ONE OF MY SONS SHARED THE TESTIMONY OF HOW HIS WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO TWO CHILDREN WITHOUT ANY OVARIES BY FAITH.
DON’T LET ANY devil MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR FAITH IS TOO SMALL FOR GOD TO HANDLE YOUR CASE.
STOP CELEBRATING THE devil!
WHATEVER GOD CAN DO, YOUR FAITH CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE GOD’S INTERVENTION.
GOD HAS NO ACCESS TO OUR LIVES WITHOUT OUR FAITH.
THERE ARE LANGUAGES IN WHICH OUR BOOKS ARE PUBLISHED WITHOUT OUR INPUT AND YET THEY SEND US ROYALTIES.
I SAW A BOOK ONE TIME AND IT WAS MY NAME THAT COULD NOT BE WRITTEN IN THEIR LANGUAGE, THAT IS THE WAY I KNEW IT WAS MY BOOK.
OUR PUBLISHING MANDATE TURNED 41 YEARS ON THE 14TH OF FEBRUARY.
GOD SAID TO ME, “WHEN I FOUND YOU AS A FAITHFUL VENDOR, I MADE YOU AN AUTHOR.”
I WAS A VENDOR OF HAGIN’S BOOKS ON MY SHOULDERS IN A CARTON, GOING FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
BE FAITHFUL! GOD IS COUNTING.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on ENGAGING THE POWER OF FAITH FOR FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES 3 at Enough is Enough Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| 18th February 2024 || First Sunday Service ||
Enough is enough is heaven’s verdict for this service. It must answer in your life. It shall answer in your life. Very important to note that God has no access to our lives without our faith. God has no access to anyone’s life without his faith. Jesus marvelled at their unbelief, He couldn’t reach them. They were his people, they were his relations but their faith was out of place. He had no access to them. Without faith, it is impossible to secure God’s hand. It is impossible to secure God’s intervention. Even when you are prayed for, it takes your faith to receive what is being prayed for in your life. Church Gist. Not just the faith of the praying man, but the faith of the receiving end. The faith of the praying man will never be a substitute for the faith of the receiving end. Papa prayed for you doesn’t matter, Jesus prayed for them and they were not healed. He marvelled at their unbelief. Who is Papa? Papa of what? Wake up and take responsibility. It takes your faith for God to access your life. Take it or leave it. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Please be awake. We are leaving the era of pray for me, pray for me. God show me where I am missing it, that is the era we are in now. Without your faith and my faith, God cannot access our lives.
Prayers: Lord help me to take responsibility to keep my faith alive.
The just shall live by faith, be healed by faith, shall overcome by faith. There is nothing God will do in any man’s life without his faith. Whatever God can do, my faith can make it happen. Is there anything too hard for God? Unusual things will happen in your life. We were at our Church in Jahi, Abuja and a woman came to share her testimony. I said before the end of this month you are declared pregnant. She was in the service, she took it and the same month, it was already half the month, the 17th of the month, the same month she was confirmed pregnant after a verdict that she could not give birth. Church Gist. The child was standing by her in that service. Her faith made it happen. Don’t let any devil make you believe that your faith is too small for God to handle your case. If your faith is real Bible faith, as small as a mustard seed, it will deliver. Today is your day, every item on your enough is enough list shall be delivered as a testimony through your faith.
One of my sons in the ministry called to share the testimony, my wife was there and it was on speaker phone, in 1991 I passed my gown in an Impartation Service and the wife carried the gown along with others. She had no ovaries, she had both ovaries surgically removed. That is there is no way she could give birth. First one, second one, they are both graduates of Covenant University. She had some issues and visited a gynaecologist and the gynaecologist said “I am sure you don’t have children.” Church Gist. She said, “I have.” He said No! This is how pastors lie. “I said from what I see, there is no way you can have children.” She said, “I have two of them, one male and one female.” He said it was not possible. After thirty years, there are still no ovaries but there are babies. Whatever God can do, your faith can make it happen. Stop celebrating the devil. Take the shield of faith and quench all the fiery darts of the devil. He told me something, the doctor told him when they removed the ovaries, “Are you the brother?” He said, “No, she is my fiancée.” “I am advising you not to marry her. You will never have children in your life. The two ovaries have been removed.” He said because of the raw faith you teach us in Church, we said we were going ahead. It works but will only work by your faith. Don’t assume faith, have it. Have faith in God, don’t assume. Church Gist. Such as I have I give, have it. Own faith and see what wonders God will start doing in your life. God’s fortune agenda for you and your family shall be fully delivered this year. No matter how long you might have been on the other side, God is restoring it back to you. Today is your day.
Our subject in our Sunday Services is ENGAGING THE POWER OF FAITH FOR FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES. The Bible is the most valid prophetic resource bank. Isaiah 34:16. Every word of scripture is prophetic and it applies to whosoever believes. Whatever God speaks with His mouth, His hand has the capacity to deliver it. 1 Kings 8:15. There is no human hand that can fulfil divine agenda, only God’s hand. How do we secure His hand? By faith. Isaiah 53:1. You believe the report, His hand is stretched forth to deliver it. Faith is required to see God’s Word come to pass in our lives. Please stay awake. It is your year. May this opportunity not pass you by. God visited Jacob, he was asleep. When he woke up, “Hey! My God! This is no other but the house of God, the gate of heaven.” Church Gist. He woke up and he had missed it. The next time he said I will stay awake. So stay awake spiritually, it is your year. Work on your faith, it is the only way God can access your life. Hebrews 4:11. Let us labour in the Word to get the point of faith in building our faith so we can live the overcomer’s life we are looking for. It is a brand new day.
What are prophecies? Prophecies are the unveiling of God’s plan and purpose as it relates to us as individuals and to His people as a body. Scripturally, there are three main sources of prophecies: (1.) The Bible, which I mentioned earlier. It is described as the more sure word of prophecy. 2 Peter 1:19. Church Gist. The most reliable, every statement there is tested in fire seven times. Pure Word! The Bible also describes it as incorruptible, ever dependable. You take heed to it, your star rises. I see your star rising out of obscurity as you take heed to Biblical prophecies. 2 Peter 1:19-21. Isaiah 4:16.
Secondly, through personal encounters with God. God reveals His plans to us through our personal encounters with Him. As we saw in the case of Abraham. Genesis 12:1-3. It was a personal encounter. Isaac also had that. Genesis 26:2-3. Church Gist. He became the envy of the then world through personal encounters. God is still appearing to people today, He will appear to you this time. God appeared to Moses and delivered a mandate to him at the age of 80. Moses grew to become the greatest of all prophets in Israel.
Thirdly, through God sent prophets. Our God sent prophets. Luke 4:25-27. God sends prophets our way through whom we encounter divine plans as may be revealed to them from time to time. Amos 3:7. There is no devil in hell that can stop the rising of giants in this Church this year. Even the Red Sea could not stop Israel from crossing over, so no barrier will stop you from crossing over this year. Nothing flies like favour and we are in our year of fortune. So it is your time and your turn for a flight. You have been walking, you have been running, you have been driving, it is time to fly. Church Gist. God speaks to our moments through prophets. They have the understanding of the times and what Israel needs to do at specific times. 1 Chronicles 12:32. Those are prophets. Amos 3:7. As He does it, He wants us blessed along with His agenda. He could do that without us but He wants us blessed along with His agenda.
Can I mention this to you? Your obedience is not adding anything to God. My obedience is not adding anything to God, it is only adding to you. Nobody else. Deuteronomy 28:1. It is not God that will become greater. God cannot be greater than He is. If you know that your obedience is absolutely to your benefit, you won’t need encouragement. You will be eternally self encouraged. If you know that your compliance with the dictates of scriptures is to create a great future, you won’t look back. You will be on. I have never had a rethink. Church Gist. Tomorrow will make it 55 years since I met Jesus. I have never had one day rethink. You will be self-driven, self motivated if you know that whatever God says, He says to your advantage. What will God take advantage of me for? For what? Who am I? The breath in my nostrils, He gave it to me. The coins in my pocket, he gave them to me. Were you born with coins? The house you are living in that you built, He built it. Except the Lord builds they labour in vain that builds (Psalm 127:1). So what is your problem? There is nothing about you that God is eyeing. “If not for this my boy, where would I be now?” Can you imagine God talking like that? Our disobedience only places a cost on our lives. We pay for disobedience and we are blessed for obedience. It is a choice to make. Deuteronomy 30:19. Church Gist. If you check what He said in Deuteronomy 28:1-14, if you obey these are the blessings. If you choose the other side, 15-66 is your package. It is so interesting to just know that God is not looking for who to use, He is looking for who to bless.
Our publishing mandate turned 41 years on the 14 of February. Hear what God said to me, “When I found you as a faithful vendor, I made you an author.” I was a vendor of Hagin’s books on my shoulders in a carton, going from place to place, “You need these books. This one blessed me so much, this one will bless you too.” “When I found you as a faithful vendor, I made you an author.” This authorship is the cheapest in my life. There are languages where our books are published without our input and yet they send us royalties. We are all over China today. Malaysia. I saw a book one time and except my name that could not be written in their language, that is the way I knew it was my book. Without stress! Be faithful my friend! God is counting. “Church will multiply? That’s okay. That’s their problem.” I went after souls at 19 and I encountered destiny in return. Church Gist. “The light you brought to our village, let it shine around the world.” Is it not shining today? You can’t tell what happens when you line up with God. Just get on God’s side and watch the wonders that take place. ‘Sit down look’ type believers don’t make any meaning. Invite people, you won’t invite. Bring people, you don’t bring. Okay, what exactly are you looking for? Walk with me and watch what I will do with your life. That is what God said to Abraham and we are his seed. Walking in agreement with God is what secures a future. Someone’s life is breaking forth. No new convert will be stranded again because you are there.
Maybe today I can share this testimony. One year my family sponsored the entire membership transportation. We just jumped into a new realm of fortune. One whole year. I won’t tell you how many millions. We just jumped right into a flood of fortune. So to get five people to come to Church, should that be a problem? For someone who entertains guests with thousands of naira every day. That don’t say they need something. To send a little boy to school from your cell in a public primary school, you can’t see it. Fortune is not free, it is at a cost. Favour is intreated, it is not lavished. He said, “Even the rich among the people will intreat your favour (Psalm 45:12). God’s blessings only trail believer’s obedience. Church Gist. God’s blessings don’t answer to prayers, His blessings answer to obedience. Jesus never prayed over the wine, He just blessed their obedience and the water was turned into wine. That’s how powerful obedience is. He just blessed their obedience and water became wine. No one’s life will lack joy in the name of Jesus. That is what it takes to walk with God in realms of strength and from glory to glory. You shall not miss it.
How does faith facilitate fulfilment of prophecies?
1. It provokes the hand of God to fulfill His Word.
2. It taps into the power that makes it happen.
“Who touched me?” “We are all thronging you.” “No! Virtue left me. Somebody drew power from me” and then the woman with the issue of blood showed up and told Him the reason why she touched Him. The flow of blood ceased instantly. We secure the hand of God that has unlimited capacity to deliver His Word and we tap into His power for delivery. We tap into His power for a covering against the wicked by faith. Luke 10:19. We tap into virtue by faith. Faith men are never stranded, faith men are ever empowered. Faith empowers the believer more than prayer and fasting. The place of prayer and fasting is to open up into the depths of God without outbreak of light so faith can come alive. As for seeing God’s Word come to pass, there is no prayer or fasting that can make it happen. It is faith! James 5:16-17. It was the faith of Elijah that answered on Mount Carmel. He tapped into power, heavens opened up and fire came down. All said and done, faith is a must for anyone to see prophecies come to pass in their lives. It provokes the hand of God and it provokes the flow of virtue that secures delivery of that agenda.
Today is our Enough is Enough Service and it doubles as our Monthly Anointing Service, I like your faith to come alive and let it move you in the realm of violence of faith as we saw in Bartimaeus. He cried aloud, they said keep quiet and he cried yet louder. His blindness ended there. Every one of your unwanted issues of concern must end here today. They brought in a man, the Bible calls him a paralytic man. They brought him through the roof. Say “Violence!” Church Gist. Jesus saw their faith, what kind of faith? Violent faith. A man being let down from the roof. That man must have said today na today if I fall down from here in his presence he will get me up. They said there is no room. He said, is there a roof? Let your faith come alive and you find every satanic siege on your life destroyed finally. Isaiah 10:25-27
– Today, everything out against you, God’s anger will rise against them.
– Every gang-up of hell against your life, your family, your destiny, comes to an end today.
Not the yoke shall be damaged, the yoke shall be destroyed. The yoke of the wicked shall be destroyed in your life in the name of Jesus. Church Gist. So today must mark an end to every negative thing for which Christ has paid the price. This includes the siege of misfortune.
– Today, the siege of misfortune comes to an end in your life and in the life of your family.
Remember every child of God is born of favour. By grace, we are saved. Ephesians 2:8. Divine favour brought us into the Kingdom, so we have a divine favour root in Christ. We are born into a world of favour, misfortune is not our portion. We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The Bible says “He will surround the righteous about with favour as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12. We are born into a world of favour. The righteous here, drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:21 points to the redeemed of the Lord. That is you and I. Every child of God is ordained to enjoy the favour of God. Therefore today marks the end of the siege of misfortune in your life, in your family, in your business, in your career, in the name of Jesus. We have this responsibility. 1 John 3:7. So commit to righteous living. 1 Timothy 4:8. Acts 24:16. Church Gist. Exercising oneself unto righteousness keeps the heritage of favour flourishing in our lives. No one’s favour will be turned to misfortune in the name of Jesus. As we see the favour of God, we give the glory back to Him so He does not turn our blessings into curses. Malachi 2:1-3. That is from the heart you are saying, “Jesus! This is you.” You have done it again, the glory goes to you. The honour is yours. We saying that constantly maintains the flow of favour in our lives. No one will run out of favour anymore in the name of Jesus Christ.
Today watch out for it, the plague of unemployment ends now. 2 Thessalonians 3:10. That is the Holy Ghost speaking. That means God has provided gainful engagement for all His children. 1 Timothy 5:8. God provides for His children among which is gainful employment. Gainful engagement! It is the right of every child of God. He saw some folks standing idle and told them to go the vineyard and work. There is work in my agenda for every one of you. So for everyone on the line for miracle jobs and the devil has been resisting your access, today the yoke is destroyed. Church Gist. With your faith on the line before this month is over you are settled. You will be called forth where you least expect. I want to work. He said you want to work? Go and work. Simple! In the name of Jesus, light is breaking forth in your life right now.
Many on the line for miracle jobs shall become employers of labour. Just by an outbreak of light. You remember the testimony of that man that quitted a fraudulent business and God said to stop all of that nonsense and gave him a business idea where he was earning dollars. Gave him a business idea, not a job. What will occupy you gainfully and profitably, Jesus will show it to you. Many will be called in for very luxurious jobs. Others will have ideas from heaven that will turn their stories around overnight. Let everyone on the line for a miracle job say with me, “My case is settled.” Church Gist. Let every business person who is not getting business to do say with me, “My case is settled.” One of the things He said we should mind is that whatever your hand findeth to do, do it with all your might. So you have a finding hand. You get the finding from your system and your hand responses to it. No one shall be stranded here. No more downtime in your life. The siege is over.
Job 36:11. That is you. Everyone serving God is entitled to gainful employment. Gainful engagement, profitable living and that is your portion. Those who seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Church Gist. Psalm 34:10. The word seek there means to serve. Those who serve the Lord shall not want any good thing. Matthew 6:33. It is your turn. No one here shall be a burden to anyone around them.
3. Expect the siege of marital delays to be broken.
The curse of marital delay is broken. Psalm 68:6. There are chains holding people down from experiencing God’s family agenda. It shall come to pass in that day that the burden shall be taken off your shoulders and the yokes shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Proverbs 18:22. You are a child of favour, favour is your portion. Therefore marital settlement is your portion. Psalm 102:13-15. Church Gist. You can’t favour God’s agenda and lack favour. We have a die-hard army of God’s servants in this Church. Therefore, no one will miss the favour of marital settlement. Your marital settlement is settled finally today. The siege is over. My year has finally come.
4. Expect also the siege of business and career frustration is over today.
Come in today and get out tomorrow is over today. Waiting unending for promotion is over today. Struggling for survival is over today. Psalm 1:1-3. Whatsoever he doeth, shall prosper. That is your portion in Christ. To facilitate that, we have Psalm 35:27. You take pleasure in the things of the Kingdom, you secure favour on the works of your hand. Church Gist. People shout a lot all around town, just take genuine pleasure in the things of the Kingdom. You begin to enjoy His favour without stress. I see every business and career brought under heaven’s favour today. God’s favour will demarcate between you and others. The world will know that you are under God’s favour.
Please get this right, there is no provision of scriptures without conditions to meet for delivery. There is no provision of redemption without conditions to meet for delivery. There are many businessmen who are not tithers. Running around is not a substitute. Bring me all the tithe. Prove me now, not pray to me. Prove me with your obedience. Malachi 3:10. People should know how these things work. Even the man or woman herself doesn’t pay tithe and you are asking why are all these things happening. You should know why. Answer the question and watch how God decorates your life. I am not surprised about where God brought our Mission today. I knew when we stepped in there. I knew what He said to do and I knew when we committed to it. Church Gist. Your days of struggling in business are over. Many also are thankless. They see profit and they despise it. Is this my size? Because you won’t give glory to God, things begin to go down. “I expected…. see what I got.” Okay, go and get the remaining yourself. It is a brand new day. As the oil comes on you today, the siege is destroyed but your obedience to the Word will keep you flourishing. The siege is broken in all areas of your life.
5. Today, the siege of barrenness shall be broken.
Deuteronomy 7:14. He was speaking to the whole lineage of Abraham and that includes you and I. Today, every siege of barrenness brought about by the wickedness of the wicked is declared over. One of the covenant facilitators of this is “Thou shall serve the Lord thy God and He will bless your bread and your water. He will take sickness away from you. You shall not be barren or cast your young in the land. .” Exodus 23:25-26. Everybody serving the Lord is entitled to it. Today, your miracle children are released. Psalm 127:3. For everyone serving God in one capacity or another in this Church that is called barren, today I declare you fruitful. Church Gist. Like that woman’s testimony from Abuja, before the month is over your story has changed. That woman said I declared that on the 17th and before the month was over, she was tested positive for pregnancy. In the name of Jesus, every force holding you back from fruitfulness is destroyed today. If a woman without two ovaries delivered, doctors will argue forever. Can you argue with proofs? Only fools doubt proofs. God will make you another proof. Every verdict of science shall be nullified in your life.
6. The siege of hereditary disease that passes from one generation to another is destroyed in anyone’s life today.
Father high blood pressure, grandfather high blood pressure. Great grandfather, high blood pressure. That siege is broken today. The siege of untimely death that is ravaging any family, by this anointing today that siege is destroyed. For with long life will I satisfy you and show you my salvation. Everyone born again is entitled to long life. Exodus 23:26. Church Gist. It is your right. Therefore, as the Joseph or Josephine in your family, today marks the end of untimely death in your family. Brother died of cancer, cousin died of cancer, uncle died of cancer and it is just going. Today, it ends.
– Today it comes to an end.
– Every sickness and disease that may have come with anyone reading this, by this anointing, an end comes to it finally.
– Every storm in every family comes to an end today.
– The siege of storms in families is declared over today.
– Jesus is saying to every storm, “Peace be still.”
– Every storm in your business, peace be still. Every storm in your family members, peace be still in the name of Jesus. So shall it be.
Psalm 89:20-24.
– As this oil comes on your head, the affliction of the wicked is over.
– Generational curses are broken.
– By your rescue today, you are changing levels.
The siege is over. Enough is enough. You are free at last.
Give thanks to God for He has done it. Somebody’s job is coming in this week. Church Gist. Somebody is receiving an alert right now in the name of Jesus. Your story has finally changed. The siege is over.
Good News! Next Sunday, February 25th shall be our Covenant Day of Restoration. Whatever you may have lost in the course of the battles of life shall be gloriously restored. We have seen it here many times, we will see it here in your life. Whatever the enemy has forcefully taken off you, He will be forced to return back sevenfold. Church Gist. Somebody lost his job and got it back after 29 years, another one after 19 years. Only God restores years. Every of your lost years shall be restored. So get set for it. Work at getting more souls into the Kingdom as you come and expect to see the wonders of fearful favour in your life.
