TO MY SON…THE NEXT 25 YEARS WILL BE GREAT!

THERE SHALL BE NO MISSTEPS!

GOD TOLD ME…DON’T RAISE MONEY RAISE MEN AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU EVER NEED.

THE BIBLE IS GOD’S MANUAL FOR PROFITABLE LIVING.

LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD MAKES A BELIEVER A MAN OF IMPACT.

AS SEEDS OF ABRAHAM, WE ARE REDEEMED TO BE A BLESSING TO THE WORLD.

EVERY BELIEVER IS REDEEMED A CANDIDATE FOR IMPACT.

FAITH IS NOT JUST BELIEVING GOD, IT IS OBEYING GOD TO PROVE THAT WE BELIEVE HIM.

YOU CAN’T BE WALKING IN THE LIGHT AND BE STRANDED.

LIGHT RENDERS THE ENEMY HELPLESS. 

YOU CAN’T LIVE BY THE DICTATES OF THE SCRIPTURES AND NOT HAVE A GREAT FUTURE.

LIGHT HAS THE POWER TO MAKE A STRONG NATION OF A PERSON.

THE EFFECT OF LIGHT IS IN WALKING IN IT.

WE MUST DO THE WILL OF GOD WITH DELIGHT EVEN WHEN IT DOES NOT APPEAR CONVENIENT.

– Bishop David Oyedepo on ‘ENGAGING THE CREATOR’S MANUAL FOR SUSTAINABLE IMPACT AND RELEVANCE’ at COZA 25th Anniversary Celebration Service || Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Guzape Hills, Abuja || 14th February, 2024 ||

It’s my joy to be here tonight to be part of this glorious Anniversary Service and my prayer is that everyone present and everyone online with us around the World will be blessed in return. “He has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain.” Church Gist. So everytime we are invited by Him, we are brought to come over to Him for a blessing. Psalm 65:4.  

– May the goodness of tonight find expression into everyone’s life in the precious name of Jesus!

“In Him is life and that life is the light of men.” Church Gist. That light shows men which way to go “and that light shines in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:5,9. 

– Tonight we shall all be lighted!

– Tonight we are all going forward in the precious name of Jesus!

I’m speaking tonight on a subject that will be a blessing to all of us and it’s captioned “ENGAGING THE CREATOR’S MANUAL FOR SUSTAINABLE IMPACT AND RELEVANCE.”

– No one will ever lose relevance in his life!

Every believer is redeemed a candidate for impact. We are called the light of the World, the salt of the Earth, a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. Church Gist. We are not the salt of Heaven, we are the salt of this Earth. We are not the light of Heaven, we are the light of this dark World. That implies every child of God is redeemed a candidate of impact not just to be successful but to be impactful, to be a blessing to people.

– God is changing each one’s story tonight!

Jesus said “if you believe in me, the works that I do, shall you do also and greater works than these shall you do.” His impact is still speaking on the Earth today after over 2,000 years that He left. “Verily, verily”…He said “take it serious”… John 14:12. 

We have a most elastic destiny in redemption. Most elastic destiny! Matthew 11:11…Think of all those great patriarchs – “he that is least in the Kingdom is greater than him.” Church Gist. Think of all those great prophets that set the pace for what is happening today in the Body of Christ. None is as great as John the Baptist. That tells us how elastic our destiny in Christ is. Proverbs 4:18.

– You will never know a backward trend anymore!

– Your life from now will keep going forward!

– Your business will keep going forward!

– Your spiritual life will keep going forward!

That’s God’s agenda for us. As a seed of Abraham, we are redeemed to be a blessing to the World – “and in thy seed shall all the families of the Earth be blessed.” Church Gist. So every seed of Abraham is a global citizen of the Earth. Amen!…and that’s where you are going!

– No one here shall be a burden to his world but a blessing to your world!

The Bible is God’s manual for profitable living. 2 Timothy 3:16-17…Profitable! No guesswork. So God’s Word is sent for profitable living. He is the Creator. Jeremiah 1:5. So He is in charge. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. He is the Creator and this (the Bible) is the manual for His creature to maximize his adventure on the Earth.

Those who live by the Word can’t but make impact. Living by the Word makes a believer a man of impact. Living by the Word! Living by the Word makes a man of impact. Hebrews 4:2…that means it is designed to profit us but that profit is drawable by faith and faith simply means putting God’s Word to work. Church Gist. Faith is not just believing God, faith is obeying God to prove that we believe Him. “I believe Him, I believe Him.” No! You obey God to prove that you believe Him. “Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works.” 

Abraham wasn’t singing when God said “depart.” He departed. When He said “take Isaac you son, offer him as a sacrifice,” he moved and he is the Father of faith. He is the example of how faith works. So faith is not just believing God, faith is obeying God to prove that we believe. Church Gist. So we can draw maximally of the profit treasures in the Word by living by the Word, putting the Word to work as a lifestyle.

– Again, my prayer is that tonight shall be a night to be much remembered in your life!

2 Corinthians 3:7-10. So we are in the era of the glory that excels. Church Gist. I said, we are in the era of the glory that excels far above everything we saw as glorious in the Old Testament. Far above!

– Today will mark the end of every form of shame and reproach in everyone’s life in the name of Jesus!

This is simply pointing us to the fact that we are in the greatest season of life as the coming of Christ draws near and all we need to do is to be awake out of every form of spiritual slumber so as to make the most of our portion in this era. Church Gist. If this is so, why do we have men in the Body of Christ who never tasted success, talk less of impact? Remember, the curse causeless shall not come.

There is what I call recently, ‘The affliction of ignorance’. Ignorance is the worst disease than any physical disease you can think of. Isaiah 5:13. Church Gist. Captivity here connotes imprisonment, being edged in, kept in the same spot. Hosea 4:6. That you don’t read is not an excuse. Luke 12:47,48. So, he’s not free because he doesn’t know, he’s not. So, it’s time to come awake! Deuteronomy 30:19. Choose life

We understand in the natural that the dominion of light over darkness is instant and unquestionable. Whenever light steps in, darkness steps out. The entrance of His Word gives light and understanding to the simple that makes life outstanding. Isaiah 60:1-3,8. We don’t fly by skill in the Kingdom, we fly by light. Isaiah 60:15-22. So, light has (the) power to make a strong nation of a person. Church Gist. Men that by grace, emerge stronger than nations. That’s God’s Word. Abraham followed God and followed His Word to become a nation, had an army that could overrun another army of a nation. Isaac became the envy of the World power of his days by just obeying God. ‘Thou shall not go down to Egypt’ and he stood by it and his turnaround year came.

– Many of us here tonight, this year shall be your turnaround year as you choose to line up with the truth on every aspect of your life. The truth and nothing but the truth. 

But it’s not enough to gain access to light. We must walk in the light for the light to have effect. We must walk in the light. If you put your torchlight in your box, it has no effect, you’ll still be walking in darkness, you’ll still be stumbling. Church Gist. So, it’s not enough to write what you have found in the book, write in your notes, it’s important to put it to work. The effect of light is in walking in it. If you are not walking in the light, it has no effect. Ephesians 5:8. It’s a thing to walk in, it’s not a thing to assume.

I heard God say to me years ago, it’s now 40 years, ‘My son, there is a place for you on top if you are interested’. I was in the Book of Deuteronomy 28:1. He said ‘There is a place for you on top if you are interested’. I said ‘I’m interested’. He said ‘Whatever I tell you to do, do it. Church Gist. You don’t have to struggle’ and what He tells us is in the Book, this is the manual. ‘Whatever I tell you in my Word, do it’. Dreams may fail, visions may fail. ‘Whatever I tell you in my Word, do it’. There won’t be any believer on Earth who lives by the dictates of the scriptures without a great future…and what happens? Darkness can’t stop the way against light. Can darkness set a barricade against light? As light approaches, darkness gives up, it gives way. That’s why you can’t be walking in the light and be stranded.

– Tonight is your night.

That makes it simple for me to allow the Word to dictate my steps at all times without being coerced. Psalm 112:1-10. Church Gist. That means when you’re walking in the light, forget about the enemy. Light will render them helpless.

– The light in which we’re walking will render them helpless.

– It’s your turn for a change of story.

I’ve said it several times. What we know does not change us, it is what we do with what we know that does. Church Gist. Even what we preach doesn’t change us, it is what we do with what we know or preach. It doesn’t. James 1:22-25. So, walking in the light is work.

I wrote a piece sometimes titled ‘The Agony And Triumph Of Walking In The Centre Of God’s Will’. I mean, you just know you have to do it even when it does not appear convenient. Church Gist. Yet you have to do it with delight even when it does not appear convenient. Jesus saw the Cross, He said ‘If you will take this from me, please do’. At a point, He said ‘Look, I’m not hearing anything but let thy will be done’. He went in.

– No one will miss God here.

‘Why call ye me Lord, Lord, without doing what I tell you to do?’ It doesn’t make a difference. Church Gist. No matter how hard you pray, if you’re not walking in the light, you can’t deal with darkness. Obedience is key. Luke 6:46.

No matter how much grammar you speak, if there is no power, you can’t have light in your house. Even if you are a professor of lightning, it doesn’t matter. We believe in prayer, we believe in fasting. Church Gist. We are in it. Jesus taught us to do it but outside obedience, nothing works. 1 Samuel 15:22. 

– May we all receive afresh tonight the grace for delightsome obedience to everything He teaches us in our private devotions and the things He teaches us through the ministry of teachers, pastors, prophets and apostles that are in the Word and through anointed materials and resources that we come across that help to enlighten us by the light that those individuals have caught! 

– May we receive grace to work in obedience with such!

“We have no wine”, they said. Mary said to them “whatever He tells you to do, do it” and they did it without any pressure and they had sweeter wine than the one they bought with their money. That’s how amazing raw obedience can be. Obedience may be costly but the end result is priceless. Church Gist. You check Deuteronomy 28:1-13, you see the blessedness of obedience. The qualifier covenant there is obedience. Obedience! Obedience facilitating all those blessings that no effort can generate. No effort, no skill, no strength!

– It’s your turn!

Here was a blind man that came to Jesus and He said to him “go to the pool called Siloam.” He has never seen. He was born blind. “Won’t you ask the question, how do I get there?” You find out! What’s the difference between the water here and the water in Siloam? Be asking questions! Church Gist. Go to Siloam and wash. He went and washed and came back seeing. Raw obedience just terminated his life long frustration. John 9:1-8.

– May you receive grace to step into that! 

Now these individuals were frustrated fishermen, Jesus appeared to them. They didn’t know He was the One. “Children, do you have any meat?” They said none. “Cast your net on the right side.” Now the question is, what is the difference between the right side and the left side? Be asking! Your blessing is on the side, He asks you to cast your net. Church Gist. If you cast it on the left, you have nothing. Cast it at the back, you are in trouble. 2 Corinthians 11:3. Raw obedience can transform any destiny. Raw obedience to the Word can transform any destiny. 

So impact in the Kingdom is not a function of luck, skill or connection, impact in the Kingdom is a product of applied revelation. What do I call it? Applied revelation. Impact in the Kingdom is a product of applied revelation. Church Gist. God shows you what and then you apply yourself to it, you engage with it, you put it to work. Then you begin to impact the World around you. Daniel 11:32. 

So it is by the covenant of Scriptures that we do exploit. For those running around with cheap money, can I tell you something? Church Gist. Wealth gotten by vanity shall diminish. ‘For he that gathers by labour shall increase.’ His blessing makes rich and it adds no sorrow. You are at ease. 

– That’s the realm you are entering into!

– The realm of pressure free progress! 

-That’s your new realm!

The covenant highway may appear slow but it is ever sure. Is it not better to be slow and sure than to be fast and fall?

– No one shall be a fall-away here!

– We shall all make it to the end!

Every provision of redemption has conditions to meet for delivery. It is when we meet the condition that we call it a covenant. Amen! Now for instance in the school of wealth…Deuteronomy 8:18. So you want to step into that wealth provision, you better step into that covenant. Church Gist. You don’t step into that covenant, you will be wishing for life. I found it 42 years ago, I stepped into it and it’s working – always working, ever working.

– The days of begging to find what to eat, they are over in your life!

It’s just finding it and following it. It makes all the difference. Church Gist. I’m yet to consult or knock on anybody’s door (this Ministry is now 43 years) – “hello can you help?”

– In the name of Jesus, as you keep engaging the covenant of Scriptures, you will never get stranded!

I caught a covenant with Jesus on Matthew 6:33 back in 1976. The Lord showed me, it was so bright. “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things that others are dying to get shall be added to you.” Church Gist. I heard it from His mouth for the first time, ‘things that others are dying to get shall be added to you.’ There is no single thing of value in my life that I prayed for. I just committed myself to the terms of that covenant and He has never stopped adding them.

Impact is not a function of struggle. No! “They that believed have entered into rest.”

– It’s your turn to enter into rest!

“They that believed have entered into rest.” Now your excuse notwithstanding just believe what He says and prove that you do by obeying it. Praise God! You say “I believe.” Church Gist. Even the devil believes…he shivers. Obedience is the validation of your faith. What you don’t obey, you don’t believe. 

Now some 41 years ago, October 1st, 1983, I was with the Lord on a timeout and as I sat down under that tree, I heard Him say to me “my son, I’m committed to leading you, if you are committed to following me.”  Isaiah 48:17. Church Gist. When God wants to speak to you, He turns His Word to your personal address. He said “my son, I’m committed to leading you if you are committed to following me.” I said, “Lord,”I’m committed.” Okay. 

You can’t lead yourself into a world of impact. He has to lead you. He told Isaac “thou shall not go down to Egypt.” That was everybody’s traffic. Everybody was heading there. Church Gist. Genesis 26:1-2,6,12-14…In the place that He directed Him to…“Thou shall not go down to Egypt, dwell in the land that I showed thee.” Wait, keep doing what I tell you to do and a year came, it was a turnaround year. 

– May this year be your own turnaround year! 

Everybody is going around the World today. You jump from Malaysia to Johannesburg to China and you come back empty. Why? You didn’t let Him lead you. Not all that glitters is gold. Allow Jesus to lead you! Allow Him to lead. Don’t just invest in anything you see, ask Jesus. Church Gist. Ask Him to lead you so you don’t waste all of your resources, all of your energy of many years. Ask Him to lead you. It looks simple but how many are willing to? Ask Him to lead you!

There is no provision of Scriptures without conditions to meet. Psalm 23:1-6…so it’s not a promise, it’s a covenant. Church Gist. “Let me shepherd your life and goodness and mercy only will be following you.”

So, I’m saying to my son, ‘nobody ever outgrows divine direction.’ Let Him be the One leading you. He never leads awrong, He never leads backward. He always leads forward. Church Gist. It may first appear like you are going backward, it’s to scale the next height. Now listen to me, it’s to scale the next height. You can’t scale a high jump by standing by it. You go backward a bit and then you run and then you lift.

– You are going up!

It was as if God led Isaac backward. The opposition was stiff. He will dig a well,  they will fill it. Dig, they will fill it. Haba! Because God told him to be there, he stayed there

Can I have you say with me? “God never leads backward no matter how it may appear, He always leads forward. Church Gist. From this time I’m going forward following His leading for my life.” Give the Lord a big hand of praise! Thank you Jesus!

– It’s a brand new day for us!

So we don’t wait for impact, we engage with the covenant terms of Scriptures for impact. Church Gist. Don’t wait for it. Luke 12:49-50. Impact is always at a cost. The capital cost of impact is sacrifice. Not to make a name but to impact on lives, to be a blessing to people. 

Impact is not a function of chance, it’s a choice you make. Deuteronomy 28:1-2. The choice is yours, the choice is mine. Church Gist. It’s not a function of luck, it’s not a function of connection, it’s a function of quality covenant walk with God. Walk with me, he said to Abraham “and I will establish my covenant with you.” It’s a walk! 

So we understand that from the Manual, we gain access to all things made for life and godliness. How many things? All things. All things that make for life and  godliness. They are available to us in redemption and we gain access by revelation. 2 Peter 1:3…all things! Church Gist. So there’s nothing you and I will ever need that’s not covered in that Manual. All things! He said to Peter “go to the temple and speak to them, all the works of this life…Acts 5:20.

For example, the Manual states that godliness is profitable unto all things having the promise to the life which now is and the one which is to come. Church Gist. Godliness guarantees access to all things that make for life and godliness. All things! That is godly living. That is living in the fear of God. 1 Timothy 4:8, Romans 8:6.

Now please be careful. There is this fallacy that states “some are so heavenly minded, they are earthly useless.” It’s an aberration from hell. There is no spiritually minded man that will not be relevant to his world. There is none. Church Gist. You can’t be spiritually minded and not be impactful in life. We have the examples of Noah, we have Abraham, we have Isaac, we have Moses, we have Gideon, we have Nehemiah, Paul, Peter. The list is endless of men who walked by the fear of God that made generational impact in their lives.

– You are the next in line!

There are divine secrets in the Word (in this manual) that can launch any covenant child to realms above all nations of the World. But interestingly, every Kingdom secret is an open secret. Mark 4:11, Matthew 10:27. Church Gist. Every Kingdom secret is an open secret. Ephesians 3:8-9. Stop reading negative meanings to breakthroughs. They must have seen something you are yet to see. Endeavour to find out. The secrets of men are in their stories. Endeavour to find out what they may have seen that has opened up things to them the way it is. 

So there are no private revelations. “What I say to you, I say to all.” Every testimony that somebody’s else shares is a pointer to your heritage. Psalm 119:111. Church Gist. It’s a pointer to your heritage. God who did it for that…has it in stock for me if only I will line up.

– You will never be stranded again!

Don’t despise testimonies. Those who do never have them. Don’t read negative meanings to testimonies. Church Gist. Find out what the individual did. If you are interested, follow suit. 

– You will never be stranded anymore!

No private faith. Hebrews 6:12. There is nothing that God does with one that is not available to another if only we’ll line up with the same steps that those individuals must have found from the Word and have followed it. Church Gist. So, spirituality does not bring people down, it raises people up. Whatever is from above is above all. 

– These last days you’ll see the rise of giants in the Body of Christ, the way it has never happened in history. 

– May your place not be lost. 

Now, I can crack this joke before I finish. For example, how earthly useless are the following world-class universities? Oxford, it has an Anglican root. 928 years, the value is growing. Church Gist. Cambridge, 715 years, has Christian roots, has a spiritual background, that’s how ‘useless’ it can be. Now, Harvard, 388 years, it’s still causing waves. Now, all these institutions had a theological background. They were set up to equip ministers to be effective and now, see the impact in the World at the end of the day.

You must not be apologetic about your spiritual stand. It’s your way up. Most of the founding fathers of America were offsprings of Harvard, most of them. You find them in Tonnage, Yale University, 323 years, founded by the Connecticut Colony as strong ties with the conditional tradition. Church Gist. (The) University of Pennsylvania, founded by Benjamin Franklin and has its roots in (the) Anglican Church. Princeton (University) founded by New Life Presbyterian is 278 years. They are there. Spirituality is a plus any day any time. You can’t be walking with God and be a washout. Mind your walk with God.

– It’s a brand new day.

– I can tell you this, an awakening is coming to Nigeria!

– It has started already!

– The impact will be growing!

Young men, don’t run from your place of destiny. Proverbs 27:8. A displaced man is a frustrated man. Church Gist. Abundance of opportunities are for you in your place. So, find your place and abide there.

– No one will end his journey in regrets. 

– You will not end your journey in regrets. 

I have this story of South Korea. (In) 1945, South Korea had 12 million population, was among the poorest nations of the World and at that time had only 400 thousand Christians. Church Gist. Her per capita income was 50 dollars but by 1985, 40 years after, her population had grown to 48 million and now, the number of Christians by the awakenings that took place, 12 million. At this time, it jumped up. Per capita rose to 7,000 and South Korea became 13th industrialized nation of the World from the far behind. That is the effect of spiritual awakening.

– Nigeria is about to experience something new!

– Can I hear your loudest Amen?

– May your place in this move not be lost in the name of Jesus.

Every true spiritual awakening all through generations usually impacts positively on families, communities and nations. Not noise making, but life transforming awakening where God’s people come face to face with the realities of God and want to live a life that pleases Him. Church Gist. It always impacted on human communities all through history. So, the story of South Korea was an offshoot, an offspring of spiritual awakening.

– We’re going to have it repeated here.

From 1.6 percent of Christians to 25 percent changed the story of that nation completely. 

– You are a plus, not a minus.

– You are a blessing, not a burden.

– and in the name of Jesus, we are going to be together to see a brand new nation, with everybody making his input to make it happen.

– I see amazing employers of labour here.

– I see amazing number of employers of labour here.

So, spiritual awakening has always played a part in human civilization since the beginning of time.

Therefore, to all my colleagues, as I close, in ministry and particularly, all upcoming ministers here, I have the following admonition for you.

1: Beware of serving other gods. It will rob any believer of his place in space. We all have a place out there, above all nations. Church Gist. But following any other god can rob any one of it. Deuteronomy 28:14. It’s a condition to maintain the flow of those blessings. 

Now, when you talk of other gods people just think about idols. But let me show you something. Yes, idols are there, all kinds of creatures made by man and they called him their gods. Exodus 12:12. Church Gist. But beyond that, there is the god of gold. Exodus 32:31. Many are just worshipping gold. People have murdered others for money. Some have perhaps, murdered their children. Some maybe their mother, for money. That’s how much havoc the god of gold has done. 1 Timothy 6:10. Church Gist. The god of gold is holding human life by the throat. Leave it, obey God, His blessings will flow. Keep obeying God. Enjoy obeying God, the blessings will keep flowing. There is a law in the scriptures that will make gold look like dust. Amen? Job 22:21-25. There is a law that launches men to that realm of fortune. Mind that law and leave the rest to God. Mind that law. The anchor law is the law of giving. Mind it and mind it with delight and enjoy it. Church Gist. Try to put joy on the faces of people. You can’t say you love God without loving those around you. Those who love God love their brethren also. God is not a dubious (kalo kalo) man. God is a covenant keeping God. Just do what He says.

No matter who preaches what, some will never pay tithe till they die. Church Gist. Now, where will the windows of Heaven open? Beware of the god of gold, it destroys.  

Then there is the god of self worship. They call it pride. Self worship. Pride goes before destruction. We have seen it severally. Satan lost his place in Heaven to pride. Church Gist. We saw Nebuchadnezzar become an animal through pride. We saw Herod eaten up by worms on his throne. I call it self worship. Beware not to stop the flow of blessings and impact, beware.  These are cautions to take to sustain impact. 

2: Mind impact and not pleasure. Mind contribution and not possession. You want to sustain impact in ministry, mind impact, not pleasure. Mind contribution not possession. ‘If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not’. Jesus went about preaching and showing the glad tidings of the Kingdom and resources were flowing in, in response to the impact. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 9:11. It’s normal. It’s a flow organized by God. Not orchestrated by man, organized by God. Ministry can be very fulfilling. I heard God say to me ‘Don’t raise money, raise men’. I heard Him by myself ‘and there will be much flow into the Ministry than you ever imagined’. Let’s mind impact. Let’s mind contribution. ‘For a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses’. No one will remember you for what you have, it’s your cup of tea, but what you add. 

I’m speaking to everybody now in Church. Be addicted to value addition. Be there to add value. Church Gist. Be there to advance the Kingdom. Be there to add value to men and women around you.

3: Don’t seek fame, seek to retain the fire of the Holy Ghost. Church Gist. People will always gather to wherever the power is flowing. Seek it. Don’t see Him an applause, seek God’s commendation in the pursuit of your God given mission.

– We shall not only lead people to heaven, we shall be there ourselves.

– All ministers who are here, I said we shall be there!

4: Beware of comparison of one with another. Beware of comparison. Each one has his mission. You have your fingerprint, it’s different from another person. Church Gist. Let each one abide in his calling wherein he is called. 1 Corinthians 7:20,24. Abide in your calling. There is enough in it. Every calling in Christ is a high calling. Amen. Abide there. 

Grace can take a man up. It takes meekness to stay up. 

– May the Spirit of meekness come upon each one here.

So, to my son:

– The next 25 years will be great.

– There shall be no missteps. 

To the Church:

– The next 25 years will be great.

– There shall be change of story every year.

– and my prayer is that everyone in this great Mission will make it to Heaven at the end. 

– May the Word tonight reposition us to make the most of our remaining days on earth.

– May we all receive grace to remain spiritually minded in all areas of our lives in the name of Jesus.

– I pray that God’s grace upon this Commission will keep multiplying. 

– and may we receive grace to keep following Jesus all the days of our lives.

– Every minister present here, you are changing level. 

– Your ministry is changing level. 

– Your spiritual life is changing level in the name of Jesus. 

– Together we shall see a brand new Nigeria.

– Your part in the making of it will not be missing.

– Another man will not take your place in the name of Jesus.

– May each one here remain a part of this spiritual awakening and keep investing in advancing it in the name of Jesus Christ.

– and so shall it be!

– Brand new day for this Ministry.

– Brand new day for your life.

– Brand new day for your family.

– Brand new day for your children in the name of Jesus Christ.

– and so shall it be.

– Thank you Heavenly Father and blessed be your name. In Jesus precious name.

Abraham kept that walk for 100 years. God called him at 75. He remained in his place with God for 100 years. He went to Heaven at 175. Moses had his mandate at 80, stayed through till 120. Church Gist. Many have made it to the end.

 Paul made it to the end until he became Paul the Aged. He was pursuing after souls, he was living for God. 

– You will not falter!

For all ministry gifts who are here tonight, please, listen to me. Church Gist. King Asa brought a mighty revival to Judah, but after 20 years, he ghost(ed).

– You will not ghost. 

– Your ministry will not ghost.

King Uzziah followed the revelation that came through Zechariah for 52 years and afterward, he ghost(ed).

– You will make it to the end.

King Saul was God’s choice and God regretted after 40 years.

– You’ll make it to the end. 

– No one among us here will miss our place in eternity. 

– and may the impact ordained for us as ministers, beginning from my son here and his wife, shall be fully delivered. 

– The spiritual awakening in this country will keep changing levels. 

– and the name of Christ will keep being glorified. 

– Multitudes will be coming into the Kingdom in the name of Jesus.

– So shall it be.

– If anyone came into this service tonight with any sickness or disease, I command your instant healing. 

– I command your instant deliverance. 

– If anyone came in here confused, now I decree divine direction.

…2002, he was set to travel out and he came into that service and I spoke a word in the open. I never knew who he was, I never knew anything while teaching. He left that service and said ‘No, this is not the way to go’ and the fortune in which he walks in today is amazing. Church Gist. Allow His Word to direct your path. You’ll never miss the road following Jesus.

– You’ll never miss it. 

He would have lost his marriage to that trip because he couldn’t get visa for his wife but he was going anyway, but Jesus rescued him. He lives in fortune today and that’s you!

– You’ll never, never miss your steps. 

Now:

– I proclaim Heaven’s blessings on this Platform.

– The Word of life will keep flowing from here.

– No unsaved soul will come in here and remain unsaved. 

– Every saved soul in this place shall be established in the name of Jesus.

– For all of us who are involved in advancing God’s Kingdom here, get ready for supernatural favour. 

– It will keep attending to your way in the name of Jesus Christ.

– So shall it be.

Lift up your 2 hands and give God thanks!
