YOU CAN’T BE SOLD OUT TO GOD AND THE INTERESTS OF HIS KINGDOM AND NOT STAND OUT.
A LOT OF MAJOR FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES HAVE SHUT DOWN THEIR AVIATION DEPARTMENT
TO SHOW THAT GOD MADE US TO FLY WE HAVE NOT STOPPED FLYING SINCE 1996.
GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR YOUR MONEY, HE IS LOOKING FOR YOUR HEART.
THERE IS NOTHING WE INVEST IN ADVANCING HIS KINGDOM THAT DOES NOT RETURN MULTIPLIED
WE ARE ESTABLISHING FOOD BANKS AND CLOTHING RACKS ACROSS OUR VARIOUS AREAS.
NO WINNER WILL BEG FOR BREAD OR LACK CLOTHES ON THEIR BACK.
WE DON’T HAVE HARD TIMES AROUND US.
WALKING WITH JESUS ERADICATES HARD TIMES.
WE HAVE NEVER SEEN HARD TIMES IN THIS MINISTRY.
CARING FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEM MOVES PEOPLE FORWARD NOT BACKWARDS
– Bishop David Oyedepo on SERVING GOD AND THE INTERESTS OF HIS KINGDOM PAYS THE UNMATCHABLE at New Dawn Banquet Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| 3rd March 2024 || First Sunday Service ||
Every change of story is stirred by access to the light of the Word. Your change of story has come. Isaiah 60:1. The entrance of His Word gives light. When your heart is open and the Word enters, darkness checks out. Church Gist. May every work of darkness resisting your way forward, standing on the way of your walk with God clear off today.
Lord, we thank you. We give you glory and praise in Jesus’ name.
Jesus hung on the cross to pay the ultimate price to bail man out of eternal damnation. John 12:32. This is our resurrection month. Jesus hung on the cross and we celebrate it on Good Friday and the purpose is to draw all men unto Himself. Understanding the times and seasons is vital. We are going to be in partnership with Jesus this month to see as many men as we can find brought to Jesus. There was no kind of miracle that was not in the Old Testament. Jesus didn’t come to work miracles, they were already here. God brought out the children of Israel from Egypt and fed them for free for 40 years. Church Gist. No health challenges, their legs were not swollen, their clothes didn’t wax old on them. He was a cloud unto them by day and created warmth with the fire of fire by night and to keep the wild beasts away. All kinds of testimonies, Elijah’s dry bones brought the dead back to life. All kinds of testimonies, He came to draw all men to Himself. He came to bring people out of darkness into light. We are going to be in partnership with Jesus this month. I am going to encourage every living Winner to be part of it.
We have two main outreaches coming in next Saturday and the one that follows across our districts and zones that may be selected to invade specific places for Jesus giving them the good news. “Jesus died for you and He loves you, come on in.” Be part of it. Not just in going out but in praying fervently for the greatest harvest of our time, this month. Be part of it. Even though there will be corporate outreaches, be very personal in your engagements because everyone shall be rewarded according to his own labour. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 3:9, John 4:36. So you can get engaged on the prayer altar for our aged people and nursing mothers. Praying for every contact this week to turn their lives to Jesus. Anybody who can eat can pray, so be part of it. Be on the prayer altar or out there in the field or both.
2. I saw that thanksgiving is fast becoming like a religious activity among God’s people.
We owe God thanks. Everybody! The breath in our nostrils demands thanks for the one who put it. Psalm 3:5. So when they say end of the month Thanksgiving, don’t sit down and say “What am I thanking God for? I have been looking for a job, I didn’t get one.” Did you ask for life before you got it? When did you ask for life last? Oh Lord, keep me alive. Your birthday passed and you are nonchalant, you don’t want your days to be cut. Church Gist. Celebrate God for your birthdays, the birthdays of your children and the birthdays of your spouse. Thank God for another birthday. God is not looking for your money, He is looking for your heart. Don’t assume God’s business in your life. So from today henceforth, every Thanksgiving day come prepared with a list that you are going to be thanking God for. Thank God for your health, it is not that cheap. Thank God for having a place to lay your head, not everybody has it.
We owe God monthly thanks for the tree of life that bears twelve manners of fruits which was every month. Revelation 22:2. There is no month without God’s goodness at work in your life. So thank God intensely. “What am I thanking God for? This is where I was last month.” You will be worse if you don’t do this. Thank God you are on medication and it is working, some are on medication and it is not working. The Lord told me and I shared that yesterday at the Leadership Empowerment Summit, people should know why they give thanks. Church Gist. I have not missed one day of thanksgiving in my life, that I will come without something to say Jesus thank you. Thank you for light, thank you for direction, thank you for correction. Be thankful so you don’t become tank empty.
Now, why do we sing hymns? Matthew 26:30. Ephesians 5:19. Colossians 3:16. The Church is built upon the foundation of the Apostles, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone. Whatever Jesus taught and the Apostles did is an instruction. Church Gist. We sing hymns to speak to ourselves. We are bringing in the sheaves this month. We are speaking to ourselves about the harvest, the field is white. Somebody is blessed already.
The prophetic focus for the month is SERVING GOD PAYS THE MOST. It pays not just the most, it pays the incomparable. There are no such returns on planet Earth. The unmatchable. No organization in the world will ever match the returns on serving God. Thank God for a great job and a great business, none will ever compare in returns with serving God. Mark 3:34, Mark 10:30-31. Some people live for 20 years and some people live for 100 years, do you know why? He multiplies their time. They live and live and they are not worn out, do you know why? He multiplies their strength. Church Gist. They plan and purpose for the advancement of His Kingdom and become smarter by the day, why? He multiplies their brain. Church Gist. There is nothing we invest in advancing His Kingdom that does not return multiplied. What is a hundredfold? 100 by 100. 100 by 100 means 10,000. I made a 10,000 return interest rate. Have you heard it anywhere else? 10000 returns on investment. How real is that? Ask your Church, your church will tell you how real it is. A church that never begs or borrows and never goes down.
I congratulate you for your big business and career but without a place for God at the centre of your life, your future is bleak. This is no guesswork. Back, on 3rd October 1984, I told our church when we were believing God for three thousand naira to pay for the lease of the church facility. I said to them, ”Now that we are all at the same level, understand what I am saying. A time will come when a number of us will take off in the air and you start grumbling that you don’t know what they are using. Let me tell you what I am using. I am sold out to God.” You can’t be sold out to God and the interests of His Kingdom and not stand out. In 1984, I was below sea level, they were around sea level. Church Gist. But I knew where going out for God would take a man. 3rd October 1984, not 1924. My powerful beetle was on the street, it doesn’t require a horn. As it moves, the horn is blowing. I wasn’t talking about flying, I was talking about changing levels. Between 1984 and 1996, we were already flying and to show that He made us to fly we have not stopped flying. Nobody flies for long. Go and ask them. Major Fortune 500 companies shut down their aviation department. The day I will stand to deceive you will not meet me on this earth. You better open your heart. He said, “I stand on the door and knock, if you open I will come in.” You are the one to open it. There is no prayer of Papa that can change your story like engaging with God.
Obedience is the hardest currency and has the highest purchasing power. Deuteronomy 28:1-2. May the Spirit of obedience come upon every one of us afresh today. There is nothing God is asking you to do for His advantage, it is to your advantage. Church Gist. Every commandment of God is for your own advancement. May the month of March mark the dawning of a new era in the life of everyone. May this month mark the dawning of a new era in your life.
SERVING GOD AND THE INTERESTS OF HIS KINGDOM PAYS THE UNMATCHABLE. That is what we are looking at as our series of teaching for our Sunday Services this month. You can’t get it anywhere else, no country developed or underdeveloped has it. No G-8 nation has it. Exodus 23:25. To bless means to enrich. Proverbs 10:22. You won’t beg during these hard times. You won’t get water from the gutter. Church Gist. You won’t beg for clothes to wear. Exodus 23:25-26. That’s enough to establish the fact that serving God pays the unmatchable. There is no service condition that has long life in it. No service condition takes away sickness from you. They will treat your sickness, if you are not well on time, they send you out of the business. Serving God does all that no one else will ever attempt to do.
So, serving God is not mere religion or religious activities. Serving God is a big time business. Luke 2:49. He has only one business here – to bear witness to the truth. Bearing witness to the truth is His final business. John 18:37. Paul also defines it as business in Romans 12:11. Big time business! Church Gist. Look at its returns, the unmatchable! Romans 12:12. Keep serving Him fervently in prayers. Serving God will make giants out of ordinary believers. Psalm 89:20. He will only find His servants to change their story and we saw how David got enthroned supernaturally.
For example, when we engage in praying Kingdom advancement prayers, God continues to reward us openly. You can’t do it secretly with God rewarding you openly. So expect open order of rewards. Don’t assume that you are doing it, pray your way into securing open rewards by the impact of your prayers. Don’t come to Church casually, come to Church believing God for every unsaved soul to be saved in that service. Church Gist. Come to Church believing that everyone that God has ordained for salvation will find their way there. Come to Church believing that every contact of the week will respond to the gospel. As we do that, like that my daughter will say “When I hear it, I know I prayed over that.” You know what you prayed about so when you hear it, you know it. Lord, I thank you. I prayed just exactly for that. You can tell when your prayers are answered. Please come on board. You have hung around the airport for a long, please get on board. They don’t serve people until they are on board. Stop hanging around, get on board. There is no airline that will come down and bring food to the people hanging around the airport, “Will you like to eat?” It is when you get inside that they ask you what you want. Come on board.
I got on board this madness 48 years ago. It is the madness that makes for greatness. This madness always culminates in greatness. I signed up. When I talk about September 12th, that is when my wife signed up. I signed in July, the day I got it. Come on board. All round rest, you can’t buy that anywhere. Not in the market! Serving God secures all-round rest without traces of stress or strain. That is where you are entering into. Somebody said, “When I come near you, you don’t look like you are doing something.” Church Gist. No! I am at rest. No apprehension, no anxieties. You are entering that rest. Exodus 14:14. Can I tell you what that does? It commits God to doing His wonders in your life. Serving God establishes your peace which makes God to fight for you. It is your turn for a change of story. Through you, many will find their way to Christ as they begin to see the open rewards of serving God in your life. It shall be open, people will see it.
The Lord spoke to me, He said, “Just speak my Word to them and leave.” Trust and obey. For there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. It is your turn. This week shall be a grave opening week. Church Gist. This month of resurrection, the dead will come out of their graves. The graves of sickness and disease shall be shattered. The graves of tension, anxiety and apprehensions shall be shattered. Your long-awaited rest will be established.
Serving God and the interests of His Kingdom pays the unmatchable.
Platforms for kingdom stewardship include praying for the salvation of all unsaved that come into our services. Psalm 2:8. Luke 11:21-22. We pray to break the devil’s hand off the lives of people so they can come into the Kingdom of light. It is not their will. Church Gist. They are held in captivity, not of their own will. We stand on their behalf to break off the hold on their lives so they can come to the light.
We also serve by paying the way to and from church for new converts and challenged members. Luke 14:21-22. ‘Go and bring, if they can’t afford to come. Go and bring them.’ Luke 15:3-5. It is at a cost. Many will never find their way there without somebody bearing the cost. The man at The Beautiful Gate was carried there daily till he met a change of story. There are people we must keep carrying there till their changes come. Amazing things members of this church are doing. Paying the way for people to come. Buying buses in their numbers. You can start from where you are. Start with one person first. Church Gist. During the time we launched a Bus Acquisition thing, amazing testimonies of people’s commitment. It is part of the soul winning endeavour bringing many to where they can have an encounter with Christ.
That implies, no one in your generation will require to be brought. As you are bringing in people, God is sorting out your generations after you. They won’t get to a point where they will need people to bring them. They will be flowing in the blessings of the seeds you have sown. It is not a Church style, it is the way it is. There is no Church of Impact that does not draw people from every part and cranny of the city. The Church is not in every cranny, they bring them there. Someone was trekking from Ikeja to Ipaja in the old church. Early morning, 5:30am he has arrived. Himself and two sons. Bringing people to Christ is part of our soul winning endeavours. So I want to challenge all Winners across our districts and zones to get committed to ensuring that no new convert is left behind. Church Gist. Get committed to ensure that every challenged Winner finds their way to Church. God who sees in secret, will reward you openly. There are many who are more than able to buy buses even in these hard times. We don’t have hard times around us. Walking with Jesus eradicates hard times. We have never seen hard times in this ministry. You are getting to that realm where you won’t feel any pinch of hard times in your life. Psalm 37:18. God is going to begin to make a clear demarcation between those who are serving Him and those who are not, right now. So get connected and stay connected, it always pays.
Right now, we shared that in detail. We are establishing food banks across our various areas. So that no Winner will beg for bread. And clothing racks, so that child can’t go without clothing on their backs. Challenged people can’t go naked. Get excited. We started looking after such things in my family openly in 1992. It moves you forward not backward. Caring for those who need them moves people forward not backwards. Church Gist. Start from where you are, that is the rule of the game. From where you are, start. Be part of it. When we open these food banks we will let you know, so you can begin to drop those food items in those places and then arrangements for distribution will be made across the various districts and zones. Jesus is Lord.
What do I do to make my stewardship acceptable?
1. Serving righteously.
Let your motive be pure. Serve your God righteously. Hebrews 12:28. Not ‘make dem see me’ kind of service, serve God righteously. Reverence and godly fear. It requires that to make our stewardship acceptable. Church Gist. Our motive must be pure. We must be God’s love motivated in what we are doing. 2 Timothy 2:19-21. The kind of vessel we are demands that we purge ourselves from everything that God hates so that our services can be acceptable. It is a new day, there shall be no more wasted labour.
2. We must serve God faithfully.
1 Corinthians 4:2. Proverbs 20:6. We may not be able to find him from the outside but the Word says a faithful man shall abound with blessings (Proverbs 28:20). Faithfulness in stewardship will always amount to blessings. Church Gist. Faithful stewards will always enjoy open blessings. You will see it on them, you will see it around them, you will see it in them. So if you have not seen blessings, Lord, where is my problem? Stop asking who is the problem. Where is my problem? As He shows you and you walk in it, things begin to turn.
3. Our service must be from the heart.
Ephesians 6:6. 2 Chronicles 25:2. Amaziah did that which was right but not with a perfect heart. He did it to tempt the Lord sometimes. Matthew 4:7. James 1:7-8. A perfect heart! You can’t have it and not know. Isaiah 38:3. The owner of the heart will know where the heart is. Nobody else will know. Church Gist. Your closest friend may not know, your spouse may not know but you know. You know whether your heart is indicting things about the King or yourself. You know whether you are in pursuit of God or pursuit of your own desires. You know!
Many years ago… In those days, we used to have prayer requests. We were always requesting. Brother David, what is your request? Just thank God for me. There is nothing of value to my life that I asked for. The agreement was that He will add them to me. Matthew 6:33. I won’t wait for you to come and ask for it. You know God stores prayers in vials in heaven? You can ask God for access to my vials of prayer and find out if what I am saying is true or not. Church Gist. A heart panting after God and the interests of His Kingdom is what we call a perfect heart. My son, give me your heart and watch how I decorate your life. Proverbs 23:26. Jeremiah 17:10. God searches our hearts, tries our reins to determine what becomes our portion. Serve Him from the heart.
What are some of the returns from Kingdom advancement stewardship? What do we expect in return for serving God?
1. Serving God secures our present life in colour.
Job 36:11. It beautifies our life in the present. Salvation is ordained to beautify destiny but serving God is what makes it manifest. Church Gist. Psalm 149:4, Job 36:11. Salvation beautifies destiny but serving God makes it a reality. In the precious name of Jesus, I see colour restored to everyone.
2. It secures favour with God
Psalm 35:27, 102:13-15. Fearful favour coming forth from a heart for God and the affairs of His Kingdom. That is your new realm.
3. It confers joy and rejoicing.
Luke 10:17. It confers joy and rejoicing which the Bible defines as joy unspeakable full of glory. Philippians 1:8. Luke 15:7. Church Gist. If there is joy in heaven over one soul that repents, when you are on that mission, you are sowing seeds of joy to heaven and you are entitled to harvests on the earth. Every true soul winner is far from depression. Far forever and ever.
I was chatting with my sons yesterday at the Ark Project on the subject of the blessedness of hatred. Do you know the blessedness of hatred? When God saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb and from her came an eternal lineage. She gave birth to Judah and Jesus came out of Judah. Stop reacting to hatred, face your Maker. I was hated, bitterly so. You will read those stories in my (auto)biography, it is amazing. The blessedness of hatred. No negative reaction. You are doing your thing and I am doing my thing. You have your view, I have my view but God’s view is superior. There are some that will want you dead now. You ask what did you do? “Nothing. I just want him dead.” God opened her womb and she gave birth to four sons. Out of her came Levi, the lineage of priesthood and out of her came Judah, where David rose and where Christ came from. In return for hatred. Church Gist. Relax my friend, mockery is always the highway to His glory. Let them mock you so He can make you. All these self-reputations won’t help you. Jesus made Himself of no reputation. He was born of the Holy Ghost not you and I that are born of sinners. He knew what He came for. He came from the Father so He made Himself of no reputation. What do you have that you are harassing everybody? If you can see what God has in store for you, you will know you have nothing yet. Every place we used to trek to with sandals and with the gospel in those days, we are flying over them today. If you can see what God has in store for you, you will humble yourself. It is not enough to stay on God’s side, it is important to remain there. Remain there.
I was shouting yesterday in my reflection, get serious with God and remain serious with God. All young men, get serious with God and stay serious with God. From the age of 16, I have been hearing from God, learning at His feet and responding accordingly. Get serious with God, all this junketting around the world won’t change your story. “Without me, you can do nothing.” Church Gist. Settle with God, He will settle your affairs. Don’t just jump, look before you leap. See how God guided us here, to this forest of no value. See what is made out of it, by just being sold out to God and getting serious with God and whatever He says to do.
I saw it is good for a young man to bear his yoke in his youth. I knelt down, I was 16 years old, I said, “Jesus, any yoke I will near when I am old, let me bear it now.” He said, “Son, are you ready?” I said I was ready. Church Gist My son, your future is not in your plan. Your future is in my plan. Sure! I banged my plan and went for God’s plan. I was 22. Get serious with God. There is no magic in these things. Get serious.
Parents, allow your sons and daughters to develop their spiritual wings. Allow them! Carrying an adult baby is not success, it is failure. Church Gist. Can you imagine a woman carrying a 30-year-old son on her back with two legs dangling? It is an absurdity. Your joy another man will not take away.
Today is our New Dawn Banquet. God said, “I will do a new thing.” Isaiah 43:18.
– It is your new dawn year.
– The unimaginable will start happening in your life.
– The things that they that hear their ears will tingle will start happening in your life. Church Gist.
– What eyes have never seen nor ears heard shall become your portion this time.
Malachi 3:6. God’s new dawn agenda thrives on two platforms. Please listen.
First, the altar of sacrifice. Psalm 50:5-6. The altar of sacrifice is one of the two vital platforms that provoke a new dawn. We saw a new dawn invoked by the sacrifice of Abraham on Mount Moriah. “In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed” was in Chapter 12. “In thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed” was in Chapter 22. A new chapter and moving the blessings of your life to cover your generations after you from the altar of sacrifice. Psalm 126:1-5. We became the talk of the town. Church Gist. God has done it, it is not magic. Sacrifice will always lead to a turnaround. The altar of sacrifice is the altar of new beginnings. It is the altar of turnaround. That verse connotes sacrifice. You go forth bearing precious seed, you are going to return rejoicing, bringing in sheaves with you. It is your turn.
The second platform is a heart for God. 1 Corinthians 2:9. The love platform. No matter where a genuine lover of God dwells, God’s eye will find him. No matter where a lover of God dwells, God’s far reaching eyes will find him. Church Gist. It is not where you are, it is where you stand. 2 Chronicles 16:9. It is our stand with God that determines our place in life. The love platform is a platform that springs new dawns. Things never known, things never heard.
We have the example of David. A young man with a heart for God. He was not even considered as a son when Samuel came to anoint a king in the house of Jesse. Don’t you have another son? I have but that one is not part of what we are talking about. There is nothing royal about him. God says he has a heart for me, he is the one. I found him. Nobody must sit down till he comes. Church Gist. Out of bitterness, they sent him back to keep the sheep. Nonsense, which anointing? The king now sent for him. “Please your son has found favour in my sight. Let him come and dwell in the palace.” Which palace? But can you challenge the king? Favour found him in a lost area, favour brought him from that same lost end. His heart for God made him confront Goliath and brought him down. New dawn! He emerged a national hero as a teenager. He became the envy of the King as a teenager.
No matter where you are. A heart for God! He found me in a village that is not on the map yet. That village is not on the map till now. The light you brought to our village, let it shine around the world. God stamped it. In a lost end of life. 1 Chronicles 16:9. Some are struggling, swimming against the tide in many foreign nations. They think the answer is in a nation. Can you write the history of Christianity today in this world whether you are white or black or green, without a place for this Church? No! It will be immoral. By reason of what God is doing among a people that are no people. What God is doing, in a land that is no land. Giving jobs to foreigners from great frontline countries. They line up for jobs here during hard times. There are many of you, the number of foreigners that will be in your employment will bring you tears of joy. As you keep walking with Jesus. I said this years ago and I will repeat as I close, don’t claim to know my secret. You may have read all the books I wrote if they make any sense, until you discover my heart for God, you have not found my secret. Church Gist. I love Him. I love Him more than I love me, I love Him more than I love anybody else. I love Him more than I love my wife and she knows. I love Him more than I love my sons and daughters and they know. God knows, the devil knows. Please reposition, new dawns never end in a lover’s life. Just stay in love with Jesus. Stay in love with Jesus.
Let me round up what God is asking me to say this morning. May each one’s heart be opened to connect with the mysteries of the end time. We are about entering the era of the distress of nations. Church Gist. Where there will be no nation to run into. Luke 21:7. You better run into God and take cover in God before such time comes. You are in for the best of times.
– In the name of Jesus, this month shall be a month of new beginnings for everyone.
There are two capital returns from genuine passion for God and the interests of His kingdom. The first is divine presence. The worth of divine presence is forever inestimable. Divine presence! He sent them to go and they went and He was walking with them confirming the word with signs following. When you are walking with Jesus, your word counts and it triggers signs and wonders. Mark 16:15-20. He gave them the Great Commission and he said “lo, I am with you always till the end of the age.” Count on my presence, I am always there when you are on the go in pursuit of the Great Commission. Church Gist. I am always there. Do you know the worth of divine presence? Check the movement of Israel from Egypt, the sea saw them and fled. Obstacles will be clearing your way with divine presence. Obstacles clear your way on their own accord. Psalm 114:7. Every trouble trembles when you carry God’s presence.
– There shall be no report of accidents this year.
– No air crash this year and forever in your life.
– No bloodshed in your family and forever in your home.
– No assaults of kidnappers in your family this year.
Divine presence causes barriers to clear the way. Psalm 114:1-7. Divine presence, He was in their midst. They were unchantable by His presence. All these “Somebody is doing me. Somebody from my village is after me”, it doesn’t happen. When you carry His presence, it levels out all enchantments, all divination. Numbers 23:20-23. Church Gist. His presence dissolves all divinations and enchantments. Get on the go for God and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19. Somebody was attacked by the spirit of insanity and I was going there out of compassion and God said stop that, they are meant to be in that position. He returns them back to their head. So I withdrew. I heard from God clearly. They are supposed to be in that position. Maybe they enchanted someone else and He turned the madness to their head. Every attack of the wicked on your life will return back to sender. By reason of divine presence which you secure by raw obedience to His commandments.
The second platform is favour. Favour is unquantifiable. It covers everything known and unknown. A slave had favour, that is not normal. A prisoner had favour, how? Favour catapulted him to the palace. How? In a strange land? As an ex-convict and an ongoing convict? It is unheard of. That is favour. Just come into favour. Its manifestations are unquantifiable. Just come into favour with God, the unusual will start happening. Church Gist. The unbelievable will start happening. Those are two major platforms that secure continuous new dawn in a man’s life. I have just shared with you the story of Joseph, Psalm 105:17-22. Multiple change of levels for a prisoner. For a slave, for the one hated by his brothers. It doesn’t stop it. Favour will level out any hatred. No matter the bitterness of the wicked, it can’t answer on your life. Church Gist. Therefore come on board. Let no Winner have this month as an open month. Make it a month of purpose. A month of mission. Lord, I must bring you at least one soul. No matter the corporate whatever we are doing, I must have one soul with my name tag on it for your Kingdom.
My heart cry today is to see every Winner share the same passion for God and the interests of His Kingdom as you have seen in me and in this Commission till date. There is nothing behind the scene, there is no skeleton in our cupboard. My heart cry today is to see every Winner share the same passion for God and the affairs of His Kingdom as you have observed in me and if not in me, in this Commission till date. One goal – Jesus be glorified. One goal – Jesus get them saved and established and that has been ongoing in this Commission for 43 years. It works. This is because we cannot share the same passion for God and the interests of His Kingdom and not share the same experience of favour and divine presence as you have seen in this Commission till date. Church Gist. Behind the unbreakableness and unstoppableness of this Commission is God’s presence. Behind the ever-changing level of this Commission is God’s presence. That shall be your portion from now.
We are admonished to be followers of Churches that carry specific grace. 1 Thessalonians 2:14. You follow the grace of God that you see evident in some Churches. This Church carries the evidence of the validity of Matthew 6:33 in open dimensions. From inception, God save them. From inception, God heal them. There has been no “God give us money” in this Commission. No! Why are we having it? Seek ye first. 2 Corinthians 8:1. There are graces on certain Churches. There is a resident grace of Matthew 6:33 in this Church. Resident grace of the effect and validity of Matthew 6:33 in this Church. Church Gist. That means there are some things that they know that we need to know to bring us to the same realm. 2 Peter 1:2. There are things that they know and they do, when we know what they know and do what they do, we share the same experience. I told God to show me what He showed Copeland and He did and I subscribed to it and I began to experience it. My respected mentor said, “David, don’t say you learnt it from me. You are getting much more from it than I did.” There are many people who will get much more from Matthew 6:33 than this Church. So it is not sitting down and waiting. Grace multiplies by knowledge. Get to know what they know, do what they know and you will have the same experience. This Church is a proof that God’s Word never fails.
John 12:35. There is a lifetime of light. A lifespan of light. If you don’t respond to it, it will drop. After every new dawn, comes a nightfall. Church Gist. Your new dawn has opened, don’t let the night overtake you. By responding to the instruction of the hour like Abraham.
