I HAD 423 NEW CONVERTS FROM MY PERSONAL OUTREACH LAST WEEK EXCLUDING CHILDREN.

THE THINGS I TEACH ARE THE THINGS I DO AND THEY ARE WORKING FOR ME.

THOSE WHO CLAIM NOT TO HAVE TIME TO ATTEND FELLOWSHIP DON'T GENUINELY LOVE GOD.

GIVING IS A PROOF OF THE SINCERITY OF OUR LOVE FOR GOD.

- Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE (2A) at Covenant Day Of Marital Breakthrough Service || 13th July 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || Part E

Now, “he that walks with the wise shall be wise”; when you are a soul winner, you are in Jesus’ company - He is walking with you. Proverbs 13:20. The more you are in love, the wiser you become. Mark 16:20. So when you are in love with Jesus, you are out on the go for Him, you are walking with Him and you will get wiser by the day. Church Gist. All soul winners here know that your utterance keeps scaling up as you go from place to place because of the wisdom of God that's flowing through that companion (relationship).

We were in a place yesterday, we saw 80 adults gave their life to Christ. Well for your information by the grace of God, I had 423 souls this week and that's with about 60 or more extra to those adults. Church Gist. The things I teach are the things I do and you can see it's working for me. It's working. Yesterday, I attended to people from various countries that came just for a touch.

- My prayer is that this season will mark the dawning of a new day in your walk with God in the name of Jesus!
- May each one get wiser by the day as we keep demonstrating our love for Jesus in all areas of our lives in Jesus name!

What Are Some of The Proofs of True Love?
1. If we love Him, we will remain committed to reaching out to the lost (we have said a bit of that). Psalm 119:46, Jeremiah 20:9.

2. If we are in love with God, we will be committed naturally to fellowship. You are not struggling; you are naturally committed to fellowship. “I don't have time” - it's not part of your deal. You are eager to be in His presence and behold His face. Psalm 84:1-2...that’s what happens when you are in love with God. Church Gist. You are naturally addicted to fellowship. Naturally! You are not struggling, it flows out of you. You want to be there. You are not going there to meet people, you are going there to meet God.

“Wherever two or three are gathered together, there am I in their midst.” So when you are in love with Him, being with Him becomes a joy. You are eager, you want to be there. Church Gist. David said, “I was glad when they said to me, come, let us go to the House of the Lord.” I'm sure his protocol officers are the ones responsible: “your majesty, it's time for fellowship - gentlemen, I'm gone.” Psalm 122:1. Every true lover craves to be in His presence. Psalm 84:2.

One day, I was challenged. I had some weakness in my body long before I was called to ministry and I said, “if I can only get to fellowship, this thing will clear.” So I waggled my way to be there and they said, “Brother David, you are leading the prayer tonight.” And in our time, leading prayer is not this 5 minutes you go and come back; you stand there. Church Gist. It was an all-night prayer. Jesus healed me, operated on me; I was going home after that, I was hearing cracking sound. My bones were falling into place.

Fellowship is not meeting with Brother John, Brother Joseph; fellowship is meeting with Jesus. Don't play with it. When you were on the other side, when the herbalist tells you to come by 1a.m, you go there. They say, “you mustn't talk to anybody, you mustn't tell your wife when you are leaving home.” You obey all his instructions to go and meet the devil. Church Gist. Hebrews 10:25...it becomes of much more importance as we are heading for the end time where the wicked shall do more wickedly.

- Somebody's story is changing!

It's a vital proof of being in love with Jesus. You are in love with fellowship. Church Gist. It stirs you up and you are there always for an encounter with Jesus.

Examples of Love Made Breakthrough Personalities In Scriptures

1. Esther. Esther took her life in her hand to approach the King uninvited. Now, by the law of the Land that equals death except the King points the golden sceptre to that individual. Love for God which translated to love for His people gave Esther her place in destiny. Church Gist. “If I perish, I perish” - she exclaimed. Esther 4:16, And by Esther 7:1-10, God visited and Esther 8:1-7, judgement concluded; all Jews were set free not one died. But the one calculating their death had to be hung.

2. David. David, a man after God's own heart, was a tireless giver to prove the sincerity of his love. 1 Chronicles 29:3. Church Gist. He was such a tireless giver and giving is a proof of the sincerity of our love for God. God so loved the World, He gave.

- Everyone that is involved in advancing the Kingdom of God with their God given resources, you will never know dryness in your life!

It's the way it works all of the time. It was passion that drove him to Goliath. “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the army of the living God?” Church Gist. That was what drove him, not reward - not for reward and he brought him down.

3. Paul the Apostle was all out for Christ and the Gospel to prove His love for God. He grew to become a giant among the Apostles and the effect is all over. Church Gist. He wrote about half of the New Testament. Unusual access to light!

- In the precious name of Jesus, the giant in you will not go to the grave with you!
- Your love for God will cause that giant in you to come alive in the name of Jesus Christ!

SOME PEOPLE SEIZED OUR PROPERTY IN ANOTHER NATION THROUGH A STRONG MAFIA.

BUT GOD GAVE US VICTORY! THE PROPERTY IS NOW READY FOR DEDICATION.

WHO WOULD BELIEVE THAT WE WERE ONCE ONLY FOUR IN THIS CHURCH?

IN THE RACE OF LIFE, THERE IS NO CHAMPION WITHOUT CHALLENGES.

- Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE (2A) at Covenant Day Of Marital Breakthrough Service || 13th July 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || Part D

Every true lover of Jesus emerges more than a conqueror in every battle if he sustains his love for God. The problem now is, people are challenged and they disconnect from God. Now, who will help them? Their challenges manipulated them to disconnect from God their Helper, so where will there help come? Church Gist. Job stayed through and came through. Isaiah 43:2. There is no champion in the race of life without challenges. Champions are made out of challenges. It's like a student crying during an exam, they say why, he says "Exam, exam has come. (crying)" You know that's a problem. Genesis 22:1. He (Abraham) passed the test.

Now, who would believe here that this Church was once 4 and then 6 and then 10, all kinds of things along the line, but no disconnection, no disconnect. You see us celebrating 10 people, you'll be wondering, are they mad? No disconnect. Total income of this Ministry 1984 for the whole year was 18,000 plus. Church Gist. You have heard that too many times. No need to say, 'It should have been working now' Are you the one to set the exam? How can you set the exam and be marking it yourself? Yet, I've signed a Covenant of Love since 1976. I heard a call in a broad vision 1981 and He said go ahead to Church ministry, 1983 and the Church is crawling 1984, yet the love is burning. Wake up my friend, wake up!

- Somebody's story is changing.

Don't let challenges cower you. You're in command. With the love of God at work in your heart, you're in command. Don't let challenges cower you. Church Gist. You're in command with the love of God in your heart. Every true lover of Jesus emerges more than a conqueror from every battle. You can't kill love. Songs of Solomon 8:7.

- Somebody's story is changing.
- May your love remain unbreakable.
- May your love for God remain unbreakable.
- May your own love for God remain unbreakable.

What is in love that engenders breakthrough? Please, listen.

1. Our love for God enhances access to revelation. Every true lover of God accesses revelation without stress. Revelation is not a product of mental exertion. Deuteronomy 29:29. Genesis 18:17. "Abraham, come. The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah has ascended to me and I've come here to destroy them" I mean, your love for God and my love for God makes us His confidant. Church Gist. He confides in us, He unveils to us what others may not access. John 15:15. Revelation flows like a river in the life of true lovers of Jesus. It flows like a river, revelation flows like a river and what is it? Behind every supernatural turnaround is access to revelation. Isaiah 60:1-3. So, when you are in love, you gain natural access to revelations. You are not struggling, when you take your Bible, light flows. Church Gist. You take a book to read, light, wow! Because you are in love. Thank you, Jesus. 2 Corinthians 3:18. Revelation changes our stories from one level of glory to another.

2. Love empowers our faith to deliver maximally. Why? Faith works by love. Our faith will deliver to the level of our love for God. 1 Corinthians 13:1,2. So, it is the quality of our love for God that defines the delivery of our faith. Church Gist. The quality of our love for God is what determines the outcome of our faith. All this is God showing us love is the master key to all-round breakthroughs in life. Amen.

3. Love facilitates answers to our prayers. When you are truly in love with God, you will hate to toy with what displeases God and that gives express access to our prayers. Isaiah 59:1,2. Psalm 66:18,19. When we turn from whatever God hates, line of access in prayer is opened. Church Gist. David committed a grevious sin but he repented and now verily, God has heard him. Every true lover is fast at repentance. Thank you Jesus. That blind man said, "I know that know God heareth not the prayer of sinners. I know. Whether I be a sinner or not, I know not. Once I was blind, now I can see. But I know God heareth not sinners." When you are in love, you are all out to want to please Him at all times.

4. Finally, Love enhances access to wisdom from above. Paul the Lover was acknowledged by the Apostles as a man of wisdom. Romans 8:35-37. 2 Peter 3:15. The Apostle recognised him as a man of wisdom. He is in love. You know, when you are in love, you dwell in God and God in you and our God is the only wise God, now He lives in you. Church Gist. So, you have the right answer. Many times, silence is the best answer for victory. Praise God! Silence is the best answer for victory. There was a year we had an issue in a particular nation where through a strong mafia, they seized our property and had a court judgement that we are not the owner of the property and so, they called me and I said, God is big enough to defend Himself. No mention, no nothing, silence. No contact with anybody under Heaven. Silence! And God stood up to it. Now the property is ready for dedication. Church Gist. Glorious victory! I saw the picture this last week of the new structure we are building there. God fought the battle like no man else can. He fought and won the battle in grand style. There was no contact with anybody. God stood in there. The wisdom of God is a mighty weapon of war.

I WAS A BOY BUT I WAS READING THE BOOK: “THE MAN GOD USES” AND I CAUGHT FIRE FROM MATTHEW 6:33.

IN 1976, GOD REVEALED THE JACKPOT OF LIFE TO ME. I EMBRACED IT AND SIGNED THE COVENANT WITH HIM.

I HAD NO CALLING TO MINISTRY BUT MY HEART KEPT PANTING FOR GOD LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

WHEN GOD BECOMES YOUR ALL IN ALL, YOU'RE SET FOR ACCESS TO THE TOPMOST TOP IN LIFE.

GOD KNOWS WHETHER WE ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM OR NOT. LET'S STOP PLAYING GAMES.

- Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE (2A) at Covenant Day Of Marital Breakthrough Service || 13th July 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || Part C

David, the lover, was a marvel. They couldn't find anyone in that family to be enthroned than to send it to a young boy that was keeping the sheep. Church Gist. A marvel. Psalm 71:7. Every true lover is made a wonder unto many.

-That's how the world will start wondering about you.

David, the lover, was a wonder unto many but God was his refuge, a strong refuge. That is the lot of every lover. “Eyes have not seen.” That's a wonder. “Ears have not heard.” That's a wonder. 1 Chronicles 28:4. “I won His favour by my heart for Him. He liked me to make me king.” Church Gist. People like you, that's okay but when God likes you, it shows. “He liked me.” “I've found a man after my own heart.” “He found me with a heart for Him, He liked me and made me king.”

-He would make something out of your life.

Interestingly, God knows whether we are in love with Him or not. Let's stop playing games, God knows. Jeremiah 17:9-10. God knows whether we are truly in love with Him or not. “They draw near Me with their mouth but their heart is far from Me.” Church Gist. God knows whether we are truly in love with Him or not. Isaiah 29:13. 1 Corinthians 8:3. God knows whether you are in love or not. He knows whether I am in love or not. God knows! No hiding place.

-As we partake of this Communion today, may everyone's heart turn fully back to God.

John 8:29. Now, not only God knows. So, everybody knows what is in him. Nobody else may (know) but you should know, I should know. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. Church Gist. So your spirit knows what is in you: “Am I truly in love or am I just putting up a show?” Now, Jesus now came down and clarified it. “By their fruits, you shall know them.” Matthew 7:16-20.

-From now, it would be clear to the world around you that you are genuinely in love with God.

This is so important, this is so vital. I found myself in it. (In) 1976, He revealed the jackpot of life to me. I embraced it and signed the Covenant with Him. I had no calling to ministry but my heart kept panting for God like never before. That's why I brought the books for the month for you. Church Gist. It was through the Book of Oswald J. Smith that the love for God caught fire in my soul. The Book is titled: “The Man God Uses.” I was a boy but I was reading the Book of “the Man” and I caught fire from Matthew 6:33. You know what? When you connect anointed resources, the Spirit of the source enters into you.

-It's time to connect!

You can't read “Passion For Souls” and not catch fire for passion for the lost. “Wonders of Kingdom Stewardship”, you can't get tired of pursuing after God if you catch what is in it. Church Gist. “Following The Path Of The Eagles”, you have no choice because if you don't follow His leadings you are going nowhere. This is the way to go. And “Ruling Your World.” These materials will help to steer up a new wavelength in your walk with God.

What is love?
Love for God in our context implies the following:
1. Placing God above all else including yourself.
Luke 14:26. The word ‘hatred’ there is just a relative word. Church Gist. You don't love Me more than you love your father, your mother and yourself; you'll be limited. When God becomes your all in all, you're set for access to the topmost top in life.

2. A Kingdom-priority lifestyle.
Matthew 6:32. I guarantee you Jesus said, if you seek first the interest of My Kingdom, the advancement of My Kingdom, all these things that others are dying to get shall be added to you. Church Gist. What an adventure. Job 1:8. Job 13:15. Yes, he was challenged but he gloriously triumphed. The latter end of Job was brighter, far brighter than before.

-You may have been challenged, you are coming out!

If you retain your love, you will emerge more than a conqueror. Romans 8:35-37. Every true lover emerges more than a conqueror from every battle.
