Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide delivered a message titled Unlocking the Supernatural at the September 2024 Week of Spiritual Emphasis.
Speaking on the day one of the program, he urged Christians to take their faith more seriously, emphasizing the increasingly difficult state of the world.
“You better wake up. Things are getting tougher by the day around the world. A time is coming when there will be nowhere to run to but to God,” Oyedepo warned. He shared the testimony of an individual who, after 30 years of living in North America, had nothing to show for it. This, he said, reflects the challenges people face globally, with many struggling to find stability despite their efforts.
“There is no safe place except Jesus. Jesus’ people should get serious about their Jesus,” Oyedepo stated, emphasizing the need for unwavering faith. He shared another testimony of a woman who was delivered from oppression after seeking divine light, noting that darkness torments those who lack spiritual insight.
The bishop explained that every believer carries within them the supernatural power of God, and that learning to unlock it is essential. He pointed to scripture, emphasizing that Jesus resides in believers, making them “full of wonders” (Isaiah 9:6). He further explained that the Holy Spirit’s presence in a believer enables the manifestation of great signs and wonders (Joel 2:28).
Bishop Oyedepo stressed the importance of engaging with God’s Word as the key to activating the supernatural, citing Exodus 4:17 and Mark 16:20. “You cannot locate the Word and engage with it by faith and not command signs and wonders,” he concluded….Vìew↔Môre
