Fulfiling Your Days by David O. Oyedepo

Introduction
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:18
O death, w]here is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1 Corinthians 15:55
Are you ready to live? Do you want to fulfil your days? I am sure God asked me to write this book because of you. Know that you can fulfil your days!
Let me begin by telling you this: I am sent! I am sent to do what I am doing. After an 18-hour vision, God said to me in a very plain language: "The hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil, through the preaching of the Word of faith; and I am sending you to undertake this task."
Death is definitely one of the oppressions of the devil. I am sent to declare total war against the harassment of death in your life, Family and environment. Death is an enemy and so must be confronted and subdued.
I went before the Lord in October 1997, to hear from Him what 1998 held for our ministry; and He told me two things. He said I should hold a seminar on fruitfulness in February, and another one in April, on War Over Death! He went on to say, "It is finished! Death is swallowed up in victory!"
If you will receive the truth contained in this book, and believe it, no devil can stop you from enjoying covenant longevity. God is giving you a unique opportunity to receive the truth on the defeat of death and covenant longevity, so you will not only believe it, but also enjoy it.
Long life is not a special offer, it is a general covenant right. It is not a gift, but a choice! What joy it would be for you to reach the age of 120, and see your children's children!
Victory over death is an unusual and often avoided subject in the Christian faith. No wonder it is where we have recorded the most devastating defeat. But very early in ministry, God gave me a privileged insight into the subject. I held my first seminar on Power Over Death in 1984. Death reacted initially, but it was subdued, because the Scriptures cannot be broken.
Before the Church started hearing God's Word on divine healing, everyone in the Church was a natural victim of disease. In those days at fellowship meetings, we always took prayer requests for "Brother this" or "Brother that", who was sick or who had just returned from the hospital. We were always praying for sick people, asking and thanking God for the lessons He had taught them through sickness. (Since they couldn't learn it when they were well, perhaps they'd know it better in sickness.)
Similarly, until we began to hear teachings on prosperity, everyone in Church was wallowing in poverty. Poverty was the identity of the Church, so much so that the mundane proverbial simile, "As poor as church rat" was coined from the image of the Church. To the world, everybody in the Church was a "rat", which has no possession of any kind.
But suddenly, the light of God's Word began to dawn on the people and they began to walk their way out of poverty into plenty! This is the same way I see the Church walking out of every harassment of death, into life more abundantly! If you had been appointed to death, every such appointment is disappointed now, in Jesus' precious name!
Nothing shatters darkness like light. As the word of light from this book gains entrance into your heart, your dominion over the darkness of death will be established.
Death was swallowed up in victory about 2,000 years ago. All you need to walk in that victory now is enlightenment. Didn't God say, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge"? I see God bring you into the realm of knowledge, where you will be free from the harassment of the enemy. God has marked you out to live, you shall not die, in Jesus' name!
Death is not a friend; it is an enemy! This book will expose the strategies of that enemy, so you can deal with it. The Bible says we're not unaware of the devil's devices, lest he should take advantage of us.
Long life is your covenant right. All you need is an understanding of its terms. When that happens, then you're set to enjoy all its benefits. God is not a man that He should lie (Num. 23:19). If He says we have victory over death, then that is what we have. By the time we are through exploring the depths of this truth, the same God who brought Jesus out of the grave, will bring you out of every grave!
Our security is in the secrets of God. Every kingdom secret guarantees earthly security. Every light from heaven shatters darkness on the earth. So, when you locate the light on divine healing, it will shatter the darkness of sickness. Rev. Kenneth Hagin, now over 80 years old, said that for over 61 years, he doesn't know what headache feels like. And in 1996, he dedicated his fourth generation child! Light will always make the difference anywhere.
You are not created to die like men, nor were you born to fall like one of the princes. You're different from other people. You are "a peculiar people."
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Psalm 82:5
When you know and understand, you become outstanding. All that you will encounter in this book will help you understand covenant longevity. It is not a thing you should be looking for, it's yours already. It is already packaged for you in redemption. But there is what to do and how to live, to enjoy it. You'll get to know all that in this book. You will not miss it, in Jesus' name.
