[Sermon]: Understanding the Pathways to Godliness ( 4) – Bishop David Oyedepo

Topic: Understanding the Pathways to Godliness ( 4)

Text:  Isa. 59:8

There is no access to eternity without godliness.

You flow in revelations when the fear of God is in you.

There is nothing mystical about the supernatural; it is simply a product of the Word you believe and obey.

Don't explain away what destroys, change your stand instead.
