Let’s quickly take two powerful scriptures. “Isaiah 42 v 7 “to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house”. Praise the Lord. The second scripture is taken from Isaiah 4 v 13 “Therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge and their honourable men are famished and their multitude dried up with thirst”. Praise the Lord, amen. Brethren, we are speaking on the topic “God is still on the throne”! These scriptural examples are clear evidence that knowledge is essential in the progress and development of man. In the course of life, there are mysteries unexplained that leave you confused but certainly not God. Thus, it is possible to be in bondage—prison-- yet walk free aimlessly in the streets. That’s why it is possible to have a certificate but no work; that’s why it is possible to be married but without a child. Brethren, when you are blind and sit in darkness, you may be the most handsome in your family but still wallow in abject poverty; without knowledge it would be difficult to escape the consequences; The Bible says “my people perish for lack of knowledge”, but I have you here believe that even in that situation, God has not abandoned you. You may be famished, you may be thirsty, but I tell you the glory of God remains a potent cover for you. Praise the Lord. In verse 8 of that same chapter, God says “Iam the Lord; that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven image”! This is the beauty of God our father. In Galatians 5 v. 1 the Bible tells us “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” And in Ephesians 4 v 27, we read of “Neither gives place to the devil”! Stand fast and neither give place to the devil. Pray fervently, seek the face of God in all things; never give up, for our God neither sleep nor slumber! These are strong admonitions for us Christians. Philippians 2 v. 10, ‘That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth”! Look at this beautiful scripture; that at the name of Jesus….things under the earth…should (bow)…wonderful. Brethren, our God is a consuming fire. No matter what you are going through today, believe it that you shall emerge victorious. How wicked can the world be to consign some people into captivity and some the region of darkness? God has told us: His glory will He not give to another. Just be in the
faith; don’t give in to the devices of the devil. Victory is assured when you make Jesus Christ your saviour. Fear not for those who boast and pride themselves in their evil works. Praise the Lord. As we round up take up your armour of faith; believe in your God for it is Him that giveth you the power to make wealth. And for those who worship Him in truth, you can be sure to overcome all travails. Therefore, awake earthmen, listen to your creator and be saved for they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.
. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...
