EVERY DAY CHURCH: Covenant Hour of Prayers...
“Therefore, in the name of God
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Covenant Hour of Prayer is hereby
flagged off for the advancement of both this Commission and the individual
members of the Winners’ family worldwide beginning from Monday 16th March,
2015.”
With these words, the President and
Founder of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, declared open the
latest spiritual instruction for the season. According to a leaflet “Introducing
the Covenant Hour of Prayer,” containing
the guidelines, the Covenant Hour of Prayers is anchored on several scriptures,
among which are Psalms 63:1-3, Proverbs 8:17 and Isaiah 26:9: “Oh Lord my God,
early will I seek thee…to see thy power and thy glory.” “They that seek me
early shall find me.”
The announcement leaflet stated
further that the hour of prayer will be taking place both at Canaanland and all
WSF Regional facilities, from Monday through Friday between 5:30 and 6:30am.
However, in areas where there are security issues and restriction of movement,
the time shall be 6am to 7am.
BUT WHY NOT IN OUR INDIVIDUAL
HOMES?
The answer to the question above
was also provided in the leaflet, with scriptural backings: “God has the right
to determine where to keep appointment with His people (Deut.12:13-14;
Gen.22:1-5). Zion, that is, the church is God’s appointed place for His people
in the New Testament (Ps.132:13-14; Acts 3:1). Zion, the church is our God’s
appointed service station for holiness, deliverance and for possessing our
possessions (Obad.17, 21; Heb.12:22-24).”
It also stated that Christ’s
presence is guaranteed when we gather together in the name of the Lord and “He
honours whatever we agree to in prayers,” in line with Matthew 18:22-24
BENEFITS
According to Bishop Oyedepo, this
Covenant Hour of Prayer will usher the ministry into “higher realms of
dominion, drafting multitudes into the church through the wonders of answered
prayers” in line with Zech.8:20-21. But that’s not all, it shall also guarantee
a heaven-on-earth and wonders-without-end experience for every Winner all
through 2015. But the ultimate, according to Papa, is that this prayer movement
will “stir a sustainable spiritual awakening and revival across our church
network worldwide” which will culminate in “a wave of manifestation of the sons
of God.”
TAKE ADVANTAGE...
God has spoken through His
servant. They that dive in early shall obtain the benefits. Having a prophet that
hears from heaven on a daily basis is a blessing but it will amount to nothing
if we are hearers alone and not doers. We therefore urge everyone to hearken to
the voice of God and maximize this season.
