– Bishop David Oyedepo On “Why Are We Giving Thanks To God As A Church Today” || Showers Of Blessing Service || First Sunday Service || 2nd August 2026 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota ||
The midst of the year revival season with Operation Take Your 30 For Christ has been a huge success. Throughout the 8 weeks, an average of about 2,000 people gave their lives to Christ in our services. Church Gist. That is, Sunday services alone. Amen. There’s a revival in the house. Come on, give the Lord praise. And that’s apart from the massive conversions on the field in our various district outreaches, the individual soul winning partnership endeavours. Church Gist. Amazing, God is awesome. What I’m saying is that over 17,000 souls gave their lives to Christ in our Sunday services. We owe God thanks. No one can save an ant. Jesus said, “no one can near except my Father draws him”, so, the Father drew them one by one and brought them in here to Himself. Church Gist. Together, lift up your two hands and let’s give Him thanks for massive conversion of souls on the harvest field in our Church services, WSF meetings. Thank God for massive harvest of souls and evidence of God’s divine presence in our midst. It said, “the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is might, He will save.. “. Church Gist. Salvation is the proof that God is in our midst. Let’s magnify and celebrate Him. There’s no one like our God.
– Prayers—
We have come together today across our Churches worldwide for a special thanksgiving session for His manifest presence in our midst. Church Gist. All that we see today, they’re the doings of the Lord. He saves, He heals, He delivers, He opens doors to people. They’re all the marvelous acts of God and we are told to give Him thanks on time before He causes darkness. So, we are to give it to Him on time. Jeremiah 13:15-16. It has to be done on time and we have to give to Him on time. Jesus, we acknowledge you as the one behind the awesome happenings in our midst. Church Gist. Salvation of souls is a proof of your presence, we celebrate you for it. The increase of the Word that’s imparting on lives, we thank you for it. The miracles, signs and wonders, we celebrate you for it. That’s what we’re here for. “Lord, speak to me this morning”, go ahear and pray.
— Prayers —
Thank you again Jesus, we are all seated at your feet today to hear from you. Let your Word locate each one of us and move each one to another level in Jesus’ name.
Why are we giving thanks to God as a Church today? Luke 17:17-18. Next level intervention. We give thanks to secure access to next level intervention. Luke 17:17-19. Church Gist. We are celebrating Jesus for a most refreshing and fruitful midst of the year season as we took our territories for Christ. We thank Him for the impact of our outreaches both as a Church, individuals and soul winning partnerships that led multitude to Christ. Church Gist. We are thanking God for the great ingathering of soul into Church and the many conversions in our services. Over 11,000 registered as new members in this season. Come on, give the Lord praise.
Now, what are the wonders embedded in thanksgiving. The reason we are doing this is so that it can become your own lifestyle. It has been the lifestyle of this Commission since inception. We have not stopped to experience what God said is in it.
1. Thanksgiving facilitates answers to prayers. Philippians 4:6. It’s a vital missing digit on Heaven’s telephone number today. We bombard Heaven with prayers, shout, cry, groan but no thanksgiving, no access. Church Gist. Matthew 6:9,13. “You want me to hear all that you have said? Celebrate my faithfulness and the phone will ring on my table”. We are thanking God because it’s a vital requirement for answers to our prayers.
2. Thanksgiving provokes supernatural change of story. Although nothing may seem to be happening, Habakkuk 3:17-19. Thanksgiving is a game changer. 2 Timothy 2:13. Church Gist. Hezekiah said, “because the Lord will heal me, I’ll sing my song. He hasn’t healed me but I’ll sing Him to do it”. Isaiah 38:20. Thanksgiving is a game changer.
3. Thanksgiving secures access to fresh oil that renders our enemies helpless. Psalm 92:1-2,10-11. Psalm 34:1. Psalm 89:20-23. Church Gist. That is the portion of thanksgivers – God renders our enemies helpless by access to fresh oil. Thanks givers don’t run oil dry, their access to fresh oil is auto.
– In the precious name of Jesus, you’ll never run your life oil dry again!
4. Thanksgiving keeps us flourishing all the way, prevailing circumstances not withstanding. Psalm 92:1,12-15. Church Gist. Thanksgiving keeps us flourishing in season and out of season terminating dry seasons in our lives.
-May that become your new lifestyle. May that become your new covenant addiction, where thanksgiving becomes like breathing to you.
That is one of the mysteries behind this Commission. We have continued to flourish in season and out of season. No economic downturn has ever affected us one bit in 45 years. The secrets of men are in their stories. It’s a unique grace upon this Commission – Giving God thanks with everything inside us. When we dedicated Frederick K.C. Price Hall in Kaduna, we danced as if we have built a city. Church Gist. Not inside the Church oo around the Church. We came outside, it’s not a small dance. 1,000 capacity! I mean. Not a small dance, we danced around. I led the dance to celebrate God’s faithfulness – 1,000 capacity sir. When we built the Grass Cathedral, we celebrated God that: “Look at it! The largest grass cathedral in the World.” Isn’t God awesome? Stop blocking your way forward.
-Somebody’s story is changing. You’ll never know a setback anymore in your life.
Thanksgivers don’t suffer setbacks, they keep flourishing. Now, here is it: Thanksgiving secures and sustains supernatural Church growth. That’s where we come in as a Church. Jeremiah 30:19. When you engage your heart in giving Him thanks, He keeps multiplying the Church. Church Gist. The first time my wife came to the Church in Kaduna, she couldn’t believe the number she saw because of the joy I normally return with back to our base but when she came, we were 21 because she added to it. We were 19 in the previous Sunday. Praise God! Joy! Overflowing joy that God went to town and brought one new person. Hallelujah!
We began to celebrate Him from one to two, from two to three, two to four. Now, you are counting thousands. That’s how thanksgiving multiplies grace. Jeremiah 30:19. Thanksgiving is one of the mysteries behind the rise of giants. Otherwise, we just made known last Sunday: “We need 100 more buses,” 51 was dedicated yesterday and deployed. They worked this morning. God bless all the volunteer drivers, bless your families, bless all that pertains to you. Church Gist. God bless all those who are a part of this in one way or another and we are expecting another batch this week. This was dedicated yesterday morning. Not one naira debt, not one special call on anybody sir, not one member was called on phone for any reason, not one was advised, no side talk. That means, it’s not a family of riffraffs. You are buying buses like buying bread. You are in God’s Endtime agenda for the rise of giants. Just ensure your walk with God is neat. I hope somebody was not there last Sunday: “How will they get 100 buses?” You better watch your mouth and your thoughts! When God speaks, He confirms His word.
Behind the growth of this Church is ceaseless thanksgiving – untiring thanksgiving, heart-born thanksgiving. Heart-born! It’s not: “Let’s say it because they said we should say it.” You better know this secret of my life. I see me only as a microphone, I see Him behind the scene. Church Gist. Saying it and confirming it. I’ve laid hands on people, amazing things have happened but I’ve not felt anything leaving me so it’s not coming from me. It is only channelled through me. I don’t have an idea of a loss. Jesus said somebody touched Him and virtue has gone out of Him, it has never gone out of me.
I heard a humbling testimony at the graduation of CUSS, someone given 15 pints of blood and no effect. 15 pints of blood drained off and they just brought his picture and I spoke to that picture as God prompted me to, went back to the hospital and blood came back. That same son graduated this last graduation. I had no idea, in fact I have forgotten that anything happened so I’m not responsible, I’m not. Church Gist. There is no one that gave any of the buses that I knew. I met one of us yesterday at ALDC, I was addressing a conference and then knelt down and this person was giving 5 million; 10 million for zonal transportation in their zone, that as soon as the money was going down, let me know so that he can put more into it. Not yesterday oo, in 2010. What are you talking about? My knowing you don’t change your story. I never met these ones once in my life. It is what God sees in secret that He rewards openly, let’s stop doing ‘show face’ it doesn’t do anything to anybody.
-You are going places.
Are you thanking God or accusing God? It’s either of the two. “You know I’ve been a believer all this time.” If you are not a thanksgiver, you will eat violence. You will just be violent for nothing, nothing will happen. Please settle down. Thanksgiving is key to your forward movement and you are going forward.
-In this year of open doors, no door shall be shut against you and your family.
Don’t shut the door with complains. Don’t shut the door with murmuring. In everything give Him thanks and watch what He does with your life. Thank you, Jesus. They were praising God and God was adding to the Church daily. They were praising Him, He was adding to the Church daily. Acts 2:47. Praising God and God was adding to the Church daily. Church Gist. He hasn’t changed. This Church won’t stop growing until we stop giving thanks and satan, we will never stop giving thanks. We have proved it, we have seen it, our hands have handled it, we will never stop giving God thanks.
– May that become your new lifestyle.
5. Now, thanksgiving facilitates fulfilment of prophecies. God spoke, “I’ve added 15 more years to your life” to Hezekiah and he said “Because the Lord will heal me, I will sing my song.” Isaiah 38:19,20. Thanksgiving facilitates fulfilment of prophecy. 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Hebrews 10.36. It facilitates fulfilment of prophecies. Church Gist. Romans 4:20. Isaac came, he came at the instance of giving glory to God. Thanksgiving facilitates fulfilment of prophecies. There is nothing God ever told me in person I’ve not seen come to pass, because before I see them with my eyes, I’m already persuaded of them and thanking God for making them happen. Every Word spoken to you concerning the year, don’t block it from happening, celebrate His faithfulness, let God be true and all men liars. Every prophetic Scripture does not need any further proof. It has been proved seven times in fire, so settle in Sir, settle in. Psalm 12:6. Except God has left Heaven, there’s nobody who stood with Jesus those 8 weeks without a change of story to show, it’s impossible. Church Gist. Habakkuk 3:2. “Revive thy work oh God in the midst of the year” and He said “Watch out, no matter what’s happening in the course of it, I’m avowed to change your story, just give me glory. I will make your feet like hinds’ feet and get you up to your high places.”
– You are changing levels!
– No prophetic Word will fall to the ground in your life anymore in the name of Jesus.
6. Thanksgiving quickens the dead or dying issues of our lives to bounce back to life. Everything dying or dead in and around you can bounce back to life through thanksgiving. Church Gist. Jesus said, “Take away the stone” They said he’s stinking. “Take away the stone. Father, I thank you” and Lazarus came forth after 4 days in the grave. After 4 days in the grave, Lazarus bounced back to life.
– In the precious name of Jesus, everything dying or dead in and around your life will bounce back to life. If you commit to giving God thanks, you quicken them back to life in the name of Jesus.
Romans 4:19. Double death: Abraham’s body – dead, Sarah’s womb – dead and now they are expecting a living child. He gave glory to God and God converted the two deaths to real life. Only God has that kind of Arithmetic. Death plus death equals life. Church Gist. You’ve seen that before? But we saw the mystery. He was strong in faith, giving glory to God and God brought out that real strange mathematics. Death plus death equals life. Only God can do that and He does that through the mystery of thanksgiving. Death plus death equals life.
– Everything called dead among your organs must come back to life.
I thank you Jesus because you live in me. “The last Adam is made a quickening Spirit” You are in me, I thank you for quickening my system, quickening my organs and doing what you alone can do. Church Gist. Strong faith! When you give glory to God with strong faith, He turns everything dead back to life. Well, the good news:
– As an outcome of this month, no one shall be called sick anymore in this Church.
Isaiah 33:24. That is God’s agenda before He returns. Sickness will be outlawed in the Body of Christ, in your own life. Jeremiah 30:17. No pains, no stress. Please, don’t toy with the events of this month. Church Gist. It’s going to be your comprehensive total health insurance. Just come and set yourself to consume the balm in Gilead and watch how that translates to health and vitality.
– You are going places!
– You are not permitted to be serving sickness while you are serving God. Every faithful ambassador of Christ is entitled to healthy living. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, sickness is outlawed in your life, is outlawed in your family. Church Gist. Every one appointed to death escapes in grand styles. Untimely death shall not be named in your family in the name of Jesus!
7. Thanksgiving secures access to the path of life. That is why thanksgivers are never stranded. Thanksgiving secures access to the path of life. Psalm 100:4. Psalm 16:11. So, access to His presence unveils the path of life, the step to take, the way to go. Church Gist. People don’t know what’s in it that’s why they ignore it. Thanksgiving provides you automatic access to His presence where He unveils to you and me the path of life. Every time things look a bit tense, I say “Jesus, there must be a way out” The path of life! “Thank you, Jesus. There must be a way out” He says “Come on my boy, this is the way out” 1 Corinthians 10:13. There’s always a way out but it’s accessible by only thanksgivers. Church Gist. Murmurers can’t get in, complainers can’t get in, the path of life is only open to thanksgivers. Please, change your stand. Not “I don’t know what is happening (complaining)” You won’t know. You can’t know under that condition.
Our last daughter was dying and I said “Father I thank you because there’s a way out” and the way out showed up. Church Gist. The way out showed up there, not the following day. Come on now!
– I decree that thanksgiving becomes your new lifestyle!
– You will never get stranded in your life again in the name of Jesus!
When God shows the way, no devil can block it!
8. Thanksgiving secures divine presence that makes us unbeatable in the battles of life. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” You cannot be grateful and not be joyful. You cannot be joyful and not be praiseful. Church Gist. You cannot be praiseful and not invoke divine presence. “For God indwells the praises of His people.” “Is any merry? Let him sing.” Gratitude will always stir joy. Joy will result in praise. Praise will bring God down to bear on your situation in the precious name of Jesus.
– You won’t miss divine intervention anymore in the battles of life!
“As they began to sing and to praise, God stepped in.” What were they singing? His mercies endures forever. Celebrating God. “And as they began to sing and to praise, God stepped in and turned their enemies against themselves. And they were all smitten and not one of them escaped.” Church Gist. They were thankful and singing of his mercy, He came down and took over their battle. You remember He said in that 2 Chronicles 20:17, “you shall not need to fight in this battle; set yourself in celebrating my faithfulness and watch me take over.” So when we celebrate His faithfulness, He takes over our battles and God can’t fight a battle and lose it.
– Therefore, the last battle you lost in your life is the last one you ever lose!
“O, give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His mercies endures forever.” They began to sing that, he stepped in.
– It’s your turn!
– Grace for a ceaseless thanksgiving lifestyle, lift up your right hand and receive it now. Call for that grace upon your life to respond with thanksgiving to every issue of life including challenges of life to respond with thanksgiving to every challenge of life that may face you at any time. Church Gist. Father, I thank you because with you on my side, my case is different. I thank you because you are watching over my life day and night to preserve me. I celebrate you, Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name we have prayed!
Please note today is our Showers of Blessing Service because God’s response to man’s obedience is blessing. Church Gist. “If you harken to my voice, observe to do what I tell you to do, all these blessings will come to you and overtake you.” God responds with blessings to our obedience.
– And haven partnered with Jesus in the course of the midst of the year revival season, it’s your turn to be blessed!
– You are returning from this service blessed!
God is never looking for who to use. He’s busy looking for who to bless and He found you. Church Gist. I said He found you. He found you.
– Today, God is turning every trace of mourning into dancing in your life!
– He’s turning every trace of shame to double honour!
– He’s wiping away all tears from off all faces and giving you a new song to sing!
He said, “Abraham, because you have obeyed my voice, by myself I swear that in blessing, I will bless you.” When you obey Him, He swears the blessings. It is a sworn blessing that is called showers of blessings. Church Gist. He said, “because you have done this thing, you have not withheld thy son, thy only son from me. You have obeyed my voice. I swear, in blessing I will bless you.”
– You are returning with sworn blessing on your head today!
– You have obeyed His voice; you are returning with sworn blessing today!
Years ago, the Lord said to me, “Give me that thing.” And I told my wife, the Lord said, “I should give Him that thing.” She said, “Oh, praise the Lord.” On my way home, He said, “My son David, even if you don’t want to be rich, it’s too late.” Church Gist. Same day, not the following day. God still swears blessings today. God still swears blessing today to genuinely obedient and fruitful servants. He swears blessing.
Can I say this please? There are two kinds of people in every Church. There are social members and there are spiritual members. There are social members. Nothing touches them other than the grammar that they hear. Nothing touches them. Nothing moves them. Church Gist. They just sit down there just staring at the choir, staring at the ushers and staring at the preacher. They are social members. No change! He said, “they that worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth for such the Father desires to worship Him.” Please be a spiritual member. It won’t reflect. This thing won’t reflect in your life until you become spiritual. It won’t.
The number of buses that some individuals put in this one, I can’t announce it. What are you talking about? And somebody says, “how will they get 100 buses? Did they call you? Be spiritual, my friends? Church Gist. I got saved at 15 and I know how to position myself in every fellowship. How can you be an adult and then you will be playing around? Be spiritual.
Some people are around the airport. They have never boarded a plane. They have never seen the inside of a plane in their life. But they are around the airport every day. You meet them every time. “Where are you going? To China – O yes, your flight is 2p.m. What of you? Norway. Your flight is 1:00 p.m.” Church Gist. He knows everything but he has never boarded a plane. He has never left Ikeja once. Don’t be that kind of person. This is a Commission on a flight. Please board this flight. You see us scaling heights every day, board this flight.
I came on board Hagin’s flight and I’m flying. I’m flying. The faith of Hagin is actively working inside me. I’m flying. Faith is like breathing for me. Faith is like…I have never had one problem believing God for something. Get on board, sir. Get on board. Church Gist. The Lord said to me, “somebody as close to you as your cloth is coming over.” I said, “my biological father, He said no no no – Hagin.” I said, God knows when you are on board He knows when you are not on board. He told me Hagin was going home here in Nigeria and I told my wife on the spot. We travelled the following week. Please be on board. I can’t help you more than this. Please be on board. My being on board is decorating my life. Please be on board with Jesus. Be on board in the Commission you claim to belong to. Be on board. Anything I teach that is not in the Bible, trash it. If it’s in the Bible, you are at a loss if you trash it. I have seen giants rise across the nations. How can you now be sitting down at the base and you don’t have a change?
– Your change has come!
– It’s this month!
– The blessings of today will not elude you!
Heaven has a central storehouse. That storehouse is in compartments, and each compartment is under lock and key. Only those with the key to each compartment can access what is inside. You remember He said, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse” Malachi 3:10. There is a storehouse in heaven, and He gave us the keys of the kingdom at new birth. Matthew 16:18-19. Why? He calls it “Keys of the kingdom” because there is a key that opens each door. Church Gist. So, what is the key to the storehouse of showers of blessing? He said, “W0e unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge” Luke 11:52. You need a revelation of the key; revelation is the key. What must I do to come under the showers of blessings? Sir, you can’t enter without the key.
Interestingly, please listen: As long as the lock has not changed, new key won’t open it. Stop looking for a new key. A new key won’t open it. Jesus is the Door of the sheep John 10:7; “He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8. So, the lock on the door is the same. Don’t try to use new key; it won’t open. Youths in the house, stop looking for new key. It is the same old key you will need to use. The lock has not changed. Your new key won’t work. No fear of God, no access to divine secrets. Church Gist. You will just be jumping empty jumps. Fear of God is a vital key to accessing divine secrets. Help me tell your neighbor, “Stop using new key. The lock has not changed. New key won’t open it.” Is somebody t!red? Victor, stop using new keys. The lock has not changed. Get back to the old-time religion: “Give me that old-time religion, and it’s good enough for me”. You can’t be empowered without engaging in fasting and prayer. Stop using a new key. There is no AI for fasting. Amen. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Somebody is blessed; you are that one. Let me hear your loudest “Amen”.
Let’s examine the components of this key. If you look at most keys, they have undulations on them. That means there are quite a number of factors that join together to cause the lock to give way to open. Let’s look at some of those undulations on our way to coming under the showers of blessings. Keys to accessing God’s showers of blessings. Church Gist. Now, Ezekiel 34:25-26. He said “And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beásts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing”. There shall be what? Showers of blessing.
What am I required to do to come under the showers of blessing? Number one, Obedience of faith, as in Abraham. It is sworn blessing that we call “showers of blessings”. “Abraham was old, and well stricken in age, and God had blessed him in all things.” Genesis 24:1. Church Gist. Showers through obedience of faith. “Get out of thy country” Genesis 12:1, and so Abraham departed. “Circumcise the male children in your family” Genesis 17:10, he began. “Take your son, your only son Isaac” (Genesis 22:2), he went in. And God had blessed him in all things. He was under this sworn blessing all his life.
Obedience of faith is the number one step to coming under the showers of His blessings. Not trying God, but obeying God; trusting Him without reservation. That brought this church under the showers here in Canaanland, because it was out of tone. But you see, God said so, so let’s go without reservation. “Shut down the church in town.” “Yes, sir”. Church Gist. July 6, 1987, “As you pastor this one church, the whole world would become your Parish, shut down that one”. See where we are today. Obedience of faith is what brings you under the showers of blessings. “If you are Abraham’s seed, do the works of Abraham.” Don’t just sing the song of Abraham; do the works of Abraham. “If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham” John 8:39. Obedience of faith.
– Receive grace to jump at every instruction that God ushers to you in your private studies, in your meditations, in the Sunday services, and in fellowships!
Pick it up. How do I come under the showers of blessings? Through acceptable stewardship, as in Job. “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth?” (Job 1:8). My servant Job, my servant Job. Church Gist. And he became the greatest of all men in the East. Showers! Showers! Oh yes, he was challenged, but he triumphantly came out of it. And God blessed him with twice as much as he had before (Job 42:10). Full-scale blessing through acceptable stewardship.
– May your stewardship remain acceptable!
Number three, Kingdom advancement endeavors as in David. A man with a heart for God took his life in his hands and confr0nted Goliath, and removed the shâme from the people of God. Now watch what he said, 1 Chronicles 29:3: “Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house”. Amazing things. Church Gist. And you know, when you commit to kingdom advancement endeavors, He opens the heavens over you. Haggai chapter 1:9-11. He opens the heaven. He said, “Because of mine house that is waste… therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit”. But when you commit to kingdom advancement endeavors, He opens the heavens over your life, like He has opened the heavens over the lives of many people in this church.
– You are the next in line!
Fifty years ago, I made kingdom advancement my anchor for living. The heavens have remained open because I am still there now. I just got my report this morning: 1,400 plus were led to Christ on my street-to-street outreaches for those eight weeks. I didn’t count what we got in Capernaum or Akinde, because they came to Jesus, and He saved them there. The ones I went to meet are the ones I am counting. You better wake up. So, the heavens over my life is just open. July 19th made it 50 years since I signed that deal, and I’m still pushing. Church Gist. I was out on Saturday, half-awake, half-asleep because of heavy functions and spiritual duties. I don’t attend political meetings; I don’t belong to any one of them, that’s not my level, praise God. In that tired state, I saw 94 people saved! Kingdom advancement endeavors didn’t let me have honeymoon, ask my wife; it was sacrificed. No returns on ministry like people have it today, like a business. Not one dime expected because you went somewhere to preach. No, you carry whatever you have, if you have any. And they say, “Thank you very much for coming, Brother David. We’ll see you next time.” You’re on your own. It opens the heavens over your life.
– I see the heavens over your life stay open!
Don’t close it; it’s in your hands. He said, “Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it” Church Gist. Haggai 1:8, and watch what I will do with your life. But because you ignore My house, ah, I shut the heavens.
– May the heavens over your life not be shût!
– You are getting there!
One of my sons gave a testimony that he gave in 2012 at Shiloh. He said, “Sir, the testimony has gone full cycle. Church Gist. That is because he kept doing it.” It’s your turn. Access to showers of His blessings through priestly blessings and that’s what you’re here for today. You are here for that today.
· Every blessing proclaimed over your life today will keep speaking louder by the day!
God told Moses to tell the Children of Aaron the priest, “After this manner shall ye bless the children of Israel. Church Gist. The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord makes his face to shine upon thee. and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lifts up his countenance upon thee. And give thee peace. He said, “And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” They will proclaim it. I will confirm it.
· Everything I proclaim as a priest over this house, over your life today, heaven will confirm it. It will bring you under His showers in the name of Jesus!
Kenneth Hagin said over me years ago, fresh oil, Lord. Fresh oil and keep him ever fresh. It’s been fresh. Church Gist. You should know, it’s been fresh. It’s been fresh. It brought me under that shower of freshness in my walk with God. God speaks to me every day. He spoke to me this morning. He speaks to me every day.
· In the name of Jesus, every blessing proclaimed on you today will keep speaking for many years to come and grace to remain connected to Jesus to maintain the flow of the virtue, receive it right now in the name of Jesus!
Finally, we come under the showers of His blessings through parental blessings. Through parental blessings as in Joseph. Well, this is one way to help anyone who may have lost their parents either to old age or whatever circumstances. Church Gist. Just like we have natural parents, we also have spiritual parents. You haven’t lost anything. Praise God. As long as you’re a member of the body of Christ, you haven’t lost anything because God is turning the heart of children to their fathers, the heart of their fathers to their children. You haven’t lost anything. Praise God.
We saw the blessing upon Joseph and watch what it was. Please watch! Genesis 49:22-26. All those things came to pass one by one. His brothers went against him but he prevailed. “Let us kill him.” Church Gist. They said, “No, no, don’t kill him. Just let’s sell him, get money and let him go.” Here is the mystery. Isaiah 65:8 because you are declared indestructible from today! Destroy it not for a blessing is in it. When you carry parental blessings, you are indestructible. Destroy him not for there’s a blessing in him. Parental blessings make you among other things indestructible that it may be well with you. You may prolong your days on the earth. Destroy it not for there is a blessing in it.
· By the blessing of today, you are declared indestructible! Thank you, Jesus.
Young people, pull out the blessings in the heart of your parents. Be wise! Be wise!! Be wise!!!
· In the precious name of Jesus with priestly blessings, parental blessings, your life can’t be the same!
Rivers only flow downhill. Rivers don’t flow uphill. You have to accept the source of the blessing as above you. Church Gist. If you don’t, it won’t flow. There are quite a number of people that are in ministries that don’t partake of anything there because the priest over the house is his friend. So, nothing flows from him.
· Not you again. In the precious name of Jesus, the blessing of today will be evident in your life. The blessing of this hour shall be evident in your life.
God said to me, he has touched my mouth with the coal of fire that whatever I say, I will see. Church Gist.That means you say it, I’ll confirm it.
· Whatever I speak over your life today with your faith in place, God will confirm it.
When God blesses, sorrow is eliminated because His blessing maketh rich and adds no sorrow.
· By the blessing of today, sorrow will be far from your tabernacle! May all the blessings that pertain to those that serve God begin to manifest a new dimension in your life today!
For thou shall serve the Lord which you have done, which you are doing and He will bless your bread and your water.
· By today’s blessing, you will never beg for bread. You will never beg for water and I will take sickness away from you. Sickness ends in your life now!
· You shall not be barren nor cast your young in the land.
You heard the testimony of four at a go. Three boys, one girl just for going after God.
· Barrenness ends here today!
· Therefore, for your diverse labour in promoting the kingdom of God in this prophetic season, be openly rewarded in the name of Jesus Christ!
So shall it be. Don’t run away with blessing one. There are thousand and many more after blessing one. Church Gist. Don’t run off with blessing one. There are a thousand and one. Other levels of blessings are awaiting you. Stay connected. Remain on duty. If it’s the blessing I’m looking for I would have stopped. No, there’s more. There’s more to it. To be a blessing is what blessing is all about.
· Until you are blessed to the point where you are a blessing to others and the blessing keeps going until you impact on the globe. Receive that grace!
Now if I’m still jumping around till now, please self commendation is the worst enemy of progress. Church Gist. I think I’ve done my best. Una well done. I’ve not done my best. I don’t know where your best is. Sir, since the day the red lizard has been nodding his head, has he changed position? You know of the red lizard? He has been crawling on the bellies till now.
Beware of self commendations. Let God be the one to commend you and when God commends you, He changes your level. You’ll never be at the same spot anymore in your life. Church Gist. I’ve been pursuing after Him for 50 years. I don’t know when you started. I mean actively. Not that you know we are telling the story. I was there 40 years ago. 500 plus till last Sunday reported in church from our churches. The middle of the year is over. A new month has started. The race continues.
· Receive that grace right now! Till your end of time, you will never cease pursuing after God and goodness and mercy will never stop pursuing after you all the days of your life!
