Secrets
of Bishop Oyedepo’s Ministry Success - 2
 |
| Dr. David Oyedepo |
His Connection With
Pastor E. A. Adeboye.
Blessed be the day
the Lord to me he said. The Lord said; “I won’t like you go into ministry like
others have gone. I would have hands laid on you after the order of Deuteronomy
34:9…and Joshua was filled with the spirit of wisdom for Moses had laid his
hands upon him and the children of Israel hearkened unto him…..” and when he
asked God who he has appointed to lay hands on him, God directed him to Papa
Adeboye. “Why didn’t the Lord ask me to lay my hands on myself?” Don’t I have a
hand? Dr. Oyedepo said. God spoke to him that he was connecting him to where
the spirit will flow from into him.
When the lord reveals
something to him, he runs with excitement to meet his mentors only to discover
that what he is celebrating was already a part of them. Submitting to a mentor
gives you a voice. The leadership mantle is a spiritual thing. Joshua was not
the only one with Moses but he distinguished himself for the mantle. Elisha
followed Elijah earnestly until the mantle fell on him. Peter followed Jesus
until the anointed was rubbed off on him. It is not all about quoting a
man’s word but being a life student of such man. The fellowship must be
consistent for the mantle to be concrete. Followership has a test which must be
passed for the mantle to fall. If you don’t refer to anyone in life, you will
never be referred to. No man is a self-made man. If you are looking for such
man you won’t find him here.
Kenneth Copeland is
over 72years old. He has always believed and followed the teachings of Kenneth
Hagin and Oral Roberts yet it has never eroded him his identity. What have you
achieved you think no one achieved? Isaac Newton said; “if I have ever
seen any further, it is by standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before
me.” If you can’t see anyone ahead of you, you will never become ahead.
Be wise and get a
mentor to deserve a mantle.
Nice publication, our generation needs mentors, but this is an arrogant and pride generation that refuse to follow. Failing to realize that the contribution of the past generation is what the preceding generation strive on. What a generation, a generation with big dream but no commitment. despite the vast resources around us, they will be few leaders because no one want to read. many graduate gave up reading after school. What a dilemma. Anyway Good work once again
