GOD IS EVER FAITHFUL, STOP TRYING HIM, START TRUSTING HIM
THE FIRST STRIKING MIRACLE OF MY LIFE WAS ADMINISTERED TO ME BY ME BECAUSE I DEVOURED MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN LIKE A RAVENOUS WOLF.
SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS IS A RISK. SPIRITUAL EMPTINESS MAKES A BELIEVER VULNERABLE TO SATANIC ASSAULT.
PEOPLE MUST BE FILLED WITH LIGHT FOR DARKNESS TO GIVE WAY
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Operation Change of Story, Prayer and Fasting Day Four.

We must endeavour to know what we are praying for and what is required to make it happen. The Church is maturing, we must come to know what is required so we target our prayers on what we must do to make it happen. Thank God for what prayer does but what prayer does cannot do what going out does. Pray to ripen the fruits, go to gather the fruits. They all have their functions. Passion to pray-1, passion to go – 2. You need passion to go to school, you also need passion to study to make your going to school fruitful. Church Gist. You don’t only need passion to go to Church, you need passion to learn at the feet of Jesus and go and put it to work. Otherwise, it won’t work. We don’t only need to learn what to pray, we also need to learn what is required to make our prayers happen. Do you want them to be established in the faith? Let them hear the word and put it to work and set their feet upon the solid rock and no matter the storm, no matter the rain, they will be found standing.
- Somebody’s story is changing.
The first striking miracle of my life was administered to me by me. I devoured Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John like a ravenous wolf. Three months after my salvation, I had this horrible affliction of tuberculosis. I woke up that night and I saw all the folks drew their beds away from me and I felt like a leper. I stood up and went on a rock just behind that dormitory. Church Gist. “Jesus if it is true that you did all that is reported in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, do it now” and it vanished. You need the word to be established in the faith. So it’s not that somebody is manipulating me, I saw the word in action.
So if you want them to be established in the faith, they must not be empty. Spiritual emptiness is a risk. Matthew 12:43-45. There are those who are born again and where they are now is ten times worse than before they were born again. Church Gist. Luke 11:24-26. Spiritual emptiness makes a believer vulnerable to satanic assault. People must be filled with light for darkness to give way. The thirst of our new converts and members for the word is our security, our continuity, our stability. It has to be there.
For our new converts to be established in the faith demands a craving for the word, the entrance of light that will keep darkness at bay. Psalms 119:130. It demands that they believe the word that they found and they are able to ward off every dart of the devil.
Finally, it demands that they practice the word. So access to the word and practicing the word is what guarantees establishment in the faith. Access and practice. James 1:23-25.
- Your days of dryness are over.
So let’s pray with a sense of covenant responsibility. What must I do to be established in the faith for life, crave increased access in the word. Crave increased grace for word practice. You will be stable, the storms of life won’t make any meaning to you. You will be the same in season and out of season. That is what guarantees establishment in the faith Church Gist. So when we pray for new converts to be established in the faith, we are blocking the door against satanic manipulation. Satan no more, lose your grip off him, enter into him no more. We are helping him against the forces that are stronger than him on the outside. It’s a brand new day.
- The next seven weeks will be heaven on earth for many, you will be included in that many.
The greatest events of this ministry were not pursued after. They were just colourfully added as we kept pursuing these seemingly unnecessary things. Matthew 6:33. Learn from it, it is your Church. If you don’t believe my testimony. Believe the one of this Church. If there is pressure you will know, you will hear the drowning on the pulpit. Church Gist. If there is struggle, you will hear it in the announcements. You will hear the struggle in special meetings going on everywhere. No single struggle and yet never stranded. God is ever faithful, stop trying Him, start trusting Him. For there is no shame to them that trust in Him. Matthew 6:33.
- It is your turn to experience God in a way you have never heard about.
- The days of pity are gone for good.
- The days of asking what is wrong, never again in your life.
- Everything will go right because you will start working right.
Praying kingdom advancement prayer is every believer’s responsibility. Shying away from responsibility makes you a liability. Don’t wait to become a prayer project. Engage in Kingdom project and you become an asset to those around you, to God in heaven and to your family. Let’s take that responsibility and let’s pray with passion. Anytime you are praying and you seem to forget what you are praying about. Stop! “What is wrong with me? Where is my heart? Where are you wandering to? I am back Jesus. Thank you Father”.
Don’t wander away and stay there wandering. If you find your mind wandering, bring it back. Say with me “No more absent-minded prayer in my life from henceforth, it shall be heart born, continued prayer that makes unusual things happen in my life”.
Prayers – thank God for the sweetness of knowing Jesus. That you are guaranteed answers in prayer, give Him thanks for that.
- The fire in you will never burn out. It will keep burning higher and higher every day.
When I looked at Hagin and I said Jesus, whatever makes Hagin, Hagin I want what he has. It is wisdom to know what you need and find out who has it and desire it from them. Since they didn’t get it for free, you can’t get it free. If you carry half of the passion I carry, you will just go out and bring them. Some will pray and not move, some will not pray at all and wait for it. From now on you won’t be an onlooker anymore. There is a stadium in Texas that has 85,000 capacity. Church Gist. Only 22 people are playing and 85,000 are watching. You don’t win a medal for watching. You will never find a star fan or spectator. Please enlist as a player, not as a spectator. My grandmother said those who are been watched don’t stand aloof watching. You are the entertainer, don’t become like the entertained. Take your stage, fill the stage we don’t have all the time.
Prayers – Let these seven weeks ahead of me rewrite my story: Bye-bye to sickness, Bye-bye to diseases and sickness, bye-bye to doubt, bye-bye to carnality.
- This prayer season will mark the dawn of a new day in your life.
