- Bishop David Oyedepo on Unlocking The Supernatural Part 1A at Prophetic Entrance Service || 1st November 2026 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland || First Sunday Service ||
We are on our way to better days.
- November shall be the best month till date of your life.
- Everything will keep working together in your favour.
- It shall be a most humbling month for every one of us. Church Gist.
- God’s presence will be undeniable.
- God’s hand will be openly visible.
- Everything will be a testimony.
- November is today declared your month of testimonies.
- Whatever remains of God’s agenda for your life for the year shall find fulfillment this month.
- You are arriving at Shiloh in your new status.
The prophetic focus for the month is I Am Redeemed A Wonder To My World. Isaiah 8:18. You are to be wondered at. Church Gist. You are redeemed to be an amazement.
- In the name of Jesus, this month whatever makes people ask ‘where is your God’ will be turned into a testimony.
That man got free from 200 million worth of indebtedness. Everything turned around within four months. Church Gist. A new house, a new car, from down the valley to ₦200,000,000. That’s the supernatural.
- somebody’s story is turning today.
Someone came here for the first time last Sunday. He sent us his testimony on Monday. He was invited by his brother. He said as the prophetic word was going on, he said he felt a cool breeze. Church Gist. He arrived at work on Monday and had the biggest form of favour he has ever had. He said he is now a member of this church. God’s hand.
Let me tell you this: Every word declared applies to whosoever believes. Not that God has marked some people to be blessed and some others to be at the same spot. Church Gist. Every word released applies to whosoever believes.
- May today be your day.
- My prayer is that you will not only be taught how to operate in the supernatural, it will become your new lifestyle.
- The supernatural shall become your new natural realm in the name of Jesus Christ.
Our teaching series for the month is captioned Unlocking The Supernatural. It connotes it is within us, we only have to unlock it to manifest it. John 3:8. Every one born of the Spirit is born a wonder. Church Gist. He carries wonder genes. Every one born of the Spirit is born a wonder to his world, he bears wonder genes within his system. He only needs to learn how to unlock it.
We are offspring of the wonder working God and like begets like. You can’t have a wonder working God as your father and be a wonderless child. Church Gist. Exodus 15:11. He is a wonder doing God and we are His wonder doing children, so it is our right to operate in the supernatural.
There is a pathetic story of a captured lion cub that grew up among sheep. She began to behave like a sheep having lost her identity to the environment. Every time they went for watering in the stream and the lion showed up at the other side, all the sheep fled for their life including the lion sheep. Church Gist. One day, as the sheep were out again for watering, it suddenly caught its reflection from the water and realized it doesn’t look like the other ones. It looks like the one they used to flee away from. So when next a lion showed up on the other side of the stream, it didn’t flee. It had discovered its identity. It crossed over and they welcomed it back to the family.
The problem with most of us in the faith is that we have stayed so long within this natural environment. The supernatural appears very strange. You talk about it and they say you don’t know what you are talking about. They say let’s face the facts. You don’t know what you are talking about. Because we have been here for too long, we have lost our identity to the environment where we find ourselves. Church Gist. We think what they think, we speak what they speak, so we suffer what they suffer. Otherwise, no fallopian tube yet first son, second son. That’s your God. Sickle cell anaemia, incurable they called it but now 27 years after you are still bouncing. Completely gone!
- In the same vein, that thing they say will kill you will come out of you today.
Please understand that the supernatural is the natural estate of the believer, that’s where we are redeemed to operate in and today marks a new dawn in everyone’s life. Church Gist. Therefore, to operate in the supernatural, we must have to suspend our natural senses as in the following instances:
Abraham had to do that to receive Isaac. Romans 4:19. He suspended his natural intellect to secure a supernatural package. Church Gist. I mean, God said, “bring your only son Isaac” and He said he responded because he believes God is able to bring him back to life after cutting his neck and setting him on fire. Suspended.
Moses had to suspend his natural senses to head back to Egypt as a wanted Man at an old age of 80 with his entire family. That will not add up for any man that is thinking. Church Gist. You fled 40 years ago, you have not lost your height or face, they have it in their story that one Moses fled and now Moses now came to confront. How?
Gideon had to do the same to deliver Israel from the hands of the Midianites from an army of 32,000 reduced to 300 by God and he still went ahead and he prevailed. Church Gist. Most of the times, our intellect is our greatest problem in operating in the supernatural. “This is what God says”, but you say, “doctor said”. “This is what God says but the reality of the fact is..” so, which one is more real? It’s impossible to operate in the supernatural without suspending our natural senses at the command of His Word.
These people were not children, Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego, to dare the fiery furnace, this one must be suspended first. Daniel 3:16-18. Church Gist. They did and God came in, God came through for them. “Thou shall not have any other god beside me” was the Word they were trading. And God said, “yes, that was my verdict, I’ll stand out to defend you”. There was no smell of fire on them. And Daniel would not pray to the golden image but to the Heavenly Father, they cast him into the Den of Lions, there was no scratch on his flesh. Church Gist. No natural man will subscribe to going into the den of a lion, Daniel did. Daniel 6:23.
Paul was set to be lost in the sea overnight, 2 Corinthians 11:25 and he got up, not to the hospital, back to the field. Church Gist. So, the supernatural is the manifestation of the Word we receive, believe and engage with which God confirms with signs and wonders. The Word comes, you receive it, you believe it and you put it to work, then God confirms it into signs and wonders. John 1:12. Church Gist. You receive the Word and you believe the Word and you engage with the Word, you’re empowered to experience it. Thank you Jesus.
This is one thing we must go away with this morning, that God’s Word is the divine mirror that shows our real picture from God’s perspective. Church Gist. This is the manufacturer’s manual and it x-rays its products – this is the makeup of this product and what it can do. James 1:22-25. So, God’s Word is God’s mirror that reveals God’s perspective, God’s picture of us to us. Church Gist. It is a discovery of who we are that determines what we can do.
Who am I? What has new birth made of me? 2 Corinthians 5:17. What has new birth made of me?
- I am redeemed a spirit being in human flesh. John 3:6. It’s not spiritual. So, when Adam fell, his spirit man died, when Jesus came, that spirit man was reborn, life came back to that spiritman. Church Gist. So, every child of God is a spirit being. You know God is a spirit and we must Worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24. And like begets like, so new birth is a new born spirit. Church Gist. When that spirit was alive in Adam, he had uncheckered and unchallengeable dominion, when that spirit died, Adam lost dominion. So, new birth is the restoration of our dominion on the earth.
What died in Adam was not his body, he was still walking around. It was not his soul, he was still able to think a bit but the Spirit man that connected him with God died and that came back to life at new birth. Whatsoever was lost in Adam has now been spiritually restored; so dominion is restored back to man. Church Gist. We are no longer living under circumstances, we are now in command of circumstances and situations.
Say with me: I have been redeemed as a spirit being in human flesh. What was lost in the first Adam that made him to lose dominion has been restored to me through the mystery of new birth.
Everything was subject to Adam. Adam was only to be subject to God but he messed up. Church Gist. Acts 14:11. That’s what new birth is about. It’s the mystery behind gods in the likeness of men.
- We are not only redeemed as sheep of His flock, we are also redeemed as lions to prevail in the battles of life.
Romans 5:5. John 20:21. We are the sheep of His pasture but in battle, we have been redeemed as lions after His order. Church Gist. Lions will always prevail in the jungle. Therefore, we are redeemed to prevail where others travail.
-In the name of Jesus, your days of struggles have come to an end.
Say with me: I’m redeemed to prevail where others travail. I’m redeemed as a lion after the order of Christ who is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Church Gist. Therefore, my days of struggling for survival in the jungles of life are over today. John 17:18.
- I am redeemed to operate in the realm of unlimited possibilities.
John 14:12. You mean greater than Jesus did? Unlimited possibilities.
-So, I release you into a world of unlimited possibilities.
Paul, the Apostle came up and said: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Unlimited possibility is our heritage in redemption. Mark 9:23. Unlimited possibilities. Now today we look at “Unlocking The Supernatural By The Power Of The Word.” Signs and wonders are raw confirmation of the Word for whosoever believes. Mark 26:17-20. Raw confirmation of the Word, received, believed and acted upon is what engender signs. Hebrews 1:3. It is what is in command of all things. Very interesting. John 1:1-3. He still upholds all things by the Word of His power because His Word created all things. So His Word has the legal right to remain in command of all things.
-Therefore, anything out of control in anyone’s life, your turnaround is today.
According to Scriptures, the Word is the Sword of the Spirit. Ephesians 6:17. And we bear the Sword to revenge the works of the wicked. Romans 13:4. Ephesians 6:17. So we engage the Word to execute wrath against the wickedness of the wicked. “It is written.” Matthew 4:4. “It is written.” Matthew 4:7. “It is written.” Matthew 4:10. And then satan left. Matthew 4:11. So the Word is not for fancy talk and other talk, it’s a sword of the Spirit to silence the devil.
Jesus silenced the devil by, “It is written.” “It is written.” “It is written.” Whenever challenged, we are to put God in remembrance of His Word for our desired victory. Isaiah 43:26. Isaiah 41:21. That’s how the Word provokes the supernatural. Access to the right Word when received and believed and put to work will always result in the supernatural. Please, listen! The Word received, believed and acted upon will always result in the supernatural. Let’s stop playing religion, let’s begin to experience the reality of the Kingdom life.
What Is In The Word That Unlocks The Supernatural?
- God’s Word is creative. The first manifestation of the Word is in Genesis 1 and its creative nature was established. ‘And God said’ Genesis 1:1 and we saw how He brought these things to be. Church Gist. Genesis 1:3,4. ‘And God said and God saw’ Genesis 1:31. God said, God saw, creative power. God’s Word carries creative power with it. When the Word comes alive in us with faith in our hearts, we create our desires.
- The good news today is this, your days of struggle are over.
Whatever He tells you to do, what do you do? (Do it) Wine is finished, whatever He tells you to do, do it. Church Gist. Shame is staring you in the face, whatever He tells you to do, do it. Whatever He tells you to do, do it. The power that creates solutions is in the Word.
- I see you creating solutions from now.
Say with me; God’s Word is creative.
- God’s Word is prophetic. Every statement of Scripture is “thus saith the Lord” Isaiah 34:16. 2 Peter 1:19,20. So, he calls it the more sure Word of prophecy. God’s Word is prophetic. It reveals God’s agenda for you and me. Church Gist. Stop receiving His Word as mere information. His Word is creative, His Word is prophetic. “This is my plan for you, you receive and believe it, then you experience it.” God’s Word is prophetic. It speaks to our future. It secrures our destiny.
- You are going places.
- God’s Word is reproductive. It’s a spiritual seed with unlimited capacity for fruit bearing. You receive the seed of the Word, you subject it to appropriate nurturing, it continues to bear more fruit. 1 Peter 1:23. God’s Word is the incorruptible seed. When received in your spirit man and you keep nurturing it, it keeps on bearing fruits. You keep believing and doing what He says to do, you keep producing fruit after fruit. Thank you, Jesus. Luke 8:11. God’s Word is the seed, the incorruptible seed, you have it today and you keep nurturing it, it keeps producing fruit.
Like your cocoa seedling for instance, it might be hanging around for 3 years, 4 years, before it begins to bear fruit and then it keeps bearing fruit for the next 40, 50 years, but not by waiting for it, but by nurturing it. Church Gist. You are constantly clearing and making sure everything is okay around it, applying insecticide when you need it. So, don’t wait for the seed to bear fruit on its own, you take responsibility to nurture the seed, it grows, you keep pruning the trees to keep bearing fruit. Any faith that seeks to make God absolutely responsible for the outcome of our lives is an irresponsible faith. Church Gist. All these begging God to do things is not the way to go. That’s children’s approach. “What shall I do?” and get on to start doing it and watch what will start happening.
- I see you stepping into another dimension of fruitfulness in your life where God’s Word will keep producing in your life.
That’s why some things we receive at a point work for a while and won’t work again because we stopped taking care of it, we stopped nurturing it, it won’t work again. I received the seed of Matthew 6:33 50 years ago and I’ve been nurturing it, I’ve been watering it, I’ve been engaging with it and it’s producing by day, day by day producing. Church Gist. I received the Word of prosperity some how many years now, I can’t tell, ’82 till date, that’s 44 years. I’m nurturing it, I’m looking after it, I’m pruning it, I’m doing it and it’s producing fruit in multiplied forms. That’s how every Word does. I received the Word on hitch free marriage 45 years ago and I began to prune it, I began to nurture it and it’s growing hitch free, stress free, tension free. Please, mind the treatment of the seed. Church Gist. Mind what? Mind how you treat the seeds. Mind how you prune the trees to keep the fruits coming and multiplying in the name of Jesus! Any seed of the Word received has unlimited potential for fruitfulness.
- God’s Word carries healing virtues. There is healing virtue in the Word. “He sent his Word and it healed them, delivered them from all their destructions.” “Christ was teaching in their synagogues and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.” Church Gist. Matthew 4:23, Psalm 107:20. God’s Word carries healing virtues. You can go to the Word for treatment. You can go into the Word for treatment.
We have a very interesting illustration here of a young chap that was 4 years old and then he said, “I don’t want anything for my birthday today. Follow me to the bookstore.” He went to the bookstore. He picked the book, “Healing Scriptures” and told the mother to keep reading it while they were driving back home. The mother got to one page; he said, “read that page again. Read it again. Read it again.” (He got) freed from sickle cell anemia and he testified when he turned 11. 7 years after, still freed. Church Gist. A small child! Let’s stop playing religion, Sir. Let’s come real. There is healing virtue in the Word. We can go to the Word for healing. You can get healing materials and you know, enforce your healing health and wholeness. Thank you Jesus.
A man read the book, “Keys To Divine Health” 1986 and walked out of hypertension and high blood pressure and met me in 1996, 10 years after; he says, “I’m still hale and hearty.” Healing power in the Word!
- It’s your turn!
- No one here dies of sickness anymore.
- If anyone came with any challenge in your health this morning, in the name of the Lord Jesus, that great Physician, be made whole in Jesus name!
- Be set free in the name of Jesus!
- So shall it be in Jesus name!
That is how we unlock the supernatural by the Word.
- God’s Word carries breakthrough virtues. Breakthrough virtues. The entrance of his Word gives light. Psalm 119:130. Isaiah 60:1-3…breakthrough! Isaiah 60:8 – breakthrough! Church Gist. Isaiah 60:15 – breakthrough! Isaiah 60:22. “A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation by the power of the light in the Word.” That light shines in darkness and darkness can’t stop it.
- Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I decree your access to the breakthrough power of the Word!
The light of the Word shatters all the works of darkness. “For that light shines in darkness and the darkness cannot handle it.” I once shared with you a testimony of a relation of mine that was assaulted by the spirit of insanity and I was dwelling in John 1 that time and I got in there. “The light that shines in darkness and darkness cannot handle it.” He stood up in the midst of that insanity prostrated and greeted me and I said, “dress him up. Put him in my car. Let me see the devil that can enter my car with me.” Church Gist. Light has uncheckered dominion over darkness any day, any time. December 25th, 1983 – he’s sound and clean till now without any medication. After that, he went to the university, completed his program. He’s married. Two of his children are now graduates. He would have been on the street. The power of light that shatters the works of darkness resides in the Word. Resides where?
We saw a mad man in one of our outreaches and then that evil spirit came back on him and he became very violent and wild and so they called me in the camp and I said, “leave him. I shot at him Jude 6 – the angel that left their first estate that did not keep their habitation, they are chained up in darkness unto the day of judgement. Church Gist. What are you doing here?” (He breathed heavily) The power of light! All the demons left – the power of light! Please, understand that your deliverance is in the Word. Your what?
- You will never be bound again!
- Nightmares end in your life today!
- Fighting in your sleep ends today!
- Being forced to eat in your dream ends today!
- Spirit husband, spirit wife ends today!
This is because the Word is the arrow of light that shatters the works of darkness. Also know that the Word is a hammer that breaks all the rocks of barriers on our path. Church Gist. “Is my word not as hammer that breaks the rocks in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29. His Word is hammer that breaks the barriers on your path in pieces.
- Nothing blocks your way forward again!
The Word is also the fire that burns off all the stubbles on your path. Church Gist. All the stubbles, all the rubbish on your path.
- Therefore, in the name of the Lord Jesus, whatever represents a barrier on your path going forward, clears off finally today!
But not just any Word but the right Word. The right Word. He said, “how forcible are right words?” Not just quoting scriptures, right scriptures – rightly dividing the Word of truth.
2 Timothy 2: 15. But thank God, the Holy Spirit is our access to the right word. He would teach us according to the word, all things and bring to our remembrance all things whenever we are challenged. Church Gist. He is our master helper in locating the right word in dealing with the issues of our lives. Corinthians 2:12-14. So, it takes being spiritual to assess the right word in dealing with issues that may rise on your path. A natural man cannot assess it, only a spiritual man can assess it.
· In the precious name of Jesus, no one here gets stranded anymore!
Finally, the word is the rod with which we command the supernatural. Exodus 4:17. Isaiah 11:1-2. The carrier of the seven Spirits of God and Jesus is the living word. John 1:1-16. Church Gist. We behold His glory. Jesus is a living word. So, the word of God is the rod with which we command signs. Please take this parable and go and take responsibility. The supernatural is your natural realm, but you need the rod in your hand to command it. The supernatural is your right in Christ, but we all need the rod to command it.
I got free from tuberculosis by the word from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus, if it is true that you did all that is written that you did here, do it now. He said, “Yes, I did it and I’ll do it again.” Church Gist. and He did it. 57 years ago. My daughter said she advanced four reasons why she should not be sick and God said, “Correct. Be well! It’s time to go for the rod. You have struggled enough. Please go for the rod. Go for the word and you are in a supernatural church where supernatural are natural experiences. So, don’t be left out. Please don’t be left out.
I just wrote a book ‘Training To Operate In The Supernatural. There are things that people did to command the supernatural. Church Gist. Look for it. We have a whole compendium of signs and wonders today, classified testimonies here and there. Go for it! Without the word, nothing puts you in command of the supernatural. Imagine Moses without a rod, he will be slain. Everybody needs a rod to be in command.
· In the name of Jesus, I decree that everyone’s understanding opens up to this and begins to engage accordingly in the name of Jesus Christ!
Well, the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof. You can’t tell where it’s coming from or where it’s going and so is everyone that is born of the Spirit. Church Gist. So, until one is born again, he is not eligible to operate as a sign and a wonder. Our pre-Shiloh encounter service is here. It shall be a strong visitation of the Holy Spirit.
· The supernatural will be flowing like a river. Chains will be broken. Destinies will be opened up. Every trapped soul shall be set free in the name of Jesus!
Has God not done you well? Church Gist. Those four Sundays will mark a turning point, an irrecoverable turning point for every living soul in Jesus’ name. I was privileged to see how many buses members bring to church to convey worshippers from their area. It’s amazing.
· Now be blessed in the name of Jesus!
· All our service unit workers are blessed in the name of Jesus!
· All our volunteer drivers are blessed in the name of Jesus!
· All cell ministers in this great church, be blessed in the name of Jesus!
· All house providers, I decree your homes as Obed-Edom homes!
· Blessings that speak will remain your portion in the name of Jesus Christ!
· For all our ordained workers, be blessed in the name of Jesus!
· For all of your investment in this church at whatever level, be blessed in return!
· The week is declared your week and the month is declared your month!
· The showers of blessings continue…You will testify!
· This week in particular, the rod will deliver in your hand. The rod of life will deliver in your hand. Church Gist. It will impart on your health, impart on your family, impart on your business and career, impart on your journeys going out and coming in the name of Jesus Christ!
So shall it be in Jesus name….
