WHEN YOU FEED THE POOR, YOU CAN NEVER BE POOR!
-Bishop Wale Oke at Holy Ghost Convention 2021: Abundant Rain
Day 2, Evening Session
*As we are celebrating Holy Ghost Convention, we want to celebrate it for them in the Remand Home, at the Motherless Babies Homes, at Agodi Prison, with the poor.
*People that cannot pay us back.
Abundant rain means a season of revival. It means a season of refreshing.
When we talk of abundant rain, it is a time of divine visitation – Ezekiel 34:26
A time when sins are forgiven. Jesus Christ still forgives sin, He shed his precious blood not to cover sin but to blot it out. When revival comes, He forgives sin, so you are free from guilt, condemnation.
-Every weight of guilt and condemnation is removed from your life.
-No matter what had happened in the past, receive liberty, receive forgiveness, receive cleansing in the name of Jesus.
When we talk of abundant rain, it is the season where the Heavens are opened and when the Heavens are opened, prayers are answered – Isaiah 65:24
When your prayers are answered in a hurry, who among us doesn’t pray? Even the heathen do pray. When people get into trouble, they pray.
When we are talking of abundant rain or abundance of rain, it means abundance of God’s mercy that makes Him to answer our prayers before we call. He knows what is in our hearts, He knows what we need and then doing it before we speak.
-Tonight, in this House, your prayers shall be answered… Verily your prayers are answered.
Mark 9:23
As always, His promises come to pass. The promises of God are ever Yes and Amen, it cannot fall to the ground. Heaven and earth can pass away, not a jot of His Word shall pass away.
- Tonight is a night of possibilities. Things will move in your life. Valleys shall be fixed, yokes shall be destroyed. Your tears shall be wiped. In the place of tears, you will go home with joy.
Abundant rain is a time where all things are possible. It is a time when the Spirit of the Lord is moving, locating somebody, to lift somebody’s burden, to break somebody’s yoke.
He is glorified when you are blessed.
-Somebody in this house, you will experience the amazing goodness of the Lord.
-That thing that the enemy had used to place a burden on you shall be moved today. You will laugh and laugh.
The time of abundant rain is the time of total restoration, full restoration, abundant restoration.
Who among us has never had anything stolen from us? John 10:10.
Many of you her, cast your mind, something precious to you has been stolen by the devil at one time or the other.
- Somebody here, you used to have a flourishing business, the enemy attacked you and brought the business down. In your spirit, you came down, because it involved a lot of your investment, your money. You are under open heaven, you are under abundance of rain, you are in a season of refreshing tonight.
-All your losses are restored. - I command full restoration, total restoration, abundant restoration.
Listen, to this, the devil devastated Job for being a pride to God. God was beating His chest over Job.
When you are prosperous, the devil is angry. When you know who you are in Christ, the devil is angry. He wants you to be ignorant of who you are, of what God has done for you. Church Gist. It is an abomination for a child of God to be afraid of the devil. Jesus did not defeat the devil on the Cross. Jesus destroyed the devil on the Cross. He destroyed him that had the power of death. His destruction on the Cross is irreversible, there is nothing he can do about it but he doesn’t want you to know that. He doesn’t. He wants you to fear him.
I was reading a scripture two days ago, when the Lord told me, if you feed the poor, you will never be poor.
Repeat loudly: if I feed the poor, I will never be poor.
I reminded us in our 30 day fast into this Convention, to set aside the cost of your breakfast and the cost of your lunch each day for the 30 days and we are going to pull it together. As we are celebrating Holy Ghost Convention, we want to celebrate it for them in the Remand Home, at the Motherless Babies Homes, at Agodi Prison, with the poor. People that cannot pay us back, we want to give them a good celebration.
Psalm 41:1-3
“Blessed us he that considereth the poor”: in their project, they plan for the poor.
They don’t just wait until when they can give a funny 100 Naira to a beggar. They plan it.
Who among us doesn’t get into trouble? When you consider the poor, before the time of trouble comes and then you will see how God will stand for you.
Corona virus came, corona virus is going, corona virus is gone: I am here: Not because I am smart. I don’t believe in the conspiracy theory or some people who said corona virus is not real: ‘Enikan lo mo, ko ni kan’ (only those that were affected know, it won’t be your turn). The people that were affected know corona virus is real.
I don’t care who is speaking against it, you better follow scientific advice. Science does not contradict faith. They work together.
“The Lord kept me alive”: corona virus or no corona virus.
-You will not die before your time.
One of the key enemies of destiny fulfilment is untimely death.
Whatever your dream, whatever your vision, when death comes, the dream is over.
The Lord will keep you alive.
Many years ago, I think 1993, I was going to Lagos to preach, there was a dear brother in Ibadan, very lovely brother, he was a Preacher and a Medical Doctor. Very passionate man of God, ministered healing, deliverance to people, God was using him. Then he became ill, critically ill, kidney problem and we prayed. We prayed. We went to pray for him, anointed him in 1993. When I was pulling out of my house, driving to Lagos, they sent an emissary to me that the brother had died. I went back to their house, struggling, I was asking the Lord, “Why?”
Anyway, I resumed my journey again, I asked God a thousand and one questions, then I got to Lagos. Then the man of God I went to preach for gave me a room in his house. He set the table, I couldn’t eat.
I said: Don’t you know so and so?
He said, “I only heard about him, I don’t know him.”
He passed. Then eat.
I said: No, I just lost my brother. I was asking God.
He said, “let me show you your room.”
I got to the room, I didn’t sleep, I was asking God questions; “Lord, give me an answer.”
The Lord didn’t tell me anything about the man who died. I remember it like yesterday and He did not tell me anything about the man who was hosting me, asking what was my trouble but the man was going to die a few months from there. A violent death.
-You won’t die a violent death.
God saw I was not going to give rest for hours, because that is what I know to do: a little speaking in tongues here and ask God questions – enquiry.
God answered me about me. He didn’t answer me about the man who died, He didn’t answer me about the man who was about to die. He answered me with Isaiah chapter 46 verse 4
Isaiah 46:4
Every man to his own destiny. Leave the one who died in Ibadan to Me, leave the Man in whose house you are in to Me, I didn’t catch that something was going to happen to him.
We know in part, we prophesy in part. A Prophet who claims to know everything is a liar, only God knows everything. I know what He reveals to me, the secret things belong to God.
Miracles happen naturally when the power of God comes on you.
Isaiah 46:4 – it became a covenant to me.
-Tonight, you are under the shadow of His wings that this Ministry carries. You will live to a ripe old age.
-You will not die before your time.
-It doesn’t matter what happens, it shall not come near you.
-Whatever the enemy has planned and packaged to eliminate you before time, the Lord will deliver you in the name of Jesus.
