Special Liberation 45 Years Celebration Impartation Service by Bishop David Oyedepo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

The Liberation Mandate at 45

45 years ago exactly, God spoke to his servant and said, "The hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith. And I am sending you to undertake this task today."

45 years after, what began as a seed planted in faith has become what we are all witnesses of today. No man can attempt anything close to this in the energy of the flesh. It is the doing of the Lord God of hosts himself and it is marvellous in our eyes.

2 Corinthians 3:17 — Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. You and I are practical testimonies of the liberation mandate. We are living proofs of 45 years of undeniable, uncontestable transformation.

Thanksgiving as the Gateway to Next Levels

Thanksgiving is the gateway to accessing next levels. God has taken this commission from a seed planted at one level to another and another and another — and we are just beginning. From the first church planted with 17 people — adults and children — look at what God has done. We are talking about thousands of churches globally now.

Thanking God for present blessings secures access to future blessings. Psalm 92:1-2, 15 — It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, to sing praises unto the name of the Most High. The same psalm tells us that even in old age they shall still bring forth fruit. Our fruitfulness as a commission is just beginning — and so is yours as an individual.

In John 6, even though it was little, with thanksgiving it kept multiplying until there were baskets left. As we keep thanking God as a lifestyle, our season of overflowing blessing is just beginning.

Thanksgiving Secures Perfection of God's Miracle Acts

Psalm 138:8 — The Lord will perfect all that concerns me. Thanksgiving brings perfection — completion — of the miraculous acts of God in our lives. Therefore, as we thank God in this season, whatever remains to be perfected in our lives as individuals shall be perfected.

Of the ten lepers cleansed in Luke 17, only one returned to give God thanks with a loud voice. That one was made whole — not just cleansed, but fully whole. Thanksgiving brings perfection.

This 45th anniversary is your anniversary. You are returning with the perfection hand of God upon your life. When it is time to rejoice and dance and glorify the name of the Lord, do it from within — because it must come from the heart to be acceptable unto God.
