Exploring Success Virtues in Kingdom Stewardship. Prt 1

Ministering: Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Serving God is a platform for accessing divine presence. God’s presence is guaranteed for everyone on His mission. – Luke 10:1 – After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Success is not an ambition, it is your birthright in redemption. God’s presence brings men into fame and makes them high flyers. – Ps. 16:11 – Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Everyone carrying God’s presence enjoys supernatural breakthroughs in all their endeavours. Your choice to serve God brings you in favour with Him. Generational blessings trail the lineage of those who train their children in the way of the Lord. –

Gen. 18:17-19 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

Your choice today is what determines your lot tomorrow.

Virtues we Connect with Through Kingdom Stewardship

1. His presence carries the supernatural waves of heaven around believers. – Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

2. Serving God is the covenant access to the grace of God that makes great. – 1 Peter 5:10 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.

Covenant Day of Business and Career Breakthrough Ministration

– In these last days, supernatural breakthroughs shall be the core identity of every child of God.

– Ps. 110:1-3 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Keys to Commanding Supernatural Breakthroughs

1. Be born again. – Eph. 2:18-19 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

– God’s family is a breakthrough family and it is new birth that makes you a part of that family.

– You get enlisted into the breakthrough family through salvation.

2. Commit to seeking first the kingdom of God. – Matt. 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

– You never see the way forward by leaving God behind. Let Him be before you always.

3. Be committed to the covenant of tithing. – Pro. 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

– Tithing is a mystery that causes your labour to be fruitful.

4. Be committed to kingdom advancement sacrifices as prompted by the Holy Spirit.

– Hag. 1:3-13 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.

10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.

11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.

13 Then spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.

– Tithing and kingdom sacrifices are two ways to keep your heavens open.

5. Keep engaging in kingdom advancement endeavours with joy and rejoicing.

– Deut. 28:47-48 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

6. Engage with joy in your business pursuits. – Hab. 3:17-19 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

1 Cor. 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

– God always intervenes in the midst of joy; His breakthrough power is manifested when there is joy.

7. Believe in prophetic blessings proclaimed upon you.
