Day 2: Tuesday, 4th August 2026
Welcome Service
R.C.C.G. 74th Annual Convention
Minister: Pastor E. A. Adeboye
Topic: From Grass to Grace
Text: Daniel 4: 28-37
There are all kinds of mountains.
When you have a mountain and you don't even know you have it, it can become the most dangerous of mountains.
Grass refers to the bottom - the lowest level.
Glory refers to the top - it is the highest level.
God can take a person from the dunghill (grass) and place them among kings (grace). 1 Samuel 2:7-9
• When a king becomes a mad man, he falls from glory to grass.
+ When God created Adam and Eve, they were clothed in God's glory. Genesis 2
Then they fell and became aware of their nakedness.
• The king left the palace and began to keep company with animals.
There is a group known as the congregation of the dead - those who have deviated from the way of the Lord. Proverbs 21:16
The journey from grace to grass always starts with pride. Proverbs 11:2
Pride goes before destruction. Proverbs 16:18
It manifests in various ways:
▪︎ Some say there is no God.
The fool says there is no God. Psalm 14:1, Proverbs 3:35
Some of us don't say God is dead with our mouths but we say it with our actions. Job 19:25
That's why we believe He doesn't see or hear what we say. Psalm 94:9
If we know that He sees our actions and hears our conversations, how many jokes would we share, knowing that every word we speak is recorded?
▪︎ Some of us say God was alive once upon a time, but now dead.
▪︎ Some of us think that although God is alive, He should mind His business while we mind ours. Daniel 3:1-15
We think that there are certain things we can do without the help of God.
But without Him, we can do nothing. John 15:5
The journey from grass to grace begins from getting rid of pride.
Usually, the mountain of pride is moved when you find yourself in a crisis beyond your ability to handle.
You must humble yourself under the mighty arm of God and He will exalt you. 1 Peter 5:6
You must submit yourself to God before you can resist the devil. James 4:6-7
Don't wait for a crisis before you surrender to Jesus.
Don't wait for a crisis before you say goodbye to pride.
During this convention,
Mountains will be moved
Incredible things are going to happen.
But won't it be a shame if you've been around since the Welcome Service and hear testimonies from Wednesday and at the end of it, you have nothing to show for it? You begin to question if God lied.
Proud people never believe that they are proud.
You need to get rid of the mountain of pride before we begin to get rid of other mountains, so that it doesn't stand in the way.
Salvation Call
If you haven't given your life to Jesus or would like to rededicate your life, ask the Lord to have mercy on you, forgive your sins, wash you clean with His blood, and save your soul.
