Message Title:The Covenant of Success
MInistering: Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr.
Failures and mediocres have no place among kingdom entities.
Success is the heritage of every child of God.
The end-time Church is ordained to succeed where previous generations failed.
Every child of God is a wonder to the world. – Ps. 87:6
Luck is the excuse of failures.
Luck is dictionary defined as success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s own actions.
Success is not accidental.
Success in the kingdom is enjoyed by applying specific demands of the covenant.
Capacity development is a critical demand for success.
Don’t jump at every opportunity so you don’t damage your destiny.
When God is leading you, even in the desert, you cannot suffer.
Direction is your heritage in redemption and the pathway to experience the future God has created for you.
When God is the One directing your steps, you end up in the course of success.
The key to standing out is being led by God.
Until you are led by the Spirit, you cannot rule your world. – Rom. 8:14.
Those who can hear what others cannot hear and see what others cannot see, can stand where others cannot stand.
Follow the leading Spirit of God; it is a critical demand for success.
There is a demand for development in any area God has sent you to -Ps. 78:71-72.
It is the preparation of today that determines the decoration of tomorrow – 2 Tim. 2:15.
To be a success, cultivate the capacity and the potential within you to make yourself a candidate for what God has ordained for you.
Discipline is being able to distinguish between the lawful and the expedient.
It is not everything that is available to you that is necessary for you.
Discipline is the capacity to restrain desires and delay gratification. – 1 Cor. 6:12
Discipline is the control valve of destiny.
Your mind is your life’s factory; your thoughts eventually become the outcome of your life.
1. It is being able to distinguish between the lawful and the expedient. – 1 Cor. 10:23
2. It is the capacity to restrain desires and delay gratifications. – 1 Cor. 6:12
You cannot dissociate diligence from excellence; it takes labour to access great heights.
No man’s discrimination can limit you when you fully engage the covenant of success.
