FROM TODAY ONWARD, YOU WILL NEVER SUFFER ANOTHER DEFEAT!

GOD CAN BLESS YOU TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT YOU’LL SAY TO GOD, “GOD, IS THIS NOT BECOMING TOO MUCH?

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, YOU MUST WIN SOULS EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE.
DON’T LET LAZINESS ROB YOU OF YOUR BLESSING.

Pastor E.A. Adeboye at RCCG May 2022 Holy Ghost Service || Day Two

Hallelujah!
Thank You Father.
Let’s lift our hands to the Most High God and begin to bless His Holy name. Give Him glory, give Him honour, give Him adoration, bless His name. He’s worthy to be praised, He’s worthy to be magnified; praise His name. Lift Him high, magnify the name of the Lord, praise Him. Praise the Ancient of days, magnify Him.

Thank You Father, blessed be Your Holy name. Thank You Lord.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER:

• Father, when You are opening doors tonight, please don’t forget me.

🎶🎶We give You all the glory, we give You honour (3x)🎶🎶

Father, we give You all the glory, we give You all the honour, we give You all the adoration. Thank You for January, thank You for February, thank You for March, thank You for April and Lord, thank You for May; may Your name forever be glorified. Tonight, my Father and my God, as You begin to open doors, don’t leave us behind, don’t pass us by. In Your own miraculous way, Father reach out to us. At the end of everything tonight, let Your name be glorified, in Jesus Mighty name we have prayed.

Father, I commit to Your hands Your children born in the month of May, the fifth month of the year, the month of grace; every one of them, Father, be gracious unto them, show them favour. Let them find favour with You, let them find favour with men. Everywhere they go, let Your favour follow them. Give them a new beginning; a new beginning of joy, success, progress, fresh anointing and let them serve You till the end, in Jesus Mighty name we have prayed.

In June by the grace of God, the Holy Ghost Night of June, the theme is going to be: ‘JESUS’. It is amazing how God have been giving us one theme after the other; ‘The Siege is Over’, ‘Fresh Air’ etc and now, here comes the big one: ‘JESUS’. I rejoice when He gave me the theme because that means something mighty is about to happen. Glory to God!

Tonight, I’ll be brief because we have another meeting after the program and I’ll just be giving you the outline and I want to thank God for the man of God who spoke before me; that was an excellent word. Church Gist. He practically gave you a Bible College, just for the topic, ‘Open Doors.’ That was great and then, there are some things I need to share with you briefly before I go to the sermon itself.

You know, if you look to your right and look to your left, you’ll see quite a few people and if I ask everybody to shout Hallelujah for example and you are the only one who decided you are not going to shout, who is going to notice that you didn’t shout? So, what I’m about to say therefore is for your own good. Many of us now, under the excuse of coro have become lazy; we just want to sit down at home and watch the program. Watching the program at home is fine, you’ve heard testimonies of miracles happening in bedrooms and so on and so forth, but my concern is this; there are occasions when God will speak and say, “There’s someone here…” and by here, He means, Redemption Camp. I can’t be stopping and explaining to you to say, “oh, this one is for those who are on Redemption Camp.” As soon as He tells me, I announce it.

If there’s a time that God wants to attend to your case and He says “there’s someone here,” He’s the Almighty, He’s sovereign, if He says there’s someone here and He knows for example that you are in New Guinea, He knows you can’t make it, come in. But if He knows that you are within traveling distance of this place and it is your laziness that has kept you at home, God have mercy. If you refuse to come for example tonight, who is going to notice that you are absent? Church Gist. So, I’m not saying this because there’s no crowd or whatever. Everywhere you look, you see people; there’s the Old Auditorium over there that is now an overflow, the place is full. If the overflow is full and this is the main Auditorium here and you are absent, who is going to be the loser if God says there’s someone here and by here, He means Redemption Camp? And you sit down at home drinking tea and door opens and before you know what’s happening, it closes.

Wake up my brother, sister, sons and daughters. One night in a month should not be too much sacrifice for you to make for your God. When we come like this, each time God gives us a theme, it is because He wants to do something special in the life of someone. Among the testimonies we heard tonight, there’s a testimony of somebody who said, she had done the same examination five times and failed five times. What she probably didn’t tell you is that, the sixth time is the last opportunity, so very specialized examination and then, it could be because of her alone that God brought out the theme, ‘The Siege is Over’ and the one who failed five times did the same exam now and got the best of result.

• I decree to someone here tonight, your siege is over!

Don’t let laziness rob you of your blessing. That’s the point I’m making. Take note of that. There’s another testimony that can’t be shared openly because it involves someone in a very sensitive position, that his fate was already sealed. He has been in the service for 25 years and they were about to end everything and the Almighty God spoke. He was right on the spot to receive. Church Gist. I beg you; we don’t come to the Holy Ghost Service to joke; it is not for fun. We come here to meet with God. Anybody with a little bit of what they call regular sense can say, “Wait a minute, there must be something special about this thing called “The Holy Ghost Service.” It started in 1986, still going strong. It is because God is here, come and meet Him. That is point number one.

• 

2). There’s no need giving an offering to God that God is not going to accept. I don’t want you to waste your money; I’m not interested in naira and kobo. I’m interested in your well-being; I want it to be well with you and it will be well with you in Jesus’ name. They announced that it was time for us to give our offering and everything was quiet. God is not a beggar; He says clearly in His Word, God loves a cheerful giver. If you can’t rejoice, you can’t jump up and shout and clap when they say it is offering time, keep your money in your pocket. Use it to buy food or whatever because if we don’t give cheerfully, there’s going to be any result.

So from now on, whenever they say, it is offering time and you are not ready to rejoice, keep your money. If from now on, when they say it is time for offering, you are going to be rejoicing, let me hear you shout hallelujah!

3). The reason God did not take you away to Heaven the moment you got born again, because once you got born again, the way to Heaven is open, you can go. The reason He left you behind for some time is so that, you can win souls. He said, “you have not chosen me but I have chosen you, that you may go and bring forth fruits and that your fruits should abide.” Church Gist. So, if you have been born again and you are not winning souls, you will be surprised that when you die, you will knock at the door of Heaven and the door will not be opened and if they don’t open the door of Heaven, there’s another place where they don’t close the door, that’s hell. The door of hell is never closed, so you don’t have to knock to go there.

• In the name that is above every other name, none of you will go to hell!

Wake up!
Every blessed day, you must witness; you must try to win souls. He didn’t say you are going to be the Redeemer. All He’s asking you to do is to tell them about Jesus, that’s all. Tell them Jesus saves, Jesus loves you. Nobody can slap you if you say, God loves you. Nobody will get angry if you say, “I know somebody who can heal you, I know somebody who can solve your problems.” They don’t fight for that, so why are you for any reason holding back?

I thank God for my brother who came all the way from Germany to remind us again, he’s been coming for ten years. You must win souls on a daily basis. Not in May alone, every day of the rest of your life. Something happened, true story; a friend of mine, a traditional ruler, first class, called me and said; “E. A (because we were very close),” I said, “Kabiyesi.” He said, “I think I’m getting ready to go home, so I need to let you know.” He wasn’t young, so he must have been, at least over 80 years old, which means, he’s old. Because if you are older than I, you are old. Church Gist. He said, “What else am I waiting for? I have lived a good life, I’m now a child of God, so, I want to rest.” I told him, “Kabiyesi, you are not going anywhere. Because, if you go like this, God will throw you to hell.” He was shocked. He said, what do you mean?
I said, “since you got born again, how many Kabiyesi got born again through you? You are supposed to bear fruits after your own kind.” I told him, there are doors that can open only to you because of your position, that won’t even open to me as a pastor. He said, is that so? I said, you aren’t going anywhere because the One who said in my Father’s house, there are many mansions, when you die, He will say, “this place is for only those who did my will. You’ve never won a soul. You are not coming in.” He said, okay, what am I going to do?
Response: Simple, just tell people of your class; tell them about Jesus Christ.

He jumped and got into action. The following month, he begged me to follow him to one of the highest traditional rulers in the land. They won’t open the door to somebody like me, I’m talking of several years ago, but the door was opened to him. Church Gist. We got there; the other traditional ruler had prepared a feast. But he told him, we have not come to eat. We want to tell you about somebody who can take you to Heaven. That day, he won his first soul and he went home rejoicing like nobody’s business.
You must win souls. How many of you want to go to Heaven? I’ll see you there in Jesus’ name.

Revelation 3:7-8
I’ll give you the outline of my message, I’ll cover as much of it as the Holy Spirit will allow me and then, the Holy Spirit will teach you the reminder. Number one, I’ll give you my own definition of a door. The man who spoke before me had given you a lot of definitions, but I have my own little definition that a market woman can understand straight away. Church Gist. Then, I’ll talk to you about when the Person with the key of David comes in, what happens? Then, I’ll talk to you very briefly about the fact that, the door can remain permanently open. Then I’ll talk to you that, it is possible for the door to open for one and shut against another. I’ll also talk to you that, it is possible for doors to open at one time and then, shut later. That will be the outline briefly. So, if I didn’t even cover everything, at least, you’ve already learned something.

What is a door in the language of little ones like me?
The door is the link between the inside and the outside of a building, that’s a door. When the door is shut, it implies therefore that, those who are in are in and those who are out, are out. For example, Matthew 25:1-13, ten virgins went to meet the Lord Jesus Christ or they went to meet the Bridegroom because the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. Church Gist. By the time the noise was made that the Bridegroom was approaching, they woke up; they trimmed their lamps and then, they found out that the light was going out. Those who had extra oil refilled and their light kept on burning. Those who didn’t have extra oil, went out to buy. Before they came back, the Bridegroom came, entered with the five wise virgins and the door was shut.

When those five virgins who went to buy oil came and they knocked at the door, He said, those who are mine are already in. As for you, you are out.

• In the name that is above every other name, Jesus will not shut the door against you!

When the door opens, it means those who are outside can come in and those who are inside can go out. But since we usually shut the door, particularly at night, shut doors can mean that there’s danger out there. Closed doors are meant to keep danger out. Church Gist. At night when we want to sleep, we shut the door, telling those who walk about at night, “you can’t come in, I want to sleep in peace.” So, an open door can mean that there is no more danger out there. An open door is another way of saying the siege is over.

• 

• For someone tonight, God is going to open doors because the enemies outside are already taken care of!

When you shut the door, a shut door can also mean that you are keeping bad people out. But at times, you might be keeping good people out also, if they did not arrive to enter in time. By the time you shut the door, there might be somebody good outside there that have been shut out and if that good person knows you and you know him and he comes to your door and he knocks, what is the first thing you ask?
Who is that knocking? And if he now says, “I am your friend, so and so.” What do you do?
You open the door to him, to come in (Psalm 24:7-10).

• Tonight, the King of glory is about to enter in the life of someone!

He is the King of glory, He’s the Lord of host (Philippians 2:9-11). When He comes in, He brings glory in. As we have learnt again and again, glory is the opposite of shame. When door opens and the king of glory comes in, glory comes in and everything that is not glorious must automatically go out. Church Gist. For example, Genesis 1:1-3, when darkness covered the face of the earth, how do we get rid of darkness? We open the door to the One who is called the Light; let there be light and there was light.

In John 9:1-7, there was a man who was born blind. He had an encounter with the King of glory. Later on, he was able to give the testimony; “whereas I was blind, now I see.”

• Tonight in the name that is above every other name, light will come in and everything that is associated with darkness will leave your life!

When the king of glory comes in, success comes in; failure goes out (Luke 5:1-7). When Jesus came into the boat of Peter, Peter who had fished all night and caught nothing, suddenly he caught so much fish; he needed help to carry the fish. I’ll appeal to you to buy the tape of divine encounter of last Monday, because at that time, I spoke of what happens when God opens the door of blessing to you; you will be amazed of all that God can do in one day. Philippians 4:13

• As God opens the door for you, you will never fail again!

When Jesus comes in, victory comes in; defeat goes out (John 5:2-9). There are people who are always at the point of success, but they never succeeded because somebody keeps on beating them.

• From tonight onward, you will never suffer another defeat!

When the King of glory comes in, prosperity comes in and poverty goes out (2 Samuel 6:6-12). Obed-Edom was a nobody and he was just sitting down in his house, when one day, the door of his house opened. Something had happened that made David afraid of God and he said, the Ark of the covenant can’t go with me. Church Gist. I don’t know it’s such a powerful thing that it can bring death. Let’s this poor fellow, let’s take the Ark to his house, if he can die; let him die. But as soon as the King of glory entered to the house of Obed-Edom, the Bible says, within three months, he prospered so mightily that the whole nation heard and they reported the situation to David. David said, is that so? I’ll go and get the Ark from his house, but it was too late. He got the Ark out, but he could not take the prosperity of Obed-Edom away.

• The blessing that God is going to give you tonight, nobody will be able to take it away from you!

Philippians 4:19

• The Lord asked me to tell someone who have been struggling with hearing voices, Daddy said, “I will shut the door against those voices.”
• God said there’s someone here, you find it difficult to remember things; I’ll open the door of your understanding!

When the king of glory comes in, rapid promotion comes in; stagnation goes out. There are promotions and there are promotions; God can promote rapidly if He comes in and when God decides to promote you, nobody can hold you down (1 Samuel 16:1-13). The moment the King of glory said, go and bring David, by the time David arrived, he was promoted above his own father. Church Gist. From my own part of the Country, when they want to make somebody a king and it is the turn of a particular house and they say, “We can’t make this man our king. He’s not educated.” I’ve seen Papa who will say, “Okay, I am not educated but my son is; take my son.” And so, they make the son king. Do you know his father must prostrate? The moment the boy becomes king; he becomes superior, even to his father.

• All those who have been trying to hold you down, you will soon become superior to them!

Stagnation goes out the moment the King of glory comes in. Why? – Psalm 75:5-7. When the King of glory comes in, He’s the promoter; promotion comes with Him, stagnation must get out. When the king of glory comes in and when joy comes in, sorrow goes out (Luke 7:11-15). I sat down there listening to the testimony of that mama, the child didn’t cry at childbirth. They went to another hospital, they got to the hospital, they said there’s no space; go to another hospital. Church Gist. Then they ran into terrible go-slow. The devil is a terrible devil. You know many at times when you listen to these testimonies, you need to put yourself into the same position. I could imagine what the woman must be feeling, particularly when all of a sudden, the child went numbed. But then, I could imagine what happened when after laying the handkerchief on the child, all of a sudden, the child coughed again and came back to life. I can imagine the joy, that is the kind of joy that is difficult to put into words.

• In the name that is above every other name, sorrow will leave your home!

• 

Why does sorrow leaves when the King of glory comes in?
Psalm 16:11. When God opens the door for you today and the King of glory comes in, anything that is not allowing your joy to be full will get out!

When the King of glory comes in, despair goes out because hope comes in (Colossians 1:27). Once the King of glory comes in, the only thing you can be hoping for now will be glory (John 11:39-44). When Jesus got to the tomb of Lazarus and He said, take away the stone, open the door; let the King of glory come in. Church Gist. The sister said it is too late. But the King of glory was there. Forget despair when the King of glory comes in.

• Every good thing in your life that you lost, that the enemy said you can never get back; in the name that is above every other name, before this time on Monday, you will get them back!

I don’t have time to tell you stories tonight because I’m in a hurry. But something happened last two weeks; I was doing some recordings with some of my children and when we finished, day one and day two, as I was going; I looked at my children and said, “We’ll continue tomorrow.” They thought it was just a statement. The following day, one of my children had a testimony, I was thinking he would be around to share today. He left and as he was driving away, suddenly the car began to somersault; it somersaulted several times and landed on his back and he thought, what’s going on? But somehow, he came out, looked at the car and said, you mean I came out of that?

When we met the following day, he said; “One thing that kept me going, Daddy said, ‘we shall meet tomorrow'”.

• Before this time on Monday, everything you have lost, everything that the enemy have said you can never have again, will return to you!
• The Lord asked me to tell someone; “I will open the door to the eyes of your future partner. So, he can locate you.”

Some of you will remember the story of a woman, very wealthy woman, suddenly found out that whenever she ate anything, she would vomit. It started as a joke but she kept on vomiting, when you see her, you won’t remember that she was the original fellow. Then, she came to the Church at Ebute Meta and it was even her first visit and as usual, when I was about to preach, all I said was; “Let somebody shout hallelujah” and they shouted and as she shouted, she vomited a worm. Church Gist. The worm that has been causing the problem; the demonic worm came out of her. Will you like to be like a child tonight? The Lord asked me to tell you that your next shout of hallelujah is going to drive out anything that is not of God in you.

• 

When the King of glory comes in, help comes in and helplessness goes out (Psalm 46:1). If help comes in, helplessness must go out (Mark 2:1-12).

• The door is going to open to somebody today and help will come to you!

I don’t want to tell you stories tonight but, I can’t resist this, it is a story you’ve heard before, but I know it’s going to have special meaning for someone. One first year on this ground, we were building and bulldozing out there. I just made up my mind, ‘we’ve got our own camp ground, we must hold our convention there.’ I’ve announced to the people, we were building but, we had a problem because the soil here is made of clay. As we were digging wells; we’ll dig, we’ll reach water, we’ll go to bed rejoicing. By the following morning, the well would have collapsed. Church Gist. We’ll start digging again and it was a week to the convention and one day, it was Sunday, I was around and one man wasn’t even a member of the Church, he was driving past and he just branched. He said he saw activities going on here, what are you people doing here? I said, “we are about to hold a convention.” He said, “what kind of convention?” So, I told him. He said, that’s a beautiful idea. He said, what’s your need?

• God will send help to you!

I said, our need is water and I explained to him, this place was jungle then, by the grace of God, we are the ones who brought life to this place. I said, “my problem is water. I’m bringing hundreds of people; we were only hundreds then and the first thing you need and you must have is water.” People can tolerate a bit of hunger, but water; they have to drink, wash, take care of their babies. Church Gist. He said, what you need is a bore-hole. I said, I know that, only I don’t have the money. He said, “I’ll build you one. I said, Sir, the convention is only one week away. He said, that’s enough time.

• The Ever-present help in the time of trouble will work into you tonight!

By Saturday, they got water. While they were digging, we were building the tower where we’ll put the tank. By Sunday when the crowd came, water was flowing freely.

• In a miraculous way, even somebody you don’t know will be an angel of God to bring you help!

• 

When the door opens, what is outside that is good can come in and what is inside that is bad can go out. But let’s look at open door from another perspective; suppose you are inside and it is not inside that you are supposed to be in, open doors could mean several things (Acts 12:1-11). A king killed a man of God and found out that some people like the idea. So, he went and grabbed another man of God, called Peter and put him into the prison. But people prayed, as you are going to pray tonight and God, the King of glory, the Lord of host sent one of His angels and he came into the prison, grabbed Peter and brought him out safely. The Bible says Peter thought he was dreaming.

When doors open, it could mean that your appointment with death is cancelled because the thing was going to kill Peter the following day, you read the rest of the story, it was the king that died, Peter kept on living.

• Anyone planning your death, if they don’t repent; you will attend their funeral!

The reason the king put Peter inside prison was to make sure that he will no longer fulfill his destiny, but Peter walked out; the king died and the work of God progressed (Acts 12:20-24, Acts 12:9). Church Gist. Peter thought he was dreaming. When doors open, dream-like miracles will begin to happen. There are miracles that when they happen to you for a long time, you’ll think you are dreaming.

• Such miracle will begin in the life of somebody from tonight!
• You are about to enter into victory.
• Daddy says, at your next shout of hallelujah, you will enter into victory!

What happens when the door remains permanently open?
John 10:9
When the door remains open permanently, you have freedom to move in, move out and just keep on succeeding. When the door opens and remains open, you can go anywhere you like safely (Psalm 121:8).

• In the name that is above every other name, from now on, anytime you travel, there will be no accident!

Do you know it is possible for the door to open to one and be shut against another? Because the Bible says, God can rain on a city and keep the other city dry. Church Gist. The Africans have a proverb; the rain can beat one side of a tree and leave the other side of the tree dry.

• The Lord says there’s someone here, those who have been looking at you as been far behind, will soon begin to see you as far ahead!
• The Lord says, as your church begins to grow rapidly, from now on, you will soon be asking the question; “Lord, where are these people coming from?”

Luke 23:39-43

• If God is going to open the door to only three people here tonight, my prayer is that, you will be one of them!

God can open and after some time, He can shut. But He’ll warn the fellow concern before shutting the door after He has opened it. Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve, he was trusted, he was the treasurer of the Almighty God, that’s how close he got. But in Matthew 26:21-25, Jesus said, “Someone is going to betray me and Judas Iscariot said, is it I? The Lord told him point blank, yes Sir, you said it.
John 13:20-30, at a meal (the last supper), when God expected Judas Iscariot to repent and he failed to repent, Jesus said to him; friend, that which you want to do, go and do it quickly. The Bible says, he got up from the table and he went out and it was night.

• 

In Acts 1:15-20, the Bible says he got out of ministry, but somebody else took his position. You know you have a choice in whatever is happening, God is keenly interested in opening doors to you and to keep it open (Revelation 3:20). If you are a child of God and you feel the door is shut against you, He gives you what you must do to get the door open (Matthew 7:7-8) – Ask, seek and knock. Church Gist. If you are one of His children and the door had opened before and then, the door was shut against you, repent. You know the story of the prodigal son, Luke 15:11-24, he was a child of God, he went back, the one who used to have abundance became somebody who had nothing. He repented and came back home, the door opened again.

You are not yet one of His children and you want the door to open to you, there’s only one prayer God answers from the sinner; “Lord have mercy on me.” He’s a merciful God. The Bible says He’s rich in mercy. It doesn’t matter how far your case may be; come to Him, He will open the door. But then, you are free to tell Him to mind His own business, He will not force you; He will let you choose. Church Gist. Tonight is a night of open doors. The Almighty God can flush out of your life, everything that is causing shame, if you allow the King of glory to come in. He can bless you to such an extent that you’ll say to God, “God is this not becoming too much?” I know what I’m talking about, when God began to bless the Church and move us forward and He began to enlarge our coast and some marvelous things for us and I was becoming frightened because God can bless you until you become frightened and I began to hear testimonies of what God is doing, I will share just one of the testimonies with you which I heard on Thursday night. A man said he was rearing chickens and then the previous year, he started rearing chickens and just before Christmas, all the chicken died and then, he started again last year and then, one of the chickens died again. He said, what’s going on? Then somebody said, there’s this handkerchief that Daddy anointed. He took the handkerchief and laid it on every chicken and not a single one of them died. When you hear of that kind of anointing that can even heal chicken, it causes you to tremble a bit. When I said to the Almighty God, “I’m afraid, what’s happening?” He said, “son, you stop living holy, I’ll stop my blessings. Continue to live holy, you haven’t seen anything yet.” Stay away from sin and you haven’t seen anything yet. But those of you who are still living in sin and you are still living in sin and expecting God to open doors, the only way to have that is to come to the Almighty God; surrender your life to Him. Ask Him to forgive you and wash away your sins and then, you’ll become a child of God and then you can cry to Him and He’ll open doors.

(Altar Call)
