- Bishop David Oyedepo on DECLARING 2023 PROPHETIC HARVEST WEEKS || Covenant Wonder Night|| Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || 27th January 2023
Please take time tonight to be intentional about your attention because one word from God can turn a fortune out of a life. He sent a word unto Jacob and turned him into a nation. If you will diligently hearken, not anyhow you like, to my voice and observe to do all I tell you to do, it has power to set you above all nations of the earth. Deuteronomy 28:1. It is all this religiosity that has put us where we are. Just sit down as an established Church member, yes what are they saying? What is this babbler saying? Church Gist. One word from God. Be intense. It is a highly prophetic service. God named it Covenant Wonder Night. He wants to unveil to you the wonders hidden in the covenant so you can become a wonder to your world. Please listen intensely, it is a night of diverse visitations. You won’t miss your own.
Prayer: Lord I must not miss the encounter reserved for me in this Wonder Night. Help me to stay focused. I receive grace not to miss my encounter.
One of the great benefits of prayer and fasting is clarity of access to divine guidance. Isaiah 58:11-12. So it is ordained for clarity of divine guidance and listen to me. All those amazing wonders we have recorded over the years came through in the course of fasting and prayer. Most of them. Particularly the records of 2019-2022. They were all delivered fresh during the January course of prayer and fasting. “You are planting 5,000 churches this time”. What! That is more than all we had in 32 years of engagement in church planting but He did it. Church Gist. Refuse to subject divine agenda to intellectual censorship. The brain of man is too small to appraise God. I won’t say that, God said it and to prove that He said that, He did it. The few moments remaining God wants to guide you. You have been guiding yourself all your life, He wants to guide you on the most profitable path in 2023.
Then came 2023, against our agenda, “plant 10,000 churches”. What! We have not recovered from the euphoria of planting 5,000 churches and He did. That is more than what we had in 33 years. The brain of man is too weak to censor God. In 2021, He said He will double the number of cells. He added to us 21,000 cells in Lagos. More than our 26 years of cell ministry endeavours. Church Gist. For mocking the will of God and asking “shall these things be?” He died. Please keep yourself in the fear of God. God is not asking you to do it, He is telling you what to do if you care to be a part of it. Isaiah 28:21-22. Neither be ye mockers lest you become victims where you should be beneficiaries.
He said we are entering 75 new nations. How? He did it. What did you and I do? How shall these things be since I know not a man? He said the Holy Ghost will come. Who does it? The Holy Ghost. Church Gist. He is the facilitator of heaven’s agenda on the earth. The Holy Ghost. He can make a virgin become pregnant. The Holy Ghost.
So I am unveiling to us tonight as His prophet set over this house, what he is saying to do because as the Holy Ghost has said over and again. Church Gist. This shall be every Winners Isaac order of year. Everyone’s spiritual investment this year will return as enviable testimonies. Luke 1:34-35. Thank you Jesus.
While beholding His face in the course of this ongoing prayer and fasting. God revealed to me His appointed weeks of harvests for this Church this year saying “The first twelve weeks of the year after the ongoing prayer and fasting shall be your appointed weeks of harvest as a Church”. Interestingly we saw how the Ark of God was kept in the house of Obed Edom for three months which resulted in breaking news order of blessings. The King heard God has blessed Obed Edom beyond imagination. Playing host therefore to the Ark of God can be likened to engaging with the move of God which implies dedication to kingdom advancement endeavour. Church Gist. Making a sacrifice of time, energy and resources in serving the Lord and the interest of His kingdom as Obed Edom did and it shall result in supernatural change of story for everyone who cares to engage In like manner. God is speaking to someone here “Come awake. I am not looking for who to use, I am looking for who to bless”. May you be that man and that woman that God wants to bless.
Therefore from February 6th, a Monday to April 30th, a Sunday is hereby declared our 2023 prophetic weeks of harvest in all of our churches worldwide and we expect to see every assembly in this church experience a minimum four times of our present size on or before April 30th 2023. In like manner, we expect to see a minimum of twice the number of functioning home cells in every local church on or before April 30th 2023 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Lord of the harvest.
But it is not enough to believe we must do what He commands us to do because faith without works is dead. James 2:18-20.
What then are we to do to secure full delivery of our portion as individuals? Anyone that truly desires to see twelve souls minimum saved and four established in this church, should enter into a love-motivated covenant with God for speedy delivery and expect to experience the hand of God to make it happen. Not just a covenant, love-propelled, love-boosted covenant with God. Then you find His hand for the speedy delivery of the same. God must have His place for us to secure our place. God first then we next. Zechariah 7:13. Church Gist. You draw near to me and I will draw near to you. You are with me, I will be with you. You forsake me, I will forsake you. We serve a covenant-keeping God and He relates with us on His terms. Many new generation Isaacs will rise in this Church this year with fearful testimonies. Men and women, boys and girls will be sharing testimonies with tears and I mean tears of joy.
The hand of the Lord was upon Elijah and he outran the horses of Ahab to Jezreel. 20 miles race with divine speed. All we have enjoyed all those years are divine speed signalled by divine direction. We are going to see wonders. God has ordained that all that keeps to the terms of His covenant and delivers the same by faith shall be launched into the realm that eyes have not seen nor ears heard. That is emerging as pathfinders, pacesetters and trailblazers. Church Gist. There shall be an army of pacesetters, trailblazers and pathfinders from this Church this year. As we engage in this early investment, our returns will tumble in this year after the order of Isaac. It is your turn.
Genesis 26:12-13. Abimelech and his defence leaders went to make peace with Isaac. He was mightier than the nation in which he lived. Folks are going to rise here across the nations of the world that will become spectacles to the world. Galatians 4:28. So we share the same heritage with Isaac. Church Gist. We are a people to be envied not to be pitied. We are not redeemed as a burden but a blessing. We are not redeemed as beggars but as distributors towards the well-being of mankind.
No matter the integrity of the prophetic word, only those who believe it will ever see it come to pass in their lives. God’s Word is the more sure word of prophecy but how much of that has come through in many believers’ lives. That came from the mouth of God. The Holy God. The thrice Holy God. Church Gist. So it is not just about the integrity of the source but the faith of the recipient. Believe the Lord your God and you shall be established, believe what He says through His prophets and you shall prosper. Believe the Lord your God.
As the Lord lives on or before April 30th what is happening in your nation notwithstanding, we live in a nation that has just been going and going down. God forbid that we go down forever, we are going to be out of it. Yet you have the Church of Christ shining bright. No matter the prevailing conditions on the earth, God’s word never fails. Planting churches across nations during Coro. Coro is too small to stop God. How can you be exploding on all sides in a depressed economy? A down and out economy like we have like Nigeria. Church Gist. Understand spiritual things from a natural perspective. There was famine in the land, they were offering themselves for sale and yet Israel dwelt in the same land in Goshen and had possessions and grew exceedingly. What? Genesis 47:26-27. The famine was so bad and then the prosperity was so robust. What a paradox. That is the efficacy of the covenant.
What we believe is what defines our experience not what is happening around us. Why are we doing this? We will be told later why this drive. Line up and maximize the blessings loaded in this move.
What is in it for us? Jeremiah 30:19-21. I will glorify the fellows who engage their heart in it. I will make nobles out of them, armies and Captains of industries out of them. That’s the summary of Jeremiah 30:19-21.
That’s your story! That is your story!
You are emerging out of these prophetic weeks of harvest as a surprise to yourself. Somebody was testifying 40%, 400 %, 1000%, something will happen in your life!
We are in a very strange season, get set for it! Don’t sell your birthright for a morsel of meat. Settle down. Pray, strategize, budget and implement, you’ll be glad you did.
You are running into realms of Favour that you have neither read or heard about.
Stand to your feet. Church Gist. Give the Lord a biggest hand of praise. Lift your two hands to heaven everybody! Express your faith in this agenda! Take a strong position in this stuff! It’s a stuff that never goes down and never fails.
PERSONAL SUPPLICATION
My crown another man will not take! There’s a crown reserved for you and me in these prophetic weeks of harvest. My crown another man will not take.
Jeremiah 5:24. It’s part of heaven’s culture. Amos 3:7. You don’t get disappointed operating in the realm of God’s appointed time. There is nothing down, that will not be up. There is nothing closed that will not be open. You are not only going through those 12 weeks, it will become a lifestyle.
Somebody’s story will change!
Can I remind you this story? I can’t remember what I was preaching, but I was preaching anyway and the church was built because of a passion not to leave a village without a church being planted there. Church Gist. I was 19 years old sir! It’s not a yesterday job. I was not called into ministry and I didn’t know the meaning of ministry, but there’s no church in the village? They said no. Ah, no, I mustn’t leave here without Jesus being planted here. I had 72 days to leave there. 72 days, not one year! My God and I encountered destiny!
Many will encounter destiny here!
On my departure from the church we built in 72 days, church was ready in 40 days. Well, a bit of grass but it’s a church. Church Gist. I was sent up there with a lantern, the light you brought to our village, let it shine round the world.
Listen to me, all members of the Winners family, you will encounter destiny! With a genuine passion!
You will encounter destiny with a genuine love-fired passion! Jesus died to see them saved, what are you giving to see them saved?
All the places we used to trek, Jesus said Be quiet. We are flying over those places today. It’s not a century! Shut up, you clowns! We are flying over their heads now! We were mushroom churches now we are Much Room churches! My God, God will give you an encounter with destiny in these 12 weeks!
Now go before the Lord in your Personal Supplication, take your position in this covenant and any other thing you want to ask the next few minutes and talk to God. This is your personal supplication time, you may sit, you may stand but ensure you pray.
Express your faith in this agenda. Church Gist. Some will get it done within one week. Some others will get it done within 2 weeks. Some people’s converts will start bringing converts. You have a place in it, take your place, take your place! Take your place, take your place! You have a place in this strong wave, take your place!
It’s the place you give God in your heart that determines your placement on earth!
My son, give me your heart and watch what I make out of your life. Church Gist. Give me your heart, give me your heart! Your neighbors are waiting, your colleagues at work are waiting, your claims are waiting, your workers are waiting, your employers of labor are waiting. Waiting to be invited to Jesus!
Everything holding you down begin to break off from it! You need guidance, ask Him right now. No guesswork this year, no trial by error this year!
Whatever you call forth tonight will return as testimony! We have a prayer advantage in this Fasting and prayer season! Church Gist. You will cry onto Me and I will say Here I am. In Jesus Precious name we pray!
Everyone stand to your feet!
The same way God has guided this church from beginning till now, I decree your access to divine guidance! There shall be no mis-investment of energy and resources this year! Every of your step this year shall be divinely guided! No one among us shall labour in vain! Church Gist. No more regrets in your life! Grace to be a man and woman that walks in the spirit to access divine signals, divine instructions, divine corrections, receive that now in the name of Jesus!
Paul said If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit, let’s walk in the spirit. Grace to be one that walks in the spirit to access heaven’s directive for your life, receive it now in the name of Jesus!
Every genuine interest in Kingdom advancement endeavours launched men into fearful favor, therefore I decree that your engagement in these prophetic weeks of harvest will launch you and your household into realms of strange favor! Fearful Favour ! Undeniable Favour! Speaking Favour! The Favour that speaks on its own! Church Gist. That speaks for you in places! Receive it in the name of Jesus!
Men’s and brethren, sons and daughters in the faith, I have never run out of favour since I signed that covenant. I’ve never run out of favour sir, you know why I know? I’ve never begged! I’ve never lacked! Sir, I’ve never seen a man look at me and say, You’re a fool. Church Gist. They may talk against me, you think they’re talking against me, when I look at them, they say, Thank you sir, You are just a blessing to us.
You can’t pursue God and suffer shame! Every trace of shame hanging around anyone’s life, within these 12 weeks, you will see no trace of it!
Whatever God told Abraham, he went into it. My God, can’t you see Abraham still speaking right now? He is still alive! Delightful obedience to God entitles you to generational blessing! Delightsome obedience, not coerced! That God says it and you just take it and enjoy it! I enjoyed coming to this forest when there was nobody to follow, I enjoyed it because God said it!
I enjoyed coming to Lagos, it was not part of my ideal because we were having some level of breakthrough in Kaduna, we didn’t need to come down here for any reason. But He told me, Yes we should go. I enjoyed coming! He will always show up when you do it delightsome-ly. Church Gist. Not as a church member, as a son of God, as a daughter of God. Listen to me as I close: this is not an ambition, No. God never backs up ambition. This is not a show of strength, by strength shall no man prevail. This is God in the midst of His people, this is heaven’s agenda! Can you imagine God doubling the church in 8 weeks?! 8 weeks?! 2015. Church Gist. He doubled the church in 8 weeks. 8 weeks, 8 weeks! He doubled the church in 8 weeks because He said it.
May each one of us be bonafide beneficiaries of these prophetic weeks of harvest!
Now, let’s praise Him! What a wonderful God we serve! Give the Lord the biggest hand of praise! Now celebrate Him!
