GOD IS BUILDING THE ARK WITH HIS RESOURCES.
GOD SPEAKS ACCORDING TO HIS UNLIMITED RESOURCES NOT OUR INSUFFICIENCIES
PUT FORTUNE 2024 ON YOUR CAR, NO ARMED ROBBER UNDER HELL CAN TAMPER WITH IT.
PLACE IT ON YOUR DOOR, NO ARMED BANDITS WILL COME NEAR THE PLACE.
THIS YEAR IS DECLARED A DEATH-FREE YEAR FOR ALL STEWARDS AND FOR MEMBERS OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
AT AGE 22, I CAUGHT THE PROPHETIC WORD OF MATTHEW 6:33. THE FIRE OF IT GOT INTO ME, THE REALITY OF IT IS HERE TODAY.
GOD BUILT THIS FAITH TABERNACLE WITH HIS RESOURCES. HE’S BUILDING THE ARK WITH HIS RESOURCES.
UNTIL A PROPHETIC WORD IS RECEIVED AND BELIEVED, IT NEVER GETS DELIVERED.
GOD SPEAKS ACCORDING TO HIS INTEGRITY NOT OUR UNCERTAINTIES.
THE PROPHETIC WORD RECEIVED ALLAYS ALL FEARS.
CANAANLAND IS A PROPHETIC GROUND. IT WAS SPOKEN ABOUT 17 YEARS BEFORE IT CAME TO PASS.
GOD STILL SENDS PROPHETS THE WAY OF HIS PEOPLE TODAY.
THAT THERE ARE FAKE PROPHETS MEANS THAT THERE ARE GENUINE PROPHETS.
IT IS SO EASY TO KNOW WHAT IS FAKE AND WHAT IS GENUINE: IF WHAT A PROPHET SAYS DOES NOT COME TO PASS THEN YOU KNOW THEY ARE PRESUMPTIONS
NO HUMAN HAND CAN FULFIL A PROPHETIC WORD.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on TOWARDS FULFILMENT OF 2024 PROPHETIC AGENDA at LFC Annual Church Workers Summit 2024 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || 6th January 2024.
Genesis 22:16-18. Obedience provokes access to sworn blessings. For everyone who has taken time to be part of this Leadership Empowerment Summit where we unveil the vision for the year, you are returning with a sworn blessing. Every act of obedience is a step forward towards a sworn blessing. One of my most revered mentors called me to be in a meeting with him. It was most uncomfortable for me but I did. “So you came?” Church Gist. I said Yes Sir. “Kneel down, I impart to you the gift of ‘on time’. Before the need arises, the supply will be waiting.” I had no part to play in the meeting, it was just a test of obedience. It is passing the test of obedience that leads to a sworn blessing. As you make obedience your lifestyle from now and throughout this year, no devil in hell can reverse the blessings of God in your life.
– As nothing in your hand fails concerning His Kingdom, no area will fail in your life anymore.
– As you carry the cells as your babies to nurture, to care for, nothing will know failure in your life.
– As you stand in your leadership positions in your various levels, service units, statutory bodies and whatever you never miss the top in your pursuit.
Jesus, thank you for this moment. Now, lead us into your agenda today.
TOWARDS FULFILMENT OF 2024 PROPHETIC AGENDA.
Habakkuk 2:1-4. No prophetic agenda will see the light of day without faith. Acts 26:19. Every prophetic agenda is a heavenly plan delivered for man’s benefit. We all know that God’s prophetic agenda for His Church and His people is contained in scriptures, Heaven’s prophetic bank delivered for man’s profitable living. Church Gist. They call it the prophecy of scriptures. No prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation, they come from the mouth of God directly, tried in fire seven times to get rid of the human error in it.
For instance, we know that the end time Church is ordained to dominate the world. Psalm 87:1-7, 110:1-3. Micah 4:1-2. That’s God’s agenda for the end time Church. Church Gist. No matter what is happening around now, the end time Church shall be enthroned by the hand of God, reigning in power in the midst of her enemies.
A prophecy is simply the unveiling of God’s plan and purpose for a nation, a people or an individual. He speaks to the destiny of His people, their posterity and their eternity. Church Gist. Scripturally, there are two main sources of prophecies: First, the scriptures which is said to be a more sure word of prophecy. It contains God’s covenant with man. When one enters into that covenant, it commits God’s integrity to perform. Psalm 89:34. Isaiah 34:16.
Secondly, prophetic words come through the prophets sent our way. There were many widows in Israel but unto none was Elijah sent but unto a widow of Zarephath. Luke 4:25-27. He still sends prophets the way of God’s people today. Men and women who have access to God’s agenda on the earth today. Amos 3:7. That there are fake means that there are genuine. It is so easy to know what is fake and what is genuine. If what they say does not come to pass then you know they are all presumptions. What a blessing for those of us who are in Canaanland, you are sitting on a prophetic ground. This ground was spoken about 17 years before it came to pass. All those gathered around the world, you are gathered there at prophetic grounds. Church Gist. Where you are sitting was prophesied about years ago. In 1982-1984, 40 years ago. The Word will be going on in one spot and it will be seen on screens across the world. So you are sitting on prophetic ground! This is no make-up, it is not a formation, it is not ‘let us have expansion’. It is a divine agenda.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22. God still has prophets on earth and He unveils His agenda through them to the world around them. To see prophetic words come to pass we must believe, receive and put them to work. Blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of that very impossible thing – a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son. Church Gist. How? Just believe and I stretch forth my hand to make it happen. You will begin to see the seemingly impossible happen in your life without sweat as your faith comes alive and stays alive. It is not enough for your faith to come alive, it has to stay alive to bring God’s Word to pass in your life.
What are prophecies? They are not religious wishes but the unfolding of God’s divine plan. Joshua 21:45. All that God said to Joshua came to pass. Prophecies are not predictions, they are sworn verdicts. Isaiah 14:24, 27. Interestingly, prophecies carry an inbuilt capacity for fulfilment. The power that said it backs it up to fulfil it in the lives of those who care to believe it. Church Gist. So it is not enough to hear the Word of prophecy, it is important to put your faith in the line if you must see it come to pass. Because no human hand can fulfil a prophetic word. 1 Kings 8:18, 24. It is the hand of God that brings His Word to pass and that hand is stretched forth by faith. Isaiah 53:1. You believe to provoke the hand of God that fulfils the Word of God.
This is because God speaks according to what He can do and not what you can do. God speaks according to what He can do and will do if you believe. Some people have never seen any prophetic word come to pass in their lives, it is not God’s fault. The Word of God is error-free. It lives and abides forever, it will outlive every generation on earth. It is the beginning and the ending. No civilization can overtake the Word. God speaks according to His capacity, not our weakness. 2 Kings 7:1-2. That intellectual said “How shall these things be? Everything about these things passes through me. Church Gist. What do you know about international trade?” God said it, I believe it. That settles it. Did food come or not? It came through the instrumentality of lepers. Humourous God! Throughout the hard times facing the world today, you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord. You and your household shall never be ashamed.
God speaks according to His power and might not our weakness. ‘Go forward’! Red Sea in front? How? Go forward. Hebrew 11:29. Exodus 14:15. Church Gist. Oh yes, God said: Go forward, we are going forward. Not Red River oo, Red Sea. Not Red Stream, Red Sea; the Sea gave way.
-The barriers on your path to your promised land must give way.
Exodus 14:15-17. Mark 10:27. God speaks according to His unlimited resources not our insufficiencies. He built this Tabernacle (Faith Tabernacle) with His resources, He’s building the Ark with His resources. About 2,000 projects were dedicated last year with His resources. Church Gist. He still supplies today according to His riches in glory. He still supplies all our needs today as believers and as a Church from His riches in glory. Philippians 4:19. Psalm 50:10.
God speaks according to His integrity not our uncertainties. Some may have said: ‘This is my Church forever’ but there’s no forever yet, but they are not there anymore. Amen! Uncertainties! Same yesterday, same today, same forever! That’s your God. Ever reliable, ever dependable, always there – That’s my slogan. Always there! ‘Let’s see who will go with them to Ota’, I think we have seen, praise God. ‘I will never go’. Good luck! Church Gist. He speaks according to His integrity not our uncertainties. He is not a man that He should lie, you can count on Him, any day, any time. Until a prophetic word is received and believed, it never gets delivered.
2 Chronicles 20:20. And the Prophet said: ‘Sing’. Is that how to fight a battle’? They started singing and God started fighting (Laughing). And all the enemies were destroyed, not one of them escaped. 2 Chronicles 20:24. Every prophetic word received, believed, engraces us for steadfastness in stewardship. I caught the Prophetic Word of Matthew 6:33, I was 22 years old, the fire of it got into me, the reality of it is here today. Church Gist. The reality of that is here today! It keeps you going in season and out of season. It’s impossible for God to lie. Let’s go! Again in there! The Prophetic Word received, allays all fears, allays all fears. Psalm 91:16. So when anything is trying to threaten, when death threats come along; you despise it, to dominate it because you’ve received them (The prophetic words). Psalms 91:11.
-Not one soul among the labourers in the Vineyard at all levels in this Church shall go into the grave. Church Gist. This year is declared a death-free year for all stewards and for members of your household.
A prophetic word believed provokes bold declaration, bold dispositions. How can you be a worker here, you own the car not that it’s an official car, put ‘Fortune 2024’ because that’s your new realm. Fortune 2024, put it there. No armed robber under hell can tamper with it. Place it on your door, no armed bandits will come near the place. Whatever you can’t declare boldly, you can’t experience openly. Every prophetic word believed makes one to be daring in response. Church Gist. Exodus 7:1. ‘Behold! I have made thee a god before Pharaoh’ and you find Moses manifesting his divine status before Pharaoh. No mortal man will make those statements. He received and believed it and began to manifest it. You become unusually daring. I knew God said what things He said, seven of them in 1982, they were documented, they were circulated among our few members of the Power House. One by one! And right now in increasing dimensions, they are all things we can see and touch.
A prophetic word received transforms our thinking pattern. I’ve never been bothered for God, I’ve only been bothered for myself. What God says He will do, He will do if I will do what He tells me to do. So, let me bother about what He tells me to do; leave Him with what He said He will do. I can’t help God! You can’t help God! But your obedience of faith will put God on a line. So mind your part! God’s part is ever sure! It transforms your thinking pattern. Glory to God! And also, every prophetic word believed, stimulates joy and rejoicing. Church Gist. You live in the reality of the unseen when you believe in the Word, you live in the reality of the unseen. Isaiah 38:20. ‘Doctor have said I will die in one day’ but because God will heal me, I will sing my song. 🎵 I will rejoice and be glad in Him, I will rejoice and be glad and lift up my voice to sing praise to the Lord, this is the day He has made.🎵 It stimulates joy and rejoicing. Jeremiah 15:16. Psalm 119:162.
Finally, a prophetic word received or believed engenders peace within. Peace like a river. One way to prove that you believe is to enter into your rest. Whatever you’ve not entered into rest about, you don’t believe yet. Hebrews 4:3. You enter into rest! You hear me saying: ‘I’m not surprised that we are where we are, thank God for the grace that brought us there because we would have been surprised we are not there. Church Gist. I received hook line and sinker what He said. We were 63 people when God said, He would build Himself a 50,000-capacity Sanctuary at the base of the Ministry. It was never heard then. We’re not as anxious and ‘gbagbagba’. The Lord will speak peace unto His people! So when He speaks, His words are accompanied with peace, peace like a river.
Good news! The Wonder-double Visitation, a dramatic encounter that launched us into explosive Church growth came down, received, believed and as we took our part, God confirmed His Word. Within 8 weeks, unusual explosion of Church growth, the kind we’ve never known before. God came through again October of that same year, 2015. ‘I, the God of Wonder-double is visiting you and I will remain in your midst until you don’t want Me again’. That’s like an everlasting covenant. ‘I will remain in your midst until you don’t want Me again’, until you stop doing what I said you should do to keep manifesting My Wonder-double agenda in your midst. Everlasting covenant! Now, watch! Church Gist. At His command in 2019, this Church saw 5,000 plus Churches planted in one year. Never known in our midst, it would have been known anywhere else but we never saw it before. That was excess of double number of Churches that we had in the World. Praise God! And the COVID-19 reared his ugly head and God said: ‘COVID-19, I existed before COVID-19, I will be there after COVID-19, I’m forever there. You are planting 10,000 Churches this year’. And it came through! We saw Him planting 10,400 Churches in Nigeria and 1,300 Churches across 35 other nations of the World in spite of COVID-19 global shutdown.
-Nothing will shut down your destiny!
That happened in 2020! In 2021, God of Wonder-double came down upon our WSF platform and said: ‘Every assembly will have double number of Cell locations this year’. What? We were moving around 20,000 but COVID-19 came, some places shut down their access, so we won’t bring COVID-19 to them (Laughing). Church Gist. But God came through! In 2021, we saw 21,000 new Cells planted here. Sir, what other thing do you need to know that the God of Wonder-double is in this Place? He’s in the midst of this Commission, so whatever He says about this year, receive it, believe it and prove that you do, by acting on what your part is. Leave God to His part, He never fails! This God never fails!
-You will not know failure anymore.
We had such explosions across the various Churches, our various Churches around the World. Some had 200 percent growth of their cell system, same year. Again in the year 2022, at His command, we gained triumphant entry into 83 new nations within one year. The Wonder Double God is still here. He is a covenant-keeping God. The moment our part of the covenant is kept, God’s integrity commits Him to His part. Church Gist. You don’t have to beg God, just obey Him. We all know prophetic words are not presumptions. They are not permutations, they are not projections. Prophetic words are divine pointers to established oncoming events. They don’t draw from all things being equal. They don’t have to be equal.
God has no problem bringing His Word to pass in our lives but (He) has problems with our faith. He said to Peter, “Come!”. Peter was going on the sea, walking on the waters…but when he saw the great storm, Peter’s faith failed and he began to sink. Church Gist. When God says come, all the forces to bring you through are released, if your faith will be kept alive. Matthew 14:29-31. He said to His disciples, “Come! Let’s go to the other side”. That is prophetic. We are getting to the other side. We are not going to get lost in the middle…and then a great storm arose. “Master, we perish”. (He replied), “What’s happening? Why is it that you have no faith?” God has no problem bringing His Word to pass in our lives. He only has problems with our unbelief. Mark 4:35-40.
Little faith cannot stand the oncoming global holocaust. Build your faith! Until one’s faith fails, God’s Word cannot fail in his life. Luke 22:32.
– No one’s faith shall fail all through the year.
– Doing what God says will become a delight of your soul in the name of Jesus.
God is simply saying in His Word, “This is my plan. Do you really believe I can do it?” Matthew 9:29. Church Gist. So, what I do with you is according to your faith. All of His plans and purposes are sworn verdicts. They are for those that care to believe.
What is the Divine agenda for 2024?
1. Minimum double the current recorded attendance in every local assembly this year.
Let me hear your Amen! You say, “How?” Don’t ask me. Ecclesiastes 11:5.
– Minimum double the current highest attendance in every local assembly in this year 2024 is settled in Heaven.
2. Minimum double the current number of home cells in every local assembly this year.
The Lord said to me, “Driving personal engagement in Kingdom advancement endeavors will get the Church on the auto-frequency of growth”. Church Gist. Please note that God does not deal with us as groups. Yes! We have a network of operations in His Church but He reckons with our individual inputs. 1st Corinthians 3:8. A personal engagement mentality will give you your colorful place in destiny. It’s in you, it’s flowing through you. Philippians 2:13. Many get lost in the crowd. Isaiah 51:2. The Abrahamic covenant emphasizes the individuality of every covenant person. Let it begin with us. Let your personal engagement mentality come alive and stay alive.
– Your fortune package for 2024 will never be lost.
3. God is bringing on board what is called, ‘Kingdom Care Covenant’.
Give the Lord a big hand of praise. Doing good is good. Galatians 6:10. It was Abraham’s lifestyle (doing good). He gave to the man, Lot, all that he asked for. When he (lot) got into trouble, he (Abraham) went after the enemies to rescue him. Church Gist. Doing good is good. John 8:39. With bitterness, they drove Isaac from the land, he kept expanding and he still did them good. Doing good is our root. Joseph was sold into slavery and ended up in prison, yet he wouldn’t kill his brothers. Doing good is our root.
If every engraced Winner will be committed to caring for the challenged ones, we will have a most healthy, ever-growing and expanding Church.
– It’s your year of decision.
Those who do good to others never lack good. Ephesians 6:8. God is asking us also to introduce, ‘A Monthly Membership Establishment Fellowship’ to come up the last Thursday of every month. Church Gist…so we can give every new convert and new member a right hand of fellowship across our various places. Details coming forth later.
– The good thing is God’s agenda for the year shall not fail in your hand.
– The blessings shall not fail in your life.
– And together we shall rejoice as we see God’s Word come to pass.
— PRAYERS —
– Every ear that heard this and every eye that see this will return with a testimony.
– No Cell will fail to deliver.
– No Church will fail to deliver.
– Because God never fails, the grace for us not to fail in our part is our portion today, in the name of Jesus.
