MATTHEW 26:24 “THE SON OF MAN GOETH AS IT IS WRITTEN OF HIM…..” JOHN 18:37 “…TO THIS END WAS I BORN, AND FOR THIS CAUSE CAME I INTO THE WORLD…..”

Do you know what has been written in the record of heaven concerning your life? Do you know the purpose of God for your life?. Do you know the expectation of heaven for your life? These probing questions are to discover about your destiny in life. It is a tragedy if you do not have answers to these questions!. Jesus made it abundantly clear that there is a purpose for individual on earth. Prophet Jeremiah was ordained from the womb and he fulfilled his destiny; while Samson’s destiny was derailed on the platter of prostitution. There are many servants riding upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth (Eccles.10:7).

This is an example of destiny manipulation and spiritual exchange of virtues. The good news is that we have a living God through our Lord Jesus Christ who can restore that seemingly derailed destiny not only into its original form but superior final condition in your life. Do you know that you are special in the sight of the Almighty God no matter what you are presently undergoing? Give your life totally to Him and call upon Him now and He will answer you . Your hope and faith in the Lord will give you courage to face the giant harassing your destiny because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the whole world.

In this new month of July 2016 which God has declared as the month of “Divine Restoration”; I will like to make this special announcement to you on this note, that it is your turn to arise and go for your total and double restoration in this new month of July 2016, as God did for Job (Job.1:3 & Job 42:12) and David at Ziklag (1 Sam.30:20&26), in Jesus name. The Lord will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten in your life ; and I decree and prophesy that this new month of July will be an end to every embarrassing situation in your life, in Jesus name!.

Jesus is a destiny-restoration God!.

JESUS IS LORD. PASTOR MIKE ILELADEWA

GOD OF OPEN DOORS…cont’d http://www.tocfi.com/god-of-open-doors-contd/ Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.tocfi.com/god-of-open-doors-contd/

The Bible teaches in many places that we should pray, not just for our own needs, but for one another which is known as “intercessory prayer”. Apostle Paul assured his friends that he was praying for them, and asked them in return to be praying for him ( 2 Corin.13:7; Ephes. 1:16 and Romans 15:30). Intercessory prayer is part of the fellowship of believers in the great spiritual body of the Church.

May it be spiritually revealed to you that intercessory prayer is the invisible hinge on which the golden gate of total deliverance from captivity of Satan swung open, in Jesus name. If we spent more time in intercession we should discover that our prayers for others will be opening the gates of freedom from many bondages in our own lives. Amazingly, it was when Job prayed for his unbending condemner friends that the Lord turned his captivity and rewarded him with double material wealth and domestic happiness than ever before (Job 42:10).

Are you under captivity of Satan, the evil accuser been permitted to test you with resultant captivity to adversity, bereavement; or terrible sickness? Are you in captivity to mental suffering, doubt, loneliness, fears, depression or despair.? The Overcoming power in intercessory prayer awaits you if you can sincerely pray aggressive heavenly- bound prayer for someone today! As you are entering into the last month in the first half of this year let your intercessory prayer altar be ignited so that your destiny could be liberated from whatever form of captivity is oppressing your life.

Matchless and irrevocable testimonies that give birth to other testimonies shall overflow your life in this month and beyond in Jesus name. This is your month of all – round Divine favour after the order of both Joseph and Esther, in Jesus name.

JESUS IS LORD. PASTOR MIKE ILELADEWA

GOD OF OPEN DOORS. http://www.tocfi.com/god-of-open-doors/ Sun, 01 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.tocfi.com/god-of-open-doors/

In life, God is the only One who can open doors as declares in Revelation 3:7-8 during a terrible battle at the door of breakthrough..” I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it…..”. Doors speak of opportunities, chances or possibilities that will cause a person to make progress and advance in life and make it meaningful. These doors can be marked as marriage, career, finances, health or fruit of the womb. Opened doors make impossibilities become possibilities! God can give you open doors in response to your earnest prayer; or through your praise and worship, or even can turns the King’s heart to open doors and grant you access to the privileges normally reserved only for the movers in the society. Whenever a child of God has reached a dead end the only way out is the miraculous opening of the door for you. The irony of life is that every great and glorious door could be closed by adversaries as Apostle Paul noted in 1 Corin.16:9. We should not fear these adversaries because our Lord has given us the ingredients for divine open doors.

The ingredients for divine open doors are well stated and very clear in both Revelation 3:8 and Col.4:3. One of the ingredients is depending on God because you have little strength to struggle; since the difference between struggling and being favor is open door. You can not open the door yourself, so you need to call upon the Lord to open it for you. This is the season of your open doors when heaven will smile on you and you will enter into the arena of your jubilation, in Jesus name. Keeping and applying God’s Word to our lives is another ingredient for open door. Do not say “heaven helps those who help themselves” which is not Scriptural; but let God’s Words abide in you so that when you ask for the open door, it would be opened unto you!

As you have confessed Jesus name; do not deny Him in the public like Apo. Peter did, the night Jesus was arrested before His crucifixion; so that Jesus will not deny you before His Father for open doors.

Violent binding and losing prayer is also necessary to win the battles at the door of breakthrough. There is door of salvation (Rev.3:20;John 10:9)which is the first door you will definitely need if you are not yet born – again; so that other doors could be opened unto you. As you are entering into the month of May 2016 which has been declared by God as your month of openings; your doors of uncommon answers to prayers, job opportunities, marital breakthroughs, prophetic inspiration, fulfilment, divine release and all round academic and financial success shall be opened unto you, in Jesus name.

JESUS IS LORD. PASTOR MIKE ILELADEWA

GOD PAYS ATTENTION TO OUR PRAYERS. cont. http://www.tocfi.com/god-pays-attention-to-our-prayers-cont/ Tue, 01 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.tocfi.com/god-pays-attention-to-our-prayers-cont/

In the book of Joshua, we read that the ancient city of Jericho was a heavily fortified walled city. From a military standpoint, it was practically impenetrable. This great walled city stood as an obstacle that hindered the people of Israel from claiming all that God had for them. Before they could enter into Canaan which was their promised land, Jericho had to fall first. For us, Jericho could represent those things that are entrenched and rooted in our lives that prevent us from going on with God. It may be some besetting sin that prevents us from going deep in the things of God or it could be some old and bad attitude or pride that is holding us back. Before we will ever receive all God has for us, that stronghold must be torn down! And I pray that in this month of March, the stronghold in your life shall be broken so that you can walk into your victory and possess your possession in Jesus name.

Before we can move on to victory, we must first commence the journey. This journey is commenced at salvation i.e. having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the one who walks in victory even before the battle is fought. In other words, He is the one in control of all situations and He will definitely fight our battles for us if we give our lives to Him. I want you to pause, reflect and learn that we will only be victorious in our spiritual battles if we acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Commander in Chief and follow His plans and strategy. Have you even met the Lord Jesus Christ? Have you had a personal experience with the Person of God? You need to accept Jesus Christ fully into your life to enable you march into your victory in this month of March. The uncircumcised heart and flesh cannot march into victory without the backing of the ‘Field Marshal and Commander of the Heavenly Host’ which is our Lord Jesus Christ. God had already promised us victory as seen in Joshua 6:1-2. Our victory has already been secured through Jesus Christ. Satan is a defeated enemy. All the seemingly unshaking ‘Jerichos’ in your life shall become flattened by the earthquake of God in Jesus name. All those powers gathering against your victory this month shall be exposed, disgraced and fall for your sake in Jesus name.

Kindly join us in giving glory to the Ancient of Days for the celebration of the convention of our Church between 3rd of March and 6th of March 2016 .“The More than Conquerors family” is marching into greater height and victory which was won for us by our Captain as seen in Matthew 16:18.

Remember, this is your year of “fruitfulness and multiplication”!

JESUS IS LORD.

GOD PAYS ATTENTION TO OUR PRAYERS. http://www.tocfi.com/god-pays-attention-to-our-prayers/ Mon, 01 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.tocfi.com/god-pays-attention-to-our-prayers/

Isaiah 65:24. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear”. The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer. Christians who know how to pray are the richest gifts earth can offer heaven. Prayer honors God and dishonors self. It is man’s plea of weakness, ignorance, want, a plea which heavens cannot disregard. The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it had bridled the rage of lions; extinguished wars, expelled demons, bust the chains of death, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. Paul calls it a striving, an agony. With Jacob it is wrestling. Elijah prayed and God answered him by fire. Hannah’s prayer was observed by Eli as “spiritual drunkenness”! It is the battlefield of the Church, its citadel, the scene of heroic and unearthly conflicts. If we can go on our knees and cry to the God of heavens and earth; then we can be reassured of overcoming any situation confronting us in life. The prayer that attracts divine attention is not a prayer from the lips but a prayer from the heart. Prayer is not the fruit of natural talents; it is the product of faith, of holiness, and of deeply spiritual character. This is the month of your “Divine Attention” when heaven is ready to focus her attention to that your particular need and give you your heart desires. The goal of prayer is the ear of God; and God will hear every one of your cries in the busy hour of the daytime and in the lonely watches of night in Jesus name.

JESUS IS LORD.

2016- YEAR OF DIVINE FRUITFULNESS AND MULTIPLICATION. http://www.tocfi.com/2016-year-of-divine-fruitfulness-and-multiplication/ Fri, 01 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.tocfi.com/2016-year-of-divine-fruitfulness-and-multiplication/

“Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”- Exod.15:11. We give glory, honour, majesty and adoration to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords for His mercy over us and the strength given us to sail through the year 2015. We are also thanking God of the new beginning for the great signs, wonders, unchangeable miracles and multiple testimonies that are awaiting us in the new year 2016 in Jesus name.

This year 2016 have been declared by God as the year when the children of the Most High God will begin to experience the first blessing and commandment proclaimed by God Himself upon mankind in Gen.1:28. “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” The truly converted Christians who are willing to obey the King of Kings shall not only experience divine fruitfulness (both spiritual and physical) and multiplication alone; but as more than conquerors family will also experience power to subdue the earth in all its ramifications, the marine power and the power of the air and become victors in the battle of life this year and beyond. Therefore, 2016 is the year that Christians should not “play games” with God that we are sincerely serving God while we continue right on our human reasoning and excuses to follow this world and do our own things in our own ways. Year 2016 would refuse to accommodate such self- professed but God- disapproved Christians to benefit from the divine fruitfulness and multiplication in the new year.

As God of fruitfulness and multiplication arises for your sake in this new year, that reproach in your life shall be removed and no matter how high your wall of Jericho is, it shall collapse in the name of Jesus. You are welcome into your year of exceeding fruitfulness and multiplication when you will sing that your best song and dance your miracle- manifesting dance in Jesus name.

JESUS IS LORD. PASTOR MIKE ILELADEWA
