OPENING PRAYER
Our Father and our God, we bless Your Name. The Holy One of Israel we Adore You. The God that never fails we say Thank You.
Thank You for what You have been doing in our lives from the beginning of this year.
Thank You for Previous Shiloh Hour Services – Thank You for fearful and terrible Testimonies we have recorded; thank You for what You are about to do now.
And Thank You for what You will do in the future.
Please, accept our Thanks, in the Name of Jesus.
As we gather before You this very moment, our Hope is in You – The Helper of the helpless, the One who can reverse the irreversible, the One who can do the Impossible, the Almighty!
Like never before, visit us again, in the Name of Jesus.
That which only You can do, do it in our midst today, in the Name of Jesus.
Reposition us from sorrow to Joy, in the Name of Jesus.
Reposition us from Fruitless Efforts to Fruitfulness, in the Name of Jesus.
Holy Spirit take over, in the Name of Jesus.
And let Your Name be Glorified, in the Name of Jesus.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
God bless you for being here today and reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen.
And I Congratulate you for being here in this Season of Divine Repositioning.
As God lives, by the time you are leaving here, God would have Supernaturally Changed your Status, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
I want to appreciate my beloved daddy and father-in-the-Lord – The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye, for the Privilege he has granted to me.
And I Pray for him and our beloved Mummy, that God will continue to work with them, Strengthen them and empower them, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
And I want to assure you that they are Praying for us concerning this Programme; and their Prayers over us shall be answered, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Like I said, we are in the Season of Divine Repositioning. And because you are here this Morning or reading now on the Label of DMC, you are going to taste the first Part of the Miracle, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
When we talk about Divine Repositioning, in a simple way, we are saying:
– God is taking us Supernaturally from where we are, to where He wants us to be.
– To where we desire to be, according to His Plan and Purpose.
And whatever happens, no matter the situation and circumstances, the Purpose of God will ever stand – Amen!
And as I stand on this Glorious Altar, I decree to your lives: His Purpose for your Fruitfulness will stand, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
I will just share with you the Testimony of someone that God Changed her Position from Barrenness to Fruitfulness.
As He has done before, He will do it again and even now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
I’ll take my Text from Genesis 21:7,
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
1. This is the Testimony of someone who had Previously concluded that she was going to die barren, that she was going to die childless because she had waited for a long Period of time – Over twenty (20) years Passed, and Nothing happened.
I want to give Good News to someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC – It doesn’t matter how long you have been waiting, God will still Prove Himself in your Life in the Name of Jesus (Amen).
After waiting for several years, Sarah lost Hope.
However, God Repositioned her from Hopelessness unto Hope because she eventually brought forth a Promise Child.
When you look at Genesis 30:1, you will see the Story of another Person who lost Hope, to such an extent that she confronted her husband, “give me children or I die.”
Meaning, “it is better to die than to remain barren; it is better to die than to be attending Naming Ceremonies without anybody to attend mine.” Hence she said, “give me children or I die.”
She lost hope completely because of her situation.
But when you get to Genesis 30:23-24, the same woman who had lost Hope; the one who Preferred Death to Living, now said “God has taken away my reproach.” God Changed her Position from Reproach and Shame to Glory!
The same God will Change your Position today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
She went further to say, “the Lord will also add to me another son” after she named her first son Joseph.
Have you lost Hope? Say to yourself: This year is ending again, but my Hope will rise again, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
2. This is the Testimony of someone whose case has been Medically closed.
Because she had entered Menopause.
That is why, when she was Testifying she said: Who would have thought that Sarah would give her breast to a child to suck? She said, I have bore Abraham a son in his old age.
That Testimony depicts what she Passed through – Because Medically and Physically speaking, she was not supposed to have a child again.
Have they told you also that with the Conditions and circumstances you are in at the moment, it would be Practically impossible to Conceive?
I want you to go back and tell them: “After today, my Twins are on the way” – Amen.
Because God will surely Change your Position, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
Why am I so sure?
When you read Genesis 18:13-14, the Bible says: And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, when am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the Time of Life, and Sarah shall have a son.
Because there is no Impossibility with God, by this time next year, you will come back with your children, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
3. This is the Testimony of someone whose husband was very old.
The husband was a hundred years of age; and she herself was very, very old: ninety (90) years of age.
It could be that you have been believing God before; but now that your husband is getting old you’ve started doubting. You’ve started considering whether it would still happen again.
I assure you: It would happen again and again, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
4. Is it your womb and uterus that they say is blocked?
If your womb is blocked, you even have a womb.
What of the Testimony of a woman without womb; and God Changed her Position from Barrenness to a mother of Twins?
Who said He cannot do your own?
Today, He will Change your situation, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
They might have said that your uterus is blocked, or that you are suffering from Hormonal Imbalance or that your case cannot even be Medically Diagnosed.
That they couldn’t see what is wrong with you or they have Tested and discovered, that everything is right with you, yet you are not conceiving. You have not been able to conceive even for days or weeks.
That Medical Expression will Change to God’s Expression, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
In Luke 1:36-37, I want you to listen to it very carefully, because it is very interesting how the Angel put the News – And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the Sixth Month with her, who was called barren. For with God Nothing shall be Impossible.
The Angel said to Mary, your cousin, you know her very well (that is my illustration) – She is very old, no one expects her to carry a baby again.
Not only did she know herself as a barren woman; everyone in the Community knew her as barren.
That is why the Angel said, “who was called barren.”
They nicknamed her with her Problem.
But the Angel said, you want to hear?
God has Repositioned her! – Today she is carrying six (6) Months Pregnancy in her womb.
Who am I talking to? Who is God referring to here? – Those trusting for the Fruit of the Womb among the DMC Family Members!
If you are the one say: I am the one!
Your Story will Change today in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
I can go on and on about the Testimonies of others; but I know your own Testimony is on the way – Amen.
WHAT BROUGHT A CHANGE TO THE POSITION OF SARAH?
1. The Promise of God:
Exodus 23:25-26, And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take Sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall Nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy Land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
… I think someone should say Amen to that – Amen.
That is the Promise of God – And our God can never lie.
Numbers 23:19 says: God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it Good?
Whatever God says is already done!
– God did not create your womb to be empty.
– God did not create any man to be barren.
The first Blessing God said, “Be Fruitful.”
Whatever is hindering your Fruitfulness, the Power of God will remove them today, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
That Promise is for you and it is for me – None shall be barren in the Land.
Few Months ago, Daddy GO was telling us that if you look at the Scriptures, no one was barren, except the one who made jest of her husband when he was Praising God.
He went further to say that you will never see a goat, a cow or a chicken that is barren.
And if God says to you and I that we shall not be barren in the Land and you are already in this Holy Ground or you are reading this Message now on the Label of DMC – Your Barrenness is Cancelled, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
Because the Faithfulness of God can never fail – And it will not fail over you – Amen!
2. The Power in the Word of God.
The Word of God came to Sarah expressly in Genesis 18:14 – Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of Life, and Sarah shall have a son.
And once God’s Word had gone out, t will not return void: it will do that which it was sent forth to do.
The Word of God has gone out to you also. Because Last Month, by the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our Daddy; he declared that every Wall barricading our Fruitfulness has already crumbled – Amen!
And because the Word has gone out, I say to your Life, they will never rise again, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
The Word has also come out today because this Holy Ghost Congress is tagged, “Divine Repositioning”.
See if God will not Resposition you from barrenness to Fruitfulness:
I. He would not have said it.
II. He would not have allowed you to be here this Morning or reading now
And because you are here this Morning or reading now, I say to you that you are no longer barren – Amen!
Do you see yourself so?
Because when the Angel came to Manoah’s wife in Judges 13:3-4 – Someone who had been barren for years, the Bible says:
And the Angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. Now therefore beware, I Pray thee, and drink not wine nor Strong drink, and eat not any Unclean thing:
The Angel stood infront of a woman who had been barren for years; her husband was not there, there was no Intimacy yet. And he said, you will conceive and bear a son: he is not going to be an Ordinary child, he is going to be a child of Destiny and with some other conditions.
… And he repeated it again: you will conceive and bear a son.
I say by the Authority of the Word of God and the Efficacy of His Promise, that you will conceive and bear children: and they would not be Ordinary children, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
You will have Male and Female, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Your Amen is low (you need to believe God’s Word) – Amen!!!
And I stand on the Authority and Anointing of my father-in-the-Lord to declare: No matter what is troubling your heart, you have been Repositioned to Fruitfulness, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
WHAT MADE THAT OF SARAH POSSIBLE?
1. The Covenant of God.
In Genesis 15:4-5, Abraham had an encounter with God.
And, behold, the Word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward Heaven, and tell the Stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy Seed be.
Maybe you are looking at yourself also, that time is Passing by you – Time will never bypass you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
God is never “Too Late” – He is always on time.
God said to Abraham, “Look now toward Heaven, and tell the Stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy Seed be.”
2. Abraham did one thing which I want you to do today: He believed God.
Who against hope believed in Hope, that he might become the father of many Nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And therefore it was imputed to him for Righteousness – Romans 4:18, 22.
Tell your Neighbour: Believe God, believe His Word, believe His Prophet, and you shall be Repositioned.
He believed God!
How many of you are children of Abraham here today or reading now? Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And has the Word of God come to pass or not? It has!
Surely, He will Reposition you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
3. God Paid them a Visit and they Welcomed Him.
In Genesis 18, God was Passing in the form of Trinity.
By the time they got to Abraham, he welcomed them, brought them to his Tent, washed their feet and entertained them.
It was after that entertainment that this Prophecy came – Which translated to Testimony in the family of Abraham.
God is paying you a visit today: Will you welcome Him? Will you receive Him? Will you entertain Him?
Because, it is Practically impossible for a Problem to be above God. It is Practically impossible for God not to Change our Position or situation.
The Problem is not on the side of God, the Problem is with us.
During the Earthly Ministry of Jesus Christ, He would ask, “Do you believe I can do this?”
If you say Yes from the bottom of your heart; He would not Pray but would simply say, “Let it be unto you according to your Faith.”
And those who really believed were not disappointed.
As God lives, you would not be disappointed, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Will you receive Him today and believe Him for who He is?
Will you believe His Word, His Promise and Covenant?
Faithful is He that has Promised, surely He will bring it to pass.
He has Promised to Reposition you Divinely; and it is coming to pass in your Life and my Life even now, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
In conclusion:
The Greatest Repositioning is when God Repositions you from Darkness to Light.
When He Repositions you from Death to Life.
ALTAR CALL
If you are here today or reading now and you are not Born Again, you need to give your Life to Jesus Christ. You need to Surrender that Problem to Him; you need to make up your Mind that, this burden is no longer your burden – You want to cast it to the Burden Bearer.
His Word says in 1 Peter 5:7, Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
God cares for you than you can ever imagine.
And if He says He is Repositioning us, for sure, it is already Settled.
But if you are not part of His Family; if you have not identified with Him: the Promises of God are for His Children, they are not for Strangers.
The Covenant of God are for His Children, they are not for those who are living outside of the Covenant – And there is no way you can live within the Covenant except you give your Life to Jesus Christ.
I will give you another opportunity today:
– To come and first settle with Him.
– To come and reconcile with your Maker – The One who created you to be Fruitful.
When you come to Him this Morning, everything would turn around Positively, and you too will begin to Glorify God.
So if you are here this Morning or reading now on and you are not Born Again, do so now. Because we want to Pray some Powerful Prayers: and these Prayers will only answer to those who are God’s Children.
I want to advise you to bring your burden before the Altar – Come and say Lord Jesus; I Surrender to You, I don’t want to carry the burden alone anymore.
And God will answer you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Shall we Please, rise up on our feet?
If you want to say bye bye to a Life of sin; you are saying, “I am tired of Barrenness, I come to You Lord Jesus, Please take over from now” – Come and Surrender to Jesus Genuinely today.
… Encourage them with your clapping, Please!
Those hands will be Fruitful; they will be Prosperous, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Father, in the Name of Jesus!
What a Loving Father You are, that You have decided to Reposition these ones unto Yourself. For no one can come unto You except You draw them.
Thank You for drawing these People to Yourself – Receive them in the Name of Jesus.

And together we shall make it to Heaven, in the Name of Jesus.

I congratulate you for Genuinely surrendering your Life to Jesus Christ today. And I want to assure you that our Daddy would be Praying for you.
So he needs your names, your Address and your Prayer Requests.
And all the Problems you have brought here, you are going to see them no more, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

2. Say Father, You Changed the Sorrow of Hannah to Joy, Reposition me to Joy today, in the Name of Jesus.
