THE PROUD IS GETTING WEARY RIGHT NOW SO THE RIGHTEOUS SHOULD GET MORE DEDICATED TO REALIZE GOD’S GRAND PLAN
GOD’S GRAND PLAN IS TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THOSE WHO ARE SERVING HIM AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT SERVING
ONLY JESUS ROOTED PEOPLE ARE GENUINELY AT PEACE NOW
DO NOT EVER LET GOD GET OFF YOUR LIFE SO YOU DON’T GET CLASSIFIED WITH THE WICKED
THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF HEALING, HEALTH AND WHOLENESS IS JESUS
JESUS’ PRESCRIPTIONS MAY NOT APPEAR SOUND BUT THEY ENGENDER SOUND HEALTH
JESUS ONLY HAS THE ANSWER TO ANY OPPRESSION OF THE DEVIL
IN THIS END TIME, THE BIBLE SAYS THE WICKED SHALL DO MORE WICKEDLY BECAUSE THE DEVIL KNOWS HE HAS BUT A SHORT TIME.
MOST OF THE ATTACKS OF THIS END TIME WILL HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC OR MEDICAL SOLUTION BECAUSE THEY ARE DIRECT ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY
JESUS CHRIST STILL HEALS AND DELIVERS TODAY AS IN BIBLE DAYS BECAUSE HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.
THE WORD OF GOD IS HIS PRESCRIPTION, WHEN YOU TOY WITH IT YOU ARE PLAYING WITH SOMETHING DANGEROUS
JESUS STILL HEALS INSTANTLY AND THROUGH A PROCESS OF RECOVERY TODAY. EITHER WAY, HIS HEALING POWER IS STILL AT WORK
– Bishop David Oyedepo on COME MEET WITH JESUS; THE GREAT PHYSICIAN AND HIS GREAT PRESCRIPTIONS 5 at LFC Canaanland Midweek Communion Service || 16th August, 2023 ||
A time is coming according to Heaven’s prophetic agenda for the end of times that all the proud, (who say) “who is God? They are just deceiving you,” and all that do wickedly to make things work shall be stubble. Church Gist. It says, “and the day that comes will burn them leaving them with neither root nor branch but unto you that fear my name …” (Malachi 4:1-2).
– You will be going forward and growing up as fatted calves!
The proud is getting weary right now so the righteous should get more dedicated to realize God’s grand plan to differentiate between those who are serving him and those who are not serving. Only Jesus rooted people are genuinely at peace now. We are leaving the days of great uncertainty for them. Church Gist. They won’t tell anybody but they are weary. The wicked, they are sleepless. Calamities becloud their thoughts but here you are looking at the future with a smile. Give the Lord praise.
Don’t ever let God get off your life so you don’t get classified with the wicked. We are in the days of gloominess for the world but the days of glory for the Church. It will be clear that the Kingdom of God has descended upon the Earth this end time because we will be dwelling in Eden and they will be out there in the desolate wilderness. Church Gist. Joel 2:3. Get excited! It is foolishness to be shameful of what is gainful. It is mischievous foolishness! What others are paying for, you will be getting for free including your healing health and wholeness. They will be running from pillar to post, you will be at peace in your tents. Give the Lord praise!
Tonight get ready for an encounter that will put you in command over sickness and disease. That will establish your dominion over all satanic oppressions!
Come meet with Jesus the great physician and subscribe to his great prescriptions. Jeremiah 8:20-22. The ultimate source of healing, health and wholeness is Jesus. They may not want to hear but that’s the truth. The only one that attends to the dead and brings them back to life, the only one that speaks to the dead and the dead hear, no one else, not anywhere. The one that can recover the 4 day old dead in the grave back to life, the one who speaks and demons fly out is never known to refer a case anywhere else. Church Gist. His prescriptions may not appear sound but they engender sound health. They may not possess intellectual content but they deliver practical result. His Word heals, delivers, opens the eyes of the blind, unstop the ears of the deaf, loose the tongues of the dumb. Acts 10:38. There is no oppression of the devil that has any resistance when Jesus shows up. COME MEET WITH JESUS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN AND SUBSCRIBE TO HIS GREAT PRESCRIPTIONS and you walk in liberty all the days of your life. Jeremiah 8:19-20. An oppression of the devil has no answer but him. Jesus only has the answer to any oppression of the devil; one, there is no diagnosis under Heaven. No scan, no MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can pick the satanic oppression. You will just be treating the symptoms, you can’t access the root. Only Jesus! He has his scan and MRI that can locate every devil anywhere. “Deaf and dumb spirit come out!” Church Gist. They think it is ear drum that has problem – no, it’s a demon. So they are treating the ear drum and the ear drum is not drumming. He’s done all things well. He will do you well tonight because you are going out of this service made whole! Whatever remains as a debris, garbage of the enemy will clear off your life!
There is nothing anywhere under heaven that will ever compare with what Jesus has in stock for free. For free! Thank you Jesus.
Jesus Christ still heals and delivers today as in Bible days. Why? He is the same yesterday, today and forever. We can’t tell how many places on the earth today where “In the name of Jesus, be healed” and he is healing them. Rise up and walk and he is healing them. Do you still remember the story of the young man that was brought back from the dead after being embalmed for 24 hours? “Jesus Christ is here” and he shows up. He is alive and He lives forever more. Everything He did then He is still doing now. Give the Lord praise. He said “Jesus Christ that Bishop Oyedepo preaches is here” He said, “Oh, yes I am here”. The dead, already embalmed, came back to life. Something will break forth in your life today because Jesus is here today. Church Gist. He said wherever two or three are gathered, there am I in the midst of them. He is right here. Can you imagine you being in that synagogue where Christ was ministering and healing all manner of diseases? He was there physically, he is here spiritually. He never lies. Matthew 4:23, Luke 5:17. He was ministering to them and the power of God went forth and healed all them that were sick. He is right here in our midst so something must be delivered to you tonight. Something must turn in your favour tonight. Something must turn with your faith tonight and it is turning in your favour.
Jesus is still here today. He still goes about healing everyone oppressed of the devil. So no oppression of the devil, no being forced to eat, no poison of the wicked can stand tonight. He will get them out. Acts 10:38. Jesus still heals instantly and through a process of recovery today. Church Gist. Either way, His healing power is still at work. He healed the lepers instantly and that Centurion’s child began to recover. He recovered fully. Mark 8:22-24, Matthew 8:1-4, the lepers were cleansed instantly. The other lepers were cleansed and one returned and was made whole. It is a process.
Jesus Christ, the Great Physician has insight to the root cause of every sickness and disease because all things lay bare before Him. Many times doctors will struggle over and again till we can’t see anything. Something is not okay but they can’t see it. Before Christ, all things lay bare. Church Gist. They are searching for the physical, most of these things are in the spiritual. Some are under the siege of the curse of men, their situation is by the curses that men invoked on their lives, the devils invoked on their life. Whichever way, everyone’s bond shall be loosed tonight. Everyone’s prison house shall be broken through tonight. The gates shall open up on their own accord and you are walking into liberty in the name of Jesus Christ.
In this end time, the Bible says the wicked shall do more wickedly because the devil knows he has but a short time. So most of the attacks of this end time will have no scientific solution, no medical solution because they are direct attacks of the enemy. Church Gist. So you better get hold of the truth and walk in liberty. You are born of God, that is okay but your acting faith in God and His word is your answer to the challenges of the day.
As we all know any patient who engages in arguments with his doctor is doing so at the risk of his life. This is the Great Physician, the Living Word and contained here are His Words which are His prescription, when you toy with it you are playing with something dangerous. John 9:3-7. Be arguing, if you won’t go Siloam, go to anywhere you want. Your blindness will increase. Church Gist. Go to Siloam, that is the solution. How do I get there? Go and find out. How will I know when I get there? You will know. It is over to you. His prescription may be harsh but that is where your answer is.
Let’s explore tonight HEALING WONDERS FROM TESTIMONIES OF OTHERS. Simply put, Engaging the Power of Testimonies For Your Healing. Let us first understand that there are no private testimonies in the kingdom. Take note of that. Every testimony is a pointer to our heritage in Christ. Psalm 119:111. No private testimonies, what He does for one He will do for others who care to believe after the same order. Church Gist. That will keep us going in the faith. Testimonies are the raw interpretation of scriptures. John 10:37. Isaiah 8:16,20. He is equating testimonies with the Word. They carry the same power. This is what He says, this is the proof that validates it. So it is saying the same thing. Testimony enlightens like the Word. When you believe in testimonies, it illuminates you to dominate darkness.
Most testimonies in the body of Christ come through the healing testimonies of others. Most healings in the Kingdom come through the healing testimonies of others. Somebody got there, he got it; I’m going there, I must get it and then you get it too. Somebody heard it from you, he also got it. You know why? Testimonies are prophetic in nature to whosoever receives and believes it. Church Gist. Revelation 19:10. God is saying, I have this for you also if you believe. You see what I have done? So I am saying to you I have this order of testimony for you also if you care to believe. So they are prophetic and they will deliver in the life of anyone who cares to believe them. My dominion mentality over all devils came through the testimony of Smith Wigglesworth – 1979. I saw how he snubbed the devil in that book. My eyes opened and truly, we have been raised up together with him, made to sit together with him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above. Church Gist. Ephesians 1:21. I was looking for every devil to demonstrate it. I believed it hook, line and sinker. Also Smith Wigglesworth heard a noise in his sitting room, took his lantern (there were no power in those days) to go and check what’s going on and he saw a creature with a horn – one horn on the head and sat on his rocking chair and was rocking. He hissed and said, “I didn’t even know it is you the devil” and he went back to bed and he woke up the following morning. My spirit man just caught fire from Ephesians 2:6 and Ephesians 1:20-21. My far above mentality over all devils came alive.
You have heard me share that testimony many times, so I was in that place for a meeting and after I made altar calls I wasn’t satisfied so I said, how many of you are witches here? Stand up! A whole lot stood up. You know, light will expose darkness anywhere. I said, “sit down, understand what I am saying. I am not saying that somebody is accusing you if being a witch. Church Gist. That you know that you are a practicing witch, stand up!” The number stood up again; I rejoiced! I called one of them, come on here. “What do you do with the devil? What’s your activity, what department are you?” She said any time we want to suck blood we get on the highway and we cause any vehicle coming to somersault, we suck the blood of the victims. I said what about when people like us are coming? 1979. So you don’t need old age to get it. Light is light whether it is a small boy that carries it or a big boy. She said when we sense a higher power on the way we clear off the highway. You think devils don’t have sense? Why don’t mad people stay on the road when a car is coming? They have sense, they know danger. I rejoiced; my spirit man said, “yes, it’s proved already.” Church Gist. From that time you say you’re a witch, you’re like an ant. It doesn’t do me anything – like a lizard. Can a lizard be chasing you from your house? No, if you wait for me I will trample you under foot.
One notorious witch was arrested one time and I said, “you foul spirit come out!” He started vomiting and I said, “lick it now!” What nonsense, where do you think you are? Now from the testimony of one, I secured my dominion over all devils anywhere anytime. Church Gist. We got to one nation like that, one notorious witch was there before us and she was a celebrated witch, they sacrifice human beings to her, most authorities across Africa were subscribing to her demonic activities. We came into town, walked into that hotel, had no idea she was there, she packed out unceremoniously out of that nation – not out of the hotel. Light came, darkness will be competing? Where? They welcomed her with pomps and pageantry, drums and all that. She disappeared unceremoniously – national newspaper carried it. Bishop came, witch disappeared. Church Gist. I never got that on my own, I understood it through his testimony and I received and believed it. Those who despise testimonies live under trials – you better wake up! It’s not luck, it’s light.
I read the biography of John Wesley – the unusual divine strength at work in him – 1982. I saw him riding on horseback for miles in winter. “Jesus, I need this kind of strength.” So I know where I am coming from Sir. Church Gist. I craved for it, I knew I got it. I’m amazed at the strength in my life. The power of testimonies. Isaiah 8:20. It takes testimonies to shatter darkness among others. Revelation will; testimonies will also do the same.
When we believe the testimonies of the Lord we have committed him to replicate same in our lives. Acts 10:34; Luke 1:45. That’s how testimonies stir the faith of others to receive their miracles. When you start reading negative, ungodly meaning to testimonies, you never have. Church Gist. Only those that celebrate testimonies attract them. What you don’t embrace you dispel – it goes farther away from you. Matthew 9:20-22, Matthew 14:34-36. One testimony impacting on several others. That’s how testimonies stir the faith of others to receive their miracles. You find them say, Glory be to God. That means they acknowledge God is the one that did it, in case you are interested you can also line up and collect your own. No private testimonies in the Kingdom.
Testimonies are faith boosters by which we overcome the challenges of life. 1 Samuel 17:34-37. Testimonies of the past in your life are weapons of war to overcome the next battles that will come your way. Church Gist. So write up your testimonies, you find me talking about testimonies over and over again, they are the happenings of the hand of God in my life – I am not ashamed of them. Psalm 119:46; Revelation 12:11. So we overcome the battles of life by testimonies whether in your life or in the life of others which are pointers to your own heritage in Christ. The testimonies of God’s prosperous hand upon the Copelands drove me to study their materials. It’s the same God. I saw smelly poverty on the Church – growing up. I saw Churches being built for 20 years. 500 seat capacity Church or 200. 20 years they are still building. 10 blocks today, then next 3 months another 10 blocks. The bricklayer will say, when you get to 200 let me know. Contribute and contribute… There were no car parks in Churches because who will park cars? They bought bicycle for the pastor through heavy contributions and they put conditions on him. You mustn’t ride this bicycle to anywhere you like. Now that was the Church we met. Church Gist. So “as poor as Church rat” fits the Church very well. The Church is a bunch of never do well people. People that are going to Church are ashamed to say they are going to Church. I now saw this Covenant working heavily in a man’s life – I must find out. His testimonies drove me to the realm of financial fortune we are living in today.
Testimonies are powerful; they empower us to overcome the challenges of life with ease by not reading negative meaning to them but believing that the God who did it for them will do it for you too. It goes for everything about our lives.
Examples here include: we saw how Elisha brought the Shunammite’s son back to life following the footsteps of Elijah. 2 Kings 4:32-36; 1 Kings 17:19-23. Church Gist. We saw how Peter brought Dorcas back to life by engaging the Jesus’ approach. He put them all out as Jesus would do and got the same result. Sir, you can hardly minister to the dead to come back to life without being in the private.
You can hardly minister to the dead to come back to life without being in private. The Jesus approach, Elijah’s approach, Elisha’s approach is laid out. Here is where it is: Whosoever believes even though he is dead he shall yet live. So it is not everybody that comes back to life, your faith while you are alive is what brings you back to life. I had a running battle with death and then something spoke up in my spirit “What are you doing here?” I don’t know. Then I jumped out. It was in me so it could speak out. We are going to humiliate death these last days. Can I request that you go ahead and read ‘Fulfilling Your Days’? The fear of death will disappear. Church Gist. Your faith for victory over death will come alive. Somebody’s story is changing. It was after I taught a series on Victory Over Death that the attack came. Let’s find out whether he knows what he is saying or if he is just blowing grammar. The light I found in Christ spoke up. I travelled that same day for my assignment. The same day of my rescue I travelled.
We saw how David engaged his past testimonies to bring down Goliath. People with diverse sicknesses followed the testimony of the woman with the issue of blood and got their healing. Church Gist. You can reach out for your miracle following the testimonies of others. Hebrews 6:12. Reach out for your miracles following the testimonies of others. It has always been the order.
I used to have this vocal challenge after speaking for a long time and I was in Kaduna one time for a meeting and I could hardly hear myself. What is going on here? Reading through Lester Sumrall’s story, I found out he had that challenge at a point and began to take warm water. I had that issue in 1996, I switched over to warm water after his testimony and that was the end of it. I can speak for 10 hours and speak the following day for 16 hours, it won’t make a difference. Church Gist. Testimonies look simple but they are real. No side effects! Warm water for free and that has kept my vocal system active and alive. Church Gist. If I kept on drinking those frozen water by now I will need voice aid that they will attach to my neck like a tie. Hebrews 13:7. Follow their faith so you can accomplish the same things that they have. These things are not by chance. What you don’t believe you will never experience. The testimonies you don’t believe you will never experience. Just like the Word of God, you don’t believe never comes to pass in your life. So if you want any testimony you read from somewhere? Go for it.
The Lord spoke to me in 1995 “The Ark of Testimony has arrived at our shore”. You see testimony now being shared almost everywhere, it began here. Before no one did testimonies, you just preached and walked away. Anybody who hears it hears it. The Ark of Testimony descended. Miracles began to multiply as testimonies are being shared because others are plugging into it. We have a book online called ‘Wonders of the Age.’ Church Gist. There are things there that if they didn’t write the names and other details of the people, you won’t believe them. There are strange things. Others believed it and they plugged into it so the waves began. The wave continued. It is your turn. Testimonies are prophetic, it is God saying “This is my plan. I have this provision for you. It is your right to get this” and you will have it.
I shared that with you before, a man that has gone through stress on his health, hypertension, dizziness, high blood pressure, got free under 3 days as he engaged in warfare and took communion on the 3rd day. Immediately the 17-year-old chains on him were loosed. We are on this one week long covenant medication on the Holy Communion. Believe that it has the power to restore your health, restore your strength and give you a good old age. Take it with that understanding and you walk free from the chains of the wicked one. It is your turn. Church Gist. Most testimonies in this church came out of testimonies of others. Somebody said someone was praying Kingdom Advancement prayers for 5 hours, he said no! Let’s move ours to two hours. Within a week everything turned. Testimonies begetting testimonies. Testimonies are reproductive. You connect with it, it reproduces. I believe the same way this church is triumphant under all circumstances, it is the turn of your life to keep triumphing after the same order. Nothing will go down in your life. Your health shall be fully recovered.
– Your health shall be fully restored.
– Sickness shall have no hiding place in your family.
– The hospital will not become your second home.
– Anyone under any siege concerning their health, wherever they may be on planet earth today, I decree their rescue right now.
– Any member of this Church on any sick bed anywhere in the world, because His Word has no barrier, I decree the healing power to flow to them right now.
—– COMMUNION MINISTRATION ———-
– Your testimony is sure in the name of Jesus.
A young lady here one of those Sundays heard me saying where are you rushing to? Settle down and find an answer to your problem. She took the book ‘Testimonies of Word Encounters’ after the Sunday Service and sat down under the tent and read it from page to page. It is a small book. She got a job on the Tuesday that followed. Changes don’t just occur, Changes are made to happen. Church Gist. Engage not just religiously, engage spiritually with the covenant medication of the hour. Take the Communion before going to bed. In case you don’t have any drink, water can be turned into wine. Water is a drink. You have a piece of biscuit at home, throw it in as the flesh of Jesus. You don’t have to go to town looking for a supermarket, just simple faith.
– As the Lord lives no one shall say I am sick again.
Most lasting encounters are personal. They are personal. All these public shows are not the way, they are personal. Most striking and lasting encounters in a believer’s life are personal. So be personal, don’t just be general. Don’t engage religiously, engage spiritually. Engage with active faith, not docile faith. Church Gist. “Let’s see what will happen” Nothing will happen. I know this is the Word of the Lord for me. It is a toast for my strength, health and longevity and I receive it so. There is no one who engages according to this rule and will not testify how everything has turned. By the time this month is over, it will be a new you.
Youths in the house, next week is your Annual Convention. We are not gathering to see our faces, we are gathering to seek the face of God. Some treasures will drop from heaven for you that will establish your glorious future in Christ. So open your heart as you come. Be personal as you come. You are in the most fertile season of your life. Every seed of the truth sown into you today secures your future tomorrow. I knew by the inspiration of God that I was redeemed to be a Priest and a King to reign on the earth when I was 16. You are getting too old. Grab this thing. In 1977 I found out that the harder you follow me, the higher you fly. So I follow hard with delight not as a burden. I get excited doing what God says no matter how it looks. At 16, I found out God is not slow. You are in a generation that is always in a hurry. They want everything on the same day. Church Gist. How to be rich in one day is the devil’s strategy. God doesn’t do that. He takes you through a process little by little so it doesn’t kill you. So don’t play with it. The church is not benefiting from it, it is for your benefit. No one will be disappointed coming. No parent will have heartache on their children. All of your sons and daughters will be sources of joy to you. So connect them on time, get them a high taste for spiritual things and then you have rest tomorrow. I love you all.
