THIS WEEKEND IS DECLARED YOUR WEEKEND
COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE CONVENIENT BUT TO BE OBEYED
GOD LOVES EVERYBODY? HE IS ANGRY WITH THE WICKED EVERYDAY
IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF GOD HE WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU ANYWHERE YOU ARE LOCATED
NOBODY LOVES JESUS AT A LOSS
GOD’S COMMANDMENTS ARE FOR OUR PROFITING. THEY ARE NOT FOR OUR LOSSES
OUR LOVE FOR GOD PUTS US SUPERNATURALLY IN COMMAND OF ALL THINGS
NO MATTER ANY CORNER OF THIS WORLD YOU MIGHT BE LIVING, IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF GOD, HE WILL FIND YOU.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO LOVE HIM, IT IS IMPORTANT TO STAY IN LOVE.
-Bishop David Oyedepo at Covenant Hour of Prayer || 14th October 2022.
Lift up those two hands and give God thanks, give Him thanks for the grace granted to you and I to be in His presence. Magnify Him, glorify Him, there’s none like our God, ever faithful, ever true, ever sure, ever reliable, ever dependable, celebrate Him, magnify Him, thank You Jesus, in Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
People gathered early in the morning in the temple to hear Him. Church Gist. How many people want to hear from God today? now ask Him, open thou my eyes that I may see wondrous things out of Thy Law, let your Word locate me this morning. Put again in my hand the key to make the most of my adventure of life on Earth and my work with you, thank you Jesus in Jesus’ precious name we have prayed. Church Gist. Lord Jesus, we are here again at your feet, reach out to every one of us and let no one return without an encounter with Your Word in Jesus’ precious name.
Every commandment of scripture is for our profiting, not punishment, not for our burden but for our profiting. Deuteronomy 5:32-33.
The greatest asset of man is life. So when you wish people long life and prosperity, that is what you are talking about. Church Gist. It comes out of being sold out to God’s instruction to us as contained in His Word.
Commandments are simply instructions to us, they are not meant to be convenient, they are ordained to be obeyed if you are interested in the blessings they carry. There is no instruction to us that does not carry definite benefits back for us if we will engage with them and this morning we will be looking at the LAW OF COMMANDMENTS. Jesus defined it as the greatest. Matthew 22:36-40. On these two commandments, operate, function and deliver all the other commandments of the law. This is the commandment that makes them work, outside this commandment in place, they don’t work and Paul came up with the importance or the significance of the law in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. It is greater than the anointing. Church Gist. Charity there means love, all revelations, and all faith equals nothing without Love. Church Gist. Though I depart with all my goods to feed the poor and I even offer my body to be burned and it is just to be known, it profited me nothing.
It is a hidden treasure, it is a pearl of a costly price, and it is a stock that never goes down. Mark 12:28-31. All thy heart bless God for that, all thy might, emotional connection, all thy strength. And what happens? 1 Corinthians 13:8. Charity faileth not. Church Gist. Grounded and rooted love makes you live a failure-proof life.
There are three forces that give meaning to life, Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love. Church Gist. What makes it great? we know that all things are ordained to keep working together for good to them that love God. Church Gist. All things, it put us in command of all things, our love for God puts us supernaturally in command of all things for instance,
- Every true lover is ordained a high flyer in the race of life. 1 Corinthians 2:9. They are generational record breakers, genuine love for God, not for things, not for positions and not for fame, genuine love for God has established your feet going nowhere, what happens and what does not happens does not affect it and it keeps making good things happen no matter the challenges one may have gone through. Church Gist. It secures our place in the Kingdom. Job said even though He slays me I will yet trust Him. I am not here for bread and butter, I just love God and He is decorating such individuals no matter the fierceness of the battle they may have gone through.
The authentic biblical proof of love is keeping His commandments John 14:21. Church Gist. People think that God’s love is free, never! Keeping His commandments wins His love. Proverbs 8:17, Proverbs 8:12. He is not in love with everybody, He knows those who love Him and those that love Him know. You can’t love Him and not know. He knows those who love Him because the heart of man is deep, desperately wicked who can know it Jeremiah 17:9-10. I know what goes on in everybody’s hearts, I know those who have a heart for me and I know those who are just having fun with me. Church Gist. I know them. God knows those who love Him and those who truly love Him know that they love Him. Know that spot.
You can’t love Him and not know. He said to Simon Peter do you love me? He said “Lord I love you” John 21:15-16. He said now go prove it, go after my lamb. Church Gist. Can you ask me now do you love God? And I will ask you to answer it whichever way you see it. It became my reason for living 46 years ago. And that love from that time is getting stronger by the day, it is an ever-growing virtue, the length the breadth, the depth and the height. Ephesians 3:18. So we are on it, we are pressing on, but I know I have registered in the school of love. Church Gist. You can’t register there and not know. When small things move you all around, it shows where your heart is, anybody can make that choice.
I like you to leave here this morning with this
God knows those who love Him and those who love Him know that they love Him. I love them that love Me. We are to win His love by loving Him. Proverbs 8:17. You think God loves everybody? He is angry with the wicked every day Psalms 7:11. He is not an anyhow God. Proverbs 8:36. Church Gist. If I ask you now do you love armed robbers, Hello? I know you are an embodiment of love, do you love armed robbers? David the lover said, “I love them that love Thee and I hate them that hate Thee with perfect hatred”. You can’t love one thing well and not hate the opposite thing well. Do you ever pray for armed robbers to succeed? Oh Lord, all the armed robbers that are on the street today don’t let them kill anybody, let them return with many things. Church Gist. No! that will be mischievous madness. Do you love ritual killers and kidnappers? no! so to think that anything you do don’t matter, God loves you, you will just be going through hurdles all through Life.
Prayer: Lord endue me with the spirit of Love. I want to be listed among your lovers, your hot lovers on the Earth and all things will keep working for you, Amen.
Obeying His instructions as contained in His Word is biblical proof of our love for Him. Church Gist. Awesome God. Church Gist. David said and now because of my affection for the Lord. 1 Chronicles 29:3. I have given all. His greatness is just everlasting, His love for God gave Him His place both in life and in eternity. Jesus is sitting down there in heaven with the key of David in His hand. That opens and no man shut and shut and no man opens. Revelation 3:7. Church Gist. A lot of people don’t know what moves God toward them. Prove that you love Him, your years of being in the faith count nothing, and the day you stop loving Him, He turns His back. Church Gist. And Solomon loved the Lord, great! He turned his back and God also turned His back. 1 Kings 3:1.
-God will not turn His back on any of us.
1 Chronicles 28:4.
He said He liked me and made me a King. Psalms 112:2.
- You’re the one God is talking about.
- Nothing will ever go down in your life loving Jesus.
Nobody loves Jesus at a loss.
- You will testify.
Delightsome obedience is a practical proof of genuine love for God. He never disappoint them who love Him. Church Gist. He will always find His lovers to decorate them. Psalm 89:21, 1 Samuel 15:28, 1 Samuel 13:14.
- He will find you.
No matter any corner of this world you might be living, if you are a lover of God, He will find you.
David was not in town when they came to ordain him a king in Jesse’s house, but He found him. Church Gist. All those heavy folks who are home, who are the most befitting for kings or “kinging” gorgeously dressed, maybe they passed the royal match, but they were not chosen. He said don’t you have another son? No, that one is not part of the sons, he is in the forest, he said, send for him, that is the king. Church Gist. Not to these ones in town, that one in the forest.
- He will find you.
- He will anoint you.
- He will enthrone you.
- He will decorate your life.
- You will make Heaven in grand style.
- It is your turn for a change of story.
Now it is not enough to love Him, it is important to stay in love.
Grace to stay in love with your God, lift up your two hands and receive it.
Grace to stay in love with your God by delightsomely keeping His commandments and instructions, grace to stay in love with your God. It is not enough to get started and it is not late for anybody to start. Lord, grace to stay in love with you, I receive it. Church Gist. You don’t need sympathizers, You are God any day, with me, without me, you’re God, grace to stay in love with you, with proofs all the days of my life, I receive it in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
David didn’t have to pray “Lord remember me” He will always remember His lover. We didn’t find David prayed, “as I killed Goliath give me a name” no! He didn’t go for a price, he took his life in his hands because love is as strong as death.
Lord if you don’t give me that land, I won’t serve you. Go and steal it, what is all that baby stuffs?
-Something must turn in everyone’s life
I just love you Jesus, if you love Him, He will find you and when He finds you, He will favour you.
- You will find unusual favour from the Lord.
- This weekend is declared your weekend.
- Everything shall work in your favor.
- Today is declared your day, no distractions, no setbacks, no mishaps in your life, in your family. Church Gist. No evil report from any direction in the name of Jesus.
Lift up your hands and give God thanks. BishopDavidOyedepo
