God commissioned us with the ministry of the Word of Faith to preach it to all generations and liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil.
By the leading of the Holy Ghost, Dr David Oyedepo was led to classify the mandate (Word of Faith) given to him by God into specific areas of emphasis, in direct response to Isaiah 40:6. “The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?…”.
He has named these 12 areas of emphasis as the 12 Pillars of our Commission. We have crossed Jordan into power, bearing the ark of liberation.
Here are the 12 stones, after the order of Joshua 4:1-8, 20-24. Having stood firm upon these twelve stones! And they have resulted in breakthroughs and amazing testimonies – both for the ministry and all that are partakers with us, of the same grace.
