Unveiling the Triggers for Success! By David Oyedepo

Unveiling the Triggers for Success! By David Oyedepo

Welcome to the last teaching for the month! I hope you were blessed by the teaching of last week. Today, we shall focus on: Unveiling the Triggers for Success!

From scriptures, we discover that God has made a master plan of success for us in all aspects of life (Joshua1:8). That is, it is His divine will for us to be successful in life. He is interested in the ultimate realisation of our success. However, it is sad that most Christians have not come to the knowledge of this truth. They see themselves as never-do-well and good-for nothing. They therefore yield to the oppressive lies of the devil and the world that they should not and cannot make it here on earth. Therefore, it is important to know that success is not a gift but a choice. While it is the birthright of all saints, the individual’s choice determines his/her portion. So, our choice to succeed generates in us the force to succeed.

However, success cannot be achieved in isolation. There are triggers which will land us right into it.

What then, are the Triggers for Success?

Opportunity: There are two closely related words –opportune and fortune. The dictionary defines ‘opportune’ to mean happening at the time that is most convenient for someone or most likely to lead to success. ‘Fortune’ or ‘good fortune’ is defined as good luck, success or good experiences. Therefore, I define a fortunate person as an ‘oppor-tunate’ person. That is, he is smart enough to grab a productive idea and put it to work; he is smart enough to know what will work and how to make it work. As it is written: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7, see also 20:6). Opportunity therefore is a discovered avenue for profiting. It is locating what will work and making it to work. Many people miss opportunity because it is dressed in overalls and it looks like work. There are ways of locating and utilising opportunities.

– By a search.

– By creating opportunities.

– By catching opportunities.

Engaging the Unlimited Power of Faith for Settlement! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Engaging the Unlimited Power of Faith for Settlement! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to April! I have no doubt that God gave every one of us diverse eye-opening encounters with His Word all through the month of March, 2019 and I believe that these encounters will remain lifetime assets for every one of us, in Jesus’ name! All through this month, we shall explore the subject of faith, the supernatural force which guarantees our victory over sicknesses, diseases, poverty and wickedness. Therefore, get set for an impartation of the Spirit of faith via the teachings of the month. This week, we shall examine: Engaging the Unlimited Power of Faith for Settlement!

We understand from Scriptures that our settlement as believers is crucial to God. That’s why the Bible says: But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you (1Peter 5:10). Every prophetic word from God is designed for fulfilment. As it is written: And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord (Luke 1:45). This is because prophecies are not psychological predictions, but the unveiling of divine plans. We must understand that God speaks according to His resources and not our scarcity. He speaks according to His integrity and not our fallibility. He also speaks according to His size and His unlimited capacity to make it happen (Isaiah 55:11; Numbers 23:19; Deuteronomy 18:22; Haggai 2:8; Psalm 50:9-11). In addition, it is important to know that only God’s hand can perform whatever He says. However, without our faith, we cannot take delivery. It is written: The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand (Isaiah 14:24).

What, Then, is Faith?

The Supremacy of Faith! By Bishop David Oyedepo

The Supremacy of Faith! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to another impactful week! I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. This week, we shall focus on: The Supremacy of Faith!

From scriptures, we discover that we engage in faith to tap into divine virtues, which in turn enhance our value. The Bible says: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report (Hebrews 11:1-2). Also, our vision can never deliver beyond the level of faith we are operating in. Hence, the beauty and colour of every vision is a function of the quality of faith that is employed. Therefore, without faith, our vision has no substance because it is faith that defines the substance of our vision. Every act of God in our lives is only realisable via faith and as long as our faith is on fire, we remain on flight and also in command of things happening around us. Thus, it is to us according to our faith, not according to our vision (Matthew 9:29). So, if our faith is down, our life and destiny will be down.

What, Then, is the Supremacy of Faith?

1. Faith Engages the Word for Performance: It engages the Word of God in order to enforce the delivery of our destiny and desires. The Bible records about Mary: …Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her (Luke 1:38).Sometimes, it may not be convenient for us but if it is commanded, we must engage in it because that’s the only way to where we are going and it is what determines the happenings in our lives. That is what makes faith a vital force that gets the job done. As long as our faith is in place, we remain in command over the issues of life.

Exploring the wonders of Godliness! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Exploring the wonders of Godliness! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to another exciting week! I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Exploring the Wonders of Godliness!

According to the scriptures, we can only become what we believe. As it is written, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). It is important to know that whatever God says is established in heaven to be manifested on the earth. If He says Be ye holy for I am holy.

That means He has made available the provisions for our empowerment to live a holy life. So we must believe that we can become holy because holiness is attainable by faith. Godliness is a value-adding virtue. It impacts positively on every area of our lives. Everything that works in the Kingdom has godliness at its root (Acts 20:32). It takes sanctification to access our inheritance. By the act of resurrection, sin has no more dominion over us. We, therefore, have the legal right to stand against sin (Romans 6:14; Colossians 2:15).

Also, it is important we recognise that sin is a mystery and its ultimate goal is to distract us from God’s way, so we can miss the best of life (2 Thessalonians 2:7). However, godliness is a greater mystery (1Timothy 3:16). By inference, the greater mystery of godliness will always swallow up the mystery of iniquity. So we need an understanding of the mystery of godliness to dominate the forces responsible for sin and unrighteousness.

Nature of Sin
Sin is demonic: Behind every deadly habit is demonic forces. Satan provoked David to break God’s law by numbering Israel (1 Chronicles 21:1; see also 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 1 Timothy2:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7). In Luke 22:3, satan was behind the betrayal process. He masterminded the act and after the deal, Judas’ eyes were open. He couldn’t see until the deed was done.

Understanding The Virtues Of Praise! By David Oyedepo

Understanding The Virtues Of Praise! By David Oyedepo

WELCOME to another exciting week! I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Understanding The Virtues Of Praise!

We understand from scriptures that praise is appreciating God for His Person. That is, we just appreciate and worship Him for who He is. Our high rating of God causes His praise to flow from us. As it is written, Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely (Psalm 147:1). God is excited and motivated by praise. We can get God cheaply with praise. For instance, David the man after God’s heart became God’s darling by praise. God’s heart was always with him. The whole of Saul’s army could not handle him! If we want to see God back us up, then, we should live a life of endless praise. Also, praise will launch us into a life of endless miracles; which will stop us from sweating to start winning in the race of life.

I want us to know that praise is a God given weapon in our hands with which to humiliate the devil. It is God’s medicine against the enemy. Every time we obey the law of praise, we silence our adversaries. Everyone who lives in praise carries authority with him because he has the backing of heaven. For instance, in 1 Samuel 17:50, we saw how David the praise giant, defeated goliath effortlessly because he had the backing of heaven. This shows that praise is the path of life; the winning ticket anytime. With the anointing of praise upon our lives, we become an all-round winner in the battles of life.

Engaging the Mystery of Tithing for Financial Fortune! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Engaging the Mystery of Tithing for Financial Fortune! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to another exciting week. I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Engaging the Mystery of Tithing for Financial Fortune!

From scriptures, we understand that God’s prosperity plan is a covenant, not a promise; that is, we cannot fast or pray our way into it. There is a part we must play before we can commit God to do His part. Therefore, until our part of the covenant is fulfilled, we cannot commit God to bless us. As it is written, But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day (Deuteronomy 8:18). From the above scripture, God has a covenant in place that empowers us into realms of financial fortune. It is not the doctrine of a church but His covenant.

Engaging Divine Vengeance for Supernatural Turnarounds! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to the concluding part of this teaching! I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Engaging Divine Vengeance for Supernatural Turnarounds!

We discover from scriptures that we are in the season of God’s vengeance. Therefore, it is important to recognise that no one can maximise this season without a revelation of divine vengeance. Until God visits our adversaries with vengeance, the devil may not let us go. We must understand that we serve a God of vengeance.

Welcome to July! I believe everyone of us must have been baptised into the grace to see God’s plan and purpose come through in our lives as individuals, through the diverse teachings and impartation of grace all through the month of June, 2019 and because whatever the Lord does shall be forever, my prayer is that everyone’s encounter shall continue to speak all through the days of our lives in Jesus’ name! Amen! Today, we shall focus on: Wisdom Gateways to Financial Fortune!

Exploring Divine Direction through Vision! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Exploring Divine Direction through Vision! By Bishop David Oyedepo

WELCOME to the concluding part of this teaching. I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Exploring Divine Direction Through Vision!

From scriptures, we discover that we owe ourselves the responsibility of ascertaining the genuineness of our vision before launching out in its pursuit. The question on our mind should be ‘how does one determine a genuine vision?’ Let us see what the prophet Habakkuk has to say: I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (Habakkuk 2:1-3). One major characteristic of a genuine vision is that, it has its source in God. It is God’s revealed plan and has to be traceable to Him. Any vision that does not have its source in God leads to destruction. It might flourish for a while but certain destruction is inevitable. For instance, Absalom, the son of David, had a desire. He wanted so much to be king that he could not even wait for his father to die. His comportment and appearance gained the people’s approval. Being pushed on by his own selfish vision and the people’s, he declared himself king.

Running with the Vision! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Running with the Vision! By Bishop David Oyedepo

WELCOME to another impactful week. I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Running with the Vision!

From scriptures, we understand that we do not sleep with vision, we run with it. It is written: I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (Habakkuk 2:1-3).It is the pursuit of vision that gives value to divine purpose. Many of us have an understanding of God’s plan for our lives but we have difficulties when it comes to fulfilling it. Knowing where we are going is just the beginning of the journey because without motion, we will never get to our destination.

Unveiling our Redemptive Rights in Christ! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Unveiling our Redemptive Rights in Christ! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to another exciting week. I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Unveiling Our Redemptive Rights in Christ!

More often than not, we ask what is God’s plan and purpose for our lives as contained in His Book. It’s so simple for us to just come to understand that we don’t need an intermediary to access God’s plan. The veil was torn in twain when Jesus gave up the ghost providing free access to everyone into the things behind the veil. The Bible records: Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many (Matthew 27:50-53).So, His Word is in command of all the affairs of our lives including His plan and purpose(Isaiah 14:24). Thus, applying the Word of God to our lives is what makes us wise and put us in command of mighty works.

What, then, Has Redemption Made of Me?

Understanding the Master Key to a World of Exploits! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Understanding the Master Key to a World of Exploits! By Bishop David Oyedepo

Welcome to another impactful week of enviable testimonies and liftings! This week, we shall focus on the topic: Understanding the Master Key to a World of Exploits!

First, we must recognise that by redemption, every child of God is ordained for exploits, not just ordinary exploits, but supernatural exploits after the order of Christ and even more. As it is written: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12). That means anyone who believes in Him is ordained for greater works than Christ. This is not being ambitious or over-ambitious, but it is our heritage in Christ Jesus. This is why commanding unusual exploits should not be strange to us as it is not reserved just for the privileged; it is our birthright in redemption (Acts 10:34).

What is Exploit?

As recorded in scripture, exploit is all about accomplishing things that eyes have not seen, that ears have not heard and that have not entered into the hearts of men (1Corinthians 2:9). It means global relevance and impact after the order of Isaac. For instance, in Genesis 26:12-14, we saw that Isaac was in a foreign land; yet, he went forward, waxed strong, became very great and as such, the Philistines envied him. In other words, he became the envy of the people among whom he was a stranger. This shows that, we, as the brethren of Isaac, are equally destined for exploits and accomplishments of outstanding feats. We must get done things that eyes have not seen, that ears have not heard, and that have not entered the hearts of men. That’s what exploit is all about. However, like I have always said, it’s one thing to have the key to a door and another to use it to gain access. Nothing guarantees access like having the key to a door we desire to access and using it. When we have the key, we have dominion over the door. Exploit is God’s agenda for the redeemed but if we don’t have the key, supernatural exploit is not in view.

Prayer and Fasting Empowers Fulfillment of Prophecy! By David Oyedepo

Prayer and Fasting Empowers Fulfillment of Prophecy! By David Oyedepo

Welcome to another impactful week! I hope you were blessed by the last teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Prayer and Fasting Empowers Fulfillment of Prophecy!

    From scriptures, we understand that prayer and fasting is a business for high level profiting but if we don’t know how to maximise it, we will get nothing out of it. So, it is not just listing our prayer items, it is aligning the prayer items with the will of God. It is written: And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business (Luke 2:49). So, it is business engaging in Word practice because it is for our profiting (2 Timothy 3:16). Thus, it is important for us to carry a business perspective of our walk with God as it will help us to be more productive in our engagement. Remember, not every prayer prayed is answered. To secure our answers on the prayer altar, we must pray according to His will. His will connotes His Word, so we pray according to His Word regarding the issues we are presenting. The Bible says: Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob (Isaiah 41:21). Strong reasons will come out of strong searches.

  Also, as great as these prophetic words are, we have to clear the oppositions resisting the fulfillment of prophecies. This is because every great door suffers great resistances. And if we don’t clear the resistances, we will just be singing them as a song; it will never come to reality. It will just be a slogan and that is why we are up in prayer and fasting to clear oppositions off our possessions, so we can realise them (1 Corinthians 16:9). So, there is no form of resistance that can spite the authority of the combined forces of faith, prayer and fasting.

Why Then Do We Pray and Fast?

Unveiling the Rewards of Righteousness! By David Oyedepo

Unveiling the Rewards of Righteousness! By David Oyedepo

Welcome to your week of favour ! I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. As we conclude this month, we shall focus on: Unveiling the Rewards of Righteousness!

We discover from scriptures that sin brings curses while righteousness brings blessings. For it is written: Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34; see also Psalm 112:1-3). Everywhere we see God’s blessings, righteousness is in place. While the wages of sin is death, the wages of righteousness is life more abundant. There is a lot more pleasure in righteousness than there is in sin. Also, we understand that persecutions bring promotions. Those who mind men naturally miss God. If I had minded men, I would have missed God long ago. When we are persecuted for righteousness, it provokes God for our promotions. For instance, when Joseph was persecuted for purity, God found a place for him in the palace. Every persecution for righteousness equals exaltation from heaven(2 Corinthians 6:17-18). Every persecution against our righteousness is announcing our promotion. Furthermore, persecution does not kill; it is ignorance that kills. Rejoice at persecutions because every greatness from heaven is welcomed on earth by persecutions. For example, when Moses was born, he was born into the midst of persecutions. Likewise our Lord Jesus Christ, when He arrive persecution was waiting. The persecutions of life are a reality but our power over them is also a reality. What is the sole aim of persecutions? To stop the persecuted from attaining his/her goal!

What are the Rewards of Righteousness?

Topic: Engaging the Power of Sanctification for Fulfilment of Destiny!

   Happy New Year! I believe 2018 was indeed a New Dawn year for you and your family? My prayer is that 2019 shall be your year of Dominion in all areas of life in Jesus’ name! To start with, this week, we shall examine the topic: Engaging the Power of Sanctification for Fulfilment of Destiny!

   From scriptures, we understand that every child of God is ordained a global and mountaintop citizen. As it is written: And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29; see also Matthew 5:14; Deuteronomy 28:1; Genesis 28:14). That means we are ordained to bless and not to be a burden to our world. However, to fulfil that glorious, colourful and enviable destiny, certain things must be in place. Among these is sanctification; which is living to please God.
