WHEN I SAW THAT I HAVE BEEN SEATED FAR ABOVE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, EVERY DEVIL LOST RECOGNITION
REVELATION CAN BE INTOXICATING! IT’S THE WINE NATURE OF IT
THE WORD THAT MOSES HEARD EMPOWERED HIM TO UNDERTAKE THAT SUICIDAL MISSION
THE HIGHEST FORM OF EMPOWERMENT IS WORD EMPOWERMENT AND WITH THAT CONSCIOUSNESS WATCH WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING TO YOU FROM HENCEFORTH
NO devil CAN KILL ME. IF THEY CAN, THEY WOULD HAVE DONE THAT LONG AGO.
I SAW MYSELF IN A COFFIN IN A DREAM. I RESPONDED BY THE TRUTH IN MY SPIRIT “satan, YOU MUST BE A FOOL… GET LOST”
WHEN THE TRUTH ENTERS YOUR SPIRIT, IT IS THERE WHETHER YOU ARE ASLEEP OR AWAKE. WHEN A LION GOES TO BED IT DOES NOT BECOME A SHEEP.
GOD’S WORD EMPOWERS BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN IMAGINE BUT TODAY WE HAVE LIMITED IT TO THE HEAD.
AT THAT TIME THE HEAD WAS ASLEEP. YOUR SPIRIT MAN DOES NOT SLEEP BUT THE HEAD SLEEPS.
IT IS THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR SPIRIT THAT EMPOWERS YOU NOT YOUR HEAD.
WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET READY FOR THE BATTLE, WE MUST LIVE READY FOR THE BATTLE.
THESE BATTLES HAVE NO TIMETABLE SO THEY CAN COME AT ANY TIME AND IN ANY SHAPE AND FORM. WE MUST LIVE READY FOR THE BATTLES
WE HAD A WAVE ONE TIME OF PEOPLE BUYING INTO THE ANOINTING WITH MONEY – BLATANT DISREGARD OF THE TRUTH. PEOPLE ARE SELLING THE UNSELLABLE.
YOU CAN’T PARTAKE OF THE HOLY GHOST WITHOUT A RIGHT HEART.
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR POWER TO BE FAMOUS? ZERO! POWER TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED? ZERO!
EVERYONE WITH A GENUINE HEART OF GOD ENJOYS THE CONTINUOUS RELEASE OF UNCTION, A HEART OF GOD ENTITLES US TO FRESH OIL FROM DAY TO DAY
PRAYER WITHOUT THE WORD IS FIRE WITHOUT THE WOOD. THE WORD WITHOUT PRAYER IS WOOD WITHOUT FIRE. DEAD!
EMPOWERMENT TURNS ORDINARY PEOPLE INTO STRANGE MEN. BY THE EMPOWERMENT ON THIS MOUNTAIN OF SHILOH, GOD WILL TURN YOU INTO ANOTHER MAN.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at SHILOH 2022 || COVENANT HIGHWAYS|| Day 2 Hour of Visitation, Third Word Session|| Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland ||
Halleluyah! Thank You Jesus, in Jesus precious name we have prayed. One of the mysteries of gatherings like this which He always means is the empowerment that goes on as the Word goes forth. Ezekiel 2:2. There is an empowerment that goes on as the Word of God goes forth to those who receive it. John 1:12. So, there is power going forth as the Word is going forth. So, the last two segments of the Word we have heard, power had gone forth as the Word went forth and those who received that, it stays, it shows. Church Gist. Most times we wait for prayers to be empowered but God’s Word is the carrier of God’s power as it goes forth. That’s why, revelation can be intoxicating. It’s the wine nature of it. Praise God! Can be intoxicating!
When I saw that I have been seated far above principalities and powers, every devil lost recognition. Church Gist. The power came forth, I was looking for where to manifest it. God’s Word always goes, accompanying with power. Please, take time every time you are before the Word, reach out for empowerment that accompanies it. The Word that Moses heard empowered him to undertake that suicidal mission. He didn’t leave his wife behind so he won’t lose his heritage, he carried them along. Moses departed to Egypt in a land he was a wanted man, carried his wife and his two sons. The Word empowered Him. Church Gist. This is the place, empowered me above all doubts, invade this forest. So, it comes both in rhema and comes also in revelation. I am talking about the Covenant of empowerment and it’s important for us to know that the highest form of empowerment is Word empowerment and with that consciousness watch what will be happening to you from henceforth, with that consciousness inside of you. Church Gist. Listen, God’s Word is not for fancy, is not lecture, it’s power. Matthew 8:8. The Word only, power went forth with the Word.
Thank You Jesus for waves of empowerment on this mountain that has already begun, may your portion be fully delivered. Thank You Jesus for Your blessing since the visitation hour began. Receive our thanks in the name of Jesus. Thank You for the empowerment that came along with Your Word, thank You and thank You in Jesus precious name.
Speak to us again and deliver the covenant table of empowerment to us so we can stay empowered all the days of our lives in the name of Jesus Christ. Give the LORD a big hand of praise and be seated.
I have been working on the series “Unveiling the Covenant Highways of life” and these highways are embedded in His Word. So we are talking about the “Covenant of empowerment” this morning. 1 Corinthians 4:20 is our text. Life in the Kingdom is at a risk without empowerment. Life in the Kingdom loses colour without empowerment. Life in the Kingdom is miserable without empowerment. Jesus said after teaching those folks for three and half years, tarry ye o in Jerusalem untill you be endued with power from on high. I can’t guarantee your safety, I can’t guarantee your triumph without being endued with power. Luke 24:49. Power! Church Gist. The Kingdom of God is not in words but in power. It answers to power. The Kingdom answers to power. Acts 1:8, Acts 2:3. Empowerment is a personal phenomenon. There is no such thing as cooperate empowerment. The fuel in my car can’t run my wife’s car. The fuel in your car cannot run the car of your wife. The oil in my lamp cannot lighten your lamp. Zechariah 10:1. Empowerment is a personal requirement and a personal responsibility.
Our Church is a powerful Church, that’s okay. How much of that power is at work in you? Church Gist. My Pastor is a powerful Pastor, does it have any expression in your life? There are people that kidnappers can’t sight talkless of attempt. Ask them, they know. They know there are people they can’t sight. That demon possessed saw Jesus “hei hei hei… have you come to destroy us?” There are people they cannot sight talkless of molest. Someone visited a cousin here and saw a calendar of the Church with me holding a microphone and said “please turn it back, turn it back, return it back there is fire in that microphone” on the picture! God wants us empowered so we can subdue our enemies. It’s so important! There was a robbery spree sometime in Ota and these robbers saw the banner of our Church on Winners’ Satellite fellowship and saw my picture there, a Yoruba man was leading that gang [the robbery gang] “Baba wanibi o ewoke” that is “take cover Baba is here” In his picture! Jesus said “the works that I do” John 14:12. Jesus not small small people like us, Jesus said “the works that I do” all you need is get empowered to operate in that realm. That’s all you need to do. You taught on Peace be still, we have this challenge on our way to Israel and a big bang in the plane “Peace” the plane gathered itself. My prayer is that the last molestation of the wicked on your life ends here today and I pray that as the Word goes forth the undeniable manifestation of His power shall begin to take place in your life. There were ten virgins; five wise and five foolish, the oil in the lamp of the five got finished “give us of your own” they said “no, it’s not transferable “Go to them that sell, go to where you can find it” You will find it here today.
First, let’s recognize that life is a battlefield, not a playground. Ephesians 6:12. 2 Corinthians 10:3. We are confronted with spiritual battles. Psalm 91:5-7. Life is a battlefield, not a playground and that is the reason we need to be empowered. Luke 10:19. So there are serpents and scorpions in the invisible realm that we walk over day and night. It takes empowerment to triumph in spite of them. It is not enough to be empowered, we must stay empowered because if you faint on the day of battle your strength is small. Proverbs 24:10. We can’t afford to get ready for the battle, we must live ready for the battle. These battles have no timetable so they can come at any time and in any shape and form. We must live ready for the battles. Church Gist. That is the need to stay empowered for we do not know when the next battle will strike. We can’t subdue the enemy without power. Psalm 66:3. It takes power to subdue our enemies. It takes empowerment to rule and reign in spite of our enemies. Psalm 110:2. You can’t rule in the midst of your enemies without being empowered. There are some people here even when they think evil about you, they will catch migraines on the spot. That is the thinking of it. The mentioning of your name will just dig their grave. Can you imagine the demons saying they are going to attack Jesus? when you can’t stand him coming. Is that the person you are going to attack? From today, the key to that realm of empowerment where the enemy is scared at your instance, receive it now in the name of Jesus. The oil in my lamp cannot lighten your lamp. Get your oil. The fuel in your car cannot drive your car though you have been with me all these years. Your next attack nobody may be around. The next attack on your life, until Peter was out of the crowd he would never have denied Jesus but when it became only him, fuel finished. You see all these ‘pray for me, pray for me’ syndrome will not get you anywhere. It will not get anybody anywhere. When that flight attack happened, who was there? I was there with my wife. There was no mentor, there was nobody there. So if there is nothing inside you that is all.
I saw myself in a dream in a coffin. When the truth enters your spirit, it is there whether you are asleep or awake. When a lion goes to bed it does not become a sheep. Inside that dream, I responded by the truth in my spirit. “Satan, you must be a fool because there is no wisdom or counsel in the grave. No one sees himself in a coffin and stays there. Get lost”. I answered him in the dream. Church Gist. God’s word empowers beyond what you can imagine but today we have limited it to the head. It is not there. At that time the head was asleep. Your spirit man does not sleep but the head sleeps. It is part of the body. The word that empowers is the word that enters your spirit not the logic. The one that enters your spirit is the one that empowers you. If you ask the devil how many times he has killed me, I am not dead. When I go to heaven there is no devil who can kill me. If they can, they will have done that long ago. Every harassment on your life by the wicked ends today. It ends here finally today. I release you today as a terror to the camp of your enemies.
The last days are the days of power in the body of Christ. Psalm 110:1-3. The unusual outpouring of empowerment upon the end time Church that will keep us rolling irresistibly in the camp of our times. That is the highway God is launching us into right here. From now you will not only know what it takes to be empowered but what it takes to remain empowered. So that inside, outside, you are just untouchable, unmolestable, unassaultable. Church Gist. The whole creation is waiting for the solution bearers of life to emerge from the church. Romans 8:19. They are groaning, when will these sons be released? The hour is now when power will not only be manifested in the meetings but wherever we are found, in our offices, in our marketplaces where we do our business. Power. Power! Everybody will be looking for solutions through the empowerment of the saints in this end time. May you never miss your place in it in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
This is where most of us miss this. Power is in levels. Empowerment is in levels. We have a very clear picture in Ezekiel 47:1-5. It is a picture of Jesus in heaven. He is sitting at the right side of God on high and the water is the Word of God. John 7:37-39. That is Jesus on the right side of God releasing His empowerment to the world. His empowerment came down in levels. It is in degrees. It is in levels. Let’s go forward to the New Testament. The Church received power on the day of Pentecost. The apostles stepped into great power in Acts 4. With great power, they prayed in the realm of great power and then we talked about exceeding great power. Do you see the categories and levels? From power to great power, from great power to exceeding great power. Ephesians 1:19. Church Gist. So the exceeding greatness of His power is the mighty power of God. Some are just at the ankle level they think they are already there. Some are just going to where the measurement starts. That’s where we all start. At new birth welcome to the waters. It is a long journey, 1000 cubits, 1000 cubits, 1000 cubits. If you don’t pass one level you won’t see the next. We have seen power but we are yet to see great power. What awaits the Church is John 14:12, greater works than he did. We are too far from what he did. Church Gist. Then how do we get to where he was and to pass over it. We will get there. Who thought the church will get to where we are today as the body of Christ in Nigeria and across the nations? We were called mushroom churches, people that don’t mean much that is the meaning. As poor as Church rats, so were we. They were not wrong, that is how we were. Another wave brought us to where we are and another wave will take us to where we are going. So from empowerment to great empowerment and exceeding great empowerment. No one will be tired on this journey. Ephesians 1:20-21. We are getting there.
Caution! We must beware of grieving the spirit. No matter any level one may be operating in. We must beware of grieving the spirit.. 1 Thessalonians 5:19. There was such unusual empowerment in Samson’s life but it quenched one day. That starts with grieving the Holy Spirit. If you don’t stop grieving Him, we end up quenching Him. You grieve Him first before you go to quench Him. Ephesians 4:30. He is our covering. Don’t grieve Him. Continuity in iniquity grieves Him. He gets grieved to a point that you quench Him and when He is quenched life is gone. Church Gist. Samson stood up as before for he did not know the Spirit had left him. He shook himself and nothing worked. He quenched the Spirit. It is important to know that the Church’s empowerment begins with consecration. Proverbs 1:23. Luke 5:37. No one puts new wine in an old wineskin. At new birth, we are empowered by the Spirit to operate as sons of God but to undertake that journey this is a requirement. So the same thing that gave us access is what we must watch to ensure it is in place to retain Him. When the spirit departs you see how empty a man becomes. James 2:26.
New birth – take-off point, fear of God – start off on the journey. No one among us shall quench the spirit of God.
Why do we need to be empowered?
- For triumphant living towards fulfilling our glorious destiny.
Psalm 105:13-15. We require empowerment for triumphant living towards fulfilling our glorious destiny. Church Gist. Luke 22:31. Satan is always hunting for precious souls to hunt them down or crash their destiny. We need to be empowered for triumphant living. - For sanctification which enables us access to our inheritance in Christ.
1 Corinthians 6:11. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of holiness so He comes in to empower us to live a sanctified life. Our inheritance demands sanctification for delivery. Acts 20:32. Inheritance is not for Jack and Harry in the faith. Inheritance is accessed and delivered on the platform of sanctification. He empowers us to live a sacrificed life so as to take delivery of our inheritance in Christ. He comes as a refiner’s fire to burn off every chaff of carnality and iniquity so our offering can be acceptable unto the Lord. Malachi 3:1-3. He is the Spirit of the fear of God, He helps us to live with a desire to please God. I asked the Lord to give me a testimony after the order of Enoch to keep living a life that pleases Him. Church Gist. Give me a testimony after the order of Joseph who said “but I fear God”. Give me a testimony after the order of Daniel, they couldn’t find anything wrong with him. He was a faithful man in that high office. Genesis 41:39. Even Pharaoh recognized that there is a spirit working this thing inside this man. The man Daniel was a man of endowment with the Spirit of God. We need the Holy Spirit for sanctification so we can access and take delivery of our inheritance in Christ. Whatever the enemy has robbed anyone you are getting them back. - For sustainable access to revelation for our breakthroughs.
Every breakthrough is triggered by revelation. Isaiah 60:1-3. It takes access to the Spirit to access light that triggers sustainable and continuous breakthroughs in life. 1 John 2:20. Church Gist. Empowerment grants believers access to all things. He teaches us and brings to our remembrance when required. All things. Our inheritance demands revelation for access. 2 Peter 1:3. I am trying to sensitize your hunger and thirst for empowerment. It is not just for healing and deliverance. It is for everything that makes for life and godliness. - For effectual fervent prayer life.
We heard that in the first teaching, effectual fervent prayer life is not possible without the help of the Holy Spirit. The disciples knew that something was coming on the path of their Master yet they couldn’t help sleeping. They were sleeping, it is not what they chose to do. Jesus said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. You want to be but you can’t do it. The Spirit helps our infirmity in prayers. Jesus was full of the Holy Ghost and power. You saw His prayer life. So it is not religion. It is the enablement of the Spirit of God, it makes all the difference. There are many people crying on mountains around the nations of the world and in Nigeria here in the energy of the flesh. They cry and cry and nothing comes out of it. Do you know what He does? For we know not what we should pray. So He directs us to what to pray. Church Gist. Many know how to pray but they don’t know what to pray. So what is ‘how’ going to help you to do? You won’t get anything out of it. That is the ministry of the Holy Ghost. He helps our infirmity in prayers and shows us what to pray. Which makes prayer effectual. It makes prayers effectual and result-oriented. Romans 8:26-27. He helps you pray according to His will. If you pray according to His will be confident that He hears you. No prayer life can be any more effectual than the one that is helped by the Holy Spirit. He directs you to the will of God and shows you what to pray by destroying the infirmity of the flesh. Do you know how many times you have knelt down and slept off. Do you know how many times you have prayed and forgotten the prayer point? Holy Spirit help my prayer life into another level. Pray that prayer. Empower my prayer life beyond the infirmities of the flesh. - The Spirit of God empowers our giving life into realms of strange financial fortune.
When the Holy Ghost empowers a man’s giving life. He does it willingly. 2 Corinthians 3:3. He does it without any stress, no games, no gimmicks. The grace of empowerment for a tireless giving life. A willing giving life, a joyful giving life. It takes that. To rejoice at every opportunity to give to the needy, to rejoice at every opportunity in promoting the kingdom. It becomes your lifestyle, you are not struggling. 2 Corinthians 8:3. In their poverty they were great givers and grace for abundance came upon them. It takes empowerment to sustain a giving life. It takes empowerment of the Spirit. That is the only way to sustain the true riches of God. True riches, not people carrying money up and down. Church Gist. Riches that come at your command. Riches that answer to your command. You are not struggling with riches, you are not praying for it, it answers at your command because of sustainable giving grace. These are all multidimensional blessings of empowerment. We have limited that to ‘Satan is attacking you, attack him’. It is beyond that. May everyone’s giving life change level here. Not for the good of the poor and the needy, not for the good of the church, you don’t know how insignificant you are in the Church until you leave and nothing has left except it is not the Church of Christ. The Church of Christ does not know who leaves. We need that grace. His righteousness endureth forever. They will never play financial games in his lineage. They are free from it. It has become an issue of heritage. We are getting there and when we get there we will never step out of it. I want to believe that this will stir our hunger and thirst for His empowerment. A lot of us have been robbed of what belongs to us. Joel 2:25-26. Whatever the enemy has stolen from you, you are empowered to experience your restoration and there shall be dramatic restoration testimony.
We saw two things here in church. Once we heard of someone who lost his job and after 19 years got it back. All payments and allowances paid. Church Gist. This year we saw someone who was robbed of his job for 26 years restored and all allowances paid. Whatever you have lost to the enemy under this anointing I decree your restoration.
The empowerment of the Holy Spirit is a covenant platform for our restoration. Therefore whatever the enemy has cheated you for, you are getting it back. Imagine being out of work for 19 years and they calculate all your salaries and all the promotions that would have come in the process and pay you in one day and you just walk away free. Church Gist. That is why we need to be empowered so we don’t continue to be cheated. In Jesus name, it is your turn. My prayer today is that you are living here as a brand new man.After Saul was anointed, He was turned into another man. Empowerment turns ordinary people into strange men. By the empowerment on this mountain of Shiloh, God will turn you into another man.
Why do we need to be empowered? For protection and preservation. Ephesians 4:30. We are empowered to be protected and preserved till the coming of the Lord.
What are the things to do to be empowered and stay empowered? Remember the Bible is a what-to-do book. There is always what to do. I have these provisions for you but this is what to do to take delivery. Revelation 5:12. To access the power, what am I to do? After being born again and baptized in the Holy Ghost, what do I do next? Empowerment will only answer to a genuine thirst and crave. Without a thirst, you can’t gain access. Psalm 63:1. It takes a thirst and a longing to step into realms of power. Isaiah 41:17. When the poor and needy seek water and there is none. Not until when. It takes a longing to have it. Paul the anointed one was involved in fastings often and fasting is prescribed for empowerment. Isaiah 58:6-7. It takes a thirst of the soul and a longing of the flesh to be empowered. It takes a right heart to be empowered. A right motive and a right heart to be empowered. Church Gist. A right heart, a right motive. Simon when he saw the Holy Ghost was received after the laying on of hands, he said here is money, give me this gift that whosoever I lay my hands upon will receive the Holy Ghost too. People are selling the unsellable. We had a wave one time of you buying into the anointing. Blatant disregard for the truth. Peter said your money perishes with you. Acts 8:18-21. He said your heart is not right before God. You can’t partake of the Holy Ghost without a right heart. You are looking for power to be famous? Zero! Power to be acknowledged? Zero! You have no part or lot in this matter because your heart is not right in the sight of God. 2 Chronicles 16:9.
- A heart for God and the interest of His kingdom.
1 Samuel 13:14. We saw where his heart was 1 Samuel 17:23. His heart was not in the reward that anybody will give him. He went with his life in his hands against Goliath. He returned triumphant by the anointing on Him. 1 Samuel 13:14. Everyone with a genuine heart of God enjoys the continuous release of unction, a heart of God entitles us to fresh oil from day to day. He knows that whatever He decks you with, you will use it for Him. Church Gist. You are after Him, your heart is for Him. A heart for God and the interest of His kingdom entitles believers to the continuous flow of fresh oil. Psalm 89:20-24. Our love for God is a covenant requirement for sustainable empowerment. So it doesn’t just answer to a cry “oh God empower me” for what? What is in what you are looking for? What do you think qualifies you access?
What does it take to access the realm of continuous empowerment?
Be committed to the continuous study of the word for where no wood is, there the fire goes out. Proverbs 26:20. Be committed to the continuous study of the word that is the wood that keeps the fire of the Holy Ghost burning. The fire on the altar shall be kept burning, it shall not be put out but the priest must put wood on it every morning. Leviticus 6:12-13. No matter the cry, where there is no wood the fire will go out. We need the wood to keep the fire burning. Before the word came we were in prayers, after the word came we stopped prayers. Church Gist. Before we had the fire, we didn’t have the wood to sustain it. After the wood, we quenched the fire. Can you imagine the state of the church? Before the word came, everything was by prayer. After the word came, we thought prayer was no longer necessary so we went back to square 1. You will never be back to square 1. No amount of intercession will be a substitute for the need for continuous revelation. They must work together. Prayer without the word is fire without the wood. The word without prayer is wood without fire. Dead! To keep the fire burning, we must remain committed to the continuous study of the word. That is how Paul kept it burning and he taught Timothy to study if you don’t want to be ashamed. Study if you don’t want the fire to go out. 2 Timothy 2:15, 4:13.
In conclusion, empowerment is for service not for show. Without a heart to serve, none of us is a candidate for empowerment. It’s not for show, it’s for service. Christ was anointed to set free the captives, to bind the broken hearted, to open the prison doors to them that are in it. You are anointed to serve not for show. Church Gist. That one is a Pastor does not mean he is a servant. There are many bossy Pastors who are serving nobody else but everybody must serve them. It’s for service! You can’t be empowered sitting down, you are empowered serving. There are many founders like small small people like us who just think that “foundership” is a substitute for service. You lose the power in no time sir, in no time! There are leaders in Church [head of units, this and that] they think that’s how… you are not serving, they are just serving you, you are wasting your time. Wake up! You saw the way He sent the Apostles out? Everybody on his mission is entitled to his empowerment.
He called his twelve and gave them power over all devils and to cure diseases. He didn’t give them power to go and sit down and say “we are Apostles” power, go! Go into the field, go serve Me. Luke 9:1, Matthew 10:1. Power is to not for. Power is to, to do something and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Mark 16:7/12-13. We are empowered to serve not to sit tight. We are empowered to serve His interest not our interest. Church Gist. In serving His interest, our interest flows in on their own accord. Can I hear your Amen? We can’t sustain the power without sustaining the service. The sustainability of the empowerment requires sustainability of stewardship. In serving God lies our sustainable empowerment. In serving His interest lies our sustainable empowerment.
Some of these may be Old testament in your view, by my little calling I had no privilege for a honeymoon after marriage and I can’t remarry so that experience is gone and I couldn’t feel it. I didn’t feel it, I didn’t feel I am wrong. In those days, nobody gives offering to anybody so it’s not offering motivated. It’s not offering motivated, it’s not. It’s not popularity! There was no microphone were we were preaching, so it is not that you are preaching to a group or something. I rode on a motorbike like Elijah on the chariot to a place. How many were there? They were less than sixty but I mustn’t get there late sir. The helmet on the one at my back fell off, I couldn’t wait. He said “helmet” I said “mark where it is” I can’t wait and there were no many thieves like today, so we met it there when we came, somebody put it by the side. If it’s today it has gone! Overseas! Amen! My God! I couldn’t wait. People are not ready to serve and they want to be empowered, you are wasting time, it doesn’t happen. Sustainable empowerment is for stewardship. It’s for stewardship, it’s not for leadership. It’s for stewardship, it’s servants who emerge leaders. Church Gist. Leadership is a product of stewardship not the other way round.
Leadership is a result of stewardship not the other way round. The servants indeed today, emerge leaders tomorrow and they still keep serving not to come down.
In conclusion, empowerment is for our enthronement so we can gain command over the affairs of life. Psalms 110:2. It’s for our enthronement! When you are in government, they say “you are in power” Is that not what they say? We have been redeemed as priests and kings to reign on the earth. Church Gist. No king reigns in Israel until he is anointed. Empowerment is our access to enthronement. Enthronement connotes command. In the precious name of Jesus, before you are out of this mountain of Shiloh, your enthronement shall be established.
This is one evidence of fresh oil, joy and rejoicing. You can’t be anointed and be down. They call him “the Oil of gladness” The oil of joy! Every truly anointed person exudes the joy of the LORD as a lifestyle. My God! He’s given us the oil of joy for mourning; that’s the anointing, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that we might be called trees of righteousness, the plantings of the LORD that He may be glorified. He anointed Jesus Christ with the oil of gladness above His fellow. Paul the Apostle said “Yea and I will rejoice” under the persecution of false brethren “yea, I will rejoice” Church Gist. You can’t take the joy away from an anointed man. As you sustain your access to fresh oil, watch out for the manifestation of joy and rejoicing as a lifestyle and that will be turned into healing, health and wholeness. Proverbs 17:22. Watch out for the joy! Maintain the oil and you retain the joy. Maintain the joy and you will retain the flow. Retain the joy and you will retain the flow.
I want to believe that each will choose to align with the demands of sustainable empowerment and keep enjoying it in the name of Jesus and keep growing in it in the name of Jesus and keep enjoying it in the name of Jesus. From now, wherever your name is called for evil, the power of God at work in you will strike. Wherever any devil may take your name to, there shall be a crash from heaven in the name of Jesus Christ. We are built into a spiritual house as lively stones, you come against the stone, you are broken, the stone comes against you, you are grounded into powder. Church Gist. From now, I release you as touch not entity to your world and may all the blessings of empowerment outlined in this teaching, begin to manifest in your life in the name of Jesus Christ! In the name of Jesus Christ, every year of our lives from now shall be brighter than the previous. The manifestation of the Spirit shall be on the increase in our lives from time to time in the name of Jesus and so shall it be. Rise to your feet. Give the LORD, the biggest hand of praise! Lift up your two hands and thank God for the empowerment that has been transmitted to us in the course of this three teachings this morning.
Now, cry out “Empower me to the next level in my walk with You. Empower me into the next level in my Christian journey.” Come on, go ahead and pray, we are at one level right now, there are many many many levels ahead. Empower me to the next levels. Empower me to the next levels in my Christian journey. Empower me to the next levels Jesus in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
I got a testimony from Smith Wigglesworth many years ago, 1979. You know we had that experience in one of our local crusades. After the meeting we got to our room where we were staying because these are village crusades, it was one room for about five of us on the mat. We are getting in, a black human-size structure faceless rolled out from the door as we opened, nobody was sleeping we were awake and a big bird like a vulture left from the Window and I said “Hey folks, the devil has no right to tell us when to pray. Go and sleep.” We slept on the head of the devil. I said “when you wake up in the morning and somebody’s head looks stiff, just touch him. Don’t pray, just touch him.” We all woke up. Church Gist. Sir, you can be transmitted with Power through the testimonies of others. You live in fear to lose your place. There is so much inside you. Most time, you are not in touch with it but in the precious name of Jesus, I pray that everyone’s genuine desperation today will lead to new levels. One disoriented individual began to scratch my face on a sticker and the other person said “look, why are you doing that?” He said “go and report to him” and right on the spot he went blind. Live! In Abuja, live! Right on the spot he went blind. I don’t know him, I don’t know his name, I didn’t pray for him, I didn’t pray against him. I didn’t hear until when I heard that he was blind. My God! Whosoever touches you, touches the apple of my eyes. We got to one of those nations and one notorious witch had arrived, she was welcomed with bumps and pleasantries, all those demonic things and we came in and we came in to the same hotel, she fled, she disappeared, I didn’t see her, I didn’t know she came, we arrived in the hotel she fled. We are talking of power, we are not talking of speeches, power!
From today, with a genuine crave for a genuine purpose, with a right motive, I decree your new level of empowerment and by this fresh empowerment, I decree supernatural restoration of whatever the enemy may have stolen from you. Church Gist. By this anointing, I curse every hand of the wicked on any one of us. Every one appointed to death is rescued right now! A ritual killer, or whatever, caught up with some individual and took her and the phone rang while they were taking her in the car and I was speaking in tongues on that… I think it saved her. He said “who is that?” That’s my father. Who is he? Bishop Oyedepo. They parked “please come down, tell him we didn’t touch you o, tell him we didn’t touch you” I was speaking in tongues not they heard what I was saying, I was speaking in tongues “please, tell him we didn’t touch you. He had his money to go back from where we took him from.” My God! You are going somewhere. Somebody was going for a marriage, they took him this year and when their head saw it, he said “ah, are you a Winner?” He said “yes” I don’t want Baba’s problem, please let him go. From now, the devil can’t wait for your trouble anymore! It’s your turn! Every man presses! Grace to keep pressing to new levels of empowerment, receive it in the name of Jesus!
Now, let me humble us with this, one thousand cubits, one thousand cubits, one thousand cubits and then one thousand cubits. How many thousand? Four thousand. So, let’s calibrate four thousand levels of your empowerment. How much? Four thousand levels of empowerment. Maybe I am just in one hundred now. Maybe, fifty I don’t know, I am not there when they are counting it. Amen? Don’t ever feel you are there, a river than cannot be passed over. Rivers! That is, you can’t be in a flesh for a moment. You can’t be a flesh for a moment. River that cannot be passed over. You cannot be in the natural for a moment. Rivers that cannot be passed over! Jesus came out of the grave to operate in that realm. He said “don’t touch me, don’t touch me. We are not in that realm anymore.” See yourself as registering in a school of four thousand classes not one hundred level, two hundred level. You know, four thousand classes and you have to move from one to another, one to another and now none of us is one thousand and the thing is four thousand. I don’t know whether you are one but I am not sure I am one thousand yet but we are going four thousand way. Please, grace to keep pressing from level to level in the school of power, go ahead and pray. Pray that prayer, you get to a level, you say to this, go, it goes, come, it comes. Pray! Everybody pray! Everybody pray, Jesus, grace to keep pressing and pressing from level to level in the school of power, I receive it. Grace to keep pressing and pressing in Jesus precious name we have prayed!
Goodnews! Now, listen, God will never allow any of us to be tempted beyond the present ability in us. So what you carry now can deal with what is harassing you. What you carry presently can deal with what is currently challenging you. Isn’t that goodnews for someone? Church Gist. You don’t have to wait to reach one thousand level, where you are now, whatever comes against you, God means I have enabled you at this point to deal with it. Don’t say when I reach five hundred then I will be able to deal with this sickness. Right now, where you are!
For I will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. I am the principal of the school, I won’t let them give you the exam of class three in class one, no! You will not be tempted beyond what you are able, so where you are now can deal with what is confronting you now. Where you are now can deal with what is confronting you now. Come on now, look at those things in the face and say “I command you, get off my back!” Church Gist. I command you, get out of my way. Get out of my way! Get out of my way! I command you satan, get behind me, satan get behind me. I have authority over you in the name of Jesus. Get behind me! Get behind me in the name of Jesus, I have authority over you. Get behind me, satan! Get behind me now. Get behind me satan and get behind me now! In Jesus name! Amen. Now, let me tell you this, when you confront those issues in the name, you are taking cover under the authority of Christ. Come on now, you are taking cover, when you say “in the name of Jesus, get thee behind me that I am invoking the anointing of Christ the anointed against you. Get thee behind me” My God! So wherever you are now, He has enabled you at this point to deal with those things. You say to that foul spirit “get thee behind me” it will get back and you say in the name of Jesus Christ because that name is like an anointing spread forth. Songs of Solomon 1:3. When you say in the name of Jesus, you are spraying the anointing “shhhhhh…” The anointing of Jesus the Christ at whose name every knee bows.
You are saying “look, my anointing may not get to that level but here am I with the authority to use the anointing on Christ, get thee behind me in the name of Jesus!” Now, whatever you don’t want to see anymore after this event, come on now command them. In the name of Jesus, get thee behind me! In the name of Jesus Christ, get thee behind me satan! The demon of prayerlessness, the demon of loosed talk, carnal thinking, get thee behind me in the name of Jesus Christ. Get thee behind me satan!
Thank You Jesus! Get thee behind me satan in the name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus precious name we have prayed. I was healed of tuberculosis the same year I was saved by taking cover in the anointing of Christ. I didn’t know what I was doing, I said “Jesus Christ, if it’s true You did all that You did in the New testament, do it now!” His anointing came forth and tuberculosis went home, went back. Church Gist. Therefore, for that sickness that came with you, is gone forever! That oppression that came with you in the name of Jesus, gets behind you now! That confusion that came with you to this Shiloh, gets off your back now! In the name of Jesus Christ! So shall it be! No one prayed for me, the anointing in the name set me free. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, every Word of healing you hear will sustain your health, for now you have authority over it and it must obey you in the name Jesus! Excited this morning, lift up your two hands and celebrate God. Give Him glory and praise. Amen! Halleluyah!
