OPENING PRAYER
Our Father and our God, we want to Bless Your Name.
King of Glory, the I AM THAT I AM. Glory be to Your Name!
Accept our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.
Thank You for Last Year (2024), Thank You for this Year (2025); Thank You for making us Overcomers.
Accept our Thanks, in Jesus’ Name.
This Year (2025), in Your Own Miraculous way, make all of us More than Conquerors.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
God Bless You!
… You can go back to your seats.
I am very glad to see you this Year – You will be Overcomers.
Let Someone shout an Overcomer Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
I am not surprised, because yesterday as we were rounding up the Ministers’ Conference, the Lord asked us to Rejoice: Clap, Shout and Dance before Him – And He has been Proving Himself.
Somebody sent me a Text – He said, yesterday, as we began to sing “There shall be Showers of Blessing”; the Rain began to fall.
*Your Blessings this Year (2025) will be Overwhelming – Amen.*
So I want to encourage you to keep on Rejoicing; keep on Praising God; and keep on giving Him Glory.
*The kind of Miracles you have never experienced before; you will experience now – Amen.*
Welcome in Jesus’ Name (Amen).
As it’s our custom, first thing tomorrow (Tuesday, Day 2) Morning, take yourselves in two’s; cover as much Place as you can on this Campground – Praying to God, beginning from 6:00am.
Calling on the Almighty God to rain Special Anointing on this Campground; and that everybody who touches this Ground would receive a Miracle.
*Tonight is for Workers and House Fellowship Leaders, because you are very, very Special.*
*You are the real Workforce of the Mission, and God will Bless you – Amen.*
*The Theme is, “The Overcomers.”*
The Bible Passage behind that is 1 John 4:4:
Ye are of God, little children, and have Overcome them: because Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
*We belong to God, even though we are little children, yet we are Overcomers.*
The reason is that the One in us is Greater than the one that is in the world – 1 John 4:4.
*From this Bible Passage, you can see some things;*
1. Victory is determined by the One who is dwelling in you.
2. Victory is linked to Divine Habitation.
3. It is linked to Divine Accommodation – The One dwelling in you.
*The One dwelling in you gives Victory and Divine Presence.
*THE IMPORTANCE OF HOUSE FELLOWSHIP.*
*More than ever before, you need to see the importance of House Fellowship – See it as God is dwelling in your House;
1. *There will be Victory.*
In Mark 2:1-12, the Bible tells us that Jesus was in a house Preaching, and there was a man Paralyzed from neck down; his friends brought him to the house.
They were sure that if they can get to the house where Jesus was, their friend will get his Breakthrough.
They got there with their friend, but the crowd was much!
So there was no room through the door, and no room through the window; they had to pass through the roof to lower the Man at the feet of Jesus.
… They carried the man in, he walked out by himself.
*In the Name that’s above every other name, you will not go back home the way you came – Amen.*
In Matthew 8:14-17, the Bible tells us that when Jesus entered the house of Peter, the first thing He did was that He healed the mother-in-law.
Others heard that Jesus was in the house of Peter, and they began to come.
As long as Jesus was in the house, every one got a Miracle.
He spent just one (1) Night in that house; and it became a Miracle Center.
*Miracle is linked to Divine Accommodation:*
2. *You will become well Known:*
In 2 Samuel 6:9-12 – You know the Story.
The Ark of the Covenant, representing the Presence of God was in the House of Obed Edom for three (3) Months.
Within those three (3) Months, Miracles occured in that house on a daily basis.
And Obed Edom became well known all over the Nation.
And the Lord blessed him.
*All of you who have House Fellowships in your Homes, the world will hear about you – Amen.*
3. *You cannot be killed:*
In 1 Kings 17:8-24, Elijah representing God, was in the house of the Widow of Zarephath for more than two (2) years;
– While the entire world was suffering, there was no lack in the house.
– Even death came into the house and it was chased out.
– For as long as God was being represented in the house, it was Victory all the way.
4. *You’ll get what Money cannot buy.*
You will Probably understand why the Great Woman of Shunem in 2 Kings 4:8-17 did not just entertain Elisha – She decided, “I better build him a house here and give an Apartment.”
The result: she got what money cannot buy!
*I want to encourage those of us who are here or reading now on the Label of DMC, who are House Fellowship Leaders: Congratulations! because God will Reward you – Amen.*
*He will Reward you with what money cannot buy – Amen.*
But there is something far, far Superior to being just a House Fellowship Leader:
*And that is for the House Fellowship itself to be located in your House.*
*Because where God is located, there will be Victory!*
Psalm 91:1 says, He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.
*Invite God into your Home – Let Him dwell there Permanently; and He will cover you in His Shadow.*
In Psalm 23:6, David said, Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me (for how long?) – All the days of my Life: And (what will I do?) I will dwell in the House of the Lord Forever!
*Well you can see the Link: If God and I are dwelling together on a Permanent basis; surely, Goodness and Mercy shall follow me.*
I will tell you two (2) Stories – True Life Stories: One here in Nigeria, and another one in America:
Some years ago there was an Oil Leakage somewhere in Lagos (Nigeria) that led to a Fire Outbreak. It consumed all the houses in that Section, except one.
All the houses around got burnt, but one house stood. When they checked, they saw a Notice in front of the house:
*”The House Fellowship of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) meets Here.”
*… Fire saw the Notice and fell.*
The second Story is similar to the first one;
There was this Hurricane somewhere coming to America – My children cried to me: “Sir, the Hurricane is coming directly our way, and your children are many here.”
So I Prayed, and my God intervened. He turned the Hurricane upwards and backwards.
It left the Nation, but it has come so close that it brought too much Rain to the coast. And there were floods in the Town closest to the Sea.
A couple of years later, I visited my friend that I have known for a long time – They were sharing this Testimony; that the flood was so much that every house was flooded beyond Window level.
There were fifteen (15) houses on that Street – Houses number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen were flooded.
*But house number eight was untouched. The only thing Peculiar about that house is: “The House Fellowship of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) meets Here.”*
I know that somebody will say, “ordinary coincidence.” I agree!
*My Prayer is, God, that kind of Good Coincidence, let it happen to me – Amen!*
Thank you for what you are already doing – God is Watching!
Someone said: What is wrong with these People attending the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)?
Today, their stupid father would ask them to Fast for a hundred (100) days; Tomorrow, Fast for fifty (50) days; next time, Fast for forty (40) days.
What is wrong with these stupid People? Why don’t they get out of the Church?”
– They don’t know that there is a Cover over us.
– They don’t know that we are a Covenant Church.
*They think we were Stupid; but there are Blessings in our Stupidity.*
Let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
*SPECIAL PRAYER*
I want you to Pray a very Special Prayer Tonight:
*Father, abide with me. Never leave me alone, and I will continue to serve You.*
– I will be a Good Worker.
– I will be a Good House Fellowship Leader.
– I will open my House for You to use.
Just abide with me, so that I can be More Than a Conqueror.
Abide with me Lord; never leave me alone, and I will serve You in every area of my Life.

Thank You for bringing me to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – I will abide where You asked me to abide.
Let Goodness and Mercy follow me all the days of my Life – And I will dwell with You Lord..
Abide with me all the days of my Life, and I will serve You like never before.
Thank You Lord!
Just abide with me, and I will obey You and I will do whatever You ask me to do;
I will serve You as a Good Worker.
I will serve You as a Good House Fellowship Leader.
I will open my house for You to use; so that You can dwell in my House all the days of my Life.
– Please, don’t leave my House.
– Please, don’t leave my Heart.
– Please, don’t leave my family.

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