Popular cleric Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has again sparked reactions among Nigerians after emphasing the necessity of confidential declarations in commanding the phenomena of spiritual life.
According to his message, it is impossible for one to manifest divine power without a vocal approach, stressing that believers should speak in faith and bid their utterances with the promises of God.
He also added that Jesus had the capacity to resist God’s command but chose to submit to God’s will.
Speaking about faith and declaration, the Clergyman revealed that one can also declare in faith what he aspires and it shall come to pass.
His words:
“He said to Pilate, ‘You will have no power over me. If I manifest now, you will be smelling,’”
“It’s impossible to command the supernatural with closed mouth. Jesus, the most anointed that ever walked the planet Earth said, “He was brought to judgement, yet He opened not His mouth” – because it was the way to go, He was on the way there. There is no closed mouth that can command the supernatural. Isaiah 53:7…but if you get down to John 18 when they came against Him “whom seek ye?” – ‘Jesus’ and they fell backward. He had all the power but “I have not come to do my will but thine will, O God.”Nobody could have taken His life from Him. He said to Pilate “you will have no power over me. If I manifest now, you will be smelling.”
“You can’t command the supernatural with “I can’t say I’m healed when I’m not healed. I want to be true to myself.” satan says, “yes, you are a very true man. Just be true. Be true abeg.” Before I saw money, I had already declared, “I can never be poor.” Before I tasted marriage, I had declared, “set for hitch free marriage.” What are your declarations? Have you ever declared anything that you stood with? We are not redeemed as robots. We have the facts of Scriptures to live a fulfilled life.”
Nigerians couldn’t hold their nerves and reacted massively via all the social media platforms.
