==================
I
am not a member of the Living Faith Church nor am I a fan of
Bishop Oyedepo who I revere and who I was taken to for prayers when I
was
virtually losing my left eyesight due to post surgery
chemotherapy/physiotherapy/radiotherapy treatment for a brain cancer
affliction
between 2004 and 2006. But if you want to be illuminated about what the
Church and its leadership in Nigeria should be focused on now for the
future, get a copy of Bishop Oyedepo Shiloh 2014 message on Prayer
delivered mid-morning yesterday.
Yesterday, I was opportune to be a partaker online, Bishop
Oyedepo's pre-noon message on prayers during the ongoing Shiloh 2014. Bishop
Oyedepo began by asking for the experience of the congregation during the
compulsory one hour prayer the previous day which featured for the first time
at the annual Shiloh meeting. He confessed that Living Faith started on a
foundation of prayers which no longer featured. He testified of how he boldly physically
carried out physical prayer walk through the former forest that is now Living
Faith Tabernacle before delivering spirit-filled powerful expositions
on
i.
The coming Global prayer revival
ii.
The place of prayers in the divine end-time agenda Zechariah
8:20-22
iii.
A mighty prayer movement from Shiloh 2014
iv.
Need for a prayer full life
v.
Fresh endeavors seeking for the spirit of grace and supplications
Zechariah 12:10/ John 6:63
vi.
Spirit of obedience to calls for prayer Mathew 6:5,16, 17; Ezekiel
36:27
vii.
Self-discipline in mandatory prayer and fasting 1 Corinthians 9:27
and 6:12
viii.
Prayer and fasting as a ministry call and ordainment for
empowerment Isaiah 58:6 and Psalm 63:1-6
ix.
Hindrances to prayers/prayer infirmities. Romans 8:26.
x.
Call on listeners worldwide to move from prayer distress into
reality of groaning in prayers to be enlisted in the end-time armies of emerging
giants in prayers and warfare.
xi.
Need for repentance and seeking forgiveness.
xii.
Awesome exposition on 1 John 1:8-10, calling for Christians to move
from the state of revelation to the lifestyle of illumination
Bishop Oyedepo as a chosen and called Man of God then declared and
decreed judgment on Boko Haram, their sponsors and supporters to bring the
activities to an end
He declared that (the praying) church will be dreaded all over the
world as we enter to the days of a prayer movement the world has never experienced
that will take over kingdoms for God and emergence of Army of saviors Joel 3:1,18;
Obadiah 1:17-21 and rounded up that Psalm 87:5(-6) will be the testimony of the
end-time Church.
If Church/Ministry Founders, General Overseers, Prayer Ministry Leaders,
Set Men, Apostles, Archbishops, Bishops, Prophets and other Church Leaders in
Nigeria imbibe and promote the prayer (and discipleship) revival spirit espoused
by the revered Bishop Oyedepo above, Nigeria will fulfill her divine agenda; despite,
in spite and instead of the Boko Harams and Islamic agenda. Amen
Jeremiah 1:12: Then said the LORD unto me, Thou
hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
