It is a day of prayer and admonition and blessing from the throne of heaven upon the children of God from the Shepherd of God, Bishop David Oyedepo. The Man of God mounts the altar in his traditional white raiment and speaks to the people as he is led by the spirit of God with the energy of youth and vigour as if he has not clocked six decades and three hundred and sixty-five days on earth. He speaks to the people thus while the flock listens with deep and quiet intent for the crowd has grown even much bigger than the first unto the third day:
1. The greatest task before me is to succeed and be as an example to my flock which my father in heaven has bestowed upon me as good shepherd who has been called upon by God to lead you to the place of joy and aplenty
2.
Therefore
hearken unto my voice for if I do not lie to myself I have no right to lie to
you and court the anger of my father who is in heaven who has called me.
3.
If
I do not fail as my father in heaven is not a failure, the flock shall not
fail, especially on this day at Shiloh. For failure this day has been buried
and killed in your life.
4.
But
you all must be sanctified as I have been sanctified for your sake; for it is
only through this shall all that you have received at this Shiloh stay
permanent in your life to the mockery of Satan.
5.
As
I have been a good example to you my sheep, likewise should you replicate this
to the world for we are the salt of the earth and we should never lose that
saltiness.
6.
My
dear flock, do not be sluggish at heart as you posses all the potentials to
change your world for its betterness and to the glory of my father in heaven
who has called me to be your shepherd and you, my flock.
7.
There
is nothing better for the health and goodness of the heart than the right
sacrifices to bring about all the potential my father in heaven has put in you
to use for your own good and the good of the whole world.
8.
So,
keep your heart clean and pure and think right and good thoughts always.
9.
Your
growth shall suffer limitation if you force that growth to come about yet you
do not provoke it.
10. Force does not
bring about breakthrough but provocation of the spirit by doing that which is
right before man and God in heaven with all the right vision.
11. The scripture
admonishes you that you should pray without ceasing, and I tell you that how
right the scripture is and you must pray as if without prayer you have no other
life.
12. Pray in whatever
language and with your spirit alive, for God in heaven has no language, as He
is neither English nor German nor an American nor a Nigerian; the only language
He knows is the purity of the soul and the spirit and the intent of the
communication with Him.
13. There is nothing
extra-ordinary on its own without your input of prayer and the size of your
vision and your decision to realise that vision.
14. For growth
without prayer is growth that will head in the direction of perishing.
15. Should you not
be weary of those who come to you and tell you that you should take it easy
with life when you are in the right course and pursuit and my father in heaven
sees that this is right?
16. Away with this
kind of people for they have nothing to offer you than to talk you out of your
destiny.
17. Oh, my dear
flock, you must take responsibility of every little beginning heaven has
offered you because in your small beginning that is well managed with
discipline and God’s blessing, there your greatness shall be established.
18. Finally, my dear
flock, there is no price required that you are not equipped to pray for.
19. Pray and yet
pray and believe with faith with the greatest faith that it is done.
20. For my father in
heaven is a listener to a prayerful heart for at the right time even the earth
will bow and heaven shall be glorified. The Man of God finishes and comes down
from the altar and there is silence inside the church except the different
languages and voices of praying.
