THERE IS NO POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION IN THIS CHURCH. NEVER HAS ANYBODY BROUGHT MONEY HERE BECAUSE HE/SHE IS CAMPAIGNING FOR AN ELECTION OR HAS THE GOVERNMENT GIVEN A DIME.

OUR SUPPLY IS NOT FROM EARTH, IT IS FROM HEAVEN.

I TOLD ALL MY CHILDREN THAT THEIR INHERITANCE IS MATTHEW 6:33, WHATEVER THEY DESIRE IS IN THERE.

I AM SOLD OUT TO GOD. EVERYTHING I OWN FREELY GOES TO GOD WITHOUT A PINCH.

GOD KNOWS THAT MONEY IS REQUIRED IN SPREADING THE GOSPEL.

“MY HOUSE THROUGH PROSPERITY SHALL YET BE SPREAD ABROAD” – ZECHARIAH 1:17.

WE JUST FINISHED AN INDUCTION COURSE FOR MISSIONARIES GOING INTO THE 54 NEW NATIONS WE ARE ENTERING THIS YEAR.

BELIEVE ME, THERE IS NO STRESS. THEY ARE GOING WITH DOLLARS, NOT WITH NAIRA.

• Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Day of All Round Rest || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service.

Every genuine act of obedience commits God’s integrity to fulfilling His word. For everyone who has been a part of Operation Reach for the Stars whether on the prayer altar, in reaching out to souls and following up challenged Winners, in the name of the Lord Jesus, be openly blessed in return. Be openly blessed in return. You have gone outside the gate bearing His reproach, every form of shame and reproach is rolled away from your life. You have come manifesting your love for Him, everything around your life that may not be working now, I command them to work for your good. Daniel 12:3. Therefore I decree a rising of your star in your various areas of endeavours. In the precious name of Jesus, you can’t be part of the growth and not be a partaker of the glory. Church Gist. I decree that everyone who has been a bona fide part of the growth, be a partaker of the glory. I decree that everyone here committed at one level or another to become a partaker of the glory. Of all our new converts in this season, you are declared established for life. Jesus will be sweeter to you than any other thing, you will make heaven at the end of your journey and you will live a most triumphant life below. Jesus unto you be all the glory for all we have seen.

Would you ask God to speak to you today because this is the last in our teaching series for this month.

Thank you Father, let no one return without an encounter from you today in Jesus’ precious name.

• As the Lord lives, the month of August will not pass before every age-long bondage on your health will become history.
• The scourge of death shall come finally to an end in any family.
• No young person shall be buried in this church anymore.

UNDERSTANDING THE BLESSEDNESS OF A REVIVAL.
Life in the kingdom is an adventure of opportunity orchestrated through encounters of the word. The word never misleads, the word leads the way forward. The opportunities are not things we jump at, they are things we follow as revealed to us. Life in the kingdom is an adventure in opportunities orchestrated by encounters in the word. Jesus the living word comes around knocking on the heart of people “I have this package for you, are you interested”. Church Gist. Revelation 3:20. Every revelation is a knock on our hearts to see whether we are interested. Nobody keeps knocking on your door forever. “Is anybody in? Anybody in? Oh they are not in” he passes on. You can’t find somebody knocking on your door for one day, it is for a moment.

Songs of Solomon 5:2-7. Once there is a knock on the door, dive or you miss it. Jesus knocked on the door of Peter, He led Jesus into the boat and that opened his destiny. Luke 5:2. Despite his frustration, he let Jesus into his boat. Bartimaeus only heard that Jesus is passing by. He took his opportunity, he cried and they said shut up but he cried louder and got back his sight. Mark 10:52. The paralytic man said “I heard Jesus is in town, please take me there”. They said there is nowhere to pass, he said open the roof. We will repair it later, this is my opportunity and I won’t let it pass me by. There is a revival going on here. You better not go to sleep. Church Gist. You better be awake out of your slumber. It comes along with heavy blessings that no effort or lifetime labour can access. Life in the kingdom is an adventure in opportunities orchestrated by word encounters. A word comes and you dive and then it becomes an asset. It is commonly said that “opportunity comes but once”. There is no time Jesus ever entered another man’s boat and said “launch out into the deep. Only once.

Every time we open the door to the word, a new chapter opens for us. Hebrews 3:7-8. This book never lies, it is the truth, you can do nothing against it but for it. Church Gist. Take it or leave it. We are in a revival, it’s not for jokers, for serious-minded believers.

What is in a revival?

1. A season of opportunities for our healing, deliverance and restoration of health.
   It comes along with a revival. After Jesus returned in the power of the spirit to Galilee we saw amazing things happen. He was in the temple, Matthew 4:23 and healing all manner of sickness and disease among the people. Luke 5:26, Mark 2:26. Supernatural healing, deliverance and rescue. So we are on course, as the Lord lives not one trace of sickness and disease will remain on anyone’s body by the close of August 2022. Church Gist. You live triumphantly over every sickness and disease the remaining days of your life. Every age-long bondage of sickness and disease shall be scattered. It is one of the diverse opportunities that we have in a revival. All kinds of healings, people are getting it here every day. You will receive your own.

The man at the Beautiful Gate that was crippled, his ankles received strength and He began to leap and praise the Lord. He was made perfectly whole. The Bible calls it perfect soundness (Acts 3:16). That is what you are having, perfect soundness. Sound liver, sound lungs, sound intestines, soul eyes, sound kidneys.

2. Revival is a season of opportunity for a supernatural turnaround.
   Habakkuk 3:2,17-19.
   Supernatural turnaround is part of the package in a revival.

• As the Lord lives, no matter where you may be today. God is set to release your own turnaround.
  Zephaniah 3:17-20.
• All that ever mocked you because of your walk with God must turn around to envy you this year.

2. Revival is also a season of financial fortune for God’s people.

That is the realm in which your church is working, no begging, no borrowing, no bribery telephone calls, yet swimming in financial affluence. God knows that money is required in spreading the gospel. My house through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad. Zechariah 1:17. God said, “I will prosper my people in a revival and those who are my trustees shall be partakers of this fortune”. Haggai 2:8-9. Luke 16:11. Matthew 24:14. We just finished an induction course for people going into the new nations. Church Gist. We have 54 nations we are going into. Believe me, there is no stress, clean and total truth: there is no stress. They are going with dollars, not with naira. There is no stress. Don’t let naira exchange baffle your life, just have plenty of naira and you will buy any currency. It is a season of financial fortune for those who engage with the delightsome demand of a revival.

In 1984 October 3rd, we were about 6 of us who were leaders in that our little church, we needed #3000 to pay the rent for our facility. I said if I had this money, God won’t appeal to me to give it. A time is coming when some of us will take off in the air and you say we don’t know what they are doing. Let me tell you what I am doing. I am sold out to God. Everything I own freely goes to God without a pinch. I don’t feel it. So I am in fortune. One dime of your Church money is not part of it. Will you be glad to know that I am not a signatory to your Church account? I have left that a long time. You better wake up, who needs your money? God is looking for channels that He can push His money through. Malachi 3:18. God is looking for financial trustees that He will turn into channels of His abundance. What have you that you have not received? God never takes advantage of anybody. God cannot be eyeing what you have. He gave you in the first instance. I am not owing a dime to any mortal man since 1976. This is what we have been pushing, the kingdom. God likes me and He likes many people that are here, you better join the group of the likened. If there is no fortune how can you be doing that kind of project without stress on leadership, on memberships, on pastors, on deacons, on no one. Church Gist. It is not a joke. We are in the era of financial fortune, young people will rise on a clean slate of covenant advancement addiction and be thrown into the skies by favour. Somebody who has a problem giving tithe is that the one who will invest? He has a problem giving tithe out of 40,000 is that the one that God will give four billion. He will run away and serve the devil because of what He has. There is no political contribution here. Never has somebody brought money because he is campaigning for an election or the government given a dime. Why are we like this? Coro came and there was no effect because the blessing is not from COVID. It is not from the earth. This heavenly thing is real.

Luke 16:11.
The end time wealth is an entrustment, not an achievement. God just sees you as a worthy vessel and He pushes His fortune through you. 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Don’t let money rob you of eternal life. I told our children that I have given them their inheritance. Matthew 6:33 is your inheritance. My spiritual, my biological children, my will is not what you are looking for, it is not kept away somewhere. If you need anything go to Matthew and collect it. That is where your inheritance is. Whether land, vehicle, aircraft anything is inside that place. Church Gist. The code is 76633. I caught it in 1976 and it is in Matthew 6:33. I give it to all of you, go and use it. It is your free gift from God. I brought no dime into ministry, He said to me “carry no purse, not script, I can’t be depending on your small kobo to run the assignment I give to you. I pray that poverty will be as far from you as the East is from the West. Start from where you are. Be faithful in your tithing of #10, it will soon become a million.

Revival is a season of opportunity for the rise of giants. We saw the picture of that in Ezekiel 37:10. Dry bones, there was nothing about them that portrays a future but as they responded to the prophetic word the giant in them came alive. Ezekiel 37:10-17. Joel 2:1-11. That is the kind of giants that revival gives birth to. Church Gist. May you be listed among them. They are visionaries, they love to be in the centre of the plan of God. They are not waka-about people. They know where they are going. Somebody’s story is changing.

Finally, it is a season of supernatural restoration. A season of opportunity for supernatural restoration. Whatever the enemy has stolen from you, it is your season to get it back sevenfold.

What are some of the biblical proofs that one is in a revival?
2 Corinthians 13:5. We are to examine ourselves based on the scripture whether we are in what God is saying or not. Can you be a giver and not know? Can you be praying kingdom advancement prayers and not know? Can you be going after souls and not know? You know. What are the proofs that one is in a revival?

1. When one’s heart begins to pant after God and the interest of His kingdom as a lifestyle, that one is in a revival.
   Psalm 42:1, Matthew 6:33.
2. When working in the fear of God becomes one’s new way of life.
   “Jesus I must please you, pleasing you is my goal” then that one is in a revival. Isaiah 66:1-3. I had that question posed to me in 1979, in those days when places to preach, they asked questions because there were not many people. Church Gist. Psalm 112:1-3. Those are the things that come along with the fear of God and they are your portion.
3. When praying kingdom advancement prayers become one’s natural delight.
   It is your delight, you are not struggling with it. Matthew 6:10. When it is your natural delight, you are not stressed to do it. Then you are in a revival.
4. When one is consumed with undying passion to see souls saved he is in a revival.
   When getting more people into heaven becomes of interest to you, then you are in a revival. When seeing beyond the natural into eternity is your delight, then you are in a revival. Church Gist. It is not a church programme, it should be a lifestyle.
5. When the word of God continues to come alive in increasing dimensions in your life then you are in a revival.
   Your taste for the word is upgraded. The word becomes sweeter than honey in the honeycomb to you. You just see staying on the word as having your best meal then you are in a revival.
6. When going to Church becomes your new way of life.
   Psalm 84:1. You see it as going to the King’s banquet. Psalm 122:1. When going to Church becomes a natural way of life. You are not being coerced. You are not being pushed, it is just a natural delight. You are driving to Church smiling, it is just your natural delight. You enter into a gallop “praise the Lord”. You are just excited. I am a Church boy. That is where my life is. Psalm 84:7. I never had anybody teach me this, the Holy Ghost helped me out. Do you want to know how weak you are? Stop coming to Church for three months. “Let me pray to God the Father, God the mother” Your language will be messed up. Your spiritual potency is depleted. That is God’s service station. No matter how beautiful your car is, without fuel, it can’t be on the road. Church Gist. You come to Church because you need fuel to stay on the highway of life. So open up when you come, it is the centre of light. Psalm 73:17. There are things you never understand on your own forever. He has placed pastors in the church to feed God’s people with knowledge and understanding so they can increase and multiply in the land. Jeremiah 3:15-16. When going to Church becomes your natural way of life then you are in a revival, you are not going to Church to just show yourself because you are in a service group or something. You are in Church for God and for yourself.
7. When giving towards kingdom advancement endeavours become your endless delight.
   Not once in a while, endless delight. Doing it once and again. You open your life to the channel of continuous supplies. Philippians 4:15-19. Once and again not once and for all. Some have given before and they stopped giving a long time and they are facing the music. If you withdraw your investments from a company, you can’t be asking for dividends. Where are your shares? When giving to the course of the kingdom becomes your endless delight then you are in a revival. Giving to the poor is giving to the kingdom, you are in a revival. Proverbs 19:17. Church Gist. Doing what you are enabled to do by your new level, you are in a revival. I may lose respect with this John if I say to him “you know I love you, this is #5 for you and your family”. You don’t expect that from me, there are things we give to God that it is better we don’t give. Malachi 1:6-9. Church Gist. You check your pocket and bring out rumpled #5 at your level, then when you get home you serve visitors maltina ten bottles. There is a way you give your parents and you attract a curse instead of a blessing. “Mum I love you so much, take this ten naira” She will look at it and when you leave she will tear it. It is better to starve than eat that. How much more God? Deuteronomy 16:17. To the level that you can give. A widow’s mite was rated the highest giving by Jesus. This Church is a school, it is not a religious centre. You are trained to do the right things if you choose to. If you are interested. You will keep doing the right thing all your life.

Three things to operate in the realm of all round rest.

1. Let Jesus into your boat.
   That is your heart, that is being born again and no matter the storms of life, you will remain calm. He will fight your battle and give you the victory. Let Jesus into your heart. Revelation 3:20. When He comes in, no matter the raging storms you will be at peace. Exodus 14:14. He will win the victory and give it to you and they will be clapping for you as if you won. No Jesus on the boat brought the victory. John 14:27. With Jesus in your boat, you are at peace in the midst of the storm. No matter the raging storm just let Jesus into your boat, It can never capsize.
2. Stay in love with God.
   Romans 8:28.
   Stay in love with God to the point of cleaving. Your love graduates into a marital realm. He is the bridegroom and we are his bride. Let your love graduate into that marital realm and the two of you shall become one. He is the prince of peace – all round rest. Deuteronomy 11:22-23. Love is one level, cleave is another level. Cleave! Whatever can’t stop God from having His way can’t stop you. When you become Mrs Jesus your case is settled. Church Gist. All round rest. If God be for us, who can be against us? Wherever the wife of the President arrives, she enjoys Presidential Honour. You step from the realm of love into the realm of cleaving. Your rest is assured at all times. Matthew 19:4-5

• Your rest is established.

1. Enter into a covenant to serve God with all your heart and with the whole of your desire.
   2 Chronicles 15:15.

• The days of apprehension, the days of anxieties and uncertainties are over finally in your life.
  By entering into a covenant to seek God with all your heart and the whole of your desire, the Bible said there was no more war. As you take up these three keys, war comes to an end in your life. 2 Chronicles 15:19. Grace not to shift ground in serving God as a way of life receive that grace now. What we signed on September 12th 1976 was a covenant to make God the season for our lives. It is something you consciously enter into, a covenant is something that is dated, that your heart is connected to. Church Gist. I never saw this scripture then. I was prompted by the Holy Ghost to write that covenant, SAILING UNDER SEALED ORDERS. God must be Lord of all or not Lord at all. I know that I know that some strange highfliers will rise in this church on this platform of lifelong untiring commitment to serving God. I have been jumping like this after souls, long before I was called into ministry. I am not doing it because I am a pastor. Better enter into that covenant today because that is a covenant that guarantees all round rest. Jesus takes over your cares and worries because He needs all of your time and you have committed yourself to give Him all of your time. Church Gist. A friend of mine was asking me in those days what kind of car am I thinking to drive, I said I was not thinking of any. I wasn’t thinking of any. Now see what I wasn’t thinking about being added to me through the code that I have given you for free. I never dreamt of an aircraft in my life. I see them in real life so what am I dreaming about them for? I never had a dream house so I don’t know where you are getting your teachings from. Your life will not be shallow. We are in a season of awesome opportunities.
• No one misses out of this revival season.
• You must be listed among the giants ordained to rise in this season.
• No more one leg in and one leg out for you.
• The Lord will make you laugh and all that hear will laugh with you.

Hosea 12:13.

• I decree your access to the realm of all round rest from this day onward.
• The days of turbulence, the days of perspiration are over in your life.
• Your God shall keep fighting your battles. Church Gist. The last battle you lost because you fought it on your own, now that you have given God His place, you will never lose it anymore.
• No more sickness in your family. You will live your life in sound health. Church Gist. Perfect health.
• Be blessed for your obedience of faith.
• Go places beyond your imagination.
• I command blessings upon your household.
• Only good news for you this year. Church Gist. No more weeping and mourning in your household.
• Your going out is kept, your going in is kept. You are preserved.
• Your obedience of faith will pay you beyond your wildest imagination.
