YOU CAN FREE YOURSELF;

Friday, April 3rd, 2020;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you (John 15:3).

There’s a strong connection between bad habits and demonic influence; and frankly, they flow into each other. The human person is a spirit, and so, if he has a habit, it’s a spiritual habit. Habits are formed from repetition of actions. There’re good habits and there’re bad habits. If you practise good actions, they result in good habits; if you practise bad actions, they result in bad habits.

Satan often takes the opportunity of bad habits to manipulate people. However, he can’t force his will upon anyone ordinarily; rather, it’s about man yielding himself to the devil or refusing to do so. If he yields himself to the devil, then the devil takes advantage of him. Most people yield themselves without realizing they’re doing it. Hence, walking in the spirit and the knowledge of the Word is vital to a victorious Christian life.

In our opening scripture, Jesus said, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” This means the Word of God is a cleanser; it purifies you. If you take the Word of God and meditate on it, it’ll rid you of anything that’s unwholesome or unclean. It’ll eradicate the darkness from your life.

Once, I was ministering to a lady, and rebuking the devil from her, and there was a young man standing behind me among those who were watching. When I was done, he got my attention and said, “Pastor, I used to have the same problem that you just dealt with in that lady. I had those same evil spirits in me.” I said, “So what happened?” He said, “Through meditation on God’s Word, they all left me.” That’s the power of God’s Word!

You don’t need to have deliverance services to cast out devils from Christians; teach them the Word. The Christian is superior to Satan; he’s seated with Christ, far above principality and power. So, if you’ve been under some demonic attacks or influence, if you’d consciously meditate on God’s Word, you’ll free yourself. You can say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I break the influence of Satan and evil spirits over my life and my actions and refuse to yield to their sway henceforth!”

CONFESSION

I walk in perfection and excellence, producing works and fruits of righteousness, because I live in the Word. The Word of God has the ascendancy in my life and purifies me through and through—spirit, soul and body. I’m sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life, who causes me to walk in God’s perfect will and in the glory of God. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: || John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ||

|| Galatians 5:1 RSV For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. ||

|| Psalm 119:9 AMPC How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed and keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to it]. ||

Antichrist means two things:

1. Anti-Christ, meaning against Christ
2. Instead of Christ or in place of Christ

Global Day of Prayer Day 3
30 March 2020*

*Pastor Chris Teaching*

We are dealing with the nearness of the coming of the Lord, and it’s important that we understand this. There is a lot of ignorance in the church today about the coming of the Lord. People are not conscious about this. Having doubts about this? You don’t need to look far. As a Christian, it’s important that you prepare yourself for the coming of the Lord. We are very close.

The future of the nations is spoken of in the bible. What is currently happening is not a surprise. It’s important to know what the future holds for whatever country you may be living in. It’s time to take Christianity seriously. What’s happening now is one of the signs of the coming of the Lord.

*1 John 2:18 KJV*
*Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.*

Antichrist means two things:

1. Anti-Christ, meaning against Christ
2. Instead of Christ or in place of Christ

In the writings of John the Apostle, particularly the Book of Revelation, you will begin to see the manifestations of the antichrist. Remember, he is a person. When you study the books of Daniel and Ezekiel, the Word tells us about this man and what he would do. There are various descriptions about him (a horn, etc). The spirit that works with him has been here before. The things he does are not entirely new.

Examples are: the government, economy and religion. Those are the things the antichrist will use to control the world. This is not something new. Think about this: when you look at history, you will see the kind of power people we have voted for have. In the bible, we see that nations will give the antichrist their authority, just like citizens give to someone they vote for to make him or her a president.

Furthermore, we see from scriptures that Satan will give that same antichrist power too. Nations will submit themselves to the antichrist. Have you every thought it would come to a point where streets are clean like they are now? If you go through history, this is something that has been happening over and over again. When such things happened, friends metamorphosed into enemies. Social distancing? Well, it has been there before, it just has a new reason, which is “so you don’t infect others.” There is always a name for enemies.

These things are not new, they are just happening at different levels. There has been a lot of evil and killings before. The difference might be that there were visible people who were responsible before, but now it is an invisible person behind the killing now. Although the killer is invisible, there are various key players now. Thank God we know how to deal with these kind of situations.

We don’t have to be bothered about the antichrist because he cannot show up now. Why not now? Because it’s not his time. Although it’s not his time, Satan would still like to have the antichrist show up now. He would definitely like to see these things happen now. Regardless of his efforts, they will still fail now because it’s not his time.

There are forefronts to what the enemy is planning. Look at what’s happening now. The world has never had an opportunity to bring in negative policies like now. We know how to deal with these kind of issues. When we pray, things happpen.

*Daniel 9:24 KJV*
*Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.*

When is Jesus coming back? At the end of the church age, which is 2000 years. Something to keep in mind: 1 week is 7 years because it has 7 days, and each day (in this case) is 1 year.

*Ezekiel 37:11-14 KJV*
*Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord , when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.*

*Hosea 6:1-2 KJV*
*Come, and let us return unto the Lord : for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord : his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.*

*James 5:7 KJV*
*Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.*

Jesus is coming back after 2 days, which is 2000 years from the day he ascended, and on the 3rd day, with is 3000th year, He is coming to reign on earth, and we will be with Him. So we are within the 2000 years, and we are living at the tail end or last days of the 2000 years.

*2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 KJV*
*Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.*

One of the titles of the antichrist is son of perdition. Now, the antichrist cannot show up now because it’s not his time. The power fire of Christians is just too much.

*1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 KJV*
*Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.*

*1 Corinthians 15:51-56 KJV*
*Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.*

In a twinkling of an eye, we will disappear. That’s how fast it will be. Until we go, there won’t be one world religion, government, etc. Until we leave, the antichrist won’t show up.

*John 16:33 KJV*
*These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.*

He overcame the world for us. No matter what the situation is, when we pray, we prevail over things and make changes.

*1 John 4:1-4 KJV*
*Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.*

No matter what happens in this world, no matter what they plan in this world, the one in us is greater. We are reigning in the earth. We are reigning in the 2000 years that has been given to us *(Romans 5:17).* The only time the antichrist will have power over the Saints of God is when we have left and other Christians have stayed behind. This is the only time the antichrist and the power of the world will dominate Christians. You need to get this right (catch the first flight).

Herald ordered the head of James, and it made the people happy. Now that it pleased, he went for Peter. Guess what?! The church began to pray, and they prayed without ceasing. When Peter was in prison, with the presence of the angel, Peter was released. Doors would just open and his chains fell off. Prayer works.

A lot of Christians suffer because they don’t pray. When we pray, there’s nothing that we can’t do. We ride over whatever plans are put in place. We are not in this world as victims. Power belongs to God. We have the greater one living inside us. Learn to pray. Understand something: the world belongs to us. Have no fear.

*Ephesians 6:10-12 KJV*
*Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.*

When you’re on top, you never worry about who is troubling you. A cat never worries about which rat is causing problems. We are not afraid of the devil and demons of darkness. We have more power than the power that Satan gave the antichrist. We are in charge. No one restricts us. We have the ability to cancel any policy we don’t like.

By the power of the living Christ, we reign over the forces of darkness. We have frustrated the advancement of the forces of darkness. Nothing can restrict the preaching of the gospel. We are the seed of Abraham, therefore, the nations of the world belong to us.

WE ARE IN CHARGE AND ON TOP.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!
God bless you

PRAYING FOR LOST SOULS

Wednesday, April 1st,2020;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

From the scripture above, it’s clear that it’s Satan that has blinded the eyes of those who haven’t believed the Gospel. But Satan and all demons are subject to you in Jesus’ Name; no exception. We have complete authority over them.

But some people have asked, “How about the words of Jesus when they asked him why they couldn’t cast a certain demon out; Jesus replied, “Howbeit, this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting”” (Matthew 17:21). First, notice that Jesus didn’t say it wasn’t possible for them to cast the devil out. Moreover, that was before the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus. Having spoiled all principality and power in this, it doesn’t require praying and fasting for you to cast any of them out now. The authority has been given to us (Colossians 2:15; Matthew 28:18-19).

When you have a friend or loved one whom you’ve discerned is being held in bondage by Satan from receiving the Gospel, cast the devil out. You say, “I break the power of the devil over his mind, over his life, and I claim his salvation and call it done, in Jesus’ Name! I decree that he’d come to the Lord! I release ministering spirits to go forth and guide his path unto salvation, and it shall be so, in the Name of the Lord Jesus!”

However, after making those declarations, continue to intercede, because there’s also the part of the person’s own will to serve God. Even after Satan’s influence is broken, it’s up to an individual to make up his mind to serve the Lord. The part that involves the individual’s will requires persistent intercession. If you’re going to influence a man’s will, you can’t just do it by the prayer of faith; it has to be by the prayer of intercession.

KNOW WHO YOU ARE .

Tuesday, March 31st,2020;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course (Psalm 82:5).

Many who are victims in life are actually not victims of the devil but of ignorance. In Hosea 4:6, God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….” He didn’t say His people are destroyed by the devil.

Think about it: what would you do or how would you live if you discovered that no sickness could actually fasten itself to your body? If you found out that you have a life that’s incapable of failure, a life that can’t be defeated or destroyed; how would that affect your mentality? It’ll most certainly change your appreciation of yourself. These were my discoveries in the Word of God many years ago. But many aren’t acquainted with these truths, and as a result, they measure their lives on the basis of the flesh; what they perceive with their natural senses.

Your life is based on the information that you have. Your standard of life is limited to your knowledge. No one ever lived beyond the level of his knowledge. If you have the knowledge of God’s Word, it’ll make the difference in your life. Our theme verse says, “They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness….” This is the reason some of God’s children are suffering and struggling in life. They don’t know who the new creation really is.

When the reality of the Word and who you are in Christ dawns on you, you suddenly come to a place of absolute confidence and independence, where you realize that the world doesn’t determine what happens with you. You become like Jesus, who had no sense of need. That’s the life He came to give us; and as you study and meditate on the Word, not only do you discover your inheritance in Christ, you also receive the faith to relate with, and enjoy all that God has made available to you in Him. Glory to His Name forever!

CONFESSION

My heart is flooded with knowledge and spiritual understanding. I know who I am; an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. I know what belongs to me in Christ. I live above lack, sickness, disease, defeat and all the rudiments of this world. My life is upward and forward only, from glory to glory, from faith to faith, and from grace to grace! Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: || 2 Peter 1:2-3 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: ||

|| 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ||

THE WORD IN YOUR SPIRIT.

Monday, March 30th,2020;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17).

2 Corinthians 10:3 says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.” We’re not into a physical battle; it’s spiritual, and our weapon is the Word of God; the sword of the Spirit. As you release God’s Word—the rhema of God—you’re getting on the offensive in the realm of the spirit; power is released that shatters the enemy. This is the reason for meditation.

God’s Word is powerful in your mouth, after meditation—voracious meditation. During this kind of meditation, your whole attention is on the Word; you allow no distraction whatsoever. This is what makes the difference between someone that’s quoting scriptures from the head and someone that’s quoting scriptures because it has become resident inside him. This was what distinguished David from the rest of the Israelites. They were all circumcised and knew about the covenant, but they trembled before Goliath. None of them could face the giant.

But when David showed up, he wondered why everybody was afraid of Goliath and said, “…who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” (1 Samuel 17:26). He was saying, “We’re circumcised, and by circumcision, we’re in league with God. But this guy is uncircumcised; he doesn’t have God on his side!” The circumcision meant something to David that others didn’t know about.

That’s what happens when the Word is in your spirit. Jesus said out of your belly shall flow rivers— gushers, floods—of living water (John 7:38). Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….” Become voracious in your study of, and meditation on the Word. Have the Word in your heart and in your mouth; it’ll make you a wonder and give you the winning mentality. Praise God!

CONFESSION

From my innermost being flow gushers of living water. As I meditate and receive the Word gladly into my spirit, it brings forth righteousness, wisdom and revelation, prosperity, victory and abundance. Praise God!

FURTHER STUDY: || 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. ||

|| 1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. ||

SOAK IN GOD’S MINDSET
(God Is A Spirit, And He Thinks Differently)

👤 Pastor Chris

📖 TO THE BIBLE
Isaiah 55:9 NIV “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

◀️ LET’S TALK
This Scripture clearly reveals to us that God doesn’t think like people do. He doesn’t see the way people see or hear like they hear. He thinks differently. His Word or instructions to you may not make natural sense, but that’s because He doesn’t relate from the natural realm or standpoint.

Take, for example, the account of Genesis 26. At a time of severe famine in Gerar, God instructed Isaac to remain where he was instead of relocating to Egypt like everyone else around him. Genesis 26:12-14 records that “…Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.” Isaac prospered, made progress and became very great in a time of famine, just because he followed God’s instruction.

Maybe like Isaac, you’ve found yourself in a place where everything seems dry. God wants you to know that you can still prosper where you are. Or perhaps you’ve been battling with sickness in your body; His reasoning is that you’re the healed and not the sick (1 Peter 2:24). Accept this truth, and keep confessing your healing.

Meditate on this truth, and, like Abraham, believe in the God who makes alive the dead, and start calling those things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). Let your reasoning be in sync with God’s way of thinking; there’re no impossibilities or limitations with God. That’s the same mindset He wants you to have today and always.

🎯 Go Deeper
1 Corinthians 1:27-29; Isaiah 11:3

🔊 Speak
I have the mindset of God’s Word. I refuse to see limitations or impossibilities, for God’s Word has inspired faith in me to be possibility-conscious, and to reason like Him! I’m of quick understanding and I don’t judge by what I see nor reprove after the hearing of the ears.
