OPENING PRAYER
Ancient of Days, the Father of all fathers.
The Father of the fatherless, the Husband of the Widow, the All Sufficient God – Glory be to Your Holy Name.
Thank You for all You have done for us since the Last Time that we met; Thank You for what You will do today – Please, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
We have come to bless Your Children – In Your Name, let everyone of them be Blessed.
In Your Own Miraculous Way, Ignite everyone of them.
Let the Fire of the Holy Spirit come down upon everyone of them.
The Ability to Perform Miracles – Ability to open Blind eyes, make the Lame walk, dumb speak, the Dead to rise; deposit into everyone of them.
Let this Year’s Gathering be radically Powerful in Jesus Name.
Give Your Children a Brand New Beginning – A New Beginning of Power, a New Beginning of Anointing, a New Beginning of Exploits and a New Beginning of a Closer Walk with You.
I Pray Lord God Almighty that everyone of them from this moment onwards will be hearing Clearly from You.
Open their eyes to see Visions, guide them, give them Wisdom, give them Understanding, enable them to excel. Let them become much more Wiser than their Professors.
I Pray that each and everyone of them will reach the Top.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
You may Please be seated.

Since this is a Meeting of Leaders – I believed Leaders will be seated and that is why I too want to be seated so that I can have Fellowship with the Leaders.
Acts 2: 1-4
1. And when the Day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one Place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing Mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of Fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Every wood is a Potential Fire Carrier.
That is why when you cut a tree down, you Produce something out of it that is called Firewood.
… It is wood but Fire is inside.

All that the wood needs to do to become Fire is to be Ignited – It is for Fire to come in contact with it.
Whether you believed it or not, you are a Potential Fire Carrier!
And I’m believing God for you that your time to catch Fire is now!
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 says that God has a Timetable for everything.
It is very essential that you don’t miss your Time because there are Opportunities that once they are lost, they will never be regained.
In Mark 5: 35-34 – If the woman with the Issue of Blood had not reached out to touch Jesus Christ when she did; she would have died bleeding.
She had spent everything that she had and instead of getting better, she was getting worse. And she had no more money for Doctors.
But at the right time, Jesus Christ was Passing by. She Struggled through the crowd, touch the Hem of His Garments and she got Ignited.
In Mark 10: 46-52 – When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus Christ was Passing by and he began to cry for Mercy and many People were asking him to shut up.
If he had agreed to shut up, he would have died a Blind Man.
But just at the right moment, the Lord was Passing by – Though he couldn’t see him, but he kept on crying.
And when they asked him to shut up, the reason he shouted louder is because he didn’t want the Opportunity to Pass him by.
I decree in the Name that is above every other names; you will grab your Opportunity tonight – Amen!
You know the Story in Numbers Chapters 13 and 14 – The children of Israel delayed going to Possess the Land by less than 24 Hours and many of them never did.
The Journey of less than 24 Hours became a Journey of 40 Years.
There are certain Opportunities that once you missed it, that is the end!
When David went to confront Goliath and he send that Stone flying.
If he had missed the first time, Goliath won’t give him an opportunity for the second Trial.
There are situations that happens in Life only once!
I have come to Pray for you – And that’s all that I have come to do.
Your Leaders has been giving you a lot of Solid Meat I’m sure.
But I remembered very well in 1979 when I went to Kenneth Hagin Camp Meeting for the first time.
And I saw “Raw Miracles” happening and I wanted what I saw.
I felt that if God can do it through a White Man, He can do it through me.
I have always told the Almighty God from the moment that I got Born Again – I don’t want to be an “Ordinary Christian” as I want to be Special.
When I became Pastor – I don’t want to be an “Ordinary Pastor”.
I didn’t even want to be a Pastor but just a Vessel Unto Honour – I just want to be Special!
Is there anybody here or reading now on the Label of DMC, who wants to be Special for God? – The DMC Family Members!
So when I saw this Man called Kenneth Hagin doing the things that I wanted to do; I made up my Mind that I must see him before I return to Africa.
When I told my friend – Pastor Stephen Rathod; he laughed.
NOTES: Pastor Stephen Rathod is the Senior Pastor of Covenant Family Church, Tusla Oklahoma, United States.
He told me that there is no way it can happen because the Man was heavily Protected.
Because as soon as he finishes any Program, he will just disappeared,
And the following week after the Conference, he won’t even come to Office because he will be resting.
I told him that I will see him!
I told him to Please help me inform them in his Office that there is Somebody from Africa who must see him.
To cut the long Story short, I saw him and I got what I wanted – That was in 1979.
A Relationship began between us – He sent his Ministers to Nigeria again and again.
I will host them, we will Minister together, travel together everywhere.
They will go back home, give Him a very Good Report about how I took care of them and so on and so forth.
But till Papa (NOTES: Kenneth Hagin) died years later, we never met again.
I made all manners of efforts but we never met again.
That Meeting was Ordained to be just one time!
Today, his son has been here to attend one of The RCCG Holy Ghost Congresses.
Because after I made that Contact, I told all my Colleagues – I said: Watch, a day is coming when People all over the world will be seeking for Permission to Minister in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
But we met only once – Only one Opportunity!
The reason I’m telling you this is because why your Leaders choose the Theme? Now is the Time!
They might not know what they are doing, but God knows!
1. There is Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC; who is Hungry for God.
2. There is Someone among us or reading now on the Label of DMC; who is Thirsty for the Power of the Most High God.
3. There is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC – And God knows who that Fellow is; who wants a Contact with the Fire of God.
That kind of Fire that fell on Mount Carmel – That Fire that can consume Stones, Water, Soil. Because that kind of Fire is still available.
The Problem is that those who want that kind of Fire are not too many!
But if you have risen to the Leadership Position in your Institutions; it can only mean one thing – God has no Objection to your becoming Ignited!
But as the English Man will say – You can take a Horse to the River, but you can’t force the Horse to drink,
I know that there are People among my Children – If they are my Children; who do not want to be Ordinary!
And I know that they are here tonight or reading now
I remembered years ago when I called my two little boys together – One of them is here today while the other is gone.
And I just gave them a little Test – I say, if I put a one hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) on a table and the Power to raise the Dead on the other side of the table (Then, they were Young that I can still carry them) – Which one will you choose?
I thought that they will say: One hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000)? Haha, that can buy a lot o.
There wasn’t a Minute of hesitation – They both said: ^The Power to raise the Dead” that is what we want.
Tonight is your Opportunity!
I have already Prayed for you – I Prayed for you before coming, I have Prayed since I was here and I’m Praying one more them:
By the time the Sun rises tomorrow, Someone who wants Fire from the Holy Spirit will already be Ignited.
It is over to you now!
I have Prayed and my God answer Prayers!
But then the Bible said: When the Day of Pentecost was “Fully Come”.
For Someone, your own Day of Pentecost has “Fully Come” at Last – Amen!
All you need to do now is to forget everybody else and go to the Almighty God and tell Him: God, You know all things, You know the End from the Beginning, You know that I’m the one your son (Pastor E.A Adeboye) is talking about – I’m ready Lord and I know that You have been ready all these times. Just Set me on Fire!
Go ahead and talk to Him.
The rest is yours!
If you feel that this is a matter for sitting down – It is over to you.
If you feel this is the moment you need to cry to the Almighty God and say: My Time is now. I’m ready so Set me on Fire Lord and keep me burning like never before.
Set me on Fire Almighty God, that Your Name might be Glorified!
Thank You Father!!!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
