ocnovakmichael: Recently I was discussing with a brother, who is a Winner, and he said to me that he's not one to attend the community church. That he likes attending service in Canaan Land. This got me thinking: because ever since I became a Winner, I have not deliberated attending service at Canaan Land. Though I have had the longing to go but I'd not really giving much effort to it.
Recently, upon thinking about the words of that brother, that he's not one to attend the community church, I was like, is there something wrong about attending the community church? I looked around me and noticed that many around our community are like that brother. They don't like attending service at the community church. They rather go to Canaan Land to hear Bishop, which is good and fine. As that thought became preponderate on my mind, I realized that even some Winners who reside opposite the community church, on Sunday morning ,prepare to attend service at Canaan Land.
Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad in going to Canaan Land if you're resident around Lagos-Ota and environs. However, the local community churches also need people to develop them. They need the strength of all and sundry to make the local church as aesthetic as what we have in Canaan Land today.
Unfortunately, many who go to Canaan Land are, by my own submission, presumptuous that the local Pastors don't have the same anointing as Bishop, which is true: because the disciple cannot be greater than the master (Matthew 9:11). However, the same corporate anointing which flows from Canaan Land is the same in all the local community churches. But many don't believe this, and so many are not well established as a Winner in their local church communities.
At one time, Bishop said, God showed him fire, as in the anointing, coming down and splitting into several splinters. This the Lord said to him that the same anointing that is resident in Canaan Land, is resident in all the local assemblies and Home Cells. Now why many don't believe this and attend services in their local assemblies, but would rather go to Canaan Land, I don't know. Many perhaps do not believe in the words of the Bishop in this aspect, or they would rather see Bishop than the local Pastor.
2 Chronicles 20:20 [20]And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Notice scripture says, "... Believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper." You see, many are not prospering in their local assemblies because they do not take heed to the words of the prophet concerning the fact the the same corporate anointing in Canaan Land is obtainable in all local assemblies. For the Bishop had said, the same corporate anointing which is resident in Canaan Land, resides in all the local community churches, and Home Cells. That statement is scriptural. And until many a Winner believe in it, they shall not be established amongst their brethren in their local assemblies. Now why did I say that statement by the Bishop is scriptural? In 1 Samuel the thirtieth chapter, David speaking by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost says:
1 Samuel 30:24 [24]For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
Notice that text says, "... But as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike." Put somewhat differently in this context, 'But as the blessings and encounters of he that attend service in Canaan Land, so shall his blessings and encounters be that tarrieth in the local assembly: they both shall part alike.'
When I got this revelation, I decided there is no need heading down to Canaan Land, when I can have the same blessings by walking a stone throw from my house to the local assembly.
As a Winner, you are part of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, founded by Bishop David Oyedepo. While Canaan Land is the international headquarters of the church, attendance is not mandatory.
The church encourages members to attend services at their local assemblies or community churches, which are usually closer and more convenient. These local assemblies are still part of the Living Faith Church Worldwide and provide opportunities for worship, teaching, and fellowship.
However, attending services at Canaan Land can be a powerful and enriching experience, especially during special programs and events. Many Winners do travel to Canaan Land for these occasions, but it's not a requirement.
Ultimately, as a Winner, you should seek to attend services at a location that feeds your spirit and helps you grow in your faith, whether that's at your local community church or Canaan Land.
Don't hoard knowledge, propagate it!
Jesus is Lord
If all Living faith Church members were expected to worship here in Cannanland (yeah, I literally LIVE in Cannanland) there wouldn't be any need to plant churches in other locations.
Anyone who feels he or she must worship here even though they live in Iba or Badagry or Abeokuta, it's their problem. Let them do it.
All I know is, there are Winners members in PH, Abuja, Kaduna, etc. can they come to Cannanland?
aariwa: Yorubas are very good in entertainment, sports, music etc but I noticed they are not good administratively when it comes to money management which I am sorry to say but that has been my observation over the years
Twob: Domestic cat, some birds, honeybadger and some other animals kill snakes easily, especially cat. The snake is either a forest or spitting cobra. For sure, from the writers notions about the dog, the snake had bitten the dog, hence the reason foe the dog sickly behaviour. But thank God he quickly called the vet to come to the dog's aid... That snake is venomous
Pigs also kill snakes.
In fact, they eat snakes alive.
The thick fatty layer underneath their skin prevents the venom from the snake bites from reaching their bloodstream.
That's a spitting cobra, by the way. Mambas are native to southern Africa.
Those saying it's a mamba should kneel down and thank the Lord that there are no mambas in Nigeria and even West Africa.
ElSudani: Let's examine what had happened in the 20 days. Let's also not forget Trump blamed the democrats for the fire in Los Angeles, how could that be?
Gavin Newsome's government refused to route water through the forests in California, even after Trump advised him to.
The California fire was glaringly foreseeable, and the Dem Government refused to do what was needed to provide water to curb any outbreaks.
When the fires started, the fire service had little to no water to contain it.
It was clearly the government's fault.
As for this one and the air mishaps, how did Trump cause them?
Acekidc4: We should be able to manage our affairs as a big Nation. All this childish behaviour Big baby Trump is exhibiting since he resume office is teaching us to rely on ourselves and stop looking for cheap handouts.
How is Trump a "big baby"?
His country is over $30 trillion in debt!
Why would he not seek to block leaks in government spending?
Plus, why can't we Nigerians do family planning for ourselves?
If we are relying on the US for such triviality, we are the baby.
kcprince: The law actually don’t recognize what you steal. Stealing is stealing but my own anger is why will the family of the thief take their child and abandon this man that is a victim of their child’s bad conduct
What of the so-called "friend" who left prison and never looked back, never tried to see how he could help the person he put in jail?
What of the unforgiving woman who had people jailed because of flip-flops?
I won't bother to talk about police. Those ones are mostly animals, sorry to say.
Peakdesign23: Na now she go know the meaning of "I get am before no be property".
If she retired as a senior officer and has a mob of cops loyal to her, it will be like she never retired, and for a long time she will enjoy that influence.
ganilas007: It crazy how things happen and suddenly become a trend for sometimes.
All this bulshit needs to stop every mistakes in aviation come with a huge price up to taking lives and properties so there should no be room for silly mistakes coz of operators negligence.
Mrfeel: You were too young to have a phone when ESN were burning down Fulani settlements and shooting their cows in the south east? And the outcry that followed after?
Well, the ESN were stomped by the NA, and now this is happening.
I'm sure those doing outcry then are now happy?
I don't even know how Nigeria remains a country when it's so-called citizens wish gruesome death upon each other.
Ringstonermasks: eyah... d evil old man that deposed d former Zhar of Iran. The well loved Zhar. After using him for years, Carter betrayed d man. That's just 1% of the evil of Carter. People seem to forget the past easily cos of public sentiments.
All these hypocrisy cos he was a president nd an American and an old man and his rotten in d ground now, doesn't excuse his evil.
If you think he's the one who deposed Shah Pallavi, you don't know how America works.
America is an oligarchy, with not all the members of the American Oligarchy even American!
The so-called "Deep State" is their tool, a network of companies and wealthy individuals all over the world linked by their evil, selfish interests.
Most US Presidents have been their puppets. Any POTUS that refuses to play ball is plagued by media bashing and blackballing.
THEY push US foreign policy to strengthen their international interests in their push for global control.
Saywhat10: Angry Nigerians from the Northern Nigeria pulled down Bola Ahmed Tinubu's 2027 campaign billboard vowed to vote against Bola Tinubu come 2027 elections over hunger and hardship.
presido11: From his name, the morooon is from SW too. So why involve El-rufai? The Bashroon is an adult and he fully responsible from what comes out of his mouth.
He's an idiot. He said he's not Yoruba, he's Okun. What is Okun if not Yoruba? The funniest thing is, Okun is overwhelmingly Christian, so we Okun don't even know what he's all about.
Of course, it's political. It's always political when we see otherwise unexplainable stuff like this happening.
His name is Moferewa Basorun, and he's not Yoruba!
What a CLOWN!
Please, anyone who catches him should send him to Kabba. We just wanna have a small chat with him.
d142475: What if he had moved to Nigeria or any good African or Asian country to start his life again. He will be able to avoid paying that money to his wife and still keep the hope alive that he’d see his children again in the future. RIP. Thank God he didn’t commit murder-suicide.
Abi naa......would the US ask for extradition for avoiding child support?
SmartPolician: Rochas Okorocha just littered the entire state with substandard projects. Just a few years after the end of his administration, all his key projects have collapsed.
Not holding brief for anybody, but, was the building constructed by Rochas?
