I HAD ALL THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE PERMANENTLY TO THE USA IN 1987 BUT I ASKED JESUS FIRST.
MANY ARE ORDAINED TO BE EMPLOYERS OF LABOUR IN THIS COUNTRY BUT ARE SLAVING IN ANOTHER MAN’S COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY WON’T ASK GOD FOR DIRECTION.
-Bishop David Oyedepo at Mid-week Communion Service
Lift up your two hands and ask God to speak to you tonight. Jesus grant me access to Your Word tonight. Jesus let my Word come through tonight in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Someday the word of Joseph came and everything took a new turn. May this night be that kind of time in your life, where God’s Word will strike a chord on your inside and get you on the highway of life.
May this night be such night of encounter with you in the name of Jesus.
Heavenly Father we give You thanks, for there is none like You. Grant every one of us tonight in this service, an encounter indeed with Your Word in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Father and blessed be Your name in Jesus precious name.
Give the Lord a big hand of praise.
I was filled with utmost excitement as I saw those two folks that were contemplating suicide and just on time a rescue agent met them. Amen.
If you check the 2 testimonies, they were going to kill themselves for what happened the same week. They got to Church on Sunday, got their full package job in that week. We are not having fun here sir. “Believe the Lord Your God and you shall be established, believe also His prophets and ye shall prosper”.
2nd Chronicles 20:20
The Lord spoke to me that whatever clears the way for Elijah must clear the way for Elisha. So make this coming Sunday service a mantle service. Bring them to stand in your place of grace so that robbers can’t harass them, kidnappers can’t harass them, sickness can’t harass them.
He said that last year. Your attitude now is why you missed out last year. You don’t change your attitude, you’ll miss it again.
All those testimonies, I didn’t know one of them.
You just need to be awake and realign.
Many of us were pursuing after Kenneth Hagin’s light, an enormous light, very bright light, some casually, some averagely, some fervently, some dedicatedly, some sacrificially. The difference is clear.
It’s your turn. There is nothing God says for you to do that’s not to your benefit and your reward is not in the hand of any man, not in the hand of your papa.
My prayer is that you will qualify for your open rewards in this ongoing revival.
I’m not a prophet by title, I’m a prophet by calling and divine election. I’m privileged to know what God wants to do and God has a plan for your supernatural turnaround this year and that turnaround depends on your obedience of what He commands you to do.
John 2:5
Have a rescue agent perspective to your outreach, on your prayer altar. Fill in the Church to preserve them.
Somebody’s story is changing.
The Holy Ghost baptism is the free gift of God to every believer. You don’t have to qualify other than repent and accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour and then you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost that will help strengthen you for the journey. You can’t get strength for the journey without Him. He is the automatic gift of the Father to all His children and after you’re saved you’re qualified for that gift. Salvation entitles you for that free gift. He’s the only way to get perfect.
Nothing in the Kingdom is accomplished by power or by might. We are utterly limited without Him. It’s your right if you have genuinely repented. Don’t let this season pass without being a partaker of the Holy Ghost.
Please look out for the book “The Miracle Seed”. What I say to one I say to all. Shut your door against yourself and go through it asking the Holy Ghost to fill you up.
Mark 13:37
I wrote it in 5 days, it shouldn’t take you 5 hours to finish it. Amen.
Somebody got Born again from chapter 1 of that book in 1985, got filled with the Holy Ghost in chapter 3 and now he’s head of a ministry to show how genuine the encounter was. A far away Catholic boy.
There are no private testimonies in the Kingdom. Every testimony is a pointer to your heritage.
Psalm 119:111
This will be a season you will never forget all the days of your life.
One of our converts came to Church, gave His life to Christ and lifted up his phone during the Financial Fortune Banquet as point of contact. He was gathering the Word and receiving the prophetic Word. After the service the phone rang again, he got a call from his friend and was asked to send his account number. He was under the showers of financial fortune banquet. He was sent 500,000 Naira. Now this is not someone who knew how to find food to eat.
Don’t enter any service casually. Come with a determination to encounter God.
My prayer again is that no one here will miss his portion in this season in the name of Jesus Christ.
UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON AND MISSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT PART 3
1- He’s our God ordained Helper. He’s our all round Helper. Not only Helper but an ever present Helper.
Psalm 46:1
Why because He lives in you.
John 14:16-17
They saw the Holy Ghost in Christ. He was their covering. He released the Holy Spirit on them as they went on missions.
Isaiah 59:19
That means we cannot live the overcomer’s life without Him. Whatever is born of God is ordained to overcome the world.
1st John 5:4
2- He’s our ever reliable defender.
Psalm 105 :15
Ephesians 1:13
He’s our shield and buckler.
3- He’s our ever reliable source of health and vitality.
Romans 8:11
He energises our organs. He paid for our health and vitality and has given us the Holy Spirit to remain healthy and strong. You may have some medication but it doesn’t work on your body until you take it.
He quickens our mortal bodies.
Ezekiel 37:6
Sickness will not take you for a ride anymore. You have the quickening power of God within you. It’s to sort you out when you’re changed.
You must let the Holy Ghost have His way in Your life and not turn Your back on Him. There is no helper reliable as He is. Hallelujah.
4- He’s our most reliable guide. The world is fast becoming a wild life park. All the wild beasts are on the lose. You need a highly skilled guide not to run your life into the mouth of a lion.
He guided Abraham to his place of destiny. Our most accurate guide in the journey of life.
Famine came up in the time of Isaac.
Genesis 26:2
Isaac became stronger in that nation.
Genesis 26:14-16
The most pitiable humans on earth are displaced people. He’s there to guide us into all truth.
John 16:13-14
Proverbs 14:12
When Abraham got on course with God’s agenda and God’s leading, his greatness just supernaturally emerged. In no time he had an army to himself.
Isaiah 30:1-2
You can’t go down where He leads you. No matter how you try, you can’t go up where he didn’t lead you. We were out outside the country for 6 years, no imprint. I said “God what’s going on here? He said “I’m not there”. What makes a difference in where He leads you is that His presence goes with you. Can I hear your amen?
Armed robbers have never entered Canaanland. They can’t. They will be smitten by the angelic covering that hovers around the land. When you get to His appointed place you don’t suffer calamities anymore.
2nd Samuel 7:10
He has a place of your own for you. Don’t ever mistake opportunity for destiny.
I had all the opportunity to be in the US 1987 and move there permanently. I said “Jesus what are You saying? Do I have any regrets for not being there? Never.
Many are ordained to be employers of labour in this country. They’re jumping from job to job in another man’s country. Slavery kind of job sir because they won’t ask. Jumping about as if that’s a prize winner adventure.
Everything is changing. You earn a degree in those days, you have to mention the country.
Please note, whether in pursuit of your career, your business, your place of worship, don’t ever try to choose a place for yourself and don’t know the place He chooses and turn your back, you will always end up in regret.
Deuteronomy 12:13-14
God chooses who your parents are. He chooses which town, a Village, a Hamlet or country you’re from. Allow God to choose where you belong and settle in there. Don’t pose to be somewhere else.
Wherever He leads you, that’s where your sworn blessing is waiting.
Somebody left this Church for 19 years, traveled and returned wounded. By the time he returned he had leg problem, everything turned upside down and Jesus intervened when he got back to his place.
You won’t miss your steps.
If we didn’t come here, He would have stopped His workings with us. Now don’t forget, he would have brought somebody else here because His plan is to make His name known on the earth and no man can stop His agenda. You drop the crown, another man takes it off.
- May another man not take your crown.
Celebrate the help of the Holy Spirit as you have heard it. He’s your master guide. Your most reliable defender. He’s everything you’ll ever need in life. Your most reliable guide in the journey of life. The one that only leads forward and not backwards. Acknowledge His mission in your life in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
- May every of His diversions become your natural heritage.
- May you continue to enjoy His master guide.
- You’ll never miss your steps in the journey of life.
- You’ll never find yourself in a place where God is not.
- You will never lack defense when you’re attacked.
- He will rise to your help at every point in time in the name of Jesus Christ
