PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS
GOD WILL SEND YOU THE KIND OF HELP YOU CANNOT IMAGINE
GOD’S WORD CONCERNING YOU SHALL COME TO PASS LIKE A DREAM OF THE NIGHT!
GOD’S AGENDA IS ACCORDING TO GOD’S CAPACITY, STRENGTH, WISDOM, POWER; WHATEVER HE SPEAKS WITH HIS MOUTH ONLY HIS HAND HAS CAPACITY TO DELIVER IT
- Bishop David Oyedepo at 3rd Showers of Blessing Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.
- Sunday Service (Second service)
The same way God fulfilled that prophetic Word without recourse to our inability, and skill, in the same way, God’s Word concerning you shall come to pass like a dream of the night!
God’s agenda is according to God’s capacity, according to God’s strength, wisdom, power, whatever He speaks with His mouth only His hand has capacity to deliver it. Church Gist. Therefore, watch out! Every Word spoken concerning you for the year 2022 shall find raw fulfilment. That my son said he had not praising God as before but jumping and leaping. And in a depressed economy, God went to someone and said, “that person is in trouble; send him 10 million Naira.”
- In the same vein, God will send you the kind of help you cannot imagine.
Because he received the prophetic Word, he believed it, and acted upon it. Church Gist. The security men thought, “this man what is going on?” And he danced his way out of the valley.
- In the same vein, whatever situation you may be in today, if you give God the acceptable dance, there is the acceptable dance, in the same way you walk out of that valley in grand style.
Because God never loses a battle, praising God is transferring your battles to God. When God takes over, it is over.
- Therefore, in the name of the Lord Jesus, every battle you succeed to transfer to God through high praises, it shall be clearly over.
The child was dead, (referring to Testimony) and they prayed, they shouted, she began to feel the loss. Church Gist. And then suddenly, something quickened in her: “Anoint her. Where is your weapon?” “Ah! My God!” (Demonstrates) Child back to life!
🎶Ki le o le se olorun mi, Ki le o le se🎶
I testify before this host of witnesses: “we didn’t build this house. He built. Church Gist. We simply watched him build. God did.” He that builded all things is God.
- Your next level of glory shall be built by Him!
I was privileged to be at the center of it and I knew the ravens of the air were bringing money into this place. I knew! We got to a point, our team members were saying, “Sir, since we are to dedicate the Faith Tabernacle, not Faith Academy and other things, why don’t we face Faith Tabernacle?” Church Gist. I said, “Has God complained to you? Which one can you do?” That time we were not in a position practically, physically, to handle Faith Academy talk less of this elephant project. But He did all at the same time. So, we worship Him in our anthem of worship, 🎶All the glory must be to the Lord.🎶
“PRAISE FACILITATES FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES” Isaiah 54:1-3. You sing your way into realms of breakthroughs. You praise His Word to have them confirmed in your life. Even when nothing points to your breakthrough, you sing it on and then it begins to manifest. Church Gist. We were a singing, shouting, leaping and praising Church at 6 members, 10, 20 members, when we hit 90 you will think we have taken over the city. Yes, we have! You don’t want to die barren, dry, frustrated, sing your way out, sing your way forward, upward. That is God’s prescription for terminating the challenges of your life. Church Gist. Sing my praise, watch me take over and rewrite your story. As they began to sing and to praise, He took over the battle. And when God takes over it is over.
So we are not praising God for the fun of it, we know what is in it. We sing Him praise with understanding. That my son said he was singing, leaping, jumping. Church Gist. “Tomorrow you are going to face EFCC.” He said, “Yes, I know the way out of it.” and somebody sent Him 10 million for free.
- In the name of Jesus, that situation will experience a turnaround in your life.
Sing your way forward, you have been at a spot for too long. Sing your way upward, into the skies. That’s God’s prescription. Psalms 67:5-7. Take it serious! Church Gist. Praise is a weapon of war; it is not an entertainment system. God shows up in the midst of praise to rewrite the story of the praiser.
- You are the next one who will experience it!
How you look is not as important as what you do. You can look like praising God when you are not praising Him; that’s your cup of tea. Church Gist. You better come out of your corners and do what you are told to do. As they began to shout, “Hosanna,” He invaded the temple and chased everything buying and selling away from it.
- Everything buying and selling in your life, as you begin to praise Him, he chases them out and then you become free.
- You won’t labour in vain again!
Please note that God’s prophetic agenda for His children is as contained in His book. Isaiah 29:11-12, Mark 4:11, John 3:3. Until one is born again he cannot see what the Kingdom offers. He could have a Ph.D in grammar, linguistics, he cannot see. Church Gist. He can have a Ph.D in Hebrew and Greek, he cannot see. Then it’s given to one that is unlearned who will not learn it; he won’t learn it, he is just a Christian by identity. “God will do whatever He will do, there’s nothing anybody can do. If He wants you to be a failure, you can’t do anything, you will just be a failure. If He wants you to be poor you will just be poor.” He won’t learn. Hosea 4:6. He is not willing to see. Psalm 82:5. Church Gist. “Leave me alone my friend. My forefather suffered it, my father suffered it, and I took over the baton.” He won’t learn it so he won’t know it. What you don’t know you don’t know; what you won’t learn, you can’t know; and what you don’t know you pay for it.
God’s agenda for every of His children is contained in this book (The Bible). But there are people that are ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. What is the truth? The Word; what is the Word? God’s covenant with man. Church Gist. So we need covenant revelation of the truth to make anything out of it. Daniel 11:32. We need a covenant mentality to maximize our redemptive rights in the Kingdom. I have salvation for you young man, asked me what must I do to be saved? Repent; not assume. Let godly sorrow take over. “I need a change.” Because that’s what heads repentance. Church Gist. When somebody says, “I am sorry” and he is smiling, do you take him serious? “I say I am sorry now eh, I am sorry.” (Mimicking). You can’t be sorry and be smiling.
Many have assumed salvation, and they are just being suffering frustration. It is not to be assumed, it is to be experienced. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Some things have turned; so when nothing turns, that thing is not there. Church Gist. That you have very close friends as medical Doctors does not make you one. Does it? You live in an apartment that only medical doctors live there but they allow you to be there because you are Hospital manager. Does that make you a Doctor? You now buy stethoscope; you put on your neck. That’s drama; Joel company! That you are in a winning Church does not make you a winner. You do what winners do to win. You can’t advise me to learn how to fly; it’s not safe for me. Church Gist. I can’t contain that in any part of my system; my system has been used up for other things and so, I never fly. Though I bought planes here and there, I never fly. You are not willing to learn, you can’t know.
We need a covenant mentality and we need to keep hunting after the covenant terms of every provision of redemption. He obtained for us power; it is available to those who will not sell it. Church Gist. You know Simon alias Power of God? “Ah! If I get this thing, you know I’m a magician before.” “You want to speak in tongues? 10,000. Be saying it after me.” He will just be faking it all around. People will not be empowered except they want to be empowered to serve. Empowerment is for service. Acts 1:8. Church Gist. If it is not to serve God you won’t be empowered. How can God empower you against Himself? Praise God!
Jesus anointed them to go and set free the captives, bind the broken hearted, set the captives free, heal the sick; empowered to serve! If your purpose for seeking empowerment is for show, you will never be empowered. Church Gist. And then, you now thirst for it. He unleashes it on you when he is convinced that you will not abuse it. He gave us riches; you think it is without conditions? Genesis 8:22. Giving and receiving is God’s gateway to His riches. No short cut.
FIVE PROPHETIC LIFELINES AS IT RELATES TO US IN REDEMPTION
What God has provided for us through salvation and how to access them.
- May today mark another turning point in your own life!
- We are redeemed for honour and dignity so the days of shame and reproach, they are over in your life. Revelation 5:12. Honour is provided for in redemption. Shame and reproach is not God’s agenda for your life. Church Gist. Therefore every trace of shame and reproach that may have followed anyone to Church today is converted to honour. Honour is our birthright in redemption. And every siege of dishonour that might have been staring anyone in the face, there’s a change of story today.
But how do we access it? John 12:24-26. Dedication. Do what I say no matter how inconvenient it may be for you. There’s an honour that comes from God. No devil on Earth can despise it. The honour from God is above all other forms of honour on the Earth. John 3:31. Church Gist. So, serving God and the interest of His kingdom is the covenant requirement to access God’s honour in your life and my life. Proverbs 14:28. So you are a part of bringing people into the kingdom, you win God’s honour. 1 Samuel 2:30. Serve me dedicatedly on the altar of praying kingdom advancement prayer, soul winning, soul following up, as a lifestyle.
I got hooked into it since 1976; what a smooth adventure it has been. I’ve had people they told me that they insulted me and did what; but when they meet me, they don’t look like that. ‘Thank God for you Sir. We are so happy; what you are doing for us in this country…’ Church Gist. The people that they said were abusing me. I’ve never seen one man look at me in the face and say, “you are stupid.” None! How? With what mouth? When God honours you, every devil stays clear. It’s not about age; it is about covenant positioning. Serving God and the interest of His Kingdom entitles you to His honour.
Jesus said, “I care only about the honour from above.” Serving God genuinely, heartily, not politically, not moving people against people in your service unit, in your cell, in your zone, just everything negative is from you. That’s not Christianity; That’s carnality.
- In the name of Jesus, the honour that comes through service will be evident in your life from now!
- And God who sees in secret has vowed to reward you openly; your season of open reward has come.
- We are redeemed as stars not as mediocres: every child of God is redeemed a star. Revelation 22:16. Church Gist. Jesus is the bright and morning star and Jesus said, John 17:18, John 20:21. You are not sent as mediocre; you are sent as stars.
- Whatever is blocking your star from shining, I curse them today in the name of Jesus.
How do we realize it? Daniel 12:3. Turning many to righteousness makes stars of believers. Being committed to seeing people come out of darkness to light makes stars of believers. Proverbs 11:30; Proverbs 3:35. You can’t become a sport star without engaging adequately in sporting activities. Church Gist. Paul, an addicted soul winner, a star forever and ever. “Jesus said, Paul said.” You can’t preach a complete message in this world without Paul said. Even if you are a leftist! He has about half of the New Testament to his credit by the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 9:16; Philippians 1:21; Romans 1:16.
There’s nobody who does not like good things; it’s the price they cannot afford. We have some cars in CLMT (Canaanland Mass Transit), if you pay 50,000 they give you. But you will carry it; it is not that it will carry you. The car can’t carry you. It’s 50,000; you have to carry it or break them into pieces and carry them in parts. Church Gist. If somebody wants to pay 20,000 they give it to him because there’s nothing he is doing there. But ask the person who bought that whether he will prefer another car of 1.5, 2 million or 3 million – tell the truth. He says, ‘I like the other one.” Why can’t you get it? I can’t afford it. You want your star to rise, go after souls. No short cut.
- In the precious name of Jesus, the grace to pay the price for your redemptive right of stardom, receive it now!
- We are redeemed as pacesetters, pathfinders and trailblazers. Matthew 5:14. Church Gist. You show the world the way to go by the kind of result you are commanding in the path you are towing.
How do we emerge as the light of the world? Psalm 119:130. God distinguished Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in Babylon because of the unusual insight available to them. Daniel 1:17; Daniel 6:3. Church Gist. Increasing insight is what makes pacesetters. Isaiah 60:1-3, 8, 22. The power of light, insight into scriptural covenants makes pacesetters.
1 Corinthians 2:9. Lovers of God are ordained to be high flyers in life. Give His word time; pray for access into His Word (Psalms 119:18); and grow in His love, you end up a pace setter and a trail blazer.
- We are redeemed to enjoy marital settlement: Genesis 2:18; Proverbs 18:22. It’s God’s plan.
How do we access it? You don’t wait for favour, you entreat/ provoke favour. How do I provoke favour? a) Remain interested in the affairs of God’s Kingdom. Psalms 102:13-15. b) Psalms 45:12 Let praise become your lifestyle. Church Gist. Mark 6:21-23; Esther 5:1-2. You entreat God’s favour by a lifestyle of ceaseless praise in season and out of season. 1 Thessalonians 5:18; Daniel 11:32.
Everyone on the line for miracle marriage, as the Lord liveth, for your God is the one that sets the solitary in families and brings down those who are bound with chains; he brings them out when they respond to what He says you should do but the rebellious shall remain in a dry land. Church Gist. God has not written you off, don’t write yourself off. God will never write you off. Ecclesiastes 9:4.
- As the Lord liveth, everyone on the line for miracle marriage who will entreat the favour of God, by taking pleasure in the matters of the kingdom and praising him as a lifestyle, will be settles this year.
- Every plague of separation in homes shall disappear like a dream of the night.
- Run away husbands/ wives will return in grand style.
Somebody’s wife returned last week in the course of this high praises. The wife called after high praises, ‘I am coming home.” And returned with the children.
Some devils may have vowed that you will never get married; they lie! Church Gist. Under this anointing, your marital destiny is settled.
- We are redeemed to enjoy a good old age: not a struggling old age, carrying you about, a good old age. Church Gist. Christ was hanging on the tree to bring the redeemed into the blessings of Abraham. Galatians 3:13-14, Genesis 24:1, Genesis 25:8.
- Every plan of the devil to cut short your life or your children, wife/ husband returns back to sender.
- I decree today, a good old age as the new identity of your family.
TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF EVERY PROPHETIC WORD
a. Every prophetic word received and believed, provokes bold declarations. It appeared this building will not be completed but we came on near on this altar, I heard from the Lord, I was in Kano for a meeting, “Two months too much. It took me 6 days to create the world and the fullness thereof, I will not need 2 months to finish an ordinary building.” Church Gist. I screamed, two months too much. I came down to Church and said, “hey listen, don’t watch the cloud; everybody say, two months too much.”
- It’s still more than 2 months before the year comes to an end; everything spoken about you this year shall come to pass.
Whatever a man truly believes, he openly declares. What you can’t openly declare, you have not genuinely believed. Romans 10:10; 2 Corinthians 4:13. God said to me against my will, against my little knowledge, “This is the place; and I told them on the spot, January 1997, when we came to this forest for the first time. Church Gist. I wonder why they brought us here because this can’t be a place to put a Church. And God said as we were giving thanks, “this is the place.” I said hold it, God just spoke to me now, this is the place. Go and start negotiating.
See if you can get a 100 acres; they got. See if you can get 200; they got. Find out if you can get 300, 400, and we ended up with 530 acres. You believe it, you will declare it.
Can I tell you something? We had a quit notice from our leased property in Kaduna. And this woman was so pompous. We went to see her with some elders from the Church, “Yea, it’s my property.” I said, shut up! Have you ever seen any Church under the sun before? You never live to see one. Church Gist. We walked out of the place and walked into 13 acres property in the centre of the city. Don’t ever try to do iyanga for God. Psalms 24:1. That’s how we got to Garden of Faith with some structures on it; my office was there already. We saw another hall there, we used it for Bible School. We built Frederick K.C Price Hall (Kenneth Price) 2 weeks. God is too big to beg a man.
- You won’t beg anybody to scale the utmost height.
God said, this tabernacle shall be dedicated September 18. How? Unthinkable, untechnical, unethical. Church Gist. I said it openly, never retracted it. What you don’t say boldly, God will never confirm openly. Acts 14:3.
- The 3 months remaining for the year to end you will see surprises.
b. It makes one to be daring in response: you are daring in your approach to it. You don’t care for the Cons forever. You are ever on with the Pros. God said it, I believe it, that settles it.
This land was infested with robbers when God sent us here. Not one robber showed up all through the construction. Church Gist. We had more than 2,000 working at a time and they were getting raw cash. Nobody was harassed; all the robbers were turned to workers.
- The devil will not rob you of your promised land.
Moses dared Pharaoh sarcastically. There was no attempt to arrest him. He dared the Red Sea, the Red Sea feared and fled. Church Gist. Every word truly received, makes you daring in your response.
Today is our monthly special anointing service and in the precious name of Jesus, this anointing will have the most awesome impact in your life. Church Gist. Praise is a covenant requirement for encounters with fresh oil. Psalms 92:1-2, 10, 12-15.
- By the praise this morning, fresh oil will answer in your life.
WHAT’S IN THE OIL?
a. The yoke destroying power of God. Isaiah 10:27.
b. The healing power of God. Mark 6:7, 12-13; James 5:14-15.
c. The breakthrough power of God. 1 Samuel 16:13, 1 Samuel 17:50.
d. The protection power of God. Psalms 105:13-15, Ezekiel 9:6.
