From Local To International Via Kingdom Stewardship! “Since I started my consultancy job in 1997, I have been a local consultant. However, as a result of my engagement in kingdom stewardship in the first phase of the Wonder-Double prophetic agenda, God opened a door of opportunity for me to travel to the US. There, I presented a paper at a top-rated university. Thereafter, more doors opened to me and I ended up making six paper presentations instead of one. The locations for the papers include: A large conference room in the World Bank Headquarters for Research and the George Washington University. The Nigerians in Diaspora also invited me to a Nigerian university in the US at Washington DC. Furthermore, Nigerians in Diaspora at State of Maryland, A graduate school in a top range University and a faculty board which comprises of Deans and heads of departments also invited me for paper presentation. In addition, I was opportune to take a snap shot with the First Lady of a State in the US. As a result, I became a top celebrity. I give God all the glory!” ---Kola Owolabi
Marital Restoration Via Soul Winning The God visited me suddenly. He gave me my 1st Quantum leap blessing. God restored my challenged marriage. My husband left us (myself and the children) since December 5th 2013. So, I came to this church and joined the sanctuary unit group and also joined a group of brethren (7 of us) that engaged in the Operation By All Means, praying and involved in soul winning. I engaged in serious soul winning, walking 2hours and 30minutes (4.00 to 6.30pm) every day for souls to get saved for Christ.. On the 2nd of April 2016 at 9.30pm my phone woke me up and it was my husband; Lo and behold, he was at the gate, I and my children went to welcome him. This could only be God. I have come to return all glory to God, the God of my father, Bishop David Oyedepo. Praise the Lord! - Dorothy Adognon
5 Quantum Leaps in One Year! “At the beginning of the year 2016, God’s Servant prophesied that we shall experience a minimum of 4 quantum leaps as God’s prophetic agenda for the year 2016. All through the year, I engaged in Kingdom advancement endeavours such as praying Kingdom advancement prayers in my closet daily during my personal prayer times and wholeheartedly engaging in WSF outreaches. I also used the Winners’ Personalized Prophetic Declarations in ending my prayer sessions on a daily basis, to the extent that the first one got seriously torn at some point in the year and I had to request for another one in Church. At the end of the year 2016, I could count up to 5 quantum leaps that I experienced in 2016. Firstly, God launched me into my writing career as an author through a professional book I started writing in June, and it came suddenly by divine visitation and inspiration. The second quantum leap is that God launched me into being my own boss as a management consultant, and with a first business breakthrough with a client organization which resulted in a 6-digit income, a big one for a start-up business. Thirdly, I now have more than one source of income since I am still employed with an NGO as a management staff. Also, in 2016, I got connected to my God-ordained gift of a life partner and the wedding shall take place in 2017. Furthermore, my spiritual level changed to higher levels. I began to hear far more clearly and precisely from God any time I settle down in fasting and prayer to seek answers and get divine directions from Him. I give all the glory to the God of Bishop David Oyedepo!” --Shola, O.
