OPENING PRAYER
King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Ancient of Days, the Unchangeable Changer – We Worship You.
We Thank You for all You have done for us in the first Month of this Year (2024); Thank You for bringing us to the Second Month.
Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Tonight, as we gather before You, we Pray Lord that You Yourself will visit us, that You will dine with us and You will Perform Miracles in our lives,
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: God will bless you this Month!
And you may Please be seated.
Let’s open our Bibles to 1 Kings 19: 4-8:
4. But he himself (That is Elijah) went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an Angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7. And the Angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the Mount of God.
Life is Great at the Top!
When you are at the Top, you have many Advantages.
I. In any State House anywhere in the world, there is never lack of food or water. Light does not go out and if it does, there will be instant Generators that will kick into Action.
II. If you are the President, you don’t need to know the cost of Bread.
Your own is that when it is time to eat, you go to the Table and the food will be there.
III. When you are at the Top, there is no Traffic Jam for you because long before you arrive; the way would have been cleared for you.
IV. If you are the President or Governor, your Drivers don’t queue at Petrol Stations and you don’t even need to know the Price of Petrol.
Your own is that, you are going somewhere, you enter into the car and off you go.
How much Petrol they bought, and how much they Paid for it; you don’t need to know.
V. The water that the People at the Hilltop washed in is what the People in the Valley below will drink!
… Life is Great at the Top!
So, I Pray for everyone of you that in the Name of the Great Promoter; you will reach the Top – Amen!
As a matter of fact, one of the Promise of God in Deuteronomy 28:13 is that the Lord shall make thee the Head and not the Tail. And thou shall be Above Only and thou shall not be beneath.
… That is the Promise of God – Head and not the Tail.
Tail is so useless that God didn’t give Tails to Men.
Head is so important that when they want a Picture of you to put in your Passport; all they want to see is your Head. They don’t want to see any other Place.
Why? Because they can amputate your two (2) hands, two (2) legs and you still be living. But if they cut off your Head, that is the end of the Story.
You can have all manners of Transplant – Kidney Transplant, Liver Transplant and even Heart Transplant and you still live on.
But you will never hear of Head Transplant – Head is the most important Part of your Body.
Once again, I Pray for everyone of you – You shall be the Head and you will never be the Tail; you will be Above Only, you will never be beneath – Amen.
Because Life at the Top is so Wonderful, that is why you see Politicians struggling so hard to become President, Governor, Ministers etc cetera et cetera.
The Struggle for the Top is so intense because they know that once you get there, Life becomes Pleasant.
And so we find in the Bible Text that we read in 1 Kings 19: 4-8; God said to Elijah: I need you at the Top. It is going to be a long Journey, and it is going to take a lot of Energy and a lot of Strength.
So, you need more than “Ordinary Meal” to make it to the Top.
He ate the first time and God said: Thank You, that is good enough. But if you are going to reach the Top, you need an “Extra Meal”.
In the Bible Text read to us, the Bible says that if you are coming to the Holy Communion and you are hungry, eat at home – Take the first Meal at home,
And then come for an Additional Meal because what your Needs cannot be Supplied by the “Ordinary Meal” that you have eaten at home.
My Beloveth Children, God wants you on the Mountain Top and you need a “Special Meal”.
1. To be able to make it there (DMC NOTES: Make it “There” as to the Mountain Top).
2. And so that when you get there (DMC NOTES: Get “There” as to the Mountain Top); to be able to stay there (DMC NOTES: Stay “There” as at the Mountain Top).
That is why we have come to a Meal Prepared by God Himself!
Because the Meal that Elijah ate, that took him all the way to the Mountain Top; even during the Period of forty (40) days and forty (40) Nights of Fasting; was a Meal Prepared by God Himself.
You want to come to the Table tonight because you need Strength for the rest of the Journey and you need Power to be able to reach the Top.
I’m believing God with you that as you Partake of the Holy Communion tonight; the Strength that you need, and the Power that you need to make it to the Top, the Almighty God will release unto you – Amen!
That is why I keep crying to you – The Holy Communion is not an “Ordinary Meal”. It is not the kind of Meal that some Organisations has degraded to be just something you eat casually.
The Passage read to you made it clear: It is a Meal that can help you, if you eat it worthily and it is a Meal that can kill you, if you eat it unworthily.
There are many, many People who has eaten this Meal unworthily and they are dead even though they are still walking about.
Because the Bible says that you must eat this thing worthily – You must discern the Lord’s Body.
I. You cannot be quarrelling with a Fellow Brothers or Sisters and eat the Holy Communion – It is not allowed.
II. You cannot be harbouring Bitterness with anybody and eat the Holy Communion unworthily – It can kill you.
III. You cannot be living in sin and Partake of the Holy Communion – You might be eating Poison.
The Holy Communion is a Meal for True Children of God, who loves the Body of Christ.
… You eat it worthily, it will give you the Strength to continue the Journey to the Top. You eat it unworthily, you can fall sick or you can die – It is not me that says that, it is in the Bible.
So, if you know that you are still living in sin; don’t Partake of the Holy Communion unless of course you are willing to cry to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And ask Him to save your Souls, to Cleanse you in His Blood and make you fit for the Lord’s Body.
If you are a Backslider – You know that you are backsliden, you know that you are back to doing those things that you said that you will never do again; unless you are willing to return to the Lord and ask Him to Please forgive you and take you back into Fellowship with Him, then you should not Partake of the Holy Communion.
ALTAR CALL
So, if anyone is here or listening to us wherever you are or reading now on the Label of DMC; and you are not sure of your Salvation; Please step towards the Altar – Let’s Pray for your Salvation.
Or if you know that you are backsliden, Step towards the Altar and we will Pray for your Restoration.
I’m going to count from one (1) to five (5); if by the time I say five (5) you are not Standing before the Altar, I will know that you are not coming and we will continue with the rest of the Service.
I’m counting now!
Those of you who are already infront and those of you on the way; cry unto the Almighty God and say: Please have Mercy on me, save my Soul, I don’t want to continue in sin – Please save my Soul and give me Genuine Salvation.
The kind of Salvation that will stay away from the Life of sin, give it to me Oh Lord.
And if you are backsliden, cry to Him and say: Please restore me to Fellowship with You – I don’t want to dwell with satan anymore. I just want to do Your Will and I want to live Holy – Have Mercy on me.
Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God!
And the rest of us, let us Stretch our hands towards our New Brothers and Sisters and intercede for them.
Pray that the One who saved your own Soul will save their own Souls also.
Pray that God will have Mercy on them and give them Genuine Salvation.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
My Father and my God, I want to bless Your Holy Name for Your Words.
And I want to Thank You for those People who has decided to Surrender their lives to You today.
I want to Thank You even for those who has backsliden, and who are returning to the folds.
Father, have Mercy on Your Children; let Your Blood wash away their sins, save their Souls Oh Lord, write their names in the Book of Life and don’t let them ever backslide in Jesus Name.
All those who has backsliden but has returned to You Father, this time around, make their stay with You Permanent in Jesus Name.
And from now on, when these Your Children cry to You; answer them by Fire.
Thank You God.
For in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION
Now, when you eat the Bread tonight; your Prayer is that God will give you Strength.
The Bible says in Philippians 4:13 – I can do All Things through Christ who Strengthens me.
… He can give you the Strength to live Holy, Strength even to Fast and Strength to reach the Top.
You just cry to Him as you eat the Bread – Almighty God Strengthen me in the Inner Mind: Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually.
When we serve the Wine, we will tell you how to Pray then.
The Lord Jesus Christ; the very Night in which He was betrayed took the Bread and when He has given Thanks, He broke it saying: Take, Eat; this is my Body broken for you; do this in Remembrance of Me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – Amen!
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Shall we all Please Stand!
When we drink the Wine tonight, you are going to cry to God for Power – Power to reach your Goal, Power to be Above Only and never be beneath.
Please Pray this Prayer with all your Heart!
After the same manner also; He took the Cup when He has sup, saying: This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood, Please do ye as oft as you 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. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
