Efc2026: Easter Celebration Service — Wings Of Faith Day 4 by Bishop David Oyedepo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

The Treasure of Revelation

Isaiah 60:15 — a little one by this light shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I the Lord will hasten it in his time.

Revelation launches you into a realm of unending glory. From glory to glory, from glory to glory — that is the trajectory of a life yielded to the word.

That is why the enemy will keep anyone away from the word who allows him. He will let you pray forty days — but to sit with the word one day, he will resist with everything. Prayer does not empower against darkness. Light does. And that light shines in darkness, and darkness cannot stand it, cannot resist it. John 1:9 — this is the true light that lights every man that comes into this world.

There are many people who do not know God who pray from morning to night with no change. But light will turn any dummy into a star. Arise and shine — because your light is come. Prayer will help facilitate access to light. Fasting will facilitate access to light. But light is the ultimate weapon in the battle against the powers of darkness. Jesus went to the cross to remove the veil so we can access the treasures in the word.

As the word becomes sweeter to your taste than your best meal, as sitting at the word makes you feel better than any other environment — watch your life keep going from glory to glory.

The Power of Resurrection

The power of resurrection is ordained to provoke continuous change of story in all areas of life.

• It empowers believers to walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4 — we are buried with him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life. And Romans 6:14 — sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. The grace is strong enough to subject sin under our feet. Therefore every nagging issue, every unwanted habit in anyone's life must give way.
• It takes captivity captive and sets us free. Hebrews 2:14-15 — through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil, and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. The fear of death is broken. He led captivity captive at his resurrection and gave us authority over the host of hell. In the name of Jesus, nothing succeeds to hold you captive again.
• Resurrection has brought Satan under your feet. Ephesians 1:22 — he put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church. We are the body of Christ, so all things are now put under our feet — not by our side, not above us. Under our feet. Satan is under your feet. It cannot determine the events of your life anymore. You are seated far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named — including Satan — not only in this world but in that which is to come.
• It quickens our mortal body for health and vitality. Romans 8:11 — if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also make alive your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwells in you. The siege of sickness and disease is over in your life. By the power of his resurrection, every terminal disease, every incessant come-and-go disease is cursed from the root and dropping off your body right now. It is not permitted to go back home with you in the name of Jesus.
• It empowers us to walk in financial prosperity. Ephesians 1:18-19 — the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us who believe. The power of resurrection opens us up to the riches of our inheritance. We don't prosper by prayers — we prosper by an understanding of the terms of the covenant of abundance. Prosperity responds to revelation of the covenant, not activity, not running up and down. Deuteronomy 8:18 — it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant. An understanding of the covenant is what empowers for wealth. Job 22:21-25 — acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace. Receive his law from his mouth. Then shall you lay up gold as dust and the Almighty shall be your defence, and you shall have plenty of silver. Not forty days of prayer and fasting for prosperity — settle down and seek revelation concerning the covenant of abundance. That is what breaks it open. Three days of concentrated study broke open the light that has been shining for forty-four years without stopping.

Resurrection Delivers Instantly

John 21:5-6 — Jesus saw the disciples struggling and catching nothing. He said: cast the net on the right side of the ship and you shall find. They cast — and immediately they were not able to draw for the multitude of fishes.

He came with clarity of direction that turned frustration to celebration like a dream of the night. Resurrection delivers instantly by unveiling to you the right way to go. You will not labour in futility from henceforth. Expect instant turnaround encounter with his resurrection power.

Your Takeaways from This Service

1. Eyes of Understanding Open Brighter Than Ever

   The first miracle Jesus performed after resurrection was opening the eyes of understanding of the disciples to understand the scriptures. Expect that every time you pick your Bible from this day, you will see God. The Lord appeared to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord. In these last days he speaks to us by his Son. From today, your eyes of understanding are open to see brighter than ever — and what that means is a new era of supernatural breakthroughs. When light breaks forth, breakthrough is what results.

2. Clarity of Divine Direction

   The second miracle was divine direction to the frustrated fishing disciples. Expect clarity of divine direction that will turn all your struggles to miracles — and that will become your new lifestyle. One testimony: a member was at the motor park, already boarded the bus, when the Holy Spirit said get down. He got down. Before the bus reached Shagamu, it crashed. Not one person survived. Clarity of divine direction. You will not walk into trouble or be trapped anymore.

3. Walk in Newness of Life — Dominion Over Sin

   Expect to walk in the newness of life with dominion over sin and all unwanted habits established. What that opens: the doorway to favour. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Favour trailed every step of Joseph on one basic platform: I fear God. Sanctification is the doorway to favour. Today marks the end of every era of misfortune around your life.

4. Full Restoration of Health and Vitality

   The spirit that raised Christ from the dead is ordained to make alive our mortal bodies. None will say again in the family: I am sick. Sickness is cursed in your family life in the name of Jesus.
