*OPENING PRAYER*

Immortal, Invincible, the Only Wise One!

The One who was, the One who is, and the One who is to come.

The Ancient of Days, the I AM THAT I AM, the Mighty Man of War.

The One who created the Heavens and the Earth.

The Head of the Church Triumphant; the Head of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

The God of our fathers, the God of our Help in Ages Past.

The Greatest Being in Heaven and Earth.

Lord, we say Thank You!

Dear God we ask Tonight that You will send that Word that will bring Deliverance to our lives.

That Word that will take us from one Level of Greatness to the Level of Greatness where You want us to be – Father, send to us Tonight.

And Lord, where You find that “Loud Amen”, Please send a very Big Blessing.

So shall it be!

For in Jesus’ Almighty Name we’ve Prayed – Amen.

Celebrate Jesus – Hallelujah.

Amen and Amen.

Before I Proceed, I would like to thank the Leadership of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.(RCCG), including our Daddy and Mummy; for giving us – The Young People this wonderful opportunity to bring the Word of God to God’s People.

*It is my Prayer that we would continually make you Proud, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

• Christian Perspectives on Homosexuality

Growing up in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), there was a saying that we used to have.

Infact, they did it as a Song – And the thing was a very simple one.

They would say:

*”Verily, verily I say unto you, I shall be Great, I shall be Lifted, and it shall be well with my Soul.’*

Luke 1:26-33

… Where it concerns you, I want you to shout a very Powerful Amen (as I read).

26 And in the sixth Month the Angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a City of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a Virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the Virgin’s name was Mary.

28 And the Angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her Mind what manner of Salutation this should be.

30 And the Angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his Name Jesus.

32 He shall be Great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the Throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his Kingdom there shall be no end.

*May the Lord bless the reading of His Word, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

My Brothers who spoke before me have already established the definitions of Greatness and Destiny.

1. *Greatness is Progressive:

We have in Proverbs 4:18, the Bible says, But the Path of the Just is as the Shining Light, that shines more and more unto the Perfect Day.

God has Destined us for Greatness. Yet He can also increase that Greatness.

Meaning He can exceed what He has Planned for us.

The Bible says in Psalm 71:21, Thou shalt increase my Greatness, and Comfort me on every side.

2. *Greatness is Transgenerational:

Greatness can go from Generation to Generation.

*And one of the most important things about Greatness that we must understand is that: “Every Child of God that is Born Again and redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, carries Greatness in their DNA.”*

When a Lion is born; the first day the Lion is born, that Lion is a king same day.

A Day-Old Lion is more influential than a fifteen (15) years old Goat.

The first words recorded that God had said to Humanity;

– Were the Words of Blessing.

– Were the Words of Fruitfulness.

– Were the Words of Dominion.

That’s why the Bible says in Genesis 1:28 – And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be Fruitful, and Multiply, and Replenish the Earth, and Subdue it: and have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every Living Thing that moveth upon the Earth.

*But what is Greatness to a Man that has everything?

In our Country where we are Preaching from (Nigeria), the highest honour somebody gets might be GCFR (Grand Commander of the Federal Republic).

For a Military Man, the highest Honour might be a Silver, Gold or a Bronze Star.

Even in England, the highest Honour might be the Order of the British Empire.

*But for Children of God, the highest Honour, the Zenith of our Greatness, is the “Crown of Life.”*

James 1:12 says, Blessed is the man that endureth Temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the Crown of Life, which the Lord hath Promised to them that love him.

*The Crown of Life – That’s the highest Level of Greatness that a Child of God can get.*

What now secures our Greatness?

It’s the Word of God – The Word of God is that which secures our Greatness.

We see in Psalm 33:8-9, it’s says:

Let all the Earth fear the Lord; let all the Inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

Numbers 23:19 say, God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

… When God speaks, it is Settled!

*Your Greatness is not a suggestion, People of God – Your Greatness is a Divine Decree.*

God’s Promises are Bankable.

So no matter how big your Dream is, send God the bill; He can foot it because His Promises are Bankable.

You can take it anywhere; God’s Promises are Bankable!

*Before we go further; the number one hindrance to the Greatness of a Child of God is Sin.*

The Bible says in Isaiah 59:2-2: Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your Iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

*Even though all of us are Destined to be Great, not everyone can end up as a Great Person.*

*And we see few Examples in the Scripture:*

I. Cain:

Cain was the firstborn of Humanity – he was born first.

But h ended up as a Vagabond – Genesis 4:12.

II. The Sons of Eli:

They had a Generational Promise – God told them, “You will stand before Me all the days f your Life.”

But in 1 Samuel 2:30-36, we see how the children of Eli ended.

III. Gehazi:

He was destined for four (4) times the Anointing of Elijah.

Because Elisha had Double of the Anointing and Gehazi by calculation, was meant to get four (4) times of the Anointing of Elijah.

But we see there in 2 Kings 5:20-27 how his Life ended.

IV. Judas:

We see one of the biggest Sell-Outs in all of Humanity (Judas).

Judas walked with God all through – He was a “Church Boy”. He was with Jesus everytime.

But he still lost Eternity – Matthew 27:25.

You see, not every one takes the same Path to Greatness – And you have to recognize your Category Tonight.

1. *Some are Born Great:*

I. Jacob: He was born Great, according to Romans 9:10-13.

The Bible tells us there: As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

II. Samson in Judges 13:2-5 – Before Samson was born, he had been declared Great.

2. *Some Achieve Greatness:*

I. David: He was born as an Outcast.

But in 1 Samuel 17:51, we see how David became Great by killing Goliath.

Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their Champion was dead, they fled.

II. Elijah:

We see in 1 Kings 17:1, there was no Ancestral Lineage of Elijah.

What the Bible said is: And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the Inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

“Tishbite” from where?

But when we get to Heaven, we will ask him.

That’s why you have to make it to Heaven.

3. *Some have Greatness Thrust upon them:*

I. Peter:

In Luke 5:1-11, he had Greatness thrust upon him.

II. Elisha:

In 1 Kings 19:19-21, he was there minding his own business, but Elijah gave him the Mantle to follow him.

Jesus was in a boat with the Disciples, and there was a storm – Matthew 8:23-27.

Because Jesus was in the boat, He was the safety of the boat.

It was not about how Skillful the People Paddling the boat were.

The Bible tells us: And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little Faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

*A “Great Calm” is coming to your Life Tonight – Amen.*

About six (6) years ago, we were in a Conference in Netherlands – The Conference, “Europe Arise” was held In a Place called Utrecht. It was around April of that year (DMC NOTES: The Conference took Place during the Easter Period on April 17th to 21st, 2019 in Jaarbeurs-Utrecht Netherlands).

Some of us went ahead before Daddy G.O came in.

Summer had already started in the Place. And as a Village boy, I don’t like cold.

So I was telling the People, “I Pray that by the time Daddy G.O arrives, everything will be normal” – It was just a wish.

But do you know that as Daddy G.O landed in another City and they called to inform us that he is around; we went to that City to meet Daddy G.O.

When we came back into Utrecht, the Weather was normal.

*Why? Because a Territorial Commander was around:*

Let’s assume that one is too far! Three (3) weeks ago (NOTES: 14th May 2025 Specifically), we were in Milan for “Light Up Italy”.

Right where we were in Milan, there was a heavy downpour. Infact, a lot of People in the Hotel didn’t know how heavy the rain was.

And the next day, while I was checking the News in the Morning, I saw that there was a flood that ravaged many parts of the City but that flood did not come near our dwelling.

Why? Because Territorial Commanders were around!

*… So Greatness makes you a Territorial Commander.

Why? The Bible says in Proverbs 18:10, The name of the LORD is a Strong Tower: the Righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

In Joshua 10:13, the Bible tells us that the Sun stood Still, and the Moon stayed, until the People had avenged themselves upon their Enemies.

Because Joshua, a Territorial Commander, was there.

Because we are Citizens of Zion, everything that is accrued to Zion is ours.

Many People say they are the Gen-Z – Permit me to introduce you to the real “Gen-Z”.

The “Z” there is not what the world thinks – *We are of the “Generation of Zion”: “Gen Z.”*

And how do I know?

The Bible says in Psalm 24:1-end – It says: The Earth is the Lord’s, and the Fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

But before I continue, I want us to also look at Hebrews 12: 22-24 – it says:

But ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an Innumerable Company of Angels, To the General Assembly and Church of the firstborn, which are written in Heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the Spirits of Just men made Perfect, And to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the Blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

That’s where we have come.

That’s why we are “Generation Zion”.

We have not come to a Mountain that we cannot touch; “we have come unto Mount Sion, and unto the City of the Living God.”

*It’s not just about coming to Mount Zion; we have to ascend Mount Zion to get our Greatness.*

And that takes us back to Psalm 24:4-10 which says:

Who shall ascend into the Hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his Holy Place? He that hath Clean hands, and a Pure Heart; who hath not lifted up his Soul unto Vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and Righteousness from the God of his Salvation. This is the Generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye Everlasting Doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The LORD Strong and Mighty, the LORD Mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye Everlasting Doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts, he is the King of Glory. Selah.

Because the Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower, when you go to battle, it is Christ that is holding your hand – So you are not the one fighting the battle.

Daddy G.O told us few years ago, that there are three (3) Scenarios in a battle. He said;

– You can be less than a Conqueror.

– You can be a Conqueror; or

– You can be More Than a Conqueror.

He said, when you are less than a Conqueror, it means God is fighting you.

He said, when you are a Conqueror, it means God is fighting with you.

*But when you are More Than a Conqueror, it means God is the One fighting for you.

No wonder in Psalm 110:1, the Bible says: The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine Enemies thy footstool.

Because Greatness is transgenenational, the opposite of Greatness can be transgenerational as well.

Look at what the Bible says about Reuben in Genesis 49:4 – Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

But somebody came with a higher Priesthood, just as Daddy G.O would be coming Tonight with a higher Anointing.

Deuteronomy 33:6 says, Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his Men be few.

You will Live!

You will not die!!

Your Men will not be few!!!

Daddy G.O once told us, he said: “Destiny has a way of removing Death – If it’s not time to die you cannot die.”

Because there is a Mechanism inside of Destiny that ensures that Death is put away.

The Bible says in Isaiah 33:6, And Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the Stability of thy times, and Strength of Salvation: the fear of the LORD is his Treasure.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 says, For Wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of Knowledge is, that Wisdom giveth Life to them that have it.

I didn’t understand this Scripture until I saw few years ago how God used the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) as a Defense to the World, through Knowledge.

And let me explain how:

So many years ago, when the Redemption City was starting.

Note: We no longer call it ‘Redemption Camp’. It’s now the Redemption City, because it’s a City of God.

When this City was starting, our mother-in-the-Lord, Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye who would be clocking 77 years by July 13th 2025; she gathered children of Labourers together and started teaching them little by little.

She did not look at the fact that she was teaching children of Bricklayers, Labourers and the likes; she sent them all the way to Netherlands to be trained as an Educator.

When she came back, the Greatness started Progressing, until we have Redeemer’s University (RUN).

Then when the Ebola Pandemic came, one of the Greatest Defense of the world – Not just Nigeria, was Redeemer’s University (RUN).

How? Because they were able to synthesize a Test Kit that would Test Ebola on the spot.

Someone sought for Knowledge, and it started as a small seed – Because Greatness is Progressive.

We’ve said it already, that Destiny has a way of cancelling Death.

The Bible says in Psalm124:6-7 – Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a Prey to their teeth. Our Souls has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

You have escaped Tonight.

You have escaped the Jaws of Death Tonight.

You have escaped Accident Tonight.

You have escaped Calamity Tonight.

You have escaped Poverty Tonight

Shout: “I have escaped!”

Even Jesus escaped.

In John 10:39, the Bible says, Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

*Somebody said the full meaning of FEAR is: “Forget Everything And Run!”*

Great People are not afraid of anything.

The Spirit of Fear is so Powerful.

That is why in 2 Timothy 1:7, the Bible says, For God hath not given us the Spirit of fear; but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound Mind.

God had to give you three (3) Spirits to cancel the Spirit of fear because of how Powerful it is, and how it limits People.

Ha! God loves us.

He said, I give you the Spirit of Power, Love and Sound mind to cancel fear.

In the School of Disciples (SOD); we are taught that a Disciple, as an Eagle, when he sees the storm, he rejoices in the Storm.

He rejoices!

In the Scripture, we see that all the Weapons God gave us in Ephesians 6:14-17; the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Shoes of the Gospel, the Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation, the Sword of the Spirit.

There was nothing to cover the back.

Why? Because we are not meant to turn our back!

“It’s already too late. It won’t make sense. Where am I going?”

We are ready to Change the world for Jesus, because we are set aside for Greatness.

The Bible says in Psalm 92: 1-6 – He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.

This was conversation between David amd somebody else.

And then the Person responded and said, Oh! I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

Then there was a response: Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the Noisome Pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by Night; nor for the arrow that flieth by Day; nor for the Pestilence that walketh in Darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at Noonday.

He said: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

He said: Only with thine eyes shall thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy Habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any Plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

He said: They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the Lion and Adder: the young Lion and the Dragon shall trample under feet.

… And the Almighty God Himself now responded. He said:

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long Life will I satisfy him, and shew him my Salvation.

*He said that “With long Life will He satisfy you, satisfy your Generation and show you His Salvation” – Amen.*

*How do you see the Salvation of God? It is by entering the Economy of Joy.*

*The Economy of Joy is the Natural Habitat of Greatness.*

Great People reside in Joy – They stay where there is Joy.

It is only where there is Joy that you would find Great People. Because they don’t stay where there is sadness, sorrow, gloominess, etc.

They stay where there is Joy!

And there is Joy in the House Tonight.

Regardless of what is going on in your Life Tonight; the Bible says in Habakkuk 3:17: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the Labour of the Olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls.

The Bible says in Psalm 16:11, Thou wilt shew me the Path of Life: in thy Presence is Fullness of Joy; at thy Right Hand there are Pleasures for evermore.

*Joy is different from Happiness.

*Happiness is temporary; but Joy is Eternal.

Thank You Father! Oh, Thank You Jesus.

Finally, as our father-in-the-Lord will be coming Tonight and he will be making the Altar Call; I want you to run, not like your Life depends on it.

I want you to run because your Life actually depends on it.

Your Life is not this one you have here in Earth; it is in Eternity.

Our father-in-the-Lord Preached a Sermon so many years ago; and you can find it on the RCCG Open Heavens Website – It is titled, “The City that the Sun never Sets.”

God Himself is the Light of that City and that is the City I want to find you.

The Bible says in Job 14:8-9, Though the root thereof wax old in the Earth, and the stock thereof die in the Ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a Plant.

There is Hope for you!

There is Hope for you, Beloved Children of God.

The Bible says in Amos 3:12, Thus saith the Lord; As the Shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the Lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.

– Regardless of how far you have gone;

– Regardless of whatever your situation is like;

– Regardless of how bad things are;

Provided you have legs, and can hear me or you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC:

Make sure you Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ today Genuinely.

Shall we rise up now on our feet and stretch forth your hands.

Dear Lord, I Pray for Your Children Tonight:

That You will take them from one Level of Greatness to the Level where You want them to be.

Any wall that is Standing between them and their Greatness Tonight; let it become a Plain.

And Lord, I introduce them into the Economy of Joy!

So shall it be.

For in Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.

Find a Neighbour and tell him or her;

Verily, Verily, I say unto you:

You shall be Great.

You shall be Lifted.

It shall be well with you!

You shall be Great.

You shall be Lifted.

It shall be well with you!

Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
