THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR JANUARY 2015 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Heaven on Earth greetings to you all in Jesus’ name.


Heaven on Earth has always manifested as enumerated severally in the scriptures.
When heaven descended on earth through Moses, Egypt was subdued and the 430 years bondage of God’s people came to an end – Ex. 12:14/41-42.

The powers of the world to come was in open manifestation in their journey to the promised land.

The following testimonies of scriptures validate this fact:
-- The supernatural feeding of 3 million people with two meals a day for 40 years – Ex. 16:15/35
-- Supply of water from a moving rock for 3 million people for 40 years – 1Cor. 10:4
-- A state of no weakness, no sickness, no disease must obviously be heaven on earth – Ps. 105:37/ Rev. 21:1-14
Other testimonies of scriptures include:
-- Joshua, commanding the sun and the moon to stand still – Josh. 10:12
-- Philip, arriving at a destination on a ‘Spirit-flight’ – Acts 8:39-40


In addition, Jesus practically came to show us how heaven looks like – Jn. 14:9
-- Jesus Christ, walking on water – Matt. 14:29
-- We saw Him commanding the seas and the storms and they obeyed Him – Matt. 8:24-27
-- He called Lazarus back to life after 4 days – Jn. 11:25-44
-- He operated far above the circumstances and situations of life – Jn. 3:31

It is important to note that two Bible characters literarily manifested heaven on earth in their walk with God: Moses and Paul. These two men were men given to prayer and fasting among others.

For example:
-- Moses fasted 40 days twice – Ex. 24:18 / Ex. 34:28/ Ex. 7:1/ Num. 12:1-3
-- ? Paul, the Apostle fasted often – 2Cor. 6:5/ 2Cor. 11:27/ Acts 14:11/ Acts 19:14-15


But what is in Prayer and Fasting?
Prayer and Fasting:
-- Empowers our voice to be heard on high in prayers – Is. 58:4/9a
-- Empowers our spiritual command – Is. 58:6
-- Destroys every satanic hold – Matt. 17:21/ Is. 58:6
-- Enhances our level of anointing – Lk. 4:1-14/18/37/ Lk. 9:28-35/43
-- Empowers our access to Revelations – Is. 58:8/10/ Jer. 33:3
-- Empowers us for Supernatural Breakthroughs – Is. 58:12/14/ Gen. 32:24-28
-- Empowers our access to divine guidance – Is. 58:12/ Ezra 8:23


Moreover, for our prayer and fasting to be effectual, we must:
-- Fast in love – Is. 58:4/7/9b/10/ Gal. 5:6
-- Fast in faith – Matt. 17:20-21/ Matt. 9:29


Therefore, the prophetic Word for the month of January 2015 is:


PRAYER AND FASTING EMPOWERS FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH EXPERIENCE – Is. 58:6-14


May the fasting of this January 2015 result in multiple change of levels for everyone of us – 2Cor. 3:18.
May every Winner experience ‘wonders without end’ in terms of supernatural transformation – Lk. 9:28-35.


May we succeed to pray heaven down into our lives and situations – Matt. 6:9-10/ 1Cor. 4:20

Recommended books of the month authored by Bishop David O. Oyedepo include:
*Winning Prayers
*Satan Get Lost
*Walking in Dominion
*Born to Win
*Winning Invisible Battles
*Anointing for Breakthrough

Heaven on Earth and Wonders without end shall be the testimony of every Winner all through 2015.
See you operating in the heavenlies, you and your household.

Remain ever blessed!

Jesus is Lord!

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR DECEMBER 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding Grace greetings to you in Jesus’ name.

There is no doubt that every Winner has been thoroughly washed in the blood of Jesus, delivered by His word and sanctified by His Spirit all through the month of November. My prayer is that, godliness becomes the lifestyle of everyone of us.

Remember, godliness is not an expression but a lifestyle, as it is written: “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled” – Matt 5:6

It is also worthy of note that sicknesses and diseases are among the many consequences of sin. From the ministry of Christ, we discover a vital link between sin and sickness.

To the paralytic man that was brought down through the roof, Jesus said, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. Matt 9:2 To the man at the Pool of Bethesda that was made whole, Christ said to him, “Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.” Jn 5:14.

Apostle James also said, concerning praying for the sick, said if has committed sin, it shall be forgiven him. He went on to say, confess your faults to one another, that ye may be healed (Jam 5:16)

Furthermore, a more graphic picture of this link is painted in the book of Jeremiah chapter 30 verses 12 to 17. Here he mentioned incurable sicknesses and diseases that have no healing medicine which came upon the people,“for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased”(vs 14-15) God rose to their rescue, forgave them their sins with a vow, saying:
 “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.” – Jer 30:17

It should however be noted that not every sickness is a result of sin. Some are pure oppressions of the devil. You will recall that when Christ was asked concerning the man that was born blind; who did sin, the man or his parents? Christ responded, ‘Neither’; implying that, that man’s affliction was not a result of sin.- Jn 9:2

Remember, also that Christ went about doing good and healing all them that were oppressed of the devil. Act 10:38

The good news is that, with our sins forgiven, the consequences of sin must go, which includes every kind of sickness and disease. As it is written, “In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee”. Is 54:14

This implies that righteousness delivers from all oppressions of the devil.

In the light of all the above, every sickness and disease, whether as a result of sin or oppression of the wicked one, an end has finally come to every of your ordeal with sickness and disease this month. God is crowning your year with full restoration of health as a demonstration of His goodness. Everyone’s deliverance and full restoration of health is guaranteed at Shiloh 2014. There shall be no carry-over of any plague into the year 2015.

Therefore, the prophetic focus for December 2014 is:

I WILL RESTORE HEALTH UNTO YOU – Jer 30:17 

Recommended books of the month authored by Bishop David O. Oyedepo include:

* Keys to Divine Health
* The Healing Balm
* The Miracle Meal
* Fulfilling your days

Remain ever Blessed!

Jesus is Lord!

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR NOVEMBER 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding Grace greetings to you in Jesus’ name.
 
All through scriptures, godliness has proved to be the foundation for profitable living. This is because godliness entitles us to the following among others:
 
- Divine Protection – Ps. 125:1-3/ Job 1:1/9-10
- Divine Revelation – Ps. 25:14/ Jn. 15:14-15
- Supernatural Promotion – Gen. 39:9/ Gen. 41:38-44; Dan. 6:1-5/10-28
- Supernatural Breakthrough– Job 1:1-3/ Job 29:3-18/ Is. 51:1-3
- Divine Health – Mk. 2:1-12/ Jn. 5:1-8/14;
- Answered Prayers – Is. 59:1-2/ Ps. 66:18
- Fresh Unction – Lk. 5:37-38/ Ps. 45:6-8/ Prov. 1:23
- Supernatural Wisdom – Prov. 9:10/ Job 28:7-25
- Durable Riches – Ps. 112:1-3/ Jer. 17:11
- Eternity with Christ – 1Cor. 6:9-11/ Gal. 5:19-21 etc., etc.
 
All the above is the reason why we are constantly in a spiritual conflict(Eph. 6:10-12). Satan wants us robbed of the amazing blessings of righteousness. In fact, there is a spiritual war over the life of every believer 24 hours of everyday to mess up (Lk. 22:31/ 2Cor. 10:3-5). Therefore we must stay spiritually awake at all times because if we surrender to the spirit of slumber we shall become vulnerable to all the forces of filthiness (Matt.13:23-28/ Eph. 5:14).
 
It is also important to note that, righteousness is not just who we are in Christ but also what we do to prove who we are. This is why we are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (1Jn 3:7/ Phil. 2:12/ Matt. 7:16-21). This must also be why the war against filthiness is the fiercest war believers’ face. (Heb. 12:1-4/ Zech. 3:1-5)
 
Furthermore, we must recognize that if God said: “Be ye holy for I am Holy…”, then we can be holy. (Lev. 11:44-45/ 1Pet. 1:16)
If Christ said: “Be ye perfect as your heavenly father is perfect...”, then we can be perfect. (Matt. 5:48). God cannot tell us to be what He has not empowered us to be because His commandments are not grievous (1Jn. 5:3).

We must all rise up as individuals to confront every spirit of uncleanliness that may be arrayed against our lives, declaring in faith; Enough Is Enough!

Therefore, the prophetic focus for November 2014 is:
“GODLINESS IS PROFITABLE UNTO ALL THINGS” – 1Tim. 4:8

Moreover, I believe that this is one way to spiritually prepare ourselves to experience ‘Heaven on Earth’ indeed at Shiloh 2014.

Recommended books of the month authored by Bishop David O. Oyedepo include:
 
*Walking in the Newness of Life 
*Conquering Controlling Powers 
*The Blood Triumph



Remain ever Blessed!



Jesus is Lord!

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR OCTOBER 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding Grace greetings to you in Jesus’ name.

I have no doubt that many of us must have discovered in much clearer terms the plan and purpose of God for our lives from His Word all through the month of September. May our various encounters remain a lifelong experience with proofs in the life of every winner.

But what is the Spirit of the Lord saying for this month?
We live in the world of times and seasons – Eccl. 3:1-11
Understanding of the times will always keep God’s people in command – 1Chr. 12:32

We understand from scriptures that extraordinary exploit is God’s agenda for His people in these end times – Is. 2:1-3/ Joel 2:21-27

Furthermore, we are in the end-times which implies that we are in the era of exploits and global impact in the body of Christ – Zech. 8:20-23
We are also in the last days and under the later rain, where the redeemed of the Lord shall be empowered to start building the old wastes, raising the former desolations, repairing the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. – Is. 61:1-7 / Joel 2:21-27.
We must seize this awesome moment and strive to make the most of the season.
It’s prophetically our turn to shine and it is our time for rising.

According to biblical prophecy; all the springs of life in these end-times shall be domiciled in Zion, that is, the church – Ps. 87:7
This is why we must come awake to the demands of this great hour of opportunities thereby making the most of this season – Eph. 5:14
Therefore, the prophetic theme for the month of October 2014 is:

The Era of Exploits is Here! – Is. 2:1-3

Recommended books of the month authored by Dr. David O. Oyedepo include:
* Success Button                
* Success System               
* Maximizing Destiny            
* Exploring the secret of Success
* Success Strategies
* Ruling your World

Remain ever blessed.

Jesus is Lord!

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR SEPTEMBER 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding Grace greetings to you in Jesus’ name.

The month of August, in our midst, has been a month of strange acts and strange works indeed resulting in new levels of signs and wonders with divers testimonies of healings and  deliverances, supernatural breakthroughs in career and businesses including raising of the dead and divine interventions of all sorts. To God be all the Glory!

I strongly believe that the manifestations of the wonders of praise and the continuous harvest of praise-generated testimonies shall remain with us for a long time to come in Jesus’ name (Amen).

But what is the Spirit of the Lord saying for this new month of September?

According to scriptures, without vision the people perish. This statement underscores vision as one of the most vital forces in the journey of life. Vision in our context, is the unveiling of God’s plan as it relates to an individual.

From scriptures, we understand that we can access the vision of the Lord for our lives in 3 major ways, among others:
- Through the Word of God – The Bible – Is. 29:11-12/ Ps. 119:105
- Through Heavenly Vision – Joel 2:28/ Acts 16:8-10/ Acts 26:19
- Through the witness of the Spirit – Acts 16:6-7/ Rom. 8:16

Furthermore, we must recognize that:
- The Bible is the custodian of God’s vision for every child of God – Is. 29:11-12
- The Word is the divine mirror that reveals our true picture in Christ – James 1:22-25
- The Bible is the creator’s manual that shows us who we are, what we are worth and what we can do – Ps. 100:3/ Matt. 11:11/ Jn. 14:12
- The Word is God’s prophetic agenda for the redeemed – Is. 34:16/ Is. 14:24/ Lk. 1:45
- The Bible is the certified guide of destiny – Ps. 119:105/ Is. 48:17

However, we must understand that God’s plan for every mortal man only becomes accessible after one is born again. As it is written; “Unto you (redeemed) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without (unbelievers), all these things are done in parables” – Mk. 4:11 (See also: 1Cor. 2:14/ Rom. 8:29-30)

But the good news is that everyone in Christ is destined to be:
- A blessing to his world – Gal. 3:13-14/29/ Gen. 22:17-18
- An envy of the world around him – Gal. 4:28/ Gen. 26:12-14
- A shinning light that shines more and more until the end of time – Prov. 4:18
…and many more…

In the light of the above, we should all believe the Holy Ghost to continue to unveil the visions of the Lord from the Word as it relates to each of us from time to time. Therefore, the prophetic theme for the month of September 2014 is:

GOD’S PLAN FOR ME IS IN HIS BOOK – Is. 29:11-12

Recommended books of the month authored by David O. Oyedepo include:

*In Pursuit of Vision  
* Understanding Divine Direction    
* Understanding Vision

and those authored by Kenneth E. Hagin:
* Following God’s Plan for your life                     
*How to be led by the Spirit

Remain ever blessed!

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR AUGUST 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding Grace greetings to you in Jesus’ name.

I have no doubt that every one of us has experienced in one way or another some wonders of the midst of the year all through the months of June and July. The awesome testimonies in our midst hitherto further attest to this fact but God has only set the stage, the harvest of the wonders of the midst of the year is just beginning. May none of us miss the fullness of his/her portion in the exceeding grace agenda reserved for the winners’ family this year (Amen).

Therefore, every winner should expect encounters of a lifetime as God launches us into our harvest season as a result of our engagements in promoting His kingdom all through the period of the midst of the year. It shall be so for us all in Jesus’ name (Amen).

But what is the Lord saying concerning the month of August 2014 to us as a church family?

We must recognize that praise is one of the most neglected weapons of war, yet it is one of the most effective if not the most effective of all spiritual weapons at our disposal.

But How, one may ask? Praise, among others:
- Provokes the flow of Revelation – 2Kgs. 3:15-18/ Is. 30:29-30/ Is. 60:1-22
- Provokes Divine Intervention – 2Chr. 20:22-24/ Ps. 47:5-7
- Provokes Divine Multiplication – Jer. 30:19-20/ Jn. 6:5-11
- Provokes Divine Guidance – Is. 30:19-21/ Ps. 100:4/ Ps. 16:11
- Provokes Supernatural Deliverance – Acts 16:25-30
- Provokes Supernatural Promotion – Hab. 3:17-19.
- Provokes Divine Health – Ps. 100:4/ Ps. 84:7
- Provokes Divine Favour – Ps. 119:164/ Ps. 30:5-7
- Provokes Supernatural Blessing – Ps. 67:5-7/ Joel 1:11-12
- Provokes Divine Vengeance – Ps. 149:3-7/ 2Sam. 6:14-23
- Empowers our access to realms of Signs and Wonders – Exo. 15:11
- Facilitates fulfillment of Prophecies – 2Chr. 20:14-24/ 1Tim. 1:18.

In conclusion:
From scriptures, we understand that praise is God’s spiritual habitat (Ps. 22:3). It is also the medium through which our battles are handed over to God and we know that God cannot take over what we do not hand over (2Chr. 20:3-24/ Ps. 149:1-9). This is why when we engage in praise, God shows up on our behalf and when God shows up, signs and wonders flow. (Ps. 22:3/ Zeph. 3:14/ 2Chr. 20:22-24)


Also, at every cross road, we usually hear people say, “it will take God…” But whatever will take God will require praise – because it takes praise to provoke divine presence (Ps. 22:3/ Ps. 114:1-9).

Therefore, scripturally, praise is superior to prayer because when we pray God answers and when we praise, He comes down and when God comes down, our obstacles are turned into miracles (Exo. 15:11).

Therefore, the prophetic focus for the month of August 2014 is:

GOD WORKS WONDERS THROUGH PRAISE – Ps. 67:5-7

Recommended books of the month authored by David O. Oyedepo include:

* Understanding the Power of Praise                             
* Wonders of Praise

Jesus is Lord!

Bishop David O. Oyedepo

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR JULY 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding Grace greetings in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
 
I have no doubt that everyone of us must have experienced some notable encounters with the word of God all through the month of June, 2014. The humbling testimonies shared on our various altars are proofs that God’s word works. One of such is a man who has been paralyzed for over 9 months, had an encounter while reading Understanding the Power of Praise and divine energy began to surge in him and before getting through to the end of the book, he was perfectly made whole. This testimony was shared two Sundays ago at our Goshen church in Abuja. To God be all the glory. May everyone’s encounter in this season last a lifetime in Jesus’ name. Amen.
 

But what is the Holy Ghost saying for this month of July 2014?
 
Just as every natural father wants their children to prosper and flourish; in the same manner and much more, God does not desire any less for His children (3Jn 2).

 
The wealth of every natural father reflects in their children, so also has God ordained same for His children (1Tim 6:17-19)
 
Every Winner should expect to be visited for a supernatural turnaround this month. Remember, God has come down in the midst of this year, among others, to level out all everlasting mountains and scatter all perpetual hills on our paths. (Hab 3:1-19)
 
In addition, the midst of the year is also ordained for encounter with financial fortune (Hag 2:1-9)
 
All through scriptures most turnaround encounters came suddenly:
· God visited Noah suddenly and that led to the preservation of the generation of humanity - Gen 6:13-14
· Sudden visitation turned Abraham to a symbol of generational blessing (Gen 12:1-4/ 22:1-18/24:1)
· Suddenly, God visited Gideon and turned him to a great deliverer - Judg 6:1-14
· God visited Solomon suddenly, and as result he became the wealthiest man in Bible history [1Kg 3:3-13/ 1Kg 4:22-27/1Kg 10:4-23 (23)]
 
Remember, every child of God is a seed of Abraham – Gal 3:29
 
God once said to Abraham; “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed…”- Gen 22:18
Although, we are redeemed to be blessed, but much more importantly, redemption is ordained to make us a blessing to our world – 2Cor 8:9/Gen 22:17-18.
 
However, it should be noted that wealth in the Kingdom is an ENTRUSTMENT but not an ATTAINMENT. This implies that, God only empowers those He can trust with wealth, that is, those who will use such wealth for His glory – Deut 8:18/ Lk 16:11
 
Therefore, the prophetic focus for the month of July 2014 is:

I am Blessed to be a Blessing – 2Cor 9:8

 
We must all get spiritually set for a launch into a realm of financial fortune, among others, all through this new month.
 

Recommended books of the month authored by me include:
 
*Understanding Financial Prosperity
* Breaking Financial Hardship
* Winning the War against Poverty
* Hidden Covenants of Blessing
* Covenant Wealth.
 
Jesus is Lord!

THE PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR JUNE 2014 - Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Exceeding grace greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.

I strongly believe that the word of faith taught all through the month of May has started speaking in everyone’s life and I pray that the effect of it shall be forever in terms of signs & wonders and diverse testimonies as God continues to validate the fact that faith is a mystery that confers mastery in our day to day life.

But what is the Spirit of God saying concerning the month of June 2014? As we all know, it is the first of the two months that makes the midst of the year mysteries as seen in Hab. 3:2-19/ Hag. 2:1-9. It definitely must be a month pregnant with wonders for the people of God.
But we understand from the bible that the word of God is the mystery behind all of creation – Jn1:1-5/ Heb. 11:3
Therefore, the word of God must be the custodian of solutions to all problems, answers to all questions and the way out of every challenge of life – Is. 60:1-22/ Ps. 107:20
Indeed, the word of God is pregnant with wonders for mankind – Ps. 119:18/ Jn. 1:1-5/8

How, one may ask?
· The Word Saves – Rom. 1:16/ Rom. 10:14-17
· The Word Sanctifies – Ps. 119:9-11/ Eph. 5:26
· The Word Empowers - 2Pet. 1:4/ Jn. 1:12
· The Word Heals and Delivers – Ps. 107:20/ Lk. 5:17/ Prov. 4:20-22
· The Word Makes Wise - 2Thess. 3:15/ Ps. 19:7-9
· The Word Provokes Breakthroughs – Is. 60:1-22/ Jer. 23:29
· The Word is Creative – Gen. 1:1-31/ Heb. 11:3
· The Word is Prophetic – 2Pet. 1:21-22/ Ezek. 37:1-14
· The Word Conquers – Jn. 1:5/ Matt. 4:3-11/ Eph. 6:17 etc, etc.

Truly, God’s word is full of wonders.
To the natural man, the Bible is made up of stories, but to the spiritual man, the Word is made up of mysteries – Mk. 4:11/ 1Cor 2:14/ Eph3:1-11/ Col. 1:25-27

Obviously, it is by the Word of God we gain command over all the issues of life that may ever confront us – Lk. 10:42
Therefore the Prophetic focus for the month of June 2014 is:

HIS WORD WORKS WONDERS – Ps 119:18
May everyone’s eye be opened this month to see the wonders in the word for our desired turnaround (Amen).
 
Recommended books of the month authored by Dr. David O. Oyedepo include:


*The Force of Freedom    * Possessing Your Possession                   
* Walking In Dominion    * Satan Get Lost
* Exploring the Riches of Redemption      *All You Need to Have All Your Needs Met
 
Remain ever blessed.

Jesus is Lord!
