Ministering: *Bishop David Oyedepo*
Message Title: *Who is on the Lord's Side? (Pt. 4A)*
Your package of fortune is settled already but it takes faith to get it.
Little faith cannot stand stormy days. - Matt. 14:28-31
Build strength into your faith to subdue storms and silence opposition.
Faith is the master key to seeing prophecies fulfilled. - Luke 1:45
There are no private revelations in the Kingdom. - Mark 13:37
Whatever He says to one, He says to all.
Faith is an open ticket in the hands of a believer.
You can ride on the faith of others by engaging with their steps to command the same level of result.
There is no disadvantaged believer.
Being on God's side makes you more than a conqueror.
Staying on God's side is walking in the fear of God through the dictates of the scripture.
Staying on God's side will secure your destiny. - Rom. 8:48
Allow Jesus into your boat and He will overturn your misfortune to eternal fortune.
Allow Jesus into your boat and He will overturn the issues of your life into realms of glory. - Luke 5:1-8, Matt. 16:17-18.
*How to Remain on God's Side?*
1. Beware of a nonchalant attitude toward God and His word.
2. Beware of tempting God through murmuring and complaining. - Num. 21:1, 1 Cor. 10:10
3. Maintain a quality walk with God. - Gen 17:25
Let God's Word determine the steps you take.
*Dangers of Not Being on The Lord’s Side
1. It blocks access to help in times of trouble. - Ps. 4:1
2. It destroys generations. - 1 Sam. 2:36
3. It blocks access to eternity with Christ. - Matt. 7:21-23
The most dangerous thing on earth is to miss your way to Heaven.
Endeavour to be on God's side.
An undying crave for sanctification is a fundamental requirement for making it to eternity.
*The Covenant of Exemption
Famine is synonymous with every human generation, so hard times are not strange.
God has an agenda to exempt His people from all hard times.
- Ex. 8:20-22, Ex. 9:4, 18-26
*To enjoy exemption in these hard times,*
- Keep engaging the law of seed time and harvest. It never fails. - Eph. 6:8, Gal. 6:10
- Always maintain an exemption mentality.
- Faith is the master cure for failure; build your faith to kill your fear.

Truth Is To Be Lived, Not Debated
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
James 3:13
The clamor of raised voices turns the heads of everyone in the room. Two men in the corner are arguing over the merits of respective candidates in a political campaign.
Arguments tend to bring out the worst in people. Sooner or later, accusations are made that go beyond the search for right and wrong. Anger and bitterness result.
How do you react when confronted with a volatile situation? Conventional wisdom says, “Win at all cost”; godly wisdom suggests otherwise, as the helpful nineteenth-century commentary An Exposition on the Bible describes.
WALK WITH AN EXPOSITION ON THE BIBLE
“This test is a very practical one, and we can apply it to ourselves as well as to others.
“How do we bear ourselves in argument and in controversy? Are we serene about the result, in full confidence that truth and right should prevail? Are we desirous that truth should prevail, even if that should involve our being proved to be in the wrong? Are we meek and gentle toward those who differ from us? Or are we apt to lose our tempers and become heated against our opponents?
“If the last is the case, we have reason to doubt whether our wisdom is of the best sort. He who loses his temper in an argument has begun to care more about himself, and less about the truth.
“He has become like the many would-be teachers rebuked by James: slow to hear, swift to speak; unwilling to learn, eager to dogmatize; less ready to know the truth than to be able to say something, whether true or false.”
WALK CLOSER TO GOD
When Christ admitted to his accusers that he was the Son of God, they violently disagreed. In order to silence the truth, they crucified him. But notice that Christ did not argue; he didn’t need to. After all, truth was on his side—indeed, he was the very embodiment of truth. His enemies may have seemingly won the battle, but he triumphed in the end.
Truth has not been entrusted to you just to be debated. Indeed, the whole world waits for a convincing demonstration of the life-changing power of God’s truth.
As Christ showed, the application of truth to life is the most powerful argument of all.

Why this Unending Crave for Church Growth (Part 2) - Bishop David Oyedepo
Church growth is not an ambition for the Church, supernatural church growth is the will of God for the end time Church Luke 12:32 Ecclesiastes 3:11 Matthew 16:18
Christ wants all men saved and come to the knowledge of the truth Psalms 73:17 -- The Church is the centre of spiritual understanding. Knowledge and understanding expands our coast. We are feed woth knowledge and spiritual understanding in the Church Acts 20:28 John 8:32 1 Timothy 2:4
God does not want anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9 John 6:37 -- all we are doing is to be in partnership with Him
Hell is not made for man bit for the devil and his angels Matthew 25:41 -- we must be committed for the rescue of mankind John 4:35. Only solution bearers emerges as leaders (People who look away from their problems and commit themselves to solving the problems of others). You hardly find problems bearers to become leaders. People who look to their problems don't make much problems Nehemiah 1:4 John 15:16 Jude 22-23 John 4:36
Doing nothing usually result in frustrations Proverbs 20:4. It's acceptable stewardship that results in wages Luke 19:12-13/16-19 -- When one is adding value to His agenda, He comes once and again to enlarge his coast 1 Corinthians 3:8.
When there is no positive change, it's either he is not doing anything, not doing it right or don't care about result 1 Corinthians 3:6
In the advancement of the Church lies the advancement of every engaging believer. Until there is renewal on your inside, there can not be transformation on the outside.
