HAPPY NEW MONTH TO EVERYONE. IT SHALL BE A MOST TRIUMPHANT MONTH FOR EVERY ONE OF US.
THERE SHALL BE NO WEEPING OR SORROWING IN ANYONE’S HOUSE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
WHAT IS GOD SAYING? “I AM HERE TO EMPOWER YOU FOR WEALTH IN THE MONTH OF MARCH”
THE JESUS ORDER OF WEALTH THAT HAS NO NOISE BUT WHOSE EVIDENCE AND PROOF EVERYONE CAN RECOGNIZE SHALL BE THE PORTION OF EVERY ONE OF US.
POSITIONS DON’T EMPOWER FOR WEALTH. THAT IS WHY SOME FELLOWS WHO WERE GOVERNORS YESTERDAY ARE NOW CIVILIANS OR WHATEVER TODAY AND THEY ARE FACING THE MUSIC OF LACK.
THE BIBLE IS NOT A HISTORY BOOK, IT IS A PROPHETIC BOOK
WE CELEBRATE REVELATION AS CHARISMATICS BUT WITH LITTLE EMPHASIS ON PRACTICE. SO YOU FIND REVELATION TURNING INTO FRUSTRATION
WHAT GIVES ME REST IN APPROACHING KINGDOM PROJECTS IS THAT GOD HAS A RUNNING BUDGET FOR ALL HIS ORDAINED PROJECTS ON THE EARTH.
DON’T RUN AROUND FOR GOD, HE IS TOO BIG FOR THAT.
GOD WILL NEVER NEED A HELPER. NO ONE OF US WILL EVER GROW TO A POINT WHERE GOD WILL NEED OUR HELP.
HOW? WHAT HAVE YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED? IS IT NOT OF GOD’S FULLNESS YOU HAVE RECEIVED?
LITTLE THINGS LIKE THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MAKE A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES.
GOD WILL NEVER NEED YOU AND ME FOR ANYTHING CONCERNING HIS AGENDA BUT WE NEED HIM FOR EVERYTHING CONCERNING OUR LIFE.
YES! PEOPLE HAVE GROSSLY ABUSED IT BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE TRUTH NOT TO BE TRUE ANYMORE.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on FUNDAMENTALS OF KINGDOM WEALTH 1 at March 2023 Week of Spiritual Emphasis Day 1 || LFC Canaanland ||
Shall we lift our two hands to heaven and give God thanks for this brand new month with brand new grace awaiting each one of us. Church Gist. Thank God for taking us from the month of February and taking us into the month of March where we are marching forward, we are going higher. Thank you Lord. There is no one like our God.
According to scriptures, the tree of life in the kingdom is ordained to bring forth twelve manners of fruit and to bring forth fruits every month of the year. So every month has a package by God’s divine design. It is not trying to look for what to say, it is an unfolded mystery of the Kingdom. Revelation 22. The fruit of that is for the healing of nations. It is to deal with our diseases and areas of inconvenience in our lives. Make us whole in all areas of our lives. Now you have heard from the prophetic focus that biblical covenant empowers for wealth. Church Gist. What is God saying? I am here to empower you for wealth in the month of March. God is here to empower you for wealth. He wants to empower you for next levels of wealth. He wants to roll away the shame and reproach of lack and want in your life.
Now listen, wages don’t make rich. It is the blessings of God that make rich. There are many high wage earners who are paupers. You won’t believe what they earn, if you hear what they earn you will be wondering what has happened. Do you know the reason why? It is the blessings of God that make rich and adds no sorrow. Positions don’t empower for wealth. That is why some fellows who were governors yesterday are now civilians or whatever today and they are facing the music of lack. They don’t empower for wealth but the blessings of the Lord make rich and adds no sorrow. It is not about volume, it is about well-being. Having what you need and what to give. May each one gain access to this mystery this time and walk straight. Church Gist. Wealth that is not traceable to man is what we are talking about. Wealth that is traceable only to God is what we are talking about. Not “if not for that man” there is no that man there. Wealth direct from God. 2 Corinthians 9:8. That is the level you are entering into not wealth that is actually wreck that came through manipulations. In the precious name of Jesus, the Jesus order of wealth that has no noise but whose evidence and proof everyone can recognize shall be the portion of every one of us.
Prayer: Lord engrace me not to miss the fruit of this month. I am here to be engraced to next levels in my financial life and I know it is by your light that I will get there. Church Gist. Grant me access to raw encounters with light that will change my level, change my story.
Lord open the eyes of everyone to behold wondrous things from your law as it relates to your heritage of riches for us. Thank you Father in Jesus name.
Happy New Month to Everyone. It shall be a most triumphant month for every one of us. There shall be no weeping or sorrowing in anyone’s house in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let’s begin tonight with declaring the prophetic focus for the month together – BIBLICAL COVENANT EMPOWERS FOR WEALTH. Say it boldly, say it confidently. It is your turn.
Let’s look at the following facts of scriptures as a kickoff. The Bible is not a history book but a prophetic book. Isaiah 55:10-11. It is not a history book, it is a prophetic book. Isaiah 34:16. None of this shall fail. The Bible is not a history book, it is a prophetic book. Every biblical prophecy is settled in heaven forever. Psalm 119:89. Settled in heaven forever. Heaven and Earth will pass away but not a jot of God’s Word will go unfulfilled. Settled in heaven forever. Isaiah 14:24,27. That is how reliable biblical prophecies are. That is how reliable biblical prophecies are. They are not predictions, they are the unveiling of heaven’s agenda. All we need to experience biblical prophecies is to believe and prove that we do by complying with the instructions that accompany them. This is my plan, this is what to do to access it. Church Gist. If you hearken to my voice and observe to do (Deuteronomy 28:1), not hearken to my voice and be quoting it around, then leave me to it, I will set you on high above all the nations of the earth. We celebrate revelation as charismatics but little emphasis on practice. So you find revelation turning into frustration. Revelation holds no value without compliance with the instructions that go with them. It is a brand new day for every one of us.
Ever reliable, ever dependable, ever sure. James 1:22-25. It is all about revelation plus application. It is what equals manifestation. Church Gist. Revelation plus application is what engenders manifestation. John 14:21. It is not enough to have revelation, it must be coupled with application for it to deliver any value.
We are in the last days, the days of fulfilment of biblical prophecies. There are five biblical prophecies that are ordained for this season.
1. These last days are the days of supernatural growth of the Church (Isaiah 2:1-3, Micah 4:1-2).
The Last days are days of supernatural order of growth in the Church. Church Gist. You can imagine ten folks holding your skirt following you to church next Sunday. Eruption! The days of influx of multitude in the Body of Christ.
2. The last days are days of supernatural insight that enthrones.
Heaven’s wisdom visiting the earth. People knowing the way forward. People gaining access to the deep things of life. Church Gist. That is the day we are in. Isaiah 60:1-3,8,22. I mean celebration of heaven’s wisdom on the earth. That is the time we are in.
3. There are the days of the supernatural change of story for God’s people.
Zephaniah 3:17,19-20. Dramatic, supernatural change of story is God’s agenda for the end time and that agenda includes you. Church Gist. You are in for the best of times.
4. The last days are ordained to be the days of the rise of giants in the Body of Christ.
Psalm 87:1-7. It is a prophetic word concerning the end-time giants that God has in plan. Obadiah 21. They are the days of the rise of giants.
5. The last days are the days of supernatural wealth.
Haggai 2:3-9. The silver and the gold are mine. I have a budget for the end time Church, I am only looking for worthy channels through whom to transmit it. Church Gist. Luke 16:11. God is out looking for trustworthy men and women to make them partakers of heavenly order of wealth. We will be dealing with that all through the month.
So the wealth of the Church is not an issue of chance or economic fortune. It is a fulfilment of divine agenda in the lives of those that can be trusted. Luke 16:11. Wealth in the kingdom is an entrustment, not an achievement. Church Gist. I have tried to lay that foundation even if that is the only thing we do tonight to help inspire your spirit to receive things that will be taught this month. By grace, they may not be things you find in any book yet. So connect with it and you will be glad you did.
Our teaching series for our midweek services is captioned FUNDAMENTALS OF KINGDOM WEALTH. If you don’t have a clean foundation on any subject matter, you can’t go far. Isaiah 51:1-3. The Church is what is called Zion in the Old Testament, God’s agenda for the end time is to bless the Church after the order of Abraham. That is God’s agenda for the Church. Then we have Galatians 3:14-15 which connects to that reality. The curse of the law is threefold: poverty, sickness and death. If you read from Deuteronomy 28:14-66, you can summarize them under those three categories. Church Gist. Hagin taught that several years ago. Poverty, Sickness and Death. Christ has redeemed us from the Curse of the law by being made a curse for us so that the blessings of Abraham might begin to flow in our lives. Galatians 3:13-14, 29. Galatians 4:28. So we are first born of Abraham and Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. So we have that heritage of wealth.
2 Corinthians 8:9. So it is one of the things He died for: to wipe off our lives the shame of lack and want. No one shall be mistaken for poor in this church forever. Revelation 5:12 – The sevenfold redemptive heritage of a believer. Jesus through his death and resurrection received for us that sevenfold package and we look at them. Church Gist. Most of them point to our marvellous enviable life on earth – power to silence the enemies, riches, wisdom, strength for exploits, honour, glory and blessings. They all point to our enviable God-ordained adventure on the earth. Every issue of shame and reproach must clear off everyone’s life. As we subscribe to the dictates of shame and reproach.
If the foundation be faulty, what can the righteous man do? Any building with a faulty foundation has no future. We are God’s building (1 Corinthians 3:9). Psalm 11:3. We need to wake up and connect with the fundamentals of covenant wealth. It is therefore building on a sure foundation of the world that secures a great future.
Some Facts to note about the Covenant of Financial Fortune.
Again, the last days according to biblical prophecies shall be days of earth-shaking moves of God that shall lead to multitudes flowing into the kingdom. This divine agenda shall require heavy financial resources for delivery. So it is purpose defined. God’s purpose for empowering His people for wealth is for the advancement, the beautification of His agenda for the end-time church. Church Gist. If we don’t get that right we will be far from where we are going. Far from it. It will be mere chasing after the shadows. The quality of anyone’s engagement with the truth of this purpose is a fundamental key to operating in that realm. Zechariah 1:17. God is empowering His people for prosperity to spread His kingdom on the earth. Check it, you find everything in scripture lining up to that.
There were these slaves in Egypt – God’s people. They were in slavery for 400 years. But at a point their heart turned after their God, “we will serve God. We want to stop serving these idols”. Exodus 3:24. When they left, He transferred the wealth of Egypt to them. In Chapter 35, He began to make demands for whosoever is willing hearted to give towards the rearing of the sanctuary. Church Gist. Everyone that offered an offering of gold, where did they get it? ‘who dash monkey banana?’. They were fetchers of water and hewers of wood. Fetchers of wood and hewers of wood don’t have gold. He transferred it to them for what he wanted to use it to do. Exodus 12:36, 35:4-6,21-22. He lavished wealth on them for that purpose. Without a genuine heart for God, no believer is a candidate Sir. If it is to have and be big, you are not part of it.
Wherever God enriches His purpose it is for a purpose. You can’t have anything except it is given. 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Everyone enriched by God through the covenant of giving will only sustain the blessing by following this. Kingdom dreamers are front liners in God’s empowerment for wealth. Church Gist. People with a heart for God, always dreaming of the next thing to do for God. They do good for the suffering and afflicted. There are people who don’t know how to do anything but to collect. There are people in this Church who are not tithers. So they open themselves up to the devourer, day and night. If you can’t tithe, how can you give to people who are in need? How? You can’t. It is not about the volume, it is about the heart, the tithe of #10 is #1. There is no argument to know that. Simple thing. “It is not enough” that is why it is never enough.
Nothing changes people’s story in the kingdom like obedience of faith. Not grudging obedience, not coerced obedience, obedience of faith. You are going places. So, the latter day will require lots of finances that is coming from God not “let’s talk to them”. Haggai 2:8-9. What gives me rest in approaching Kingdom projects is that God has a running budget for all His ordained projects on the earth. Don’t run around for God, He is too big for that. God will never need a helper. No one of us will ever grow to a point where God will need our help. How? What have you that you have not received? Is it not of my fullness you have received? Church Gist. I can’t be eyeing what I gave you. So let’s wake up. Little things like these are the things that make great difference in people’s life. God will never need you and me for anything concerning His agenda but we need Him for everything concerning our life. Yes! People have abused it grossly but that does not make the truth not to be truth anymore. God has a running budget. I caught that several years ago from Haggai 2:8-9 and He hasn’t changed.
Some basic demands for guaranteed returns on our seed sown:
We will be looking at the depth of the covenant in later teachings.
– Only seed sown willingly is acceptable to God.
2 Corinthians 8:12. Don’t steal to show. It hasn’t removed the curse. Sow in righteousness. Don’t go for cocaine and sow your seed from cocaine, you are a destroyer, it doesn’t fly. It doesn’t add value. Church Gist. You will be caught. Hearken unto me all you that love righteousness. Abraham said I will not take a dime from you lest you say you made Abraham rich. Don’t play games. Isaiah 51:1. The good news is God has come down to rewrite our stories.
– Every seed sown is a spiritual transaction, it is not a donation.
Every seed sown whether to the needy or in promoting His kingdom is a spiritual transaction that commits God to make good His promise. Genesis 8:20-22. When Noah reared an altar, God smelled a good savour. Heaven is the throne of God, God smelled a good sacrifice in heaven. When Solomon reared an altar of sacrifice in 1 Kings 3:3-5, God responded from Heaven. It answered in heaven. Church Gist. When David raised an altar of sacrifice 2 Kings 24:24-25, God smelled the savour in heaven and said to the destroyer “Stay now your hand”. It is a heavenly transaction. Philippians 4;15-19. They are spiritual transactions. Don’t carry a donation mentality in your giving. Proverbs 19:17. So you are not just giving a man or a woman or a family, you are lending to the Lord. We need that spiritual transaction mentality in our giving, it will go a long way.
I listened to my mentor yesterday, Dr Kenneth Copeland, he said some fellows said when the ministry began to grow up, “Kenneth must be doing something wrong because when you see a ministry growing like that, they must be doing something wrong”. He said something wrong can’t grow anything. Church Gist. You do something right to make things happen. All the efforts of the enemy was to drop that thing, it is not working but see the effect today around the world. Let’s be awake, this thing is real. In the name of Jesus, no one here and our lineage will be mistaken for paupers.
Psalm 112:1-9. That is how powerful the giving covenant is. It doesn’t stop with you. It goes over to your children, it goes over to generations after you. It goes on and on as long as they carry it on. Church Gist. Abraham’s seed is still blossoming today. That will be the same for all of our family.
– Poverty shall not find a resting place in your home.
– Land and want shall not be your portion.
In conclusion, no income makes rich. No returns in businesses makes rich, it is the blessings of God on what we do that make rich. Psalm 1:3. Church Gist. Let’s refocus our life on the source of original wealth. Never failing, ever-growing blessings.
– The days of struggling for survival are over.
Now the interesting thing about the covenant of wealth is that we are permitted to start from where we are. He said to Abraham, from the place where thou art, look northward and southward. Start your engagement from where you are. Church Gist. You don’t start climbing a tree from the top, you start from the bottom. Let everything about God excite you. Let everything about His Kingdom stir you up and watch how God will start decorating your life. Get involved, get excited.
Don’t ever say “I don’t have” that is what is finishing what you have. When it is in your heart to do good, God will put the means in your hand. Church Gist. God has come down to change our story and remove every trace of shame and reproach in our lives.
Can I tell you this? God showed me this in March 1982. This is March 2023, that is 41 years back. I have never begged. I have never borrowed to eat. I have not had to fast because there is nothing to eat. You have heard how I screamed “Ye! I can never be poor” when He showed me “my son David my prosperity plan is not a promise, don’t claim it” we are in the days of claiming and possessing. “It doesn’t answer to prayers. Church Gist. Stop wasting your time in prayers. It has no respect for fasting, it is a covenant. Until your part is played, I am not committed”. How many have heard me say that countless times? God told me and “what I say to one I say to all”. Your story has changed.
– The days of struggling for survival, groaning to pay school fees, those days are over in your life.
– The days of sweating to pay house rent, because you will own houses, those days are over in your life.
– My prayer is that whatever makes anybody ask you where is your God by reason of your way of life shall be turned into a testimony.
The same grace upon this prophet and upon this Commission that has helped us to live stress-free all these years is coming upon you this month and it will remain in your house forever. Church Gist. The grace to be a delightsome giver shall keep flourishing in your life. All these are tied to your choice. Your choice first and His grace follows.
