AS WE STEP INTO FORTUNE 2024, ONE OF THE COVENANT FACILITATORS OF YOUR DIMENSION OF FORTUNE IS COMMITMENT TO DOING GOOD.
DOING GOOD IS GOOD. THE GREAT SIDE OF IT IS THAT THOSE WHO DO GOOD NEVER LACK GOOD THINGS.
THE STRONGEST AVENUE OF IMPARTATION IS OUTBREAK OF LIGHT.
THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS A FAMILY NOT A FACTORY.
MY FAMILY HAS BEEN GIVING SCHOLARSHIPS SINCE 1992.
KINGDOM-CARE COVENANT IS A RESCUE FROM DEPRESSION, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND EVEN DEATH.
THE LIBERALITY DIMENSION OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT IS MISSING IN MOST PARTS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST TODAY.
CARE IS THE ANCHOR OF EVERY HEALTHY FAMILY.
BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO UNVEILS FORTUNE 2024 PROPHETIC LIFELINES:
2024 SHALL BE A YEAR OF NEXT LEVEL SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR EVERY WINNER.
IN 2024, THE SIEGE OF MISFORTUNE SHALL BE OVER.
2024 SHALL BE A YEAR OF UNENDING SHOUTS OF JOY AS WE CONTINUE TO FAVOUR HIS RIGHTEOUS COURSE.
2024 SHALL BE A YEAR OF SUPERNATURAL FLIGHT FOR EVERY WINNER.
IN 2024, DEATH SHALL BE SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY IN THIS COMMISSION GLOBALLY.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF KINGDOM-CARE COVENANT at LFC Annual Church Workers Summit 2024 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || 6th January 2024.
Amen! Hallelujah! People traditionally believe that impartation is by praying over people, laying hands on them. Yes! But the strongest avenue of impartation is outbreak of light. We’re in a contention with the powers of darkness. Nothing secures your place and my place like access to light. Church Gist. The brighter the Light sir, the farther away the voice of darkness. A word gave Abraham his space in destiny not anointing. Now, there’s a place for the anointing; I agree on that. But people just miss out of this major avenue of impartation of grace. You know? Grace and peace is multiplied by knowledge. So the more insight, the greater grace. Has somebody heard anything this morning?
-May the value of it become open to the World around you.
Christ was teaching not praying and the power of God began to heal the people. Luke 5:17. Matthew 8:8-13. Church Gist. The Wonders of Creation came through by the Word. ‘Let there be’! And there was.
-In the precious name of Jesus, may your own Word that will add more and more value to your life than you ever can imagine, come through this time! Church Gist. In the name of Jesus Christ.
ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF KINGDOM-CARE COVENANT. Anchor Scriptures: Galatians 6:10. Doing good was the way of life of all our covenant fathers. Jeremiah 6:16. Doing good is the way of life of our covenant fathers as I mentioned earlier in the Vision Sharing Session. Abraham was a doer of good, Isaac was a doer of good. Jacob, a doer of good. Church Gist. He said: ‘Go and buy food but give the following to the person there’, he didn’t know it was his son. Joseph, a doer of good, he could have killed his brethren but ‘no’. He wept in love over them and nourished them and their family in spite of the horror he went through for 13 years. Job said: ‘You know? I found my way into fortune by understanding the secret of Kingdom-Care’. That’s his story. Job 29:4-12. Doing good is good, even when good is done wrongly, it’s still good. You do good to those who hate you, it’s still good. Come on now!
-May the grace for doing good, willingly, delightsomely, enjoyably, cheerfully come upon every one of us today.
Our Saviour also went about doing good. Doing good, healing all of them that were oppressed of the devil. Oh! What do I mean? John 13:27-29. Acts 10:38. ‘What thou doest, do it quickly’. He told Judas and the people said: Well! That’s His way of faking, either to go and give something to the poor or go and buy something! To give to the poor or go and buy something! ‘No! I can’t let them go, they will faint on the way’. Doing good was the lifestyle of our Master and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Doing good! That also was the way of life of the Early Church, everybody’s need was supplied for by everybody that have what to give; to live. That was the way of Paul the Apostle, ‘I will rather spend and be spent for You, though the more I love You, the less I be loved’. Two matter! Parents ought to lay up for their children and not children for their parents. That was his lifestyle! Doing good is good oh. The great side of it is that those who do good never lack good things. Proverbs 28:27.
As we step into ‘Fortune 2024’, one of the covenant facilitators of your dimension of fortune is commitment to doing good.
Abraham took Lot, Lot had nothing and Lot also became great. Abraham helped him…and Lot said, “Okay, old man (you may die any moment) let our flocks separate from one another”. He (Abraham) said, “Take anything you want, I’ll take the remaining”. Church Gist. And Lot said, “I know you (and he took out the gray areas)…old man, go back to the desert”. He went and joined himself to sinners. He got caught up. Abraham armed himself and went to war in person to rescue his brother. You can’t pass before his (Abraham’s) house without, “Hey! Wait! Drink! Take some rest”.
The liberality dimension of the Abrahamic covenant is missing in most parts of the body of Christ today. Yet, it was one of the great pillars of healthy Church growth in the early days. The Church of Christ is a family, not a factory. Church Gist. (Can I have you say that with me?) We all know that care is the anchor of every healthy family. Ephesians 2:19. It’s a family, it’s not a factory, it’s not an industry. It’s a family. People should feel secure, safe and cared for in the family. Otherwise, it has become a factory, or an industry, or an incorporation.
We saw how the Church of the Gentiles was sending relief constantly to the Church in Jerusalem even in their own poverty. 2nd Corinthians 8:1-12. We must wake out of our slumber to become our brother’s keeper in truth and in deed…and not like Cain. Proverbs 11:24. Church Gist. We must keep in mind that whatever we do for the needy among the brethren, we do for Christ. Proverbs 19:17. Matthew 25:31-40. Everyone should be stirred up in the Spirit to make this year his or her own Kingdom-care year….and to expect pleasant surprises in return. You care for others, you have committed Him to care for you…And God’s care for you is far richer and greater than any care that you and I may show to the needy around us.
As God blesses us, we should be willing to distribute and ready to communicate so as to lay up treasures in Heaven against the time to come…so that we may lay on resources from eternal source. 1st Timothy 6:17-19. In the light of this, every member so engraced should look out for the needy among the brethren. Maybe one, or two, or a family and graciously add them to their budget under the Kingdom-care subhead. Church Gist. Today, we have challenged families that may not have even what to eat and cannot even afford to send their children to even primary school. Who can tell if anyone among us is thinking of going to the street for lack of where to lay his or her head? We are called to bear one another’s burden in the Kingdom. Galatians 6:2.
How will you invite someone to Church who may not even know what to eat upon return from service? While paying their way to Church or helping them get to Church in your vehicle solve their spiritual problem in the immediate but that may not solve their physical needs on the spot. Church Gist. If your brother comes to you in need and you pray over him, “Be warm and be filled with rice”. James 2:15-16. How dwellest the love of Christ in you? Therefore, if all engraced souls in our various local assemblies will share with the challenged ones who will emerge champions tomorrow. (They are challenged today o, but they will emerge champions tomorrow).
– They may be challenged today but they will emerge as champions tomorrow.
(If all engraced souls in our various local assemblies) will share with the challenged ones, we will have a most healthy Church family. Kingdom-care covenant is a rescue from depression, suicidal thoughts and even death. Church Gist. This is without prejudice to the required spiritual care such as helping members get across to Church, making available to them materials for their spiritual growth and checking on them to be sure they are doing well. This was the secret that kept the early Church growing both in season and out of season. It is without doubt a factor for an ever-growing healthy Church.
– May each one receive grace today.
Now, that’s where our Church began from. In those early days, I’d look around, someone is not smiling (because we were very few), he’s looking moody. They sing, he can’t sing. They clap, his hands are not touching one another…and I’ll tap the associate by my side, “Look at that man (number 3 to the third window there) get him for me after service”. There was not one I called that was not in desperate need. Church Gist…And I will dip my hand in my very rich pocket, bring out whatever is there, place in his hand and say, “From today, you’ll never need to look for what to eat”. They returned with testimonies again and again. Somebody had a need, we had income in Church 10 naira in that service. He had a 10 naira need, the Church gave the 10 naira to him. (That’s where we started from).
My family has been giving scholarships since 1992…and you know how much we were worth. Living your life to yourself is an imprisonment. Living for others to live is what creates a future. Church Gist. Add others to your life. Put smiles on the faces of others. Let the needs of others move you, your needs will move God.
I came across one of my sons and he said to me…I said ‘You have changed so much’. He said ‘Yes. I remember when you used to send me pocket money in school. Church Gist. You used to send so and so person to give me the money’. Doing good does not require keeping records. The rewards are the records. I can’t remember in my life. I can’t remember.
Now, as leaders, would you take the lead? Let someone be added to your budget this time. You say the money is not enough. What if you lose the job? Then it will be enough. ‘We are not making so much’. What if you don’t make anything or you are thrown out of business? Learn to share…and interestingly about the Covenant, you can start from where you are. Don’t try to pose, God knows your level, but start from where you are. Church Gist. But to eat all that you have is a risk. Giving to God is fundamental, it’s a priority but giving to others enlarges your coast. Giving to meet the needs of others enlarges your coast. Taking care of the sick keeps you healthy. Look around in your cell, someone is struggling for survival, be part of his life. A family has lost their place of business, see what you can do. Don’t tell them to do it, show them how to do it. Telling people the way to go is not leadership, showing people the way to go is leadership.
Our scholarship sum then would be about 2000, that’s all we had. We’ll distribute it to the people little by little. Little by little we distribute it to them but it is now in multi millions every year, captured in our personal budget. Church Gist. I’m not a signatory to any of your accounts, Church, home mission, foreign mission, university mission, kingdom heritage mission and I’ve been out of it for long. Start from where you are. Enough of living to yourself. Jesus came to give and see where He is today.
As we close in this Empowerment Summit, I take us through the 2024 Prophetic Lifelines. All we have done thus far is what to do to make the most of this Prophetic Agenda. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Church Gist. Whatever Agenda that does not tell you what to do is fake because it will not deliver. ‘Holy Peter, we heard your message, it’s fire from Heaven. But what shall we do? Your message is powerful, but what shall we do?’ You don’t know what to do, it doesn’t add any value. It has only added to your vocabulary and your diary and your archive. It has no value.
So, what is Heaven’s Agenda for you and I in the year 2024? What is God saying He has in store for you and I? Now let’s start. Can you put that on the screen?
Shall we together read that?
1: 2024 shall be a year of next level spiritual breakthrough for you (every winner).
– Your spiritual life will be a surprise to yourself.
– Your fear of God will change level.
– Your quest to please God will change level.
– Your affection for God and the interest of His Kingdom will be in new level.
2: In 2024 (the siege of misfortune shall be over in every winner’s life).
– That’s God’s agenda. Church Gist. Misfortune will not be named with anyone anymore.
3: 2024 shall be a year of Isaac order of enviable turnaround for every winner.
Isaac wasn’t waiting to see it happen. Isaac was investing towards his happening. ‘And Issac sowed in the land’. When everybody had given up that nothing would grow. Church Gist. Isaac sowed in the land and the Lord responded a 100 fold oreturnns. He went forth, he waxed strong, he became very strong, the Philistines envied him.
4: 2024 shall be a year of unending shouts of joy as we continue to favour His righteous course.
Psalm 35:27. We are qualified to shout when we favour His righteous course. Church Gist. Not shouting the empty shout of the World. Doing His bidding will always return with a shout of triumph.
– This year, the shout of triumph shall not cease in your habitation.
5: 2024 shall be a year of fearful favour for every winner as we continue to take pleasure in the matters of the Kingdom.
That verse has been flogged over again.
6: 2024 shall be a year of all round rest as every winner enters and sustains his place in the covenant of stewardship.
Can you see what to do to walk in it?
7: 2024 shall be a year of supernatural enlargement for every winner as we keep giving thanks and praise to God in and out of season.
It’s usually darkest before dawn. Don’t give your darkness room to continue. Church Gist. Sing your way out of the dungeon of darkness. Though the Fig tree may not blossom, at some point there may not be fruit in the vine, ‘I will rejoice and be glad in Him, I’ll lift up my voice to sing praise to the Lord’ —Singing— Isaiah 54:1.
8: Every winner shall be satisfied with favour after the order of Naphtali in 2024.
– Satisfying favour.
9: Every winner shall dip his/her foot in oil after the order of Asher in 2024.
10: 2024 shall be a year of supernatural flight for every winner (as we saw in David).
– This is your year of flight because nothing flies like favour. Church Gist. He can take a man from the prison, not ex-convict, current convict and make him a prime minister. What a flight.
– The year 2024 shall be your year of supernatural flight!
11: 2024 shall be a year of release for every winner that will mark the end of servitude and slavery in any form.
12: In 2024, there shall be a re-enactment of the explosive dimension of Church growth of 2015 in all our Churches worldwide in terms of speed of delivery.
– Every Assembly will experience a sabbath where almost the whole City will gather.
13: In 2024, there shall be a repeat of the wonder double cell replication of 2021 across our Churches globally at Heaven’s speed.
14: In 2024, this Commission shall be stepping into fearful realms of breakthrough as we continue to walk in the light of Scriptures.
15: Every local assembly in this Commission shall be minimum double in attendance of 2023 records on or before the end of the first half of 2024.
16: The WSF platform of every local assembly in this Commission shall be minimum double her current size both in attendance and number of cell locations in 2024.
17: The strange acts and the strange works of God shall be evident in both Faith Academy and Kingdom Heritage Network of Schools across board in 2024.
– We shall be hearing stranger order of news as God begins to decorate the lives of those children and those schools.
18: Both Covenant and Landmark Universities shall yet be scaling higher heights in 2024 that shall humble world-class universities by reason of Divine presence.
19: In 2024, the Word of fire shall be going forth from the altar of every local assembly in this Commission leading to massive conversion and transformation of worshippers. Church Gist. There shall be no ordinary service this year. There shall be no ordinary WSF fellowship this year. It shall be a year of fire from the altar.
20: All through 2024, the healing river shall continue from all our altars across the nations bringing about the healing of all manner of sickness and diseases among worshippers.
21: In 2024, death shall be swallowed up in victory in this commission globally.
22: In 2024, God shall be launching this commission to a new phase of ministry with increased Global Impact.
23: The peace of God that passes all knowledge shall be our experience both as a Church and as individuals in 2024.
– No shakings.
24: 2024 shall be a year of good news only for us, both as a commission and as individuals.
– Good news only! Good news ever!
– Now, stand to your feet.
All that we shall be hearing all through 2024 shall be congratulations every month of the year both as a Church and as individuals.
– Give the Lord the biggest hand of praise.
Luke 1:45.
– this shall be your most blessed year!
– many will experience fearful supernatural supplies!
– you’ll just discover that your food never finishes in the store.
– it shall be a year of Heavenly order of surprises.
As you take covenant responsibilities as outlined in those prophetic lifelines, God can never deny Himself. Commit His integrity with obedience of faith and go to rest. Church Gist. Endeavour to commit God’s integrity with your obedience of faith and you can take your rest.
– this shall be a trouble-free year forevery one of us!
– there shall be no weepings nor mournings in every family!
– God has finally come to turn your mourning into dancing!
– it shall be dance-full year for you, a songful year for you in the name of Jesus.
But know that your next level spiritual breakthrough is fundamental to experiencing the year. So, make God your focus. Church Gist. Make the interest of His Kingdom your interest. Be full of good will and good doings and then begin to swim in fortune.
– it’s your year!
– lift up your two hands and appropriate those prophetic words in your life as you receive grace to take covenant responsibility.
—Prayers and Praises
Lift up your two hands everyone and together give God thanks. As an individual, give God thanks for launching you into the realm of fortune in 2024. Church Gist. Give Him thanks for giving you grace to take a strong covenant position all through 2024 to the glory of God. In Jesus’ precious name we have prayed.
Will you help me congratulate 2-3 people around you, welcome to your realm of Fortune. Church Gist. 2024 is your year of Fortune. Congratulations.
– give the Lord a big hand of praise and get seated please.
– Again, for everyone that has honoured God with his presence, your life will never lack honour! May your obedience today endure with delight all through the year!
“I, the God of Wonder Double is visiting you and I will remain in your midst until you don’t want me again”. “You want me here? Keep doing what I tell you to do”. Certain things will never be outdated in life. Church Gist. Breathing will never be outdated. No new technology will outdate eating and drinking, no software for it. No software for going to toilet. In the same vein, wonder double growth will be a fallacy without committing to soul-winning. It will never be outdated. “Go to the highway and hedges and compel them to come that my house may be filled” – Luke 14:23. wonder double growth will be a fallacy without committing to soul-winning. Church Gist. “We want you here, we want you here”. “No, no, no, are you doing what will put me here?” Every worker must have a personal vision for the year. What are you adding as value? 52 weeks is on the way coming or is starting, what is your agenda in leading the growth and replication of your cell? Without a vision, there’s no future. Church Gist. Followup will never be outdated. “I want you to go and bring forth that your fruit should abide”; engage in what will make the fruit abide. Prayer will never be outdated in driving Church growth. It’s a principal driving factor, experience is not a substitute. When the Church stops praying, it will stop growing. When the Church stops going out, it’ll stop increasing. Church Gist. What is your plan to ensure that your members are in service? Psalm 84:7. God’s blessings trade believers’ obedience. I’m about to pray and once you know this, “how can I be a cell minister, the cell is 5 and still remain 5 after 6 months? No”.
– no one shall be reduce to a statue.
No, what is your soul-winning and soul-abiding vision for the year? I call it soul-winning and soul-weaning. You give birth and you wean the child before you say you’re going to work. Amen? Church Gist. Everything that creates a future begins with a vision. I carried a heart to build God Churches before I had a first bank account. And because it was genuine and it’s not meant to impress anybody, I didn’t have anything to impress anybody but it was inside my insight. So, it’s happening even today. I would like you to leave here today in a few minutes with a well-defined vision that will bring you under the canopy of that fortune package for the year. Church Gist. Psalm 102:13-14. So, define your pleasure terms in the matters of the Kingdom for the year. Enter into covenant with those pleasures with your heart and with the whole of your desire. Nobody will ask you to read it, it’s between you and God.
What is your next level spiritual growth that you desire? What areas of spiritual issues are confronting you now that you don’t want to see anymore? Your prayer infirmities, your Word laxity, careless talks, careless thoughts, careless steps. Church Gist. Define your spiritual breakthrough vision, “what areas am I expecting a renewal?” When it’s well spiritually, it is well with us everywhere-ly. So, tidy up your spiritual roots. Put a budget to your Kingdom care covenant. So, you can put these things to prayers during the 21 days prayer and fasting. Define them, don’t wait for operations in the Church. Church Gist. The Lord told me to drive personal engagements, so, define your own operation. Praise God! You’ll say, “Papa is coming again with another angle”, I’m not coming with anything. Design your own operation. I’ve been operating before I met you. I wasn’t contributing, I was doing crusades with a passion for souls. Church Gist. So, lay this thing out before the Lord as we step into this season of prayer and fasting so your personal prayer life can be boosted. You’ll pray to the point that you know that you have been heard.
– Many will carry the appearance of Angels visibly.
– God’s presence will cocoon many lives.
Put your Kingdom promotion budget together. “Jesus, this man said you should come and help him out”. They said, “how?” “Because he’s built us a synagogue”. Christ said, “I will come”. It always pours favour when you favour His agenda. Many people here will start building Churches in foreign nations. Church Gist. People will come to the office and say, “excuse me? Do we have Churches to build in Chad? Do we have in Niger Republic?” By reason of Heaven’s favour.
– stand to your feet.
I think we’ve had a good conclusion. Your personal vision is vital to your placement in Fortune 2024. Your personal repositioning to vital to your flourishing in this hour of uncertainties. Many will build Churches this year. Many will buy buses this year. Church Gist. Many will gladly carry believers and returnees on their backs this year by paying their way to Church. Many will have increased family size this year, “this family 50,000, that family 20,000” on your budget and you keep increasing. I used to send 5 naira home in those days, that was a lot. Amen? But you start somewhere and you start growing. Church Gist. The good news is no one will be the same. Before the half of this year, it will be clear that God has added favour to your name.
Now, wait, let every cell minister aim at the first half of the year to deliver their replication and spend the remaining part of the year nurturing their new born babies. By the end of the year, there shall be full capacity new cells duplicated. Proverbs 29:18. Church Gist. “Without vision is a people made naked”, so get clothes with the vision of the Lord in your life. So sweet. I’ve walked this journey some short 54 years now. It’s sweet. He never deceives, He never lies, He never plays on people and God is a playing God. What’s this all about Church growth? Church Gist. It’s about Kingdom advancement, Kingdom growth, Kingdom explosion.
– lift up your two hands
– May everyone’s heart borne vision for God and the interest of His Kingdom find full blown expression.
– nothing shall disconnect from God your eternal source.
– success will not disconnect you! Breakthrough will not disconnect you in the name of Jesus!
Everything about every man is grace. Paul said, “I am what I am by the grace of God”.
– So, partake today of the grace of undying passion that burns in my soul in the name of Jesus!
Someone here in 2015, they gave up. Some on breakthrough, breakthrough is what they made them to give up. Some on lack of breakthrough. You can’t confuse God. Consistency is the rule of the game.
– therefore receive grace for steadfastness and consistency in your pursuit of God!
The pursuit of God is what stabilizes destiny, not the pursuit of things. There’s always more of God to look for. For things you may have a target, “I have a car, then I have a house in the centre of the city or by the site, by the sea or by the river”. Church Gist. That might be your target, you have it and what next? “God, I think I’m tired. I’ve got what I’m looking for”.
– in the precious name of Jesus, nothing under the sun will disconnect you from your God.
– I decree the same hand of God upon me that has kept me bouncing like rollercoaster after God till this day come upon your life!
– grace to remain on God’s side in this hard time because God’s side is the flourishing side. Grace to remain on His side without looking back, receive it right now!
– from tomorrow Sunday, fire from every altar!
The Prophetic Word for January is “Who is in the Lord’s side?”. It’s fresh from Heaven coming forth from every altar. Who is from the Lord’s side? Let him come. What is God’s side worth? Church Gist. You’ll be hearing that. How to secure my place in it? You’ll be hearing that. What do I do with the outcome of it? You’ll be hearing that.
– in the precious name of Jesus, grace for you and your household to remain on God’s side forever, receive it right now!
– as the Lord lives, between now and the end of September, every Word spoken concerning this Church shall become a reality.
– Between now and the end of the first half of the year, every Word spoken concerning you shall become a testimony!
Just for time, we have quite about 3-5 clips but we will be communicating that through our various platforms for you to be current with God’s agenda for the hour for us in this commission.
– it shall be a year of laughter!
– lift up your two hands, give God thanks.
– may every Word declared over your life today be met with the obedience of faith for speedy delivery.
– may the grace backing this commission flow freely into everyone’s life!
– may your leadership position be revalidated this year!
– may you be listed among them that show the way to go and not just tell people the way to go.
– may each one of our lives be a living example for others to follow!
– that grace is released and deposited in Jesus’ name.
