OUR DAUGHTER THAT JUST GAVE BIRTH TO HER THIRD CHILD WAS TOLD WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED THAT SHE AND HER HUSBAND COULD NEVER HAVE CHILDREN
THEY BELIEVED GOD THAT FRUITFULNESS WAS IN THEIR HERITAGE
TO THE GLORY OF GOD, TODAY NUMBER 3 (third child) HAS ARRIVED
THE CHILD OF A BAKER DOES NOT BEG BREAD.
FRUITFULNESS IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT
DON’T WAIT TO BE FRUITFUL!
ACTIVATE YOUR FRUITFULNESS RIGHT IN CHRIST!!
THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE! MAKE DEMANDS FOR IT IN PRAYER!!
WHAT YOU DON’T WANT, DO NOT WATCH! CONFRONT IT!!
IGNORE NEGATIVE MEDICAL REPORTS!!
GOD’S FRUITFULNESS SUPERCEDES ANY MEDICAL REPORT!!!
REMAIN AT PEACE ALWAYS! TAKE NO OFFENSE. LET GO OF SADNESS AND REJOICE ALWAYS
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ATTRACTED ME TO GOD’S SERVANT (BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO) BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED WAS HIS LIFE OF EXCITEMENT AND FULL OF JOY.
LACK OF REJOICING HAS BROUGHT AN END TO MANY RELATIONSHIPS.
YOU’RE NEVER SMILING, ALWAYS FROWNING; WHO WANTS TO MARRY SUCH A MAN AND A WOMAN AS THAT?
IT IS THE SAME PRINCIPLE THAT WORKS FOR BARRENNESS IN TERMS OF HAVING CHILDREN THAT ALSO WORKS FOR BARRENNESS IN EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES.
EVEN IN OUR FINANCES GOD WANTS US TO BE FRUITFUL.
-Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo at SHILOH 2022|| COVENANT HIGHWAYS|| Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || 2nd Word Session || Day 3, Morning Session
Hallelujah!! Praise God! Let somebody shout the loudest hallelujah!
Will you please lift up your right hand, say after me: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word and right now again, I am ready for you. Give me my own change of story. I thank You for it! In Jesus mighty name.
Shout the loudest Amen!
Please put your hands together for the Lord and you may be seated.
This morning I count it a great privilege to be able to stand before us to share the word of God briefly and I believe God, that what He has in store for each one of us shall be practically delivered.
That Amen can be stronger!
In the first message we heard this morning, I believe we have been tremendously blessed. Church Gist. And I thank God because as that message went on and prayers were made, diverse healings have already taken place. Church Gist. You know if you were ever sick, you will know the importance of the Healing covenant. I was there and now I’m no more there!
-Somebody’s testimony shall be stronger!
Again, for that powerful word, let’s put our hands together for Jesus. Praise God.
In this segment this morning, we are going to be looking at the COVENANT OF FRUITFULNESS.
I see every form of barrenness terminated in everyone’s life today!
By way of introduction, please let’s be reminded of the fact that God has a covenant of fruitfulness with His children. The Bible is very clear about this!
Genesis 1:28. I love this scripture. See what God said from the beginning.
The first thing God said unto man after creation is: Be fruitful!
So God has a covenant of fruitfulness with you and I. Amen! He declared it from the beginning. And we must always remember that fruitfulness is not reserved for a few people. Every child of God is ordained to be fruitful. Deuteronomy 7:14.
Can you say to yourself, That’s me!
God sees even your cattle as important, how much more you and I.
So fruitfulness is not reserved for a few people, rather it is for every child of God.
What is a covenant?
Last night, God’s servant gave us a powerful definition of a covenant which kept on ringing in my heart since then.
A covenant is a sworn verdict, it’s not a promise. It’s a sworn verdict. Church Gist. However, you and I have a responsibility to engage with it before we can see it come to pass. It’s a sworn verdict. But before we can see it happen, we must engage with it. He has said to us over and over again, Responsibility is the price for greatness. Therefore we must accept the responsibility to engage with the terms of the covenant so that we can see it come to pass in our lives.
Therefore, for you and I to effectively engage the terms of the covenant, we must understand the following:
- Fruitfulness is our heritage.
Say with me: Fruitfulness! Louder please! Psalms 127:3-5.
Therefore as children of God, we are entitled to our heritage of fruitfulness. Fruitfulness is our heritage in the Lord. Acts 20:32. Fruitfulness is part of our inheritance in Christ Jesus.
Therefore we must refuse to allow ourselves to be robbed by the enemy of our inheritance.
Our daughter that just gave birth few days ago to her third child; when she got married, she and the husband were told for whatever reasons that they were not going to be able to have children. But they believed God among other things that it’s in their heritage. Our spiritual fathers and mothers are fruitful, our biological parents are fruitful so my heritage must not be taken from me. Not going to be able to have children but to the glory of God, number 3 has arrived. It is your heritage!
The thief is the one that wants to steal your fruitfulness and he shall not succeed!
Upon this mountain, your heritage and my heritage of fruitfulness shall be practically delivered!
It is often said that the child of a baker is not permitted to beg for bread. Amen! From this moment, every one looking up to God and believing him for fruitfulness, today is your day.
Somebody might say, I already have all the children and grandchildren I need. Thank God for you. But you might come across people that God will need you to minister to for them to also receive their own heritage also.
Therefore God is for all. Fruitfulness is our heritage, it’s our birth right. None of us shall be denied again!
- Fruitfulness is part of our reward for service.
Exodus 23:25,26.
Everyone under the sound of my voice today, that has gone through miscarriage before, I’ve got good news for you today, the last one you had is the last you will ever have!
Every baby that might be in the womb right now, I decree full term for you!
There shall be no more loss!
In case anyone under the sound of my voice is experiencing threatened abortion, I congratulate you because the last one you had is the last you will ever have!
I decree and declare that that baby in your womb shall be supernaturally sustained!
And at delivery, we receive mother and child alive!
“…nor be barren. There shall nothing cast their young.”
Say with me, no more miscarriages!
As you and I serve the Lord, fruitfulness is part of our reward. Church Gist. Every servant of God is entitled to a reward, to a benefit, to a pay. You shall not be denied!
Remember serving God in this respect we are talking about engaging Kingdom Advancement Endeavours as God enables you, through various ways.
Prayers, on the prayer altar; winning souls for God, helping and the various ways that God enables you. Remember, people of God, that God is not a task master. He pays everyone that serves Him diligently.
You shall be paid! I said, you shall be paid!
One of the Shilohs many years ago, God’s servant stood here on the altar and cried over and again, That God is not a robber!
Many of us across the nations of the earth involved in Kingdom Advancement Endeavours, please understand that God is not a robber, God is a rewarder!
And you shall be rewarded!
We have several examples in the Bible, in 2Kings 4, we see the story about the Shunamite woman. Church Gist. She was rewarded, you shall be rewarded. Luke 1:21,22
Zechariah the priest serving God faithfully and yet barren, but God visited him and John the Baptist came forth.
Many people under the sound of my voice, your John is coming forth!
How about Sarah and Abraham? We are all familiar with that story, in response to their kingdom service, their hospitality was rewarded and Isaac came forth.
There are many people under the sound of my voice today, your own Isaac is coming forth!
Too many life testimonies! Even if you have forgotten every one, you couldn’t have forgotten the one of last night, isn’t it?
The woman that stood here with 6 children at a go! 6 children at a go!
How many of them? Look at them!
Give the Lord a big clap offering. 4 girls and 2 boys in one sweep! That is more than slapping the devil on both cheeks.
In your own case, God will slap the devil on your behalf on all fronts!
Remember according to their testimony, they engaged in Kingdom Advancement Endeavours – winning souls, prayers, going to a motherless babies home. Now see what the Lord has done.
Your own testimony shall be stronger!
The first thing we talked about is Heritage. Shout it louder, Heritage!
The second thing we talked about is Reward. Say it louder. Louder yet!
The third thing is Demand.
We must make demand for it. James 4:2. 1 Samuel 1:27. So ask and it shall be given. Matthew 7:7.
“For this child…” specific, direct, no mincing words. “For this child, I prayed…” Hannah made a demand and God responded in her direction.
We don’t wait to be fruitful. We activate our fruitfulness right in Christ. Church Gist. Matthew 11:12.
Gods word is very clear. How do they take it? By force. Do your fist like this (clench your fists) By force. How do they take it? By force. The violent take the it by force! We make demands for our fruitfulness! Mark 11:23,24. Speak to this mountain and it will clear off your path. Be specific because God is only committed to answer that which you and I request from Him.
Our father in the Lord, Bishop Oyedepo has said over and over again that what you don’t want, you don’t watch. And what you don’t confront has a right to remain.
So stop watching barrenness, confront it and your fruitfulness will manifest in the name of Jesus.
In the Bible, we have so many examples of that. Isaac in Genesis 25:22, he demanded for fruitfulness in the altar of prayer and God gave him twins. Church Gist. What of Hannah? We just saw that example a while ago. And then we know of Manoah’s wife in Judges 13:7. She prayed and God gave her Samson – one man army.
You are the next to testify! Can I hear a louder Amen!
- We must believe against all medical odds.
Yesterday God’s servant again did justice to this subject of faith. So we are not going to dwell so much on that this morning. To believe simply means to have faith. Hebrews 11:11. Mark 9:23.
Therefore, let your confidence in God be unshakable. Release your faith. Last night among other things, we were told that faith is our access to the realm of impossibilities. Church Gist. Faith is our access to a world of unlimited possibilities.
Therefore let’s go ahead and keep on developing our faith and barrenness shall be nowhere to be found.
Someone has said and I believe this to be very true, that faith is not a pill you take, it is a muscle you work. We have to work our faith. Because without it, it is impossible to please God.
Whatever drains our faith, upon this mountain today, it shall be shattered! - Ignore negative reports.
Thank God for medical science but it is limited. Our God is an unlimited God. Say with me, Unlimited!
So ignore negative medical report. I don’t know the kind of report that might have been given to anyone under the sound of my voice today. Don’t let it determine your lifetime. Isaiah 53:1.
Say with me, I believe God’s report!
Shout a louder Amen!
Remember the second testifier yesterday? No fallopian tube. The first one had challenge, the second one had challenge, yet she stood here yesterday with 3 solid and powerful boys. Remember that testimony yesterday? 3 boys! Yet no fallopian tube! But God shattered whatever the barrier was!
Give the Lord a big clap offering!
No fallopian tube, no IVF and yet 3 boys standing solid and strong.
Someone’s testimony shall be stronger!
God’s report of fruitfulness supercedes any medical report. Church Gist. Therefore, rather that dwelling on those negative reports, feed your spirit man with the word of God.
Let the word of God dwell in you richly! Meditate upon them, hold on to them, don’t let them go and your testimony shall be delivered!
- Remain at peace with God and yourself.
Because the Lord will fight for you, only when you and I hold your peace. Exodus 14:14.
Our God is the Prince of Peace, therefore give no room to anxiety! Don’t say, “Oh, Children, barrenness? When will I have my own?”
Your time has finally come!
Psalms 46:10.
God works in us when we are at rest.
Always remember, your peace determines the pace of your testimony.
Your peace, from this day, no devil shall take from us!
To enjoy your peace, we must shun every form of offense. No offense towards God because He’s our helper. Church Gist. If we are offended in God, who is going to help us?
Don’t be offended in God, don’t be offended in people. Let go and let God.
We heard a testimony a while ago, you must be ready to forgive anyone that you think might have offended you. Let go and let God. Understand that you cannot have the peace of God until you are at peace with Him. We cannot be at peace with God when we are offended in Him. Therefore if anyone has offended you, let go.
Say with me, I let go. Louder yet: I let it go. One more time: I let it go!!
As you let go, you are letting God in to that department of your life. Shout a loud Amen.
- Rejoice always.
We heard in the last message, that powerful message, that merriment is medicinal! Philippians 4:4.
1 Samuel 1:18. After Hannah prayed, her countenance was no more sad.
As you depart from this mountain, no more sadness!
The Bible declared that the joy of the Lord is your strength! Grace to remain joyful at all times, at all fronts, we receive it today afresh in Jesus name!
Joy is required for us to lay hold on our fruitfulness. Therefore, from today, our joy no one will steal in Jesus name!
If there’s anyone under the sound of my voice that has been saddled with sadness in any way, by reason of anything whatsoever, I congratulate you because from this day forward, the joy of the Lord becomes your portion!
We must keep rejoicing because that is where our strength is for fruitfulness!
Say with me, I shall rejoice in the Lord always!
And as I begin to conclude, that fruitfulness is not limited to child-bearing.
So someone doesn’t say that message doesn’t concern me. Oh I wish this brother or this sister were present. Church Gist. God has ordained fruitfulness for all of us His children in every department of our life. In our spiritual life for example, God has ordained us to be fruitful. Check your spiritual life. How is it now? Thank God you got born again 20, 30, 40 years ago. Glory, hallelujah! 40 years after, how fruitful are you as a Christian? Is your lamp still burning bright or is it becoming dim?
That will never be the experience of any one of us!
Fruitfulness in our spiritual walk with God!
From today, that becomes our portion!
How about fruitfulness in our career? You are hired for a job today, 2 months later, they fire you. You get another one, pray pray pray for me Prophet of God, 6 months later, they fire you. In two years, you have worked in 7 places, why? Break unfruitfulness in your career!
Therefore from today, every form of barrenness comes to an end in our lives!
It is the same principle that works for fruitfulness biologically, that works in every area of life. The same principle works for spiritual fruitfulness, works for our career and the works of our hand.
How about your relationship? Service group, how is your relationship with your group members? Are you seen as an oppressor that when he appears, everybody is running helter skelter. Oh the Lion of the tribe of the service group has arrived! Everybody take cover! Amen?
How is your relationship in your marriage, if you are married – with your spouse? With your children? With those who work with you and under you? Church Gist. How is your relationship, those of you who might be engaged and looking forward to marriage? Is it Godfearing? Is it progressive in nature? Or is it dragging you down and away from the kingdom of God? The Bible tells us if we examine ourselves, that we should judge ourselves because you are the best examiner of your life.
Every form of unfruitful relationship today comes to an end.
You get engaged to someone and then 2 months after the story is over. You get engaged to another person, 6 months after, he backs out. Church Gist. Check it and examine your self.
Now, for every one under the sound of my voice that might have been going through broken relationships, today, I decree a total turn around for you.
The last one you ever experienced by the grace of God as you follow these principles, shall be the last you’ll ever experience. Can I hear a louder Amen.
Incase you are married already and you’re having issues in your relationship, challenges here and there, wondering why am I even married? Church Gist. There are those who are married and wishing they are not, there are others who are not and wishing that they are, what a contrast. Whatever is contrary to the Word and the will of God in any one’s life right now concerning relationship, I command it to cease. Say with me I receive it!
As you put these principles to work, I believe God there shall be many, many supernatural connections before the end of this year, many have been believing God for their marital spouses, God will surprise you. Just like God embarrassed that family with 6 Children at a go, my God will give you supernatural speed. And what men have already thought is impossible for you, God will make it possible in your life. Beginning from now there shall be massive massive miracle marriages, if your own is among let your Amen show it.
You know, lack of rejoicing has brought an end to many relationships. You’re never smiling, always frowning; who wants to marry such a man as that? Who wants to marry such a lady as that? Always full of anxiety, oh! oh! oh! So, when are we going to get married? Church Gist. The man has not even known you yet, why are you anxious about marriage? Be anxious about nothing. I’ve shared my testimony over and again that one of the things that attracted me among other things to God’s servant before we got married in his life was excitement, full of Joy; thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus every time, Amen!
So who doesn’t want to get married to such a man, tell me? But when you’re always frowning, always looking dejected, always looking sorrowful but from today, no more. I say from today no more.
In our health God wants us to be fruitful, we heard that just few minutes ago and I believe that we all have received our miracles in the name of Jesus Christ.
In your finances and my finances, God wants us to be fruitful, no more barren pockets, let me hear your loudest Amen O. Touch your pockets like this even if you don’t have one physically, say no more barren pockets. Louder if you can say no more barren pockets. Now in the name of Jesus, I decree an overflow for you financially. I decree an overflow for you financially so that when men say there is a casting down you will keep shouting there is what?… Church Gist. Before the end of this year God will surprise you financially.
Some of you came to Shiloh this year with the assistance of some person, by Shiloh next year you will sponsor others.
Rise up on your feet everyone right now say with me no more barrenness for me o. Shout it loud, say with me no more barrenness. Loudest, no more barrenness for me in every area of my life, barrenness is terminated. Church Gist. Church Gist. Shout a loud and believing Amen.
It is the same principle that works for barrenness in terms of having Children that works for barrenness in every area of what? Of our lives.
Number one we said is what?
- Heritage
- Reward for service
- Demand for it
- Believe
- Ignore negative medical report
Ehen! The voice is getting lower and lower
- Remain at peace with God and with yourself
- Rejoice always
Lift up your right hand to God, say after me, Heavenly Father, Halleluyah. Church Gist. Lift up your right hand to God, Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, today, every form of barrenness is terminated. From this day forward, we begin to walk in the Covenant of fruitfulness.
You will testify. I say you will testify, we shall testify. Shout the loudest Halleluyah. Please put your hands together for the Lord and you may be seated. Church Gist. God bless you.
