I HAVE BEEN SAYING YOU WILL GO BEYOND WHERE I HAVE GONE BUT IF YOU DON’T DO WHAT I DO YOU WON’T GET THERE.
IF SERVING GOD DOESN’T WORK, I WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST MISERABLE HUMAN BEINGS ON THE EARTH.
I HAVE A LOT OF GOD GIVEN ENEMIES AND I AM TRIUMPHING IN SPITE OF THEM. YOU CAN’T FOLLOW GOD AND BE A LOSER.
SHARE YOUR TESTIMONIES OF THE THINGS GOD DOES IN YOUR LIFE LAVISHLY, WE ARE MAKING OUR BOAST IN THE LORD.
THERE IS NOWHERE I HAVE GONE THAT THEY DON’T KNOW THAT JESUS HEALED ME OF TUBERCULOSIS. I SHARE IT LAVISHLY.
I KNEW WHERE I WAS WHEN HE MET ME AND I KNOW WHERE GRACE HAS BROUGHT ME TO
IF THIS CHURCH STARTED THIS BIG I WOULD HAVE DIED BECAUSE THE CAPACITY WAS NOT THERE.
GOD IS TAKING YOU SOMEWHERE GLORIOUS AND ENVIABLE LITTLE BY LITTLE, DON’T HURRY YOUR LIFE INTO HORROR
YOU HARDLY CAN FIND ANY MAN THAT PROSPERED BY LOTTERY.
WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP THEY SAID WE WERE SERVING GOD BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE WORK. WHERE IS THE MOCKERY NOW? GOD HAS TURNED IT TO GLORY.
ANYBODY TALKING AGAINST THIS CHURCH NOW IS OUT OF ENVY
WHEN WE TESTIFY THAT ABOUT 40,000 ARE ON OUR PAYROLL AND WE ARE REFRESHED THEY SAY WE ARE LYING
– Bishop David Oyedepo on UNDERSTANDING THE WONDERS OF DIVINE DIRECTION 4 at Next Level Banquet Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service ||
All that see the last Sunday of September, good news: you will see the next one.
On the last Sunday of September 2024, you shall be alive and well.
– No one shall be buried in your household.
– You will be there in your multiplied state.
May today be a day to be much remembered in each one’s life in Jesus’s name. This Next Level Service will open you up into a world of next levels. Church Gist. You will never be stranded or stagnated again. Your adventure in the Kingdom shall be forward ever and backwards never. So shall it be in Jesus’ precious name.
Just as a way of opening up this service, Operation 11th Hour Change of Story is a clarion call to join the ‘Come And See’ chariot as we see multitudes gathered unto Christ in this Church for the release of our own 11th hour change of story package. We have a heritage of continuous change of story in Christ. Proverbs 4:18. The path of the justified is ordained to shine more and more, not more and less. As we behold His Word we are changed from glory to glory. Church Gist. No one’s life will suffer a setback anymore. Serving God is our covenant guarantee for change of levels. “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” He changes people’s levels on the platform of stewardship. You can’t pray to a change of levels. Stewardship! You must know what it takes, you don’t wait for it. You engage for it. You can’t be promoted in an organization where you are not serving, if you have retired they can’t promote you anymore. Grace to stay on this platform all the days of our lives, may we receive it afresh today.
Please note: change of level is only the reserve of those who are in service. When you stop being in service, change of level is over. Serving God is the guarantee for continuous change of level. May that sink into your Spirit today. Christ laid the foundation of ‘Come and See.’ The two disciples of John that heard Jesus speaking followed him, that is Philip and Andrew. They asked him “Master, where dwelleth thou?” He said come and see. Jesus laid that foundation. Church Gist. John 1:35-39. We saw Andrew build on it, he brought his brother Simon to Jesus and he became Peter whom we know today. Philip also saw Nathaniel, his own brother and said “Come and see, We have seen the Messiah”. It is a ‘Come and See’ train. Jesus laid the foundation and we are building on it. Jesus’ strategy for bringing people into Himself.
Share your testimonies lavishly, we are making our boast in the Lord. I may not have shoes but I have peace. I may not have a car but I have joy. Share your testimonies lavishly, it is the way to bring people to Christ. It is a risk to be ashamed of Jesus, He may turn His back on you. There is nowhere I have gone that they don’t know that Jesus healed me of Tuberculosis. I share it lavishly. I knew where I was when He met me and I know where grace has brought me to. I know the kind of peace and joy I have, you can’t buy it in the market. Share your testimonies lavishly. Share the testimonies of the doings of God in this Church lavishly. Mark 8:38. If you are ashamed of Jesus, He said He will be ashamed of you. May that not happen to you. Jesus is healing the sick here, Jesus is changing stories and opening up destinies here, Share it lavishly, I have been on this chariot since 1976 and it is working like fire. Church Gist. May you plug in this time. I have been saying you will go beyond where I stop but until you do what I do, you can’t go there. No games here. He wants all of your household to be saved but can they be saved without repenting? How will they know if nobody tells them?
Now, somebody is saying why are you always coming forth with visions and revelations every day? It is the lot of my calling. I have spoken by the prophets, I have multiplied visions. That is what God does. Hosea 12:10. Can you imagine if only what we heard here was the Liberation Mandate? There was nothing on top of it? We will be out of existence and relevance. He multiplies visions and revelations to move us forward. There is no operation without somebody jumping into some new level. When the water is stirred whosoever first steps in shall be made whole. Church Gist. It is a stepping in that makes a difference. Inside the heart of my heart is for God to bring you unto the realm of grace that He brought me into. How things keep working on their own accord with stress and all you need to do is to open your heart. He told me “Keep saying what I ask you to say, whether they will hear or they will forbear. Keep saying it”. What is wrong with this man? Nothing is wrong with me, I want it to be right with you. I want it to be right with you. This 11th hour will transform some lives to the point of tears. May you be listed as one of them.
If this thing doesn’t work, I will be one of the most miserable human beings on the earth. I have a lot of God given enemies and I am triumphing in spite of them. You can’t follow God and be a loser. Just follow Jesus. Church Gist. He said, “He prepareth a table before me, my cup runneth over and my enemies are helpless.” You can’t enter into a covenant with God and be tormented by your enemies. Your time of freedom, genuine and lasting freedom has finally come. May no one ignore this chariot, may you ride with it.
Hosea 12:10. That is the lot of prophets. Hosea 12:13. There can’t be a performance without your faith. You believe the prophetic Word and then you have committed God to perform it. Church Gist. May your eleventh-hour package reserved for this covenant highway year come through to your hands. May you not be left behind in the name of Jesus.
We are rounding up today in our study on UNDERSTANDING THE WONDERS OF DIVINE DIRECTION. Be reminded that we are redeemed unto glory and honour and not shame and reproach. Isaiah 61:7. That is God’s agenda for His people. 2 Peter 1:3. He has called us unto glory and honour, not shame and reproach. We get through to that through the knowledge of Him. It is the revelation that brings us into whatever God has provided. It is by following divine direction that we arrive at our ultimate Promised Land. We saw Numbers 9, how God was leading Israel by the cloud. Every time the cloud moved, they moved. Number 9:15-20. They were led by the movement of the cloud just like they were led by the Spirit of God. Church Gist. God brought them out of Egypt and brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey. He led them out and brought them in. Deuteronomy 26:8-9. He brought them out and brought them in by leading them on the way. By the time He brought them out of Egypt, He didn’t lead them through the way of the Philistines although that was short. Exodus 13:17-18. He led them about. Allow God to lead you, don’t lead yourself. At the end of the day, you will laugh. Stop trying to lead yourself, you don’t have the capacity for it. Allow God to lead you. He will bring you to your Promised Land.
We are all aware only God knows tomorrow and He knows the end from the beginning. So following Him guarantees arrival at our Promised land. Isaiah 46:9-10. The good news is that there are no ceilings on our destiny as believers. Proverbs 4:18. He leads us there little by little, that is why people miss it. It is not boom, at a time. You can hardly find any man that prospered by winning the lottery. Church Gist. He won the lottery, it always ends up in a mockery. Proverbs 13:11. He leads us little by little. Deuteronomy 7:22. Zechariah 4:10. It is a golden destiny but it begins small. This church was once four. I call it three and a half because one was not very settled. Little by little it became 24 and little by little it became 90. Little by little it became 150. Little by little, not boom! God is taking you somewhere, don’t hurry your life into horror. Church Gist. God is taking you somewhere glorious and envious and you are going to get there. If this church started this way, I would have died. No! The capacity would not be there. I have told God severally, whatever you put in my hand that would not let you reach me again, don’t put it there. Wherever you take me to that will make your hand can’t reach me, don’t let me get there. Little by little! Church Gist. Do you know what? The common denominator is commitment and dedication to serving God and the interests of His kingdom. It is what makes the little by little go faster, move higher. Consistency in serving God changes people’s story at a higher rate. Commitment, undying passion. You keep going at all costs. You are getting there.
Let me say this to you and I am sharing this in truth before the God of heaven. There is no human hand behind where we are today. There is no human head, internal or external behind where grace has brought us today. The hand of God is enough. He brought them out by His own outstretched arm, they tried for 430 years and they couldn’t come out but when God’s hand came forth, He brought them out. Do you know why? They were set to serve Him. Exodus 4:23. So if you are not ready to serve Him and you want Him to be serving you, you won’t last here. But serving God commits Him to blessing you. Thou shall serve Him and He shall bless. It is your turn to be blessed. Exodus 23:25-26. All those packages belong to those who are serving Him. Malachi 3:17-18, 4:1. Now you are running somewhere, a time is coming that you won’t have where to run to. I am telling you as a prophet, a time is coming when every nation will have enough trouble to bother about. There will be nowhere to run to. Church Gist. You better run under His cover. Malachi 4:2. Everything is burning down but you are going forth and growing up for serving Him. Enjoy it. You are not serving a man, you are not serving a Church. You are serving Jesus. I was not a pastor when I committed myself to serving the interests of His Kingdom. I wasn’t called to ministry, I wasn’t looking for it. I wrote a vow to commit myself to it. I called it, the jackpot of life. I knew everything would answer to it. Not one word that came through that day has failed. God is going to decorate your life.
Don’t let anything put you off. A young man here failed in his business and there was this Covenant of Business Breakthrough, he was sharing the fliers around and he ran into someone in Ikeja and he said “You better don’t deceive yourself. Where is your own breakthrough that you are inviting other people to. They are just deceiving you”. He was a man with one pair of trousers and one pair of shoes. He just walked him out and he continued and something just broke forth. You can’t bear His reproach and not enjoy His glory in return. Church Gist. You can’t! Ask what they said to many of us growing up. “Awon omo yi oni se (these children don’t have work). Se won ni relation ti ole advise won ni? (Don’t they have relations that can advise them? Won ni se…(they don’t have work)….. Did I tell you I’m not saved?” Where is the mockery today, it has been replaced with glory. Anybody talking against this Church today is out of envy. There is no problem, it is out of envy. The talk against your life is out of envy. So keep pressing because you are not there yet.
By following the one God sent before me, I am commanding results after their order. Follow what I am telling you, I am not lying. You have been here. What have we struggled for here that you know? Your days of struggling for anything are over. What have we struggled for as a ministry that you know? People have cheated us over and again. We have not cheated one man. Something is changing in your life. Church Gist. God never lies. Some people are already on one level of the highway of life. It will go higher. Some are yet to come on that highway, you are getting there right now. Before this season is over, everybody is testifying. We belong to a doing Kingdom not a talking Kingdom, whatever He tells you to do, do it. Not preach it, not quote it. Do it! It is your turn. No ceiling in your destiny.
Now let’s examine the costs of misdirection. No matter how experienced or anointed a believer is, misdirection can be most costly if not deadly. May each one’s value for divine direction come alive because when God leads the difference is clear. When you are where God is leading, the difference is always clear. You have peace. Proverbs 3:17. You can’t buy peace with money. Church Gist. We entered this jungle and we had peace like a river. Proverbs 14:12. One of the most anointed men in scriptures if you check Acts 22:17-22, is Paul the Apostle. As anointed as He was, by missing that instruction he suffered a lot of humiliation. That is not you, allow God to lead you. Stop making explanations. Let Him lead you, He knows the end from the beginning. Jonah was sent to Nineveh and he headed on for Tarshish, that was his schedule and he wouldn’t change it. He ended up in the belly of a fish. He cried aloud in his affliction. The prayer he didn’t pray in the temple, he prayed inside the belly of a fish and God had mercy. The fish vomited him out and he ran there straight. Misdirection can be costly if not deadly. I am sure it was the fish that stopped the fish from eating him up.
Wonders of Divine Direction.
1. It alleys all fears.
Any direction you are going that fear is tormenting you, check it. Is it the Lord leading? Psalm 23:1-4. Divine direction alleys all fears. Fear has torment. Most of the diseases today are out of fear. Fear has torment. There was a man that I was told they gave a report that he had COVID-19 and his entire system came down. They came back to him and said it was not his report that it was another man’s report. Then he came back again. He was dead. The fear of death gripped him. Church Gist. Thank God they quickly got back to him, he would have died. That’s how tormentous fear can be. When God leads, fear clears the way. You won’t suffer the torment of fear again. Allow God to lead you. Psalm 37:5. Somebody’s story is changing. Divine direction alleys all fears. Allow God to lead you and fear will clear the way for you.
God told Moses to get back to Egypt at the age of 80. I tried to set them free and I couldn’t succeed at 40, what am I doing there at 80? Moses took his wife and two sons and headed back there. Church Gist. It was a suicidal mission but he had no fear. When God leads, you have no fear.
2. Divine direction secures supernatural victory.
2 Samuel 5:18-20, 25-26. David enquired. Enquire too to know where you are going. Your victory is guaranteed when God is the one leading. He never returned from any battle defeated. He always goes with the led. When God goes with you, who can be against you? Who can overcome you? Who can conquer you? Church Gist. Allow God to lead you and supernatural victory will become your natural experience. You are conquering without fighting, you are winning without sweat. That is what follows those who are led by the Lord. May you keep making enquiries from henceforth to know the right way to go.
The massive wall of Jericho came down flat. How? God. The wall didn’t fall down, the wall sank. They followed God’s instructions and the wall sank. This wall is so massive that it could take six chariots in a race. Church Gist. So it is not a wall like we have around here. Even if it hell, it would still be a wall. But the wall sank as they followed his direction. Every barrier on your path will sink as you allow God to lead you. Joshua 6:1-20.
3. Divine direction keeps the guided ever refreshed.
Psalm 23:1-3. Divine Direction keeps the guided ever refreshed. Tension free. That rich man was very sorrowful because he had much riches. Riches don’t refresh people. Riches tense people up most times. They don’t know what will happen next, they are ever apprehensive because the source of it is not genuine. When it is genuine, they are so afraid because God is not behind it. They don’t have divine backing. When we testify, they see us as liars. How can they be so refreshed and relaxed? How? You have about 40,000 on the payroll and you are not tensed up and you are not praying and prophesying. Church Gist. Allow God to lead you, you will be ever refreshed. For all those who are close to me, you know how refreshed I am. There is no day I don’t laugh. That day won’t meet me in this world. I laugh in the morning, I laugh in the afternoon and I laugh at night. I laugh about your coat, I laugh about your tie, I laugh about your haircut. Because he that sits in heaven shall laugh. Where am I seated? So what should I do? If you are not laughing, where are you? He keeps you refreshed. May you be free from all forms of tension from now.
Allow God to lead you, don’t rent a house where you can’t find sleep. You know what your level is and you have gone to rent a house about 10 times your level. You’ve reduced your sleep 10 times. Church Gist. As the thing is coming due, your blood pressure is rising. Amen! Nobody led you there but yourself. Start from where you’re, enjoy your little beginnings, the end will be great. Somebody’s story is changing. Grace to subscribe to His leading as your new way of life, receive it right now. Lift up your right hand everybody and give God thanks, alot of things have come through since this month began on this subject. Thank Him for it, thank Him for light. Church Gist. In Jesus precious name we’ve prayed.
It’s one thing to hear this, it’s another thing to put it to work. Grace to put these things to work, receive it now in the name of Jesus. Church Gist. Grace to make enquiries on time, on the steps you’re taking so you don’t take a step into the trap of death, receive it now in the name of Jesus.
Now, today is our Next Level Banquet day and I’ve mentioned a few things about this. You’ve a next level heritage in Christ. Can I have you say with me “I’ve a next level heritage in Christ.” Say it convincingly. Church Gist. I found this simple truth in 1981 and I said to myself “I’m not ready for a better last year till I leave this world” because the path of the just is as a shining light ordained to shine more and more, not more and less, depending on circumstances, more and more. I saw that from Proverbs 4:18, I was in a 5 days of waiting on the Lord…amazing! No better last year, no better last year. He leads forward only. He never leads backward. You’ll never suffer a backward trend anymore in your life.
The path of the just simply means the path of the justified and we’ve been justified by the blood of Jesus. Church Gist. So, we’re the one He’s talking about. It’s prophetic. The path of the justified is ordained to be like as a shining light that’s ordained to shine more and more. So, I speak to your life and family, there’s no going backward anymore. Church Gist. A backward trend is not your portion. I said “a backward trend is no more your portion.” For every child of God under the sound of my voice today, you’ll never suffer a setback anymore in your life..and this comes through by applied revelations. As they behold Him as in a glass, they’re changed into the same image from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord. Church Gist. As they begin to see more light in the Word, He’s bringing changes to them as they apply themselves to it.
I heard Him say to me one time some 39 years back, He said “my son there’s a place for you on top if you’re interested”, I said “yes Lord, I am.” He said then whatever I tell you to do, do it. Deuteronomy 28:1. Church Gist. So, it’s not revelation this time like the Charismatics that we celebrate, it’s applied revelation that changes people’s stories. What do I call it…applied revelation. Applied revelation is what changes people’s stories not revelation. It’s applied revelation. There’s no one in this Church who doesn’t know that we’re commanded to study. Isn’t it? 2 Timothy 2:15. Now, how many are studious? Church Gist. How many read their Bibles in the course of the week until they come to Sunday Service or if they attend once in a while midweek service and they look at the screen…and they say “the lightning system in our Church has really improved”-commentators. Applied revelation not religious something, you jump into it.
You can imagine God said this is the place and we don’t come, what will happen? Can He force us to come? No. We’ll just miss it. You’ll just miss it and somebody else will take it. One of my senior colleagues said to me one time, he said that’s the place God told him that he’ll have their Church, I said if God told you, you better move fast. He’ll give it to somebody else. Somebody else took it and he lost it…I’m not sure if he has found it. I’m talking about 1983. You better jump when God speaks. Jump! It answers to those who dive. God’s Word does not answer to those who drag but those who dive. Church Gist. You’re going places. Can I have you say with me with confidence “next level is my heritage in Christ, I’m not redeemed to suffer setback, next level is my heritage in Christ, I refuse to sell off my birthright, so help me Jesus.” You’re going forward.
So, next level in the Kingdom is triggered by obedience of faith as we saw in the following examples:
-Abraham “get thee out,” he departed. “Take your only son,” he went…then next level blessings. God blessed him in Genesis 12. He swore a blessing on him in Genesis 22. You’re changing level. If you check the 2 instances, obedience of faith-instant, prompt.
God told Moses, “get thee back to Egypt to bring out My people” in Genesis 3 and in Genesis 4:17-20, he departed. The widow of Zarephath in her eleventh hour of affliction, cooking her last food for her and her son to eat responded to the prophetic charge and a brand new world opened up to her. Obedience of faith is key to change of level heritage in Christ.
We’ve Peter. He gave his boat out in his frustrated state. Church Gist. Don’t mind where you’re, just do what he says. Don’t mind your situation right now, just do what He says to do. Peter was washing his net as a recorded failure, as accepted failure and was on his way going back home…and Jesus said put your net back, in his frustrated state, he obeyed Christ…and the fisherman became the fisher of men overnight. Church Gist. Luke 5:1-8,11. Peter became the rock. Amen…and we saw the rock emerge on the day of Pentecost, we saw the rock manifesting all through the Acts of the Apostles. From his frustrated state, he was turned to a celebrity. Don’t mind where you’re now, don’t let the devil use where you’re now to make you disobey God. Obey God to change your story. Just respond sir. Next level is about obedience of faith. Obedience of faith is what secures our next level heritage. Let that come alive in you. Church Gist. Somebody is waiting for his story to change financially before he begins to give, it won’t change until you start giving. It won’t change! I’ll serve Him when things are right, things will never be right until you start serving Him. Church Gist. Serving Him is what makes things right. So, don’t put these things before the other. Settle down.
Someone was going to eat her last meal and then you said give it to me, how? Are you wicked? She would’ve been cursing him but in her stupidity she obeyed and she was feeding fat for three and half years until the Lord sent rain back to the land. Last meal lasted them for three and the half years. Church Gist. Obey God first, obedience may be costly but the end result is priceless. Can I tell you what? People serve God to a point where they see some rewards and they turn their backs…and the rewards begin to dwindle until it vanishes. Church Gist. God has more for you in stock than all you’ve seen, keep following, there’s no end to change of level, keep following. Where you stop is where the changes stop, keep following. Obedience may be costly but the end result is priceless. Church Gist. Keep following, keep following. Thank you Jesus.
Now watch, we don’t wait for next level in the Kingdom, we engage with God’s commandment to experience next level. We don’t wait for it. Joshua 1:3. You don’t wait for change of level in the Kingdom, you engage with God’s commandment to experience change of level. Church Gist. It’s not a thing you wait for, they can’t pray it over you sir, they can pray over you to receive grace to do what changes level but it doesn’t change people’s level. Praise God!
Next level is a result of believer’s delightsome obedience to the commandment of scriptures. Church Gist. You’re not being coerced, you’re not being pressurized, it’s out of your free will and with excitement. Psalms 112:1-3. “He delights himself greatly in God’s commandment, he’s not being pressed, he’s not being coerced.”
Remember, all the harvests of the field will perish when joy withers away from the hearts of men. Joel 1:12. Church Gist. It takes joy to secure your harvest in stewardship. Deuteronomy 28:47-48. You won’t suffer that in Jesus name. So get excited my friend, stop carrying stony faces, get excited! Every input in the Kingdom is a privilege. He can use stones to replace you and me…it’s a privilege. Church Gist. You know the joy of David in giving? David knew that what was given was out of what God gave him, so it’s not what he achieved. 1 Chronicles 29:3,14. You brought nothing to the world, what you’ve in your hand is by grace, trusted to your hand to see what you will do with it. You do a wrong thing with it, you won’t see it again. You do a right thing with it, it keeps flowing. 1 Chronicles 29:3,5,14.
I tell co-pastors, “you need your private purse, the Church’s purse is not your purse, it’s Jesus’ purse.” I’ve been saying that from the beginning. Some who didn’t believe what I was saying, it all finished. It’s a matter of time, it’s finished. 1 Chronicles 29:5,14 “It’s out of what you’ve given us that we’re giving you,” that’s what motivates anybody’s giving. You’re not helping God, God doesn’t need your help. It’s out of what He gave you that you’re giving. Won’t He give Himself first? Now who’s paying the price for the Ark? What have you paid there?…and yet we’re not stealing, we’re not playing games…that’s how humorous God can be.
He can do without us. He calls us to bless us, nothing else. Church Gist. The greatest event of your life from henceforth shall be without sweat…just keep following God, let His hand just be on your life. When His hand is on your life, things will just keep going at His frequency. God is never in need. Somebody’s story is changing. I made this sarcastic statement that many people would’ve rejected but I had an inspiration from God, He said tell them, I was going for a meeting…”that far be that I the Almighty would depend on all your wretched purses for your wretched purses depend on me for replenishing.” I gave it to them the way God gave it to me. I said God told me when I was coming here “that far be that I would depend upon your wretched purses.” Do you know why it’s wretched?…compared to His riches. There’s nothing we’ve that’s not wretched.
If you’re genuinely pursuing after God, goodness and mercy will not stop pursuing after you. Church Gist. So, settle it in your heart, God is not a usurper, He’s a rewarder. God is not a robber, He’s a rewarder. Every investment of time, energy and resources in God’s Kingdom returns to you in multiplied form…that’s what you’ll have. This is why we can only experience next level by timely response to whatever the Word commands. Church Gist. Whatever He tells you to do, do it and then the water was turned to wine like a dream of the night…their shame was wiped away. A man born blind, Jesus said go to the pool called Siloam…is that the way to tell a blind man who never saw? How will he get there…let him go and find out. “But until you get to Siloam, you’ll remain blind.” So, he went and came back seeing. John 9:1-8.
The disciples missed their way and they began to fish and caught nothing all night…Jesus walked up to them in the morning…”children have you any meat, they said no, he said cast your net to the right side and when they did, they enclosed great multitude of fishes. Church Gist. God is still God in Heaven. Timely response to His commandments will always bring about a change of story, a change of level. May the present instruction enjoy your timely response in getting people on to Christ so He can turn your story around in the name of Jesus Christ.
Serving God faithfully and fruitfully is a covenant qualifier for next levels. Luke 19:2,12,13,17-19. You’re faithful, you’re fruitful…you’re qualified for next level. You’re faithful, you bring result, you’re qualified for next level. God does not reward effort made, He rewards result obtained. “If everybody in this Church shares 50% of my passion for souls, next Sunday, there will be no room here. Church Gist. We still had 400+ of our new converts in Church last Sunday. Amen. Church Gist. To get 2 that you’ll nurture, you’ll carry on your back, you put feeding bottle in their mouth…for 7 weeks…”you know you see, I travel a lot these days, I’m not Papa o. Papa is really suffering, well done.” If you know the multitude of people that fear this name, this short man…they won’t tell you…they’re numberless. Church Gist. They know when he speaks, it happens. God is on your side, He’ll change your level. Commit yourself to it. If it is 2 souls to nurture whether they’re the main guard, guguru sellers or meti…anyone that’s a soul. “All souls are mine.” It doesn’t have to be an executive. You won’t miss it. Daniel 12:3. There are many people in this Church, no matter how long it takes for Christ to arrive, they will never forget them…they’ll be referencing them in their families, in their communities, in their nation and across the world.
Where you’re now may not indicate anything like that but that’s where you’re going. Just do what He says. How can a cupbearer become a Governor, how?…passion for God and the interest of His Kingdom. It’s your turn. This year will not end without your visible change of level.
Dedication to serving God and the interest of His Kingdom will turn a giant out of a dwarf. Church Gist. The parable of the mustard seed, it’s the tiniest of all seed but when it’s dedicated, it grows up and throws out branches – great branches. Mark 4:32. You dedicate yourself to God, He changes your story supernaturally. John 12:24-26. When the Father honours you, no devil can dishonour you. Many will secure God’s honour this time, they will call you up in places where you least expected, they will put in your hands what you could not imagine in the next 50 years as you secure God’s honour.
Commitment to soul winning will make a star out of any ordinary believer. Church Gist. Your star is rising in the name of Jesus Christ. Now in conclusion, arise that’s a wake up…get on your feet because your light is come…walk in that light and the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon you. If you want to see the glory, arise…take steps in line with the light. Isaiah 60:1-3. It’s your time for a flight. You’ve been walking, some have been crawling, some perhaps have been walking, some have been running but it’s time for your flight. When you walk in the light that God sheds on your path, the Bible said that “I guarantee that you’ll shine.” Church Gist. Gross darkness may cover the earth but it will be minus you. The Gentiles will come to your light and their kings to the brightness of your rising. It’s your turn. Amen.
The goodnews is you’re going higher, you’re changing level, you’ll never go down anymore. I speak the Word of blessing on your obedience. Church people must come to know this. Church Gist. “Papa even prayed for me,” it won’t change anything. His blessings answer on our obedience. If you won’t believe, I can’t pray healing on your life…the faith is your responsibility, the proclamation is my responsibility…so you believe and then I proclaim then God confirms. Church Gist. As I proclaim next levels adventure for you in life based on your obedience, no devil can stop it.
Just like this ministry has never known a set back in 42 years running, your life will never know a setback again…your family will never know a setback again, your children will never know a setback again. Church Gist. The works of hand will never suffer a setback again, you’ll never suffer a setback in your career, not in your business, your spiritual life shall never suffer a setback again. Your love for God will keep burning hotter and hotter by the day and you’ll keep flying higher and higher by the day. Glory to God. Amen.
One of our daughters here went out to share flyers for Covenant Day of Marital Breakthrough. Church Gist. So, this woman that was already downcast asked “I’m tired, I’m not looking for anybody to marry anymore…so she asked the lady are you also married?” She said “no, I know my own will be settled tomorrow” – that’s a winner for you. Odiaka is the name. Church Gist. The following day, as the service ended around 5pm, she had a first proposal for many years…the lady she invited, on Monday got her testimony…that’s the power of come and see. You go boldly, “I know my own will be settled.” That my son said “Jesus, I’ll follow you to the end” after he was insulted. He didn’t go far before Jesus turned his story. We’re going to experience God in a new way. Church Gist. You must tell some people this week Jesus is changing stories here and watch over them in prayers till you bring them to Christ…then, He’ll touch their lives. They don’t have time to listen to you, bring them to Jesus, He’ll touch them. Thank you Jesus.
