Special Mantle Impartation Service At Faith Tabernacle Ota by Bishop David Oyedepo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Two Principal Remarks on Prayer and Fasting

As a kickoff, there are two major principal remarks to make on the ongoing prayer and fasting.

God Answers Thoughts, Actions and Words

1. God Answers Thoughts

   God answers also our thoughts. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we are able to ask or think, so He answers thoughts. Every contrary thought to what you have prayed cancels the effect of that prayer. For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Therefore, keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life Proverbs 4:23. God does not only answer prayers, He also answers thoughts.

   • Therefore, gather up the loins of your mind. Don't let your mind go astray and render your prayers of no effect 1 Peter 1:13.
   • We must cast down negative imaginations lest they cast us down. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.
   • Out of the heart of man proceed evil thoughts, which result in evil acts including adulteries, fornications and murders — they are primarily a product of thoughts Mark 7:21-23. Bring your thought into captivity and force it to line up with the Word; that is when you begin to know true liberty.

2. God Answers Actions

   Secondly, God does not merely answer prayers, God answers actions. The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed 1 Samuel 2:3. God weighs our actions and determines His response to our prayers. So when our actions are contrary to what we have prayed, it cancels the effect of the prayer.

   • In Daniel 5:27, while Daniel was interpreting the writing, he said, "TEKEL" means you are weighed in the balances and found wanting. God weighs our actions and determines His intervention in our lives.

   • Ensure your actions line up with what you claim to be your faith. Show me your faith without your actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions.

3. God Answers the Words of Our Mouth

   Number three, God answers what we say after we have prayed — that is, the words of our mouth. As you have said in My ears, so will I do unto you Numbers 14:28. May no one's mouth destroy the labor of his prayer.

   • Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Suffer not your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, neither say before the angel that it was an error; why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the works of your hands Ecclesiastes 5:6.

Watch — those three factors are often ignored in the believer's life, and so many keep struggling to access answers to their prayers. Mind your thoughts, mind your actions, and mind the words of your mouth. To maximize returns on your prayers: mind your thoughts, mind your actions, and mind the words of your mouth.

We must ensure that the words of our mouth are acceptable to God: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer" Psalm 19:14. It's a prayer to pray. Always ensure that our actions do not contradict what we claim to believe. It is our imagination that sets the pace for our destination.

Childlike Faith Is Vital to a Harvest of Answers

Secondly, childlike faith is vital for a harvest of answers to our prayers. Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. It takes childlike faith to enter into the fullness of the blessings of the kingdom.

Just promise a child something — he doesn't bother about your capacity to deliver or not. He believes everything you say, and keeps announcing it to his peers: "My father has promised to buy me a motorbike," even when the father, at that time, had no capacity to buy any motorbike for anybody. But the boy believed and was excited, calculating the day the bicycle would come. Childlike faith is vital to receiving a harvest of answers to our prayers.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven Matthew 18:4. The world is becoming far more complex than ever, so this childlike faith may look like an Old Testament thing — but this is Jesus speaking. It is the place against all logic. You will build a place in one year against all technical facts by childlike faith. You will reach out to seventy-five new nations in one year by childlike faith.

• When I read Revelation 5:10, that we are made kings — that took childlike faith to receive, not merely to be told.
• When I discerned the person of the Holy Ghost, I said, "Holy Ghost, if You are truly a person, lead me in this town to where these people are." I did not need to ask anybody; I said, "Now lead me to where I don't want to ask anybody," and He led me, turn by turn, more clearly than any GPS under heaven. That is childlike faith.

Childlike faith is vital to maximizing our adventure in the faith. God says it, you have it — you don't wait to see it first before you say it; childlike faith says it no matter what circumstances are saying. Whatever God has said in His Word concerning you, engage your childlike faith to take delivery of it, because it is your portion.

Even when it is said, "You shall not die but live," and another voice says otherwise, remember there are many who were pronounced as dying who did not die. Childlike faith says, because God said I shall not die, I shall not die. Lazarus was not almost dead — he was properly dead for four days, already decaying — yet he was raised again. Let your childlike faith come alive. Don't let the devil rob you of your inheritance. Childlike faith is a mystery that establishes your place in the will of God.

Altar Call and Prayer of Salvation

• Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner.
• Forgive me all my sins, wash me with Your blood.
• I believe You died for me, and on the third day You rose again to set me free from the power of sin.

• Today I accept You as my Lord and my Savior.
• I believe my sins are now forgiven; I am justified by Your blood; I am saved.
• I am restored to the faith; I am now a child of God.
• Thank You, Jesus, for saving my soul. Amen.

For all who prayed this prayer today across the nations of the world: you are covered with the blood of Jesus against every satanic assault. From henceforth, receive grace to live your Christian life and to make this journey to the end. We shall make heaven together — no one shall be left behind.

Mantle Impartation

This mantle is not a magic wand. It is a mystery of the kingdom with the capacity to trigger special miracles, healings and deliverances. Every oppression of the devil on anyone's life clears off finally today, and there is a transference of grace to those who desire it.

• Whatever works in these hands begins to work in your hands.
• Every grace I have received from every source to which God has connected me, I release the same upon your life today.
• Receive grace to reverence the body of Christ as a lifestyle — not creating tension in your service groups, not causing trouble in your zones, but adding value. Grace to keep reverencing the body of Christ for your own advancement in life.
• Receive grace never to kick against anything concerning the kingdom, whether in your church or anywhere else.
• Receive the grace of an unchecked love for Jesus — the grace for exploits. For eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things God has in store for them that love Him. That is the grace for exploits: an unchecked love for God, as Paul the apostle had it — that neither death, nor life, nor things to come, nor any other creature shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
• May this impartation make this a year with a difference — in your life, in your family, in your business, in your career, and in your ministry.
• Receive the grace to walk in the covenant of giving with delight — not coerced, but with delight — the grace of liberality.

Philanthropy is not the issue — there are many who are rich in this world but not rich toward God. Know your priority: it is possible to be rich yet not rich toward God, and so be cut down. But this shall not be your portion. No one will go hungry when you have what it takes to feed them, and your children will never beg bread.

These mantles have been blessed before this service, and as you tap into the virtue therein — all over the world, at this time — it begins to emit special miracles and mighty deliverances. Nothing will stand in your way to making heaven. Every barrier set by the devil is destroyed today. We are all making heaven together in grand style. By this impartation, I decree your own testimonies of open doors, and it is starting from now. So shall it be.

Lord Jesus, watch over Your Word right now, and let it flow to each one according to each one's faith, in Jesus' name.

Tapping Into the Grace of Impartation

This mantle is not a religious rite; it is a channel of power transmission. Command every activity of evil spirits to lose their grip off your mind, off your body. The violent take it by force — enforce your liberty. Lay hold of what is yours this hour: the grace for discipline, the grace for focus, the grace for diligence. By this impartation, your level changes spiritually, and your level changes in every area of your life. Take your healing, take your deliverance, by force. A new dawn and a new day.
