Teaching Series: Unlocking the Supernatural (Pt. 2A)
Speaker: Bishop David Oyedepo
Your depth in the Word determines your level of commanding signs.
Revelation is about hearing, saying and showing what God is saying.
Isa 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
A revelation of the truth is not just hearing what the Word says but understanding what it says as it applies to you as an individual.
Acts 8:30-37 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
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.
Until you have an understanding of the Word, the Word itself cannot impact your life.
The Word of life is what you hear, what you see and what you can handle.
You command dominion by hearing and seeing.
Luke 24:30-31 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
The brighter you see, the stronger your faith and the higher your level of command.
The mysteries of the Kingdom are things to see.
The brighter you see, the higher your level of faith will be, and this determine how fast your testimony is delivered.
You cannot comprehend by just hearing; you need to move from hearing to seeing the light of the Scriptures.
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Nothing destroys doubt more than seeing what God is showing you from the Word of Life.
It is not just knowing who you are in Christ that matters but understanding who you are in Christ.
When you are in the Kingdom of light, you are in the kingdom of peace and joy unspeakable.
Your citizenship has changed; you are now a member of the household of God.
Who Are You in Christ?
- By redemption, you are seated in Heavenly places, far above all principalities and powers.
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
- You have been translated from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light.
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Matt 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- You are redeemed to be an overcomer.
1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
2Cor 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Unlocking the Supernatural by the Power of Faith.
– When your faith comes alive, God’s hand is stretched forth to do only what He can do.
– Any faith that keeps you seated is fake. Every true faith sets you in motion.
– Your level of command in the supernatural is determined by your level of faith.
– It is by the word of your mouth that you command the supernatural.
– Words are seeds and what you say matters a lot. God does not know jokes; be mindful of what you say.
Covenant Day of Favour Ministration
– A day of favour is worth a hundred years of labour.
Exod 12:36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
Exod 4:22-23 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
– You don’t wait for favour; it has to be entreated or provoked.
Ps 45:12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
Prov 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
– Favour is triggered by engaging the covenant terms to trigger it.
Covenant steps to Trigger the Favour of God.
- Be born again and remain so.
Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Ps 5:12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
– New birth is a trigger of the covenant of favour.
- Maintain a heart that pants after God. –
Ps 102:13-15 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
– When you maintain God’s righteous cause, He takes pleasure in favouring you.
- Stay in love with God.
Rom 8:28 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.
1Sam 13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.
– Staying in love with God entitles you to a continuous flow of favour. You can’t be in love with God and run out of favour.
- Walk in obedience to God’s instructions to unleash divine favour on your life.
Deut 28:1-12 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
– Obedience will always trigger high favour.
Phil 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
