The Mandate

"The Mandate" was received from the LORD in an 18-hour vision. Our task is to liberate the entire world from all oppressions of the enemy both spirtual and physical through the teachings and preaching of the word of FAITH, schooling them to exploits in life and releasing men and women to thier full potentials to benefit humanity

This was the Divine mandate received from the LORD:

"Now the hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil through the preaching of the word of faith, and I am sending you to undertake this task."

Today, testimonies of liberation through our messages, books, tapes, magazines and other periodicals are most humbling. The word of faith is working like fire for the liberation of mankind across the nations.

Twelve Pillars of the Commision

God commissioned the presiding Bishop of this commission with a Word of Faith ministry to our generation. Remember Paul said,

"...if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (1 Cor 14:8)

As a Commission, we have experienced amazing testimonies ever since this commission was handed down - that is over forty years now! The Holy Ghost further inspired the servant of God, Dr. David Oyedepo, to classify the Word of Faith He has committed into his hands into the specific areas of emphasis, in direct response to Isaiah 40:6,

"The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?..."

He has named these 12 areas of emphasis as the 12 Pillars of our Commission. We have crossed Jordan into power, bearing the ark of liberation. Here are the 12 stones, after the order of Joshua 4:1-8, 20-24. Having stood firm upon these twelve stones! And they have resulted in breakthroughs - both for the ministry and all that are partakers with us, of the same grace.

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." (1 John 5:4; Ephesians 6:16)

2) THE WORD
"Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power..." (John 1:1-12; Hebrews 1:3)

3) THE SUPERNATURAL
"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." (Psalm 82:5-7; John 3:8)

4) PRAISE
"And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah: and they were smitten." (2 Chro. 20:20-22; Psalm 67:1-7; 149:1-9)

5) THE HOLY SPIRIT
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing." (Acts 1:1-8; Isaiah 10:27)

6) PROSPERITY
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 2. "Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad..." (3 John 2; Psalm 35:27; Zech. 1:17)

7) VISION
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." (Proverbs 29:18, Jer. 29:11),

8) PRAYER
"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us." (1 John 5:14)

9) HEALING

"And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure." (Prov. 24:3-4, Isaiah 33:6)

11) CONSECRATION

12) SUCCESS
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8-10)
