“HOW DARE YOU? WHO BORN YOU?” NOT ONE DIME EXCHANGED HANDS. K1DNAPPERS CAN NEVER GET MONEY FROM ME.
“IF YOU DON’T LET HIM GO IN 24 HOURS, I DECLARE YOU D£AD” WHAT BISHOP OYEDEPO TOLD K1DNAPPERS WHO TOOK A PASTOR YEARS AGO.
THERE WAS NO INTERNET WHEN GOD TOLD ME 43 YEARS AGO THAT I WILL BE SPEAKING FROM ONE SPOT AND PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING ME ON SCREENS ALL OVER THE WORLD
GOD NEVER LIES. WHATEVER GOD IS TELLING YOU TODAY, YOU WILL WALK IN THE REALITY OF IT TOMORROW
NOBODY INTRODUCED ME TO HAGIN, COPELAND, T.L. OSBORN, E.A. ADEBOYE, BENSON IDAHOSA; THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDED ME TO EACH OF THEM
FAITH IS LIKE OXYGEN HERE; WE HAVE A CONTINUOUS SUPPLY
SOME ARE GIVERS BUT VERY FEW ARE TITHERS, THEY HAVE NOT FULLY FOLLOWED SO THE DEVOURER IS STILL HANGING AROUND.
THE LORD TOLD ME 7 YEARS AGO TO NEVER LEAVE NIGERIA UNLESS HE TELLS ME TO AND EVERYBODY FROM EVERY NATION KEPT COMING
THE BLESSING IS NOT IN WHERE YOU GO, IT’S IN BEING WHERE HE ASKED YOU TO BE AND DOING WHAT HE ASKED YOU TO BE DOING
I DON’T FEEL STRESSED, I DON’T FEEL USED. IF WE HAVE 5 SERVICES TODAY, I’LL STAND THERE.
IF YOU KEEP WALKING IN LINE WITH GOD’S DIRECTION, YOU DON’T LOSE YOUR STRENGTH.
WRONG WORK WEARS PEOPLE OUT, RIGHT WORK REJUVENATES PEOPLE.
PROPERLY CHANNEL YOUR STRENGTH FOR PRODUCTIVE ENGAGEMENT.
WE HAVE WON VARIOUS BATTL£S IN THIS COMMISSION WITHOUT HAVING TO F1GHT. GOD’S PRESENCE FOUGHT AND GAVE US THE VICTORY.
THE MYSTERY OF THE ANOINTING OIL IS NOT AN OLD TESTAMENT DOCTRINE.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS OF FOLLOWING DIVINE DIRECTION (3A) at Breaking Invisible Barriers Service || 21st September 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service.
God told me 43 years ago. You will be speaking from one spot and they will be seeing you on the screen across the nations of the earth. There was no internet technology in the market when God told me that. There was no physical way to figure it out but God never lies. Whatever God is telling you today, you will walk in the reality of it tomorrow. Church Gist. That’s apart from the multitudes that gathered in all our churches worldwide. What we had at those private connections from various places. I am sure you are aware we are in 143 nations already by God’s expansion program, not by any human arrangement. May every precious seed that you have received from His Word never be trashed.
Now, listen to me. I hear from heaven the same way Hagin hears from heaven. Why? I am genuinely connected. As thy soul lives and as thy spirit lives, I will not leave you. So what He carries flows naturally. It is time to reflect your source in increasing dimensions. You can’t afford to be a victim of people prophesying to you. Church Gist. You have the right of access to the voice of God as individuals. Lord open my spiritual ears to be able to hear what you are saying like your servant does. It is not enough to hang around God, you have to hear what He is saying.
I wasn’t introduced to any giant of faith. The Holy Ghost guided me to each of them. I wasn’t introduced to any of them by any man. Nobody introduced me to Hagin, nobody introduced me to Copeland, no one did. No one introduced me to T.L. Osborn, no one did. Church Gist. No one introduced me to E.A. Adeboye, no one introduced me to Benson Idahosa. He spoke to me, He bore me a witness on the inside. It’s time to connect to the voice of God. It is time to connect to what He is saying and witnessing on your inside and settle in. You will reproduce after the same order.
Faith is like oxygen here, it is a continuous supply. You don’t have to pray “Oh God send us oxygen here.” It is a continuous supply. It is time to grow up. My prayer is that the same way I am beating fruits after my roots, you will start bearing fruits after your roots. Church Gist. It is a brand new day in the name of Jesus. Today is declared your day, your day of a lifetime encounter. An encounter that will keep speaking in your life all the days of your life.
UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS OF FOLLOWING DIVINE DIRECTION
God’s Word is given for our profiting. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. God’s Word is for our benefit. Hebrews 4:2. It is ordained for our profiting. Isaiah 48:21. Church Gist. His leading leads to our flourishing. When we allow Him to lead us, He leads us into flourishing.
– May dry seasons end in everyone’s life today.
God’s Word is not for God’s profiting, it is for our profiting. The principles, the reproofs and the corrections laid out in scriptures are for our profiting. The instructions thereof are for our profiting. Every part of this book is ordained for our profiting. Deuteronomy 28:1-2. So it is full of blessings. Romans 15:29. Fullness of blessings is in the gospel. Unmatchable fullness of blessings is in the gospel. So settle in, don’t be afraid. His instructions are to rescue you and me from destruction. Church Gist. His corrections are to rescue us from shame and reproach. His reproofs are to get us right, so we can secure a future. His principles are to lead us in the way to make the most of our lives. So celebrate His reproofs, celebrate His corrections, celebrate His instructions, embrace His principles for a living. Nothing in the world compares in value with the principles of the Word of God. He said anything you find here, sell all that you have and buy into it. Over to you.
Understanding the benefits of divine direction. It’s one thing to be led, it is yet another to fully follow His leading. Numbers 32:11-12. Let’s explain that briefly here. God earlier told me “As you pastor this one Church…” So it is a one Church system in Lagos. “I will yet relocate my Church” so the church will no longer be here in Iyana Ipaja. So the cloud shifted. To fully follow means to fully shift. So we shut down the building that he built. He built it so there is nobody to complain. He built it. The building that He built for two years. We fully followed. When He transferred me to Lagos, I fully left. That’s what fully followed means. Some are givers but very few are tithers, they have not fully followed so the devourer is still hanging around. Fully followed. So it is not enough to be led, it is to fully follow the leading. Are there not some things you have heard in your private studies before the Lord that you are yet to put to work? Church Gist. That God spoke to you, not a preacher. It is by fully following what He says that we enter into the fullness of His blessings. Observe to do all that I command you, I will set you above all nations of the earth. So that is about all. May each one receive the grace today to fully follow whatever God is saying to do in the name of Jesus. Every time you choose to reject the truth, you are blocking your own way forward. When our obedience is fulfilled, we will avenge all disobedience. When you are walking in the centre of the centre of the will of God forget about the devil. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. Everything resisting your way forward will clear off.
We are only empowered for change of story by following the leading of the Spirit which includes the dictates of scriptures. Deuteronomy 28:1. The voice of God, the dictates of scriptures. So it is not accessing the leading, we must engage with the Word as we put the leading to work. Romans 8:14. So you are led by the Spirit of God, you are following the dictates of scriptures, you are heading for an enviable future. You won’t miss your place.
God only guides the meek, not the arrogant, not the proud. Psalm 25:9. So you find a man by name Moses said to be very meek among above all men that were in the face of the earth. Church Gist. Can I tell you what the meekness was? This was a general in Pharaoh’s Army, he became a shepherd boy in Jethro’s farm. Very meek. I could still perceive that he was panting for the rescue of the children of Israel from bondage. And God complained to him at 80. He never complained about his being 80, he just said, “I’m a stammerer, can I do this kind of job?” He’ll say, “yeah, I’ve been waiting for this” no no, “I’m not fit” and so, he was on key as far as access was concerned. “This saith the Lord”. He operated by “thus saith the Lord” 24/7. Church Gist. Psalm 25:9. Many are too much for God, they even advice God. “God, wait a minute. You know, you’re in Heaven, we’re on the earth, let me explain to you why what you’re saying cannot happen. And now, let me advise you what you should say”. Church Gist. There are people like that, that’s their stance, they won’t mention it oh but that’s their stance. “Lord, you need advice”. His Word is take it or leave it, you can’t change it. So, don’t try to change the unchangeable. His Words are yeah and Amen, unchangeable. Matthew 24:35. Jeremiah 33:20-21. It is pride to be walking against the truth and be posing that you’re just, you know, showing maturity. The truth said, ‘stop’, you say, ‘let me explain’. I’m going to ask Paul a lot of questions when we get to Heaven because when God said move, you didn’t move, what happened to you after? Church Gist. What was working in you that time. He said, “get out of this town quickly”, he said, “let me explain. I have a schedule, I’m a man of my word. You know I’ve been working with you for long, let’s agree. I will go for that meeting and then I’ll leave”. He went off from that meeting. No maturity or experience can alter the Word of God. So, settle in, you can tell whether you’re going for the Word or you’re going off the Word. Anybody can tell, don’t pose that you don’t know. Don’t tell me that only God knows, you should know. Church Gist. You’re going places. May you receive grace today to keep engaging with every instruction from the Lord. Matthew 5:5.
Interestingly, God’s goodness and mercy usually follow the led. That will be what will be following you from now. Psalm 23:1,6. That’s your story.
What are some of the benefits of divine direction?
1. Divine direction enhances our level of command of the supernatural. When God leads, He empowers the led to gain command. Luke 10:17. You’re supernaturally in command when you’re going in the direction of His leading. Church Gist. You’re unquestionably in command. The Lord said to me, “don’t you get out of this country until I tell you to”. 7 years going to 8 now and everybody from every nation kept coming. Last Sunday, we had 4 top Pastors from India that just came for a touch and craving the grace that happens here in that Nation. This morning, I have my daughter here from Australia. Church Gist. She’s been here now for 2-3 weeks seeking the face of God for the next phase of her ministry. You saw 11 ministers from Brazil to buy into the grace that obtains here. Have I ever been there? Never. You saw 42 people that came from China. I don’t know the road to China, although I eat Chinese rice. Just do what He says to do. Church Gist. The blessing is not in where you go, it’s in being where He asked you to be and doing what He asked you to be doing. In the precious name of Jesus, no one will miss his or her road again!
Isaiah 45:1-3. When God leads, He empowers the led for dominion when they follow His leading. Isaiah 45:2-3. Galatians 2:8. You’re empowered for dominion where you’re led, where you’re sent. Church Gist. I remember some 39 years ago in Tulsa, “my son, David, the baton has been passed over to you” change of level of spiritual authority. Others have laboured, I entered into their labour because He led me in that direction. Thank you Jesus.
2. It secures access to supernatural blessings. When you’re following where He leads, goodness and mercy follows you naturally. When God said, “this is the place”, January ’97, everybody was willing to sell, there was no special contact with anyone. Church Gist. They were willing to sell till the doorstep of their houses. I said, “no no, don’t sell your house”, that’s how we got here. And In Scripture, it is favour that gives you land. Psalm 44:3. So, favour came – and favour is the custodian of Heaven’s blessings – favour came and then blessings follow. Can I hear your Amen? Deuteronomy 28:1-2. Supernatural blessings usually follow the led. That’s following you from now Isaiah 48:21. That’s what is happening to your Church. Church Gist. Fortune is gushing out in a dry land. That will happen in your businesses. Fortune is gushing out. When God leads, blessings pursue the led.
3. It endues us with supernatural strength. Judges 6:14. When God sends, He strengthens the Sent to deliver. Unusual strength, supernatural strength, genuine strength. Can you imagine Moses at the age of 80 retaining his strength till 120? When God sends, He strengthens the Sent. Deuteronomy 34:7. No diminishing return, no effect of aging at 120. He walked his way into Mount Horeb. Church Gist. Mount! Not that he drove and there God buried him and the angels… He was already an oracle, if God didn’t bury him, they’d worship him. So, God took him up and buried him where nobody knows. At 120! If you keep walking in line with His direction, you don’t lose your strength. You can ask me! I don’t feel stressed, I don’t feel used. If we have 5 services today, I’ll stand here. When God sends, He strengthens the Sent to deliver the assignment He gave Him.
-You won’t lose strength again.
I’ve said before, it is wrong work that wears people out not right work. Right work refines people, rejuvenates people but wrong work wears people out. “Did you hear what I heard? This World oh!” Then you go to another place, at no pay. “I just came from that my brother, what is happening in this Country is terrible. You understand what I’m saying? I’m a media person, a personal media man. You know? This Country.” Then he goes to another man. Working day! Working hour! And then somebody is answering telephone all day long. Church Gist. They say: “Hmm! I’m tired!” “Won’t you be tired? You should be tired. Wrong work ‘tires’ people. Some are praying, they put telephone in front, they’re praying, telephone is in front. They say: “Excuse me! I’m praying.” Can you be answering a call before an area court judge? Area court oo. You will not know area court but I know area court. What are you doing? What a life! Is that how to be a social elite? Which elite are you? Social elite is one with impact. Yes, your impact! How can you get an impact when you are not concentrating in anything?
For all executives here, you should have a secretary who answers your call. He will now bring to you only essentials not ‘eh! Just to say hello to you. How are you doing?’ Somebody came to my office when our ministry just started. I said: “What’s the matter?” He said: “I just came, just to see everybody.” I said: “Early in the morning?” I said: “You have lost respect!” Can you imagine me go early in the morning to say I’m going to greet somebody? Church Gist. Somebody said: “I just came to encourage you. We are not discouraged.” People just take on funny, funny things. Some people go out for child naming and travel distances for God’s sake. He’s not the Priest who will name the Child oh. He now flies from here to Maiduguri. Ah! And he says: “So you came? Hope there is no problem? They are not expecting you. Ah! Why go to where you are tolerated with all the job you have in your hand? When my mother was alive, there is nobody who dies that is not a relation. Everybody that dies anywhere is a relation. Oh my God!
-Somebody’s story is changing. It’s your turn!
The days are evil so fill up your time with something positive at all time and you’ll be glad you did. So, our strength should not be abused but properly channelled for productive engagement. Church Gist. Properly channel your strength for productive engagement. Misdirection can be most challenging if not deadly. Proverbs 16:25.
-No one here will go the way of death.
Proverbs 3:5-6. That’s the Key! In all thy ways: “Jesus! What are you saying?” This is the Place!” Church Gist. By my thinking it can’t be the Place but what are you saying? Proverbs 3:5.
-No one will be a victim of misdirections anymore.
Before you open a new business, ask the Lord: “Are You there?” Before you relocate to another city, ask the Lord. Church Gist. Before you relocate to another country, ask the Lord. Don’t get there today and start regretting it by the evening. How did I come here? What went wrong with me?”
-PRAYERS
Today is our Breaking Invisible Barriers Service. Please note that invisible barriers are real. Psalm 91:5. Arrows flying by day, pestilence walketh in darkness and destruction that wasteth at noonday. They are not things that your eyes can see. Psalm 91:7. Invisible barriers are real. Matthew 13:25. There’s an undue movement in the atmosphere in the night to plant evil seeds in the lives of people but we have the redemptive right to clear them off our path of destiny. Isaiah 52:1-2. You have the responsibilities to clear off those barriers. All we need is the grace to take those responsibilities. Church Gist. Don’t watch the barriers staring you in the face, you have what it takes to get rid of them, for greater is He that is in you and me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4. Luke 11:21. The Greater One in you is asking you to take responsibility, come against him, bring him down and have what belongs to you. Luke 11:21-22. All these barriers can be likened to an examination. Students don’t weep because they’re to write exams, they read by themselves to confront the exam and conquer it. Many have overcome that issue in their lives. In your same family, the Family of God. So fight the good fight of faith so you can lay hold of what belongs to you.
The following are essential requirements for crushing invisible barriers:
1. Be born again.
At new birth, we were raised together with Christ. Ephesians 2:6. Ephesians 1:20. So you are far above the barriers by redemption, all you need to do is to take responsibility. Far above! Because the Greater One, at whose name every name bows now dwells in you. All you and I will need is to take responsibility. Church Gist. I have been raised up with Christ. I’m meant to seat with Him in Heavenly places and it’s far above where you’re operating from. Therefore I command you, get off my way in the Name of Jesus! Get off my path in the Name of Jesus.
2. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world including the barriers that are there and He does that by faith. 1 John 5:4. You engage the power of faith to crush the barriers. Church Gist. Ephesians 6:16. 2 Corinthians 5:7. ‘Go forward’ He said and the Red Sea gave way. Exodus 14:15. The Red Sea gave way and through faith they crossed the Red Sea. Hebrews 11:29.
-I see all the barriers on your path crumble.
3. Stay in love with God. 1 John 4:16. No gate can block the way of God forward. Psalm 24:27-28. As you stay in love with God and keep growing in your love with God, barriers clear your path on their own accord. “When Israel came out of Egypt, Judah was his sanctuary. God was present, the sea saw them, it fled: Jordan was driven back. Church Gist. What ailed thee? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord.” Psalm 114. Every trouble trembles when God shows up. Everything troubling you trembles when God shows up. Everything threatening you trembles when God shows up. That’s your experience from now!
No circumstance can beat a genuine lover of God, except who can beat God. Because he that dwells in love dwells in God and God in him. That’s why He said eyes have not seen what God has prepared for them that love Him. Church Gist. That’s why He said that we know that all things work together for good to them that love Him. Barriers can’t stand them. Barriers cannot stand them. Barriers cannot stand every true lover of Jesus. Barriers can’t stand them. Barriers can’t stand them!
– So, I decree that every barrier on your path clears up finally.
Many are in love with what God does, they’re not in love with God. When things are going great, “Oh yes, Oh God I praise you.” When anything seems to happen on the contrary, “Can God be depended upon? Can God be trusted?” Yet, you are the one that failed. Church Gist. God never fails. But will you be humble enough to ask yourself “where did I miss it?” Ehn? “Where did I miss it?” I asked the Lord “Why are things not working in Kumasi?” He said “I’m not there” If I didn’t ask, we’ll be there forever, we’ll be struggling for eternity. Ask God why things are not working. Don’t look for God to blame and don’t look for the devil to blame. Church Gist. It’s the same devil that is attacking everybody else. Why is he overcoming you? Praise God. Is somebody blessed? (To a pastor) You look a bit calm, what’s the matter? are you okay? It’s well with your soul.
Nothing ever gets wrong with God. So, look for who else to blame. Don’t be caught blaming God. Don’t ever be caught blaming God. Church Gist. Job stayed so long in his trouble because he thought it was God troubling him. Don’t ever be caught blaming God.
4. God still sets free today through the ministry of our God-sent prophets. God still sets free today. So, as this Prophet begins to speak from this Altar, I see the barriers on your path clearing off! “For by a prophet, the Lord broke the barriers and brought Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet was he preserved.” Hosea 12:13. Church Gist. There were many widows in Israel, unto none was Elijah sent, but unto the widow of Zarephath. There were many lepers in the time of Elisha, unto none was Elisha sent, but to Naaman the Syrian. God sends prophets to His people for their rescue from things that appear too strong for them. He sends them to show them the way out. If they wouldn’t follow Moses, they won’t be out forever. Church Gist. They had to follow him to be out. He sent him to them, they have to receive him and follow his instructions to get there.
– Whatever barrier could not stop this Church from marching forward will never stop your life from going forward.
One time, I sat down listing the various battles we have won without having to fight them. His presence fought the battles and gave us the victory. Church Gist. So, if you can line up with that, how to sustain His presence in your life, you will be smiling at the storm.
– You’ll never suffer stagnation anymore in your life.
– The barriers are off today.
Now listen, no matter how anointed the prophet, you don’t believe what he says, you’ll never see it come to pass. I asked the Lord one time “What can a prophet do to make people believe what you send them?” Church Gist. He said “Nothing. They choose to believe or not to believe.” He said “Even I myself, I can’t do anything outside their faith.” They couldn’t believe Jesus, He couldn’t perform.
– God sent me for your liberation and today, every gang-up of hell against your destiny, I command them cleared away!
– Every gang-up of hell against your health, I command them to clear off.
“For surely they shall gather together but not by me. But everyone that gathers together against you shall fall for thy sake.” Isaiah 54:15.
– So, every agent of the devil that won’t let you go, goes for you today.
– Every agent of the devil militating against your destiny crashes in your behalf today.
It was “thus saith the Lord” that Moses used to bring them out and God’s voice is in His word. Church Gist. Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord.
– Lord, prove that you have sent me to these people today and clear off all satanic oppressions on their path, all satanic resistances on your path in the name of Jesus.
5. We must take responsibility to keep invisible barriers off our path. We must take responsibility. The Word has gone forth, they have crushed, they are all crushed. But you are to take responsibility for them not to reform. Matter 13:43-45. Church Gist. Spiritual emptiness makes you vulnerable, empty, swept and garnished, decorated but empty. Spiritual emptiness makes a believer vulnerable. So, refuse to be empty, refuse to be empty. Fight against spiritual emptiness by taking practical responsibility. “When I enter the sanctuary of the Lord then understood I” Make Church-going your lifestyle. Every time the Word comes, it fills a place in you, blocking the adversary from access. Spend time in the Word on daily basis. Refuse to be empty, it’s a risk. Refuse to be empty, it’s a risk. Take responsibility. Church Gist. Open your mouth wide against unwanted things and I’ll fill it. But you say “No, no, no, we have to be moderate. You know this is modern time.” Then you have modern trouble, modern problems. “Open your mouth wide and I’ll fill it.”
Some devils picked one of our pastors years ago. I think they’re kidnappers. I said “Give them this number to call.” “If you don’t let him go in 24 hours, I declare you dead. I said I declare you dead.” Church Gist. There was silence in the other side. They had no choice. Kidnapper to get money from me? Never. Who born you? Where? Except I’m not sent. I’ll kill you fresh with my words. I went to Calabar for the Thanksgiving Service, Sunday evening, Triumph of Jesus, Triumph of Faith. Not one dime exchanged hands, who dare you? Where are you coming from? Take responsibility. You see, your response shows what is in you. “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Matthew 12:34. Some fellows picked one of our members then and the wife called crying that as he was entering the house, four men entered the vehicle and took him away. Right there, I blew up. “I was keeping my father’s sheep one day, then came a lion and took one of them. Church Gist. I ran after it, took it by the beards and smote it. Angels of God, pursue them and set him free.” 2 am, they let him go. Refuse to be empty. Please, refuse to be empty. Refuse to be empty, take responsibility. A car without fuel can’t move.
– Somebody’s story has just changed.
– You will not labour in vain anymore in the name of Jesus.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So, when the Word is on the inside, the mouth oozes it forth. Church Gist. You’re not trying to look for it, it’s inside you.
I shared this interesting story or testimony. I was asleep years ago and then I saw myself in a coffin. How many have heard that before? Okay. Now, in the sleep, I reacted. “satan, you must be a dummy, for it is written, there is no wisdom nor counsel nor understanding in the grave.” No one sees himself in the grave or in the coffin and stays there. Church Gist. Poor devil. All that took place in the sleep. You know why? The Word that enters your spirit man does not sleep. Not intellect, your spirit man. The entrance of the Word into your spirit man is your rescue when challenged. You say “what happened?” I woke up as usual. No one sees himself in the coffin and stays there. Poor devil. It was a game. If you say “Oh, so it’s ending.” Then you’re wrong. Ending to where? You can’t tell when storm will arise. Church Gist. Please, don’t play empty. Don’t play empty. Don’t be a decorated Christian, swept and garnished – heavy suit, heavy garment, but empty inside.
– There shall be no evil report in your environment.
– “No!” to accidents – domestic, road accidents, water accidents.
– There shall be no evil report coming your way this year.
– You believe that let me hear your loudest Amen!
Matthew 4:4. So, live by the Word and you’ll be able to deal with those barriers as they surface from time to time. Amen!
Today is our Anointing Service and please know, the anointing oil is not an Old Testament doctrine but a mystery for all generations of God’s people. It’s not an Old Testament phenomenon, it’s a mystery for all generations of God’s people. Exodus 30 was where God introduced this mystery from verse 25 to 29. Exodus 30:30-31. Church Gist. Every child of God is a spiritual Israelite. So throughout our generations, this mystery is ordained to keep speaking and so we saw it.
No king reigns in Israel without being anointed and we have been redeemed as priests and kings. So we are anointed to reign. Mark 6:7, 12-13, James 5:14-15. Church Gist. So you find it all the way in the Old Testament into the ministry of Christ and to the post resurrection ministry of the Apostles. So it’s on and on and up till our turn and when we are no longer going to be here, it will still be here.
Please, have this understanding. It’s not an Old Testament doctrine, it’s an all generation mystery including our own generation. Church Gist. I want your faith in this mystery to come alive because it is for your rescue and my rescue. Amen!
Here is the mystery – the holy anointing oil communicates the ministry of the Holy Spirit for our supernatural change of story. Now when it is blessed and proclaimed the holy anointing oil, the Spirit of God goes into it. Church Gist. 1 Samuel 16:13…the oil of conquest came upon him and in 1 Samuel 17, he (David) brought down Goliath. The barrier of shame and reproach was crushed.
– In the same way today, the barrier of shame and reproach shall be crushed in your life!
The Spirit of the Lord! You saw the impact of that Spirit in Isaiah 61:1.
– Today, every trace of depression will be destroyed!
– Your captivity is ending today!
– Your prison gates shall be shattered today!
That’s what the Spirit of the Lord does and it’s communicated among others through the mystery of the anointing oil.
What Then Is In The Anointing Oil In Specifics?
1. The breakthrough power of God. Remember, there is only one Spirit, one faith and there is one baptism. So the same Holy Ghost that came down in Acts 2 is the same One we call the Anointing of the Holy Spirit – the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. That came down and we saw Peter broke loose – his fear and timidity crushed. Acts 4:13. Church Gist. The crippled man at the Beautiful Gate came back on his feet and the people could say nothing because they could see the man standing by them. Acts 4:13-14.
You saw the boldness that came upon Peter on the Day of Pentecost, people were pricked in their hearts (and) 3,000 people turned their life to Christ. Church Gist. In Acts 3, the crippled man came back on his feet and on and on. The breakthrough power of God is in the oil.
– Today, you are breaking through into next levels!
He got down there and met the man called Aeneas, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes thee whole” and he was off his 8 years of paralysis. Church Gist. He got down to Dorcas’ place where she was laid dead and did the same thing that Jesus would do and Dorcas came back to life. Breakthrough unlimited came his way through the anointing.
– By the anointing of today, breakdowns end in your life!
2. The yoke destroying power of God.
– Whatever represents a yoke on your life, anything choking you, anything in the World choking you, today, that yoke shall be destroyed!
– Isaiah 10:27. Today is that day in your life!
– That thing choking you will be turned to a testimony!
If you saw the way the devil fought this mystery in those days, why? Church Gist. He knows that God has finally come to turn the table against him.
– Today, every activity of the wicked one around your life shall be shattered!
3. The exemption power of God. Psalm 105:13-15. Church Gist. The anointing makes us touch not entities.
– After this anointing today, evil will not touch you again!
– The sons of wickedness will not afflict you anymore!
– Your presence will scare every evil!
– When you onboard a vehicle, there is safety!
– You get on board a flight, there is safety!
– You are in your house, there is safety because you have the exemption seal of God on your life!
Ephesians 1:13…so it’s a seal. A covering. Stay off, no access! Church Gist. Don’t dare that! That’s you! Ezekiel 9:6.
– The mark coming upon your head today, no devil will come near you anymore!
4. The healing power of God. We mentioned that earlier. Mark 6:13, James 5:14-15. Church Gist. All manner of sickness and disease is covered.
– So today, no trace of sickness will return back home with you! Church Gist. For let God be true and all men liars.
5. The miracle working power of God. Matthew 10:1, 7-8. Leprosy connotes what makes you hide from your peers. Church Gist. It connotes shame and reproach.
– By this anointing today, the miracle power of God will invade your life and clear off every trace of shame and reproach off your life!
Note that the oil can be applied by anointing our foreheads or any part or parts of our bodies that may be challenged, taking a shot of the oil to thoroughly purge our inside from all unwanted issues. Church Gist. We can also anoint places and things thereby setting them apart against the incursion of the wicked. If you check that Scripture from (Exodus 30) 26-29, it’s talking about anointing all the vessels of service, anointing things and then you anoint the priest and we are the priests. We have been redeemed as priests and kings, we shall reign on the Earth.
So we anoint places, we anoint things and we anoint ourselves. Church Gist. We take the shot of the oil to clear off everything that is defiling your inside and watch out today, something unusual will break forth!
