Title: The Meekness Factor in the School of Exploits

Ministering: Pastor Yinka Folorunsho

POINT

 Exploits mean outstanding and record-breaking achievements.

 God wants every area of your life to be a positive reference.

 You are not ordained for a life of mediocrity.

 Until your life, family, business, or vocation, becomes an attraction, you are yet to be in the
realm of exploits.

 The end-time church is ordained as a church of giants, not a church of dwarfs.

 You are permitted to start small, but you are not permitted to die small.

 The virtue of meekness is a principal requirement to be enlisted in this end-time army. -

Matt. 5:5

 Meekness is not something you can judge outwardly.

 Meekness is a fruit of the Spirit.

 The fruit of the Spirit is what determines your place in heaven.

 Don't be carried away by charisma!

 The way to enjoy more grace in your life is to remain humble.

 God stands in the way of the progress of the proud.

 What God shows you is what shows you to your world.

 Revelation enhances your elevation in life.

  The moment you see yourself contesting and struggling to obey God's instruction, meekness
is not in you.

 Stop praying for God to make you great, instead pray for Him to make you meek.

 Very meek people always end up very great.

 Don't let people's applause deceive you!

 With meekness, God can lead you.

 When God leads you, He leads you to a place of safety.

 When God leads you, He leads you to a place of exploits.

 A meek person cannot be cheated.

 God is not looking for the strong; He is looking for the faithful and meek.

 Grace means God in the race

 To retain grace, remain meek.

 No matter how much you have been in the faith, you can never outgrow knowledge, and the
only way to know more is to remain meek.

Word Session 2

Message Title: Prophetic Warning to the End-time Church.

Ministering: Bishop David O. Abioye

POINT

 When you ignore warnings, you end up in danger.

 Prophetic warnings are not meant to scare you, but to save you.

 We must avoid replacing the fire in the church with fun.

 The church must wake up!

 A lot of alternatives have been brought into the church. Fun is now taking the place of
power; religion taking the place of spirituality!

 Let the church be prophetically warned by this word!

 Keep the faith, maintain the faith

 Once in the faith is not forever in the faith.

 The Church must beware of spiritual slumber.

 Fun has taken the place of power, religion has taken the place of spirituality, Pastors have
reduced revelation to information, and evil is seeping into the Church.

 Let the Church be warned!

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF SPIRITUAL SLUMBER

1. Samson slept - Judg. 16:19-21

2 Saul slept. - 1 Sam. 26:7 -8

3. David - 2 Sam. 11:2

 Until we go to sleep, the enemy cannot go to work.

 When you see things going down in your life, it is a sign that there is a spiritual slumber.

 Satan has no power to weaken the Church until he puts the people of God to sleep.

 Therefore, awake, thou that sleepiest!

 The devil doesn't come when you stay awake. - 1 Pet. 5:8, Amos. 6:2, Hos. 7:8-10

 Give no place to the devil through spiritual slumber.

 Soberness must be combined with vigilance.

 When you are over-excited, you become careless.

 You cannot be vigilant without being sober.

 The Church of this age is over-excited and when that happens, we miss seeing what we
should see. - Hos. 7:8

REASONS THE CHURCH NEEDS PROPHETIC WARNINGS

1. To sound an alarm about the risk of spiritual slumber. - Joel 2:1, Rom. 11:8, Matt. 25:18

2. To awaken the church to vigilance against the wiles and deception of the devil. -1 Pet. 5:8,
Amos 6:2

3. To maintain the purity or conscience of your faith. - 1 Tim. 1:19

CATEGORIES OF SIN

 Errs

 Temptation

 Iniquity

 Iniquity is the height of sin.

 The reason for repentance is to quickly reverse us to our spiritual state.

 It is to quickly return us to our original state when we make a mistake.

 Repentance means to soberly express deep remorse when you fall into sin.
  God does not condemn you when you sin, He condemns the sin.

 Sin is sin, it does not matter who commits it. - Pro. 28:13

 Repentance is not a once-and-for-all practice, but a once-and-again practice.

 Concealed sin is not entitled to be forgiven and if it is not forgiven, you have lost your place
with God.

 Until iniquity is found in you, Satan does not have a hold on your life.

 A church that does not fight iniquity will soon become a fallen church.

 It is not the big things that make people fall; it is the small things we ignore.

 Sin is targeting your crown; it’s not about the pleasure, it’s about the crown.

 Thoughts are potential actions; cut off evil thoughts immediately. - 1 Kng. 21:29, 2 Sam.
12:13

 God will not condemn you for falling, but He will condemn you for remaining in the fall.

 Be humble enough to repent when you fall into sin.

Message Title: Engaging Covenant Channels of Blessings to Flourish in Hard Times
Ministering: Bishop David Oyedepo

POINT

Channels of Covenant Blessings

1. Obedience

 The principal channel of blessings is obedience. It brings you into the blessings and
preserves the blessings. - Gen. 22:18, Deut. 28:1-2

 Until you know and embrace obedience, you won't know His blessings.

 The weakness of sin is that it penetrates through thoughts. If you can stop the thought, you
have stopped the sin. - Mark 7:21-23

 The blood of Jesus purges your conscience of evil thoughts. It speaks liberty when you
engage it.

 It is the stronghold in battle.

2. Godliness

 It unleashes His blessings supernaturally. - 1 Tim. 4:8, Isa. 32:15

 It is confidence in God that puts God’s people in command supernaturally, and it is

righteousness that builds confidence - Isa. 51:1-2

3. Priestly blessings. - Gen. 14:19, Num. 6:25-27

 God has preserved some priestly blessings for you somewhere, find them and connect.

 When you are under a prophetic shadow, you won't lose your identity.

 It’s not enough to connect; you must also sustain the connectivity and flow in blessings.
  The day you go higher than your source, the flow will stop.

 Don't despise the flow of virtues in your life, or else it will stop.

 There is a test to pass to come into obedience.

 May you pass the test?

 Priestly blessings do not just bring about blessings but also a covering.

 The cheapest way to mess up your enemy is to take a prophetic covering as God directs you.

 Priestly blessings are assets.

 Anybody who claims to be a Priest, but is looking for things is a merchant.

 Let God lead you to where you belong. Connect, stay connected and stay under the covering.

 Connect, stay connected and stay under the covering.

 God sends Prophets on the way of His people. - Luke.4: 26-27

 Don't feel threatened under a prophetic covering; it is for your good.

5. Parental blessings. - Exo. 20:12, Gen. 49:24-26, Eph. 6:1-3

 Parental blessings carry the seal of longevity.

 Parental blessings prevent curses from prevailing.

 Don't pull your shoulders against your parents; it will bring a curse!

 Honour them with what is valuable to you and their souls will pour out blessings upon you.

 Without genuine honour for your parents, you lose honour in your life.

 It is the seed that you sow, that you reap!

 You need parental blessings, no matter the anointing you carry.

Devices the Devil Uses to Rob You of your Blessings

1. Lovers of themselves. - 2 Tim. 3:1-2

 Perilous times shall come because men shall be lovers of their own selves. - 2 Cor.2:11
2. Proud.

minded.
3. Boasters.
 Prophetic blessings are Prophetic in nature; God honour’s them, and confirms them.
4. Unthinkable.
5. Unholy.

 A disconnect from God will limit the worth of your life.
