Shiloh 2025: Day 4 – Hour of Visitation, Word Session 4: A Divine Emphasis on the Knowledge of Truth That Sets Free

Introduction to Shiloh 2025: Breaking New Grounds

Shiloh 2025, themed “Breaking New Grounds”, stands as a monumental annual prophetic gathering organized by Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel International), under the apostolic leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo. Held from December 9 to 13, 2025, at the expansive Faith Tabernacle in Canaanland, Ota, Nigeria, this event draws millions worldwide—both in-person and via live streams—to encounter the raw power of God’s Word. Shiloh is more than a conference; it’s a divine mandate for territorial conquest, where participants press into realms of supernatural breakthroughs, healings, deliverances, and destiny realignments.

The theme echoes Joshua 18:1, where the children of Israel gathered at Shiloh to inherit their portion: “And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them” (Joshua 18:1, KJV). This year, the focus is on shattering barriers, ushering in new eras of dominion, and activating the supernatural heritage of every believer.

Day 4, December 12, 2025, marked the crescendo of the Hour of Visitation segment—a sacred time dedicated to immersive Word sessions designed to provoke divine encounters. With over 100,000 attendees flooding the arena and millions tuning in globally, the atmosphere was electric with praise, expectancy, and unbridled faith. Bishop Oyedepo, the set man of this Commission, ministered in Word Session 4, delivering a life-altering message titled “Emphasis on the Knowledge of Truth That Sets Free.” Drawing from the eternal well of Scripture, he unpacked how the unadulterated truth of God’s Word is the ultimate liberator, dismantling chains of ignorance, deception, and stagnation. This session was not mere exposition; it was a prophetic detonation, igniting fresh fire for personal and generational transformations.

As the sun rose over Canaanland, the arena erupted in worship, with choirs leading a symphony of adoration that invited the Shekinah glory. Testimonies from previous days—ranging from terminal healings to business explosions—set the tone, reminding all that Shiloh is a “mountain of divine encounters” where the impossible bows to faith (Obadiah 17: “But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions,” KJV).

Bishop Oyedepo’s message pierced hearts, challenging believers to prioritize truth as the cornerstone of their “new grounds” breakthrough.

Contextualizing Day 4 Within Shiloh 2025: A Progressive Revelation

To fully appreciate Day 4’s profundity, it’s essential to trace the prophetic thread woven through the event. Shiloh 2025 unfolded as a five-day feast of the Word, each day building on the last to equip saints for supernatural living.

• Opening Night (Day 1, December 9): Bishop Oyedepo launched the series “Gateways to Commanding the Supernatural”, declaring that the supernatural is not an elite calling but the birthright of every redeemed child of God. Anchored in genuine new birth, he emphasized proofs like the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law,” KJV). Love emerged as the master key to breaking grounds, curing depression through joy, and securing peace where God fights battles.

• Day 2 – Hour of Visitation: The focus shifted to “Engaging the Supernatural Power of Love”, with Bishop Oyedepo revealing love as the common denominator of all virtues (1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,” KJV). He taught that Jesus’ simple solutions to complex problems stem from divine love, urging believers to retain spiritual strength through the “food” of God’s Word (Matthew 4:4: “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God,” KJV).

• Day 3 – Word Session: Building momentum, the message explored “Exploring the Wonders of Divine Wisdom” (Gateways Part 2), positioning wisdom as the ultimate ground-breaker. Training in the Kingdom was highlighted as a lifelong pursuit: “Every degree loses its validity if nothing is added after five years” (2 Timothy 2:15: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth,” KJV).

Day 4 elevated this progression by zeroing in on truth as the liberator, a fitting climax before the Thanksgiving Service. It aligned with the event’s intercessory prayers, where participants invoked vengeance on wicked forces and revival in the Body of Christ (Psalm 149:1-9, emphasizing praise as warfare).

The session’s timing—mid-morning, post-prayer hour—amplified its impact, as weary souls were refreshed by revelations that “set free” from mental, emotional, and spiritual captivities.

Full Sermon Compilation: Key Points from “Emphasis on the Knowledge of Truth That Sets Free”

Bishop Oyedepo’s delivery was a masterclass in prophetic teaching—fiery, scriptural, and practical. Clocking over two hours, the message dissected John 8:32 as its anchor: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (KJV). He proclaimed that ignorance is the devil’s primary weapon, but knowledge of truth is the believer’s nuclear arsenal for dominion. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the core revelations, interwoven with full Bible verses for deeper meditation:

1. The Foundation: Truth as the Divine Liberator

Bishop opened with a thunderous declaration: “Freedom is not found in rituals or emotions—it’s rooted in the knowledge of truth!” He explained that partial truth binds, but full revelation unleashes. This echoes the Shiloh theme, where “breaking new grounds” demands shedding lies for light.

• Full Verse: John 8:31-32 – “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

• Application: In a world of deception (economic lies, health myths, relational deceptions), believers must “continue” in the Word to access freedom. Bishop shared anecdotes from his 50+ years of ministry, where truth dismantled “impossible” situations, turning paupers into princes.

2. The Enemies of Truth: Ignorance and Deception

Drawing from Hosea, he warned that “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). Deception thrives in ignorance, but truth exposes it. He challenged the congregation: “If you’re still bound by fear or failure, it’s not God’s will—it’s a truth deficit!”

• Full Verse: Hosea 4:6 – “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

• Prophetic Insight: Bishop decreed that Day 4 would be a “truth explosion,” breaking yokes of poverty, sickness, and barrenness. He referenced past Shilohs where truth led to “supersonic testimonies,” like the 6-year barrenness terminated through Kingdom service (echoing Day 2’s love theme).

3. The Power Source: The Word as Living Truth

“The Bible isn’t a history book—it’s a now-word that sets free in real-time,” Bishop asserted. He urged daily immersion, likening it to spiritual nutrition. This ties to the supernatural gateways series, where truth fuels wisdom and love.

• Full Verse: Psalm 107:20 – “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

• Practical Steps:

• Meditate on Scripture morning and night (Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success,” KJV).
• Reject “fake news” from the enemy; affirm truth aloud.
• Train in truth to avoid doctrinal isolation—stay connected to the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 1:13: “Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?” KJV).

4. The Fruit of Truth: Breaking New Grounds in Every Sphere

Truth doesn’t just free—it propels. Bishop painted visions of career shifts, marital restorations, and global impacts, declaring: “Truth turns victims into victors!”

• Full Verse: Ephesians 3:10 – “To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.”

• Testimonies Integrated: He highlighted real-time miracles, like joblessness sieges lifted (Deuteronomy 28:43-45 reversed through obedience) and family reconciliations, mirroring pre-Shiloh encounters.

5. The Call to Action: From Hearers to Doers

Closing with urgency, Bishop invited rededication for those lacking fruits of new birth. “Claim to be born again? Let the proof show!” He transitioned seamlessly into altar calls, where thousands surged forward.

• Full Verse: James 1:22 – “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”

The session peaked in corporate worship, with the arena shaking under declarations of freedom. Bishop’s voice, amplified by 40+ years of unction, left an indelible mark: Truth isn’t optional—it’s the key to your new grounds.

Prayer Declarations: Igniting the Fire of Freedom

Integral to Bishop Oyedepo’s ministry is the release of prophetic prayers. Day 4 featured explosive declarations, drawn from intercessory guidelines and on-the-spot inspirations.
