On February 19, 1969, 15-year-old David Oyedepo got saved through a missionary teacher named Betty Lasher. Immediately, he set about reading the Gospel and became fired up with the zeal to seek God above all else.
In 1973, as a 19 years old student, he was asked to take up a vacation job to relieve a teacher who was due for maternity leave. Soon the young Oyedepo travelled to Dumagi Village in Shonga LGA of Kwara State to begin his teaching assignment. The first thing he noticed when he got there was that there was no single church. He prayed and said, “Lord, let me never leave this village the same way I met it; Lord, put Your Name in this village.”
He immediately set about the task of evangelizing the people in the village and invested all the money he had towards erecting a local church building. At the end of his 70 days service, the elders in the new Church presented him with a parting gift of a bush lamp and said “Silver and gold we have not; but we give you this lamp. Let this light you brought to our village shine round the world.”
Indeed that gift and that speech ultimately proved to be prophetic. In 1999, the teenager who gave all he had to erect a village church, was used by God to raise the largest church auditorium in the world and in 2018 he was named by Forbes magazine as the world’s richest pastor.
Bishop David Oyedepo has often said that the secret of his prosperity is Matthew 6: 33, which says ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.’
Your life will be determined by your priorities.
What you put first in your thoughts, desires, and choices will affect how your life eventually turns out.
Matthew 6:33 should be the centerpiece of our lives. To truly break forth on every side and accomplish extraordinary feats, God and His kingdom must take first place in our hearts..
The truth is that nobody’s life will be any more glorious than His dedication to God.
Making God our greatest priority is the secret that will position us for divine favour and supernatural additions.
To truly break forth and achieve the level of success we desire this year, we need to be completely dependent upon God. Our advancement will not be by power nor by might, but by the help of the Spirit of God.
Solomon was the wealthiest king in his days, yet he didn’t labour to be rich, it was added to him because he sought God and the affairs of His Kingdom [2 Chronicles 1:11].
Serving God and the interest of His Kingdom as a lifestyle puts us in command of the good things of life.
Psalms 34:10 says ‘The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing’.
As we first seek God and the interest of His Kingdom, 2024 will be a year of uncommon testimonies, inexplicable breakthroughs and unlimited enlargement.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to make seeking You my greatest priority this year. As I pursue after Your Kingdom, I thank You for propelling me to greater heights of destiny in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: It is not possible for you to have a heart for God and His Kingdom, without God being mindful of you– WORDBITE 201.
Shalom!
