OPENING PRAYER

Our Father, we worshipped You.

That Great God, The Awesome God, The Powerful God, The Merciful God, The Gracious God, The Omnipotent God, The Omniscience God – You are Mightier than the mightiest, You are Greater than the greatest; Our Master, our God, our Succour, our Provider, our Salvation, our Sanctification, The Power that is inside of us; we Love You, we Praised You, we Honour You, we Celebrate You.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You; for The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); Thank You for The Americas; Thank You for our father and mother in the Lord; Thank You for the Program this afternoon (Day 2); Thank You for those who has Graduated, for those You have Ordained – We want to say Thank You.

Thank You Father for this Convention (Americas Convention 2021) – The 25th Convention of the American Continent. You deserved all the Glory, You deserved all the Honour, You deserved all the Adoration.

We know that we know that a Man can receive Nothing except God give it to him or her – Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Father Lord, as we go into Your Words; speak to our hearts in the Name of Jesus; set our hearts on Fire, set our bones on Fire, set us on Fire for You in the Name of Jesus; make us Instruments of Honour.

As I speak Your Words today Father, speak through me to bless Your People.

At the End of it all, let Your People be blessed and Father in the Name of Jesus, take all the Glory.

In Jesus Powerful Name we have Prayed – Amen!

If you know that God is going to give you a New Beginning, say Amen – Amen.

If your Miracle is going to be Greater than others, say three Powerful Amen – Amen, Amen, Amen.

… So, shall it be in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

As I delivered these short words; Please Pray for me – My Coach, my father is behind me, watching me and I hope that I’m not shaking too much.

I know that it shall be well in Jesus Name – Amen!

The Title for this Short Message is: “A MANTLE FOR THE TITLE”.

Turn with me to the Book of Acts of The Apostles 2: 1-4.

… And I read:

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one Place.

2 And suddenly there came a Sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty Wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

… May the Lord bless the reading of the Words in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

A Mantle is a Staff of Authority that empowers an Individual to operate in the Office he or she is assigned and to deal with every issues that may be connected to the Office he or she occupied.

It is an Important Role in responsibility that Passes from the Superior to the Inferior or to the Junior.

I Pray for you today (or as you read on the Label of DMC): In the Name of Jesus, that the Mantle that you have received this Day from the Ordination from our father in the Lord Praying for you, in you obeying the Word; may you not lose that Mantle in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

As for Jesus Christ our Senior Brother, as our Leader, as our Pastor, as our Saviour – When He was going away, He Passed the Mantle to the Disciples and He told them in John 14:12.

He said: Verily, Verily I say unto you; the works that I do, you shall do and Greater Works than these shall you also do because I go to the Father.

When the Lord wants to accomplish a task on Earth; He can use and He will use whosoever He chooses.

David saved but Cyrus unsaved but it does not matter to God!

DMC NOTES: Isaiah 45:1-25 – The Author of the Book of Isaiah says that, although Cyrus (the King of Persia) does not acknowledge the “One True God”, the LORD will use him to set the Jewish exiles in Babylonia free and re-build Jerusalem.

Even God can appoint a Donkey to do His works.

I Pray for you in the Name of Jesus Christ: That Anointing that you have received today; the Mantle that you have received today will be used for the Kingdom in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

When God called Saul – All the favours that he enjoyed, all the Blessings he enjoyed, all the recognition he enjoyed were just a beginning of what God wants him to do.

When you read the Book of 1 Samuel 9; you will see there that there were some benefits that this Man was given:

1. He was made to sit where he or any of his Generation has never sat before – 1 Samuel 9:22.

It says: And Samuel took Saul and his Servant, and brought them into the Parlour (Hall), and made them sit in the Chiefest Place (of Honour) among them that were bidden, which were about thirty Persons.

As you Graduate today, as you are Ordained today – That “Seat of Honour” that God has Prepared for you; may no one take it from you in the Name of Jesus – Amen. May you sit where you have never sat before in the Name of Jesus – Amen

2. Because of this Ordination, Guess another thing that he enjoyed: A Reserved Place for Saul.

When you read 1 Samuel 9:24 – And the Cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul.

… A Nobody, a Man that has failed in all ramifications.

He was looking for the Donkey his father lost and he went into almost four (4) or five (5) Nations, he couldn’t find it.

But when the Day of his New Beginning came; he was made to sit in the “Reserved Place”.

In that same Verse 24 (1 Samuel 9:24) – So he the Cook took the shoulder and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! Set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the People. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.

Sir/Ma; there is a “Special Seat” reserved for you in the Kingdom!

… May you occupy that seat in Jesus Name – Amen.

And not that alone Sir/Ma – Do you know that the Servant of Saul (Saul was the one appointed) but he (Servant) enjoyed every Blessings that Saul enjoyed up to this Point (The Servant also Participated in it).

Look at 1 Samuel 9:24 – It says that: So the Cook took the shoulder and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul.

… They both ate together, they felicitated together, they were Congratulated together.

But when you turn with me to the Book of 1 Samuel 9:26; it says that: And they arose early: and it came to Pass about the Spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the Top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.

Please, look at that Bible Passage very well – That word “Up” there is not a Verb; it is an Action Word.

It is a Place (A Special Place) for those that are Ordained.*

It is important to Note that all the favours that Saul had enjoyed; all the Blessings that Saul and his Servant had enjoyed was allowed by the Almighty God

He has allowed the Path of Samuel and himself to cross but all the Blessings are not the reason.

Why? – The reason was why for a moment that is appointed unto him to have a New Beginning.

He was called to a “Upper Place” – That Place or “Up Place”; his Servant was not allowed, his wife is not allowed – Only him and Samuel: The one that is ordaining him was appointed.

Something has been kept aside for you today Sir/Ma and it is only you that is aware of it.

I Pray for you in the Name of Jesus – Especially for those of you that are being Ordained today: That thing that has been kept by God for today on your Ordination, may you not miss it by talking carelessly, by driving carelessly – Amen.

There is something that God has kept aside for you and you alone!

You remembered Sir/Ma that when we Ordained you today; we didn’t ordain you with your children, with your wife, or with your husband – Just only you!

So, God is calling all those that has been Ordained today to an “Up Place”. This is the Place you only can reach!

Turn with me to Mark 14:15 – It says: And he will show you a large Upper Room furnished and Prepared: there make ready for us.

May I say to you again – Those of you who are Graduating today, those of you who are Ordained today; that God will show you a “Large Place” an “Upper Place”, a “Furnished Place”, a “Prepared Place”; a Place made ready by the Almighty God – Amen.

May no Man take your Place in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Because every time that God Ordained you; every time God appoints you; every time God gives you a Mantle, He calls you to a “Special Place”.

Look at Revelation 4:1 – It says that: After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven.

May the door of Heaven be opened to you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

A door was opened in Heaven and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a Trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither (Higher).

Tell your Neighbour: Today, on the 2nd Day of the Convention; God is Calling you where? – To come up hither (Higher).

And I will show thee things which must be hereafter.

What do I need the Mantle for? Why do I need the Mantle?

Very Simple: Romans 8:19 says: For the earnest expectation of the Creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Do you know Sir/Ma that:

I. Your Neighbours were waiting for you to be Ordained?

II. The City is waiting for you to receive the Anointing.

III. The Sicks are waiting for you to receive the Anointing.

IV. Those who are Possessed with demons are waiting for you.

V. The Sinners are there waiting for you to encourage and bring them to the Kingdom.

VI. The Backsliders are waiting there for you to bring them back to the Church.

… You will manifest in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Many People are now in their homes that they don’t want to come back. But by the Special Annointing that you have received today, by the Mantle that you have received today; you are going to bring many to the Kingdom of God in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Title is not enough; Ordination is not enough; Position is not enough – It must be backed up by a “Mantle of Fire”.

It is important to understand Sir/Ma that this Mantle is a “Mantle of Authority”; this Mantle is a “Mantle of Power”; this Mantle is a “Mantle of Protection” because it says: Touch Not My Anointed and do My Prophet No Harm.

Nobody can molest you again, Nobody can abuse you again – It is a “Mantle of Respect” in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Even in Acts 10:38; it says: Acts 10:38 – 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.

Quickly, by the Special Grace of God, this Evening I want to look at this Topic in three (3) Sub Divisions:

1. How do we Ignite the Fire? – How does the Mantle works for me?
2. What is the Whole essence of Fire? What is the Whole essence of the Mantle?
3. How do I keep the Fire Burning?

May the Fire that you received today be burning in your Souls, Spirit and Body in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

OUTLINE NO 1: HOW DO WE IGNITE THE FIRE?

One thing that is common to the Carriers of the Mantle, to the Carrier of the Fire is what I call Passion.

The Disciples and the Brethren were Passionately waiting on the Day of Pentecost.

The Bible made us to understand that they waited for fifty (50) days – Forty (40) days Jesus Christ was still with them on Earth and ten (10) days in the Upper Room.

What were they waiting for Passionately?

They were waiting in the Upper Room and when the Fire came, Nobody molested them – They began to conquer Kingdom for the Almighty God!

In Acts 2: 1-4; where we read in our Bible Text; there is always “A Waiting” before the Pouring of Fire – Passionately, they waited.

Do you know Sir/Ma; all Carriers of Fire are Men and Women of Passion – You cannot be Full of Passion and be empty of Power!

Take Note of the following Points on Passion that will fuel your Passion from now henceforth:

Elisha as an example – He was so Passionate of the “Double Portion” that when they went to Gilgal, sit down but he refused; they got to Bethel, sit down but he said No sir; they went to Jordan, sit down but he said No sir – Until I received Fire, until I received Power.

Raise your hands and say: Father, give me Passion for Your work in the Name of Jesus!

Because they were Passionately waiting – Acts 2:1; it says that when the Day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all Passionately in one Accord.

No wonder that Fire fell!

… Fire will fall on you today – Amen!

There are some Points I need you to Note about Passion:

1. Passion Increases “Will Power”.

What we accomplished in Life is based less on what we want and more on how much you want it.

I. When you are Passionate about an Assignment, you don’t fall asleep.

II. When you are Passionate about a work; until the work is done; you don’t sit down.

2. Passion Produces Energy.

No Passionate Person lacks Energy.

A Person that has No Energy has no Passion!

3. Passion Generates Force of Breakthroughs.

Two Hundred (200) Executives were asked what was it that was needed most for Young People to be Successful?

The Number 1 Quality for us as an Executive to succeed is Enthusiasm and not Talent!

Eighty Percent (80%) of them recognised that they needed to be Fired within to achieve Success.

4. Passion Creates a Contagious Fire.

Show me a Church that is Passionate about the work of God; show me a Church that is Passionate about Evangelism; show me a Church that is Passionate about Prayers – They don’t need to invite People, as People will come to the Church because Fire of Passion is Contagious.

Acts 2: 2-3:

2. And suddenly there came a Sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

Without any Question; the Apostles were Men of Passion!

Raise up your hands and say: My Father, my Father; I need Passion – Ignite me, Set me on Fire for You Oh God in the Name of Jesus.

I need Passion for the work of God, for Holiness – As a Child of God to live Holy, to live Pure.

Father, create that Fire of Passion in me in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

OUTLINE NO 2: WHAT WAS THE WHOLE ESSENCE OF FIRE? WHY DO WE NEED THE FIRE?

Fire is not Idle – Fire is for Action. Fire is Aggressive, Fire doesn’t even know who sent it.

So, the essence of Fire is for “WAR,”.

W – Stands for “Witnessing”

A – Stands for “To Arrest every Opposition’s”

R – Resist every Demonic Powers, Demons from the Kingdom of Hell.

When we are talking about Witnessing; Acts 1:8 says: But ye shall receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you (Those who Graduated today, those Ordained today, those Listening or Reading on the Label of DMC, Family Members): and ye shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost Part of the Earth.

First as a Witness because there are many things that happens when you Witness for the Almighty God.

What is it that happens?

I. As a Witness, you bring Glory to the Almighty God.

John 15:8 says: Herein is my Father Glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my Disciples.

What does it takes for me to be a Disciple? – Witness!

II. The Love of Christ Compels/Constraints/Pushes us to share our Faith.

How many of you Love Jesus Christ?

That Love will constraint you to Witness for the Almighty God.

III. Sharing your Faith is a Command by the Lord Jesus Christ.

He said: Follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men.

IV. People without Christ are Lost and you are an Ambassador.

Jesus says: I am The Way, I am The Truth and I am The Light.

How many of you wants your Relatives to be Lost? How many of you wants your Family Members to be damned in Hell?

What must you do?

Witness! So that when the Trumpet of God will sound; yourself, your wife, your children, your Family Members, everyone of them shall be saved.

By the Special Grace of God – In my family; I was the first to be saved. Every Brothers and, every Sisters of mine are now saved.

And for every Souls that they won to the Lord; a Star is added to my Crown because I brought all of them to the Kingdom.

Ask your Neighbour: Is your Brother saved? Is your Sister saved?

If they go through Hell Sir/Ma; and you are going to Heaven; they are going to drag you.

May their Blood never be required of your Hand in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

V. God wants us to Witness because of the benefits He offered to those who received Christ.

When you introduced Jesus Christ to Others; they become Children of God.

And the Bible says that there is rejoicing in Heaven when a Single Person gave their Life to the Lord Jesus Christ.

How many of you wants to make Heaven rejoice? – So Witness!

VI. God wants you to Witness because of the benefits to those who Witness.

Witnessing stimulates your Spiritual Growth.

When you think that you are down, your Spirit is down; get out of your house and go everywhere to Witness – By the time that you come back Sir/Ma, your Spirit will be Up.

And when you are Witnessing, it compels you to Pray for them because everybody you bring to the Kingdom will stay saved and make it to the Kingdom in Jesus Name – Amen!

VII. God wants you to Witness so as to experience the Tremendous Privilege and Honour.

The Bible says that: He that wineth Soul is Wise!

How many “Wise People” do we have in the House (or reading now on the Label of DMC)? – The DMC Family Members!

If you are Wise, then win Souls for God!

By the Special Grace of God, I thank my father in the Lord. I have been following him now for the Past forty five (45) Years.

If you take Daddy GO (Pastor E.A Adeboye) and you cut him into Pieces; every Piece of him will be telling you: Live Holy, win a Soul for the Kingdom of God and Plant Church for the Kingdom of God.

… That is what I have learnt and he has not deviated!

I remembered that there was a time he came to America – He said: My sons, my daughters, what are you doing?

We responded: Sir, the People we have in America are not Qualified.

And he laughed – He looked at us and say: You that you are talking to me, are you Qualified when God called you?

He Qualified those who are Called!

Are you Called? – He will Qualify you in the Name of Jesus – Amen. You will be a Soul Winner, a Church Planter in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

MAY I DIGRESS: If God is Calling you to Plant a Church and there are some Politics on the way; Please see me (Pastor James Fadel) – Because the Mandate from my father is that in the Continent of America, we must Double.

… There is No Excuse not to Plant Church!

VIII. In Witnessing, you must Arrest every Oppositions.

With the Fire comes, boldness to arrest every Oppositions comes.

Therefore, every Oppositions to the Gospel, every Antagonist to the Gospel shall be destroyed.

The Disciples of Old were not afraid of any Oppositions – They will lock them up today, the Angel of God will come and open the Door. The next day they go everywhere silencing every Oppositions.

By the reason of the Anointing over your Head; may every Oppositions be Silenced in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

“R” means that you must resist the devil.

In Acts 3: 1-7 – As soon as the Fire fell on the Apostles and they received Power; they received the Power to resist the devil.

But the Question is: What if you are the devil?

It is easy to cast out devil but if it is you that is fighting your Neighbour and you don’t forgive? What about if you are the one that has Anger in your heart and you refused to let go?

May you not be your own Enemy in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Deliverance will come – The devil cannot Stand you if you have the Fire!

Raise up your hands and say: My Father, my Father; by the reason of the Fire, by the reason of the Mantle, by the reason of the Anointing; I resist every Power from Hell in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

OUTLINE NO 3: HOW DO I KEEP THE FIRE BURNING?

There is a Message our father in the Lord Preached about seven (7) Years to ten (10) Years ago and it is still trending on the Internet – About the fact that you must keep the Fire Burning.

The Message was Preached during “The Azusa Street Carnival”.

… The Fire should keep burning and it must never go out!

DMC NOTES: We can get to access the Voice Note and Full Text of the Azusa Street Carnival as Preached by Pastor E.A Adeboye in the Year 2006 in the Links below:

I. AUDIO:
https://discoverymediacrew.com/Audio-Azusa-Street-Revival-In-America-Pastor-E-A-Adeboye-2006

II. Full Text:

To keep the Fire Burning – Jude 1:20: But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your Most Holy Faith, Praying in the Holy Ghost.

I. If you are a “Full Pastor”; minimum of 2 Hours everyday – Pray in the Spirit, Pray in Understanding, Pray in the Anointing.

II. If you are a Child of God, minimum 1 Hour – Pray in the Spirit, Pray in Understanding, Pray in the Anointing.

Sir/Ma; if you can do that, every Oppositions will be Silenced, every Enemies will bow, every Close Doors will Open in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Raise your hands and say: My Father, my Father; give me Fire!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Classical Examples of those whose Fire went out and reasons

I. The Fire of Samson went out due to his Carelessness.

May you not lose your Fire – Amen; may you not be Careless about the work of the Lord – Amen.

II. The Fire of King Saul went out because of Disobedience.

Raise up your hands and say: My Father, my Father; every Spirits of Disobedience, I arrest you today in the Name of Jesus.

III. The Fire of Ananias and Sapphira went out because of Dishonesty.

Are you Paying your Tithe?

May you not be counted as a devil – Amen.

When your Obedience is Complete, Money will locate you – Amen!

In the Parable of the ten (10) Virgins; the Oil of the “Foolish Virgins” finished and so the Fire went out.

May your Fire never go out in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

So, what do I need to do so that my Fire will not go out?

Hebrews 1:9 – Thou hast loved Righteousness, and hated Iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the Oil of Gladness above thy fellows.

Two (2) Things that you need to do – LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATE INIQUITIES.

It is not enough for God’s Children to Love Righteousness; you must also hate Evil – Run away from Evil.

Believers must Participate in God’s Anger against sin – Don’t embrace a Sinner.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t bring them to the Kingdom – Bring them into the Kingdom in a sincere Love of Righteousness but hatred for Wickedness.

For the Fire of your Soul not to go down; you must do what I call: “GEEEP”.

I. G – Get down Under. Every morning, lay flat on your face and say: Jesus, I don’t even deserve where I am now; but by your Grace, I am who I am.

If not for God’s Mercy, who am I – A Village Boy. A Village that is not even in the Map of Nigeria but the Mercy of God spoke for me.

If you are here today Sir/Ma; and you have not given your Life to Jesus Christ; there is a Net spread before you – A Net of Mercy.

The Grace of God is reaching out to you wherever you may be right now and asking you to come.

God wants to save you, wash you, transform you into a New Creature.

The Bible says if any Man be in Christ, He is New Creature; Old Things has Passed away, behold everything has become New.

II. E – Expect God to use you as “Ordinary Vessel” for “Extraordinary Works”.

III. E – Embrace the True Identity that God has given to you.

IV. E – Experience Jesus Presence in your Life.

V. P – Place your Confidence in God rather than Man.

The Bible says: Woe is that Man that Put his Trust in Man.

… Ignite the Fire!

So this Evening, we are going to Stand Up and Sing:

Give me Oil in my Lamp
Keep me Burning
Give me Oil in my Lamp
I Pray
Give me Oil in my Lamp
Keep me Burning
Keep me Burning till the End of Day.

ALTAR CALL

If you are here today and you need a Mantle – The Mantle will not come except you become a Part of the Family of God.

I know that you came to celebrate with your family Members for their Graduation or Ordination.

But if you are here today and you have not given your Life to Jesus Christ; Acts 3:26 says: God has sent His Son Jesus Christ to come into the world to bless you and you departing from Iniquity.

If you are here today and you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; may I see your hands raised?

Say: Jesus, I want to surrender my Life to You.

If you are not shy, come to the front – The Almighty God is about to save you today, Purge you today, write your name in the Book of Life, transform you, give you a New Name, a New Identity.

And if you are here and you are already saved – Raise Up your two (2) hands as you sing that Song again:

Give me Oil in my Lamp
Keep me Burning
Give me Oil in my Lamp
I Pray
Give me Oil in my Lamp
Keep me Burning
Keep me Burning till the End of Day.

If you are giving your Life to Jesus Christ; Please Place your Right Hand on your Chest and say: Jesus, come into my Life. I am sorry for my sins, I know that God has sent You to the world to save me, to bless me. Save me Oh God, make me Your Son/Daughter today. Write my name in the Book of Life, Transform my Life, fill me with Your Fire in the Name of Jesus.

As from today; help me to be able to Witness to Others. I confess with my Mouth and believe in my heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead and I shall be saved. I received Your Salvation.

Thank You for saving me.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Please give your names, Address and Prayer Requests – Our father in the Lord will be Praying for you and we will hear more from you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Now, if you are here as a Child of God; raise your two (2) hands and say: My Father, my Father; give me the Grace to follow, to obey, to Witness, to develop Passion for the work of the Lord!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Come by Fire
Come by Sword
Come by Fire
Come by Sword
Come by Fire
Come by Sword
Fight my battles for me
Hallelujah

… Repeat!

THE 25TH ANNUAL AMERICAS CONVENTION (NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH) DAY 1

THEME: NEW BEGINNING

DATE: 18TH AUGUST 2021

BIBLE TEXT: LAMENTATIONS 3: 22-23

Let Us Pray!

SONG

Alpha, Omega

Alpha, Omega

You are Worthy of our Praises today

You are Worthy of our Praises today

Hallelujah

… Repeat!

OPENING PRAYER

The Almighty God – The Alpha and The Omega; The Beginning and The Ending; The One who was, The One who is, The One who is to come; The Almighty God – We bless your Holy Name for yet another Convention.

Thank You for all what You have done in the Past (Past 24 Editions of the America Conventions); Thank You for what You will do this Particular Week; Thank You for the Love that has kept us safe and sound till now; Thank You for the Salvation of our Souls.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Almight God because we know that Your Love that has kept us till now will keep us till the Very End.

Please accept our Worship and our Praises in Jesus Name.

Father, we are Praying that during this Convention (Americas Convention 2021); You will manifest Your Glory in all our lives and You will give each and everyone of us a Brand New Beginning.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

I want to rejoice with everyone of you – Particularly in the Americas for this very, very Unique Convention (Americas Convention 2021) with Delegates from Canada, USA, Central America, South America.

And I believed that this is truly a Convention of “New Beginning” and I am trusting God that God Himself will do something New in the Lives of each and everyone of us – Amen!

I will be speaking very briefly as an Introduction to the Convention itself on the Theme: “A NEW BEGINNING”.

My Bible Text today is going to be in: Lamentations 3: 22-23.

22. It is of the LORD’S Mercies that we are not consumed, because His Compassions fail not.

23. They are New every Morning: Great is thy Faithfulness.

How true is that Passage in the lives of many of us? – We will be attending this Convention (Americas Convention 2021) or connecting to us or reading on the Label of DMC via Internet

That we are still alive today is because of the Mercies of the Lord considering the ravaging of the Pandemic that has been sweeping Particularly through this Section of the world.

Thank God that it is only the People that are kept alive by God that can be alive today.

Thank God that inspite of everything the devil might have tried; we are still here.

Now, we are talking about “New Beginning” and you are Probably wondering why I choose that Particular Passage as a Good Bible Text for a “New Beginning”?

1. You see; everyday is Symbolic of a New Beginning.

As far as God is concerned; the basic Measurements of Time; the basic Measurements of Life is the Day!

When you are talking about: “How Old you are?”; God is not counting Years – He is talking about: “How many Days you have spent!

I mean Genesis 5: 4-5; the Bible says that all the “Days” of Adam were Nine Hundred and Thirt Six (936) Years.

We (Human Beings) call it Years but God calls it Days!

In Genesis 26:1; the Bible tells about the famine that were in the “Days” of Abraham.

… God is always talking about Days.

In Psalms 90:12; for example He says that: Teach us the Number of our “Days” that we may apply our hearts unto Wisdom.

2. Every Day is a New Beginning and even every Morning.

That is why that Passage says: It’s Mercies are New every Morning.

… Every Morning or Day is a New Beginning.

3. Now, it is important to note that God’s Day begins in the Evening.

I mean Genesis 1:5 – It says: And in the Evening and in the Morning, the 1st Day.

You go to Verse 8 (Genesis 1:8) – In the Evening, in the Morning, the 2nd Day.

Go to Verse 13 (Genesis 1:13) – And in the Evening and in the Morning, the 3rd Day.

… And so on and so forth.

God’s Day begins in the Evening Probably because Darkness comes before Light.

You know Genesis 1: 1-3 – When God created the Heaven and the Earth; Darkness covered the face of the whole Earth before God said: Let there be Light and there was Light.

… So, darkness came first!

Now, the implications are many:

I. One of the implications is found in Psalms 30:5 – Weeping may endure for a Night, but Joy comes in the Morning.

The Day may start with Sorrow but it will end with Joy!

And for all of you who are listening to me now or reading now on the Label of DMC who might be going through one crises or the other, you have one sorrow or the other; it’s a New Beginning and the New Beginning is going to be Joy – Amen!

And if you read Luke 7: 11-15; you will discovered that: The Greater the sorrow, the Greater the Joy will be!

You know the Story of the Widow who lost her son – Her only son and was going to bury the boy and met Jesus Christ on the Way and Jesus Christ said: Weep Not! You know the Story.

By the time Jesus Christ finished with her; there is no need anybody telling you how Great her Joy must be!

… Her sorrow was Great but her Joy was Greater!

I mean in John 11: 35-44 – In the Story of Lazarus.

The sorrow was so Great that even Jesus Christ wept. But by the end of the Story; the Testimony was Great!

I’m Praying for everyone of us who are connected to us during this Convention or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Bigger your sorrow, the Bigger your Joy will be – Amen; the Bigger your Problem,  the Bigger your Testimony – Amen!

I mean 1 Samuel 17: 1-51 – You know the Story of David Versus Goliath.

And you see clearly there that the Bigger the fight; the Greater the Victory and the Bigger the Storm, the Bigger the Peace.

In Mark 4: 35-41 – When there was a Great Storm when Jesus Christ was behind in the boat sleeping.

When they woke Him up, He says: Peace be Still!

The Bible says that there was a Great calm!

Greater calm follows Great storm because God’s Day starts in the Evening and a New Beginning will be in the Morning!

I’m Praying for everyone of us inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: You have a New Beginning of Joy, a New Beginning of Victory, a New Beginning of Peace in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!

4. Now, it is interesting to note that between any two (2) Days; there must be a Night.

As a Child of God, you need to appreciate this one: Between any two (2) New Days; there must be a Night!

I mean all you need to do is to take the Story of David for example in 1 Samuel Chapter 17.

After he killed Goliath and cut off his head – Oh, what a Glorious Day!

But you also know that it wasn’t long after that, that he was running away for his Life – From the very King that he had served Faithfully.

I mean by the time you get to 1 Samuel 22: 1-2 – The same David that was being hailed an Hero of the Nation; he was hiding in a Cave.

But then after that Night; another Day came when David was anointed to be King over Judah and then King over the whole of Israel.

So, In-between two (2) days; there will be a Night!

So, if you are Passing through a Night Season now – Congratulations; Day is nearby!

5. That comes with a bit of Sobering Thoughts – Suppose I’m Passing through a Day; are you Predicting that a Night might be on the Way?

Maybe I should just say that a Day can last for a Long Time – A Day can be Long; very, very Long!

I mean in 1 Kings 3:14 – The Bible says God Himself said: If you walk in my Ways, if you keep my Commandments; then I will lengthen thy Days.

… I can make the Day Long!

In Proverbs 10:27; the Bible says that the Fear of the Lord Prolong days but the Years of the wicked shall be shortened.

So, a Day can be long or it can be short – It all depends on you as an Individual!

I mean in Psalms 34: 12-14 – The Bible states clearly what you must do if you want your Days to be Long.

It said that: You desire Life and you Love many days; then He said:

I. Control your Tongue.

II. Depart from Evil.

III. Do Good.

IV. Seek Peace.

V. Pursue Peace.

In other words: You can have many days – The Days could be Long Provided you control your Tongue, you depart from Evil, you do Good, you seek Peace and you Pursue Peace.

And Psalms 90:14 says that it is Possible for you to rejoice and be glad all your days.

So for you: Today can be a New Beginning – A New Beginning in your Life and a New Beginning if you are backsliding and you want to come back to the Lover of your Soul!

In Luke 15: 11:24 – The Bible tells us about a son that wandered away from home.

… He moved from Day to Night!

Because when he left home; he was enjoying himself – Hey, there is Prosperity, there is Plenty of money to spend.

But it wasn’t long before the Night came – When he now had to be feeding Pigs and they won’t even allow him to eat the food that the Pigs will eat.

But suddenly in his Midnight; his Tides turned for him – The Bible says that he came to himself and decided that he will go back home!

He got back home and another Day began for him!

If you are not saved; today can be a New Beginning for you because 2 Corinthians 5:17 made it clear: If any Man be in Christ, He is a New Creature. Old Things has Passed away, behold all things has become New.

… You too can have a Brand New Beginning

6. Is it Possible that you can be in a Day and yet God can give you even a “New Beginning of Days’?

Is it Possible for God to move you from a “Good Day” to a “Better Day’?

In other words: You are a Child of God, you have not backslidden; you are enjoying a “Good Day”; you are riding High – Oh, it is Possible as the Almighty God knows what to do!

I mean Genesis 30: 22-24 for example – God remembered a woman who had been in a Night for barrenness.

He remembered her, opened her womb and she brought forth a son called Joseph.

Oh, what a Day – It was a Glorious Day when the child was born. A child that was very Great, a child that Preserved a whole Nation.

I mean in Genesis 50: 15-20 – The Bible made it clear. The son that was born that day was the one God used to Preserve the whole Nation of Israel.

But that woman said something the day that boy (Joseph) was born: She said that God will give me yet another one.

… This is a “Great Day” for me; she said that a “Greater Day’ is coming! – And she Produced another boy called Benjamin.

How Great was Benjamin?

Benjamin was the one who Produced the first (1st) King of Israel – The Tribe of Benjamin in 1 Samuel 9: 19-21 Produced King Saul.

Oh, you can have a “Greater Day” if you are already in a Day!

7. And then don’t forget that there is a Place where there is never a Night.

Oh, how wonderful will it be when we get to Heaven? How wonderful will it be when we have a situation when there will never be a Night?

That is where our Joy will Last forever

I mean that you have remembered that at one day or the other; you want to have a “Very Special” Celebrations – Maybe your Birthday or your Wedding Day and everybody has been looking forward, everybody has been Preparing.

And finally the Day came and Oh there was a lot of excitement and suddenly before you know it, the Day is over and you wish that you can extend that Day – Turn twenty four (24) Hours maybe to a One Hundred (100) Hours.

When you get to Heaven, there will be No Night there!

If you are there in Joy, that Joy will be forever!

If you can just make it to Heaven; then you make it to that Day that never ends

ALTAR CALL

That is why I’m appealing to everyone of us that even during this “Introductory Message”; you recommit yourself to the Pursuit of that God that will take you to Heaven at Last!

If you do that and you are able to make it to Heaven at Last; I will rejoice with you because I will be there with you because I am going to Heaven and I want as many of you to come along.

Today can mark a New Beginning of Commitment to the One who can take us to that Place of the “Endless Day”.

And therefore, I’m making three (3) Altar Calls now:

1. I’m Calling on those of you who are yet to be Born Again because if you are not Born Again you are going to a Place where the Night never ends.

But if you come to Jesus Christ today – He will save Your Soul and He will translate you from that Place of Total Darkness into the Place of Perfect Light!

2. I’m making a Call to those of you who has backslidden, who has tasted Salvation and you know how sweet it is.

Let this Day mark a New Beginning for you – Return to the Lover of your Soul so that you too could end up in the Land where there is never a Night.

3. Now, I’m making a Third (3rd) Call to those of us who are in Jesus Christ to re-examine ourselves and make a New Commitment to our Saviour – Because the Word of God is clear: He who thinks he Stand should take heeds lest he falls.

So, I’m calling on the three (3) of you to make a Decision now so that we can all have a Brand New Beginning of a Journey into that Land of “Endless Joy”.

And if you make that Decision, that Commitment now; then I will see you there!

Let Us Pray!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Words and I want to give You all the Glory and Honour once again for this Special Convention.

I’m committing all those who are making a Decision, who are Submitting their lives to You today – I’m committing them into Your Hands; Father Please receive them all, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins and write their names in the Book of Life so that they will be able to make it to that Land of “Endless Joy”.

And I’m committing all Backsliders who will say: I’m coming back home – Please, receive them also. And this time around, Please don’t let them ever backslide again.

Lord, I’m committing those of us who thinks we Stand into Your Hands; more than ever before; Lord God Almighty let Your Holy Spirit wake us up to the realisation of the danger of falling asleep even on our Journey to Heaven.

Wake us up Lord so that like never before, we will rededicate ourselves Lord and said that whatever it will cost by Your Grace we will make it.

Help us Oh Lord; empower us Oh Lord; so that all of us will make it to that Land of the “Endless Day”.

Let this Day be a New True Beginning for each and everyone of us and we will give You all the Glory forever.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
