Teaching Series: *Walking in Dominion Over Sickness and Disease (Part 1A)*

Focus: *Healing Wonders in the Faith*

Ministering: *Bishop David Oyedepo*

According to the Scriptures, pestilence and plagues are part of the agenda of the devil for the end-time, but God has made an exemption plan for you.
- Matt. 24:6-7

Healing, health and wholeness is your right as a child of God.
- Isa. 49:15, 24-25, Gal. 3:29

Healing is received according to your faith.

God's touch won't do anything in your life except your faith is alive.

Faith is a non-negotiable requirement for receiving healing.

Faith is the answer to every gruesome attack of hell.

God is not only interested in your financial prosperity; He wants your body to be sound.
- 3 John. 1:2

Jesus Christ means Jesus, the Anointed One; He has the capacity to heal all manner of sicknesses and diseases.

When you invoke the name, His anointing goes forth to deliver. - SoS. 1:3

*You must have faith in the following

1. God as your Jehovah Rapha - Ex. 15:26

2. Your healing inheritance. - Isa. 53:4-5, 1 Cor. 6:20

3. Healing as the will of God for you. - Matt. 8:1-3

4. Healing as a reward for serving God and the interest of His Kingdom. - Ex. 23:25-26, John 15:1-2

5. The one sent to minister healing to you. - 2 Chr. 20:20, Matt. 10:41

6. The name of Jesus for your healing. - Acts 3:6; 16

7. The mercy of God. - Mark 10:47, Ps. 136:1-4

*What is Faith?*

Faith is a living force drawn from the living Word to produce living proofs.

Faith is the only way to tap into the healing virtue of Christ.

It's not just prayer that heals but the prayer of faith.

It is not quoting scriptures that heals, but faith in the potent scriptures.
- Heb. 4:2

To receive your healing, first build your faith in the finished works of Christ, then build your confidence in your healing right in redemption.

The verdict of the scriptures is superior to any medical expert’s verdict.

There are reports and there are reports; no report is superior to God’s reports.

Faith in the heart requires the tongue to deliver.
- Mark 11:20

While your faith is domiciled in the heart, you need the tongue for your faith to deliver.

Don't claim to trust God when you are simply tempting Him.

Every sickness is a mockery, and it is entitled to a curse!

Curse whatever is mocking your destiny, and it shall be cursed by heaven.

High blood sugar is not normal; curse it!

Pains in your body are not normal; curse them!

High blood pressure is not normal; curse it!

Migraines are not normal; curse them!

Sicknesses and diseases in your body are not normal; curse them!

*Showers of Blessings Ministration*

God’s showers of blessings usually follows the believer’s obedience.
- Deut. 28:1-2, Exo. 23:25-26

Unreserved obedience to the full is what keeps God’s blessings over your life.
- Ps. 92:13-14

As long as you remain planted in God’s house, the showers will never cease.

Beware of the error of Solomon!

Beware of the error of King Uzziah, pride destroyed him!
- 2 Chr. 28:21

The blessings of God answer on a two-way channel:

- Faith from the proclaimer of the blessing

- Faith on the part of the receiver.

*Expect the following rewards according to scriptural verdicts

1. God shall turn your labour into favour. - Ps. 102:13-15

2. God shall wipe away your shame and reproach for your engagement in His vineyard. - 2 Cor. 4:17

3. Blessings will start coming after you.

4. You will experience supernatural change of story. - Jer. 30:21

Is the 7 Mountain of Influence Biblical ?

The concept of the "7 Mountains of Influence" refers to seven key societal spheres that are believed to shape culture and where Christians should aim to exert influence. These mountains are: Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts/Entertainment, and Business. The idea is to strategically engage with these areas to bring about societal transformation according to Christian values.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Religion: This includes all forms of religious expression and institutions.
Family: The foundational social unit and its influence on individuals and society.
Education: The system responsible for shaping the minds of future generations.
Government: The structures and processes of political power and governance.
Media: Platforms for communication and information dissemination.
Arts/Entertainment: Cultural expressions that shape values and perspectives.
Business: The economic engine of society and its influence on resources and values.
The "7 Mountains Mandate," as it is sometimes called, is a framework for Christians to engage with these areas, not just through individual conversions, but by seeking influence within these key societal structures. This often involves prayer, strategic leadership, and promoting Christian values within each sphere.

FEC approves N2 trillion for Sokoto–Badagry highway sections, N1.65 trillion for Lagos–Calabar coastal road



The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N2 trillion for sections of the Sokoto–Badagry highway and N1.65 trillion for sections of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway.

Minister of Works David Umahi announced this after the FEC meeting on Thursday in Abuja.

He said the Sokoto–Badagry approvals include a second carriageway of 258 kilometres in Kebbi at N961 billion, alongside an earlier 2024 contract for a single carriageway at N947 billion.


An additional 120 kilometres in Sokoto was approved at N456 billion, bringing the combined cost for these sections to about N2 trillion.

For the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, the new approvals cover sections 4A and 4B, totalling 80.35 kilometres between Ogun and Ondo States. The six-lane road, estimated at N1.65 trillion, involves major earthworks, soil replacement, and elevation to prevent flooding along swampy terrain.


Then we have the Sokoto–Badagry. You are aware that we had awarded the Sokoto–Badagry before now, I think it was in August 2024, and that was 258 kilometers in Kebbi for one carriageway. And that was for a contract sum of N947 billion.

“So today we have awarded the second carriageway in Kebbi, 258 kilometers, three lanes, for N961 billion. And then in Sokoto, an additional 120 kilometers for N456 billion.

“So, we have completed in Sokoto 120 kilometers by 2, that’s 240 kilometers, and that’s roughly about N920 billion. And in Kebbi you have 258 times 2, that’s 516 kilometers, and that is roughly about N2 trillion,” Umahi said.


He added, “Lastly, the Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway section 4a and 4b. 4a is in Ogun State. Taking from where section 2 stopped at Lekki. And then going to the Ondo. We have about 40 kilometers in Ogun State. And a 40.35 kilometer in Ondo State. And so the Ondo has gotten to the border between Ondo and Ondo State. And that’s where we are. And the total kilometer is 80.35 by 2. That is 80.535 kilometers, six lanes. And the total contract sum is N1.65 trillion.”

He also disclosed that the Trans-Sahara Road project from Ebonyi to the Benue border has been revised from 118 to 221.64 kilometres due to poor soil conditions, with two new bridges added. The total contract sum for this project has increased from N361 billion to N445.851 billion.

More insights
Umahi said the FEC also approved revisions and extra funding for several other highways across the country.

The Biu–Numan road in Borno and Adamawa, awarded in 2020 for 45 kilometres at N15.43 billion, has been revised to N61.763 billion due to inflation and other cost pressures, with the original scope retained.

The 43.6-kilometre Maraba–Keffi dual carriageway, awarded in May 2023, has been restructured to use concrete pavement. Following the fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate changes, the project will now be executed in phases. With N76 billion available from NNPC cash flow, one carriageway and 2 kilometres of the second carriageway will be completed, while the rest of the route will be maintained.

For the Ikorodu–Shagamu road, which is about 25 percent complete after being reviewed in March 2023, FEC approved an additional N11.423 billion to accelerate work.
In Yobe State, the 36.2-kilometre Kashamu–Amshi–Guru–Gurus road has been adjusted to include a binder course, a vehicle bridge to replace a pedestrian bridge, and concrete protection for swampy sections. These additions raised the contract cost by N8.94 billion, up from the initial N14.526 billion.
The Ado Ekiti–Afe Babalola University road, awarded in February 2023 for 40.72 kilometres, has been scaled down due to funding constraints and will now cover 14.4 kilometres at a cost of N9.32 billion.

📖 Man’s Self-Image from a Biblical Perspective

In the Bible, man’s self-image is not based on appearance, achievement, or opinion — it is rooted in God’s original design and intention for mankind. When we talk about man’s self-image biblically, we are referring to how man sees himself in light of who God says he is.


🧬 1. Created in the Image of God

> “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...’” — Genesis 1:26



Man’s true identity begins with this divine truth: you are made to reflect God’s nature.

That means man is designed to carry value, purpose, dignity, dominion, and creativity.

The original self-image of man was pure, confident, and God-centered.




🍎 2. The Fall Damaged Self-Image

> “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked…” — Genesis 3:7



Sin caused man to fall from God-consciousness to self-consciousness.

Shame, fear, and hiding became part of man’s perception.

The enemy (Satan) attacked man’s identity by twisting truth, just like he told Eve: “Did God really say?” (Gen. 3:1)


🔁 This shows that Satan’s strategy is to distort man’s self-image — to make man doubt his value, purpose, and identity.


---

✝️ 3. Christ Restores the Right Image

> “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son…” — Romans 8:29
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…” — 2 Corinthians 5:17



Through salvation in Jesus, man’s true image is restored.

We no longer live by what the world or the past says about us — but by who Christ is in us.

Jesus is the perfect model of who man was meant to be — obedient, full of love, power, wisdom, and purpose.



🧠 4. Renewing the Mind: Building a Godly Self-Image

> “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” — Romans 12:2



A broken self-image must be healed by the Word of God.

God’s Word shows us who we are in Christ — not who we were in sin.

This transforms how we:

Think about ourselves

Approach life

Treat others

Receive love and correction



🕊️ 5. Man’s Identity in Christ (New Testament Realities)

Here’s how God sees man in Christ:




🙏 Final Thought:

> Your true self-image is not discovered — it is revealed by God’s Word.



When a man knows who he is in Christ, he walks in:

Purpose without confusion

Authority without pride

Humility without insecurity

Love without fear

Man's self-image refers to how a person sees and perceives themselves — mentally, emotionally, socially, and even spiritually. It’s the internal picture you carry of yourself, shaped by your beliefs, past experiences, culture, and how others have treated or spoken to you.

🧠 Breakdown of Man’s Self-Image:

1. Personal Identity

How you define yourself: "Who am I?"

Influenced by family, upbringing, education, and life experiences.



2. Self-Worth (Esteem)

How much value you place on yourself.

Do you feel worthy of love, success, and respect?



3. Self-Perception

How you think you appear to others: looks, intelligence, talent, etc.

Can be accurate or distorted.



4. Role in Society

How you see yourself in the world: provider, leader, father, innovator, etc.

Society and culture often shape this.



5. Spiritual Image (especially from a biblical or religious lens)

Many believe man is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26).

This implies man’s original self-image is one of glory, dominion, purpose, and creativity.



🔍 Example: Biblical View vs. Worldly View



🧱 Factors That Shape Self-Image

Family background

Trauma or failure

Praise and encouragement

Social media and culture

Faith or philosophy


🪞Why It Matters

A man’s self-image affects:

Decisions he makes

Relationships he builds

Confidence he carries

Vision for the future


Final Thought:

> “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7



To transform one’s life, self-image must be renewed — not through ego or pride, but through truth, healing, and purpose.
