WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF OUR MINISTRY THE devil LEFT IRAN AND AFGHANISTAN AND CAME FOR FOR US.
THAT PERIOD, WAR CEASED. IT WAS FROM HERE THAT THE devil RETURNED TO SYRIA.
STOP SAYING ANY CITY IS TOO HARD TO BE WON FOR JESUS
YOU ARE SET OVER NATIONS NOT VILLAGES
THERE MUST BE DESTRUCTION BEFORE CONSTRUCTION, YOU DON’T GO TO A PLACE AND START BUILDING, YOU MUST FIRST PULL DOWN.
WHAT YOU DON’T DESTROY WILL DESTROY YOU.
MASTER SPIRITUAL WARFARE SO THAT THERE CAN BE WELFARE IN THE MINISTRY.
TO POSSESS ANY KINGDOM, NATION AND TERRITORIES THERE ARE RIVERS TO CROSS, ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS ARE AFTER JORDAN.
EVERY LEADER IS ALWAYS AT THE EDGE OF A RIVER TO CROSS.
IF YOUR VISION IS NOT GREATER THAN YOU THEN IT’S NOT FROM GOD.
THE NUMBER BARRIER OF CHURCH GROWTH RANGE FROM 200 TO 350/500 AND THIS IS WHERE MOST CHURCHES STOP GROWING
DREAMS COME BIG SO THAT THE DREAMER CAN GROW TO THAT SIZE, IF YOU HAVE A SMALL DREAM YOU WILL SHRINK TO THE SIZE OF YOUR DREAM.
WE HOLD VIGILS SUNDAY TO SUNDAY TO ENGAGE IN STRATEGIC WARFARE
EVERYONE WITH A GENUINE VISION WILL PASS THROUGH THE RIVER OF FRUSTRATION.
NEVER STOP TRYING IN TRYING TIMES.
WHEN THE ORIGINAL IS NOT WORKING BE CAREFUL, IT IS A TEST.
-Pastor Korede Komaiya on “THE RIVER TO CROSS”at the Church Growth Conference, No Land is Difficult| The Master’s Place International Church| Evening Session| Day 2.
Thank you Father for No Land is Difficult 2022, thank you Father for yesterday evening the first session with Pastor David Ibiyeomie, this morning session with Pastor David Ibiyeomie, this evening session with Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr and now Pastor Korede Komaiya as we close. Father in the name of Jesus, the end of a thing is better than the beginning, thank you Father.
I want you for this final session, to buckle up and get ready, it’s been line upon line, precept upon precept, I want you to know that it is impossible for you to go back the way you came, even if you want to, we will not allow it.
I bring the Word of God briefly to you titled: THE RIVER TO CROSS.
No land is difficult, rivers to cross. Deuteronomy 2:36. Somebody say with me: Not one city is too strong for us. No City is too high to take, please leave with this mentality, no city is too high to take, such city does not exist. No matter how close a city is, God gives the key to you, there is no city that is inaccessible.
- I therefore prophesy to somebody Deuteronomy 2:36 becomes your testimony. Please lift up your right hand and repeat after me, in the mighty name of Jesus, beginning from today, Deuteronomy 2:36 becomes my testimony and what is that, no city is too strong for me, no city too high for me, no city is too accessible for me, where others go and they don’t get result, you will get result. Where others go and fail you come back not just with success but exponential success.
You can become irresistible, you can build such spiritual capacity, no city can resist you, I’m speaking to only those who believe, may that oil rest upon you. Now, after this meeting no city will be able to resist you, all the gatekeepers there must bow, all the territorial forces there must bow, if nobody has ever made it there, you’re the pace setter. ChurchGist. You want your obituary then resist us, you want to die quick then resist us, you want to be finished on time then come against us, no city could resist us.
You must be drunk with this mentality, I believe it with every fibre that I am irresistible, you resist me at your peril. I want you to help me announce to somebody close to you, I am irresistible. ChurchGist. Stop saying this city is so hard, in fact David said God showed him mercy in the strong city. Lift up your right hand and say with me: I receive mercy in the strong city. Psalm 31:21. Say with me, in the name of Jesus, beginning from now I receive mercy for every strong city, in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit I receive mercy for every strong city.
Within the first three or four years of Masters Place here, Satan left Iran, he left Afghanistan, if you check it that time all war ceased around that time. Satan left Iraq; it was after he finished with me that he went to Syria. Sir, Satan really faced us, he questioned us that we really want to take over. ChurchGist. He asked truly God has given you and you have come, you met me here, all kinds of things started. Jeremiah 1:9-10. I speak over somebody, you are not set over villages, towns and streets, tonight is your commissioning.
I decree that you’re today set over Nations, you’re today set over Kingdoms, upgrade your thoughts you’re set over Nations, you’re set over Kingdoms. Jeremiah 1:10. When were you set? This day. This day is this day. See where we make mistakes, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down and then to build and to plant. There must be destruction before construction, you don’t go to a place and start building, you must first pull down, what you don’t destroy will destroy you. What you don’t pull down will pull you down as a matter of fact, what you have not achieved is a reflection of what you have not pulled down. ChurchGist. You’re forced to pull down before you can build up, it’s like a natural construction, you get to a place and you’ll have to clear the ground, spiritually and physically, Pastor David Ibiyeomie gave us a lot of those tools and then Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr gave us mighty tools, please, in every territory you must first destroy before you build. No destruction then no construction. No land is empty, there are occupants.
I just look at a lot of people, they just walk into a place and they start talking. We have been inviting people for seminars, nobody is turning up, who will come? Why? The forces holding them down have you shattered them? Nothing matters to Satan like souls, ministry is the business of souls, so you think he will fold his hands, do you know the meaning of breaking the 100 members barrier to breaking the 200 members barrier, most churches die at 350-500 members barrier, it is one of the barriers that a lot of people stay for a long time. ChurchGist. Another barrier is a thousand members barrier, you can just be there perpetually, we moved from there to 4,000 – 5,000 members barrier, you can’t just be there perpetually. At every level to construct you just first destroy, to build up you must first pull down, it’s a must.
Master spiritual warfare so that there can be welfare in the ministry, you just master it. Myself and Pastor Triumphant, we were discussing some things before we entered, I can’t even go into the details of how we entered Chad, of all the things we did there. ChurchGist. Vigil in this Church is every day, our Vigil in Masters place here is not the vigil of all church members to come and pray, since I have started Masters place I have not done congregational vigil at all, it is not the style God gave me but Vigil and strategic warfare in this Church, environmental mappings, territorial endoscopy, do you think it’s a joke, Vigil ends in this Church 6am on Sunday, it is Sunday to Sunday and on Sunday the first service starts by 6:45. We shed blood every day, the vigil finishes around 5:00 – 5:30, we serve communion to the land.
Sir, if you don’t pull down and you’re building up you’re wasting your effort, there are wasters everywhere, they will waste your effort, even God said I have created the waster to destroy, there are devourers, effort will amount to nothing. Line all your programs, do all you want to do, where will you even see the money. You don’t know Satan, one of your assistants can just wake up and be saying anything against you. ChurchGist. You know Satan entered Judas too, an assistant can just wake up and say we don’t know what our master is using.
Probably he entered your office one day and you picked an A4 paper and you’re like is there a stain on this paper and you’re trying to blow away the stain with your mouth and he enters and he is wondering (it’s Satan organizing everything) the meaning he will read to that thing is Satan, before that time Satan is already building up some level of offence in him. ChurchGist. Your adversary the devil, you have to pray for the heart of people working with you, so that the enemy will not have access to their heart, because you can’t get Jesus without a Judas and all those forces are around, you don’t know the lives of how many pastors have been wasted, effort wasted. You don’t know how many people Master’s place met in this town? They are not near it sir. You must first pull down; you need a heart. You think Satan is joking, for your enemies to mean battle more than you makes you a victim, sir, they mean to scatter the Church, they are not joking, they mean to scatter it, they mean to limit you. ChurchGist. They will look at you and tell you that you’re saying God has given you this land, you and that God, we will show you, are they not rebels that feel, so what are you talking about?
- I speak over somebody Jeremiah 2:10, that anointing rests upon you from tonight.
We are going to pray for two minutes, Jeremiah 1:10 again, I have this day set you over the Nations and I’ve the Kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant, speak it over your life.
Repeat after me, in the mighty name of Jesus, I have this day set over Nations and over the Kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, then to build and to plant, thank you Father, I am now commissioned, please be seated.
Deuteronomy 9:1. Hear oh Israel, you’re to cross Jordan today, to possess it, to possess any Kingdom, Nation and territories there are rivers to cross, all your possessions are after Jordan. ChurchGist. Jordan is the bridge between the wilderness and the promise land, your promised land is the vision, you’ve seen a glorious vision. Jeremiah 1:10 is a vision, you’re now set over Nations, you’re now set over Kingdoms but there are rivers to cross. All the Nations and Kingdoms you’re to possess for God are all after Jordan, every leader is always at the edge of a river to cross.
Thank God that we’ve been given a lot of strategies, so I’m just going to look into 3 rivers to cross tonight and then we move into Impartation. For example, the river of faith, you have to build your faith, the river of creativity, there are all rivers to be crossed, the river of innovation. ChurchGist. We looked at the story of the Eagle, the river of change or death. Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr gave us 9 rivers to cross, all the Kingdom and the Nations that God has given you, they are after Jordan and you have to cross. Please, don’t fear crossing you have to, as for crossing, it’s a must and the city you’re going to possess, they are greater and mighty than you but they are not up to the God inside you, so don’t fear them. If your vision is not greater than you then it’s not from God, dreams come big so that the dreamer can grow to that size, if you have a small dream you will shrink to the size of your dream. A small dream is not from God.
RIVERS TO CROSS.
- THE RIVER OF FRUSTRATION AND WILDERNESS.
Ministry is so interesting and everyone will go through this river. You need to understand this, a wilderness is a dry season, a wilderness is a trying time. Please listen, I will never assume everyone is at my level now. No! You must understand what the scripture says, even though your beginning was small, your latter end will greatly increase and that is why you can see everyone sharing their stories. ChurchGist. One of the greatest rivers is the river of frustration, everyone genuinely called will pass through, when the original is not working and the fake is prospering. You see yourself preaching the truth and you see people doing fake things and they are doing well. Sir, that thing brings a lot of frustration, you will even question yourself, you’ll question your calling and you know Satan, he will move close to you, he will tell you do you know that in my life I have never lied to you, is it not clear to you that you’re not called.
Everyone with a genuine vision will pass through the river of frustration, where nothing you preach reflects it, you preach deliverance and everybody listening to you knows you need deliverance, you preach prosperity and people look at you and know that you need help, as poor yet making many people rich, as truthful but they see us as deceivers, it’s a time of frustration. ChurchGist. Never stop trying in trying times, you must let difficulties know that you’re difficult. Every vision will go through it, every leader will go through their wilderness, the time of betrayal, they can dagger you, you’ll try to gather and they will scatter, your calling will be tested that you’re saying you have a call, prove it.
You preach principles that are not even answering for you but by faith you believe, I am sent to tell somebody, you’re just at the edge of Jordan don’t give up, just take another step and take another step before you know it the test is over, welcome to the other side. ChurchGist. No examination lasts forever, we are not there yet but we are not where we used to be, somebody is listening to me now, you’re going through the wilderness period and your testing times. You know when you’re not successful people will advise you, now that it’s not working.
I remembered when we started here, somebody came to my office. He happens to be the richest person in this Church then. We have a lot of him now, the money he had then is nothing now, then we were just about 96 and the children were about 25. Everywhere was looking scanty and I called him twice to lend us money so that we can do service on Sunday. When we receive offering, we would give you the money back, because we couldn’t buy fuel, we couldn’t buy anything, I gave my wedding ring. The Church accountant came to meet me and said tomorrow is Sunday service and there is no money yet to do many things. I said except you put for sale on me to go and sell me, there is nothing I am doing. ChurchGist. I was thinking the man has some spiritual understanding.
I called him and said please can you give us maybe #25,000 so that we buy diesel and do some other thing, he did it and he didn’t collect the money back. So, I said in my heart this person has understanding, I didn’t know I was finishing myself gradually. Three weeks after I called him and told him that we need 120,000 and as at that time my foolishness has increased and he sincerely gave me, two weeks later he came to my office that they will be leaving the Church and that sir this thing is not working, he said all these things you’re saying is not working and now that is not working why don’t you stop using A.C, stop using generator and during Sunday service let them open the window, clap your hands and do your service. ChurchGist. You know when you’re a failure they can lecture you, I was looking because I have to be looking and listening, I am the one that has borrowed money twice, I caused it but it’s a test, it’s a wilderness, it’s a season but thank God I didn’t give up, thank God I persisted, thank God I continued, don’t let anything discourage you. Sir, don’t give up on your dreams, when the original is not working be very careful it’s a test. It’s God that said give, when you give and it’s not working it’s a test. It’s God that said pray and you prayed and it’s like you’re not answered, listen it’s a test.
Hold on tenaciously, I implore you by the mercies of God, a lot of Ministries that should have been global died in the wilderness of frustration, today a lot of pastors have lost their health, lost their lives, lost their families, you keep hearing them say but God, you called me, what is this. I don’t know who you’re, in that wilderness tonight may help locate you.
