A special feature of Operation By All Means 2016 is the “Evening and Morning Gospel Raids”, as it is written:
“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.” – Ecclesiastes 11:6
Hitherto, as a church, we have been engaging mainly in morning operations in our church-based outreaches over the years, until the recent Operation Rescue 2015, where by divine signal, Evening Gospel Raids were introduced.
Interestingly, we saw how God engaged both the morning and evening at creation, as it is written,
“…and the evening and the morning were the first day. The second day…the third day…the fourth day…the fifth day…and the sixth day” – Genesis 1:5-31
We also discover that Jesus engaged both the morning and evening season in reaching out to the masses, as it is written;
“And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him” – Luke 21:38
Secondly,
“When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick” – Matthew 8:16
This is why we must engage both the morning and evening to fully deliver this Operation By All Means prophetic agenda.
EVENING AND MORNING GOSPEL RAID OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
First, we shall be launching out with our “anointed sickles of harvest” such as tracts, packaged to address specific needs of people in our various territories and flyers to advertise the special church programmes. We shall be reaching out to the masses with these materials at the following points, among others:
- Various Bus stops
- Market places within our various communities,
- Gates leading to estates and living quarters,
- While riding on public transportation
- Hospitals,
- Care Homes, etc, etc.
We must saturate everywhere on our harvest field with the gospel of liberation through these tracts, flyers and other materials packaged to with others to Christ.
Secondly, we shall be required to locate soul-winning partners for the purpose of getting better results in our souls winning endeavours, as it is written;
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
This is what we call Covenant Partnership. Even Jesus sent them out two by two (Luke 10:1).
Thirdly, we shall continue to develop impactful strategies in our church-based outreaches across our harvest field. Meanwhile, we shall be engaging 2 hours for 4 evenings of the week, that is, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, while we have the Saturday morning outreaches also for 2 hours. Timing for this event shall be as suitable for each location.
In addition, our church-based outreaches may include holding of mini crusades across our harvest field as may be applicable to each location.
However, the fruit from all our outreaches, personal and church-based shall not only be brought into the church but also very importantly made to be part of the cell system of the church, both for preservation and spiritual growth as we continue to drive grass-root growth.
Remember, everyone’s commitment to the advancement of the Kingdom is ordained to result in the individual’s supernatural advancement (Psalm 102:13-15).
We must also remember that only those who engage willingly and diligently shall be openly rewarded (1 Corinthians 9:17, Hebrews 11:6).
This is therefore a call for volunteers to serve in this ever-winning kingdom-advancement army in order to qualify for supernatural rewards.
For everyone on the line for miracle jobs, the prophetic word has gone forth. God is saying ‘Let me engage you and no employer will ever reject you’. We have another opportunity for both Evening and Morning Gospel Raids to get on the go for Jesus and expect our miracle jobs as we do so, as validated by the following testimony:
WONDER DOUBLE JOB
For some time now, I had believed God for a change of status. I was at ground zero level that I had no worship offering for services. When the second phase of the wonder-double agenda was flagged off, I determined to give it my best by engaging aggressively in kingdom-focused prayers and soul winning endeavours. I engaged myself in 5-hour kingdom-focused prayers during the day and 2 hours at midnight every day. When the 7-day congregational fast came to an end, i determined to continue in the fast into the second week.
On Sunday, September 13, 2015, Bishop Oyedepo gave a prophetic word that “anyone on line for a miracle job who will let Jesus engage him this week, no employer would be able to reject them”. When the evening gospel raids kicked off the following day, I engaged in it fully on the employment of Jesus, winning souls into His kingdom. Lo and behold, as a result of my kingdom engagements since the second phase of the Wonder-Double season began, the God of Wonder-Double showed up in my affairs that week. On Thursday, September 17th 2015, I received a call to resume as a Facility Manager of a multi-billion naira company with a fantastic official car and a salary package that can only make one speak in tongues. This is a job that is way beyond my level of exposure. Indeed, Bishop David Oyedepo is a prophet who speaks the mind of God per-time. Infact, Psalm 126:1 has become a reality in my life as I am in my dream land. Truly, Matthew 6:33 works like fire for anyone who is interested. To God be the glory! – Oyegunle Delano
Without any doubt, this divine visitation is ordained to result in our dramatic change of position both as a church and as individuals.
Therefore, we must
“lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed” – Hebrews 12:12-13
Arise and shine for your light has come!
Jesus is Lord!
