- My distribution channel is heavy, even in the days of almost nothing.
*Somebody sowed a seed of 1 Billion (Naira) towards The Ark Project.
*Another person gave a seed of 1 Million Dollars to The Ark Project.
*These are people who do not seek to be known but are known by God.
*I know there are more than 10,000 people in this Church that can build a rural Church each but how many have the heart for it?
*When the blessing speaks, the wicked is grieved - When I see them grieved, I am very excited because it is showing that the blessing is speaking.
If you are sure you are on your way to better days; if you are sure your status is changing, lift up your two hands to Heaven, thank You Jesus. In Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
I will like you to know we are not following cunningly devised fables in this place (2 Peter 1:16). We are simply running a divine agenda.
-Therefore, for everyone in here, according God’s agenda for us, you are not permitted to suffer any oppression of the devil in your life.
For the hour has come, He said to me, to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the Word of Faith and I am sending you to undertake this task.
-Therefore, there is a prophetic covering over you against all assaults of the devil.
-Today, everyone appointed unto death by the scheming of the wicked one, your liberty is established today.
-Everyone under any siege of the wicked in your business, in your family, over your children, the siege is over today.
-Whatever you come down here with, on your prayer banquet card, on your request that you wrote on your paper shall return to you as testimonies.
The Lord said to me, get back home and make my people rich; so it is not a doctrine, it is a mandate. God enriches people under this Ministry.
-In the name of the Lord Jesus, the siege of lack and want that may be ravaging anyone’s life in this place is declared over finally.
-Welcome to your home of rest. May the grace to take full advantage of these provisions be released upon every life.
Thank You Father. Speak to me this morning, I want to hear from You! In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Father, thank You for the privilege to be gathered at your feet right now. Grant each one of us an encounter of a lifetime:
-Let no one leave here today without a definite encounter with You.
-Let the sick depart from here healed. Let the oppressed depart from here set free.
-Let the confused depart from here with clear direction.
-Let every misfortune loose their grip off your people. In Jesus precious name.
This is a multi-faceted Service and I’m sure you are going back home with your multi-faceted blessings. It’s our Covenant Day of Long Life; it’s our special monthly Anointing Service where every yoke shall be destroyed; it’s also our Prayer Banquet Service: a Banquet connotes take what you want, as much as you want. So whatever you desire of the Lord today shall be delivered for a testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.
-For anyone who has been in partnership with Jesus in this awesome prophetic season, be blessed in return in the name of Jesus.
-Every of your secret labour shall be openly and speedily rewarded in the name of Jesus.
GATEWAYS TO FINANCIAL FORTUNE
We have a 12-pillar syllabus as a Church; each of these pillars run for a month and it’s been awesome. Our own covenant balanced diet as a Commission. So you find a people prepared unto God’s agenda; with Heaven in focus and triumphant living on the earth. I am sure at the end of the day, you will know you have found your place of rest, in the name of Jesus.
WHY GOD BLESSES?
If you don’t know the reason for His blessings, you will be limited in access, if at all. We serve a God of purpose (Isaiah 14:24). There is nothing He does without a purpose part of it and if we don’t embrace the purpose, we can’t access the provisions. Most of the times, people like the product but they hate the process. It is the process that graduates into the products. You hate the process, you can’t have the products.
Why God blesses?
Let’s look at the father of blessings, by name Abraham (Genesis 12:1-2).
“…thou shalt be a blessing”- my purpose for blessing you, for lifting you is so you can be a blessing.
No one will ever be blessed beyond his commitment to being a blessing. You can pray your life out, you can stay 100 days of prayers and fasting, it won’t change your story. God will never bless any man, any woman beyond his genuine commitment to be a blessing.
“And as God has blessed everyone, so let him give” – Deuteronomy 16:17
We give according to the blessings of God upon our lives. That is the hardest stuff. You are not blessed as an accumulator, but as a distributor. If your giving is so you can be blessed, you will be limited. We all know that no matter how sweet your menu is, you don’t go to the toilet, you choke. You choke over time. That man accumulated so much, he said, “my soul rest.” He (God) said, “your body needs to rest.” People like you should not be here. So it’s God’s settled purpose for blessing His people. I can tell you that because I am in it. The blessing of God is heavy upon my life; my distribution channel is heavy and God knows. Church Gist. My distribution channel is heavy, even in the days of almost nothing.
You can’t cry and walk away from me when there is something in my pocket. I will place it in your hand, it may be small and I will proclaim a blessing on it because that’s all I had.
Sir, you better agree with this or don’t bother giving. If your purpose is just to be blessed, you will just be … limited. If you don’t know the purpose, you can’t gain full access to the blessing reserved for you. It’s not that you don’t have much, it’s that you don’t have a heart. You need a giving heart to have an enlarged coast of blessing.
1 Timothy 6:17-19
Everybody is quiet.
-You won’t miss it.
He gives us those things to enjoy: Yes, but for the enjoyment to be sustained, we must be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate (1 Timothy 6:18). That was Job’s covenant system. You read that in Job chapter 29. It is the secret of God’s unlimited blessing in man’s life (Job 29:12).
Job 29:4, 6
The rocks poured me out rivers of oil because I delivered him that cried. You see that ‘because’, that’s where the secret is:
I delivered the poor that cried and the fatherless and him that has no one to help him (Job 29:12).
Because I delivered, it’s not because I run around.
There was a time one of our converts, somebody took money from him and he was a new convert. He couldn’t return the money and the wife gave birth.
He said: Sir, I don’t have anything in Heaven or earth.
You know he is a new convert. He said, “I will kill myself if I don’t get that money.”
I said: Wait, how much? Please don’t kill yourself because your death will cost me more. I told the one who borrowed money from the new convert, “please don’t borrow money again. I have told you before.”
If you are not ready for that, you are just having fun! You mean somebody is crying in your Cell and you have what it takes to help, you shut your eyes. You have closed the door to your next level of blessing.
-No one here will shut the door against himself.
Sir, there is no reason why anybody here should be suffering if everybody carries this heart. There is no basis here for anybody to be homeless. No basis, but where is your heart?
My son here, gets houses for me when I come across people that need shelter. ‘Abi’ James! You got one yesterday too?
Response: Yes Sir.
You just sit down there, wear coat, wear 3-piece or 4-piece coat and somebody is dying, can’t go to Primary School where you are, what kind of life?
The blessing of the blessed has a secret behind it. It’s time. I signed off 2 cases of surgery this last week. I saw you because God wants me to be part of it.
-It’s time to wake up because many new generation Abrahams will rise from here.
-People with unusual large heart in helping the helpless, in promoting the Kingdom will rise from here.
If you are one of them, let me hear your loudest Amen
Friends, the Church of Christ is not a company, it is a family. We are all members of the family of God (Ephesians 2:19). Express your challenges to members of your Cell, to members of your Service group. Express yourself. Don’t hang around on the field here in Canaanland when we are still alive. It is not permitted, it is not allowed.
I met a lady, she was going in front of WOFBI (building). I said, “where are you going?”
She said: I have lost my apartment.
Okay, where are you going now? She kept quiet.
I said, “okay, take her back to Camp House, I will be paying till when you know where you are going.” Live.
It’s all over to you. Your coast will not be larger than your heart to be a blessing.
I met a lady and I said, “heyy, how are you?”
She said: fine
About 7 pm in front of Youth Chapel. She spoke very fine English. I said, “why are you not in school?”
She said: I had to defer
I said: Which school?
She mentioned it.
Relax, I gave her a note. Give this to the official that I will be paying for you.
You know her father? No. Her mother? No but carrying concrete here when I am alive than to be in the University, I can’t stand it.
On how you pray for them, “the Lord bless you and increase you”, when it is in your hand!
Well the good news here today is many people will jump into this chariot and be a blessing indeed. That’s the way it works.
God blesses His people so they can become a blessing to the Kingdom and to the world. Every time you help the helpless, you are serving the purpose of the Kingdom (Matthew 25:40). You give to the poor, you are lending to the Lord (Proverbs 19:17).
Until we understand the secret of being a blessing, we may never experience the fullness of God’s blessings in our lives. It’s more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). The more you give, the more blessed you become, that’s the meaning.
Galatians 6:10
“do good to all men” – particularly them that are of the household of faith. That’s what multiplies God’s blessings in our lives.
God blesses us for these 3 main reasons:
- To establish His covenant of abundance. I empower you for wealth to establish My covenant which I sware unto thy fathers as it is this day (Deuteronomy 8:18).
2 Corinthians 8:9, Revelation 5:12
What God is doing, is establishing His covenant with us in redemption. As you line up with what He says, the terms are. - God blesses us to promote the interest of His Kingdom on the earth (Matthew 24:14, Zechariah 1:17).
I know and I know by my spirit that we have more than 10,000 people in this Church who can build a rural Church each. Some have built before and can build again. I know we have more than 10,000 but how many have a heart for it?
“Hey, 14 Million (Naira). No, no. I have family members.“
“My family members are well taken care of, I am a responsible man.”
“My mother drove a new car before she died. I’m a responsible man.”
It doesn’t stop it, it enlarges it. Your promoting the Kingdom enlarges your coast, you are not guessing.
Some will never put a dime in rural Church building. One dime, even in their village, in front of their house. One dime.
So you brought in much and it became little, you earn wages, you have holes punched in there (Haggai 1:9)
Why? Because of My house that lies in ruin and you run everyone to his own house.
Somebody said to me, “the Lord told him to put a seed of 1 Billion in The Ark.” He is in this Church, he is not from America or Jamaica, he is from here; I knew where he was when he came here.
There are some sir, they will rather die than give 1 Billion (Naira). If God gives them 100 Billion today, they won’t let 1 Billion go. They won’t. This is how they will hold it (illustrates tight fist).
“Your life or your money?” – Take everything.
They can’t even imagine it so how will they get there, because until you can see it, you can’t get it. I’ve always seen me throwing dangerous things to the Kingdom. I always saw that even when there was nothing to throw. You don’t have a Kingdom dream, you will be limited. That’s the hub, that’s where the thing draws strength from: seek ye first (the Kingdom) and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
You want another shocker. Somebody put in a Million dollars to The Ark project. No announcement, no ‘let’s raise offering’…all this 10, 10 Kobo you are holding in your pocket like this, it is not the way out, but I know somebody is released right now. You are that one, let me hear your Amen.
I don’t know how much but I guess it must be more than 80 percent of what started our Church planting work in 1987 came from this family. Live. Somebody’s story is changing.
Just enjoy it. If you can’t build a house, buy a chair my friend. Buy a Pulpit if they (don’t) have one there: You can’t buy the one for glass, buy the one of wood. Just be part of it, let the Kingdom turn you on, let matters of the Kingdom move you, then you keep moving God for His favour.
Many people in this Church have built rural Churches. I know someone who just dedicated the 6th one not long ago. The 6th Church with Pastorium in there, furnished. People have left where you are ohh. You are the only one remaining. You better leave and put yourself on the line. These are not people wanting to be known, they are people who are known by God.
Somebody’s story must change. If that is you, let me hear your loudest Amen.
He blesses us for us to enjoy His covenant of abundance and then for us to see promotion of His Kingdom as an avenue for continuous flow of that blessing (Haggai 1:5-14).
- He blesses us to bless mankind at large. Wherever the needy are, that is where the blessing is needed.
-You are changing levels!! - Among the fringe benefits of the Giving Covenant is aversion of plagues:
It averts plagues. It is not just money coming in, it brings your way and my way, things that money can never buy. As God smelt a good savour from the altar of sacrifice that Noah reared, “I will no longer curse the earth anymore for man’s sake” (Genesis 8:20-22). The curse was averted.
When David reared an altar of sacrifice on the threshing floor of Araunah, the plague ceased (2 Samuel 24:24-25).
Then we saw this very clean picture from Psalm chapter 41 verses 1 to 3.
Psalm 41:3 – common on, get up, go to work. People like you should not be in bed, get up. Go to work.
It averts curses, it averts plagues, it stops ‘paindemics’, pandemics (or whatever they call it). You know it can’t enter here, that’s why you are as free as air in this place. Can I hear your Amen.
It averts plagues. - It provokes divine favour: You saw what happened on the altar of sacrifice that Solomon reared in Gibeon. The Lord appeared to him, “what do you want? What exactly?”
1 Kings 3:5
“Ask, what I shall give thee? Your sacrifice has provoked favour. Ask.” After he asked whatever he wanted to ask, he asked Him for wisdom, God said, “I have also given you that which you have not asked.” So the richest man on earth in his days never asked for it. It was just added to him in response to provoking the favour of God on the altar of sacrifice.
-There are many people like that here today. By the altar of sacrifice will open you to a world of favour.
-Stories of misfortune will cease forever in your life. In the name of Jesus Christ.
We saw the woman, the Shunnamite woman: she never asked anything from Elisha. Elisha said, “look woman, what shall be done for you? You care too much for us.” When you care for the Kingdom, that’s what God does.
“What shall be done? Should I speak to the king for you? What”
She said: I am in the midst of my people. I am safe, I am secured.
2 Kings 4:15
Then Gehazi said, “Sir, she has no child and the husband is also old. So you can know what trouble we are into.”
He said, “call her.” She stood by the door, he said, “according to the time of life, you will embrace a son.”
She said, “man of God, please don’t deceive me”;
That statement is loaded: maybe they have removed the womb, they have removed the ovaries, they have removed everything. It’s just there. The husband is old, we are not told how old she was but it came to pass (2 Kings 4:17). Favour brought it.
Favour: for caring for that mission. Favour gave her a son for free. The devil came and struck the son. God said, “no, you can’t kill my blessing. You can’t destroy my favour”; stepped in and brought the child back to life. (2 Kings 4:34-35).
The covenant provokes favour, bringing you what you can never attain to, by yourself. It provokes favour.
-Your life will never run out of favour again!
- More importantly, it secures the generations of our children yet unborn (Psalm 112:1-3, 9-10).
Psalm 112:10 – the desire of the wicked, plus the wicked shall perish because you don’t know what brought him into this realm of favour. You are too weak, to make God change His mind. You don’t have that power.
I can’t tell how many wicked have gone to hell now because of you.
“He built a house” – he has not built house yet. He is just starting.
“Everything is working” – Find out what is making everything work and plug in or perish.
The wicked shall see it and be grieved.
Do you know how many are grieved about our Ministry today? And you can’t tell how many have gone to hell for it. They are grieved.
“Every day, every day, every day, every day: Testimony every day. ‘Haah, kilode’ (what happened?)
You built a Church of 50,000, we have not recovered.
You are now doing 100,000. Why?
Somebody said: you should have used that money to build factory.
Who told you?
Everything on this campus, sir, government has not one dime. One dime. Not one bag of cement. One.
The wicked shall see it and be grieved. When I see them grieved, I am very excited because it is showing that the blessing is speaking. When the blessing speaks, the wicked is grieved. If they could kill me, they would have done it long time, it is me who can kill them.
He said, “I will bless them that bless you”: this is My blessing, I will secure it; he that curses you, I will curse (Genesis 12:3).
So I don’t have to know them before He curses them. Glory to God…
-The good news is that your blessing is secured. Anyone who dares you or dares your children will collapse for your sake.
-You have a secured blessing and it is secured for life.
COVENANT DAY OF LONG LIFE
Today is our covenant day of long life, we serve the God of time and seasons who has an agenda of a good old age for His children.
Say with me, “God has an agenda of a good old age for me.”
How many love a good old age? That is God’s will for you. It’s not an ambition, it is your birthright.
Genesis 15:15
-You are not permitted to be buried without attaining to a good old age.
-No one here shall be buried without attaining to a good old age.
Not when they carry you to the toilet, carry you to bath: No!! That’s not good enough.
-By the Anointing of today, everything militating against your sound health shall be destroyed forever.
Genesis 25:8 – we saw that Word came to pass
How old was it? Abraham was said to have lived 175 years (Genesis 25:7). Good old age. A good old age.
Then God came down to set a timeline. God is specific about the number of our days on earth
Genesis 6:3
God said, the Lord said, the One who said, “let there be light and light came”, The Lord said.
The Lord that said the difference between the day and the night, said, the day and the night is still standing.
The Lord said and God saw everything that He said. Behold they were very good (Genesis 1:31).
I know that in my lifetime, some men and women will come on this platform, no in the new Church, this will be overflow. Amen; say, “I thank God, I just turned 120 yesterday” and will walk to the platform.
-You believe you are one of them, let me hear your loudest Amen.
“And the Lord said, yet his day shall be an hundred and twenty years” – Genesis 6:3
The Lord said.
-Confirm your Word in my life Jesus. Say it loud, say it convincingly.
-Confirm your Word in my life. Confirm your Word in my family. In Jesus precious name we have declared.
Galatians 4:28
And Isaac lived for 180 years. The birthright of good old age was going on. Now we have that redemptive verdict of 120. And the Lord said and Jesus died to ratify the verdicts of the Old Testament, brought them into one, so we have one Testament now. Every Word of the Lord in the Old Testament has been ratified by the Blood of Jesus for confirmation and delivery to us who are heirs of salvation.
-You will be there. You and your children. You will be there.
-No one shall be buried in your household without attaining to a good old age.
Galatians 3:29
Whatsoever God said to Abraham, He is saying to us in Christ. So you have the birthright of a good old age. We saw that the Word was spoken to Moses and Moses lived to be 120 years (Deuteronomy 34:7).
Let’s now find out how good that age was: Moses was 120 years when he died. His eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 120, sound health. Natural force intact. Sound health. The Word came through him. You can’t hear from God and doubt Him.
May you hear from the Lord today. You can’t hear from God and doubt Him.
He fulfilled that Word to the letter, he was 120 years, his eye was not dim, his natural force not abated: no diminishing returns.
To experience a good old age:
- You must receive and believe the provision of a good old age to experience it (John 1:12).
- You must remain committed to serving God and the interest of His kingdom (Exodus 23:25).
- Be committed to what God says (Proverbs 18:21, Psalm 34:13)
WHAT IS IN THE ANOINTING OIL?
- The yoke destroying power of God (Isaiah 10:27)
- The breakthrough power of God (1 Samuel 18:1)
- The exemption power of God (Psalm 105:14)
- The healing power of God (Acts 10:38)
WARNINGS!
Beware of trying God. Any other source outside of God disqualifies you from getting His help (Psalm 125:1)
You better settle with God or your case remains unsettled for life.
ANOINTING
Take your bottles of oil.
-By this anointing, the yoke of fear is destroyed over your life.
The content of your bottle is declared the Holy Anointing Oil.
-With this fresh anointing oil, every declaration made on your life is declared established.
Put a little of the anointing oil on your fingertip and place it on your forehead and begin to appropriate the prophetic word over your life.
Take a shot of the anointing oil and celebrate the name of the Lord. It’s over! Hallelujah!
