IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE IS LEGALIZED.
SPIRITUAL GENTILITY IS A LIABILITY NOT AN ASSET. YOU CAN’T BE GENTLE AND TAKE WHAT IS YOURS.
SHILOH IS NOT A CHURCH ANNIVERSARY BUT A PLACE OF TAKING DELIVERY OF OUR HANGING INHERITANCES IN CHRIST.
WE ARE PRODUCTS OF OUR ENCOUNTERS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
THE ENCOUNTER OF ANOTHER PERSON CANNOT MAKE YOU.
IT IS ENCOUNTERS THAT MAKE LIFE COUNT.
WE MUST GRADUATE FROM SEASONAL RIGHTEOUSNESS TO ALL SEASON RIGHTEOUSNESS.
WE SHOULDN’T JUST CLEAN UP BECAUSE WE EXPECT SOMETHING AT SHILOH, WE SHOULD REMAIN CLEAN AT ALL TIMES.
- Pastor Isaac Oyedepo || GETTING SET FOR DIVINE ENCOUNTERS AT SHILOH 2022 || Covenant Hour of Prayer || 18th November, 2022
I think the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords deserves bigger hand clap for all those amazing testimonies. Father we give you praise and we give you all the glory. This is another day, the day that the Lord has made. You and I must rejoice and must be glad in it. Church Gist. Lift up your hands and appreciate Him one more time for the gift of life.
Father, we thank you for the gift of life, we appreciate your name, blessed be your name forevermore, to you alone be praise and glory, thank you for all the encounters of the week thus far, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and this is Friday, we give you praise and we give you all glory, blessed be your name forever more, in Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Heavenly Father we thank you, our hearts are bursting forth with joy, with excitement for the gift of life, another opportunity to go higher in you, we thank you Lord for the gift of your presence,thank you for bringing us into your house this morning, by the Blood of the Lamb we gain access into this Holy Word and sweet Holy Spirit we rely upon you for accuracy, let this atmosphere be charged with your presence. Church Gist. For all you do, I vow to return all the glory to you, in Jesus precious name we pray. Praise the Lord I’m more than a Conqueror. Congratulations. Give the Lord a hand and a shout of praise and you may be seated.
Getting set for divine encounters at Shiloh 2022 has been our subject of exhortation since the week began. Getting set for divine encounters at Shiloh 2022. This being the fifth day, if you are taking it in the series you can have this as part 5 of this exhortation.
It’s important we note as we begin this day that in the Kingdom of God we are products of our encounters, this is very crucial. The encounter of another person cannot make you. Church Gist. In the Kingdom of God, we are products of our encounters. It has been said this way, it is encounters that makes like to count. If we look at our spiritual lineage, we see that Abraham was a product of his encounter with God. Genesis 12:1-4.
Isaac his son couldn’t rely on Abraham’s encounter, he had to have his own encounter with God. Genesis 26:1. Don’t follow that step, don’t go down to Egypt, sow in this land and I will bless you here. Verse 12-14, Abraham had a visitation because of hie encounter, he became rich, so blessed that the Philistines envied him.
Now from Isaac, it moved on to Jacob but Jacob needed his own encounter.
Genesis 22:24-28 and Jacob said I will not let you go except you bless me. We see from our patriarchs of faith that every individual needs an individual encounter with God, I pray for you and I today that between now and Shiloh and all through Shiloh each one of us will have our own personal encounters with God. Church Gist. Did I hear the loudest Amen.
Because there’re 3 things we must note about every divine visitation:-
1.) Divine visitation often requires spiritual preparation. Amos 4:12, our scripture that we looked at since Monday.
2.) Every divine visitation often requires human intentionality. If you look at the story and the testimony of Jabez 1st Chronicle 4:9-10. Jabez had nothing to do with getting into his situation but he had everything to do with getting out of it . Church Gist. Jabez said in verse 10, 1st Chronicle 4:10, me, me, human intentionality. I may not know how I got into this mess but I must get out of this mess, human intentionality.
3.) Most divine visitations or every divine visitation often requires unquenchable desperation; Mark 10:46-52. We know the story of blind Bartimaeus. The word says as Jesus was coming into the city he began to cry, as He was going out of the city He still met him crying. Church Gist. Unquenchable desperation.
That was the kind of desperation that Jacob had, he said I will not let you go, the Angel said I will break your leg, he said break my leg and give me a name. Take whatever is around me that has hindered me from getting to what God has ordained me to be but I will not let you go. Church Gist. For the first time we saw a man wrestle with an Angel and the Angel had no choice but to bless him.
So divine visitation often requires:-
- Spiritual preparation
- Human Intentionality
- Unquenchable desperation
Now, what is Shiloh?
Many of us have been in Shiloh, some it will be our first time getting into Shiloh.
How does this relate to Shiloh?
Shiloh is not a Church anniversary but a place of taking delivery of our hanging inheritances in Christ. Church Gist. There are things that salvation has released that are not yet delivered, it is hanging.
Shiloh is that place where we take delivery of our hanging, it has been allocated but not yet received.
Shiloh is that place where we take delivery of our hanging inheritances, it is not a Church anniversary but it is a place of taking delivery or if you like, a place of possessing our possessions. Joshua 18:1-3.
But at Shiloh 2022 you and I will possess our possessions. Did I hear the loudest Amen!
2 Peter 1:3, he has given to us, why don’t we yet have it? We must possess it, we must possess it, he has given it to us. It is just like you ordering an item online, you’ve paid for it, it has your name on it, it’s been given to you but you must also take possession of it. At Shiloh 2022, everything that has your name on it that has been hanging somewhere by any demonic force that has yet to be delivered, at Shiloh 2022 they shall be delivered without delay. Church Gist. This is very crucial and very important, in the program of God, God has the exclusive right of 3 things amongst others:-
- The place of our visitation:- You and I are not the one to determine where God visits us.
- He has the exclusive right of the time of our visitation:- You and I are not the ones to determine when He will visit us.
- He has the exclusive right is the method of our visitation.
And in reference to Shiloh, God has set the following in order for the Winners family.
1.) He has said Shiloh is the place of our visitation. Every Winner knows if there’s any program to miss, Shiloh is not one of them because that is the place of our visitation. As a Winner’s family globally that is the place God has said you can be rest assured you will meet me there.
2.) Shiloh week in the agenda of God for the Winner’s family is also the time of our visitation. Church Gist. We didn’t choose it, He chose it. It is not just the place, it is also the time and when it comes to Shiloh in the agenda of God for the Winners family, God has said there’re only 2 ways I will visit at Shiloh.
- Through the Word:- the Lord appears again in Shiloh by the Word of God.
- Through the altar of prayer:- Shiloh prayer hour.
Please if you have missed Shiloh prayer hour in other Shilohs don’t miss it. It’s not only during the word that God visits at Shiloh, He also visits during the Shiloh prayer hour like He did for Hannah. This is very crucial.
As we conclude this morning, if Shiloh is a place where we possess our possessions, what are the requirements. 3 of them very quickly:-
1.) Blazing holiness; That is uncompromising holiness. Church Gist. We must graduate from seasonal righteousness to all season righteousness. We shouldn’t just clean up because we expect something at Shiloh, we should remain clean at all times.
Obadiah 1:17.
2.) This is very crucial, hardly talked about but I remember when God’s servant opened this dimension many years ago. I call this Spiritual violence. Church Gist. To possess your possessions at Shiloh you must be spiritually violent.
Hear this, in the Kingdom of God spiritual violence is legalized. In fact spiritual gentility is a liability not an asset. You can’t be gentle and take what is yours.
Matthew 11:12 – the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent taketh it, possesses it by force. Church Gist. From the days of John until now, the Kingdom of God is preached, Luke 16:16, and every man presseth into it.
3.) Prayer, fastings and watchings. Prayers, fastings and watchings. 2 Corinthians 11:27, Ephesians 6:18, Luke 12:37. That is what will happen to us at Shiloh.
In conclusion, we must set ourselves for an encounter with the Spirit of faith through the voice of the Lord. Church Gist. It’s one of those Spirits always available at Shiloh. In fact in this household of faith, to doubt God is a sin. But at Shiloh 2022, that Spirit of faith according to Ezekiel 2:2, 2 Corinthians 4:13 shall enter into all of us in Jesus precious name. You and I shall not miss our encounter at Shiloh in Jesus name. Rise on your feet right now, Lord I receive grace to take these 3 steps, prayers, fastings, watchings often, I receive that grace, I receive that grace for spiritual violence and I receive that grace for blazing holiness, let’s go ahead and speak to the Lord.
