WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS MASSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF INFANT CHURCHES THIS YEAR ACROSS THE NATION.
COLLEGE OF LAW IS ONGOING. COLLEGE OF MEDICINE IS ONGOING ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
NEW PROGRAMS ARE COMING ONBOARD IN LANDMARK UNIVERSITY
UNTIL YOU ARE SAVED YOU ARE NOT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SPECIES OF MEN. IT IS AFTER SALVATION THAT YOU BECOME A PECULIAR PERSON, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD AND HOLY NATION.
COVENANT PEOPLE USUALLY FLOURISH IN HARD TIMES BECAUSE OUR CASE IS MEANT TO BE DIFFERENT.
IF YOU DON’T THINK EXEMPTION, YOU CAN’T EXPERIENCE EXEMPTION. THINK EXEMPTION AND YOU’LL BE EXEMPTED.
NOBODY’S HATRED CAN MAKE GOD’S COVENANT ON YOUR LIFE OF NO EFFECT. MAINTAIN YOUR COVENANT STAND IN THE WORLD AND YOU SHALL BE WATCHING YOUR VICTORY.
– 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 F
God has not changed. The same way He exempted them in Egypt, He will exempt us today. Interestingly, and I think you need to hear this, covenant people usually flourish in hard times. Church Gist. Covenant what? People usually flourish in hard times because our case is meant to be different. Come on, give the Lord a big hand of praise.
We are working towards massive construction of infant churches this year across the nation. Amen. College of law is ongoing. College of medicine is ongoing all at the same time. Church Gist. Amen. And you heard the good news about Landmark University, new programs coming on board and Covenant, Landmark they just follow each other on most ranking platforms. Isn’t God awesome?
· The good news is nothing about you will smack failure again. No matter what fails in the world, nothing in your hand will fail.
In Psalm 33:8-19, the word says, “Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.” That’s you. The economic heat of the day will not reach your house. Church Gist. In Genesis 47:15-27. When there was economic failure and money failed in the land of Egypt, land of Canaan, everywhere. But at the same time, you find God’s people having possessions and becoming exceedingly great in the midst of an holocaust, economic holocaust as well. God exempted them.
· You shall be exempted. If you believe that. Let me hear your loudest. Amen.
Now as we round up, how to exercise our exemption right.
1. Be born again. That’s where it starts. Until you are saved you are not different from other species of men. Church Gist. It is after salvation that you become a peculiar person, a royal priesthood and holy nation.
2. Have a revelation understanding of your exemption right in Christ. Seek to understand it. Church Gist. That redemption makes you unique. We are to show forth His praises, not pities. His praises on the earth. 1 Peter 2:9.
3. Develop a covenant exemption mentality. For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Therefore, keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Church Gist. If you don’t think exemption, you can’t experience exemption. Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, think on these things. Philippians 4:8. Think exemption and you’ll be exempted.
4. Number four, keep the love of God alive in your heart as a lifestyle. For we know that all things work together for good to those that love God and who are called according to His purpose. Church Gist. All things. Stay in love with God, keep growing your love for God and all things will keep working together for your good no matter what will happen on the earth.
For eyes have not seen nor ears heard neither has it entered into the heart of any man what God has in stock for them that love Him, for them that love Him. Church Gist. Keep the love of God alive in your heart, as a lifestyle, not time to look for something as your way of life. God remains the darling of your soul and then you have committed Him to make all things keep working together for your good. Amen. For he that dwells in love dwells in God and God in him. You are in for the best of time.
5. Finally, commit to serving God and the interest of His kingdom as a way of life not something you get involved as an activity. It has become your way of life. Serving His interest becomes your way of life. And what will He do? He will give you rest roundabout. Church Gist. Roundabout rest. No apprehension, no anxieties, no fear of the unknown. Roundabout rest. It causes war to seize. You are exempted from all evils and all concerns when you enter into a covenant to serve God with all your heart and with all of your desire.
2 Chronicles 15:15, It says and Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with their whole desire, and He was found of them, and the Lord gave them rest roundabout. Church Gist. Verse 12 said, “They entered into a covenant to serve God, and they did that with all their heart and with all of their desire, and God gave them rest roundabout.” And verse 19, there was no more war.
Now, let me tell you this, it is people fighting us that know that they are fighting. We don’t know they are fighting. As a ministry sir, people fighting us may know that they are fighting because they are wasting and expending their energy. We don’t know they are fighting. Church Gist. We are just watching the victory. Can I tell you something? We dedicated that sanctuary yesterday. There was war against our property in that nation and when they called me to tell me that they forcefully took our property from us, I said, “God is big enough to defend Himself.” I never called anybody under heaven. God stepped in, and the katakata began. They gave us our property on a platter of gold. No appeal to court, no lawyer case, no nothing. Those who are fighting us may know that they are fighting because they are expending energy every day. But we don’t know they are fighting.
All those gang up then in that nation, we didn’t know them and I didn’t want to know them and I didn’t call any human aid, not even chairman of our church board. I said, “Rent another place my friend, God is big enough to defend Himself.” We own the property and they ganged up to see that we didn’t own it. Leave them. Katakata. Church Gist. I won’t tell you details. Sir, it wasn’t mentioned for prayer among the pastors. God is big enough. Can I warn you please? Don’t fight God. Only fools do it. Don’t fight any church, any. Not just your church, any church. Only fools do it. We didn’t know anybody was fighting.
There was a time in the old church, the church was just blowing and blowing. People were fighting us and fighting us. We didn’t know they were fighting. We were just growing. Church Gist. You are fighting, we are growing. Each one is doing his own thing. Praise God. You are going up. Amen. Nobody’s hatred can make God’s covenant on your life of no effect. So, maintain your covenant stance, sir. Maintain your covenant stand in the world and then you’ll be watching your victory. Lift up your right hand. Give God thanks everybody. Give Him glory and praise.
