-Bishop David Oyedepo at Mid-week Communion Service
We just have a few more days and the midst of the year shall be made manifest in this prophetic season.
- All everlasting mountains that has been stirring you in the face over the years shall clear off your way.
- Struggling for survival will come to an end.
- Ups and downs in your life will become history.
Someone in far away Akwa-Ibom, The son has been mad for 20 years. Has spent and spent and has given up on God, given up from going to Church and when I read what he said about our missionary evangelist, he said “Thank you for sending us a Messiah”. Tears was coming down my eyes. This mission got hold of this man and taught him how to build his faith and to engage in Kingdom advancement endeavors. Today the son is free after 20 years of uncontrollable madness.
Everlasting mountains scattering before our face.
- In the same vein whatever represents mountains in your life will not survive the end of this prophetic season.
Habakkuk 3:6
In the remaining few days you can clear off the mountain before you. This man got on sacrificial dimension of Kingdom advancement endeavor. He has not even gone to Church before. He caught the fire and God manifested himself.
- The raw power of God shall be made manifest in your circumstance.
- Whatever may be a burden on your soul, no matter how long it may have stayed God will turn it to a testimony.
He doesn’t need raw materials, He creates it.
Genesis 1:3
Now ask Him, Jesus I want to hear from you, I want an encounter from You. I desire an encounter with Your Word of power today. One Word from God can change your destiny in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Lord open the eyes of everyone today and let their encounter be a life long encounter in the name of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 4:6
Mark 10:27
We are not religious bigots, we have a mind of our own. They call Him the Lord of Hosts, He uses anything to fight His battle. So He created a noise and the armies of His enemies scattered.
2nd Kings 7:13
Don’t ever compare God with man. Whatever He says He creates.
Numbers 11:13
Numbers 11:18-31
Don’t ever compare God with man. That’s where we lose most of our battles.
They say this stage 5 cancer, well “I’ve written my will. If God could heal me He would have healed me when it was stage one”. Now that you’re His instructor, tell Him, “God if you were smart enough as I am You would have healed me when it was stage one”. God doesn’t know stage. Any day he steps in, He reverses situations in your favour.
John 11: 39-41
- Next Sunday you will see this God in full scale manifestation.
UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON AND MISSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
One major mission of the Holy Spirit is to facilitate fulfilment of prophecy.
The great Commission was handed down in Matthew 28:18-20 but until the Holy Ghost came, they could not find expression.
It was a prophetic mandate given to the disciples but that mandate could not be realized until the Holy Ghost came. One core mission of the Holy Ghost is to facilitate fulfilment of prophecy.
Acts 1:8
Now a Word came down to Mary from an angel of the Lord.
Luke 1:34-35
The Holy Ghost facilitated the fulfilment of that prophecy.
Luke 1:30-34
Every prophetic agenda is executed by the Ministry of the Holy Ghost. We need to get to that point and know what God uses to fulfill prophecies. The prophetic Word concerning the golden age of the Church cannot be fulfilled by power or by might.
Zechariah 4:6
Skill is utterly limited, strength is irrelevant. When it comes to divine agenda, the Holy Ghost is the master facilitator of fulfilment of prophecies. That’s why when you start giving glory to yourself, you’re grounded.
A young lady was invited to come to Church by our outreach team and couldn’t make it and told the mother “I want to honour Bishops invitation”. She struggled to find her way here. At the gate the burden she’s carried over the years just got loosed. As she entered the place something like cold water just got through to her.
Nobody prayed for her. It was the Holy Ghost. So this golden age of the Church cannot be realized in the energy of the flesh. It will require the facilitation of the Holy Spirit. In the same vein, God’s prophetic agenda for your life will require the Holy Ghost to bring them to pass.
In other words the prophetic Word concerning the supernatural growth of the end time Church cannot be fulfilled without the Holy Ghost at work.
The end time Church is considered a Church of multitudes, a Church of super multitudes. A Church of kingdoms of Heaven on the earth.
Isaiah 2:2-3
Micah 4:1-2
Churches shall become cities without walls across all nations of the earth and that is only made possible by the Holy Ghost at work.
Now the Holy Ghost facilitates the fulfilment of supernatural Church growth in these last days by the following among others.
1- He comes down as the Spirit of Faith. Every prophetic Word delivers by faith and blessed is she that believeth.
Luke 1:45
Every prophetic Word requires faith fundamentally for delivery.
Joel 2:28
Only the hand of God can deliver the plan of God.
Isaiah 53:1
Every vision is delivered by faith.
Habakkuk 2:4
The Holy Ghost is a custodian of the visions and He is the custodian of the faith so when He comes, He comes down with those forces to deliver Heaven’s plan.
- Somebody’s story is changing.
Hebrews 11:33
All those great exploits of faith culminated in the subjection of the nations. So He is the Spirit of faith and it takes faith to actualize any prophetic agenda.
2- He comes down as the rushing Mighty Wind.
Acts 2:2
The Holy Ghost is God’s mighty rushing wind and will rush any number of people irresistibly to wherever God wants them. So He takes His Ministry of that mighty rushing wind to execute his supernatural Church growth agenda in the Church.
- There’ll be mighty rushings of that wind this week.
Sunday we shall see the Mighty Rushing Wind in effect in Jesus mighty name. So that is illustrated by the wind that came from the Lord into the camp.
Numbers 11:31
3- He comes in as a compelling Sound. A sound that cannot be resisted.
Acts 2:6
Isaiah 5:26-27
Now let’s see how that applies in
Isaiah 43:5-7
His voice commands them to come from any part of the harvest field.
This coming Sunday we will see a full scale manifestation of that sound in testimonies.
Furthermore the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Wisdom that empowers our outreaches to be fruitful. We examined that during the course of the month in our teaching series.
Proverbs 11:30
Daniel 12:3
He is the one that convicts and converts sinners.
John 16:7
Joel 2:28-29
Thank God for the conviction rate that signs and wonders engenders.
Churches that play down on signs and wonders are totally limited in growth. People have real life problems. They need real life solutions.
Matthew 11:28
Any Ministry that does not celebrate signs and wonders by the Holy Ghost is limited in growth.
Habakkuk 3:6
- Well there shall be eruptions of signs and wonders this coming Sunday.
- People will just step through the gates in their cars delivered.
A family of four came down here with tuberculosis, terrible one. They sat down in Church and the thing just left. After 30 minutes the husband looked at the wife, the cough had gone. Their family left them to die but God gave them life. The four of them were delivered.
Somebody came down here with prostrate cancer, they brought him to Church. The Holy Ghost came on him and that was it.
Everyone that steps here on Sunday, every issue of unrest in their lives will be terminated here.
Your job and my job is to partner with the Holy Ghost to ensure that everyone we invite will show up and in using every technology at our disposal to reach out to them.
Now we can’t do what we’re expecting on Sunday but we can depend on the Holy Ghost to do it and He will do it.
Holy Ghost come down to our harvest field as a rushing Mighty Wind with Your compelling sound and draft in multitudes like You did, bring in the birds into the camp of Israel.
Luke 11:13
Lift up your right hand everybody and give God thanks in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
