TRANSCRIPT
In this kingdom, no one can ever make a difference
without empowerment.
1 Corinthians 4:20
“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.”
You and I must be empowered to make a difference,
therefore we shall be empowered to make a difference in
all of our endeavours in Jesus’ name.
We discover in Scriptures that there are four levels of
empowerment.
Ezekiel 47:5
“Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river
that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen,
waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.”
The previous verse before the fifth verse of the book of
Ezekiel 47 tells us about measurements at the ankle level,
the knee level, the loin level and finally the level of
overflow which can no longer be measured and that is the
level we are all going to in the name of Jesus Christ.
Luke 4:1
“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from
Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.”
Somebody’s level shall graduate dramatically at the end
of this twenty one days prayer and fasting in Jesus’ name.
WHAT ARE THE LEVELS OF EMPOWERMENT?
1. Power level (Luke 24:49
2. Great power Level (Acts 4:33)
3. Exceeding great power (Ephesians 1:18)
4. The power of the world to come (Hebrews 6:5)
Jesus Christ practically demonstrated the power of the
world to come.
Revelation 5:5-6—“And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root
of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of
the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the
elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven
horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God
are sent forth into all the earth.”
Jesus Christ operated in this level of empowerment and
because you are connected to Jesus Christ, you too shall
operate at this level of power in Jesus’ name. Jesus had
dominion over fish in the sea; Peter toiled all night and
caught nothing because his level of power was small, but
when Jesus arrived on the scene, fish gathered to the point
that Peter’s net broke. Peter had to beckon to other
fishermen to help him. Therefore, you will experience
accelerated flight in business in the name of Jesus.
However, you cannot live the heaven on earth lifestyle

without empowerment. In the rest of this text, you will
discover how to connect with this level of empowerment.
HOW TO CONNECT WITH EMPOWERMENT
THROUGH PRAYER AND FASTING
Don’t forget, if you can pay the price, you will gain access
to change of level in the school of power.
Throughout this month, we will be studying the different
dimensions of the Spirit and they are:
1. The Spirit of the Lord
2. The Spirit of Revelation
3. The Spirit of Might
4. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
Jesus Christ could not make any difference until He was
empowered. He was an ordinary carpenter’s son, but when
He went into fasting and prayer, His level changed. In
order for you and I to make a difference, we must change
levels through empowerment.
ENGAGING THE SPIRIT OF LOVE
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.”
The question is: Do you love Him? If you do love God,
uncommon and favourable things will be happening to you
according to 1 Corinthians 2:9. If you truly love God,
there is nothing God cannot do for you. Somebody who
works as a registered nurse went to work one day and
everybody was told to go to their desks and expect an
email. A lot of people were laid off, but this woman of
God was exempted. In this season, everyone in this
assembly shall be exempted from all forms of evil in the
name of Jesus. There was a testimony of another person
who had a shop amongst other shops that were all built
next to each other. There was an incident that involved a
tanker caring flammable product which toppled over and
resulted in a fire outbreak. Amongst all of the shops that
were burnt, this woman’s shop was exempted.
Ephesians 3:17—“ That Christ may dwell in your hearts
by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may
be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled
with all the fullness of God.”
WHAT IS LOVE FOR GOD?
Love can be defined as:
1. A God-first lifestyle meaning to put God first in all
that you do.
2. A kingdom priority lifestyle meaning to seek the
good of the Kingdom unconditionally.
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you.
3. Placing God above all else including self.
Paul and Silas exalted God despite their predicament and
God stepped in for them. In a similar way, God will step
in for you in the name of Jesus. A lady who had a big boil
on the face and suffered from elephantiasis, despite her
current situation, went out to win souls for God because
she was grounded in the love for God. The evil swelling
of her leg diminished and she was set free.
4. Loving what God loves and hating what God hates.
Proverbs 6:17-19—“A proud look, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth
wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to
mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that
soweth discord among brethren.”
WHAT VIRTUES ARE IN LOVE?
1. Love empowers our access to revelations.
There are many things which are hidden that God will
only reveal to those that love Him.
2. Love empowers our faith to deliver.
If you do not have love, your faith can not work.
3. Love makes us indestructible.
Let me share a quick testimony with you, our father in the
Lord, Bishop David Oyedepo loves God and is focused
completely on the work of God. A group of 4 people came
together to plan evil against him. God began to deal with
them; the first born of an individual was involved in an
accident and died. The second and third individuals also
experienced a loss. The last man involved ran to the
Bishop to confess so that he also would not get punished.
Brethren, because you love God, anyone planning evil
against you will meet with their end in the name of Jesus
Christ.
4. Love empowers our giving life.
In this commission, we do not force anyone to pay their
tithe rather we teach you to understand the benefits of
paying tithes. There was a testimony about tithing. A man
said in his testimony that through his engagement in
tithing, God opened up windows of provision for him to
be able to pay off all his debts to the point that he now
saves. When we do not pay our tithe, the devourers are
“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” - Isaiah 8:16
open to attack everything about us.
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.”
5. Love is a failure-proof force.
If you love God, you do not need to be afraid of anything
because no matter the situation around you, exemption is
always your portion in the name of Jesus.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE WHAT GOD
LOVES?
God loves the life of lost souls the most.
John 3:16—“For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
If God can give His only son to come and save the lost
that means we to should love the same thing and seek
after lost souls needing redemption. Remember our
agenda this year is one soul per month for every Winner.
Therefore, ask God for that one soul and he will grant it
to you.
Psalm 2:8—“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen
for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth
for thy possession.”
HIV Positive Turned Negative At Shiloh 2016
I want to give all the glory to God of Bishop David
Oyedepo for changing my blood status by destroying the
yoke of HIV VIRUS from my blood. I have lived with
HIV for six (6) years now, myself and my husband
continued to pray to God for divine intervention for my
healing, but each time I go for test the result remains
positive. I then stopped going for further tests, I didn’t
allow the situation to affect my service to God, I always
reminded God of His word in (Exodus 23: 25 – 26).
When the Wonder Double Agenda was declared, I
engaged vigorously in the various Outreaches winning
souls for Jesus Christ, and I also intensified my effort of
engagement at the Wonder Double Operation, Go
Forward! as declared. During the last week of the
Operation Go Forward, I notice that I started excreting
substance like bunch of ropes-like dead flat worms
whitish in colour, I didn’t know God had started removing
the virus from my body. At the last Pre-Shiloh anointing
service, as the oil was passed I dipped my hand into the
plate and scooped a large quantity of the oil and drank it,
immediately I started feeling movements inside my
tommy and when I got home I excreted the same large
bunch worm like rope whitish substance again. I came to
Shiloh 2016 and I attended the 1st day of the healing
class, I dived at this instruction and went straight to the
Lab, singing praise and thanking God for my healing. I
went for the result the next day, lo and behold for the first
time the result was HIV NEGATIVE and all the
symptoms had disappeared. SIS Anene E.E
Delivered From Destruction!
“Praise the Lord, I am here to give God the glory because
the devil tried two years ago but he failed. After Shiloh
2014, on my way home, I was involved in an accident and
was confirmed dead for some hours. In my unconscious
state I heard Papa’s voice say “You are not permitted to
die. Come back.” After some hours, I came back to life. I
learnt that I was dead and they were only waiting for Road
Safety team to come and take my corpse to the mortuary.
Thereafter, I was rushed to the hospital and the doctor
confirmed that four of my ribs were broken and I
wouldn’t be able walk again but I told the doctor that the
report is not mine because only God has the finally say. I
was discharged because, according to the doctor, my
condition was very critical and there was nothing they
could do about it.
After the One Night with the King service, I was in the
house but couldn’t connect with the service but I keyed
into the word that Papa declared. On New Year day, I
heard Papa’s voice, ‘You can get up from that sick bed.’
So, I got up. Since that day till now, I am healthy and
strong to the glory of God!” Jummia Y.
Divine Promotion via Kingdom-Focused Prayers!
“After my encounter at Shiloh 2015, I heard Bishop
Oyedepo emphasize the power of a Kingdom-driven life
in the making of any great destiny. So, I decided to throw
my whole being in the pursuit of Kingdom interest in
2016.
During the Sunday Service preceding the 2016, 21-day
Prayer and Fasting season, the Bishop instructed that we
package ourselves for undeniable encounters during the
programme. When I got home that day, I sat down with
God, my encounter note from Shiloh 2015 and my Bible
as part of my packaging to maximize the prayer and
fasting season. This resulted in a 12-point prophetic
statement why I must change levels in 2016 from Shiloh
2015 catch-up moments. I also generated seven Kingdom-
centred prayer requests which included praying for the
outburst of our WSF attendance where I serve as a
minister. Then I knew my time has finally come for a
change of level.
Equipped with these discoveries, I asked for a two-day
break from work to be part of the 21 days of prayer and
fasting kick-off. I invested the first two days in praying for
replication of my WSF center. Then, I resumed to my
office on the third day (13th January, 2016) to meet a letter
waiting on my desk with my name on it.
On opening it, lo and behold, it was a letter of promotion
which has added almost N200, 000 to my basic salary
without calling anyone. I give all the glory to the God of
Quantum leaps for confirming the words of His servant
over my life so fast!” ---Macluke N.
‘SS’ Turned ‘AA!
“My genotype has never been an issue until when marriage
was in view. It became a burden in my heart.
During the 21-day prayer and fasting, I keyed into
everything the Bishop said. On the 4th day, the Bishop
declared that, ‘SS’ was turning to ‘AA’. I keyed into it.
When I got home that day, I prayed then brought out my
expectation card and ticked the prayer point as answered.
After the last Breakthrough service, I had a conviction in
my heart to check my genotype. I stopped at a laboratory
for the test and when the result came out, God had changed
my story. I am now ‘AA’! Praise the Lord!”---Gift, A.

That is, are you BORN AGAIN?
If your answer is ‘NO’, or you are
not sure, please pray this prayer
