Founder and President of living faith Worldwide A.K.A Winner chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has revealed that the Church made more money during the lockdown period in 2020 than the whole of year 2019.
The Bishop was speaking at the 1st service, Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland to testify to the goodness of God.
According to him: “Our income in the year of lockdown was far above our income the previous year.
God planted 10,404 Churches. In the previous year without lockdown we planted 5,082 churches and we were jumping.
“Now we are violently looking for land in those villages.
We are not asking you to give us land, just lead us to where we can buy the land.”

A lot of my sons in the ministry have subscribed to these ministries, some 10, some 20, some I can’t tell.
We planted 10,404 Churches in 2020 and 5,082 churches in 2019.
Any faith that makes God totally responsible for the outcome of your life is an irresponsible faith.
I am yet to receive the first dime from my books.
This ministry is yet to receive a dime from publishing.
It takes faith to see prophecies fulfilled.
1 Kings 8:15
Only the hand of God has capacity to fulfill the plan of God.
We secure God’s hand by faith.
Isaiah 53:1.
It is Faith that releases the hand of God for performance.
We cannot see God’s word come through without the hand of God and we can’t see the hand of God without Faith.
1 Kings 8:24-verse 15 repeated Verbatim.
There is no heavyweight prayer that can deliver prophecies. It takes the hand of God. Until Faith comes alive, prophecies can’t be delivered.
It’s time to take responsibility.
October 4 1981 from Isaiah 51:1-2
You are ultimately responsible for the outcome of your life.
The quality of our lives are determined by Faith.
Romans 10:16
Lack of Faith is a risk.
What built this house (Faith Tabernacle)?
The Hand of God.
The money was not there-The hand of God.
The speed was the hand of God.
Your promised land this year is a reality.
Build your faith.
That you attend Faith Tabernacle does not equate Faith.
That you work in Covenant University does not equate degree.
The just shall live by faith.
Habakkuk 2:4
Romans 10:17
Galatians 3:11
Hebrews 10:38
God can’t go beyond your faith to intervene in your affairs.
Mark 9:23
We need to build our Faith capacity to walk in the fullness of God’s agenda for our lives.
We need to build our faith, it doesn’t jump on people.
You determine the level of growth.
We must invest in growing our faith.
‘I returned from one of my trips to US with a box filled with books and my wife asked what I brought. I took her to a box filled with books and another one filled with books and she asked what else? I said that is all else. By reading this books I will produce the things I would have bought.
I have read a few things. I have rode on the backs of giants.
Build your faith.
Prophecies come to us from 3 main channels.
1. The Bible
One third of the Bible are prophecies.
Isaiah 29:11
In Deuteronomy 28:1
The Lord said to me-There is a place for you on top if you are interested.
Are you interested?
Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it!
1 Samuel 3:21
2. Through Personal Encounters with God.
Genesis 21:1
For that to happen you have to be spiritual and be a man or woman that walks in the Spirit.
Revelation 1:10
1 Corinthians 2:14
3. Through Godsent Prophets.
Two thirds of prophecies that define your destiny are directly revealed to you through personal divine encounters.
We have this prophetic scripture that after 40 years Israel was ushered into the Promised Land and I am the Lord I change not.Church Gist.
Malachi 3:6
Where you shall eat in plenty and not lack anything.
Where anywhere the sole of your feet shall tread upon shall be given you.
How powerful are prophecies.
How Powerful are Prophecies?
1. Prophecies are essentially sworn
verdicts
Isaiah 14:24
Isaiah 34:16
Genesis 22:16-18
2. God speaks according to himself.
He speaks according to what he can and will do.
1 John 1:5
When God responds to our obedience we are in dreamland.
When we got this land I asked that we look for farmers in this Church to cultivate the land till we have resources to undertake the project we were planning. As I was on the platform he told me September 18 1999 the Tabernacle shall be dedicated. One year so we have to start now. Did he not do it?
Not one dime was borrowed.
God is greater than your strength.
Smarter than your skill.
God speaks according to himself and not according to us.
This year will be a year of great surprises for you.
Jeremiah 33:27,17.
There is nothing too hard for thee.
God said I will be speaking to the whole world.
At that time, there was no internet.
You hear Matthew 6:33 everywhere today.
One of the shockers I got during the week!
Our income in the year of lockdown
Was far above our income the previous year.
God planted 10,404 Churches.
In the previous year without lockdown we planted 5,082 churches and we were jumping.
Now we are violently looking for land in those villages.
We are not asking you to give us land, just lead us to where we can buy the land.
A lot of my sons in the ministry have subscribed to these ministries, some 10, some 20, some I can’t tell.
They are not members of this Church but are heavily subscribed.
Just lead us to where the land is.
We have bought some land before that we can’t build on.Church Gist.
The Goodnews is God’s hand will bring you to the promised land this month.
Your turnaround experience begins this month.
How does Faith facilitate fulfillment of prophecies?
Hebrews 11:7
God’s hand brought God’s plan to fulfillment.
Whatever God can do, Faith can make happen.
Hebrews 11:7
Mark 10:27
Mark 9:23
1. We must receive the prophetic word in our minds.
Romans 12:2
James 1:7-8
Romans 4:20
Our mind comes to play where Faith is involved.
The word your mind can’t received never gets fulfilled in your life.
2. We must believe with our hearts.
Romans 10:10
Mark 11:23
The heart of man is the seat of Faith.
Hebrews 4:2
3. We must work out our part of the deal -believing.
Genesis 12:4
He had to do his part before the agenda was accomplished.
Every prophetic word has God’s part and man’s part before they can be fulfilled.
Deuteronomy 11:13, Joel 2:27
Not just bringing you to the land but teaching you what it takes to remain in that land.
Psalm 23:5
God doesn’t need permission from your enemies, just obey him.
Any Faith that makes God totally responsible for the outcome of your life is an irresponsible Faith.
There is what you must do for God to fulfill His word in your life.
In the name of Jesus, God’s prophetic agenda shall not fail in your life.
Philippians 2:12
Hebrews 11:6
James 2:18
Genesis 22:16
4. We must engage in a fight of Faith to take hold of fulfillment of prophecies.
1 Timothy 6:12
1 Corinthians 16:9
Ephesians 6:16
It takes engaging in a fight of Faith to see prophecies fulfilled.
2 months before this Tabernacle was dedicated I was on this altar and under rain.
The next week I was in Kano and while I was in my hotel room, God told me it didn’t take more than 7 days to create the earth, 2 months is too much to complete a building.
People give up too quickly so they lose out too cheaply.
Two Months Too Much.
September 18 is a practical reality.
Roof completed, windows fixed, light connected and we even planted flowers.
1 Timothy 1:18
Pay attention to building your faith.
Get relevant books.
This altar represents the principal altar in the school of Faith.
This Commission is absolutely a product of the hand of God at work.
The caller has been the doer.
Strive to experience God this year.
Some 3 times, some 4 times.
Arise and shine
Your light is waiting to burst forth.
I read my way out of poverty into prosperity through the books of Kenneth Copeland.
I was telling pastors that someone said they announce books because that is where Papa gets his money from. I am yet to draw the first dime from my books. The ministry is yet to draw one dime from the Publishing house.
