DURING THE CORO EPISODE, THEY SAID THERE WILL BE NO PLACE TO BURY PEOPLE IN AFRICA, NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CROWDED PLACES ON THE EARTH TODAY AND IT IS A CORO-FREE ZONE.
THIS IS A NON-FLIGHT ZONE FOR CORO. THEY CAME HERE EN MASSE FOR SHILOH AND RETURNED CORO FREE
THERE IS NO MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTRE ON EARTH THAT CAN DIAGNOSE SATAN
MOST OF THE AFFLICTIONS ON OUR HEALTH ARE OPPRESSIONS OF THE DEVIL, MOST NOT ALL.
I DON’T CARE WHAT EDUCATION YOU GAVE A CHILD, IF YOU DON’T CONNECT HIM TO GOD, YOU HAVE LOST HIM.
I HAVE NEVER ADDED A DIME TO ANY OF OUR SONS OR DAUGHTERS WORKING IN THIS MINISTRY, THEY EARN WHAT OTHERS EARN AND THEY BLESS ME TODAY.
YOUR YOUTH IS THE TIME OF RESPONSIBILITY.
FROM TWENTY YEARS UPWARD YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOME OF YOUR LIFE.
PARENTS CAUTION! STOP PUTTING ADULT SONS AND DAUGHTERS ON YOUR LAP. YOU ARE NOT BUILDING, YOU ARE DESTROYING.
WE ARE IN A VERY TERRIBLE ERA WHERE ADULTS ARE PUT ON THE BACK OF AGEING PARENTS TO BREAK THEIR BACKS.
I WAS 16 WHEN I CAUGHT THE WORD THAT IT IS GOOD FOR A YOUNG MAN/WOMAN THAT THEY BEAR THEIR YOKE IN THEIR YOUTH (LAMENTATION 3:27).
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Day of Escape || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service. Here we are today, the first Sunday of August. He has kept you and me from January through August. Give the Lord praise. The Lord said to me “don’t limit me to your fourth service, every time my word is preached, people believe it, I am there to confirm it” so watch out for your miracle. Every word session is a miracle session. Matthew 4:23, Luke 5:17. Church Gist. Every session, every service all through this month as God begins to stir the pool shall be made whole of whatever plague. This is your service. God will silence your enemies. The arrows of sickness and disease will return to where they came from. Hereditary disease will end here.
Prayers: Lift your hands and ask God for your own encounter in this service.
Lord visit each one of us in a most unique version and grant each one of us an encounter with your word that will open a new chapter in our life. Church Gist. Make whole everyone under any form of affliction. So shall it be.
I like to encourage the youth in particular, to take their time and be part of this Convention. Why? You are in your age of discovery. You are in the age of discovering where you belong in the race of life. Joel 2:28. You are in the age of strength. 1 John 2:14. You are in your age of responsibility. From twenty years upward you are responsible for the outcome of your life. Parents caution! Stop putting adult sons and daughters on your lap. You are not building, you are destroying. Stop! Stop! That is not success, that is failure. I have never added a dime to any of our sons or daughters working in this ministry, they earn what others earn. They bless me today. Stop! Your worth is not your inheritance, it is your accomplishment. Church Gist. I have never asked in my life, how are you paying school fees for your children, you have to. Push them out, they are in their age of discovery. Push them out. I started building my Christian library when I was twenty. They are in their age of discovery.
At 16, I caught the word that is good for a young man that he bears his yoke in his youth (Lamentations 3:27). We are in a very terrible era where adults are put on the back of ageing parents to break their backs. I don’t care what education you gave a child, if you don’t connect him to God, you have lost him. IYAC 2022 is for all youths in this church who want to make some meaning out of their life. I started attending conferences when I was 16 and I am still attending. God is not slow, I heard it in 1970. So my life was prepared for the patience of faith in the race of life. Church Gist. Faith without patience will lead to crisis. Hebrews 6:12. I have never borrowed, I am just patient. I am comfortable at every phase I am, when I am set for the next He takes me there. That seed was sown into my life when I was 16.
- In the precious name of Jesus, every single youth here will beat their parents in terms of impact and they will still be humble.
Youths, it is your turn. From twenty years and above, those who didn’t know what to make as a choice perished in the wilderness. So from 20 years and above, everyone that will not take responsibility will go down. You will not go down. All of us are youths, Abraham saw a vision at 75, Moses saw his own at 80 and only young men see vision according to scriptures so they were all young men. Church Gist. So Midweek service for the week is swallowed up by IYAC and we are going to be having feet washing for dominion. So get ready, don’t say it is for youths. Deuteronomy 18:15. At 80, you can get your own vision. As your feet are washed wherever the sole of your feet steps upon, you will be celebrated.
Our teaching series for the month is captioned WALKING IN DOMINION OVER SICKNESSES AND DISEASES. Man was created for dominion. Genesis 1:26. We are created for dominion, it was lost in the first Adam and returned in the second Adam. Psalm 110:1-2. Sickness is an enemy, death is an enemy. 1 Corinthians 15:26. Sickness is an enemy and death is an enemy. Remember the man who planted and while men slept, an enemy came and sowed tares. Every planting that is not of God is the work of an enemy. So don’t play with them, they are your enemies. Put up a fight of faith against them and they will leave you alone because faith never returns defeated from any battle. Our anchor scripture is 1 John 5:4. Please note; that sickness is an enemy. Death is an enemy. Ephesians 6:16. From this day on, the enemy no longer has his way in your life. Church Gist. Jeremiah 30:17. God’s will is to restore and this day many shall have their health supernaturally restored. By the fire of His word, every terminal disease shall be consumed. Our God is a consuming fire so when the word goes forth under the anointing, it consumes every chaff. Therefore today expect that every chaff of sickness and disease, plagues and torment come to an end in your life. God’s will is to restore health to me and to heal me of all my wounds. So whatever sickness has wounded in your body shall be healed today.
The weapons of our warfare are not physical but spiritual even though we walk in the flesh. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. Our weapons may look ordinary but they are mighty. They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. I read a testimony yesterday and it is so humbling. This fellow had a spinal cord challenge for years and they brought him down here and by the word, he jumped up and started walking. Church Gist. Somebody’s story is changing. Everyone the devil has planned to kill is recovered today. Every death sentence on anyone’s life because of one plague or another is averted today.
Ephesians 6:12. Our battle is not against physical things so we need spiritual weapons to deal with them. Never allow any devil to despise the weapons that you carry. Goliath said am I a dog that you come to me with a sling and a stone? He said you are less than a dog. This thing will prove it and I will show you now. It may look ordinary but therein lies the power of God to do the impossible. Let me quickly mention this; all through scriptures, you never find any healing testimony that is not triggered by faith. “Thy faith has made thee whole”. There is no one made whole by a cry, it is always by faith. Lazarus was dead and four days in the grave and Jesus said “did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God ”. That means faith can bring anything back to life. What is faith? It is tapping into divine virtue that makes whole. I tried to define that in one of the books, Faith for Exploits. I said faith is a living force drawn from the living word to produce proofs. It is not theory, it is not theology. Church Gist. Theology is dry. That woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of his garment and Jesus said “virtue is gone out of me”. It is a touch of faith that taps. Jesus is the living word so her faith drew virtue from the living word which made her whole. Faith is a living force drawn from the living word to produce living proofs. You never find healing or deliverance without faith at work, otherwise, it is a mechanical deliverance. It doesn’t last, it doesn’t work. Faith in God the builder built this Canaanland. If you ask me till tomorrow I can’t tell you the amount and I have been here all along. You all met me here. Faith in the living word draws virtue to produce living proofs. Mark 5:36. John 11:49-50. Many will experience that here today.
Without faith, there is no access to the healing virtue, period. You can put one litre of oil on your head, it doesn’t equal healing. James 5:14. Whatever is not of faith is sin no matter who is involved. Romans 14:23. Church Gist. Let your faith come alive because God has come down in our midst to root out every plague in your life. Every negative medical verdict shall be reversed today. There is no way to access the virtue that makes whole without faith. Faith is it.
We are going to be looking at some foul spirit behind sickness and diseases. Mark 9:25. Foul spirit is the spirit that corrupts the system. It made this man deaf and dumb. He rebuked the foul spirits. There are foul spirits behind a number of issues that we are confronted with. There are foul spirits involved. We are not talking about being possessed by devils, we are talking about being oppressed by devils. Jesus went about healing all of them that were oppressed by the devil. Acts 10:38. They were not possessed, they were oppressed. There are foul spirits behind our afflictions in most cases, one of those foul spirits is
The spirit of fear.
It opens the door to the tormentor. I cast out every activity of the spirit of fear in anyone’s life. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, it came from the devil. 2 Timothy 1:7. All of the horrors in the life of Job came through the spirit of fear. All the torments that he went through. Job 3:24-25. Fear opens the door to the tormentor. 1 John 4:18. Fear hast torments, fear triggers torment. Fear opens the door to the tormentor. It is one of our worst enemies in life. Those who live in fear never see victory. Those who live in fear just open the door for the enemy to have a free day. I believe many more died of fear during the Coro episode than were killed by the purported episode. Church Gist. You know how we fought that thing here by the spirit of God, Satan will never forget. He will never forget. He inflicted the whole world with fear. He is a bastard. They said there will be no place to bury people in Africa, where is it happening now? The word of light just pushed the darkness away. This is one of the most crowded places on the earth today and it is a Coro-free zone. Non-flight zone for coro. They came here en masse for Shiloh and returned coro free. Whatever you refuse to fear cannot befall you. Whatever you won’t fear, cannot befall you. Hebrews 2:14-15. As sickness just strikes, immediately you start remembering somebody in your family that died and you say “I think it is my turn” and you start writing your will. Fear!
- I bind the spirit of fear from tormenting anyone’s life in this service.
- The fear of the unknown is cast out of your life.
- The fear of death is out of your bay.
- The spirit of deformity.
It was called the spirit of infirmity in Luke 13, but in this case, there is a deformity. Infirmity means sickness. The woman was bent over and Jesus came through and healed her. Luke 13:16. Behind that challenge was not a spinal disorder, it was Satan directly at work out to humiliate this woman. “Woman thou art loosed” and she stood straight for the first time in 18 years. There are people in this service today that will stand straight. Any medical research centre will give all kinds of diagnoses but Jesus said Satan bound this woman. Luke 13:11-16. Church Gist. So there is the spirit of deformity that comes through with paralysis, stroke. In the name of Jesus, every operation of the spirit of deformity that seeks to corrupt your perfect creation in Christ is cast out of anyone’s life today. Therefore be made straight in the name of Jesus. Every childbearing hindrance tormenting anyone here, hormonal disorder tormenting you is over finally today.
Matthew 8:16. Every oppression of the devil is castable by the word. In the name of Jesus, as you believe for your complete restoration today, receive it now.
How the word empowers us for Dominion over sickness and disease.
Jeremiah 8:20-22.
The ignorance of the Balm in Gilead and acknowledgement of the Physician there is why our health is yet to be recovered. Jeremiah 8:19. “If I were living in Australia, they would just handle this sickness”. Can I tell you something? There is no medical centre on this earth where they can deal with the devil. He is undiagnosable. There is nothing wrong with seeking medical attention, but do you put your trust in it? Don’t die like a chicken. Put your trust in God. The one who could recover a dead man after 4 days in the grave can recover your health. Church Gist. What is the software for dividing the Red Sea that you know? I know this Church is full of Software Engineers. Is there any software in your life that you have found that can divide the Red Sea and let three million people pass after they have passed it closed on the others? Common give the Lord a big hand of praise. Somebody’s story has changed.
Jeremiah 17:5-8. You are the man God is talking about, no more manipulation. Have you found where they treat nightmares? To stop running around in the night jumping over mountains and valleys pursued by hyenas. Jesus has the answer. In the name of Jesus, the month of August shall be your month of answers. An everlasting answer comes from God. That is why doctors all over the world acknowledge that they have a limit. Church Gist. Somebody returned here with mouth cancer, they had done all they could do abroad, they said get near home to die. Jesus ripped it out of her mouth supernaturally. Whatever anyone has given up on concerning you, Jesus will take care of it today. He is the physician in Gilead and His word is the balm. Psalm 107:20. In Matthew 11:2-5 we saw the Great Physician just roll out his CV. Those are His specialities and there is no one else in any medical field of endeavour that has that. The dead are raised to life, they write you a death certificate. Jesus raised the dead. He is the only one that speaks to the dead and they hear. So it is not an accolade, the Great Physician is an earned status. It is not honorary, it is earned. He is here in our midst, in the name of Jesus, everything that they have given up on in your life will come back to life today. Doctors said you will never walk again, you will walk. You will see today in the name of Jesus.
Matthew 9:12-13. He is not only our Saviour, Jesus is also our healer. He heals by his word. When the light of His word breaks into our hearts, our health springs up. Isaiah 58:8. When light strikes into the midst of darkness, darkness gives way speedily. No argument, no delay, no debate. As you receive Jesus as your healer and His word as the principal channel by which he heals, your health and wholeness will be restored today. The dominion of light over darkness is instant and unquestionable. Most of the afflictions on our health are oppressions of the devil, most not all. You find fever won’t go, Jesus stood over Peter’s mother and rebuked the spirit of fever and she was made whole. As ordinary as fever, do you know how many people it has killed? You have escaped today.
What is the word that heals?
- God’s word is medicinal (Proverbs 4:20-22).
Another translation calls it medicine to all their flesh. God’s word is medicinal. Psalm 107:20. - God’s word is surgical.
We saw God the master surgeon in Genesis 2:21-22 in bringing forth the woman. Strange surgery, a rib then a human being. After the surgery Adam started dancing, there is no recovery process. Master Surgeon. When you receive the word for the surgical need you desire, it comes through with speed. That woman was made whole on the spot. He straightened the spinal cord damaged by the devil and she stood at the same time. Hebrews 4:12. He took one rib and made another person and the two of them were jumping at the same time, there was no bed rest. That is how the word repairs. I was teaching on this in Uganda many years ago and there was a woman that was involved in a ghastly motor accident, and everyone died. Church Gist. She was the only one who survived with all her ribs wounded and I said the Master surgeon is in the house. They carried her to the place and they carried her back home and in the night, the Master Surgeon showed up and began to push her chest and the bones were falling together and that was the end of it. The Master Surgeon is visiting you today. All the damaged parts of your body shall be repaired. I thought on this in one of our conferences in London and there was a woman who had waist trouble and in the night, the Master Surgeon showed up and began to draw out some yellowish strands like spaghetti from her waist and that was it. Jesus is His name and He will set you free from every plague of discomfort in your life. - God’s word is prophetic.
All you need to see prophecies come to pass is faith. Luke 1:45. God’s Word is prophetic. “This is what I am set to do if you care to believe”. 3 John 1:2.
- Every plague of sickness and disease that is contrary to that verdict clears off anyone’s life today.
- The word is creative.
God’s Word is creative. John 1:1. Genesis 1:1-9,31. God’s word is eternally creative when you receive it. He creates whatever is lost in your body. If the attack on your life is not repairable, it is replaceable. There are fellows here that were said not to have any fallopian tube and medically you can’t have a child without a fallopian tube but her two sons have graduated from Covenant University. He recreates whatever may have been stolen. In 1983, I ran into a man and his wife at Kuro Jos and this man’s wife had been said not to have a womb. The devil has stolen it. I came down with this word from John 10:10. No manufacturer runs without a spare part store. So God has a spare part store for any part of your body, do you believe that? They said “Yes!”. I could see faith in them and I said now receive your baby. Nine months after, bouncing baby boy. He is not only a healer, He is not only a restorer. He is also a replacer. Whatever the devil has stolen from you shall be replaced today. These are not theories, but real life experiences of children of God with the word of truth.
The word quickens our mortal body that means it reenergizes it. John 6:63, Romans 8:11. The word carries that quickening power and when you receive the word it penetrates and quickens you back to life. It renews your strength like an eagle. Therefore anything that makes you drag like a 90-year-old when you are 50, every such feebleness and weakness is cursed in anyone’s life today. We partake on divine nature by feeding on the word. Divine nature which is immune to sickness and disease as we feed on the word. It’s not enough to bring forth a child, if you don’t feed the child, He will die without any attack. Church Gist. After you are rescued, you keep feeding on the word to sustain your health by buying into divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4. We partake of divine nature through the word. John 1:1. We are feeding on God’s nature into our system and that is immune to sickness and disease. Your rescue shall not be temporary. It shall be long-lasting. You will live in it all the days of your life.
It is our Covenant Day of Escape and from Hebrews 2:3. Our escape is in that great salvation. Until one is saved, he has not escaped and cannot escape. At new birth, we are translated from the kingdom of darkness into light. We escape from the kingdom of darkness. If I step out of here now to Benin Republic, the laws of Nigeria are no longer binding on me. We were rescued from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light so that the laws of the former kingdom no longer hold water in our lives. That is our great escape. We were with him in the dungeon of the pit, Jesus came and raised us up out of that pit and made us sit with Him in heavenly places. Romans 6:23. Until you are saved, you have not escaped. Until you are saved you are not safe. You can’t gatecrash into it, it is a definite individual experience. Salvation is God’s great escape agenda for mankind. Your escape shall be revalidated today.
- No agents of the devil toy with you anymore. Their rules are no longer binding on your life.
We live in a world saddled with all forms of satanic traps. Psalm 74:20. You are not offending anybody, they just pick you up. Like that my daughter, they were going to slaughter her. Jesus stepped in and rescued her. Church Gist. The World is full of cruelty but God will step in and mind His covenant. Psalm 89:34. If you know how to operate your escape right, every devil will respect you. That my daughter took cover under a prophetic covering and God responded. When David ran under the prophetic covering of Samuel, Saul’s wickedness could not catch up with him. He took cover under a prophet and God honoured His word.
1 John 5:19. We need a revelation of this escape right not to become a victim. God has a plan of escape for His children, let’s look at some of those escape plans.
As earlier mentioned, God’s escape agenda demands that everyone be born again. That is our great escape platform. I have said a few things about that. Our principal way of escape is through His word. 1 Corinthians, John 14:6. The way is in His word, He provides our way of escape from His word. Isaiah 55:9, 59:8. We need to know the way out when challenged.
- God shows us the way of escape through the ministry of teaching priests.
There was a crisis in the days of King Asa (2 Chronicles 15:3-8) then a word came from Oded the Prophet and that stirred a new beginning. They entered into a covenant to seek God and He gave them rest round about. Church Gist. A grand escape came, and peace and joy were restored by the ministry of teaching priests. These teaching priests are found in Church. You find the way out like you are being shown right now. You will never be trapped anymore.
Isaiah 30:20-21.
Also, we have their resources such as books that show us the way out of our predicament. I once shared the testimony of a man that was plagued with three different diseases, high blood pressure, hypertension and dizziness and was in it for 17 years. He had a prayer team that was praying against these ailments. Church Gist. One day he went to a book store and bought some books, including Seven Keys To Divine Healing by Kenneth Hagin. How Faith Works by Frederick K.C. Price and Keys to Divine Health the book I wrote. He declared a three-day war and so that 17 years of trouble were not needed. Three days was enough. He declared three days of war by revelation and the plague on him was lifted through the ministry of teaching priests.
- Your escape is settled finally today.
Our escape is established by remaining on God’s side always through the obedience of scripture. John 14:21. Get on God’s side and stay there. Exodus 32:26. If God is for you, who can be against you?
The good news today is this: you never get trapped by the wicked again. Arrows that fly by day will never come near you anymore. Why? You have escaped. Psalm 124. Let the redeemed of the Lord shout it “I have escaped”.
Lift your right hand everybody and celebrate your escape.
He that receives a prophet shall receive a prophets reward. I wasn’t trained for it, I was separated for it. My mission is to go into the world and whip away the tears of mankind. He said from the beginning it is not so. I hear them groaning.
- Whatever makes you cry behind closed doors is over today.
He said to me behold I have touched your tongue with a coal of fire and from henceforth as you say it, you see it. Whatever I proclaim into your life today you will see it speedily.
Do you want to tap into the healing virtue that characterizes this commission: put your hand on wherever you are hurting or on your forehead and the virtue will flow and retain your wholeness for life? That feebleness and weakness, enough is enough. Church Gist. I command the flow of His healing virtue into your life. Receive it in the name of Jesus. I declare the renewal of that healing virtue, spirit, soul and body.
- Every deformity is over.
- The spirit of fear is cursed in your life.
- Be made whole spirit, soul and body in Jesus name.
- Your dominion over sickness and disease is established today.
- Every attack against your life will go back to sender.
I am looking out for a generation that will be a massive improvement on our generation and that will be the outcome of this convention. All of your children will be far above where you stop. Your household shall be known as a house of giants. I know we are in for the best of times.
