

Power – We are in the dispensation of Power, we are in the dispensation of fire.

Fire attracts attention.

And when a Man carries fire, even the devil will look at him once in a while to take to his heels.

Child of God, you need what? – Fire!; you need what? – Power!

The interesting thing about fire and Power is that some of you even have Power, some of you even carry fire but you do not even know you carry it.

Why? – Because you have not taken a step of Faith to lay hands on somebody, to Pray for somebody, to believe God for somebody, to see the Manifestations of the things you Pray for.

But this Afternoon, we are going to Pray
In less than two (2), three (3) Minutes – We are going to Pray and you are going to hold the hands of somebody and agree with that Person for every Challenge the Person has, for every issues the Person came to this Campground with that is yet to be resolved, you are going to agree with that Person in your Spirit, you going to agree with that Person Physically and you are going to tell God: Lord, as I hold this Person and I Pray a Prayer of Agreement – The Bible says when two (2) or whatever agree on Earth, so shall it be established in Heaven.

You are going to say:
As I Pray for this Person – Whatever the Challenge is, let it drop here now.

How many of you believe it will happen right now?

If you believe, let me hear your Amen loud and clear – Amen!!!

I am not talking to Unbelievers – If you are a Believer and you believe that as you Pray for that Person you are holding; every Challenges that the Person is having, will drop now.

Let me hear your Amen loud and clear – Amen!!!

You are about to Pray for the Person – I want you to gather Spiritual Energy and gather Spiritual Strength and you are going to Pray for that Person with everything inside of you.

And as that Person is leaving your hands today, right now, whatever the Person has as a Challenge; before your very eyes, God will settle that Person now in the name of Jesus – Amen!

As you are holding that Person – I will Pray for you in just a minute.

I will Pray – If you can Pray in the Holy Spirit, you Pray with me for one minute or so; then when we will Pray for that one minute.

I will let you Pray for that Person according to the Spirit and according to your Understanding.

And as you Pray for that Person for a few minutes, you will see same Person, the situation will drop right now in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

The burdens will give way right now in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

The heavy load will give way right now in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

The Oppressors will leave you right now in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Now lift your voice if you can speak in the Holy Ghost – Just help me Pray for one minute. Let us Pray for one minute.

(Prayers in the Holy Ghost)

Open your mouth and Pray …

I Pray for you that you remain Grounded and Rooted in Christ in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

RCCG ANNUAL YOUNG ADULTS AND YOUTH CONVENTION 2021

THEME: EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

MINISTERING DAY 2 (MORNING): PASTOR BELEMINA OBUNGE (INTERCONTINENTAL YOUTH PASTOR, RCCG)

TOPIC: PRINCIPLES OF EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

DATE: 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 8:18

Call: Exceeding
Response: Expectation

Now listen, when I shout: We are; I want you to answer by saying: Exceeding Expectations.

Do you get that?

We are Exceeding Expectations!

It is my believe, it is my Prayer that by reason of your being in this Conference; the DNA, the Life Style of Exceeding Expectations shall be your lifestyle in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

I believe that by reason of being Part of this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; somebody shall be tapping into the Grace of Exceeding Expectations – Amen!

You can’t be in the Redemption Camp
And not tap into the Grace of our Father-in-the-Lord because Daddy GO is a Man that exceeds Expectations.

And I believe there is someone listening to my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Bible says the Glory of the later shall be Greater than the Former. I stand to declare for someone here: As you continue, that Grace of Exceeding Expectation will rest upon you in the name of Jesus – Amen!

SONG

You are Great
You do Miracles so Great
There is no One else like You
There is no One else like You

For You are Great
You do Miracles so Great
There is no One else like You
There is no One else like You

… Repeat!

OPENING PRAYER

Unto He who is able to do Exceedingly Abundantly above All
that we ask, think or do; unto He who is the Almighty, unto He who is our God, our Father, our Maker; be thou exalted in the Name of Jesus.

Unto He who has created us in His Image with a DNA of Exceeding Expectations, be Glorified in the Name of Jesus.

And I ask Oh Lord! as we connect with Your Words; that Grace of Exceeding Expectations be released unto us in the Name of Jesus.

Blessed be thy Name!

In Jesus Glorious Name we Pray – Amen!

I believe I would be Permitted to come down and you may be seated.

And Isaiah 8:18.

Isaiah 8:18 tells us something that is Pronounced – Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for Signs and for Wonders.

Tell your neighbour:
I am a Wonder to my Generation!

You see when we talk of Exceeding Expectations; we are talking about: Being Bigger, being Better and going Beyond.

I declare unto someone here: You shall be bigger than those that are your Superiors in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

In the works of your hands; you shall be better than those that have gone before you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

And I Stand to declare: Whatever that has been a barrier; you are going beyond that barrier in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Let someone shout:
I am exceeding Expectations.

When is your time – Now!

You see there was someone in the Bible called David – He had the DNA of Exceeding Expectations.

In whatever David did; that DNA of Exceeding Expectations was in him

Is there anyone here today listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC that connects with the DNA of Exceeding Expectations?

Is there anyone like that? – Because you are created in the Image of God.

I Stand in Agreement with the Word of God, you will Exceed Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

There’s the Grace: Grace to do what? – Exceeding Expectations.

There is something Unique about David.

Some of you can’t understand David’s Lifestyle – David’s Passion towards God was such that even though he was a Teenager, because he was Passionate towards God; every Goliaths that came before him, he pulled them down.

I am speaking to someone that is Passionate: Every Goliaths before you shall be Pulled down in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Somebody that has looked down on you, shall begin to look up and honour you – Amen!

Before the end of this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; they shall begin to honour you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

… Because you are – Exceeding Expectations.

Just chop knuckle with someone beside you and say: We are Exceeding Expectations!

I will be sharing with you some Principles of Exceeding Expectations?

1. For you to Exceed Expectations, Number One: YOU MUST IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE.

You cannot Exceed Expectations when you are working in another man’s Calling, you cannot Exceed Expectations when you are working Outside God’s Purpose for your Life.

Show me anyone that has exceeded Expectations and I will show you that Person that has identified his or her Purpose in Life and they are working in accordance with their Purpose.

Too often, we try to imitate others instead of connecting with God’s Purpose for our Life.

As long as you are a counterfeit, you cannot Exceed Expectations.

As long as you don’t connect with the Purpose of God for your Life, you cannot Exceed Expectations.

The Word of God makes it clear in Romans 8:28 – That God will cause all things to work together for your Good.

… Once you identify with His Call and with His Purpose.

So, when you are working in accordance with God’s Purpose:

I. When People are trying to Pull you down, it leads to your Promotion in Life.

II. When People are ignoring you; God will be lifting you.

III. When People are telling you – You cannot make it; because God is causing things to work for your Good, all of a sudden you will become a Celebrity because you have identified your Purpose.

I Stand to declare to someone around here: To someone that heard my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: As you identify your Purpose, you shall Exceed Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

It maybe in Media, it maybe in Sports, it maybe in Technology, it maybe in Education, it maybe in Diverse Areas but I Stand for someone that heareth my Voice or reading now: As you jump, the Lord shall release unto you that Grace to Exceed Expectations.
Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

You must identify your Purpose in Life!

David identified his Purpose – They tried to hide him, they tried to reject him but God caused a Problem to come forth so that David’s Purpose could be made manifested.

For someone here
God will allow a Problem to come out so that he will Position you to be celebrated, to manifest your Purpose, to Exceed Expectations, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Lift your hands and say: My Father, My Father; as I identify my Purpose in Life, I will Exceed Expectations.
Help me Oh God.

Pray that Prayer for 15 Seconds!

With a Trinity Amen –
So shall it be in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

You may kindly be seated.

2. In the Second instance, for you to Exceed Expectations:
   YOU MUST IGNITE THE POTENTIALS WITHIN YOU.

Genesis 1:28 tells me: And God blessed Man.

That means God released into Man Potentials.

And God said by reason of the Potentials I have released unto you:
Be Fruitful, Multiply, Replenish, Subdue, Dominate, Exceed Expectations.

… But you need to ignite the Potentials within you

Manifested Potentials makes you essential to your Generation.

And God releases unto you the Ability so that you don’t become a Liability.

Lift your hands and say: Father, I speak forth by the Power of Your Words; as this Message goes forth, may the Potentials in your sons and your daughters be Stirred up in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

The Treasure you have deposited in them, may it never be wasted – Amen!; may it bring Greatness into your lives, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

2 Corinthians 4:7 tells me that we have a Potential.

The Bible says we have in us a Treasure so that the Excellency of God shall be made manifest.

The Treasures are your Potentials, the Treasures are the Gift God has deposited in you; the Treasures are the Blessings of God upon your Life!

You see, I come from Rivers State – Rivers State is the State that has Treasures.

… The Treasure base of the Nation!

But you see, before you get to that Treasure called Oil, you go into the mud.

You don’t care about the mud because you are going for Treasures.

I declare in the Name of Jesus: No matter the mud in your life; the Treasure in you shall begin to come forth, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

The Excellency of God in you that shall cause you to be celebrated before the end of this Year – Amen; I declare that it shall bring Celebrations to your family, shall bring Celebrations to your Life, shall bring Celebrations to the Church in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Beloved, we must ignite our Potentials.

You may ask what is Potentials?

I. Potential is that “Dormant Ability” in you.

II. Potential is your “Untapped Power”.

III. Potential is that “Hidden Strength” in you waiting to manifest.

IV. Potential is your “Unreleased Talent”.

But it is about time that those Talents shall bring celebration into your Life – Amen

V. Potential is your “Used Success”.

I believe somebody that has had a History of failure; before this RCCG Youth Convention 2021 comes to an end; there shall be a Turnaround in the Name of Jesus – Amen!.

VI. Potential is all you can yet become; Potential is all you can yet do but you are not yet doing.

VII. Potential is who you are but Nobody knows it yet.

But I believe as we move into the Month of October; somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC shall be Celebrated – Amen!; somebody here shall move into Significance – Amen!;
somebody here shall move to a Higher Level of Greatness – Amen!

Let that Person shout a loud Yea – Yea!!!

The Bible says: A Man’s Gift maketh room for him and brings him before Great Men – Proverbs 18:16.

I believe that somebody’s Gift shall cause Great Men to come and rush you. And they shall locate you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

As you discover, you implement and you manifest your Potentials; the Great shall call you Great – Amen!

Tell someone beside you – You are sitting beside Greatness.

And if there is a Witness; let me hear a loud Amen – Amen!

Gideon was a Young Man – He did not know what was deposited in him, he was complaining, he was hiding.

Tell someone: Stop hiding, Stop hiding, Stop hiding.

Gideon was hiding away because he did not understand the Potentials deposited in him.

But the Angel of the Lord came and called him: Thou Mighty man of Valour.

Hey, from that moment the veil covering Gideon’s eyes was removed.

Every veil covering your eyes be removed by Fire in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Every veil that has hindered you to manifesting your Potentials:
Holy Ghost – Fire!!!
Holy Ghost – Fire!!!
Holy Ghost – Fire!!!

Let someone just celebrate the Lord –
Hallelujah!!!

3. In the Third instance, for you to Exceed Expectations: YOU INVOKE THE POWER OF GOD.

An iron has Potentials but until you put Power, the iron is useless.

Let someone shout: Power – Power!

The Lord said: And you shall receive (Power) after the Holy Ghost has come.

And your Life, your Testimonies shall begin to witness GIA – God In Action.

When the Power of God is Operational, People begin to see God in Action in your Life.

I. They begin to see God in Action in your Works.

II. They begin to see God in Action in your Business.

III. They see God in Action in Ministry.

IV. God in Action in Sports.

V. God in Action in Technology.

VI. God in Action in your Entertainment.

VII. God in Action in your Skills.

Let someone shout: God In Action (GIA).

You see the Disciples; they needed God in Action – They waited in the Upper Room and the Bible says:
They that wait upon the Lord, the Lord shall renew their Strength.

He shall release Power, they shall Mount, they shall Soar, they shall Exceed Expectations.

If there is a Witness, shout a loud Power – Power!

They waited for Power!

Is there anyone that needs Power? Say: My Father, My Father; release Your Power for my Life.

I want to Exceed Expectations -Turn that into Prayer

In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with (Power)
He began to waka, waka, waka – He went about doing what? – Good; He went about Exceeding Expectations because He had Power.

I declare and decree: The God of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); The God of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye; The God who says once I have spoken, twice you have heard that Power belongeth unto Me – That same God will release Power unto you in the name of Jesus – Amen!

Receive Power in the name of Jesus – Amen!

… His Power makes you a Wonder

Let me just show you this, in Luke 1:34-35:

The Angel told Mary even though no Man has seen you; you shall bring forth a child.

What People have never seen? What is beyond Expectations?
What People have never heard? – Shall be made manifest through you.

Mary said: How can this thing be? How can I be a Wonder?
How can I Exceed Expectations?

And the Angel said: The Holy Ghost shall come upon you. The Power of the Highest shall overshadow you.

*I am declaring during the course of this RCCG Youth Convention: The Power of the Highest shall overshadow you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!; The Power from Above shall overshadow – Amen!

In front of you – Power, behind you – Power, on the Right hand side – Power, on the Left hand side – Power.

… All around you – Power!

When hell tries to operate against you from underneath, what shall they encounter – Power!

As the Power of God is released; I declare and decree, you shall be for Wonders – Amen!, you shall Exceed Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

4. In the fourth instance, for you to Exceed Expectations:
   IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

You cannot improve your Productivity, you cannot remain on the same spot and you want to achieve Greater Height?

For you to achieve Greater Height, you must climb!

You see Brethren, the Word of God tells me that you should forget the Old things – And the Lord said that you should be Fruitful in every Good work – Colossians 1:10.

Never allow any Person to Place a ceiling on your life by telling you, you have tried enough.

Never say: I have tried my best because I believe someone here can be better than they are right now – Amen! Someone here can put in more Efforts than they have put in times Past.
Someone here can improve whatever they have done, the Height they have reached in times Past.

If you are such a Person, lift your hands and shout – Higher!

Proverbs 1:5 says: A Wise Man will hear, and increase learning

You cannot come for this kind of Convention and you will not increase in Life.

You cannot come for a Convention that has been Packaged like this and you remain on the same Level.
It is an Error!

I hear the Lord tell me that by reason of somebody hearing my voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Lord says, the Wisdom to cause you to be celebrated is being released unto you now – Amen!

Receive in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Grow in Grace – Amen!

That Grace of Exceeding Expectations – Grow in Grace.

As you lift your hands, the Grace to Exceed Expectations may it increase in your Life in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

When I joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Year 1983; we were using an Auditorium near the gate – 100m by 50m.

It was the largest Auditorium, I have seen in my Life and I thought that was big enough.

But once I came for Convention and I realised that the Auditorium had increased.

Before we could say Jack Robinson, we filled that Auditorium and we moved to another Auditorium eight times bigger with Increase, Improvement.

That Auditorium was massive but little did I realised that it was the Children Auditorium.

After a few Years, our Father-in-the-Lord said we have not yet started and that we must increase, we must improve.

Now we are in an Auditorium 3Km by 3Km and we have not yet started.

By the Grace of God, the largest Auditorium in the world – 3Km by 3Km is right here in the RCCG Redemption Camp and I believe that there is someone that is connecting to that Grace of Improvement, of Increase is being released unto you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Improve your Productivity:

I. If you have been working well; work better.

II. If you have been working better; Work much better.

III. If you have been working much better; Exceed the much better.

IV. If you have been Exceeding the much better; do Abundantly Above the much better.

V. If you have been doing Exceedingly Abundantly much better, do Exceedingly, Exceedingly, Exceeding Above the much better.

At every facet of your Life – Exceed Expectations!

For those of you that are working in your office, you must celebrated for Exceeding Expectations.

In the Church, you must be celebrated –
You must be known for Exceeding Expectations.

With Talents and your Gifts; you will be renowned by reason of Exceeding Expectations.

But you must improve
You must Improve!

Thank God for the Internet; thank God for knowledge that is released and so you have no excuse!

Kindly lift your hands again and say: Daddy, the Almighty God; we connect with the Grace and the Mandate upon The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), upon our Father-in-the-Lord. And I declare as many hands are lifted all over the world: Because The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is a Global Brand; these ones shall become Global Brand’s in the Name of Jesus – Amen!; Because you have lifted The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), I declare lifting be the Portion of your children in the name of Jesus – Amen!

Listen Brethren: You may be dumped in a corner; People may have forgotten you but the Bible says: Underneath us are the Everlasting Hands of God. Because your Season has come, the Eyes of the Lord shall go forth and the Lord shall locate you and lift you – Amen!

Underneath you are His Everlasting Hands – He shall lift you above shame, above Reproach, above Limitations, above Atrocities, above those that are mocking you – Amen

Because His Hands are not Limited, your lifting shall not be limited – Amen and you shall be Exceeding Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

When is your time – Now!

5. In the Fifth instance, for you to Exceed Expectations is: YOU MUST BE AN INNOVATIVE PERSON.

Don’t forget the Bible tells us: I will do a New Thing (Isaiah 43:18-19).

Remember not the former things – It says: I will do a New Thing.
When shall it spring forth – Now!

Innovation: Doing an Old Thing in a New Way. Coming up with Ideas that the Lord release unto you.

Kindly put your hands on your head – And why don’t you say: My Father, my Father
I receive Inspiration for Innovation.

Pray that Prayer in the Name of Jesus!

I receive Inspiration for Innovation in Technology, in Science, in Arts, in Entertainment. With my Skills, with my Gifting in Ministry, in Government, in Economics, in Finances – I receive Inspiration for Innovation.

Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Romans 12:2 says: Be not confound to this world.

Be not confound by what others have said, be not confound with the Mindset of Others because your Mindset determines your footsteps.

Don’t be confound but be ye transformed.

Transformed by the renewal – Innovation
Renewal of your Mind to Prove the Good Acceptable and Perfect Will of God

As you have placed your hands on your head; I declare the Renewal of your Mind to give you Innovative Ideas.

Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

For that Challenge, for that Problem, for that situation; the Renewal of your Mind to begin to operate with innovation – Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

What I heard the Lord tell me now is that before the end of this Year; someone that is here or listening to me on the internet or reading now on the Label of DMC – You shall be Celebrated by reason of an Innovative Idea – Amen!

In Nigeria, you shall be celebrated by reason of an Innovative Idea – Amen!

Don’t hold it back, go forth in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

I want someone to just say: I am going Forward!

Beloved, I Stand in the office of Intercontinental Anointing and I declare that in Africa, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in Europe, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in Asia, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in Australia, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in the Americans, you shall be celebrated – Amen.

Globally, by reason of Innovation, you shall be celebrated in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Lift your hands and say: My Father, my Father; I reject every yoke of Limitation operating over my Mindset.

Pray that in the Name of Jesus!

The world is about to celebrate The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in a unique dimension.

Members of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), and other Members of any other Missions of the Body of Christ connecting with this Programme; I declare Innovative Spirit is released in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

6. For you to Exceed Expectations, make sure in whatever you do: YOU INSTILL PASSION.

David was a Passionate Person.

In Psalms 69:1, he said: The zeal of my father’s house has eaten me up.

Whatever you see me do, I do with zeal –
When I Praise God, I Praise God with Zeal;
I manifest my Talent with zeal; I conquer Goliath with zeal; I give to the Glory of God with zeal – 24/7 zeal!

He said the zeal of my father’s house has eaten me up – You don’t see me, you see the zeal of God all over me.

That’s why the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatever your hands finds to do, do with thy Might.

Passion: This is an Outward Drive driven by Inner Conviction.

… An Outward drive that comes about by an Inner Conviction.

If you are not convicted, you cannot be Passionate.

Passion is fuel to your Vision, Passion drives you, Passion delivers you, Passion distinguishes you.

The Bible says: Don’t be Slothful in Business – Be fervent, be Zealous, be Passionate in spirit serving the Lord.

Why don’t you say: My Father, my Father; by the Power of Your Word; I receive a New Level of Passion in the Operation, in my Lifestyle, in my Operations, in my Lifestyle.

I receive Passion, I will manifest Passion.

Pray that in the Name of Jesus.

In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

You see Brethren; you cannot fake Passion.

I speak forth the Grace to be Passionate, the Grace to reject Slothfulness, the Grace to move with Passion – May that Grace be released unto you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Lift your hands and say: Oh Lord, I reject every Spirit of Slothfulness. I am not your Candidate in the Name of Jesus!

In the corridors of my Assignment, in my Day-To-Day Life; I reject Slothfulness; I am not your Candidate in Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

Kindly lift your hands
As from today – The 28th Day of September 2021: May New Level of Passion be made manifest through you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

That Level of Passion that shall bring Relevance and Significance; that level of Passion that shall cause you never to be ignored, that level of Passion that will enable you to Exceed Expectations – Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Every Slothful Agents operating over your Life; every Slothful Spirit operating over your Life; Holy Ghost – Fire!!! (2ce)

I want to see someone run with Passion – Hallelujah!

Thank you, Jesus
(Praying in Tongues)
Thank you!

In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

7. Finally Brethren, for anyone to Exceed Expectations; you need to invite His Presence.

You need His Presence!

Moses said till I have Your Presence, I am not continuing with any Assignment.

The Disciples waited for His Presence to be made manifest.

Simon Peter toiled all Night and he caught Nothing.

As he connected with the Presence of Jesus Christ; he exceeded Expectations.

We need His Presence
(Praying in tongues).
In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

When I was Praying for this Meeting, the Lord said: I am ready –
I am ready to release the Grace for My Children to Exceed Expectations.

But the Lord said that some of My Children are not yet ready.

The word of God tells me in Isaiah 59 that there is one stumbling block – It is called sin.

The moment Samson compromised, he no longer exceeded Expectations.

While praying for this Meeting, the Lord said: He is ready to release the Grace for you to exceed expectations – Amen!

He said but I am a God whose Words never fails – Isaiah 59.

The Lord said there is something called Iniquity, something called Compromise, something called Sin that Pollutes the DNA of God in you, that hinders your manifest in that Grace.

I heard Two hundred –
The Lord said there are at least two hundred (200) Persons here who have missed out on that Grace – Out of Pressure, out of Challenges, out of Situations. They have missed out of that Grace.

The Lord said: I am connecting them with that Grace today – Amen!

He said without me, you can do Nothing.

But when you abide in Me and my Words abide in you; you shall bear much Fruit, you shall Exceed Expectations – Amen!

Some People may need to move back a while but okay, you may be here.

If you are amongst those two hundred (200) – You realised that you have missed it in times Past, you have missed it, you have compromised out of Pressure.

You have missed it and you are saying: Lord, today I want to make my ways right
I want to tap into that Grace

I may have missed it but I have not missed this Programme.

I may have missed it before but today I am tapping into that Grace.

If you are amongst those two hundred (200) and you are saying: Lord I want You to give me a New Beginning, I want to put my ways right with You, I want to live a Life of Holiness. I have missed it before but today I am asking you to help me.

ALTAR CALL

If you are amongst those two hundred (200) just lift your hands I will Pray with you.

If you are amongst those People and you are saying today
I am re-dedicating my Life; If you are amongst those two hundred (200) you can Please kindly go back to your seats while those two hundred (200) just stay close to this Altar now.

If you are amongst those two hundred (200); just stay close to this altar – The others we thank God for your Life: The Lord is doing something New today.

If you are amongst those two hundred (200) just stay right by this Altar.

Thank you, Jesus!

SONG

I surrender all to You
Everything I give to You
Withholding Nothing (2ce)
I surrender all to You
Everything I give to You
Withholding nothing (2ce)

I give myself away (2ce)
So You can use me

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

SONG

When I am down and, oh my Soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the Silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can Stand on Mountains
You raise me up, to walk on Stormy seas
I am Strong, when I am on your Shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

OPENING PRAYER

Father, we are Trusting You for a lifting at this Hour.

We are tired where we used to be; Please take us to another Level as we Exceed Expectations.

In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Father, we made welcome the Holy Spirit and we give Jesus Christ a really Big Hallelujah.

Brothers and Sisters and everyone watching us Online inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC at this time – I have been asked to Minister to us very quickly in: “BREAKING FINANCIAL LIMITATIONS”.

… You want to Exceed Expectations; you need to break every forms of Financial Limitations

The Bible told us in 3 John 1:2 – It said: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest Prosper and be in Health, even as thy Soul Prospereth.

I. “Thou Mayest Prosper” is talking about Financial Prosperity.

II. “Being in Health” which is Physical Prosperity.

III. “Even as our Soul Prospers” which is equally Spiritual Prosperity.

So, it is God’s Ultimate desire for each and everyone of us to Prosper Financially!

That is why He said: “I wish above all things” – Much more than you could think; God wants us to Exceed Financially.

I have come to discover that if you are want to break every forms of Financial Limitations; you need to have the Keys that Unlock Financial Bondage!

I. A Limitation is that thing that kept you down.

II. A Limitation is that thing that Prevent you from rising.

III. A Limitation is that thing that kept you on a spot.

IV. A Limitation is that thing that will not allow you to Exceed Expectations.

V. A Limitation is that thing that want you to stop where your fathers stopped.

Today, I Pray that everything that kept you down Financially; they shall be broken in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Everyone of us, in one way or the other has been limited Financially – I have come to realised that all Classes of People: The Rich and the Poor; many have suffered Financial Bondage and Captivity.

Poverty is like a Cancer – It is something that will not allow you fulfill Divine Mandate!

And so, if you must break Financial Limitations; you need Financial Dominion and Financial Freedom!

Financial Freedom is breaking off the shakles of those things that kept you down.

An Adage says that: The Rich also cry.

It is not far fetched that though we have some People that are Rich but they are still under Financial Bondage or they are still battling with Financial Limitations.

I used to have an Uncle – He is no more today.

But several Years back in Ibadan in Oyo State Nigeria; I visited him and on getting to his house I noticed that for Months my Uncle in the early 80’s God blessed him and he was able to Purchase a Peugeot 505 – Evolution, it was called.

We covered it everyday – Maybe once a week, we remove the tarpaulin that was used to cover it and wash the car and then cover it back (DMC Note: A Tarpaulin is an heavy-duty waterproof cloth)

He was one of those God blessed in the family who was able to Purchase a “Fabric Sofa” and also refused to remove the nylon. All the foams in all the rooms were covered with nylon

And I told his wife – What is the Purpose of a car if it is not fulfilling its Purpose? Why should a car be covered?

So, I removed all the nylons on the chairs, on the foams and everything.

And my Uncle came back and was very furious – Do you know how much I bought it? Do you know that it will get spoilt on time?

I said: Uncle, the fact that you are rich means that you should know the Usefulness of Money – You must be in Charge of Money and Money should not control you.

1 Timothy 6: 17-19 – The Bible says:

17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
18. That they do Good, that they be rich in Good works, ready to distribute, Willing to Communicate.
19. Laying up in Store for themselves a Good Foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on Eternal Life.

… How many things? – All things!

Beloved Brethren; the Purpose of being Wealthy is that you should do Good – Willing to Communicate, ready to Distribute!

In other words: The Purpose of God Blessing you is to have the Mindset, the Understanding that Wealth in this Kingdom is about the Distribution and not about the Accumulation!

The Bible says: Laying Up the Stores for themselves a Good Foundation against the time to come that they may lay holds on Eternal Life.

I. God is Blessing you so that you can share with Others.

II. God is blessing you so that you can know the Purpose and the Usefulness of Money.

III. God is blessing you so that you can Communicate Wealth to Others.

Anything outside of this is not of God!

So, Wealth in this Kingdom is about its Communication and not about its Accumulation!

Why do we need to break off from Financial Limitations?

The reason is Simple – Because of the Pains of Poverty

Proverbs 19:4 says: Wealth maketh many friends; but the Poor is separated from his neighbour.

If you have money, you see a lot of People floating around you.

If the Lord had blessed you, you see many People coming to you. But once you are Poor Beloved Brethrens, you Stand alone.

… A lot of People don’t associate with Poverty.

Proverbs 10:15 buttress the same Point: The rich Man’s Wealth is his Strong City: the destruction of the Poor is their Poverty.

Money is Good Beloved Brethrens – No wonder the Bible says that: Money answereth all things.

Even though Money is not everything as I will like you to know that Money has its own Limitations.

Money is Good for the Prosperity of the Kingdom of God but equally, Money has its own Limitations!

For Example:

I. Your Money can buy you a Waterbed but cannot give you a “Sound Sleep”.

II. Your Money can guarantee you all Medical Services in the world but the Money cannot keep you alive.

We have a lot of People that has access to Money but Money fails when Sickness comes!

III. Your Money can cause a Rich Man to marry a Beauty Queen but you should also agree with me that Money cannot guarantee that Man to win a Love.

IV. Your Money can give you all the Security Gadgets in the world but your Money cannot guarantee you “Maximum Security”.

V. Your Money can buy you any Judgement in the world today but of course we know that your Money cannot buy you “The White Throne Judgement”.

The Truth of the matter is that Money has its Limitations and that is why we need to break off from the Pains of Poverty.

It is a terrible thing to be Poor.

When you consider the Pains of Poverty:

I. You are treated as Underlined.

II. Poverty cause People to move away from you.

III. They look down on you.

And that is the reason why the Need today to Exceed Expectations in the area of Finance!

And I’m trusting God Almighty that He will grant us the Opportunity, the Grace and the Privilege to break every Financial Limitations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

For the records, I will like to stress this quickly: Money comes from God – Financial Dominion, Financial Lifting only comes from God!

Deuteronomy 8:18 says: But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee Power to get Wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Money comes from the Lord – And so if there is anyone here or those reading now on the Label of DMC; trusting God for Financial Breakthrough, you only need to “Look Up” to God who is the Source!

Because if you are disconnected from the Source; it is just a matter of time as you will soon lack Resources.

Psalms 66:12 says: Thou hast caused Men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a Wealthy Place.

Coming to a Wealthy Place is only orchestrated by Divine Presence and by God Himself!

… You can’t come into the “Wealthy Place” if God did not Permit!

I want to salute God’s General – Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for he has done so much on this Topic on Day 4 Afternoon Session on the Topic: Change Your Mindset

But you know the Truth of the matter is that: The Horse is Prepared against the Day of battle but Safety is of the Lord.

Long Lasting Money only comes from God – If God is the One that blesses you, then no enemy can curse you!

I also like you to know that: Even if such People take Shortcut to Wealth; Shortcut are liable to cut their Life short!

Proverbs 28:20 – The Bible says: A Faithful Man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

Another Translation says: … Shall not go Unpunished.

Many People are not Willing to wait upon the Lord – A lot of People are looking for “Jehovah Sharp Sharp”; they want to cut corners to make Wealth.

And that is why you see a lot of Ritual Killings in the world today because People are Willing to cut corners.

What is the Purpose of the Kind of Wealth you acquired at the expense of your Health? – Because eventually, you will spend the whole Wealth in trying to recover your Health.

Proverbs 13:11 – The Bible says: Wealth gotten by Vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by Labour shall Increase.

Pastor Matthew said that there is no “Bad Money” on Day 4 Afternoon Session. That Money only takes its Colourations from its Handlers – Money is just a Legal Tender but the one who is handling the Money is the one who determines if the Money is Clean or not.

Money is essential – Many of us gives Money different names:

I. In Church, we call it Tithe or Offering.

II. When you borrow it from the bank; it is called a Loan.

III. When you are Paid for a Whole Month Service, it is called Salary or Wages if Paid Daily/Weekly.

IV. When you wrongly received it to Pervert Judgement, it is called Bribe.

V. What you give to a Waiter for Service rendered is called Tips.

VI. What you collect after Retirement is called Pension.

VII. What you Paid during a Marriage rite is called Dowry.

VIII. What you Paid in Court when you make a Divorce and you are asked to Pay for it is called Fine.

IX. What you Paid to Kidnappers when someone is suddenly Kidnap is called Ransom.

X. What you get as a Reward offered for Increased Productivity for Essential Services is called Incentives.

XI. What you get as a Compensation for Service is also called Emunulment.

XII. What you Pay in School is called Fees.

XIII. What you Pay to your Landlord is called Rent.

XIV. Pastors, what you received after Ministrations is called Honorarium.

Money is Good but there are Keys to unlock the world of Financial Prosperity.

You can’t break Financial Limitations until you Possess these keys.

Money is of Value and wherever Valuables are kept, there is a Door that seals it up!

And that is why you need keys because if you don’t have these keys; you may be frustrated in your attempt looking for one.

In these Service, as God opens my eyes to see; I am going to release to us six (6) keys to break every Financial Limitations:

KEY NO 1: THE KEY OF OBEDIENCE

Obedience that is not Absolute is impotent.

Deuteronomy 28: 1-2 – The Bible says:

1. And it shall come to Pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the Voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all His Commandments which I Command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on High above all Nations of the Earth:
2. And all these Blessings (All Blessings your Heart desires) shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of the LORD thy God.

Many times, the Voice of the Lord is sounding so loud but the Voice of the People and the Voice of Reasoning overriding it.

Beloved Brethren, you have not taken a Step into breaking Financial Limitations until you fulfill the Key of Obedience.

The Bible says in Isaiah 1:19 – It says: If you are Willing and Obedience, you shall eat the Good of the Land.

Every Land has its own Goodies and it takes your Willingness, it takes your Obedience to unravel it.

Many People are Willing but only a few are Obedient.

And many of the Divine Blessings are arranged and well Packaged in our Obedience.

Ninety Nine Percent (99%) Obedience is not required when it comes to this Kingdom – It takes One Hundred Percent (100%).

Imagine a Man that left home to come to Church – Singing as he is coming and all of a sudden get to the Church and an Usher (Slim or Short) said: Good Morning sir, Please can you sit down here?

And you look at the Usher: Don’t you know who I am? We are the Leaders here; we know where to sit. You must be one of the New Ushers that just came to Church – God Bless You, I know where to sit.

And you go ahead to take another seat which was not assigned to you by the Usher standing there – Who happened to be “The Power that be”.

The Bible says that the Power that be are Ordained by God.

Listen to this – This is the implications: That Usher Standing there represent the Authority of the Pastor; the Pastor represent the Authority of the General Overseer; the General Overseer represent the Authority of Heaven.

… Now, the Bible says that: The Power that be are Ordained by God.

That Usher may be little before you but once you disobeyed him/her; and you take another seat, you miss your Blessings for that Service because where he/she asked you to sit; that is where Heaven in accordance to His Words has Programmed your Blessings!

Do you now see the reason(s) why many People come to Church but only a few had come to the Knowledge of Christ.

In the Book of 1 Samuel 15: 12-23 – Here you see the Story of God giving King Saul a Second Chance.

He first gave him opportunity in 1 Samuel Chapter 13 but Saul could no longer wait because in the Bible there are no King/Priest – You are either a King or a Priest.

Saul at that time happened to be a King but the Bible tells us that Israel will not go to war until a Sacrifice had been made.

Saul was expecting Samuel to come and Perform the Sacrifice and at that Junction, a lot of People has left him because he was busy waiting.

Israel will not go to war until Sacrifice has been made.

Now, the enemies had gathered together in Michmash and in Mount Bethel ready to wag war against the children of Israel.

And the Bible says immediately King Saul offered the Sacrifice – Which only a Priest could have offered.

Why did Samuel delayed?

Because of the aftermath of the Statement made; I believed that he must have been in Consultation with the Trinity – Asking God we don’t need to be changing Kings, let the Kingdom of Saul reigned forever.

And God said that I have told you that I will give you a Man after my own heart; a Man that will obey Me when I instruct – I will give you a Man that his Loyalty will be to Me.

And Samuel said: Please Lord, we don’t want to be Changing King and God said that on one Condition – If you maintained your Prayer; go down there. If you meet Saul waiting for you, his Kingdom will be forever.

… Which means that there won’t have been anything called “King David”.

But Saul couldn’t wait – He said because I saw the People scattered from me and you have not come according to the Time Appointed; I therefore force myself to offer a Sacrifice which only a Priest would have offered.

And Samuel said that you have done foolishly – He said that your Kingdom over Israel would have been established forever. He said now, the Kingdom will not continue.

Can I Pray for somebody in the House or reading now on the Label of DMC: May your Kingdom not be discontinued on the Account of Disobedience – Amen.

In 1 Samuel Chapter 15; God gave him another Chance – Go and destroyed the Amalekites; destroy the King and everything that breathes there.

What did Saul did?

He said that the People said that I should spared the fatling (DMC NOTES: A Fatling is a Young animal that has been fattened in readiness for slaughter.) and also equally spared the King.

As soon as Samuel returned, he said: What have you done?

He (Saul) said that the People said that we should make Sacrifice to the Lord.

And Samuel said: Did the Lord delight in Sacrifice other than obeying His Voice?

This is why Obedience is a “Mega Key” in this Kingdom – You cannot do without it. If you want to Exceed Expectations; the Number One Key is Obedience.

So, Samuel said: For to obey is better than Sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams.

I wish Saul could see into the Future and know the reason why God will give such a “Brutal Command” – Destroy everything that breathe including the children that sucks?

Why will God give such a Command?

Because there is a Tribe that Wickedness is in their DNA.

DMC NOTES: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the Hereditary Material in Humans and almost all other Organisms. Nearly every cell in a Person’s body has the same DNA. … The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

I know that many of you has not thought about this: Have you ever asked yourself what was the Offence of Mordecai to Haman? Why is it that Haman wanted Mordecai dead by all means?

Someone said that it is because Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman.

But the Truth is that this is not enough to attempt to finish his entire race.

But when you attempt to dig into their Foundations:

I. Who was Mordecai?

The Bible says that Mordecai is the Great Grandson of a Benjamite of Jerusalem named Kishi; the father of Saul.

II. And who was Haman?

Haman the Agagite; the surviving Grandson of King Agag that Saul spared. His father is named Hammedatha.

So, somehow: Haman must have heard in History that it was the Generation of Saul that wiped out his race.

Many atimes when you refused to finish a battle; you might be Passing it to another Generation.

… That will not be our Portion in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

KEY NO 2: THE KEY OF FAITHFULNESS.

You want to break Financial Limitations; you need the Key of Faithfulness.

Proverbs 28:20 says: A Faithful Man shall abound with Blessings: but he that maketh haste to be Rich shall not be Innocent.

Luke 16:10 says: He that is Faithful in that which is least is Faithful also in much: and he that is Unjust in the least is Unjust also in much.

Many of us say: Oh God, try me with Money then You will know that I love You; You will see that I will bless You.

And God will begin to try you with #1,000 – He wants to be sure that when you receive #1,000; #100 will not be too much for you to Pay as Tithe.

… He that is Faithful in that which is least, shall be made to oversee much.

Your Financial Ability is what determines your Financial Capacity!

You remembered the Story of the Talent – The Bible said that the Master gave one of his Servants five (5) Talents, he gave one two (2) and gave that Man one (1) Talent.

And the Man went to hide it.

But there is something the Scriptures said – It says: He gave them according to their “Several Abilities”.

Meaning what?

Your Financial Ability is what determines your Financial Capacity!

God has no Problem of releasing Wealth – He is not just a Waster of Resources. He wants to be sure that: What you are asking for, you can manage it; what you are asking God to give you, you can handle it.

Because if you can’t, God is not willing to waste Kingdom Resources.

What you are Trusting God to receive at the end of today; are you Prepared for it?

You are asking God to give you Twenty Million Naira (#20,000,000); and you don’t have a Bank Account?

If He releases the Money, where do you want to keep it?

Preparation is the Mother of Manifestation – This you need to understand!

You need to start Preparing for the Next Level that you are Praying for – Prepare for it!

You want God to increase you Financially; then you need to enlarge your Heart so that your Heart can accommodate that which is Coming.

If you have a Problem of Paying Tithe and yet you are Trusting God for Billions – The little God has given you, you are not Faithful!

Listen to this: Faithfulness thrives on three (3) things:

I. The Fear of God.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 says: Now, let us hear the Conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty of Man.

Lack of the Fear of God has caused some People to eat what they are not supposed to eat.

When you eat your Tithe, it is as Good as eating Sand Paper which will not digest.

… As Believer, we were trained to know this.

Right from Childhood, it has been Part of us – Check out your Grandparents in the Village; with the little, little things they are receiving; they don’t joke with their Tithes.

These are Men and Women of Wisdom – Even in their Old Age, they know their Right from their Wrong.

If Grey hair cannot teach you Wisdom; I believe that it is not Internet that will teach you Wisdom!

II. Faithfulness thrives on the Sense of Contentment.

You need to know that what you have now is enough for now – Don’t kill yourself, don’t copy anybody, don’t try to be like A or B.

… What you have now is enough for now.

If you need God to increase what you have, then you need to enlarge your Heart, enlarge your Capacity!

It has always been the Problem of Handling Capacity, not the Problem of God releasing His Blessings!

… What you have is enough for now!

Trade with what you have, invest in what you have – That what you have, make use of it!

Everyone that God blesses, who are at the Point of collapsing Financially; God always ask them: What do you have in your hands. No matter how little it is.

Because when the Blessings is coming, it will only Increase that which you have in your hands!

What you have now is enough for now but you can get something better.

III. Faithfulness thrives on the Sense of Appreciation.

You must always learn how to appreciate People especially Good Things done for you.

You must learn how to say Thank You for every little, little show of Help that is rendered to you – Don’t be Ungrateful!

Even Jesus Christ Himself desires appreciation.

Remember that when ten (10) Lepers were Cleansed – He says: Were they not ten (10) Lepers that were Cleansed? How come it is only one (1) that came back to say Thank You?

He said that only this Samaritan came back – What happened to the rest? Where are the nine (9)? Probably, they were Jews, they were Brothers to Jesus Christ and they felt that what is the Point in Thanking Him? He is only Fulfilling His Obligations.

Why should we always say: Thank You to Daddy GO? Afterall, he is our General Overseer; he is our daddy, he is fulfilling his responsibilities.

I have come to realised some facts – If you have a home and in the same home; your daughter and Probably an Househelp – Imagine the mother of the house goes to the Market to buy undies and you came back home and gave it to them including the Househelp.

If what you gave to the Househelp is either Bigger Size or Unpleasant Colour; she will never complain – She can only say: Mummy, Thank You because she believed in the first Place she doesn’t deserve it as it is a gesture of Love.

But your daughter can tell you: Mummy, I have told you to stop buying things for me. You give me Money to go and buy myself because she believes that it’s your Right, it is your Responsibility.

But even if it is your Right; it is your Responsibility – Learn to be Appreciative!

If you are married: Appreciate your Spouse, appreciate your children if they do something Good, appreciate your Pastors when they Preach Good Sermon – Some Sermons are not common on the Pulpit.

Sometimes, I watch some People Preaching on the Television and they are Practically saying Nothing and People are clapping and they are shouting.

KEY NO 3: KEY OF DILIGENCE

Diligence as in “Working Hard” not as in “Hard Work”.

Because Prosperity and Final Breakthrough is not a thing of “Hard Work”.

Because if it is, those that dig well, they will be the richest but it is a thing of “Working Hard”.

The Bible says: Seeth thou a Man diligent in Business, he shall Stand before Kings and not mere Men.

You need to be diligent, you need to work with your whole heart.

Who is your Example?

I. God the Father is a Diligent God.

Genesis 2:8 – The Bible says: And the Lord Planted a Garden at the Eastward of Eden.

… God did not wish for a Garden. God did what? – He Planred.

God showed us how to be a Farmer.

God Planted a Garden, He took the Exercise, He did it Himself, He laid the Foundation.

… He is a Diligent God!

II. What about God The Son?

John 9:4; the Bible says: I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no Man can work.

Jesus also said: My Father worketh, hitherto I work.

So, God The Son is a Diligent God.

How do you know a Man with Genuine Anointing?

You can’t carry Anointing and you won’t be restless; you can’t carry Genuine Anointing and stay in one Place.

Acts 10:38 says: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with Power: who went about doing Good, and Healing all that were Oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.

You need to be diligent.

III. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that many of us claimed their Blessings today; this same God is a Diligent God!

When God called Abraham; God didn’t tell him to rear Cattles.

But when you checked Genesis Chapter 12; the moment the Blessings came upon Abraham, it was via Cattle Rearing – Abraham became an Herdsmen.

The Bible says that God increased him in Cattles until he became Great!

What about Isaac?

In Genesis Chapter 26; the Bible says that Isaac sowed in the Land even though there were death in the Land; it wasn’t a Palatable Time and Period but yet Isaac sowed and the Bible says that in the same Year reaped an Hundredfold until he became the envy of the Philistines.

In Genesis 26:30 – And the Man moved Forward.

In that Scripture, you will find the first “Xenophobic Attack” happened in the Bible – Abimelech says: Go from us because you are much Mightier than us.

There is a kind of Blessing that is coming upon someone in this Auditorium or reading now on the Label of DMC – After this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; anywhere you find yourself, you will become the envy of your Generation – Amen.

Jacob was a Specialised Farmer – The first Farmer to use Tractor and Engines to Plough.

So, if the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is your God; then you must be Diligent!

Laziness is a Career of Poverty – Do not enrol for such courses.

Do you know what is it to be Poor?

P – Pass
O – Over
O – Opportunities
R – Regularly

When you “Pass Over Opportunities Regularly”; the Bible says the Glory of the Youth is their Strength – When you have the time, seek Him while you still have the Opportunity, while you still have the Chance to do it.

KEY NO 4: THE KEY OF INVESTMENT

Ecclesiastes 11:1 talks about Investment.

The Bible says: Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

Another Translation says: Invest your Money in Foreign Trade; after a while Profit will flow back to you.

A lot of People are doing Investments.

And bless the Lord for Matthew Ashimolowo on Day 4 Afternoon Session – He told us a lot of things about Investment.

But Permit me to add in this Service, Seven (7) Deadly Investment Errors:

I. Don’t be Greedy – Be satisfied with Reasonable Returns on Investment.

II. Don’t be deceived by Tricksters who will lied to give you the Price you won in a Contest you did not Participate.

III. Take time to investigate Investment Opportunities – Don’t be trapped by hasty Decisions on Investment.

IV. Insufficient Diversification of Investment Portfolios can be dangerous.

Spread out your Investment and do not Put all your eggs in one Basket.

V. Never take an Investment Decision without “Appropriate Advice” from a “Professional Adviser”.

Poverty and Shame comes to him that lives without Instructions – That is what the Book of Proverbs said.

DMC NOTES: Proverbs 13:18 says: Poverty and Shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

We have People in the “Investment World”; seek Advise, seek Counsel.

VI. You must differentiate between: “Upward Investment” and “Downward Investment”.

Because “Downward Investment” is an Investment in which you consume on whatever you spend Money upon.

For instance: You buy shoes, suits – They are all “Downward Investments”.

Whereas “Upward Investment” is the type of Investment that brings Money into your Pocket.

This is what the Man called Robert Kiyosaki called Liability and Asset respectively!

VII. Never incurred debt for Non Productive Purposes.

Expenses such as Burial Expenses like Clothes, food, Exclusive Drinks or Killing seven (7) cows for the naming of your forth (4th) Child.

KEY NO 5: THE KEY OF TITHING

Malachi 3: 8-12 – The Bible says: You have robbed Him if you refuse to Pay your Tithe.

Everyone must Pay Tithe – It is in the Bible!

I. Abraham started it – Galatians 3:29.

II. Jacob continued same thing – Genesis 28:22.

III. Moses confirmed the issue of Tithe – Leviticus 27:30.

IV. God Promises a Blessing for it – In Malachi 3: 7-11; there is a Promise if you Pay your Tithe.

V. Jesus Christ recommended it – Jesus Christ Himself in the New Testament in Matthew 23:23.

VI. And Jesus Christ Himself received Tithe in Hebrews 7: 7-10.

Paying Tithe is not what you debate – It is a Command!

KEY NO 6: KEY OF SACRIFICE

Beloved Brethren, Sacrifice is not defined by its Volume but by the Value.

Sacrifice is not what you choose to Give but it is what He wants from you.

Sacrifice is not to be done where you want but where He Chooses.

Sacrifice may not necessarily be a “Cheerful Seed” – I know that God loveth a Cheerful Giver but this is Sacrifice.

… The Bible says: Those that sow in tears, they shall reap in Joy!

We have Opportunity here again, we should not miss it.

Do not forget Key No 1 – Which is Obedience!

That is the bedrock of which every other Keys mounted.

ALTAR CALL

You know that you hear or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not been obeying all of God’s Commandments; I want you to rise up.

There is Mercy in the House today and we can equally join together and ask God for Mercy.

There are things God has been saying to you and you have not been doing it.

Please, run to the Altar quickly.

Come and say: Lord, I am sorry. Give me another opportunity, another Chance to obey you. I will be Willing to obey you from now on.

I wish to obey you in Fullness, in Total Beginning from today.

As you have come; begin to cry to God, repent of all disobedience.

Go ahead and begin to Pray!

If you are not yet saved, ask God to save your Life.

If there is anything that you need to be sure of; you need to be sure of your Salvation.

Say: Lord, Help me and I now know the reason why I am on a spot.

Thank You Father.

In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Eternity in Heaven; I want to Thank You – Thank You for saving these lives.

Lord, I Pray my Father that You will forgive all manners of disobedience and You will give us another opportunity, you will give us another Chance in the Name of Jesus.

Give us another Grace so that we can Exceed Expectations.

Our daddy in the Lord, our Coach has told us on Day 4 during the Session with The Father, that we needed to do more.

And my Lord and my Father, we have been Praying that the Lord should give us Grace for everyone hearing the Sound of my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC at this time; Lord I Pray my Father that You will empower us to do far Beyond Expectations.

Many are waiting for us to fail but we know that with You on our side; we will not fail: You will back us up, You will Support us, You will Help us in the Name of Jesus.

We surrender our lives to You; Help us, give us a New Beginning.

In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Glory be to God – Hallelujah!

SONG

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jevohah the Man of War
His Mercy endureth forever and ever
Oh Praise His Holy Name

… Repeat!

Now, the rest of us; shall we rise to our feet – We will Pray just one Prayer Point.

Raise your Right Hands and say: My Father; every Financial Captivity, every Financial Bondage; let them be broken off in the Name of Jesus.

Go ahead to Pray Brethren!

Thank You Precious Father.

In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.

RCCG ANNUAL YOUNG ADULTS AND YOUTH CONVENTION 2021

THEME: EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

MINISTERING DAY 3 (MORNING): APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN NIMMAK – FOUNDER AND SENIOR PASTOR OF ETERNITY NETWORK INTERNATIONAL, KADUNA.

TOPIC: CHOOSE LIFE

DATE: 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 30:19

Hallelujah! Good morning everybody. It is a great Joy to be here again.

I like us to Please honour our Intercontinental Youth Pastor. The Lord bless you Sir! It is such an honour again to be here – Amen.

I like you to find a neighbour and Passionately Pray in the next one (1) minute: Father, give us Visitations. I am agreeing with my neighbour and we declare that this Morning Session will indeed be a lifetime Encounter.

OPENING PRAYER

Our Father, again we Pray that you visit us this morning. We have come with our hearts hungry. And with our hearts desperate to receive. Let there be the hearing of Faith and even the working of Miracles.

And I Pray Oh God, that everyone under the sound of my voice and all those reading on the label of DMC, will be Mightily impacted this morning. That at the end of this Session indeed we will say that we have received a Visitation.

May the Lord Bless you! For in Jesus’ Mighty Name I Pray – Amen.

Celebrate Jesus! And Please you may be seated – HALLELUJAH

On Day 2, we began to talk about: “THE POWER OF THE WORD” – According to Joshua 1:8. And its ability to set a Man on course for a Great and enviable Destiny.

We did established on Day 2 how that it is in our Destiny in Christ to be Great; to move from one dimension of Glory even to another.

That in Christ, there are no: ‘Low Callings’. Everyone is called into not only a “Holy Calling”, but a “Higher Calling” – A Calling of Nobility, a Calling of Greatness.

But also, we established that Greatness does not just happen by default; that Principally, the Word of God is God’s Instrument for the making of the Great in this Kingdom.

Great Men and Women, whether in Ministry, in Business, in Politics and Governance. In Career, in Academics, etc – That everyone who is made it in this Kingdom is made by the Word.

Jesus, Who is the Word says: “Come, follow Me and I will MAKE you…” So when you follow the Word, the Word MAKES you – Hallelujah!

We also established on Day 2 (by way of recap) that essentially, when we open up Scriptures to learn God’s Word, we are interacting with Three (3) Basic Realities.

And that every time you open up your Bible, you are searching for Three (3) Things Principally:

1. PROMISES: A representation of God’s Boundary and His Commitment to you.
2. PRINCIPLES: The modus operandi of the Kingdom. God’s System of Operation. Learn the Principles of the Kingdom, you are able to reproduce God’s dimension of results again and again.
3. PROPHECIES: Prophecies to leave us in Hope. It reveals to us the future of our Destinies, the future of the Church, the future of the world that we live in; to the end that you find confidence. And that we live without fear – Hallelujah!

This morning I like us to take it from there, by reading our Opening Scripture for this Morning Session – Deuteronomy 30:19.

By the way of giving this Message a Topic, I will want to give it the Topic – CHOOSE LIFE.

Deuteronomy 30:19, here is what it says:

I call Heaven and Earth to record this day against you, that I have Set before you Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing: therefore Choose Life, that both thou and thy Seed may live:

… The Things that we see from this Scriptures are:

1. THE IMPLICATION OF YOUR DECISIONS AND YOUR CHOICES MOVE FAST – And they go beyond you.

The Bible here tells us that you are not the only one who is affected by Choices and your Decisions – That your Choices and your Decisions: Good or Bad, it affects you and also affects your Seed.

Your Seed (here) does not just mean your Biological Children alone; your Seed also refers to those who look up to you or draw Inspiration from you.

That your Choices and your Decisions in Life does not just have an impact or an effect on you alone; but it also transcends to your Seed and even Generations after you.

I. There are many People who seek to be marvelously used by God.

II. There are many People who seek to have enviable Destinies.

III. There are many People who seek to become Influences and Influencers as far as the context of a Generation is concerned.

… But then, many have ignored this Principle that I want to teach you sadly, to their detriment.

What I am about to teach you is the reason why there are Millionaires today and there are Poor People. It is the reason why there are Intelligent People today and those who are supposedly Nonentities. It is the reason why People have risen from nothing to Positions of Authority.

And it is also the reason why People have dropped from Positions of Notoriety to Nothingness. Many are marvelously Anointed by God and many remain small and beggarly in Life.

I am teaching you this with Passion from my heart, as a Contribution to your Growth and your Excelling in Life and I am Praying and hoping that these words will not fall on deaf ears; that they will come up on your heart that are Marriageable, hearts that are ready to rise, ready to grow, to thrive and to excel even Transgenerational – Amen.

Write this down: “Your Decisions, more than your Conditions, decide the Quality of your Life.”

More than the condition of a man, the Principal determinant of the kind of, and the quality of Destiny that you and I will be featuring in is our DECISIONS – “Indecision is a decision to fail”.

Write this down Please: Decisions decide Destiny. – Decisions, not Wishes, not Intentions. Decisions, decide Destiny!

A man’s Destiny – the quality of it is not decided by his Wish, it is not decided by his Intentions, it is not even decided by the Wishes others have for him.

Your Destiny is Primarily and Principally decided by the Decisions that you make.

I learned this many Years ago when I read a book by Dr Myles Munroe called: “DISCOVERING YOUR POTENTIALS”.

The book has a Profound impact upon my Life. And it was from that book – alongside many other Teachings, I found out that there is a Responsibility Dimension to an Enviable Destiny.

That more than a Prophetic Dimension, more than the Speaking of God over the Life and the Destiny of an Individual; there is a Responsibility Dimension and component.

That means if you must Excel in Life as much as God desires for you to excel; it does not just take God alone (as Powerful as He is); it will take your Partnership through the ability to make Quality Choices and Decisions.

Even at the extent of your External Destiny, God leaves you to Decide! At the detriment of Eternal Destiny, the God of Heaven will not force Salvation on you, the God of Heaven will not forces Success on you.

There are many People today going to Hell, even though the Price for sin; even though the Price for our Victory; even though the Price for Reconciliation with God, has been “FULLY PAID” – It is their Decisions!

There are many People who are Living Poor and beggarly lives, even in the wealthiest of Nations; Primarily because of their Decisions.

When I found out the Place and the Role Decisions Play in actualizing Destiny, I made up my mind that I will intentionally make “Quality Decisions”, that will advance my Life.

Write this down please: “Destiny is measured in TIME”.

That means, the Unit of Destiny is Time!

Whatever you give your time to, you are giving a Portion of your Life and a Portion of your Destiny to anything at all: Good or Bad.

Whatever you invest your time in, you are investing a Portion of your Life and your Destiny.

Our father-in-the-Lord today has become a Global Phenomenon and a Voice to reckon with and a Personality to be Studied by Individuals, by Institutions, Government of Nations – Not just because God Called him; not just because God Anointed him but because he made a Decision with his Life: That this was a cause of Destiny he was going to Pursue it. And he obtained Grace from God; and even in old-age he continues to Pursue Diligently.

All of the People you see today that you admire; whether in Business, whether in Ministry, whether in Politics, Weather in Academia; they are individuals who, at one Point or the other decided that they were going to make a “Quality Decision” to advance their Life.

There is a very interesting Scripture in the Bible (I will just quote it for the sake of time) every time I studied the Scripture;

That Scripture for me, is the most Graphics Representation of the Power of Decision. It is the Story that Jesus Himself gave: A Parable of one we call THE PRODIGAL SON in Luke Chapter 15.

By way of Summary: The Bible starts that Story by letting us know that a Man had two (2) sons. And it let us know that he was a responsible Man who took Good care of his children.

And then one day, the Youngest son (The Bible says) made up his Mind that he did not want to be under the influence of his father again – A Decision!

He made that Decision and he said: No! Father, I am tired of your influence. Give me that which is due me as your son – And the father respected his Decision.

The Bible says when he was given his own Portion of his Inheritance, he departed. And the next thing we hear about that Man is a Pictorial of Tragedies. The Bible says he spent his money on a “Riotous Life” with friends; and that the money began to deplete.

For every Decision he took out of the influence of his father, it began to lead him and Plunge him further and further to a Life of shame, embarrassment and degradation. Until it got to a Point where he was completely bankrupt.

And then the Bible tells us, he got to a Point where he was feeding with swine.

Look at the implication of this Decisions – This was a Man who was Excellent under the Authority of his father. But he made just one Decision: “Father I am tired of your influence, I want to manage my Life.”

A few Years down the line, he has become an object of Tragedy, a caution and a warning to many – Feeding with swine, whereas he had been dining with Royalty.

But then the Bible also shows us the Power of Decisions to reverse a Man’s Life.

One day (the Bible says) this Man got tired and he said to himself – Infact, the Bible says: He came to himself.Guess what he said? – “How many Hired Servants does my father have and I am here feeding with swine.”

And he made a Decision again – So it takes a Decision to change a Decision!

Listen carefully: He made one Decision and that Decision took him down but he made one other Decision – What was the Decision?: I will Arise and I will go to my father.

Now notice the Miracle that happened: He never met the father at home and the father never met him at the Place of Wrong Decision – Both of them met at the Place of ACTION. Somewhere in the middle – The father was already leaving to look for him!

Can I be honest with you everyone of you? – What you are looking for is also looking for you! The Great Destiny you are looking for is also looking for you.

But there is a Version of you that Destiny is looking for, that you have not yet become!

The father was not looking for the rebel – The father was looking for the “Transformed Gentleman”.

Your Destiny is not looking for the Careless, Unserious, lackadaisical Individual – It is looking for a “Determined Gentleman”, a “Determined Lady”.

Everything you are looking for is looking for you – The Prosperity you are looking for is also looking for you; the Greatness you are looking for is also looking for you; the Mantle you are looking for is also looking for you.

But there are Conditions: Midwiving your Present Condition and your future Destiny is a Decision.

You can make a Decision that will reverse your Destiny by many years. And you can take one Decision that will fast-track your Destiny by many decades – Decisions are Powerful!

I hope you know that in every Territory, there is a Group of Parliamentarians that we call Honorable Members of the House, Senate Members? And all that happens in the Parliament of every Nation is Decisions. That is all they do – Decisions! Decisions that culminates to the well-being of the Citizens.

When a Territory make Decisions that are motivated by Self-centeredness, that continues to take the Territory backwards.

In any case, people move forward or backward through Decisions.

Your Decision is the Vehicle that moves you from where you are to the Place of Destiny. Your decision is also the Vehicle that takes you from where you are back to your Yesterday.

Listen very carefully: You do not have the Power to choose Consequences – No Man has the Power to choose Consequences. Consequences are outcome of a Decision – The Resultant Effect of a Decision. You cannot choose Consequences – whether Good or Bad

What you can do is that, you can make Choices and Decisions – It is the Decisions that choose your Consequences.

For instance, when you say: “I want to be rich!” You are right, but Technically speaking, you are not exactly right. You don’t just say: ‘I want to be rich’ alone; you make a Decision that makes for such a Destiny and you Naturally revolve into that State in Life.

I want to be a ‘Visionary and a Responsible Leader’ – As Good as that is, if it just stops by you speaking and staying there, it may never amount to that which you desire. It will take Decisions, as the Vehicle that moves you.

So Men do not choose Consequences; you make Decisions and the Decisions choose the Consequences that come to you.

I want to give you Six (6) Decisions; they are Major Decisions that all Champions (without exemptions) have made and continue to make in their lives and Destinies.

Whether you want to be a great Man of God, a great Sportsman, a great Leader a great Businessman and woman; you want to follow the steps of our Fathers or any Visionary Leader world over (that you seem to have admired);

Can I tell you this? These Six (6) Decisions, if understood, if mastered, and if you make these decisions consistently; I give you a guarantee based on the Integrity of the Scriptures and the fundamentability of Laws of Life; you will not fail.

I set before you Life and Death; I said before you Blessing and Curses. I cannot force you on what to choose but I can advise you, if you wants to live – You live by choosing Life.

I want you to lay your hands on your head and Pray from the depths of your heart – Let my Spirit man be opened to understand this Truth. As you are laying your hands on your head, you are not only laying your hand on yourself; you are laying your hand on ALL the Destinies connected to you. You are laying your hand on your children and your children’s children. You are laying your hands on the Congregation the Lord will give you to Pastor in the nearest future. You are laying your hands or ALL the People who will be Part of your Company and your Conglomerate.

DECISION NO. 1: The first decision that I recommend for you to make if you want to surpass Ordinary Standards; if you want to excel, if you want to become a voice in your Generation, if you want to serve the Purposes of God effectively is: THE DECISION TO MAKE EXCEPTIONAL SPIRITUAL PROGRESS.

In Jeremiah 29:13, the Bible here say: And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

There is a way a Man can commit himself and make a Decision that as far as my Spiritual Life is concerned, my Fire will never go down. As far as my Prayer Life is concerned, as far as my Word Study Life is concerned, as far as my Passion for God is concerned – The older I become, the more on FIRE I become. It is a choice!

There are many People today who have chosen not to be serious with God. God respects their Choice. But you also will not get the Destiny of one who is on Fire for God!

Can I tell you the Truth? Righteousness and Justice are the Foundations of His Throne. You cannot give God give (5) Minutes of your Destiny and expect the Mantle of the one who gave God everything. God is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

In Matthew 22:37, Jesus Himself was Teaching and He began to encourage us based on that which was written in the Law: To Love the Lord your God with all your Heart, with all your Soul, with all your Mind.

When you give God All and make a Decision to seek Him with Quality Spiritual Progress; I assure you, you have made a Noble Decision and you have began to Sign in for a Destiny of Greatness – Amen.

Hear me: There are all forms of distractions in our world today.

Respectfully speaking, the abuse of Social Media, all kinds of mundane Relationships that may not be Pointing us towards Destiny and all sorts of things that distract and destroy People.

Listen: Do you know what that means? – It means you must obtain Grace and be disciplined to wake up and Pray when it is time to Pray. When your body tells you ‘I am sleeping’ just hear the Generation that you are sent to begging you and saying:

“Wake up for our sake, the Healing Anointing that must come to you in the Place of Prayer, don’t let sleep kill us. The children that I am supposed to receive is tied to your Spiritual seriousness, don’t let me die barren.”

… When you hear the Voice of those who are Calling on you, it gives you the energy to wake up!

Hear me: Everytime you feel lazy to stop to Study Scripture, just remember that there is a Multitude of People saying: ‘Please if you do not feed us, the witches and wizards, and the curses in our background will destroy us. And God we have handed over our Destinies to your life; do not fail us!”

Can I tell you this? If you do not live with a sense of Destiny, you will not have the Passion to Pursue your Spiritual Life.

You don’t Pray as a matter of convenience; you don’t fast as a matter of convenience. Many of us, the enemies to your Destiny is slumber! You can sleep for hours.

Young Man, know you will not go far! God Is not a Herbalist, you will not go far. Don’t just keep admiring Mantles and Anointing – Behind Mantles and Anointing, let me tell you the Truth there is blood dripping on those Altars! – Testimonies of Prayers, Testimonies of Fire, Testimonies of Fasting, Testimonies not staying with the Word.

The Decision to be serious with God is not for Men of God; the Decision to be serious with God is for Saviours.

Provided you know that there is a Destiny connected to you; it will jerk you up to say: Lord, reveal Yourself. That Mantle and that Aunction that must land my Life for the sake of my Generation, I will Pay whatever Price it will take.

For some of you, the Holy Ghost in speaking to you and saying: This is what I kept showing you in dreams; this is what I have been trying to tell you – That you need to step up your Spiritual Life; because where I am sending you, the Pace of your Spiritual Growth cannot build the Stamina to Stand before Pharaoh!

Can I tell you the truth? What some of you call Delay is not delay. It is that God has Caged you and seen that you are not Strong enough to face what He is sending you to face.

So, He will withdraw your Progress to help you, so that you do not collapse before Pharaoh because you did not build capacity.

We live in a Generation that is obsessed with admiring Anointed People and just believing that you just bring five thousand (5,000) People, just lay hands and transfer everything.

Let me be honest with you my dear People: There is a track record in the Spirit that you cannot buy with money. It is a track record you have to Pay with God.

You want to tell the sick, be healed and they are healed? You want your Generation to hear you? It is more than the Ability to speak English – There must be a hunger!

Hear me: There are many of you, you are the first Person to rise in your family to this Level. Now you want to go down and allow the devil destroy your family. God is counting on you! And saying: ‘You are the one your mother was Praying for you for twenty (20) Years before you arrived.

When it is time to Pray, you lock at yourself – Praying in the Holy Ghost. Everyday you are doing it, you are signing that Spiritual Register, the realm of the Spirit is seeing you. Demons are seeing you, Principalities and Powers are seeing you. They are bearing Witness to the fact that you are Preparing for Destiny.

In one (1) minute, (while you are Standing); I like you to Pray: LORD, every laziness, every laxity, in the Name of Jesus, let me go!

I stretch my hands in the Name of Jesus; that Light that must rest upon your Destiny, let it come your Destiny right now – The Lord is bringing you into a New Season – Amen.

DECISION NO. 2: The Second Decision that you must make is; THE DECISION TO CONTEND for SUPERIOR BELIEF SYSTEM.

You will never rise above and beyond your Mindset; you will never rise above and beyond your Belief System. Your Belief System represent your Paradigm. your belief system represents your Viewpoint – Jeremiah 1:10, Proverbs 23:7; Proverbs 4:23;

He didn’t say: “For as a Man thinketh in his heart so he WILL become;” – You ALREADY ARE!

The Bible equates your Destiny to the quality of your thoughts.

We all come from different backgrounds: Sociologically speaking, we all come from different backgrounds; Spiritually speaking, we all come from different backgrounds; Economically Speaking, we all come from different backgrounds.

And on this contexts, they have a way of conditioning our Mind!

Was it not Nathaniel that said about Jesus: “Can anything Good come out from Nazareth?”

You may come from a background when no one has risen – You have never seen favour in display; you have never seen Speed.

And chances are that, when God wants to favour you and God wants to bring Speed, there is no Provision in your Mindset to allow that happens – A Man can limit God!

Psalms 78:41, I found that Scripture and it has blessed me through the Years. They limited the Holy One by saying – Can God make a Way in the Wilderness?

As Powerful as God is, as Mighty as God is; the Mindset of an individual can limit His Performance in the Life of that Person.

I told you that everything you are looking for is also looking for you; but not this Version of you. There is a Version of you your future is looking for. You have to revolve into that Version. You have to grow through the Renewal and Transformation.

Mentality can determine the Quality of Destiny!

DECISION NO. 3: The Third Quality Decision that you must make is: THE DECISION TO DISCOVER AND FULFILL YOUR GOD’S GIVEN ASSIGNMENT.

In other words, the Decision to Live a PURPOSE-DRIVEN Life.

John 4:34 – Jesus saith unto them: My meat is to do the Will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.

That means, my satisfaction, my fulfillment, is to DO and FINISH the work.

Hebrews 10:7, Paul was speaking and he made a Quotation: It has been written concerning everyone of us but whether you fulfill what was written or not; it is a Subject for another day!

God has given us a Baton. If we run our Destinies well, we will be able to hand the Baton to Upcoming Generations.

Is that true? – YES!

If we fail it will affect others. Our efficiency will cause others to fulfill Destiny. If we refuse to discover our Place in Destiny, and run with the Baton, we are wasting the Destiny of Others because we have refused to run!

Every time you refused to find your Place in life, someone else – It is a relay, you are not the only one running!

I. If God raised you to be a Man of God, all the Pastors that were supposed to come up after you and under you because of your inability to answer the Call, you are Punishing another Man’s Destiny.

II. If God has raised you to be a Kingdom Financier, He raised you to be a Financier – so that that Churches will now be built. Because of your refusal to obey your Assignment, that Church is never built. And the Souls that should be saved in that Church never come to Jesus.

… There are Implications when you do not fulfill Destiny.

The Generation of our Fathers and Grandfathers in Faith handed over the Baton to us. There is a Generation running with it. But you have refused to receive the Baton (this is what our Generation is doing).

Collect it! Take the Mantle of Healing, the Mantle of Leadership – and we are saying NO. We are busy typing on Phones, Internet, Making Calls and all kinds of things.

Collect it! Time is going, Destinies are suffering and you are refusing. Our fathers are Passing this Baton and you are saying: Young People, a time will come you will be the ones on the stage – Prepare, collect this Mantle. Collect this Baton in Business, in Ministry But you are refusing.

But I challenge you to run back and collect the Mantle. Run with speed and come and Pick it!

Lift your voice and declare: I MUST FULFILL DESTINY!

DECISION NO. 4: The Fourth (4th) Decision (according to 3 John 1: 2) is – THE DECISION TO BE HEALTHY.

This may look like a very simple Decision but it is a very serious Decision.

The Decision to be HEALTHY: Your Physical well-being is important for the fulfillment of your Destiny.

Because no Spirit is a Legal occupant in the Earth without a Body. – You need a Healthy Body!

It is because they spend their lives deteriorating their health; carelessness over their bodies; eating anything, drinking anything – Especially those who work in Miracles, Signs and Wonders. Usually, they ignore their Health just because the Anointing flows through them to Others. You must be careful – You have a responsibility under God to work in Health.

It is the reason why vices like smoking and drinking liquor and all other kind of things are dangerous. Because, it is a way of mismanaging your Health – “A body has Thou prepared for me”.

If you do not have a Body, even if you have a Vision- it will not come to Pass.

Did you hear what I said? Your Vision needs a Body to find expression.

That means from today, you must make a Decision that: “I am going to be Healthy”. Part of the ways that you choose Life is to choose to be Healthy.

You won’t believe it, I am not a Medical Doctor, but I can tell you this: Your Health starts from the discipline to take Clean Water. Clean water alone can save you many Years of degrading your Health.

The moment God begins to bless you – You get a job or money begins to come; don’t just invest in clothes. Invest in your Health.

If you buy a nice Designer Wear in a Body that is dying; some People will come and carry it away because you will be dead!

Hear me: One time I went to Minister in this Nation and one of the fathers of Faith drew me into his office and he made a Statement that I will never forget.

It was a Powerful Conference and he drew me into his office and he said: My son, let me teach you something, Pay attention to your Health. He said, Africans kill their Prophets – And it made such an impact in my Life!

Now, it is Good to stretch yourself – Don’t be lazy. But you must know when you stretch yourself beyond limits.

There are many People today, it is not demons that are destroying their Health. It is just because they did not Pay attention.

Having encouraged you to be hard working, let me be sincere with you: When you are tired REST; when you are hungry EAT – Learn this especially for Young People.

Because we are surrounded by so many People who want to show that you can stretch in the Spirit. We derive a lot of Pride from showing you have Stamina in the Spirit.

There are People today who have Ulcer; and it is because they did not know how to Fast with wisdom. There are People today who are destroying themselves.

There are People today who have gone to Pray and stressed themselves beyond Proportion and it affected their brain. They have bipolar. Right now they are in the hospital.

There is a balance to everything! – The Bible says: Do everything with Moderation. Pay attention to your Health. Do not feel embarrassed and don’t feel less of a Christian if you are investing in your Health.

When Jesus was hungry, he ATE. When Jesus was tired he SLEPT – Please, eat and rest. In this Kingdom, we live by BREAD and WORDS. Not Words ALONE.

Are you learning? YES!

DECISION NO. 5: The Fifth (5th) Quality Decision we must make, in order to emerge as a Champions and Influencers is: THE DECISION TO BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.

Can I be honest with you? Many People shy away from the reality of this, and I know why.

Usually, when it has to do with the issue of Finance there are two (2) Groups in the Body of Christ:

I. There are those who ignore it and say it is not important – Don’t worry; you just serve God, He will sort your Life.

II. And then there are those who almost, it is like an extension of Lust and Carnality. And everything is money, money, money, from start to finish!

Both are wrong!

But I can tell you based on Authority of Scriptures; the Decision to be Financially Independent is a Noble Decision and it is also a Spiritual Decision.

Proverbs 22:7 – May you never forget this Scripture for the rest of your life in Jesus Name – Amen.

Why do you need to Contend for Financial Independence?

Here is one of the reasons – The Bible says so: “The Rich ruleth over the Poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”

Did you get that? – The Rich Man will rule over the Poor! Even if he is a Poor Prayer Warrior, even If he is a Poor Fasting Giant. For as long as you are Poor, you would never be able to taste the corridors of Power and Influence.

It takes Economic Empowerment to lift the Name JESUS. The Name Jesus is very HEAVY, it takes Resources to lift it Up

Do not join the ignorants, where People find comfort in believing that everything will be alright, if you are not Financially Empowered? What we challenge in the Body of Christ Is Lust and Carnality towards Material things and not the availability of the Resources.

By the time money becomes a ‘god’ to you; by the time you become obsessed with money; even to the detriment of your Relationship with Jesus – Now there is a problem!

Materialism is not having Materials. Materialism is the influence of Materials on your Relationship with JESUS.

And you don’t need to have money to be Materialistic! – There are many Poor People who are Materialistic. You don’t just have the money to manifest it yet.

Please Pay attention to this: There are many People who are called of God today, but they are unable to do much for the Kingdom – This Youth Confidence right now is happening because, there are Financial Resources to drive the Conference.

It is not only because Jesus is here with us (He is here and we are grateful). But what if the Generating Set and the Sound System goes off and you cannot hear? What if the lights are out? This magnificent Auditorium that we all are sitting in, it took resources to make it happen.

As I have toured around this Redemption Camp – Get it, I have seen all kinds of Projects ongoing. It takes Resources.

If you embrace Poverty, you will also embrace Weakness.

Can I tell you this? – Make up your Mind that what my Parents could not give me – They may be sincere People, they did the best with what they knew to do; but in the Name of Jesus, I will be able to give my children what I did not receive – Don’t transfer the same Pain and Hardship to your children.

Make up your Mind that under my Watch, the House of the Lord will never suffer. Because these hands will bring Resources for the lifting of the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Ecclesiastes 9:13-16; the Bible shows us in a very Graphic way, the danger of not contending for Financial Independence:

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed Great unto me: There was a little City, and few men within it; and there came a Great King against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a Poor Wise Man, and he by his Wisdom delivered the City; yet no man remembered that same Poor Man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than Strength: nevertheless the Poor Man’s Wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

… It takes Wisdom and Wealth to be heard. – Are we learning? YES!

Make up your Mind that you are going to work in the reality of the Blessings of the Lord. Not for some Competitive, Carnal, Selfish reasons – No!

Do you know we are not Teaching on Finance here. But many of the People who talk on Finance (with all due respect) largely, many People are not getting it the way it should be taught.

This is why it keeps fueling carnality and lust in People – “You Prosper even as your Soul Prospers.”

When there is anything wrong with your Soul, everything you have gathered or acquired is nonsense.

But let me give you this: There are only Two (2) Assignments of Money in the Life of an Individual;

1. The first Assignment of Financial Resources is as a TOOL FOR TIME REDEMPTION.

… The first Assignment of money in your life is to REDEEM TIME.

The Unit of Destiny is Time! You can use money to buy time.

2. The Second Assignment of money in the Life of a Kingdom Minded Believer is for EFFICIENCY.

So money only has two (2) Assignments in a Believer’s Life – Time Redemption and Efficiency.

If God grants you Resources and you buy a Car, what is that car doing? Redeeming Time! That is it.

If God grants you an opportunity and you move from a Tenant a Landlord; it has only helped to make your Life efficient. Instead of struggling with six (6) children in one room; now you have five (5) bedrooms!

You can even create a Prayer Room. You can create all kinds of things – So it gives you the Confidence to live an Efficient Life.

This is why Believers desire the availability of Financial Resources; For Time Redemption and for Efficiency.

If you are able to Pay the School Fees of your children without thinking about it; and you can send them to any School without the Psychological Stress of raising School fees – One Naira (N1) Per term. It has helped your Life to be efficient and so you can focus on the things of God.

As a Man of God, when God blesses you Financially, He has given you time so you can lock yourself for three (3) days seeking His face and not worry about Bills – Efficiency!

When People are taught Prosperity from a correct Kingdom Perspectives, they become blessed and their hearts are never connected to those things.

Finally, have you been blessed so far? The only Promise you are going to give me is that you will use everything that I am Teaching you here.

That the next time God will grant us the Grace to see; when I look at where you used to be, I will not be able to find you there again – That you will be a thousand times over (Amen).

DECISION NO. 6: The Final Decision is THE DECISION TO BUILD QUALITY DESTINY RELATIONSHIPS.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.

Can I tell you this? The command: “Be Fruitful”; also means be RELATIONAL. Because, the only way to be Fruitful is through Relationships. It takes a husband and his wife to have a child.

One of the Greatest things that you can do with your Life and the times that God has given you is to invest in Building Quality Relationships.

Can I be honest with you? Many People do not have Relationships that were intentionally built. Many People have Circumstantial Relationships – Circumstances just brought certain People into your Life.

There are Three (3) Levels of Relationship:

1. There are GENERAL RELATIONSHIPS – You meet People everyday

And the Bible mandates you love them – Believers Non-believers alike. You meet them everyday.

2. There are SEASONAL RELATIONSHIPS.

For instance: your classmates, your schoolmates. Within the time you are together in that Institution, on that training, taking that course; you are together, and you may be friends.

3. But the third and the Highest Level, they are called DESTINY RELATIONSHIPS or COVENANT RELATIONSHIP.

These are People who believe what you believe. The Foundational Pillars of your convictions are also what they believe. And you have a Covenant of Fellowship that you are going to be there for one another through the thick and thin.

You will not just be there to Stand together; that when they are on the ground, you will come and stand by them and help them and lift them up!

Can I tell you this: Woe betides a Man if everybody around him is a Psychophant – Looking for your money or your Anointing because Men are intrinsically selfish. However, there are still sincere People.

And my Prayer is not just that you will Pray and say: God give me one; be one FIRST. Hallelujah!

When Jesus walked upon the Earth; for as long as he was Celebrity Jesus and there were crowds looking for Him. Some were looking for Him for food, some where eyeing all kinds of things; hoping that one day when He becomes the King of kings and Lord of lords they will be able to sit on His Right and His Left hand – All kinds of Motives!

But when Jesus handed Himself to die, all of them ran away! When Jesus was going to Golgotha, my question: Where was Blind Bartimaeus? Where was the woman with the Issue of Blood? Where was even Lazarus who was raised from the dead? – Everybody ran away!

Can I be honest with you? – You must obtain the Grace and courage at this Level in Life to edit your Relationships.

Don’t treat everybody the same, they are not the same! Categorise your Relationships into: Outer Court, Inner Courtt. And Most Holy Place.

Not everybody should have that kind of access to your Life – Are you learning Wisdom here?

Someone comes into your Life and in five (5) minutes you have told him everything about your Destiny; you have told him everything about your Past, you have told him that your dad had a Problem with your mum. And tomorrow they go around and betray you, backstab you and destroy you.

You need Wisdom! It is not every Visitor that comes to your house that you take to your bedroom – No! There are Visitors who will Stand at the Gate, there are Others who come to the Living Room but there are Others you can literally take them to your bedroom and sit down because you know that even if you are in Prison, they will come and Stand with you and say we will die together.

Can I be sincere with you? – This is one of the Lessons that I have learnt respectfully speaking, in the lives of our fathers of Faith. They may not have many People around their lives, but my Goodness, God has given them “THE GIFT OF MEN”. There are Men who will stay like the Mighty Men of David in the Cave of Adullam (2 Samuel 23).

Let me ask you a Question (as I round up): If you are in trouble today (God forbid) is there anybody in your life that you can call by 2 a.m. and say sincerely there is an issue with my rent now, it is not that I am careless. And the Person says: “Over my dead body! As Long as I am alive, I will not see you go through this?”

Hear me: If there is Nobody like that in your Life, you are sitting on a TIME BOMB.

I want to be honest with you: Even when Saul wanted to kill David and frustrated him, David said: “Is there any Man in the house of Saul that I may show kindness for Jonathan’s sake? – 2 Samuel 9:1.

I have learnt this as a Lesson from the lives of our fathers of Faith:

I. Write a list of the five (5) Most Important Men in your Life. People you know today, who love you and will sacrifice anything for you.

II. Invest in those Relationships! Don’t generalize and treat everybody like the same. No! There are people today, if you call and say I need five hundred thousand Naira (N500,000), they will tell you “well, I will help you.”

How could you put them in the same category with someone who can stab you with a knife even if they give you? – Learn Wisdom!

III. There are People today if you call them and say: “Look, I see that Lust is already growing in me; Pride is already growing in me”; they will say – ‘No! not when I am here. Let’s declear a three (3) days Fast. I will stand with you. I will Pray with you.”

Can I be honest with you? As you are rising in Life and in Leadership, you must start Praying not for a crowd, but for these Men – Lord, from the crowd select these Men, bring them to my Life.

IV. There are Men who will vow and say: Even if you go to be with the Lord today, your children will not beg for bread when they are aliive!

Can I be honest? – There are many of our Parents in Old-age today; they did not spend their days searching for Quality Destiny Relationships and investing in it. And you will see some of them move and they will tell you: “I lived in US for ten (10) Years. I know this one, I know that one. But they are still in a Position today, where none of their children can have a job.

Anything money can buy, RELATIONSHIPS can also buy. Relationships are Currencies! Don’t use money alone to buy things; use Relationship to buy things.

This is one lesson I have learnt in Ministry: as you pray Man of God, Young Woman, I want you to hear the words of the Lord – It is time for you to build Quality Relationships!

This is one of the reasons why God brings a Convergence of a Conference like this; so that you can have Men and Women.

Some of you, your Destiny Helpers are and in this Place. Now, they may not be wearing the kind of shoes and the kind of clothes you like. Be careful when you look down on People. You may be looking down on the next ten (10) Years of your Life.

Learn to honour men. Learn to respect People – Respect those who are above you, respect your contemporaries, respect your subordinates; and you have bought the Future.

I set before you Life and Death. I set before you Blessing and Cursing, I set before you these SIX (6) MASTER DECISIONS, that decides the Destinies of Men. I cannot force you but my advice even this afternoon is: CHOOSE LIFE.

… Rise up on your feet!

Some day you will read this Message again; but you will read it with your Children all around your table; with Millions in your Account, with Mantles upon your head. Alongside the Congregation of a crowd listening to you. You will not read this Message and regree and say: “Why did I not make a Decision?”

One Prayer Point: Father, I obtain Grace from Heaven. You have given me the Keys that can Change my Life; I obtain Grace. Lift your voice and Pray!

CLOSING PRAYER

Some of you are Kingdom Financiers; you represent the Next Generation of Men and Women that God will be trusting with Resources. I don’t know where you are; wherever you are right now, may that Anointing come up on you right now! Receive that Anointing now.

Every embargo of Delay sitting on your Life to say you will not go forward; by the Privilege of the Grace over our father, in the Name of Jesus may the Mantle for Speed come upon your Destiny – JESUS!!!

Delay be broken, Delay in Destiny fulfillment the broken. I released Speed upon your Life, I release Speed upon your Destiny – Hallelujah!

Now hear me: There is a Grace for Prayer, that makes a Man’s Altar to come on Fire. I don’t know who needs this Grace; The Grace for Prayer and Intercession, take that Grace now! The Fire upon your Altar, let it keep burning day and night.

There is a Grace for Favour; hear me – There is a “Real Grace” for Favour that can make Men attend to your Needs.

Blood conditions be Healed in the Name of Jesus. Every genotype here – Sickle Cell Anaemia, we change that genotype right now, in the Name of Jesus.

Anyone called barren; I Stand upon this Altar and I speak over your Life – Nine (9) Months from now, return with your “MIRACLE CHILDREN”.

Every Blood disease, every blood condition, be healed riight now, in Jesus’ Name! Partial or complete deafness, be healed right now, in Jesus’ Name. Partial or complete blindness be healed right now in Jesus’ Name.

Heart Palpitations be healed in Jesus’ Name. Ulcers be healed in Jesus’ Name! The Lord is healing someone of Pile. Be healed right now in Jesus’ Name.

Whether I mentioned your case or not; every ailment in your body let it bow to the Name of Jesus right now – Hallelujah!

… Please lift your hands let me speak over your Destiny:

Every door that has refused to open over your Life and Destiny, right now I Stand upon the Privilege of the Grace of our father-in-the-Lord, and in the Name of Jesus, I speak to that door Ephatha, be open now! Doors of Destiny be open.

Hear me, every embargo of Shame and reproach over anyone’s Life and my family – By the Mystery of the Blood of Jesus, we tear off that veil of Shame from your Life.

Failure at the edge of your Breakthroughs – that you always see it but never handle it; right now in the Name of Jesus, everything your eye sees, may your hands handle it, in Jesus’ Name.

I Pray for those of you who are Students – If you are a Student: In the Name that is Above all names, the Finishers Anointing, the Grace to finish with Honours, I impart that Grace upon you, in Jesus’ Name.

Some of you, because of the circumstances that have always been around your Life, there has been delays around your life – By now you would have gone far but something delayed you.

I don’t know who has been delayed in Life; by Prophecy I Push you to the Next Season of your Life – Hallelujah!

Finally, by the Privilege of God’s Election of Grace and the Honour of Standing on this Altar, let me join my faith with your Intercontinental Youth Pastor and our father-in-the-Lord, to Prophesy over the entire Youth Arm of RCCG:

Everything that is alive grows.

Therefore, I Stand on this Altar and I declare: By this time Next Year (2022); you will be ten (10) times better than you are now regardless of your Region, Province, Zone, Area, and Parish; Be ten (10) times better than you are: Spiritually, Financially, Academically, Material, Emotionally.

Hear me: And out of you all, may it Please the Lord to raise the Next Generation of Leaders of this Nation.

AMEN! AMEN!! AND AMEN!!!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!.
