Speaker: Bishop David Oyedepo
Introduction:
Every true move of the Holy Ghost moves cities, nations and regions. When the Holy Ghost moves, things move in the right direction. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of breakthrough. He never arrives unnoticed. When He steps in, things keep turning in the right direction.
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
“To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;”
“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”
“And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.” Isaiah 61:1- 4.
The breakthrough power of the Spirit opens gates that any devil cannot shut.
“Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;”
“I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:”
“And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Isaiah 45:1-3.
The Holy Spirit is there all the time, never leaving you helpless!
Vital Manifestations of the Holy Spirit for Breakthroughs
1. The Holy Spirit guides you to a world of noiseless breakthroughs.
“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.” Isaiah 48:17.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of guidance. No sheep, no matter how mature, can lead itself on the right path unless it is led by a Shepherd. The Holy Spirit is our guide on the right path of life. It is the guidance ministry of the Holy Spirit that makes your adventures great on the earth. The Holy Spirit leads the way forward at all times. When God leads, things turn in the right direction.
“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”
“O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:”
“Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.”
“Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.”
“And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.” Isaiah 48:17- 21.
God leads primarily by the Holy Spirit.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14.
It takes meekness to access and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
“The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.” Psalms 25:9.
Meekness is a virtue that opens you up to continuous guidance.
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matthew 11:29.
It is never too late to be right; when God says no, make a U-turn!
You can’t find what the Holy Spirit doesn’t show.
Everybody needs the Holy Spirit for:
– Divine direction.
– For the illumination of the Word that raises a giant out of a man.
– To lead a triumphant life.
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10.
2. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of revelation that helps your spiritual understanding of the truth.
“But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23.
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.”
“Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 – 14.
Your level of understanding determines your outcome.
“And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?” Matthew 12:23.
God’s Word is for your profitable living but it is your spiritual understanding that stirs faith which engenders proofs.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1.
“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” Hebrews 4:2.
“And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” Acts 8:37.
You can’t see what is profitable and ignore it. Don’t ignore God’s Word!
3. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of love that makes believers more than conquerors.
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16.
As you grow in love you are filled with all the fullness of God to a degree. God is not faith, God is not Power, and God is love!
As your love for God increases, your divine nature content increases. When your love for God is genuine, growing and unreserved, you become more than a conqueror.
4. The Holy Spirit is the oil of joy and gladness that keeps you healthy, strong and full of exploits.
“Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3.
“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32.
Joy gives access to revelation and supernatural strength, so you can do exploits.
Believers are empowered to serve and not for show. You are empowered to serve God more and to do His bidding.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8.
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”
“To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;” Isaiah 61:1- 2.
Know the purpose of God’s empowerment and remain on key with it. Empowerment is not for show, it is for service. If you are out to serve God, He will empower you lavishly.
“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.”
“And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.” Luke 9:1 – 2.
“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.” Matthew 10:1.
Covenant Day of Marital Breakthrough Ministration
Every challenged marital destiny, such as marital delay, or marital crises, are mostly raw oppressions of the devil. Being married places you at an advantage in the battles of life.

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” Ecclesiastes 4:9.
Every child of God that so desires, has the God-given right to be settled in marriage because it is God that settles in marriage.
“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” Psalms 68:6.
Marriage is a good thing, and every good thing is your entitlement in Christ including a timely, peaceful, joyful, fruitful and settled married life.
However, faith is vital for securing your marital destiny. It is your faith that causes God to act, therefore, believe that it is your right to be married.
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6:16.
Favour is the capital return of Kingdom advancement stewardship and favour is the lot of anyone who finds a wife, therefore, you are double favoured when you are married.
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Proverbs 18:22.
“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” Psalms 68:6.
To Actualize Your Glorious Marital Destiny, you must;
1. Be born again and stay in love with God.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.
“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.” Romans 8:28.
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21.
2. Remain committed to kingdom advancement endeavours.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33.
“And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”
“There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.” Exodus 23:25 – 26.
3. Beware of pride.
“The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.” Proverbs 15:33.
“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4.
“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5.
4. Engage the power of faith.
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4.
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6:16.
“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15.
5. Make God your only source of expectation.
“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.” Psalms 62:5.
“Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.” Psalms 16:4.
“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
“For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.” James 1:6 – 7.
