WE ARE THE OFFSPRING OF THE ONLY WISE GOD AND WE SHARE IN HIS DNA OF WISDOM. GOD CANNOT GIVE BIRTH TO DUMMIES.
WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. BUT WE MUST STIR IT UP TO SEE RESULTS AND GET WISER BY THE DAY.
GOD IS ALWAYS SPEAKING AND HIS VOICE WILL ALWAYS CULMINATE IN TESTIMONIES.
DIVINE WISDOM IS AN ASSET OF INESTIMABLE VALUE.
THERE IS NO ACADEMIC DEGREE THAT DELIVERS LENGTH OF DAYS.
THERE IS NO ACADEMIC INSTITUTION, NO RESEARCH CENTER IN THE WORLD OFFERS LENGTH OF DAYS.
WE ARE POSITIONING OUR GRADUATES AT LANDMARK AND COVENANT TO BE RELEVANT TO THE WORLD
COVENANT AND LANDMARK UNIVERSITY ARE A WONDER TO THE WORLD
THE OUTBREAK OF WISDOM FROM ABOVE WILL HUMBLE THE PRIDE OF THE WORLD
WE HAVE BEEN AROUND THE NATURAL FOR SO LONG THAT WE HAVE LOST OUR SUPERNATURAL IDENTITY.
DON’T GO FOR THE PLEASURE OF S1N FOR A SEASON AND D£STROY YOURSELF FOR ETERNITY.
EVER WINNING WISDOM IS EVER LIVING IN THE FEAR OF GOD
- Bishop David Oyedepo on “ESPOUSING THE TREASURE OF DIVINE WISDOM” at SHILOH 2024 Day Two Encounter Night || EVER WINNING WISDOM || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || 11th December 2024 ||
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Shall we lift up our two hands to Heaven? God has something to say. Church Gist. God has reserved some light to impart, reach out to Heaven and connect with it.
If you will diligently hearken, not anyhow, not carelessly, not religiously. Deuteronomy 28:1. Access to His voice will always culminate in testimonies. The voice of the Lord is powerful, the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. Behind every statement of Scripture is the voice of God. “Lord, connect me tonight with your voice behind your Word, connect me tonight”. Church Gist. Now, wait a minute. If you will diligently hearken. You can’t access it any other way. You have to be fully set for you to access it. You have to come up hither and I’ll show you the things that will grow tomorrow. You have to come out of the flesh into the realm of the Spirit. “I was in the Spirit and I heard”. Lord, help me to connect with your voice behind your Word. He’s always speaking and His voice will always culminate in testimonies.
Most testimonies we hear today, they’re people that caught the voice of God behind His Word. They call it Rhema. “Lord, grant me access to the Rhema of your Word tonight. I’m not just here to take notes. I want an encounter”. Go ahead and pray. Church Gist. Connect me with the Rhema of your Word tonight. Grant me access to your voice behind your Word. Let your voice sound in my direction tonight. Let the voice behind your Word sound in my direction tonight and let that rewrite my story altogether.
Now, lift up your two hands;
- I decree the opening of everyone’s spiritual ears tonight. It is declared open!
- He will appear to you by His voice behind His Word tonight.
- That will change everyone’s story forever in the name of Jesus.
- Thank you, Father. In Jesus name.
We are all here to get wiser. At new birth, we have the redemptive endowment of wisdom according to Jesus. Matthew 11:19. Wisdom is the heritage of her children, because light begets light. The God only wise can’t give birth to dummies. Church Gist. He’s wiser than the wisest, greater than the greatest, Most High, not highest. The God only wise. Jude 1:25. In His class and we are His offspring, so we share His DNA of wisdom. So, we have that deposit in us.
In our 7-fold Redemptive Package, we have power, riches, wisdom. So, it’s in us. But we’re to stir it up and as we do, we get wiser by the day. Stir up the gift of God which is in thee. 2 Timothy 1:6,7. Interestingly, we share same mind with Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:16. The World should mind us because we have the mind of Christ, it’s one of the mysteries of redemption. Church Gist. Every believer has the mind of Christ, but whether it’s stirred or not is what determines the outcome. So, we’re here to get wiser through the stirring of what we already have in us. Proverbs 9:9. So, we’re not dummies, we have just come to stir that deposit in us, thereby getting wiser by the day.
Tonight we’ll be looking at Espousing The Treasure of Divine Wisdom.
Proverbs 3:13-15, Happy is the man findeth wisdom and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver. And the gain thereof than fine gold. What an asset. Church Gist. Now, verse 15, she’s more precious than rubies and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
It’s an asset of inestimable value. Divine wisdom is an asset of inestimable value. Verse 16, length of days is in her right hand. What? There is no academic degree that delivers length of days. Church Gist. One of our elders stood here in the morning, she’s 79, she’s lived with sickle cell anemia all her life.
Ten years ago she encountered Jesus and took it up. She has no issue with her life anymore. Church Gist. There is no academic institution, no research center in the world offers length of days. No, they don’t have it. Their syllabus can’t contain it.
Divine wisdom is an asset of inestimable value. Now, verse 17, all her ways, are ways of pleasantness, pressure-free life, and all her paths are peace. Church Gist. Crisis -free, pressure-free life, crisis – free life, maintaining same temperature and pressure under all circumstances, that is Divine wisdom for you.
How precious are the treasures in Divine wisdom? Espousing the treasures of Divine wisdom? Church Gist. What is unique about the wisdom from above? Simply, it’s above all. Whatever is from above is above all. There is no school of knowledge under Heaven that will match what Divine wisdom offers.
We have this declaration in Job 28:7-2. We’ll be looking at it in segment.
There’s a path which the eagles, know not, which the vulture’s eye hath not seen. The lion’s webs have not passed or trodden it, nor the fierce lion pass by it. Church Gist. This treasure put his hand forth upon the rock and overturns the mountains by the roots, dissolves problems as if they never existed, it dissolves them.
You know, the Bible said in His presence, mountains flow down like wax, as if there are no mountains. Church Gist. It cuts out rivers among the rocks, his eyes sees every precious thing. It sees treasures amidst trashes.
One of our young fellows here went to a place for NYSC that takes lesson teachers or lesson teaching. He made two million in the NYSC year. Church Gist. Two million. His eyes seeth every precious thing.
A young lady was in Zaria on NYSC. She was moving tomato from Zaria to the railway station in Kaduna. She bought a jeep in the course of NYSC. Church Gist. His eyes seeth every precious thing. And some old girls and old boys are crying to their mommy for SIM card or recharge card. His eyes seeth every precious thing.
You never get stranded with Divine wisdom at work. It creates what is not believed can exist. Some folks are looking for jobs today. Church Gist. They have the potentials to create jobs inside of them lying fallow.
His eyes seeth every precious thing. Every. This event will bust every tension around everyone’s life. Church Gist. It will bust every tension around everyone’s life. You will know the meaning of true peace from after this meeting.
This is one of the products of divine wisdom. The word says this wisdom is hid from the eyes of all living. Church Gist. So forget it. There is no natural or intellectual platform for access. Job 28:13. It is hid from the land of the living.
In 1 Corinthians 2:14, a natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God because they are foolishness to him. Church Gist. Neither can he know them. They are beyond him.
It is that beyond realm that you’re going into. What will make the world wonder at you. That is what you are going into. Church Gist. A young man in Kaduna came in from the U.S. with a master’s in Mechanical Engineering and couldn’t get a job.
Somehow, light came. Went to Edo state, checked how much they sell palm oil, came to Kaduna market, checked how much they are buying and became an oil merchant. Church Gist. Long story short, he bought a house in G.R.A dealing in palm oil.
When wisdom comes, it creates solutions. Wake up. Wake up. Church Gist.
You never get stranded anymore in your life. It’s not found in the land of the living. Job 28:21.
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living and kept close from the eyes of researchers. The fowl’s eye. Church Gist. Because my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the heavens are higher than the earth. So are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
And so shall my world be. So His wisdom is higher than the highest.
Can you imagine? You’re going with that today. Church Gist. You are leaving Shiloh with the identity of Divine wisdom on your life. You’ll be breaking forth without sweating.
Does light struggle for breakthrough in the midst of darkness? It’s natural! Light comes, darkness clears. It can’t stand! Church Gist. We were all in that School, nobody ever graduated, we are all in that School, we are just changing class. We can only change classes, we can’t finish. Romans 11:33.
-But we are leaving here wiser than we came. Everyone is leaving here wiser than he comes.
It’s not available in the knowledge market. Job 28:15-20. So, it is not available for acquisition in the natural sphere. There is no School of Knowledge that has it. But he concluded: “God knows the way thereof.” Only available with God. Only accessible from God, not anywhere else. Church Gist. And that God is your father and my father. Ecclesiastes 7:11. Wisdom is good and no good thing will He withhold from them who walk uprightly. If you lack wisdom ask Me, I’m committed. I’m not saying you’re not wise but you don’t know what to do about this particular situation. Ask Me! Ask Me! “You have done all you know but it’s not working, ask Me.” Matthew 7:11.
I’d like us to be desperate on this Mountain, for access to the next levels of this Wisdom. 1 Corinthians 2:7-8. It’s an eternal mystery, you can’t check it out in a laboratory. It’s an eternal mystery. A young lady had one leg shorter than the other and ran to me out there in the old Church in the lobby and I lay hands on her. Before our eyes, the leg grew out. There is no orthopedic explanation to that. It’s just on its own. It’s in its own class! Its own class. I was teaching in our European Convention and I said: “Tonight! The Master surgeon will visit you. Church Gist. He sent Adam to sleep, cut him open, removed a rib and packaged another creature called Eve. As he that slept did sleep in the night. Genesis 2:22. I said: “Tonight! He will visit you.” One of those ladies who had a fall as a young child and has carried that waist trouble all her life. Then, came this Man in white with some two other individuals and began to pull the thing out of her waist. He said: “What time is it?” “5:30.” Look up! 5:30! No more! No explanation! There is no scientific explanation, no psychological explanation. You see? We have reduced ourselves so low to that level. So low that whatever they say we now (say): “Hei! You know what they said?” What did God say?
-Therefore in the name of Jesus, every negative medical report that came down with anyone to this Event clears out tonight!
One of our sons here was captured. They shot him AK47, it didn’t answer. They used cutlass, it didn’t answer. They say: “Which Church do you attend?” He said: “Winner!” “Leave him oo. They are like that, leave him!” That is, they organized his a$$a$$ination, someone organized his a$$a$$ination when he was to supply some goods and has set people out there on a bush path. Church Gist. There they accosted him, tied him up, tied him up to a tree. Those are not explainable, they are mysteries. There is what he must have caught that won’t let him be shootable. No! That won’t let cutlass answer to him. You know? They yielded their body that they should not serve another god. Yielded their body! Fire could not burn them!
-Somebody is breaking forth! You know the good news? Every treasure embedded in divine wisdom will start speaking louder by the day in your life. Church Gist. At least tonight, you are going home with the seal of length of days! Untimely death is over in your family!
That’s how much treasure is loaded in divine wisdom. Forget about all these funny funny things they are doing around when wisdom comes in, it subdues them. You find your way where nobody can find their way because He shows you the way to go. Now, God is the sole custodian of this treasure. It’s not available anywhere else. Job 28:23. God is the sole custodian of divine wisdom. He is the sole custodian of this wisdom that covers all areas of life. The many-sided wisdom of God in all its innumerable aspects and infinite varieties is only available with God. You can be an academic success and be a family wreck. You can be a financial success and be a family failure. But this wisdom covers all areas. Covers your health, covers your spiritual well-being, covers your family.
-In the name of Jesus, welcome to that realm tonight!
It’s an ever-growing realm. I was telling our co-ministers today, I didn’t come to teach anybody I came to learn at the feet of Jesus. We are all in the same School of Wisdom.
This wisdom is only accessible from above. James 3:17. Only accessible from above! You can’t go from pillar to post, it doesn’t give you access to it. James 1:17. Now you know my language, the ‘goodest’ of all gifts is wisdom. Church Gist. It is the principal thing and it is good with an inheritance. It offers what nothing else has to offer. It is forever above all realms of wisdom and knowledge.
Now hear this, it has unlimited power to innovate, create and invent. Unlimited power! Calling those things as though they were and they came to be. Church Gist. Unlimited power to innovate, create and invent. Proverbs 8:12. The outbreak of this wisdom will humble the pride of the world.
By the help of heaven, insights from above, Uzziah invented engines. 2 Chronicles 26:14-15. Wisdom with unlimited power to invent. Exodus 31:1. You will hear your name from His mouth tonight. Expect a visitation that will turn you into a wonder to your world. Many job creators will rise and become breadwinners to several families. Somebody there where you are sitting, light is coming right now. Church Gist. All the drama of Genesis 1, the Bible revealed they were the acts of the wisdom of God. Proverbs 3:19. Please note that every word of scripture is by the breath of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Ghost speaking on God’s behalf and making men to document them. Psalm 104:24. That creative mystery at creation is still at work today. Malachi 3:16. Whatever God says in His Word, He creates when we receive and believe it. This wisdom does not go around looking for solutions, it creates them. It is not going about looking for solutions, it creates solutions. We have limited ourselves for too long, let’s get out of the box. We have limited ourselves for too long. Let’s get out of the box. You see under this, we cannot do this. You can’t do this, it is not possible.
I had one visitation. Very humbling one. I got myself by divine privilege on a bed that Copeland once used when he was in that place and we were going to sleep, my wife and myself. I said Jesus, whatever is in Copeland that is not in me, I want an encounter tonight. He is alive, He is not dead. Elisha was dead but the power in his bones brought the dead back and in the night, I saw an amputated arm with worms coming out. Out of compassion, I said in the name of Jesus… He said “I have brought you into the creative realm of your ministry today.” There is a creative realm in anything you get involved in. A creative dimension. He said I have brought you to the creative dimension of your ministry today. Men and brethren, that creative realm created Covenant University. It is a wonder to the world. It created Landmark University. It is a wonder to the world. So you have a degree and a diploma in Leadership at Covenant and Landmark. You can’t find it anywhere. You are not going out with one legged degree. We are positioning you to be relevant to your world.
Creative realm is a reality, welcome to that realm now. We have limited ourselves to all these things because we have lived with them for so long. Church Gist. We have been around the natural for so long that we have lost our supernatural identity. This event is your recovery event. Receive that in the name of Jesus.
Freely are ye given, free give. I release upon you tonight access to that creative realm.
Jeremiah 10:12. There is a stretching forth, an enlargement coming your way. Church Gist. There is a divine enlargement coming your way and coming through divine discretion in the name of Jesus.
Interestingly, God has reserved the wisdom required to deliver any task He has assigned any of us. “Have not I called you? Go in this thy might” So when God sends you on a mission, He has endowed you and I with what it takes to deliver and one of those principal things required is wisdom. Church Gist. So, He’s endowed us with the wisdom required, all we need to do is to now engage with growing that wisdom for an ever advancing life till the fullness of God’s agenda is fulfilled.
I’m going to beg you, stop holding to your opinions against the truth, you’ll be trapped. You can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. Stop holding your opinion against the truth, it’s a risk. Stop holding your opinion against the truth, it makes a failure. Romans 3:4. What is the problem? “Wife, submit yourselves to your own husbands” What’s the problem with that? Between that and divorce, which one do you choose? Church Gist. Just settle down and think. “I can’t submit. Never. Me? No, no. No way. I mean, I schooled in Harvard, he schooled in Ikorodu” and so what? Go and marry your school. Go and marry your school, my friend! “Husband, love your wife as Christ loves the Church” “Not this kind of wife, never. Nobody can love this kind of wife, never, too pompous” Well done. You’ll be wifeless in no time. You’ll go back to cooking, you’ll go back to sweeping, because ‘nobody can love that kind of wife’. What are you holding? You can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. Church Gist. Husband and wife, you are one. Let nothing divide you, let no children divide you, but you won’t hear. “Wife, go and stay with our children. I’ll stay here” You’re too smart for God. My wife stays with me. Our children have children, they should also raise their children. You better be Bible smart. Get Bible smart. That is true smartness that culminates in greatness. Get Bible smart.
I know corrections are not easily absorbable, but they’re essential. By the time you keep arguing with your teacher in school, you know you won’t leave that School. He says you are wrong, you say no, I’m not wrong. “I’m your teacher”. He says “It doesn’t matter. I said I’m not wrong”. “Okay, it seems you are the one marking your paper now. Church Gist. Go ahead. You have graduated already. I said you’re wrong. 2 plus 2 is not 5”. “No, it’s 5. (he says) Well, I’m from Faith Tabernacle” and so what? When He says you’re wrong, just say “Lord, I bow and thank you for grace to get right”.
- Somebody blessed? If you’re the one, let me hear your loudest Amen! Thank you, Jesus.
Proverbs 21:22. Wisdom will win any war, any day. But we’re to make demand for it. It doesn’t drop on any body’s lap. James 1:5. “Shall I go up? I need your direction”. “Go up, you’ll overcome”. Church Gist. Another time, they came, “Shall I go up?” “Don’t go up. Hold on, until you hear the moving of the wind, the mulberry tree, then you bestir yourself”. You keep making demand before taking steps, you don’t jump from frying pan to fire. Make demand.
Ezra called a fast for 3 days, to see the right way for them. Ezra 8:21-23. They don’t know what to do, Jehoshaphath called a fast. “We have no power or might against the people neither know we what to do. Church Gist. We need to know what to do from you”. Not just by asking and chewing gum. Serious matter, serious business.
The good news here is this. Walking in the wisdom of Scriptures keep all things going well for the believer.
-I see all things going well for you.
Deuteronomy 5:32,33. That is, walking in the wisdom of God, wisdom of Scriptures, guarantees those treasures. You live. That is, death is humiliated. “You are on course with me. I’m the one backing you up. Church Gist. You are walking in my plan, I’m standing by you that it may be well with you”.
-So, it’s well with you spiritually, well with you, your family, your business, your career. He will prolong your days on the Earth.
Walking in the wisdom of Scripture makes it well with the believer in all areas. John 14:21. Romans 8:28. John 14:21. Church Gist. So, walking in the light of Scriptures make all things working together for us.
-the good news is, there shall be no more regrets in your life! Romans 3:4. You are on top!
Now, lift up your right hand and absorb that reality. I have this treasure that is not available anywhere in the World in my life as one of the benefits of redemption. I thank you, Jesus for this endowment. I receive grace not to waste it. I receive grace to keep it stirred and keep my life going. I receive grace to keep growing it.
—Prayers—
Before we close in this Service, I’ll like to take us through 9 Prophetic Characteristics of the End Time Church. We’re doing that so you can know how to position yourself to be enlisted in this glorious, record breaking army that God is raising. Church Gist. Remember, God’s Word is essentially prophetic. They are not just to inform us, they’re for performance in our lives as we connect with them.
Prophetic Characteristics of the End Time Church:
- There shall be an outbreak of the manifold wisdom of God in the last days. Habakkuk 2:14. Outbreak of the manifold wisdom of God in the last days. So, it’s wisdom to connect and that, right now. Church Gist. Jeremiah 31:34. It’s an end time package, a time where people will be flowing in revelation naturally, applied truth as a lifestyle in the last days. Ephesians 3:8-11. There’s an eternal purpose for an outbreak of His manifold wisdom, that will disarm principalities and powers in the last days. Church Gist. Can I hear your amen? and that’s where you come in.
- No more molestation of your life.
- No more molestation of your children, of your grandchildren, of your health, or the works of your hands in the name of Jesus!
Two, there shall be outbreak of health and vitality in these last days. Isaiah 33:24. It’s a last day agenda. Church Gist. Sickness will become a stranger to the body. Jeremiah 30:17. For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of all your wounds. Jeremiah 30:17. For it says in Zion that no one sought after.
I will restore health unto you, and heal you of all thy wounds. Sayeth the Lord. Because they call thee an outcast. Saying this is Zion that no man seeketh after. Church Gist. But I vow to restore health to you. So in these last days, supernatural health shall be restored to the body of Christ.
Can I hear your loudest amen. We’ll be given sickness wisdom knockout from our life. It is written, I am the Lord that healeth thee. Church Gist. And I’m the Lord I change not, I’m still committed to your healing, health and wholeness. I sent Jesus to rectify it as a covenant by whose stripes ye were healed. So come free.
It doesn’t belong to you. The good news is that no sickness belongs to you anymore. Every sickness or disease in your body is today declared illegal. Church Gist. It’s declared illegal. Tonight is your night of freedom.
We are not looking forward to the last day. The last day is already here. There is famine in diverse places. Earthquake in diverse places. Church Gist. War and rumors of war. We are in the center of the end time.
Sickness shall be humiliated in your life, in your family in the name of Jesus. If anyone is tied down in sickness today anywhere around the world that is online in this agenda, in this program. Thus said the Lord, I have restored health unto you. Church Gist. Therefore be healed in the name of Jesus.
Number three, there shall be outbreak of financial fortune. For my city through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad. Church Gist. And watch, this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached among all nations. And then shall the end come.
Who among you saw the glory of this house in its former estate? How do you see it now? Is it not as compared to nothing? Church Gist. But I tell you, the glory of this house shall be greater than the former. The silver is mine and the gold is mine sayeth the Lord.
So we are in the days of outbreak of financial fortune in the body. Sir, the nature of the world will be humbled. Church Gist. They will be humbled by our access to its riches in glory.
They will be humbled. Clean wealth. Unadulterated wealth. Sanctified wealth, not korokoro wealth. Sanctified wealth is reserved for these last days. Church Gist. He said the silver is mine and the gold is mine, I’m looking for trusted channels to pass them through. God is busy looking for trusted channels to pass these Heavenly riches through.
If you have not been faithful in your unrighteous mammon, who shall commit to your trust the true riches. Luke 16:11. Who shall commit to your trust the true riches. So He’s committed to our trust. Can you be trusted with His treasure? Won’t you blow up? Won’t you marry more wives? Church Gist. Won’t you start building shrines? Can you be trusted? He said to that man, and so he said, O man, who is rich in this world but not rich towards God? When you’re not rich towards God, riches can kill you. Church Gist. It is your investment towards God that sustains your wealth. Can I hear your amen? And so it’s every man that’s rich in this world, but it’s not rich towards God. So wake up. There is coming an outbreak of financial fortune in the body of Christ.
You know the Lord told me, get back home and make my people rich. When I see people wagging their mouth, I just say, these people don’t know anything. Church Gist. I heard from Jesus severally. I’ve proved all that I heard from him. It’s working like fire. Working like fire.
I’m not indebted to any man living or dead, or any bank. Close down or rise up.
Wake up. The end time wealth is ordained for the expansion of the Kingdom. It’s ordained for what? Otherwise you’ll be expanding wives. Solomon built one temple for God and built a thousand shrines for his three wives. Church Gist. Somebody’s story is changing. If that’s you, let me hear your loudest amen.
Hear this prophet saying there’s coming an outbreak of financial fortune and it has begun. Many are in it today. Many more will come into it today. Church Gist. As you allow God to lead the way forward for you. Can I hear your amen? You know what He said? Then shall you return and discern between them that serve God and them that serve Him not.
For the day cometh that the earth will burn like an oven. Please go back with me to Malachi 3:18. Malachi 4:1. You will be growing up and going forward. Church Gist. Everything is burning down you are growing up and going forward. That is you. I said that is you.
So, serving God with our substance is gateway to being a partaker of this outbreak of financial fortune. Church Gist. You won’t miss your place in it.
Number four, there shall be outbreak of witty inventions, creation of solutions. We said a bit of that earlier on. Church Gist. I wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out the knowledge of witty inventions. It shall be an era of rise of giants, sorry, rise of stars. Jesus said, I am the bright and the morning star.
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and the morning star. Church Gist. And as my father sent me, so sent I you.
So every child of God has a star embedded in him. And like we know, Acts 2: 20-21, Heavens will receive Jesus until the time of fulfillment of all things which the Lord has spoken. So stars will rise in their number. Church Gist. I said stars will rise in their number.
From all fields of human endeavor, stars will rise in their number. Church Gist. Stars will rise from all fields of human endeavor, in the name of Jesus, and they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament.
And they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. There are two sides to that, there is a rise coming that would make men follow you on their own. Zechariah 8:23. There is a rising that makes men to follow you on their own. There’s an outpouring coming that would make men change their name to your name. Isaiah 44:3-6. As you begin to break forth on the right and on the left, people will come your way saying: “We will go with you! For we have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah 8:23. Church Gist. This thirst will rise, magnetizing multitudes to the Kingdom. Their rise will humble the pride of those around them. They want to follow them to worship their God. Can I hear your Amen? Daniel 12:3. There are many of us here today, that others saw God’s hand on you and came into Christ. Do I have a witness here? They just saw the hand of God on your life. Maybe they have cast you away before, but they saw that hand evident on your life. “We’ll go with you!”
Let me say this: I never asked any member of my family: “Come and join this Church.” Church Gist. Never! One of them called me one day, he said: “We had a great service today.” I said: “Where?” He said: “The Church at so, so, so.” I said: “Hey! You went there?” No! Light is ever attractive.
-God will make your life an attraction. We are in the days of rising stars. You will not sell off your birthright. Church Gist. From Shiloh 2024, God is turning every one of us to an attraction. Our lives will be changing levels in attraction in the name of Jesus Christ!
We are in the days of enthronement of the saints. Psalm 110:1-2. The Church shall be reigning in power in all spheres of life before Jesus comes. Sir, it’s not a political statement oo. No strong or weak nation shall change it. Church Gist. The Church of Christ prophetically shall be reigning in power before Jesus comes. Rapture will not be a secret thing, it will be: “The fountains of life have left.” As rapture (takes place), the fountains of life have disappeared. In other words, we don’t know where those guys are. Everybody will know that all that matters in the World have just left.
-You won’t miss your place! Your crown another man will not take it.
Revelation 3:11. Daniel 7:27. That is Heaven’s agenda sir. It’s everlasting, it will be the end of the World. It will be where the World ends. The Church will have practical dominion over the affairs of the World. Can I hear your Amen? Church Gist. Now, if you check all of those Endtime Prophetic characteristics, they anchor on wisdom. All of them anchor on wisdom. So it’s the principal thing for any of us to get into this glorious army. Thank You Jesus!
- The last enemy that shall be destroyed before Jesus comes is d€ath.
What is it? D€ath! Don’t be scared, it has been conquered already. D€ath has been conquered already. 1 Corinthians 5:26. Church Gist. That means, the power of d€ath shall be disabled. Destroyed. Job 28:22. So, a man in the midst of hungry lion cannot be eaten. The last enemy Jesus destroyed when He came was d€ath. The last enemy that is sure to be destroyed before Jesus returns is d€ath. Last, last! And it’s in now!
-Therefore, I call d€ath destroyed in your family!
Someone here had a student at Covenant University, the junior sister di€d and they took her to the mortuary. The man said I appeared to him in the night and said: “Go and collect your daughter from the mortuary.” And they put her in her room where she was sleeping before she di€d. She di€d of k!dney failure. Church Gist. First day, no sound no voice but she was on her bed. Second day, no sound no voice but she was on her bed. Third day, a noise came alive in the room. Brand new k!dney! So the k!dney di€d to resurrect. Alive and well! Come on give the Lord praise!
-That’s the kind of knockout, d€ath will suffer in these last days and it’s beginning with you.
I was in Abuja and then there was a déad child in the third floor of the children department and I was there for a night. An all night. Kind of breakthrough night, to pass though the place, I didn’t come there for that event and it was our healing month. “Is there no balm in Gilead?” The dèad child on the third floor came alive. Church Gist. She passed on at 1:30pm from National Hospital. Came to Church, Church also confirmed him dèad. The doctors in the Church confirmed him dèad. So he was dèad twice. They brought that child to me after 6 years. “Daddy, that was the child that Jesus raised.” There was no laying (on of) hands: “Wake up!”
-Now listen! In the name of Jesus, dominion of dèath over your life is over.
We had this very humbling one of a young student, di€d, €mbalmed and put in the mortuary. That was in Auchi. If you have the screen you can put it there, they prayed all night – Kingdom advancement prayer not. “Oh! God raise him from the dèad.” In the morning, they sent the younger brother to go and check him up and get him out of the mortuary. So he got there. They said: “You came late, we have already €mbalmed him.” He said: “No! Just let me enter.” He entered the mortuary and knelt down. “Jesus Christ is here!” Are you hearing? Is that a prayer? “He is the Resurrection and the Life. “Jesus Christ is here.” He now added: “I mean Jesus Christ that Bishop Oyedepo serves, He’s here.” He rose up and came back to life. That is the knockout of d€ath in the last days. See him!
-Can I tell you this? You are going places
We are not in ordinary days oo. No sorcerer has that capacity. Only Jesus! He through death, destroyed him that had the power of death. Death is already destroyed. It shall be fully manifested now. Anyone you call back will answer. A man had an accident and passed on, they put him in a mortuary. The wife sat down there anointing his feet. “Honey, you can’t go.’ They were discharged the same night. Discharged to go back home the same night. Wife raising husband back to life. Death is humiliated. So you don’t need an apostle. You don’t need a founder with a rod and cap. You need faith in the end time agenda. Look at your children, you won’t bury any of them. Your grandchildren, you won’t bury any of them. Revelation 1:18. Jesus now has the keys of hell and of death. Church Gist. Satan used to have it, Jesus through death destroyed him that had… Hebrews 2:14-15. He took the key when He rose from the dead. Satan does not have the key anymore. So he has no power over how long you live here. Jesus has the key and he is holding the key in your favour. You shall not die but live and declare the works of God in the name of Jesus.
We are in the generational record breaking era. Joel 2:1-11 (paraphrased). We are in that season, what eyes have not seen nor ears heard. They will be the order of the day in the Body of Christ in this hour. Church Gist. In these terrible days, there will be the rise of a record breaking army, the kind the world has never seen and that is where you belong. Don’t let the darkness of this hour confuse you, it is not for you.
Finally, we are in the days of holiness. Jesus is coming to rapture a Church without spot or wrinkle or anything of such. Ephesians 5:25-26. Isaiah 35:8-9. Welcome to the highway of holiness. Holiness shall become the highway of the saints in this end time. That is why the devil is all out to corrupt and defile the Body. It doesn’t matter what you do, you are okay. You are not okay. You are not okay. The devil doesn’t want you to be okay. You are deceiving yourself. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. There is no time to go over that list. Don’t let any devil deceive you. We are not in a debate parade. Take it all and swallow it raw. If God does not say you are alright, don’t confuse yourself that you are alright. Church Gist. You say one version said. Which version? Did you see that version when you got saved? The unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. God is building mansions and He hates waste. So people are ordained to occupy those mansions. There is no demolition program in heaven. That means people have been ordained to walk in the highway of holiness that will qualify them for a place in heaven. Why not you?
Is anybody hearing what I am talking about? I made this one the last so I can say it. There is a highway that God is creating in these last days, it is called the highway of holiness. Fools can’t walk in there. You need the wisdom of God that establishes your sanctification to get in there. Highway is secure. Highway guarantees speed. Highway enhances easy drive. Come on this highway. That is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord. Proverbs 9:10. Let us crave on this mountain, a baptism for the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. Church Gist. One of the seven spirits upon Christ, it is also called the Spirit of Holiness. Let’s crave for it. How can what the world detests be embraced by the Church? You lie and you say you are the righteousness of God in Christ. Which righteousness are you as a liar? As a thief? As an adulterer? No! Why must you start in the Spirit and end up in the flesh? Why are there prisons? To put the lawless. Why is there hell? To put the lawless. Without engaging the law of the Spirit, you can’t be free from the law of sin and death. You have to engage one law to be free from another. To be free from the law of sin and death, you must engage the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Don’t be deceived.
It does not only rob people access to eternity, it robs access to the Word. That means you keep losing your worth. It robs you of access to answered prayers, that means you are helpless because we connect with help on the altar of prayer. We experience breakthroughs by access to revelation. You know why? The devil knows that he has but a short time and he wants to carry as many as he can get with him. He won’t get you, He won’t get me. If you read all the Pauline epistles, you find all of those definitions in clear terms. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. Church Gist. We are baptized to walk in the newness of life and sin shall no more have dominion over us. Like I said we are all learning, we are all in the School of Wisdom. Our desire is to pick instructions and get wiser and move forward in life.
1 Corinthians 15:19. If all your breakthroughs are here, you are most of all men miserable. We have an eternal home, the ultimate of our redemption. Don’t miss it. Don’t go for the pleasure of sin for a season and destroy yourself for eternity. Don’t miss it. Ever winning wisdom is ever living in the fear of God. Ever winning wisdom is walking in the holiness. Walking in the fear of God as a lifestyle. For that is the beginning of access to wisdom.
