RUNNING WITH ANY DIVINE TASK COMES ALONG WITH A LOT OF TEMPTATIONS.
YOU BREAK OFF FROM ALL THOSE TEMPTATIONS OF ASKING YOU TO TAKE IT EASY, WATCH IT, CHECK THE PROS AND THE CONS OR YOU WILL JUST MISS OUT.
WHEN ANY WORD COMES ALONG, IT MEANS THE TIME FOR THAT WORD IS NOW: RESPONDING TO IT BRINGS OUT BEAUTIFUL OUTCOME.
A DRAG WON’T DO ANYTHING. A DRIVE WILL NOT EVEN PERFORM.
MAXIMUM DELIVERY IS A FUNCTION OF A DIVE.
A DIVE IS A PROOF THAT YOU TRUST HIM.
A DRAG IS A PROOF THAT YOU DOUBT HIM
WE NEED THE GRACE FOR A DIVE, INSTEAD OF DOING CEREMONY ALL AROUND AND SPEAKING GRAMMAR ALL OVER THE PLACES.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP
Give God thanks specially again this morning, for another brand-new working week which is your week.
-This week is your week. It is answering to you in all areas.
-It is your week of testimonies.
Give Him thanks if you believe that. Every prophetic Word that came forth for the week must answer and deliver in your life. Celebrate and magnify Him.
-It is a week in which you will rejoice and be glad in.
-Concern free week, distraction free week. A week of good reports.
Give Him thanks ahead of it. Give Him thanks for the week, it is your week.
-The week of everything falling into place.
Give Him thanks and praise, in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Prayers: Jesus, speak to me this week and set me back upon my feet so I can keep walking in the light of Your Word.
Speak to me this week, let Your Word come alive to me. Let my own Word come this moment and thank You Lord for it, in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
In the name of Jesus, each one’s ears shall hear from Heaven, each one’s heart shall understand it and we will be right on our feet walking in the light of His Word. In Jesus precious name.
We serve a God of times and seasons – Ecclesiastes 3:1
He makes all things beautiful in His time – Ecclesiastes 3:11
So every time, His Word comes, it is accompanied with His beauty when responded to. He makes all things beautiful in His time, not outside His time. Church Gist. Not before His time.
When any Word comes along, it means the time for that Word is now: responding to it brings out beautiful outcome.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
The ongoing four dimensions of Church growth prophetic agenda for every assembly in this Church, this year demands prompt response for anyone that believes in it.
You engage in it, then you are entitled to four quantum leaps in return, for He makes all things beautiful in His time.
If you noticed, all of those striking testimonies, people just jumped at the Word when it came and their testimonies came out of it. They are not people who wanted to think about it and want to see whether it applies to them or not and before they finished thinking and seeing, the beauty of it is gone.
Every vision or instruction from the Lord is a race and it takes prompt response to ever win the prize.
They can’t say, “on the marks” and you say, “you are going to toilet.” By the time you come (back), you have missed your place in the race. It is gone.
“On your marks”
Response: I want to take a nap.
Go and nap yourself. Before you wake up out of the nap, the race is over.
No one wins a race without responding promptly to the demands of that race.
‘On your marks’ means absolute concentration, no distraction. Get on your toes: that is the meaning. ‘On your marks’ means get on your toes, no excuses.
Hebrews 12:1
Every vision is a race – Habakkuk 2:2
No one should ever think of winning a race when walking around, when they say ‘on your marks’
He is the fastest runner in the world: Yes
But they say, ‘on your marks’, he says, “yes, my God, these are not people I am trying to compete with.” By the time he comes back to compete with anybody, he is the last of the last. They don’t even count him. They see him as a refuse on the track, they clear him off the place, that the boy is mad.
Every vision is a race. Church Gist. You are either on your toes or you are out of the race.
-May the Lord grant every one of us the sensitivity to every prophetic grace as they come our way.
Check all the testimonies, you have ever heard, if you have the opportunity to go through them on the net, they are people that, ‘on your marks, go’: they just went full blast, ‘gboa’; same day.
Prompt response is the key to maximizing every divine agenda.
Our exhortation line is:
PROMPT RESPONSE COUNTS THE MOST IN OUR WALK WITH GOD
Hebrews 3:7-8
Running with any divine task comes along with a lot of temptations. You don’t break off, you’ll lose out. You break off from all those temptations of asking you to take it easy, watch it, check the pros and the cons. You will just miss out.
The word comes: You are on
Delayed response is very costly. Church Gist. Don’t toy with it.
They procured his wrath because they hardened their hearts when they heard His voice/
Today, we check on these two points:
Every Prophetic Word Demands a Dive for Maximum Delivery.
You remember the pool of Bethesda – John 5:2-7
Everyone that first steps in, is made whole of whatever disease. It demands a dive, not a drag. Not even a drive, but a dive: whosoever first steps into it.
There was no premonition, Abraham just heard from God, “depart from thy country” and so Abraham departed – Genesis 12:1, 4
Not, “I am coming first. My in-law, my outlaw, we need to talk over issues, my land.”
“Get out”
Okay, “circumcise all the male born in your house” – Genesis 17:11
You have not seen it before, this is the first time you are going to do it: whether you will die when you do it or not.
As soon as God left off speaking with Abraham, he began – Genesis 17:23
And began with himself: so let me die first.
Selfsame day. Prompt response.
A drag won’t do anything. A drive will not even perform, but maximum delivery is a function of a dive. A dive!!
-May each one receive grace from henceforth, to maximize every revelation that you catch in the Word of God, every prophetic direction that we receive, in order to maximize it.
This whole mandate was delivered 2nd of May (1981)
First meeting called: 6th of May (1981)
Fellowship began: 29th of May (1981)
What is happening? Is Christ coming next tomorrow? We don’t know.
“Arise, get down to Lagos”: No reason, no premonition, no nothing. Same day! Same day, somebody was dispatched to Lagos.
“You are going now on mission to Africa”: Okay Sir
January: Pray for the people
February: Everybody, blow out
Maximum delivery is a function of a dive. Church Gist. A dive is a proof that you trust Him.
A drag is a proof that you doubt Him, you are not sure whether He is the One talking to you, whether that will be the solution to what you are talking about.
We need the grace for a dive, instead of doing ceremony all around and speaking grammar all over the places. We all need the grace for a dive.
Isaiah 55:1,11
You get on a dive to get on the purpose of that Word. For instance, you can’t go hunting for 12 established souls and not see the hand of God. You can’t go hunting for it. But you can’t sit down celebrating the prophetic direction and get anything out of it.
You can’t say, “I will start tomorrow. I mean, it is only 12. By October, I will be free. I am just getting into it.”
The grace to make it happen has left longest time. Can you imagine Naaman going for a council meeting in Syria before going to Jordan? Leprosy will multiply. The power that cleanses in Jordan from leprosy has left. It came to trouble that water, to release that virtue: you have not stepped in, you are doing ceremony all over town. Retain your leprosy.
A dive is key to maximizing every prophetic agenda.
I pray that no one will miss the demand for a dive.
You are hearing today because it is another day. Let no evil heart of unbelief grab you and hold you hostage.
Break loose: I will obey God!!!
-Somebody is stepping out of that situation right now.
Every instruction delivers the most with timely response as in the case of Abraham. We all know it.
“Take thy son”, the most costly instruction under heaven, “thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest and whom thou waited for 25 years” – Genesis 22:1-2
And Abraham rose up early in the morning – Genesis 22:3
He heard it in the dead of the night, rose early in the morning and from there encountered a sworn blessing.
“By Myself have I sworn” – Genesis 22:16
-Many Winners will encounter a sworn blessing this year.
When God swears a blessing, your struggles end. It is the end of all strife. When God swears a blessing upon a man, the struggles of his life come to an end.
-May each one earn Heaven’s sworn blessing this month by your prompt, highly passionate dive into God’s agenda for this season.
You did it promptly, “I swear”: Maximize the blessings thereof.
“I swear.”
God said, “give me that thing” and I smiled. I said to my wife, “God said, we should give him that thing.”
She said, “Praise the Lord.”
On my way home, the same day, “My son David, even if you don’t want to be rich, it is too late. I swear by Myself My prosperity over your life. I swear. Let me see any devil who will come on the line. It is Me, that swears.”
The day I heard Matthew 6:33, I joined into it, wrote a terrible vow over it 46 years ago. He swore His grace, kept me going: testimonies never ending.
You better wake up. God has no special favourites. Only the obedient attract His favour.
Prayers: Lord, I have dragged enough. I have even tried to drive enough but a drive won’t make it, a drag won’t make it. Lord, I receive grace for a dive.
Every revelation you reveal to me in my studies, grace to dive into it.
Every Word I receive from fellowships, in Church services, I dive into it.
Receive that grace. Everybody needs that grace.
The grace for a dive, a dive for obedience of faith. The water is being stirred. It carries our virtues that enhances our values inside it. Take that grace from Heaven, in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Well, we have our dragnet for the week: Breaking Invisible Barriers Service
That family, 5 well built boys, no one could get married for 15 years: Jesus broke the barrier and released the destiny of His sons.
Next Sunday, there is no one in any form of chains that will not go home a free man and a free woman, in the name of Jesus.
Some have worked and worked and nothing to show. They have several positions, nothing to show. Nothing. Everything haywire.
But by a prophet, the Lord brough Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet was he preserved.
Prayers: Ask for the breath of the Holy Ghost upon these fliers, to bring every captive out of their captivity, to rescue every soul that is in a pit where there is no water, to open up the destiny of closed ones, rewrite the story of many.
Holy Ghost, breathe on these fliers, ‘Breaking Invisible Barriers’
Jesus is the One that sets free and sets free indeed. Ask the Lord, Holy Spirit breathe upon these fliers and do the unusual this coming Sunday, in the name of Jesus. So shall it be.
Everyone that receives these fliers will respond. Those not saved among them will be saved. Those in chains will be released. Every invisible barrier that you cannot see with the eyes, Jesus will break it, in the name of Jesus.
-The week is your week.
Celebrate your God for this brand-new week, with brand-new blessings awaiting you.
SPEAK TO THE WEEK
The week opens up to you, Monday all through to the end of it, on Saturday.
-No concerns, no distractions. No issues to grab with.
-You are triumphing gloriously on every side.
Speak to the week, like someone who wants to take command of it.
