*Some people claim responsibility for killing and are still on the streets.
*You say is what I am saying constitutional? Are the killings constitutional?
*There will be peace in Nigeria.
*Tithing, giving to Kingdom Projects and to the needy around us sustains our coverings in God.
- What a jungle justice
- I warned you by the Spirit that the nation was making the costliest mistake.
- Is the killing of these people constitutional?
- God is angry with the wicked every day.
- Not to be angry with what God is angry with, you are ungodly.
- No matter how many people are angry with your abundance, they can’t do nothing about it.
- Serving God protects us from all satanic assaults.
Give God thanks this morning for the privilege to be in His presence. Celebrate Him, magnify Him. There is no one like our God. In Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
Just one Word from Heaven can stir a lifelong turnaround. The Lord sent a Word into Jacob, it turned a nation out of him (Isaiah 9:8). Lord, send me Your Word this morning, I want to hear from You. Send me Your Word on this awesome day of divine protection and let that Word keep my life safe all through my journey. In Jesus name we have prayed.
Lord Jesus, we are all gathered at your feet this morning. Let no one return without a touch. Let your light break forth into everyone’s life. In these days of global insecurity, keep everyone safe supernaturally. Have respect for your covenant oh Lord, in Jesus precious name.
How many people here want their children safe? How many want them protected? How many want them preserved? How do you think that God wants any less?
God wants you and me protected, wants us preserved, wants us defended and in the name of Jesus, your part in that package will be unveiled to you today.
You and your household shall remain safe all the days of your life. In the name of Jesus and so shall it be. In Jesus name.
Today is the last Sunday of the month and we are concluding our Teaching Series on Biblical Wisdom for All Round Breakthroughs.’
Mark 6:2-3
God’s wisdom is the wisdom of Mighty Works, Mighty Proofs. His wisdom engenders all undeniable proofs that this is God’s wisdom at work. How manifold are thy works oh God… (Psalm 104:24).
The manifold works of God: they are triggered by the wisdom of God at work.
What is wisdom? Whosoever hears these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man.
Wisdom is simply putting the Word of God to work, believing. God says, “I have this plan for you to do.” To get into that plan, then you begin to engage with what He said you are supposed to do; by so doing, that promise graduates into a covenant. It becomes binding on God to perform when your part is fulfilled.
It is the ignorance of our part that has made us captives where we should be captains. We just don’t know our part, so we don’t do them. We keep crying to God and the scriptures cannot be broken: until your part is played, God cannot be committed (John 10:35).
No matter how much a man cries, if he will not repent, can he be saved?
Now let me say this: no matter how you cry, can anybody prosper without being a giver? No. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest shall not cease (Genesis 8:22).
Last meal: Yes! You want more meal? I do. Give the last meal and you will have more meals.
No matter how much a man cries, if he will not believe, he cannot be healed: Healing answers to only faith. No Faith, No Healing. According to your faith, be it unto you (Matthew 9:29). Not according to the anointing of the one praying for you, according to your faith. Thy faith has made thee whole (Luke 8:48). So it takes faith. You have to do the Faith part for God to do the Healing part!
That is what the Bible defines as wisdom. The wisdom from above (James 3:17). It is engaging with the Word from above.
Isaiah 34:16
My mouth it has spoken and Heaven is His throne, so He is speaking from above.
My Spirit, it hath gathered them: so everything here comes from the mouth of God whose throne is in Heaven and His footstool on the earth (Isaiah 66:1).
That is what makes this Book a package of the wisdom from above. Church Gist. The wisdom from above and that is above all (John 3:31). The wisdom from above when engaged with, puts you above all: above all occultic powers, above all machinations of the wicked one; puts you just above. Whatever is from above is above all (John 3:31).
Today we are looking at:
BIBLICAL WISDOM FOR DIVINE PROTECTION
What must I do to enjoy my divine protection package in redemption? Because when you are saved, you are raised up together with Him, made to sit together with Him in heavenly places, far above the tormentors of life on the earth (Ephesians 2:6, Ephesians 1:21).
How do I realise my divine protection rights in redemption? What must I do?
Divine covering is the stronghold of our protection in the Kingdom. He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1). It is new birth that brings one under that covering because it is by new birth we become members of His own household (Ephesians 2:19). We come under His covering by being born again (Ephesians 2:12, 13, 19).
People should know that when you are not saved, that is your condition – Ephesians 2:12
That is what is required to come under His covering which is the stronghold of our protection on the earth.
New birth should not be appropriated, it’s an experience you must have.
If any man be in Christ, NOT be in Church, he is a new creature; behold old things are passed away, all things are become new – 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Until one comes under that covering according to Ephesians chapter 2 verse 12, without God and without hope in this world, anything can happen to him at any time. New birth is what brings you and me under that covering and you need to know what that covering carries from Psalm chapter 91 (verses 1 to the end).
He becomes the stronghold of our protection in this wicked world. He is our stronghold of our protection in this wicked world, that is why He said you must be born again (1 Timothy 5:8). God provides all that you will require for members of His own household, including the most needed protection in this wicked world. In this wicked world!
You remember the story of the prodigal son when he left from under the covering of the Father. He was stripped naked, he became miserable, a byword and a proverb (Luke 15:15, 17, 22). He could not recover that until he returned. That is why when there is a disconnect between a believer and God, he should better recover himself very fast, before he is stripped naked and destroyed.
Until he returned, his dignity was not restored: that is why you see us saying, “You want to re-dedicate your life to Christ.” That is what we are trying to do, to recover yourself back under that covering. It’s not just in a Church, the Church provides an avenue for that.
Somebody wandered away from Christ for 19 years. His stories were horrible. He just went on AWOL like the prodigal son. He was saying it by himself, not that anybody… In the process, he became impotent, crippled, all kinds… Because he left off the covering that guarantees his dignity.
Don’t play with it. People out there spend a lot of money for protection, yours is for free. My God. Yours is available for free.
Many people think that, you know, “Papa must be doing something because nobody can be doing what He is doing that way without something ohh.” I am telling you what I am doing now: I am under that covering and I am conscious of it. Sir, you touch me, you touch His eye: He will blind those eyes and torment that life because He loves me and I love Him.
Somebody’s story is changing!
Simple but true. You need to be consciously under that covering and it is by choice, He doesn’t force His way into anybody’s life.
What Must I Do To Sustain This Divine Covering?
Choose to remain to whatsoever He tells you to do. Whosoever has my commandments and keeps it, he is the one that loves me…and I will manifest myself to you (John 14:21). My covering will be evident.
You are obedient: you will secure my covering naturally.
If whatsoever He tells you in your devotions, whatsoever He tells you in your meditations, you embrace them and begin to walk with them.
Whatsoever He tells you in teachings as we are having right now, from His Word and you know it is from His Word and He is directing that to you: you embrace it. By so doing, you secure the manifestation of His presence at will.
“Jesus, I know You are here” and He says, “Yes, I am.”
I’ve gone through several points of death situation, but I was too sure of His covering. Too Sure!
Whatever He tells you to do, do it and you’ll enjoy the manifestation of His covering at will. You won’t miss that again.
“I will say of the Lord” – Psalm 91:2.
One of His commandments: you want to retain His covering, keep talking openly, unashamedly of the efficacy of your covering in redemption.
You hear me say, “one billion demons can’t stop my way going.” You say it openly, you say it boldly.
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it (Psalm 81:10). But you won’t, you are more civilized than my commandment? (Psalm 81:11-12). He said if you have done what I commanded you to do, I would have soon turn my hand against your adversaries and bring them down (Psalm 81:14).
I will give you a mouth and wisdom that none of your adversaries can resist nor gainsay (Luke 21:15).
I will say because life and death are in the power of the tongue, I will say (Psalm 91:2).
“Nobody is safe in Nigeria”: that is why you are not safe!
I will say of the Lord…
“No one can tell what will happen next”: that is why your life is so uncertain!
I will say of the Lord
There was global lock down, the devil couldn’t lock us down. In the year of global lock down, your Church planted 10,404 Churches, what a lock down?
I will say what God says, no matter what is happening. I will say what the Word says, no matter what is happening.
You are trying to be like them. This morning I was meditating, there are 3 kinds of people that make a congregation:
There are those who are entertained by the Church, so they come in there: they like the Choir singing, they like those testimonies; they are entertained by it.
There are social members for purpose of social identity: Which Church do you go? I mean I have been in Winners’ for long my friend.
There are spiritual members: the gap is wide!!
Somebody’s story is changing. There are many people in this Church that don’t have any external need for protection. They don’t have any, God is their only refuge, their buckler and they have been kept safe over the years.
-Looking here and there is over in your life today.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust – Psalm 91:2
And what happens? As I keep saying that, He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence…His truth that I have come to know will be my shield and my buckler (Psalm 91:3-4). That is based on your complying with His commandments.
I will say, I will trust: He shall cover me.
To remain under His covering, you must keep walking by faith because every provision of the Kingdom delivers by faith. Faith is the spiritual signature that entitles you to the delivery of your inheritance in Christ.
For we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
It is to everyone according to his faith (Matthew 9:29).
The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Galatians 3:11).
The just shall live by his faith, NOT our faith.
You take the shield of faith and you quench all the fiery darts of the devil (Ephesians 6:16).
They that trust in the Lord shall be like Mount Zion that cannot be removed but abideth forever (Psalm 125:1). Faith!
One must be committed to walking by faith. Through faith, they subdued kingdoms (Hebrews 11:33). God delivered Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego from the fiery furnace because they trusted in their God (Daniel 3:28). He protected Daniel in the den of lions because he believed in his God (Daniel 6:23). Faith is the shield of our protection.
One must continue to serve God and the interest of His Kingdom as a lifestyle. Serving God becoming the natural delight of your soul and what does that bring about?
“Thou shall serve, He shall bless” – Exodus 23:25. When God blesses, it is sorrow free (Proverbs 10:22). When you serve Him, He blesses you.
Exodus 23:25-26
His blessing makes rich and adds no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). You are blessed of God, you are not permitted to be afflicted with sorrow.
Job 36:11 – so you are supposed to live your days and years in a sorrow free realm.
“Have you considered my servant Job, there is none like him on the earth”: he said, “have thou not built an hedge around him” (Job 1:10). God builds an hedge around those who serve Him. Keep serving Him, He builds an hedge around you, an impregnable hedge.
When God blesses, He said, “The Lord shall be thy defence and thou shall have plenty of sleep” (Job 22:25). Serving God makes God your defence!!
No matter how many people are angry with your abundance, they can’t do nothing about it. The wicked shall see it and gnash with his teeth, the desire of the wicked shall perish, because He becomes your defence (Psalm 112:10). When God blesses you, He becomes your defence, to protect the blessing against the assault of the wicked one.
When God blesses, He protects the blessing.
-No one here will suffer a reversal of the blessing of God upon his life. You shall not suffer a reversal of the blessing of God on your life.
Keep serving Him and you have committed Him to build an hedge of defence around you. satan said, “have you not built an hedge around him, around his house and around all that he has on every side” (Job 1:10). That is you!
You know the problem of Job, he never knew there was an hedge around him. He never knew!!
But we are told in Isaiah chapter 5 that “my beloved has a vineyard, he built a tower over him in the midst of it, to watch, to ensure that they are safe. He built a wall round about it” (Isaiah 5:1-13).
We are God’s vineyard; we are of choice vine and God has built a wall around us against all satanic assaults. All we need to do is to keep serving Him to retain those walls of fire around our lives.
Serving God protects us from all satanic assaults. He sent out the 70, they came back saying, “even devils were subject to us in your name” (Luke 10:17).
He said, “I gave unto you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10;19).
When you are on the go for Jesus, you are shielded, you are protected from all satanic assaults.
That shall be your experience from now.
When they entered into a covenant to serve God, He gave them rest round about (2 Chronicles 15:15). He has built an hedge around those who serve Him, about their families, around all that concerns them and the devil knows it.
“Touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm” – Psalm 105:15
Psalm 105: 13-14
Shut up, daft! Who are you?
Somebody’s story is changing. Thank You Father
But why are you angry about this people? God is angry with them. He said, “My God is angry with the wicked every day”, NOT once a while, EVERY DAY (Psalm 7:11). Not to be angry with what God is angry with, you are ungodly. Church Gist. God is angry with the wicked every day and God has put up a verdict, there shall be no peace to the wicked saith the Lord (Isaiah 48:22). He said, “if he does not change, I have prepared my bow, I have prepared my instruments of death and I will destroy him (Psalm 7:12).
Somebody went to his farm to do his normal call, it is his assignment, it is his business and you went there, tied him down and slaughtered him. How dare you?
Sir, I am angry with them every day… I am angry with the wicked every day.
Do you pray for armed robbers? You must be a dummy to do that. You pray against them.
Do you pray for kidnappers? You pray against them
Not to know what to pray against than what to pray for is what makes you a dummy.
Sir, it will become history that there were some Fulani herdsmen in this country; I am telling you as a prophet.
Thank You Jesus.
It will become history.
That you can’t sleep in your house and close your eyes
Somebody said, “it is what Papa said, it is not constitutional.” Is the killing of these people constitutional?
That some people claim responsibility for killing and then they are on the streets! What a jungle justice!
But I warned you ohhh. Church Gist. I warned you by the Spirit that the nation was making the costliest mistake. I warned you.
You don’t train to become an Apostle Sir, you are called. You can’t train to become a prophet, you don’t become one…you are now a Prophet. No.
I warned you! I am privileged to be one of those people that God confides in concerning the state of affairs in this country. I warned you. Now you are facing the music, but mercy will prevail for us as a Nation.
Thank You Jesus.
Well, it is also interesting to know that tithing and giving to the needy around us sustains our covering.
Malachi 3:10-11
“…I will rebuke the devourer for your sake” – Stop That!!
“…and he shall not devour your field” – Stop That
Tithing is one of the mystery in the Kingdom that sustains our covering in God.
Psalm 41:1-3; for considering the poor.
Somebody is challenged in your home cell; you understand that and you take some ‘modus’ of rice on your way to the next fellowship and say, “just to bless the children”, give to her and God records it.
“I will preserve your generation from looking for what to eat”
“No one in your jobless will be jobless”
You are just there. If you don’t do it, somebody else will do it, so there is nothing special about you and me. If you don’t do it, somebody else will do it. We had some very interesting experience recently:
I saw a little boy that was moving around the premises with one quarter filled water bottle and he is supposed to be a school age child.
I said, “Hey”, I stopped the car: Why are you not in school? My mother could not afford it.
Where is your father? He ran away.
Where are you staying? On the field.
Are there other siblings? Yes, two others are with my mother.
Where is your mother? She is praying on the field.
Compassion welled up in my heart. I said, okay, they should get them and take them to the Camp House, I will be paying until we get a place for them. Now I said it, if you will help me get a house. Now they got a house and somebody else got a house for them. If you don’t do it, somebody else will do it. He didn’t only get a house, he has furnished it to keep them there.
It is your privilege, it is not that you have done something that nobody has ever done. It is just your privilege to enhance your covering in God. You don’t want to see somebody under the open air, God will ensure that no one in your generation is under the open air. That is what He does.
Blessed is the man that considers the poor, He will deliver him in the day of trouble (Psalm 41:1). So take delight in it.
The reason we have this family unit is to be in touch with one another. To be able to feel people. We come to Church, we jump, we shout but you come in there and you are just 10, 12, maximum 15. You could feel each one’s pulse, you could feel it.
In those days in Kaduna when our Church was very very big, about 20, 24, 25. I could feel the people when it is time to sing and I would tell our Associate, “look at that young man, number 3 to that window, get him for me after Service. Maybe he has not eaten”; then most of the time, you call them and they would just burst into tears. You reach out to your already tiny pocket and put something in their hand with a blessing, “You will never look for food anymore in your life.”
Blessed is the man that considereth the poor, the Lord will deliver him in the day of trouble.
That is what fellowship is all about. It is feeling what they feel and playing your part to the level to which He has blessed you.
Don’t look away from the needs of the needy for God will not look away from you when you are in need. When you are able to, to the level you are able to, He doesn’t put anybody under pressure: Play your part. You are securing your covering in God.
You can’t bail somebody out of a situation and God will leave you there: No
These are things to do, to sustain the covering of Heaven over your life.
Finally, let praise become your new lifestyle. Engage a lifestyle of praise to secure divine presence.
Psalm 34:1, Psalm 22:3
When praise becomes your lifestyle, God’s presence becomes your natural covering. You are just with God and God with you. You are putting on God and so the devil fears the God you are putting on, not you.
Praise is a covenant guarantee for divine presence…Give God thanks. Give Him glory and praise
-You and your household shall remain protected, preserved, established, unmovable, ‘un-molestable’, ‘un-assaultable’ in the name of Jesus Christ and so shall it be.
Somebody is out there, he does not have a means of getting to Church and you have what it takes to help him: why not? And he comes and encounters light, he helps others too to know the Lord: Why not? It is a value chain. It keeps going on and going on and going on.
You will not be missing there.

How many believe that when I pray, God hears?
“Let no man trouble me because I bear the mark of the Lord Jesus on my life” (Galatians 6:17)
Let no man trouble me: all of us who have received the Word this morning and you have chosen to walk in it, you are bearing the mark of the Word on your life. That means, no devil is permitted to trouble you anymore.
Jesus is the Word, when you receive and believe the Word: you are enlightened, you are illuminated, you bear a mark on your life.
