PROPHETIC GLIMPSE INTO THE HOUR IN WHICH WE LIVE || Bishop David Oyedepo || Encounter Night

The Bible is a prophetic bank

Luke 1:45

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.

We are children of light and light does not struggle in darkness

Ephesians 5:8

 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

We are not to beg darkness but we are to dominate darkness

What is the agenda like from the eyes of scripture?

Where are we and how do we navigate our way to Jesus agenda for our life

We will be looking at;

5 spiritual challenges

5 social challenges

5 break news for the church

Darkness exists at the mercy of light

The strength of darkness is in the out of light

Power can’t clear darkness is light that clear darkness

Anointing can’t clear darkness is light that clear darkness

Isaiah 60:1

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

It is the entrance of the word that gives light

You can write what you read bit when it enters you it turns to light that subdues darkness

Prophetic words are not threats, but divine declaration of things that must be

Matthew 24:6-8

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Lk21:7-11

Prophetic scripture are not threat, they are not predictions

Five (5) spiritual challenges

1. Iniquity shall abound

Matthew  24:12

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Inequity shall abound in new model

It’s time to take cover towards iniquity

Life without Jesus is hell on earth

If you don’t want war against iniquity, it will cover you

It would expand and enlarge

2.  The love of many shall wax cold

You must keep your love on fire

The love of God entities you to wear Gods presence

It is assessing God that guarantee’s your dominion

3. The faith of many shall fail

Luke 18:8

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Weak Faith can’t stand the horrors of the hour

Invest in building your Faith

Work at building your Faith

Our Faith have u limited capacity for growth

Little Faith can’t ride the storm

Build your Faith and starve your doubt

Nobody can lay Faith for you

The spirit of Faith require the word to stay alive

1 Timothy 4:1.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Don’t wait for faith to grow, grow your faith

4. Many receivers and false teachers shall arise

2 peter 2:1-3

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

It’s an insult that God need a man to be God

We are not giving to meet Gods need

We’re giving for God to meet all our needs

Act 8:20

 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Titus 1:10

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

1 timothy 4:1-2

5.  Many shall be offended and give up on God in this hour

Matthew 11:16

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

Luke 17:1

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

To be offended in Hod is to sign up for failure

Refuse to be offended in God, it would keep opening new chapters in your life

Let the Joy of the Lord keep you going

There is always what to endure before you get to the realm of what to enjoy

Psalm 31:15.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

God does not need us to be God

If you don’t want to loose your peace keep pace with God

Refuse to be offense in God so not to get stranded in life

Social challenges of the hour

1. Wars and rumors of wars

At this point is the only divine security

Without a divine covering anybody can be erased

Exodus 12:12

For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

Your faith must be in place and your love must be burning

We can’t pray these things off but we can take cover against them

The Good News Of The Hour

Matthew 24:14

 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Global spiritual awakening 

The end time is the golden age of the church

It’s a time of horror for the world but a time of honor for the church

-The church shall occupy a central stage at the vent of the world

Micah 4:2

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Deut18:18.

– outbreak of revelation

Isaiah 11:9

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Jeremiah 31:34

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Light will scatter any degree of darkness any day anytime anywhere

Isaiah 60:8

Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

Psalm 87:1-7

 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6 The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Joel2:1

As God begin to promote his people the anger of the wicked shall rise

Luke 21:18

But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Num23:20

Five (5 ) things to do to get on God side at this time

1. Continue to build your faith

2. Continue to war against sin

3. Begin to grow in your dedication to God and the interest of His kingdom

4. Begin to build bulwarks against spiritual deception by revelation of the truth, keep building your revelation bank that will expose falsehood when they come where you are

5. Keep Building our Love for God

God’s side is the ever winning side, receive grace required to remain on God’s side permanently
