I hated it as a child when my Grandmother would wake me up at dawn to take me to church to pray every morning – Pastor Bidoun Fatoyinbo

I HATED IT AS A CHILD WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD WAKE ME UP AT DAWN TO TAKE ME TO CHURCH TO PRAY EVERY MORNING.

ANYTIME YOU PRAY AND YOU DO NOT HAVE PEACE, THAT PRAYER IS NOT ANSWERED. PRAY AGAIN!

IF THE DEVIL IS ABLE TO STEAL YOUR JOY, HE HAS STOLEN YOUR STRENGTH

SPIRITUAL COVENANT PRACTICES DON’T END WITH YOU. THEY GO TO YOUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN’S CHILDREN

Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo on Joy || Grand Praise and Love Service ||Part 3

Philippians 4:6 – It is not the answer to the prayer that comes first but the peace of God that surpasses normal understanding. Anytime you pray and you do not have peace, that prayer is not answered. Pray again! The first thing it does is that it guards your heart because everything you are going to see in your life must come from that heart.

If the devil cannot penetrate that heart, he cannot penetrate your life.
Imagine a world renowned boxer punches you and you shake it off and tells him: is that your best? That guy will be afraid of you. If the devil deals you a blow and you respond with joy, it confuses him.
That is why Kenneth Hagin says, “If you make up your mind to stand forever, you will not stand for too long.”

WHY DOES THE DEVIL WANT YOUR JOY?
According Nehemiah 8:10, your joy is your strength. If the devil is able to steal your joy, he has stolen your strength. If he has stolen your strength, then you will be weak. And then if you are weak then you can’t resist him.
The devil before he attacks you knows according to Ephesians 6:16 that the Christian has a shield of faith that can quench all his fiery darts. So what shall he do? He knows faith operates by joy. So he will attack your joy because he knows if he takes your joy you will be weak.

Proverbs 24:10
If you faint on the day of adversity it is because your strength is small. And if joy is our strength, then it is because your strength is small.

John 10:10
The devil comes to steal the Word from you because it is the precursor to joy. When the Word gets into you, it becomes an indomitable thing the enemy cannot handle.

Isaiah 40:30 – 31
When you go to God in prayer or in the Word with your weakness, He exchanges it with His own strength. It is not because of lack of money or the situation you are going through. If you faint on the day of adversity it is because your strength is small. It is because you have not stayed with the Lord. Those who wait upon the Lord, will exchange their strength all the time.

One day I was just down in my house, thinking I wasn’t really called. Nothing was really working and God showed me a scripture and says there is hope in your future. The scripture exploded in my spirit. From that day any Bible I get, I write my name on that scripture.
When I found Proverbs 4:18 MSG – I saw that for believers the longer they live, the brighter they shine.

Hebrews 10:32 AMPC

If your pastor does a series on prosperity for instance, the intent of God, if your pastor hears God, is to bring prosperity to you. God only confirms the Word preached. The Bible says God only multiplies the seed sown. And the sower sows the Word. So what I am sowing to you is what God can multiply.
But Satan attacks the Word immediately. Why do you think Satan attacks it immediately if you think the Word is not true or the Word will not work? Satan will bring contradictory circumstances at that time to make sure you waver. But if you can have a root, you will see the fruit.
Mark 4:15
Acts 5: 40 – 42
2 Corinthians 4:18

There are some times when you stand with God, you go through some things. Every time you are going through something, monitor your joy.
When Paul and Silas were caught and put in a dungeon, chained hands and feet, the same chains became musical instruments to sings hymns, psalms and lifting up God and extolling Him. When Peter was in prison and the church prayed for him, it was only the chains of Peter that broke. But with Paul and Silas the chains of everybody in the dungeons broke. As you praise God today, things will happen in your village.

Spiritual Covenant practices don’t end with you. They go to your children’s children’s children. My maternal grandmother will take me to Redeemed Church of God (where Pastor Adeboye pastors) every morning. She will wake me up 5 a.m. At that time, that was the greatest punishment anybody could give me. She will take me out of all the children and say, “Oya! Let’s go to church.

Those prayers did not go into voicemail. The Bible says John was taken into heaven and he saw a veil. When it was opened, smoke came out. These are the prayers of the saints stored. The prayers you prayed have not been forgotten by God. Some things you said, you may have forgotten but God did not forget.

If your joy cannot remain, it cannot be full. But there is a way it can remain: by staying in the Word always.
You will never see any church that miracles happen that they are not joyous. It is with joy you draw. It is there but you need a fetcher for it and that is your strength.
