As we gloriously approach the end this great season of fasting and prayers, Pastor David
Oyedepo Jnr delivered a powerful exhortation today that could be termed A WAKE UP CALL for
all those who are in this race. Speaking at the Covenant Hour of Prayer which takes place every
day except Sundays at 5:30 6:30am, the Resident Pastor at Faith Tabernacle emphasized the
need to jettison the crowd mentality and play by God's rules when heeding the call of God if we
must obtain the prize. God will never require a crowd, he reminded the congregation of Godearly-seekers, adding that even though God gives many the opportunity to receive the call, few,
who seriously and consciously make a choice to play by Gods rules are chosen by God. Below
are highlights of the short but powerful message that left this writer adding a prayer point to his
Fifth Module (I guess we all know what a Module is, according to The Winners Dictionary). Here
we go:
God will not require a crowd to deliver His plan. He gives the call to many; He will never require
MANY to fulfill His plans. (Isaiah 31:1 {KJV}: Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help;
and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are MANY; and in horsemen,
because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek
the Lord!)
God doesnt discriminate He chooses you based on what you have chosen.The performance of
Gods plan is not up to man but up to Him. God will never require a crowd.
God is always looking for a man...He doesnt need more than one man. (Ezekiel 22:30 {KJV}:
And I sought for A MAN among them that should make up the hedge, and stand in the
gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.)
He gives the opportunity by making the call to all but those who make a choice to stand out in the
pursuit of God and when He locates that man, He distinguishes him. When we stand out in the
pursuit of His agenda, He distinguishes us in life.
David, a boy of 17, took the nation by storm by reason of His choice for God. (1 Samuel 17:37
{KJV}: David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and
out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul
said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.)
(1 Samuel 18:7 {KJV}: And the women answered one another as they played, and said,
Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.)
To be a giant in this era, you must be determined to stand out...Let your stewardship pursuit be
with distinction; not serving God casually.
Our stewardship to God is a refiner of our destiny; whatever devalues you is taken out.
You determine to become Gods choice by choosing to serve God with distinction.
Personal Declaration: "I dont want to be a general runner; I want to obtain the prize. I want
to be among the few that will stand out in stewardship."
WHAT BISHOP OYEDEPO TOLD US THIS MORNING
It was during the Covenant Hour of Prayer this morning. For those who don't know, it takes place
every day (except Sundays) from 5:30am 6:30am. If you still have not located a centre close to
you; if you dont live close to CanaanLand, if you have been missing out and you are not even
hooking up online, it is time to do something about it. They that seek HIM EARLY...
Below are highlights of the short but powerful, word-in-season exhortation from Gods servant
Bishop David Oyedepo this morning, emphasizing the need to recognize that this is an "iRace", and not a "we-Race".
The race is an I race: not a WE race. The consciousness of our individuality; the
engagement of our individuality is what makes it work.
You dont need to know no man after the flesh. God said to me, I will not need more than your
own vote to make you a winner any day, any time.
We need this individual mentality; we need to commit as individuals because we will be
rewarded individually.
1Corith. 9:16 Woe is ME if I preach not the gospel...necessity is laid upon ME...In winning the
race, it is a ME matter.
Phil. 1:21 For ME to live is Christs..."ME"
Gal. 2:20 Im crucified with Christ..."I"
1Corith. 9:24-26 One received the prize; I therefore so run; so fight I, not fight WE
2Tim. 4:7 I have fought the good fight of faith..."I"
2Kings 10:16 Come and see MY zeal for the Lord. If they cant see your zeal, it doesnt exist.
As usual, God's servant ended by praying along this line for everyone:
Prayer 1: Receive grace to engage your individuality in the pursuit of Gods agenda this
year in Jesus name.
And he also asked the congregation to pray along the line below:
Prayer 2: Lord, endue me with new levels of zeal that will reflect in my kingdom
advancement engagement this year. All prize winners in the kingdom have to win it
individually; theres no team prize here. Lord, I receive grace to keep pressing
tirelessly...in the name of Jesus.

God speaks according to His integrity and capacity but our faith determines delivery.
2. Expect to see it fulfilled.
Hebrews 11:1-3
Proverbs 24:12-14
Proverbs 23:18
There's an end to every challenge.
3. You must engage the power of the Holy Ghost.
He is the power of God: the capacity, ability of God
Acts 1:8
Luke 1:35
When the Holy Ghost is engaged, impossibilities scatter.
Luke 11:13
Ephesians 3:20
Whenever you see impossibility, what is required is power. The power of God overshadows the
impossibilities till they are subdued and become testimonies.
Zechariah 4:6
37-38
Noah's ark was sailing over the mountains with ease because the waters covered the mountain top.
The word of God when released is like that; it covers every mountain and enables us to sail over it
with ease.
3. Engage in warfare
I Timothy 1:18
Don't watch prophecies; war with them. Don't watch a good watching; war a good warfare.
Every prophecy is an open door, and the devil stands in the door.
I Corinthians 16:9
Target your adversaries with warfare. As the adversaries are cleared, you enter the doors cheaply.
Provision is made but possession is forcefully taken.
Be determined that none of the prophetic words will fail.
Joshua 21:45
5. Give yourself wholly to the demands of prophecy.
Every prophetic mandate has a demand eg faith, prayer, kingdom stewardship. Pay attention to the
demands that give you access to provision.
I Timothy 4:15
Joshua 11:15
When all the demands are met, all the provisions are released. All for all; some for some; none for
none. God is not a respecter of persons. Until the demands are met the provisions are not realised.
You don't have to bother about God. His part is settled. His responsibility is performance. Yours is
obedience. No man can make a prophecy fulfil.
Whenever man's obedience is complete, God's presence is secure and provision is released.
John 8:29
You may have served before, serve Him more this year.
6. Be at peace with God and with yourself in the pursuit thereof.
Exodus 14:14
When your heart is at rest, God is working. When you're not at rest you're saying that you're
handling things yourself.
Psalm 46:10
2 Chronicles 20:17
You're not responsible for fulfilment of prophecies.
I see God working on your behalf in Jesus name.
7. Engage faith-filled thoughts regarding its fulfilment
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
With God no time is too late. Focus on His ability. Saturate your mentality with thoughts that
energise your faith. Take the word of God and reprogram your mind.
Every target of the enemy to disqualify you from the prophecies, qualifies you.
I Corinthians 1:26-27
2 Corinthians 5:17
I Samuel 10:11
When you reprogram your mentality the devil gets weary of troubling you.
James 1:8
Keep your mind stable by keeping the word of God rolling in your mind.
2 Corinthians 8:9
When God's word is rolling in your mindset, the enemy
Romans 12:2
New mind = new life
Make sure your mind is filled with thoughts of faith.
Your mind is a magnet. The content determines what it attracts.
8. Engage faith-filled words speaking the reality of its fulfilment boldly and confidently.
Mark 11:23
The spirit of the Lord moved upon the earth but creation didn't start till God spoke. You don't keep
silent with faith. Every silent faith is fake.
You will have what you say not what others say; so, you say.
Hebrew 10:35
Acts 14:3
Testimonies answer to bold speaking. Keep speaking in spite of mocking. Mocking precedes
making.
9. Rejoice in the Lord always.
Habakuk 3:17-19
Recognise your joy is critical.
Philippians 4:4
Joel 1:12
Maintain your joy at all cost. Don't let anything get you down.
God will always perform his word no matter what it looks like.
Don't sit there crying and waiting for someone to pity you; rise up and take advantage of the potent
force of prayer and free yourself from the hold of the enemy. When you engage the name of Jesus
in prayer, you are using a Lawyer Who has never failed. Therefore, present your case in His name
and the answer will be in your favour.To God, popular opinion does not equal right direction; only
His guidance does.PASTOR DAVID OYEDEPO Jnr.
When a Pastor leads from the front, it is very easy for the followers to adjust to the rigours of the
Great Commission.
You stood with us in the cold winter, rain, sun, market places, streets, parks, train stations etc
preaching, teaching, evangelising etc. You taught and led by example making us understand that
the Great Commission is not done just in an office but on the streets, parks etc and consistently
emphasised that Jesus Christ must reflect in our lifestyles as Christians.
Your simplicity, humility and love for God and humanity defined your ministry. No wonder
thousands trooped in from far and near to listen to you.
We will surely miss you Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr and may God empower you with His grace and
Godspeed to fulfill your next assignment in Jesus name. Amen.

children, our workplace, our church family and to the world at large.
You are indeed a jewel of inestimable price and I love you!
May this new year be your best year yet in Jesus name.
POWER OF BOOKS
Books are agents of change because in them we find the things which are written concerning us.
Lk.4:16,17; Jh.5:39; 10:34,35
Books gives light and understanding. Dan.9:2
Without books we are doomed.
Books are instruments of revelation Eph.3:1-5
When God says a thing, suspend your brain. Because your brain is too narrow a passage for God to pass
through
Topic: Catching The Word of God for Your Life
The Bible is a book of visions. There are things we see, read and hear, the word of God is pregnant with all.
Until we see in the word, we can't seize from the word- (Gen 13:14, Jeremiah 1:11-12). The performance and
speed we see is determined by what we see. God's word shows the real us as believers.
Word of God by Redemption
-The word of God shows us what redemption has made us
-It also shows us what we can do through Christ; (Phil 4:13)
Picture Painted in the Bible About us
-Dominion mandate is restored to man via Redemption. It's God's pathway to repositioning man back to
destiny
How is Dominion expressed
-We are redeemed to reign as kings on earth-(Rev 5:10). We are not non-entities in the hand of God but
territory takers ordained to rule on earth. According to the word of God the crown is our Destiny.
-By redemption we are to shine as stars among men
(Romans 8:19)
Biblical Pathways to Redemption
-Revelation
-Faith
-Anointing
-Turning men to Righteousness
We have great Destinies in Christ, with it comes great responsibilities. Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr.
Topic: Catching The Word of God for Your Life Pt 1B
The Bible is a book of visions. Isaiah 29:11 (a) "And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a
book that is sealed."
The intentions and plans of God for you are unveiled in the scriptures.The Bible contains what we have been
made by redemption. We are ordained to be better. The Bible contains what we can do by redemption.
Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
For anyone who had made error in the past and Satan is using that to torment you, maybe you had an abortion
and Satan is telling you that you cannot have children, I command the mercy of God upon you now in Jesus
Name!
Redemption grant you visa into the city of refuge.
Because you are saved and born again, you enter into profiting henceforth. Redemption and profiting goes
together. No more losses for you in Jesus Name. Mathew 16:26

BEING EXCERPTS of the Prophetic via THE COVENANT HOUR of PRAYERS, 17th Aug. 2015. Canaanland,
Ota. By the Presiding Bishop.
"Only those who travail in Prayers, Prevail in Prayers"
"God is ever present to help and Deliver you, depending on how you engage Him on that issue of your life via
the altar of Prayers".
You must engage in TRAVAILING PRAYERS! Then, your PREVAILING season will breakforth.
So, all through this week, we shall be looking @ HOW To PREVAIL in the Altar of Prayers.
......She brought forth her son after she travailed! That's Prevailing!
He travailed with the angels saying...."UNTIL you Bless me!, I will not let you go"! Then, the angel asked him,
what is thy name? That's Prevailing!
Not casual Prayers, you willl not get fast results.
-Prevailing Prayers for results begins by the engaging of our hearts in Prayers. 1 sam.1:13-15.
-Prevailing prayers is all about pouring our hearts before God in Prayers.
Engaging the Wonders in the Word- Part Three
Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
The kingdom of God is a kingdom of mysteries (Mark 4:11). Mysteries are hidden secrets ordained by God for
the triumph of the saints (Ephesian 3:3-5). The mysteries of God are the secrets of God ordained for the glory
of the saints (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).
Gods power is in the simplicity of the gospel. The mysteries are so simple that they could be seen as foolish
(1 Corinthians 2:14; 1:27). Complex situations do not need complex solutions. The mystery of the anointing oil
was given in the old testament (Ex 30:30-31). The anointing is relevant throughout generations. David was
anointed with oil and the Spirit of God came upon him (1 Samuel 16:13).
The anointing oil is relevant from the old testament to the new testament and even to this present day.
The mission of the anointing oil (1 Samuel 10:1-12)
1. Dominion
The anointing will ensure that your foes are beaten down (Psalms 89:20-24). Your enemies become of no
concern to you when you are anointed.
2. Restoration (v2)
The asses were found by the anointing. Whatever you have been looking for is found by the anointing. Even if
you lost it by carelessness or wickedness, the force of the anointing brings restoration.
3. Advancement (v3)
You are going forward. You have been around that situation long enough (Deuteronomy 2:3). Do not let the
situation become your identity. Jabez was named after the situation. The anointing forcefully moves you in the
direction of destiny.
4. Dignity (v4)
An anointed man is a crowned man. The physical crown on a king is a symbol of his spiritual crown (Isaiah
62:1-3).
5. Favour (v4)
They will give unto you without you asking them. Favour cancels a beggarly life (Psalms 44:3). Favour is used
to buy property not cash. Favour will bring items cheap or give you more than enough cash. Every debt is
overturned by favour. What people struggle for will be cheaply given unto you. Favour will cause your result to
exceed your labour.

DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN WEDDING AND MARRIAGE (SINGLE'S SERIES)
Wedding is a ceremony, marriage is a solemnization. Wedding is an event, marriage is a journey that last
through life span of the wedded couple.
A crowd may witness the wedding but only the couple experiences the marriage. If people will spend time to
prepare for marriage the way they prepare for wedding, they would have succeeded beyond there wildest
imagination.
The wedding is fun fare but marriage is the real thing.
Dont be clouded by the funfare; face the real thing and face it well.
Matthew 28:20
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. (Proverbs
24:16)
In the journey of life challenges will certainly come.
They dont require your opinion or invitation.
They will come without prior notice. Therefore, live ready for them.
They come as waves on their own not necessarily to hurt, damage or destroy.
Its all a matter of attitude, the mind set, mentality, expectations and response.
You can glide over the waves while some others are swept away by it.
Even if you are ever swept off your feet by the floods of life, you can come over the waters again by the
scriptural provision that you will rise again, even after seven times of fall if you ever fell up to seven
times.
It is your obedience to God's word that will give you further revelation on His word. - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
It is not about how many scripture you know but how committed you are to scriptures. Though you can quote
the Bible, it is the condition that determines whether you acquire the promise. The condition will make the
confession of God's promise have value. - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
Let your opinion bow to the law of God. The law of God - His word - cannot be altered by your opinion. The
created cannot be more intelligent than the creator. - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
You cannot Enjoy profitable living without love for God (Isaiah 48:17) God's word is the manual for living; it is
God's word that will distinguish you from others in the world. If you are not a word addict you are settling for
mediocrity. - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
It is your heart for God that determines your path in life; you cannot be placed in life without a heart for God;
He cannot position you without your heart for God. No matter how you got elevated you can be repositioned,
but when God lifts you no one can reposition you. - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
(Hebrews 11:39-40) God has great plans for us but it is following the examples of those sent before us that will
get us to the end of God's plans (Jeremiah 6:16). If you are to locate the future you must follow the old path Pastor David Oyedepo JnrBury the past or you will be buried by the past.
You either bury your past or it will bury you.
If you dont want your past to bury you, quickly bury it.
Bury the past or be burdened by the past.
Where you are now is a test for where God wants to place you.
Please look away from your circumstances. Dont make the devil make you sit down to think about you
life, dont let the devil keep you off your bed making you think why is life treating you like this. Wake up
before the devil wakes up. A day void of praise is a crises filled day. Never let the devil wake you up, wake
up by yourself.
Mans silence gives the devil a chance to speak.
His noise cannot stand your voice. Therefore speak!
Dont let the enemy have the final say in your life.
God is committed to your mouth and the words from your mouth.
-If you are in a wrong place things will remain wrong with you.
-It is not safe to be just anywhere, anywhere will take you nowhere.
-Life is so expensive to do a guess work with.
Only those who see beyond opposition can and will go beyond opposition.
-It is faith that converts Gods statements into performance.
-Believe His word to take your world.
-We must pray always because we are tempted, oppressed, attacked, welfare always.
-They are waiting for your unguided hour therefore watch and pray.
-A day without prayer is a risky day.
When capacity builds on the foundation called character, then destiny is about to shine forth.
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. (Proverbs
24:16)
In the journey of life challenges will certainly come.
They dont require your opinion or invitation.
They will come without prior notice. Therefore, live ready for them.
They come as waves on their own not necessarily to hurt, damage or destroy.
Its all a matter of attitude, the mind set, mentality, expectations and response.
You can glide over the waves while some others are swept away by it.
Even if you are ever swept off your feet by the floods of life, you can come over the waters again by the
scriptural provision that you will rise again, even after seven times of fall if you ever fell up to seven
times.
The eye inspires and motivates the body to move beyond intimidation and limitations.
Just as the eye move the body it is only vision that can move destiny forward.
-It is the heart of man that defines the limit of His blessing.
-The heart of man is the magnet to fortune.
-God sees the heart before the looks at the face.
The God we are talking about has no limit, we can only under-ask not over-ask, no request scares Him,
He is the only one that says after all we have asked, hitherto you have not ask me anything, ask
again.Do you want a settled World?
Then settle with the settled Word.
Please dont let anything temper with your joy, we are jumping and leaping not that there are no
challenges but because joy commonizes our challenges.
Therefore be joyful today, wake up with a smile on your face!
-Your greatest investment in life is your mind
-Nothing is impossible with your mind in place.
-Things becomes set when your mind is setLife is an adventure in opportunities (Ecc 9:11). Every destiny
that flourishes is not because of anything but time and opportunity.
Greatness answers to preparation, what makes a small man become a great man is PREPARATION.If you
do not know when God is doing a specific thing then the things will be hidden from you (Luke 19:42)
God will redeem time but He will not repeat time. Those who engage time get what is theirs, observers of time
wonder why they have nothing.
If anything is moving you from where you are and God is with you, it is for a better place
The moment you have a signal to take a step, dont wait till you have all the details. Move one step after
the other. In the process of time, other details will meet you
Commanders are not made out of convenience but out of chasing commanders. Chase the commands of God
and you will be in command!
Three ways to serve God spiritually:
1. Pray for co-believers
2. Pray for the reign of the word
3. Soul winning
Revelation is the key to every desired transformation. When light comes speed comes
The light you walk in is the light you harvest from. If you do not walk in the light you cannot harvest from it.
Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
Second Service
Be blessed!
From tonight, as you serve God, you will never have the opportunity to beg man. The master key to a
sweatless life can be found in Daniel 11:32 i.e. knowing your God.
God is not looking for who to use, He is looking for who to bless.
You get to know God better when you seek him, then all other things will be added to you.
Deuteronomy 28:1, John 15:16, John 12:26, Exodus 23:26.
You need to have a heart for God to seek Him. 2 Thessalonians 3:5If you say you love and know God then get
committed to His interest which is Soul Winning.
Every genuine engagement with spiritual stewardship changes a believer's level. 2 Peter 1:19
Our engagement in His interest is for our own advancement. 1 Peter 5:6.
Serve God with all excitement in you because He does not need us for anything but we need Him for
everything. So we must serve Him willingly and cheerfully so we can get the results.
Watch out!!! This next 7 weeks will be unusual in your life.
Take every prophetic instruction with every seriousness. Take them as the most serious business.
Every prophetic declaration for the year 2015 will be manifest in your life this season. Every barrier that is long
standing in your life must be broken in this season!
The financial giant in you will arise this season.
I release upon you the grace for timely move towards prophetic mandate for the actualisation of the blessings
of the midst of the year.
By the miracles in your life, multitudes will follow you to serve your God.
.SNIPPETS FROM PASTOR DAVID OYEDEPO JNR TEACHING AT OUR MID-WEEK SERVICE
- Every construction of God is at the mercy of revelation.The word of God is the builder of the church of God.
Acts 11:44
-As kingdom Eagles, the word of God is a necessity.
What you eat determines what you become. Duet 32:11-12
-Dietary requirement of an Eagle:
- Honey for purity
- Oil for Power
Both are a type of the word of God
-If you want to see light, engage in intercession.Pray for every service.
It is our responsibility to prepare for every service.
-God's ear only attends to the prayers of the heart not the eloquence of the language.
When your heart is crying, God is hearing like Hannah.
-Learn the mystery of One Line Prayer
Pray on an issue until you have an answer.The psychological satisfaction of praying is not enough
-Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
Prayer remains a permanent need for the church (Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30). God is always looking for
people who pray.
(2 Corinthians 3:5) We can do nothing except through Christ. (Hebrew 4:16) We pray to secure His assistance.
(Matthew 16:18) The Church is not built except by God's hand and for His hand to be provoked to build, prayer
is necessary - Pastor David Oyedepo JnrTheme of the Month: SERVING GOD PAYS - Job 36:11
- Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr.
For everything there is a season and God makes everything beautiful according to his own time. Ecclesiastes
3:1, 11
When man understands the purpose of time, you will surely exceed your peers.
In order to operate in the supernatural, you must seek to find what God is currently doing and do it with him!'
Amos 3:7 ''Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets''
- From this scripture it is clear the prophets are the custodians of God's seasonal agendas for man to partake
in.
Therefore as the Midst of the year has been declared, it shall be a season of Revival (Habbak 3:2) and
engaging in labour for His Kingdom (Haggai 2:4). You shall be gloriously blessed as you partake in this
fundamental season!
HOW MUST WE WORK?
- Through Prayer + Fasting. Matthew 9:38
It is vital as it determines the motion and operation of the Spirit of God
-->WHAT ARE WE ENGAGING IN PRAYER + FASTING?
1) Salvation of Souls
There is a travail in the Spirit for the birth of the children of God; Isaiah 66:7-8
Souls born out of prayer hardly waver.
2) Establishment of Converts
Gal 4:19 - The travail does not stop at the instance of birth!
As God assigns babies to women, he assigns souls to us!
Coloss.4:12 - We must pray to ensure they become planted
3) Rain of the life-transforming Word
As a reflection of being saved, we must pray that their lives also begin to change to one that will please the
Lord.
- Through Soul Winning. Mark 16:15
If you are not preaching the Gospel as we are ordained to by God, we are not fulfilling our role as believers.
Real Christianity = Advertised Christianity
A hidden Christian means that the light has gone out, don't allow your apparent dignity to be a hinder
evangelising to the lost as it will only lead to shame!
RETURNS OF SPIRITUAL STEWARDSHIP
1) Destruction of Yokes
2) Express answers to prayers. Isaiah 58:9
REWARDABLE STEWARDSHIP
I want to share something that is very important that I believe will assist each of one of us in our journey as
stewards in this house.
I take my text from I Corinthians 15:58.
Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfastNumber one key- Unmovable
Number two key-Always abounding
Number three key-Knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord
I want to share these three very important keys for rewardable stewardship. If these three things are in place,
then you have not wasted your labour.
1. The number one key is Be ye steadfast. This talks about Consistency. Stewardship demands continuity and
consistency. There are many on and off stewards. They are on today and off tomorrow, they are present today
and absent tomorrow. They are in today and out tomorrow. If you want your stewardship to be rewardable, then
you must be consistent.
We are already in the second quarter of the Heaven on earth year and Heaven on earth miracles and
blessings are already being spread abroad. We have heard testimonies of the type we have never heard
before. God is at work that is not in question. Whether He is going to be at work for you, in you and around you
is actually dependent on you.
You therefore need to be consistent, not hot today and cold tomorrow. There are too many people who are not
steadfast and not consistent in their pursuit. I pray that whatever has brought about inconsistency in anyones
stewardship, today by this encounter, it is overturned.
2. The number two key is Be unmovable. When the bible talks about being moved, it is talking about being
persuaded out of something or into something. For example, Noah moved by the instruction that he heard. The
bible says we have received a Kingdom that cannot be moved. There are many Christians that are very
movable and the kingdom that we are in is an unmovable kingdom. You cannot be cheaply moved or offended.
You cannot be easily moved, persuaded or manipulated. A believer who is going to enjoy rewardable service
must be unmovable. Let nobody around you determine the tenacity of your stewardship.
You may be somewhere ushering and somebody enters the church, probably under one oppression or the
other. The first thing, you are trying to help him sit down and he will insult you straight. Then you say No, I
cannot usher. How can they be talking to me like that? That is an example of being moved. The devil has a
way of trying to move people when they are closest to their reward. We must become unmovable.
3. The number three key is always abounding. This word is an interesting word because it means always
increasing in the work of the Lord, in tenacity, in passion, in fire. It should never be said as to when you used
to be passionate. You cannot be living on stale manna. You cannot be telling the story of when you used to
serve with passion. Anytime your stewardship passion is past tense, destiny is in trouble.
There must be increase on a daily basis, no matter where you find yourself. It is not about whether you are in
position or not. A servant does not need a position. A servant is present to serve. He is not in need of a
position. His presence is to serve and service does not require appointment. God will help our understanding.
If you want your stewardship to be rewardable, can God meet you with more passion than yesterday? Is He
sure he will meet you next week with more drive increasing than He met you last week? This is what
determines the rewardability of your stewardship.
BENEDICTION
I pray that God will give us grace for those three things grace to be steadfast, grace to be unmovable and
grace to always be abounding in the work of the Lord. I can tell you something your labour this year shall not
be in vain. Nobody will ask you where your God is, this year! Everyone that sees you will see the handiwork of
God. I pray for you as a steward in this house, you cannot be serving in this productive family and lack
productivity. In the name of Jesus, everything concerning your life and destiny is commanded to work now, in
the name of Jesus Christ. God has never allowed this church to be at a point where things are not working.
Therefore concerning you every day of your life, things shall be working for you, in the name of Jesus. All
through this year, the rewards and benefits of stewardship shall be your portion on every side. Your
stewardship in the WSF, your stewardship in the various units, your stewardship in every dimension, it shall be
rewarded fully this year, in the name of Jesus.
ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FULLY ENGAGED AT THE WSF THIS EVENING.
"All your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children" - Isaiah 54:13
At every opportunity, as you ensure mental, social and physical growth in your children, don't neglect spiritual
growth - therein lies their peace in life. And therein lies your own peace in life!
When your children are on the right path as they become adults, you won't spend your advanced years in
unrest, running after them. When they are going in the right direction, you are truly able to enjoy the fruits of
your labour over them.
As you hang out with them, play with them, talk to them, always deposit something from God's Word in them therein lies their peace in life! And therein lies your own peace in life!

Develop Your Resources
MOST of us are like wild landundeveloped.
We show signs of real wealth, but it is lying underneath the roots and stumps and refuse that need to be
cleared away to make the soil usable.
Here is a voice with marvelous timbre, but no training. They write across it, "Unusable, undeveloped."
Here is a face with a smile that has wrapped up in it a fortune, but the mind back of it is untrained, unfit,
unready. We write across it, "Unavailable."
What we need is hard work, not work on impulse, but on principle. We need to drive ourselves until we have
developed the rich resources within us.
The time to do it is now.
Begin today to clean up that rich bottom land in your nature, and get it into production at once.
Make everything swing into line now to the one great objective of your life.
Determine your future; settle what you are going to do and then make every day pay tribute.
Form habits of study, habits of industry.
Learn to save the moments; the hours will take care of themselves.
Form the habit of concentration, downright hard thinking.
Drive your mind. Become an absolute slave-driver over your own faculties. They are your slaves, your
servants. Make them work. Make them study. Make them develop.
Kill laziness and that droning habit of dreaming. Transform it into vital energy.
Set the dynamo of a tremendous purpose loose inside of you.
Indecision and wastefulness of ability and time must be destroyed.
Fight for time.
It is the most valuable asset you have.
Cut every corner. Save every moment.
Be exact with yourself. Put yourself on a schedule.
Make yourself do your best.
Wasting time is wasting ability. It is wasting the thing that makes you worth while.
Learn to use it. Make your time your wealth.
Make moments pay dividends.
Carve out of every day that which spells success for tomorrow.
Make yourself worth while.
Make people want you.
Make yourself so attractive, so vitally attractive, so valuable that men will hunt after you.
Make opportunities where no opportunities ever existed before.
Make yourself ready for the opportunity.
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MEN: Your wife, your crown
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband
-Proverbs 12:4When you look at the rate of infidelity in marriages today and then listen to the excuses some
people make, it can be extremely mind- boggling. Some men make statements like my wife
does not dress appealing enough, her hair is never made up, or my wife never knows how to
put on just a little makeup to cover those pimples! My question to these men today is, what
effort
have
you
made
to
make
her
look
the
way
you
want?
A king is incomplete without a crown; but the way his crown actually looks, tells you a lot about
the kings person and the kind of authority he has. Same principle applies for your wife. The way
she appears in public and how well put together she looks, tells a lot about you.
If the Bible says your wife is your crown, and you understand that your authority is incomplete
without her, it confirms the value you place on her. Remember, the Bible enjoins the man to
deeply, completely and honestly love his wife; and I have come to understand that love and
submission go hand-in-hand. A woman that has received true and pure love from her husband is
naturally bound to submit. When this happens, your marriage becomes blissful and enviable to
all.
Your crown remains of immense value to you. It is what notifies the world of your kingship and
causes generations even yet unborn to refer to you. So, beginning today, show that you value
your wife by taking care of her needs, providing for her and the family as a whole. No matter
how much she may be earning, your respect will be weightier when you also work to take care of
her
and
her
needs.
You can always go out of your way to make her look beautiful. Buy her good and quality love
gifts, no matter how little, and she will appreciate you for it. Treat her like a queen, and you will
in turn be treated like a king. The love you profess for/on your wife can clearly be seen in her
countenance and that includes the way she looks. Be a true king today by showing care to your
crown.
Remain Blessed!
Excerpts from the teachings by Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr at our service on the covenant day of Long life.
There is no situation you are facing that cannot be changed. What need to be changed first is your power
level.
It takes prayer and fasting to key yourself into that level of power where Satan and his cohorts that had
intimidated you in the past began to run from you.
Apostle Paul was constantly fasting and praying therefore he was filled with so much power that he was
intimidating death. Paul lived to become an old man .Philemon 1:9
Until you are satisfied with your time the world, no one can take it your life from you.John 10:18
I pray for you today that whatsoever is trying to snatch life from you is cursed in the Name of Jesus.
Your Faith: We shall be looking at the effect of your Faith in activating the covenant of long life :
When faith goes to work, God goes to work. You must carry the mentality of an overcomer that death will not
have victory over you. You must not enter an aircraft thinking it can crash nor you must be in a car thinking it
can be involved in an accident.
Death is conquered on your behalf already. You are ransomed from the power of the grave. Hosea 13:14
The word of God settled your overcomer's status in 1 John 5:4.
How to build your Faith
a) Pursue Revelation:
It is revelation that fuels Faith because Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word Roman 10:17.
b) Banish all consideration. Let all your body be filled with the light of the revelation yo caught.'
Prayers:
The light of your life shall never be extinguished. Long life; strong life filled with vitality is your portion in Jesus
Name.
This is the excerpts from the teachings by Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr at our first service on the covenant day of
Long life.
The power of the blessing.
You are free from the curse Revelation 22:3,
- I decree this year as a year of reward for you. We have already entered the second quarter but what God will
do for you, in the rest of this year, will surpass what you have enjoyed in many years put together, in the name
of Jesus. So shall it be, in Jesus precious name. Amen.
This evening is our mid week service, come to activate the grace of God in your for empowerment.
See you there.
Jesus Christ is the totality of gift of God to all mankind. Have you accepted this gift into your life? Today is the
best day to accept this gift.Ask yourself am I in union with God? Am I in relationship with Him? Am I loosing
touch with God? If you are not sure, then the answer is No. You can come back to Him today. Please take a
BOLD step of faith and return to Him today by saying this prayer of salvation.Excerpts from the teachings by

Many people pray breakthrough and speak breakdown; they pray health and speak sickness. The moment
it is rooted in your in the heart, it dominates the head. If God said so, your job is to believe so, and start
saying so. So, believe it, say it, and then become it.
Expect to see prophecies fulfilled. Expectation is Mrs. Faith; when Faith (Mr. Faith) meets with
expectation (Mrs. Faith), it delivers. Without expectation, faith remains impotent. (See Prov. 24:14)
"Many people have not appreciated the ministry of Philip in their lives. So, they limit themselves to what
they can find out by themselves. That's a long way out. The deeper your depth, the stronger your faith, and
the greater your level of command."
"Every time faith is rooted in the heart, it dominates the head, because the faith in your heart has
subdued your mind."
"...I have to choose between the doctor and The One who said 'He took my infirmities.' And the One who
took, His name is called The Truth."
"Every of the 55 items in that personalized prophetic declarations for 2015 are ordained to be fulfilled;
and not by your hand but by God's hand. If there are 10,000 people on the line for miracle babies, God
has more. God is a mystery; He will give out your phone number and they will call you where you never
applied. You think God doesn't know numbers? In Kinshasha, He gave the number of the President to a
Pastor walking on the street and a straight word which the Pastor spoke to the President. The word
came to pass and the president started looking for the pastor. God will fill a form and put your name
and number on it."
There is no kingmaker on the earth; God is the only authentic kingmaker. So He will ensure that His Will is
established in Nigeria at all levels. He will ensure theres no war by putting in power only those who are
righteous,
Watch it, concerning this nation, theres a great future. This election shall be peaceful; it will come to
pass like a dream of the night. Offices will not be shut down for a moment; it shall be peaceful, there
will be order as ordained by God and we will celebrate at the end of the day,
Now there is famine in diverse placeswe will soon hear that nations are acquiring other nations; some
will even sell themselves to other nations, begging them to allow them become states in their nations,
2) God also goes with us. Matthew 28:19 - 20. As we are pursuing God''s agenda for our lives he is with us
always. John 8:28-29 - as we seek to continually do Gods agenda he will always be with us.
How do we engage with the Holy Spirit to gain Vision?
Engage the Holy Spirit to engage with the word.
Psalm 40:7 - By praying and asking God to help you to understand the word of God in a way that will give you
the answers to the questions of your heart so that you will not be lead astray from what the Lord God has
planned for you. 2 Corinthians 3:6 - The word of God is not a book to be read with knowledge but a book to be
read of the with the Holy Spirit.
Gods plan for us does not include the vision for our life but to maintain health and to be in prosperity. Matthew
10:1 - The power of God is released through the holy spirit and with that power are able to conquer affliction
and disease.
How do I take dominion over sickness and disease?
By the power of our words. John 6:63 - The spoken word is a spirit carrier, the spirit is the life giver. Genesis
2:7 - By Gods word he created all living things and man, that power of the word of God in which was used to
create all living things has been given to man in the form of the Holy Spirit power therefore whatever we decide
to reject is rejected and whatever we decide to accept we can accept. Therefore we can reject sickness by the
power of the word of God.
Second Service Message : Encounter with Power Part 2B - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr.
The Holy spirit is the fountain from which every positive change is initiated. It is impossible for the believer to
be guaranteed of the promise of God without the Holy Spirit. These last days are the holy spirit era.The
capacity of the holy spirit gives you the grace to fulfill destiny.
2 Cor 3:5.
What is the ministry of the Holy Spirit?
The ministry of vision - Joel 2:28. Vision is the unveiling of divine plan. The guarantee of your future, is in
following the plan of God. God's plan is often different from that of man.
Why is an encounter with vision an encounter with power?
1) When you walk in God's vision, God works with you.
God will become a co-labourer with us in our various endeavours. Eph 2:10 God will always work with those
who are following his plan. We must follow God's plan, be what God has made you to be. Locate God's plan
and stay with it.
2) When you walk in God's vision, God works through you.
There is an ability which God gives that no man can give. There is a capacity with God that is unleashed when
man in God's plan.
How do we engage the Holy Spirit to access vision?
By engaging the holy spirit through prayer. Pray about the decisions that you need to make. Prayer is the
method through which you can ask for direction from God.
God's agenda for you is to be in divine health, however the devil is also equally intent on oppressing and
afflicting the children of God.
How do I take dominion over sickness and disease?
The power of communion- the communion is the body of Christ and Christ is the rod of deliverance. This will
swallow up every disease and affliction.
The communion is also the blood. The blood contains the life that was in Christ. When you drink the blood you
are the drinking the life of Christ. This is a life without disease, sickness and oppression. You are set free from
every sentence of death by partaking in the blood at the communion
The communion table is our access to a life of divine health.
Third Service Message of our Covenant Day of Total Health : Encounter With Power 2C -Pastor David
Oyedepo Jnr.
The promise of the father to every child of God is the gift of the holy spirit. Lk 24:49, Eph 1:14
God's promise is at risk or inaccessible without the gift of the holy spirit.
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit entails:
-Ministry of Vision
What is Vision? It is the unveiling of God's divine plan. Hab 2:3
When God is working for you things will be working well for you. Job 1: 7, Ps 23: 4 Your destiny requires the
active hand of God for it to be fulfilled. Take God's plan so as to be fulfilled. Don't do it on your own.
Stay in the plan of God. Know who you are and know God's plan for your life, then stay with that plan. It
doesn't cost God anything to change your when you stay in His plan. Ambition is not equal to vision. Ambition
can lead to frustration.
How do you access vision?
-We engage the holy spirit through prayer
-We engage the habit of meditation through the holy spirit. The more you meditate , the more you receive
direction. Prov 6: 21-22 Meditation helps you get connected.
God's plan may not sound palatable to you but it is one that has a future.
How do you take dominion ?
- By understanding the power in the name of Jesus and also through your confidence in the name of Jesus.
- By the power in the Communion. The communion is the body of Christ and Christ is the rod of deliverance.
This will eradicate every disease and affliction.
The communion is also the blood. The blood contains the life that was in Christ. When you drink the blood you
are drinking the life of Christ. This is a life without disease, sickness and oppression. You are set free from
every sentence of death by partaking in the blood at the communion
The communion table is our access to a life of divine health.
Message by Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr on the 3rd day of Week of Spiritual Emphasis.
Topic Engaging the power of the Holy spirit for conquest
The Holy Spirit is the principal gift of God to the believer. Acts 2:38,
Your association with God will carry no proof unless you are associated with the person of the Holy Ghost.
Roman 8:14
- This world is a warefare not a funfare. Ephesian 6:12
- There is no way you will be a friend to the devil. The devil is constantly waging battle against the children of
God. Revelation 12:17
- It takes the help of Spirit of God to win victory in this warefare. Isaiah 59:19
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE POWER OF GOD IN YOU FOR VICTORY
1. Praying in the Spirit. Jude 1:20
The Spirit in you is activated by praying in the Spirit. Pray constantly in the day and at night to build up power
for the day you will need it in battle. It is like charging up your phone battery for use. (1 corinthians 14:2-4).
Building your prayer life should not be reserved for when there is a challenge. Let your prayer life be consistent
and constant to build up for any challenge you may confront.
Those who pray long inside the closet don't pray long outside.- Bishop David Abioye.
2. Connecting with the SENT WORD Psalm 107:20
The sent word is the word for a specific situation.
We have the :
- There is the right word,
- The sent word,
- The word in season.
You engage the power of the Holy Ghost to connect the right word , the word in season to address your
situation.
Knowledge is the key to freedom . it is only what you don't know that can keep you in bondage.
Many times we are victim of the revelation we do not possess. The devil is not terrorising you because he is
more powerful than you but because of the revelation you do not have.
Pray that the Holy Ghost will reveal the sent word to you to overcome every battle.
3. Being Strengthened with Might in the inner man. Ephesian 3:16
Where your courage stops, is where your conquest stops.
1. As the woman in the home, your husband should be able to say that his life is better than when he was
single.
2. Keep your home tidy
3. Be Hospitable
4. Always keep food at home.
C). The Woman and the In laws
Your covenant responsibility is to your immediate family. Therefore Focus on building oneness with your
spouse .
Love your in laws , take them as part of your home.
Take time to call them and give to them.
Show them respect and Respect your family as well.
This also applies to the husband.
Power is the requirement to live a Heaven on earth lifestyle. (Daniel 7:27). However it takes power to take what
belongs to you (Deuteronomy 2:24)
The resurrection power is what makes you have dominion over life's circumstances and Jesus has given us
this power (Luke 10:19) (Philippians 3:10).
We need this power because life is a battlefield not a playground and power is the only thing that the enemy
respects. Without power there is no submission from the enemy.
The Holy Spirit is the means through which we can gain this power (Luke 24:49) but faith is how we acquire
this power. It is the key to gain victory in life (1 John 5:4) and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of faith; He will give
you faith to walk in victory (2 Corinthians 4:13).
Faith is an attribute to the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 12:7-9) It is the tool that draws from the unchallenged
power of God to do the impossible (Ephesians 6:16).
Supernatural faith empowers us to operate in the realm of unlimited possibilities. The spirit of faith puts you in
control of every situation in your life (Mark 11:23) (John 14:12)
Your level of glory in life is according to your faith in God.
The Holy Spirit impacts on you the gifts of faith on demand (James 1:17) (1 Corinthians 12:7-9/31).
The Holy Spirit empowers us to dare the impossible and speak the impossible (Mark 11:23).
The Holy spirit deepens our insight in the word of God in order to fire up our faith for unquestionable victory (1
Corinthians 2:9).
The more of God's word is in you the more you have faith and the more dominion you have.
If you are set for power, God is set to give it to you but you must be violent (Matthew 11:12)
Your intimacy with the Holy Spirit will refine you. This is needed because gifting without character is crisis. If
God has not put you through the process of refining, then you will never excel fully in life.
You are packaged with raw materials to fulfill purpose. Gold will be unappreciated until it goes through the heat
required to refine it to become the precious metal it is.
Today's Message: ENCOUNTER WITH POWER
Characteristics of the last days:
a. Outpouring of the spirit
b. Revealing of God's glory which takes away our shame and reproach.Is 60:1-3, Rom 8:18
c. Manifestation of His power. Eph 3:20
Pathway to Resurrection Power:
a. Power of resurrection Heb 13:20
Power of resurrection converts all negative things into positive in our lives including sicknesses, oppression
etc. Rom 8:11
b. It converts death into life. Heb 2:14,15; Rev 1:18; Jn 10:18; 1 Cor 15:52
c. It converts filthiness into holiness, captivity into freedom, trouble into breakthrough and sickness into health.
How To activate this Power:
By faith-not just by confession but by conviction. The spirit that brought Jesus out of the grave can also
quicken your mortal body. Acts 10 : 38
It is the revelation of God that determines your ultimate dominion over the mountains of life. Don't watch your
life disintegrate, cry unto God for revelation of His power to terminate the oppression of the devil. Anyone who
encounters God is forcefully advanced.
The power of God is the secret to the manifestation of the power of the last days which is the power of
resurrection.You can provoke this power at the altar of Prayer and fasting. Prayer is the pathway to the
unveiling of this power. Jeremiah 33:3. The more of God we see and experience, the more power we manifest.
The day of His Power are the last days. Psalm 110:3. The arrival of the Holy Ghost is the arrival of Power. The
power of God is the secret of the dominion of saints. Psalms 66:3. The last days are also the days of the
revealing of His Glory. The arrival of the Glory of God brings distinction to the children of God. God's glory is
the cure to the shame of life.
Jesus was killed in dishonor, He was sown in dishonor but was risen in GLORY! Your shame is over in the
name of Jesus! - Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
The Bible said that the had the princes of this world knew how Jesus' death was going to turn out, then they
would not have crucified Him. Your enemies, mockers and all those who have tried to crucify you will regret in
the name of Jesus! Pastor
All sleeping destinies are brought to life through the power of Jesus' resurrection in the name of Jesus!
(Job 42:5) Job heard that God could do all sort of things and heard all things about God. But when He saw
God with His eyes through revelation, His story changed. Just as his end was better than his beginning, so
shall it be for you!
The revelation from God is what gives you power (Ezekiel 1:1). Your relevance begins at the revelation of God
to you. The revelation of God you possess is what determines the depth of power you get and the promises
you can get
2 Corinthians12:9. The grace of God is more than sufficient for us, for his strength is made perfect in our
weakness
When God's glory comes shame goes away...Isaiah 60:1-3. When God's glory comes into your life, your life
becomes an attraction to others.
Be an observer and keep the right company. Overtime your wisdom will either diminish to the level or rise to
the level of your company.
God is not obliged to take you past a position He left someone else in your field of work. Study to that point so
that He can carry you!
The more love you have for God, the more revelation He shows unto you. Have wisdom in your field of work
but seek divine wisdom to make you relevant in your generation.
Instruction from God gets you to the destination He has said about your life. Mary and Joseph had to obey
God to live despite Jesus' destiny
The fear of God is to seek the satisfaction of God above your pleasure (Genesis 38:9) (Genesis 42:18). Your
restraints in your life is what determines whether or not you fear God. It will cost you today but it will make you
tomorrow.
You must fear the Lord if you are to gain wisdom. This means to love Him above all things. You love God by
having regard for God and His word above all else, to stand up for truth and stand out above all evil.
Stop operating foolishness thinking it is wisdom. When you are reading in your effort it is foolishness; when
you do anything outside of God's wisdom it is foolishness because He does no back it.
Divine wisdom ensures that the opportunities of destiny do not miss you.
It is wisdom to build your life on the word of God; to rest your effort on the word.
If doing what you know does not reflect Heaven, then it is not wisdom. Wisdom is divine; it is from
above. Depend on God's wisdom in order to ensure your delivery from evil in all that you do; your
academics, you business and all areas of your life
Divine wisdom is far fetched from all earthly institutions (1 Corinthians 1:24). Doing what you know
does not equate to wisdom. You may know foolishness and be doing foolishness
You can decide to do anything in the world but you are at your best at your calling
Be a thinker. Occupy your mind with His word to apply it. God speaks more to thinkers than to talkers.
Be a reader. Study the word of God and relevant books to gain wisdom. Pasto
A wise man will observe by hearing. Acquiring knowledge is better than displaying knowledge.
Be sharpened with the word of God and you will be filled with wisdom
It is not the exercise of the hand that brings wealth but the exercise of the mind.
Wisdom is knowing truth and applying it; the truth being God's word
When higher wisdom comes, lower conditions change. The law of gravity is present yet an aeroplane
can stay in the sky for hours. Therefore wisdom from above is superior to earthly wisdom.
Wisdom is from above (James 3:17) (Isaiah 55:9). People may not like wise men but they cannot help
but notice you. You may hate the sun when it is hot but you have to tolerate it.
A man of wisdom will overtake a man of strength (Ecc 9:16). (Deuteronomy 34:9-10) Caleb was
stronger than Joshua but the people feared Joshua like they feared Moses and Joshua was not a
prophet but was filled with the spirit of wisdom.
(Psalms 104:24) Everything God made required wisdom. If your life is to produce results that will shock
the world you need wisdom.
There are certain things you do not pray about but pray for wisdom to rule them
You can obtain divine wisdom by keeping the right company. Do not hang around those who will pull
you down or better yet, make the effort to pull them up!
You can also gain wisdom from observation (Proverbs 6:6). Through observation, you can know how
not to be foolish by observing a fool and how to be wise by observing a wise man.
You can gain wisdom by asking God for it! Just ask Him and He will make all things known unto you.
You can gain divine wisdom through spending time in His word. Revelation from God when studying
His word will elevate you in life!
Wisdom is what makes people seek you, what gives you authority, it prevents you from being boxed
thereby allowing you to reign with authority!
Being abnormal is not a bad thing. The first two letters stand for 'above' meaning that you are seated in
the highest place, far above with Jesus!
Earthly wisdom makes you normal but Heavenly wisdom makes you abnormal. Your God is not normal
so who do you look like?
Wisdom is knowing the right thing and doing it; following the right path and making the right turns;
doing what is required to acquire your desire.
Wisdom is the principal commodity for exploits. You can seek to be great but without wisdom, you
cannot achieve it! (Mark 6:2)
When Jesus said that those in the new era after John the Baptist would be greater than those in the
old era, He was talking about you!
SNIPPETS FROM A HEARTY CHARGE BY PASTOR DAVID OYEDEPO JNR TO CHURCH WORKERS
Tiltle: BE PREGNANT WITH EXPECTATION
Anything that looks good yesterday can be better tomorrow. The path of the just is ordained to be brighter and
brighter.
Get set that there would be some strange things, strange occurrences in Jesus Name. Something Good is
about to happen.
Roman 12:11- says be not slothful in business but fervent in the spirit serving The Lord.
1. God does not appreciate lazy delivery. Whatever does not take from you is not acceptable to God. Service
to God must cost you something.
To be fit for his service, you must not look back. Luke 9:52
Complete investment of self in the work of God. Not with eye service.
2. Fervent in spirit.
Don't permit carnality in any area of your life. By their fruit you shall know them.
Christianity that is not expressive is not real. Therefore, there should be daily expression of the faith in our
living, and operation.
God is not looking for the lukewarm, He seek those with fire. Those with proof and validity .
Until there is diligence and fervency, your service becomes answerable to The Lord.
The devil would attack those factors and elements that are key to your lifting .
Whatever, attacks your diligence and fervency is attacking your destiny. So resist that attack violently.
Take hold of Grace, Grace to be diligent and to be fervent in word study, in prayer and in fasting.
One of the tricks of the enemy in this season is through offences. Ignore Whatever anyone does to you
especially during this season.
Don't let anyone push you off your course
This evening is our WORD AND WONDER NIGHT, be there.
Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr
God will never say what He's not ready to do. So anytime you say what His word says, He cannot back out.
Because you have cornered Him, He is forced to answer.
What is faith?
It is a spiritual engraftment of humanity into divinity thereby combining the vine and the branches into
supernatural feats. John 15:15 Romans 11:19-22
It lets human beings enjoy what only God should enjoy. So when you walk in faith, you enjoy what is of God.
Faith makes things happen that even men cannot understand.
What makes bible faith unique?
Bible faith drives the believer into taking delivery of his desires. James 2:18
Effects of Faith
-bible faith drives you to a place of supplication Matt 11:12
-Step of prayer. Faith makes you war with your situation by prayer
-appreciation. You appreciate God by which he has determined to do. We confirm our Faith in him by
appreciation.
Vital terms required to enjoy the settlement of God
1) We must fully return to God. II Chronicles 15:3
Whatever puts you at variance with God, you have to fight against it. Until you've settled what can hinder your
prayers, you can not be settled.
2) We must be planted in the house of God. Psalm 92:13. Where the word of God flows for you, should be
where you should be. That is, wherever the message concerning your life is being preached, is where you
should be planted. Ephesians 5:26
3) choose to serve in the house of the Lord. Exodus 23:25
4) We must pray our desire. James 4:2. We need to cry to God for our answers to come.
5) Raise an alter of sacrifice psalm 61:1, II Samuel 24:25
Excerpt of message by Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr on the 22nd March, 2015 at the second service.
Engaging the power of Faith for the fulfillment of prophecies.
Phillpians 4:19 God has resources which cannot be depleted. He has the capacity to supply all our needs. The
riches of God are inexhaustible it does not run out. Let God be true and let every other man be a liar. If you
believe the word of God in which He has set for your life then no other man's word can stand against it.
Prophecies are the unveiling of divine plan. Faith is the master key to a world of unlimited possibilities. It
means where faith is, nothing is impossible Matthew 19:26. Mark 9:23 ... By the belief we have in Christ we are
assured of gaining the things in which is rightfully ours. Faith draws on the power/ ability of God. Anytime you
are in faith you are connecting to the power of God.
The promise of God is tied to the covenant of God. By praying in faith and being active in the Lord's house and
keeping to his word you are provoking God to settle your matter with him and by your consistency that you
have shown to him he will settle your matter.
Get committed to serving God and you will be qualified for the blessings of God.
Faith is the force that takes possession of God's provision (Matthew 9:29).We are only able to take possession
by faith (Galatians 3:14). It is faith that receives what God has released.
God's provisions for your life is found in Jesus but faith allows you to possess them. Provision is different from
possession. You can have food on the table but still be hungry. You are only able to take what God has
provided for you through faith.
Prophecy is the unveiling of divine plans, God's divine plans. It is not human prediction of what could happen
but God revealing what will happen.
The word of God cannot come back unproductive. If God has said its your year of settlement, it will be. For
God is not a man to lie.
If you dont silence the wicked, they will silence the righteous.
Faith is being fully persuaded of the truth, the circumstances notwithstanding.
This is the second part of the special meal for today ....
Every season is Gods season as long as you are able to plug into his plan. Here God tells us his agenda for
us for each year, each month and every service so that we can target our faith towards what God has in stock.
What is Faith?
1. Faith is a mystery
2. Faith is a spiritual weapon
3. Faith is a spiritual force
- Faith is not a principle or strategy. The preaching of faith is not in enticing words of mans wisdom but in the
demonstration of the power of God (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).
- Faith draws energy from divine power. It has the capacity to give someone that has been confirmed barren a
child.
Faith draws strength from:
The person and presence of God
The promise and power of God
What makes bible faith unique?
1. Bible faith is of the heart.
It is an internal conviction that you too convinced of. Just the same way I know that the hospital environment is
not for me, I know that poverty is not for me, you cant make me think that I am failure. It is a conviction inside
me for with the heart man believes and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
2. Bible faith manifests through the tongue
You cannot be in faith and not say it. Faith demonstrates itself in speech (1 Corinthians 2:4-5; 2 Corinthians
4:13). A faith mans speech will always betray him because his faith will show naturally in how he speaks. His
words may be contrary to his situation. For example a faith man may be saying whilst in the hospital I cannot
be sick because he is walking by faith and not by sight. What is in him is coming out in his confession. His faith
is seeing ahead what his natural eyes cannot see. Some may say but I dont know what to say..? If you truly
believe you will know what to say. Just believe and what to say will come naturally.
3. Bible faith is expressed in prayer in prayer.
One of the primitive expressions of faith is prayer. Believe that you receive what you are praying for and you
shall have it (Mark 11:24). Prayer is an expression of our faith. Matthew 21:22 says all things you ask in prayer
believing, you shall receive. God has told us this is a miracle prayer rally.
This is the word God gave me for this service: Isaiah 8:38 whatever prayer and supplication is made in this
place, the Lord will hear from heaven, and forgive and do and give every man according to his ways so that
they may fear the Lord. Fearful acts shall be the outcome today. It does not matter if today is your first time
here. This mean your prayer has to be answered.

ENGAGING THE POWER OF FAITH FOR THE FUFILMENT OF PROPHECIES by Pastor David Oyedepo
Jnr.
- Our God is a God of Purpose in which his plans have times and seasons.There is no season without an
agenda or time without a purpose! Ecclesiastes 3:1
-Everything we see in the scriptures are declarations of divine intention - His Book is one of great prophecies!
Prophecies are...
- Unfolding of divine agenda as it relates to individuals, institutions or a Nation; It is not religious wishes!
Faith is...
- A mystery of the Kingdom; not a religious theory. 1 Timothy 3:9, Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 4:18
A mystery can be described as phenomenon that is difficult or impossible to understand. Faith is a spiritual
force that operates outside the natural realm and perception.
Anchors of Faith:
- Person & Presence of God. Hebrews 11:6
If the presence of God is absent, the power of the promise lacks.
- Promise of God. Hebrews 13:5-6
The person and presence gives validity to the promise which in turn brings about transformation of life by faith.
- The Word of God
You should never be intimidated again because our God is with us!
What makes Bible Faith unique?
- It is of the heart - It is about internal assurance not just a mental agreement of the head. Mark 11:23
To see prophecies fulfilled, one must Inject Faith into the Prophetic word!
ENGAGING THE PRAYER OF FAITH FOR FUFILMENT OF PROPHECIES by Bishop David Oyedepo
- The Word of Faith makes Heaven real on Earth!
- Every prophecy is a pointer to what belongs to us- It is the unfolding of divine purpose, plan and agenda.
- Every prophecy will lie dormant until authentic prayers of faith are engaged to facilitate its delivery.
It is God's task to make the promise but it is man's task to procure the promise but the fact that the promise is
made does not mean that resistance is not there (1 Corinthians 16:9)
Praise is a fountain of wonders; prayer is the means through which we can move mountains, but combined
with praise, the mountain moves on its own accord because God Himself is with you.
Tonight we will be engaging in a higher realm of prayer for empowerment;
- Wrestling kind of prayer
"I will not let you go unless you bless me."- Genesis 32:26
Without a crying there cannot be a crowning. Without groaning, there cannot be growing!
A price must be paid for every prize you want to win therefore only those prepared can win a battle.
- Effectual and fervent prayers like Elijah. James 5:17-18
Our level of empowerment ultimately determines our level of command.
Teaching: UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF ONE MAN PRAYER by Bishop David Oyedepo
- Stop seeking sympathy for the issues facing you rather take responsibility! Your destiny is not in the hands of
others but in your own and God's.
You and God equals an Unbeatable team
- We have God's authority to determine the outcomes of our life.
Until you deal with the issues persisting in your life, they will be dealing with you. The devil can only occupy the
place you give him.
Diverse Testimonies of one man prayer in the Bible;
- Abraham. Genesis 18:17-33
- Nehemiah. Nehemiah 1:1-10
- Hezekiah. Isaiah 38:1-8
- Jacob. Genesis 32:24-30
- Elijah. James 5:17
- Daniel. Daniel 6:10
Your progress is an annoyance to the enemy which is why we need power to overcome their plans for you
(Psalm 112:10)
You are now in Jesus therefore every covenant that was set by any principality in your life is broken in the
name of Jesus!
Snippet from the Prophetic declaration at the Blood of Sprinkling :
To everyone connected to this ministry, as this blood of sprinkling touches you:
- Every mark of misfortune will be erased.
- Favour will follow you wherever your name is mentioned. Every
mark is fortune is replaced with mark of favour.
- Every generational curse is destroyed today.
- Every hereditary disease is destroyed .
- Every closed heaven is hereby open in Jesus Name.
