TESTIMONIES TO THE GLORY OF GOD and the shame of the devil (Recorded live at Honour Entrance, Faith Tabernacle)

Healed Of Eye Problem

I was operated on in 2012 and after then, I began to experience boils on and off at a two-week interval, making me not to be able to see properly. During a One Hour prayer section one day, I presented the issue to God. As I touched my eyes and prayed, it was as if something was washing my eyes; then I realized I could see clearly with my eyes and the boils disappeared. I am now free at last. Thank you JESUS.

10 TESTIMONIES TO THE GLORY OF GOD and the shame of the devil (Recorded live at Honour Entrance, Faith Tabernacle)

1. Moving Object In my Body Vanishes.

“I joined this commission on June 12th this year. I gave my life to Christ and came for WOFBI on September 19th, 2016. Before I came to this church, there was a strange object moving round my body. One day after my WOFBI class, I read the book ‘Exploits of Faith’ by David Oyedepo; and was filled with the spirit of God. I became sure of my healing. I also listened to an Impartation of Power Ministration by Papa preached in August 2013. During the message, he instructed us to place the mantle on our laps, which I did at home. I fell down and upon rising I discovered that everything disappeared; no moving objects anymore. Thanks to God in Jesus name.”

Testifier: Amaka Ebule

2. Body Itching Seized Via Anointing Oil

“During my exams, my body started itching. I thought it was temporary. On my way, it resumed and grew worse when I got home. I took natural herbs to no avail. My parents told me to take the anointing oil but I declined, wondering what the anointing could do. After much ado, I started taking the anointing.  One morning as I was taking my bath, I poured the oil in my water, prayed for God to do a new thing in my life and bathed with it. I came to church on a communion service, took the communion and went home. While speaking to my mum, I noticed I had been talking with her for long and there was no itching, until the following day. That’s how God healed me. I give God all the glory.”

….....Alexandra Olayinka David

3. HEALED OF SWOLLEN LEG

“I woke up about three months ago and found out that there was a wound in my leg, thinking it was a mere injury and I applied just water and still it refused to heal. I thought it was a symptom of pregnancy so I went to the hospital yet they could not find anything.

It continued to swell up and turned blue, people said I had stepped on charms. On Wednesday, when Daddy said we should pray for vengeance, I told God that I have been going for outreaches and you blessed me with the fruit of the womb, now God of vengeance show yourself.

That same night I had a dream and saw a king torturing a man asking him what I did. The man said that the fault was not from me that they wanted to get my mummy and that could be done through me. The King asked me and a man dressed in white to go and capture the man, we did and the torture of the man continued. I was given nylon and was asked to go. After I woke up, I discovered that the swollen leg had dried up. I give God all the glory.”

Testifier: NAOMI RICHARD

4. DELIVERED FROM DEATH

“I am here to glorify the name of God who delivered me yesterday from the spirit of death. On my way coming to church for the covenant hour of prayer at 6:30am, two men stopped me and asked if I did not hear that someone was killed yesterday in my street, I replied no. They kept interrogating me; one was telling the other to leave me saying they couldn’t use me that I was ‘a bad market’, the other refused while I kept telling them I was going to church. To the glory of God they left me alone and I give God all the glory.”

Testifier: DEBORAH JOSEPH

5. PROMOTION VIA KINGDOM INVESTMENT

"When the ark bearer sacrifice was announced, the Holy Spirit laid it upon my heart to organize a bus and subsidized the transport fare of some members in my zone. I obeyed and religiously kept at it. Sometimes the devil tried to convince me to stop that it was not necessary but thank God I never stopped. To the glory of God and by His grace on the 5th day of the prayer and fasting, I got a promotion at my place of work something that was not even on my prayer list. I can say God has refunded, added and supernaturally provided for me to continue sowing the seed. To Him alone be all the glory.”

Testifier: FUNTO SANU

6. SUPERNATURAL DELIVERANCE

“Last week I went to the market with my wife for shopping, we went with a bike leaving our car behind. I never knew that the car was unlocked which was quite unusual of me.

While in the market my phone kept ringing, it was a call from my engineer but I could not pick it due to the noise around. Later I picked it and he told me that my youngest son had been trapped inside the car due to its central lock. By the time we got home, almost everybody in the compound had gathered, saying that God saved my son as he was trapped, collapsed, under the heat. Thank God for the timely intervention of my engineer who broke the rear mirror and rescued him. I give all the glory to God for that deliverance.

Testifier: JOHN MADUME

7. EXEMPTED FROM ARMED ROBBERY VIA THE MANTLE

“In the month of June 2016, I was on my way to the Eastern part of the country. Between Ore and Okada, there was a robbery attack, and everybody was dispossessed of their money, phones and other valuables except me. The robbers asked all passengers to disembark.

Before I left for the journey, I ensured I didn’t forget my 35th Anniversary Mantle. So, when it was my turn to be searched, I quickly brought out my mantle and tied it around my neck. As I got to them, they were blind and could not see me nor open their mouth to ask me for anything as I walked pass them. None of my items was taken away from me. I give God all the glory for that exemption.”

Testifier: Austin Okorie

8. PERSISTENT FEVER TERMINATED VIA THE COMMUNION

"My daughter, Monjolaoluwa Taiwo, aged 1year 9months, had been experiencing high temperature for some time, resulting in sleepless nights and persistent thirsts as she would wake up about five times every night to drink water. I was not a member of this church but saw a Zonal Fellowship Centre close to where I live, and decided to join.

I attended the service on 6th July, 2016 with my baby. That Wednesday, after listening to Papa’s message, my level of faith increased. I partook of the Communion and also gave my daughter. When we got home that night, she had a sound sleep and didn’t wake up as usual. Now, she doesn’t experience any discomfort, the temperature is normal. I have come to give God all the glory.”

Testifier: Taiwo kemi

9. Delivered From A Robbery Attacked Through The Mantle

“On June 24th, 2016, I was about travelling for the burial of my in-law in Oburu, Ebonyi State when the Spirit of God reminded me of the Mantle; I had already worn one of the two pairs of trousers where I always put my mantle. We left for the journey. It was a night bus and when we got to Ijebu Ode, we were attacked by robbers around 12 mid-night. Everybody including the driver started jumping out of the bus and running for safety.  I was about doing same when the Spirit stopped me from jumping out of the double decker bus. I brought out my mantle and declared that it should work for me the way it did for Elisha.  The robbers came around the bus but could not enter. God gave us victory.”

Testifier: Bro. Nnamdi  O

10. ONE YEAR OF MOVING OBJECT HEALED

“I had suffered from a moving object in my body for about one year. On Wednesday august 3rd I keyed to the prophetic word which says “I won’t go back with any of my problems”. I took the communion; I danced and praised God, afterward by time I woke up the following day; the moving object had disappeared.”

Testifier: Bro Rowland Benjamin

(Part Two) Bishop Oyedepo @ 62: 62 Powerful Quotes of Bishop David Oyedepo (Quotes on Kingdom Advancement | Kingdom Service | Soul-Winning | Spiritual Stewardship…)

Bishop David Oyedepo

CLICK HERE TO READ PART ONE

26. As we all know, there is no software for prayers, neither one for reaching out to the lost but going after them practically and spiritually. In the same vein, there is no software for bringing people to church but going out to compel them to come until there is no more room in the inn.

27. Commit to serving the Lord. When you give God your strength, He gives you back His strength.

28. Jesus is still saying: ‘Let me ride on your back and you will enjoy my honour. When you are carrying Jesus, nothing can hurt you.

29. Divine health is the entitlement of every soul-winner: Jesus, the all-round physician, becomes your personal physician. (See John 15:2)

30. The peace of God that passes all understanding becomes the portion of every soul-winner.” (See Mk.4:37-39)

31. Jesus is still saying to us today: ‘let me have your boat and you will have my blessings; give me your time, and you will have access to my timeless blessings; give me your skills and you will qualify for my endless favours; give me your strength and you will command exploits.” (See Lk.5v1-8)

32. If winning souls doesn't make you excited, I don't know what else will. He that sits in the heavenly places shall laugh. If what gets heaven excited doesn't get you excited, what else will? The heavens rejoice over one soul that gives their life to Christ.

33. Among the blessing of soul winning is sound health. Whatever represents an assault on your health is swallowed up.

34. Seeking God first is the master key to every door of life. Matthew 6:33 is the master key of life. I saw it about 40 years ago. There's no impossible case against Matthew 6:33. So anyone who signs up...this year marks the end of your struggles in life. If you will buy into Matthew 6:33, you will not only be married, you will have children at the time you desire, and you will see your children's children...

35. Get all of your new converts and ask them to come with their friends to show that they love them. Tell them Jesus heals all manner of sicknesses and diseases here, and you will be shocked how many of them will show up. The harvest field is over ripe, all you need is to shake the tree and the fruits will start falling. 

36. When you hit God’s benchmark, your job will be looking for you. They will Google your name just to give you a job. Focus on hitting God’s benchmark. If you engage to the level that He expects then you must see His hands. You are nearer than ever, so keep pressing. If your investment is genuine, you must see returns. 

37. Reward is on results obtained not on participation. It is HE THAT REAPETH, not he that goeth out. (See John 4:36) 

38. God does not reward groups, He pays individuals. So get ready for your pay, a very fat pay from God.

39. All soul winners are gospel marketers. If they don't buy from you, you don't get any commission. (See Luke 7:16)

40. You get hooked up to God to an extent that He won't wait for you to ask before He answers.” (See Isaiah 65:4)

41. There are two levels of returns in soul-winning namely: the reward realm and the enthronement realm...He that reapeth receives wages, but he that CONTINUES is enthroned. (See Luke 22:35; 28-30)

42. God's benchmark differs from one individual unto another... unto whom much is given, much is also expected. What that much is, is determined by God. If your MUCH MARK is 10 and you have 7 already, stop clapping for yourself until you get to 10. Until your cloud is full, your rain will not drop.

43. Until anyone's cloud is full, His rain will never fall. We must keep filling our cloud until it's full enough to result into showers of rain – praying for souls to be saved, and established, praying for church growth, reaching out to more souls, following them so hard until they are established in the faith. Just one more step, and suddenly, the rain will start dropping. We must get there in Jesus name. (See Eccl. 11:3)

44. The master must meet us on duty when He comes down with our prizes.” (See Matthew 24:45-46)

45. Seek for a partner that will keep you going consistently; He sent them two by two. 

46. I knew in stewardship lies the greatness of my destiny.

47. When you are truly in service, you are dangerously defended.

48. Serving God protects. It preserves and defends us; Serving God pays both in time and in eternity. 

49. God specializes in granting open rewards to every secret labour. (See Matthew 6:6, 17-18)

50. Matthew 6:24-33: This is my greatest discovery in faith. This is what gives me assurance of the future that is stronger than the present.

51. One of the proofs of acceptable stewardship is Favour. If favour is not there, check whether your service is acceptable. (See Daniel 6:20) 

52. Kingdom stewardship is a private investment. The testimonies reveal whose service is acceptable and whose is not. 

53. It is not inviting people that brings them; it is praying the satanic hold that holds people to be broken that brings them. (See Luke 11:22) 

54. Supernatural church growth is impossible without your prayer investment. Thank God for gospel raids but thank God for the PRAYER RAIDS which empowers the gospel raids. 

55. You birth them in prayer, and sustain them with prayers. Every other thing is foolery. (See Isaiah 5:26; Acts 2:6; 2Kings 7:4-7) 

56. Everyone that's a part of the multiplication becomes a partaker of the glorification. 

57. Matthew 6:33 is the scripture that guarantees the future of every Christian. 

58. Every input has returns, but spiritual input has everlasting returns (See Proverbs 14:23) 

59. A redeemed soul is the most valuable treasure to God on the earth. (See Matthew 16:26; Romans 8:32) 

60. Every soul-winner is on God's payroll. (See John 4:36, Luke 22:35; Exodus 23:25-6) 

61. WHEN LAXITY is engaged in the season of harvest, it ends up in reproach. Our diligence is the pathway to our distinction. (See Proverbs 10:5) 

62. Serving God is classified as business. Voluntary service has no profit...Stewardship to God is a decision made by man. God will never choose for you, God will only enable your choice. (See Luke 2:49. Romans 12:11; Joshua 24:15...)

Mama Faith Oyedepo's Birthday Message to Her Husband - Our Father - Bishop David Oyedepo @ 62

Bishop David & Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo

"Sixty two (62) years ago, on this particular historic day, saw the birth of a great giant. A man predestined by God to liberate mankind from the oppression of the devil. A man with unwavering faith and devotion to God, the Kingdom and his family. One that has proven beyond reasonable doubt to be an exemplary leader, a visionary, mentor, prophet, father and friend; one whom I am privileged to be married to. 

Today on this extra special day, I celebrate you my husband, the love of my life … the passion of my heart … my friend … my companion … my husband … my lord.

I cannot stop thanking you for coming into my life and showing me the God kind of love.

With you, I have learnt more than I imagined. You’ve helped me to see that there is so much more to believe in. You have loved me so dear and opened my eyes to see new possibilities in unearthing my potentials. Together, God has enabled us to raise enviable children who are all now Kingdom giants in our lifetime to His glory! 

You are an unparalleled man of valour. Surely, the grace of God will keep multiplying upon your life and ministry in new and greater dimensions in Jesus’ name. 

Life has become extra special since you entered my world. Every day I awake renewed by the thought and constant echo of your love!

Many men have done valiantly, but thou, my husband, my darling, the husband of my youth, excellest them all. We shall yet do greater things for God and His Kingdom!

Congratulations and happy birthday darling husband, father, friend, teacher, mentor and lover!"

8000+ SOULS BASH FOR BISHOP OYEDEPO @ 62

Many worshippers were stunned by the absence of Bishop David Oyedepo from the service at Faith Tabernacle - Canaanland, Ota on Sunday 25th September 2016. This is not a usual occurrence at the headquarters of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, as the spiritual leader has always remained on duty these past 35 years in ministry. Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr, the Resident Pastor effectively mounted the rostrum for the five services of the day with a running theme: "On the way to my high places’.

However, none of Jesus’ ardent followers through His servant can feign ignorance to the uniqueness of the month of September in the commission - celebration of various revelations as well as the presiding Bishop’s birthday. 

On September 12^th, 1976 young David Olaniyi Oyedepo, basking in the euphoria of his newly found “jackpot of life” in Mathew 6 verse 33, made his fiancée then Miss Florence Abiola to co-sign a covenant making him to turn his back on everything in the world to face God squarely.

At the fortieth year of this discovery, the architect-turned preacher says he has never seen such a mass salvation of souls in the streets, harvesting 8,626 souls between February 15 and September 18, 2016 with over 5,000 already established in church.

Some of Papa's converts who always 'mark attendance' at the Honour Entrance, Faith Tabernacle

The cleric ‘fished’ in the streets of Ota, preaching the gospel to those one won't ordinarily imagine he would have time for - roadside mechanics, tipper drivers, market women, okada riders, and the likes. And this was neither on a crusade ground nor Christian meeting but a personal drive - the common way of evangelizing; knocking at people’s doors, accosting them on the streets or shops to share the Good News, armed with his newly acquired pair of megaphones.

Bishop David Oyedepo

These figures don’t include the proceeds of Bishop Oyedepo’s global evangelism, criss-crossing West and central Africa before jetting into the United States of America for a tour in Houston, New York, Maryland among others, where the celebrant, accompanied by wife will mark his 62nd birthday today with Dr Kenneth Copeland.

Bishop Oyedepo @ 62: 62 Powerful Quotes of Bishop David Oyedepo (Part One: Quotes on Divine Wisdom | Word practice | Obedience)

1. God is helpless without your obedience. Write it down. It is obedience to the truth that triggers the miraculous.

2. There are no men of timber and calibre here. Everyone is a covenant timber and calibre.

3. The blessing of Deuteronomy 28 is anchored in verse 1. If you miss verse 1, every other thing is just rhetoric, saying or chanting something you don't even understand.

4. Every discovery leads to access to your recovery...Don’t look at what somebody else is doing, do what you have been asked to do; and engage with it as if you are the only one who heard it. Because He does not reward groups, He rewards individuals.

5. God doesn’t discriminate – He chooses you based on what you have chosen.

6. There may not be a scientific link between water and wine but if He says fill the pots with water, that's where your answer lies. You may have a swimming pool in your house, but if He says go to Jordan to wash, that's where your answer lies.

7. Even if I lay legs on you, it can’t change your position without obedience. The greatest benefit in redemption lies in stewardship. (See Ex. 23:25; Job 36:11)

8. The devil is not your problem; your not being in partnership with Christ is your problem. Take your eyes off the devil.

9. Wisdom is knowing the right thing to do from the Word and doing it. You seek one thing to gain command of all other things...that’s why I call it a covenant jackpot.

10. Those who walk do so by common sense; those who run, run by principles; and those who fly, fly by instructions. That’s why at the Aviation school, you have instructors, not professors.

11. The eagle doesn’t flap its wings – it goes with the wind. If you go where the Spirit of God is going, you don’t struggle.

12. When you are in partnership with God, he that walketh with the wise shall be wise. You begin to walk on the frequency of heaven’s wisdom. You can't be walking in God’s wisdom and be having crises at home!

13. We have over-celebrated common sense, that’s why we miss out of divine sense (divine wisdom).

14. God is helpless without your obedience. Write it down. It is obedience to the truth that triggers the miraculous.

15. The Word does not work because we preach it; it does not work because we quote it; it does not work because we love it; it works because we DO it.

16. Every drug has an expiry date except the Word.

17. Every other book is made up of letters; the Bible is made up of wonders. And part of the wonders is divine nature.

18. Now tell me, what is a man doing with 2 cars when he is only just starting a business? Meanwhile, he is all over the place looking for capital. He is committing a capital sin!

19. There's no technicality in confession. Practice word addiction, confession becomes natural.

20. The eagle has unusual strength…eat the lion’s meal which is the gospel of Christ. Go for the ‘treated’ Word of the Lord…generate enough heat to chase the devil out of your life.

21. There is no way you can use scientific measures to understand the truth of the gospel, because it is far above it. Science cannot authenticate the truth. God says: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways (Isaiah 55:8). That is why we cannot use the wisdom of this world to authenticate the truth of God’s word. You have to be spiritually minded to grasp the things of God. Embrace the ‘foolishness’ of the gospel, so that your wisdom can be established upon the earth, because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and His weakness is stronger than men. So whatever He tells you to do, do it, or you keep going in circles.

22. I always take it all and swallow it raw when God speaks to me.

23. A Covenant is an unbreakable platform, you either subscribe to its terms or you remain on the same spot. Since I subscribed to the Covenant, I have never suffered any financial stress. You are angry with me, that's your problem.

24. You don't need an eighteen-hour vision to fulfill your glorious destiny; you just need to catch your own picture on the pages of Scriptures.

25. Life is an adventure in opportunities. Your access to the top lies in your delightsome obedience to His words. (See Deut. 28:1)

BISHOP OYEDEPO @ 62: Some Thought-Provoking Things About “Brother David” in His Early Days

Bishop David Oyedepo @ 62

Bishop David Oyedepo, the President, Living Faith Church Worldwide also known as Winners’ Chapel, clocks 62 today. He was born on September 27, 1954. As w all already know, he was not born a Bishop or Papa, as he's fondly known and called today. He crawled, played on sand, ran around without clothes as most kids do. However, he also did a few things differently as a little child, which form the crux of this piece dedicated to his 62nd birthday. Let’s take a journey back to when he was still a small boy – yes, a small boy!

Heavenly Race: As far back as 1964 at age 10, young David Olaniyi Oyedepo, had started fantasizing about heaven (based on heaven-based stories he had heard), and he wanted to be there by all means. (No be today this man like heaven!) So, he made a child-like attempt to ‘relocate’ by running towards the horizon that always looks like heaven, touching the earth, until he (and his co-traveler kid friend) met an old man who sent them back.

Love For The Gospel: Between age 10 and 12, (1964 – 1966), he was already ‘practicing’ preaching using his grandmother’s living room as church and her soup cupboard as podium – and he had about 5 children as ‘congregation.’ That was even before he discovered the "Jackpot" of Matthew 6:33, a story for another day.

The Rod of Moses: At that same age, and based on biblical stories he had heard, he asked a carpenter to make a Moses-kind-of-rod for him – to ‘divide’ the Red Sea and take people to the Promised Land (And later in his life, God would hand him The Mandate, to liberate the world from all oppression of the devil...)

Change of Status: At 15, he got saved – and till today, he remembers when (February 19, 1969), where, and through whom (Betty Lasher). 

Tuberculosis Destroyed: In September that same year, having been a victim of tuberculosis, he woke up one night and discovered that his dormitory mates had moved away from his space because he coughed very badly. And he took a step of faith: went out and stood on a little rock behind the hostel; called on Jesus The Christ, saying, ‘Jesus, if it is true that you did all those miracles that I read about in the New Testament, do it again…” That was the end of TB…at age 15! His testimony: “He set me free from tuberculosis in 1969 and I'm free forever, for whatever the Lord does shall be forever".

Dignity of Labour: At 16, he earned his first money, having learnt the virtues of the dignity of labour from his maternal grandmother, the late Mrs. Rachael Adeyiola Odetundun. Though he was comfortable, he just needed to learn how to earn – at 16! Well, he didn’t forget to ‘spoil’ himself a little with his hard-earned money: he bought himself a pair of "in vogue" shoes called ‘Apollo’.

Conference at 16: He attended his first Christian conference in March 1970 at age 16 – and he still remembers the theme till today: "God is not slow."

Bishop David & Pastor Mrs Faith Oyedepo

The Miracle @ 16: In 1970, his younger brother had died of measles but he won’t take that. He made his mother put the ‘dead’ child on her back and led her to an uncompleted building where he laid the child down, prayed, called on Jesus, and the child jerked back to life.

The Assignment: When in 1973 he was asked to relieve a teacher who was due for maternity leave, he jumped at it. It was at a village in Kwara State. The first thing he noticed when he got there was no single church, not even the ubiquitous Catholic Church! He went into action: First, he prayed, “Lord, let me never leave this village the same way I met it; Lord, put your name in this village.” And 40 days later, a church building was already in place. On his last day there, he got a prophetic gift (a lantern) from the elders of the village with these words: “Silver or gold we have not, but we give you this lamp. Let the light that you brought to our village shine round the world.” That light is still shinning, even brighter today!

Prayer, Like Food: From 1971, he was already a student leader organizing special prayer meetings in his school. “Prayer was indeed like food to me,” he wrote in THE MANDATE, one of his books. 

The 'Jackpot of Life': In 1976, at age 22, he had an encounter with the Holy Spirit in Matthew 6:33 as revealed to him: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God… and all these things that others are dying to get shall be added onto you.” That revelation is still liberating many today - seeking ONE THING and gaining command over ALL OTHER THINGS!

Young Pastor David Oyedepo

THERE'S HOPE FOR BOTH THE YOUNG AND NOT-SO-YOUNG!
As we all rejoice with God's servant, if you have gone past the aforementioned ages, no need to worry; you can start from where you are. God is all you need to have all your needs met. If you are still a teenager, don’t let that word “teenager” limit you; you can do all things through Christ. And no matter how old, if you are not born-again yet, take that step today.

(Part 3) These Can Only Be God: August 2016 Testimonies (Recorded Live at the Honour Entrance, Faith Tabernacle)

MIRACLE JOB AFTER WOFBI

"I lost my job in 2013, that same year I became a part of this commission.  I sowed my infinity jeep as a seed to God and in 2015 I got a job as a chief engineer in the vessel. In the course of the job, I was kidnapped. After a month, we were miraculously released by the kidnappers through God's intervention though I lost the job. In January 2016, I focused on the fasting and prayer and I increased mine to 30 days as against the 21 days. Thereafter I got a job as a Chief Engineer of another company. Later, I lost that job then I told my wife I was going to attend the LCC WOFBI program. Four days after I started the LCC, I was called by a white man whom I worked with 5years ago. I met with him last week Friday and he asked me to be the Co-owner of his company. I give God all the glory."

DIVINE FAVOUR VIA PROPHETIC BLESSINGS

"During one of the Shiloh services, my colleagues and I did a logo and dedicated it to Papa, he asked us to lie down and he prayed for us. He declared that we will go like pillars around the world. I had an issue with my leg which was bowed and my parents had tried to do the operation in the country twice when I was about 11 years, but the surgeries were not successful. I was opportune to travel to Europe and I was called for a surgery on the leg which I didn't pay for. The surgery was successful and the leg is now okay. I give God all the glory for granting me strength all through the period and perfecting the surgery.

Testifier: Fidelis Eyorobo

SUPERNATURAL DELIVERY VIA THE COMMUNION

"I was 10 months overdue for delivery of my child, the Doctor said I would have to undergo CS because my blood level was very low and the placenta was very weak, I told God I will come back to testify if he delivers me. One of my sisters who is a member of this church gave me communion, I took it and my blood level began to increase. 

On the 5th of July 2016, God helped me and I delivered my baby safely.  After the delivery, there was still some bleeding and I kept shouting "Blood of Jesus Christ speak for me". Suddenly, the blood seized.  I have come to give all the glory to God for delivering me without blood transfusion.

Testifier: Chika Success Edwin

DELIVERED FROM DEATH DURING CHILDBIRTH

"God saved me from the dungeon of death after so many years of childlessness, I finally got pregnant in 2015 during the prophetic Wonder Double season and it was the same period I joined the Sanctuary Unit.  After that, I gave birth in January this year through CS, I practically passed on but God brought me back. I kept hearing Papa's voice telling me to declare to myself that I would not die and my baby would not die. After the surgery, they forgot the stitching rope in my body. A few months later, it started swelling and bringing out pus. They told me they were going to operate me again, but to the glory of God while they were cleaning it to bring out the pus they got the head of the rope and started drawing it out and that was the end. I have come to return the glory to God for keeping me alive and keeping my daughter alive.

Testifier: Ruth Friday

DIVINE FAVOUR VIA KINGDOM STEWARDSHIP

"During the 21 days fasting and prayers, I asked God to grant me a multi-million deal contract via my album and I named the marketers I actually wanted. During the Covenant Hour of Prayer, Papa said if you want to see the raw manifestation of the power of God we should switch over our prayer to Kingdom-focused prayers so I obeyed according to Deuteronomy 28. Now God has granted my request and I'm here to return all the glory to Him."

Testifier: Sunday Wilson

DIVINE CAREER BREAKTHROUGH

"I want to thank God for my successful graduation. At the peak of my academic Career, I came through a lot of challenges but I thank God that today I am the first graduate in my family. Praise the Lord!"

Testifier: Stephen Odoh

MIRACULOUS JOB

"I want to thank God for granting me divine favor, I have been going for interviews and I have never been called back even when I run their trainings and write exams. Recently, I went for an interview, among the people that were picked for the job, God favored me. I was invited last Sunday of last month and on Tuesday morning, I was called that the job I was interviewed for was waiting for me. I am grateful to God for giving me such miracle, which I had never witnessed in my life before. I want to return all the glory to God!"

Testifier: Kelechi Sunday

GOD DELIVERED MY FATHER FROM STRANGE ILLNESS!

"I am here to testify to the goodness of God in my life. I joined this great commission on January 1, 2015. A long time ago, my dad had an accident and since then, he has been behaving abnormal. Luckily for me, I joined Faith Tabernacle on one anointing service day and heard the Bishop said every curse in our families must be broken this moment, I keyed into it and began to pray. I never knew my prayers had an effect in my mom’s village where the wicked ones there began to die.

On a call to enlist in the operation “Possess the land” declared by Bishop Oyedepo, I joined the rescue squad and engaged in the proclaimed seven-day prayer and fasting from May 30- June 5th, 2016.

I prayed to God to heal my father and surprisingly, I got a call from my cousin that my dad was doing great like never before. I was so excited by the news that indeed God of Oyedepo really answers prayer. To God be all the glory!"

Testifier: Elizabeth Ojehuwa

                                    SAVED FROM A CAR ACCIDENT!

"On Friday, 15th July, I was on my way to the office in the morning, I alighted at Yaba because I wanted to do something, my mantle was in my bag but later, I brought it out and put it inside my right pocket. I was on the walkway but before I knew it, a Sienna car flew down from nowhere. I did not even expect it, it almost knocked me down but thank God I was having the mantle in my right pocket and that was the side the car wanted to hit me. Before I raised up my head, I saw the car inside the fence. This incident took place at Yaba Health Centre. I thank God I was not knocked down and nothing happened to me. I give all the glory to God!"
