AS A CHILD OF GOD, YOU HAVE A COVENANT OF INCREASE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS NATURAL TO OVERTAKE YOU.
DR. MIKE MURDOCK WAS COUNSELLING ME ONE TIME AND HE TOLD ME TO BUILD A SMALL HOUSE, I TOLD HIM THAT HE GOT THE REVELATION HE WAS SHARING WITH ME AT THE AGE IF 70 AND THAT WHEN I GET TO THAT AGE I WILL EMBRACE IT BUT NOT AT THIS AGE.
I MADE UP MY MIND, NO MATTER HOW SPIRITUAL THE PERSON FEELS IF HE STARTS TALKING OUTSIDE COVENANT, I WON’T TALK TO THE PERSON ANYMORE BECAUSE IT IS COVENANT I BELIEVE.
YOUR COMING TO CHURCH DOES NOT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE, YOUR SPEAKING IN TONGUES DOES NOT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO STAND WITH GOD.
- Reverend Biodun Fatoyinbo at COZA Sunday
You are wired for increase. When a baby is six weeks old, there is a weight the doctors expect the baby to have if not they struggle. Church Gist. There is a time the baby ought to sit, there is a time the baby ought to stand, there is a time the baby ought to work, there is a time the baby ought to run if at any of these stages there is no increase, it is a pointer that there is a problem. We were wired for increase. Church Gist. Put your hand on your chest and say, “increase is my portion”.
As a Pastor, I see some Christians and they say, “Oh I have a covenant with God” and we all look at it as if it is a special thing. As a Christian, whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not, you have a covenant with God. Church Gist. It is just that you are not aware, you have a covenant with God. In Genesis 17:1-2. The moment God starts to walk with somebody after a while He starts to multiply them and not just multiply them but exceedingly. You have a covenant of increase. It’s not possible for somebody who is natural to overtake you when you have a covenant with God. Genesis 17:3-7, Galatians 3:13, Psalm 89:34. Nothing can be bigger than covenant. If it is not working for me or you then there is something wrong on our side. Genesis 7:17. To be established means to be stable. I prophesy increase on every side for you.
Genesis 3:29. The moment I became born again I became Abraham’s seed.
When I talk about covenant of increase and covenant of prosperity, I am not telling you that you have many examples except you go to America. In America, you see a Christian farmer who is a Billionaire that God has prospered. I have been to a Church before that they don’t take offerings, they have a bowl outside when leaving you can give what you have. The area is in Texas, God told me we are going to have a Church there one day. Bishop Marcus Lamb attends the place. He said to me, he said,”God has so much prospered me, I have five million dollars above TBN”, he said I am just telling you privately.
Say, “I experience increase on every side, no matter what I go through, I experience increase on every side”. Say, ” I have a covenant, an everlasting covenant”. I pray for you, you will not work in vain anymore.
The Bible says, “to every labor, there is profit”, in the Name of Jesus you will not work in vain anymore. If you believe it let your Amen show it.
Say, ” whatever God promised Abraham, I am a recipient”.
Genesis 24:1, “Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things”.
You know people fight to stay in bondage.
Dr. Murdock of which I am tapping of the grace upon his life took me to his house, he bought it at age 30. He was now counseling me to build a small house. I said sir, this counsel you picked it while you were 70, let me do my own too and when I am 70, I will now change when my kids are out.
I was talking to someone who is a member of this church, when I was in secondary school, I heard a story of what had happened in another school in Kwara State. So the son of the President attends the school and the white British lady that was their principal, she was very strict. So the son of the President landed with an helicopter and the woman ordered the helicopter to fly back. That, ” how do you want other children to feel? So I was talking to someone in the church here who was inside that helicopter because the entire dynasty of their family, the whole family were inside the helicopter. Their nurse came to school and found someone with rashes and packed the whole students and went to treat them, cousins and everybody because all of them were rich.
As they were telling me the story, I said this is the way it ought to be. Not that one person is rich and everybody kills him, that is the way it ought to be, everybody is fine.
If as I am talking to you now you are feeling bad, you are fighting something, you know that you need prayers. See, separate yourself from what is going on and say, “it doesn’t matter the way it is right now, I will go for the way it ought to be”. See, ” a journey of a thousand miles starts with a step”. I will take a step now and begin to believe this and begin to confess it and begin to walk in line with it. That is the way to do it. Praise the Lord?
I said to the person, “so you were in the helicopter? He said, ” yeah, yeah, yeah”.
Genesis 13:2, ” Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold”. And all that happened to him was Genesis 12:2, ” I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing”.
What does it mean to be blessed? To be empowered to excel.
Let me tell you, you don’t need another prayer, you need to stop talking to those people you are talking with, you need to stop watching some things you are watching, you need to stop listening to some things you are listening to.
I made up my mind, no matter how Spiritual the person feels, when someone starts to talk things outside covenant, I won’t talk to the person anymore. It is covenant that I believe. I am telling you the truth and I have been through stuff. So don’t think maybe because I am a Pastor, I am shielded from things and then that is why I don’t know how life is. You must learn how to swim against the current. Everybody is going this way, you say, ” what does the Bible say? You swim against them, that is when you are going to stand out. Church Gist. Your coming to church does not make the difference, your speaking in tongues will not make a difference until you decide to stand with God. Say, “I have a covenant with the Almighty God. I am a seed of Abraham”.
When my wife and I get to any hotel, the protocols already know that I repeat that prayer like I am reciting a poem, “Father, thank You for this room, thank You for this entire hotel. The seed of Abraham is here, evil is forbidden here”. Did you see how Jesus who knew that healing was not allowed on Sabbath day. So when they invited Him to that church, one of the things He signed to preach in that denomination was, ” no healing”. He said, “okay, okay” but He saw a lady whose back was bent and struggling and Jesus could not stand it. I can imagine Him saying, “if you don’t want to invite me in this church, don’t invite me anymore”. “Ought not this woman being a seed of Abraham, by our covenant she shouldn’t be carrying this”. ” I have to keep covenant, be healed”. Some of us don’t know exactly what Christianity is all about.
28 years ago, 30 years ago, this is the way I was raised as a child of God.
These are things you should listen to. Catholics sing their prayers, Muslims sing their prayers, we just prayed now. Don’t listen to rubbish. Praise God?
Say, “I have a covenant with the Almighty God”. So, I want to say something to you, please let it have a soft landing . It is a violation of covenant to stay on a spot. Say, ” even if I am going through stuff I am increasing in the Name of Jesus”. The Bible says the remnant of the children of Israel will take root downward and bear fruits upwards. It doesn’t matter the stuff I am going through, I am increasing because how high I will go depends on how deep my roots goes to the ground, so don’t judge me yet but any way you calculate it I am going to come out stronger. Hallelujah?
Proverbs 10:22, “the blessing of the makes on rich and added no sorrow”.
Your car is not a blessing, your good wife is not a blessing, good family, good husband is not a blessing, good job is not a blessing, they are the baby products of the blessing. So what does that tell you? The blessing is a producer, the blessing is an anointing, empowerment to excel. ” the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and added no sorrow”, so there are people seated here, not on the internet that don’t believe that there is anything in the covenant that can make one rich, they don’t believe it. But you see, you will know that you will start to have a problem when you see something in the Bible and you say, “Mmmmm, that is God, my own?”, then you are on your own, that is why you have been on your own. Church Gist. That is how Het gets to be called God, what He says? In million years that is where you will meet it. That is how He gets to be called God.
The blessing, not of my father, not of my Pastor, of the Lord makes one rich. You see they didn’t put anyone’s name because your name can be put there now, and adds no sorrow. Why did they put this there? Because also the blessing of the devil, please don’t be deceived can make one rich but a lot of sorrows will be added to it. So the Bible says in Deuteronomy 8:18, “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day”. That power is ” blessing” and empowerment to excel. There is an empowerment that makes you get wealth but the word “get” is wrong. The word “get” is the same Hebrew word used in Genesis 2:7, “that God formed man from the dust of the ground”, the word ” formed” and “get” are the same Hebrew word. So, it is not collecting from people. It means God gives you the power to make wealth.
So what happens is not that I find money under my pillow, under my boot. What happens is, I just have an idea…, look at Telecommunication, imagine the finance coming into this country from telecoms. It didn’t exist 27 years ago, it is new, somebody created it. Isaiah 45:1, “Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus who’s right hand I have held – To subdue nations before him and loose the armor of Kings, To open before him the double doors so that the gates will not be shut”. God can endorse you; so subsequently what will happen when God does that? Verse 2, ” I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron”. God can go before you; before you graduate, He makes sure you get the right job. Before you marry, He makes sure you marry the right person. He makes sure you live in the right city. He goes before you, He minimizes your mistakes and maximizes your results. Where others are spending ten years to figure out, He goes before you and makes every crooked; in that family, He makes straight for you. Church Gist. He makes it straight and then He breaks in pieces every gate of bronze.
There is a strong man in every family that when provision is coming, the strong man says, “stop”. If you don’t realize that you are a seed of Abraham, you say, ” No, no”. I am naturally from Fatoyinbo’s family but my Spiritual identity is thicker, I am a seed of Abraham. He will say, “ahh, sorry I didn’t know you are aware. Oga, pass”.
Isaiah 45:3, ” I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel”. There are treasures in the dark. Look at your neighbor’s face, you can imagine the damage that has been done. They don’t believe it.
They tied an elephant when it was very young to a tree, it tried to pull it out. When it was older, they took it back to the tree, it stayed. Now, it is big to uproot the tree but in it’s mind, it still thinks that that thing is bigger.
What you suffered before you got this revelation doesn’t matter. Paul said, ” I went up by revelation”. Just like an expectant mother can’t be pregnant today and have the child today, you need to prepare the body, the nose will be bigger, the breast will be bigger, prepared for the coming. Because after the baby comes, the baby needs to survive. So what I am preaching today, it doesn’t mean tomorrow, boom. God will prepare you for what is coming. That is why when you get this one, you will be able to maintain this one. Say, “I have a covenant of increase”. Shut you eyes and say it, ” I have a covenant of increase”. Praise God?
My grandmother made me to recite Psalm 3 every day while growing up. When I was in the University, I came back from a club, time to sleep I will recite Psalm 3, “I laid me down and slept; I awake; for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, Who have set themselves against me all round. Arise, LORD; save me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly”.
Psalm 3:8, “Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people”. Say to your, ” if I am one of His people, His blessing is already upon me”. Say, “I may not acknowledge it, I may not have light yet, I may not believe it, I may be following my experience and not this revelation but His blessing is already on me”. Look at your neighbor and say, ” it’s on you, it’s on you”. Say, “that thing can make you rich and add no sorrow”. Say, ” that thing is upon your life to create increase. It doesn’t matter what people say to you, it doesn’t matter the conclusions of men, if you believe it and acknowledge it, it will change your life”.
Ephesians 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every Spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ”.
If I keep money in the US, in what currency is that money going to be? If I keep my money in England, in what currency is that money going to be? If I keep my blessing in the Spiritual realm, in what format is that blessing going to be? So it doesn’t mean that He just blessed us with only speaking in tongues, No! He put it there not from us but for us. What translates it from the heavenly realm to this realm is Faith, which is the medium of exchange. So If you are the devil what will you do? You knock off their faith. Church Gist. So that they have it, they brag about it, they read about it but it is not on them. Say, “I have a covenant of blessing, of increase, I have it”.
Steps to take:
The first thing to do is to embrace light.
If you did a test; MRI, Eco scan or something and they found a cancer and the doctor says, ” oh, you are clean, you are fine”. Does he love you? Because if you diagnose early, you can do something about it.
So I can come here and say, it is well with you.
And I can tell you, you need this message.
Genesis 13:14, “And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are – northward, southward, eastward and westward”. Don’t lift it later; don’t wait till you are married, don’t wait till you have gotten a new job, don’t wait till the service ends. “Lift up your eyes now from the place, I don’t care how bad it has been, I don’t care how deep you have gone”. And says to him in Genesis 13:15, ” for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever”. So, where you don’t have revelation I can’t give you.
Philemon 1:6, “that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in Christ Jesus”.
Imagine the slum anywhere in Abuja and they wake up in the morning and start saying, ” thanks be to God. I am rich, I am rich”. You will laugh, even you a Christian will say, “ah, are they alright? But that is what the Bible says. The Bible says, ” sing o barren”, when you are barren you shouldn’t be singing but that is the antidote.
You thought it was a mistake that God met Abraham and changed his name to father of many nations and for 25 years, “father, of many nations. Father of many nations”. If you look normal to them then you are not following Scriptures.
Have you ever seen a movie where someone is seeing a personality others are not seeing? It is strange. When God opens your eyes to see what others are not seeing, you can’t be normal. If you are normal, you are not seeing it.
Genesis 26:13-14, “And the man became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished; He owned flocks, herds and a great supply of servants, and the Philistines envied him”. So if you think you know how to operate that people don’t envy you it is because you are not blessed yet
Genesis 30:43, ” Thus the man increased and became exceedingly rich, and had many sheep and goats, and maidservants, menservants, camels, and donkeys”.
You are anointed to stand out. If one person will make it in your family, it will be you. If you believe it let your Amen show it.
Say after me, “Father, I heard Your word and I believed Your word, today I confess Jesus as my Lord and my Savior, I believe Jesus died for, I believe Jesus was buried for me, on the third day, He was raised from the dead. I know the grace of God that how Jesus became poor for my sake, that through that poverty I will become very rich. Everything Jesus did, by His death, burial, resurrection and Ascension, I receive today to human spirit. I receive the gift of eternal life, I am born again.
