– Bishop David Oyedepo on WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE 4 at Anointing For Exemption Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| 28th January 2024 || First Sunday Service ||
– Your good report is here this morning.
– God is quenching every thirsty area of your life.
– Every area you have been longing for a change, this moment is declared the moment of change.
– This is your morning of change.
– Your long-awaited change is taking place today in the name of Jesus.
– It is everybody’s day, so it is your day.
Yes, Hannah prayed and Eli came on the scene and said “God has granted you the requests of your heart.” Nine months later, Samuel came. Church Gist. I am glad to tell you this morning as the priest set over this house. Every prayer you have prayed in faith is delivered for a testimony.
– Your prayers are answered. Your testimonies are here.
– The next seven weeks in this Church shall be weeks of harvest. Harvest of testimonies.
– It will be coming one after another in Jesus’ name.
Jesus, speak to us this morning and let your name be glorified.
– You are crossing over.
By way of introduction, Jesus once told His disciples in Luke 8:22-25, “Let us go over to the other side”. It was a prophetic word that went forth. This makes the other side a reality but it takes faith to get across. If Jesus says you are crossing to the other side, the other side is settled but it takes faith to get across. It is your year of Fortune. Fortune is settled but it takes faith to get across. It takes faith to get across to the other side. Many have never seen fortune in any form before. It takes faith to get across. Church Gist. The storms will come to scare you, “Where is fortune?” It takes faith to suppress the storms, subdue the storms, silence the wicked and move on to the other side. Good news: the other side is real and you are getting across to the other side. The other side is real because God said so, whatever He says is settled in heaven forever. You will get across.
It is very important to note that little faith cannot stand the stormy days. That is why we must build our faith. Build strength to our faith, lay hold on faith materials of proven faith authors and ministers with the proofs of the faith that works. Church Gist. The faith they teach works. Matthew 14:28-31. Little faith can’t stand the stormy days. Build strength into your faith to subdue the stormy days. To silence the opposition, build strength to your faith.
Again, fortune is ordained the portion of every Winner this year but each one’s faith in this prophetic agenda will deliver his portion. It is to everyone and shall be to every one according to his faith. Church Gist. Some folks will start walking in the reality of that beginning this week. Faith is the master key to seeing prophecies fulfilled. Luke 1:36. Romans 4:18-21. Faith is the master key to seeing prophecies fulfilled.
Please note this, this is very important. In the Kingdom, there are no private revelations. What I speak to you in darkness, shout it on the housetops. Mark 13:37. No private revelations in this Kingdom. Whatever He says to one, He says to all. Church Gist. It is an open book, we draw on these treasures by faith. It applies to whosoever believes, no private revelations in scriptures. Psalm 36:9. There are light bearers in the Kingdom of God that bring forth the light from scriptures for whosoever is interested to engage with.
No private faith! Whatever faith has wrought in one’s life, it will do the same in the life of another. Hebrews 13:7. We can ride on the faith of others by engaging with their steps to get the same order of results. No private faith. Faith is an open ticket in the hand of every believer. 1 John 5:4. So you can take time to study the steps of men that command results by faith and follow suit if you are interested. Church Gist. I have followed the faith of Hagin since 1976, I still read his book this week. I have followed the faith of Copeland since 1982 and I am still enjoying myself in it. I got hold of the faith of Wigglesworth in 1979 and I am still following it. I am replicating his residues. No private faith. ”That is for Papa.” No, it is for everybody. I am not part of the editors of the Bible.
The good news: no private testimonies. Every testimony is a pointer to your inheritance. If He did it for one, He can do it for all. What He did for one, He can do for all. Psalm 119:111. Every testimony is a pointer to our heritage. That my daughter came up now, causing waves in a male-dominated industry. Church Gist. There is no male or female in the Kingdom, we are all bona fide sons and daughters of God. We have a common heritage in Christ. But there was what she did to get there. If you want to get there, then go ahead and do the same.
A woman came and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and was made whole. Everybody started looking for how to touch his garment. They strategized on how to break the security and they did. As many as touched him were made perfectly whole. Matthew 9:21. Church Gist. That means there is no disadvantaged believer. Hebrews 6:12. Don’t be lazy, they did something to get something.
– The good news is that you are crossing over from the side of misfortune fully to the side of fortune
– You will be singing all the days of your life.
He said if you let me lead you, only goodness and mercy will be following you all the days of your life. They say every day is not Christmas. With Jesus, every day is. Every day is ordained to be Christmas, just let me lead you. Let me be your Shepherd. Don’t play smart. Church Gist. Don’t prove to be smarter than me, you will be playing a dummy. Let me lead you and goodness and mercy will be following you, all the days of your life. There are people here, your last loss, your last regret, your last air of misfortune is the last you will ever know. As you let Jesus keep leading you, the other side is an ever-flourishing side.
Being on God’s side makes one more than a conqueror. Being in love with God, cleaving to God as in marriage. They may not like you but when you are on a presidential convoy, everything that bows to the president bows to you. Everything that salutes the President, salutes you too. They can’t say it is not you they are saluting. He is saluting you, you are in that convoy. You are on God’s side, triumphant ride, majestic ride, enviable ride, that is the kind you will be having from now. Church Gist. It makes you more than a conqueror. You may not have done anything well before but once you are in that convoy, whatever they offer the President they offer you. Stay on that side. It secures your present, your tomorrow, your destiny, your posterity, that is your generation after you and your eternity. Romans 8:31, 28.
Being on God’s side simply means walking in the fear of God and by the dictates of scriptures which keeps believers on the flourishing side of life. There is a way to live off dry seasons, get on God’s side. Amos 3:3. Agree with God on the dictates of His Word. Psalm 37:18-19. For the ones that seek to please God as a way of life, their inheritance shall be forever. Peter, the leading Apostle of Christ chose to remain on God’s side for life and became a wonder to his world. We saw his shadow healing the sick and setting the oppressed free. Allow Christ into your boat, it will be the beginning of a life of wonders. These folks were frustrated and Jesus entered into one boat, it was Peter’s boat. He said, “Push a little, I want to preach.” They didn’t agree on any prize. You were frustrated all night, you didn’t sleep, you didn’t catch anything yet you allowed him in. Church Gist. Allow Jesus into your boat, He will turn your misfortune into eternal fortune. Jesus came in there and he launched him into that realm of net-breaking, boat-sinking order of testimony. Beyond that henceforth you shall catch men. He became the Rock upon which the first Church was built. All fishermen are forgotten but not Peter. Peter said, Peter said… never mind where you are, allow Jesus into your boat. He will overturn the issues of your life into realms of honour and glory. Peter allowed him and his destiny opened up. Eternity welcomed him. It is your turn. Matthew 18:16-18, Acts 5:15-18. They were laying the sick on the streets so that Peter’s shadow would come on them and as many as were there were made whole.
Paul, a giant of giants, lived under a vow to remain on God’s side till his old age. He was an apostle of special miracles who also wrote about half of the New Testament. Being on God’s side secures the present, the future, the posterity and eternity. Endeavour to stay on God’s side. It may appear slow but it is eternally sure. Endeavour to remain on God’s side with a vow. A day before I will say Who is Christ? Church Gist. I will be in heaven by chariot. For what? To get what? From who? Can you put a machine gun before me to deny Christ? Machine what? You open it, it will open on you straight. Come under a vow. I wrote a vow in 1976 to make Kingdom advancement my priority for living and my way of life. It drives me till tomorrow, I can’t get away from it. Don’t wish, enter into a covenant to remain on God’s side and trust God to help. Don’t be distracted by nonsense.
I said to God on my calling, “Should I pretend not to have heard you: see that I do not succeed in any other thing I do.” Men of vow are ever stable. I have not sold one thing for money. Church Gist. Enter into a covenant and believe God to stand in that covenant. He gave them rest roundabout as they entered into a covenant to
Paul came to a point where death was under his feet. Death had no hold on him. He was lost in the sea overnight, he was not a diver. He came out without going to the hospital, he went to his next assignment. They stoned him and left him for dead. Church Gist. They gathered around him and he woke up by himself. Being on God’s side is wonderful. Things will be operating at their own frequency in your life. The days of pushing for things to happen are over in your life.
How do I remain on God’s side?
1. Beware of a nonchalant attitude to God and His Word. The moment God’s Word has no more hold on you, you are on your way out. Going! Going! Gone! When God says something, you say I don’t think so. I have my view. Your view until you are no more in view. Beware of a nonchalant attitude to God and His Word. Church Gist. Let His Word have a hold on your life. Let His Word determine the steps you take in life. Beware of a nonchalant attitude to God and His Word. Eli said, “He is God, let Him do whatever He pleases.” Whatever He pleases? Okay. He lost his two sons and himself on the same day. Nonchalant attitude.
2. Beware of tempting God through complaining and murmuring.
“Fortune! Fortune. Where is the fortune? I have just finished fasting now and nothing is working.” Numbers 11:1. The people complained and God heard it and the wrath of God was kindled in their camp. May God’s wrath not be kindled against you. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 10:10. In everything give thanks. You are either thanking God or murmuring against God, you can’t be neutral. Hebrews 10:36. You murmur, you miss the blessings. You thank God, you obtain the promise.
3. Endeavour to maintain a quality walk with God.
Genesis 17:1. We walk with God by faith in whatever God demands. Faith! In whatever God says to do. “Abraham, get out of your father’s house”, Abraham departed. “Abraham, circumcise all the male born in your household”, Abraham did so. “Abraham, kill your only son Isaac for me”, he was on. Church Gist. Endeavour to maintain a high-standing quality walk with God to remain on His side. Daniel 11:32. Endeavour to maintain a quality walk with God.
Dangers of not being on God’s side.
1. It blocks access to help in times of trouble.
God’s presence provides automatic access to His help. Psalm 46:1. You can’t be on His side and miss His help. Not being on His side, you miss His help. But getting on God’s side gives you and I access to His help. Not being on God’s side can destroy one’s generations as we saw in the case of Eli and Achan. Eli just felt God should know I am an old man, how can He be making demands from me that my sons are not walking right? Church Gist. Okay! Achan saw what should not be taken and coveted it. His whole lineage was destroyed. 1 Samuel 2:32-36. Joshua 7:16-26. Let your generations after you be valuable to you. Don’t set a trap for them. Stay on God’s side.
2. It blocks access to eternity with Christ.
Heaven is real. Jesus, the truth said it over and again. He calls that the Kingdom of God. It is a place that is real. “I go to prepare a place for you, if it were not so, I would have told you.” Heaven is real. Church Gist. You can’t get off God’s side and make it. Matthew 7:21-23. The most costly of all these factors is missing one’s place in heaven. Endeavour to remain on God’s side.
I shared with you one time two great names that lived hundreds of years ago, one was Jonathan Edwards and the other one was an atheist. One lineage was just prospering on and the other one was just going down with all kinds of calamities in them. One was living in the fear of God, the other one said there is no God. So they had prostitutes, convicts, drug addicts, all around their lineage. Church Gist. It was a study of about 300 years and the other one had Presidents of Universities, Vice Presidents, Governors, Senators, Lawyers. So being on God’s side secures your posterity. Jonathan Edwards preached one time about hell and people were in tears. Church Gist. It was just like he opened the door for them to see. He was heavily on God’s side. Don’t toy with your future generations, endeavour to remain on God’s side. Don’t take the forbidden fruit, it will send you out of the garden. In the precious name of Jesus, no one who has gone through these teachings will miss their place on God’s side.
Anyone who is too big to repent will never be qualified for forgiveness and will be off God’s side before he wakes up to know it. If you know anything that is contrary to your place on God’s side, Jesus forgive me and He will. It is never too late to be right. Church Gist. Godly sorrow is what works repentance, not I am sorry and you are smiling. An undying crave for sanctification and continuous exercise unto godliness are fundamental requirements for making it to heaven at the end. We shall all make it there.
Today, we are going to be anointed for exemption from the woes of life. From the hard times that is coming upon the world. Ecclesiastes 1:9. There is no new thing under the sun, hard times are not strange. They have always been here. As far back as Genesis, we saw one man plunge himself into hard times by getting off God’s side, chased from the Garden to the wilderness, covering themselves with leaves and animal skin. Toiling to find what to eat when they were eating for free before. We saw famine in the days of Isaac and in the days of Jacob. Famine is synonymous with every human generation. So hard times are not strange but God has an agenda to exempt His people from the horror of hard times. All across the nations of the world today, we are administering this mystery of anointing for exemption in our various churches. Church Gist. As this oil comes on you, as you go from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another, you will not allow any man to do you wrong. He will rebuke kings for your sake saying touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. Egypt came under the wrath of God and they suffered a number of plagues but in all of them, God exempted His people. There were the swarms of flies – Exodus 8:20-24. Flies connote stench, offensive smell, it connotes rotten odour but in the place where God’s people dwell, there was no swarm of flies. Has God changed? Everything may go rotten in these last days but it will be minus you.
Malachi 3:6. God is committed to our exemption. We had business crash, all the cattle of Egypt died but not one of the cattle that belonged to God’s people died. No matter how many businesses fail this time, not one business that belongs to a member of the Winners Family will die. Exodus 9:4. Has God changed? As they are selling, you will be buying. That was the Church in the wilderness. This is the Church of reality, the Church of the firstborn. That was the Church in the shadow, this is the Church of reality. Church Gist. God hasn’t changed. Exodus 9:18-26. There was hail and tempest, all kinds of calamities that you have never seen the kind before. No matter the calamity that hits the world, it will be minus you. Everything went down but they were not affected. Psalm 91:7. They will not come near you, you will only be watching the film.
For your exemption keep engaging the covenant of seed time and harvest. Those who do good never lack good. Ephesians 6:8. Proverbs 28:27. Galatians 6:10. Keep engaging the Covenant of seed time and harvest, it never fails. It works while the earth remains. That my daughter came up now and said now she pays her tithe in millions. Church Gist. She must have started paying that in hundreds, then it grew to thousands and now she is paying in millions. You never go down engaging in the Covenant of SeedTime and Harvest. No! It operates while the earth remains. Keep engaging with that.
Maintain an exemption mentality. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Let the Word of God re-engineer your thinking pattern. Haven seen all those famine episodes in scriptures, I am least concerned about this economy or that economy. It is not part of what we operate with. He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus, not His riches in Nigeria or America. Church Gist. Philippians 4:19. The poverty of America or Africa does not matter to God’s agenda. How? Stay there. As you can’t know how bones develop in the womb of the woman with a child, so you can’t tell the ways of God who does all things. Every Winner shall emerge a wonder to his world.
When I minister to challenged people, I tell them “Stop thinking death! Think life.” The doctor said You will die but think life. Proverbs 4:23. Philippians 4:8. Death always kills by the threat of death. Death has no AK-47, it has no atomic bomb. It sends fear to identify its victims and get rid of them. Faith is the master cure for fear, so build your faith to destroy your fear. Church Gist. As you build your faith, your fear packs out. Faith is light, fear is darkness. As light comes brighter, darkness has nowhere to hide. Someone’s destiny has just changed.

Ensure to put your Kingdom dreams and visions in writing. Don’t be casual about it. Put it in writing, it will help to enhance your faith about it. I want to retain my place on God’s side, one way to do that is to be in agreement with God. Take delight in what God takes delight in. Prove that you believe in His agenda by lining up with it. Help me Jesus to provide a bus for my zone this year. Help me Jesus to help those challenged around me. Church Gist. Help me Jesus to win this number of souls for you. Help me Jesus to play my part in building rural churches. You are just dreaming. It is not being ambitious, it is lining up with God. The good news is if you follow the faith of those who obtained the promise, you will obtain the promise.

– No one will be hospitalised this year.
