THE BLESSEDNESS OF SOUL WINNING
THE BLESSEDNESS OF SOUL WINNING
“… Run, speak unto this young man, saying, jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein. For I,saith the lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be glory in the midst of her.” Zech 2:4-5
Soul winning remains the most profitable endeavour and will actually qualify to be called the master key of life in the kingdom.
The bible recognizes every soul winners as a fisherman-matt 4:19. And according to scriptures, there is a coin in the mouth of every fish caught.
“Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take,and give unto them for me and thee” Matt 17:27
Piece of money here simply means a coin.
If only people will know how much value GOD places on human souls and how much reward await every soul winner,we would have fulfilled the great commission.
Jesus said, “…for what is a man profited, if he sahll gain the whole world,and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matt 16:26
That implies that the wealth of the whole world put together cannot compare in value with the worth of a reddemed soul. No wonders Jesus went further to say that there is joy in heaven for every one soul that repent –LK 15:7 Because the value of a redeemed soul is inestimable, the reward that accrues to a soul winner is equally inestimable.
Jesus went further to say; and he that reapeth receiveth wages, and (as he gathereth fruit unto life eternal). John 4:35 That means that God pays every soul winner and ingatherer.
Why do I say that there is a coin in the mouth of every fish? Jesus said, “…go thou to the sea, and cast an hook,and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth,thou shalt find a piecfe of money: that take , and give unto them for me and thee” . - Matt 17:27
He did not ask them to search out which of the fishes has a coin. This implies that there must be a coin in the mouth of every fish caught. There ia s coin in the mouth of every fish. But we cannot access the coin until you have caught the fish. Let’s therefore go a-fishing so that we can access our divine wages. John 4:35
What then is the worth of this coin and how much value does this coin carry?
DIVINE FAVOUR
Divine favour is the gateway to fortune in life. –John 15:16, -Ps. 102:13-15
DIVINE HEALTH
Every fruit-bearing branch is entitled to divine health. Because the labourers are few, he is committed to keeping fit the few – John 15:2 A faithful ambassador is entitled to sound health. –prov.13:17
DIVINE WISDOM
Soul winning makes wise – Dan 12:3, Prov 11:30
DIVINE PRESERVATION
Every fruit bearing tree enjoys supernatural sustainability.--- Lk 13:6-9. John 15:2 Any branch that does not bear fruit, He takes away – Jn 15:2
DIVINE IMMUNITY
Every one reconciling souls to Christ is an ambassador and ambassador is entitled to immunity in the nation of his stewardship. – 2Cor 5:20
SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH
Peter invested in reaching out to souls by offering his boat and he has supernatural breakthrough as his reward. Every soul winner is entitled to supernatural breakthrough (Lk 5:1-7).
SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES
Soul winning connects one to supernatural supplies “And he that reapeth, receiveth wages …” John 4:36, Lk 22:35
SUPERNATURAL BEAUTIFICATION
Soul winning supernatural beautifies the soul winner “… How beautifiul are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace…” – Rm 10:15,Ps. 149:4
SIGNS AND WONDERS
Soul winning commands the flow of signs and wonders “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the lord working with (them), and confirming the word with signs following.” (Mk 16:20, John 14:21)
CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Soul winning guarantees a crown of righteousness “Henceforth ther is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,which the lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2Tim 4:8)
Soul winning qualifies you as one tha loves his appearing, and for all that love His appearing, a crown of righteousness awaits them.
In this season of harvest, arise to fulfill the waves of glory prophecy by emgaging actively in soul winning this year.
Jesus is Lord!

UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT OF FINANCIAL FORTUNE
SIGNS AND WONDERS TODAY
MAY 27 2012 EDITION WEEKLY PUBLICATION
UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT OF
FINANCIAL FORTUNE
By David O.Oyedepo
As we move forward in the teaching series for this month, ‘My case is Different’ there is need for us to understand our covenant status with GOD. Redemption clearly defines our peculiarity.
But ye are a chosen generation….(1 Peter 2:9). Ye are the light of the world…(matt 5:13-15).
That is why every child of GOD is ordained to be envied, not to be pitied, because redemption has made our case to be different; but understanding will make it evident. Therefore, in this edition, we are looking at, ‘Understanding the root of financial fortune.’
How is your case different?
Your case is different, but understanding is what defines difference.
Prov.21:16 says “the man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”
You won’t be better than the dead when you lack understanding; and the dead, means, the unsaved, “for he that hath Christ hath life, and he that hath not Christ, hath not life.”
That means your case won’t be different except by understanding.
Col 1;9 says;… and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Your depth of understanding will determine the clarity of your difference.
Matt 13:23 says: “but he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understanding it….”
Those that fell on good ground are they who receive the word of God, understand it, and then, went forth and brought forth fruits. the only variable in that equation is understanding. So you need a deep enough understanding for a clear enough difference.
WHAT IS THE ROOT OF TRUE PROSPERITY?
True prosperity begins with your spiritual prosperity: financial fortune is a provision that demands a quality walk with God. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 2. Abraham the blessed was Abraham the friend of God. Before that, we were told about his father David; “I have found me a man after my own heart, a neighbour of thine that is better than thou.” 1 Samuel 15:28. So, God weighs our spirituality. Your covenant practice will only deliver to the level of your spirituality, if it goes beyond that, you will crash. Spirituality is key to true prosperity; it puts you in command of supernatural supplies. But his delight is in the law of the lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water…. Ps 1:1-3
It is not a game of give and receive, it’s a quality walk with God: it doesn’t answer to those who ask, it answer to those who connect. And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father… 1 king 3:3. That was his launching pad into a world of financial fortune. The bible says God told Solomon, “I will give you even that which you have not asked for”
It does not answer to those who craves for it, but to those who crave after God: It does not answer to those who love it; it answers to those who love God. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing ( Ps 34:10). In fact, those who love money enter into trouble; that is what the bible says. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, … 1 Tim 6:9. There are too many money cravers in the kingdom. God has no place anywhere in their heart. “I must make it by all means,” so they become fraudsters, start taking and giving bribes, looting government treasury, and playing games in their companies. And because the curse of the lord is in the house of thief, they live under a curse without knowing. But love for God empowers you to be in command of gold.

THE WAY OF GOD
"And it came to pass,when the Vessels were full,that she said unto her son,Bring me yet a Vessel. And he said unto her,There is not a Vessel more. And the Oil stayed."(2 Kings 4 vs 6). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.Prior to the miracle of the Increase of Oil as recorded in today's Scripture Focus,Prophet Elisha instructed the woman to borrow as many vessels as possible. These Vessels were meant to contain the Oil that God was about to release. Now, notice carefully that when all the borrowed vessels were filled, the flow of Oil stopped.The Oil stopped when there were no more containers to receive the Oil. The Oil stopped flowing when there was no more space to contain more Oil. God's release of Oil was limited by the (un)availability of Vessels.Very Often,God's release upon our lives is limited because we have limited space to receive. God desires to fill us more with his anointing and grace but most times, we don't have deep desire to receive. God desires to do amazing things in our families but our expectations are often too low. He desires to make us attain great heights but often, there is no space in our thoughts or expectations for His Out-pouring!Today,God says,MAKE MORE SPACE! Develop a deep hunger and thirst for God. Make room for the Holy Spirit to fill your mind with visions and ideas that will rule your world. Discard these worries that have filled your mind and allow God's Presence do its perfect work in you! Increase your expectations as you desire Divine attention in your Career. Make room for Divine Healing, don't just be stuck with doctors and their reports. Increase you desire for Excellence in your Career, Business and Academics. Make more room for God today!Raise the bar of your expectations! How it will be fulfilled is simply GOD'S BUSINESS not yours!Pray with me,"Lord,I create more space for you in my Life".Have a Blessed Friday! You have been designed to dazzle!Keep Dazzling! U are d Best! Shalom.

BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLE OF GOD
"And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked.."(John 5 vs 8-9). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.Before the man at the Pool of Bethesda got healed,he could not carry his bed. Because of his condition,he could not do much to help himself. Because of his condition he needed men to carry him to the Pool. He could not move freely around. He was "carried" by his bed. His condition confined him to his bed. The bed carried him for several years.Notice that when Jesus intervened,the same man who was "carried" by his bed,started carrying the same bed that carried him. When Jesus stepped in,the Man at the Pool of Bethesda did what he could not do previously. The "CARRIED" became the "CARRIER".Have you ever been at that point in life when it seems like you are been carried by people or things? It is that point in Destiny when we seem to be dependent on our Jobs, Family or Friends to help us pull through. Because of Financial crisis, we rely on others to come through for us. Ill health makes us depend on others and drugs. Situations often rob us of the capacity to do what we should ordinarily do.Friend,God's intervention will empower you to do what you could not do before. God's intervention will make you carry whatever carried you in the past. When God turns your story around, the things and people you previously depended on will suddenly begin to depend on you!God's intervention will make you a pillar to families you may have previously depended on. God's intervention in your career/business will take you beyond the place of monthly income. God's intervention in your Journey through life lifts you up from the place of being a LIABILITY to the place of being an ASSET!Beloved, Declare this with me with every faith on the inside of you,"I WILL CARRY WHATSOEVER CARRIED ME IN THE PAST;I AM IN CHARGE"!Pray with me,"Lord,I declare over my life that I am an Asset not a Liability". U are d best!! Have a Blessed Thursday!

THE WORD OF GOD
"Then Isaac sowed in that Land, and received in the same year an hundred fold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great".(Genesis 26 vs 12,13). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.When Isaac stayed back and sowed in the Land of the Philistines according to God's instructions,he had a hundred fold harvest. It is interesting to observe that the Philistines had closed up all Isaac's sources of water. His Sources of Irrigation had been destroyed by the Philistines. Guess what: HE STILL PROSPERED! Despite the fact that Isaac had no well to draw water for irrigation,his crops still gave a hundred fold harvest. Though no ready source of water to feed his flocks and herds, the flocks and herds kept multiplying and never died of thirst. Despite the fact than an essential element for survival in the desert(WATER) appeared to be missing, his progress did not stop.Friend, don't ever stop your Journey in life or in your vocation because of what you think is missing. Don't ever imagine that what you don't have will stop you. Anytime that something is missing in your life is God's opportunity to show himself strong and mighty on your behalf! God will prosper you despite the unfavorable business environment. God will bless your career even when there are stumbling blocks.2 Corinthians 12 vs 8(MESSAGE TRANSLATION) captures it in an amazing light: "And then God told me,My Grace is enough; its all you need. My Strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and begin appreciating the gift. It was a case strength moving in on my weakness".Beloved, though things may seem missing and your handicap obvious in some areas, You will still fulfill your destiny . You remain UNSTOPPABLE!Pray with me,"My handicap will not stop me,I will prosper in Season and out of Season in Jesus name".Have a Fruitful Wednesday! U are born 2 Overcome! Arise & Shine! Shalom.

MERCY OF GOD
MERCY OF GOD
What is mercy? Mercy in a very simple term is forgiveness or show kindness particularly to a wrongdoer. As someone dwelling in the flesh do you know the extend of your wrongdoing to your fellow Christian even unbeliever! But despite this he still forgives us because he never wanted us to die as a sinner he gave us second chance for everything we do wrong, isn’t it so wonderful?
Ezra 3:11.And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the lord; because he is good, “for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel”. And the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the lord, because the foundation of the house of the lord was laid.
The mercy of GOD can never be quantify because we receives his mercy in abundant. Even though we leave in sin his mercy still kept us from the hand of the evil doers.luke 18:13 says; GOD be merciful to me a sinner. Even if your are the greatest sinner despite bible never differentiate sin.(sin is sin)no little sin and no big sin but he will still have mercy over you. In death his mercy still abounds over us as long as you are ready to give up your sin and commit your life to him.
Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy Mathew 5:7 be a blessed child of GOD today so that you can receive unlimited mercy over your life.

FAVOR OF GOD
FAVOR OF GOD
The bible says for his anger last only for a moment, but his favor last a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night but joy comes in the morning psalm 30:5
Knowing fully well that if you believe in GOD his favor will forever be in our life everything you touch will falls into places for your goods.
GOD never ask for anything in return to do a greater favor in our life, all he needs is giving your life to him “submit everything you have and commit yourself unto him then favor will abound from every corners of life”.
Do you know that the men of these world will ask for something in return if they do you a favor ,either you pay in money as a man or you pay with your body as a woman, which simply means the man of these world can let us down and fail you if you never yield to their demand “but Jesus can never let you down nor fail you” so your favor lies with him ,call him and he’s more than ready to answer you before it is too late.

Guidance in GOD
Guidance in GOD
Besides the spiritual side of life there is also the practical side of life.
Though both are entwined, they are quite different in nature and
approach.
People who are spiritually aware will always try to seek out divine
revelations or interventions in whatever foray they are a part of. The
general perception is, if there is divine intervention then the
possibility of any negative presence will be eliminated or controlled
and all will be well.
Ask For Help
Some of the questions that can be asked in order to affirm spiritual
guidance are as follows:
• Is this in harmony with God’s Word?
• Is it what the scripture encourages?
• Does it follow God’s rule and will?
• Am I being prompted by the Holy Spirit?
• Would my conduct be in line with God’s righteousness?
There is a lot of vagueness and hesitation when embarking on
something new, especially if there are a lot of risks involved. Being at
peace is a very important feature to have to ensure the smoothness of
the foray in question. By practicing the mindset that constantly seeks
divine guidance; some of the above hesitations based on the questions
can be addressed and answered effectively and clearly. However these answers for guidance can only be gotten when there is a spiritual link that is very strong and sincere.
Most teaching encourage seeking divine guidance for everything in life be it big or small, important or otherwise. When this habit is formed due to frequent practice, the body, and mind become in tuned with the spiritual inner self and thus drawing from this will be easier. Another popular train of thought is that by seeking divine guidance, there is absolutely no room for error when the guidance is ardently followed. If there are any errors to be found it would be on the side of the individual for not following the divine guidance totally.
Besides the spiritual side of life there is also the practical side of life.

Ask For Help
Some of the questions that can be asked in order to affirm spiritual
guidance are as follows:
• Is this in harmony with God’s Word?
• Is it what the scripture encourages?
• Does it follow God’s rule and will?
• Am I being prompted by the Holy Spirit?
• Would my conduct be in line with God’s righteousness?
There is a lot of vagueness and hesitation when embarking on
something new, especially if there are a lot of risks involved. Being at
peace is a very important feature to have to ensure the smoothness of
the foray in question. By practicing the mindset that constantly seeks
divine guidance; some of the above hesitations based on the questions
can be addressed and answered effectively and clearly. However these answers for guidance can only be gotten when there is a spiritual link that is very strong and sincere.
Most teaching encourage seeking divine guidance for everything in life be it big or small, important or otherwise. When this habit is formed due to frequent practice, the body, and mind become in tuned with the spiritual inner self and thus drawing from this will be easier. Another popular train of thought is that by seeking divine guidance, there is absolutely no room for error when the guidance is ardently followed. If there are any errors to be found it would be on the side of the individual for not following the divine guidance totally.
PLEASURE OF GOD TO MANKIND
PLEASURE OF GOD TO MANKIND
From the word of God, he created all things including man for his pleasure, Rev 4:11. He made us to be happy about us; he delights so much pleasure in us. He did created us so that we might derived pleasure through him and for him, he never seek any permission or ask any question from us before giving us the everlasting pleasure and enjoyment, and the only way we can really enjoy his pleasure is to meet up to his expectations, to be happy and joyful for him all the days of our life” when we accept his begotten son as our personal lord and savior.
God wants us to always be happy because you don’t make him or others happy when you’re not happy yourself. Even for you to be happy you need the peace and comfort of GOD in your life by giving up all your sinful ways and accept him into your life that is when you can be happy and GOD will be happy with you too.
I pray the zeal and the commitment to make that decision today will be permanent. SHALLOM

My dear brother and sister what is that thing you seek from GOD! That is yet to be answer?
GOD has made everything beautiful in his face and in our present “that whatever we lack we will surely give to us. But due to our sin it looks as if our prayers are not answered!
Some have prayed with no season, some are still praying and never get tire but it looks as if when will he (GOD) answer our prayers. Devil perfected a strategy so that we can challenge GOD for not answering our prayers. devil distract us with so many things during the cause of fasting and praying ‘but we have forgotten that we are dealing with flesh and devil has power over the flesh except you’ve committed your body and soul to GOD that is when it will be very difficult for the devil to manipulate our body.
So my dearest don’t you give up on that particular issue you’re expecting GOD to do for you. As many as we are on these earth he knows your individual thought and our needs. “So don’t lose hope because it could be your turn tomorrow to makeways”. Today might not be your turn but don’t give up “your miracle is on the way”.

SUFFERING FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN
SUFFERING FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN
The word of GOD says he has conquer the world all for our sake, whatever the trial you are going through he has overcome the world we should not be surprised at the painful trial or suffering we are going through now because Jesus has already prophesies that we shall go through tribulation in the world but if we are steadfast in whatever we are going through we will conquer he said rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ. So that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:13
Suffering because of our lord Jesus Christ or you are insulted because of him is a blessing and everlasting peace. The bible says if you suffer as a Christian do not be ashamed, but praised God that you bear that name 1 Peter 4:16.
The major reason why we have Jesus Christ that he came to die for our sin is because you and I are Christian he’s existing all because of us, he said am going to my father house to prepare a place for us in his father (GOD) kingdom “in my father house there are many mansion there” do you know that dose mansion are built for you and I as a Christian “the follower of Jesus Christ”.
So what will be your faith at the end of the day when the trumpet shall sound if you can deny your loyalty as a Christian? Now is the time to move closer to your God and proclaim your Christianity as a follower of Jesus Christ.

HOLY GHOST POWER
HOLY GHOST POWER
The bible makes us to understand that there are 3 bodies that embodied the power of God in our life .God the father, of the son and the holy spirit, even if believed in the God of father and son without holy spirit you are still not banded with the power of God to make heaven.
Facts about the power of the Holy Ghost
The word of God says when we received the power, after the holy ghost has come upon us, we shall be witnesses unto him both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Act 1:8
Power means, the ability to act with force, the ability to do something effectively while spiritual power means the ability to do ordinary things in an extra ordinary way. This is the greatest power from God.
Why do we lack the power?
Most Christians today lack the power of the Holy Spirit, even some fake pastors and ministers that called themselves worker of God lack holy ghost power, without holy spirit, the presence of God will never moved, without holy spirit miracle cannot happened, without holy spirit sick cannot be heal and blind can not see. And what are the basic reasons of lacking Holy Spirit?
1. Sin 2tim 2:19-20
2. Pride
3. Laziness
4. Lack of keeping the commandment of God.
Sin
What is sin – Sin is an offense or revolt against God ungodliness, wickedness and iniquity [Isaiah 59:12-14, mark 2:7and gal 1:4].
Pride
Placing yourself above what you can do, attaching the work of God to be self achieving and God despised it, even Bible condemned it. Proverb 16:18 (i.e.) vanity.
Laziness proverb 13:4
You have to work for what you eat; never you never expect manna to fall from heaven.
Lack of keeping the commandment of God- Mathew 19:17, Mathew 22:36-38, John 14:15.
What to do to keep the power of Holy Spirit in us
1. Repentance of sin; Luke 13:3, Act 3:19,Act 2:38
2. Obedience; roman 1:5, 6:16, roman 16:26, Eph 5:6
3. Carry the cross; Mathew 16:24,Mathew 10:38
The holy spirit demonstrate his power over us by bringing out living from dead, by giving us the spirit of knowledge, wisdom and understanding, holy spirit gives us steadfastness in everything we do never allow us to fall into temptation or devil to overcome us. Moreso Holy Spirit gives us the power to pray to save and to withstand evil deed.
So my beloved brethren the holy spirit is the spirit of power” holy ghost power is available to all believer”. Lack of power affects the life and testimony of believers.
I pray that my heavenly father will restore the power in you to fulfill your destiny in Jesus name.
Anything or anybody that will not allow the power of Holy Ghost to manifest in your life should be burn by fire.

DOING GOOD AT ALL TIME
DOING GOOD AT ALL TIME
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again-William Penn.
God gave us only one life and how do we spend that life! Will it be for good or bad, what are the good things you are doing to enhance the betterment of your environment or your world,and what are the bad things you are doing to create problems, unrest in people’s life or your environment? The e bible says after dead judgment, have you done anything that can justify good judgment? At the end of your life or you never care what happened after your demise heaven is real so also hell.
We have just only one life to live and if the life is gone judgment you can’t come back to make any amendment again. Infact those good you neglected to do will reflect back to you at point of judgment the question on your lips then will be can I go back to do those things I’ve failed to do right! But that will never be possible again “TOO LATE”
Do good today never you said “I’ve done enough goods I don’t want to do it again” that is not a better justification to stop doing good. Decide now tomorrow might be too late.shallom

ARE YOU ON THE SIDE OF GOD?
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year to you my fellow brethren in Christ, the journey has being so hectic and tedious but despite that we still made it, is it by your power? Many felt on their way, many got tired that they couldn’t continue and many felt enough is enough many couldn’t make it.
But you made it through even though you were so tired on your way, sometimes you got fed up but you still believe the journey is not over, is it by your power?
Year 2011 had been a glorious year so far even for me and my family and I believe the same thing for you. And if your expectation has not being met never you give up because year 2012 is full of testimonies so all you need is just moving closer to your maker the author of our soul, he will do exceedly greater things in your life, whatever you need from God place it before him and he will do it just.
But before that you need to accept him as your personal savior give your life to him so that he can be in charge of it let him dwell in you and do that greater things which you’ve being waiting for.
Some times you keep wondering why is it that some unrighteous people are doing greater things?. but the righteous are not getting any meaningful things. My brethren that shouldn’t be for you to judge let God. Even though unbelievers are doing greater things which you can not do, but do you know the source of those things they are doing. Instead of making a case study against them, why not make your immediate life your priority, Your own life should be the most important to you and God, your relationship with God matter most in everything we do.
Knowing that is not easy to live the luxury of this world to follow Jesus but be certain that everything will vanish away, he said vanity upon vanity all is vanity, everything is of the world. The book of mark 8:36 says “for what will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul “even if you have the best cars and the best houses at the highbrow area in the city everything will vanish away some day.
Imagine those that have gone (dead) do they left with anything or are they buried with they properties. NO, and the bible after dead judgment and what will be your case before God what you acquired on these life will not be the basic of judgment in the presence of God after inheriting the whole world and neglect the voice of God in your life.
My brethren year 2012 should be a year of decision making for the greater turn around of your life so that God can perfect his work in our life.
Happy New Year, may it be a prosperous year for us. AMEN.
