Teaching Series: Praise Facilitates the Fulfillment of Prophecies (Part 2A)
Ministering: Bishop David Oyedepo
The level of light that you engage with determines the level of profit you will make.
– Isa. 60:1-3; Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Whatever requires skill requires training and instructions.
God’s blessings through His prophets are domiciled in the Church
– Ps. 65:4; Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
Zion is God’s domiciled place for the showers of blessings.
– Ps. 87:1-7; (A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.) His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
God’s prophetic bank is the Bible and God speaks to the fate of every believer through the scriptures. – Isa 29:11; And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
Prophetic scriptures can make stars out of anyone who understands how to engage with them.]
Maintain a quality walk with God.
– Gen. 17:1-2; And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Prophetic scriptures are the most reliable forms of prophecies when received, believed, and engaged with.
Instead of praying and fasting for prophecies to be fulfilled, keep pursuing after God.
Anything God tells you to do is the wisest thing to do.
When God says you should praise Him, praise Him!
Receive the Word, believe the Word and keep walking with the Lord
Walk with God and you will see prophecies coming to pass in your life.
– John 8:29; And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Salvation is your escape from the realm of shame and reproach.
A change of story in the Kingdom usually follows a sudden trend.
Prophetic Lifelines of the Redeemed in Scriptures
1. Every child of God is redeemed for a glorious destiny
– Rom. 8:28-29; And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
A glorious destiny demands that you stay committed to kingdom advancement endeavours.
– Pro. 3:35; The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Prov. 11:30; The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
2. Every child of God is redeemed to operate in divine wisdom
– Matt. 13:54; And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
– Wisdom is a builder not a breaker.
– Pro. 24:3-4; Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
– Wisdom stabilizes destiny.
– Isa. 33:6; And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Pro. 9:16; Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
– Wisdom enthrones.
– Pro. 8:16; By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
Rev. 5:10; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
3. Every child of God is redeemed to enjoy health and wholeness
– Matt. 8:17; That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
– It takes strength to do exploits because doing exploits is exploitative. Ageing has no medication; the only medication it responds to is wisdom.
Don’t live on residual knowledge; learn to ask God questions regularly. Sickness is not part of your package in redemption in Christ; it is illegal in your life.
– Matt. 8:17; That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Characteristics of Prophetic Words
1. Prophetic words impart confidence in God.
– Heb. 10:35; Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
2. Prophetic words allay all fears.
– Rom. 4:19; And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
ALTAR CALL
God has a gorgeous plan for you but you step into it first by giving your life to Christ. For you to experience God now and in eternity, being born again is the starting point; it is a requirement for your praise to be acceptable because only the living can praise God.
Until you are saved, you are spiritually dead but when you are born again, you become a new creature and until you are justified, you cannot be glorified.
If you want to give your life to Christ and start enjoying a glorified life, lift your right hand and say this prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today, forgive me all my sins. Wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me and on the third day, you rose again to set me free from the power of sin and satan so I can serve the living God.
Today, I accept you as my Lord and Saviour and I believe my sins are forgiven. I believe I’m restored to the faith and I believe I’m now a child of God, a child of light, and darkness cannot hold me to ransom anymore.”
Thank You Jesus, Amen.
