THE WAYS OF GOD ARE THE HIGHWAYS OF LIFE! DON’T GO YOUR WAY, IT CAN BE COSTLY!
NEVER DESPISE THE WAYS OF GOD THEY ARE THE HIGHWAYS OF LIFE!
Bishop David Oyedepo || 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting Day 3 || Faith Tabernacle Canaanland || 11th January, 2023 || Part A
The ways of God are the Highways of life! Isaiah 55:9. We already gathered people for training for our programme, ‘Entering into seventy five nations according to the Prophetic Word’. We were in that meeting when I said, ‘Stop it! That’s not the way to go’! They have already arrived from various places. Church Gist. I said, ‘Stop it, we are leaving tomorrow morning, now everybody go back to your various places’! We went His way without any drop of sweat, He gave us entry into eighty three nations.
The ways of God are the Highways of life! Don’t go your way, it can be costly! Full of hassles! Go His way! Church Gist. In case you want to know, when He gave us five thousand Churches to plant, it is contained in the Prophetic book because I have all of those things there and you have your copies! That was more than the running number of Churches as at the time that He said it!
Now, we started Church planting in 1987. Then fast forward 1987 to 2001 and by showing the way to go, He did it! Please don’t despise the ways of God, they are the Highways of life! Never despise the ways of God they are the Highways of life! To show that He showed the way, He redoubled it the following year by planting for Himself ten thousand four hundred Churches in Nigeria, one thousand three hundred across thirty five other nations of the world. Church Gist. He did by discovering His way and going there! Every teaching of the Word shows the way God wants our lives to operate on the Highways of life!
I know we started Cell Ministry here in 1992 or thereabouts, but what we saw in 2022, thirty years after! One year was more than what we had before! God has a way of fast forwarding His agenda when you discover His way! All these ones that we are talking and saying, ‘Let’s build a great Church’! It’s about ‘let’s build a great life-You’! Church Gist. God is showing you the way to the greatness that He has for you! Please mind it! It’s not enough to secure a vision but to know the way to go about it! My way is higher than your ways and my thought than your thoughts Isaiah 55:9. It works! His ways are the Highways of life!
And these two shall become one flesh! Whatever name that you call your partner in marriage is your name! ‘Big fool’! That’s Mr Big fool calling Mrs Big fool! Nobody called you, you are the one calling yourself, the two of you are one! And you gave him or her a slap, that’s you slapping yourself! Church Gist. A sure madness! God showed me! He showed me! No, I hate to be called a fool! No! I hate to be called mad! His ways are the Highways of life!
In the Precious Name of Jesus, may the things God is showing you in the cause of this month hold real life value to you! And may you go full blast into it! And you will be glad that you did! My destiny entered into rest in 1976! Complete rest! Unperturbed rest! Church Gist. Zero distractions! Seek ye first the advancement of My Kingdom, and all these things that people are dying to get… Matthew 6:33. I heard it from His mouth! I heard from His mouth, if you heard it anywhere they are quoting me without saying so! I didn’t read it from any book in my life! What else do I need? To seek one thing and have all things added to me? Thank you Jesus! I was on top of the moon!
-May you value His ways! May you be tireless in walking in His ways!
There is nothing in that Book to God’s advantage! It’s all to your advantage and my advantage if you will harken to My voice, observe to do all that I commanded you to do! I will in return set you above all the nations of the Earth, you won’t be lobbying for it! Church Gist. Deuteronomy 28:1-2. It’s your turn! This is your year of cruising on the Covenant Highway! The traffic rules are here (The Bible). No stopping! No parking! The rules are here! Don’t get in the slow lane on the highway!
Open up! We have been on the street corners riding on the byways and it’s enough! Get up! Come on here on the Highways of life! And you are the one that He is talking to! I’m the one that He is talking to! You are about to gain the greatest speed of your life in experiencing God’s favour, God’s grace and God’s glory in all areas of your life!
There are things that He is telling me, I can’t say them now! Lest I be stoned! But interesting! One day He walked up to me in 1987 and said, ‘My son, there is a place for you at the top if you are interested’! Friends,how many are interested in being on top tonight? Is anybody interested in being in the valley? Church Gist. At the bottom? Is anybody willing and praying to be the tail? So for all of us who are saved, there is a place for us on top if we are interested, ‘Oh yes Lord, I’m interested, okay’! The question is what do I do? He said ‘Then, whatever I tell you to do, do it! John 2:5.
It is your open, unrestricted access to the topmost top! I will set you on high above all nations of the Earth! Deuteronomy 28:1. My friend that was the day being the President of Nigeria holds no value to me! Sir, I was thirty years old when I saw it! I saw it and I screamed! Yeah! I got it! To be asked to be the President of this great nation, I’ll consider it a demotion! This is one key to be above all nations of the world!
Amen! Childlike Faith! Fool’s Faith! You catch the Word, you receive it and believe it! You are empowered to become it! It’s your turn! Everyone committed to advancing the Kingdom has committed God to advance his destiny! Your commitment to the advancement of God’s Kingdom is God’s commitment to advance your life! It was the Lord that advanced Moses! Church Gist. He is the advancer of men! Promotion cometh from God, so if you are committed to advancing His Kingdom, you have committed Him to the advancement of your destiny!
-May your commitment be unwavering, consistent and righteous! May your commitment be without murmuring and complaining! Isaiah 55:9.
-Lord, show me the way to go in every area of my life before this fasting is over! Show me! It is the Lord who has shown us Light! Show me Light on the way to go!
Don’t go your way, it can be costly! There is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the ways there of, are the ways of death!
