The 12 Pillars of this Commission

God commissioned the Presiding Bishop, Dr. David Oyedepo with a Word of Faith ministry to this generation. Remember Paul said, “…if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (1 Cor 14:8) By the help of the Holy Ghost I have classified the Word of Faith He has committed into my hands into the specific areas of emphasis, in direct response to Isaiah 40:6, “The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?”

This commission worldwide has stood firm upon the twelve stones below and they have resulted in breakthroughs – both for the ministry and all that are partakers of the same grace with us.
