Dry Bones Shall Live Again: Full Sermon Compilation from RCCG Holy Ghost Congress 2025 – Day 3 Evening Session

Beloved saints, as the fires of revival blaze brighter on Day 4 of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Holy Ghost Congress (HGC) 2025, we pause to relive the seismic outpouring from Day 3. Under the overarching theme “The God of All Flesh” (Jeremiah 32:27), the evening session on December 10 ignited hope in the valley of despair. Titled “Dry Bones Shall Live Again,” Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s message drew from the prophetic vision in Ezekiel 37, transforming a sea of weary souls into an expectant army. Broadcast live from Redemption City and streaming globally via rccg.org and YouTube, this session wasn’t just preaching—it was a divine summons to resurrection power.

Drawing from the electrifying live updates on X (formerly Twitter) and full video recordings, we’ve compiled a comprehensive outline of the sermon, complete with all referenced Bible verses in full (KJV unless noted). This isn’t a verbatim transcript but a faithful reconstruction based on Pastor Adeboye’s delivery, weaving key points, stories, decrees, and prayers. If your situation feels like scattered bones—be it health battles, marital fractures, financial graves, or spiritual dryness—lean in. As Pastor Adeboye declared, “The God of all flesh can correct anything that may go wrong with what He has created.” Let’s unpack this life-giving Word and watch your dry places spring forth!

Anchoring in the Theme: The God of All Flesh – Creator and Restorer

Before diving into the sermon, remember the congress’s heartbeat: Jeremiah 32:27 – “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” This declaration, echoed throughout HGC 2025, underscores God’s dominion over every cell, circumstance, and shadow of death. Day 3 built on this, shifting from praise (Day 1: “Worthy to Be Praised”) and foundational decrees to targeted resurrection. With over 8 babies born by session’s end (4 boys, 4 girls) and testimonies flooding in, the atmosphere crackled with expectancy. Pastor Adeboye, stepping to the podium amid thunderous applause, opened with worship: “We give You all the glory… You are worthy to be praised!”

The session featured a powerful choir ministration from the Northern Zone, songs like “Bless the Lord, O my soul” and declarations of God’s might as the “Immortal, invisible God.” Bishop Mike Okonqua’s prelude talk, “Wings Like an Eagle,” set the stage with Isaiah 40:28-31: “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” He contrasted sin’s clipping of our wings (Romans 3:23) with Christ’s elevation (Ephesians 2:4-6; Matthew 1:21; John 1:29), urging believers to soar in divine health and purpose.

Testimonies poured like rain: A sister’s misplaced placenta spared her womb; a barrister’s lung cancer cells died post-surgery; barrenness reversed into twins; job losses flipped to divine relocations. These weren’t coincidences—they were previews of the sermon’s promise.

Full Sermon Compilation: “Dry Bones Shall Live Again” – Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Pastor Adeboye, with his signature blend of scholarly depth and Spirit-led fire, rooted the message in Ezekiel 37:1-10 (full text below). He read it aloud, pausing for emphasis: “The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.”

1. God’s Creative Power: From Mud to Miracle (John 9:1-7)

Pastor Adeboye began with gratitude: “One of the reasons we should thank God is because He made us human beings. He made all flesh and He has control over all flesh.” He cross-referenced the blind man’s healing to illustrate God’s artistry:

John 9:1-7 – “And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.”

• Key Insight: God formed man from mud (Genesis 2:7 implied) and breathed life into him. Thus, congenital defects—blindness, barrenness, deformities—aren’t final. “When God made man, He took mud, formed it, and breathed into it and made the form a living soul.”
• Decree: “I decree concerning all of you who have problems that you were born with, your problems will go tonight. In the Name above every other name, whatever God has to do to your bones, I declare bones, be normal!” (Bones of hands, legs, back, spine—receive alignment!)

2. The Valley of Dry Bones: Hopelessness Meets Divine Intervention

• The bones symbolize a perished army—young, vibrant warriors reduced to dust, unburied and forgotten. “According to Ezekiel, a whole army perished in the valley… they used to be healthy young people. Somehow, the entire army died, and only their bones were left.”
• God, seeking a spectacle, enlists Ezekiel: “God then decided that he wanted to do something like He had never done before and called on a trusted servant of His. Ezekiel had to admit that this was beyond his faith… But Lord, you are the God of all flesh. You know all things.”
• Process of Revival:
• Prophesy to the Bones: Shaking assembles them (bone to bone). Cross-reference Acts 16:25-26 (implied): “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.” – Shaking opens prison doors!
• Flesh and Sinews Form: Restoration of the body—regrow lost parts (e.g., breasts post-cancer, organs for barrenness).
• Prophesy to the Wind: Breath from four winds revives them into a mighty army. “Ezekiel prophesied to the winds and a mass of dry bones became a living army.”

• Decrees:

• “In the Name that is above every other name, there will be a shaking tonight. Every prison door that the enemy had put to stop you from reaching your goal, the shaking will force them open.”
• “Ezekiel spoke to the flesh. And the flesh became normal… If there is anything good in your body that by accident or intentionally has been removed by the doctor, in the Name that is above every other name, come back.”
• “I decree; every plant that my Father has not planted in your system, will go tonight.” (Tumors, cysts—be rooted out!)
• “The wind of God will blow on you tonight… I believe tonight, your miracles will not wait. I hereby decree in the name of the One Who is called the God of all flesh, today, receive Your miracle.”

3. Opening Eyes: Physical, Spiritual, and Prophetic Vision (2 Kings 6:8-23)

Pastor Adeboye shifted to sight: “The power in the tongue of a prophet can open the eyes of the blind, spiritually and physically.” He referenced Elisha:

2 Kings 6:8-23 (excerpted for focus, full in video): “Then the king of Syria warred against Israel… And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware thou pass not such a place… And when the messenger came… his servant said… Alas, my master! how shall we do?… And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha… And Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.”

• Key Insight: Gehazi’s eyes opened to heavenly armies; enemies blinded. God grants vision for destiny—see angels, future breakthroughs, or threats.
• Decree: “The ability for you to see into the future so that you’ll be ready before the future comes, receive it today… Any eye looking for evil no longer sees.”

4. Conditions for Decrees: Holiness and Salvation (Job 22:21-29)

• Power demands purity: “If you will have this kind of power entrusted to you, Jonah must go.” Full text:

Job 22:21-29 – “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up… For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee… For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.”

• Salvation Call: “You need Jesus to help you to get rid of every Jonah… If you haven’t given your life to Jesus… ask the Lord to have mercy on you, forgive your sins, wash you clean with His blood, and save your soul.” (Countdown invitation; intercessory prayer followed.)

5. Personal Application: Your Night of Visitation (Matthew 8:14-17; John 5:1-9)

• God heals multitudes but chooses individuals: Matthew 8:14-17 – “And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.”
• John 5:1-9 (pool of Bethesda): “After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool… and a great multitude of impotent folk… lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water… And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years… When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man… Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole…”
• Prayer Points:

1. “Father, let tonight be my night.”
2. “Call on God; you know where you need help the most. Cry to Him, let my dry bones live and live now.”
