JESUS IS WAITING FOR YOU AT SHILOH 2022.
THE SIMPLE SECRET OF MY JOURNEY IN 53 YEARS: I HAVE KEPT PRESSING.
PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE WORTH THAT IS WHY THEY STOP PRESSING. THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IS AHEAD OF THEM.
I SAW MYSELF FROM THE WORD GOING TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD – 1984 WHEN I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER
I LOVE TO KNOW, GOD IS TOO DEEP FOR ANYONE TO CLAIM THAT HE KNOWS IT ALL.
THE MYSTERY OF PATIENCE IS THE MYSTERY OF MORE THAN CONQUERORS. WHEN IT GETS TO YOU, IT SHOWS.
IN 1982, WE WERE COUNTING #18 IN A MONTH. IN 2022 WE ARE NOT COUNTING #18 IN THE HUNDREDTH UNIT OF A SECOND
NOBODY HAS EVER RISEN AGAINST THIS CHURCH AND SURVIVED
WHEN GOD MAKES YOU NO DEVIL CAN UNMAKE YOU. WHEN GOD MAKES A MAN NO DEVIL CAN UNMAKE HIM.
THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE MADE WITHOUT BEING HATED. THE WORLD WILL HATE THE MAKING OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE SO DON’T MIND THEM IT IS A PROOF OF YOUR STRONG POSITION
THE VALIDATION OF THIS PROPHETIC EVENT (SHILOH) SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1999 IS PROOF THAT GOD COMMANDED IT.
IT IS WORKING, THINGS KEEP HAPPENING BECAUSE GOD COMMANDED THIS PROPHETIC FEAST.
YOU ARE GOING TO DEPART FROM SHILOH WITH AUTHORITY OVER THE AFFAIRS OF LIFE
GOD WILL BE DOING A QUICK WORK IN THE LIFE OF EVERY PARTICIPANT AT SHILOH.
EXPECT EVERYTHING THAT MOURNS IN YOUR LIFE TO BE TURNED INTO DANCING.
– Bishop David Oyedepo at Fifth Pre-Shiloh Encounter / Anointing Service|| Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service.
Shall we all lift our two hands and magnify the name of the Lord for the privilege to see the last Sunday before Shiloh. Thank Him for the privilege to be a partaker of the last Pre-Shiloh Encounter and Anointing Service which is ordained for our preservation and access to diverse manifestations at Shiloh. Give Him glory and praise.
God has not asked His children to seek Him in vain. Psalm 65:4. You shall return from here satisfied. You shall be satisfied with His presence. He will touch you in a unique way in the name of Jesus Christ. Church Gist. As this oil, after it has been blessed and turned into the holy anointing oil is poured upon our heads, the prophetic verdict of Psalm 91 shall be established upon your life and your family, to validate our protection and preservation. With long life shall he satisfy every one of us as he continues to show us his salvation.
Father, honour your word this morning. Let it be a Pre-Shiloh Encounter indeed. Let that be for every one of us here in Jesus’ precious name.
Let me once again congratulate every one of us for being a partaker of this Annual Pre-Shiloh Anointing Service. As already declared, all that see the one for this year shall see the one for next year. All that see the one for next year will keep seeing it until a good old age in the name of Jesus Christ.
ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF WORD-BASED EXPECTATION AT SHILOH 2022.
The wonders of word-based, word-rooted, word-stirred expectations at Shiloh 2022. It is important for us to first recognize that the validation of this prophetic event since its inception in 1999 is proof that God commanded it. No one here shall miss his portion at this Shiloh. Lamentations 3:37. It is working, things keep happening because God commanded this prophetic feast. It is ordained for us in this Winner’s Family among other things to establish our dominion both as a church and as individuals. I pray that this agenda of heaven will find expression in everyone’s life. You are going to depart from Shiloh with authority over the affairs of life. You say to this “go” it will go. You say to that “come” and it will come. That is what we call dominion. It is a mountain of empowerment for dominion. Joshua 18:1. So this platform is ordained of God to subdue the land before us. To dislodge the power of darkness because the whole world lies in darkness. Church Gist. Psalm 94:20. It is a mountain of light for taking delivery of our inheritance through diverse encounters in the word. Joshua 18:3. At Shiloh God has ordained speedily delivery of what belongs to us in redemption. God shall be doing a quick work at Shiloh. The same way that man came off from the theatre where he was scheduled for heart surgery plagued with three killer things – heart disease, kidney problem, liver problem, stroke and came out where they could not find it anymore and for the first time, he stood up from the wheelchair and went to the toilet. Church Gist. He walked in there. The face that was turned one side came back straight. Liver in order, kidney in order, heart in order, all in one sweep. In the same way, God will be doing a quick work in the life of every participant at Shiloh. God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. 2 Peter 1:3.
– Shiloh shall mark the end of every trace of shame and reproach in any life.
Furthermore, Shiloh is a prophetic feast of the word as contained in Isaiah 25:6-8. There shall be an outbreak of revelation that will disarm the power of death. The Lord will wipe away tears from all faces. The reproach of His people shall he take away from all the earth. For the Lord has spoken it. That is the feast to which the bridegroom is inviting you, come and drink all of you that are thirsty. Come and drink freely. Expect everything that mourns in your life to be turned into dancing. Expect the threats of death in your life will be laid at bay. Church Gist. Expect that for your shame you will return with double honour. Expect the veils spread over your face, you know Jesus was walking with them and they couldn’t recognize Him because their eyes were holden but on this mountain, God will remove every speck, every log that is in everyone’s eyes. The brighter you see the faster it delivers. Jeremiah 1:11-12. Expect God to open your eyes and my eyes to see as clear as the sun so we can take fast delivery of what belongs to us. All tears shall be turned to cheers. All sorrow shall be turned to laughter.
But as said yesterday, no one attends lectures for someone else to pass an exam. No one is allowed to write an exam for another. No one can sit an interview for another. In the same vein, no one can have an encounter with the word for another. No reason guarantees a change of class without passing the required tests. Shiloh is a test for those who desire a change of class. ‘I am sick’ does not guarantee a change of class. No reputable institution entertains that. Church Gist. You are sick, when you are well, come and write. ‘I am sick, so I can not attend lectures’ Good luck, when you are well, come and attend if your space is still there. Beware of spiritual laxity. Husbands can’t attend lectures for wife to pass an exam. The wife can’t attend lectures for the husband to pass an exam. Let’s stop joking with destiny. Do you know why we are oppressed? We stop pressing. We just stop pressing for more of God, more of light. We just stop pressing.
Luke 16:16.
You can’t press for another every man presses. Studentship demands a sustainable pressing to succeed. You press to pass one exam, you press to pass another. You can’t press now and transfer the pressing to another exam. You keep pressing. Many believers are oppressed because we just stop pressing, we know everything. Church Gist. Before they say John “I know it. In the beginning God created the world and the world was God…..”. What you know is far different from what is revealed. Stop that. People are mistaking information for revelation. That is the reason for frustration. What is driving me today is my encounter with the word on Matthew 6:33. 46 years ago but it is still burning. Church Gist. That is what we call revelation. Do you know how many gathered together here in 2015 and are not in the race anymore, some are not in the faith. They got some testimonies, it has become trials. Press! The people pressed on him to hear the word. Luke 5:1.
I was before the Lord down this morning when He revealed to me the secret of His power. The secret place of His power. I read the four gospels, the first three months I got saved and I am still reading, He is still showing me. Wake up, my friend. If you fail the Shiloh test you can’t move to the next class. Church Gist. That is why the Church is so gracious to have opened 215 viewing centres across Lagos and Ota so that nobody has an excuse. “Oh Yes. My wife go I will not be able to make it today”. What are you doing?
(🎶I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day.
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”🎶). May every form of spiritual slothfulness leave you alone. That woman pressed through the crowd with haemorrhage, weakness of the body. She pressed through the heavy security led by Peter and touched the hem of his garment. He is the Living Word, she pressed in the word and obtained the virtue that made her whole. We are too complacent. People just sit down and say Yes! I know I will soon be in 500L. You won’t go to any level if you don’t press. One of my students asked me in Landmark, we use coffee and other things to stay away, what do you use to stay awake? I said I use responsibility. Responsibility! Responsibility! Responsibility keeps me awake. We are in Lagos here, how do you get awake to go to work at 4am? Responsibility. People are just complacent. You don’t go to work, you don’t have food on your table. It is too far, it is too far. Is India’s hospital too close? Some of you go to Australia for treatment. Ota is too far. Strong and agile, Ota is too far. People are complacent. Zacchaeus said I must see Jesus, he went and climbed a tree. He was a major officer, he was a government top-ranking man. He must see Jesus. Jesus said, “I will enter your house today”. There are people here like Zacchaeus, Jesus will enter your house. I pressed to enter prosperity, three days of raw fast searching and reading, now look at it forever. 1982, this is 2022 never begged, never borrowed, over to you. I am speaking to you as a father, if you toy with this Shiloh, you will still repeat the same class. Wake up, get your notes ready. You don’t read for exams with your head laid on the pillow. That is not the way to pass. Even nature teaches us that. Most kingdom principles are also revealed by nature. This is not about being a Founder, a Bishop, An Archbishop, you don’t write exams, you don’t go forward. They started doing that in Nigeria for some years now. You write exams as a Permanent Secretary. So don’t say I have been here for long, if you want to change classes, take lectures and write exams. Something is breaking forth right now.
Can I show you a bit of what you are worth that you may not know? Matthew 11:11. All born of women – Abraham a business emperor, All born of women – Job, the greatest business emperor of his time, All born of women – Joseph – The prisoner turned ruler of Egypt, All born of women – Daniel, the wisdom bank of Babylon. People don’t know what they are worth that is why they stop pressing. They don’t know what is ahead of them. I saw myself from the word going to the top of the world – 1984 when I was at the bottom of the ladder. I saw it. I won’t tell you how many hours I go in the night but the night seasons are the seasons of light. Wake up! There is no game here. Zero games. God does not back up tricks, He backs up truth. Only those who care to keep pressing will keep winning the prize. Philippians 3:13-14. Nobody sends another man to attend lectures for him. Let’s stop deceiving ourselves. James 1:23-25. What did they say in church today? Be at Shiloh. What for? I told you yesterday that God does not need you for him, He needs you for you. Say God needs me for me. Come to me all ye that labour and are struggling for survival, come and learn. I don’t need you for me. I AM that I AM. Whether you come I AM, you run away I AM, you don’t come I AM. You throw your wife away I AM. You marry ten or twenty wives I AM. There is nothing you do that impacts on me. God is asking me to tell you, I am looking for you for you. You are the one that has issues, God doesn’t have issues. Church Gist. Your colleagues who goes to drinking joints every day nobody challenges them, the one who goes to native doctors in the lungus, nobody challenges them. They go every night, the road is not good but they go. You know I don’t like the road to Canaanland, go and create another one. What are you talking about? But you like the road to Australia where you pay through your nose for what Christ will heal for free in Ota. You have gone to Australia with borrowed money, some of them don’t have the money. What is the matter? Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? I am telling you my simple journey in 53 years. I have kept pressing.
In 1970, the Lord told me that it is good for a young man that he bears his yoke in his youth. Lamentations 3:27. What is a young believer doing with Lamentations? Jesus told me in 1970, you have been redeemed as a king and a priest to reign on the earth. Press! Keep pressing! Your command is not in prayer, your command is in light. You can pray for 50 days if you don’t have light, darkness will subdue you. What a gorgeous lifestyle. Native doctors have not seen my one dime. Professional prophets have not seen my one kobo. Highly economic flourishing life. Light never fears darkness, darkness is what fears light. Nobody has ever risen against this church and survived. Church Gist. Nobody. They are not things we share all the time. Any darkness that tries to attack light goes off. They say “darkness where are you going, I am going to attack light”. You fizzle out. Nobody! Come prepared as a student. Don’t come as an official, come as a student. Teachers don’t change classes, it is students that change classes. I was a student under Hagin all through his life. I never led prayer, I wasn’t qualified to lead prayers. Prayer for who? You small boy. but this time Sir, you won’t miss it. None of us will miss our package in this Shiloh. God is launching you and I into the highways of life and it will be on the increase in the name of Jesus. We have an enviable destiny in Christ, it is time for your mockery to be turned into envy. We have a glorious destiny in Christ, it is time for our shame to be turned into glory. This is what I caught from the Lord yesterday.
What is Expectation? It is a joyful forward-looking to our desired change of story. So come with joy, you can’t gain access without joy. Psalm 100:4. He indwells and manifests Himself to the joyful, to the praiseful. Be grateful for where you are, it is the only way to go where you are going. You can’t be grateful and not be joyful. Genuine thanksgiving is always with a smile. I thank you God oh which is not genuine, you are just scorning and mocking God but when I say I thank you from the heart, it comes with a smile. You can’t be grateful and not be joyful. James 5:13. You can’t be praiseful and not be God full because God indwells the praises of His people. You can’t be God full without being wonderful. Exodus 15:11. He manifests Himself fearfully to the praiseful because the praiseful are God full. We serve a wonder-working God. Watch out for it, where we are today as individuals would have been worse without God. If you have lost anything, He is the reason why you have not lost everything. So come with joy, don’t come with long faces. Church Gist. You are not defeated, you are only challenged. Challenges are the highways of champions. You are only challenged, don’t let no devil make you feel defeated. You are only challenged, there is no world champion that doesn’t get punches. You can’t become a world champion in your bedroom, you go to the ring. They hit you, you fall. They count 1-2-3-4, you jump up. No way! What will I tell my wife when I get back home? The good news is God will bring championship out of your challenges. At Shiloh by encounters with kingdom strategies, the champion in you will emerge. The championship in you will emerge. You may look like a prisoner today like Joseph but as your word comes at Shiloh, you will be turned into a celebrity. He was a prisoner last night, the following night he was addressing the network news, no election. My God will dramatically change the stories of everyone that believes.
A joyful forward looking to see God’s word come to pass in our lives in any area of interest. That is what they call expectation – joyful, forward-looking. I had no bank account but from the word, I saw financial fortune as I keep doing what He says to do. I saw great family life without being married from the word. When God makes you no devil can unmake you. When God makes a man no devil can unmake him. And there is no way you can be made without being hated. The world will hate the making of God in your life so don’t mind them it is a proof of your strong position. Therefore grace to take full-scale responsibility for the gorgeous future God has for you and me receive it today. I am a book greedy believer. I love to know, God is too deep for anyone to claim that He knows it all. Romans 11:33. But the more you know the more it shows. Every true revelation shows, whatever does not show is not true revelation. As we behold Him as in a glass we are changed by the Spirit of God from glory to glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18. It always shows. So encounters with the word that will show awaits you at Shiloh. I was in that conference as a young believer at the age of 16 when it got to me that God is not slow. The mystery of patience is the mystery of more than conquerors. When it gets to you, it shows. 1982, we were counting #18 in a month. In 2022 we are not counting #18 in the hundredth unit of second. The reason people steal is that they can’t wait. The reason believers go to the longos to look for native doctors for money is that they can’t wait. Church Gist. The reason we have teenage pregnancy and motherhood, they can’t wait. Drug business, they can’t wait. They are caught, thrown in prison or killed because they can’t wait. For there is no shame to them that will wait for Him. Whatever God cannot do, let it remain undone. I will not look for another god till I go to heaven. Whatever God cannot give me, may I never have it. it is not good for me that is why. Wherever He can’t take me to, may I never get there. That came with me from the age of 16 and I am now 17. You better wake up, something must get to you this time. Something of a lifetime value must be shown to you this time.
Lift your right hand and declare that your word like Joseph must come. Let this Shiloh be my Shiloh. Let my word come through this time.
It is through the channel of faith we take delivery of what belongs to us in Christ. What is faith? It is the substance of things expected, things hoped for, the product of things not seen. Simply put, faith substantiates things expected into reality. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Things expected. The evidence, in other words, the product of things not seen. We are saying in essence, faith substantiates things expected into reality. Come with well-set expectations to get on the covenant highways and you will be there. The light that will come through to you, witches and wizards will see you and be tumbling on their own. Church Gist. When the light of this word came, devils would see him and say “have you come to destroy us before the time?”. Those are the kind of men and women that God will turn out of Shiloh 2022. There is no witch in hell that will say “who is he?” no! He will be ‘dewitched’. Darkness can’t assault light and still exist. Anyone that touched you after you have been illuminated, has finished himself. Watch out for it. Watch out for it. Your word must come.
We saw how God subdued the expectation of Israel by the expectation-pregnant faith of Elijah. Expectation fired faith. The God that answers by fire let Him be God. They said it is well said because their area of specialization is fire as prophets of Baal. He suspended their power. How do I know expectation did it? He said, “I hear the sound of abundance of rain”. Go and check, nothing. Go and check again my friend. Church Gist. Expectation-pregnant faith of Israel subdued the nation of Israel. Stay expectant, God will turn the lives of everyone around at Shiloh. God quenched the fiery furnace through the expectant faith of Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego. Daniel 3:17. They expected God to do it and He did it. God stopped the mouth of lions because Daniel believed or expected his God to do so and He did it.
– Every of your inheritance you expect to be delivered at Shiloh shall be delivered.
– The days of everyone’s struggle shall be over.
– All that ever mocked you before will turn round to worship God with you.
“If I can touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole” she did and God confirmed her expectation into reality. Every one of your expectations at Shiloh shall be confirmed into reality. It is therefore wisdom to be pregnant with expectation without which there shall be no manifestation. What we don’t expect we are not entitled to experience. That man looked at Peter expecting to receive something and He got it. Each one of us shall get our own. We must keep our expectations high so as to make the most of the wonders awaiting us at Shiloh 2022. Psalm 62:5. Whatever God cannot do, let no man try. Jeremiah 32:27. Church Gist. Every negative verdict anyone will carry to Shiloh, you won’t see them again. Every curse on anyone’s life you won’t see them anymore. Whatever has been blocking your way shall be cleared as if it never existed. God is not looking for me for Him, He is looking for me for me. God had no issues, I have. God has no needs, I have. God cannot be cursed, God cannot be assaulted. Everything He says to do is for us. Come to me, you are struggling, this is not the way it should be. Matthew 11:28. I will give you rest, come and learn of me not come and cry. Come with meekness and you shall find rest for your souls. Psalm 25:9. Don’t claim to know what has no proof. Don’t be satisfied with knowing, press on to proofs. I said God told me He has a running budget for all His projects on earth. Is it not proven? You will be hearing that in a good report. Is it not proven? Running budget from Haggai 2:8-9. The silver is mine, the gold is mine. If I put it in your pocket you may run away so I am holding it. If you run away I put it in the hand of somebody else. I am going to heaven when my time comes smiling. I am not doing the things he is the one doing them. Church Gist. The silver is mine, I won’t put it in anybody’s pocket in case he runs away to Delta. We are just building churches, buying estates everywhere in the world. If it lacks proofs you are yet to discover it. Press from just high-sounding information to proven revelation. High sounding from Greek, I didn’t know one Greek and I am not planning to learn it. This is thus saith the Lord that I know and it is working like fire. They say it is Old Testament. Okay! “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want”, is it the New Testament? “I will set you above all the nations of the earth,” is it the New Testament? People just pick what they like and drop what they hate but not you anymore. Let every one of us like Joseph come hungry and thirsty. My word must locate me. I must locate my word at Shiloh in prayer, in praise, in worship, in testimony, I must locate my word.
Lift your hands and give Him glory for the word today.
I have noticed one thing, several people mistake church membership, church is more like a club to some people not the house of God. “We have to be there, my father is the one that brought Christianity to my village” and so what? You can’t be saved and not know. If there is anyone in this service today that has not experienced the reality of new birth, it is never late to be right. Someone in this church testified that he became a member in 2005 and got saved in 2011. Not that he backslid, he got saved for the first time. He liked the church, the way everybody dances and praises God, he likes the choir, he liked the preaching, he liked the grammar of the pastors so he decided to settle here as a member of the club. Church Gist. Church was like a club. I got saved on February 19th 1969. You don’t forget your birthday if they wrote one when you were born. They say when were you saved, you say around… you don’t have a birthday around. Every one of us was lost, grace found us. Let that grace find you today.
Psalm 105:12-14.
– Never again shall anyone in this family suffer an assault from the wicked one.
Psalm 105:15.
– From today, no harm on your life. When you are on the road, you will drive safely. When you are in the air, your plane will land safely. Church Gist. You are in the sea, your boat will not capsize. In your home, no domestic accidents.
– By this anointing, you shall no longer have evil reports. From your children, good reports only. From your spouse, good reports only. In all that pertains to you, good reports only. Church Gist. In the precious name of Jesus, before, after and during Shiloh only good reports. All through your many years ahead only good reports.
– No insecurity saga will catch up with you. The Lord will level your enemies before you. He will spread a table before you in the presence of your enemies.
– The verdict of Psalm 89:20-24 will come to pass in the lives of everyone.
Those who claim to have known it are the greatest needy. Let me tell you what we all need. He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, check spiritual vacuums that may be existing in your life. He has blessed us with all spiritual blessings. Church Gist. How much of that do we have? Remember, never think defeat. You are not redeemed to be defeated, you are redeemed to be victorious. See them as challenges and face them with smiles. By redemption, I am more than this. Far above it and then with joy present it to Jesus.
JESUS IS WAITING FOR YOU AT SHILOH.
– Grace not to disappoint Him, receive it now.
You are in your business, shut down my friend. You have been in it all through the year. Church Gist. You are at work? Get there for the evening sessions. No excuse. Create time for God and then you secure His attention.
– No more spiritual accidents, no more spiritual failure, no more spiritual laxity.
– God is turning the champion in you through your challenges.
– You are sure to testify at Shiloh ground, after Shiloh, in the coming year in the name of Jesus.
