Minister: Pastor Laide Olaniyan

Tongues and Interpretation 1

Are you hearing the sound of joy?

Even the joyful sound?

For I will play even the beats of the joyful sound,

I will play the drums of the joyful sound,

Have I not said it in my word that my joy, even the joy of the Lord is your strength?

For you need strength to go through tribulations

For I had to set up a joy before my own son, for Him to endure and to lay hold on my promise,

It was the joy,

For you see the chastening you are going through in this present time does not seem joyous but grievous,

But it is supposed to yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those that exercise themselves thereby,

You need joy to exercise and go through the process,

You need joy to fulfill the demands of temptation,

Count it all joy, for indeed, there is a joyful sound,

Joy unspeakable, full of glory,

I want to raise many who will see my end as Job saw,

He is an example of your brethren the prophet,

He saw the end of the Lord; that I am pitiful, merciful and gracious,

If you don’t endure to the end, you will think ill of me and count me unfaithful,

In every temptation, I make a door or escape,

In every temptation, I regulate it,

Whatever is coming your way, i allowed it because you have the capacity, you have what it takes to go through it and not sin, but you must see and hear joy,

You must see something to go through everything,

So I’m beating the sound and drum of joy and I want to beat it into your soul,

The temptation will meet you joyful and leave you joyful,

I’m beating the drums of joy and I will beat it into your soul.

Saith the spirit.

Tongues and Interpretation 2

I do a twain work,

It’s a two- fold work and I work it by my grace,

A two- fold work that will establish you as a people, even as a gate,

A gate for access of my things and a gate to shut out the adversary,

For it is a twain work and I work it by my grace,

A grace I have put in the hands of emissaries to deliver unto you,

I say to my servant that I have given oversight of this work: I give keys; keys to open and keys to lock,

For I want to push in many things into this land, and I want to shut out many so i do a twain work; a two-fold work, a two- edged work

One for access and one to bar access and entry,

For there are many adversaries, many spirits that want to still perpetuate things in this land but I want them to be stopped at the gate,

It’s a word gate, a speaking gate, for you will speak up a garrison, a stronghold that will prevent access of the adversary,

It will be an access and an entry point for the downloading of my things,

It will be a speaking gate; a word gate,

I will build it by my grace, yea, i’m building it already,

Grace is available, even as I said through my servant, there is grace for this year,

I have said it and I’m saying again, I have sent grace through emissaries,

This won’t be the end of it, they will bring many more grace for many more speakings,

It’s a twain work, a two-fold work; access and to bar access.

Tongues and Interpretation 3

I stand in your midst even by the authority of the Father,

And from my mouth is proceeding sharp swords for the piercing of many hearts,

For the work of cutting through many many layers of flesh

For I want to incise many hearts,

It is the time to seek the the Lord,

It is the time to turn and change,

So I stand in your midst and I’m bringing the ability which God giveth,

Every word that is spoken, is to the end that change may be done,

I anoint the tongue of my servant and I make it a pen to write quickly the things that pertain to change n transformtion of many,

This is a season to truly seek, for the Lord wants many seekers,

He wants a change even in the disposition of many,

He wants to write, He wants to circumcise the foreskin of hearts,

He wants to write and He will write,

For I am standing in your midst for that purpose, to see that every word is a word,

For the piercing, for the incision, for the cutting, to the end that there will be a change,

You know that there ought to be a change,

You asked for it, you desire it, you want it,

You know that there ought to be a change and i have been sent for that purpose and intent,

I come by the authority of the Father,

Change, change, change.

Saith the Spirit of God.

A lot is happening in the realm of the spirit. One thing that we must know is that the world we know, no longer exists. Sometimes, it can be difficult to comprehend and we might not be able to pinpoint these changes but by the Spirit; we might not be able to pinpoint when a world is rolled away. There have been several worlds, which are dispensations of times that have existed. A world or an age can be rolled away but yet, the earth remains the same. The implication is that the times, exposure and the spirit that contends with you for life changes. What it takes for us to survive and walk in righteousness is further heightened. To walk in the same level of light used to survive in a previous age will not suffice in a darker age. This is not because the truth is weaker but because darkness has waxed grosser.

God is preserving us against the coming of Satan. If God allows all of Satan to come, even the very elect will not be saved (Matt 24:24). Somewhere, we underestimate Satan as believers, claiming that Jesus has the victory. But if God allows the fullness of Satan, though he is a fallen cherub, we won’t be able to stand. Satan is striving to give birth to his own man child; that son of perdition, who will be able to house everything called unrighteousness; that is the prime of His strength. Whether we like it or not, that day is coming. We can’t pray it away, we can’t wish it away. Our desires and prayers cannot change it.

The only thing that the Lord gave to the church is to race into light and understanding, into the fullness of the sealings that there is in Jesus, before that evil day breaks up on us. Something has shifted in the spirit, it may take time before the physical catches up but tides have changed. God wants us to be discerning of this reality rather than get terrified by it. The goal is to make us aware and lighten our hearts to a reality that we might hitherto be oblivious of.

(Eccl 9:12) — For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

Man does not discern his time; this is not meant to happen to the sons of the kingdom. This sudden falling of the evil day is not meant to happen to us — (1Thess 5:4-5). One of the privileges of faith is that as children of light, the understanding and discerning of times and seasons should always dawn upon our souls.

(Eph 5:15-16) — “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

If we don’t understand how to discern times, the evil day will dawn on us suddenly like other sons of men. All of those that are born of light or children of the day, have the responsibility to discern the time. The understanding of the times dictates how we walk. The children of darkness also know how to discern times and walk in their own light too.

(1Thess 5:7-8)“For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.”

The badge of those who are of the day is sobriety. Those who are ‘drunken’ use the night economy to live. Being asleep doesn’t mean they are not active, it means that they are dead to righteousness. Those of us who are of the world of righteousness ought to be alive to the reality of light. We should always war to break into another day/light/dispensation/economy. To be asleep means to be dull, asleep, confused. But we as the children of the day ought to be arming ourselves with requirements of warfare (IThess 5:8).

Light should not be strange to us. We might think we have heard strange things but we must know that there are even stranger things. God is not yet fully divided but His light will dawn on us gradually. Another wave of light is opening up to rapture up sons and children of light.

We should be excited about the wave of light that Jesus is dawning over us. He is giving Himself to us like He has not done before and there is an eagerness in God to bring light open over us.

TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION

A massacre is coming,

A hacking down of men,

Even killing men in broad day light,

Not a physical massacre, more of spiritual,

Run into safety,

Come to me I am safety,

I am safe, I am safety,

Run to me, I am the secure one,

For a massacre is coming, even a spiritual massacre, even the hacking down of men.

Message continues…

(2Tim 4:1-4) — “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

A time is coming when the capacity to bear what is sound; to make a sound man will not be there again. Men will become weak. There will be an open massacre where ideologies will slay men and make them not able to accommodate or receive truth. Tireless labour in truth, exaltation and doctrine is a race to get men into the ark of salvation. God wants us to hear our Daddy, Reverend Kayode Oyegoke. We must fight to listen, to receive. What the churches of the word of righteousness are doing is that they are fighting to receive what Jesus has shown to our Father to give it to the church.

This is not a time to dilly-dally around truth. There is a famine of truth in the world and even in the church outside. God will have us pay attention to what we are hearing and be thankful for it. We need to be more persuaded of the truth God has given His servant to the church. God wants us to hear Reverend Kayode. God doesn’t want us to follow from afar. We should drink into the spirit and into the baptism of the word. God is preparing us for the times to come. Something is coming upon the face of the earth.

This year is like a full year of preparation for the years ahead of us. God has given us this year. Let us maximize it to be sound in faith, in doctrine, in conversation and in spirit. We should hear like never before and fight our warfare.
