OUR CHURCHES ARE IN THE CORE PARTS OF THE NORTH. HOW DARE YOU ATTACK IT? THE LION SITS THERE. HIS NAME IS JESUS, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
WE HAVE ALWAYS SHOCKED THE devil WITH OUR RESPONSE OF THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE IN THIS COMMISSION NO MATTER THE SITUATION.
WE HELD AN EIGHT-NIGHT CRUSADE IN KADUNA AND THE HIGHEST ATTENDANCE WAS 63 PEOPLE.
SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT WE FAILED, WE LEFT REJOICING AND SINGING UNTO THE LORD.
THE enemy IS JUST PLAYING PRANKS WITH BELIEVERS TO KEEP THEM MURMURING AND COMPLAINING SO HE CAN KEEP DOMINATING THEM.
EVERY PRAISING SAINT IS EVER IN COMMAND OF THE BATTLES OF LIFE.
MANY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THE POWER LOADED IN PRAISE.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at Midweek Communion Service || Canaanland, Ota.
Isaiah 38:19. Praising God elongates life. In the precious name of Jesus your praises this season will keep adding more days to you. Church Gist. If you want to stay alive, keep praising Him. We will be doing that all through eternity, start it here first.
Heavenly Father, thank you for another night. Accept our praises tonight, let it ring a bell in heaven. Let your presence be provoked by our praises tonight. Rewrite everyone’s story in this praise night in Jesus’ precious name we have prayed. So shall it be.
Deuteronomy 29:29. When God’s Word is revealed, the blessings thereof are released. When God’s secrets are revealed, the blessings thereof are released. May the blessings thereof find full expression in the life of every one of us. Access to the secrets of God makes stars of believers. Job 29:4. Church Gist. Access to God’s secrets when embraced and put to work makes stars of ordinary believers. Job became the greatest businessman in all the East, the civilized world of his days by trading the secrets of God. Now let us check on one of those mysteries behind praise tonight.
Psalm 92:1-2,10-11. I shall be anointed with fresh oil through the mystery of praise. Psalm 67:5, 149:7-9. This honour belongs to all His praising saints. The enemy has no power to prevail against you as a praising believer. In the midst of praise, He executes judgement against the heathen that has risen against you, opening up your destiny to begin to flourish. All that happens by the mystery of the release of the fresh oil. Church Gist. The fresh oil silences our enemies and opens the doorway to a flourishing life. Psalm 92:12-14. How do you get planted in the house of the Lord? You enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, into His courts with praise. There nothing dries up, the rod of Aaron buds behind the holiest of all. Nothing is permitted to dry up in his presence. Every dead thing lives in His presence. Hebrews 9:4. Rod with leaves. Fresh oil is one of the mysteries hidden in praise.
Psalm 89:20-22. How did they find him to get to the palace of the king? They heard him praising God in the wilderness. The man was held spellbound so when they said they were looking for someone who can play, “I just passed by the grazing field and I heard one young man playing, I had to find out who he was. He is the one you need”. They found him praising and brought him from the wilderness to the palace. His brothers hated him. Psalm 89:23. How much power is loaded in praise, people don’t know. Many don’t want to know. Every praising saint is ever in command of the battles of life. 2 Chronicles 20:22-24. As they began to sing and praise, God showed up and levelled them out. Church Gist. Acts 16:25. Paul and Silas prayed and sang, and the Holy Ghost came down. The anointing that destroys yokes came down to the prison and everyone’s bounds were loosened. The foundation of the prison was shaken. All the doors were opened. The enemy is just playing pranks with believers to keep them murmuring and complaining so he can keep dominating them. In the midnight of the struggle of Paul and Silas, they sang their way out. The anointing came and liberated them.
40 days of prayer and fasting with a mournful look, nothing. It will be starvation. Self-inflicted starvation, starvation that can kill if not controlled. Some have fasted their way to death, is that power? You sing your way in prayers to realms of anointing that you may not come by for many years if you won’t do it. It is time to praise the Lord with understanding. Psalm 89:20-24. What a package. Church Gist. May the grace of an ever-praising life which equals an ever-winning life, an ever flourishing life, an ever-level-changing life, may such grace come upon you tonight. We have always shocked the devil with our response of Thanksgiving and praise in this commission. He is confused. Church Gist. We held an 8-night crusade in Kaduna and the highest attendance was 63 people. We got up the morning of Monday and sang before the Lord.
🎶🎶All the glory must be to the Lord. For He is worthy of our praise, no man on earth should give glory to himself, all the glory must be to the Lord 🎶🎶
What glory have you seen? You didn’t see it but we saw it. We were on the floor singing unto heaven and suddenly He opened up the seal of Joel 2:1-11. “An army will rise on this platform, the king the world has never seen”. Church Gist. That is November 29th 1983. There were no civilians there even. So we left rejoicing, some people thought we failed. We just got a lift.
We were in Aba for a crusade and it was a wonderful one. As we were about to start the crusade, the company that we hired the public address system from said they are not giving us again. Ah! Thirty minutes to the time. I said folks if anybody complains that will be the last crusade forever. Let’s give thanks. We arrived there safely and gave thanks that we were not stoned. We met at least 16 people there who were still wondering what was happening because when they saw them folding the system, they thought there was no crusade. Church Gist. I asked them to join their hands and I preached to them so that they wouldn’t go. We sang and then came the prophetic word “when next you are in town there will be no seat”. By the time we came back to town, people were sitting down by noon for a 6pm meeting. If you want to come out of the valley, praise your way out. The anointing flows in the midst of praise that opens up the next chapters. Isn’t God wonderful? If you don’t pass the praise test you live under oppression. You better pass the praise test. Wake up and pass the praise test, it is one way out of the valley. Habakkuk 3:17-19. You are changing your level.
Somebody’s wife packed out with the children this month not last year, this month September 2022. He caught the word and danced his way out, his wife came back that same night. She called him “Excuse me, can I get transportation to come back”. Whatever good thing has walked away from you will walk back. So it all depends on how you engage. Just like my breath can’t sustain you, you need your own breath to sustain your life. Your personal praise is what will result into your personal blessings. Church Gist. It is not observation praise. “Ah that man can dance, maybe he is from Niger Delta oh”. “That man is dancing like somebody from Oyo”. Personal praise, personal blessing. Do you want the fresh oil released? Show it tonight by your praise and God will silence all your opposition as if they never existed. What a night we are in, your awesome night.
What is in the anointing? The power that destroys yokes. Bounds are loose, and captives are set free. Isaiah 10:27. Whatever is choking your life must lose its grip tonight.
What is in fresh oil? Supernatural breakthroughs. Isaiah 45:1-3. When you come under fresh oil you are listed as anointed. So everyone under fresh oil is in that picture.
- Your life will never suffer stagnation again in the precious name of Jesus.
That is what is in fresh oil and praise is a facilitator of the release of fresh oil upon the believer and when that happens? It keeps our enemies bound, silenced, and their mouths stopped. From being a subject of pity you become the envy of your world because something got loosed as you praise Him.
- In the precious name of Jesus, you are in for the best of times this week.
- Every closed door shall begin to open to you on their own accord.
- Every prison gate shall be shattered by the power of God.
- Every evil will of the wicked shall be brought to nought.
- Everyone appointed to death shall be rescued. Everyone with a plague on his or her life shall walk into liberty tonight.
We serve a covenant-keeping God, you give thanks and watch Him release pleasures upon you. He is waiting for your response. His side is secured, He doesn’t have the capacity to change. Keep your part genuinely, don’t fake it. Do it from your heart, ignore the negativities. You can’t dominate them until you despise them. Those two men said we are able to take the land. The other ten said oh no! They are like giants, we are like grasshoppers. Church Gist. That is why you are hoping. Grasshoppers hop, you are an eagle so soar. Can fire be a threat to an eagle? Where is it burning? He lives above where the fire burns. That is where you are. Whatever is from above is above all, you are above those things that hold them bound, that get them threatened, that make them lose hope in the future. You are above that realm and praise is one way to dwell in that realm.
Lift your hands and celebrate this God who has brought you to live under the fresh oil. Celebrate Him and magnify Him, no one like our God.
I need you to know that this God is faithful, last Sunday we had from our new converts 1209 that registered for membership. No one like Jesus. Of the converts in my outreach team, last Sunday we had 810 first-timers that came to Church. To the glory of His praise. That is how to move, that is how to celebrate God. He is always working around your life but you are too busy to see it. Church Gist. You have learnt all that is working to be hunting after what is not working and they keep multiplying because you won’t acknowledge what is working so more are not working. No more! Anybody who invites you for complain, tell him I am sorry, I have left that realm. Come oh things are not working in Nigeria. That’s for you, they are working for me.
Psalm 33:18-19. This covenant has no respect for circumstances and situations. Our churches are in the inter land of the northern north. How dare you? The Lion sits there. His name is Jesus, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. You can be in the midst of trouble and not know it when you walk in the light of God’s word. When you do what God says, you are just alive. In the region of death, you are just awake. Church Gist. I like you to just know that your case is different. Psalm 37:18-19. We serve a covenant-keeping God. What He is saying is praise me and watch me show up in your matter. Praise me and watch my fresh oil come upon your life and change your story.
Lift those two hands and thank Him for making your case different by redemption.
- No devil can take your life.
- No circumstance can terminate your life, your children or your grandchildren.
- No devil will rob you of your destiny or your future,
- The fresh oil will come and the effects shall be visible for all to see.
Hallelujah.
- The fresh oil on you will never run dry. Your victory over all the forces of hell shall remain permanent.
- No devil takes any of us for a ride anymore.
- Bitterness, murmuring and complaining, offences are all in our lives.
- This shall be a month of change of level for you.
- You are coming out of that valley finally.
- This praise season will get you up on your high places.
- The grace to keep praising all through life receive it now.
- Everyone shall experience a visitation tonight.
- The effect of this fresh oil shall be everywhere around your life and so shall it be.
It is not wisdom to know the truth, it is knowing and doing the truth that is wisdom. Quoting scripture like a parrot doesn’t change a story but putting what He shows you to work is what does. My prayer is that you won’t toy with this praise season. It is ordained for something awesome in everyone’s life and you shall not miss it. Locate songs that speak, don’t just be dancing to notes you are not a board. Dance to songs, it is those words that fire the praise power into your life and turns those nuts loose. Get your local songs, you don’t have to be American to praise God. He redeemed us from every tribe and tongue. Church Gist. Sing naturally, dance naturally. Don’t wave your hands and say “I thank you God”, call Him Oluwa Oh! I was listening to a song and I didn’t understand what they are saying, I said this is foolishness. The song that changes story is the song that speaks. It is not the one you are trying to find out what they are saying, you get the one you find what they are saying. So when you are dancing, you are dancing with understanding. Let them praise Him in the dance. You have to dance, to dance get danceable music. The praise power here is following you home and shall abide with you for life.
