WE PLANTED 233 CHURCHES LAST SUNDAY
-Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP
Anybody ganging up to stop the Church is stopping his life.
Every statement of scripture is eternal in nature (Matthew 24:35). It keeps producing all through generations. Just like the Sun has kept shining since creation, the Word that created the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, is the same Word that we have in our hands, so its effect is eternal. Where we live notwithstanding, the effect of the Sun is the same.
Without the Sun, there can be no plant life; without plant life, animal life cannot survive and He Jesus is the Sun of Righteousness. So, every statement of scripture is eternal in nature, history keeps repeating itself.
Yesterday, the Lord was humourously talking to me, when you hear people say, “I know it will happen”, you don’t do something, nothing happens.
“I know someday. There is no way, it will happen. I know” – it will not happen without you doing what the Word says. It’s a statement of ignorance.
“No matter what they say, I know I will prosper, It may take time” – You’ll never prosper until you become a giver.
There is no someday, it’s not going to happen.
“It will happen someday, I know” – It’s a statement of ignorance.
You want a change, do what He says that will provoke the change you want. You don’t do it, you won’t see it. There is ‘no someday oh’
“I know someday I will be saved” – You won’t be saved forever until you repent.
There is no someday there.
Prayer: Jesus, you have shown me what to do, to engage in my quest to see souls saved. Jesus en-graced me to do what to do, to see the change that I want. En-graced to be committed to doing what I must have to do from your Word to see your Word come to pass. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
Say with me: “I know it will happen someday” is a statement of ignorance.
I’ve been flying around all my life: commercial, private, chartered but ‘someday’ has not come for me to become a pilot.
There are many people here who have been flying for the past 30, 40 years. They are not even Air Hostess yet, so when will they become Pilots.
‘Someday’ won’t come until you go to train and pass; not just you go. You must go, train and pass.
“I know someday: David, you will become a surgeon someday” – you can become a Biblical Surgeon but a Surgeon that cuts human beings? No
You will have to write JAMB, then be admitted to the school of adults where they admit adults from 40 years and above. Before you do your house job, you are already 50. By the time, they are trying to consider you, they will say you are too old to become a Surgeon.
Whatever you won’t make happen by your obedience, will never happen!!
SOUL WINNING: A HIDDEN TREASURE OF THE KINGDOM.
Our passion to see souls saved is a proof of our love for God which empowers believers to experience what eyes have not seen nor ears heard.
The word, “feed my lamb” is go after lamb; “feed my sheep”, is go after my sheep (John 21:15-16, John 10:16). So, we are out on a ‘bring in’ mandate, going out because they are ordained for eternal life. We are to bring them in, to secure their lives.
Jesus said, “there is no point getting angry”, prove that you love me by going after my sheep (John 21:17). That’s why passion for souls is what I define as a capital proof of our love for God.
That was the capital proof of the love of God for the lost souls and we can’t claim to love God without loving what He loves most (John 3:16).
That’s why every genuine passion for souls raises another living wonder in the Kingdom. Every genuine and sustained passion for souls raises living wonders in the Kingdom (1 Corinthians 2:9, John 14:21).
Our passion to see souls saved is a capital proof of our love for God which empowers us to experience what eyes have not seen nor ears heard. That’s why I know, this Commission is ordained a platform for the rise of giants, the kind the world has never known. I’m sure (of) what I am talking about. Drawing from prophetic scriptures and seeing how God is stirring the spirits of men and women, boys and girls in this Church.
A little boy said to his mother, “I need 98 flyers because I want an A in this troublesome subject.” So, he took 98 flyers and secured his A in a subject where he was struggling for survival. Straight, Secondary School boy. Amen.
That’s how a young chap, a teenager, who could not afford money to buy JAMB form, engaged in hunting for souls, praying for the cell to grow and found his way to America on scholarship. No money to buy JAMB to go to any university in Nigeria; now flew not that he swam.
Our genuine love and passion to see souls saved is what causes the giant in us to rise; what eyes have not seen nor ears heard begin to happen in our lives (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Going after the lost like in Luke 15:4-7, stirs joy in Heaven and turns you to a celebrity on the earth. You know joy is up when somebody scores a goal. So, you become a star player because there is jubilation in Heaven that you brought somebody in to the Kingdom. It is stars they clap for, not failures. That’s the Biblical proof of our genuine love for God (2 Corinthians 8:8)
“I love you”, even if you are singing it weeping, there is no proof that you love Him.
It’s not “when thou singest and weepeth, then thou loveth me”
“Do you love me Peter”
He said: I do
Jesus: Go after my lamb, to prove it
You love me, I do: Go after my sheep.
No one here will fail.
We go hunting for those ordained for eternal life to prove our love for God (John 10:16, Acts 13:48).
That’s why soul winning is the pathway to the enthronement of believers.
Soul winning enthrones believers (Proverbs 11:30, Proverbs 8:15-16, Daniel 12:3).
Serving God and the interest of His Kingdom enthrones believers (Luke 19:17-19).
That’s why I know, many Kingdom kings will rise in this Commission: that includes You, that includes all our online worshippers who care to go outside the gate bearing His reproach (Hebrews 13:13).
Soul winning empowers believers to operate in divine wisdom which engenders supernatural exploits. When you are on the go for Jesus, He said, “lo, I am with you always” (Matthew 28:19-20).
He that walks with the wise shall be wise, so going after souls is walking with Jesus. Walking with Jesus ‘en-wisens’ (Proverbs 13:20, Jude 1:25).
You are walking with the only wise God, that means, His Wisdom has no comparison, it’s not wise, wiser, wisest. No.
When they talk about wisdom, He is in His class, He is not in all these classes. He said all your wisdom is foolishness when put beside my Wisdom.
You have not seen anything, humans like angels will start operating on the earth.
Humans like angels will start operating in Nigeria.
Humans like angels!
You know there is no contractor named with Faith Tabernacle, we only had suppliers. Pastors built it.
You haven’t seen nothing. When these ‘Heavenly Wisdom’ giants begin to manifest, you are going to see something. That light will just come and something will erupt that will impact on nations from ordinary people like you and I.
Soul winning empowers believers to operate in supernatural wisdom that has no comparison; breakthroughs are at the command of wisdom (Matthew 13:54, Proverbs 3;19, Psalm 104:24).
Do you know that R.G LeTourneau, the French man, road side mechanic, designed a digger, the first major earth moving equipment on this earth, by God appearing to him in the night and showing him what to connect. He was a Matthew 6:33 addict. In fact he told them that they should inscribe on his tomb, ‘here lies a man, Matthew 6:33 made’.
When God tells you what to connect, it will work. That’s why I said, the world has not seen yet ohh, all this classroom things, they are limited:
‘2y + y + this = this’
‘everything this long ——- = 0’
‘All of the double decker, triple decker formula = 0’: I am sorry but that is what it is, it is equal to Zero, when compared with the wisdom of God.
The wisdom that suspended the earth and created the thousands of galaxies; they have not jammed up till now.
The Sun has not said, “I am tired, I need to rest.” The Sun is still shining. It hasn’t lost its brightness, it hasn’t lost its potency to generate food for plants. Awesome God.
The whole creation has its foundation in the wisdom and discretion of Heaven (Jeremiah 10:12). The world is still trying to find out how many things we have, they have not found it (Romans 11:33).
That’s one of the things we enjoy, going after souls, you are walking with Jesus and He keeps you wiser by the day.
Last Sunday, this Church planted 233 Churches. Got that update yesterday from our Mission office. 233!
Anybody ganging up to stop the Church is stopping his life, the Word says so.
Until you can stop the Sun: you stop the Sun, you stop your life.
No plant life, no animal life. No animal life, no human life.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:2). You stop the Sun, the nations will die of plague and disease. (The nations) will die like chickens, will die like cockroach.
Heaven’s wisdom agents are about to be released. People whose business will command global attention will begin to be released.
People who know what to do under all conditions, the right thing to do under all conditions will soon begin to rise.
Now, let me tell you this: there is no technical wisdom under the sun that can build Faith Tabernacle in one year. Sir, if you have 10 Billion dollars, you can’t do it. In one year? Solid, it’s a bonker. That’s how God will be springing surprises in everyone’s life in a manner that people will know that this can only be God. All by doing this ordinary thing: pursuing after souls and by pursuing after souls, you will get wiser by the day! Isn’t God awesome?
Lift up your two hands everybody and ask God for grace to keep building the validity of your love for Him through undying passion for souls.
We have less than 2 weeks to go, so ask God for wisdom, to help you to tap into wisdom from Him that will keep you going under all conditions. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.
The day is declared your day, it’s a day the Lord has made. You shall rejoice and be glad in it.
Sorrow is not permitted in your life.
Depression is not allowed in your life.
God’s agenda will come through supernaturally in your life.
For everyone engaging, these treasures that God is unveiling to us in this Covenant Hour of Prayer Exhortation line will keep manifesting in your life, in Jesus name.
