BUT THERE IS NO MEDICATION FOR LONG LIFE.

NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN BUY LONG LIFE, ONLY THE COVENANT OF SCRIPTURES.

YOUNG PEOPLE BE CAREFUL, AN INSATIABLE CRAVE FOR MONEY IS THE HIGHWAY TO THE GRAVE.

“I MUST MAKE IT BY ALL MEANS” WILL LEAD YOU TO MAKE HELL.

THE PURSUIT OF GOD IS THE GATEWAY TO FORTUNE. JUST KNOW HOW GOD BLESSES AND CONNECT.

PURSUE AFTER GOD AND GOODNESS AND MERCY WILL BE FOLLOWING YOU, PURSUE THINGS AND EVIL WILL FOLLOW YOU BECAUSE THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

WE HAVE A MAJESTIC RIDE THROUGH LIFE BY OUR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING CONCERNING THE ISSUES OF LIFE.

• Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Day of Long Life || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service.

Proverbs 4:7-8. Wisdom is the only way forward. Spiritual understanding of issues is the master key to triumphant living. Psalm 45:1-3. We have a majestic ride through life by our spiritual understanding concerning the issues of life. I want to pray that this revival time will bring all of us into realms of spiritual understanding that will engrace all of us to ride prosperously and majestically through life.

• May no one miss the wonders loaded into this season.
• May each one’s star come alive in this season and may those stars keep shining everlasting.

Prayers: Ask Him for greater and greater lights to keep coming our way this season.

Heavenly Father, thank you for another great time in your presence. Jesus, we are all here at your feet waiting to receive from you, let no one leave here without a touch from you. Church Gist. Let light break forth and let that light reposition us to make the most of this season in the name of Jesus Christ. No one shall disappoint destiny. No one shall disappoint God.

UNDERSTANDING THE BLESSEDNESS OF A REVIVAL.
A revival is no gimmick for Church Growth, it is a supernatural platform for our change of story. Proverbs 21:16.

What is in a revival that we call a blessing?

1. Every revival is a platform for the supernatural restoration of our redemptive rights.
   Joel 2:25-26. It is the season of restoration. Church Gist. We have been called to glory and virtue but we are not seeing it so revival comes in to set the stage for our restoration.

• The days of shame and reproach are over in your life.

1. It is a season of express answers to prayer
   John 15:16. Acts 12:10.
   Revival engenders express answers to prayers.
2. Everlasting mountains molesting and resisting the destiny of God’s people are scattered in a revival.
   Habakkuk 3:2,4,6.
   Those are things that happen in a revival, 22 years of death siege over in a revival. Death in two-two years and four siblings were lost within eight years over. Church Gist. Those are born in a revival that is blasting every everlasting mountain standing against you as you engage.
3. A revival is also a season of divine favour.
   When revival broke out in the Upper Room, they were praising God and having favour with all the people.

• No more misfortune. Favour with all people favour in your business.
  Psalm 102:13-15.
  Fearful favour is part of the things that attend to God’s people in a revival and nothing flies like favour. Church Gist. 50 years of labour will not be equal to one day of favour.

1. Revival triggers the flow of signs and wonders like water.
   Where you find young people who are just growing up in the faith raising the dead and all kinds of signs. I met one young chap in Faith Academy many years ago, he brought another chap to me and said “Sir, I prayed for him and he is trying not to be healed”. He knew how to pray for someone and He was in Year 2 of secondary school. Joel 2:28. Mark 16:17. Signs and wonders flow like water in a revival. Church Gist. Somebody took acid and said it is water. They tested the content of the bottle and it was acid yet he didn’t die. He drank acid for free. Amazing things. Someone said they stole his car and the prophet’s mantle is in that car so he said let it begin to burn now. High temperature, they parked the car and ran away. Those are things you experience in a revival. When He pours out His spirit on all flesh then you know it is a revival not just Bishops, not just founders, not just pastors. Joel 2:28. That’s what we are having. I got on the phone with someone who is 93 years old in the U.K. and he was just flying in the spirit. The voice was strong, he is in this service right now he is hearing me. Church Gist. That’s a revival, you have an 84-year-old lady still jumping up and down in service not sitting down to be worshipped. That’s a revival.

• Your life will not lack the supernatural anymore.

1. Another big thing that happens in a revival is the unleashing of financial fortune.
   A revival provoked a renewal of our giving life. They were selling houses and lands to give in that outbreak of the upper room. When you step into the realm of sacrificial giving, you come into a realm of financial fortune. You are not struggling, you come into a sworn blessing. Church Gist. You are not just offering sacrifice, you are a living sacrifice. A revival destroys the self in you and enthrones God. Financial fortune, That comes to only those He can trust to use this fortune for His kingdom.

Young people be careful, an insatiable crave for money is the highway to the grave. “I must make it” you must make heaven or hell. By all means, if I see free money I will steal it. If they catch you, you will spend your days in imprisonment. If they land you with 20 years imprisonment what remains of your days? Labour not to be rich. Proverbs 23:4, 10:22. Riches have wings. No matter how strong a police officer are, you can’t stop a plane in the air. These things, you can’t be running on foot and catch something flying in the air. Just know how God blesses and connect. His blessings maketh rich and add no sorrow. Church Gist. There are many tension-free people in this Church today that money means the least to them yet they are blessed. My wife reminds me that somebody gave us a property somewhere. I can’t remember. I think I forgot the same day. The pursuit of God is the gateway to fortune. Pursue after God and goodness and mercy will be following you, pursue things and evil will follow you because the love of money is the root of all evil.

• It is your turn to step into the realm of financial fortune.

1. Divine health and longevity is part of the blessings that accompany a revival.
   Do you know why? The spirits of men are stirred up to serve God in a revival. Exodus 23:25-26. Psalm 6:3. I had a sage the other time in Ilesha at 126, they are part of the blessings of being in a revival. There are people here that by being in this service, 15 years are added to you. Church Gist. Some 20 years are added to you. Many will not know the meaning of sickness and disease again. They are part of the blessings in a revival.

Luke 19:44
Revival is a time of divine visitation. When you plug into it, you just tap into all these blessings and there are so many of them. We have been in a revival here by grace and things just keep following. We had the humorous blessing, the Vice Chancellor just came back from Abuja, JAMB Compliance Award. Covenant University is first. First with a loathsome amount of 75 million. Number 2 is 15 Million and number 3 is 10 million. Unto him that have shall more be given. Church Gist. Do we need it? No. We have not been in need once in 20 years of running Covenant University just excellence on every side, not playing games. I am yet to give someone a note in my life for admission. I don’t have a candidate. You go there and sit for the exam if you pass good luck. I have never stood to appeal to anyone rusticated from that university. I don’t have the moral right to do so. Don’t kill yourself pursuing vanity. You want your life to have meaning, Code 633 will give meaning to any life literate or illiterate, learned or unlearned. You are the one God is talking about.

What is a revival? A revival is a move of the Spirit among God’s people of all age groups culminating in a supernatural turnaround. It is your turn to experience an unexplainable but undeniable turnaround in your life.

How do I know when I am in a revival?

1. When praying Kingdom advancement prayers become a delight, then you are in a revival.
   When God’s kingdom occupies the first place in your prayer life. Matthew 6:10. When you are in a revival, that is your priority on the prayer altar. When that becomes an aftermath you are not.
2. When one is committed with an undying passion to see souls saved, you are in a revival.
   A revival is the stirring up of the spirit of God’s people to do the work of God. God’s number one mission on the earth is to see souls saved. He came to see souls saved and he will not return until everyone hears the gospel. When you are committed to that then you are in a revival. Romans 1:16. 1 Corinthians 9:16. When that becomes a driving force behind anyone’s life. That individual is in a revival. I want to believe that this revival fire will not burn out in your life. Remember God said I the God of wonder double is visiting you and I will remain in your midst as long as you want me. A lot of changes of story take place in a revival but not all of them last. Whatever God does is everlasting if we take responsibility. If we don’t it is our fault. A revival is an addiction to following God and His word. As long as we are following Him, He won’t stop making us. When we turn our back, He turns His back on us. He wants everything that is made to happen in our life to endure forever but that is by taking responsibility. Church Gist. You stop praying Kingdom advancement prayer and He stops advancing you. You stop in your soul winning endeavour, you stop winning. You stop giving, you start begging. 1 Corinthians 15:58. It’s not any devil, it is when you stop God stops. As you keep pursuing after Him, goodness and mercy will keep pursuing after us. When we stop pursuing Him, other things can pursue after us. Grace to keep going, receive it now in the name of Jesus. A revival broke out in Judah and King Asa was in front of it but he backed out after 20 years and trouble began. Church Gist. There was a revival in the days of Zechariah and Uzziah was at the centre of it. He was moving until he stopped after 52 years and he got into trouble. Grace for continuity in the pursuit of God, receive it now in the name of Jesus. I believe I got initiated in a revival in 1976 and I am still burning. I am still panting to see souls saved. I am still panting to see them established in the faith. The same grace God brought the way that has kept me to this point and I believe will keep me for life comes upon every one of us. You never tell a story of when you used to serve God. Serving God will remain your delight for life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Today is our Covenant Day of Long Life. Psalm 89:34. Jeremiah 33:20-22. That means God’s covenant with the redeemed is as binding as the covenant with the day and the night. What happens is what we make happen by where we stand in the word. What will never happen is a result of where we are standing against the dictates of the word. Everybody wishes one another on birthdays “long life and prosperity”. You can’t wish anyone a short life and he will say Amen. A long, blessed life is good. Genesis 24:1. There is no point in hurrying to go to heaven, we are going to be there forever. God had a covenant of long life with His people. Psalm 91:16. Church Gist. Keep your love for God aflame, let it be with proof. Prove the sincerity of your love at all times. Paul was a mad lover of Christ and he went to heaven as Paul, the aged. Philemon 9. He cheated death several times, how? Paul the lover. Paul the lover became Paul the aged. Psalm 91:14. Long life works for those who love Him. May your love for God never fail. May God remain the delight of your soul forever.

Money can’t buy a long life. It’s one of the vital products of the covenant.

Keep serving God, Kingdom stewardship is an open-ended platform. Anna was serving God on the prayer altar, we can’t tell when she left but we know when she was 84. Serving God in truth and in deed prolongs life. Loving God you don’t pay for it. Isaiah 55:1. Serving God does not require that you have a suit or shoes. Job 36:11. You don’t go down because of age. You don’t go down because you are getting older. It is a long life with long-lasting blessings. Genesis 24:1. That’s how sweet that covenant is and when you get into it consciously, productively and truthfully, you have committed God. Church Gist. There are people here today that will remember today many years to come that serving God increases blessing. Serving God does not prolong suffering, It prolongs blessings after the order of Abraham. Abraham went home at 175 and the Lord blessed him till the end of his life. Psalm 105:42. Jeremiah 6:16-17. Isaiah 41:8. Love is the cord of friendship. Abraham, my friend. James 2:23. Being in love with God gets us satisfied with long life. Psalm 91:16. When village boys eat, they ask them are you satisfied? They say no! They went more even when the tummy is big. Hezekiah said I am not satisfied and he got 15 years more.

• Everyone appointed to death reading this is liberated today.

The following are the demands of the covenant of longevity:

1. Be born again. Which makes you a seed of Abraham and an extension of Abrahamic blessings. Galatians 3:29. Be born again, no assumption. Church Gist. Except a man be born again, he cannot see what is in store for Him in the kingdom. Genesis 13:14-15. The new birth is the number one step to every covenant of scripture.
2. Stay in love with God.

Matthew 22:38-40. All the covenants of scriptures deliver on that platform, “thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart”. So stay in love with God. Every true lover of God ends up a beneficiary of the covenant of longevity. Church Gist. The man Solomon was in love with God and stepped out of being in love with God and calamities began to come. Stay in love with God. Let your love for God be unconditional and He begins to lavish you with all His blessings.

3. Remain committed to serving God and the interest of His kingdom.
   Remain committed and among all blessings is that the number of your days, He will fulfil. He will step in and ensure no devil terminates your life.
4. Stay free from the fear of death.
   Why? Jesus had destroyed him that had the power of death that is the devil, so as deliver all of us who would have been in the fear of death all of our lifetime. Hebrews 2:14-15. Stay free from the fear of death, it is like a fear of shadows. Revelation 1:8. Jesus has the key, not the devil. The devil has no power to terminate your life. Jesus has the key to hell and death in His hand so your life is saved. Isaiah 49:25-26. That’s God, He means what He says and says what He means. No one here is permitted to die young. Just keep doing those things, jealously guard your salvation. Jealous guard your love for God, and jealously guard your commitment to serving God. Some naysayers will try to discourage you but don’t let them. Some people wanted to disconnect Elisha from Elijah but he knew where he was going and when He came back, they bowed down and worshipped him. There is always the realm of mockery before the realm of glory. Jesus despised the shame and see Him now set as Majesty on High. Hebrews 12:2. Church Gist. Somebody was giving towards transportation and another person who is a member and believer is saying it is too much, are you the only one? What’s your problem. The husband said that’s a very good thing. The wife said that is what God laid in her heart. You just find people just roaming about. I am not giving to the course of the gospel, I am a gift to the gospel. Me, the whole me. Somebody said what is your ambition? I said ambition? It is a long time since I heard that word. Ambition or achievements. I don’t believe in it, I believe in ‘engracement’. Church Gist. You can’t be anything by any effort of yours. You can only be what the grace of God makes you to be. Paul said I am what I am by the grace of God. When you stop acknowledging that grace you start suffering disgrace. “You see I schooled in Harvard” and so what? Are there not those who schooled in Harvard and are now mad. “Well, I have been in 20 nations” okay, keep going. You are a good traveller and there are many other countries. The moment you start counting on your skill, you have killed your future. Count on His grace, my friend. What have you that you have not received? That’s what keeps a man going with God knowing that you are worth nothing. John 15:5. People just over celebrate themselves only to end up in captivity. You will not suffer such in your life.

The good news is death, untimely death has lost the battle over your life. Anything you refuse to fear cannot befall you. Death does not merit your fear. Hebrews 2:14. You cannot be in bondage again through the fear of death.

Be committed to a life of joy and rejoicing. Longevity is a function of strength. Nehemiah 8:10. Joy is the covenant therapy for sound health. Proverbs 17:22. Don’t break your strength, be committed to a lifestyle of joy and rejoicing. You are sitting in heavenly places, they laugh there, they don’t bemoan there. Maintain your holy laughter. You are laughing at the devil who lost it all. Maintain a lifestyle of joy and rejoicing for increasing strength which elongated days. Because of strength, the number of your days can be anything but if there is no strength you will be the one praying to go. Joy and rejoicing helps to maintain increasing strength in our system. May everything that punctures joy be far away from your life.

There are three channels of joy: (1) Salvation, they call it the joy of salvation. Galatians5:22. Psalm 51:12. (2.) Being baptized in the Holy Ghost. When the Holy Ghost came they thought they were drunk because they were just basking in joy. They were not drunken, they were filled with the Holy Ghost. The kingdom of God is not in meat and drink but joy in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a stirrer of joy. (3) The word of God. Jeremiah 15:16. You don’t have any cause to lack joy. One, you are born again, the joy of salvation is there. You are filled with the Holy Ghost and you are feeding on the word. The joy of the Holy Ghost is there. Church Gist. I pray that from today your life will never suffer drainage of joy anymore. The seventy returned with joy. If you are going after souls, you are just erupting in joy because when one soul is saved, there is great joy in heaven. What you sow you reap, you have joy also. Watch, every genuine soul winner is ever joyful. Pressing for Kingdom advancement stimulates joy.

• From this day forward, nobody will have any reason to ask you again “what is wrong?”. Your look will no longer be wrong, the joy of the Lord will permeate every area of your life.

Whenever challenged, take the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of the devil. 2 Timothy 1:12, Ephesians 6:16. Declare the word of God boldly and God will confirm it openly.

We have this book titled FULFILLING YOUR DAYS, let me tell you the history of that book. It first came out as Power Over Death. People were scared because death has power as far as they are concerned. Long life, Your Heritage, that’s okay but it is softer than Fulfilling Your Days. I did a seminar on victory over death in 1983, death came to try me out if I knew what I was saying. The seminar concluded and I was going to make a trip and then this foul spirit entered the room. The place was turning, inside me “Satan you lie. I got that light from God”. My wife will be able to tell the story, everyone was running up and down but I was rested. Any revelation truly received enters your spirit man. My spirit man just said from inside “what are you doing here? I have no business with you “ I stood up and went to the bathroom, had my shower and travelled. Same day. Church Gist. So receive the truth in your spirit man, don’t just be one person gathering things to go and teach others. Gather it in your spirit man. Get it for yourself. I have had some good times with death, in his attempt he is tired. You have what it takes to wear him out.

• Anyone now on any hospital bed and they have given you the verdict of death, that verdict is now reverted.
• If you are in your home waiting for the date they set for you, God’s date is superior to the one they set. Therefore be loosed in the name of Jesus.
• Every terminal disease represented here in this service today is rooted out of your body.

Every time you identify a covenant, reach out for the terms of that covenant and meet them. We serve a covenant-keeping God, He will never back out of His word. Expect your package to be delivered.

Acts 20:32. So we pick our inheritance from the word. Our inheritance is only accessible and deliverable through the word. So your package of longevity is thereby delivered. No one here will ever bury any of their children.

• Your family is now declared a family of longevity. It shall be said of your lineage “they don’t die young there”.

I know there is a lot of medication around the world but there is no medication for long life. What they do is to give a death certificate ”this is the end” but your God has an agenda to satisfy you with long life. Church Gist. Psalm 91:14-16. A revival is not a religious activity, it is a platform for our supernatural change of story.

For all of us who are a part of this operation as the Lord lives, the same God who is lifting this Commission from one level of glory to another will lift you also and keep you moving forward. Church Gist. We are in the last week and the eleventh hour. Grace to make the most of this season in pursuit of souls, receive it now in the name of Jesus.

• By the impartation of the word today, I decree the seal of long life over everyone today.
• Not a burdensome long life but a most blessed long life. A most refreshing, fulfilling and exciting long life. Church Gist. That you remain a blessing till you draw your last breath.
• You will live behind a heritage of following God. Your children will follow suit in the name of Jesus.
• No one under the sound of my voice today will end up in a shrine or a cult.
• I come against every scourge of untimely death in your family.
• Just like through Joseph, He preserved a generation of Israel. Through you, I decree that God preserves your lineage. The days of mourning are over in your life.

That young man said, “Enough! I am now 41. I will not go the way others have gone”. He went to stop the deaths with the truth of longevity from the book Fulfilling Your Days, now he celebrated 50 years. The siege is broken.

• Every satanic siege in your family, untimely death inclusive is declared over today.
• Be blessed. May the blessings of a revival outlined begin to find expression in your life.
• The days of sorrow and mourning are over in your life.
• The days of begging to survive are over in your life.
• You are leaving here today with a release of favour upon your life.
• No child in the womb is permitted to die. No more miscarriage. Church Gist. Nothing dies in your hand anymore. Nothing dies in your business anymore. Nothing dies in your home anymore.

Your Saviour is holding the key of death and hell. Therefore feel safe. You can’t have a Saviour who has the key and death wanders into your life.
