Greater Grace for Greater Works, By Pastor Wole Oladiyun

1. JESUS MODELS SPIRITUAL URGENCY FOR US TO WORK FOR GOD

John 9 v 4  

“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work”

• Every believer has a divine assignment.
• There is a time frame allocated for everyone.
• We must serve God with all seriousness, passion and speed.
• We will all give an account of how we used our time, gifts & opportunities.

• THE HARVEST IS PLENTY BUT FEW LABOURERS

Luke 10 v 2

“Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

• The whole world is yearning for salvation.
• Nations are crying for National deliverance.
• The whole world is agonizing for Liberation and emancipation from the grip of darkness.
• There are myriads of problems across the globe begging for solutions.
• There are wars, famines, pestilences, natural disasters, health challenges, calling for the saints to proffer solutions.
• Unfortunately, those labourers who are actively engaged in God’s work are few.
• God is looking for willing vessels, the end of this age is so near.
• WE HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED FOR GREATER WORKS

John 14 v 12

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

• We believers are to reach the nooks and crannies of the work with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Jesus Christ.

• Nations, villages, cities, all the races & ethnic groups are awaiting our arrival with the Light of the Gospel.

• BELIEVERS ARE TO OCCUPY THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS OF INFLUENCE

Luke 19 v 11 – 13  (KJV)

v.11“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.”

v.12 “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.”

v.13 “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

• We are to occupy these ecosystems:
• BUSINESS
• ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT
• MEDIA
• GOVERNMENT/ADVOCACY
• EDUCATION
• RELIGION
• FAMILY

• BELIEVERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN GREAT APOSTOLIC POWER & GRACE

Acts 4 v 33

“And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.”

• GOD HAS GIVEN US THE NATIONS FOR OUR INHERITANCE

Psalm 2 v 8

GNB

“Ask, and I will give you all the nations;  the whole earth will be yours.”

NirV

“Ask me, and I will give the nations to you. All nations on earth will belong to you.”

NLT

“Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession.”

• WE MUST REMEMBER OUR VANTAGE POSITIONS

Matt 5 v 13 – 16

v.13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

v.14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

v.15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.”

v.16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

• We are the salt of the earth.
• We are the light of the world.
• We are a city set on the hill that cannot be hidden.
• Our lights must shine before men to see our good works and Glorify our father in Heaven.

GOVERNMENTAL APOSTOLIC TEACHING TO BREAK NEW GROUND

• Deut. 2 v 24  

“Rise ye up, take your journey and Passover the river Arnon:  BEHOLD I HAVE GIVEN INTO THINE HAND, Sihon the Armorite, King of Heshbon, and HIS LAND:  BEGIN TO POSSESS IT, AND CONTEND WITH HIM IN BATTLE

• Thank God for Jesus, who is our High Priest and the Saviour of our souls.

• We are living in a perilous period when satanic invasion is on daily increase.

• The body of Christ and especially Christian leaders must be divinely proactive so that sudden darkness will not dominate us roundabout.  

Below are some pertinent questions we need to candidly consider and find answers to.

1. Why are we not manifesting power nowadays like the Saints of old?

2. Why are satanic activities on the increase now?

3. Why is the Church worldly?

4. Why are the nations of the world failing politically and economically?

5. Why is the Church not affecting her immediate community?

6. Why is there so much Luke-warmness in the Church?

7. Why are Christians victims of character deficiencies?

8. Why is Evangelism not thriving now like of old despite our technology?

9. Why are the Christian leaders engaged in Rat race, manipulation, deceit, teaching heresies and wrong doctrines?

10. Why are syncretic religions gaining ground faster and forming terrible global cartels in the market places and families in disarray?

• The Holy Spirit our teacher will help us proffer answers.  

• In the opening scripture, Moses was recounting Israel’s journey with Moses; God commanded him saying:

1. I have given unto your hand the King of Heshon

2. I have also given you HIS LAND

3. Begin to possess the Land

4. Contend with the King in Battle

• We must engage in prophetic warfare before we can possess the settled Calvary victory.    

• 1 Timothy 1 v 18

“This charge I commit unto thee, Son Timothy, according to the PROPHESISES which went before on thee, that thou by them mightiest WAR A GOOD WARFARE.”

• Numbers 33 v 52 – 55

v.52 “Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:”

v.53 “And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.”

v.54 “And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.”

v.55 “But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

• Failure to contend will make the enemies to be pricks in our eyes and thorns on our sides.

• Failure to contend will make us lose control at National, grassroots and family levels.  Satanic vices will be on the increase alarmingly.

• To be fruitful, multiply, subdue and exercise dominion, we must now enforce Acts of the Apostles.

• Acts 6 v 4

“But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.”

• Acts 4 v 33

“And with GREAT POWER gave the Apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and GREAT GRACE was upon them all”.

HOW TO TAKE OVER TERRITORIES

• For Evangelism to thrive, moral decadence among the youths must be wiped out or drastically reduced.

• Power of service must be upgraded; we must take over in the market place.

• Luke-warmness must fizzle out of the Church, brotherly love restored, family life joyful etc.

• We must engage in APOSTOLIC GOVERNMENTAL PRAYERS in the underlisted areas.  

• Ephesian 6 v 12

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

• Deut. 2 v 24

“Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.”

• We have been given the Land.

• We are to possess it.

• But must contend in Battle.

• 1 Tim. 1 v 18

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare”

• Number 33 v 52 – 55

v.52 “Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places”

v.53 “And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.”

v.54 “And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.”

v.55 “But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.”

• We need to embark on strategic warfare.

• Failure to contend and conquer will make us to loose CONTROL at National, Grassroot & Family Levels.

• Satanic vices will be on the Increase alarmingly.

• Dark agents will be gaining ground exponentially.

• Eccl. 4 v 1

“So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.”

• There will be moral decadence among the youths.

• Luke-warmness in the Churches, Fellowships

• Massive poverty and lack will be rampant.

• Our voices will be heard in the Land.

• Worldliness will be thriving fast.

STEPS TO TAKE

1. SPIRITUAL MAPPING   

• Numbers 13 v 1 – end. (Emphasis on v. 1, 18 – 20)

v.1 “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,”

v.18 “And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many”

v.19 “And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds”

v.20 “And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.”

• Through the Holy Spirit and research, collate information about your areas of operation.  

• List out the vices noticed, troubles/satanic centers, prevailing news.

•  Deal with them through WORD-BASED PROPHETIC PRAYERS.

2. DEALING WITH TERRITORIAL PRINCES

• Daniel 10 v 1 – end

• There is an evil prince ruling every nation so also there is a prince ruling an environment.  

• These princes work in alliance with the powers in the second heaven and the Queen of heaven.

• Jer. 44 v 17

“But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

• To ensure unrelenting resistance and blockages like the Prince of Persia.  

• You must tarry in potent, enduring and prophetic prayer like Daniel to overcome them. Otherwise, it will be all sweat and struggles, labouring without results.

3. OVERTHROWING RESISTING ALTARS

• Acts 17 v 22 – 23

v.22 “Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

v.23 “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

• Deut. 12 v 3

“And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.”

• Note the prevailing vices in your country, town, area of operations and deal with them in prayers.  

• Altars of Crime, Whoredom, Worldliness, syncretic religious, untimely death, poverty etc.  

• Deal with wicked mandates fastened to the Altars and the tokens for renewal.

4. DEALING WITH ELDERS AT THE GATE

• Ezekiel 11 v 1 – 13

• Acts 8 v 9 – 24

• Elders at the gate facilitate evil operations from Hell, distressing their Nations, the Market Place, Education, Families and the Church.

• We must prophesy against their abominations and ask Jehovah to judge as many as refuse to repent.  

• Deal with companies of Jazaniah and Pelatiah  (Ezek. 11)  Samballat, Tobiah and Geshem  (Nehemiah 6) Dathan, Koran, Abiran  (Number 16).

• Wicked Elders offer strange fire after the order of Nadab and Abihu  (Lev. 10).

• Note that each time there is a GREAT MOVE, Satanic Elders at the Gate must rise up for Evil deliberation, Monitoring, Observation, Reports and Programming.

• Thank God Jesus said in Matt 16 v 18…. The gate of Hell will not prevail.

5. DEALING WITH THE HEAVENLIES 

• Deut. 32 v 1

“Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.”

• Deut. 31 v 28

“Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.”

• Isa. 1 v 2

“Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.”

• OTHER SCRIPTURES Job 38 v 31 – 33; Job 9 v 9; Ezekiel 32 v 1 – 9;     Psalm  19 v 1 – 6

• The heavens above us record events.  

• You either receive sweet influences Job 38 v 31 or otherwise from there.  

• Your heaven must remain open, no brass or iron.

• Deut.  28 v 23

“And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.”

• Lev. 26 v 19

“And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

• Obliterate negative grogramme in the womb of the Star, Sun and Moon and programme prophetically word of God to release goodness upon you and your endeavour.

6. PARALYSING WITCHCRAFT OPERATIONS

• Nahum 3 v 4

“Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.”

• Isaiah 47 v 1–end

• Witchcraft has been in existence right from when Lucifer fell.  

• According to Nahum 3 v 4, it is targeted against NATIONS and   FAMILIES making its network global.  

• We must pray against witchcraft as in the works of Flesh (Gal. 5 v 19 – 23)  and that of operation from Hell.

• Witchcraft Operations Through The Works Of The Flesh Include:

7. RAISING PROPHETIC ALTARS UNTO THE LORD

• Exodus 2 v 23 – 25

v.23 “And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

v.24 “And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

v.25 “And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

• Learn to raise altars unto God.

• Fasten upon the Altars MANDATES from the word of God, renew/strengthen the mandates with the TOKEN of Praise and worship unto the Lord.

• Declare Jubilee!  You may even make use of “Ministry of the Shofar”  (Prophetic Ram Trumpet)

• Numbers 10 v 9 – 11

v.9 “And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.”

v.10 “Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

v.11 “And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.”
