COVID-19 CAME, THE WORLD WAS CRING!NG; JESUS STEPPED IN AND EXEMPTED HIS PEOPLE.
WE HARVESTED TESTIMONIES OF HEALING FROM THE FIVE MAJOR CONTINENTS DURING THE COVID-19 SAGA.
I ALWAYS ASK, “LORD, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?” THAT IS THE WAY TO GO.
EVERYONE NEEDS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM TO MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE.
– 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 E.
Finally, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We access divine direction through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In John 16 verse 13 and 14, He said,”When He the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear from Me, that shall He speak and He will show you things to come.” Church Gist. Verse 14, He shall receive of Mine and will show it to you.” That’s His ministry. And that’s why the Word says, “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are..” What? “The sons of God.” Romans 8:14.
Now listen to this, for instance, there is no Lagos in the Bible. So how did you come about Lagos? The Spirit of God. “Arise, get down to Lagos, raise me a people.” There’s no Africa in the Bible, “The harvest of Africa is now overripe; rush in and preserve it from decadence.” The Holy Spirit receives from the Father and transmits it to us. Church Gist. That’s why you need to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. You’’ll be limited in direction without it. “Lord, am I going to go on this journey or not?” You can’t find that in Genesis or Revelation. He has to tell you and He speaks to us by the Holy Spirit. Everybody needs the baptism in the Holy Ghost and to commit to walking in the Spirit to make the most of life. Amen.
I can tell you this; I have not followed anything that is my thinking to embark upon. “Lord, what are You saying? I’ve found myself asking that all of the times. That’s the way to go.
– No more wāsted energy in your life!
Lift up your right hand and give God thanks for showing you a core demand in the school of success – divine direction.
– I decree everyone’s access to clean divine direction!
– No more rêgrets of your steps!
– Wherever anyone may have missed it, may we receive grace to access correction in Jesus’ Name!
Today is our Covenant Day of Exemption. Please first, we must understand our exemption right in redemption. God has an exemption package for us in redemption. We are told we are a peculiar people. We are not like other men. Church Gist. 1 Peter 2:9, He said, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of dârknēss into His marvelous light.” We are redeemed to be peculiar. We are redeemed to be unique. We are redeemed to be different from other species of men.
Now in Exodus 19 verse 4 and 5, He said, “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagle’s wings and brought unto Myself. Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then shall ye be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people, for all the earth is Mine.” Church Gist. He just established their peculiarity in Egypt. All the plāgue that came down to Egypt, none touched them. They were spared. They were severed from it. They were separated from it.
– In the precious Name of Jesus, as a spiritual Jew, your right of exemption in redemption shall be established today!
– This your eyes will see ëv!l no more!
So by covenant we are not permitted to sûffër what the world around us sûffērs. Church Gist. He said, “A thousand shall fãll at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you see, they will not come near you.
– So by this encounter today, ev!l will not come near you.
Paul said in Galatians 6:17, “Let no man trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” I have a mark that no man is permitted to touch me.
– Now that mark is becoming real in your life today!
We had this plâgūe of swãrms of fl!es which connote stēnch. Exodus 8 verse 20 to 24. But Israel was exempted. Church Gist. All of Egypt was invaded by swaårm of fl!es. They were all st!nkîng. But God exempted His people.
– No matter the plãgūe in this hour, you shall be exempted!
And then there are dêãth of cattle which connotes business collåpse. Church Gist. But not one cattle that belonged to Israel d!ed.
– Now no business here will fa!l.
– No matter what happens in the land, your business will be exempted!
And then you have ha!l and tēmpêst, holøcaûst, all kinds of challenges. Church Gist. But there was no hâil in the land of Goshen where God’s people are.
– Destrûct!on shall not be heard at thy gate!
– No shedd!ng of têãrs in any family!
– It shall be a year of testimonies all the way!
That daughter of Abraham, there was this f!re infêrno, bûrnt all the shops this way, jumped down and start burn!ng the other Church Gist ones and you hear this man is using ch@rm. This person is using ch@rm. No, it’s light. Darkness can’t assãult light.
– From today by the light of God’s Word that you are hearing, I declare you exempted.
And then there was darkñess that could be felt. That’s how this was described. Darkñess that could be felt. No one could rise up from his place to another. Church Gist. Complete confûs!on, desp@ir, despøndency. Everybody was at one spot. Exodus 10 verse 21 to 23. But in the land of Goshen, where God’s people are, there was light.
– You’ll never be a vict!m of confûsion!
– You’ll never join them to say anymore, I don’t know what else to do!
– You will always know the right thing to do!
And then sudden d3ath struck in Egypt. The firstborn of man and beast. Church Gist. There was wa!ling in Egypt such as never heard before in Israel. But not one person among God’s people d!ed.
– In the Name of Jesus, I declare you exempted from the plâgūe of sudden dêāth.
Corona v!rus came and shût the world down. The world was cring!ng. Church Gist. I was furious in the spirit. Jesus stepped in and exempted his people. Amen.
– No matter the plāgûe that visits the earth, you and your household shall be exempted.
We harvested testimony from across the five major continents of the world of rescue, deliverance by putting to work the things that are taught here.
