DESTINY IN THE KINGDOM IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN, WILL HAPPEN. THAT’S FATE.
DESTINY IS THAT WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN CONCERNING US WILL HAPPEN AS WE SEE IT AND BELIEVE IT
THE ONLY WAY TO REGISTER IN THE SCHOOL OF WISDOM IS TO EMBRACE THE FEAR OF GOD AS A LIFESTYLE.
IF YOU HAVE LOST ANYTHING, GOD IS THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE NOT LOST EVERYTHING
DIVINE WISDOM IS THE WISDOM OF SOLUTIONS, NOT WISDOM OF COMMUNICATION. IT IS THE WISDOM OF MIGHT WORKS, NOT MIGHTY WORDS
CARNALITY IS A DISQUALIFIER FOR ACCESS IN THE SCHOOL OF WISDOM
GOD’S WISDOM GIVES SHAPE TO THE SHAPELESS, COLOUR TO THE UGLY AND ADVANCEMENT TO THE STAGNATED
COVENANT UNIVERSITY IS AN INVENTION. IT WAS INVENTED TO PUT THINGS RIGHT AND IT SUCCEEDED.
WE ARE IN THE DAYS OF CREATION OF SOLUTIONS.
IF YOU DON’T COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, YOU DISCOUNT YOUR FUTURE.
DEPRE$$ION OPENS THE DOOR TO OPPRE$$ION.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on ENGAGING THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TOWARDS FULFILLMENT OF DESTINY (3A) at Supernatural Turnaround Service || 19th October 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service
Nobody has ever received help from God murmuring. 1 Corinthians 10:10. That means God turned His back on them and handed them over to the destroyer. The people complained and God heard it and it displeased God. His wrath was kindled (Numbers 11:1). Church Gist. So you don’t get help, you provoke wrath with complaint. I am satisfied with Jesus. I am satisfied. My faith in Him will never fail, I am satisfied with Jesus. You better settle down with Christ as your final bus stop, things will keep turning and turning in your favour.
One of the ways to know whether you are in His presence or not is whether your joy is constant. Constant joy. In His presence, there is fullness of joy. On His right hand, there are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11. Don’t joke with it. He that sits in Heaven shall laugh. You are made to sit together with Him in heavenly places, so laughter is your heritage. That is what God has purchased for you and I. So cheer up my friend. Church Gist. Someone asked me years ago, “Brother David, do you ever have any problems?” I said maybe it came and I didn’t know. When my wife was dying, I was having a nice time. Aren’t you a wicked man? No! I am a smart man. I know what it takes to get God to work. Thank Him. Even when you are on medication, thank God that medication is working. If it is not working, what can you do? Behind it all is God saying “I love you.” Be awake in your spirit.
The Holy Ghost is the oil of joy. Intoxicating order of joy. When He came down on the day of Pentecost, they said they were drunk. That’s intoxicating order of joy. Joy that those looking at you will think you are mad. In those days, we were living in the office apartment, I didn’t feel any discomfort and I never prayed for God to change our position. He didn’t need to change it, I am just enjoying myself. His presence filled that place. One toilet for the family and the Church. Church Gist. The toilet is facing the small dinning that was there. Come awake. May everything complaining in you end here today. I said many years ago by the Holy Spirit that if you have lost anything, God is the reason why you have not lost everything. Look away from the losses and look up to God, He will restore you and there shall be no more loss in your life because when God’s presence dominates your life, the devil will be kept at bay.
This morning we have two levels of things to embark on. 1. We are looking at part 3 of our teaching series, ENGAGING THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TOWARDS FULFILLMENT OF DESTINY.
Please note that destiny in the Kingdom is not about what will happen, will happen. That’s fate. Destiny is about what has been written concerning you and I will happen as we see it and believe it. Jesus found what was written of Him (Luke 4:17). John also found what was written of Him. It is about realising what is written of you. For instance, you and I have a glorious destiny in Christ. Not a ‘shame-ious’ destiny. Romans 8:29-30. We have a royal destiny in Christ, not a destiny of slavery and servitude. Church Gist. We have an enviable destiny in Christ. It is written of us. Galatians 4:28. Genesis 26:12-14. The Philistines envied Isaac. So you are to be envied, not to be pitied. So we have these levels or dimensions of destiny in Christ as written of us. Luke 1:45. When you believe what is written of you, you are on your way to realizing them. If you can see them and believe them, you are on your way there.
Many years ago, in the late 70s, we had this wave stirred among young people and one of the scriptures caught that time was that God will stir up jealousy by His acts among His people in these last days. So I saw me in that prophetic Word. That God will do things in my life that will stir up jealousy among the people in the world. I saw it. Church Gist. It is written of us, only those who see it will get there. I saw I have been redeemed as a king, so I began to engage with kingly behaviour. David, will a king go out like this? No! Go and change. Will a king say “I am going to kill you today”? Kings don’t fight in their villages. Imagine them saying that is the king fighting there. Kings don’t shout. You know why? I saw it. The Word of the Lord which Isaiah saw (Isaiah 2:1). We must go beyond hearing to seeing.
I can tell you till tomorrow that you shall not borrow. Until you see it you will be borrowing. Don’t mind Papa, sometimes Papa says some things that are not normal. I saw it myself, 4th October 1981 and I bought into it. The Bible said buy the truth (Proverbs 23:23). You can go window-shopping. All that reading and studying is window-shopping, when you buy it, it becomes yours. Buy the truth. Church Gist. Whether there is no royalty in your lineage, it doesn’t matter. You have been redeemed as kings and priests to reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10). That no one has reigned before in your family, doesn’t matter. You now belong to another family. A family of kings. That’s why they call Him King of kings. He is not King of peasants, He is King of kings.
– May your royal mentality come alive.
It is not possible by power nor by might but by His Spirit. Zechariah 4:6. Your golden destiny cannot be realized by the energy of the flesh. We need the help of the Holy Spirit. Church Gist. This morning we will look at two of these dimensions of His help. First, the Holy Spirit empowers believers with supernatural intelligence. Today will mark a new dawn in your life because you will never get stuck again.
We understand that at new birth, Christ came to dwell in us in all His fullness. Revelation 3:20. He is the wisdom and the power of God. He comes in to settle with us. So we carry within us as believers, the wisdom and the power of God. When I say in all His fullness. Jesus is the carrier of the seven Spirits of God which includes, the Spirit of power, the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of understanding, of counsel, of might, of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. There are seven of those listed in Isaiah 11:1-2. Four directly have to do with insight, depth – wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel and then the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. Church Gist. The only way to register in the school of wisdom is to embrace the fear of God as a lifestyle. So you can tell why many people can’t get in there. You have to pass JAMB to come to Covenant. There is no other way to go. School Cert is not enough, School Cert is new birth, JAMB is the fear of the Lord. You can’t enlist and enroll as a student without being there. Living anyhow is a disqualifier. Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself. Joseph said “but I fear God”. You can’t have access to that dimension of the Holy Spirit without embracing the fear of God as a lifestyle.
Stop doing evil and be pretending to be doing good. Stop changing books because you’re born again. There’s nothing of value that is free. Church Gist. Anything of value carries a cost. Carnality is a disqualifier for access in the school of wisdom. Proverbs 1:23. You know you’re leaving here a changed person.
See where the fear of God took Joseph. See where faithfulness – “they couldn’t find anything amiss in Daniel” – took Daniel. Church Gist. Don’t just go after the principles, go after the forces behind the principles that make it work. The fear of the Lord critical, absolutely so to operate in the school of divine wisdom.
You can tell how the man Samson was reduced to a piece of bread. Somebody said, “show me where your power is” and he first told her a lie and she band him and called the men who would kill him. Not that she was going to call them oh, they came and then he broke himself loose. Church Gist. First time fa. Second time, she said, “how can you say you love me and you’re not telling me your heart?” “Okay, I’ll tell you something else”. And they came again, nothing remains inside that man oh. Church Gist. That’s how lack of the fear of God erodes access to wisdom. It erodes the access, you know erosion? You can’t pass. Thank you Jesus.
Job 32:7-8(AMPC). So, the Holy Ghost here is being called the spirit of intelligence and what an apt description because fear of God, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, that’s how the wisdom of Christ was a Wow wisdom. Matthew 13:54. Church Gist. Divine wisdom is the wisdom of solutions, not wisdom of communication. Wisdom of might works, not mighty words. In the precious name, I Decree a fresh enduement of the spirit of wisdom upon everyone here.
2 Timothy 3:15-17. Luke 11:49. All Scriptures come through inspiration. 2 Peter 1:21. The Holy spirit stirs our access to that wisdom that is contained in His Word. 2 Timothy 3:15-16. 2 Peter 1:21. Church Gist. That’s the source of the inspiration. He just stirs that deposit in us by providing us access to the wisdom bank of Heaven – the Word of God.
We are in the last days, we are in the days of the manifold wisdom of God. Ephesians 3:8-11. Days of great innovation, creativity and invention in the Body of Christ. Proverbs 3:19. The world was without form and void, God came in and gave it shape and colour by the operation of His wisdom. Psalm 104:24. God’s wisdom creates solutions. Jeremiah 10:12. Church Gist. So, behind this awesome creation is God’s wisdom at work. It gives shape to the shapeless, colour to the ugly, advancement to the stagnated. It is the wisdom of solutions. You’ll never lack solutions again!
They were to feed 5,000 men among women and children and the Word said, “Jesus Himself knew what He would do” and He put to work what He knew and then solution came. Church Gist. 5,000 men among women and children, they ate to the full and had leftovers from nothing. In the days of stress that the world is living in today, you and I need the wisdom of God to keep flourishing inspite of the hardship. They were flourishing in the desert where even if you had money, there’s nowhere to buy but the wisdom had the answer to where nothing else works. In the precious name of Jesus, you won’t know dry seasons in your life! If you read that Scripture from John 6:6-12, you’ll understand that they were in the desert. Church Gist. There was nothing, nowhere to buy even if you have money yet they were overfed by the wisdom of God. “Himself knew what He’d do”. This wisdom is knowing the right thing to do and doing it, the right way to go and going there, the right step to take and taking it. John 21:5-6. You won’t lack access to the right side again! James 1:5. Daniel 2:19. You have to ask before you can access. You ask, “Jesus, there must be a way out here, Lord, I look up to you for the way out” and you’re baptized in the Holy Ghost, you switch on to tongues. Church Gist. “There must be a way out here because you’re the way, the truth and the light”. When our last daughter’s life was piling away, “Jesus, there must be a way out” with a smile, not with a grin because you can’t access the path of life with a grin. “Oh God, you know I’m a man of God, I’m a minister”, which man? Can you win in a wrestling ring because you’re a man of God? You brace up, otherwise they pieces you. Church Gist. And He showed the way out and she came out. There’s always a way out. You don’t know nothing about tomorrow, you know so few about now, He knows tomorrow clearer than you know today. He knows the way out. You’ll never get stranded again! Proverbs 9:9. Some individuals know nothing about automechanic but when their car has problems, they now open the bonnet.. what do you want to do? He knows nothing, he doesn’t know anything that can open anything there. Church Gist. You’ll think he’s thinking, he doesn’t know anything oh. When we were growing up, you know young people, on Saturday morning, they all wear short nicker to go to their car. So, I asked them, “what do you do when you go there?” You just look at it, you check water, you put water. Praise God. I don’t open my boot or the engine because I don’t know what to do with it, there’s no point pretending. I’ll now say, “you take spanner, hit something” (Laughs). Church Gist. If your device has problem, look for those who will repair it, stop doing as if you know it. I know you can type, you can access information but you don’t know how to repair. So, go to the market, what do they call the place? Computer town and give them to help you do it, otherwise, you’ll spoil it finish. Church Gist. By the time you open it, you won’t know how to close it again. Praise the Lord. It’s a brand new day for you!
We are in the days of creation of solutions and you’re God’s agents of solutions.
-In the name of Jesus, the Spirit of Wisdom that located Joseph, located Daniel, will locate you in the name of Jesus.
We shall begin to see mighty works that have never been seen on the Earth as we allow the Spirit of Life to have His hold on our lives. Thank You Jesus! Now, it’s important for us to also know that, that Spirit made Daniel and His companions ten times better than their colleagues. Church Gist. Church Gist. Now, we saw that defined in Daniel 1:20. It repositions you, you excel above the others. They called that, the Spirit of Excellence. Daniel 6:3. Divine wisdom is defined as the Spirit of Excellence.
-So I decree, the evidence of excellence in all that you do from now on. So for all our sons and daughters in school, it’s a new day! By the encounter of today, your level will jump, your understanding opens up into a new realm in the name of Jesus.
Let me round up here by saying. Proverbs 8:12. Wisdom stirs witty inventions. You know wit? Unusual insight, it stirs witty inventions and so you find a farmer by name, Noah built an Ark that rescued a whole generation of humans. Witty inventions! You find Uzziah made engines because he was marvelously helped till he was strong and the Holy Spirit is our God-ordained helper. He is our dependable helper of our destiny. He was marvelously helped into realms of inventions. Now, please know, inventions here are not limited to, you know? Engine products, equipment products, it’s all about solutions that make life better for others. Daniel never invented an engine but he proffered a solution that averted holocaust. Church Gist. Amen! Now, you know how wild those kings can be? To destroy all the wise men, all! So what will remain? Foolish men. To destroy all the wise men because you asked a question they cannot answer, so who will now answer? Is it a foolish man who will now answer? Now, Joseph never invented a machine but solved the hunger problem of a nation for 7 years of drought. So we don’t only invent equipment, we invent solutions. And the days of manifold wisdom implies the days of manifold inventions. Let me say this: Covenant University is an invention, it wasn’t there before. It was invented to put things right and it succeeded. It’s an invention.
-That’s how you will be inventing solutions where you are. No one here shall be left behind. There’s a strong wave of divine wisdom across the Body of Christ. You’ll not be left out.
2. The Holy Spirit is the Oil of Joy and rejoicing.
Isaiah 61:3. Psalm 45:7. Oil of Gladness, Oil of Joy. Luke 10:21. Hebrews 12:2. That’s why they call it joy unspeakable. Joy that psychology cannot define its functionality. They cannot define it. 1 Peter 1:8. Joy that smiles under the heavy weight of crucifixion. “Today, you will live with Me in Paradise.” You don’t give good news groaning, that is on the Cross with two nails and on the leg. “Today, you’ll meet with me in Paradise.” Joy unspeakable. Church Gist. You lost your biro and till one week you can’t smile. “This biro.” “What’s happening?” “My biro!” I don’t know what happened, I entered my car, I thought I had my biro with me, I couldn’t find it.” So what is the matter?” “My biro.” On the Cross, He was smiling. Look! You better get this right. There are three sources of joy that should keep you as a bundle of joy all your life.
1. Salvation with the fruit of joy, the Holy Ghost that secures intoxicating joy and then the Word. Jeremiah 15:16. Church Gist. The Holy Ghost facilitated access to the Word and the Word stirred joy. So you’re not permitted to be depressed. No!
🎶 Count your blessings name them one by one… 🎶
Please, stop being a problem to yourself. You have enough things to count to stay joyful in your life. You have enough things to count. If you don’t know what to count, count your breath. Praise God! Amen. Bless the Lord oh my soul because I have a car? No! All that is within me bless His Holy Name. On what? Who forgives all my iniquities. Psalm 103:1-5. Oh, bless the Lord oh my soul, for the gift of life. I slept and awoke because He sustained me. Psalm 3:5. If you don’t count your blessings, you discount your future. Among others, joy is a booster of healing, health and wholeness. Proverbs 17:22. It is depression that opens the door to oppression. You can’t be oppressed until you are first depressed. Come out of it! You’re depressed, the destroyer says: “I’m here. I’m here to take care of the remaining.” That’s why depression culminates in some cases in suicide. The destroyer steps in! “You have opened the door to me and I’m available! I’m available right now.”
2. Joy is the mystery behind the strength of believers.
Nehemiah 8:10. Church Gist. Engage the joy of the Lord if you want your strength.
-Therefore by the Anointing of today, I curse every air of depression around everyone’s life. No one here will destroy his strength anymore.
3. Joy enhances access to the Word.
Isaiah 12:3. That was the lifestyle of Jesus. At that time, Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit. Luke 10:21. It was the way of life of Paul, the Apostle. Church Gist. Philippians 1:15-18. He was a man of unusual revelation. He calls it abundance of Revelation, because he was a man of abundance of joy.
– In the name of Jesus, nothing will block your way forward again.
You could see Paul as a man of unusual strength, you read all the things he went through. 2 Corinthians 11:23-28. A man of unusual strength. Church Gist. Please, value this spiritual virtue and I pray today that each one here be endued afresh with the oil of joy and the oil of gladness. It is so for you! Can I hear your loudest Amen?
Now, look at any issue of concern in your life and say, ‘No, no, I’ve got the key, you can’t bring me down, you can’t cast my head down, I can’t receive help by looking down, I receive help by looking up’ Psalm 121:1. When you’re down, this is how you’re looking (faces down), you’re looking away from help. Help can’t come down like that, look up! You want help? Look up. Church Gist. Look up with a smile. Light is sweet. It’s a beautiful thing for the eyes to see the sun, look up, ‘I thank you Jesus. I thank you Jesus that this matter is not my end. I thank you because help is coming down for me. I thank you, you’ll not allow my feet to slip. I thank you’ and then, help comes.
– You won’t miss your help anymore.
Paul and Silas, they prayed, they sang, the Holy Ghost came down —Singing— In the midnight of their ordeal, they sang, joy unspeakable, they sang, the prisoners were mocking them, they sang and God came through for them. He will come through for you! Thank you, Jesus.
Today is our Supernatural Turnaround Service. Turnaround begins with new birth, you were once darkness, now are ye light in Christ, walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8. Light is an eternal turnaround force in the world of darkness. Church Gist. We escape from the kingdom of darkness to light through the mystery of salvation. Hebrews 2:3. Escape from what? Colossians 1:13. So, there’s a change, a turnaround at salvation, that rescued us from the kingdom of darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
– Therefore, today marks the end of every form of weeping and gnashing of teeth behind closed doors in your life.
Because you have been delivered! New birth is your deliverance and my deliverance from the kingdom of darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Church Gist. You have been delivered. You need to know you have been delivered. You need to be conscious that you have been delivered.
– No more weeping and gnashing of teeth for you!
Proverbs 4:18. So, turnaround is our heritage as a lifestyle, turning and turning and turning. 2 Corinthians 3:18. ‘From glory to glory’ So, it’s a turning, after turning, after turning. You’ll never be stagnated again. Deuteronomy 2:3. Church Gist. You have gone round this mountain long enough, you are overdue for a turnaround. Today, I decree your long awaited turnaround here! Thank you Jesus. Can I have you say with, ‘I’m due for a turnaround. I’m here for my next level turnaround. Amen’
But if you truly desire a turnaround, engage the following keys:
1. Stay in love with God as a lifestyle. Romans 8:28. ‘All things’ including turnaround things, progress things, advancement things, promotion things, all things work together for good to them that love God. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 2:9. We are redeemed as turnaround individuals that the world will look at and say, ‘Wow! What’s going on here?’ That’s your life from now!
2. Be committed to walking in the light of the Word. Psalm 119:130. Isaiah 60:1,3,8,22. Be committed to walking in the light, you’ll never lack turnaround, it will be turning and turning and always in your favour. Church Gist. 1984, I was in Deuteronomy 28:1 in the month of April and the Lord said to me, ‘My son David, there’s a place for you on top if you are interested’ I said, ‘Yes Lord, I am’ He said, ‘Then whatever I tell you to do, do it’ Simple, walking in the light keeps changing your level from one realm to another.
– In the name of Jesus, that becomes your new approach.
John 1:5. It’s not the environment that determines your life, it’s the light in which you are walking. The environment, the climate does not determine your well being, it is the light in which you walk that determines it. Church Gist. Thank you Jesus. Because His Word works wherever the sun shines, prevailing circumstances notwithstanding, His Word works wherever the sun shines. I see things working for you in ways beyond your wildest imagination!
3. Be committed to engaging in the power of faith in the Word. What God says is real, but what you believe is what makes it a reality in your life. What God says is the truth, but what you and I believe is what makes it a reality in our lives. Luke 1:45. God said it, but until you believe it, it never becomes a reality. God said it, until I believe it, it never becomes a reality. Church Gist. Engage the power of faith in the Word as a lifestyle. You heard some things this morning for instance, that your going to Church does not guarantee access to His presence. How do I get there? Psalm 100:4. Then you’re ushered in. Now, if you won’t do anything about it, nothing will happen Sir. You’ll just be coming and be seeing your friends, you won’t see God. Amen. Be committed to walking in it.
When I saw Matthew 33 (in) 1976, I committed myself to make it a lifestyle. It won’t show until you believe it. There is nothing in that Word that will show in your life without you believing it. Your turnaround is a reality, but it is your faith that makes it a reality in your life. Romans 3:4. John 10:35. Whatever God says there cannot be broken, but what you believe is what makes it happen. Let your faith come alive. Don’t just be hearing, don’t just be seeing, commit to following and the proof of faith is action. Church Gist. James 2:18. ‘Abraham, get thee out of thy country’ and so he departed. ‘Bring your only son for a sacrifice’ He went ahead. Nothing authenticate our faith like our corresponding action, nothing. ‘Arise, get down to Lagos’ Same day. ‘This is the place’ Same day. ‘Can you get up to 100 acres? Go ahead’ Same day. The only authentic proof of faith is corresponding action. You can know about tithing and preach it so finely, it won’t deliver without you doing it, it won’t. You may know everything about developing spiritual capacity and you’re not developing it, you won’t develop by chance. Everything about this Word demands you and me to deliver.
– No one here will fail. Thank you, Jesus.
This is a seminar, please connect. Manuals are being unveiled, please connect.
4. Make serving God and the interest of His Kingdom your way of life. 2 Chronicles 15:3-7. We saw the vexation, the adversities on the people and then, we saw the turnaround as they entered into a Covenant to seek the Lord with all their hearts and with all of their desires. Church Gist. They entered into a Covenant, it was a conscious action, conscious step and God gave them what? rest roundabout. A massive turnaround came as they entered into a Covenant to make serving God their priority.
Matthew 6:33. So I signed that part and I gave it to my wife, we were in courtship then. I read it to her and made her to sign. I asked her if she is in tune with it to sign. That’s the actual marriage register, it’s not the other one. Church Gist. I have lived like that till date. I had no opportunity for honeymoon. This thing drives me like wine. What were you doing? Going from place to place doing what He told me to do. ‘You must be a fool’ – that’s why I’m full of blessings.
One day, I was traveling out of the Country and then we got there, they said that the flight was not executive. ‘Look for any flight that is going to where I’m going.’ International airport! They got to me, I said, I have to go with your flight. Church Gist. They have given me the ticket before they could say, okay, how do you pay? Blessing around me! ‘He can pay so give him the ticket.’
– Something is happening in your life!
– In the name of Jesus, you will remember today for good for many years to come!
No matter how much you know, until you commit to doing it, it will not happen. It will never happen. Church Gist. No matter how much you preach it, if you won’t do it, you won’t see it.
5. In everything, give thanks. That’s the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Hebrews 10:36. In everything, give thanks. You get to the shop on Monday and then you are just coming back from a Turnaround Service and nothing appears to be turning, “I thank you Jesus because your Word never fails.” Church Gist. In everything! Then (on) Tuesday, boom. You make sales that you couldn’t make in the last 10 months in one day because you gave thanks. They call it trial of faith. You don’t pass it, you don’t change class.
Abraham was strong in faith giving glory to God; the turnaround came. (It was) never heard before. A hundred year old man, 90 year old woman having a blessed son. Never so seen. Church Gist. No ovulation, nothing yet Isaac came.
– Your Isaac will come!
Just know the rule of the game. In everything, give thanks. If you see the way we were praising God under the batcher, Grass Cathedral in Kaduna, (you will say) “these are mad people. They are mad people. If you want to see mad people, go there. If you see them jumping, the dust is jumping and they are jumping. Church Gist. They can’t think, that’s the problem and you call this one World Outreach Center. They don’t understand grammar. This is batcher for God’s sake.” Now, we have Cathedrals around the World today. If you don’t want to stink, give thanks. If you don’t want to sell off your tomorrow, give thanks today; celebrate Him.
I have told the story severally before, one of my senior colleagues said, “Brother David, I learnt God has blessed you and you bought a car. I said, yeah. God gave me a very fantastic car. Did I hear it’s Volkswagen Beetle? I said yes. He did like this (God forbid). My Beetle was fantastic. If you know the trademark of Beetle, you can’t kill the Beetle. Fantastic Beetle. Fantastic in my eyes. Let God’s doing be fantastic in your eyes by giving Him thanks.
God gave you a house and you are still complaining inside that house. “Is this the kind of house I should be living in?” Go and collect another man’s own. Now, if you feel pain in your body, “I thank God that I can even feel pain. There are people who cannot feel pain. Church Gist. You put pin in their body, they don’t know you put anything. But you could feel pain, thank God for it, He will remove it. Thank you Jesus!
As they began to sing and to praise, God stepped in and stirred a turnaround. As they began to sing and to praise, He levelled out their enemies. Church Gist. So be committed to thanksgiving and praise as a lifestyle; you will never lose a battle again.
– You will never lose any battle again!
– Your turnaround is guaranteed in the name of Jesus!
Today is our Special Monthly Anointing Service. But what is in the Anointing Oil?
1. The Spirit of the Lord. 1 Samuel 16:13. The Spirit of the Lord and what it does is to destroy yokes. Isaiah 61:1-2.
– Every yoke on anyone’s life including your health, your family, your children, your marital destiny, your fruitfulness; whatever constitutes a yolk on the path of what belongs to you in Christ shall be destroyed today!
Isaiah 10:27. It’s your day!
Let’s look at these few lines about the mystery of the anointing oil that came upon Saul who became King of Israel. 1 Samuel 10:1-12. Among others;
1. It terminates servitude and enthrones believers. Church Gist. “As he was anointed, is it not because you have been anointed Captain over God’s own army?”
– The things sitting on you, they will come under your feet!
– By this anointing, everything harassing your life will come under your feet in the name of Jesus!
2. It facilitates supernatural restoration.
– If you have lost anything before now in the course of the battles of life, they shall be supernaturally restored! Church Gist. 1 Samuel 10:2.
– Whatever you have lost will be found!
– Whatever you may have lost will be found!
3. It facilitates a flourishing life. 1 Samuel 10:3…favour!
– This shall be to you the oil of favour!
