OUR OWN IDEA FOR THE HEADQUARTERS OF THIS MINISTRY WAS A 50-ACRE PROPERTY BUT GOD SAID CANAANLAND IS THE PLACE AND FROM THIS FOREST WE ARE TOUCHING NATIONS.

DON'T PLAY SMART WHEN IT COMES TO GOD'S WORD. TAKE IT RAW AND SWALLOW IT ALL

WE SERVE A STORY CHANGING GOD HERE IN WINNERS’. THIS IS A HOME OF TESTIMONIES

NO CIVILIZATION CAN MAKE ANY OF THE PROMISES OF GOD OF NO EFFECT

WITHOUT OBEDIENCE, 100 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING WON'T CHANGE YOUR STORY

- 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 A

Psalm 65:4. God wants to satisfy your areas of need. As you stay connected in the Spirit, you must return with your package. Church Gist. He calls us to bless us. He has called you to bless you and you shall return blessed.

Heavenly Father, thank you for this awesome time in your presence. Do what only you can do here. Church Gist. Turn things around for your people, let the breakthrough agenda ordained for today answer in everyone's life. No more breakdowns, no more setbacks. You are breaking forth in the name of Jesus.

He has not called the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain.
- May this season mark the end of all pressures in your life.
- May it mark the beginning of your going forward and never backward anymore. Church Gist.
This is a home of testimonies. We serve a story changing God here in Winners. He will change your story in the name of Jesus Christ.

We just finished singing our worship hymn today ‘Standing On The Promises Of God My Saviour, Through Eternal Ages. The promises remain standing through eternal ages. No civilization can make any of the promises of God of no effect. Through eternal ages, let His praises reign. Those with me will see me marking my book when we sing the hymns because ‘speak to yourself in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.’ Through eternal ages! Don't ever think that civilization will make any aspect of the Word of God of no effect. His covenant remains binding while the earth remains. Through eternal ages let His praises reign. Young people, there is no new generation Bible. Church Gist. Through eternal ages. No! There is no modern Bible. Through eternal ages, let His praise reign. His Word lives and abides forever. Through eternal ages, let His praise reign. Every statement of scripture is more current than today's newspaper. New every morning, applying to all ages and all through generations. Indestructible, incorruptible! May this truth sink into everyone today that God's Word is forever reliable. Putting God's Word to work will always work and for all ages. We are not dealing with something that is past, it applies to the present and holds the future and extends to eternity, shows the way there.

The Bible is the custodian of all breakthroughs in life. Holding on to what God says puts you in command of the happenings in your life. Matthew 4:4. Acts 5:20.

We are on part 3 of our teaching series captioned UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE. The pace setting, trail blazing power of love. 1 Corinthians 2:9 is our rider scripture. We have never seen it in this fashion, they are strange acts and strange works. Luke 5:26. Those are the exclusive reserve of those that love God. Things never seen, things never heard, things never thought of by man, they happened in their lives. Church Gist. I was sharing yesterday at the Covenant Hour of Prayer that breakthroughs in the Kingdom are not things you pursue, they come to you. Deuteronomy 28:1-2. We left out verse 1 and we are jumping around to experience verse 2 to 13. No! That's fraud! Verse 2 to 13 is predicated on our response to verse 1. That's breaking protocols. Welcome to your era of breakthroughs coming to you.

If you watch those testimonies that we have been hearing over the years, they are things that come to people. They are not craving after them. As they keep pursuing after God, those things start coming to them. That is the process. Nothing is more fulfilling than these things coming to you, not you craving after them. There is nothing magical about breakthrough, it is a function of your obedience of faith. Whatever He tells you to do, do it and breakthrough will be the product. Church Gist. They may not make sense to the human mind but they secure divine manifestation as confirmation. I couldn't see this place as the place but He said this is the place and I jumped at what He said in spite of my feelings. Now, it has become the place and from this forest, touching nations. Please mind what He says. Don't play smart when it comes to God's Word. Take it raw and swallow it all. Our own idea was a 50 acre property. That will be huge but here we are today. It comes to you.

What brought our church into the limelight globally was the Wonder Double Visitation, it came to me. I didn't go for it. “I, the God of Wonder Double, is visiting you.” Breakthroughs come to people who walk in obedience to God's Word. “Arise, get down to Lagos and raise me a people” came to me. Not that I went to it, I won't pray to come to Lagos. Church Gist. “You are planting 5,000 churches this year” came to me, I won't plan that and He did because it came from Him and obedience caught up with it. And now, “You are planting 10,000 churches this year.” I said God said He will plant because that is beyond our calculation and projections and He did. Breakthroughs are ordained to come to us, not this 20 days of prayer and fasting for breakthrough, you are wasting your energy. Without obedience, 100 days of prayer and fasting won't change your story. Forget it Sir.

Nick Vujicic was born into a life most would see as impossible. No arms. No legs. Just obstacles everywhere. Even his parents struggled to accept him.
By age 10, he felt like a burden and nearly gave up completely — even attempting suicide.
But at his lowest moment, Nick had a revelation: his life still had meaning. His presence still had value.
From that moment, Nick chose not to be a victim but a victor.
He failed, tried again, fell, and kept rising.
He discovered a powerful truth: "Obstacles are opportunities in disguise."
Today, Nick is a global motivational speaker, an entrepreneur, a husband, and a father of four.
He’s physically active, full of joy, and impacting millions.
His organization, Attitude is Altitude, is inspiring young people to build resilience and emotional strength.
Nick teaches us this:
Your limitations do not define your destiny.
Pain is not the end — it's often the beginning of purpose.
Action, not excuses, turns setbacks into stepping stones.
So, no matter what you're facing — don’t wait for ideal conditions. Use what you have. Start where you are. Rise. Speak. Act. Win.
Like Nick, you already have what you need inside you.
Now it’s time to live like it.

A blessed evening to you all family, how is your Sunday?

Good morning God's beloved. Thank God for a new day. Today, Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to you and your family, I'll subdue nations before you; and I will loose the loins of kings, I'll open before you the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before you, 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 you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you and your family members may know that I, the LORD, which call you by name, I am your God. This day, the Lord will magnify you in the eyes of all those who have been looking down on you. Every demonic enchantment, spell or divination that was used to forcefully collect what belongs to you is broken today. Therefore, take back all that belongs to you in Jesus mighty name. Every plan of obituary against us and our loved ones before the end of this year is cancelled by fire. Today shall be your NO MORE SETBACKS SUNDAY IN JESUS NAME.

"All Fingers Are Not Equal—A Mental Health Lesson for Nigerians"

In the picture attached, 3 measuring tapes are placed side by side. All are meant to measure the same thing—but look closely. The starting points are not aligned. Even though they are designed for the same purpose, their results will always differ because they don’t start from the same place.

This image teaches us a powerful life lesson, especially about mental health and personal struggles.

The Nigerian Reality: The Pressure of Comparison:

In Nigeria today, people constantly compare themselves with others.

"My mate has built a house; why haven’t I?"

"She has two cars, and I’m still trekking."

"Look at his business booming, and mine is crawling."

We forget that everyone's starting point is different. Just like the measuring tapes in the picture, some people start life with better opportunities, resources, or support systems, while others face setbacks from day one.

Mental Health and Silent Battles:

Many Nigerians suffer silently because of these unfair comparisons. They fall into depression, anxiety, or self-doubt, forgetting that:

Some people are battling illnesses you can’t see.

Some are healing from emotional wounds you don’t know about.

Some are fighting family problems, financial hardships, or traumas quietly.

Key Message: “All Fingers Are Not Equal”
Just like fingers on the hand, no two lives are the same.

Accept your journey.

Don’t measure your success with someone else’s ruler.

Focus on personal growth, not competition.

Seek help when you’re mentally overwhelmed. (It’s not weakness—it’s wisdom.)

A Call to Action

Dear Nigerians, let’s normalize:

Talking about mental health without shame.

Supporting each other without judgment.

Understanding that life’s measurements are never the same for everyone.

Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection.
Be kind to yourself. Your race is unique.

Each person, at some point in life, encounters challenges, setbacks, and makes mistakes. It’s part of the human journey. No matter how sincere or well-intentioned someone is, even the most faithful heart can falter. But that doesn’t define their worth.

Mistakes are not signs of failure — they are stepping stones to wisdom, strength, and self-awareness. Every difficulty we face holds a lesson, and every wrong turn is an opportunity to find a better direction. Growth often comes not in moments of ease, but through trials that shape our character.

What matters most is not perfection, but progress. Embrace your journey, learn from your missteps, and keep moving forward with grace and resilience. person, at some point in life, encounters challenges, setbacks, and makes mistakes.

Discover Your "Why":

Your "why" is the core reason behind everything you do—it's the foundation on which your goals stand and the source of true meaning in your actions. It represents the deep, personal motivation that fuels your dreams and ambitions, giving them life beyond just tasks or outcomes.

When you clearly identify your "why," you uncover the values, passions, and beliefs that drive your journey. This understanding becomes a powerful tool that helps you push through obstacles, stay focused when distractions arise, and bounce back stronger after setbacks. It’s not just about reaching a destination; it’s about embracing a purpose that makes every step meaningful.

Your "why" acts as both an emotional compass and a philosophical anchor. It links your daily efforts to your core principles and long-term aspirations, ensuring that your pursuit of success is not just effective but also deeply fulfilling and sustainable. In essence, knowing your "why" transforms your path into a purposeful journey of growth, resilience, and lasting achievement.

Leaders never use the word failure. They look upon setbacks as learning experiences.” – Bria

"The 12 Secrets the Rich Don’t Want You to Know"

We live in a world designed by the rich, for the rich. Everything from the media you consume to the advice you’re given is carefully curated to keep you trapped in the rat race while they soar higher. It’s time to pull back the curtain and uncover the truths the wealthy don’t want you to know. Brace yourself, because what you’re about to learn may shatter every illusion you’ve been sold.

The first secret is that hard work alone won’t make you rich. Yes, they encourage you to hustle and grind, but they know the truth: the path to wealth lies in leverage, not labor. While you’re breaking your back working overtime, they’re using other people’s time, money, and skills to build empires.

Second, they want you to believe money is evil. The more you associate wealth with greed and corruption, the less likely you are to pursue it unapologetically. Meanwhile, they know that money is simply a tool—a powerful one that can amplify your impact if used wisely.

Third, savings won’t make you rich. They push the “save and invest in a mutual fund” narrative, but they don’t follow it themselves. They invest in high-risk, high-reward opportunities: startups, real estate, stocks, and businesses that multiply their wealth exponentially.

Fourth, the school system is a trap. They fund educational systems that teach you to be obedient employees, not critical thinkers or risk-takers. You’re taught to work for money, while they learn to make money work for them.

Fifth, tax laws are written for the wealthy. They know the loopholes, the incentives, and the strategies to legally avoid taxes, while you’re stuck paying a significant chunk of your income. Wealthy people own assets, not salaries, and assets are taxed differently.

Sixth, debt is a weapon—but only if you know how to wield it. They want you to fear debt, but the rich use it as a tool to acquire more wealth. They leverage other people’s money (OPM) to buy assets that generate cash flow and pay off the debt themselves.

Seventh, your consumerism funds their lifestyle. Every time you buy a new gadget, trendy clothes, or overpriced coffee, you’re putting money directly into their pockets. Meanwhile, they’re investing in assets that appreciate over time.

Eighth, connections matter more than talent. They don’t want you to know that access to the right people will open more doors than any degree or skillset. They build exclusive networks that perpetuate their wealth and keep outsiders at bay.

Ninth, time is their most valuable asset. They don’t waste it on distractions or meaningless tasks. They hire people to do what they can’t or won’t do, freeing up their time to focus on wealth-building strategies.

Tenth, the stock market is rigged in their favor. While you’re hoping your portfolio grows steadily, they have insider information, access to high-frequency trading, and the capital to manipulate markets to their advantage.

Eleventh, failure is their greatest teacher. They embrace setbacks as learning experiences and take calculated risks without fear. You’ve been taught to play it safe, but the rich know that big rewards require bold moves.

Finally, they thrive on your ignorance. The less you know about money, investing, and business, the more they can exploit your labor, time, and consumer habits to enrich themselves.

So what’s the takeaway, men? Stop playing the game they’ve rigged against you. Educate yourself about money, learn to think like an investor, and prioritize ownership over consumption. Break free from the chains of mediocrity, and start building your own empire. It’s time to outsmart the system and claim the wealth and power they don’t want you to have.
