THIS IS NOT THE LAST AUDITORIUM YOU WILL BUILD!
MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL: ALLOW GOD TO LEAD YOU. DON’T BE LED BY THE ENVIRONMENT, YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT HOW QUICKLY HE BRINGS HIS WORD TO PASS IN YOUR LIFE.
-Bishop David Oyedepo
Day 4, Recharge Conference 2021
Great Dome Dedication, Global Impact NG
*He never leads backward, He always lead forward.
- There is a place for you in space, all you need to learn is how to fly your spacecraft.
The theme of the conference that’s culminated in this Dedication today is captioned ‘RECHARGE.’
-No one’s battery here will go flat.
-You will remain on the highway of life.
-There shall be no breakdowns.
Let me share these thoughts with you before go into the Dedication Session.
THERE ARE NO CEILINGS ON THE DESTINY OF GOD’s PEOPLE
The path of the justified is ordained to be as a shining light that shines more and more and more and more until the perfect day, the day that Jesus returns (Proverbs 4:18).
We have a destiny of no limits in Christ.
-That is to say, wherever you are now is the least place you will ever be.
Every child of God possesses a greater potential in redemption than all the Old Testament saints in scriptures. So everyone of us in this House, everyone redeemed by the Blood carries greater potentials in redemption than Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Daniel, Gideon, Job: name it. That is the whole episode of 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 verses 11 to 13. That tells us how elastic our destiny in redemption is, both as individuals and as ministries.
I kept telling my son, this is not the last thing you are going to build. You are too young to have the last at this time.
Of all born of women, there is none as great as John the Baptist, but he that is least in the Kingdom is greater than he (Matthew 11:11). That is saying you carry much more than all the giants in the Old Testament carried.
But this destiny is unveiled only as far as your eyes can see (Genesis 13:14-15).
You’ve got to see it first before you can access it.
You’ve got to see before you can take delivery of it.
How far we see is what determines how far we ever go!
Remember Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law…that the blessings of Abraham might come unto us who are gentiles (Galatians 3:13). So we have access to the same order of blessings that Abraham carried in redemption and demands that as far as your eyes can see, unto you will God give it.
-May the eyes of all be opened today, to see far beyond where you are today from the Word of God and learn how to get there.
You will get there.
Can I show you this – Deuteronomy 28:1
“…Above ALL nations”: not some nations, not most nations. Above all nations of the earth. That again shows how elastic our destiny in redemption is. Above all nations of the earth.
Interestingly God delivers His plan and purpose to us, little by little, so it takes patience. The patience of faith to fully realise God’s ultimate agenda for our lives in our walk with Him.
Exodus 23:30 – He gave them little by little
Deuteronomy 7:11 – He gave them the promised land little by little
We obviously have a destiny of no limit in Christ but He said, whosoever believes in Me, the works that I do shall He do also and greater works than these shall he do because I go to My Father (John 14:12). That is how elastic our destiny is in redemption, doing the works that He did and greater: He said it with His mouth. If you will believe. Interestingly, nobody ever doubts what He can see. If you can see it, believing it is natural.
You can’t be confused: I am not wearing suit here now
Why? You can see it
I am not wearing black? Why? You can see.
No one has a problem believing what He can see and what revelation is all about is being able to see what God is saying. So men of revelation don’t struggle with faith, they can see it, so believing it is natural.
We cannot but speak those things we have heard and seen. Doubt dies when you are able to catch what God is saying with your sight.
Even Thomas, “My Lord and My God”, when he saw Him: his doubts gave way.
One of my privileged protégés heard me say, “I am not surprised at where we are. Blessed be God for making it happen but I would have been surprised if we were not there.”
Why? I could see it far ahead of time.
-My prayer is that everyone’s eyes shall be specially opened today, to see far beyond where you are and take covenant responsibility on how to get there. It is bound to happen.
For example, every child of God has an enviable destiny in redemption (Galatians 4:28).
Isaac went forward, waxed strong, became very great and the Philistines envied him. The nation went him and said, “thou art mightier than us.”
-So men mightier than nations will start rising in the Body of Christ.
You don’t have a pitiable destiny, you have an enviable destiny in Christ.
-Whatever connotes pity around you is converted to envy today.
Never mind where you may have been. When Saul came into the midst of the Prophets, he began to prophesy.
-You have come to the midst of those who can see, your eyes must open today. Your eyes must open today!
We ran a Master Class at African Development Centre at the University and I did one of those classes. It was in line with what Apostle Godman said, you know, I told him , “I have been seeing men of God, he is the first Godman I met in my life.” Amen. Praise the Lord.
If Godman was not here, will I be here? He also knows.
I said: there is a place for you in space, all you need to learn is how to fly your space craft. There is a place for you there. The atmosphere is filled with billions of birds, yet they have not been able to shield the Sun from shining, to show how much space there is for anybody.
-The good news is, you will never be grounded anymore in your life.
We all have a mountain top destiny in Christ as we keep walking in obedience to God’s commandments. A city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. Just obey and I will take you there, that is the Word.
If you will diligently hearken to My voice, observe to do what I command you, I will take you to the topmost of the Mountain, above all nations of the earth.
-God has not changed, He is changing your level today.
Every Israelite is likened to an eagle which implies every believer is redeemed to soar where others sweat. You have this analogy in Deuteronomy chapter 32 verses 9 to 14. He showed us the secret in there: The Lord alone did lead them and there was no strange god with him
-As you let God keep leading you, He will be leading you from one level to another.
Please learn what it takes instead of breaking our heads with prayers and fasting.
Learn what it takes and line up with it.
He led him about as an eagle. He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of his eye (Deuteronomy 32:12-13).
May I say this to all Ministers who are here, allow God to lead you. Don’t be led by the environment, allow the Lord to lead you. He never leads backward, He always lead forward. Allow God to lead you and you will be surprised at how quickly He brings His Word to pass in your life.
Therefore, following God’s leading is a vital key to arriving at the fullness of His plan and purpose for our lives. Following His leading:
“Thou shall not go down to Egypt” – simple instruction to Isaac.
“Dwell in the land that I tell thee of” – He stayed in there
And he sowed in that land and in that year, he reaped a hundredfold (Genesis 26:12).
The Lord blessed him, he went forward, he waxed stronger, he became very great and the Philistines envied him (Genesis 26:13-14). One year of massive turnaround by walking after the leading of the Lord.
That is the way there and you will get there.
As we keep following, God will keep making. All you need is Follow Me, leave Me to your making (Matthew 4:19).
As we keep following, God keeps advancing us. Allow Him to shepherd your life, you will keep going forward and never backward.
Keep following and God will keep enlarging you, taking you from level to level as you keep following.
Isaiah 48:17
The Lord said to me October 1, 1983, “I am committed to leading you if you are committed to following me.”
And I tell you He has been leading me about, year after year and has never led me backward. Most of the leadings don’t appear to add up, they look weird as if you lost your mind, but if it is the Lord leading, He is leading
