SHILOH 2022 WAS LOADED WITH HEAVY PROPHECIES
AMONG THE THINGS WE MUST BE GIVING THANKS TO GOD FOR ARE PROPHECIES.
THE CATALYST FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PROPHECIES IS THE CATALYST OF THANKSGIVING.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT DEPARTMENT OF LIFE THE PROPHECIES ADDRESSED, THE CATALYST THAT ADDRESSES EVERY DEPARTMENT OF PROPHETIC FULFILMENT IS THANKSGIVING.
ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES, YOU CAN PRAY AMISS BUT YOU CAN’T THANK AMISS
– Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr at SHILOH 2022 Thanksgiving Service COVENANT HIGHWAYS First Sunday Service || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland.
Father we have come today to say that we are grateful, we have come today to say that we are thankful. We give all the praise, accept our Thanksgiving for in Jesus’ precious name we have prayed.
Our Father this morning we have come with a voice of appreciation thanking and blessing your Holy name for all that you have done since the commencement of Shiloh all the way to the impartation service. Church Gist. your mighty hand has been at work. Lord visit us again. By your word transform us again. We give all the praise to your name.
This morning in this Shiloh Thanksgiving Service we shall be looking at this teaching captioned ‘THANKSGIVING: COVENANT HIGHWAYS TO SEEING PROPHECY FULFILLED’.
One of the mysterious ways of the workings of God is prophecy.
Prophecy is the declaration of God’s intention before its manifestation. Isaiah 46:10. The declaration of God’s intention before its manifestation is what we refer to as prophecy. But the manifestation of prophecy requires this catalyst of thanksgiving.
1 Thessalonians 5:18. Thanksgiving is required and it is required because it is called the will of God. We must examine what the effect of fulfilling the will of God is. Hebrews 10:36.
So the will of God being done by man is what qualifies a man for the receipt of the promise. Whatever prophecy is declared, requires the fulfilment of the will of God which is Thanksgiving to be fulfilled.
Ephesians 5:20. Among the things we must be giving thanks for are prophecies. Psalm 56:4,10.
Shiloh has been loaded with heavy prophecies, how many of us received prophecies at Shiloh? But the catalyst for the performance of the prophecies is the catalyst of Thanksgiving. It doesn’t matter what department of life the prophecies addressed, the catalyst that addresses every department of prophetic fulfilment is Thanksgiving.
According to scriptures, you can pray amiss but you can’t thank amiss.
So if we are going to see the delivery, the fulfilment, the perfection of the prophetic blessings released on us at Shiloh then each one of us must engage the catalyst of Thanksgiving.
1 Samuel 2:9. We only see prophecies fulfilled by the hand of God. That is the key, the hand of God and that performing hand of God is instigated by thanksgiving and praise. 1 Kings 8:15-24. The hand of God is the hand of fulfilment. That hand is initiated by thanksgiving.
Let’s look at some individuals in scriptures that saw prophecies fulfilled in sculptures by Thanksgiving and we are going to be looking at various areas of life.
1. Fruitfulness (Abraham)
Romans 4:20-21. Genesis 21:1-6. The word came and as they engaged the mystery of Thanksgiving the fulfilment followed. For somebody this morning, as your thanksgiving and gratitude goes to heaven, there shall be supernatural manifestation.
We all saw at Shiloh how a family came to stand upon this altar after 21 years of barrenness, first God gave them twins. While anticipating and celebrating the next miracle to come just serving God in all ways.
God visited them again at Shiloh and they came forth with Sextuplets. The one called barren became supernaturally fruitful. She said, “God embarrassed us”. I see somebody receiving an embarrassing blessing. Isaiah 54:1-3. Again I see by the encounter of this morning somebody receiving an embarrassing blessing.
So fruitfulness we saw in the example of Abraham was released as he was strong in faith giving glory to God, the result was the delivery of Isaac.
2. Victory(Jehoshaphat)
We see how Jehoshaphat engaged the act of worship and praise to see prophecies fulfilled. 2 Chronicles 20:14-22. The people consulted and decided to praise, the Bible said as they began to praise God took over their battle and every one of their enemies was smitten.
Our thanksgiving and praise is a handover mystery. Whatever we have been contending with, God’s word has come to settle at Shiloh, as we are thanking God we are handing over the matter to Him.
See those areas of concern as being taken over by God and the good news is every case God takes over is over. For somebody here I see that case coming to an end. That contention, as you praise and thank Him, is coming to an end.
3. Healing (Hezekiah)
Isaiah 38:5-6. I believe somebody prayed at Shiloh. This is God speaking to you and to me, He said, “I have heard thy prayers”. To some that may be weeping in various areas of life, He said “I have seen thy tears”. Perhaps some individuals came with certain verdicts concerning their lives but He said “I will add unto thy days”. It means that by reason of this prophecy God was saying no more tears.
God was saying to Hezekiah “answers had been delivered”. That prophecy of your life being cut short has been cancelled. But now that the prophecy has been released, how will it be delivered? Isaiah 38:19-20.
When he received the prophecy His response was praise and Thanksgiving and as a result of that, the captivity of affliction was overturned. For somebody hearing me here this morning, as you engage in Thanksgiving and praise, God is stepping in to overturn that situation.
We just heard the testimony of one of our sisters on this altar this morning. She said as the choir began to sing in the midst of that praise, break every chain.
She said suddenly she began to feel like her clothes were wet and there was water on it. She checked and there was no water on it. And that affliction she had carried for one year was terminated.
Exodus 15:11.
For somebody this morning as your praises go up. His wonders will come down. As your thanksgiving goes up His wonders will come down. As your appreciation goes up, His manifestation will come down. So from the example of Hezekiah we see God intervening on his behalf as he engaged the mystery of thanksgiving
