THESE DAYS YOU FIND 25-YEAR-OLDS STILL VERY CASUAL ABOUT LIFE.
ONLY A SERIOUS APPROACH GUARANTEES A GLORIOUS RESULT. YOU CAN NOT WORK YOUR WAY AND EXPERIENCE OUR WAYS. PLEASE GET SERIOUS!
YOU NEVER EMERGE A GIANT IN ANY FIELD OF ENDEAVOUR WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU AND FOLLOWING THEIR STEPS.
MARRIAGE IS ORDAINED BY GOD TO BE HITCH-FREE.
YOUR LIFE SHOULD GET BETTER BY MARRIAGE NOT GET WORSE, TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Special Midweek Feet Washing Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.
When you truly receive the seed of the word in your good and honest heart, it grows up and becomes a tree. It throws out great branches and the birds of the air time to nest on it. We have some trees on this campus that could be about 200 years old. It started one day and it is on and one. Church Gist. May your heart be open all through this convention to receive the engrafted word of God with meekness that will result in lasting manifestations in your life.
- Your path tonight shall not be lost in Jesus’ precious name.
Father, thank you again. Go with us as we go into your word and let light break forth in everyone’s heart and the works of darkness be shattered. Through this mystery tonight, establish the dominion of every one of us. Change our levels of dominion in Jesus’ precious name.
I want all of us to feel and understand that we are all youths in the sight of God. The Bible says a child shall die a hundred years. If you are anything under 100 years, God is saying you are a child. So watch out and plug in for your portion tonight.
To all of our very precious, highly privileged youths, let me drop this word for you. Only a serious approach guarantees a glorious result. I will like you to comport yourself here. I saw an array of people coming into this service, nothing in their hands, hands in their pockets. That is not the way to build a future. I didn’t work that way, my wife didn’t work that way, our first Vice President who just spoke to you right now didn’t work that way. Church Gist. You cannot work your way and experience our ways. Please get serious. To sit down somewhere and just be looking at me is a sign of unseriousness. Grabbing nothing, noting nothing, what did you come for? 2 Timothy 3:15. And from a child, you are becoming too old my friend. There was a time in this commission, I asked them to go round and those who don’t have notes, ask them to stand up. It shouldn’t be so, it is time to reflect on your roots. From the age of 16, God has been speaking to me on issues regarding my future. I saw I was a king not that anybody preached it to me, nobody knew royalty in Christianity. I found it is good for a young man to take responsibility in his youth so he does not become a liability tomorrow. I found it at 16 and I knelt down under a tree and asked God for grace. Now, you find a 25-year-old just putting his hand in his pocket very casual about life. Please go back home tomorrow if you came here and you are not serious. Go back home tomorrow. Doing what here? We will be gasping for the next statement. Salivating for the next statement. Someone came here and if they ask him “what did they say tonight?” “I don’t even know, they spent so much time”. Did they beg you to come? Get serious my friend.
Somebody met me seven years before we got married and was asking for counsel about marriage. Church Gist. He said what about your experience and I said I am not married, he said no no! No, you are married. Can I be married and not know? Seven years before I got married, married folks came to me for counselling. Get serious. Church Gist. By divine help, I read the whole of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John like a hungry, previous wolf the first three months I got saved. Now when they call Matthew you are looking for it in the old testament. Get serious my friend. Are you ashamed to hold the Bible in your hand?
The theme of this convention is “Destined For Dominion” after the order of Christ. We are going to be looking at our path of Dominion over sickness and disease. We clearly saw Jesus walking in that. He had the tightest schedule but not one day of breakdown. In the precious name of Jesus, no one’s life here will be under any further siege of sickness and disease.
- Every siege of hereditary disease shall be swallowed up in anyone’s life today. Every siege of untimely death shall be brought under our feet.
Pilate said “I have power over you” Jesus replied how dare you say that you can put me to death. No! I came for this purpose. Pilate, zero power. No power. Dominion. Whom seek ye? Jesus and they fell backwards to the floor.
- Every arrow of the wicked in your direction, by the encounter of tonight, shall return back to the sender.
I was in my office one day when Jesus walked in and landed a verdict “if I wash thee not, thou has no part in me”. I wasn’t reading that scripture. I never attended one service like that in my life. Can I tell you something about mysteries? They are not discovered, they are simply revealed. It is not that you read and read and you found it. He makes it known not that you study Greek and Hebrew and you come by a mystery. He makes it known. Then I got to that scripture and saw the procedure. I never attended one in my life except for the one I conducted. He laid it out to me one by one and showed me what it conveys. The testimonies are here, all over today. It is not about intellectual capacity and exploration. No! He makes it known unto his holy apostles and prophets who won’t make merchandise of it. He unveils His mystery to them line upon line and precept upon precept. Church Gist. That was 1990, that opened a new chapter to this commission and men began to walk in triumph over the issues of life. Someone here was suffering the plague of regurgitation, you eat, you vomit, you eat again and for years, feet washed, siege seized. A lot of people were bedwetting, feet washed and bedwetting seized. One of us in the U.S. had full-blown blood cancer and was hooked online from the hospital, where he hardly could stand up. As the prophetic word was going on, he slept and woke up, discovered the water in the bowl was like palm wine, and the siege was over.
- Tonight whatever siege came with anyone across the nations of the world hooked to this service shall seize.
- Every habit that scuttles destiny, every habit that turns a glorious destiny into a shameful one shall siege here tonight.
- Every habit you hate to see in your life shall come to an end tonight.
The woman that was three years pregnant, her husband died in the process, and she was still carrying the pregnancy. One of our ministers invited her to come. Neighbours were discouraging her, don’t go there. She said it is me that is carrying this weight, not you. She first asked what is washing my feet going to do to her body, the minister said when your feet are washed, it will impact every part of your body. Church Gist. She came here, had her feet washed and labour started on the spot. She gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.
- Whatever the enemy has tied up in your life, as your feet are washed tonight, it is over forever.
It is also important to know that there are no private testimonies in the kingdom, every testimony is duplicatable. Every testimony can be replicated. Psalm 119:111. A woman touched the hem of his garment (Mathew 9:20-22) and by Matthew 14, everybody sought to touch him and all that touched Him were made perfectly whole (Matthew 14:36). Somebody showed the way to go, and others went the same way and got the same order of results. There are no private testimonies in the scriptures. Secondly, there are no private revelations in the scriptures. Every revelation is for anyone whosoever believes in it. Church Gist. Apostles and prophets are beacons of light, those who receive them buy into the light they got and come out with the same result. Psalm 36:9. I heard from God’s word in John 6:48-58 about the ministry of the communion and I saw that in the ministry of Wigglesworth and it turned me on. I became an addict. Long before I received a call to ministry. So every terminal disease, the same way those diseases were terminated as we heard in those testimonies, yours shall be terminated too. Thank you Jesus.
What are mysteries? It is important for us to know that we live in a kingdom governed by mysteries. Mark 4:11. The kingdom of Christ is governed by mysteries. For instance, faith is a mystery. 1 Timothy 3:9. How mysterious is the mystery of faith? It built Canaanland. It built Faith Tabernacle, which you are sitting in now and it is building the Ark. It built this facility in one year. We have never had to beg or borrow. We are going to 42 years now, that is how mysterious the mystery of faith is. It brings God’s hand to bear on human impossibilities. Then we have the mystery of godliness. 1 Timothy 3:16. We have the mystery of iniquity 2 Thessalonians 2:7. We have the mystery of marriage, some don’t know anything about it. They just jump into it and blow it. Church Gist. This kingdom is governed by mysteries. What are mysteries? They are kingdom treasures hidden in scriptures. They are treasures of a great price. I knew by grace that the cheapest way to arrive at where you are going is to follow the steps of those who have been there. That got me addicted to biographies. Jeremiah 6:16-17. All these mentor-protégé is in the Bible. You never emerge a giant in any field of endeavour without identifying those who have gone before you and follow their steps. The mystery of water baptism, some have never done it. It clears your system off the debris and defilement that goes on in the world. Romans 6:1-4. It is not enough to repent, and be baptized and then you shall be saved.
We can also define a mystery as a divine secret embedded in the pages of scriptures. It is access to divine secrets that makes stars of believers. Genesis 41:39. When Nebuchadnezzar heard the secret revealed to Daniel, he bowed himself and worshipped Daniel. A mystery may not make sense to the natural mind but it is always validated by proof. Isaiah 55:8. They may not appeal to the natural mind but they don’t lack proofs and only fools doubt proofs. 1 Corinthians 2:14. More often than not, mysteries are wrapped in Biblical simplicity. Church Gist. They appear too simple to be as potent as you try to make it seem. 2 Corinthians 11:3. You know the simplicity of salvation, somebody went to the cross 2000 years ago and his blood is still cleansing you. You will ask where is the blood. Can’t you see the change in my life? You may not see the blood, can’t you see the change?
When I started saying by what God showed me that I can never be poor. People were laughing at me, they were lifting their noses “we will see”. Am I poor now? When I started teaching the mystery of hitch-free marriage “let’s watch him marry first”. I said marriage is ordained for hitch-free life. It is an upgrade of your triumphant life. You don’t go down by getting married, you go better. Two are better than one. I was teaching it so hard, they were laughing so bad. It works. Please listen to me; mysteries are ordained to empower believers to gain mastery over the affairs of life. Church Gist. So don’t try to use your little brain to explain where your future is. The good news is that we are all returning with a clear seal of Dominion over sickness and disease from this service tonight. Mysteries are largely authenticated by testimonies. The mystery of salvation is reflective in your life. The new you emerges by believing what doesn’t look tangible and you are enjoying it while they are complaining.
From the mystery of feet washing, we have discovered that feet washing is a medium through which we take delivery of our redemptive rights in Christ. He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. John 13:3-8. It may look funny to you but it will come with proof. You shall know hereafter.
- Nightmares will end here tonight.
It will amount to some level of madness to think that what Christ was trying to do was to teach humility, No! He taught a lot about humility, he didn’t have to remove his coat. He is too smart to want to illustrate humility by taking off his garment and tying a towel around himself. Church Gist. It was a mystery being transmitted. When Peter saw the look on the Master, he said I am sorry, not only my feet but my whole body. I can’t afford to miss my part in you. It is a mystery being unravelled. - every part of Christ that is not reflective in any one of us, whatever you know of Christ and is yet to experience, as your feet are washed tonight they shall be openly delivered.
- by this mystery, walking in the steps of Jesus will become your natural lifestyle.
When they saw Peter and John, they took knowledge of them that they had been with Christ. They had their feet washed so they were Christ replicas. From this service tonight, you are rising as a surprise to yourself. The things you used to struggle with will clear the way for you supernaturally.
- Your days of struggling for survival are over.
- Your days of struggling to please God are over.
When your feet are washed, it is ordained to impact every part of your life. John 13:9-10. It cleanses every part of our body. So whatever my heavenly Father has not put inside you that is tormenting you right now shall be cleansed off. Among others, this mystery confers all-around cleansing. As Namaan dipped himself in Jordan, he was cleansed of leprosy. Whatever makes people ask you where your God shall drop off your life tonight. It secures health and vitality, every time the water is stirred whosoever first steps into it is made whole of whatever disease. Church Gist. No matter what the disease is called. John 5:4. All manner of sickness, all manner of diseases. The water is being stirred now by the word, the word of God is the rod that is stirring the water. As you step in with absolute confidence in your God to confirm His word, you shall be made whole of whatever disease. Deuteronomy 33:24-25.
- Every barren woman, every impotent man that steps into this water shall become fathers and mothers of nations.
- As your feet are washed, no more struggle for survival.
I gave unto you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, you can’t use bare legs to tread upon serpents and scorpions. I have turned your feet into iron and brass. Anyone that lays a charm on the ground for you will be crushed under it. Supernatural breakthroughs. Habakkuk 3:17-19. Many are stepping into the supernatural realm of breakthroughs tonight. Church Gist. As your feet are washed wherever the sole of your feet shall tread upon shall be given to you. Joshua 1:3. That shall be your experience. You never hear again “we don’t want to see you here”.
- There shall be a deluge of miracle jobs.
- Divine ideas will begin to flow through you.
- After tonight you never know what it means to be stranded again.
See the bowl of water today in the light of the following scriptural illustrations. See that bowl of water as
- A type of Red Sea that will clear the way for you. See the barriers on your path giving way.
- See the water in that bowl as a type of Jordan which cleanses every individual from everything that displeases God. Everything that separates you from the household of God. Whatever connotes any kind of leprosy in your life shall be cleanser tonight. See this water as Jordan that will remove every form of spiritual leprosy from your life. Everyone shall be cleansed.
- See it as the pool of Bethesda where every disease clears the way. John 5:4.
With this light, it is your turn to take your part and in the name of Jesus Christ, you are going to see it. John 13:7. We have heard amazing testimonies of breakthroughs, and deliverance. Your own will be next. We have had a series of SS turned AA, yours will be next. Whatever had been termed incurable shall be flushed out of your life tonight. Someone here got healed of Cancer in January 2021 at the feet washing service. Church Gist. Completely set free. We have catalogues of them, you are very familiar with a number of them in your various locations where you came from. Tonight as the Lord lives, as you receive the truth of God’s word with a genuine craving for a change of story, you shall not return disappointed.
All testimonies are significant. They are the raw hand of God at work. Your testimonies are preserved for life.
- Whatever you wrote when you were prophetically instructed is turned into testimony in your life.
That individual woke up the following morning and could not see that hyena again after years of torture and torment. Church Gist. In the same way, many who care to believe will wake up in a brand new world.
What you have written will no longer be written as a desire but become a testimony for all to hear.
For all our youths across the world, your feet have been washed so you can walk after the order of Christ. Jesus was down to earth serious, he was found seated among the doctors and lawyers at the age of 12. He was an amazement.
- I, therefore, decree that by your encounter tonight receive grace to walk after the order of Christ.
- The grace to sustain our place in the race and never look back is released upon everyone’s life.
- No one leaves here the same way he came.
- For our youths, you will move this mandate forward. Where we are today as a commission will look like no place.
- Unusual grace will come upon your life and I see giants rising in various spheres of life.
- No one here shall sell off his birthright.
- No one among you shall become a wandering star.
That person had a blocked ear from birth and tonight Jesus opened the ears. - Grace to keep hearing from God in taking any step in life is taking off in your life.
- Every spiritual deafness is healed tonight. Every spiritual blindness is healed tonight.
- Sickness and disease shall have no more hiding place in your family.
- Untimely death is over forever.
