Message Title: Unlocking the Supernatural (Part 2A)Speaker: Bishop David Oyedepo 08|09|2024

The supernatural is the hallmark of the end-time church. Signs and wonders are the hallmarks of the end-time church as well.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. Hebrews 5:12 – 13.

But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

Joel 2: 20 – 29.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

Acts 2:17 – 29.

As a redeemed child of God, you carry the supernatural in your inside; you just need to learn how to unlock it.
“If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.” Proverbs 9:12.

You need to train and improve your skills to retain command of the supernatural. You don’t develop capacity by potential but by potential utilization.

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:13 – 14.

The Word of God is a seed that needs to be sown for it to grow. It would abide alone until it’s sown
“But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.” Mark 4:32.

Training is what helps us to sow the seed of the word; it is not by collecting seeds but by sowing the seeds. Training builds capacity through access to the word for you to grow.
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7.

The potentials are within but you must build capacity through access to the rod of the Word and engagement with the rod. According to the Scriptures, things will get tougher in the world, so the earlier you take cover in the supernatural, the better for you. The earlier you take a strong position in the supernatural the better for you.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. Malachi 4:1 – 2.

When you keep engaging the Word, you keep changing levels of authority. You are responsible for the outcome of your life. You can’t blame anyone, not even the devil.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. Galatians 1:11 – 18.

Therefore, take responsibility for the changes you want to see!
Every truth confirmed as signs and wonders is a validation of heaven.

Any truth you have not proven will never have proof in your life.

A time will come when the strength of humans will fail and no skill on earth will be able to stand the test of time. Discoveries from the Word puts you in command of the supernatural. It is only the Word you put to work that will turn into a testimony in your life.
But the supernatural is real, and no skill on earth can match it!
Spiritual maturity is not a function of age but about your spiritual disposition to the things of the Spirit.

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” Job 32:8.

Spiritual authority is only entrusted to mature believers.

“And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.” Luke 1:80.

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Galatians 4:1 – 2.

It is time to subscribe to training by taking personal responsibility and discipline. It is time for you to grow if you don’t want to groan. Every child of God is a candidate for spiritual growth but you must be willing to grow.

“And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:” Mark 4:11.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10.

Spiritual positioning will help you gain command over the affairs of life. Every believer who must operate in the supernatural must be committed to building spiritual capacity. The Word of God is the principal source for building spiritual capacity.

Enough is Enough Ministration
Every affliction or plague of long continuance is a manifestation of the curse of the law but Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the law.

That curse was broken when Jesus rose from the dead.

“But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.” Galatians 3:23.

“Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.” Deuteronomy 28:59.

You are not permitted to suffer for long. Suffering beyond a day or a while is contrary to your right in redemption.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;” 2Corinthians 4:17.
“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalms 30:5.

“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” 2 Corinthians 6:2.

“How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?” Numbers 23:8.

If you are ready for your miracle today, God is ready too.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Proverbs 3:27 – 28.

Therefore, anything that torments any area of your life is destroyed today!
To take delivery of your enough is enough right, you must enter into a covenant to serve God and He will give you rest roundabout.

“And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.” 2 Samuel 24:16.

It is time to engage with the violence of faith. Enough is enough!

“And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.” 2 Chronicles 15:15.

The Holy Communion Ministration

The communion is a life-infusing mystery.
“I am that bread of life.” John 6:48.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6:51 – 53.

It stirs the life of Christ to come alive in you.
“As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.” John 6:57.
“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” John 14:9.

It is ordained to terminate sicknesses, diseases, and oppressions.
“For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” 1 Corinthians 11:26.
“For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.” 1 Corinthians 11:30.
Therefore, as you partake of the communion table today, every hand of the enemy over your life is stayed!
