Bishop David Oyedepo shares Insights on Understanding the Covenant at Day 3 of TFOLC Word Explosion Conference 2018.

On Tuesday, April 10, 2018, Guest Minister, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Tabernacle, at the Day 3 Word Explosion Conference 2018, shares powerful and instructive insights on understanding the covenant.

Defining the word Covenant, the Bishop said “Covenant is a deal enacted by God on a clear terms and sealed by an oath. It is a spiritual transaction we commit God to make good His promise”.  Speaking on revelation as it relates to our understanding of the covenant, he said “Every revelation produces to the level of our understanding of it. Our covenant mentality is key to fulfilling our glorious destiny. Covenant mentality will deliver on too many days of fasting”.

Referencing the following scripture verses Matt 13:33, 2Cor. 5:17-20, Joshua 11:45, Luke 19:17-19, Psalm 89:34, 2Cor. 11:3, Jere. 33:21-26, Prov. 14:28, John 15:16, Daniel 12:3, Prov. 11:30; 13:17, 1Tim. 2:4, Psa. 73: 17, Matthew 6:33 and 2Chro. 15:12, He expressed that as believers, we have a growing destiny in Christ, and there is no limit on our destiny because the covenant puts us in command over all prevailing circumstance in life. But unfortunately, said Bishop Oyedepo, too many Christians don’t know there covenant rights. 

“We don’t have to beg to be blessed, we serve to be blessed. You don’t pray to be enthroned, you serve your way to the throne. You don’t have to pray for promotion, just serve. Sitting down in church doing nothing never changes anybody’s position. It is your responsibility to know what your path is in any deal in scriptures and subscribe to it. There is no promises of scriptures without conditions attached. There is no private revelation in the scripture, whatever the word says applies to whoever is interested. There is no respect of persons in God, Faith is simply sharing responsibility with God in the face of the scriptures. No fasting can break scriptures. God relate on the platform of our covenant mentality. Everything with God applies to anybody who believes only, not just the Pastors, Apostles and Bishops. Every scripture provide opportunity to us to make our choice”, he said.

Talking about soul winning as every believers’ responsibility and our choices as Christians, he said the good news in life is, it is never late to be right. Adding that;

“Your choice that God respect, the devil respect too. Our spiritual stewardship (through evangelism and soul-winning) is far superior and cannot be compared to any other stewardship. Heaven cannot celebrate your input and you won’t become a celebrity at the end of the day. As believers’ who understands the covenant, everything that troubles others trembles at your instant when God is with you. Soul winning is not a gift, it is not a calling, is it every believers’ responsibility. If you are on the go for Jesus, He goes with you. God with you keeps things working all the time. Lay aside your reputation so you don’t die in your frustration. The truth is nobody ever loves Jesus at a loose. Everyone that win souls hardly backslide. Free your life by advertising Jesus. Those who preach Jesus hardly slide back. As you begin to move with Him, He keeps moving you forward. Turning many to righteousness makes eternal stars. You are on your way to the throne winning souls. Have a soul winning project per week”.

“His presence makes me fearless. Any time, any day, a Lion is a Lion whether asleep or awake. There is no week I don’t reach out in evangelism from street to street, corner to corner. Why won’t all these things other people seek be added unto me?’ Every covenant you enter into has the capacity to endure for generations” He said.
