GOD WILL CHANGE YOUR LABOUR INTO FAVOUR
NO ONE EVER GETS $TRAND£D OR GR0UND£D BEING IN LOVE WITH GOD
ALL THE LOVERS OF GOD IN SCRIPTURES ENDED UP AS STARS.
THE REASON CHURCH PEOPLE ACROSS THE AGES HAVE BEEN FRU$TRAT£D IS THAT THEY SIT DOWN WAITING FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN.
IT IS SERVING GOD THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN A BELIEVER’S LIFE.
GOD’S AGENDA OF FRUITFULNESS COVERS ALL AREAS OF OUR LIVES NOT JUST OUR BODY
SOME BELIEVERS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY. IF THEY ASK THEM TO TEAR THEIR BIBLE, THEY’LL TEAR IT
AS FAR AS LOVE FOR GOD IS CONCERNED, THERE’S NO NEUTRAL GROUND, YOU’RE EITHER IN OR YOU’RE OUT
MY HEARTBEAT FOR GOD IS MY CAPITAL SECRET
IF NOBODY ELSE CAME WITH ME TO CANAANLAND, I WILL BE HERE WITH GOD BECAUSE HE SAID TO ME THIS IS THE PLACE.
I WOULD CHOOSE TO SINK WITH GOD THAN SHINE WITHOUT HIM.
DELIGHTSOME OBEDIENCE IS A CAPITAL PROOF OF OUR LOVE FOR GOD.
WHEN YOU BECOME A FRIEND OF GOD, YOU GAIN UNIMPEDED ACCESS TO REVELATION.
SERVING GOD FAITHFULLY IS THE MOST PROFITABLE PLATFORM FOR LIVING.
DO YOU REALLY LOVE GOD, OR YOU ONLY LOVE WHAT HE DOES?
WHEN YOU ARE TRULY IN LOVE WITH GOD, YOU BECOME A CANDIDATE FOR HIS FAVOUR.
THIS (CANAANLAND) IS A FRUITFUL GROUND. EVERYONE CALLED BARREN, YOUR CASE IS SETTLED!
THE BATTLE AGAINST YOUR FRUITFULNESS IS WON TODAY!
SERVING GOD ENTITLES BELIEVERS TO ALL-ROUND FRUITFULNESS.
A LIFESTYLE OF JOY WILL ALWAYS ATTRACT GOD TO YOUR AFFAIRS.
PROPHETIC INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT TO CAJOLE MEN, RATHER TO CHANGE THEIR STORY.
AS GOD’S CHILDREN, WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO LACK ANYTHING.
WHATEVER IS NOT CURABLE IS REPAIRABLE, WHATEVER IS NOT REPAIRABLE IS REPLACEABLE.
GOD IS THE SOLE MANUFACTURER OF MAN AND HE HAS SPARE PARTS IN STORE FOR EVERY HUMAN.
JOSEPH WAS CATAPULTED FROM THE PRISON TO THE PALACE BY FAVOUR.
YOUR TESTIMONY OF FRUITFULNESS BEGINS NOW.
– Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE (4A) at Covenant Day Of Fruitfulness Service || 27th July 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service ||
Last Sunday over 2,300 people gave their lives to Christ and over 2,000 registered as members. God never lies. Let God be true and all men liars. The Midst Of The Year has been validated. What an awakening! Expect your own open rewards in return. Church Gist. For massive salvation of souls all through this year through Operation Push, Operation By All Means that is still ongoing, we give God thanks for saving and changing the lives of men.
1 Samuel 3:21. It is our Covenant Day of Fruitfulness and it is interesting to know that God’s agenda of fruitfulness covers all areas of our lives. Deuteronomy 28:4.
– Today will terminate every dry area of your life.
So it is not limited to the body. Church Gist. Yes, we are going to have amazing miracle children released today but at the same time God will terminate every dry area of anyone’s life and turn your ground to become a fruitful ground.
– Today, God will change your labour into favour.
– Your encounter is set, may you be set to connect.
No womb but a wonderful boy came forth. She never knew she was pregnant. Great things happening on their own accord. The same doctor who said there is no womb said what is happening here. The reason why Church people across the ages have been frustrated is that they sit down waiting for things to happen. He said I will distinguish them as a man distinguishes his son that serves him and him that serves him not (Malachi 3:17). Church Gist. It is serving God that makes the difference in a believer’s life. Exodus 23:25. Job 36:11. No one goes forward sitting down, we go forward taking steps. For everyone that chose to take steps in promoting the Kingdom of God in winning souls and on the altar of prayer in this prophetic season, God will surprise you.
We are in the last Sunday of the month and part 4 of our series UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE. 1 Corinthians 2:9. There are men and women to be wondered at. Being in love with God in truth and in deed makes you a sign and a wonder to your world. Church Gist. The breakthrough power of love. All the lovers of God in scriptures ended up as stars. Abraham, the friend of love – a business emperor; David, the man with a heart for God, he lives on. Jesus is holding the key in heaven called the Key Of David. No one ever gets stranded or grounded being in love with God.
By way of introduction, there are two realms of love recognized in scriptures: Love for God and love for the world. 1 John 2:15-17. Church Gist. Love is the facilitator of that experience. You’re in love with God, you don’t get off the radar of life, you’ll still be speaking after you’re dead.
As we all know, you can’t be on two sides of the coin at the same time. Exodus 32:26. We must be committed to asking ourselves the question, “which side I be? On which side am I?” No security man can be both at Canaan City Gate and at Covenant University Gate, you can’t. Church Gist. You can only be in one place per time. 1 Kings 18:21. As far as love for God is concerned, there’s no neutral ground, you’re either in or you’re out, you cannot be neutral. This becomes very important because, Matthew 24:12. It’s a thing to beware of in this endtime. The love of many shall wax cold, they’ll start interpreting Scriptures to suit their convenience. Matthew 24:12. Church Gist. It’s time to keep our love for God on fire so as to make the most of our adventure here on earth and far beyond us to our generation after us by continuing to ask ourselves whether we’re in love with God or not. 2 Corinthians 13:5. You should know.
Interestingly, God knows those who are in love with Him and the one who loves Him also knows. John 21:15-17. 1 Corinthians 8:3. Church Gist. Many are not in love with God oh, they’re only in love with what He does. “Just bless me. Papa just pray for me”, the slightest challenge, he’s off. What you wake up to know is he’s with a herbalist, running around with native Doctor. His heart is not connected. Church Gist. You can’t be in love with God and not know. You can’t be in love with God and not show, it’ll always show.
-In the Precious name of Jesus, may the love for God come alive anew in everyone’s life!
1 Corinthians 2:9. You’re in love with God, it always shows. Matthew 6:24. You cannot serve God and money, you can’t. Some believers will do anything for money. If they ask them to tear their Bible, they’ll tear it. Church Gist. Money is not evil but the love of money is the root of all evils. Someone had a breakthrough sometimes and just disappeared from the family, left the children and the wife and walked away. Breakthrough just broke him down. Money! I can talk to you free on this because I have seen money but money can never take the place of God in my life, never! Sir, you don’t know my secret until you discover my heartbeat for God. Church Gist. My heartbeat for God is my capital secret. Songs of Solomon 8:7. Circumstance can’t drown love. All this kind of love that is on when we’re shouting hallelujah and is down when you’re slightly challenged, it’s not love, check it.
-somebody’s story is changing.
Can I tell you this? Every true lover of God will end up a high flyer no matter where you find him today. Church Gist. Every true lover of God, no matter his age, when you switch on to the love of God, your story will start changing. You’re not struggling to pose a change, the change will be obvious.
Now, what is love in our context? According to Scriptures, love is about delightsome obedience to the commandment of Scripture. John 14:21. Church Gist. He’s not singing it, he’s doing it. The love of God is not in tongue but in deed. 1 John 3:18. “You have my commandment and you’re delighted in keeping it, it’s not a stress to you, then you’re in love”. 1 John 5:3.
Can you imagine a man by name David being pursued by Saul to be killed and then he had an opportunity to kill him, he was fast asleep, it was a temptation. “No, I’ll not put forth my hand against the Lord’s anointed,” then he cut a piece of the skirt on him and his heart smote him that he did. Church Gist. Come on now, keeping God’s commandments was his lifestyle and the Bible calls him: “A man after My own heart who will perform all My pleasure. A man after My own heart, a man in love with Me.”
-Somebody’s story is changing.
Delightsome obedience is a capital proof of our love for God. Psalm 112:1-3. Keeping His commandment. You know how we got here? For those who were here that time. This is not a place to come but I said something, I would rather sink with God than shine without Him. When you’re in love, you’re in love. Forget about circumstances. When you’re in love, you’re in love. You’re in love? You’re in love. Church Gist. Doing His bidding is a delight. If nobody else came here, I will be here with God and you will not have room to pity me because I heard Him say: “This is the Place!” “I know you don’t like this Place. I know it’s not normal but this is the Place!” When you’re in love, you’re in love. Thank You Jesus! Delightsome obedience! “No! You can’t tell me what to do!” Be doing what you like! God can’t tell you what to do? Then who can tell you! Who can tell you? When you become so proud – overestimation of self. Does God need you and me for anything? No! He is God whether you are on His side or not. The farther you are from His side the more a God He is.
-In the name of Jesus, may this proof become your new lifestyle where whatever God says in His Word suits you naturally. Church Gist. You are not struggling, you’re not under pressure. You are just moving. It shall be so in Jesus’ name.
Now, let’s look at some proofs of our love for God. First, what is in love that engenders breakthrough?
1. Love stirs up our spirit to keep serving God in season and out of season and serving God faithfully is the most profitable platform for living. Serving God faithfully. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 4:2. Serving God productively is a most highly rewarding platform for living. We saw from the testimony of Paul. Romans 8:35-37. In season and out of season. Acts 26:22. Serving God in season and out of season.
2. Love engenders access to divine strength. Strength that empowers for exploits. John 15:15. Daniel 11:32. Church Gist. When you become a friend of God, you gain unimpeded access to revelation which strengthens the individual for exploits.
-You will never be grounded.
It strengthens your inner man which empowers and strengthens your physical body to take on the challenges for exploits.
What is in love that engenders exploits? Love makes great things to keep happening on their own accord in the life of the believer. Matthew 22:36-40. Church Gist. Matthew 6:33. Love makes great things to keep happening on their own accord in the life of the believer. Romans 8:28.
-That’s you! From henceforth, you will not need to be stressed to make things happen. Church Gist. The love of God will keep great things happening on their own accord in your life.
What are some of the proof of genuine love for God?
When one is in love with God, he enjoys all round rest. All round rest! Jesus came as the express reflection of the Father, He was at peace in the midst of the storm. Church Gist. He was in control at all times. As we mature in our love for God, we end up being filled with all the fullness of God. Unperturbed! Ever stable, ever consistent.
-That will be our experience!
2 Chronicles 15:12-19.
-I see us being launched into a war free zone where you will be wondering whether battle is still raging because He has changed your level!
“There was no more war” and that continued for 20 years until it backed out. There was no war.
-Grace not to back out of the love for God, receive it now!
The second proof of genuine love for God is a life of favour. When you are in love with God, you’re a candidate for supernatural favour. David, the Lover, said: “God liked me to make me king.” 1 Chronicles 28:4. Every lover of God is endeared to God for favour. “…He liked me and made me king over the whole of Israel. Church Gist. He liked me.” When you are in love, you have provoked God’s favour. It endears you and I to God for favour from above and nothing flies like favour. Nothing. He granted the children of Israel favour in Egypt and terminated all their four hundred and thirty years of bondage like a dream of the night. Favour. Church Gist. The Love of God is the gateway to supernatural favour. When you are truly in love with God, you become a candidate for His favour any day, anytime. Thank you Jesus.
One example of a love-made breakthrough personality in Scriptures is Nehemiah. He couldn’t stand the affliction of the people left in captivity in Jerusalem. When he heard the news, he went into a fast in prayers. Nehemiah 1:4. Church Gist. Chapter 2, he took his life in his hand to approach the king in a most deadly fashion. He was down because of that situation. The King said “why are you sad?” And he answered “why should I not be sad? You destroyed the place of my father’s sepulchre. You broke down the walls of the city.” I mean that was equal to death on the spot. Equal to death. That was equal to death in those days. You don’t answer a king like that. In fact, it’s not safe for you to be sad in his presence. It will be seen as a plot to kill him. Church Gist. But he answered him with that heat of his heart and the King said “Okay, make you no vex. What do you want?” And he made unbelievable demands of the king. Hmm? A Cupbearer oh not the Chef. A Cupbearer. It was granted to him because of the good hand of God upon him. Everyone in love enjoys the good hand of God.
– You won’t lack the good hand of God on your life.
So, the wall was built. Night and day working. He wanted that shame removed and they ended up appointing him as their Governor. It wasn’t in the plan, it wasn’t a prayer, it wasn’t anything. He wanted the shame removed and God said “Okay, I will remove the shame and give you double glory.” That’s everyone passionate about the wellbeing of the Kingdom, that’s the kind of thing he enjoys. Church Gist. He enjoys double glory. “For your shame, you shall have double. For confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.” Isaiah 61:7. Don’t sit down and think that things will be changing. Nothing will change. “Arise” He said and then “Shine” He didn’t say “Asit” He said “Arise.” Take steps my friend! Take steps.
– Somebody has just escaped.
By Nehemiah 5:14, he was appointed Governor. He never ate the Governor’s meat. Church Gist. He was after the wellbeing of the people.
– Somebody’s story is changing.
Big question, Do you really love Him? Or you only love what He does? Church Gist. If you’re truly in love with Him, those are the things that become your portion.
In conclusion, as contained in the Epistle, to the glory of God, we have seen the hand of God in the ongoing operation by all means with massive salvation through our various outreaches. But we are required to ensure that our fruits abide which will turn our labour into favour . Church Gist. The job is not done until we see them abide. So, we are to ensure that all our new converts and new members are established both in the faith and in this Church through effectual fervent prayers for them, diverse encouragement and to ensure that they are always in Church services for their accelerated spiritual growth that will establish their dominion in Christ. It is our responsibility. He has chosen us that we should go and bring forth fruits and our fruits should abide.
– In the name of Jesus, all the fruits that God has given you in the course of this operation shall abide.
– All the ones coming in the next four days shall abide in the name of Jesus Christ.
Life up your right hand and give God thanks everybody. Give Jesus thanks. Give Him thanks for showing you the way up. Showing you and I the way out. Church Gist. Showing us the pathway to abundant life. Give Him thanks. In Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
Today is our Covenant Day of Fruitfulness as you are aware, if you came with any baby item, can I ask you to put that underneath your seat to drink into this fruitful ground. Church Gist. This is a fruitful ground.
Someone came in from Australia years ago, a white lady and was in the Camp House. Her case was written off. She stayed there for one week and when she came out to see me she said “just to see you, God has answered my prayer. I’m on my way back.” Church Gist. She got back and became pregnant and had a baby. Amen? That white child bears a Nigerian name today. This is a fruitful ground.
– Everyone called barren in this Service today, your case is settled. Your case is settled!
When one is born again, he becomes a seed of Abraham and a partaker of the blessings of Abraham. Galatians 3:13,14,29. What is it about the seed of Abraham? Deuteronomy 7:14. That is God’s verdict for the seed of Abraham. Church Gist. This Word was addressing the whole of Israel, the seed of Abraham and that’s where you and I belong today in redemption. God is saying “You shall be blessed above all people. You are my priority for fruitfulness. There shall not be male or female barren among you. Not even among your cattle.”
– In the name of Jesus, everyone called barren, I declare you mother of children.
Deuteronomy 28:18…among the curses listed, from where Christ has delivered us. Galatians 3:13.
– In the precious name of Jesus, that curse is broken in anyone’s life.
If the Cross can terminate the curse of the Lord, how much more the curse of ordinary men and agents of the devil?
– So, every resistance to your fruitfulness from the realm of the kingdom of darkness, comes under judgement today!
– The curse of witches and wizards against your fruitfulness comes under judgement today!
Among the mysteries behind our fruitfulness is serving God as a lifestyle. Church Gist. Exodus 23:25-26. Serving God entitles you and I to fruitfulness.
– Therefore, your day has finally come!
– In nine months time, your testimony is here!
Psalm 127:3. This is a stewardship addicted Church. Everyone serving God in one capacity or another in this Church that is called barren, that siege is over!
– Everyone that comes on board today as a new convert, as a new member, as an invitee; you have come into the midst of prophets, this prophecy will answer in your life!
Please note, the covenant of fruitfulness is not limited to having children as mentioned earlier but it covers all dry areas of our lives. Church Gist. Deuteronomy 28:4…and that is why, every barren area of anyone’s life comes to an end today!
But we must keep rejoicing to be fruitful. This is where the challenge of many are. I love what is written in Habakkuk 3:17-19. Yet I will rejoice! Before you will go down murmuring, yet I will rejoice. Church Gist. Some are grinning; yet I will rejoice. Some are accusing God, yet I will rejoice and God will show up! Joel 1:12. Most of us destroy our harvest without knowing. Philippians 4:4, 1 Thesalonians 5:16.
I was in a place on Friday and I was telling them about the mystery behind the longevity of Abraham. Abraham and Sarah had a laughter family. Church Gist. Their family was a family of laughter. Genesis 17:17, Genesis 18:12-13. The Bible said “through faith, Sarah received strength and the joy of the Lord is our strength.”
– Every dry aspect of your health comes to an end today!
Psalm 2:4, Ephesians 2:6. The Almighty who rules the entire World, the Heavens and the Earth is laughing so what’s your problem?…It’s the conqueror’s laughter.
– You will never know defeat again!
– I decree that every home becomes a laughter home, a home of laughter!
– No more grinning in the name of Jesus!
Proverbs 17:22, Proverbs 18:14. To write the same thing to you is not burdensome to me, Paul said, but it’s profitable to you. “Rejoice in the Lord.” Hannah rose at the prophetic word and ate bread and her countenance was no more sad. She was always returning sad from Shiloh but when her countenance was no more sad, God visited her. Church Gist. You can’t invite a fish to come to a conference room. No, it can’t survive there. God cannot come to a joyless environment. He inhabits the place of joy. Psalm 16:11. You can’t have God intervene in your affairs without fullness of joy.
You know what happens in hospitals? Everybody is looking down. If you laugh, they will think you are wicked. (Demonstrates how some people behave in the hospital) Joy is so absent. Church Gist. The devil is so present and he came to steal, to kill and destroy. In fact, some people will say, “you have not even been greeting me” – they just like that.
– But in the name of Jesus, everyone called barren here today, just get back rejoicing; haven done all, stand. You have done serving Him, He never fails. Church Gist. He will show up!
– God will show up in your matter!
– The battle over your fruitfulness is won today!
– The battle against your fruitfulness is won today!
– Your barren marital destiny is sorted today!
– Therefore in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, every siege of barrenness in anyone’s life is declared over!
John 4:36. Heaven’s wages cover our areas of need. Therefore, for every soul winner, every reaper on the Harvest Field, everyone on the Prayer Altar praying, in the Name of Jesus, you are entering your season of being paid your wages. Luke 22:35. We are not permitted to lack anything. You won’t lack protection, you won’t lack preservation, you won’t lack joy, you won’t lack peace. You won’t lack health. You won’t lack strength, you won’t lack wisdom. Church Gist. His wages cover all areas of our needs. In the Name of Jesus, you will remember this season for many years to come, because something is turning in your favour. Something that eyes have not seen is turning in your favour, in the precious Name of Jesus. Thank you Father.
Now, all of us that brought points of contact for our miracle babies today, please let’s all rise now. Bring out those points of contact. Church Gist. Prophetic instructions are not to cajole people, they are instructions to change the story of men.
– Every baby item brought in here as a point of contact is turned to physical babies today, in the precious Name of Jesus.
– Every barrier in the part of your physical fruitfulness is crushed today.
Jesus is the Great Physician. Whatever is not curable is repairable, whatever is not repairable is replaceable. Maybe some vitals are missing in your life, I decree supernatural restoration. Church Gist. I saw a woman without a womb, many years ago, 1993, without a womb. They had gone round the world by reason of their status, confirmed no womb and I gave out John 10:10 to her and the husband and I said, “God knows the d3vil is in the world, but He is the sole manufacturer of man, so He has spare parts in store for every part of a human being. You believe that, He will replace it now.” So, I ministered to them. 9 months after, they gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.
– Every negative verdict concerning everyone’s fruitfulness is averted today.
– I declare every mother in waiting, as mothers of children. Every father in waiting, as fathers of children in the Name of Jesus.
Everyone, lift up your 2 hands to heaven. I decree fruitfulness in all areas of your life. I decree an end to dry season in every area of your life in the Name of Jesus.
For 44 years and counting, your church has never known a setback, in the Name of Jesus, no economic hardship will crush your family. No one will destroy your business. The hand of God will make a difference in your life. Favour will surround you like a shield.
Everybody thought Joseph’s case was over, he was in the prison but favour found him. He was standing strong with God. Church Gist. Favour found him and catapulted him from the prison to the palace.
– There are many here today, in the Name of Jesus, I decree your supernatural access to your highway. Your high places are declared open. May everything contending with the place of God in your life be cleared off your path. So shall it be.
– While the love of many shall be waxing cold in this end time, I decree that your love for God will keep burning hotter. Every dry marital destiny is restored today and so shall it be in Jesus precious Name. Give the Lord the biggest hand of praise everybody. Amen.
Everyday of this week is declared your day, your testimony of fruitfulness begins now. All mothers in waiting, the next test will show that God has done it. Anyone that asks you any question about your fruitfulness, tell the individual that God has done it and what you say with faith in your heart, God will confirm. Church Gist. Please note that, faith is work. It is an internal work, you mix the Word you have with Faith in your heart and that commits God to perform. For with the heart man believeth to righteousness. Faith is work, talk is cheap, but faith is work. In the Name of Jesus, your faith will not fail. What has been dropped on your life today will deliver practical results and so shall it be in the Name of Jesus.
