1ST SHILOH 2014 RALLY SET TO HOLD


As part of preparations towards Shiloh 2014, the annual gathering of the Winners family at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, the 1st Shiloh 2014 Rally has been scheduled to hold on Saturday November 1, 2014. According to the announcement bulletin last Sunday as published by the ministry, It shall also double as a Special District Outreach”. Members were enjoined to come out en mass at the District Centres at 7am across Lagos and Ota to participate in the rally where fliers for the great annual event will be distributed.

This year’s theme is ‘HEAVEN ON EARTH,” and according to the President and founder of the Living Faith Church worldwide, it shall be a mountain for a dramatic turnaround. "I believe we shall all be departing from Shiloh 2014 into a new world; a world of heaven on earth indeed! We may be challenged, but Satan has no power to prevail where we belong.  Therefore, we should all get prepared for Shiloh 2014 with all expectations for a dramatic turnaround experience,” said Bishop David Oyedepo.

He noted that everyone would be rewarded according to their own effort.  Shiloh 2014 starts from 9th and ends on 13th December, 2014 and the venue is KM 10 Idiroko Road, Cannaland Ota, Ogun State, and will be streamed live across the world and viewed live at many designated viewing centres.

PASTOR NTIA STANDS IN FOR BISHOP OYEDEPO

If you were not in church last Sunday, you've got to read this!

For worshippers at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota headquarters of the Living Faith Church worldwide also known as Winners’ Chapel international, not many can remember when the presiding Bishop, David Oyedepo, was ever absent during a Sunday service since 1999 when the commission moved to what was formerly a forest. Since the church has no branch for Sunday services in the whole of Lagos, Ota and environs, followers troop in from far and near – Lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island, FESTAC, Agbara, Okokomaiko, Surulere, etc, every Sunday, knowing that the prophet in the house is always on hand to serve them the plan and mind of God for the moment. But On Sunday October 26, 2014, Papa, as the president and founder of the ministry is fondly called, was absent: for the first time in many years or as far as this writer can remember, Bishop Oyedepo was not in church during the four services.

TAKE ME TO THE KING... And my broken heart will be mended (A Poem)


TAKE ME TO THE KING!
My heart is very weary
And almost bleeding
I'm in need of mending
This world has dealt me a blow
I'm struggling to stand
But take me to the King!

The economy is depressing
Loan facility is killing
Profit making is sinking
All alone in my misery
Just take me to the King!

Ten years I have waited
Nothing to show forth
The babies refuse to come through
I’ve cried all through, night and day
The pain in me keeps increasing
Please take me to the King!

Daily, people keep asking
When will it be your turn to marry?
Seems like ancestral curse is working
In all my frustration
Take me to the King!

Leave me there alone
Just to gaze upon His glory
And my broken heart will be mended
All the pains will be gone
I’m in the presence of The King!

From The Archives (2): WHAT THE ANOINTING DOES



"No mortal man taught me how to drive - the anointing teaches you all things. The anointing does not only teach spiritual things; it teaches even technical and scientific things. The spirit of wisdom and revelation teaches Bible things, but The Anointing teaches all things - it teaches you how to raise your children in a manner that secures future."

…Bishop Oyedepo, March 2014, speaking on The Spirit of Counsel

FROM THE ARCHIVES (1): Read What Bishop Oyedepo Said Last Year About The Communion

Photo Credit: Google.com
 "If it (the communion) can attack cancer ONLINE; then it will devastate it ‘ON-GROUND’.""One of the great Prescriptions of the Great Physician is the Holy Communion…because it empowers you and I to live like Jesus."
"You can’t shoot eternal life. After this communion, you become ‘unshootable.’ Except God has not sent me: any one that dares any member of this family, from today, the arrows of death will hit them."
"He refers no case to anybody; his name is Jesus Christ; His treatments are without any side effects, His name is Jesus. He heals by His words, He heals by His garments, He heals by His looks, everything about Him carries healing virtues; He has healings in His wings. His name is Jesus; He carries out His surgery without a theatre."
"It is not a sin to go to hospitals or take medications. But if you are not sick, you won’t need it. It is paying all over again (when) someone already paid for it with His life." (See Mtt. 9:12-13) 
"If Jesus tarries, for the next 40years, you will not know weakness or sickness; you will not become a burden."
Hear the Bishop’s story: 
“I had my first encounter with this revelation 1976 when a priest took the Bible and read from John chapter 6. It was as if I was hearing from Jesus; ‘I am that bread of life (what!); your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead; I’m the living bread that came down from heaven that a man may eat thereof and not die (what!). It was sinking in like rain from heaven. And then in 1977, I now saw the mystery behind the health and vitality of Smith Wigglesworth that he lived on Holy Communion daily. (ayayayaya!). 

Then I began a daily medication. I must tell you the truth: I’m physically stronger today than I was 32years ago when Jesus called me…I’m ‘sounder’ (if there is a word like that) upstairs than I was 32years ago”. (See John 6: 48-53)
"Eternal life doesn't grow old. God is not older than he was the day he created himself…eternal life is constant."

"…we talk about the white blood corpuscles in science which are called the soldiers of the body which attack any enemy that attack your body. But the Blood of Jesus is the whitest blood. It is the stainless blood of the Lamb…when you take the blood; you’re taking in the divine white blood corpuscles. It goes inside to launch an attack against your attackers so as to set you free."
"Anything Christ had paid for that is still tormenting you is illegal."
"If you don’t know better than your enemy, he will take you for a ride. Let God be true and all sciences be lies. (Roman 3:4) Anything science says that is opposed to the truth is falsehood, particularly when you know that truth." (See 1Tim.6:20)

"There is no great hospital that qualifies for a weekend. Only the sick are welcomed there."  (No matter how beautiful the hospital is, it is still not a hotel)
"The communion is a three-dimensional balm, it imparts on your three-dimensional being: your spirit, soul and body …when you take the communion, you are taking healing for your spiritual life…it heals your soul…you now know what to do at every crossroads." 

(So when you’re confused, you know what to do, don’t you. See John 6; 6)

"The communion is designed for strength, for health and for longevity." (See 1Corith.11:23ff)
"Every sickness is traceable to the blood that’s why they do blood works in trying to find out what is wrong with a man. But when you possess the blood of Jesus, it’s a sickness-free blood, it’s a disease-free blood; it’s a perfect blood."
"There are many destinies that won’t be fulfilled until some are crushed.""The greatest enemy of the church is spiritual ignorance. The greatest enemy of the believer is not the devil; the greatest enemy is spiritual ignorance...The cure for spiritual ignorance is divine revelation." (See Isaiah 5:3)
PROPHECY: "If manna sustained them for 40years, how much more will this Communion sustain you? Therefore, the next 40years, I see you sitting on top of sickness and disease in Jesus Name."
"All those your children you are serving Holy Communion, you know what you are doing? You are engaging a mind-builder. They will grow up and make us look like we've been doing nothing – because of the intensity of light." (See John 6:6)
"The communion is God’s prescription for the total health package for His children. It was never administered to the multitude, only for the disciples. So, if you are not born-again, it has no effect in your life."
"The brighter you see, the faster the delivery.""The great physician cures and specializes in instant cure. He repairs damaged parts; He replaces irreparable, stolen or dead parts." (See John 10:10)

"It is the prayer of faith that heals, not the prayer of days."
"Until your mind is renewed by the truth, you are not a candidate of triumph." (See Rom.12:1-3)
"A man is as old as he thinks. Abraham believed in a future at age 75. Moses took off on the liberation mandate at the age of 80. At 65, Darius took the ring…" (See Dan.5:31-32)
"Your mentality is what defines your destiny."

"Anyone who thinks I’m 59 is wasting his mind: I’m in my 20s!" 
(He celebrated his 60th birthday on September 27, 2014)
"If you believe it, then show it. When your actions don’t align with what you claim to believe, it is fake." (See Dan.5:27)
From Communion Service, September 8, 2013

Reminder: Today is Thursday, the second day of this month’s week of spiritual emphasis. LFC members are meant to wait on the Lord in a fast to break with the Communion during the evening service. It is another opportunity to engage the Communion.
