TRANSCRIPT
There is way out of hard times and I trust that you will
take the gateway out when you know where it is.
Therefore, by virtue of your study of this message, you
will locate that gate in the name of Jesus. The covenant
of seedtime and harvest is the secret behind our
exemption in hard times. No seed in the ground means
there is no harvest in view.
Malachi 3:10
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there
may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith,
saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not
destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine
cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith
the LORD of hosts”
If you want God to rebuke devourers for your sake, you
have to work in the covenant.
Malachi 4:1
“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be
stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up,
saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither
root nor branch.But unto you that fear my name shall the
Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and
ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”
The covenant of seedtime and harvest is the gateway to
supernatural blessings. These are blessings that are beyond
the imagination of this world. Many people have wasted
opportunities to sow seed because they are giving with
donation mentality rather than giving with a covenant
mentality. A covenant mentality touches heaven.
1 Kings 3:3—“And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in
the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and
burnt incense in high places.”
Consider the life of Solomon; he loved the Lord and
showed his love through several burnt offerings. His
sacrifices touched heaven and caused God to visit him and
ask him what he wanted. When you prove your ability of
giving to God, you provoke God’s ability to meet all your
needs.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his
heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for
God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all
grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all
sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”

Our seed is not a financial donation to help God or the
church. Our seed sown is a spiritual transaction for
provoking divine favour over our lives. Therefore, do not
give with the intention you are helping the church. The
giving is for you. Some people tend to compete with their
neighbours as to what to give so that they can be noticed.
Such giving is a waste and not a covenant transaction.
CHANNELS OF THE COVENANT OF SEEDTIME
AND HARVEST
1. Tithing
Tithing is key to a world of supernatural blessing. Your
tithe is the tenth of what God has blessed you with.
Tithing qualifies you for outpouring and preservation of
blessings.
Malachi 3:10—“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.”
3. Worship Offering
God teaches us to be responsible. The same way we go to
a restaurant and give tips when you have received a good
service from the waiter, when God blesses you,
acknowledge it and give back to God in form of an
offering.
Deuteronomy 16:16
“Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before
the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in
the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks,
and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear
before the LORD empty Every man shall give as he is able,
according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he
hath given thee.”
4. Giving towards God’s Kingdom
The advancement of God’s kingdom is your own
advancement. David gave to build the house of God even
though God had told him he wouldn’t be the one to build
it. Others would have been excited they were not going to
build it because it means they could keep their money.
Instead of such mentality, David gave and God showed up
for him.
Psalm 102:13—“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon
Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is
come.”
5. Rearing an Altar of Sacrifice
Solomon reared an altar of sacrifice by burning thousands
of offerings to God. The offering was referred to as a
sweat smelling savour to God. When God smells
something good, He comes down by Himself. God shall
come down by Himself on your behalf in the name of
Jesus.
6. Giving to the Poor
Any kind of giving you engage at whatever level will
always return back to you.
Psalm 41:1—“Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.”
There are various battles going on around you that you
might not be able to see with your physical eyes but God
will fight for you if you help the poor.
RESURRECTION SERVICE
The knowledge of the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ is the gateway to power.
Ephesians 1:18—“The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his
calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance
in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his
power to us-ward who believe, according to the working
of his mighty power.”
The power of His resurrection is ordained for supernatural
change of position. Let me share this testimony with you,
when I was in Massachusetts, a call came from the
National Pastor saying he just got a call from someone in
England who had a family member in a hospital in
Massachusetts who had been in comma for two weeks.
The request was for someone to go to the hospital and
pray for him. As the Resident Pastor in Massachusetts, I
went to the hospital with the intention of laying hands and
administering the anointing oil and mantle. When I got to
the hospital, I was told I could not go in to be with him
because of the medical procedure going on. I requested to
stay at the door of the room because I had the
understanding from the Word. I prayed and left. Later that
day, his mother called and said the boy had started
moving. Brethren, when there is no understanding, your
word carries no power. Hence, you must seek to
understand and have knowledge of Him.
Revelation 1:18—“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and,
behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys
of hell and of death.”
BENEFITS OF HIS RESURRECTION
1. It translated us from corruption to in-corruption
1 Cor 15:42—“So also is the resurrection of the dead. It
is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption”
Ephesians 2:1—“And you hath he quickened, who were
dead in trespasses and sins.”
“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” - Isaiah 8:16
The sin of Adam was what corrupted us but the moment
you believe Jesus that sin is lifted off.
Romans 8:1 - “There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.”
2. It took us from captivity to liberty
3. We are changed from sickness to health
4. It takes us from poverty to reaches
Revelation 5:12
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and
strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”
2 Corinthians 8:9
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich.”
5. It takes us from defeat to breakthrough
Matthew 5:13—“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the
salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It
is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to
be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the
world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
6. It takes us from death to life
Hebrews 2:14—“Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took
part of the same; that through death he might destroy him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil. And deliver
them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.”
Jesus died for you therefore no death can tamper with you
in the name of Jesus.
7. Resurrection confers dominion over satan and his
cohorts
When Smith Wigglesworth of blessed memory was con-
fronted with a satanic structure in his living room, he
wasn’t afraid. Rather he just turned off the light and went
back to bed because he knows the dominion he carries
over the devil.
Ephesians 2:6—“And hath raised us up together, and
made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
Papa, Jesus Gave Me Brand New Lungs I travelled in the year 2012 to the United Kingdom for my
masters and I came back two years later believing God
tuberculosis and complicated bronchitis. This news
shattered me greatly. I was reduced to 35kg in weight
from 68kg, my PVC dropped to 25 and I had to be
transfused. It took the grace of God upon this commission
for me not to have died during the transfusion. After about
6 months of medication (Category 1), I was told there was
still traces so I had to be placed on an additional 8 month
medication (Category 2). After the CAT 2, I dreaded
going for a final X ray without being sure that I had
received my miracle healing. So, during the second phase
of the Wonder Double Agenda, I keyed in vigorously with
my sister and some covenant prayer partners asking God
for a new pair of lungs by going for morning raids and
engaging in midnight prayer sessions for the Kingdom.
During the Thursday (08-10-15) Spiritual week of
emphasis, I prayed and believed God trusting Him for the
delivery of my new lungs as I had gone for the final X ray
a week before. I went home believing God that whatever
miracle that had taken place in me would be reflected in
the X ray result that I was yet to see. I went back to the
clinic the following day and according to the Doctor, she
said “this result is not a normal one, because it is not
normal for a patient that has undergone CAT 1 and CAT 2
to come back with a normal chest examination result
without lesions. My dear, you need to share your
testimony". Now I can walk through a troop and leap over
the wall because I'm back to normal health. I'm now
ready for my miracle job. Indeed Matthew 6:33 works.

Supernatural Promotion I want to give this testimony to the glory of God for the
shadow of my father The Bishop brought about multiple
career promotion.
Last year August 2016, I moved to another organisation,
expecting my confirmation in six months. The Sixth
month happened to be during the 21 days fasting & prayer
of 2017. I brought the confirmation document to church
on Sunday February 5, 2017.
Meanwhile, my colleagues in the office said to me that the
MD will not sign the promotion because so many staff
have been denied such in the past, but I told them that My
case is different.
Between February 6 and April 8, the document was taken
back and forth from the Head of Human Capital to Deputy
Managing Director and the Managing Director without
signing. But my faith was so strong, praying kingdom
advancement prayers every day between 3.00am
- 5.00am. I intensified the prayer during this ongoing
Operation Push and speaking boldly about it whenever
anyone ask about it in the office. Behold, on April 9, 2017,
the document was signed & the promotion was confirmed
by the Managing Director to be effective February 15,
2017 when the shadow of his servant cast on the document
and everyone says this is God. By the confirmation, I have
been moved three levels above my colleagues in the
industry to a managerial position. My salary has been
elevated to the realm of 8 digits. I give all the glory and
honour to the Almighty God who called my master - the
Bishop David Oyedepo. - ADETUTU A. D.
