- 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 F.

Stop hanging around the airport building, it doesn't change your level. Get on board! I still check today, what will Hagin do in this circumstance, from his writings. Get on board. Thank you Jesus. Church Gist. He never went on attack against any ministry. I don't know what God sent Him. He is answerable to God, not to me. I am not set up as a judge, I am on an errand. Praise God. I heard Him say, "Don't bother to reply your critics, I don't bother to reply my critics. Just get on board, keep going. Keep going to where you are sent." Can I hear your Amen. Church Gist. That is what it means to get on board.

What do they do in this commission, that I am not doing? Recently, I saw that we started Creativity Promotion Fund in Kaduna to help people to have something positive doing. Creativity Promotion Fund. It began in Kaduna '85. Church Gist. We are on the way to help at all times, through various means. Up till now, a percentage of our income, globally, is committed to welfare. When you hear they ministered to 30,000 people, it is from it. You hear that there is natural disaster somewhere and they push in resources to alleviate the suffering of the people, it is from it.

This ministry is a tithing ministry, as small as it is. Somebody's story has changed, in the Name of Jesus. Get on board. Because by their fruits, you shall know them. Matthew 7:20. Get on board. The company you keep, is a vital factor in determining what awaits you. Get on board. Possessing a breakthrough mentality is key to commanding supernatural breakthroughs in the adventure of life. As far as your eyes can see, unto you will I give it. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You have a breakthrough heritage in Christ, let it come from your mentality. Church Gist. Remember the overcomers' mentality. That means, whatever is born of God overcomes the world. So possess an overcomers' mentality.

Be reminded that every challenge among us is to bring out the champion in us. I don't know how many are challenged today in one area or another, the champion in you is coming out. Proverbs 27:21. Every champion today is a fruit of the challenges they overcame. You are coming out!

In 1 Peter 1:6-7, our trial of faith is to bring out the gold in us. The treasures in us, the precious things in us. And when He has tried me, Job said, I shall come forth as gold.

- Your trial today, God is turning them to triumph. Today is your day of escape. As the oil comes on you, it turns your trials to testimony.

Remember also, that no one soars as an eagle with a grasshopper's mentality. We are in our own eyes as grasshoppers, so they lost out. Numbers 13:30-33. Church Gist. Can I have you say with me, 'Every dim soul, is a potential star. But one cannot imagine a star with a mediocre's mentality.' Revelation 22:16. You have been sent, I have been sent as a star. Let that become your new mentality.

I am not redeemed a struggler, I am redeemed a light of my world, to shine forth where things are down. Church Gist. Prophetic blessings trigger breakthroughs.

- Every blessing declared over you today will culminate into blessing in your life.

Melchizedek proclaimed a blessing on Abraham and the blessing began to speak and is still speaking till now. The blessings being proclaimed on you today will keep speaking in your life. Prophetic blessings here connotes blessings proclaimed that are in line with Scriptures.For example, all your labour in the vineyard since the year began, shall be openly rewarded and you shall be scaling new heights from this time forward. Why? If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures. Job 36:11. Matthew 6:33. Habakkuk 3:18-19. So when that Word is proclaimed in line with Scriptures, you have committed God to confirm it.

- In the Name of Jesus, every blessing proclaimed on you today shall be confirmed with speed.

As I close, blessings are released on a 2 channel basis, faith from the source of the proclaimer and faith on the path of the recipient. Church Gist. Every blessing proclaimed is released according to your faith. The blessing is released, but your faith is required to receive those blessings.

Mark 6:5-6. Please note, that Amen is not what releases the blessing but faith in the Word to which you are saying Amen to. Faith in the Word. Now, for everyone serving God in this Church, the Word says, all these things that others are dying to get shall be added to you. Therefore, welcome to your realm of favour. Church Gist. Nothing flies like favour in the Kingdom of light. Favour brought Joseph out of the prison, to the palace overnight.

- In the Name of Jesus, the favour that attends to them that serve Him is released upon your life today.

You belong to the breakthrough family of Jesus. The least among us is ordained to be greater than the greatest in the Old Testament. Therefore, I decree that the Daniel in you comes forth, the Isaac in you comes alive, the Abraham in you comes to light, the Peter in your comes alive in the Name of Jesus.

- I decree God's hand upon the works of your hand in the Name of Jesus.
- For every point of contact you brought, I decree an encounter with God that will open new chapters.
- Nothing fails in your hand again. You will never be at the same spot again. A new day dawns on your life today in the Name of Jesus.
- Breakthrough on every side. Breakthrough at home. Breakthrough at work. Breakthrough in your children's lives. Breakthrough in your going out and coming in. It shall be breakthrough news from henceforth. Your new era package will start speaking. This operation will be a launch to your next level and so shall it be. Give the Lord a big hand of praise. Thank you Jesus.

Why Igbo men struggle in politics—Pete Edochie

Veteran actor Pete Edochie has claimed that Igbo men struggle in politics due to their inability to tolerate betrayal.

In a recent interview on Afia TV, Edochie explained that Igbo individuals are quick to cut ties with those who deceive them.

This characteristic, while rooted in a culture that highly values loyalty and trust, can make it difficult for them to maintain the sustained, often opportunistic, relationships necessary for political advancement.

Edochie attributed this to the Igbo culture, where people prioritize loyalty and trust.

He noted that this trait can hinder Igbo politicians' careers, as they may struggle to maintain strategic alliances in the cutthroat world of politics.

Edochie said, “An Igbo man is not a politician. And I will tell you why: people who are used to politics or the treachery that characterizes politics can overlook things. But the Igbo man is not constituted to condone treachery a second time. If you hurt the Igbo man once in politics, he will never give you an opportunity to hurt him again. He will recoil himself. That’s the average Igbo man.

“The Igbo man is really not constituted to sustain political treachery. The moment you exhibit treachery in your. That’s it.”

Happy Birthday to Veteran Nollywood Actor - Jerry Amilo

Join us celebrate his new age

When Indian billionaire Ratanji Tata was asked by the radio presenter in a telephone interview:
Sir, what do you remember when you got the happiest in life?
Ratanji Tata said:
I have gone through four stages of happiness in life, and I finally understood the meaning of true happiness.
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and resources.
But at this stage I didn't get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items.
But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the luster of precious things does not last long.
Then came the third phase of getting a big project. That was when I had 95% of the diesel supply in India and Africa.
I was also the owner of the largest steel factory in India and Asia.
But even here I did not get the happiness that I had imagined.
The fourth step was when a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchairs for some disabled children.
About 200 children.
At the behest of the friend, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these children the wheel chairs with my own hands. I saw a strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting in wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had reached a picnic spot, where they were sharing a winning gift.
I felt real happiness inside me.
When I decided to leave, one of the kids grabbed my leg.
I tried to slowly release my legs, but the child looked at my face and held my legs tight. I leaned over and asked the child: do you need anything else?
The answer this kid gave me not only shocked me but also completely changed my outlook towards life.
This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I can recognize you and thank you once again....!!"
Moral lesson: it’s not about all you have, it’s about the little you can give. That’s the real happiness.

A faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Wednesday pleaded with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, Mr. Peter Obi, for the sake of equity, national integration, and peace, to drop his 2027 presidential ambition and support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term.

In a statement in Abakaliki, the Deputy National President of Ohanaeze, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, told Obi that winning the presidency from the incumbent, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will prove exceedingly challenging, reminding him that only the southeast will not make him president.

He maintained that facts on the ground show that it will be very difficult for Obi to win, saying that the current political climate, marked by a lack of unity among opposition leaders and the inordinate ambition of Atiku Abubakar—who, at the age of 81, seeks the presidency—poses a significant risk.

He added that the appointment of some southeast people by Mr. President into key positions, like Senator Dave Umahi as the Minister of Works, entrusting him with the critical task of rehabilitating the dilapidated federal road infrastructure in the Southeast, will be another factor, adding that President Tinubu has significantly increased federal allocations to the Southeast.

Isiguzoro further noted that both Obi and Atiku will likely fracture the opposition vote, which will ultimately pave the way for President Tinubu’s reelection. He said that if this scenario were to unfold, the repercussions would undoubtedly fall heavily upon the Southeast. This was as he urged Obi to consider supporting Tinubu’s second bid.

The greatest enemy to Igbos are the Igbos themselves. Nigerians. The entire Nigeria recognizes the grace upon Mr. Peter Obi except the Igbos. It's unfortunate.
