    Mass and preface of the memorial

    Vestment: White

    Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery

    Vespers I of the solemnity of Ss Peter & Paul

    -FIRST READING-

    “Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, and Sarah shall have a son.”

    A reading from the Book of Genesis (Genesis 18:1-15)

    In those days: The Lord appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood in front of him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the earth, and said, “My lord, if I have found favour in your sight, do not pass by your servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, while I fetch a morsel of bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on — since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.” And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. Then he took curds, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “She is in the tent.” The Lord said, “I will surely return to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. So Sarah laughed to herself, saying; “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, in the spring, and Sarah shall have a son.” But Sarah denied, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Luke 1:46-47.48-49.50 and 53.54-55(R. 54b)

    R/. The Lord has remembered his mercy.
    My soul magnifies the Lord,
    And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. R/.

    For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
    For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed:
    for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name. R/.

    R/. The Lord has remembered his mercy.

    And his mercy is on those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
    He has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent empty away. R/.

    He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
    as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his posterity for ever. R/.

    ALLELUIA Matthew 8:17

    Alleluia. Christ took our infirmities and bore our diseases. Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL-

    “Many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (Matthew 8:5-17)

    At that time: As Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, begging him and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralysed at home, in terrible distress.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion answered him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard him, he marvelled, and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and quash their teeth.” And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment. And when Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever; he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him. That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

    The Gospel of the Lord.

    Today’s Reflection

    The humility of the centurion is noteworthy. His expression has been imprinted on our hearts through our Eucharistic worship when we pray: “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you…” Apart from humility, we see in the centurion the extraordinary love of one who goes to Jesus on behalf of a servant. We see his great respect; his awareness that a Jew who entered his home would be considered as defiled. We see a wise person making good use of his own experience in coming to understand others. Finally, we see the quality that amazes Jesus: his faith. We can discern a composite of virtues in the centurion. Let us reflect in gratitude upon our own stores of these qualities of heart, mind, reason and will, and how we might use them more creatively to build God’s Kingdom.

    Personal Devotional

    “For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God” Ephesians 1: 7

    - I loose myself from all heart attacks rooted in fear, and I command all spirits of fear to leave in the name of Jesus.

    - I loose myself from all diabetes rooted in rejection, self-hatred, ancestral inheritance, and guilt in the name of Jesus.

    - I break all causes of sickness and diseases, and I command all hereditary spirits of sickness of come out of me in the name of Jesus.

    - I paralyze every activities of evil parasites, immune destroyers, demonic wasters and health devourers in my life in the name of Jesus.

    Let Us Pray

    Teach us, good Lord, to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labour and not ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do your will. Amen.

    VIGIL OF S. PETER AND S. PAUL, AP.

    At the vigil Mass

    This Mass is used on the evening of 28 June, either before or after First Vespers (Evening Prayer 1) of the Solemnity.

    Entrance Antiphon

    Peter the Apostle, and Paul the teacher of the Gentiles, these have taught us your law, O Lord.

    Collect

    Grant, we pray, O Lord our God, that we may be sustained by the intercession of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, that, as through them you gave your Church the foundations of her heavenly office, so through them you may help her to eternal salvation. Through our Lord..

    -FIRST READING-

    A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3:1 -10)

    “I give you what I have, in the name of Jesus, rise and walk.”

    In those days: Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, with John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention upon them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but I give you what I have; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. And leaping up he stood and walked and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and recognised him as the one who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm19:2-3.4-5 (R. 5a)

    R/. Their sound goes forth through all the earth.

    The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
    Day unto day conveys the message
    and night unto night imparts the knowledge. R/.

    No speech, no word, whose voice goes unheeded;
    their sound goes forth through all the earth,
    their message to the utmost bounds of the world. R/.

    -SECOND READING-

    A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians (Galatians 1:11-20)

    “God set me apart before I was born.”

    Brethren: I would have you know that the Gospel which was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the Church of God violently and tried to destroy it; and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s brother. (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)

    The word of the Lord.

    ALLELUIA John 21 .17d

    Alleluia. Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL-

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (John 21:15-19)

    “Feed my lambs, feed my sheep.”

    When [Jesus had revealed himself to his disciples and] they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you fastened your own belt and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will fasten your belt for you and bring you where you do not wish to go.” (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, “Follow me.”

    The Gospel of the Lord.

    Sacred Heart of Jesus (Solemnity)

    Office: Prop., Te Deum

    Mass Proper; Gloria. Creed.

    Preface of Sacred Heart

    Vestment: White

    Today’s Rosary: Sorrowful Mystery

    Vespers II of the Most Sacred Heart

    World day of prayer for the sanctification of priests.

    -FIRST READING-

    A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 34:11—16)

    “I will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down.”

    “Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when some of his sheep have been scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the fountains, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on fat pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord GOD. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the crippled, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will watch over; I will feed them in justice.”

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 23:1-3a.3b-4.5.6 (R. 1)

    R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.

    The Lord is my shepherd;
    there is nothing I shall want.
    Fresh and green are the pastures
    where he gives me repose.
    Near restful waters he leads me;
    he revives my soul. R/.

    He guides me along the right path,
    for the sake of his name.
    Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death,
    no evil would I fear, for you are with me.
    Your crook and your staff will give me comfort. R/.

    R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.

    You have prepared a table before me
    in the sight of my foes.
    My head you have anointed with oil;
    my cup is overflowing. R/.

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life.
    In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell
    for length of days unending. R/.

    -SECOND READING-

    A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (Romans 5:5b- 11)

    “God shows his love for us.

    Brethren: God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. While we were yet helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man — though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

    The word of the Lord.

    ALLELUIA Matthew 11:29ab

    Alleluia. Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart. Alleluia.

    Or the following: John 10:14

    Alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my own, and my own know me. Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL-

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 15:3-7)

    Share my joy. I have found my lost sheep.

    At that time: Jesus told the Pharisees and the scribes this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. ’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

    The Gospel of the Lord.

    PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

    Celebrant:

    Gathered as one body of Christ on this solemnity of the sacred heart of Jesus, let us pray that our hearts may be filled with a sincere love for God and one another.

    FOR THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH: That they, aware of their missionary identity, may strive to follow Christ faithfully and to proclaim his gospel to all peoples. Let us pray to the lord.

    FOR CIVIL LEADERS: that they may strive towards building a nation in which the freedom of each person to worship according to the dictates of his or her conscience is guaranteed. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST FAITH CHRIST: that they, like the lost sheep, may be redirected to the heart of Jesus, where they will dwell forever. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR OUR CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY: that we may hunger and thirst for Jesus in the most holy Eucharist and be fed and nourished by him. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR OTHER INTENTIONS: (the sick, church projects or other activities).

    FOR THE DEAD, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF OUR PARISH COMMUNITY AND FAMILY MEMBERS: that they may find eternal rest with the Lord. We pray O Lord.

    We pray in silence for our private intentions.

    Celebrant:

    God our Father, you are king and most high over all the earth. Graciously hear the prayers we offer to you and grant that we may always enjoy the inexhaustible graces that flow from the sacred heart of Jesus. Through Christ our Lord.

    R/. Amen.


    TODAY’S REFLECTION

    In today’s Gospel, the good shepherd goes in search of the lost sheep, and, after finding it, rejoices with his neighbours. Through this parable, Jesus reveals his compassionate love towards those who go astray.

    The Sacred Heart of Jesus is also a symbol of God’s tender love, compassion and mercy. Although we claim to have faith in the Sacred Heart, we sometimes hold the mistaken belief that God is like a policeman, watching our every move and punishing us when we fail.

    Our devotion to the sacred Heart of Jesus should lead us rather to trust more in the love and forgiveness of God, who desires our salvation and well- being. As disciples of Christ, we should also make an effort to become more compassionate and forgiving towards those who go astray.

    PERSONAL DEVOTIONAL

    “But because of our sins he was wounded, beaten because of the evil we did. We are healed by the punishment he suffered, made whole by the blows he received.” Isaiah 53:5

    - Pray for God to give you the grace to accept the reality of persecution in Christian faith.

    - Father, destroy every spirit of fear in my life.

    - O Lord Jesus, banish every ignorance and sentiments within me that makes me to get discouraged when persecution comes.

    Dear Lord, do not let me be separated from you because of hardship, persecution, hunger, poverty, danger or death. Help me to remain faithful to you. (Pray seriously).

    Let Us Pray,

    O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness, and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us to have perfect trust in your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to you, we shall see your hand, your purpose, your will through all things.

    PRAYER FOR NIGERIA IN DISTRESS

    All powerful and merciful Father,
    You are the God of justice, love and peace.
    You rule over the nations of the earth.
    Power and might are in your hands and no one can withstand you.
    We present our country Nigeria before you.
    We praise and thank you for you are the source of all we have and are.
    We are sorry for all the sins we have committed
    and for the good deeds we have failed to do.
    In your loving forgiveness,
    keep us safe from the punishment we deserve.
    Lord, we are weighed down not only by uncertainties,
    but also by moral, economic and political problems.
    Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you,
    Our God of infinite goodness,
    our strength in adversity,
    our health in weakness,
    our comfort in sorrow;
    be merciful to us your people.
    Spare this nation Nigeria from chaos, anarchy and doom.
    Bless us with your kingdom of justice, love and peace.
    We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Amen.
    Friday June 27, 2025 Sacred Heart of Jesus (Solemnity) Office: Prop., Te Deum Mass Proper; Gloria. Creed. Preface of Sacred Heart Vestment: White Today’s Rosary: Sorrowful Mystery Vespers II of the Most Sacred Heart World day of prayer for the sanctification of priests. -FIRST READING- A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 34:11—16) “I will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down.” “Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when some of his sheep have been scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the fountains, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on fat pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord GOD. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the crippled, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will watch over; I will feed them in justice.” The word of the Lord. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 23:1-3a.3b-4.5.6 (R. 1) R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me; he revives my soul. R/. He guides me along the right path, for the sake of his name. Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death, no evil would I fear, for you are with me. Your crook and your staff will give me comfort. R/. R/. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want. You have prepared a table before me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing. R/. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for length of days unending. R/. -SECOND READING- A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (Romans 5:5b- 11) “God shows his love for us. Brethren: God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. While we were yet helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man — though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation. The word of the Lord. ALLELUIA Matthew 11:29ab Alleluia. Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart. Alleluia. Or the following: John 10:14 Alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my own, and my own know me. Alleluia. -GOSPEL- A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 15:3-7) Share my joy. I have found my lost sheep. At that time: Jesus told the Pharisees and the scribes this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. ’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” The Gospel of the Lord. PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL Celebrant: Gathered as one body of Christ on this solemnity of the sacred heart of Jesus, let us pray that our hearts may be filled with a sincere love for God and one another. FOR THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH: That they, aware of their missionary identity, may strive to follow Christ faithfully and to proclaim his gospel to all peoples. Let us pray to the lord. FOR CIVIL LEADERS: that they may strive towards building a nation in which the freedom of each person to worship according to the dictates of his or her conscience is guaranteed.

  • BREAKING: Akpabio’s Shocking Blunder: Nigerians impressed with Tinubu's "bur!al" instead of Buhari

    While speaking to Nigerians, Senate President Godswill Akpabio accidentally referred to the country being impressed with Tinubu’s "burial"—when "he actually meant Buhari’s.

    This is the second major slip-up, following Imo State Governor’s earlier prayer for Tinubu’s soul to rest in peace, mistakenly thinking he was the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

    Now, Nigerians are wondering:
    Why do our top officials keep making this mix-up?
    Is it just a simple slip of the tongue, or is there something more to this odd trend?

  • 'Let's Give Igbo A Chance'— Obasanjo’s Shocking Massage Over Nigerian Presidency

    In the quiet of his Abeokuta residence, former President Olusegun Obasanjo sat with a delegation of southern leaders from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), their voices mingling with the weight of a nation’s struggles. The air was heavy with purpose as Obasanjo, a elder statesman whose words still carry the resonance of decades in Nigeria’s political arena, delivered a sobering diagnosis: Nigeria, under President Bola Tinubu, remains a nation in bondage, shackled by insecurity, economic turmoil, and the divisive grip of ethnic-based politics.

    His voice, steady yet laced with urgency, painted a vivid picture of a country adrift. “We have had Fulani Nigerian presidents, Hausa Nigerian presidents, Yoruba Nigerian presidents,” Obasanjo said, pausing for emphasis, “but we have not yet experienced a genuine Nigerian president—one who represents everyone, not just their ethnic group.” The room fell silent, the gravity of his words settling over the visitors, who had come seeking counsel ahead of the 2027 general elections.

    Obasanjo’s message was clear: Nigeria’s challenges—banditry ravaging communities, an economy teetering on the edge, and tribalism fueling division—persist because its leaders have too often prioritized personal gain over national unity. “Our problems will persist until we take action,” he warned, his tone a blend of frustration and resolve. He spoke of a nation not only failing its own people but also falling short of the world’s expectations, its potential stifled by a cycle of ineffective leadership.

    The former president’s call to action was both a plea and a challenge. He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant, to stay engaged in the political process, and to hold fast to hope despite the hardships. “We cannot advance if we continue to cycle leadership based on ethnic divisions,” he said, his words cutting through the room like a clarion call. Nigeria, he insisted, needs a leader who transcends tribal loyalties, one who embodies the collective aspirations of its diverse people.

    As the NNPP leaders listened, Obasanjo’s vision for a united Nigeria unfolded. He spoke of immediate measures to tackle insecurity and revitalize the economy, warning that without such steps, the nation would remain trapped in a pattern of stagnation. “The majority of political leaders today are not genuine nationalists,” he declared, accusing them of chasing power for personal gain rather than the nation’s welfare.

    The meeting in Abeokuta was more than a political consultation; it was a moment of reckoning. Obasanjo’s words, delivered with the conviction of a man who has seen Nigeria through its triumphs and trials, left no doubt: the country stands at a crossroads. As the rain-soaked streets outside his home buzzed with the rhythm of daily life, his message lingered—a call for a collective spirit, genuine intentions, and a leader who can finally unshackle Nigeria from its burdens and lead it toward a future worthy of its promise.

  • THE GREATEST AND MOST RELAXED PHYSICAL PROJECT WE HAVE EVER EMBARKED ON IS THE ARK PROJECT.

    THE ESCALATORS ARE BEING INSTALLED CURRENTLY.

    OUR BOOKS ARE IN SEVERAL LANGUAGES THE SAME WAY KENNETH HAGIN'S BOOKS ARE WITHOUT STRESS BECAUSE OF MY CONNECTION TO HIM.

    NOT ALL WINNERS SWEAT TO WIN; SWEATING IS A CURSE.

    - Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE (3A) at Covenant Day Of Business And Career Breakthrough Service || 20th July 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || Part E

    What Is In The Anointing Oil?

    1. The Spirit of the Lord that triggers supernatural breakthroughs is in the Anointing Oil. 1 Sam 16:13...the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. Church Gist. Oil was poured on his head but the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and the Spirit of the Lord is the Spirit of breakthroughs. Luke 4:14,18. The Spirit of the Lord in the oil is the Spirit of breakthroughs.

    - Therefore, as you are anointed today, welcome to your next level of breakthrough!

    And that Spirit came upon David and in (1 Samuel) Chapter 17, he brought down Goliath. (In) Chapter 18, the women began to sing, “Saul has slain his thousand and David his ten thousand”; the battle line was drawn. Church Gist. Isaiah 45:1-3...that is, breakthroughs always follow the anointing (the Spirit of the Lord).

    2. The healing power of God. We just cited that in Mark 6:7,11-12 and James 5:14-15.

    3. The yoke destroying power of God. Isaiah 10:27.

    - Every yoke of the wicked on anyone's life shall be destroyed today!
    - Everyone targeted for death, the ones that target you will go in your place!

    Isaiah 59:19. Every battle against your life in the realm of the unseen, your victory is sure!

    4. The restoration power of God. After Saul was anointed, he said, “as you depart from me today, you will be told that the ass you are looking for has been found.” Church Gist. Restoration!

    - Whatever you have lost to the wicked in the course of the battles of life, you are getting it back!

    You have seen how somebody's job was restored after 19 years and paid all his dues all in one day. Church Gist. In the name of Jesus, whatever the enemy has stolen from you shall be supernaturally restored! Joel 2:25...only God can restore years.

    - Your lost years shall be restored!
    - Your stolen years shall be restored!
    - In the name of Jesus, God's glory that pertains to us in redemption shall be restored to your life!

    5. The exemption power of God. Psalm 105:13-15. It's done! Church Gist. He sets you and I apart from being assaulted, from being molested by the devil. Thank you Jesus!

    What am I saying? The holy anointing oil is not a Church doctrine, it's a mystery of the Kingdom. When the bottle of oil you have brought is blessed, it's turned to a holy anointing oil. Church Gist. If you check in that Exodus 30:25, it was prepared like this one is prepared. But when God's Word is proclaimed on it, it is turned to a holy anointing oil.

    - That shall speak in your life!

    As we round up this morning, it's our Business and Career Breakthrough Service and I told you at the beginning that there is nothing magical about breakthroughs. Church Gist. It's our positive response of faith to His commandment as a lifestyle, He keeps opening doors after doors to us.

    Remember, every child of God belongs to a breakthrough family in Christ. That's what makes breakthrough our heritage. Matthew 5:13-14. We are redeemed as pacesetters and trailblazers. Church Gist. We are redeemed to show the World the way forward and the way to go. Matthew 11:11...that is, redemption makes us greater than the greatest of names in the Old Testament. We are redeemed as breakthrough entities - understand that please. It's not your ambition, it's your heritage.

    Redemption makes us priests and kings to reign on the Earth. But humorously, belonging to the Winners Family, a globally renowned breakthrough family entitles everyone of us to supernatural breakthroughs in our endeavours. You are on board a plane, at whatever altitude the plane is cruising, that's where you are. This is a breakthrough family. Church Gist. The whole World recognises this place as a breakthrough family by virtue of God's presence and God leading the way. So belonging to this family makes you a breakthrough entity if you connect, if you get on board. Please get on board, get on board and get on board.

    I came on board Hagin's family by impartation and delivery of the mantle. The same way his books were going round the World in different languages without stress, the same way our books are in several languages without any cost to us. Cruising at the same level. He was a relaxed soul and you all know how relaxed I am. Church Gist. You all should know how relaxed I am. He operated a debt free ministry; you know how we have been debt free all along without any gimmicks. It's one thing to hang around the airport building; it's another thing to get on board. Don't hang around this airport building, get on board. You don't change position by hanging around the airport building, you change altitude by getting on board.

    (God) He said to me, “pattern your ministry after this man.” You change altitude by getting on board. Don't hang around the airport building, get on board.

    - In the name of Jesus, every grace upon this Commission, I decree it is released into your life!

    The greatest physical project we have ever had in this ministry is The Ark Project and the most relaxed project we have ever had is The Ark. Can you see the paradox? Isn’t God awesome? That everything needed to complete it is on ground. It's not that you are looking for it. Church Gist. We are only looking for time. As I am speaking to you, escalators are being installed. Escalators that will take you up are being installed. You have seen buildings like that before? Because they are itching. They are all on ground. Not all winners sweat to win. Sweating is a curse. Your days of struggles end here today!

After Saul was anointed, he said, “as you depart from me today, you will be told that the ass you are looking for has been found.” Church Gist. Restoration! - Whatever you have lost to the wicked in the course of the battles of life, you are getting it back! You have seen how somebody's job was restored after 19 years and paid all his dues all in one day. Church Gist. In the name of Jesus, whatever the enemy has stolen from you shall be supernaturally restored! Joel 2:25...only God can restore years. - Your lost years shall be restored! - Your stolen years shall be restored! - In the name of Jesus, God's glory that pertains to us in redemption shall be restored to your life! 5. The exemption power of God. Psalm 105:13-15. It's done! Church Gist. He sets you and I apart from being assaulted, from being molested by the devil. Thank you Jesus! What am I saying? The holy anointing oil is not a Church doctrine, it's a mystery of the Kingdom. When the bottle of oil you have brought is blessed, it's turned to a holy anointing oil. Church Gist. If you check in that Exodus 30:25, it was prepared like this one is prepared. But when God's Word is proclaimed on it, it is turned to a holy anointing oil. - That shall speak in your life! As we round up this morning, it's our Business and Career Breakthrough Service and I told you at the beginning that there is nothing magical about breakthroughs. Church Gist. It's our positive response of faith to His commandment as a lifestyle, He keeps opening doors after doors to us. Remember, every child of God belongs to a breakthrough family in Christ. That's what makes breakthrough our heritage. Matthew 5:13-14. We are redeemed as pacesetters and trailblazers. Church Gist. We are redeemed to show the World the way forward and the way to go. Matthew 11:11...that is, redemption makes us greater than the greatest of names in the Old Testament. We are redeemed as breakthrough entities - understand that please. It's not your ambition, it's your heritage. Redemption makes us priests and kings to reign on the Earth. But humorously, belonging to the Winners Family, a globally renowned breakthrough family entitles everyone of us to supernatural breakthroughs in our endeavours. You are on board a plane, at whatever altitude the plane is cruising, that's where you are. This is a breakthrough family. Church Gist. The whole World recognises this place as a breakthrough family by virtue of God's presence and God leading the way. So belonging to this family makes you a breakthrough entity if you connect, if you get on board. Please get on board, get on board and get on board. I came on board Hagin's family by impartation and delivery of the mantle. The same way his books were going round the World in different languages without stress, the same way our books are in several languages without any cost to us. Cruising at the same level. He was a relaxed soul and you all know how relaxed I am. Church Gist. You all should know how relaxed I am. He operated a debt free ministry; you know how we have been debt free all along without any gimmicks. It's one thing to hang around the airport building; it's another thing to get on board. Don't hang around this airport building, get on board. You don't change position by hanging around the airport building, you change altitude by getting on board. (God) He said to me, “pattern your ministry after this man.” You change altitude by getting on board. Don't hang around the airport building, get on board. - In the name of Jesus, every grace upon this Commission, I decree it is released into your life! The greatest physical project we have ever had in this ministry is The Ark Project and the most relaxed project we have ever had is The Ark. Can you see the paradox? Isn’t God awesome? That everything needed to complete it is on ground. It's not that you are looking for it. Church Gist. We are only looking for time. As I am speaking to you, escalators are being installed. Escalators that will take you up are being installed. You have seen buildings like that before? Because they are itching. They are all on ground. Not all winners sweat to win. Sweating is a curse. Your days of struggles end here today!
