I CAN NEVER BE POOR!
How I found the secret of Kingdom Prosperity - David Oyedepo 

by Leke Beecroft

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Isaiah 9:8

Today makes it 35 years since David Oyedepo's trip to locate the secret(s) of Kingdom prosperity. Leke Beecroft goes along memory lane to celebrate a discovery that has turned many into financial giants for the kingdom. Here are the exact words of the Bishop:

"I have two major encounters that turned around everything in my life. First, in my crave to know the secret of Kingdom prosperity; I went on a three-day prayer and fasting adventure, seeking and searching for these secrets from March 20-22, 1982. I took my Bible and the books of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland (The law of Prosperity and God’s Will is Prosperity), searching and asking God to show me this secret. 

 

I separated myself, you know the Bible says “Through desire, a man having separated himself seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom”. I said “Lord show me the secret of kingdom prosperity.”

On the third day, God spoke to me from Deuteronomy 8:18 which says: 

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”. 

He further said, “My son, my prosperity plan is not a promise, so it does not answer to prayers. It is not a promise, and so it has no respect for fasting. My prosperity plan is a covenant and until your part is played, I am not committed.”

In the course of my encounter on March 22nd, 1982, I asked God, “How reliable is this covenant?” He spoke to me from Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26: “Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them”.

That means as long as the day and night keep changing position and the sun and moon continue to rule the day and night, all God’s covenants in scriptures remain in force, including the covenant of financial prosperity.

Light broke out from heaven! It came to me like an intoxicant and it turned me on like hot wine. I stood up after I found it, I came out of my room in my short knicker and bare chested and I spinned and screamed ‘Yeehhh! I can never be poor!’
