A LIFE OF PURPOSE WITH GOD ;

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Being born again, even though you still have the same physical body, your spirit has been recreated in the likeness of Christ. This is what Jesus made possible for us: He gave us His life and nature of righteousness, having taken our place of sin and condemnation on the Cross. Now we have and live a life of purpose in the earth.

The moment you were born again, you were born into a life of purpose with God. You’re God’s outstretched hand of blessing to your world. It makes no difference what you were, prior to giving your heart to the Lord. It makes no difference that others may have thought you wouldn’t amount to anything in life. Today, you’re a prince of power with God.

Understand, acknowledge, and appreciate your new destiny in Christ.

We read in our opening verse that “…old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” You’ve been catapulted to a life of victory, success, prosperity, hope, and assurance. But that’s not all.

Through you, God wants to bring many others into the same blessed union and fellowship of the Spirit, so their lives can also have meaning and purpose with divinity.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I rejoice for your seal on me, designating me a child of divine destiny, living out and fulfilling your purpose in the earth. I live over and above the natural courses of life, the corruption, evil, and decadence prevalent in this world of darkness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HEAL LIKE JESUS DID ;

(Use God’s Word For Healing And Health);

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

TO THE BIBLE
Matthew 8:16 AMP C “When evening came, they brought to Him (Jesus) many who were under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick.”

LET’S TALK
Someone might be in a precarious health condition and gripe, “I’ve prayed about this sickness; I’ve cried; I’ve fasted, and nothing has changed; I don’t know what else to do!” Well, that’s because that one hasn’t acted on the Word. That’s what God expects of that person. When he or she acts on the Word, things change. There’s reality in the Word of God that’s beyond science and the senses. For example, when the world says an ailment is incurable, that limitation doesn’t include us, because when we lay our hands on the sick, they’re healed, irrespective of the condition.

We can heal all manner of sickness and disease with the Word. When we speak the Word, diseases dematerialise. It’s like what happened with Jesus in Bible days; they brought to Him many that were possessed with devils, and He cast out the spirits with His Word, and healed all that were sick. Notice that He did it with His Word. When He said, “Receive your sight,” the man that was born blind began to see. When He said, “Rise up and walk,” at His Word, the lame got up, walking and running. His Word restored even those that had their limbs amputated! There’s something about the Word of God!

Even as you read this, it’s possible you might have been diagnosed with cancer in your body: All you need do is, speak the Word! Therefore, call its name and say, “I command you to die in the Name of Jesus.” Say, “In the Name of Jesus, I cut you out!” It doesn’t matter what condition it is; perhaps it’s lameness, blindness, or some other disability; the power of God is available in His Word. Use the Word against it. No sickness can thrive in your body because of the impact of the divine life on your physical body. Hallelujah!

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, TUESDAY 10 SEPTEMBER, 2019;

THEME: YOUR WORDS AND YOUR LIFE;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37).

Words possess creative energy. Words are things; they have substance and never die. Jesus showed us how to use words. In every miracle He did, in every blessing He imparted, He used words. He spoke, and whatever He said came into existence.

He taught that the most powerful force in life is the force of words and cautioned us not to speak empty, inoperative words (Matthew 12:36). He said in John 6:63, “…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The same goes for your words; they’re eternal.

Read Romans 10:9 and see the power of words with respect to salvation: “…if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” A man will only go to hell or to heaven on the basis of his words. If he spoke the words that God said we should speak for salvation, he’d be saved. But if he didn’t, he’d be damned. It’s that simple.

There’re blessings untold for the one who’s born again, but to enjoy them, you must acknowledge and speak them forth. 1 Peter 3:10 says anyone who wants to enjoy life and see good days must speak wholesomely. Where you are today in life is a reflection of what you’ve been saying all your life.

Therefore, build your life with the right words. Speak words that are consistent with the glorious life of righteousness, peace, health, wealth and joy that you have in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER
Thank you, Father, for giving me an extraordinary life of righteousness, peace, success and dominion. I’m indestructible, and in the ageless zone by virtue of your life and glory in me. Your graces, wisdom, and righteousness are revealed in me today, in all I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HIS PEACE CALMS ALL STORMS ;

(Jesus Conquered The World And Gave You Peace Within)

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

TO THE BIBLE;

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

LET’S TALK

Today’s world is looking for peace in the strangest of places; it’s trying to do everything to have peace, but the more it tries, the more it eludes it. The Bible says, “When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3 AMPC). This is the dilemma that the people of the world are in today.

However, Jesus has given us His Word and told us in John 16:33 MSG, “I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world, you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” He overcame the world and gave us the victory over the world. He actually conquered the world, and when He was through, He gave us peace.

He said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you...” (John 14:27); in other words, “I’ve given you the peace that the world can’t give.” The peace that you have in your spirit is the peace of Jesus Christ that surpasses understanding.

Circumstances may not look right; everything looks like there’s trouble, yet the inexplicable and indescribable peace of God garrisons your heart and mind! The world can’t understand how come you’re so much at peace in the midst of crises. That’s the peace that Jesus gives; it gives you power over crises and it beats the understanding of the one without Christ!

Go Deeper
John 16:33; 2 Corinthians 13:11
Speak

I have peace in my spirit! I testify that I’m at peace in every situation, for Christ is my peace; therefore, I live and walk in peace, every day of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE ALONE REIGNS;

(Jesus Christ Is The Reigning King) ;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

TO THE BIBLE

1 Corinthians 15:25 AMP C “For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet.”

LET’S TALK
“What’s the new dance I saw you doing yesterday,” Pamela asked her friend, Alicia. “Oh, do you mean this one…,” Alicia answering, as she demonstrates the dance, …its the new reigning dance. Hmmm, it looks nice but Jesus Christ is the only reigning One I know.

Most times when certain things are trendy and fashionable, such as hairstyles, clothes, shoes, phones, or dance steps, for example, many make comments like, This is the reigning thing. What they’re trying to say is, This is the vogue of the moment. I always interject when anyone makes such a statement around me because the only One whos reigning is Christ Jesus, and I’m reigning with Him. Notice what our opening verse says: For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet.

He’s the reigning King, and youre reigning with Him (Romans 5:17). As a child of God, you live in His spiritual kingdom where Jesus reigns (Colossians 1:13). You, therefore, shouldn’t accept that anything else but the Lord is reigning. He’s the only King, and we only recognize His eternal Kingdom to which we belong.

He must reign over demons, devils, hell, and the grave. He must reign over sickness, disease, and infirmities. He must reign over them until they’re all subdued, and have no more voice or way to express themselves.

As long as any kind of sickness can express itself in your body, it’s against your reign. So what do you do in such a condition? Don’t keep quiet. Refuse to accommodate sickness in the Name of Jesus. That’s how to make Gods Word reign in your life. Reject everything that’s not of God and endorse only that which is consistent with His perfect will for you.

ONE NAME FOR GOD.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

It’s possible to know God with a limited revelation, and a lot of people are that way. They have a very myopic view of who God is. But you see, you can’t live beyond the revelation of God that you have. In the Old Testament, God revealed Himself in several names. He said to Moses, “I am the LORD; I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of El-Shaddai, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them” (Exodus 6:2-3).

However, in the New Testament, He revealed Himself in the Name, Jesus! The Bible says the totality of divinity resides in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:9). So, the Name of God in the New Testament is Jesus. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commanded His disciples to baptize the people in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. In carrying out that divine instruction, they baptized people in the Name of Jesus.

Read the Book of Acts; the Apostles understood that the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is Jesus; that’s the Name for the Godhead. The Father responds in that Name; the Holy Spirit answers to the name as well.

The Psalmist declared, “…for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name” (Psalm 138:2). We read in our opening verse that the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. That’s Jesus! Philippians 2:9 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.”

If the Name of Jesus is higher than every other name, then it’s obvious that’s the Name of God Himself. He couldn’t have a name that’s lesser than the Name of Jesus.

This is the Name that’s been given to us to live by. All power, dominion, glory, and majesty is vested in that Name. Heal the sick, cast out devils, raise the dead, and work wonders in that Name. It’s got all of heaven’s authority behind it. Glory to God!

CONFESSION
God has highly exalted Him and given Him a Name that’s above every name, that at the Name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. I live in, and by, the Name of Jesus, and I rule and dominate my world by the power of that Name. Glory of God!

FURTHER STUDY: || Matthew 28:18-19 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:||

||Ephesians 1:19-23 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places], 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.||

||Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; 11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.||

THEME: THE PURITY OF THE SPIRIT.

Sunday, September 8th, 2019;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

And for their sakes, I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth (John 17:19).

There are Christians who don’t have the reverential fear of God; they think they’re at liberty to live the way they choose. But that’s dangerous. There’s a way of life that’s not right for a Christian, and if you’re going to fulfill the purpose of God for your life, then you’ve got to have purity of heart; you must live according to your nature of righteousness and true holiness in Christ.

In Joshua 3:5, we read something striking that Joshua said to the children of Israel. He said, “…Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.” Joshua understood the power of sanctification; the power of separating yourself from the wrong things; the power of purifying your mind and your life.

You’re God’s vessel, sanctified to be in fellowship with Him through the Holy Spirit. Don’t jeopardize that communion because of a bad attitude or worldly lifestyle. 2 Corinthians 13:5 says, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves….” Use the Word to purge and examine yourself always. 2 Timothy 2:21 says, “If a man, therefore, purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”

Do you want to continually experience the supernatural in your life? Then, keep yourself in the purity of the Spirit; don’t live the wrong life. Don’t get yourself entangled with the things of this world, for the Bible says, “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life…” (2 Timothy 2:4).
You were separated from the World through the Gospel, but you’ve got to take the world out of you, through the sanctification of your mind and soul. This happens as you yield to the authority and lordship of the Word, and guidance of the Holy Spirit in your life. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I’m sanctified, set apart, for God’s use. I’m continually transformed by the renewing of my mind, in the image of Christ. I stay on the path of purity, yielded to the Word, and the authority and guidance of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: || 2 Timothy 2:21-22 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, [and] prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. ||

|| 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, ||

|| Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ||

YOU’RE BRIGHT AS DAYLIGHT;

(We’re Children Of Light!)

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

📖 TO THE BIBLE
Ephesians 5:8 AMP C “For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [lead the lives of those native-born to the Light].”

◀️ LET’S TALK
The sun and the moon have a wonderful relationship. The moon isn’t a light; its a very black substance, and yet it reflects the light it gets from the sun. So sometimes, we say we’re like the moon, while Jesus gives us light to reflect. This is a powerful idea, but it’s not the best. God doesn’t regard us as the moon that reflects the light of the sun. Yes, the Bible says Jesus Christ is the Sun of righteousness (Malachi 4:2), but who are we?

You will find the answer in 1 Thessalonians 5:5, For ye, are all children of the light, and children of the day; and are not children of the night, and children of darkness (JMNT). A dog will only give birth to a dog, just as a human can only give birth to a human. God is Light, and having begotten us through the Gospel, were lights just as Jesus is the Light of the world. Jesus never told us to reflect His Light; instead, He said, You are the light of the world… (Matthew 5:14).

Were the children of light and the children of the day, not of the night, nor of darkness. Light is that which makes manifest (Ephesians 5:13); it illuminates so that you can see. That’s our calling in this life, to bring illumination to the world. We’re of the day, and we give light for others to reflect because we’re illuminators. Hallelujah!

Matthew 5:14-16; Philippians 2:15

GIVE ME YOUR CARES!;

(The Lord Jesus Wants You Free Of Worries And Concerns);

TO THE BIBLE 1 Peter 5:7 AMPC
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

LET’S TALK

What a remarkable scripture! You don’t have to worry over anything in life. Roll all your cares over to Him. You and God can’t be “caring” about the same things, at the same time. If you’re going to be fretful and anxious, He can’t intervene, because your worries will stop His power from flowing your way. Refuse to care! Confess the Word and say, “I refuse to be anxious over anything. However, in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I make my request known unto God; therefore, His peace that surpasses all understanding garrisons my heart and mind in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

Perhaps you have a loved one who might be in danger. Instead of crying out in fear, “Oh God, I don’t know what’s happening…”; say, “Father, I thank you because I know that you care! You’re in charge; therefore, my loved one is protected.” Confess that God cares! Be conscious that He cares. Jesus Christ was so conscious of the Father; He spoke of Him all the time.
I have that consciousness! He says, “I will not leave you fatherless” (John 14:18), and He sent the Holy Spirit to take care of us, because He cares.

We’re not fatherless. There’s someone who cares for you; He’s your heavenly Father. He cares about every detail of your life; He cares about everything that pertains to you. He perfects all that concerns you, and you’re important to Him; He knows your name. No matter the situation, get into your closet, shut the world out, and lift your hands and say, “I have a Father, the Almighty; He’s King of kings and Lord of Lords, and He cares for me.”
You’re not alone; greater is He that’s in you than all the troubles in the world.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH,2019;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD. D.Sc. D.D

TELL THE STORY;

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19).
Years ago, sitting in church as a kid, I watched a drama piece being performed by the drama group. I was particularly enthralled by the last act. As the actors walked off the stage, the young boy who acted the preacher’s role picked up the song: “Christ is coming, the King of glory; no more sorrow; no more weeping; tell the story among the nations; Christ is coming by and by.”

The song hit me, and tears began to stream down my face. I left that service singing that song in my heart repeatedly. I felt like the song was talking to me. Though I was quite young, it created a burden in my heart. Every so often, I’d pray, “Lord, I’ll tell the story among the nations.” Now, what’s the story?

The story isn’t that Christ is coming but that He came once before. The Bible talks about His second coming, but He already came and went back to heaven, and many aren’t aware yet.

As I read the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—I found they were all telling the story. It’s the story of Jesus; His origin, His birth, His life on earth, His death, His resurrection, and ascension. The Book of Matthew has a theme: it’s mainly about Jesus, King of Israel.
Mark takes it a bit further, showing us this Jesus is the Christ. Luke tells us He was God’s answer; and John sees Him as the Word and tells from the beginning, the story of the One who made all things, and pre-existed the beginning. It’s the story of the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.

John and the rest of the Apostles have gone to heaven, having told the story of the Son of God. Now, we must tell it, and keep telling the same story. We must remain dauntless in proclaiming His undying love for humanity, as we usher men into the glory of His divine presence and love. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the salvation of men, and for trusting me with the message of reconciliation. Your Word in my heart is as a burning fire shut up in my bones. I take my place in the end-time army, as a bearer of divine truths to my world. Through me, many are turned from darkness to light, and brought into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
