OPENING PRAYER

Father, we just want to Worship You. We Bless Your Name; that Wonderful Name – The Name of Jesus.

We Thank You our Saviour, our Healer, our Deliverer, our Provider, our Defender. Our King of kings, our Lord of lords. Our Friend, our Husband, our Soon Coming King. Glory be to Your Holy Name!

Thank You for what You did on Monday (Day 1), Thank You for what You did on Tuesday (Day 2), Thank You for what You did on Wednesday (Day 3), Thank You for what You did on Thursday (Day 4). Thank You for what You did yesterday – Friday (Day 5). And Father, Thank You for what You will do tonight – Saturday (Day 6). Accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name!

Tonight, my Father and my God, in the lives of every one of Your children, do something Special.

At the end of it all, let Your Name be Glorified.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, let someone shout hallelujah + Hallelujah!

I want you to Prophesy again to two (2) or three (3) People and tell them – Neighbour I love you; but I am the one getting the Best tonight – Amen.

And then you may Please, be seated.

You know there are Testimonies, and there are Testimonies!

I heard a Testimony tonight and I almost jumped up and shout. But I had to remind myself; “everybody is looking up to you ooo. You are the Daddy, so you must behave like Daddy”.

A Boat exploded, and hands were flying, legs were flying. And a man (alone) came out without a scratch because he is Anointed.

Ha! Let me hear somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

God is going to Anoint someone tonight inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC for Miracles – Amen!

It’s good to belong to a Good Company – Thank God for the Power of the Anointing.

BIRTH REPORT:

More Good News! Today, Eighteen (18) more Children have been added to us; and the Girls are determined! Seven (7) Boys and eleven (11) Girls.

And so as of tonight, we have Eighty four (84) Babies: Thirty eight (38) Boys and forty six (46) Girls.

Well, let the Girls shout Praise the Lord! And let the Boys shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.

… Don’t worry Boys; we still have from tonight till tomorrow morning. Miracles can happen.

Glory be to God – Hallelujah!

Do you know that Music is deeply connected to anything Spiritual? – Wrong Music invites Demons; Good Music invites Angels.

One of my children phoned me this afternoon, he said, “I want to hear your voice, I want to be sure you are alive.”

I am alive! No! God didn’t kill me overnight. By the Grace of God, the One Who knows all things knows I rely on Him alone.

And since you Prayed last Night, that if he is not of God, kill him. But if he is of You, Multiply his Power Sevenfold: get ready for Miracles – Amen.

Alright!

1 Corinthians 11: 26-30

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

I have told you before (and it’s something I’m sure you know) that the Quality of a Meal depends on the Ingredients of the Meal. And it depends therefore on the Wealth of the one Providing the Meal.

Because it is how rich a man is that would determine the Ingredients he can buy!

And then it depends on the Cook – Because the Ingredients might be Good; but the Cook might be bad.

When you are talking about the Meal Provided by God, then you know definitely: the One Providing the Meal is the One Who says in Haggai 2:8, Silver is Mine, gold is Mine.

He is the One who said in Psalms 50:10-12, all the Beasts of the field are Mine; the cattle upon a thousand hills, birds, everything, I own them all.

So if He needs something to cook with, He can just pick anyone.

When it comes to the ability of the Cook, the One Who is Providing the Meal tonight is the One Who has the ability to Change Stones to Bread – The devil knew He could do it!

He is the One Who can take a look at Ordinary water and Change it to the Best Wine!

That’s the Cook we are talking about – You can’t beat Him!

He is the Richest and He is the Best.

Now, What are your Expectations when you Eat and Drink?

1. You want your hunger satisfied; You want your thirst satisfied. And many atimes you eat for Strength.

I mean, in Acts 9:17-19, the Bible tells us that after God opened the eyes of Saul of Tarsus, He gave him food to eat, and he received Strength.

In 1 Kings 19:4-8, God fed Elijah twice and the Bible said he gained so much Strength from two (2) Meals that he was able to travel forty (40) days and forty (40) nights without eating again.

Let me assure you of one thing – The Strength that you need for the rest of your Journey in Life, God will give you tonight – Amen.

Now, when you go to eat, Particularly in a Doctor’s house, you might expect, in addition to satisfying your hungry, your thirst, Strength for your body; you might even expect Healing.

I mean, you are the Guest of a Doctor – After eating and drinking, while you are discussing, he might Prescribe something for your Healing.

But the One Who is Providing the Meal tonight is also called, the Doctor or all doctors.

Exodus 15:26 says, I am the Lord that healeth thee.

So when you come to the Lord’s Table, you get Healing, you get Strength, you get Satisfaction. But then you get something Extra:

2. And that is that you are reminded that you are Specially Loved.

Because John 3:16 says clearly, For God so loved the world, that he gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not Perish, but have Everlasting Life.

And then Jesus Christ said in John 15:13, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his Life for his friends.

He gave His Life, so that you can come to the Dinning Table of the Almighty God, and He can say: “Take, eat, this is my Body broken for you”.

His Body is broken for you because He loves you. And He can say: “Take, drink, this is my Blood shed for you”.

We come to the Holy Communion Service to be reminded that we are loved Specially.

But then He says, every time you eat and drink, do this on Remembrance of me.

We remembered His Sacrifice, but we also remembered His Promise.

He made a Promise to His Disciples before He left, in John 14:1-3. He said, In my Father’s house are many Mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to Prepare a Place for you. And if I go and Prepare a Place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

The Holy Communion is a very Peculiar Meal; it reminds you that you are loved:

I. That Somebody loves you so much, He died for you. He allowed Himself to be beaten, so that He can say, “by His Stripes, you are Healed.”

II. He allowed His Blood to be shed, so that you can then come, drink the Wine and say, “this is the Blood that He shed for you.”

3. And to remind you that He is coming back for you.

Several years ago, when we just set out as General Overseer (my wife and I) and things were tough – Physically tough, Materially tough, Spiritually tough. Because many of the People who were supposed to be helping were almost openly Praying that we would fail.

Something kept us going when we considered all things – We were comforted by one thing: “One day the Lord will Return, and all these Problems will be over!”

You know, I know without any doubt, there is Someone here inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC; it doesn’t matter what you are going through; one day, the Lord will Return – Amen.

… And I Pray you will go with Him – Amen.

The Holy Communion Meal is so important, so Powerful, that the Bible says, don’t take it Unworthily – It is a very Precious Meal as it costs Jesus Christ His Life.

He warns that it could kill!

If you eat this Bread unworthily, drink this Blood unworthily, He said you could die.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10: 21-22 – Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be Partakers of the Lord’s Table, and of the table of devils.

Do we Provoke the Lord to Jealousy? are we Stronger than he?

You cannot be drinking the cup of the Lord and the cup of the devil at the same time. You cannot be dinning with Jesus and at the same time dinning with the devil.

He says if you do that, you are Challenging God.

And then He asked a Question: “Are you Stronger than God?”

So, if you are going to Partake of the Holy Communion, you must make up your Mind – Publicly or Privately, you will have no Communion with Forces of Darkness – No way!

One Traditional Ruler in Ekiti State (Nigeria) years ago, a Child of God; became King. And then the Leaders of the various Secret Societies came to him and said: you know you are King over the whole Town? He said, Yes! They said, we need to let you know that you must be Part and Parcel of all of us.

And he said to them, what exactly are you saying?

You have to join us, attend our Meetings – Don’t worry, we meet at Night.

He said to them, “you mean I will be King during the Day, and one of you would be King during the Night?” Well, if you put it that way!

He said to them: The God who made me King is King during the Day and He is King at Night! And since I am representing Him, “I would be King during the Day, and I would be King during the Night.”

You say you are a Christian, but you say because of your Place of work or your Position in the Society, or your involvement in Politics; you have to drink certain cup in Secret; and then come and drink the Cup of the Lord – You are asking for very serious trouble!

The Bible says, if you drink this Cup Unworthily, it can kill you!

And then one young man came to me and said Sir, I have been taking this Holy Communion all these days unworthily as you call it; and I am still alive!

So I was inspired to tell him, that there is something worse than Death.

And I told him a Story of once I went to Kirikiri Maximum Prison (as a Preacher of course). And after the Service we gave some Inmates Group of Counselling.

And one man came to me and said Sir, I was Sentenced to Death thirty-three (33) years ago and I am still here. He said, whenever they want to execute somebody, they do it at Night; between 2am and 3am.

So he said, “when we hear footsteps at Night, we know they have come for somebody: by tomorrow we won’t see that fellow.”

He said, “for thirty-three (33) years, I have been waiting for footsteps!” He said Sir, I have never been able to sleep until it’s almost 4am; because by then I know, they are not coming for me today. He said Please Pastor, use your influence, tell them to kill me, so I can go!

I said, Ha! Why don’t you say, “Please, tell them to release me?”

He said, release me for what? Thirty-three (33) years? He said, I won’t even be able to know the way to my Town anymore!

Things have Changed in thirty-three (33) years – All my friends, they won’t even recognise me. “Use your influence, tell them to kill me.”

There’s something worse than Death!

And in the Name that’s above every other name, that thing which is worse than Death will stay away from you – Amen.

Don’t eat the Holy Communion Unworthily:

– If you are still sharing the cup of the devil, don’t share the Cup of the Lord.

– If you are not a Child of God, don’t Partake of the Holy Communion.

– If you have Someone who has offended you so badly, that you said you will never forgive; don’t eat the Holy Communion.

It has the Power to Heal, the Power to Strengthen, the Power to Deliver. It has the Power to do all manners of Miracles. But it also has the Power to kill.

So, I want you to be ready to come to the Table tonight after you’ve made up your Mind that from now on, you will never again have anything to do with the devil.

ALTAR CALL

And so if you are here tonight inclusive those of you reading now on the Label of DMC and you are not yet a Child of God and you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; He is here! His Blood would wash away your sins, and would give you opportunity to become a Child of God.

If you are a Backslider, you can return to Him now and He will restore you.

If there is somebody who has offended you, you must forgive now!

You don’t want to eat a Meal that will either kill you or give you something that is worse than Death – You don’t want to eat that kind of Meal Unworthily.

So if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, come forward now! The Holy Communion can give you things far Beyond your Expectations. But you must eat it Worthily.

Okay! Cry to Jesus Christ, tell Him Please, give Genuine Salvation. Destroy every Link between me and the devil. From now on I want to live for You and for You alone. Save my Soul and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

Let the rest of us Stretch our hands towards these People and Pray for them – That God will give them Genuine Salvation tonight. So that they will be True Children of the Living God.

Let’s Pray for them!

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

 

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

My Father and my God, I want to Thank for Your Word; and I want to Thank You for these People who have responded to the Altar Call.

Father Please, receive them, have Mercy on them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the Book of Life and let them become True Children of the Living God.

And from now on, anytime they cry unto You, Please answer them by Fire!

And give them the Grace to serve You for ever and ever.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Now I want to Rejoice with all of you who have Genuinely Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ.

I want to assure you, by the Grace of God that from now on, I’ll be Praying for you.

So I will need your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.

God Bless You!

HOLY COMMUNION SERVICE

… Now, we are about to go into the Holy Communion Proper!

Tonight, when you take the Bread, your Prayer would be:

Father; let my body become like Your Body. So that I don’t ever know Sickness again.

Let my body become like Your Body, that anyone I touch would even Receive Healing.

Do you know somebody Pointed out the fact that none of the Apostles was sick – As long as they had Jesus Christ with them.

If they had been sick, the Bible would have told us. The Bible told us when the Mother-In-Law of Peter was sick.

They killed almost everyone of them; and the one that they couldn’t kill (John Beloved) died of Old Age, without Sickness.

So, when you eat the Bread tonight, your Prayer would be: Let my body become like Your Own, Jesus.

… And when it is time to drink the Wine I will tell you how Pray!

Now, while I was Preparing for this Service, as I was Praying – Overwhelmed by the fact that Someone really loves me, God gave me a little Song that the Choir will be singing as they are serving the Elements.

SPECIAL HOLY COMMUNION HYMN

1. Somebody loves me,
Somebody loves me,
Jesus Christ loves my Soul ooo;
While I am Dining,
Dining with Jesus,
Jesus Christ loves my Soul.

2. Someone is Coming,
Jesus is Coming
Coming soon for my Soul ooo;
While I am Dining,
Dining with Jesus,
Jesus’ Coming for me.

3. Heaven awaits me,
Jesus awaits me,
Jesus awaits my Soul ooo;
While I am Dinning,
Dining with Jesus,
Heaven awaits my Soul.

4. Sing Hallelujah,
Shout Hallelujah,
Sing loud above my Soul ooo;
While I am Dinning,
Dining with Jesus,
Shout loud Hallelujah!

5. Hallelujah – Father!
Hallelujah – Jesus!
Hallelujah – Holy Ghost ooo;
Sing Hallelujah
Shout Hallelujah
Shout Great Hallelujah!

ADMINISTERING THE HOLY COMMUNION:

As we Eat, Pray that your body would become like that of Jesus Christ – Healthy, Strong, Overflowing with Healing Virtues; so that anybody who comes in Contact with you would receive Healing.

“The Lord Jesus Christ, the very Night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given Thanks, He broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is My Body, which is broken for you: this do in Remembrance of me.”

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.

I am sure you know the reason why we wait to eat and drink together? Because it is written in the Bible that we must wait. He said that if you want to eat before the others, then you better eat at home. The eating must be done together, the drinking must be done together, for everything to have the same Power and effect.

Thank You Jesus!

As we Drink the Wine tonight, your Prayer to God will be that: He will fill you to Overflowing with His Life. So that for the rest of your Life, you will be Healthy, Strong and Powerful.

“After the same manner also He took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My Blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in Remembrance of me.”

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen.

Thank You Father, Thank You Lord. Glory be to your Holy Name.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

And so shall it be, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

ANOINTING SERVICE

In Psalms 23:5, David said: Thou Preparest a Table before me in the Presence of mine Enemies: thou anointest my head with Oil; my cup runneth over.

The Overflowing comes with the Anointing – The Beyond Expectations comes with the Anointing.

That’s why tonight, we’ll move Straight now to Anointing you with Oil.

As you get Anointed tonight, your Prayer to God will be: As You Sealed that Your Son with the Anointing, so that Death could not take him, that Explosion could not touch him, that River could not drown him.

As I receive the Anointing tonight, seal me for Miracles; so that whatever even Death may be expecting concerning me, Death would fail.

… Thank You very much Choir! You will continue to sing as we Proceed with the Anointing.

God Bless You!

ANOINTING SESSION….

Alright! Let’s Stand on our feet!

You are going to Pray now as if your Life depends on it – So Pray this Prayer with all your Heart.

Before the Day of Pentecost, the Apostles were hiding from the Enemies.
