The thickness of darkness has no capacity to resist the

shining of light. Scripture recounts, in a prison where

there was darkness all around, the light shone when the

angel of the Lord appeared. Therefore, I pray for you that

your oppression days are over in the name of Jesus.

Acts 12:7—“And, behold, the angel of the Lord came

upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote

Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up

quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.”

Isaiah 60:1—“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the

glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”

HOW DO WE ACCESS REVELATION?

1. Through the help of the Holy Spirit

Consider this analogy, in the oil exploration industry,

there was a technology invented called a handheld

infrared spectrometer. With this instrument, it became a

lot easier to locate oil deposits and quantify it. Similarly,

as soon as the Holy Spirit comes onboard your life, He

brings all things to your spiritual understanding. As you

engage the Holy Spirit, you will have revelation in the

name of Jesus.

John 14:26

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the

Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all

things, and bring all things to your remembrance,

whatsoever I have said unto you.”

When you have revelation, you have comfort. From this

teaching series, I pray you will discover the solution to that

problem that might be confronting you in the name of

Jesus 1 Corinthians 2:9

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

neither have entered into the heart of man, the things

which God hath prepared for them that love him.

2. Through a hearty search of the Word

Isaiah 26:9—”With my soul have I desired thee in the

night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:

for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of

the world will learn righteousness.”

Proverbs 20:27—“The spirit of man is the candle of

the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”

When the solution comes after you have truly searched

with your heart, you must shout for joy. If you truly get a

revelation, you cannot carry an outward appearance of

depression.

Luke 15:7-9

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over

one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine

just persons, which need no repentance. Either what

woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,

doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek

diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she

calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying,

Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had

lost.”

Bishop David Oyedepo engaged the Holy Ghost in the

search for the key to prosperity. He settled down with the

Bible and a book authored by Kenneth Copland. He began

to search by reading and meditating until he found his

answer. Once he received the revelation, he immediately

shouted with joy saying, “I can never be poor.” This day,

the Holy Spirit will guide you to the solution you desire in

the name of Jesus.

Amongst other things, revelation empowers our escape

from things that afflict the world around us. When there is

revelation, whatever affects others around us is not

permitted to affect us because we are engaging revelation.

John 8:32—“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth

shall make you free.”

Remember this month is our month of revelation by the

Word. It is what you know that sets you free from

bondage. It is the revelation of the truth that exempts you

from that situation and I see God opening your spiritual

eyes to the revelation you need in the name of Jesus.

Isaiah 60:1—“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the

glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”

WHAT TO DO TO COMMAND OPEN DOORS

1. Be born again

If your spirit man is dead, the Holy Ghost cannot connect

with you. It is the connection between your spirit and the

Holy Ghost that opens you up to revelation.

1 John 5:4—“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh

the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the

world, even our faith.”

2. Engage the power of revelation

What is the purpose of light if it does not shine in

darkness? Until the light is used and engaged, darkness

will always continue to reign.

Isaiah 5:13

“Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because

they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are

famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.”

Isaiah 60:1-3—“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and

the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the

darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the

people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory

shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy

light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”

If you lack revelation, things will be dry. It is the

revelation that you have that draws others to you.

3. Engage a quality covenant walk with God

God is a God of covenant and as you engage Him via His

covenant, everything will work for you in accordance to

His will. God has vowed never to break His covenant.

Psalm 89:34—“My covenant will I not break, nor alter

the thing that is gone out of my lips.”

Jeremiah 33:20—“Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break

my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and

that there should not be day and night in their season.

Then may also my covenant be broken with David my

servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his

throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.”

If you do not walk in God’s covenant as regards

prosperity, lack and want will have its way with you.

Deuteronomy 8:18—“But thou shalt remember

the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get

wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware

unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”

Malachi 3:8-10

“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,

Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye

are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this

whole nation. 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.

The moment we remember to engage God in the covenant

of offering and tithing, He will open the doors of heaven

and shower us with blessings. All you need to do is fulfil

your responsibilities and God will do His. Empowerment

connotes exemption from financial hardship.

Malachi 3:17

“And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that

day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a

man spareth his own son that serveth him.”

It is walking in a covenant that makes God to spare you in

the time of trouble.

4. Be guided by the Holy Spirit

When you are led, if there is no door, God will create one

for you just like He led the Israelites through the red sea.

Therefore, I see God creating a door for you where there

is none in the name of Jesus.

Isaiah 48:17

“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to

“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” - Isaiah 8:16

profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest

go.”

If you are born again, you are entitled to be led by the

Spirit.

Romans 8:14—“For as many as are led by the Spirit of

God, they are the sons of God.”

5. Commit to kingdom stewardship

Matthew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his

righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto

you.”

Job 36:11—“If they obey and serve him, they shall spend

their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”

6. Walk by faith

Matthew 7:7—“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and

ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

You have to walk by faith to get every door you knock on

to be opened up to you.

Mark 9:23—“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe,

all things are possible to him that believeth.”

You are a spirit-being hence expected to walk by faith

and not by sight. During an all-night service many years

ago, Bishop was told that the gas in the generator had

finished. Instead of instructing them to turn it off, he told

them to leave it running and God sustained it until the end

of the service. How did it happen? We do not know but

he had enough faith in God to know that God will keep it

running.

7. Engage the anointing of the Holy Ghost

Isaiah 61:1—“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me;

because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good

tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the

broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and

the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”

Luke 4:14—“And Jesus returned in the power of the

Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him

through all the region round about.”

The moment you are anointed, you can never be a

mediocre again. Therefore, every form of mediocrity in

your life will be turned around in the name of Jesus.

Doors can neither shut against the anointing nor the

anointed.

Isaiah 45:1-3

“Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose

right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him;

and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the

two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will

go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I

will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder

the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of

darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou

mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy

name, am the God of Israel.”

What is the effect of anointing upon us as a church?

When shared, the gospel can never be resisted.

Acts 2:37—“Now when they heard this, they were pricked

in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the

apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

Miracle Babies via Kingdom Stewardship!

“We were married for over six years and believed God for

the fruit of the womb. In October 2015, we were

privileged to meet with the Bishop; he prayed and said,

‘Your father never struggled to have children, go and have

the child of your choice.’ Immediately, we determined in

our hearts that we were going to have twins.

At Shiloh 2015, I attended the Mothers and Fathers’ of

Nation sessions and engaged in all the instructions given

to us by the Bishop. In January 2016, Papa said that the

year will require personal engagement to have maximum

delivery of our blessings. Thus, I determined in my heart

that I was going to participate in the 21 days prayer and

fasting and was not going to miss any of the evening

services; and that I did.

When Operation Bring Many was flagged off, my

husband and I went out to preach despite the fact that I

was very strong. Then, the God of Wonder Double visited

our family. For the first time ever in six years I got

pregnant and on November 9, 2016, God gave us

Ayomide Josephine and Ayomiposi Daniela. To Him be

all the glory!” Mr. & Mrs. Ademola Adeyeye

My Case Is Exceptionally Different!

“I relocated to the U.K. in October 2016 to join my

husband and I began to apply for a job. During the

crossover service, Bishop David Oyedepo preached about

what we stand to gain by being obedient and in

conclusion, he prophesied that many new chapters would

be opened to us in 2017 as God manifests Himself.

Then, I redeemed my Shiloh Sacrifice and prayed for the

influx of jobs declaring that I would have a challenge with

which one to choose. Miraculously, in just four months of

relocating to the U.K. from Nigeria, God opened the

floodgates of Heaven and answered my prayers.

I was blessed with two job offers from top banks in the

U.K.; Barclays Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland. The year

2017 is indeed my year of noiseless breakthroughs. I return

all glory, honour, power and praise to the miracle worker, the

unchangeable changer, breaking protocols and operating in

ways we cannot explain! Praise the Lord!”Osarogie Ukato

Cancer Disappeared

This Sunday makes it exactly six weeks of joining this great

commission. The Sunday that precedes my coming to this

Church, I had been to the hospital for a routine check-up and

it was found by the doctor that there was a lump on my

breast. Which confirmed my fear of having breast cancer.

Hence, have had history of cancer running through my

family, had lost four of my siblings to same and currently my

aunt and uncle are suffering from cancer. The sad experience

triggered fear in me that I could be the next. While pondering

on the doctor's report, a sister invited me to this church for

Sunday service. I was given a prophetic mantle which I

placed it on the spot with the lump before the next scheduled

visit. When I went to see the doctor, he carried out the test

and with sinister of confused look on his face; He called other

3 doctors to reconfirm his findings and they did. Bewildered

by his findings; the doctor asked me if “I had gone to see

other doctor prior to his appointment”? I replied have only be

praying to God. He advised that he has to do another

mammogram which he did, and he showed me the x-ray of no

any trace of lump. Indeed, I have finally found a church, I'm a

living proof of the tremendous power of God's healing here;

fear is taken off me. Totally free from any trace of cancer in

my breast.
