DIVINE VISITATION – Going After The Harvest In Love – John 14:21

The devil is not the winner; you are! He is not a conqueror; you are more than a conqueror. Your lot with God is victory always. He causes you to triumph always on the basis of the finished work of Christ on the cross. That is your touchstone for victory. It was there that Jesus did it all.


Going After The Harvest In Love – There is no doubt that every born again believer, is an ordained soul hunter (John 15:16). If you are a true follower of Christ, then you will follow HIS commandments. In the Book of John 14:21, the LORD JESUS makes a promise to those of HIS followers, who will obey HIM. HE says:


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.


The message of the above scripture, is very clear. It says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (paraphrased).


Now, let’s look at one of the many commandments that the LORD has given HIS disciples, HIS lovers. It is found in John 15:16. Here the LORD says:


Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.


To go after souls for Christ, means obeying a commandment of the LORD. However, to be effective in this endeavour, to the point of fruit-bearing, which is coupled with your fruits abiding in the vineyard of the LORD, your efforts and your strategies have to be borne on the bedrock of LOVE (1 Cor. 13:1-4/8). 


Be determined today, as you pray in souls for Christ, and as you go out for souls for Christ, to be totally immersed in the LOVE of GOD. And in so doing, it will be evident to you that the devil is not the winner, but you are!


Pray this prayer today:


Father, in the name of JESUS:
Stir up my spirit to go after the lost in LOVE;
Stir up my spirit to go after the lost as a life-style;
Stir up my spirit to go after the well-being of the saints – Matthew 22:37-39

BOOK PREVIEW: BORN TO WIN - BY DAVID O. OYEDEPO

IDENTIFYING YOUR ENEMY 

The Bible has made it clear and obvious that your enemy is the devil. Many people find it difficult to believe this. Their minds have been so programmed to believing that some people are responsible for their problems. The point is, the devil will want to keep you from identifying him as your enemy, because he knows that the moment you identify your enemy, the battle is almost as good as won. He keeps blinding people to this fact. But
know assuredly that the devil is your adversary.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 ...

It does not matter what fight it is. God is not your enemy. If you are born again, God is your Father. The devil is the enemy. He is your accuser before God. He has sworn that nothing will go well with you. This is where the fight is. He does not want to see you progress. He wants to ruin your business. He is always mounting pressure on you, to keep you away from God. He is not interested in any good thing coming your way. His thoughts towards you are completely evil...

If you look closely at Ephesians 6:12,you will notice a few remarkable things.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Ephesians 6:12

It says we wrestle not against flesh and blood! Not human beings either. They are not your enemies. The devil has used this particular lie to disorganize and disintegrate homes and families. It is the devil at work....

Stop looking at human beings as your problem. God has not called you into a physical fight, but to a fight of faith.
 
Please get hold of this truth. It will change your whole outlook, and you will be able to channel your spiritual energy in the right direction.

UNLOCKING THE SUPERNATURAL - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

New birth is a birth into the supernatural realm!

You are born-again to live the supernatural life!
The Bible says, that 'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but you can't not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth .. so is every one that is born of the Spirit'.

You are born-again to live an inexplanable life, an indescribable life, a life that cannot be censored by human senses - That is GOD's intention, that is GOD's plan!

The Bible says, 'For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease'
So, the war against your destiny must cease today!

The war against your destiny must cease today!
The war against your life, must be won today!

We serve a wonder-working GOD and because 'like begets like', so, we are a wonder-working sons and daughters of GOD!

Every child of GOD is living wonder!
Every child of GOD is living wonder! - John 3:8

No wonder  He said, 'I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion' - Isaiah 8:18

WINNERS' CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL YOUTH ALIVE CONFERENCE 2014 - A CHOSEN GENERATION - 17TH APRIL TO 21ST APRIL, 2014

YOUTH ALIVE CONFERENCE 2014

History of Youth Alive Conference and Youth Conference 2014

The term youth Alive draws a lot of anticipation among not just the youths in this region but anyone that has had an experience of attending a session of it. The conference takes place every Easter season when students and other youth could take a retreat from their parents and guardians, away from their homes, to be in the presence of God, and to nourish themselves spiritually under the anointing covering this Commission. This experience is also realized through specialized teachings of the Word of Faith for the leaders of tomorrow during this retreat. What an opportunity these youth back to their various homes after the youth conference imparted, impacted and as sound ambassadors of the kingdom.

God spoke to his servant Bishop David O. Oyedepo on May 2nd 1981 and said, " The hour has come to liberate the world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the Word of faith and I am sending you to undertake this task." 

We are so glad that among the people to be liberated in the mandate were the youths. In pursuit of this mandate God’s servant put in place a youth gathering tagged the Youth Alive Conference whose main purpose is to rescue all youths from purposelessness, failure, frustration and destiny damage.

This great commission has never known a better yesterday, watch out for the Youth Alive Conference 2014 as you make preparations to attend.

In 1 Peter 2:9, the Bible says,

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

That one belongs to a royal priesthood, an holy nation, and a peculiar people, is common knowledge these days. However, knowing how to live or manifest royalty, holiness and exhibit peculiarity is what revelation brings to into the live of every believer.

This year’s conference has been themed, 

A CHOSEN GENERATION – 1 Peter 2:9

The Youth Alive Conference 2014 is taking place at all Winner Chapel International regional headquarters world-wide, from 17TH APRIL TO 21ST APRIL, 2014. And so don’t miss it for anything!

Exceeding Grace, and the God of Winners’ truly bless you.

WHAT IS SALVATION? HOW TO BE LED TO BE BORN-AGAIN - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Everyone who is not born-again, this is your chance.

If you are not saved, you are not safe!

SALVATION is the security of your destiny!

"Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith." (1 John 5:4)

Now pray this prayer of faith after me:

Lord Jesus, I accept You today, as my Lord, and my Saviour.

Forgive me my sins, wash me with your blood.

I believe, You died for me.

On the third day, You rose again that I might be justified.

Right now

I believe

I am forgiven

I am justified

I am saved

I am born again

I am a child of God

I am free from the power of sin, to serve the living God.

Thank You Lord, for saving me.

Amen.

Now,

You are blessed of the Lord, who has made the Heaven and the earth.

I cover you today by the blood of Jesus!

The arrows of the wicked shall no longer be able to strike at you!

Your destiny is preserved by the blood of the Lamb!

You will run this race successfully to the end, in the Name of Jesus!

Thank You Father, in Jesus' precious Name!
