He has done great things, praise His holy name. God has suprised my sister and I. He has taken us from the pit to the throne. I'm sure you remember how God changed the status of Esther from an ordinary citizen to a Queen overnight. Do your remember the story of Joseph? Joseph also had an overnight transition. He was a Prisoner and the next moment he attained the position of a Govenor.
Glory to God!

True Dedication!
Bishop Oyedepo said and I quote, " You can't be sold out to God and not stand out in life."
" When your stand with God is defined, God's committment is provoked."
Glory to God!

God Has Disappointed The Devil Again...
THE LIBERATION MANDATE VALIDATED
The nation of Liberia witnessed a spiritual tornado, as Bishop David Oyedepo, the apostle of faith invaded the city of Monrovia, Liberia from the 20th-22nd, July, 2009, with over 14,000 people giving their lives to Christ in a 2-day outreach and over 31,000 people jammed into a 20,000 capacity stadium. Among others a blind woman regained her sight while the praise and worship was going on. To God be all the glory.
However, the following outstanding testimony was captured in the National Chronicle of Friday July 24, 2009, a national Newspaper in Monrovia, Liberia.
“QUEEN OF SHEBA” FLEES LIBERIA - GOD ONCE MORE TRIUMPHS OVER SATAN The National Chronicle of Friday July 24, 2009 reports of the unceremonious departure of the “Queen of Sheba” from Liberia following the Empowerment Summit and crusade held by a known Nigerian Preacher, President and Founder of Winners’ Chapel International at the ATS and HQ of the church in Liberia.
“Queen of Sheba” is known as the infamous follower of Lucifer and has for the past 46years practiced deep and superior Satanism. The paper reported that the queen has been coroneted with blood on three different occasions in 1995, 2003 and 2007 when she was enthroned as matriarch of the sovereign imperial empress of a special cult called the African Nubian nation.
Her arrival at the invitation of certain groups and traditional leaders in Liberia had raised concern in some Christian quarters but it took the arrival of Bishop David Oyedepo and the thrilling crusade to send the queen of witches hurriedly scuttling out of Liberia. The Queen of Sheba’s visit was planned to last for an extended period of time but her sudden departure has raised eyebrows and left people wondering as to what must have hit her.
The Bishop made a declaration in one of the evening crusade “cast the devil out of Liberia for prosperity”, and the next day the so-called “Queen of Sheba” left the country without the fanfare that attended her arrival. She was lodging in the hotel where the Bishop was lodging in and immediately the Bishop step on the hotel ground, the “Queen of Sheba” immediately packed out of the hotel without the hotel authorities knowing, on her way to the airport.
Most leaders of the Pentecostal Movement in Liberia are full of praises to God for this triumph over Satan. Bishop Dortus Doe of the Deliverance Life Ministry Arena was one of the leaders of the Church in Liberia who could not hide his delight about the news of the departure of this blood-thirsty sorceress.
It is interesting that a late surge of crowd arrived at the ATS on the evening of Wednesday 22nd July 2009 to attend the empowerment summit not knowing that the programme ended Wednesday morning and there was no Evening Session that day. Thank God for victory over Satan once again. To God be all the glory!

Refuse To Be Intimidated!
Refuse To Be Intimidated! By Bishop David Abioye (Living Faith Church AkA Winners Chapel Abuja)
"Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand..." (Judges 14:5-6). Samson was going on a journey when a lion roared at him. Rather then turn back, he killed the lion and continued his journey. At every instance of your journey in life, satan will attempt to scare you and make you turn back from getting to your goal. He will come roaring like a lion, wanting to intimidate you, but the Bible says in proverbs 22:13, "The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets." That is what keeps some people rooted to one spot in life -- intimidation; the fear of the unknown. While their colleagues are aiming high and doing great exploits, they keep living at their mercy, begging for bread and water because they would not dare anything.
At another time, at Lehi, the philistines shouted against Samson, this time attempting to intimidate and weaken him. But the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he slew one thousand of them with the fresh jaw bone of an ass. Maybe that is the same way people have been mocking and castigating you, all you need to prove them wrong is a heart of courage, a heart of confidence and boldness to pursue and possess all your possessions.
Look, you don't need one million naira to start building a house, what you need is courage. Maybe you have been trying to start a business and satan has been intimidating you, telling you that you can't make it except you get some huge capital. That is a lie! The first capital you need is courage; you need a heart that is determined to do it. Start from somewhere because as long as you remain waiting on that spot, you will keep wasting. Be courageous, start confronting your oppositions, move towards your fear and you will discover that what you fear can become meat for you.
When the lion roared against Samson, he didn't withdraw, he went against it and slew it. So, when issues of life threaten you, go against them. The spirit of courage is the spirit that dares what others don't move close to, it is the spirit of possibility, the spirit that makes things work irrespective of who or what is standing on the way. It is the spirit that despises the helps of men in order to ride on the wings of God's help.
When the lion came against Samson, he never call for help from his father or mother even though they were nearby, he killed the lion by the help of God. Look, if you don't have personal conflicts, you can never have personal testimonies. Stop hiding under relations and human connections, step out and face that lion that is roaring at you! For your information, the help of God is available only for those who take steps. It is only when you step out that you will discover you have what it takes to kill the lion that has been scaring and intimidating you.
Meditate on these: Exodus 14:15-16, Isaiah 41:13

It Requires A Push!
I bow my head to Him for the great opportunity He has given me to share His Word with you.
Nothing happens by accident but by a push. We came into the world by a push through a labor birth; we didn't jump down from heaven. Everything in heaven, earth and under the earth came into existence when God made a push-He released the Word. If you go through the book of Genesis Chaper 1, you will see, " God said...God said..." Until God said it, things were without form and void. If the Most High God had to make a push then we are not exempted. We all want testimonies, we all love victories and the good things of life but all these things will remain a mere wish until we make a push. How do I make a push? You make a push by releasing the Word. What is the Word? The Word is God. The bible says in John 1 : 1,
" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Loose your blessing by His Word. That nagging situation is waiting to hear the Word from your mouth. If only you will release the Word, that unwanted circumstance will become a history. I'm sure you know that we have enemies-even new born babies do....Remember the birth of Jesus and how King Herod was after him? ( Matthew 2: 1-13) A friend of mine,an unbeliever who I have lost touch with said he doesn't have enemies. He said," I'm not after anyone, noone is after me. I just live my life for I have no enemies"...hmm, has he heard teh story of Jesus? What an empty barrell! There are people out there trying to stop your blessings, demons are out to hinder your testimonies-the devil is a wicked devil and he's out for you. You need to be ready for war at all times. In this end time, we can't afford to be lazy, we need to move just like King David. David said in Psalm 18:37-
" I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till
they were destroyed.
I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me
those who rose up against me.
You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who
hated me. "
Don't let go of the Word! When your forget the Word, your destiny is at stake. Haven't you heard that your must be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). If you lose out in this battle, you are to be blamed. I lost out some years ago and I blamed not a soul for my ignorance but myself. OH Goodness! The enemy tampered with my destiny based on my ignorance. I escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler when my eyes were opened to see the deep things of God, I became addicted to God and His Word-In His Word I mediatate day and night. Children of God, If anything is wrong somewhere, don't question God, question yourself for God is forever faithful. 1Timothy 2:13 says,
"If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself."
We all can see that God is forever faithful:far be it from Him to do wickedness. If is is not good, it is not God. Heb 4:12 states, " For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Halleluyah to God in the highest! He has given you the Word to war with, the ball is in your court.
Glory to God!

Unbelievable!
It's very hard to comprehend why evil resides in the hearts of Human beings. They laugh with you this moment but they have plans to kill you the next minute-this is abnormal! Most of the time, people rejoice over the failure rathern that the success of others -this is highly abnormal! I've always known that a thing of such exists but up until now, it hadn't crossed my mind until I heard the story of Jim who had plans to kill his mother...yes, his own biological mother.The devil is a wicked devil and he has deposited his DNA in the hearts of sinners. Jim, a squatter, left his house to present his mother who is a Spirit-filled Christian with a white clothing material. Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit:it was revealed that the clothing was meant for his mother's burial. The Word of God has prevailed. Please go with me to the book of Isa 54:15;
"Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather
together against thee shall fall for thy sake."
Glory to God for His faithfulness. He has disappointed the kingdom of darkness for the sake of the Saint, the mother of Jim
The bible says that there shall be no mercy for the wicked (Psalm 59:5). If a man could sit back and plan the death of his mother through diabolical means, I'm sure you will agree with me that such a man must be dealt with by God.
Glory to God!

Our Dedication Is Speaking...
God has done it again! He has suprised my family yet again:I give Him thanks and praise for His marvellous works.
I'm yet to see a man of faith who has been left stranded by God. The woman with the issue of blood was delivered (Mat 9:20-22), blind Bartimaeus' sight was restored (Mark 10:46-52), Jesus healed Palsy in Capernaum (Mark 2:1-5) and many more scenerios in the Bible. Nothing moves God but faith.
I thank God that my family's faith in His divine restoration manifested in our lives. When my sister and I heard the testimony of what God has done in our family, we couldn't help but bow our faces down to God to celebrate His faithfullness. My Parents are Spirit-filled Christians-they both said something about my sister and I that made my spirit jump for joy. My father said, " There is noone who seeks God like you and your sister that won't encounter miracles." My Mother said, " God has answered your prayers-God always answer your (my sister and I) prayers and this testimony that we have is just the beginning-it shows that all our prayer requests has been fulfilled."
What can I say but glorify Him. In early July, my sister and I did something differently. We started interceding mightly for the Kingdom of God, the saints in the Vineyard, the ministers of God, the harvest of Soul for Christ, total deliverance and divine protection for God's people. We denied ourselves of things we were used to while fasting and prayer-we became addicted to God and His vineyard. The bible says in Matthew 6:33,
" But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you."
The miracle we've just encountered in my family had long been waited for. We refused to give up. We knew that if God won't do it, it would remain undone.
Miracles don't just happen, they are made to happen. Until you do what you have never done before, you won't see what you have never seen before. Seeing the impossible come to pass is miracle,
Many more miracles on the way because we'll keep being hot in Christ (Rev 3:16-16; .
Glory to God!

Indeed, He Is faithful!
"Can't nobody do me like Jesus,
Can't nobody do me like Him,
Can't nobody do me like Jesus,
He is my strength."
Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit(I guard my relationship with Him jealously).Sometimes last week during fasting and prayer, God told me not to think of the things of old:I thanked God for the revelation but kept on joking with it. Yesterday, God took me to Isa 43: 18-19 ,
" Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.
Behold,I will do a new thing,Now it shall spring forth;Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert."
Immediately, God dropped into my heart what He had told me last week about not thinking of the things of old. This morning while speaking in tongues and getting prepared to step out, He reminded me again. Then it got done on me that God has a reason for speaking to me about that matter.I've always joked around with the decision I had made for leaving Egypt(All by His grace) but God doesn't want that. He wants me to think of where I am right now and where He's taking me to. Now, my focus is on the Promise Land just like Joshua and Caleb had their eyes fixed on that 'Milk and Honey' Land....Halleluyah!
In Addition, glory to God in the highest for His undying love for me and my family. Words can't express how much I appreciate God for taking my family from Egypt to our Promise Land. Our souls has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers,the snare is broken, and we have escaped. This is the summary of the Yemi Ijalana's family...Praise God!

Courtship 102
When did it become God's will to marry a lazy man? A man who brags about getting his daily bread from the Landlord's daughter. A man who derives joy in owing his house rent (he appreciates God for using his Landlord's daughter). Jimmy is not searching for a job but wont stop saying," God will do it for me someday." I find it very difficult to understand this way of life. What has really surprised me is the foolishness that's been exhibited by Tonia who is getting ready to marry this lazy man. Tonia saw fire and is getting ready to enter into it. Hoping that she'll quench the furnace fire while in it. What a pity!
At creation, we saw God as a worker. Jesus came, we saw Him as a worker too. Abraham came, and at 75 years of age, we still saw him working. Isaac and Jacob also came, and we saw them as workers. Now, who are you going to resemble, going about idling? Idleness is a self-inflicted curse.
There is no future for the idle in the kingdom. I'm sure you all know what the bible says about a lazy man. II Thes 3:18 says,
"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work,
neither shall he eat."
If a lazy man must not eat, then who says a lazy man must get married? I don't get it. Yet Tonia said that this lazy bone is God's choice. Proverb 10 : 4 states,
" He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich."
I can see the reason behind Jimmy's poverty-laziness. The sciptures cannot be broken. It's high time we stopped deceiving ourselves with "God said this, God said that".The dreams and visions most people have can't be find in the scripture. If it's from God, examples will be located in the bible. The Word of God is God's will. We must desist from lying to ourselves. Children of God, please stop nonsense!
If the dreams/visions is not according to His Word, then it's not from God.
Brethen, please know the mind of God concerning a relationship before getting into one. There is danger in marrying the wrong person.
Glory to God!

" He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich."
I can see the reason behind Jimmy's poverty-laziness. The sciptures cannot be broken. It's high time we stopped deceiving ourselves with "God said this, God said that".The dreams and visions most people have can't be find in the scripture. If it's from God, examples will be located in the bible. The Word of God is God's will. We must desist from lying to ourselves. Children of God, please stop nonsense!
If the dreams/visions is not according to His Word, then it's not from God.
Brethen, please know the mind of God concerning a relationship before getting into one. There is danger in marrying the wrong person.
Glory to God!

Vision Is Powerful!
A life without a vision will end up in a pit but when a vision is unraveled, the throne is inevitable.
A genuine vision comes from God. It takes discovering His plan and purpose for your life to emerge a star. Vision don't come by wishing thinking but by seeking His face.
Nehemiah was a man of vision. He was in great sadness when he heard that the walls of Jerusalem was broken down and its gates were burned down with fire, he decided to rebuild it ( Neh 2:4). Men of vision are destinies rebuilder. No matter how dead a situation is, it will take a vision from God to resurrect it. Many will mock and ridicule you when you are preparing for the God-given vision but it takes confronting "the Sanballats and the Tobiahs" with a Lion-heart in God to fulfil destiny. Nehemiah said,
" So I answered them, and said to them, " The God of heaven Himself will prosper us
and therefore, we His servants will arise and build...Neh 2:20"
It's time for the god in us to start manifesting (Psalm 82:6). It may interest you know that no devil have the right to stop you from fulfilling destiny. When you are in pursuit of your vision, oppostions will arise, problems will come up-circumstance will try to discourage you. Don't be afraid! Let the book of Isa 54:15 be your focus-It says;
" Behold, they shall surely they gather together, but not be Me; whoever shall gather
together aginst thee shall fall for they sake."
The God who has given you that vision will surely see your through. The fulfillment of a vision requires hardwork. Until you are violent in the spirit, your vision will not come to pass. Nehemiah prayed earnestly against Sanballat and Tobiah when they despised his vision for the rebuilt of the walls of Jerusalem ( Neh 4: 1-23). Friends, let's stop overlooking things that are rising against God's plan in our lives-attack them violently in the spirit:turn into a ferocious Lion (Matthew 11:12). Nehemiah didn't relent in strenght until the walls of Jerusalem was completely built ( Neh 6: 1-19) Don't relax for your adversary, the devil is always on the move. Hear what the bible says in 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
Only those who thirst for God's vision for their lives, will rise as saviours in their generation

Courage For Conquest! By Bishop David Abioye
In Romans 8:37 the Bible says, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Take note of the phrase, “through Christ.” That means, without Christ we will remain continually in crises. Christianity is nothing but enjoying the finished works of Christ. Our conquest is guaranteed only when we are rooted in Christ. But to enjoy conquests in the conflicts of life, you need the spirit of courage, the spirit that refuses to be intimidated by oppositions.
There are two prefixes that are used to qualify the word ‘courage’, one is discouragement and the other is encouragement. However, it is your attitude that determines the side to which you belong. If you have a negative perspective to life, you will naturally become discouraged. The word ‘discourage’ simply means reduced courage. On the other hand, if you have a positive perspective to life, you will become encouraged, and the word ‘encourage’ means enhanced or increased courage.
How do you build up your courage? It is by looking at your situation from the perspective of scriptures; refusing to be intimidated by your circumstances. Courage is the factor that enables you to withstand the enemy. Isaiah 59:19 says, “…When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” Courage is the spirit that sets up a standard against the enemy.

Oppositions and battles of life are meant to serve as triggers to God’s anointing in you. The best of God’s anointing is displayed when you are confronted. David said in Psalm 68:1, “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered.” So, God does not arise until the enemy appears. You don’t invite a man to battle when there is no challenge from the opposition. But the best of God always appears when the worst enemy appears.
Look at the story of Samson in Judges 14:1-6. He was going with his parents for a marriage ceremony, not hurting or abusing anybody, but suddenly, at the vine yard of Timnah, a young lion roared against him. In the same way there are many innocent Christians, who love everybody and are always doing good, yet satan is attacking them. You don’t have to be in sin before satan attacks you. The reason you are confronted with battles is not because you are no longer in tune or in line with God, as a matter of fact, many of the battles that come your way are clear indications that you are on the path of destiny. Satan doesn’t want you to get there so he is attacking you. When the young lion roared at Samson what happened? “…The Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him (the lion) as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand…” (Judges 14:6). So, the reason God allows challenges and oppositions to come our way is so that His Spirit in us can be stirred up and instigated to go against the enemy, in order to establish our conquest. It is pressure from without that stirs up the man from within, it stirs up the spirit of courage, which makes you unstoppable.
Meditate on these: Deuteronomy 20:1-4, 1 Samuel 11:1-11

His Mercy Endures Forever!
"I'm forever grateful to You,
and I'm forever grateful for the cross,
and i'm forever grateful to You,
that You came to seek and save the lost."
Glory to God in the highest for His unfailing love and mercy forever more (Psalm 107:1) I thank God for giving me the understanding and the ability to grasp this song that was taught by my sister, God bless her heart!
I'm forever grateful to God for His mercy over my life. He moves me to tears at all times-words and actions cannot express how much I appreciate God for the gift of salvation. I join the Psalmist to declare, "Let them sacrifice of thanksgiving. And declare His works with rejoicing...(107:22)"
If It hadn't been for His mercy, what would have become of me? If you and I can think deeply of what He has done, stilling doing and many more that shall be done-we all will exalt Him deeply (Phil 4:6).
Folks, God is doing a new thing in my life; now it springs forth and I can perceive it. My God has made a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
I'm forever grateful to You.
Glory to God!
