COMPILATION OF MORNING TEA FOR JULY

• Deuteronomy 15:1-2 "At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release".
  I welcome you to the 2nd half of the year. A unique month. Num 7 is a significant number. It's a number of RESTS on the seventh day God rested from His labor. 7 also is a number of Perfection, Completion, these and more shall God do for you this month IJN.
  But God said to me this morning from the above scriptures that it shall be our month of "RELEASE". A slave is meant to serve his master for six yrs but he must be released on the seventh yr. I don't know what have enslaved you for these yrs or these months. Yours may be sickness, failure, disappointment, demotion, stagnation, poverty, retrogression, delay or yours is not mentioned here but you know you are under a bondage unknown to many, I have a good news for you this morning: U ARE RELEASED.....IJN. Welcome again to your month of RELEASE. This shall be our focus this month. Congtatulations.
• To be released from bondage is to be free from bondage. You must know that a man in bondage needs the operation of keys to be free. Both bondage and freedom are controlled by the use of keys. The key Satan uses to put man in bondage is IGNORANCE (Hosea 4:6) while the key God uses to free man is KNOWLEDGE (John 8:32). Isaiah 11:9 says "They shall not hurt nor destroy in my entire holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the KNOWLEDGE of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea". The more you know the freer you become.
  To be released from bondage in this unique month...go after knowledge. The KNOWL-EDGE you have makes you to have EDGE over your captors. What knowledge?....the knowledge of God's word & His promises concerning you. This is what guarantees your release and the release of His promises to you this month. Have a pleasant day and remain in His presence because all you need is found there.
• Exodus 12:31-36.
  Those who are RELEASED are those who are RELIEVED from their labour. I prophesy to u today you are relieved from your long years of pain, sorrow, disappointment, hard labour, poverty, failure, shame IJN. A released man is a struggle-less man. Because this is your season of release, you shall no more struggles in life again IJN. When a prisoner is released from prison, he enjoys what every other citizen enjoys. You shall begin to enjoy your blessing, favor, prosperity, promotion from today IJN. A look at the story of Israelites shows that when a man is released from years of suffering, he is released along side with abundance. They left Egypt loaded with abundant of gold because the Lord favoured them before the Egyptians. That will be ur story, you will not go through this month in emptiness. God will so favour you that your yrs of labour shall be converted to u in abundance IJN. IF U BELIEVE THIS, TYPE YOUR AMEN. It shows you are in agreement. This is the word of the Lord to u. Amen.        
• Numbers 29:7
  "And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: YE SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK THEREIN"
  Seventh month is generally known as a month of rest. No work is to be done on the tenth & the fifteenth day of this month according to the Jewish tradition (Num 29:1, 12). My emphasis here is on the month, the seventh month. A man in the prison is subject to hard labour. You cannot be in prison without labouring directly or indirectly. Every labour you have been subjected to, by the anointing of the of the Holy Spirit you are released from it today and you are released to favour IJN. A man in prison is robbed of his joy, he is limited, and he is confined to a particular level or position in life. Are you experiencing these in your life? Rejoice because God is out for you...it is called the month of GOD'S RELEASE. You're released today from every form of prison IJN. Shout "I AM FREE" and type your amen.
• MORNING TEA:
  From now on our daily discussion shall be called "M O R N I N G T E A" as commanded by God.
  It is one thing to be free or released but quite another thing to know how to enjoy the freedom. You can be free and yet don't know how to take the delivery of your freedom from the spiritual to the physical. Also you may know how to take delivery of it and enjoy it for a while.
  Galatians 5:1 says "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage".
  To take delivery of your release/freedom and to walk in it, the first step to take is OBEDIENCE. Jesus' mother told the servants "whatsoever He tells you to do it" (John 2:5). Many are in bondage today because of DISOBEDIENCE. Partial/Total disobedience causes a man to be in bondage.
  What has God told you to do?, what step is He telling to take? It may look irrational, ridiculous or illogical...that's what makes it to work in God's way and not man's way. Take a look at the story of marriage at Cana, John 2:1-11. It sounds crazy to do what Jesus told them to do. But crazy obedience to the instruction given made crazy result available. Why don't you just do what He tells you to do against logical reasoning or traditional approach and see God do the unusual in your life this month. Remember it is called the month of THE LORD'S RELEASE (Deut 15:2).
  Happy weekend.
• MORNING TEA:
  Taking delivery of your RELEASE as we said on Sat. requires the application of some forces. The bible says in Matt 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by FORCE". What FORCE? The forces required are:
  1. OBEDIENCE. We have done justice to this on Sat.
  2.  FAITH. Faith as I define it is acting on what you believe. Until you act on what you believe and of course the word of God, what you believe cannot be released. What you believe you become. Am talking about your personal faith/believe and not what your friends, pastor, husband or wife believes for you. Personal faith is important in deciding the outcome of your destiny. You must still believe God even when everyone else doesn't. You must still believe God even when your closed friends see no reason for your believe. God is faithful. He's not moved by your tears or by your shout. He's rather moved by your faith. Your faith establishes your miracle. In conclusion, your faith must rely on God and God alone. Don't claim to rely on God when your eyes are on your uncle, aunty, parents, friends or boss. God chooses whoever He wants. Don't dictate the tune, let Him do it. You're forever blessed. Great week
• MORNING TEA:
  BELIEF/RELEASE
  God's word stands forever. God has the ability to do what He says. He meant what He says and says what He meant (Gen 21:1). He's not a man that He should lie....(Num 23:19) He has the capacity to make do His word. If all these are true, why then are many not seeing the reality of God's word in their lives? Have you thought of this before?
  God cannot lie. If He says a thing and we're not seeing the manifestation of what He says in our lives, then something is wrong with our BELIEF SYSTEM or you may call it MINDSET. Our belief system/mindset must be adjusted to fit into the scriptures if we must experience the manifestation of the scriptures. The outcome of your future is determined by your believe on the scriptures. How then can I adjust my mindset (Belief system) to fit into the scriptures? It is through MEDITATION. Meditate on the word of God daily. Pick a promise of God from His word and think over it constantly until it becomes part of you (Joshua 1:8) Ponder on the word instead of your challenges. He is still faithful. Testimony is yours IJN.
• MORNING TEA:
  Luke. 1:1-20.
  God's release answers to your voice release. You must give a voice to what you want to see. Without a sound there can't be a sign. Nothing is released until your voice is released towards that direction. Sad enough, many are releasing their voices negatively. You must not be victim of such. You must not say what you don't want to see because when you say it you seal it.
  Do you know why God through the angel allowed Zacharias to go dumb? The reason is because Zacharias would have talked himself out of the blessing, so God prevented him. Many of us have been indirectly talking ourselves out of God's blessing with the way we use our tongue. Do you prefer to be dumb? Of cause not. Mind what you say because what you say sooner or later comes to stay. Start to say what you want to see before the end of this week now. The angels are ready to pick your voice and to make it good for you.... I agree with you of what you say now you will see it IJN. Have a wonderful day.
• MORNING TEA:
  DETERMINING FACTORS FOR YOUR RELEASE:
  We've talked on Obedience, Faith and Confession i.e. your ability to use your mouth correctly....
  Now you must know that there's no prophecy that is fulfilled automatically.
  II Kings 3:26-27, every prophecy is meant to be warred with. You must war with it to make it work. One of the vital factors that determine your release is WISDOM.
  Wisdom is to know what to do, when to do it, where to do it and how to do it. Am glad to tell you that it takes SACRIFICE to CERTIFY your release. God sacrificed His Son and our redemption was certified. The text above shows that it takes sacrifice to sack your opposition. He sacrificed his eldest son and his victory was certified. Sacrifice is to go beyond limit to do what God demands from you. You must use what you have to get what you need. Until you release what you can to God, what you can't will not be released from God. Support the work of God. Invest in the kingdom and God will release that which you desire like that King of Moab in the text above. Ask God what you can contribute to His work. Whatever He tells you do it. Be blessed.
• MORNING TEA:
  Job 29:11-17.
  We are still talking on a topic that says "the determining factor for your release". One vital way to secure your release is to help someone secure his or her release. What you sow you reap. (Gal 6:7)
  Job discovered this secret in his life hence he said "As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle" (Job 29:4)
  He was able to secure his release even when all hope was lost because he applied the discovered secret which are: he was a father to the fatherless, an eye to the blind, legs to the lame, a deliverer to the poor, a helper to the helpless est. Can that be true of you? You cannot help someone and be helpless. You cannot care for someone and lack care. What you make do for people they make do for you. Has any cried to you and you turn your back? Do all you can to cloth the naked, feed the hungry and help those in need instead of making mockery of their situation. In so doing, you are lending unto God (Pro 19:17) and be sure that God will pay you in full. Happy weekend.
• MORNING TEA:
  Gen 1:1-3
  God does not utter what He is not ready to order. When He utters a word through His Servant, be sure He will order it to you. He has the ability to order for you what He utters to you. The earth was formless, void...that is a state of disorderliness until the utterance came "Let there be light, and there was light (Gen 1:3), and the disordered world was put in order. God puts your life in order by His uttered word. He has told us it's a season of RELEASE. He watches over this word to perform it. I pray that this declaration this month will be your experience IJN.
  What are you expected to do therefore?
  1: BELIEVE GOD & HIS SERVANT (2Chr 20:20).
  You must believe God absolutely in order to receive absolutely. He establishes His word in your life when you believe Him. He also prospers that same word at your believe in His servant. You must also know that your speech is a direct pointer to your believe.
  Show me a man who believes God, it will show in his statement. Out of the abundance of the heart mouth speaks. Faith is of the heart and it's reflected through your mouth. Keep saying what God says about you. There may not be a sign that what you say will come true, but sooner or later you become what you say. This book (His promises) must not depart out of your mouth.... (Joshua 1:8). Don't join the multitude to say negative things about the situation of your country. Don't join the Doctors to say what he sees concerning you. Whose report do you believe? You are blessed this week IJN.
• MORNING TEA:
  Luke 5:1-7; 6:9-13.
  God's release to us and for us this month is a two-way traffic. We must be ready to release what we have as a seed if God must release to us everything He has as a blessing. Am led to remind us again as we have talked on this point before now. In the above scriptures, Peter released his boat and career breakthrough was released to him "...and now launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught says Jesus after making use of his boat (Luke 5:4). In the same vein 12 baskets full was handed to the lad that released his 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes. You must release what you have to God in order to receive what you need from Him. What you have to release may be your time, talent, money, material things for the support of the kingdom of God in your local church/environment or to the one from whom you draw spiritual strength. My mentor, Bishop Oyedepo says in one of his books and I quote: "God is never in need but He's only eager to meet our needs" What are you doing to support the work of God? I must sincerely thank those who are contributing in making sure that this morning tea continues; certainly you will not lose your rewards. Affect someone positively today and what will happen thereafter will affect your destiny forever. You are forever blessed.
• MORNING TEA:
  Mark 11:23.
  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. (Emphasis mine).
  Signs and wonders are direct products of a sound a man makes. The type of sound you produce determines the type of sign you'll receive. The release of your desires this month requires your calling out for it before it will manifest. Remember, Jesus got to the grave of Lazarus who was dead and buried for 4 days and cried out "Lazarus come forth" (John 11:43) A sound was made and life was restored. What are the areas you want God's release, there are solutions only through your proclamation. In the realm of the supernatural, a sound equals to a sign. Proclaim it and you will obtain it. Darkness everywhere yet a sound from God brought light. (Gen 1:3). Whatever happens in your life positively or negatively is a direct product of the sound you produce. Beware of what you say. Not even jokes with negative words are allowed in the realm of the spirit. Give no room for the devil to nail you with your word. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile (1Pet 3:10). A happy day for you. Your testimony is here IJN.
• MORNING TEA:
  WHAT AID THE DELIVERY OF YOUR SOUND...
  Mark 11:24:
  "Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY(giving sound to it), believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them"
  Giving positive sounds to your situation gives room for great signs in that direction. The Shunemite woman in 2Kings 4:18-37 kept saying all is well even with her son when in the physical her son was dead. She received her son back alive. That was a sign that came through a positive sound.
  DESIRE aids the delivery of your sounds. She desired her son alive and she got it. Desire means therefore, a strong feeling of wanting something at God's cost. Producing sounds without a strong feeling of wanting that thing lacks the power to make what you sounded available. Whatever you don't desire you don't deserve. A man of desire doesn't give up even when the sound he made doesn't come as expected. No wonder the bible says..Let us hold fast our confession without wavering...(Heb 10:23) How desperate do you want that job, that husband/wife, that promotion or a change of story? Strongly stick to your confession. It will come to pass. I rejoice with you in advance.
• MORNING TEA:
  Genesis 13:15
  "For all the land which thou SEEST, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever".
  I want to let you know that there are no special people with God, there are only people with special insight (Bishop Oyedepo) we can only access what have been released to us by revelation. What you see you seize. Revelation of God's word brings revolution to your life. My question to you now is WHAT DO YOU SEE? What you see determines what will be released to you this month and beyond. Jer 1:11 says "Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree". And God responded "thou has seen well: for I will hasten my word to perform it" (vs. 12). There is nothing that takes you to your destination faster than what you see. If you don't see big enough, you can't be big. If you don't see your promotion, you can't be promoted. If you don't see yourself having it, you can't have it. And what you say is a product of what you see. Also what you see determines your faith or fear. Faith is of the heart, so also fear. What occupies your heart rules your mouth. Your totality today is a product of how far you can see. See big, talk big, act big and you will manifest in a big way. We shall be looking at the difference between the army of Israel and David in handling Goliath tomorrow. What was unique about David that Saul and his army didn't have. Don't miss it. You are highly favoured IJN.
• MORNING TEA:
  1Sam 17:1-58(Please take out time to read the whole story).
  Your reaction to a situation is determined by how you see it. What you see and scream another sees and laugh. The way David approached the situation that was confronting the army of Israel was in what he saw that they couldn't see.
  Due to the giant nature of Goliath, the army of Israel trembled for days without doing anything but when David came he saw differently and was bold to approach it instantly. Look at these:
  1: The army of Israel saw giant but David saw God who is greater than the giant.
  2: The army of Israel saw defeat hence reacted in fear but David saw victory hence responded in faith.
  3: The army of Israel saw limitation but David saw an open door, at least to marry the daughter of a king...wow I love that!.
  4: The army of Israel saw bondage because it was said whichever group that is defeated will be a subject to the winner but David saw freedom because he knew better. Remember the bible says you will know the truth and it will make you free (John 8:32).
  5: The army of Israel allowed fear but David allowed faith. Etc.
  It is not a question of what people see in you but what you see in yourself. Don't let the opinion of people based on what they see about you dictate your approach to life. They may not believe in you but you still have to believe in yourself. Why? You see what they can't see, do you agree with me? What are your visions for the second half of this year? Write them down now and begin to rehearse them to yourself daily, you shall witness their fulfillment before the year runs out IJN. "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it" (Habakkuk 2:2). Happy weekend.
• MORNING TEA:
  Rom.10:10.
  I discover that one can be confessing a thing and be seeing the direct opposite of his/her confession. He/she can be confessing healing and yet tied down with sickness, or prosperity and yet wallowing in poverty. It is not head-believe-confession that delivers to you your desires but your heart-believe-confession. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom 10:10).
  Why are we so prone to speaking negative, seeing negative, feeling negative and acting negatively? The reason is because many of us are living in the realm of sense. You cannot live in the realm of sense and expect the word of God to work for you. Until you live in the word-realm you cannot get the word-answer. Leave the sense realm and live in the word realm. When that is done you are committing God's integrity to perform His word in your direction.
  How do I live in the word realm you may ask? It is possible only through meditation (Joshua 1:8). Constant meditation on God's word guarantees constant victory always (Phil 4:8). Victory is yours this week IJN.
• MORNING TEA:
  Hosea 12:13:
  "And by a PROPHET the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a PROPHET was he preserved.
  In this month of July, our month of RELEASE, you must understand that it takes a PROPHET to make PROFIT in life. Israelites needed to be released from bondage as a profit from God unto them, God sent a Prophet (Moses). When you meet your Prophet, your problem turns into a project. Until you are connected to him i.e. your Prophet others will make a profit out of you. Your Prophet brings profit to you. Your Prophet in this case is a person who has affected your life positively. How you treat him determines what is released to you. I pray that God will open eyes to know him. When you know him, do the following:
  1: Believe him. 2: Respect him. 3: Obey him. 4: Support him. 5: Pray for him.
  As you do, his anointing will work for you. God bless you real good.
• MORNING TEA:
  Eccl.1:9-10.
  There is nothing new under the sun. Nothing you ever desired or you are looking for in life that has not been given already (2Pet 1:3). God is not going to do anything new apart from what He has already done for you in Christ. The battle against poverty, sickness, failure, delay, sin, stagnation, witchcraft attack, disappointment etc was fought and won on the cross more than two thousand years ago. Another scripture is not going to be written for you to believe these apart from the one that has already been written which I believe you have it at your disposal. The earlier you start to live by it the better. The more confidence you have in this infallible word of God the more your life is changed into what it says and invariably the better your life becomes. All you ever desired and wished for in life are clearly stated in the scriptures. Your future is determined by it. If you don't want your future to be punctured, scripture must be your daily guide. My dear reader, you must picture your future using the scriptures if your future must escape been fractured. Hear this "The day you know that what you have been wishing and praying for is what you have already possessed, you will stop wishing for it and start living in it. You have dwelt long enough in that situation says the Lord, stop complaining and start proclaiming in order to obtain it. Your victory, prosperity, healing, promotion, protection, success etc is already settled. Start to give Him thanks now wherever you are. I rejoice with you. Happy Wednesday.
• MORNING TEA:
  John 11:12.
  Life doesn't offer you what you deserve but what you demand. It is not a game of saying it's my right that I know, but a game of placing a demand on your right. The bible says Since the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent takes it by force (The above text). Until you place a demand on what you need/want, your need will not be released to you. Doesn't God know what am passing through you may ask, He knows but if you don't do anything about what you are passing through He can't either. Why? Is He not the God that can do all things you ask? Yes He is, but remember He has given you the authority to handle it. If you don't display your authority over that Situation, it will displace you. I pray that will not happen IJN. I urge you this morning therefore; don't watch what you don't want. Keep pressing until you obtain the prize (Phil 3:13). No press no prize. You must be ready to confront any trouble in your life now if you must come front of it. Keep on keeping on. Keep expecting it until you experience it. A song writer says "Don't give up, it's not over. When you give up, then it's over. It is not over for you yet, God is taking over from you now IJN. I AM A WINNER.....If you agree with me retype that sentence. A favoured day for you.
• MORNING TEA:
  Matt. 9:29.
  What you become in life is a product of what you believe. Jesus' statement to the blind men above was....be it unto you according to your faith. Your life is a direct product of what you believe. You are empowered to become what you believe. (John 1:12). So, your life is not devil-determined or witches-determined but your life is faith-determined. It can only be unto you according to your faith. What you are now is not according to your circumstances, background or your environment, it is according to your believe/faith. So don't allow your background put your back on the ground neither let your environment envelop you. On a more serious note, your life is not even God-determined.....hmmm because until you believe God cannot perform (Heb 11:6). So you must accept the responsibility of making things happen for yourself. God responds to your responsibility. It is well. I see a bright day for you. Go and return with testimonies.
• MORNING TEA:
  Phil. 3:13.
  If you must enjoy God's best for your life, if you must enjoy His release this month, this year and beyond, you must release yourself of the past. Free yourself of the past and its memory. Past is past, there's nothing you can do about it. But I must tell you there's a lot you can do now about your future if your past must not repeat itself in your future. This should be your focus. The greatest enemy of the future is the memory of the past. No wonder, Apostle Paul wrote "...this one thing I do, forgetting the past and reaching forth onto those things which are ahead" (Phil 3:13). I must tell you this one, memory of the past successes, failures, achievements only comes to do one thing, to rob you of the glory of the future.
  Wake up every morning with the determination to do something that will contribute to your future. Make hay while the sun shines. Remember you don't have the eternity to live here on earth. Make each day count if your life must count in your generation. Come on, rise up and be the best you can be. You are a star going somewhere to manifest. I rejoice with you. Happy week end.
• MORNING TEA;
  1Cor 12:31.
  The more excellent way of getting excellent result is to Covet the Best Gifts. If you must collect the best gift you must covet it. If you must collect your healing, promotion, favour, breakthrough, appointment letter or admision letter e.t.c. you must covet it. Whatever good you covet God convert to you. If you don't covet then nothing to convert. What you don't covet you cannot collect. The best thing you ever desire in life which is yet to come to you answers to your coveting it. Apostle Paul says it is a more excellent way.
  To covet means to strongly desire a thing. How strong is your desire for what you are praying for? Remember it is whatever you desire when you pray....(Mk 11:24a). So desire must be put in place before prayer else your prayer will be a mere exercise without result. Not just a desire but a strong one. This kind of desire takes no for an answer. This is the kind of desire Jacob had when he had to fight with the Angel of the Lord (Gen 32:24-30) and you know what? He got what he wanted. This was made possible because he coveted God's blessing. "I will not let you go unless you bless me" was his request. Also, take note that you can only acquire what you desire. All that you desire this week you will acquire them IJN. Have a great day.
• MORNING TEA:
  Heb 13:8
  God is the same yesterday, and today and forever. You must approach Him with the right mindset if you must get anything from Him. Now hear this, what He did before, He can do it again and again. He can never be exhausted. There is nothing too big for Him to handle and nothing too small for Him to ignore. He is the God who is capable of duplicating to all what He does for one. He's a Mighty God. It is your believe in His Mightiness that qualifies you to be a candidate of His mighty works. "And He did not many MIGHTY WORKS there because of their unbelief" (Matt. 13:58). Your situation cannot scare Him neither can your threat force Him to act. It is your positive approach to the mightiness of this God that guarantees the delivery of His mighty works to you. The way you approach Him determines what approach you and also tells whether the reproach will stay or leave. Reproach bows to a man's positive approach to God Almighty.
  How then do I approach Him positively you may ask..Approach Him with the mentality that nothing is impossible for Him to do, not even your challenges. Your problem suddenly turns into a project when you approach Him with this right mentality. God can do all things I must tell you. But Pastor, why has He not done my own you may ask? It is because of your UNBELIEF. But I believe, you say. Yes your belief or unbelief shows in your speech, your look, and your action. All these move Him to your direction. I see God turning your challenges into a testimony today IJN.
  Good morning!
• MORNING TEA:
  Prov. 23:18 "For surely there is an end; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be cut off"
  Your approach to God determines what approach you. You must approach God with your expectation. Many pray but few expect. Are you part of many that pray without expectation or few with expectation? Expectation gives birth to manifestation. It is your expectation that brings the expert in you. What you don't expect you cannot experience, and until you experience it you cannot explain it. This was the kind of experience that qualified John the beloved to write to the church when he said "That which from the beginning, which we've seen, heard and our hands have handled, of the word of life...." (1John 1:1-3) Frustration bows to you when your expectation is in place. A man of expectation cannot be frustrated no matter how difficult the situation looks. What put an end to evil is the expectation of good. Also, the expectation of fruitfulness put an end to barrenness, on and on. There's no need to pray if your expectation is not in place. What did you pray about this morning? Expect answers as I agree with you here that your expectation will come to pass IJN. Congrats you made it to the last day of July 2013!!!
