YOU NEED TO SEE THE RESISTANCES OF HELL WHEN WE STEPPED IN HERE TO CANAANLAND, FROM DIABOLICAL TO PHYSICAL: UNTIL WE TOOK CHARGE GLORIOUSLY.
IT IS NOT UNSPIRITUAL TO BE CHALLENGED BUT IT IS ANTI-COVENANT TO BE DEFEATED.
YOU CANNOT OVERCOME WITH FEAR, YOU ARE EVER A VICTIM WITH FEAR.
NO MANDATE HAS A FUTURE WITHOUT STRONG FAITH BEING KEPT ALIVE, AGAINST THE DAY OF TROUBLE.
-Bishop David Oyedepo at Hour of Visitation, Faith Tabernacle
Day Four, Morning Session
Shiloh 2021: More Than A Conqueror
*If you have no faith, you will have all fear
*No faith equals all fear;
*Little faith equals some fear;
*Great faith equals no fear;
*No faith equals all fear: That means defeat in all areas.
*Faith is in degrees and you have to feed on the level of faith you are, to move to the next. It won’t jump on you.
OPERATING IN THE REALM OF MORE THAN A CONQUEROR (Part 6)
Conquest connotes there is a battle. It is not unspiritual to be challenged. Job was grievously challenged but he came out triumphant. It is not unspiritual to be challenged but it unscriptural to be defeated.
-You shall no more record defeat in your adventure.
It’s unbiblical to be defeated. It is anti-covenant to be defeated.
In this world you shall have tribulation, so He is not hiding that from us but cheer up, be of good cheer, I have overcome the world – John 16:33
Jesus was the One there speaking. How? Why? Because Christ in you and me, the hope of glory – Colossians 1:27
Proverbs 27:21
Operating in the realm of more than a conqueror must be understood in the light of battles and battles over which God has ordained us as individuals to be more than conquerors. Nothing wrong was found in Daniel, yet they wanted him eaten up by lions – Daniel 6:4-5
It is not unspiritual to be challenged but it is anti-covenant to be defeated.
The 3 Hebrew boys were in the company of Daniel, they were God’s choice people in Babylon. They were men that feared God and hated evil, yet they wanted to put an end by casting them into the fiery furnace. It is not unspiritual to be challenged, but it is unscriptural to be defeated. In fact, champions are made out of challenges. So don’t think it is strange when you are faced up with diverse challenges, it is God’s set platform for the making of Champions. Church Gist. There is no one singing the songs of triumph today that was not challenged yesterday.
Nobody could believe this Church would emerge like this when you look at where we are coming from. I went through 16 Seminars back-to-back, we grew only to 90. It is not that you are not facing what you are seeing but you have to pass the test of patience. You have to.
1 John 5:4 – The mystery behind our being more than conquerors over the challenges of life is our faith.
Their faith yielded their body above the terror of fire because they trusted in their God – Daniel 3:28
Not casual faith, not bread and butter faith. The ‘if I perish, I perish’ order of faith.
“I know Him whom I have believed” – 2 Timothy 1:12
“I know that My Redeemer liveth; even if He slays me” – Job 13:15
That is where the spirit of faith comes in, the only force that can enable you and I humiliate the trials and put them under our feet
Daniel 3:28 – Their trust transformed their bodies to celestial bodies, the kind that no fire, no matter the temperature can devour. Their trust was behind the glorious triumph and the gold in them emerged, from the fiery furnace. The King made a decree that every Nation that says nonsense against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – Fire straight.
They became rulers, they took dominion by their faith – Daniel 3:30
Wake up, in this world we shall have tribulations: troubles across nations. There is nowhere you can run to. Troubles across all nations.
Tribulations: Tribu distributed to Nations – John 16:33
“But cheer up” – Take responsibility. Get your faith on fire, keep your faith on fire against the day of challenge. It is the spirit of faith that empowers believers to dare the ‘undare-able’, speak the unspeakable and command incredible results.
“Our God whom we serve” – Daniel 3:17
That is no general faith. That is Heaven’s speaking faith, it is the spirit of Your Father that speaketh in you. That is not you. You can’t see fiery furnace and be talking grammar. You will bow first and then repent later. But with the spirit of faith, there is no unspeakable thing, it fires up in you and you triumph gloriously.
We are not seeing there will not be challenges, we are saying you have what it takes if you will take responsibility.
You need to see the resistances of hell when we stepped in here to Canaanland, from diabolical to physical: satan you lie! Until we took charge gloriously.
Proverbs 24:10, Daniel 6:23
That is the place of supernatural faith that empowers believers to operate in the realm of more than a conqueror.
The first approach of your troubler and my troubler, the devil comes through words to stir fear in you and when you subscribe to fear, you have become a victim – Proverbs 29:25
Fear!!! Fear is his (the devil) master strategy of making victims of believers; he comes to challenge us by inflicting fear into the believer.
2 Timothy 1:7
Romans 8:15 – fear keeps the believer in captivity. It brings believers into captivity cringing.
When they saw Pharaoh’s army at the back, they (Israelites) said, “we told you this before. It is better to die in Egypt, you brought us here. We told you before” – Exodus 14:12
Okay, why did you follow? When fear came, they wanted to go back to captivity. Thank God for Moses.
Can you imagine if Pharaoh got them back to Egypt! They would be offering them as sacrifice in the open market every day. That every family should produce one person.
And God will always say, “Fear not” – Exodus 14:13
You cannot overcome with fear, you are ever a victim with fear. Church Gist. If these battles will not end and fear is a master strategy of the wicked one, then you better treasure the place of the spirit of faith and take responsibility in keeping that spirit on fire.
“Let’s go to the other side”: then there arose a great storm – Mark 4:35-41
You have heard God: Yes. Jesus was at rest and they that believe have entered into rest – Hebrews 4:3
So when you believe in truth and in deed, He ushers you into your rest.
When they woke Him up, “Master, we perish” – Mark 4:38
“Why are you so fearful?” – Mark 4:40
he (the devil) cannot destroy until he has inflicted with fear.
-Today, I curse the spirit of fear in your life.
-I command the spirit of faith to remain alive in you, or to get into you now and remain there alive, active and on fire for life.
Those 3 episodes in scriptures were all issues of the triumph of fear on His disciples.
Mark 4:40 – If you have no faith, you will have all fear
No faith equals all fear;
Little faith equals some fear;
Great faith equals no fear;
All of faith equals none of fear.
Some of faith equals some of fear;
No faith equals all fear: That means defeat in all areas.
Faith is in degrees and you have to feed on the level of faith you are, to move to the next. It won’t jump on you.
To keep that faith alive, you have to take responsibility to keep feeding that faith with the Word of life. Standing strong on the altar of prayer.
Which way Jesus? There is always a way out. That is how to prime that faith for continuous delivery. It is time to take responsibility to access a zero fear level in your life.
There is this privileged grace of this little anointing on my life but we were in a road accident that was going to be fatal or destructive. We hit something on the highway, my wife said, “In Jesus name.”
I said, “once is enough.” Too many “In Jesus name” on this thing.
I said, “we are not going to hit that place.” I was totally in command in the midst of that terror and just a few inches to the place, it stopped. My bag was missing, in the morning, I told my driver, “get back to that place and get my bag.”
It was brought intact. It is in the midst of challenges that the gold in you comes alive.
We have had some air trembles at various times: You hear me say, “peace be still.”
When faith comes alive, you are at rest. We lost one engine in the air and the Pilot’s head was issuing sweat. He wasn’t sweating, sweat was coming out from the fountain of the sweat part of his brain. The plane was slowing down, there was no slow motion, no traffic (in the air).
I said: What is going on?
“We just lost one engine.” I said, “relax”; I got back to the cabin and I asked my team who were travelling with me, “will you like to have some snacks?”
And I must not tell that there was an engine (failure), otherwise I might have a lot of crash: they can open the door and start jumping out. I told the Pilot, “relax, make you a U-turn back to Lagos.” We landed.
You say, “Did you land?” That is why you are seeing me now. We landed safely.
You need to build your faith against the day of battle. No mentor can help you in that time, no teaching priest can help you. What is in you and you is what remains.
If a believer will not take personal responsibility, he will end up a liability. Church Gist. Take responsibility.
My wife said, “she had miscarriage.” I was away on Mission. I reacted, “No, it cannot happen. Can I have my food please?” It was never re-visited, there was no discussion. It ended there.
We were faced by a truck on a narrow bridge in the night and I have shared that with you many times. We had entered one end of the bridge and there was no sign, other accidents had removed the sign, so there was nothing on the side of the bridge. Suddenly we discovered in our great beetle car that a superior beetle was coming and we were going to meet on that bridge. The beetle had no engine in front, no resistance, it’s direct crash, it is not head on, it is head flesh. The only way out was to dive into the river and turn the car to a boat. Suddenly the thing in me sprout up and “He gives His angels over me, to bear you up on their wings when you are on a narrow bridge” – Psalm 91:11-12
“Lest you dash thy foot” – not your head now, your foot is very important to Him. We drove across, triumphantly.
How? Ask God.
What burns others can’t burn you if you trust Him. If we had dived into that river, the Mandate had dived – 1984. Before it sees the light of day, it had dived into the water.
No mandate has a future without strong faith kept alive, against the day of trouble.
You have a place of Ministry, they ask, “Pack out today.” You move. You go to the next.
“I know how to pack him out” and when the Ministry is about to find footing, “pack out again.”
You keep packing. The Ministry acquires land somewhere, you want to build: No, you can’t build. You pack out again. So you have a pack out record. They took notice of it that we can always pack him out. Just threaten him and throw him out.
- The threat of the devil will not stand on your way anymore
Before we close, I want you to understand one mystery. The words of the unsaved is powerless!
Speak a word and it shall not stand – Isaiah 8:10
The words of an agent of the devil is vain, has no substance, does not qualify for fear. It cannot stand. Understand this.
“One woman said something to me when I was growing up”: you will just be cringing for life.
You know how many things women/ men said to me, none has worked. Their words are vain, they have no substance. They can’t stand!
Pharaoh vowed that Israel will not go, after he said, “Go!!” and he came with all the forces of Egypt after them, none returned. They all perished in the sea.
There is nothing in the words of the unsaved to cause threat in your life. There is nothing in the words of any agent of the devil to cause fear or dread in your heart. There is nothing there!!
2 Kings 19:20, 35
God took care of him by one Angel, one Angel went forth and cleared his pride, humbled him to the ground, overthrew him to the ground and brought him to humiliating destruction – 2 Kings 19:35
There is nothing in the bragging of the devil and his agents to command your fear.
Say with me, “there is nothing in the devil or his agents that qualifies for fear.”
1 John 4:4
Our redemption qualifies us for the blessings of Abraham – Genesis 12:3
Live in the consciousness of it, let it impact on the way you think.
As far back as 1979, I made my first altar call for witches and when they rose up they were too many. I said, “now sit down. I am not saying that somebody challenged you that you are a witch. You know you are a practicing witch, you, yourself, by yourself. Stand up.”
I rejoiced because I am far above them. So I said one of them should come and tell us what she does in the ministry of the devil. She said, “anytime they wanted to suck blood, they go on the highway and they cause any vehicle coming to summersault and they suck the blood of the victims.”
Without hesitation, I said, “(What about) when people like us are coming?”
She said, “when we sense a higher power on the way, we clear off the highway.”
It is light that is higher power to darkness. Light.
-Something has broken loosed in your life.
-Whatever word of the wicked has prevailed against your life because you were ignorant of this truth, it reverses back to sender today.
Isaiah 8:9-10
All the forces of hell scattered around the nations, take counsel together against the Church of Christ, it shall not stand. Church Gist. In case this whole noise about corona virus is targeted against the Church of Christ, they are wasting time.
The Church of Christ! No force under Heaven can prevail against her – Matthew 16:18
-Revival is breaking forth in every Church on this earth.
-There is coming an outbreak of revival.
Every time the Church is resisted, there is always an outbreak of the power of God. There is always an outbreak of the power of God anytime the Church is resisted by any system, any personality that is targeting the Church as one of its objectives.
You know why I am shouting that: The Church was the first place to shut down during the first wave. We shouted them down, they took shape straight. Now there is another variant. Silenced forever.
-That noise stops there now.
Without the Church, the world would be locked up in darkness.
Sir, the Church is the light of the world and darkness hates light because their works are evil but Jesus gave a verdict, “I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Have you ever seen corona virus here? How will it enter? There are many, many ministries today, corona virus is alien to you. You can’t tell what it is, we have been free as air ever since. They come en masse from outside the country and go back, checked out: corona virus free. Not one has been delayed Sir since this propaganda began.
I can tell you this, the Church is ever on the winning side.
Isaiah 8:11-14
There are many who wished there is an outbreak of corona virus here. Shame on them.
Don’t fear their fear or you suffer their fall. Every man is a victim of what he fears.
-I therefore curse the activities of the spirit of fear which has been inflicted upon the human race these past 3 years in the name of Jesus.
-My prayer is that you won’t lose sight of this Lion of the tribe of Judah leading your way.
It will be fool hardy for a sheep being led by a lion to be afraid of the wolf. The wolf will be fresh meat for the lion. There is no small lion, don’t toy with them.
Don’ say, “how old is this lion?” They say, “7 years.”
I am already 60. Lion likes to eat matured meat.
-Fear is gone.
Prayers: Receive afresh the spirit of faith.
Every gift of God is freely available to everyone who covets them.
