In this sobering and thought-provoking message, Pastor Olubi Johnson examines the uncomfortable truth that many of the challenges seen in the world today can be traced back to the spiritual condition of the Church itself. God’s strategy for transforming the earth has always been His people, yet when believers fail to walk in truth, discipline, and obedience, the light meant to guide the world grows dim. This message calls the Church back to responsibility. Rather than blaming society, believers must first examine their own hearts, their devotion to God, and their commitment to living out His Word. Revival in the nations begins with renewal within the Church. Pastor Olubi emphasizes that when believers return to humility, prayer, and wholehearted obedience, the Church once again becomes the vessel through which God’s wisdom, power, and righteousness are revealed to the world.

In this prophetic message, Pastor Olubi Johnson reveals a divine pattern seen in both Solomon’s temple and the Upper Room: when a consecrated, unified company reaches spiritual “critical mass,” the glory of God fills the house. Glory does not rest on a crowd—it rests on a company. Before intercession comes identity: as He is, so are we in this world. We do not pray toward a throne; we pray from one. This message outlines the four conditions that form the threshold: Consecration Unity (“one sound”) Persistent Spirit-prayer Refined hearts walking in love Tongues builds prayer mass. Travail increases spiritual intensity. Love keeps the flow pure. When these converge, heaven responds. Pastor Olubi also reminds us that the prayers of generations past are stored before God. Our intercession today may be what tips the bowl. The glory is coming. The question is whether we are refined enough to carry it.

In this profound and prophetic message from Isaiah 9:6–7 and Isaiah 59:16–19, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils the divine architecture of how God governs the earth. The government is upon Christ’s shoulder—established, secure, and continuously increasing. But how does that heavenly authority reach into families, cities, and nations? How does the arm of God actually move? Isaiah answers with stunning clarity. When God looked for an intercessor and found none, His own arm brought salvation. Yet the pattern of Scripture reveals that the arm of God is meant to operate in partnership with Spirit-filled believers. The Spirit lifts a standard against the flood—but He does so through prepared vessels who stand in the gap. This message connects Christ at the right hand of God with the daily prayer life of the believer. Praying in the Spirit is not a private exercise; it is governmental cooperation. It is the mechanism through which heaven’s authority is enforced on earth. The shoulder speaks of established rule. The arm speaks of active intervention. And the Church, matured and disciplined, becomes the channel through which both operate. In a generation where the enemy comes in like a flood, this teaching calls believers to rise into spiritual maturity—walking the Path of Life daily, cultivating integrity, strengthening the inner man, and committing to sustained intercession. The zeal of the Lord will perform His purpose. The question is whether we will be ready to participate. This is not merely theology. It is a call to become vessels of the arm of God in this prophetic hour.

Pastor Olubi Johnson presents a powerful message on the declaration, “As He is, so are we in this world,” urging the Church to recognize this truth as a present reality rather than a distant hope. He challenges believers to move beyond viewing Christ’s perfection as unattainable, emphasizing that the standard is His current resurrection and glory, not just His earthly ministry. This revelation empowers believers to approach judgment with assurance, grounded in love that has been perfected within them. The connection to Christ, described as “joints and bands,” enables divine life to flow from heaven to believers, affirming their holy and seated position in heavenly places. Pastor Johnson outlines how to activate Kingdom authority through praying in the Spirit, using Life Scriptures, and engaging in Pauline prayers, unlocking the “machinery of heaven.” This call to maturity emphasizes that the world will be drawn to the Church not through arguments but through the visible manifestation of God’s glory. The message invites believers to embrace their identity in Christ and walk boldly in this truth.

In this message, Pastor Olubi Johnson lays out a clear and practical spiritual framework for walking spotless in an age of increasing pressure and compromise. Rather than presenting holiness as a burden, he reveals it as a life-giving pathway sustained by divine life, love, and daily spiritual maintenance. The message centers on the double commandment of life and love—receiving the life of Christ first, and then expressing that life through genuine love for others. Pastor Olubi explains that spotless living is made possible through total honesty before God, continual cleansing by the Blood of Jesus, and the steady flow of divine life into the soul through humility and repentance. A strong emphasis is placed on the role of the will as the gateway of the heart, the urgency of settling spiritual matters quickly, and the discipline of regular heart-checks to prevent unseen accumulations of offense or guilt. Forgiveness is presented not only as obedience, but as a key to spiritual health, healing, and unhindered power. The message concludes with a sober yet hopeful call to preparation—likening the Church to a bride being made ready for Christ’s appearing. Through consistent obedience, faith, and heart alignment, believers are invited to grow into maturity, remain blameless, and walk confidently toward the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose.

In this message, Pastor Olubi Johnson calls the Church to discern the prophetic timing of the latter rain and to respond with intentional prayer, fasting, and spiritual focus. He explains that while the former rain brought us into new birth in Christ, the latter rain is required to mature the seed of Christ within us—bringing believers into perfection and the full stature of Christ. The message emphasizes that fasting is not self-punishment but a redirection of strength toward the Word and prayer, positioning believers to walk in amplified spiritual power. Prayers offered in the Spirit are presented as incense gathered into heavenly bowls, preserved until they are released through the intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ to effect global transformation. Believers are warned not to substitute material pursuit for spiritual growth. The true priority of this season is maturity—Christ formed fully in His body. As the Church embraces the teaching of perfection and labors consistently in prayer, God restores what spiritual stagnation has eaten and prepares His people for a final, glorious harvest marked by the Spirit without measure and greater works. This message is a sober invitation to faithful intercession in a decisive hour—contributing our prayers to God’s redemptive plan as the Church transitions from the birth of Christ to His maturity, and ultimately to the unveiling of His glory in the earth.

Pastor Olubi Johnson calls the Body of Christ to a deeper, more intentional practice of thanksgiving as we transition from the mercies of 2025 into the anticipation of 2026. Gratitude, he teaches, is not a polite custom or end-of-year routine—it is spiritual infrastructure. Without a fortified heart of thanksgiving, believers will lack the capacity to carry the weight of the glory God is preparing to release. This message unveils thanksgiving as a spiritual substance—the “fruit of our lips”—that completes heaven’s divine cycle of life: of Him, through Him, and to Him. When we give thanks, we return to God what He first placed within us, forming a living feedback loop that refreshes the Lord and sustains divine flow. Shallow gratitude, therefore, is not a worship problem but a thinking problem; deep thanksgiving is born from deep meditation. Through the story of the ten lepers, Pastor Olubi contrasts entitlement with true appreciation. While nine received healing and moved on casually, the Samaritan made the costly effort to return and give thanks—revealing that genuine gratitude recognizes mercy as undeserved favor, not entitlement. The message further emphasizes that thanksgiving must be three-dimensional: spiritual (words, praise, and praying in the Spirit), physical (expressive worship with the body), and financial (honoring God with substance and fulfilled vows). As the Church anticipates the Latter Rain and the Third-Day move of God, Pastor Olubi issues a sober warning: the coming glory is pure and swift. Pride, casualness, and spiritual arrogance will not survive it. Thanksgiving offered before manifestation—rooted in humility—is essential preparation. This message is an invitation to wisdom: to move from the drizzle of past preparation into the deluge of God’s manifest power by learning to give thanks sufficiently—and well.

In this deeply apostolic message, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils The Wisdom of the Axe-Head, a revelatory teaching on how wisdom restores spiritual sharpness, effectiveness, and joy in Christian labor. Drawing from the symbolism of the axe-head that fell into the Jordan, this message explains how believers can lose spiritual edge—not through sin alone, but through misalignment, fatigue, and neglect of divine order. Wisdom, not mere strength, is revealed as God’s defense system: the key that makes prayer, obedience, and holiness productive rather than burdensome. Pastor Olubi Johnson shows that true spiritual power is recovered when human nature is brought into the place of death to self, when prayer is restored as first love, and when believers follow God’s precise sequence—humility, honesty, character, revelation, and praying in the Spirit. He also exposes the danger of substituting physical activity for spiritual labor and explains how global outcomes are shaped by the accumulated prayers of the saints. This message calls believers back to communion, disciplined prayer, reverence for authority, and the pursuit of exact spiritual knowledge—so that wisdom may once again cause what has sunk to float, restoring authority, clarity, and effectiveness in perilous times.

In this prophetic message, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils the meaning of the Third Day—a recurring divine pattern in Scripture that marks seasons of decisive breakthrough, resurrection power, and visible manifestation. The Church is presented as standing at a critical transition point: moving from a long season of hidden preparation into a time of maturity, perfection, and public expression of Christ’s life. This message calls believers to urgent sanctification and readiness. Just as God instructed His people in past epochs to prepare themselves before His glory appeared, the Church is now summoned to “wash her garments”—to deal thoroughly with the flesh, compromise, and spiritual negligence. The Third Day is not a time for infancy, but for the Church to be raised to live fully in God’s sight, expressing the stature and fullness of Christ. Pastor Olubi Johnson also exposes present spiritual opposition against this transition, likened to a Haman-type strategy, and emphasizes fasting, prayer, and obedience as the pathway to divine favor and preservation. The mark of true maturity will not be words alone, but greater works, consistency in spiritual authority, and wisdom that validates Christ’s life within His people. Ultimately, this message presents the Third Day as the season when the Bride must put on her royal apparel—fully prepared, inwardly cleansed, and outwardly radiant—ready to stand before the King in manifested glory.
