Title: GATEWAYS TO FLOURISHING IN HARD TIMES: A Call For Spiritual Renewal Towards Flourishing in Hard Times
Ministering: Bishop David Oyedepo
Your rescue from these hard times demands spiritual renewal for delivery. - Heb. 2:3, Col. 1:13
Your rescue begins with salvation but demands spiritual renewal for delivery. - Heb. 2:3, Col. 1:8
Behind the struggles of the redeemed is a lack of the fear of the Lord.
Nothing flies in hard times like the fear of the Lord.
Daniel was indestructible because he was living in the fear of the Lord. - Dan. 6:4-5
The fear of God gives you your place in space.
It is your spiritual stand that determines your flourishing in hard times.
Jesus is the Sun of Righteousness; when you align with Him, you reflect His glory without stress.
You lose everything when you lose your stand with God. - Judg. 16:20-21
Activity is not the same as spirituality.
Your stewardship cannot be any more profitable than your spirituality
You are not changed by what you read, hear or preach; you are changed by what you see. - 2 Cor. 3:18
Stay permanently on duty, and God will keep paying you without retiring.
There is nowhere sin is justified in the Bible. It is an aberration!
It’s time to renew your spiritual life to maximize Gods agenda over your life.
If sin does not become a thing of the past in your life, it will block your way into the future.
It is time to reposition!
Faith with a pure conscience is the faith that works.
Transformation begins with a renewal of the mind.
You must reposition spiritually to possess your possessions.
Your inheritance demands sanctification for delivery.
Sin is not your friend; it is your enemy! - Isa. 25:6
It is not enough to be born again, you must endeavor to stay alive in Christ by denouncing sin in all its ramifications.
Sin can kill and destroy.
Sin may be pleasurable, but if you live and walk in it, you are dead!
