WHEN I WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO CANAANLAND, MY INTELLECT WAS AGAINST IT
WE GET THINGS DONE SO CHEAPELY BECAUSE WE DO NOTHING EXCEPT IT’S COMMANDED
EVERY SEED OF ABRAHAM IS A GLOBAL CITIZEN
DIVINE DIRECTION HAS PROVED TO BE GATEWAY TO A WORLD OF SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH
– Bishop David Oyedepo on UNDERSTANDING THE DEMANDS OF SUCCESS: THE DIVINE DIRECTION FACTOR at Covenant Day Of Exemption Service || 1st March 2026 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service || Part B.
Everybody born of God is born to impact on his world, not by manipulations and schemes, by simply following the dictates of Scriptures delightsomely and consistently, it keeps changing one’s level one level after another. Church Gist. You don’t come above the nations overnight, you move step by step, He gives us little by little so we don’t get crushed by it. But you’re changing level!
Genesis 12:3. So, every seed of Abraham is a global citizen. Church Gist. Some give up at a point, others keep pressing, they keep pressing and they keep going until you have to go 90 degrees up to see them. I see you listed among such people.
Joshua 1:8. Good success connotes success at a good rate. If a program is 3 years and you’re spending 9 years, that’s not good success. Church Gist. You may come out but that’s not good success, that’s slow success, that’s some bad success, that’s corrupt success. Good success at the same rate or beating the time. No more slow motion in your life! No more stagnation in your life!
This implies that until our part is played, God is not committed to deliver. His plan is for you and me to be on top but there’s what we must do to get there. Psalm 89:34. Church Gist. When the covenant is broken, breakthrough becomes an impossibility. Ecclesiastes 10:8. It’s important therefore to be open to what are the covenant demands of success. Daniel 11:32. Flatteries mean mockery. Church Gist. So, a revelation of the covenant of success is key to Commanding outstanding success. It’s key. We need a revelation and application of covenant terms of success.
So, let’s look at the divine direction factor in our quest to command success and exploits in our endeavours. Proverbs 3:5-6. Church Gist. You have no access to the future, you’re limited by what you see, hear and touch but God leads us with the future in view. He leads into the great future that He has prepared for us. Now, watch Exodus 13:17. Common sense means rush out on time, don’t give Pharoah time to change his mind but divine intelligence says, “look, the Philistines will resist you and Pharaoh will get you back to Egypt into captivity. So I’m taking you through an impossible route, the Red Sea”. Church Gist. That is how short circuited human reasoning can be. Exodus 13:17. “Although that was short” but that is not safe and does not secure a future, “let me take you through an impossible path that secures your future” and He did. Church Gist. God leads us with the future in view, that’s what makes divine direction a major factor in the school of success.
Abraham was led out of no identity because there was no pressure, there was nobody gathering to say Abraham should not go, “he should go, what is he worth? He should go to anywhere he wants”. Church Gist. “Abraham, we learnt you’re going somewhere, where are you going?” He said, “God will tell me where I am going”. “We know you’re already mad, just go”. There was nothing to prepare for, God told him and he just departed and from there he became a generational blessing to human race. He was led out of obscurity into limelight. Church Gist. The Lord said to Abraham, “get thee out of thy country” and so Abraham departed and by Chapter 14, he had an Army to himself. By 22, God swore a blessing on him that’s speaking in our lives right now. All through divine direction.
Proverbs 14:12. Proverbs 16:25. Divine direction has proved to be gateway to a world of supernatural breakthrough. Church Gist. Please, settle in for divine direction in your journey. I can tell you it’s so sweet, it makes the adventure of life most delightsome and pleasurable. Somebody asked me, “how do you get things done so cheaply here?” We do nothing except it’s commanded. When you operate as commanded, you just watch your victory and triumphs on the screen. Church Gist. Ezekiel prophesied as was commanded and he was just watching, the bones came together, flesh covered them. Ezekiel 37:7-10. There are many just struggling, others are simply watching the acts of God as they follows His leading. May that be your portion from now.
Listen to this, when I was first brought here, all my intellect was against it. “This can’t be the place, forget it sir” and God said, “this is the place. You don’t know, this boy, you’re short-sighted. I know the future, this is the place”. Church Gist. So, all these competing with psychology, motivation, nonsense, there’s a higher realm – “come and let us reason together”. Isaiah 1:18. 1 Corinthians 2:13. There’s a higher realm. You’re getting on that realm and you’re getting on it today! Church Gist. No more misinvestment of energy in your life! No more misinvestment of resources in your life! Isaiah 48:21.
