BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO SHARES SOME SCRIPTURES THAT TRANSFORMED HIS LIFE AS A YOUNG MAN MIND YOUR THOUGHTS, THEY EITHER MAKE YOU OR BRÉAK YOU NO ONE EVER ARRIVES AT A FUTURE THAT HE CANNOT SEE FROM SCRIPTURE GOD RESPONDS MORE TO WHAT WE SAY WITHIN THAN TO WHAT OUR MOUTHS DECLARE - Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE EVER WINNING WEAPON OF WISDOM 2A at Covenant Family Day Service || 15th June 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || Part B The battle we don't win on the inside, we cannot win on the outside. Mark 11:23. The biblical proof of a battle won within is rest. Hebrews 4:10. 1 John 5:4. Church Gist. You win the battle of the mind, you enter into rest. God has reserved rest for us but it's only accessible by faith. Hebrews 4:9-10. There's no strategy other than the Word to win the battle of the mind. Proverbs 4:20-23. For example, I've said severally, no one ever arrives at a future that he cannot see from Scriptures. Genesis 13:14-15. Church Gist. So, whatever we see from Scriptures, we have committed God to make it happen. Ephesians 1:18. So, we see with the eyes of understanding what God has in store for us. No shortcut. To win the war of the mind, God's Word must dwell in your heart richly. Colossians 3:16. Church Gist. Whatever we cannot imagine, we cannot make happen. Genesis 11:6. My words, anytime a believer says, "I don't think so" to any truth of Scriptures, he's simply saying, "I don't believe that" and it's what you believe that you're empowered to experience. John 1:12. Luke 1:45. Church Gist. Whatever you don't think so when the Word says so, you don't believe it and don't expect to tap into what it carries. It is seeing through the eyes of the Scriptures and believing that Supernaturally secures our supernatural future and establishes our generation afterwards. Church Gist. What you see from Scriptures today is what awaits you tomorrow. Because as you believe, you begin to behave so, you begin to act so and it goes on to transform the lives of such individuals. I believe here that God responds more to what we say within than to what our mouths declare. Church Gist. They couldn't hear what Anna was saying but she was pouring her soul to Heaven and God answered her. The woman with the issue of blood said within herself, not to nobody else, no voice was heard and the flow of blood ceased. Church Gist. Mind your thoughts, they either make you or break you. According to Scriptures for example, we have guaranteed victory, healing, protection, dominion over sin, fruitfulness, hitch-free marriage, etcetera, from Scriptures but we have to align our thoughts and believe in the light of these positions before we can experience them. Church Gist. All of this is what makes the mind the battlefield of life. Let me share some wonders of truths received and the transformation that came along in my own little life. At 16, I saw from Scriptures, you have been redeemed as a priest and a king to reign on the earth. Church Gist. Royal thoughts engulfed my mind and that brought about royal behaviours and the end result is affirmations. "Will a king shout on the street? No, stop that! Will a king be wrestling and boxing? No". Church Gist. Every Word truly received renews the mind, redefines the behaviour and propels corresponding action. I received the Word, "seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness", Jesus said so, I think so and believed in its validity and it has continued to deliver amazing results till date. Church Gist. Now, wait, it's not the Word we hear, read or study that renews our mind, but the Word we receive. No matter how much you speak about a seed, until it is sown in the earth, it'll never grow and bear fruits. Church Gist. It's the Word we receive that renews the mind and transforms our lives. So, wait on the truth until you receive it. And I began to work since 1976 till date. From His Word, I found that He has a plan of shining more and more till the perfect day, till Jesus comes, so, I wasn't prepared for a better yesterday. Proverbs 4:18, over 44 years ago. Church Gist. Any Word received forms your new thinking and it ends up bringing about transportation. It's to get to the point of receiving the Word that we need. Daniel 11:32. He said to me, "you don't need to know any man to scale the utmost height in life, just know me". Church Gist. And you know amazing testimonies in Church today, people that you don't know nothing about, you just find yourself being located supernaturally as God comes down with a change of story.
