In a recent video on YouTube, Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has emphasized the necessity of bold declarations in commanding the supernatural.
In his message, Oyedepo highlighted that it is impossible to manifest divine power with a closed mouth, urging believers to speak in faith and align their words with the promises of God.
He further stressed that Jesus had full authority but chose to submit to God’s will. “He said to Pilate, ‘You will have no power over me. If I manifest now, you will be smelling,’” Oyedepo added, illustrating the dominion believers can exercise through faith-filled declarations.
According to him, “It’s impossible to command the supernatural with closed mouth. Jesus, the most anointed that ever walked the planet Earth said, “He was brought to judgement, yet He opened not His mouth” – because it was the way to go, He was on the way there. There is no closed mouth that can command the supernatural. Isaiah 53:7…but if you get down to John 18 when they came against Him “whom seek ye?” – ‘Jesus’ and they fell backward. He had all the power but “I have not come to do my will but thine will, O God.”Nobody could have taken His life from Him. He said to Pilate “you will have no power over me. If I manifest now, you will be smelling.”
“You can’t command the supernatural with “I can’t say I’m healed when I’m not healed. I want to be true to myself.” satan says, “yes, you are a very true man. Just be true. Be true abeg.” Before I saw money, I had already declared, “I can never be poor.” Before I tasted marriage, I had declared, “set for hitch free marriage.” What are your declarations? Have you ever declared anything that you stood with? We are not redeemed as robots. We have the facts of Scriptures to live a fulfilled life.”
