1. Miracle Baby!

“Before I got married, I was battling with pelvic inflammatory disease (PIV)
for nine years. I did all I could to find a cure; I went to different hospitals, all
sorts of tests were conducted, I took all kinds of drugs, but all to no avail.
When I met my husband, I told him about my condition. He said that the God
of Bishop Oyedepo does not change.
In June 2011, we got married! That same month, the Winners’ Satellite
Fellowship (WSF) was brought to our home.
Last year, during a Pre-Shiloh Encounter Service, the Bishop said we should
pray and dance to the Lord. So, I did and believed that something would turn in
my favour.
To the glory of God, that same month, I got pregnant! The Lord gave us a
baby girl - Fiyinfunoluwa, Jesutofunmi, Olatunde. I give God all the glory!” ---
Mrs. Olatunde, H.
2. Deaf And Dumb Healed!
“I joined this Commission in January 2004. I am 15 years old, and was deaf and
dump. We attended Shiloh 2004, and on the last day, Bishop David Oyedepo
laid on the floor as he prayed. My mother and every other person lay down
too. Though I did not hear the instruction, but when I saw everybody lie down,
I also laid down. Barely two minutes later, I heard a slap on my ear. I jumped up
and noticed an unusual noise in my ears, but my mother instructed me to
continue in prayer. I again went flat on the floor, and instantly felt a gentle
breeze across my ears. Ever since, I have been hearing and speaking.” -

FAITH: THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CHRISTIAN WALK

Monday, August 27th , 2018

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

…according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3 ).
Faith is the principle of the Christian walk: “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)”*_ (2
Corinthians 5:7 ). The Bible clearly emphasizes that without faith, it’s impossible to
please God (Hebrew 11:6). There’s no Christian that doesn’t have faith, as we’ve all
received the same measure of faith, according to our opening verse. You only need to
grow your measure of faith.

The Word reveals to us how to grow great and effectual faith. First, you have to stay
continually in the Word; the Word stirs faith in your spirit: “…faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the Word of God”*_ (Romans 10:17 ). The more of God’s Word you
hear, the more faith you’ll have. The less of God’s Word you receive into your spirit, the
less faith you’ll be able to express when you’re faced with the challenges of life.

Your faith is also built as you consistently attend church services and fellowship with
other believers (Hebrews 10:25 ). In church, you’re taught the Word, and you also
enjoy the rich fellowship of the Spirit in a way that energises your faith. Howbeit, you
must also express your faith. James 1:22 says, _*“But be ye doers of the word, and
not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”*_ You build prevailing faith by consistently
meditating on, and putting the Word to work in your life.

Acting on the Word is faith expressed, and our faith is the victory that overcomes the
world. Faith that’s not expressed won’t prevail. Faith must always be with corresponding
action: _*“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead
also”*_ (James 2:26 ). So, always express your faith in words and actions.

Don’t cry or complain to God about your situation; act on the Word! Use your faith.
Jesus said if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you can tell a mountain to
move, and it’ll obey you. The faith you have is enough; do something with it. Use it; it’s
the currency for whatever you may desire. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

The Word inspires faith in me to overcome challenges, and maintain my victorious life in
Christ. The forces of righteousness, success, divine health, victory, and prosperity are
activated in my life as I live in God’s Word, guided and inspired by divine wisdom to fulfil
His perfect will for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
