The Wisdom of the Axe Head (2)

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.

The Spiritual Significance Of The Third Day (2)

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.

2025 Crossover Service

In this message, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils a prophetic framework for the season the Church has entered—a transition from the third millennium from the birth of our Lord Jesus to the third millennium from His maturity. This shift is marked by the manifestation of the sons of God and the release of the Spirit without measure, calling the Church into maturity, perfection, and alignment with God’s will.

 

Using the life of David as a prophetic template, the message contrasts Saul-type leadership—rooted in partial obedience and the flesh—with Davidic leadership, which is after God’s heart and capable of leading God’s people into fullness. God’s purpose is clear: leadership that cannot walk in obedience and maturity must give way to leadership that can bring the Church into her ordained destiny.

 

Ziklag is revealed as the hidden place where kings are prepared—the present path of life for believers who choose consistent watching and praying. It is the season where God trains His people to reign first over sin and the flesh, before reigning in life through righteousness. In Ziklag, believers learn to encourage themselves in the Lord, depend on the Holy Spirit as their present Helper, and recover everything stolen by the sin nature and the powers of darkness.

 

As believers faithfully walk this path, God simultaneously restores what was lost and judges the house of Saul, effecting a divine transition from rule by the flesh to rule by the Spirit. This process requires patience, humility, and freedom from a spirit that rejoices in another’s downfall—because God weighs the heart.

 

The journey does not end in Ziklag. Hebron is the place where kings are revealed, and Zion is the place of the fullness of the anointing. These stages cannot be skipped. As we step into a new year, this message calls believers to embrace their Ziklag training, overcome their Amalekite battles, and move steadily toward their Davidic destiny—from preparation to public affirmation, and from testing to enthronement.

Christmas Service: Christ Born In Our Flesh

In this Christmas message, Pastor Olubi Johnson presents a sobering and prophetic call to the Body of Christ, unveiling the deeper meaning of Christ being born in our flesh—not merely as a historical event, but as a present spiritual reality that must be formed and matured in believers.

 

The teaching situates the Church in a critical “midnight” season, a transitional hour where God is awakening His people from spiritual slumber in preparation for the manifestation of His glory. This is not a time for spiritual complacency or borrowed convictions, but for alertness, humility, and precision in the knowledge of God’s Word. Deception is subtle in this hour, and only those grounded in revelation and obedience will remain steady.

 

Pastor Olubi emphasizes that while the exact timing of Christ’s return remains unknown, believers are responsible for discerning times and seasons. Certain prophetic obligations—described as spiritual “debts”—must be fulfilled, including intensified prayer, participation in Christ’s sufferings, and the full outworking of prophetic patterns in Scripture. These are not optional for the end-time Church.

 

Central to the message is the parable of the ten virgins. Here, “oil in the lamp” represents the life of God in the spirit, while “oil in the vessel” points to that same divine life saturating the physical body. Wise believers are those who, through sustained prayer, self-denial, and praying in the Spirit, have allowed the life of God to flow from their spirit into their mortal flesh—making them spiritually resilient and prepared.

 

This message also underscores personal spiritual responsibility. No one can borrow oil, intimacy, or consecration. Each believer must “buy for themselves” through consistent fellowship with God. Christ being born in our flesh requires more than the new birth—it demands travail, obedience, and cooperation with the Holy Spirit until sonship is fully expressed.

 

Ultimately, the call is to unreserved consecration—a “Mary-kind” response that welcomes the Holy Spirit without negotiation. This is the pathway to spiritual invincibility, where believers walk in the path of life, untouched by the wicked one, and ready to host the glory of God when it is revealed.

Keeping & Fulfilling God’s Testimonies - John (8)

This message by Pastor Olubi Johnson, centered on the life, writings, and revelations of the Apostle John, lays out a clear spiritual roadmap for the end-time Church to manifest the fullness of Christ.

 

Pastor Olubi explains that the Church is presently in a prophetic “night divine”—a midnight transition marked by a call to awaken from spiritual slumber. This season is not merely about waiting for Christ’s return, but about allowing Christ to be born and formed in our flesh through perfection, obedience, and perfected love. The return of Christ is unfolded in three dimensions: Christ in the Church, Christ for the Church, and Christ with the Church, revealing that maturity precedes rapture.

 

The message highlights a divine progression: Paul establishes the doctrinal and revelational foundation, John provides the practical pathway of intimacy, love, and obedience, and Jesus is the ultimate destination—the full expression of God. John is presented as the pattern disciple, one who walked in perfect love, lived above sin, and demonstrated a “zero sin rate,” where the wicked one could not touch him.

 

A major emphasis is placed on the believer’s internal witness of the Spirit—the New Testament “Urim and Thummim”—by which guidance, direction, and confirmation are received. As believers prioritize first love, daily fellowship, and the keeping of God’s commandments, they grow into a state of fullness, marked by the Spirit without measure, tangible authority, and undeniable power.

 

Pastor Olubi also provides sobering insight into the coming tribulation, urging believers to watch and pray always, making daily spiritual investments that prepare them to escape the darkness ahead. The message culminates in the hope of the Millennial reign and the new heaven and new earth, where faithful saints reign with Christ according to their obedience and love demonstrated in this life.

 

This message is both a warning and an invitation: a call to move beyond activity, gifts, and outward success into intimacy, perfection, and mature sonship, following the pattern of John until Christ is fully revealed in us.

Keeping & Fulfilling God’s Testimonies - John (6)

In this message, Pastor Olubi Johnson unveils the apostle John as the perfect disciple, just as Paul is the pattern apostle. While Paul models apostolic doctrine, revelation, and the perfection of the Church, John reveals the higher pathway of discipleship—intimacy, love, obedience, and closeness to the heart of Jesus. To grow beyond merely being born again and into true maturity, believers must study and live the revelations contained in John’s short but power-packed epistles.

 

John’s authority is rooted in experience, not theory. He did not merely hear about Christ—he heard, saw, handled, and lived with the Word of Life. Through this firsthand encounter, it dawned on John that the Man they ate and slept beside was in fact the Creator of heaven and earth, walking humbly among His creation. Jesus’ quiet humility—operating as a man while being God—sets the ultimate pattern for every believer who desires perfection.

 

This message confronts the error of reducing Jesus to the level of other prophets or religious figures. Christ is not merely faithful in the house like Moses—He is the Builder of the house. His miracles, from raising the dead to feeding multitudes, were not displays of theatrics but revelations of divine identity, gradually opening the disciples’ eyes to who He truly was.

 

At the heart of John’s message is perfect love. The goal of the Christian life is not power without character, but the perfection of God’s love, which is attained by consistently keeping His Word. Jesus’ new commandment—to love one another as He loved us—calls believers to a divine standard of love governed by wisdom, truth, and obedience, not sentiment alone.

 

As this love is perfected, fear is expelled, and believers gain boldness before God—knowing they have passed the test of obedience on earth. This maturity prepares the Church for the coming manifestation of the sons of God, where divine wisdom, character, and consistent supernatural power will be revealed to a world that currently does not recognize who believers truly are.

 

The message also issues a sober balance: prosperity and health must never exceed the prosperity of the soul. Without humility, revelation knowledge, and spiritual fruit, material increase becomes dangerous. True sonship is revealed when love, wisdom, power, and obedience walk together—just as they did in Christ, and just as John modeled for us.
