Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide spoke at the Hour of Visitation, Shiloh 2021. While talking about the need for everyone to have access to the word of God, he revealed that nothing destroys doubt like access to the voice of God. He read the book of Psalm 39:4-6 which says:
“The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.”
According to him, nothing destroys a believer like a lack of access to that voice. It stagnates, frustrates, and can be devastating. He said that His voice is behind His Word. God’s Word is defined as the waters, whatever you find there shall not come back void, it shall accomplish that which I purpose. The voice of God is upon the waters. Every verse of scriptures carries God’s voice behind it.
He further explained that to scale the utmost height in life, you don’t need to know any man, just know God. It was intoxicant because limited or vain is the help of man. When a man takes you, he can only take you to how far his hand can go, but when the everlasting arm of God takes you from the far, far behind, He throws you up to the highest height and His name is the Highest and His hand is higher than Him.
He said that we got into the privileged mystery of hitch-free marriage by heaven’s dictate. He was asking God and he said that God may not answer you the day you are asking Him but watch out for His answer, He always answers by a voice to establish His covenant with His people. He said that God told him that “I have not ordained marriage for better and for worse. I wasn’t the One, religious people did that. My ordination for marriage is that two are better than one and they have a good reward for their labour” – Ecclesiastes 4:9, Deuteronomy 32:30
He was looking for a paper that he could write it on because He was dictating the answers to the prayers he had been praying and the books he had been reading to him in a public vehicle. God dictated to him the 7 concepts of marriage. He never read that in all the 8 books he read and he stood up from that place with a declaration, “Set for hitch-free marriage.”
Finally, he said that God’s voice thunders, His instructions are through the channel of a still small voice. But behind is thundering. He said that he has never seen a temptation to borrow. He just enjoys contentment at every of his life with excitement. “There is no self-pity, with utmost excitement. I enjoy God’s grace,” he said.
Throughout this awesome scheme of things you’ll receive an A+ just for effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually misplaced me ended up being on all the specifics. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more correct right here. Having said that, allow me tell you what did work. The text is actually rather powerful and this is most likely why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can easily notice the jumps in reason you make, I am not really convinced of exactly how you appear to connect the points which in turn help to make the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but trust in the near future you link your facts much better.
Very interesting points you have remarked, thanks for posting.
