WE ARE NOT MARKETING A CHURCH OR PROPHET O!
WE ARE MARKETING JESUS!

*We have led 1,300 to Christ on the roads during Covid-19 period.

*I once lived in a place where 22 people used same bathroom.

NO CHURCH GROWS WITHOUT A PEOPLE ON THE GO

No Church grows without a people on the go and anyone on the go is in partnership with Jesus (Luke 14:23, John 15:16, Romans 8:31).
So, you live a life of more than a conqueror when you enter into active partnership with Jesus (Matthew 26:20). Anyone on the go enjoys His presence which is the greatest asset of anyone’s life.

Aggressive marketing is key to making great sales: no matter the quality of the product, it will take effective marketing to push it to the market, to making great sales. Aggressive marketing, a ‘never give up’ marketing.
Two lessons came strong from the 2 testimonies we heard. Someone said “my 8 year membership cannot compare with my 3 month obedience”; because membership does not change anybody’s story, but obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1-4). The blessings follow our obedience. Obedience of faith is key to assessing our blessings in the Kingdom (John 2:5).
So favour ran after him (from documented testimony), suddenly his name began to ring somewhere because the time to favour him had come. Suddenly, somebody without a job for 2 years became an employer of labour overnight. No job then to an employer of labour.

There are many people hearing me and listening to me today, who have no job on their hands, but BY THE END OF THIS PROPHETIC SEASON, YOU’VE BEEN TURNED TO AN EMPLOYER OF LABOUR BY THE FAVOUR OF GOD.
Some people’s businesses and market is crawling and almost non-existing, YOUR TURNAROUND IS HERE. ChurchGist

WHAT IS AGGRESSIVE MARKETING?
You must buy, this is good for you, this is the thing you’ve been looking for, you must get this.
Jesus said, “…you MUST be born again” (John 3:7). Not you may consider it.
Nicodemus, you are a celebrated elder in this land. You are a respected, knowledgeable man but you MUST be born again – Aggressive Marketing.

Aggressive marketing because this is what you’ve been looking for: I am sent to you, to offer you for free because it is free. Jesus is the one you’ve been looking for:

• The one that gives people rest as they come to Him.
• He is the Healer of all manner of sicknesses and diseases.
• He is the Peace that passes all knowledge.

Aggressive marketing – there is this picture painted in Luke 18:1-5 of a judge that fears not God nor man.
There are people you take to God continually, God will break the hardship of their heart until they follow you.
…I won’t let you go, you are a candidate for the Kingdom.
If it’s a relation, God has promised that myself and my household!
And household in Africa is not just you and your wife. If you know the number of people in your household, according to us. Amen, Praise God. They are members of your household, (they) shall be saved. In fact the household of Cornelius involved all his near friends, his kinsmen, that’s God’s household…near friends who have become more or less members of the family, he (Cornelius) called them together and the Holy Ghost fell on all of them
“…for thou shall be saved and thy household” (Acts 16:31).

We have that awesome opportunity to engage in aggressive marketing (Jude 1:22-23)
It takes compassion to rescue people, …pulling them out of the fire – that’s aggressive.
You don’t ask somebody when a house catches fire, “do you want to be rescued?”
What do you do? You grab him either by the neck or by the hair, pull him out.
Aggressive marketing.

Our team had an awesome experience yesterday. Someone who just came out of the prison (a former armed robber) met Jesus in one of our outreaches last year and settled by God. He just went wild when our team arrived at that point:
“Jesus has settled me, now I have this kiosk where I sell phone accessories. I’m married, see my wife.” He was calling everybody around.

Aggressive marketing.
The Samaritan woman went wild to town, “come, see a man” (John 4:29). She was like a mad woman, she was not ashamed of her former state, even those that didn’t know, they knew that time – “He told me that I’ve been married 5 times and the one that I’m with now is not my husband. Aaah, come, see…is this not the Christ?” Someone was repenting there as she was talking and men (not women) followed her, to go and meet Jesus outside town.

Receive grace to engage in aggressive marketing of Jesus.
What are we marketing? Jesus
We are not marketing a Church oooo
We are not marketing a Preacher or a Prophet
We are marketing Jesus, you better know your product.
The product we are marketing is:

• Jesus, God’s solution to the problems of mankind.
• Jesus, the answer to the questions of mankind.
• Jesus, the solution to the issues of mankind.
• Jesus!

Philip went to Samaria and preached Christ (Acts 8:5). Who was he marketing? Christ
And joy filled the city because Jesus is the Joy of the world (Acts 8:8).
The 70 returned with joy saying, “even devils were subject to us in your name” (Luke 10:17)
What were they marketing? The name of Jesus.
So, we are not marketing our Church, we are marketing the Head of the Church and His name is Jesus.

Every time I get to a place, I say, “Jesus sent me to you” and you know at that Name every knee bows, all demons take cover (Philippians 2:10).
In the name of Jesus, be blessed. You will be hearing “Amen” from every corner, they are trooping out because every name bows at that name, every devil bows at that name.

People don’t know their products, that’s why we have problems. We are marketing Jesus through what He is doing in the midst of His people.
Come and meet Jesus, the one who saves us for free.
Meet Jesus, who heals for free.
Come and meet Jesus who settles people indebtedness.
Come and meet Jesus who saves the souls of men and grants eternal life.
Come and meet Jesus in the midst of His people.

You hear me say on the field, we are only one of the Living Churches. There are Living Churches spread across the nations of the earth and that’s the truth. There is one Head of the Church – Jesus.

Our team crossed 1,300 this week.
Shame on the devil – can darkness lock down light? It’ll never be heard.
Somebody has a need and he is introduced to One who can meet his needs, you’ll say, No, there is a lock down. There is no lock down.

Last Sunday, somebody left Church after our Covenant Day of Settlement, this man was indebted to a point that he couldn’t go out for free in case he meets the people he was owing.
After service, they invaded his house, “we are taking you to the Police today. nonsense prayer that you are praying, you will smell in Police cell today.”
Somebody walked in! “What’s the matter?”
He is owing me
How much? And paid them on the spot.
I said last Sunday as a prophet that even today somebody will be settled.
By the following day, because he deals in electronics. They called him, do you have these items? He said yes. They bought off everything he had.
Meanwhile the devil had sat on that business, nobody came asking, “what are you selling?”
He sold everything off within 24 hours. God settled his debt and settled his business. Give the Lord praise.
Can you lock down that kind of person? He must be on the field as I’m talking now.
No, he has met the solution provider.

That’s what the devil is afraid of, across the nations of the earth.
“How will men be gaining solutions for free when we are selling it and they are getting it for free?”
They keep shouting and many more and getting it. But see what technology has done. Over 100, 150 nations are listening to me now. Amen.
That’s your phone, you can reach anybody on your phone.
You can send SMS to anybody.

• Tomorrow is our Covenant Day of Favour. Come and partake of the lavishing favour that Jesus showers on His people.
• One encounter with favour is worth much more than a lifetime of efforts – come.
• Don’t forget, these are the various platforms you can connect with this service. In fact, I will like you to be in my house so we can have some time together.

Let me tell you this: I’ve never had anybody ask me question in my life since I started witnessing Christ, “excuse, why did you say Jesus is Lord?” I’ve never had it. The way I present Him to you, except if you have problem, you will be saying Amen, Amen. You have no choice.
This is not what I read or what I heard, this is my regular natural experience – Jesus.
Remove that name from my life, it’s damp empty.
JESUS:
Who gave me unperturbed peace 51 years ago.
No depression once, 51 years. Don’t joke with me.
Government come, Government goes, same – 51 years
Who gave me joy unspeakable. You’ll always find me smiling.
It’s Jesus, it is not expertise, it’s not somebody has a good understanding…it’s Jesus.
He is the Prince of peace.
He is the Joy of the world.
He is the Master Physician.
He is Everything that anybody may ever need.

See that my daughter (from documented testimony), was a cleaner in one of our provincial centers and somebody said, “I want to just thank You for bringing me to Winners’, my place of worship. Look for any house of your choice, I’ll pay for it.”
She said me, I’m now going to a self-contained apartment! From a multitude apartment where she was living. I once lived in that kind of place where there were 22 people that used the same bathroom, you have to line up and wake up very fast if you want to make anything out of the day, you would have to wake up very fast.
Then to now have where you can walk into the kitchen, in your apartment without anybody seeing what you are cooking.
She said, “I never took it serious until that operation was declared and I got 2 of my converts to Church. I got one of them through to Believers’ Foundation class, got her through to Word of Faith Bible Institute, established and then God stepped in.”

That’s how God will step into your affairs.

Aggressive marketing (1 Corinthians 9:22, Mark 8:38, Acts 4:17-18). That’s to tell you the dominion content of that name. That’s the product we are marketing and that’s the key that opens the door to anywhere: THE NAME OF JESUS. No one shall be left out in this awesome prophetic season.
None of your converts will be lost. Everyone you invite will meet Jesus.
That first testimony, he was just bringing people to Church and Jesus was saving them. He was just bringing them to Church, I don’t know how to preach but come to meet Jesus and they came. And Jesus saved 5 of them; he got rewarded for inviting them to come, for engaging aggressive marketing.
Everything that is geared towards soul winning entitles a believer to open rewards.
The good news is, it’s your turn for a change of story!!! ChurchGist

As we keep sowing the seed of the Word, we must keep watering the same with prayers. There is the planting, the watering and then the increase comes after (1 Corinthians 3:6).
We Go,
Invite (aggressive invitation),
Persistent Reminders,
Sharing the love with short messages – ‘Jesus is waiting for you tomorrow. The time to favour you has come. Don’t miss this service for anything.’
He comes in, Jesus saves Him and he becomes more zealous than you are.

8 years of membership will not be equal to 3 months of obedience. I can tell you this:
20 years of membership will never be equal to 1 month of obedience. If you like, call it aggressive obedience, ‘by all means’ obedience.

John 4:35 “lift up your eyes” – somebody is just next door to you that needs Jesus. They are just from where you are standing.
That little hawker is a valuable asset in the sight of God.
That little ground nut seller, little girl that dropped out of school is an asset in the sight of God.
Somebody is doing some house work for you, you have never minded whether he is saved or not. He’s been waiting!
That your motor mechanic, your electrician – from where you are, you don’t have to travel sir. In your neighbourhood.
You don’t even have to get to the streets, just knock on the door:
“I’ve been praying, I want you to consider this Master Solution Provider, ‘Jesu ni oruko re je oo (His name is Jesus). Olugbala araye ni o (Saviour of the world), Olutunu ni o (He is a Comforter), Oludande ni o (He is a Deliverer)’. He is everything that anybody will ever need.’ I met Him some 4 years ago, I knew the change that took place within me.”
They will call you and thank you: “thank you for today, as if you knew what I was going through. I will be there tomorrow. I will be in your house.”

You will see wonders.
We are not gathering people to a Pastor. We are gathering them to Jesus.
He said, “come unto me, you have struggled enough. Come and learn of me, I will give you rest for your soul” (Matthew 11:28-29).
Only Jesus could say that and only Him said it.
Many will be healed tomorrow in that anointing service.
Many will be delivered live tomorrow and the one doing that is Jesus.
There shall be diverse encounters. Don’t forget to bring your bottles of oil and sit at the feet of Jesus; have your frustrations, your stagnations terminated and begin to fly in the favour of God.

For all of us who have been engaging, tomorrow is your day of favour. For all that you are bringing in, favour will locate them and save their souls.
Pray that prayer for all Winners’ worldwide and all our online worshippers: Grace to step out today and add more to the number you have and see them settle with Jesus.

My prayer is, no one engaging with this prophetic season will be without a turnaround story to tell. Before the 26th of July, you are singing your song of change of story.
You will be visited. You will be transformed, you will be transfigured in the name of Jesus.
