WHERE WE ARE HIS GRACE BROUGHT US HERE AND WHERE HE IS TAKING US TO ONLY HIS GRACE CAN TAKE US THERE.
PLEASE TAKE DELIGHT IN SHARING THE ACTS OF GOD. THERE IS NOTHING CONFIDENTIAL ABOUT THE WORKS OF GOD.
GOD HAS NOT DESIGNED LIFE FOR UPS AND DOWNS BUT UPS AND UPS. THAT IS HIS AGENDA FOR EVERYONE OF OUR LIVES.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Hour of Prayer || 28th May 2022
Lift your two hands and magnify the name of the Lord for all the testimonies all through the week.
Now please listen: every unshared testimony stands the risk of being lost. You are ashamed of the doer, don’t expect him to do the next. You eat up His goodness of yesterday, don’t expect His supply for today. Most times people think it is too small that is why they end up small. You share the small, it multiplies. Please take delight in sharing the acts of God. There is nothing confidential about God. Church Gist. This man used to give testimony of a blessing of #500 as President and Founder of this Church. Kept going, you don’t lack what you share, you only lack what you keep. There is nothing you are qualified for but by grace. Please lavishly share your testimony. Jesus is still the master story changer. Every change you notice is worth sharing. When you share it, He preserves it.
I must confess and I am before the Lord. I have not heard from heaven, the way He helped me to hear from Him in the last 40 days. I have heard things I have never heard of from the mouth of God. In the name of Jesus, it will be clear to everyone that you are serving a living God. There is no single Winner that engages in this operation as the Lord lives who would not have a story to tell.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the help we have received as a church over the past few weeks since this operation began. Receive our thanks in the name of Jesus. Thank you for what you are about to make happen tomorrow before our very eyes. Take all the glory in Jesus precious name. Speak to us this morning and let your word find a free course into our lives in Jesus name.
AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK.
Habakkuk 2:1-3. Genesis 21:1-2. This operation came on and latched on to the forty-day post-resurrection visitation of Christ. The purpose is to trigger your own and my own change of story to the next level. No one shall be left behind. Church Gist. Today is the last full day of this operation and at the end, it shall speak, may you be found actively on duty because your package is on the way. The angels are already ascending and descending the ladder of heaven. Your package is on the way.
We have been trying to answer the question – what must we be doing as we drive to the end of this operation?.
- We must retain our joy of harvest in the pursuit of this operation in order to see it fully delivered in our midst.
You as an individual must retain the joy of harvest so that your 4 souls will not be lost in the last minute. Joel 1:12. Beware of losing the joy of harvest. Keep the joy of harvest alive in your soul and in your spirit and then you have full delivery of the harvest God has given to you. Looks small but it can get what anything else can’t get. I once told you a story of a car problem we had on our way from Ajaokuta Park in Lagos on our way to Kaduna. Church Gist. Only the contact set had a problem, not the engine, not the gear. The car could not move. Somebody came and brought a screwdriver, opened it and closed it and we went on. So one minor thing can get you grounded. At the end it shall speak, don’t let no devil steal your joy and rob you of your blessings.
Let me make reference to this now, our outreach team always erupted in some strange joy every time we return from the field. When they clap I want to close my ears, it is not just clapping. The joy in the clap amplifies it. Endeavour to maintain the joy of harvest. Church Gist. We were out last night and we are yet to hit our target, I told them to unfold that we are going somewhere else. We exceeded the target. Nothing energizes like true joy, not mechanized joy. Please retain the joy of harvest, it is one way to preserve our results.
- We must continue to acknowledge the source of the signs and the wonders in our midst.
Who is that source? Zephaniah 3:17. Every act of God is a result of a mighty manifest presence of God. Mark 16:20. Behind every miracle in our lives, behind every sign, every miracle as we minister from place to place is the product of the manifest presence of God. We must continue to acknowledge this God as the source of all the miracles in our midst and by so doing, he keeps multiplying them. When we continue to give Him the glory, we have committed Him to preserve the growth. Malachi 2:2. You want His hand behind the growth to be sustained, let us continue to give him the glory. Church Gist. Our results are not a product of our effort but the backing of the almighty God. The builder of His Church. The backing of Jesus – the owner and master builder of His Church. Where we are His grace brought us there and where He is taking us to only His grace can take us there. If the growth must be preserved, we must be addicted to giving Him glory for where we are.
Prayers: Lift your hand and give Him glory and praise for His wonders in our midst. All the wonders in our midst are the doings of Him and Him alone deserves all the glory.
Remember “… The Lord added to the Church..”(Acts 2:46) who did it? 1 Corinthians 3:16. The planting and the watering mean nothing without the increase so at the end of it, it is still God. You can’t multiply yourself. Jeremiah 30:19. Behind the increases, behind the addition and multiplication is God. He deserves all the praise. He deserves all the glory. Church Gist. No church can grow behind God. Except the Lord builds the Church, they labour in vain that build it. No Church can experience growth with Jesus. Matthew 16:18, Hebrews 3:4. Give this God a big hand of praise. He enjoys it when we acknowledge Him. He enjoys it when we recognize Him.
I am introducing you to a mystery this morning that will just spark something in you. We serve the God of overnight wonder. Between now and tomorrow morning, this strange God with His strange acts will step in. When He steps in, His acts are unimaginable. We serve the God of overnight wonder. Exodus 11:1, 12:12-14. God stepped out in the night and when He struck with His judgment, Exodus 12:28-31.
This night everything holding down anybody from serving God shall be judged.
That was how the siege of 430 years ended. The God of overnight wonder just stepped in.
Every single convert that the devil is holding bound, every single member of this church that they have disconnected by one reason or another to afflict them, tonight the God of overnight wonder will step in.
Set them free and recover their destiny. God struck in the night and their liberty was established in the morning. Church Gist. The Church in the wilderness was born. It was a product of the God of overnight wonder. He released these captives from Egypt and turned them into a Church in the wilderness. Acts 7:38. We will see wonders tomorrow. That overnight operation rescued 3 million people out of Egypt.
Every single person who has said Yes to Jesus through our massive Operation Change of Story shall be here tomorrow.
2 Kings 7:1-2, 6-7. No gun was shot. He made them hear a noise. Tonight all the enemies of this agenda will hear a noise. They will fade away from their hiding places. They will hear a noise from heaven. The noise of God that will send anybody fleeing. The abundance of tomorrow shall be a reality. Church Gist. So lepers took over the camp, they ate and ate and carried gold. Lepers led the nation to a solution. Humorous God. People will wake up in the morning and say I must go to Canaanland. There is no bus, I will trek. That is what will happen tomorrow.
There was this arrogant king, the king of Assyria. He was greater than everybody else including God in his eyes. He thought it was the other nations with mere idols. He was talking about the living God without knowing. 2 Kings 19:20. When you hear “thus saith the Lord”, you better take cover. Do you believe God has heard you? 2 Kings 19:21, 35. One angel went out one night and brought the pride of the King of Assyria down. One angel, each of us has an angel. This Commission has its agenda. Church Gist. Every opposition to this agenda will smell. 185,000 soldiers were slain without an arrow. The King of Assyria fled and his two sons killed him. Whatever won’t let your own four-level dimension of change of story come through shall be slain tonight in the name of Jesus.
We saw the story of Queen Esther. Esther 4:16-17. She asked the whole of the Church to stand in prayer and fasting and she went in with her life in her hand to the king against the order and found favour because God answered the prayers. The humourous God turned the table against Haman. Esther 6:1-11. One night the King couldn’t sleep and he asked them to read the book of remembrance to Him. Church Gist. Everything that was sent to destroy the move of God in this Church at this time shall be publicly humiliated. The Church was set free by an overnight intervention from heaven. The King could not sleep on the night the Church was in trouble.
The devil said we must stop this move, Paul and Silas were held up in prison to be brought out to be killed so they could stop the move of God. At midnight Paul knew by the revelation of the God of overnight wonder, they began to sing and praise. Church Gist. The God of overnight wonder stepped in and the foundation of the prison was shaken. Any force trying to stop this move shall be openly and publicly humiliated. Acts 16:25-27.
- Unusual open door tomorrow morning.
- A massive influx of souls tomorrow morning, the kind never recorded in this Church tomorrow morning.
So we have this God of overnight wonder all the way from the Old Testament to the New, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. This night there shall be mysteries on open display. Psalm 19:2. Some things will break forth overnight tonight that will put the devil to flight. Church Gist. This God of overnight will also fight your course. The same way that my daughter of thirteen years waiting just like a dream of the night crossed the Red Sea. Everyone is crossing the Red Sea tonight.
We all know that stagnant water stinks, no one’s life shall be stagnant anymore. That is the meaning of new dawn. From tomorrow’s service, no one’s destiny shall know a standstill anymore. From tomorrow the key for a new dawn shall be handed to us. Luke 5:39. This book the Bible carries an unfathomable depth of news every day. News from heaven is embedded in scriptures.
- No one’s life will suffer stagnation again.
- You will not be trapped by tradition, you will keep changing level by revelation.
Proverbs 4:18.
- No destiny here shall stink anymore.
For every single member of this Church, the same way this Church keeps changing level over and over again, I caught that light from Proverbs 4:18 – I have not designed life for ups and downs but ups and ups. That’s God’s agenda.
From this day forward, your own life shall be up and up, from one level of glory to another.
This Church has changed phase. God has changed the level of this Church. God has changed your level. I once said it by the Holy Ghost that the highest concentration of giants in the history of mankind shall emerge from this Church. That is what God has ordained for us and that will come as we keep serving God with delight. This God never lies. I have not added one thing to Jesus all my life. Church Gist. I have not looked for any other source of help in my life, this God never lies. The devils can’t reach too many of us in this Church today by virtue of the kind of light we are working in. This God never lies. Protection for free, progress for free, longevity for free. Jesus already paid for it. Strength and vitality for free, everything from Jesus for free.
Lift your hands and give the Lord thanks and commit the day into His hands.
