Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide spoke to his members at the Covenant Hour of Prayer. He talked about “What Should We Pray?” and revealed that we must continue praying for the needs of Church members to be met. He read the book of Galatians 6:2 which says, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” He said that it is a law of Christ to take on the challenges of others in prayers for divine intervention. It is so important because as we pray for them and the challenges of their lives clear off, their trials turned to testimonies, and many could follow them to serve God.
According to him, the effect of this is that you just become a compelling force of attraction to God, through His blessings on your life. As we pray down the blessing on God’s people, He turns us into subjects of compelling attraction of men and women into the Kingdom. He said that there are those people today who are in the faith because of the hand of God upon their life. “Anybody in his right mind is attracted to blessings. Every successful person has many relations, whether 1st cousin, 3rd cousin, 6th cousin, 9th cousin, they are all connected. That is the attraction of blessings,” he said.
He said that when they were in their old Church, someone’s tenant had a problem, so the landlord who happens to be an Alhaji said to him, “I see people coming out of that Church, everybody smiling, every day. Go there, maybe God will solve your problem too.” The debtor came to Church, turned his life over to Christ, within 3 months, things turned for him.
The second tenant also had a problem and the landlord told him, “I sent your neighbour to that Church and God changed his life. Go there, maybe God will change your life too.” He came and within 3 months, God changed his story. The man of God then revealed that the Alhaji decided to go to the church too and he is now an elder in this Church. “That is the attractive, magnetic power of changed stories,” he said.
Finally, he said that though we might have seen changes before, we are ordained for changes from glory to glory, not just one change. He said that Phase 1 change will lead to phase 2 change. Phase 2 change will lead to phase 3 change and each change will attract somebody else.
