Prompt obedience to Holy Spirit

Most of the teachings of David Ibiyeome is centered on the Holy Spirit and the need for prompt obedience to instruction. Apart from prosperity and success, he takes his time to teach on the person on the Holy Spirit and how believers can relate with Him as a person to enjoy the enormous spiritual blessings.

David Ibiyeomie practical teachings on the Holy Spirit is phenomenally simple but revealing on the power of the Holy Spirit. In all his teachings, David Ibiyeome has emphasized that the Holy Spirit is Person that is for, with, and inside the believer.

His relationship with the Holy Spirit is glaring as David Ibiyeomie walks in the miraculous in any of his ministration.

Love for God and Humanity

The foundation of these covenant practices are anchored on love. David Ibiyeomie speaks with authority and boldness on the subject of love. He notes that amongst these three pillars of faith, hope and love, love is the greatest of them. And every child of God must demonstrate and live the life of love towards man and God.

David Ibiyeomie’s acts of love for God and humanity is expressed in covenant practices of soul winning and giving. Love is not a feeling or emotion, love is expressed in compassion through giving and saving the lost.

This covenant practice comes with this biblical mantra God is love, love is God from

Soul Winning

Soul winning is the manifestation of love for God and humanity in real time. David Ibiyeomie is a consistent soul winner as a key covenant practice to enjoy God’s abundant provision, protection and preservation in life and ministry.

He has several testimonies on the spiritual benefits of soul winning bringing miraculous provision and healing at different times. Several, he shared that while in bible school, he had the highest number of soul won and established in church in 1996.

This is evident, as Pastor David David Ibiyeomie practically go out with his team of pastors for soul winning the Saturday preceding the monthly three-day fasting and prayer programme of Salvation Ministries tagged Week of Spiritual Empowerment, WOSE. He goes further to keep the record of persons that attended the programme.

David Ibiyeomie has described soul-winning as the heartbeat of God.

Giving

To come out of poverty, every geninue believer must engage in this covenant practice consistently and continuously. God’s servant, David Ibiyeomie has never shy away from teaching and preaching this gospel of Jesus on prosperity and success.

A quick reminder, one of the pillars of Salvation Ministries is success, not just financial success but all round success in life and ministry.

For him, giving is the mystery key that unlocks the floor-gate of prosperity and shatters the shackles of poverty. This incredible preacher, David Ibiyeomie had severally shared his encounter with light from Hebrew 7:7 which reads ‘And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better’.

This scripture broke the backbone of financial hardship in 1997. He took the last N50 note he and his wife had as a prophetic seed into the life of his spiritual father, David Oyedepo. The testimony of his ceaseless financial authority is tied to that the seed.

Besides, the prophetic seed is the covenant practice of tithing. Tithe is a biblical command found in Malachi 3:8,10 – Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

David Ibiyeomie is unapologetic about this teaching that has caused quite a stir. However, as at today, David Ibiyeomie has not disclosed the percentage he pays as tithe because he said ‘I don’t pay 10%’.

The giving lifestyle of this practical teacher of the gospel of Jesus are not limited to those two but he goes further to sacrificial offerings. Two instances comes to mind, if you are ardent follower of David Ibiyeomie’s teaching.

He has lived a lifestyle of sacrificial giving even at home, he said God instructed him to give out his monthly salary of N1,500 while his wife was waiting for him downstairs to get foodstuffs for their family. The testimony that followed this sacrificial giving is shocking and humbly.

Again, God spoke to him to give an offering of $1,000,000.00 at a time when he has not owe a personal house anywhere in the world. He promptly obeyed without telling his wife but only the church accountant knew about the offering. The testimony hereafter is humbly; he effortless enjoys a remarkable financial grace in life and ministry to envy of many.

His expression of love through giving is simply uncommon. There are several children under his scholarship through the David Ibiyeomie Foundation, DIF. The foundation takes care of the elderly people in society through the provision of houses and domestic staff for them.

Do you want to command financial abundance? Then, apply this covenant practice at your level and see God turn your story around.

Cheerful and Praiseful Personality

David Ibiyeomie as gospel preacher carries an aura energized by the presence of the Holy Spirit that enables him stay cheerful, praiseful, thankful and joyful. These compelling attitudes are covenant practices to prevail over any negative circumstances.

Adorned in the cultural attire of native land, the waist dance of the Okrika people is legendary, thus making it a popular dance step across the globe. He jealously guides his spirit from depression or negative situation.

His smile is infectious, full of humor during his teachings and preaching, a lover of football but never a fan of a losing team and rich of wisdom for life experience.

Psalm 22:3 – But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Submission to Spiritual Authority – Bishop David Oyedepo

Connectivity is key to enjoying continuous virtue from spiritual authority. Connectivity is not proximity but a thing of the heart, therefore, anybody that wants to be kingdom success must submit to a spiritual authority as a father. This kind of covenant relationship is based on the heart and the benefits of counsel, guidance and impartation of grace to replicate results with speed and precision is incontestable.

This is the kind of relationship David Ibiyeomie enjoys with spiritual father, Bishop David Oyedepo. From learning under him while in bible school and sowing a prophetic seed, David Ibiyeomie has evidently replicated results of Bishop Oyedepo from ministerial fulfilment, church growth, kingdom exploits, and success.

The prophetic seed released David Ibiyeomie to financial abundance while the impartation of wisdom and spirit of boldness is evident in all his ministration and his counsel had averted several untold havoc and mistakes he would have made in ministry.

For David Ibiyeomie, it is clear who is spiritual father is; who are you submitting to in your journey in life, business, and ministry?
