BY 1996 OUR FIRST AIRCRAFT ARRIVED.
STOP BEING AN ONLOOKER. THERE IS NO AWARD FOR FANS.
BE SOLD OUT TO GOD.
YOU CAN’T BE SOLD OUT TO GOD IN TRUTH AND IN DEED AND NOT STAND OUT IN LIFE.
– Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP
Can you be dedicated and not know? Never. You cannot be dedicated to a cause and not know it. It’s not God knows, you too should know.
Examine yourself whether ye be in the faith or not (2 Corinthians 13:5). No one can examine you but you. You can’t be dedicated and not know. If you are dedicated today, it will show tomorrow.
October 3 1984, we were in our little church in Kaduna and we were in need of three thousand naira to pay for the rent of the complex for both the church and the pastor’s house. Church Gist. I said to my co-labourers in the church, now that all of us are on the same level understand what I am saying because a time is coming when some of us will take off in the air and some of you will start grumbling. If I have this money, God will not appeal to me to give it. A time will come when we take off in the air and you say “I don’t know what they are using”. Let me tell you what I am using, I am sold out to God.
September, 18 1996 our first aircraft arrived. Between ’84 and ’96, you better get dedicated. If you are sown today, it will show tomorrow. No fan ever wins a prize. No fan has ever returned with a medal from any sporting event. Please stop watching, don’t be an onlooker. Church Gist. You can’t be sold out to God in truth and in deed and not stand out in life. The mystery of the glory of your tomorrow lies in your sustainable dedication in season and out of season. When challenged, when okay. When things are working and when the wind is contrary. Our dedication is constant.
Lift up your two hands and receive grace for sustainable dedication. The day you uproot the seed, that is the end of the tree. Church Gist. The future of our life as a seed is in our sustainable dedication.
Lord help me to stay dedicated to you and the interest of your kingdom all the days of my life.
Thank you Jesus, blessed be your name.
- There are many lives here that will still be speaking thousands of years after if Jesus tarries.
- Your children, grandchildren and even great grand children are going to be swimming in the blessings your dedication has attracted.
Don’t mind mockers, mind Your Maker. Obey His commandments and reap the results.
- Every single one under the sound of my vice this morning be blessed for following God.
- May nothing get you off the back of Christ.
- You will live long enough to eat the fruit of your labour, I decree over you a fruitful old age.
- You will take your family to heaven, no member of your family will be lost.
