DONT EVER GO TO FELLOWSHIP TO LOOK AROUND. GRAB YOUR NOTES!
- Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP
Shall we lift up our two hands to heaven and give God thanks for answered prayers this morning. Now, ask Him to speak to you this morning. Lord let your Word locate me this morning, grant me an encounter with your Word this morning.
The church is the fireplace where our walk with God and love for God is rekindled. My prayer is that every one of us will remain not just committed but addicted to fellowship.
Psalms 84:1,7,11
Heavenly Father speak to us this morning and let your word enlighten, rekindle and illuminate our lives in the name of Jesus Christ.
UNDERSTANDING THE WONDERS OF BEEN COMMITTED TO REGULAR FELLOWSHIP
Proverbs 21:16
Spiritual understanding energizes, spiritual understanding enhances our profiting in the kingdom.
Mathew 13:23
The only variable there is understanding, the one that understands better produces better result. In all your getting, get understanding. Church Gist. The reason why many have not signed up to Mathew 6:33 is because they don’t understand it. You can’t see that blank cheque and not sign up. You can’t understand it and not buy into it. If you understand, you won’t need one encouragement in your life.
You can’t understand tithing and be negotiating it. You can’t understand giving to the poor and not engage with it fully. How much we get out of any spiritual truth is determined by our understanding. Church Gist. I will never need anybody to encourage me to go to church in my life because I understand it and I am walking in it. I am trying to remember of any time I have been off church since I met Jesus. You can’t understand these things and walk away from them.
Right now we are driving the Ark on the Move prophetic agenda and amazing testimonies are coming out of it because we know that hosting the presence of God in your home is to invite fullness of joy. So when armed robbers came to that community, they couldn’t rob in that house because God had sat there.
2 Samuel 6:11
When you open your home for this ark of revival, you have already opened your house to blessings on every side.
Psalms 132:14-15
Wherever His people gather, His blessings abound and we know His blessings makes rich and add no sorrow. So it not people invading your privacy, it’s blessing. Church Gist. Between privacy and blessing what do you want? The house you are living in, who gave it to you? When you realize how many of your mates are homeless, you will lift up your two hands and say enter the bedroom, enter everywhere.
- In your life time you will give houses out. The blessings that come to you by opening your house to Jesus will change your story forever.
I didn’t know what I was doing but I was led to do it, the first church in that village where I was, was in my house. Can I pay for a house ever again in my life? No I can’t. That time has passed. Anything you seed to God and for His purpose just multiplies.
The church is the prophetic platform for the emergence of giants, the church is the birthplace for the emergence of giants in this end time. Church Gist. The word of power going forth is what gives emergence to giants that are ordained to rule in the midst of their enemies.
Psalms 103:3
Many people’s testimony today is traceable to something they heard in the church.
Micah 4:1-2
It is by the Word of God emanating from Zion that we rule in the midst of our enemies. So never go for fellowship and be looking, go with a writing material and keep watch for the word that is coming your way. Church Gist. That is how powerful being committed to fellowship is. You catch a word, one word and it turns your life supernaturally around. Fellowship is one of the vital platforms for encounter with the Word.
The good news here today is that believers who are steadfast in fellowship are the only ones eligible to emerge as giants. God has appointed prophets, teachers, apostles, pastors and evangelists for the enlightening of the saints to claim their inheritance. Church Gist. Fellowship is your place of security, your place of defence, your place of strength, your place of enthronement.
It is not just enough to be there and consistently be there, it’s important to know what is in the place and set yourself to have the same. In fellowship you connect to another man’s anointing and you don’t have to labour for it any more.
Fellowship is sweet, it strengthens us to stand strong in the faith. It fires us to keep seeking after God. Therefore keep encouraging all your new converts and contacts.
Take your mind off offerings, take your mind off the demands on your life. God wants to take away the burdens of your life. You know this ministry since inception has been on Jesus frequency of fellowship. You don’t need to be under any pressure, it is to alleviate the pressure in your life.
God offered His son to you for free, so He doesn’t need anything from you, it is you who need Him for everything. Settle down with Jesus and He will settle your life.
Receive grace for addiction to fellowship.
- For your labour you shall be openly rewarded.
- You shall have no occasion for weeping and mourning this year.
- You will be singing your new song before this year is over, your beauty shall be fully restored this year.
Speak to the day to be a most fruitful day for you.
Lift your voice and begin to give thanks to God for as you have declared so shall it be, in the name of Jesus Christ.
