Pastor Chris Oyakhilome So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

Some - [And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/and-i-say-also-unto-thee-that-thou-art-peter-and-upon-this-rock-i-will-build-my-church-and-the-gates-of-hell-shall-not-prevail-against-it-matthew-1618/) - And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). The Lord Jesus made the remarkable statement in our theme scripture above in response to Peter's amazing revelatory insight about the Master's identity as - [Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28 RSV).](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/therefore-let-us-be-grateful-for-receiving-a-kingdom-that-cannot-be-shaken-and-thus-let-us-offer-to-god-acceptable-worship-with-reverence-and-awe-hebrews-1228-rsv/) - Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe (Hebrews 12:28 RSV).

In our opening verse, it’s clear what God hasn’t given to us, and what He has given us: He’s not given us the spirit of fear, cowardice or timidity. Rather, He’s - [To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27)](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/to-whom-god-would-make-known-what-is-the-riches-of-the-glory-of-this-mystery-among-the-gentiles-which-is-christ-in-you-the-hope-of-glory-colossians-127-3/) - To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27) The ultimate message and vision of Christianity is “Christ in you!” Yet, not all Christians have fully grasped this reality; some are unaware of what - [HIS NAME CHANGES EVERYTHING](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/his-name-changes-everything/) - HIS NAME CHANGES EVERYTHING And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark - [For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV).](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/for-god-so-loved-the-world-that-he-gave-his-one-and-only-son-that-whoever-believes-in-him-shall-not-perish-but-have-eternal-life-john-316-niv/) - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV). The opening verse is a profound statement from Jesus. It says whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life; that’s you. It also - [But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30)](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/but-of-him-are-ye-in-christ-jesus-who-of-god-is-made-unto-us-wisdom-and-righteousness-and-sanctification-and-redemption-1-corinthians-130-3/) - CHRIST—OUR RIGHT-STANDING BEFORE THE FATHER But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30) I’ve often said that the biggest subject in all of God’s Word is righteousness.

Pastor Chris OYAKHILOME; And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11). The Apostle Paul, in the 11th verse - [All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/all-scripture-is-given-by-inspiration-of-god-and-is-profitable-for-doctrine-for-reproof-for-correction-for-instruction-in-righteousness-2/) - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). When you study the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, you’ll come to the realization that indeed, the - [He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions (Psalm 107:20).](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/he-sent-his-word-and-healed-them-and-delivered-them-from-their-destructions-psalm-10720-2/) - He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions (Psalm 107:20). The Hebrew word translated healed is “râphâh”; it means to mend, to cure, to heal, repair, or thoroughly make whole.

The scripture above brings to mind an amazing testimony of a young lad who had a ghastly accident, resulting in a gruesome leg injury. The doctors said he’d never walk again, and if he did, it - [The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple (Psalm 119130).](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/the-entrance-of-thy-words-giveth-light-it-giveth-understanding-unto-the-simple-psalm-119130/) - The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple (Psalm 119:130). I’ll like you to observe what the entrance of God’s words brings: "light." The Hebrew word translated “light” in the opening verse is “'ôr”; and it means to make luminous or lambent; to shine, to be glorious, to kindle or - [For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/for-it-is-god-which-worketh-in-you-both-to-will-and-to-do-of-his-good-pleasure-philippians-213/) - GOD'S WORD PROPELS YOU TO “DO” For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).

Our theme verse says if you belong to Christ, then you’re Abraham’s seed and an heir according to the promise. This is so profound. It also brings to mind what the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 1:3, - [And if Christ is in you, although the body may be dead because of sin, the Spirit gives it life because of righteousness.](https://christiandevotional.com.ng/and-if-christ-is-in-you-although-the-body-may-be-dead-because-of-sin-the-spirit-gives-it-life-because-of-righteousness/) - And if Christ is in you, although the body may be dead because of sin, the Spirit gives it life because of righteousness.

Pastor Chris He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD (Psalm 33:5). Some don’t believe that the earth is truly full of the goodness of God.

Though Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew God as El Shaddai, God introduced Himself to Moses as Jehovah (Exodus 6).
