LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THE CHURCH IS NOT A CHIEFTAINCY TITLE, IT IS A CALL TO SERVICE.
ALL THOSE HEAVY ENCOUNTERS WITH CHURCH GROWTH CAME WITHOUT BEEN ORDAINED.
IT IS NOT ABOUT ORDINATION, IT IS ABOUT COMMITMENT TO THE COURSE OF CHRIST.
THE ASSIGNMENT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE TITLE WE BEAR.
I PRAY THAT EACH ONE’S ORDINATION WILL BE A VALUE-ADDING OPPORTUNITY IN OUR STEWARDSHIP.
WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS FAITHFULNESS IS WHAT THE WORLD TODAY CALLS LOYALTY.
LOYALTY IS OUR WILLFUL SUBMISSION TO THE AUTHORITY AND THE INTEREST OF ANOTHER.
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN BUY LOYALTY. IT IS A CHOICE TO MAKE.
ORDINATION WILL NEVER BE EQUAL TO LOYALTY.
CHRIST COULD NOT SECURE THE LOYALTY OF JUDAS THOUGH HE GAVE HIM THE BAG.
WHILE LOYALTY IS INDEED A CHOICE, THIS CHOICE CAN ONLY BE SUSTAINED BY A GENUINE LOVE.
LOYALTY IS OF THE HEART AND ONLY GOD CAN APPRAISE THE REALITY OF IT.
REBELLION CAN BE CONTAGIOUS.
UNTIRING LOYALTY TO GOD AND THE INTEREST OF HIS KINGDOM IS THE COVENANT HIGHWAY TO OUR ROYALTY AND ENTHRONEMENT IN LIFE.
SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP HAS BROUGHT THIS CHURCH TO THIS LEVEL TODAY BY GRACE.
WE HAVE NOT RELENTED IN PURSUING HIS ASSIGNMENT AND WE ARE DOING THAT WITH UTMOST DELIGHT.
OPERATING AS COMMANDED HAS BEEN OUR MODUS OPERANDI SINCE INCEPTION.
ONE CANNOT BE LOYAL AND NOT KNOW.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO GET ON BOARD, IT IS IMPORTANT TO STAY ON BOARD.
THE PAST DOES NOT COUNT EXCEPT YOU ARE CURRENT.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT CURRENT, THE PAST IS WIPED OFF.
OUR LOYALTY WILL CONTINUE TO BE TESTED TILL THE END OF TIME.
EVERY REVERSAL OF GOD’S BLESSING IS AS CAUSED BY MAN.
NOTHING WILL DIE THAT IS GENUINELY IN PURSUIT OF GOD.
THE TITLES WE WEAR HAS NO VALUE, IT IS THE VALUE WE ADD THAT MATTERS.
ANY CELL LEADER THAT PREPARES FOR A CELL MEETING AS PREPARING FOR A CHURCH SERVICE WILL SOON BECOME A PASTOR.
YOU CAN’T BE GENUINELY CONNECTED TO ANY GRACE WITHOUT PARTAKING OF IT.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN PART OF BREAKING ANY MINISTRY IN MY LIFE.
I JEALOUSLY GUARD AND DEFEND EVERY WORK OF CHRIST AROUND, DENOMINATION NOTWITHSTANDING.
NO CROOKED MAN HAS A FUTURE IN THE KINGDOM.
NOTHING DEFINES LOYALTY LIKE INTEGRITY.
EVERYBODY NEED A TESTIMONY OF THE CONSCIENCE.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on “ENGAGING THE POWER OF LOYALTY IN STEWARDSHIP” at the Leadership Empowerment Summit || May 2023 Edition || Canaanland
LORD Jesus again, we are here speak to us and the Spirit entered into me when He spake unto me, let Your Spirit empower each one this time as Your Word goes forth, so let it be in Jesus precious name. Church Gist. Give the LORD a big hand of praise and please you may be comfortably seated.
This is a very unique month in this commission, clearly a month of notable divine encounters and so expect to experience notable encounters this month. You will recall that the mandate was delivered May 2nd, 1981, Mission to Africa was delivered May 4, 1984, the WOFBI mandate was May 1983, just May, May, May. This month, the God of this Comission will visit you. This month, the God of this commission will visit you and then Wonder Double came and turned the fortune of this commission, May 2nd, 2015. Awesome God!
We just had a global ordination of leaders in this Church [Deacons, Deaconesses, Elders] in their several thousands and so what we are doing this morning is to speak life to everyone that has had the opportunity of coming into some leadership role or the other in this commission and in Jesus’ name, this Word will impart on everyone of us in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ! Church Gist. I have captioned this session “ENGAGING THE POWER OF LOYALTY IN STEWARDSHIP”
Leadership position in the Church is not a chieftaincy title, it is a call to service. Jesus said “I am in your midst as one that serves.” It is not being lords over God’s heritage, it is serving God’s interest by serving His people. Church Gist. One of my mentors asked me several years ago, 1986, he said “have you been ordained?” I said “as what?” That was 1986! I have been doing what God called me to do since 1981. Have you been ordained? I said “as what?” He said “when one is called to ministry, he has to be ordained.” I said “I don’t know. I am not aware.” All those heavy encounters with Church growth mandate and all that came without been ordained. The Church began to gallop and grow without any official ordination. So, it is not about ordination, it is about commitment to the course of Christ, commitment to the course of Christ, that’s what gives real value to ordination, real value! That’s what gives real value to ordination. I remembered Bishop Benson Idahosa said “I forced him to take the office of a Bishop.” I forced him, I didn’t need it. The assignment is much more important than the title we bear. Church Gist. Let’s major in the major and not begin to major in the minor. There are a number of Church title carriers, big- big titles: Apostles, you know, Bishops, Archbishops, Pope’s, it hasn’t added value to anyone. My prayer is that no one’s ordination will become a humiliation. I pray that each one’s ordination will be a value-adding opportunity in our stewardship.
Engaging the Power of Loyalty in Stewardship. Proverbs 20:6. Loyalty is the same word the Bible defines as faithfulness and the Bible says it is a fundamental requirement for fruitful stewardship – it is required of stewards that a man be find faithful. Hebrews 3:1-2. What the Bible calls faithfulness is what the world today calls loyalty. Loyalty to the One that appointed him. Loyalty to the course for which he was appointed. Church Gist. Proverbs 28:20. I want to consider loyalty as the willful submission of one both to the authority and the interest of another. Willful submission not coerce submission, willful submission of an individual both to the authority and the interest of another. Matthew 24:44-47. Give them their food in their season, yes sir! Till I come, yes sir! Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing, verily I say unto you he will make lord over all his house. Loyalty is our willful submission to the authority and the interest of another. It is not a gift or a calling, it is a choice that individuals have to make. No one can choose to be loyal on behalf of another.
Nothing in this world can buy loyalty sir. Ordination will never be equal to loyalty. It is a choice to make. It is a choice to make. Nothing in this world can buy loyalty. Now, watch, satan a most endowed angelic creature still rebelled against God. Isaiah 14:12-15. Now, if you look at Ezekiel 28:17-18, you will find out where it happened and what came on him. His beauty confused him, his endowments derailed him, he was lifted above all the angels yet that was not equal to loyalty.
Abraham could not buy the loyalty of Lot even though following Abraham made him. It was in his power to stop the strife, he was Abraham’s errand boy but that couldn’t. Church Gist. We have these men of renown in the camp, Dathan, Korah and Abiram, they were men of renown, they were highly placed people, they are among the elders of the people but that couldn’t secure their loyalty to Moses. Numbers 16:1-3. Church Gist. Christ could not secure the loyalty of Judas though He gave Him the bag.
Nothing in the world can buy loyalty, it is a choice to make. It’s a choice to make, no one can make the choice for another. John 13:11-12. He had the bag, yet he went and sold his Master, he sold his Master. Jesus knew he was a thief, he still kept him there yet he sold Him. Matthew 26:41-52. Nothing in the world can buy loyalty, it is a choice that individuals have to make. The sons of Samuel were not walking in His ways even though He placed them as governors. Position can’t buy loyalty, positions can’t buy loyalty, it’s a choice to make. 1 Samuel 8:18. Church Gist. The priestly office of Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli could not secure their loyalty. They brought down the priesthood of Eli’s lineage forever. 1 Samuel 2:28-30.
While Loyalty is indeed a choice, this choice can only be sustained by a genuine love, genuine love. Song of Solomon 8:6-7. It is as strong as death. So, our choice for loyalty to God and the interest of His Kingdom can only be sustained our genuine love for Him not anything else. Paul sustained his loyalty to Christ to the end, how? Romans 8:35-38, that was the secret behind his sustainable loyalty to Christ to the end and he said “by the help of God I continued till this day.” I continued by the help of God. So, we need His help to sustain our loyalty to Him. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. We need His help to finish our course. We shall all finish well!
The opposite of loyalty is rebellion and rebellion can be most costly. 1 Samuel 15:22-23. It can displace anybody at anytime. Church Gist. Rebellion! Costly! Exodus 22:18. So, it sniffs live out of them, don’t toil with it. We have the examples of lucifer like we read earlier, Lot- we saw what became of him, Mariam became leprous, Dathan, Korah and Abiram burnt with fire, the earth opened up and swallowed them up, Ahithophel hung himself, Judas hung himself, it doesn’t pay. But loyalty is of the heart and only God can appraise the reality of it. Jeremiah 17:9-10.
Also, rebellion can be most contagious. We saw these three men, Dathan, Korah and Abiram, they took men. We saw the time of Absalom, he also took men. It took men, it can be most contagious, that’s why if we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the spirit. God does not deal with us as teams or groups, He deals with His people as individuals. Let’s be conscious of our stand with God and not allow any careless individual dissuade us from the pursuit of God because we will be the one to bear the cost. They took men and they were successful in taking about 250 men, 250 men! They led them to their destruction. We saw Absalom took 200 men who didn’t know where they were going, they went in their simplicity, they didn’t know where they were going until they were destroyed. Church Gist. Rebellion can be contagious. You find in your district, perhaps your cell, somebody is talking behind somebody – that cell leader is a useless man, so why are you going there? All kinds of things, it begins like that. Caution, caution, caution! Ephesians 6:6-7. Sir, some people must have left this ministry thinking it will fall and they are surprised to see it rising and rising, there was no good will when they were here. They were waiting for the day it will collapse and they find it growing and growing so they become bitter and bitter day in, day out. Caution, caution! Not with eyeservice as men pleasers but servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. You know why they ordained me as a Deacon, so I won’t leave the Church. Church Gist. Well, I am not going to go to Empowerment Summit for any reason, no no no, Sunday is enough. When did you get there?
Beware of rebellion! It is destructive sir. You are free to tender your certificate, I am not doing again and just walk in dignity and live your life. This is why many people in Church are not experiencing God because they are off the covenant track. But untiring loyalty to God and the interest of His Kingdom is the covenant highway to our royalty and enthronement in life. Occupy till I come and when He came “welldone thou good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over very few things, now have thou authority over ten cities.” Sustainable, untiring, delightsome loyalty to God is the highway to our enthronement as believers. Somebody’s story is changing, if that’s you let me hear your loudest Amen. Luke 19:13/17-19. We have the example of Abraham. Genesis 12-24. How he kept following God unperturbed, serving God, prompt obedience – for whosoever ye yield yourself to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, he kept obeying God promptly, delightsomely, excitedly and he was old and stricken in age and God has blessed him in all things, in all things, he was Abraham blessed of God in heaven and on earth. Church Gist. Joseph, inspite of his challenges stood with God “how can I do this wicked thing and sin against God? I am on God’s side, what I am facing now not withstanding.” He remained on God’s side from slavery to imprisonment, imprisonment to enthronement. He remained! Untiring loyalty to God secures the enthronement of believers and Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s rich food. God brought him into favour because the righteous will be compassed about with favour as with a shield and God enthroned him in the land of his captivity. They could not find anything amiss in his life for he was a faithful man. He was a faithful man – Daniel 6:4. He was preferred above all other presidents. Untiring loyalty to God is the highway to our enthronement as believers. The three Hebrew boys would rather die than bow to a graven image. Death had no meaning to them and they came out of the fire to reign. David was unperturbed, as soon as they anointed him, over, he went back to the forest to stay with the sheep, went back to the forest, the king has gone back to the forest and then the king now sent for him, pleading “let your son come and stay with me for he has found favour in my sight.” When you are committed to untiring loyalty to God and to the interest of His Kingdom, He will always visit you with favour. Church Gist. The goodnews is, this year will be a year with a difference for every single one of us, every single one of us!
Now, people will say that Peter denied Jesus but where were the others? He was the only one that remained, he waited to see the end, he stood there till the end. When Jesus appeared to him that oh you denied Me? He wept bitterly. He was on Jesus’ side through out and see how he stood as a rock on the day of Pentecost. Sustainable stewardship has brought this Church to this level today by grace. We have not relented in pursuing His assignment and we are doing that with utmost delight, there is no coercion, there is no pressurisation, God just supplies the grace. May you receive that grace as a person today! Sir, there is no year without something outstanding added to this Church. From this year onward, no year shall be empty in your own life again. Church Gist. Now, nothing has come down in this place in 42years, nothing will come down in your life anymore! Sustainable stewardship brought us here.
We have remained a Matthew 6:33-driven Commission since inception, God first! God only! God always and we have not been disappointed. We have remained committed to driving the revealed terms of Church growth since 1984 till date, 39 years! The gates of hell are out there, engage with prayer and fasting to keep shattering the blindfolding powers of hell. Go out there and tell them “Come and see.” All that He dictated in March 1984, we are pursuing till now with utmost delight. Grace to be steadfast in your stewardship, receive it now! Receive it now, receive it now! So, prayer and fasting is on, come and see endeavour is on, teaching life applicable word is on, keeping the word fresh is on, as dictated by Him.
Operating as commanded has been our modus operandi since inception. Whatever God says is final, no matter where we were at any time, God says it, it’s done! It been so beautiful, somebody said “how do you get things done so cheaply here?” We do nothing here except it’s commanded. It may appear crazy, it may appear stupid but when God commands it, we go for it. Can I hear your loudest Amen? Watch the beauty of the ARK project, we were fully set, it was fully announced, everything was in place, they have cleared the site, they have done the soil test, just set to start digging and I said “God what is going on?” He kept quiet. LORD, we are ready. He kept quiet. Then at a point, He said “speak no more to me on this matter till I speak to you if I need to and He kept quiet for three years. But when He spoke, He spoke and we are all so refreshed. We are all so relaxed, there is no tension, no pressure anywhere. From this on, your life will be pressure-free. Whosoever ye yield to obey, his servants ye are whom ye obey. It is therefore not enough to get on board with God, it’s important to stay on board. Church Gist. It is not enough to get on board, it’s important to stay on board. He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved. Ezekiel 18:24-25. So, it is not enough to get on board, it’s important to stay on board. The goodnews today is this, one cannot be loyal and not know. Examine yourself whether ye be in the faith or not. One cannot be loyal and not know. 2 Corinthians 13:5 and 1 Corinthians 2:11. So, only you and God, only me and God can access what is inside me. You can not be loyal and not know. Church Gist. One cannot be fake and not know and one cannot be genuine and not know. Isaiah 58:7. You know what it is!!! Whether you are a giver or you are not a giver, you should know, you don’t need a prophet to come and tell you. Whether you are a helper of the needy or you are not a helper of the needy you should know, they don’t need anybody to tell you that. Whether you are praying Kingdom advancement prayer or not, you should know, no body needs to tell you that. Isaiah 58:7. Everybody knows the state of his heart per time, therefore beware of looking back, having put your hand on the plough. Luke 9:32. Let’s stop recounting the past things we did, you must be current with God. The past does not count except you are current. The past only counts when you are current. When you are not current, the past is wiped off. It doesn’t exist. Church Gist. The following looked back and we saw how God turned His back on them:
1. Solomon looked back. He was God’s darling. It says “Solomon only has God chosen.” Who chose him? God chose him and he loved the LORD, what a wonderful takeoff and there is a time he loved so many strange women and God raised adversaries against him, his story ended. 20 years only, 20 years only! So, it is not enough to get on board, it’s important to stay on board.
2. King Asa also got in there, after 20 years he lost out. He led a mighty revival, the whole place was shaken, 2 Chronicles 15-16 and then suddenly he turned his back on God and God turned His back on him. Church Gist. No one here shall turn his back on God. Now, listen to me, listen, listen, listen please, this is why so many people have shared some outstanding testimonies and they have become outstanding trials. The same testimonies, the same testimonies of glory and beauty, they can’t even say it anymore, it does not exist anymore because they backed out, they backed out! You won’t back out! There is no testimony of this ministry that “Oh my God, last year was such a great time” Every year was greater than the previous. Therefore, from today every new year will be greater than the previous in your life by staying on, stay on, God knows you and you know you, you know you, there is no point anybody coming to tell you, you know you. There are some who are not here today now, they are not doing anything ooo, “you can’t tell me to come to a place, no no no, I mean tomorrow is Sunday, I mean I can’t come.” As if they begged him, uhhmmm, who are you pulling your shoulders to? Who?
3. Uzziah went wild, became big-headed. He ended up a leper, he ended up a leper, he was marvellously helped. He was enjoying the marvellous help of God. 2 Chronicles 26:3-5/14 and suddenly his heart was lifted up within himself. He couldn’t see any value in a priest, he looked down on the high priest and God looked down on him, he became leprous and lived in a leprosarium all the days of his life before he died. Church Gist. God won’t turn His back on you but don’t turn your back on God, don’t turn your back on God!!!
Please, note that our loyalty will continue to be tested till the end of time, our loyalty will continue to be tested till the end of time as in the case of Abraham. It came to pass after all these things, that God did test Abraham, ahh ahh, this test is too much from the age of 75? It came to pass after all these things, that God did test Abraham, this time he was 114 years old because Isaac was 14 years old. God did test Abraham at 114, he started that journey with God at 75 and now 25 + 14, 39, God still tested him. Church Gist. We must be aware that our loyalty will continue to be tested till the end of time as in the case of Abraham. God is not to be blamed when there is a reversal, we should ask ourselves questions. Every reversal of God’s blessing is as caused by us, every reversal of God’s blessing is as caused by man, every reversal, every reversal. There are men and women in this Church, great number of them who have never seen a reversal since they began to follow Jesus in this commission. The commission has never suffered a reversal till now. Church Gist. Your life will not know a reversal anymore because the paths of a just man is as a shining light ordained to shine more and more and more and more till the perfect day, that shall be our story as individual. My prayer therefore, is that the month of May shall be a month of new beginnings with proven loyalty to God and the interest of His Kingdom at our various levels, proven loyalty! One of our staff left here some years ago and when he came back, he said “if I knew this ministry would grow this way, I would not have left.” That means, while he was here he was thinking it would die. With goodwill doing service not as unto men but as unto God, nothing will die that is genuinely in pursuit of God and nothing will die in your life. Can I hear your loudest Amen? Nothing will die in your hand anymore! Nothing will die in your hand anymore! So, ask yourself question at all times “Am I still loyal? How am I responding to instruction? How am I responding to His corrections in my life? How am I responding to what He tells me to do from His Word directly without anybody preaching to me?” These are ways to keep ourselves on course. Therefore, let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall. Church Gist. The titles we wear has no value, it is the value we add that matters. Cut it down! Why encumbereth ye the ground, why is it not adding value? Cut it down! God hates to see us just occupying space for nothing. May no leader in this Church occupy space for nothing this year.
Watch, any cell leader that prepares for a cell meeting as preparing for a Church service, He will soon become a Pastor. God will call him and give him a territory sir, that you will be wondering how did he get there? And in no minute 10,000 people for being faithful in his dedication to five people, he grew it to ten, from ten to fifteen, fifteen to thirty, thirty to forty. He said “I have found someone I can use. I have found someone I can use “
Can I close this way, very humurously, you can’t be genuinely connected to any grace without partaking of it. You can’t be genuinely connected to any grace, without partaking of it. Church Gist. Psalms 133:1.-3. You can’t be connected to any proven grace, without being a partaker of it sir. When Kenneth Hagin was going to heaven, the LORD said to me here “Somebody as close to you as your cloth…” How many have heard me say that before? “… is about coming over.” Oh, I said “my biological father.” He said “No,Hagin.” God saw me as part of His garment. It is not fake sir, it is not fake! I am emitting the grace that on Hagin naturally without mimicking him. This grace is open and available but are you connected? Are you genuinely connected? Are you genuinely connected? I called my assistant and said “we have Rhema day this coming Sunday, tomorrow, please help me get how we can get something’s across.” He is gone to heaven long time. You better wake up, all these lascas Christianity, you won’t go far. Wake up! Am I a partaker of this grace, where is the proof? Beating your wife today, fighting her tomorrow, is that life, is that what you learnt here? Paying your tithe is a problem, so when will you come out of financial crisis? When will you come out?
May this grace find expression in your life as you choose to connect. Paul said in Philippians 1:7 “Ye are all partakers of my grace.” It is available to all as many as are interested, as many as are interested.” Church Gist. God said to me “Somebody as close to you as your cloth is about coming over.” As close to you as your cloth… I couldn’t even connect this scripture with it, as close to you as your cloth and I told my wife on the spot. I said “The eagle is about to soar, let’s run.” The eagle is about to go, let’s go. The eagle is about to go but you can’t sit down in a place and just be there. All these are available to you, all of them, all of them! Church Gist. It’s a brand new day for us! The goodnews is that this year will be a year with a difference in your life, this year will be a year with a difference in your life, your loyalty to God in secret and in the open shall remain solid. You never miss your place in God. Your crown another man will not take! May this opportunity we have to serve at this point, lead us to next levels in our lives, may this lead to next levels in our lives in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Father!
Lift up your hand everybody and give God thanks! Give God thanks everybody. Church Gist. My loyalty is for my royalty, my loyalty to God is for my enthronement, LORD engrace me to remain loyal to You and to the interest of Your Kingdom. Engrace me to remain loyal to You and to the interest of Your Kingdom. Let every of Your instruction matter to me, let my response be positive and delightsome in Jesus precious name, we have prayed.
Kenneth Hagin was sharing recently in one of his broadcasts on an experience his father had which he wrote
In a book, he was giving and giving but nothing was changing, nothing was changing and he said “LORD, you said if I am willing and obedient, I will eat the good of the land.” He said “You don’t qualify for it, you are only obedient, you are not willing.” You are only what? Obedient, you are not willing, you are doing it to solve a problem. You are not doing it willingly, so you don’t qualify to eat the good of the land. Church Gist. It struck me sir. It struck me! If you be willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land, it is not enough to just be going there to WSF meeting, are you willingly engaging? Are you genuinely committed? Does it matter to you what obtains in the life of those people who are coming in? Those are the things that count for our rewards, they are the things that count for our rewards. It is when you are going there that you are looking at the paper – thank You Jesus, Amen, Amen, Amen, Okay yes I know what to say now. No genuine commitment. No dedication, no connection, it doesn’t work but in the name of Jesus beginning from now, no one will hide from his own flesh anymore.
Whatever makes this work for others will make it work for you because God is no respecter of persons. Would you lift up your two hands to heaven everybody and receive fresh grace from heaven to remain an ever delightsome loyal steward in the vineyard of Christ, receive that right now! Grace, grace, grace, grace, thank You Father in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
One of us shared a testimony with me sometimes back, when he was transferred as a Pastor, you know our Church we move people here and there, Amen. When he was transferred, some members of the Church met him and said “don’t you think they have demoted you? Go and start your ministry, we support you.” They are members of the Church o, he said “Okay, when I am ready I will tell you.” They still called him a year after and they are leaders in Church. Church Gist. You think God didn’t see it? Don’t punish your life, He knows your thoughts afar. You can’t be scattering His work and say you are a steward in the house, no! You are a satan in the house, a satan in the house. What is your business? What’s your business? I have never been part of breaking any ministry in my life, I will never be part of it till I go to heaven. I jealously guard and defend every work of Christ around, denomination notwithstanding. That is why God is standing by us, it’s amazing! They ganged up in one of the nations and sent our missionaries away and a clerk in the office was ministering and the Church was growing. Oh, you can’t stop God sir. A clerk, he who never handled microphone in his life was the one ministering there and Church was growing. You can do nothing against the truth but for the truth. So,when you are not there, don’t be there na. Why are you there as an evil beast? Wake up! Tell yourself the truth. This thing is working for me. I am 54 years young in the faith, He has helped me till date. Church Gist. I preached my first message 53 years ago, I was part of seeing a Church started 50 years ago, praise God! So, it is not yesterday. You better wake up!
No crooked man has a future in the Kingdom! No crooked man, no crooked woman, so all this gang up in your team, gang up in your cell, gang up in your zone, it won’t help you. It’s undoing you without knowing. Church Gist. Nothing defines loyalty like integrity. Nothing defines what? Loyalty like integrity. Nothing defines loyalty like integrity, nothing! Since you have been pulling your shoulders, what has been added to you? Nothing! Let’s wake up, let’s come humble. God has a great plan for your life, don’t sell off, don’t sell off. Lift up your two hands, Jesus help me to remain straight,to remain true to You and to myself all the days of my life. Help me to remain true to you and to myself all the days of my life. Help me to be sincere in my walk with You.
PRAYERS.
Now, let’s read this together as we close, 2 Corinthians 1:12. Everybody need a testimony of the conscience which is described as simplicity and godly sincerity not craftiness not all kind of games. Glory to God!!! It is everybody’s turn for a change of story, my prayer is that no single steward here will be a victim of this move of God. Church Gist. This move of God will move your life forward, move your family forward, move the work of your hand forward, move your spiritual walk forward in the name of Jesus Christ! No one shall fail! Lift up those two hands and give glory to God.
