And then, you may Please be seated,

*This Morning, we are talking about “Divine Opportunities”.*

And our Bible Text will be taken from: Mark 10:46-52:

46. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his Disciples and a great number of People, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

47. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have Mercy on me.

48. And many charged him that he should hold his Peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have Mercy on me.

49. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

50. And he, casting away his Garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

51. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

52. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy Faith hath made thee Whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

*Opportunity is a “Divine Helper” sent to Help Someone who needs Help urgently to be able to achieve God’s Ultimate Purpose for his or her Life.

*There are two (2) things that you can do when it comes to Opportunities:

1. It is either when the Opportunity comes your way, you seize it.

2. Or if you are Careless, you loose it.

*If you seize the Opportunity, then for the rest of your Life; you got it made!

*And I am Praying for Someone Today that: That Opportunity that will give you a Mighty Breakthrough, and that will take care of your situations for the rest of your Life; God will give it to you Today – Amen!*

*If you miss that Opportunity, that Opportunity may never come back again!

A Poet in the Olden Days wrote a Poem and he says:

“There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; neglected/omitted, all the voyage of their Life is bound in shallows and miseries”

*NOTES: This is a famous line from William Shakespeare’s Play Julius Caesar – It means that there are opportune moments in Life, like a rising tide, that can lead to Success if seized, but if missed, can lead to a Life of Hardship and Disappointment. The line is spoken by Brutus to his fellow conspirators as they contemplate their next move in a conflict.

The African Elders will tell you that Opportunity is a Man – A Man that has Plenty of hair Infront of his head but at the back of the head is bald.

So they that when you see Opportunities coming; you better grab him by the front of his head because the moment he Passes by you and you try now to grab it; you will discovered that the back of the head is bald.

You try to catch it then, you will catch Nothing!

*Everyone that God Created will get at least one Major Opportunity – You grab it, then you are Settled for Life or if you miss it, then that might be byebye.

*I Pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ that Today, God will send you a Major Opportunity and that He will give you the Grace to grab and seize it so that from now on and for the rest of your Life; you will be riding High – Amen!

*We will take one (1) or two (2) Examples of those who seize Opportunities and what was the results!

1. In 1 Kings 19: 19-21; we have a Man called Elisha there.

He was already doing very well – He was the son of the Richest Farmer in the Land.

But then, one day came when a Prophet Passed by him and threw his Mantle upon him.

And something told Elisha: The Purpose for which you are born is now about to begin to happen.

And what did he do?

He seize the Opportunity – He let go of everything and decided to follow the Servant of God.

Later on in Life, this Unknown son of a farmer became so Mighty that everywhere he went; even Wealthy People beg him to come to their home to dine (DMC NOTES: The Story of Elisha and a Great Woman of Shunem as documented in 2 Kings 4:8).

And by the time you get to 2 Kings 13: 14-21; you will discovered that even Kings call him Daddy.

And that even after he died, his dead bones still raised the Death ( NOTES: 2 Kings 13: 20-21).

*He had an opportunity of a Lifetime – He seized it and Today, we are still reading about him!

2. Another Good Example will be a Woman that you read about in Mark 5: 25-34 – DMC NOTES: The Woman with the Issue of Blood.

This Woman had a Problem that no Doctor could Solve – She has been bleeding for twelve (12) Years everyday continuously.

Doctors has referred her here and there until she was Completely Broke.

Then she heard that Jesus Christ was Passing by and something told her: “Here comes your Opportunity”.

And she moved Fast – Struggled through the crowd and touched the hem of the Garment of Jesus Christ.

That Day, her Problems were over.

Yes she was healed of the Issue of Blood – And I can assure you that it wasn’t long after that she got married and got her children.

*She would have bled to death if she had missed that opportunity.

3. And then of course, the Bible Text that we read to you – Mark 10: 46-52.

Bartimeaus was a Beggar sitting by the roadside begging.

He couldn’t attend the Crusade that Jesus Christ had organised but he had heard of all the Miracles that the Son of God had Performed.

So, when he heard that Jesus Christ was Passing by; he knew that this is the Opportunity of my Lifetime.

So, when he cried to Jesus Christ for Mercy and People told him to keep quiet; he refused to keep quiet but cried louder.

And you know what? Jesus Christ never came back to Jericho.

*If God had not opened the eyes of Bartimeaus that Day; he would have died in Darkness!

But because he seize the Opportunity, Today we are reading about him thousand of Years after he died.

*Oh, but there are those who lost their Opportunities – Maybe we will just mention one (1) or two (2):*

1. Someone like Gehazi.

Gehazi was the Servant of Elisha – If there was anybody who was Placed by God to become the Greatest Prophet, it was Gehazi.

Why? Because when Elisha was to die; he would have asked Gehazi just as Elijah asked Elisha – “Gehazi, what can I do for you before I go?”

And his answer Probably could have been: ” Give me a Double Portion of your Spirit”.

Imagine what a Double Portion of the Spirit of Elisha could have done for Gehazi?

But instead of him seizing the Opportunity that the Almighty God had given him by Postioning him with a Man who can say to a Leper: “Go and wash and be Clean”.

I mean that it was Gehazi who delivered the Message of Elisha to Naaman – And so he knew every details.

He was living with a Man with an “Awesome Power”.

He was living with a Man who can speak to River Jordan and River Jordan will become a Curer of the Incurable.

*But because of Money, he lost the Opportunity and ended up becoming the Patron Saint of Lepers.

2. There is another Fellow who lost his own Opportunity – His name is Judas Iscariot.

The Bible tells us in Acts Chapter 1, reading from Verse 15 – Peter was talking about Judas Iscariot and he said: “This Man was with us – He saw all the Miracles that Jesus Christ did”.

This Man had been with us when we went out casting out Demons.

But he declined to loose the Opportunity and he ended up hanging himself.

This Morning, I don’t want to talk too much.

*I will just give you some illustative Examples of those who had Opportunities, seizes it and those who had Opportunities and missed it.

Because Today, I believed that God is going to give some Major Opportunities to certain People.

*My Prayer is that you will seize your own Opportunity so that at the end of the Day; you will have cause to rejoice!

*Let me give you an Example of Somebody who had an Opportunity and seize it:

I was invited to to come and Minister by the Traditional Ruler of one Town not too far from where I am now and I went because the Traditional Ruler happened to be one of my Spiritual Children.

And he wanted to Thank God for so many things that God has down for him.

When I got to the Church, just as I was about to settle down; the Chiefs of the Traditional Ruler began to come forward to the Church – And I mean that they were deeply Occultic

They came fully dressed in the various dresses of their various Secret Societies.

You can see that they came to show everybody that they really belonged to the devil.

The Ushers saw them coming and said: Sir, are we going to allow these People into the Church?

I said of course – Bring them in. Put them in the front rows where Jesus Christ will be able to reach them very quickly.

They came and I Preached – I was much Younger than this then as I am talking of more than 40 years ago.

I Changed my Sermon – I was going to Preach on “Oh that Man should Praise the Lord”. But when I saw these People, I Changed my Sermon to: “What happened on Mount Carmel?

And I hit the devil hard – I was Young and I have lots of zeal but maybe not as much Wisdom as I have now.

At the end of the day, I Challenged all of them – And they knew that I was Preaching at them.

I said that I came here with my wife and my son in a car with Registration Number so, so and so.

I said that if you think that your god can do anything, let him make one of my tyres flat.

And if that happened, I will serve your god.

But if he can’t do that, then you must Surrender to my God.

Then I made the Altar Call – And the Second in Command of the King, who was the Head of all Secret Societies was the first Person to come forward to Surrender his Life to Jesus Christ.

And of course when the other Chiefs saw that their Head was going forward; they followed him.

After the Service, the King said “E.A” and I said sir – Because we are very close and so calls me by my initials.

Let’s follow up this High Chief – Maybe he doesn’t know what you asked him to come forward for.

Maybe he thought that you are asking him to come forward for Healing.

So we went to his house and the King asked him: Why do you Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ? Why do you go forward when the Altar Call was made?

He said: Ha, you see a small boy like this Challenging all of us – Who does not know that he has Somebody behind him?

He said that it is the One behind him that I Surrendered to.

That Man was very Old – He was over 90 Years Old

He diied 30 Days later.

*All his Life he has served the devil but within 30-Days of dying he Switched to the side of the Lord!*

*He had an opportunity and he grabbed it!*

And today I”m sure – When I finally get to Heaven that he is one of the People I will meet.

*I am going to tell you two (2) Stories about those who has Opportunities and lost them.*

This Story is important because of those of you who we are Praying for Specially today – Those of you interested in Financial Breakthrough in one form or the other.

There was this Young Man – Everyday he will come to me: Daddy, Pray for me, I want God to give me a Financial Breakthrough.

And so, I kept on Praying.

Then one day he came excited – Daddy, God has answered your Prayers.

I said what happened?

He said that my Landlord called me and said: I have a house in Ikoyi – Thirteen (13) Flats. I want you to go and sell it for me and bring me “So, So, So” much amount.

It doesn’t matter how much you sell it; this is what I want.

He said that God has answered your Prayers because the Price he is asking me to bring is less than half what that thing will cost.

I said Congratulations

Then he went and got Somebody who was ready to Pay much more higher than the Landlord was asking for.

And then he came back to me – Oh, this your God is Wonderful as He really, really answer Prayers.

I said fine – Now you are going to Pay your Tithe. And you have thirteen (13) Flats at your disposal.

I said maybe in that case you will give one of the thirteen (13) Flats to God – Afterall, ten Percent (10%) of thirteen (13) is more than one (1).

And he got angry – I mean: He was very furious.

He said: That is the Problem with you Pastors – I’m getting the first Breakthrough in my Life and the first thing you want me to think about is the Payment of my Tithe.

I said Please forgive me.

He said what kind of nonsense is that? And he Stormed out of my Office.

And then the following day, he went to the Landlord – Yes sir, the house you asked me to sell; I have sold it now.

Where do you want me to Pay the “So, So, So” amount you asked for?

The Man said: You sold my house? And he said Yes

For how much do you say you sold it? For “So, So, So” much.

My House? Is that not Number “So, So, So”? He said Yes sir.

I asked you to sell my House for that amount?

And the Man spoke in Yoruba and said: “Ati iwo ati eniti o se ogun ye fun e; e ku pa po” (DMC NOTES: Both you and the Person that made that Charm for you; both of you will die together).

In other words, he was saying: The one who gave you the Charm that you used to charm me for me to say what you said I said; both of you will die together!

If you don’t get out of my House!

So, he ran and came back to me – Daddy, help me!

I said what for sir!

He said Pray! My Landlord has Changed his Mind.

I said Please don’t get me involved o – It is between you and God. Go and settle with Him.

Up till Today, he is still a Tenant!

But that is a Minor one – I will tell you a Bigger one which many of you know.

Because I know that some of you will say: Assuming I have lost an Opportunity, is God not Big enough to restore? Can’t He give me at least another Chance?

Oh He can – I will give you illustration of People who lost Opportunity and God gave them another Opportunity but they still lost it.

A very Good Example will be King Saul.

King Saul was tested whether he will be Obedient to God.

Prophet Samuel told him: Wait for me, I will be coming to make Sacrifice to God.

He waited for some time – He checked the whatever Clock that he was carrying and he felt that Prophet Samuel was late and so went ahead to offer the Sacrifice.

He said that: What a Pastor can do; a King can do better.

As soon as he finished making the Sacrifice, Prophet Samuel arrived – What have you done?

He said that I waited for you but you didn’t come on time and that was why I went ahead to do the Sacrifice.

Prophet Samuel said to him: If only you have waited, you and your family would have ruled forever.

But because you have disobeyed God, your Kingdom will not Last.

NOTES: You can read the Story in 1 Samuel 13: 8-14*

But then, God in His Infinite Mercies looked down from Heaven and said: Let us give this boy another Chance and let us test whether he will be Obedient now.

And then you see what happened in 1 Samuel Chapter 15 – God called Saul and said to him: Alright now, I want you to go and do this to the Amalekites et cetera et cetera – Killed everything that you meet in that Town.

He got there he killed everybody:

I. He spared the King so that he can make a Triumphant Entry to say that I have Conquered. Look at their King that is now my Slave.

II. And then he saw some fat animals and said: I can’t kill everything now! This must be Good food.

*He missed his Opportunity twice and the King ended up being a Mad Man!*

So, I will tell you the Story of a Man who lost his Opportunity and God gave him another Opportunity and he still lost it again.

I was sitting at my Desk at the University of Lagos.

I was about to write a “Learned Paper” – I have spelt out the Problem and I have spelt out how I am going to attack the Problem.

And I was going to continue when suddenly I heard God said: “Go to Chief ‘So So So’ – Tell him that I love Him and tell him that if he will Surrender his Life to me, I will forgive all the sins that he has ever done and I will take him to Heaven at the Last Day.

I said: Lord, I have heard of this Chief but I don’t even know his Address – I just know that he lived in a Particular Town.

And God told me to write the Letter to him and then write at the back of the Envelope: Chief So So So; Chief So So So House; So So So Town and Post the Letter.

I did what God said.

In those days, if the Letter arrives in three (3) Months, you will Thank God.

But this Letter, with that Little Address arrived within 3 Days because God guided the Letter.

And the next thing that I saw was that the Driver of the Chief came to my Office and said: Chief asked me to tell you that: I got your Letter and I want you to wait for me in your Office as I will come.

The following day, he arrived and I explained to him – God says He loves you, He wants to save your Soul and He wants you to Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ.

He said that I will think about it.

For two (2) Years, every two, two Weeks (Fortnight); I went to this Chief Pleading – Give your Life to Jesus Christ but he will say: “I will think about it”.

Then one day, he had a massive Stroke – The kind that when it hits you, you won’t be able to talk.

But before he became unconscious, he told his People: Send for Pastor Adeboye and then he lapsed into unconsciousness.

And they sent for me and I ran there.

When I got and I saw him unconscious; I cried to God: God, Please have Mercy just one more time. Restore him so that I can Present Salvation one more time to him.

And then within a hour, he was Completely Whole.

Not only did he recovered, there was no Sign that he had a Sstroke – The mouth that was already bent to the side was back to normal.

And then I said: Okay Chief, God has given you the Last Chance. You are already gone but He has brought you back – Will you Please give your Life to Jesus Christ now?

He said that: “I will think about it”.

Then I know that there was no Hope for him.

And it wasn’t long after that, that he died.

I have told you all these Stories for those of you in Particular who has not given your Life to Jesus Christ – You have an Opportunity Today, don’t miss it.

Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ because He is at the door knocking and saying: “Open the door for me”.

If you miss the Opportunity Today, you may never have it again because you don’t even know if you will still be alive by this time tomorrow.

Nobody knows – None of us is aware of when we are going to leave this world.

All our Days are Numbered – Young and Old.

You never can tell whether you will be alive by this time tomorrow – Give your Life to Jesus Christ now!

*That is the Biggest Opportunity that you can ever have.

So, if you have not given your Life to Jesus Christ; I’m going to count from one (1) to ten (10).

Wherever you may be listening to me all over the world or reading now on the Label of DMC; before I say ten (10):

☆ If you are in the Church, go to the Altar now.

☆ If you are in the car listening to me by the Radio in your car; Stop the car and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ.

☆ If you are in your Room, just Stand Up as a Sign to the Almighty God that you are Surrendering your Life to Him.

Amd He will save your Soul.

And I’m counting now!

Now, those of you who might be on the way and those infront of the Altar, cry to the Almighty God now and say: Lord, Thank You for giving me another Opportunity for Salvation.

I Surrender my Life to You Today – Please save my Soul, have Mercy on me and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

Go ahead and Pray!

Let the rest of us Stretch our hands to all those who has come forward to Surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

Pray that the One who saved your Soul will save their own Souls also.

Pray that God will have Mercy on them and as they have accepted the Opportunity to be saved; that God will give them Genuine Salvation.

Please Pray for them for one Minute and I will Pray with you.

Thank You Father!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for Your Words and I want to Thank You for all those who has decided to Surrender their lives to You Today.

Father, Please receive them, have Mercy on them and let Your Blood wash away all their sins.

Even as they have Confessed You to be their Lord and Saviour; save their Souls and receive them into the Family of God.

And from now on, whenever they cry unto You; answer them by Fire.

And let them remain forever Your Children.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You once again for Your Words.

And I want to Thank You for all Your Children Today Particularly those of us who might have Lost Opportunities in the Past.

I am Praying that in Your Infinite Mercy, You will restore the Opportunities that we have Lost.

And I Pray that You will never let us miss another Opportunity ever again.

I am asking Lord that Today, those of us who have never had a Major Life-Changing Opportunity, You will give us that Opportunity this very Day.

I Pray that before this Month is over, many of us will have cause to Glorify Your Holy Name because You have given us Mighty Opportunities that we have seize.

And we can see Clearly that from now on, it will be forward ever and backward never.

We can see it that from now on, by the Opportunities You have made available to us, we can only go Higher but will never go Lower.

Thank You because that it is already done.

For in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Now, it will be your turn to cry to the Almighty God and tell Him exactly the kind of Opportunity that you want.

An Opportunity that will give you a Breakthrough so Mighty that for the rest of your Life; you will never Lack, be in Need and you will never go Low but go Higher.

So, you go ahead and cry to the Almighty God!

*The Almighty God will answer your Prayers because I’m Praying for you directly even from Mount Carnel Prayer Village; Ifewara Osun State Nigeria.*

God Bless You – Amen!

I will hear your Testimonies soon in Jesus Mighty Name – Amen!!!
