FAITH IS A UNIVERSAL CURRENCY. IT DELIVERS AT THE SAME RATE IN ANY NATION OF THE EARTH.
FAITH DOES NOT KNOW 1ST NATION OR 3RD NATION. THERE ARE 1ST NATION PEOPLE IN MANY 3RD NATIONS.
IT IS NOT ABOUT THE NATION. IT IS ABOUT YOU, WHERE YOU STAND.
ALL THOSE ANTI-FAITH CHURCHES, YOU SEE THEM CRAWLING.
ANTI-FAITH ANCIENT BELIEVERS, YOU SEE THEM STRUGGLING FOR SURVIVAL
-Bishop David Oyedepo, 1st Service, Faith Tabernacle
Prophetic Service
Special End of the Month Thanksgiving
The prophetic focus for the month is:
FAITH SECURES FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECIES.
1 Kings 8:15
Whatever God declares, only His hand has capacity to deliver. Only the hand of God has capacity to deliver whatever His mouth declares.
Isaiah 53:1 – It takes faith to secure the hand of God, it takes the hand of God to secure fulfillment of prophecies. Every prophecy is empty, is barren, is impotent without faith.
God didn’t let us to prepare to build this House. Church Gist. I mean, He is a humourous God, He didn’t allow us to prepare for it. He just hit my mouth, because I couldn’t say that naturally.
“That this building, that the drawing is not completed will be dedicated next year.” I have some little, small brain, to know that before we complete the drawings, secure approval and all that, 6 months is gone. The concept, that is okay, but it is far from where we are going. He didn’t let us have the opportunity to prepare for building it.
Faith built it by securing the hand of God, the creator of the world. To let you know He built it, He said, “it took Me only 6 days to create the world and the fullness thereof, I will not need 2 months to finish an ordinary building.”
To Him, it is ordinary! Why not? He created the whole world.
There is no pillar here. Church Gist. In the world He created, have you hit pillar before?
“This is God’s pillar”
Only faith has capacity to secure the hand of God and only the hand of God has capacity to secure fulfillment of prophecies. Without faith, prophecies are mere stories, they never see the light of day. That is how vital faith is.
The whole scripture is defined as the more sure Word of prophecy. That means no scripture comes through without faith.
We just need to know this. He said, add to your faith, virtue – 2 Peter 1:5
Faith is fundamental to our adventure in the Kingdom. You don’t have a foundation without faith. we are saved by grace through faith. You can’t be saved without faith.
Prayer is empty without faith – James 1:6-7
Nothing works here without faith. that is how vital (it is), He said, many of the priests became obedient to the faith. So Christianity is the faith
If you are from South West (Nigeria), from my village particularly, every Christian is ‘Oni gbagbo’ (a custodian of faith).
If you don’t have no faith, you are not a Christian. Church Gist. Christianity means nothing. There will be no difference between you and those who don’t know God. Faith is vital, please invest in building your faith so you can see more and more of God’s hand in your life. Invest in building your faith.
You know what God said to me, that has given us a right today: Was it not you I told that this is where My place for appearance is and you are carrying the project to the other side? I would not have gone there with you.
He just came to say, “I am the One building this thing, don’t direct Me. Don’t push Me, you are too small.”
He just shows, “I am the One in charge”, but just keep doing what you are doing: keep pursuing after souls, keep praying Kingdom advancement prayer, keep driving everybody who is drivable. If a car has no battery, there is no way, you are wasting energy trying to push it. Gear 2 will lead to Gear 3, which Gear which work?
-Your battery won’t go flat.
-Your battery of life in Christ will not go flat.
“And the Spirit driveth Him” – Mark 1:12
We are driven in the Kingdom. If you are not drivable you are a loser: “The Spirit driveth Jesus.”
-The end of struggling for survival is over.
You know the difference between crawling and walking is wide; between walking and running is wide and between running and driving. The fastest runner in the world, Olympics, 3 times, to compete with you driving a jalopy car from here to Ikeja, his throat will cut. There is no point because he won’t even see you in front. If two of you are competing and you can’t see the other one at all, won’t you stop? There is a difference between running and driving!
-My prayer is that this will be a most adventurous year for every one of us.
That is how important faith is in expecting prophecies to be fulfilled in our lives. Faith is vitally important.
ENGAGING THE POWER OF FAITH FOR FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECIES
It is our running series for the Sundays of this month.
Prophecies like we all know are the unveiling of God’s plan and purpose for a people or an individual.
Deuteronomy 18:22
Every Word from the Lord is loaded with capacity for delivery and faith is what releases that capacity. You inject your faith into it and then that virtue is unleashed and the Word comes to pass.
Ezekiel 12:25
Prophecies are sworn verdicts – Isaiah 14:24
Every prophetic Word is a sworn verdict:
“This is what I will do if you care to believe.
This is settled as far as I am concerned.”
You know the reason why? When God speaks, He creates what He says.
God said, “let there be light”: and there was light – Genesis 1:3
He is not making a proposal, He is not showing you what He has capacity to do.
When He says it, He creates it. So on His side, it is created. On your side and my side, it is faith to take delivery.
It’s created.
Deuteronomy 28:1
He has created a place for you and me above all nations if you will care to observe and to do whatsoever He commands. It’s there. Obedience of faith is what we engage in taking delivery of every prophetic Word.
When you call it faith: you will just believe God can do it. Church Gist. No. Your obedience of faith and my obedience of faith is what provokes God to deliver.
Sarah had passed the age of having pleasure in bed with the husband, she is extreme in age but through faith she received strength to conceive seed – Hebrews 11:11
Obedience of faith is what it takes to take delivery.
I heard those words 1984, “my son, there is a place for you on top if you are interested”; what He says to one, He says to all – Mark 13:37
Jesus is seated at the right hand of majesty on high, He said the works I do shall you do also and greater works than these – John 14:12
We all have a place already created. Access is obedience of faith to whatever He says gets one there.
-I know that many stars will rise in this Church. I mean let me call them additional stars.
-There are stars here already and those stars will be shining brighter and brighter
And one of the keys is ‘they that be wise’ so it takes wisdom, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament. I mean they that turn many to righteousness shall emerge as the stars forever and ever – Daniel 12:3
Turning many to righteousness is a qualifier for lifelong star, a generational star in your life.
“I don’t believe that”: That is your cup of tea.
Nobody’s faith is subject to anybody’s else unbelief.
Your faith doesn’t need another man’s faith to deliver. The just shall live by his faith.
Your heart does not need another man’s heart to pump: Man shall leave by the pumping of his heart. You can’t jump start the heart of another man with another.
You know they jump start cars here. You move your car to the front, they put the battery there, they say, “start.”
There is no jump starting of the heart. If your heart stops, thank God, you have boarded the chariot of Elijah.
-No one will board that chariot until a good old age.
Faith is it. You will never see any Christian who plays down on faith and makes a meaning.
All those anti-faith Churches, you see them crawling. Church Gist. Anti-faith ancient believers, you see them struggling for survival.
Show me anyone who does not believe in prosperity that prospers. It never happens by chance.
Whatever you can’t believe, never happens in your life. The just shall live by his faith – Habakkuk 2:4
A friend of mine came around and said, from the US, years ago, he said, “Now, Brother David, how do you pay for all these things?”
I said: Faith.
He said: Faith? Here?
And I told him, faith is a universal currency. It delivers at the same rate in any nation of the earth.
Faith does not know 1st Nation or 3rd Nation. There are 1st Nation people in many 3rd Nations. Global champions in no nations; nations of 300,000 people, you have a global star there. So it is not about the nation, it is about you, where you stand.
-May the prophecies concerning the year find full and open manifestations in the lives of everyone of us.
Just know what it takes and plug into it, with obedience of faith.
Stop arguing with unbelievers, they can kill your faith.
“Are you still running after souls? What have you got from it?”
When you reach many, it will show.
You have reached some: Congratulations. Until you reach many, it won’t show. Reach many now!
My daughter Nkechi got her 10 that year, the same month of February. She got the 10 one month. Somebody is looking for 10, one year.
I was reflecting because I wrote something years back on Leadership Etiquette.
Now you will never find a star student who is not a serious minded one.
Sir, you will never find a believer who is not a serious minded believer.
I am sure we all went to school and we met people. People met us, those serious minded believers are still serious today. Those loosed believers are still loosed today.
A number of those serious minded students are academic giants today.
Serious minded!
Sir, I read Matthew, Mark, Luke, John the first 3 months I got saved. I got inoculated with the acts of Christ, the life He offers. I got myself out of tuberculosis as a new convert, I wasn’t baptized in the Holy Ghost.
Please wake up! Get serious with God!
-May this year be your most serious year in your walk with God in the name of Jesus.
-No prophecy will fall to the ground in your life this year.
-Whatever God says pertains to those who serve Him, you will see it live in your life.
-No one among us shall be called barren by the end of this year.
-No one shall be called jobless.
-Anyone called jobless today, many will become employers of labour by encounter with light from above
