FULFILLING YOUR CALL;

📖And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it (Colossians 4:17).

Every Christian is called of God and has a divine destiny to fulfil. This doesn’t mean we’re all called into the five-fold ministry offices of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers, but each of us is called to fulfil a ministry in the Gospel.

Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Your union with Christ and partnership with Him in the Gospel is the greatest thing on the face of the earth; far greater than anything money can acquire.

That’s why it’s important that you know Him truly, and serve Him with your spirit. Pleasing Him, and fulfilling His destiny for your life should be your life’s pursuit. It’s like what we read about Moses; the Bible says he esteemed “…the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward” (Hebrews 11:26).

Moses didn’t live in Jesus’ day, but he had a revelation of his divine call. Through him, God delivered (saved) the children of Israel from Egypt. The Lord is counting on you; He’s committed His glorious Gospel to your trust. He’s called you into the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 says, “… and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

Esteem His call to win souls and live for Him, irrespective of circumstances, more than the treasures of this world, and fulfill it!

CONFESSION
I live for the cause of the Gospel; my heart beats with passion to reach and win more souls into the Kingdom. The zeal for the Gospel and the expansion of God’s Kingdom has consumed me; and by the power of God’s Spirit, I’m fulfilling this call gloriously, changing people’s lives with the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
1 Corinthians 15:58 AMPC Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].

Hebrews 11:24-26 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

USE GOD’S LIGHT RAYS

(Learn To See With His Light) ;

👤 Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

📖 TO THE BIBLE
Colossians 1:12-13 “Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love”

◀️ LET’S TALK
Blake was called out of to lead worship during his group meeting, and he started this way: “Alright, let’s sing and welcome God’s presence into this place…” when his leader chipped in that they didn’t need to welcome God’s presence, as they were already living in it. Reading today’s opening scripture, you begin to see your present position in the presence of God. You’re located there now. You’ve been translated from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. That’s where you live, and that’s the perspective from which you should see everything in life.

When X-ray light is turned on you, it gives no consideration for whatever is placed under it; it’s directed straight to your bones. In the same way, the light rays of God’s Word are directed to the human spirit. With God’s perspective, you see you’re loaded and sufficient in all things; you have everything you’ll ever require for life and godliness. You’re a success and you’re moving from glory to glory. So, see the glory of God on your life, and refuse to see things from another perspective. The Bible says, “Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!” (Psalm 87:3). Live in the reality of the glorious things that He’s spoken concerning you.

In Revelation 2:9, Jesus said to the Church in Smyrna, “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich)….” The Smyrnian Christians thought they were poor, but Jesus said they were actually rich. You may be reading this and think you have an ailment because the doctor has diagnosed it so, but if you’re a child of God, you’re completely healthy and strong. He expects you to see how divine and impregnable to sickness you are. He’s not aware that you’re “sick,” because whenever He looks at you, He sees the life and nature of God in you. Agree with His light and you’ll always be at peace, because all you see will be the miraculous and your inevitable victories.

STAY ON FAITH’S COURSE ;

(Faith Only Considers The Word);

👤 Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

📖 TO THE BIBLE

2 Corinthians 4:18 AMP C “…We consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.”

◀️ LET’S TALK
Jesus always wants to see you win and live happy every day. It’s because He loves you and cares about you, regardless of the challenges and difficulties you may be facing right now. He said this to His disciples, and He’s saying the same to you today: “…In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you]” (John 16:33 AMPC). Therefore, never allow anything get you frustrated. The triumphant life is yours in Christ Jesus, and it’s one lived by faith.

Always maintain your confession of God’s Word. Don’t accept defeat; don’t give in to sickness or anything that hurts. Don’t say, “I’ve caught an infection,” just because you noticed some symptoms in your body. Don’t say, “The trouble was too much, and so I gave up”; no, take on the shield of faith. With your faith, you can quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Faith doesn’t consider physical circumstances, it only considers the Word. Bodily symptoms or the doctor’s diagnosis shouldn’t change your confession. Keep the Word in your mouth and refuse to be rated by your circumstances. Steady your faith and keep it on course.

Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith….” He perfects your faith; therefore, never give up. Your faith is your currency; and with it, nothing shall be impossible to you. Every adversity you face is your opportunity to experience and manifest the glory of God (2 Corinthians 4:17). No matter what you go through in life, it’ll turn out for your good, as long as you turn your eyes away from the conditions or circumstances, to the Word of God.

GOD’S SUPPLY SYSTEM;

📖I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1-2 NIV).

When it comes to your finances, you must see the Lord as your source; otherwise, you’ll struggle financially. You must understand that being an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ, you’re plugged to an unending supply; never think or talk lack. Be supply-conscious; not supply from men, your employer or the government, but from God. His supply system is nonstop. But if you focus on men or your salary, that’s a system that fails.

Many have gone into depressing situations because their “source” failed, and the supply stopped; but it’s not so with God’s supply system. Consider Elijah: God instructed Him to get away from Ahab and hide by the Brook Cherith, and commanded ravens to feed him every morning and evening. He also drank water from the brook.

However, after a while, the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land (1 Kings 17:7). Imagine if Elijah’s trust or focus was on the brook and the ravens, and not the Lord Himself. He probably would have gone into frustration when the brook dried up.

At that time, God prepared a widow at Zarephath to take care of him (1 Kings 17:9). This should tell you something: take your eyes away from men, your job or business; they’re channels. God is your source; focus on Him, because it’s up to Him to choose which channel to use.

If, for instance, your cable company or satellite TV service provider disconnects you, it doesn’t matter what channel you want to watch, it won’t work. But God is your “service provider,” therefore, focus on Him and not the channels. He’ll orchestrate things in your favour and see to it that you walk continually in abundance.

Use the Word for your finances. David said, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). You have unlimited access to God’s inexhaustible riches. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you, for you liberally supply my every need according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. You’re my source; wealth and honour come from you alone. Your divine power has given me everything I require for life and godliness. I’m plugged into a nonstop supply system, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
1 Corinthians 8:6 AMPC Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things and for Whom we [have life], and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through and by Whom are all things and through and by Whom we [ourselves exist].

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: 9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

Psalm 121:1-2 NIV I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

REFUSE THE PRESSURES OF TIME ;

(…And Live In Eternity)

👤 Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

📖 TO THE BIBLE
Daniel 2:20-21 GNB “God is wise and powerful! Praise him forever and ever. He controls the times and the seasons; he makes and unmakes kings; it is he who gives wisdom and understanding.”

◀️ LET’S TALK
It’s the tenth month of the year 2019—our “Year of Lights.” Perhaps, you might have been troubled and saying in your heart, “Lord, I still have things I want to shine and excel in. I want to receive more money for this, and for that; now the year is almost coming to an end.” Don’t think that way with God. Stay in eternity. Live in eternity. Think differently. Don’t try to rush God like natural people do. Live with Him in His realm of life. Don’t get under the “pressure” of time.

When you get under pressure because of what you want to accomplish within a certain time, you become a slave to time. Don’t let that happen to you. Time should actually be a slave to you. Psalm 37:4-6 NIV says, “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” Nothing is too difficult for, or impossible with, the Lord; He’s the great God. He said in Jeremiah 32:27 MSG, “Stay alert! I am GOD, the God of everything living. Is there anything I can’t do?” His greatness is beyond description. His power is limitless. Trust Him, and trust His ability. He can do for you in a second, what naturally should have taken you ten years to achieve.

Within the last part of this year, you can receive anything that you desire of Him. Jesus said in John 16:24, “…Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” He wants your joy to be full; therefore, keep your faith active; ask and receive. Stand firm; stay strong. Believe and keep affirming the Word even in the face of staggering oppositions. Never give up!

A CALL OF HONOUR .;

Sunday, October 13th ,2019;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified (Romans 8:30).

Being born again, God’s call on your life is that of honour. The Bible says, “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). You’re among the chosen of the Lord. Therefore, don’t cast away the call of God on your life; it’s the only insurance for your future.

Many today are seeking honour from the wrong places. But Hebrews 5:4 says, “And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.” Only the Lord calls you to honour. It doesn’t matter what honour you try to get for yourself, and from where, it won’t work; you can’t honour yourself.

True honour is in serving the Lord, living for Him, and honouring what He honours. Therefore, always be glad and full of praise for the opportunities He gives you for service. Don’t treat them lightly, because your whole life is about that call.

If you do things that are inconsistent with that call, they’ll all turn to emptiness eventually. The only thing that matters to God is His call on your life and how you fulfil it. All the honour you have, and could ever get, is about that call.

Give attention to the Word of God, and His call on your life, that you fulfil it. Make the decision to follow the Spirit, not your flesh or the world, not your personal desires. Serve the Lord truly and wholeheartedly, and He’ll fill your life with His beauty, grace, glory and honour. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for calling me with a holy calling. As I give myself to the study of the Word and prayer, I’m further enlightened on how to fulfil my divine destiny in you without reproach. None of my steps shall slide, because I hear your voice directing me in your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: || 2 Timothy 2:20-21 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 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. ||

|| Hebrews 3:1-2 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house. ||

|| 1 Peter 2:9 AMPC But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own [a]purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. ||

ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN ADDED ;

(There Are No Unmet Needs In God’s Kingdom);

👤 Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

📖 TO THE BIBLE
Philippians 4:19 “…My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

◀️ LET’S TALK
Please help me,” Joe pleaded with Kevin, “I need some cash to get some lunch today.” “But Joe, I gave you some yesterday, which you’ve not returned, and now you’re asking again.” “Yeah, you know I don’t really have much; I will return it to you; just lend me some today.”

Joe thought he was in lack and resorted to begging others, but that wasn’t God’s desire for him! When you truly understand the message of the new creation, you’ll know there’s no such thing as lack or want for the child of God. Paul understood this, saying to the spiritually immature, “…My God shall supply all your need….” In truth, the new creation doesn’t need to be “supplied”; he’s the supplier! Romans 8:17 says we’re heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. When you’ve come of age, you’ll realise that in Christ, we don’t have any unmet needs.

When you come into the Kingdom of God, every good thing you could ever wish for is added to your life, without you having to ask (Matthew 6:33). You won’t need to try to find happiness, fulfillment, or try to pursue the things that the world seeks: fame, money, recognition, acceptance, etc.; they’d be added unto you. This doesn’t mean that after you’ve first sought and got the Kingdom of God, then you should go and seek other things. No, don’t seek anymore; you’ve already found it, if you’re born again; you’re already in the Kingdom, and the Kingdom is in you (Luke 17:21). To have the Kingdom is to have all things. Glory to God!

Don’t look at what you may consider a need; look at what He’s lavishly made available to you in Christ. Affirm God’s Word in your life; He has said all things are yours; declare the same, because truly, there’s nothing you require that hasn’t been provided in Christ (1 Corinthians 3:21-22). Hallelujah!

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY;

📖…And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).

In life, there’re adversities. Jesus said in John 16:33, “…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” It makes no difference what the situation is; take advantage of God’s extraordinary power in overcoming life’s adversities by expressing your faith. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

However, faith not expressed, won’t prevail. James 2 verses 17 and 26 lets us know that faith without corresponding action is of no effect: “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26). You express your faith in words and actions. An example is the account in Mark 10:46-52 of blind Bartimaeus; he repeatedly cried out to Jesus for healing. You’d have expected the Master to heal him right away, but that wasn’t what happened.

When Jesus eventually came face-to-face with the blind man, He asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The Lord could see that the man was blind, yet He needed him to act his faith.

When you study the ministry of Jesus, you’d discover He always wanted people to express their faith. So, when the blind man said to Him, “I want to receive my sight,” the Lord went ahead and healed him. Don’t cry or complain to God about your situation; express your faith!

Jesus said if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you can achieve anything; nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20). And you already have faith, for the Bible says He’s dealt to every one of us the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). Act on the Word. When you pray, rejoice, knowing you’ve received. That’s faith!

God doesn’t mind challenges coming your way, since He knows He’s already made you an overcomer. 1 John 4:4 says, “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.” Cheer up; the victory is yours already. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
Blessed be God! In Christ, I’ve got the victory; I’ve overcome the world, its systems, economies and economics. I’m galloping in a perpetual victory parade. Through me, the knowledge of Christ spreads everywhere; my triumphs of faith effuse exquisite fragrance of His glory in every place. And as I live in God’s Word, I’m guided and inspired by His wisdom to fulfil His perfect will for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

THREE IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR SUCCESS

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches (Proverbs 24:3-4).

Our theme verse highlights three vital elements for building a successful life: wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. It says with wisdom, a “house” is built; house here could be likened to your life, business, career, family, or any enterprise. It goes further to say that the house, once built, is established by understanding; and then by knowledge, you bring riches into it.

Wisdom is the insight of knowledge, insight into the secrets and mysteries of life. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:7 that wisdom is the principal thing, the capital you need for whatever you want to achieve in life: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

Notice that it doesn’t stop at enjoining you to get wisdom; it goes further to say, “Along with wisdom, get understanding.” Spiritual understanding is just as important as wisdom in building a successful life. You may have the wisdom to start something, but you need understanding to establish it, and then knowledge of how to make consistent progress from glory to glory.

In Colossians 1:9, the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, prayed for us to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Knowledge here is exact or full knowledge of God. Through this kind of knowledge, you make your life glorious: your life (the house) is filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge go together. You need all three to be effective, and to live the extraordinary life of success, dominion, victory and excellence that God has ordained for you.

PRAYER

Precious Father, I thank you for granting me the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Now, I’m filled with the knowledge of your will, in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding, to deal excellently in life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Colossians 1:9

THE FIGHT IS PERSONAL!

(Your Fight Of Faith Is One You’ve Got To Fight)

TO THE BIBLE

1 Timothy 6:12 NIV
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

LET’S TALK

Do you realise God never said through Paul, “I’ll fight the good fight of faith for you”; the fight of faith is your personal fight; and it’s a good fight because you always win. The weapon you need to fight is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. You engage in the fight of faith by holding on to God’s Word, maintaining your confessions, in the face of staggering oppositions.

Perhaps, you’ve missed getting your tuition fees paid in time and the school is threatening to expel you. Maybe you were in an accident and you’ve been told it’s medically impossible for you to walk again, because of the damage to your legs; whatever the case may be, refuse to panic or be agitated. Fight the good fight of faith. Don’t succumb to that negative condition! Refuse sickness, poverty or defeat. Don’t give in to, or accept anything that’s contrary to your divine heritage in Christ. Be strong in faith; maintain your confessions of the Word.

The circumstances of life may not always correspond with what the Word of God says, or the visions God has given you; that’s the time to fight the fight of faith. That’s when to declare, “I’m what God says I am; I have what He says I have; and I can do what He says I can do!” It doesn’t matter what you see, hear or feel; it doesn’t matter how negative or impossible things may look in the natural; keep affirming the Word.

Remember, this is something you must do for yourself, and by yourself. Depend on the Word as the basis and assurance for all your actions and you’ll always be triumphant.

GO DEEPER

2 Corinthians 4:17
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Romans 4:17
“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”
