I WAS IN EMBASSY SUITES, TULSA WHEN THE LORD SAID TO ME: ARISE, GET BACK HOME AND MAKE MY PEOPLE RICH.
FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE IS NOT A TOPIC I PREACH, IT IS A MANDATE I RECEIVED
WE ARE BUILDING A MASSIVE SANCTUARY IN PORT-HARCOURT CALLED THE HAND OF GOD
THE ARK HAS 129 ESCALATORS, 1000 TOILETS, 20,000 SPACES FOR CHILDREN.
NOT A DIME FROM AMERICA IS IN IT.
WHO WILL DARE THAT WITHOUT ACCESS TO A COVENANT TABLE OF PROSPERITY?
I’VE NEVER CALLED ANY OF MY SONS OR DAUGHTERS IN AUTHORITY TO BEG FOR ANYTHING
WE PAY OVER 38,000 PEOPLE EVERY MONTH IN THIS COMMISSION WITHOUT STRESS
THE DEBT PORTFOLIO OF VARIOUS NATIONS IS RISING BY THE DAY AND THE CHURCH HAS NO DEBT
NO ONE CAN BE EMPOWERED FOR WEALTH WITHOUT ENTERING INTO THE COVENANT OF ABUNDANCE
WE ARE SHOWN LIGHT BY THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN LIGHT
IF YOU DESPISE THE COVENANT, YOU END UP WITH MOCKERY
NO BELIEVER CAN PROSPER ON HIS OWN TERMS
OUR GIVING IS NOT A FINANCIAL DONATION, IT’S A SEED
JESUS IN HEAVEN IS THE RECEIVER OF TITHES NOT THE CHURCH. TITHING IS A SPIRITUAL TRANSACTION.
THAT MASSIVE PROJECT (THE ARK) GOING ON, WE ARE YET TO TAKE AN OFFERING. WHEN THE HEAVENS OPEN, NO MAN HAS THE CAPACITY TO MATCH IT.
NO ONE HAS THE CAPACITY TO MATCH AN OPEN HEAVEN. OPEN HEAVEN DRAWS ON THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY
WHEN YOU KNOW THAT GOD IS NOT DEPENDING ON YOU, YOU WILL DO THIS THING WILLINGLY AND JOYFULLY. YOU ARE HELPING THE POOR, IT IS A PRIVILEGE
GOD IS NOT DEPENDING ON YOU, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
PLEASE TAKE OFF A DONATION MENTALITY FROM YOUR GIVING. SEE YOUR GIVING AS A SEED. GOD IS NOT IN NEED
- Bishop David Oyedepo at SHILOH 2022 || COVENANT HIGHWAYS || Day 4 Encounter Night || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Jesus said, If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. John 10:37.
He was preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom. Every preaching that does not show is not worth following. Every preaching of the truth shows in the life of those who receive it.
Jesus was preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom. May the words received by you in truth and in deed begin to show in your lives!
I’m getting on one core of the mandate received from the Lord tonight.
I’m glad I have some friends of mine from Tulsa tonight. Amen. Church Gist. And I can tell you it has changed the face of the faith in this part of the world specifically. I was in Embassy Suites, Tulsa when the Lord said to me, Arise, get back home and make my people rich. Sounded clear! I thought it was going to be an overnight thing, so I rushed down. Over time, it began to show in the lives of those who received it. Tonight, my God who sent me, will mail poverty, lack and want to the board in your life!
It’s not my message is my mandate. The topic of financial abundance is not a message I like to preach, it’s a mandate I received.
My eyes saw, I looked upon it well and my hand handles it.
I heard it from God, I saw it in His word, I looked upon it well, and my hand began to handle it. Church Gist. Both personally and in te lives of all those who receive it.
We are not clowns, we are messengers of God’s high calling.
If you receive what He sent me, you will laugh.
A number of my sons and daughters in ministry are smiling today because I answered the call to teach the world when nobody believed me.
Today, you wear bow tie with suit (speaking to Dr Pastor Paul Enenche). We used to wear short sleeves and sandals and tuck in, everywhere I go, like that is righteousness. But everything changed!
Something must change in your life tonight!
Lord, help me to see it and help me to handle it! Go ahead and pray!
Help me to handle! Help me to see it and help me to handle it!
In Jesus Precious name we have prayed!
May your hearing be blessed!May your understanding be blessed! May your response be blessed!
Give the Lord a big hand of praise and please you may be seated.
“Get back home and make my people rich”, August 27,1987.
We dedicated the Dome in Abuja some years back, we are about dedicating another massive sanctuary in Port-Harcourt. I saw people lining up to go to restroom in that place. The Ark has 1,000 toilets. You don’t need five minutes to get in and get out of the floors. Church Gist. There are 129 escalators to get to where you are going at any point in time. I saw the married folks this morning, I said, We already have room for you. There are 20,000 spaces for children which is expansion.
Who will dare that without access to a covenant table of prosperity?
Not a dime from America is in it!
All Shiloh sacrifices of last year were vested in the various nations. Not a dime transferred to Nigeria. You are listening to a messenger with a mandate. Clean and clear, that is showing in the lives of many. No prophet can force the word he receives on you. He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward.
One of my sons came on here today and said, Daddy, I brought this for you. I said I don’t need it. He said, Sir please, please. I said, No, I’m not making mouth. I have never needed it, not that I’m just talking.
1990, I got back, he gave me an envelope. I said, I hope it’s your money. 1990. You are not there.
So it’s not a game. The covenant is not a game. We have flourished under all governments in this nation. Unstoppably. Coro, 5,000 churches planted. What is coro? Coro lingered on, 10,000 churches planted. 1,300 churches across the nations of the world. Church Gist. Without any reference to any bank.
Now my God who sent me, if you care to receive what He sent me to give you. Like a number of us here have received and it’s showing. It’s showing!
I’ve never begged, never borrowed. 1 John 1:3. I’ve never called any of my sons or daughters in authority, “please na”. Church Gist. We have men and women raised by God in this commission, none has received a call from me once on something needed by God.
- your days of begging must end here today!
Now, quickly, let me separate between intellectual knowledge and spiritual understanding, it’s a wide gap. The world by their wisdom has not found God. Church Gist. Colossians 1:9. All these intellectual debates won’t take you anywhere, spiritual understanding of the truth is what engenders outstanding results. 1 Corinthians 2:14.
We pay over 38,000 people, the last time I knew, in this commission every month, no prayer point. There has never been one day of anxiety. Church Gist. We bought properties across the nations of the world, no stress.
- financial stress must end in your life.
We are in the last days, the days of financial fortune downpour in the body of Christ. I will show you what God has shown me about this day that we’re living in. So, I’m not asking somebody to win election so we can get something from him, no, you don’t need to even win election. Church Gist. It’s not part of the covenant sir. We are talking about His riches in glory, not all these dying and growing economy. It’s access to His riches in glory, access to the windows of Heaven – no depression there.
The world is going to come under some hardship, Malachi 4:1, language will dry, grammar will finish. Listen to me, prophetic agenda cannot be prayed off, you can only take cover not to be a victim. Church Gist. Sir, any nation now poses not to be going through economic strain is struggling, she’s just posing. The debt portfolio of various nations is rising by the day and the Church has no debt. No bank will ever say we approached them, all we say is, “bring us our money” and they’ll be begging us, some are begging us now. Church Gist. “We didn’t give you, we kept it with you”.
You never know that we have sons and daughters in every notable, sensitive high place across this nation and across the nations of the world. Church Gist. Not one has been called privately under any condition.
- my prayer is that today marks the end of every financial struggle in your life.
Let’s first unravel the mystery of the covenant of abundance. Remember from all the introductions I’ve done in my series on “Unveiling the Covenant Highways of Life”. A covenant is simply knowing the provision and understanding the conditions. Knowing the provisions available and understanding the conditions that will make those provisions a reality. For instance, Christ has obtained for us power, know what it takes to be empowered. Church Gist. The provision of empowerment is set, the condition must be met for anyone to realize it. Revelation 5:12. He also obtained for us riches. It’s not enough to know that riches have been provided for, we must get to know the conditions that entitles anyone to his riches. 2 Corinthians 8:9. We must know the conditions that entitles us to operate in that realm, that’s what they call a covenant. Church Gist. His financial plans operate on the platform of the covenant. We are empowered for wealth on the platform of the covenant. Stop using headache medication for stomach ache.
No one can be empowered for wealth no matter his level of prayer and fasting without entering into the covenant of abundance. Church Gist. Please note, this will humble everyone of us, by Divine design, everyone enters into it through a revelation given to another. Hosea prospered walking in the revelation of Zechariah. So, we are shown light by those who have seen light. Don’t say, “God has not told me”, that’s why God told me to tell you. Church Gist. I’m walking in the revelation of Copeland, God showed him, he showed me. He made me to know it’s real, so I went to find out how to make it real in my life.
Don’t wait to manufacture a car before you ride one, you may not ride till you die because you’re not equipped for it. God told me to tell you what I’m telling you. Church Gist. If you despise the covenant, you end up with mockery. I’ve not seen a dime of book money in my life since 1985, by covenant. I can’t sell a gift, the Lord gave the Word. “My product, my product”, that’s why nobody is buying. Life is not a game, empowerment for wealth is not a game, it’s not bribery. Church Gist. Please buy into these things. Proverbs 23:23.
A covenant is a deal enacted by God based on well defined terms and sealed with an oath. “I vow to do this if you will do this. I vow to empower you for wealth if you’ll operate on the covenant terms that I have set up. Church Gist. It’s a fulfilment of my covenant, it’s not on your terms but on my terms”. Empowerment for wealth is not on my terms or your terms, it’s on His terms. Crying won’t empower you for wealth, prayer of agreement and disagreement won’t help you. Church Gist. All night prayer without ending, you’ll only get poorer but “thou shall remember the Lord for it is He that giveth thee Power to get wealth”. Deuteronomy 8:18.
No believer can prosper on his own terms. God’s prosperity agenda is on God’s own terms. The covenant of abundance operates on seed time and harvest. You will never see any harvest without a seed preceding it. Genesis 8:22. Church Gist. As long as humans are on this earth, no one is entitled to harvest from a seed not sown. God said to me 40 years ago while I went in prayers with Kenneth Copeland’s book, “The Law of Prosperity”, his wife’s book, ‘God’s will in Prosperity’ and I was searching and praying to understand the secret of Kingdom prosperity. Church Gist. My son in the gospel was with me, each one in his place and on the third day, light broke out. “My son David, my prosperity plan is not a promise, it doesn’t answer to prayers, so don’t pray prosperity. It’s not a promise, it has no respect for fasting. My prosperity plan is a covenant and until your part is played, I am not committed”. God is not committed to prospering anyone who will disregard the terms of the covenant of abundance. No Apostolic prayer can prosper a man that is not a giver. You can say Amen the loudest, but God never blesses disobedience, no matter the shout of the Amen.
- somebody’s story is changing.
I asked the Lord, “how reliable is this covenant?” Then, supernaturally He took me to Jeremiah, not that I studied it before. Jeremiah 33:20-21. Church Gist. Simply saying, my covenant with the redeemed is as reliable as my covenant of the day and the night. He said to me, “Son, anytime you look up, you see the sun, know that my covenant is in force. If you wake up in the night and see the moon, then know that my covenant is in force”. It’s at that point that I shouted, “Yeah, I can never be poor”.
- today, that exclamation will become your personal exclamation!
Therefore, our giving is not a financial donation, it’s a seed. There are so many individuals in their various churches, they look like they sponsor us, you better be careful, you’re too small to sponsor God. God never requires a sponsor. Church Gist. God is not asking us to give so we can meet His need, God has no need. Haggai 2:8. Psalm 24:1. I said in Kaduna many years ago, my son was there, I said, “stop giving and see if anything stops” and a family told me later that they stopped and watched everything still going but they were going down.
Good understanding procures favour, but the way of the transgressor is hard – Proverbs 13:15. We need a spiritual understanding of this, God will never need my help. My help comes from Him. He said all these things my hand has made. What are you giving me? Is it not from what I gave you? We need this humbling understanding. You are down it is God, you are up it is God, you are in between it is God. I AM that I AM. You can’t make me less than what I am and you can’t make me more than what I am. My fellow labourers who are pastors. Stop telling people that God needs them. You see that massive project going on, we are yet to take an offering. Stop. Don’t let God get angry with you. When the heavens open, no man has the capacity to match it. No one has the capacity to match an open heaven. Open heaven draws on riches of His glory. All God is asking is look, I have this provision for you, if you are interested come and enjoy my blessing. Church Gist. I will never need your help. I was going to Enugu years ago and the Lord told me to tell them. It was a Full Gospel Seminar. God told me to tell you that far be it from Him that He the Almighty will depend upon your wretched purses. Your wretched purses depend on me for replenishing. I have told them to not invite him before, now see what he is saying. 1987! Jesus is Lord.
When you know that God is not depending on you, you will do this thing willingly and joyfully. You are helping the poor, it is a privilege. I met someone who was staying outside there and I said they should get a house for her and the children. I said they should also get furniture. Somebody just stood up and I will furnish it for them please. God is not depending on you, it is an opportunity. How many of us are feeding the wild beasts? Why are they still there? How many are feeding the birds in the air? Why are they still there? Some people are just collecting money and say they are feeding people. How much of their money is in it? God keeps. You are not a giver, you are just a fundraiser. My old man said when I asked him to start selling his properties. He said where will I pay my tithe from? I said from what we gave you. God knows who gave what. He said I will pay my tithe from my income. He was an old man that couldn’t read. Somebody’s story is charging. You never suffer in the hand of the devourer again. Please take off a donation mentality from your giving. See your giving as a seed. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8. God is not in need. Giving is sowing. It is not donating. It is sowing a seed. We saw all through the scriptures that giving is a spiritual transaction for provoking divine supplies. Noah reared an altar of sacrifice, God smelt it heaven. It is a spiritual transaction. Genesis 8:20-22. It answers in heaven. David reared an altar of sacrifice and God spoke from heaven. 2 Samuel 24:16. Solomon gave an offering at Gibeon (1 Kings 3:3) and God responded from heaven, what do you want Solomon? Church Gist. This is the mystery behind giving. It answers in heaven. Hebrews 7:8. Jesus in heaven is the receiver of tithes, not the ushers, not the church. We need a spiritual understanding of the transaction that takes place with our seed. It answers in heaven for heaven’s response. You need to know this. We have been giving to this church, the Church can’t bless you. You won’t get anything. It goes to heaven. Psalm 41:1. The Lord in heaven will deliver him from trouble not the Church. It is a spiritual transaction between the earth and heaven. If you know how many people want me to be off, you will be afraid but God said if you come near I will show you pepper. The Lord will deliver Him from trouble. You see a man dying and you say no! He must not die. You carry him to the hospital, every cost I will pay for it. Church Gist. Psalm 41:2-3. It is a spiritual transaction. Stop saying you gave to the Church, I gave the door, I gave 10 chairs. I gave to the Church. I am a giver to the Church. The Church does not have the key to the windows of heaven. Does any of you have the key? The Holder of the Key of David is in heaven. He is the one that receives your tithe and opens a heavenly response. When you give to the needy, He is the one that responds from heaven. He will defend you from satanic assault.
It is a seminar but we will soon finish. If we don’t finish tonight, we finish tomorrow. Paul was preaching all night one man fell down. There is nowhere to fall down from here. The CCU are there to help you. My seed sowing is a spiritual transaction that answers in heaven with response to my life in terms of blessings. The days of lack and want are over in your life. There is a story of this typical elephant that I saw in a zoo in America many years ago. This typical elephant consumes 140 pounds of straw per day. I don’t know what that translates to in kilograms. It discharges 100 pounds of manure per day. When you see the feces of an elephant it is a molehill. It discharges and marches carefully so that it won’t touch its body. Otherwise, it will die. Under giving is killing many. Spiritual covenant constipation is killing many. Consumes like an elephant discharges like a cow. They are choking, pressure everywhere. As God has blessed anyone, let him give. Let him give to the level that he is blessed. There is what I will give to God today as a sacrifice, he can slap me. No! That is not a sacrifice. He won’t take that from me. He knows the blessings He has put on my life. Lord take my sacrifice. Are you sick? No Sir. You are sick and you don’t know you are suffering from constipation. I have experienced constipation before, it is very painful. You will be looking like a pregnant woman, the temperature is rising. That is the plague of many in the Church. They have been promoted 10 times, it hasn’t affected their giving. I don’t know what is happening to me. I know, it is covenant constipation. You need medication. This is a diagnostic centre for financial diseases. My job is to show you where your problem is coming from and show you if you are interested. If you need surgical operations I take you to the theatre and pump it out of you. It is your turn. Many will leave here more refreshed. My wife and I have never discussed any financial issues in this ministry. She’s sitting here, you can ask her. Because you see her just dressing every day. My own is uniform. Zero tension that is your new realm, zero tension in your business, In your family. That is your new realm.
Everything living by that covenant stays alive by giving. You give out your carbon dioxide, the plant consumes it to make her food and the plant gives you back oxygen which you consume. It is a transaction. When you stop breathing, you start dying. If you don’t stop on time you will be dead. Can you imagine a farmer who stops farming because he has farmed for a long time? The day he stops farming, he starts going through famine, lack and want. The day a believer stops giving, he has stopped breathing financially. He will start choking if he does not respond on time. Giving is living. Giving is breathing out from what you have consumed. Many will be free and discharged from the plague of covenant constipation from this service. Church Gist. Our new understanding of the spiritual dimension of seed sowing will empower your giving life for life. Jesus has been receiving my tithe consistently, in season and out of season since he showed me. So don’t be angry that I am living under an open heaven. I have always seen kingdom Opportunities in everything God is doing. It is an opportunity for a change of story. I started desiring to build churches when I had no bank account. If it is in your heart, God will put it in your hand. My wife and I built 100 churches in one year. Access to these riches in glory is open to all but not all find the way. They think it is by games. It is your turn. Your days of struggling for survival are over. Deuteronomy 16:17.
The beauty of the covenant is you can start from where you are. The tithe of #10 is #1. There is no geography or arithmetic about it but the tithe of 10,000 is not #1. Stop abusing the covenant. The tithe of #10,000. When you mark your envelope my tithe, the angel will say stop insulting God. I will take this to God as your offering. Many people think they are tithing, if it is less than tithe it is transferred to offering account. So no window opens, just blessings on what to eat and drink. Heaven is full of order. So when you tithe less than your tithe, it is transferred to offering account. Church Gist. The reason I hired an accountant in 1990 is to ensure my tithe is not abused. Oh somebody gave me something, let’s assume. No assumption. I needed my own accounting office to be accountable in my covenant practice. No assumption. You see the little house we live in called the mandate. Your church has not one dime in it. If I don’t have my own account how will you believe that. Is it wrong? No, it is not wrong. Since He gave us the privilege and the ability let’s do it. He has given us grace, we are moving fast.
Matthew 6:32. God does not see money as evil. It is the love of money that is evil. 1 Timothy 6:10. That is why Jesus died among other things to make us rich and God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. Church Gist. God is not angry with our prosperity, it came from Him. Psalm 35:27. Job 36:11. So prosperity is not seen as evil in the sight of God.
Please note the following as we round up.
- We are not redeemed to be a burden. We are redeemed to be a blessing to our world.
Wherever anybody maybe today. God’s agenda in redemption is for us to be a blessing to our world. We are the seed of Abraham. Church Gist. Galatians 3:29. Every child of God is a seed of Abraham. We are redeemed to be a blessing to the world and not a burden. Whatever makes anybody look like a burden today is lifted forever. - Also, note that we are redeemed to endure not to enjoy life.
John 10:10. 1 Timothy 6:17. Redemption is not to endure life, it is to enjoy life. The days of enduring living are over in your life. Jesus said go, feed the hungry. He must be talking to those who have extra food. Clothe the naked, he must be talking to those who have extra clothes. We are the ones he is talking about. I am going to clothe you, I am going to give you more food than you can consume. I am going to give you more shelter than for yourselves. So go and be a blessing to your world. Matthew 25:31-40. The reason he said feed the hungry is that you are not permitted to be listed among the hungry. Clothe the naked, you are not permitted to be listed among the naked. Give shelter to the homeless, you aren’t permitted or your generations to be homeless. So I bless you, provide for them on my behalf. Church Gist. Our foundation runs several orphanages as God has blessed us to see that they eat and they drink. That is the ministry of every believer in prosperity. It is not a consumer’s business, it is a distributor’s business. 1 Timothy 6:18. Let them be willing to distribute to avoid spiritual constipation and ultimate death. It begins with discomfort and then death follows. The rich man died under the weight of his prosperity. Somebody’s story is changing. Some people have kept money, the money is rotting away so they are rotting away with it. When they die it is over. All these are proofs that money is not evil, it is to make the believer add value to his or her world. Please note that God will bless people to the level of their spirituality. 3 John 2. God blesses you to the level of the prosperity of your soul. Not spiritual garage boys, to the level of the prosperity of your soul so it will not destroy you and I. So keep developing an affinity for God. Church Gist. Keep serving God with delight. Keep your hunger and thirst. His favour will keep changing your story from level to level. It is not magic. There is nothing mystical about kingdom prosperity, it is just to know what it takes.
Job 22:21-26. So you are built up to step into this strange realm of abundance with God reigning at the centre of your life. With His kingdom being your delight.
Job 22:25. You are built up so it won’t kill you. Built up. Wealth destroyed Solomon! You need a lot of money to marry 300 wives, provide apartments for 300 wives and 700 concubines. He had no spiritual capacity. It ruined him. I’ve told Jesus, whatever you will give me that will ruin me, don’t make me have it.
You better wake up! God said, If I give you what you are asking me, you will die. You don’t have the stamina. Immediately your wife will no longer be your wife. Church Gist. My God! Then shalt thou be built up. You shall be built up. And you shall put iniquity away from your tabernacle. Then shall thou lay up good as dust.
Get acquainted with the law and words that make the law to work. Get built up spiritually! Without a heart for God, there is a limit to what blessing you can receive from heaven. He can’t trust you with it. Kingdom wealth is not acquired, it is entrusted. If you have not been faithful in unrighteous Mammon, who shall commit to your trust the true riches? Luke 16:11.
Too many people play nonsense games around in the name of being Christians. Games, games, games!
Can you be trusted with Heaven’s jewels? To what level? If you see a billion dollars today, will you be willing to pay tithe with delight?
God just checks you on the computer, He says, No no no, this boy, don’t try it. I know him.
You know God said, I know Abraham, I know him. God knows everyone and loves them till death. Church Gist. If I put that thing in your hand, I won’t see you again. I know I won’t see you, no matter what you are telling me.
Oh God I love you, more than I love myself.
You shall be built up. The level of financial fortune God will entrust to you will be determined by your level of spiritual stamina.
Thank you Jesus.
A young lady came from outside Lagos and said they made a vow to God that the first million they would get will be sowed as a seed to her father.
I said, Wait a minute, tell me your story. She told me the story that her mother passed on and a pastor who loved the family gave her a million to set the pace for her new phase of life and business.
And God said for me to bless it so that it can prosper in her hand. So, I bless it and it will produce maximally in your life. The lady called the man that gave it, a pastor, a family man and said “Daddy (did not take it)…” He said, I know Daddy. I know, I know.
I blessed it and gave it to her back. My God! Church Gist. God sent her to me for me to bless it. Not for me to take it.
You are going places!
Can you be trusted?
Luke 16:11. If you have not been faithful at your level, when would that level ever change? Your tithe at 1000 naira is not regular, when will He give you 10,000?
Your seed at 50,000 is still your seed at 200,000. You are not qualified for the next level. You are not.
This is how He said go and make them rich to teach them the way to His riches. 2 Corinthians 6:10. Many are being rescued right now as you are hearing me because you are leaving here with a new approach.
Thank you Jesus!
Why God blesses:
- To promote His kingdom.
Through prosperity shall my house be spread abroad. Zechariah 1:17. Before Jesus returns, the Gospel of this earth shall be preached among all nations and then the end come.
You can’t serve God and Mammon. Make Him your priority in your financial seed sowing.
Let my kingdom be first in your consideration and all these things shall be added to you.
Haggai 1:5-13
Consider your ways. When God takes pleasure in anything, He unleashes His Favour on kingdom promoters. Church Gist. He opens the Heavens over them.
We are blessed primarily to promote His kingdom. A kingdom mindset is your launching pad to the highways of financial prosperity.
I turned my back to all that I am and all that I have. They are no longer mine. That was the vow I made 46 years ago.
Kingdom promotion addicts flows sweatlessly in financial fortune. And that’s you God is talking about.
Now as we close, what are the fringe benefits that accompany the covenant of abundance?
Proverbs 10:22.
- It averts generational curses with capacity to avert the curse of God upon the earth.
The sacrifice of Noah brought an end to the curse of God on the earth.
Genesis 8:21. Your sacrifice has averted the curse.
You can’t run away from curses. Church Gist. You go to America, curses follow you. To Jamaica, it follows you. You just need to know how to break them. Among the channels for breaking curses is the covenant of abundance because it doesn’t allow sorrow to accompany His blessings. It averts curses. The curse of eating from the sweat of your brow is averted. The curse of begging on the street is averted.
I will no longer curse the earth anymore for man’s sake.
- It engenders divine health.
The world says, health is wealth. Psalms 41:1-3. The covenant of abundance guarantees divine health. Therefore for everyone who connects with it, you will not know the meaning of sickness in your life!
John 15:2. Every parasite of sickness and disease gets off your life right now! - It secures divine protection. Psalms 20:1-3.
Job 22:25. The world will get angry but they can’t do anything about it. They can’t come near you. If they come, they freeze, they fry because the Lord is your defense through the covenant of giving and receiving. - It averts plagues
2 Samuel 24:24.
During CORO, we had this crowd at Shiloh. Everybody went back hale and hearty. Tested at the airport, nothing. It averts plagues. Church Gist.
We had that center they were creating that time where they quarantine people, Isolation Centre. We had one in Covenant University. There was nobody.
Some people even mentioned this church, that how many people can this church take for isolation center. They were saying that on social media. That everybody will die! Those who said it have died. The power station of God!
Nobody was sneezing in church.
🎵Oh Lord I praise you🎶
We were shaking hands! Nobody did like this in this church(elbow shake). Bring your hand my friend!
🎵We exalt your name/Let your name be praised/Oh Lord you’re a wonderful God Amen🎶
The centers were weeping. What?? The covenant averts plagues. Church Gist. Hear me sir and let the world hear: Never again will the doors to the churches be shut. Never! Amen.
Satan lost out. Our covenant practice averts plagues.
The first Ebola case mentioned, I knew. They brought to me. I’m sent to heal the sick , they didn’t even know what it was but I laid hands. Am I Ebola-ed?
All these “Don’t greet your father, don’t greet your mother, it’s the devil!”
Your father is an old man, you abandoned him. May your children not abandon you when you are old!
The people in charge didn’t know it was the devil at work sir. They didn’t know. Some are still sympathizing with CORO up till now, they are not free from it.
“I don’t want to be in the crowd.” Be in the grave! Amen!
C’mon give the Lord a big hand of praise. Amen!
- It secures longevity.
Covenant practice secures longevity. Abraham, our covenant father, died in a good old age. No devil will cut short your life!
Abraham will give anything just like God the father. Genesis 25:8 Isaiah 41:8.
God gave His only begotten Son, Abraham gave the only son that God gave him, the son of promise. “The Lord shall keep him alive, He shall preserve him. He shall not give him to the will of his enemy because he’s in the covenant” – Psalm 41:2.
Among the blessings of the covenant is the good old age. Isaiah 65:20. Every seed you give secures a harvest and God is releasing the harvest little by little and He won’t owe anybody when we get to Heaven. Church Gist. So, the more you give, the longer you live. You sow a seed today, you won’t die tomorrow because you’re going to get the harvest before you die. You can’t go to heaven with God owing you, the blessing must come. Church Gist. So, you keep giving, you keep living.
- that’s your new realm in the name of Jesus!
We enjoy, among other things, supernatural fruitfulness. Exodus 23:26. Psalm 112:1-3. We secure access to divine ideas. Covenant practitioners don’t run out of ideas. Church Gist. Inspired ideas are given as He opens the Heaven and pours out the anointing on us that makes men of quick understanding. Givers don’t run out of inspired ideas. Inspired ideas will always produce results. Church Gist. When God opened the windows of Heaven, it was rain that came down in Genesis and the rain iis the Anointing, it makes people of quick understanding. Isaiah 11:3. Church Gist. So, consistent givers never run out of inspired ideas, they live in the realm of ceaseless inspiration by the outpouring of rain of Heaven upon their lives.
- in the name of Jesus, all these blessings that constitute the free benefits of covenant practice in the school of abundance will begin to manifest in your life!
Finally, it stimulates joy unspeakable. You can’t stop the joy of givers. 2 Corinthians 8:1-3. Church Gist. Abundance of joy inspite of poverty and lack, abundance of joy. Church Gist. Every covenant-oriented seed sower exudes with joy uncontrollably, joy unspeakable, full of glory. Covenant practitioner givers never get depressed, they’re overly excited from time to time in every condition. Joy unspeakable, full of glory! 2 Corinthians 8:4.
- your days of depression are over! Your days of being downcast, they’re over!
- somebody blessed tonight, shout, “Halleluja!”
- lift up your two hands and celebrate God for the light. Light is sweet, it’s a beautiful thing for the eyes to behold the sun. Celebrate God for the light.
- the days of lack and want are over in your life!
- you’re a seed of Abraham, there’s no poverty in your lineage.
- lift up your hand and give God thanks.
Our redemptive packages that Christ obtained for us is Riches. Revelation 5:12. We are talking about Heavenly Riches, it’s the exclusive reserve of the children of God. Church Gist. No gate-crashing. You’re not born again, it doesn’t answer. Of course, there are teachings going on today that anybody who gives, whether you’re a believer or not, you have your harvest, you have your chances. The covenant answers only to the redeemed. Church Gist. Jesus obtained it not for the multitude but for the redeemed. He became poor for us, that we through His poverty might be made rich, so it begins with you becoming a child of God, accepting Christ into your life. That’s where the journey to sweatless wealth, concern-free wealth, anxiety-free wealth. I know my generations will not know the meaning of poverty, I know, I’ve led the way by grace to securing the generations after me according to Psalm 112:1 to the end. Church Gist. There are many philanthropists, they just throw money away for what they want to get, fame. Just have covenant sense, engage covenant discretion, God first! Then you will enjoy the dignity of wealth, wealth without anybody laying claim to it, wealth without a human hand.
ALTAR CALL
Nothing changes people’s story like access to Light. It turns ordinary men to nations. “Arise, Shine, your light is come”, “a small one shall become a thousand and a little one a strong nation, I the Lord will hasten it in its time”. Church Gist. Sometimes back and about three times running, this short man (himself) has been named the wealthiest Pastor in the world and they’re not lying. Light is sweet, it’s a beautiful thing for the eyes to behold the sun. Somebody who does not borrow and does not beg, what do you call him? Wealthy. Church Gist. It’s not what you stack up, it’s your impact. You’re not a millionaire by having a million, but impacting on a million lives and there are very few who are millionaires indeed.
- many covenant millionaires will rise here whose impact will be seen on millions.
What you accumulate is not your worth, the impact of what it gives you on others is your worth. Church Gist. The grace to be willing to distribute, ready to communicate is what you need to walk in continuous growing financial fortune with God, not to show off, but to impact on lives.
- I see you building Churches for Jesus in increasing numbers.
- I see someone coming to me, “look sir, how many Churches are we building in Chad” and I said, “ten”. “Leave that to us, by the grace of God, we will do it”!
- I see you building orphanages and providing covering for motherless people’s homes.
That impact is not what you kept, it’s what you give that impacts on others. What you have is your cup of tea. Church Gist. People need to know this. Years ago in this part of the world, we go around the world to beg for God’s work to move but Light came and we saw that the future is not in asking for help, it’s in obeying God. You obey God, He changes your story. If this does not change your perspective, I can’t do anything anymore. Church Gist. If you still go into poverty after all these, it’s your problem. God will not hold me responsible. I’ve poured out my soul, I’ve told you inside stories, I’ve shared my personal life with you. We are not robbers, we are helpers of people, we are helpers of the helpless.
I have two academics in this University, they were on my scholarship while they were in school, we didn’t have a university then. Church Gist. We invest in multimillions annually on scholarships. My family started that in 1992 with our 10, 10kobo. Wake up! All this showoff is not prosperity, it’s show on others. At your level, start somewhere my friend!
- you’re going somewhere! Satan has lost the battle over your financial rest and destiny
- your financial heritage shall not be sold for a portion of meat.
Nigerians, hear me, you run to America, it’s not equal to prosperity. There are many poor people in every nation. There’s no nation immune to poverty. Church Gist. If you’re not a giver, run to Australia, you’ll still be a pauper. Work in oil company, nobody will know you’re working in oil company, they will think you’re working in local government. Church Gist. If you’re not a giver, you cannot prosper. It’s not a curse, it’s a covenant term.
- the grace to ever be willing to distribute, ready to communicate under all circumstances, lift up your two hands and get it.
There was that unique grace upon the Macedonian Church. 2 Corinthians 8:7.
- I release upon everyone upon the sound of my voice around the world today, receive that giving grace! Receive that tireless giving grace! Receive that order of giving grace that will keep you rejoicing in season and out of season, that will make giving a delight of your soul, in the name of Jesus.
One way secures eternal life is this, people who give don’t steal because they’ll still give it and those who steal don’t give. Church Gist. It protects eternity.
- my prayer is that that giving grace follows you from Shiloh ground.
You want to keep walking in that financial fortune, avoid ‘smart’ practices in your financial dealings. God does not bless the crooked. Stop playing games, avoid it. “The curse is seen in the house of the thief” – avoid it! Avoid waste. Church Gist. Wasters today will end up as beggars tomorrow.
- I pray that this will go with you and stay with you.
Abraham never engaged in ‘sharp’ practices and he became an emperor with an army to himself. Don’t. God hates waste. Proverbs 13:9. Church Gist. You’re a waster today, you’re a beggar tomorrow, you share a common heritage with the slothful. Every waster ends up in want.
- grace to engage discretion in your financial dealings, receive it now in the name of Jesus!
Listen, your tithe belongs to your spiritual store house where you receive your spiritual supplies. You’re not a philanthropist, engage Biblical sense. Church Gist. Your tithe is to be brought to the storehouse where your spiritual resources are being supplied, otherwise, supply will stop. Don’t let those shouting on Tv confuse you.
- my prayer is that the era of waste harming your financial resources be over today!
- the era of ‘consume it all’, the seed plus the bread ends today, in the name of Jesus!
- give Him thanks.
- The Spirit behind the workings here will follow everyone back home
- the smiles on your faces will never be wiped off.
- the joy in your heart will never run dry
- your breakthrough will be undeniable
- your life shall be from glory to glory
- your path shall be shining brighter and brighter to the perfect day
- as we have never known a setback in 41 years, your life will never know a setback again
- as the peace of good has not eluded us in 41 years, the peace of God will not elude you anymore!
- as we have not had to borrow in 41 years, your days of borrowing shall be over!
- between now and the next Shiloh, not one soul here shall be missing! Not one shall be in the grave!
- not one here will bury their children!
