Faith In The Word - Wednesday, August 3

Pastor Chris

And Jesus said unto them…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20).

Have you ever heard someone say, “I have faith in the Bible?” That doesn’t really make any spiritual sense. You can have faith that the Bible is true, and that it contains the Word of God, but to have faith that it’ll protect you if you place it under your pillow at night won’t work.

Don’t rest your faith on “the Bible,” but in the Word of God contained therein. Remember, we observed in our last study that the Bible is the testimony of God, but it contains the words of men, Satan, demons, and even a donkey. So to have faith in the Bible in that generic sense isn’t what works. Your faith has to be in God’s Word, and by that, faith requires to be definite and directed. True faith originates from God’s specific Word; and that’s what produces results.

The “logos” of God is life (John 6:63), but it won’t do anything for you until you receive it and act on it. For instance, there may be several electric sockets with electric power in a building, but to use the power, you have to plug an appliance into a power socket for it to work. That’s the same thing with the Word of God. The Bible says, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). The whole body of God’s Word is truth, but the truth that makes you free is the truth you receive; the truth you know and live by.

The written Word doesn’t have power of itself until it comes out of the lips of a man who has faith; that’s where the power is. So, act your faith in the Word and you’ll be victorious always.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your engrafted Word, by which I live. I succeed and make progress by the Word today, and my victorious life is evident, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

John 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

James 1:22-25
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

The Bible Is God’s Testimony - Tuesday, August 2nd

Pastor Chris

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21).

Many, out of ignorance, treat the Bible like any other book. They say, “Inspired men wrote the Bible the same way William Shakespeare was inspired to write ‘Julius Caesar.’” That’s not true. There’re different kinds of inspirations. There’s the inspiration of a poet, which has nothing to do with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. A poet could look at nature and be inspired, but the inspiration that comes from the Holy Spirit transcends such; it’s divine inspiration.

The Bible is a revelation; a compilation of the out-breathings of God; it’s God’s revelation given in words. Yes, it contains history, poetry, prophecy and so on; but these are all according to the Spirit of God and from His perspective. You’ll find in the Bible what God said; what angels said; what Satan said; what demons said; what prophets said; what men and women said, and what even an ass said. But they’re all God’s testimony of what they said.
Therefore, when we say the Bible is God’s Word, it’s true, because it contains the testimony of God. A testimony is a statement or affirmation of a fact. In a court of law, it’s the aggregate of proof offered in a case; the statement of a witness.

In Christianity, we believe and affirm that the Bible is God’s authentic declaration of Himself, of His works, of His plans and purposes, and of His views. Anyone who doesn’t believe this isn’t a Christian.
The Bible says all scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16); holy men spoke words that were carefully chosen by the Holy Spirit. This means the Holy Spirit didn’t only breathe God’s Word into the lives of these men, He actually moved them to write as they did. This makes the Bible trustworthy. You can trust its writings, because it’s more than a religious book; it’s the testimony of God.

Prayer...
Thank you precious Lord, for the revelation of your personality, will, purpose and character through the Scriptures. Your Word lightens my path and guides my life. I’m built up and energised by your Word for the ever-winning and triumphant life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Glorified With Christ - Monday, August 1

Pastor Chris

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).

Jesus is all-powerful. But just like in the book of Hebrews that tells us about those who had the possibility of deliverance but rejected deliverance, that they might have a greater glory (Hebrews 11:35), Jesus accepted the death on the cross. He laid down His glory, and suffered for us. The Bible says He gave up everything for our sake (Philippians 2:7 CEV). Today in heaven, Hes crowned with all glory and majesty. Hes the glorified Christ.

Now, 1 John 4:17 tells us something profound. It says, as he (the glorified Jesus) is, so are we in this world. It doesnt say, as he was, so are we. Were as He is NOW!

Hes the second and last Adam, because He heads the new creation of which were a part. Hallelujah! So, youre not from the first Adam; you cant be traced to him. When youre in Christ, therere no records that trace you to the first Adam, because the Bible says, 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).

Were partakers, as well as bearers, of His glory. Jesus gave us the same glory that the Father gave to Him: And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one (John 17:22). Today, you have become the very effulgence of Gods glory, just as Jesus is. The Bible says, ...He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased (2 Peter 1:17).

Get to know about the invaluable treasure God has deposited within you. Hes given you not just His life, His peace and His righteousness; Hes also given you His excellent glory.

Confession...
Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so do I live a new life of dominion over sickness, disease, infirmity, poverty, and the devil. Im seated together with Christ in heavenly places, where I reign and rule with Him. Hallelujah!

Be Clear About What You Want - Sunday, July 31

Pastor Chris

…And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 16:19).

What the Lord Jesus meant when He said, “Whatsoever thou shalt bind…” almost has nothing to do with permission or lack of it. The Greek word translated “bind” above is “deó,” and it means several things. It means to bind as in chains; it also means to put under obligation, to prohibit, or to prevent from free movement or liberty. However, many only relate with that word “deó” in isolation; but applying the other synonyms provides an expanded understanding of what Jesus actually meant in our opening verse.

When you study the Book of Revelation, chapter twenty, the Bible tells us about Satan being bound and cast into the bottomless pit by an angel who came with chains. Furthermore, in the ninth chapter of the same Book, you’d read about how there were fallen angels who were bound in the River Euphrates, and the word came for them to be released, to be “loosed.” That wasn’t a mere permission and forbidding. Those fallen angels were bound, possibly with chains.

Then in the Book of Luke, chapter 13, we find a woman who, because she had been bound by Satan, was bowed over; she came in while Jesus was teaching in the Synagogue, and Jesus said, “Woman, you’re loosed from your infirmity” (read Luke 13:12-16). The Master touched her and she straightened up, healed by the power of God. When Satan bound her, she couldn’t straighten herself.

Therefore, when Jesus said, “...whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,” He meant whatsoever you ask the Father in His (Jesus’) Name, the Father will give it to you. So, when you say to Satan, “I bind you!” it has to be clear what you’re saying, because we already stated that to bind means many things; which one do you mean? What is it you want to bind? Moreover, what do you understand by what you said? What does the devil understand by what you said? Your communication and intention must be clear.

For instance, Jesus said to an evil spirit, “...Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, COME OUT OF HIM, AND ENTER NO MORE INTO HIM” (Mark 9:25). He bound the devil from coming back into the young lad. He was very clear about his instruction to the devil and what He was forbidding him from. Therefore, when you want to bind an evil spirit, be clear as to what you want; and he won’t be able to withstand your command. Blessed be God!

Confession...
Greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world! I’ve been given power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the ability of the enemy! I live in the Name of Jesus, and triumph gloriously by Him always, glory to God!

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Do Something About It - Saturday, July 30 

Pastor Chris

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ) (Romans 5:17).

Sometimes, certain things happen to some of God’s children, and others wonder, "But he’s born again; how could that have happened to him?" The person probably did nothing about the situation before it got out of hand. Some Christians have the erroneous idea it’s God who must "do" something about their case; but it’s not that way. He’s given you the authority to change circumstances in His Name. 

You must realize that God has done everything necessary to bring you out of any and every predicament; He’s done all that’s required for you never to fail in life. No matter what you may be going through today, be it problems at work, in your family, in your marriage, or with your children; you can be victorious. Perhaps you’re sick in your body or you have a loved one who’s suffering terribly, Jesus already settled everything. His vicarious death, burial, and triumphant resurrection was for you to have a life of glory.

You have the authority to use the Name of Jesus to effect any change you want in your life or the lives of your loved ones. Don’t say, "Whatever will be, will be!" To talk like that is to make yourself a victim in life. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the glory of God is manifested in your life. If you don’t do something, nothing will be done. 

Stand firm for what you want in life. Refuse to suffer. Use the Word, the Name of Jesus, and the power of the Spirit to destroy the works of the devil, and frustrate his manoeuvres where you are. Declare God’s Word boldly over your life, your family, your job, business, academics, ministry, etc. Use the Word to effect changes in your life, city, state and country, from glory to glory.

Confession...
I’m victorious for life, because I live in the Word. The Word of God in my heart and in my mouth prevails today and always over circumstances. I’ve overcome the world, because greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world. I live the higher life in Christ. Glory to God!

Poverty abounds in those churches when you scratch the surface.

Your opinion, it's been noted.

He's just thriving from the poor and keeping them more in poverty.

Lol... Hilarious!

He's one of the top 10 individual employers of labor in Nigeria (note, individual, not board, or company) , a philanthropist, gave 1 billion Naira (yeah, billion) to BIU, sends thousands of Children to school, raised world class gospel artists, etc... Yet, you sit there thinking he's thriving on the poor... Let's assume these folks were really poor, where then do you think the monies come from? A bank loan?... Ah, I hear you wanting to say tithes and offerings? Hahahahahha

Think about it, if those were really tithes and offering, the church could then not be termed as abounding in poverty,would it?

Point is, you're really pained about nothing... Baseless and slanderous remarks won't make you a better person... Or successful either.

nnenneigbo:
The followers have no money, only the man. Others steal or go without to enrich him in the name of Jesus. Because give and it shall be given unto you. Don't forget your tithes and offering and this and that.

You really wish this were true... You're sorely hurt by something... What is it?

Heck, just give them your blood so they'll be happy. In churches, especially CE, the poor get poorer and the rich richer.

Look closely at any dedicated Christ Embassy member, you'd hardly ever see poverty mentality lurking around them... We don't get poorer here... We shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day!

Oya, go start telling people I said no poor folks amongst us... Seems your have a bit challenge assimilating the above.

Many of them are so vile and have the cheek to come and preach near me. I know how to handle them for sure.

Wait till I get to you... You'd so love me ehn!... And yeah, you'd then love pastor Chris... As he loves Christ!

A Life Of Excellence-Friday, July 29

Pastor Chris

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His
workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should
walk in them [living the good life which He
prearranged and made ready for us to live]
(Ephesians 2:10 AMP).

God prepared and planned your life beforehand for His glory. He didn’t create you for defeat, weakness, sadness or failure. He planned a wonderful life for you —a life of excellence. The challenge is that most
people are yet to understand God’s good plan for them. In Jeremiah 29:11, He said, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
God’s expected end for you is success, victory, honour, and abundance.

He prearranged a good life of blessings for you to walk in. It brings to mind what He
did before He created Adam. He first created a beautiful garden where everything Adam would require was made available. He then created Adam and placed him in the ready-made Garden of Eden, “…to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15), not to toil or cultivate the ground afresh.

God knew you’d be born at this time and planned ahead for you like every caring father would. That means there’s no need for you to go through life suffering, begging or seeking blessings, because you stepped into God’s destiny for you the moment you
were born again. Therefore, enjoy your life, and enjoy all that He’s made available to you.

2 Peter 1:3 says, “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.” He’s called you to
glory and virtue; that means to a life of excellence.

Never think failure, because God has never made a failure. You’re His dream come true; you’re the best of everything that He created: “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be
a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18).

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your life and nature in my spirit, and the life of excellence that I have in Christ Jesus. I’m a winner and a victor forever. I rise higher than the tides of life, because the greater One lives in me. I’m a success forever, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

Don’t Keep It To Yourself - Thursday, July 28th .

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

Our opening scripture addresses those who win souls to Christ; they’re destined to shine as the brightness of the firmament and stars for ever and ever. This lets you know how important you are to the Lord, if you’re a soul winner.

Soul winning is God’s number one job, and as His children, we’re to take the message of salvation to the nations of the world; it’s our mandate: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). The Gospel is man’s only hope; it’s God’s power to bring men out of sin into righteousness, and out of darkness into His marvellous light. Only through the Gospel can men receive eternal life and become partakers of the divine nature.

Through the Gospel, life and immortality have been brought to light (2 Timothy 1:10). Therefore, to know the Gospel; to be saved and then keep it to yourself means you’re not fulfilling the will of God. You must tell others about Christ and the power of His Gospel to save them and make them partakers of His righteousness.

Be passionate about soul winning; do it as though you’re the only person to whom the responsibility has been charged. Put your utmost into it. In Ezekiel 3:17-18 the Lord said, “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me….”

God has made you a “watchman” over the sinners—the unconverted in your world. Therefore, let the passion for soul winning be in your heart as a burning fire, shut up in your bones, so much so that you’re unable to keep it to yourself (Jeremiah 20:9).

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for making me a true and dependable minister of the Gospel, an ambassador of Christ. I’m effective today in turning many to righteousness, and from darkness to light, through the power of the Holy Spirit that’s at work in me mightily. I shine as a star forever, because I’m a soul winner, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:3-5
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 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. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

Activate The Power in You-
Wednesday, July 27

Pastor Chris

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:.

Many of God’s people need to know how to activate the power of God in them for an effective life and ministry. Paul said to Timothy, “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands” (2 Timothy 1:6). It’s your responsibility to stir up the gift of God in you to produce results.

The Lord Jesus said you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come on you (Acts 1:. He’s in you now that you’re born again, which means His power is in you. However, if you want to see the release of the power of God in your life, the first thing you must
learn to do is declare God’s Word boldly and in faith.

The Word of God is God; His Word is where the glory is. Therefore, as you meditate on the Word and speak it forth, you create an atmosphere for the miraculous in, and around you. Another sure and quick way to activate and energize your spirit for the power in you to be effective is speaking or praying in tongues. When you pray in
tongues, your spirit is stirred; the power of God wells up like currents from your spirit.

That power works on. your mind such that you’re transported to the higher realms of the supernatural. 1 Corinthians 14:4 says the one who speaks in tongues edifies himself; he charges up himself like a battery. When a car battery is left inactive for a while, you’d need to charge it again to restore it to an
effective state.

In the same way, the power of God in your spirit can be dormant and inactive except you “charge up” your spirit and get it perpetually active by speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues works in conjunction with the Word to build your spirit and activate the power of God in you for the life of success and dominion.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your glory is manifested in my life today, as I meditate on the Word, and speak in other tongues. My life is a testimony of your immeasurable grace and righteousness. Your power in me is activated, causing me to walk in your glory and wisdom to fulfil your good pleasure, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

Walk In The Word - Tuesday, July 26th .

For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD (Psalm 33:4-5).
We read in our opening verse that the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

To whose advantage do you think that is? It’s the Church’s advantage! What you have to learn is how to walk in the Word to enjoy God’s best—His divine provisions. Everything God created was specially made for your comfort and provision. He’s already given you everything that you require to fulfil your destiny and live triumphantly for His glory (2 Peter 1:3).

1 Corinthians 3:21 says all things are yours. Therefore, you don’t have to suffer or settle for the lesser things in life. The Lord Jesus suffered in your place, to usher you into a life of glory. Hebrews 2:10 says, “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

These aren’t promises but present-hour realities. He tells us in Isaiah 1:19-20, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land….” According to the Scriptures, we’re not called to obey the Word but to walk in the Word. We practise and do the Word; that’s where the blessing is: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.…But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:22-25).
How much you enjoy life, and all that Christ has done for you and made you, depends on how much of God’s Word you live-out, walk in or live by.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for sanctifying my heart to know, believe and walk in your truth always. My life is improved, and your glory is revealed in and through me as I meditate on, and live in your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

He is on a mission that failed even before he started. Jesus said the gates f hell shall nit revail against the church. This is very evident, looking at the global ministry called Christ Embassy. Before he started this thread, the healing school held only in SA. Now its in SA, Canada and Nigeria with mighty testimonies.

In fact, a session is on-going in Canada right now. God's hand is upn the healing school and uon His servant Rev Dr. Chris Oyakhilome. That's why any attempt of theirs to discredit this ministry always ends in shame and disapointment.

The last session in SA was attended by 5000 ministers of the gospel from other ministries who traveled from 150 countries to meet with the man of God in SA. Where have you heard of such before? Ok, they are all foolish and only SirJohn is wise abi? The healing school is not a TV show, it is a ministry.

I think the guy SirJohn should bury his head in shame while he awaits the final sentence from Jesus Christ himself.

You’re His Voice To Your World .
Monday, July 25

Pastor Chris

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:19-20).

Our opening scripture is the Lord’s instruction to everyone who has received Christ; you’re to take the message of salvation to your world. You’re to teach those in your world how to live and walk in righteousness; you’re to teach all nations. What does He mean by “teach all nations?” Though synonymously used, it’s important to note that there’s a difference between nations and countries; countries have borders, but nations don’t.

“Nations” in our theme scripture doesn’t mean countries. It derives from the Greek word “Ethnos,” which refers to different groups of people, sharing a common interest. It’s our job to take the Gospel to every man’s world: to the different groups (ethnos) to which we belong. They may be in the world of politicians, doctors, artisans, musicians, academicians, lawyers, police or the armed forces; you’re God’s voice to your world.

You’re a missionary, an oracle of God, commissioned to help the unconverted in your world receive salvation, and teach them the Word. You’re to show them the path of life, for you’re the light of the world. God has made you a man or woman of influence in your world; use your influence for Him. Make impact with the Gospel. Let more people in your world come to the knowledge of Christ through you. Be bold to preach and teach the Gospel, for you’re His voice to your world.

Prayer...
Thanks be unto God, who has made me an able minister of the Gospel, to impact my world with the knowledge of Christ. I make full proof of my ministry, as a preacher and teacher of righteousness, proclaiming liberty to the oppressed, and bringing deliverance and the light of Christ to those in bondage, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Prize Your Salvation Above All Else - Sunday, July 24th

Pastor Chris

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

The most important thing in your life as a Christian is your salvation. There’s no worldly accomplishment that can compare to it. Everything else you do, all the glory in this world, without your salvation is nothing. Therefore, prize it above everything else.

Our primary reason for preaching the Gospel—doing all we do to help others find their salvation—is our salvation. Sadly, there’re people who, after labouring and doing so much for the Gospel, lost their salvation because they went out of the way. They allowed some misguided people lure them away from the Word, and soon, they began to fight for things of this world and of the flesh. Your salvation is the most important thing; don’t trade it for anything.

If a man loses his salvation, he loses everything, regardless of how many conferences he may have attended or how many people he may have led to Christ. Protect your salvation. Keep it, and don’t allow anyone or anything destroy it. Don’t lead yourself astray, and don’t give anyone that opportunity. There’re hawks, wolves in the church who won’t spare the flock, and will for personal gain, do just anything to lead you in their pernicious ways.

Never forget that when you came to Christ, you came alone. God called you alone; just the same way the Bible tells us He called Abraham alone (Isaiah 51:2). That you have received Christ isn’t enough; that’s only the beginning. You must keep building yourself in Him, and growing in, and by His Word.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word by which I’m built and transformed from glory to glory. I yield myself to the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me always in your righteousness that I may live worthy of you, pleasing you in all things, fruitful and productive in every good work, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*Our Responsibility In Divinity* - Saturday, 23rd July.

_Pastor Chris_

*That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6)*

Sometimes, you find Christians who, out of ignorance, always pray and hope that God will do something about their situation. Such people are still functioning in the human nature, instead of the divine nature. The Bible says, “ That the communication of thy faith may become effectual....” The word “effectual” is from the Greek, “energes,” which means “to become active or operative.” God wants your participation in the faith to become active or operative. He wants you functioning or doing your part in divinity. He doesn’t want you lukewarm or inactive like one that’s handicapped, expecting that whatever will be, will be. No, you’re a vital part of divinity. Glory to God!

This has been God’s idea all along. Look at the experience of Moses and the children of Israel by the Red Sea. As the chariots of Egypt approached them with deadly intentions, Moses thought to pray to God for help, but God’s response was rather stunning: “And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:” (Exodus 14:15). This wasn’t the time to start praying; the matter at hand was urgent. He then instructed, “...stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it...” (Exodus 14:16).

Observe that God didn’t say to Moses, “Pray to me and I will do something.” He said, “Divide the sea.” Moses then raised his rod over the waters, and when he did, God caused a strong wind to come through the waters and parted it both ways. That was an act of divine power, but Moses had something to do with it. He stretched forth his hand, and the Spirit of God moved. But until he did something, God did nothing.

2 Peter 1:4 lets us know that we’ve been made partakers of the divine nature; in other words, we’re associates of the God-kind. This implies that, as God’s children, we’ve been called to participate or to be involved in the divine experience. Make your participation in the divine nature active and effective through your words and acts of faith.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace that’s made me one with you and has qualified me to be a partaker of your divine nature. I declare that I’m walking in preordained paths and bearing fruits unto righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

There Are Positions Of Prayer - Friday, July 22

Pastor Chris

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2).
Did you know that there’re positions of prayer, and that the different positions you assume when you pray are important? For example, lying on your bed to pray is one of the positions of prayer.

When you lie on your bed to pray, it’s meditative. You’re likely going to start out praying in tongues, because there’s a lot that can come through your spirit, such as worship; you find that you’re worshipping and praising the Lord upon your bed, like the Bible says, “Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds” (Psalm 149:5). You can really be stirred on your bed as you pray like that, with the anointing welling up and overwhelming you. Before long, you might soon bounce off the bed and start pacing the floor.

Then, there’s kneeling down to pray. When you want to pray on your knees, it’s important that you’re specific and clear as to the things you want to pray about. In Ephesians 3:14-15, Paul said, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ…” ; and he clearly enumerated the things he wanted to pray about.

Then there’s the standing position. Jesus said, “And when ye stand praying, forgive…” (Mark 11:25); why? It’s because when you stand to pray, it’s often a prayer of faith that proceeds from your mouth; you start making decrees! However, the Master was quick to caution that you don’t harbour unforgiveness against anyone; you must walk in love, so your prayer will be effective. He wants your prayer life to be effective. In studying the Word, you’ll learn more on positions of prayer.

God wants us to continue in prayer. As long as there’s one sinner in the world, we must keep praying. As long as the rapture of the Church hasn’t taken place, we’ve got to pray. Prayer is a heavenly ministry; it’s part of our priestly ministry as believers; always take it seriously.

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word to me today. I’m confident, and therefore glad, that I have answers to every request I make in the Name of Jesus. I celebrate your life in me, grateful that in you I live, and move, and have my being. My life is eternally for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

It’s Not Enough To Have Enough -Thursday, July 21st .

Pastor Chris

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth (Ephesians 4:28).

There’re different levels of prosperity and you must keep challenging yourself to go higher. Some are at the level where they have just enough to get by, but it’s not enough to have enough. God’s plan is for you to live in superabundance, where you’re powerful and influential enough financially to do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, however you want to do it!

Don’t be comfortable to have just enough for you and your family. Don’t be comfortable with having only all you need; challenge yourself to achieve more. You need to prosper exceedingly, not just for you and your family, but so you can be of help to those in need. Be the one that blesses others. This is what God told Abraham: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2).

God isn’t interested only in blessing you; He has blessed you and made you a channel of blessing. Our opening verse reveals the purpose for your labour; it’s so that you’ll have to give. There’s a blessing for the one who gives. Others must benefit from your prosperity. Someone says, “My business is doing very well; and everything is fine in my family….” Is that really all there is to life? Is that what Jesus died for? What about others who don’t have enough?

When the children of Israel went out to the Promised Land and were taking their inheritance, Joshua said to them, “...The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land…but ye shall pass before your brethren armed…and help them…Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you…” (Joshua 1:13-15). This should be your attitude: live beyond yourself and be a blessing to others.

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your grace upon my life, to be a blessing to others, and a dispenser of eternal verities. I’m like a well-watered garden, and an ever-flowing spring, giving life, restoring hope, and bringing joy to those in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Word Perfects US - Wednesday, July 20

Pastor Chris

*"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, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).*

The scripture above tells us how to make our lives balanced and perfect: it's with the Word of God. The King James uses the word *"perfect,"* rendered *"artios"* in Greek, which means *"a freshness in completeness."* In today's language, it means to be *"up-to-date"* or *"updated."* So, the Scriptures are there for you to "update" and upgrade your life unto perfection.

Anyone would be making a big mistake to think they can live a glorious life, devoid of errors, if they ignored the Scriptures. If you want to live in the perfect will of God, pleasing Him in all things, living the Word is the only way. The Word is given to us to guide us, correct us, build and shape our character in righteousness and true holiness.

If you're not following the Scriptures properly, you'll make king-sized errors - embarrassing but avoidable mistakes. Jesus said in Matthew 22:29 NIV, *"You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God."* The more you study the Word, the more you minimize your errors, and ultimately become perfect. One of the definitions of success is the ability to minimize errors.

Don't keep making the same mistakes you made years ago. To keep repeating your mistakes means there's no growth. But with the abundance of God's Word in your heart, you'll grow unto perfection, and mistakes will be eliminated. Let the Word dwell in you richly; it'll give you the advantage, and make you perfect in all things. Give it first place in your life, and see the perfections of the Spirit become manifest in your life and in all that you do.

Confession...
The Word of God dwells in me richly in all wisdom, propelling me in perfection and excellence. I have a sound mind, and an excellent life, because I'm yielded to, and led by, the Holy Spirit, who guides me through the Word. I'm perfect, proficient, and thoroughly fitted for every good work. Glory to God!

Maintain The Drive - Tuesday, July 19

Pastor Chris

For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery (Ecclesiastes 8:6 NIV).

God may give you a vision or direction on something and you may not follow it, because there’s no drive from within. If the drive isn’t there to fulfil the vision, you’ll not fulfil it. In fact, the vision could be on your conscience for some time until you harden your conscience against it. You’re aware the Spirit of God told you to do something, but you didn’t do it; one year has passed, and it’s not like you’re about to do it. Presently, the opportunity to do it has even become hazy, yet you’re not sure how to go about it anymore.

This is what happens with many people. When the timing for the vision came, different things came up and they got distracted; as a result, they missed it. Such people are like Peter, who stepped on the water to walk to Jesus, but when he took his eyes off the Master, the waves got his attention, and he began to sink.

Never allow anything distract or delay you from doing whatever the Lord tells you to do. Whatever He tells you to do or whatever guidance He gives you at any particular time is what you need; act quickly and don’t delay. Refuse to take your eyes off your focus, despite the contrary winds, and your faith will produce result. Once you know the Holy Spirit has ministered to you, giving you instructions on what to do, stay focused, and act.

If you delay, your faith for it may dissipate; the inspiration may no longer be there, and when you later want to do it without the inspiration, there’ll be no success. So, maintain the drive through your confessions; keep talking to yourself about fulfilling that God-given vision: the guidance that He’s given you. Keep saying it; stir your spirit with it, declaring that it’s done, and nothing is going to stop it. As you talk like that, you’re maintaining the drive, till the vision is fulfilled. Hallelujah!

Prayer...
Dear Lord, thank you for your Spirit in my life that helps me maintain inspiration and sets me in the direction of your perfect will. I’m zealous and fervent, consumed with passion for the Gospel, and the things you’ve placed in my heart to accomplish for your glory. I’m winning every day, and making progress with giant strides, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Listen With Your Heart - Monday, July 18

Pastor Chris

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1Corinthians 2:14).

Values in the earth-realm are different from values in the spirit-realm. The only way to understand values in the spirit-realm is through the study of the Scriptures.
The Scriptures show you the things that are important to God. You can’t understand those values with human reasoning. Jesus said, “…forth at which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God” (Luke 16:15). This is what is buttressed in our opening verse: spiritual things are spiritually understood, and natural men stumble at them.

This is why it’s important that you train yourself to always hear and listen with your spirit. For example, in your church or local assembly, except you listen with your spirit, you could misunderstand what you
hear, and may even be offended by what’s being said. Some Christians have felt offended at their Pastors or leaders, because they were listening with their flesh while spiritual truths were being communicated, howbeit, with human words. If what’s being said makes “sense” to them, they’ll accept it; otherwise, they’ll filter it off. Don’t be that way.

Don’t live according to the senses. God’s Word isn’t meant to appeal to your senses; it’s meant for your spirit. When you receive the ministry of the Word with your spirit, everything about it will make spiritual
sense to you. Be excited always about the Word of God that comes to you. Take what you hear or are being taught in the Word as building blocks for more progress in your life. Never find yourself arguing with the Word; don’t struggle with it. Always receive the
Word with your heart.

Prayer...
Dear Lord, I thank you for the impact of your Word in my life. I receive your Word in truth, with faith, meekness, love and gladness, observing to do what it says, that I may increase in wisdom and glory, to the
praise of your majesty, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Endless Prosperity - Sunday, July 17

Pastor Chris

Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel…And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead (1 Chronicles 29:26, 28).

There’re people who, at a certain time, were doing very well in life; everything looked okay with them. But somewhere along the line, they lost everything they had acquired, not because somebody stole from them, but what they possessed suddenly became too small; the society grew bigger than them. Suddenly, the money they had, which used to be substantial, became paltry. Their vehicles became too old, and outdated.

Their lives took a downward slide; everything simply changed.
What could have happened? They had thought their lives would be beautiful all the way, but no; things turned sour, and they couldn’t believe it. Some of them have come to even accept that life is that way; “it’s full of ups and downs,” they say. But they’re wrong! Jesus said, “...I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain...” (John 15:16). That means endless prosperity; your success shouldn’t be short-lived.

Think about David: the Bible says he died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honour (1 Chronicles 29:28). It was the same thing with Abraham. There’re men and women described to us in the Bible who were rich, influential, powerful, successful, and served God in righteousness till their days were over; they had a great life all the way.

You can live in abundance every day. That’s God’s plan for you. Don’t live in the past; don’t be among those who’d say, “I used to be very rich, but things went bad.” Be at the cutting edge of everything! Be ahead of your generation, through adherence to spiritual principles revealed to us in God’s Word. And when you’re successful, you don’t have to be afraid about whether or not your success will last, because the Bible says, “…the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). That’s endless prosperity. Let this be your consciousness and cogitation always.

Confession...
The Lord God is the source of my prosperity! I’m established in His righteousness, planted in the house of the Lord; therefore, I flourish like the palm tree, with grace and glory! I bring forth fruit in season, and out of season, because I’m like a tree planted by the waters, ever in blossom. Glory to God!

Protect Your Heart From Anger - Friday, July 15

Pastor Chris

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul (Proverbs 22:24-25).

As a child of God, not only is the Word of God your life, the Word also gives you a way of life. We’re cultured by the Word; our character is moulded by the Word. For example, with the Word of God, you can rid your heart of anger. There’re those who can’t control their temper. It doesn’t matter how long they’ve prayed about it, they’re still very full of rage; little things infuriate them and make them exhibit such anger that’s unbecoming of a Christian.

The only solution for such people is to re-culture themselves with the Word. The Scriptures admonish that you shouldn’t make friends with an angry man, lest you learn his ways. You don’t need anger in your life. Many use anger to intimidate and terrorise others, and it’s wrong. God says, “Don’t do it.” You may be a leader at whatever level, whether at home, in your organization, church, community, etc.; walk in love, and you won’t need to use anger to control people.

Try not to raise your voice in correcting those who are under you. Address them in love; use gracious words. When you speak harshly and angrily to people, you may think you’re making them unhappy; but in the real sense of it, you’re making yourself unhappy. When others offend you, be quick to let go. The Bible says it’s a sin to be angry for long: “If you are angry, don’t sin by nursing your grudge. Don’t let the sun go down with you still angry—get over it quickly; for when you are angry, you give a mighty foothold to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26-27 TLB).

Ecclesiastes 7:9 says, “Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.” Only the foolish are quick to get angry and allow the anger linger for a long time. Protect your heart from anger. Keep bitterness, wrath, malice and hatred away from you. Walk in love. If you’ve been given to quick and unrestrained anger, it’s time to call yourself to order. Meditate on the Word; confess the Word over your temperament, and become kind, full of love, patient, and self-controlled.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word, and its ability to transform me from glory to glory. My heart is full of love, and I give myself wholly to the Word, to walk in your righteousness always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

James 1:19-21 GNB
Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry. 20 Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose. 21 So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you.

Proverbs 29:11 GNB
Stupid people express their anger openly, but sensible people are patient and hold it back.

Proverbs 14:29
[He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding: but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

Be Zealous For The Lord - Thursday, July 14

Pastor Chris

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent (Revelation 3:19).

There’re Christians who are laid-back spiritually; they’re lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. They think of themselves as “normal” Christians. They jeer at some others as “too spiritual” or fanatical, but they themselves are spiritually inactive, lethargic and complacent about the things of the Spirit.

The Lord’s disposition towards such spiritual lassitude and ineffectiveness is revealed in Revelation 3:15-16. He said, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold nor hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” This is serious, coming from the lips of the Master.

A Christian who remains lukewarm could end up going to hell. Every one of us must take a stand for the Gospel and be effective in our Christian walk. Be on fire for the Lord. Lukewarm Christians are usually expressionless, even during worship in church; they’re just there. Everyone else could be dancing to the Lord, exuberant with worship and praise, but they would be wondering, “What are they dancing about? What’s all the excitement about?” No matter what the Pastor does or says, even when everybody else is laughing, they’re straight-faced.

When the Pastor says, “Let’s worship the Lord with our hands lifted,” their hands don’t go up; they lack the enthusiasm to truly worship God. If you’ve been that way, the Lord says, “Be zealous therefore, and repent.” To be zealous means to be afire. It means to let your spiritual fire burn with unquenchable intensity. The Lord Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

Let the things of the Spirit excite you. Get into the flow of the Spirit. Be known as a burning and a shining light. Be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).

Prayer...
Dear Father, the zeal for the things of the Spirit and for the expansion of your Kingdom has consumed me. I’m a burning and a shining light; I’m fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, putting on righteousness as a breast plate, with my feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. I’m full of passion for extraordinary impact with the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You Don’t Need To Ask Him - Tuesday, July 12th .

Pastor Chris

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them (Mark 11:24).

More often than not, people think the purpose for prayer is asking God for things. Prayer isn’t about asking God for things. It’s just that the word, “Prayer” is a generic word, but many only look at one of its synonyms, which is to ask or make requests; but there’s more to prayer than making requests and entreaties. The higher purposes of prayer have nothing to do with asking for things.

Due to the misconception of the purposes of prayer, when some Christians read our opening scripture above, the next thing that comes to their minds is making requests of God. But that scripture needs to be well understood. Jesus didn’t say, “What things soever ye ask for, when ye pray…”; He said, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray….” He didn’t say you should ask!

This means, when you’re praying, whether in praise or in worship, and you have a desire, just believe that that desire has been granted you. You don’t need to ask Him! The Bible says, “…for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matthew 6:. He knows what you desire; He knows your heart. Therefore, your times of prayer aren’t times of asking Him for your desires, yet you can receive anything during prayer.

Prayer primarily is a fellowship; it’s communication with your heavenly Father. As you fellowship with Him, because He knows exactly what’s on your mind, you say, “Thank you Lord, for they’re granted!” You may not even mention them, but your Father who sees the heart, will grant your desires.

Practise this from now on, if you haven’t been praying like this. As you speak in tongues in fellowship, praising and worshipping the Lord, receive whatever you desire of Him. Don’t speak them out, but you must be specific and declare that they’re granted you. This is a principle in the Kingdom of God; practise it, and you’d be amazed at the result. Praise God!

Prayer...
Precious and loving Father, how awesome is your Name in all the earth! Your love reaches to the heavens; your faithfulness is everlasting. You feed all humanity from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. As I enjoy a rich time of fellowship with you in prayer today, I receive all my heart’s desires, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
