WHEN WE STARTED TITHING THE CHURCH INCOME, WE WERE NOT 1 MILLION NAIRA WORTH AS A CHURCH:
GOD STEPPED IN CHAPTER BY CHAPTER, BLESSING AFTER BLESSING TILL WHERE GRACE HAS BROUGHT US TODAY. WE DID NOT RECEIVE THAT GRACE IN VAIN; WE LABOURED TO ACCESS THAT REALM.
NOBODY CAN PRAY AND FAST INTO PROSPERITY. THE PROSPERITY THAT REFRESHES REQUIRES YOUR DELIGHTSOME ENGAGEMENT WITH THE TERMS OF COVENANT WEALTH
NOTHING OF VALUE IS FREE, PEOPLE WANT FREE THINGS THAT’S WHY THEY STRUGGLE.
EVERY ATTACK ON THIS COMMISSION IS A MATTER OF ENVY. NO ONE WANTS TO BE STRUGGLING IN LIFE.
- Bishop David Oyedepo at 1st Service, Faith Tabernacle Encounter with Destiny Service.
Prophetic words are not about what you can do or what I can do, it is about what God wants to do and will do as we set to believe Him. We have seen quite a number of humbling things in our ministry that doubting God at this point will amount to a sin. Even we, building our own small apartment, we have a budget for it. Imagine God building this thing without requiring a budget in place. Church Gist. He is up to anything He says. When God speaks, He speaks according to Himself- His wisdom, creative ability and capacity. God speaks according to Himself, what He can create if you believe Him. Something must strike a chord positively in everyone’s life today.
Despising prophetic words is always at a loss to such individuals. A prophetic word targets the manifestation of the strange acts and works of God. The things you can’t explain or analyze, that’s what prophetic words engender.
- The weeks ahead of us will be wonder weeks in the name of Jesus Christ.
Again the prophetic word for the month is ‘I AM REDEEMED A WONDER TO MY WORLD’. Say this “I am not redeemed a wanderer, I am redeemed to be wondered at. The hand of God upon me is to compel men to wonder at my life. This is my season to step into this realm and walk in it for life”.
Our teaching focus for the month in our Sunday Services is captioned UNLOCKING THE SUPERNATURAL. It is in you but you have to unlock it so it can flow out and add value to your life and my life.
Isaiah 7: 14-15
Having it the way you want is supernatural. John 20:21. You and I are sent as signs to our world to have our choice at all times the way we want. You are released as a sign to the world to have your choice established in all issues of life. It is the area of privilege I have worked in over the years and it is privileged insight on how to unlock it the way you want. The master key for unlocking this is the Word. Exodus 4:17. What’s the rod? Isaiah 11:1-3. Jesus is the carrier of the seven spirits of God (Revelation 5:6). Jesus, the Living Word is the rod. Every time you invoke “it is written…” coupled with faith particularly fasting powered faith, not chocolate faith. Church Gist. He said why couldn’t we cast it out? This kind doesn’t go out with all the chocolate you are eating around town. It goes by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Power for maximum delivery has to be powered. What we operate with today around the world is mostly powerless faith – toothless faith, mental assent faith. No playboy comes forward with anything meaningful. Let’s wake up.
Exodus 4:17
A woman came to me those early days in ministry and was crying for a baby after 18 years of marriage. I had just found Deuteronomy 7:14 and I said do you know how to read? She said Yes and I said read this. She read it and I asked her do you believe it? She said Yes, now receive. Nine months after, bouncing baby boy. We were in this crusade in 1980, a mad man had several evil spirits come upon him. They were all struggling with him, all the men of muscles. I said leave me and I shot at him one scripture (Jude 1:6), I said what are you doing here? all the demons left at once. People should have a renewed value for revelation, that’s the key that unlocks the supernatural. Church Gist. We struggle for nothing as a ministry. If we are struggling, you should know, yet we are in command of everything. The supernatural is more real than the natural in this place and that is the realm that you have been redeemed to operate in. By the time we sit down religiously, listen religiously, stand religiously and greet one another religiously. What did Papa say today? Papa spoke today oh. What did he say? I said He spoke. What did you hear? You need to hear Papa, he was hitting me as he was speaking. That’s the key of command, the word. As many as received the word, He gave them power to manifest as sons of God (John 1:12). The supernatural is not somewhere in the sky, it is in you. It is not somewhere coming to happen, it’s in you.
Jesus the Sign lives in you. Colossians 1:27. The Master sign is in you and I seeking to have expression. The Kingdom is within you now, you need to unlock it now. We sing a lot about heaven – no more sorrow, joy unlimited, it is within you, you just need to unlock it. When you hear me say I am not going to heaven, I am in heaven already that is what I am talking about. I am not trying to go there, that’s where I live and I am trying not to be drafted away from that place. That’s where you live but you have not come to discover it. You discover it but you don’t know how to make it happen. That’s why you need the word. More often than not, the word does not come to you just on your reading table. The word breaks forth through fasting and prayer. (Isaiah 58:8). There are things you and I will never see forever until we engage the power of prayer and fasting to blast the blindfolding forces of hell. Church Gist. I read Kenneth Copeland’s book four times until I went on a fast for three days and then light broke out and I gained command of wealth – March 21/22. So all these saying I am believing God, get to the point where you believe not you are believing. I stepped into supernatural financial fortune without a dime in my hand by light. Thou shall take this rod in thy hand..” so it’s not the rod you hear, it’s not the rod you see, it’s the rod you handle. 1 John 1:3. You need to get to a point where you handle the rod of command. When I say one billion demons can’t stand in my way, I know what I am talking about because I have the rod in my hand. When I say all occultic powers put together cannot stop me, ask them they know I have the rod.
- In the name of Jesus, this resurrection month you are taking over the rod of command.
- In any area of your life where you may have lost command, you shall regain command.
When you find books been recommended, they are recommended so you find a rod that puts you in command in that area. My rod of command on principalities came through the ministry of Smith Wigglesworth. I never met him, he had gone to heaven before I came to know what ministry is all about but through his ministry, the Lord put me in command in that area.
Isaiah 52:1-2.
You don’t need anybody to come from anywhere if you know what is in you by redemption, you will wake up and take command. John 3:8. Being born again is your registration in the school of the supernatural. Acts 14:3. They only hear you sound your voice and signs follow, that is the status of everyone that is born again. My beloved, that is your status. Being born again connects you to God’s DNA, the one that works wonders without number. Being born again is a rebirth of your spirit man that brings you to the same realm as God, the source of all wonders. Church Gist. Let’s take responsibility, that’s where we are going. Nothing can be more taunting to the devil and his cohorts than your divinity connection. A discovery of your divinity within humanity is the greatest headache of the devil.
- I know people are reading this that the remaining days of your life as Jesus tarries, you will never be tormented by sickness again.
- You will never suffer ups and downs in your endeavours again
- You never suffer the assault of wicked forces again.
Hosea 4:6.
The Lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed. You don’t prevail as a sheep, you prevail as a lion. Jesus is both a lion and a lamb. He sacrificed Himself as a lamb and prevailed over the gates of hell as a lion. Revelation 5:5.
- May the lion in every one of us come alive this month.
Proverbs 30:30, John 3:8.
Darkness can’t scare light, your scares must get terminated this month. People in this community were afraid to enter this place but we came and started slaying all the devils by command. Birds were dropping from the sky in this place, it is a no-flight zone. Church Gist. You don’t fly ‘yeye’ power across here you drop straight. Ephesians 1:21. You never hear anywhere that darkness despises the authority of light. That is the secret behind your supernatural manifestation. Mark 9:23
Today is our Encounter With Destiny Service. Say with me “I am a child of destiny, I refuse to leave as a destitute”. You cannot afford to live by trial and error. You are a child of destiny, you cannot afford to live like a destitute. You are not an orphan, your Father is the King of the universe. Church Gist. You don’t find the child of the president on the streets begging. You are destined and entitled to the best of treatment in the domain of your Father. Have revelation of your destiny in revelation, believe it, do what it commands and you are free.
- Every child of God has a glorious destiny in Christ.
Romans 8:29-30. Everyone justified by the blood is justified to be glorified not to be ‘shamefied’. Therefore shame is not part of your package in redemption and from now, every form of shame and reproach shall not be traced to you anymore. That covers every area where they are asking you where is your God. - Every child of God has an enviable destiny in Christ.
Genesis 26:12-14, Galatians 4:28
We share a common heritage with Isaac, we are a people to be envied not to be pitied. You don’t have a pitiable destiny in Christ, you have an enviable destiny and you belong to an enviable Commission. You know every attack on this Commission is a matter of envy. There is no one who wants to be struggling in life. You mean 41 years, never borrowed or begged once. Who doesn’t like that? God’s word working with power, who doesn’t want that? Multi Billion naira projects everywhere without stress or strain, who doesn’t want that?
- Therefore, every pitiable situation on anyone here gets off your neck today.
Everything on this ground emits signs. In the precious name of Jesus, I decree your access to this enviable realm of life. Enviable career, enviable finances, enviable family life, enviable spiritual life. For that is your destiny in Christ.
- You have a mountain top destiny in Christ.
The topmost top is where you belong, not in the middle, not at the bottom.
- Your tenure in the realm of average is over this month.
- Your tenure at the bottom in any area of life is finally over now.
Hear this, an economic holocaust is going to hit this world but you can save your life.
- You have a prosperous destiny in Christ.
2 Corinthians 8:9.
He paid the price for a wealthy lifestyle for you and me. Revelations 5: 12. He obtained for us power, next to it is riches. We have a financial fortune destiny in Christ. You better see it, where you live is immaterial, the profession you belong to is immaterial, it is your covenant tie that commands our access.
The Lord said to me “there is a place on top for you if you are interested”. I said I am interested. He said whatever I tell you to do, do it. This destiny will lie fallow without waking up to your own responsibility. You have a glorious destiny in Christ, among the requirements is Proverbs 11:30, 3:35, 14:28, I Samuel 2:30. Glory and honour answer to your heart for God and for the lost among others. Nothing of value is free, people want free things that’s why they struggle. Papa is very lucky, we are preaching the same thing. If we are preaching the same thing does it mean we are doing the same thing? That you preach glory and people are shaking on their chairs does not mean you will see the glory, you must do what it takes to see glory. How much honour do you have for God in your natural life? Church Gist. How much reverence do you have for God? you are serving God but they even wish you are not in their service group. Because the trauma of your being there is a problem. When you are not around, they are very happy. Is that service? That’s troubleshooting. They don’t miss you when you are not there apart from your trouble. How much honour do you have for God, God says something and you hiss, to God? And then you want him to decorate your life.
You have a gorgeous destiny, the devil is very envious of you. Don’t give him a room, give God his first place of honour and reverence and then you have it.
- It is your turn for a dramatic change of story.
You have a financial fortune destiny, but are you committed to the terms of the covenant of wealth? How much you are will determine the level of fortune you will ever walk in? Have you subscribed to a lifestyle of the tithing of God’s blessings in your life? Are you a kingdom promoter in any form? Do you mind the needs of the needy around you when it is in your power to help out? Do you give to your parents in honour so you can pull out blessings from them? These are all terms. That is why nowadays boys are in trouble, they are just going around town with ears plugged, can’t hear anything, hands in their pockets. Church Gist. You will never be like that. Your children will not be like that. It’s never late to be right. Nobody can pray and fast into prosperity. The prosperity that refreshes requires your delightsome engagement with the terms of covenant wealth. From this Forest, the world claims I am the richest pastor in the world, How? It doesn’t matter where you live. The eyes of the Lord moveth to and fro in all the earth to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are perfect towards Him. So engage with quality covenant work with the terms of wealth and you will see your prosperity. The ball is in your court.
When we started tithing the Church income, we were not 1 million worth as a Church, God stepped in Chapter by Chapter, blessing after blessing till where grace has brought us today. We did not receive that grace in vain; we laboured to access that realm. Church Gist. The good news is, your destiny right now is in your hand, do what you want with it. This applies only to the born again, until you are justified you cannot be glorified. You have to be born again to be a partaker of this destiny.
I have said it before that there is a rising army of giants in this Commission. Of the highest concentration in human history. Not one thousand giants, not two thousand, not ten thousand, not fifty thousand. Those who were here years ago, I said where we are going no one should raise naked seed anymore, put your seed in an envelope so it doesn’t depress those who are just beginning in the faith. I said shortly, your seed cannot be carried in cash, it has to be in a cheque. I was blowing that hot 1992/93. I knew where He was taking us, He does nothing without letting His prophets know. Church Gist. Now we have gone beyond cheques, people are now doing direct transfers. He speaks about the future as real as the day. He showed me I was in one place ministering and I was being watched across the globe on the screen at the same time. There was no internet technology when God showed me. He speaks to the future of the people through his prophets. I am saying to you again that there is coming an army of giants, of the highest concentration, from the same platform since the world began.
He showed me this 50,000 sanctuary 17 years before we saw it. He showed me how we are flying our own aircraft 14 years before we saw it. It was madness to say that then but He cannot deny Himself, whatever He says He creates. Church Gist. You may choose to enlist among these giants today by how positively you respond to the revelation of His word. What we know does not change us, it is what we do with what we know.
- The days of pity are over in your life. The days of struggle are over in your life.
We are in the final season of the seventh year of the Wonder Double Prophetic Visitation of May 2nd 2015 which changed the face of the Ministry and has kept changing it till now. God is making a release to the world, Therefore following the order of Joseph’s release from prison, every Winner is ordained to experience a minimum of 4 quantum leaps this year in heavenly commemoration of the end of the Wonder Double Visitation. Church Gist. In the same way, it came to Joseph like a dream of the night, so shall it be for every Winner genuinely connected in this Prophetic season. Never ask how shall these things be, God is up to whatever He says. When Jesus gave us our first aircraft, there was no new car in our ministries fleet but there was no struggle in taking delivery. The devil is not our problem, our faith is our problem.
