It’s Because Of Who You Are…

Friday, Nov. 14th.
-Pastor Chris

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 (1John 4:4).

When the Bible says, “Ye are of God,” it doesn't
mean you're on God's side; neither does it mean you’re a God-supporter. It means that you hail from God; your origin is in Him; and because of
this, it says you “…have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”
(1 John 4:4).
This isn't a promise, but a statement of fact. You
shouldn't be afraid of anything in this world;
you've already overcome the world, Satan, and his
demons.
Notice He didn’t say you qualify by praying or
working hard enough. What God is talking about here is who you are. You’re not an ordinary being; you're like Jesus. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as he is, so
are we in this world.” Jesus was fearless. He had no sense of lack. He lived in absolute mastery and dominion over all things.
The same life in him is what He’s given you. The same Holy Spirit that worked in Him when He walked the earth is the same that you've received.
Therefore, be conscious of who you are in Christ.
1 John 5:4 says, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world…”; that means it makes no difference the challenges or difficulties that you
face in this world; you’re a victor, because you're
born of God. They may say to you, “O, you’re not
going to come out of this one; everyone who ever
faced this situation failed.” That’s because they don’t know who you are; the reason you’ve
overcome all things is that you're born of God, and greater is He that’s in you than he that's in the world.
The devil doesn’t respect you because you’re very “holy” or because you pray a lot. But he recognizes who you are; and when you exercise your dominion and authority on the basis of who you are in Christ, he bows. Never forget what the Word of God has made you!

CONFESSION:
I’m born of God; greater is He that's in me than He that’s in the world! Divinity is at work in me; as Jesus is, so am I in this world. I'm not ordinary. I
have the life of God in every fibre of my being. I’m what God says I am! I can do all things by His
strength and ability that’s at work in me mightily.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE YOU NEED TO DO...

Thursday, November 13, 2014.
-Pastor Chris

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made
us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light (Colossians 1:12).
No Christian needs to “pay any additional price,”
outside of what Christ already paid to have an
extraordinary life and be all that God wants us
to be. Think about it: what did David do for God
to choose him and make him king of Israel?
Nothing.
What did Abraham do for God to choose him
and say, “I'll make you great; I’ll bless you and
make you a blessing, and through you and your
seed the whole world will be blessed”? Again,
like David, Abraham did nothing; it was simply
God's choice.
Moses said to the children of Israel, “God
blessed you because He loved your fathers,”
referring to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he
didn’t say it was because they did anything. It
was simply the result of His love.
What did Joseph do for his father Jacob to love
him and give him a coat of many colours? He
was one of Jacob’s many sons, but his father
just loved him. He was neither the first nor the
last child of his father; therefore, his father's
love for him wasn't preconditioned on his
position amongst the siblings. It was simply a
matter of choice, though he was the son of his
old age.
It’s the same with you today. God loves you,
and He has qualified you to be a partaker of the
inheritance of the saints in light. It’s your
heritage in Christ to enjoy your life and live
your best to the glory of God. He didn’t create
you for destruction. When Jesus hung on the
cross, He said, “It is finished.” He announced
the end to suffering for all humanity. Now,
anyone who believes in Him and accepts His
vicarious sacrifice is automatically ushered into
the transcendent life of dominion.
His sacrifice was enough. All He wants now is
for you to take advantage of His grace. Enjoy
the glory that resulted from the sufferings of
Christ. There’s nothing more you need to do
beyond what He already did.

PRAYER:
Dear Lord, I thank you for the strength that
comes to me from your Word. I thank you for
the life I’ve received, by the resurrection of
Christ from the dead. I thank you that I’m the
object of your love, and my prosperity and
wellbeing are your delight. I live in the victory
of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FOLLOW THE PRESCRIBED ORDER.

WED, 12TH NOV.
-Pastor Chris

For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD
our God made a breach upon us, for that we
sought him not after the due order (1 Chronicles 15:13).

God wants you to carry out His instructions according to the prescribed order. To do
otherwise is to walk against His perfect will, like what happened to David and the children of Israel when they didn’t follow His prescribed
order in moving the ark of God into the city of David.
David got a new cart, and two men, Uzzah and Ahio, rode in the cart together with the ark as they drove it to the city of David (2 Samuel 6:3).
Then, something significant happened. The oxen pulling the cart stumbled and the cart shook.
Uzzah tried to stop the ark from falling and when he did, he died instantly. David, baffled and afraid at what had happened, wouldn’t bring
the ark into the city anymore. They had to keep it in the house of a man named Obed-edom.
Interestingly, while the ark of God was in Obed- edom’s house, he and his family prospered exceedingly.
David couldn’t but wonder why the same ark that Uzzah touched and died would bring so much blessing to another man and his family.
Then he found out why, as he searched the Scriptures. In 1 Chronicles 15:2, God’s
prescribed order was that only the priests (the Levites) should carry the ark of God. That was God’s plan.
David, realizing their error, said to the priests and elders of Israel, “For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order” (1 Chr. 15:13). How important this is! Uzzah could have been spared, had they followed God's prescribed order.
It brings to mind the Lord’s admonition to Moses while he was to set up the Tabernacle; He said to him, “See…that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount” (Hebrews 8:5).There’s a pattern; there's away; there’s a prescribed order in doing the things of God; follow it and you'll experience His grace and blessings in your life and service of God.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for revealing your perfect will and desire to me through your Word and by your Spirit. Now and always, I serve you, not on my own terms, but in accordance with your Word. I walk in the light of your Word,
and therefore experience greater manifestations of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Use The Word For Healing And Health.

Tuesday, November 11th .
-Pastor Chris

When the even was come, they brought unto him many
that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the
spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick
(Matthew 8:16)

Someone might be in a precarious health condition and gripe, "I've prayed about this sickness; I've cried; I've
fasted, and nothing has changed; I don't know what
else to do!" Well, that's because you haven't acted on
the word." That's what God expect of you. When you act
on the word, things change. There's reality in the word
of God that's beyond science and senses.
For example, when the world says an ailment is incurable, that limitation doesn't include us, because when we lay our hands the sick, they're healed,
irrespective of the condition. We can heal all manner of
sickness and diseases dematerialize. It's like what
happened with Jesus in Bible days; they brought to Him
many that were possessed with devils, and He cast out
the spirits with His Word, and healed all that were sick.
Notice that He did it with His Word.
When He said, "Receive your sight," the man that was
born blind began to see. When He said, "Rise up and walk," at His word, the lame got up, walking and running. His word restored even those that had their limbs amputated! There's something about the Word of God!
As you read this, it's possible you have cancer in your body: All you need do is, speak the word! Say, "my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and cannot cohabit with sickness." Therefore, call its name and say, "I comand you to die in the Name of Jesus. "Say," in the Name of Jesus, I cut you out!"
It doesn't matter what the condition is; perhaps it's
lameless, blindness or some disabilities; the power of
God is available in His word. Use the Word against it.
No sickness can thrive in your body because of the impact of the divine life on your physical body. Halleluiah!

CONFESSION:
Divinity is tabernacled in my physical body! I'm a new
creation, not subject to the elements of this world. I live
the transcendent life! Divinity flows in every fibre of my
being, in every cell of my blood, and in every bone of my body! I reign over sickness, disease, poverty and lack!
I'm superior to Satan. Glory to God!

Further Study:
Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions.

thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from

their flesh.

HE CONQUERED THE WORLD AND GAVE YOU PEACE

MONDAY, NOV. 10TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27).

This is so profound! No wonder in Philippians 4:6-7 the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, writes, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” The world is looking for peace today; it’s trying to do everything to have peace, but the more it tries, the more it eludes it. The Bible says, “...when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). This is the dilemma that the people of the world are in today.
Jesus tells us in John 16:33, “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 and gave us the victory over the world. He actually “conquered” the world, and when He was through, He gave us peace. He said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you...” (John 14:27); in other words, “I’ve given you the peace that the world can’t give.”
The peace that you have in your spirit is the peace of Jesus Christ that surpasses understanding. Circumstances may not look right; everything looks like there’s trouble, yet the inexplicable and indescribable peace of God garrisons your heart and mind! The world can’t understand how come you’re so much at peace in the midst of crises. That’s the peace that Jesus gives; it gives you power over crises. It beggars understanding!

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

“See!”
Sunday, Nov. 9th
-Pastor Chris
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us
not, because it knew him not (1 John 3:1).
Our opening scripture is just so powerful! It
begins with the word “Behold,” which means,
“See!” The same word is used in 2 Corinthians
5:17, a rather emphatic word; read the entire
verse: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new creation: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.” In other
words, now that you're in Christ, “see” that all
things are now new; behold it. Glory to God!
The word is akin to a Hebrew word in the Old
Testament, “chazah,” which means to see with
the eyes of a prophet, something that others
couldn’t see. So, He says, “see it,” because
ordinarily, from the natural standpoint, with
your physical eyes, you may not see what He’s
showing you or telling you, but He wants you to
see with the eyes of the Spirit. He wants you to
“see” that you’re now strong; “see” that you're
healthy; “see” that you’re sound; “see” that
you're righteous and prosperous. See!
It matters what you see. “See” that God has
lavished His love on you, so superfluously that
you should be called His very own, His beloved.
No wonder Ephesians 1:6 says, “…he hath made
us accepted in the beloved.” See yourself in this
light and you'll never live in fear or
condemnation.
The Word of God is the True Light; the same
Word is saying to you now, “see” that you're
loved of God! “See” that you're not abandoned
and forsaken! “See” that He’s with you, and in
you, to lead and guide you triumphantly through
life. Halleluiah!
CONFESSION:
I’m strong and courageous! I see glory, victory,
success and triumph all around me. I see with
the eyes of the Spirit, through the Word, my
glorious heritage in Christ, and my heart greatly
rejoices, for in Him I see my salvation, strength,
victory, and courage, righteousness! Halleluiah!

"NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD!"

SATURDAY, NOV. 8TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is (1 John 3:2).

How inspiring this is! The Word says, “Now are we the sons of God.” This is the reality. This scripture is already fulfilled in you if you’re born again; it's not something that's going to happen after the rapture of the Church or when we get to heaven; no! NOW are we the sons of God; it's a “present truth” for you to walk in.
Let’s review the entire verse: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” The underlined portion lets us know that though outwardly, we may not look that way, we know inside us that we have the same life and nature with Him; we have the same Spirit with Him. Glory to God! What does this tell you?
It shows that as a child of God, as an associate of the God-kind, there’s really nothing more you need God to do in you or for you, because you have Christ in you. He already made you complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10); that means you’ve been perfected; nothing needs to be “added” to you, and nothing needs to be taken out. You’re complete in Him; you were born that way when you were born again.
It’s like in natural birth: when a woman gives birth to a child, that child is hundred percent human; that is, he’s perfectly and completely human! The child doesn't grow in humanity, for he’s born that way. In the same vein, when we were born again, we became sons and daughters of God; we were complete and perfected in righteousness and holiness. You're as righteous and as holy as He is, because you share His divinity. He’s your life, your call and your heritage. As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). You’re the effulgence of His glory, and the express image of His person. Therefore, walk in righteousness and holiness according to your true nature in Christ.

PRAYER:
Thank you Father, for the privilege of being your very own. I live in this reality today, manifesting your Word in every area of my life. I’m complete in Christ; there’s nothing lacking in my life, because Christ is my completeness, and as He is, so am I in this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE CARES

FRIDAY, NOV. 7TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Casting all your care up on him; for he careth for you (1 Peter 5:7).

Our opening scripture is remarkable. The Lord Himself is inviting us to cast all our cares on Him. He says,“Give me all your cares!” You don't have to worry over anything in life. Roll all your cares over to Him. You and God can't be “caring” about the same things, at the same time. If you’re going to be fretful and anxious, He can't intervene, because your worries will stop His power from flowing your way.
Refuse to care! Confess the Word and say, “I refuse to be anxious over anything. However, in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I make my request known unto God; therefore, His peace that surpasses all understanding garrisons my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.”
Perhaps you're a parent, you have your son or your daughter away somewhere, and you think he or she might be in danger. Instead of crying out in fear, “Oh God, I don't know what's happening…”; say, “Father, I thank you because I know that you care! You’re in charge; therefore, my child is protected.”
Confess that God cares! Be conscious that He cares. Jesus Christ was so conscious of the Father; He spoke of Him all the time. I have that consciousness! He says, “I will not leave you fatherless” (John 14:18), and He sent the Holy Spirit to take care of us, because He cares. We’re not fatherless. There's someone who cares for you; He's your heavenly Father. He cares about every detail of your life; He cares about everything that pertains to you. He perfects all that concerns you, and you're important to Him; He knows your name.
No matter the situation, get into your closet, shut the world out, shut the pain out, shut the tribulation out and lift your hands and say, “I have a Father, the Almighty; He’s King of kings and Lord of Lords, and He cares for me.” You’re not alone;greater is He that’s in you than all the troubles in the world.

CONFESSION:
I cast all my cares on you, blessed Lord, because I know you love me and care for me affectionately. I refuse to be discouraged, irrespective of the challenges that come my way, because I trust in the efficacy of your Word. Greater is He that’s in me, than he that's in the world. Halleluiah!

Romans 8:35-39 Living Bible (TLB)
35 Who then can ever keep Christ’s love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or destroyed, is it because he doesn’t love us anymore? And if we are hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, has God deserted us?
36 No, for the Scriptures tell us that for his sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day—we are like sheep awaiting slaughter; 37 but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us enough to die for us. 38 For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels won’t, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God’s love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, 39 or where we are—high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean—nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us.

The Lord Jesus, in His earth walk, went about the cities and villages teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing the sick and
diseased among the people.
The Bible says He saw the multitude and was moved with compassion for them because they were weary and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd (Matthew
9:36). That's the reason He asked the disciples to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers to reap the bountiful harvest of souls around the world. You're
that man; you're that woman; you're a co-labourer with the Lord.
In 1 Corinthians 3:9, Paul said, "For we are labourers together with God..."; that means every Christian is a co- labourer with God in building lives, and saving souls. John 3:16
Says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God sent His Son Jesus to save the world, and you're a partner with Him in the project.
He already granted you the grace for an effective soul- winning life, and in 2 Corinthians 6:1, He implores you not to receive that grace in vain: "We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." Acts 1:8 says, "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."
The Holy Spirit, who is the Lord of the harvest, lives in you today. Take advantage of His grace and power in you to be an effective witness of the resurrected Christ!
Recognize and take your place as a co-labourer with the Lord. Fulfil your calling every day, as a soul-winner and a soul-builder.

PRAYER:
Dear Father , I thank you for your grace and power at work in me to be effective in soul-winning. As a minister of reconciliation and steward of the mysteries of Christ, I faithfully take the light of your glorious Gospel to my world, and to the regions beyond, transforming and building lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

without me ye can do nothing. 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

THE EPISTLES OF CHRIST IN FLESH

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 5TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever (1 Peter 1:23).
The man in Christ is born of the Word of God. That makes him an offspring of the Word. James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” God gave birth to you by the Word of truth, as the first and the best of everything He made. It’s so that you’re aware, and walk in the consciousness of your status in Christ.
Now, since Jesus is the Word of God in flesh, it means you’re also the Word of God in flesh. 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 says, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men. Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.”
Did you see that? You’ve been manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ. The epistle of Christ is the Word of Christ—the Word of God.
Therefore, you’re the epistle of Christ in flesh; which means you’re the Word of God in flesh. This is the revelation of the new creation! This is the revelation of true Christianity! True Christianity is the out-working of the Word in you. When you talk, it’s the Word; when you act, it’s the Word. Your life is the revelation of the Word.
Recall part of what we read: we’re manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, known and read of all men. Meaning that, as they look at us, they literally can read the Word of God. No wonder we’re the effulgence of His glory, the manifestation of His righteousness. When we show up, Christ shows up. As He is, so are we in this world. We make manifest the savour of His knowledge, wisdom, grace and power, in every place. Blessed Be God!

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for making me your living epistle, known and read by all men. My life is the revelation of your Word; your knowledge, grace, power, wisdom and righteousness are unveiled in, and through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Victorious Life.

Tuesday Nov. 4th, 2014.
-Pastor Chris

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

Being born again, you’re born into a spiritual kingdom. This spiritual kingdom is greater than the physical world; it actually rules the physical world. For instance, if you were asking God for a job or a child, promotion, etc., He’ll make it available to you in the spirit-realm. If you can take a hold of it in the realm of the spirit, nothing can stop it from manifesting physically. However, many "’t know how to get things done in the realm of the spirit.
The Bible tells us to walk in the spirit (Galatians 5:16). How do you walk in the spirit? It’s by walking in the Word. Jesus said in John 6:63, “...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” Thus, living the victorious life is living in the Word. This doesn’t mean there’ll be no crises, or that you won’t face any trouble in life; rather, when they come, they’ll be “bread” for you: you’ll walk on in glory. Halleluiah! When you realize this and function accordingly, the victorious life won’t be a mystery but a day-to-day experience for you.
There’s more to life than what your physical eyes can see. 1 Corinthians 2:12 says, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” As you give attention to God’s Word, the Holy Spirit unveils to your spirit the realities of the victorious life in Christ. This is God’s desire for you. He said through the Apostle Paul: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2). Living victoriously every day is as simple as saying “Yes” to God’s Word, and acting accordingly.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for my victorious life in Christ. I make full proof of what Christ did for me, living triumphantly every day, in His Name, and for your glory. I can never be disadvantaged because I live in God’s Word, which produces in, and for me, the result of what it says, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE VERY ESSENCE OF CHRIST

MONDAY, NOV. 3RD, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you (John 14:16-17).
In our lives as Christians, the most important thing for us is our fellowship with the Holy Spirit. If you saw Jesus right now, I’m sure you’d embrace Him, bow to Him or fall at His feet in worship; I mean you’d express your love for Him in the best way possible. Well, you might as well do the same for the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is just like Jesus and He’s in you, and with you, every day.
We don’t have anything less than what the disciples had when they were with Jesus in Bible days. Not only do we have the presence of God with us, we have Him in us, in the Holy Spirit. Until and unless that becomes a present-hour consciousness in you, your Christianity would be no more than a religion.
Recognize the Holy Spirit, not only as a real Person, but also as the very essence of the Christ. Without the Holy Spirit, there’d have been no Christ; Jesus wouldn’t be all that He was; everything you love about Jesus wouldn’t be there. The revelation of God; the expression of His nature, love, character and grace that you find in Jesus is all in the Holy Spirit as well. Everything you love or admire in Jesus is in the Holy Spirit.
Today, the Lord Jesus is in heaven, but the Holy Spirit is with us in the earth. The beautiful thing about it is we can have Him (the Holy Spirit) with us anywhere, everywhere, all the time. The disciples didn’t have this privilege; they couldn’t “take Jesus home” with them physically. But when the Holy Spirit came, He took the place of the ascended Christ. Now, we don’t miss Jesus, because He makes the presence of Jesus real to us. He’s the reason you can believe in the Word of God.
It’s so important that you recognize the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life. Knowing Him and walking with Him is the key to the successful and supernatural life in Christ.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the immeasurable blessing of having the Holy Spirit live in me. I acknowledge His presence, and take advantage of His awesome ministry in my life, as He guides me in wisdom, to do your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A Mystery To The Angels

Saturday, October 1st
-Pastor Chris

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And
the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou
hast made him but little lower than God, And
crownest him with glory and honor (Psalms 8:4-5 ASV).

I’m ever so awed by the wisdom and greatness
of our God. To think that He’d choose us — the
new creation — to be His partners in executing
His master-plan of salvation for the world
beggars the imagination. The greatest of it all,
which the angels themselves are amazed at, is
that this great God of glory would call us into
fellowship with Himself through the Holy Spirit,
and give us the Holy Spirit to live in us. The
angels haven’t got over that yet; they’re still
seeking to understand its implication.
The angels of God are glorious beings; they
know who they are: they’re mighty, and
excellent in glory, but they’re amazed at what
God has done with us, because as glorious as
they are, God doesn’t live in them. However, as
“unworthy” as we were, He gave us a new life
and made us His living tabernacles. This is a
mystery to the angels; they don’t understand it
yet, and guess what! God chose us to explain it
to them.
Every time we preach Jesus, and teach about the
Holy Spirit, the angels listen. They love it!
Because it’s something they only know about
from the Scripture, but they don’t have the
experience; they don’t know what it’s like; so
they hear it from us. Read this beautiful verse:
“To the intent that now unto the principalities
and powers in heavenly places might be known
by the church the manifold wisdom of
God” (Ephesians 3:10).
This is the Apostle Paul writing to the Church;
we’re the ones from whom the principalities
and powers in heavenly places get to know the
mysteries of God, and His multifaceted wisdom.
The Bible lets us know that the angels would
have given anything to be in on this (1 Peter
1:12), but we’ve been chosen to explain the
mysteries to them. Since this is part of our
responsibilities as God’s children, it means we
must know the Word, live in the Word, and live
out the Word, as the expression of the living
Word.
PRAYER
Dear Lord, I thank you for the privilege of
insight into the mysteries of your eternal
Kingdom. I’ve become a dispenser of the
unsearchable riches of Christ. Through me, your
wisdom is manifested, your grace is showcased,
and the love of Christ is demonstrated to my
world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A HAPPY, GOOD LIFE!

FRIDAY, OCT. 31ST, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it (1 Peter 3:10-11).
It’s so inspiring to know that as a child of God, you can be at the top of your game and live a glorious life; a life that you can be happy about, every day. Some people aren’t happy with their lives and as a result, they blame others, the government, their environment, or their neighbours for their seeming misfortune; that’s not going to change anything.
To be the absolute success that God designed you to be takes living by the Word. The Word of God unveils the fundamental principles of success that you can act upon to achieve extraordinary greatness in life. For example, our opening scripture is very instructive on how to have a happy, good life. Let’s read it again, this time, in the Living Bible Translation: “If you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Try to live in peace even if you must run after it to catch and hold it” (1 Peter 3:10-11).
Did you see that? It lets you know clearly that if you want to be happy about your life, and see good days, there’s a way to make it happen: eschew evil, and do good; go the extra mile to live in peace with all men. The Message translation says, “Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth” (1 Peter 3:10-11). Practice this. This is God giving you the recipe for a successful life: a life that’s filled up with good!
I love the Word of God because it’s our instruction manual for a glorious life; it’s the Light that guides us in righteousness, dominion, success and victory. Your life can be beautiful, extraordinary, exciting, fulfilling, exceptional, and excellent if you’d live by the Word.

PRAYER:
Blessed Father, I thank you for giving me an extraordinary life in Christ; I’m fulfilled, joyful, and excited about my life, which you’ve adorned with your beauty, glory and righteousness. I’m established by your grace, in the path of greatness, because I live by your Word. Hallelujah!

Carla stirred Jello into boiling water, added cold
water, and put the bowl with the watery
mixture in the refrigerator to set. "Didn't Dana
ask you to come over to play this afternoon?"
asked Mother after Carla had finished washing
the dishes.
Carla shrugged. "Yeah," she said, "but I don't
feel like playing with her. I'm beginning to think
she's hopeless. She always wants her own way,
and she says mean things about other kids--stuff
like that."
"Hm-m-m-m. That's too bad," said Mother.
"Well, maybe it's time to check your Jello."
Carla went to the refrigerator. "It's getting
there," she said. "It's ready for the fruit." She
added apples and bananas to the Jello while she
continued to complain about Dana.
"Tell me something," said Mother. "Dana
became a Christian just recently. Has she
improved at all since then?"
"Oh, sure." Carla nodded. "She used to be just
awful - nobody liked her. Now she's not as bad,
but she still has a long way to go."
"Like the Jello," said Mother.
"The Jello?" repeated Carla. "What do you
mean?"
"The Jello has improved since you started it, but
it has a long way to go, too," explained Mother.
"It isn't hopeless, though. In time it will be set
and ready to eat. It reminds me that Christians
don't usually 'set' all at once, either. It takes
time. As Christians grow in the Lord, they
improve in outward behavior. We need to be
patient with them."
"Maybe we can add some 'fruit' to help them."
Carla was enjoying the comparison. "Like. . .we
can pray for them, and we can be friendly."
"Good," approved Mother, "and let's remember
that you and I aren't finished yet, either. Let's
grow together."
HOW ABOUT YOU? Do you know Christians who
need a lot of improvement? Are you praying for
them? Are you helping them by being friendly
and encouraging them to attend church and
study God's Word? Do you set a good example
for them? God finishes what He starts. He'll
finish what He has begun in them--and in you.
"Being confident of this, that he who began a
good work in you will carry it on to completion

THERE'S A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

THURSDAY, OCT. 30TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

God has a purpose for your life; He has a purpose for everything that He does. In John 10:10, Jesus said, “...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” 1 John 3:8 says, “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” Then in Luke 19:10, He said, “...The son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” His purpose was very clear: He came to do the will of the Father. Like Him, you were born for a purpose; you came to do the will of your heavenly Father.
In Acts 26, we read about Saul of Tarsus, who on his way to Damascus had an encounter with the Lord. The Lord called him by name and said, “…I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness…” (Acts 26:16). God doesn't do anything without a purpose. The reason He appeared to Saul, who later became Paul, was to make him a minister and a witness, so that he (Paul) would take the Gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 26:18).
Have you discovered your purpose? Do you know why you were born? If you haven't found out, you can do that today! Be bold to ask the Lord; He'll tell you. He could also speak to you expressly as He did to the Apostle Paul. He also guides you to that purpose as you walk with Him, and do the things He’s called you to do.
You weren’t born for nothing. You were born for the glory of God. You were born to walk with Him and bring Him honour. He planned from the beginning that you’d serve Him and live unto Christ. Let that purpose become established in your heart today. Take a hold of that revelation: the divine vision to bring Him glory; and you'll experience tremendous growth and success in your life, and in all that you do.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, your purpose for my life is established in my heart. I was born to bring you glory and honour. I live to fulfil my destiny in Christ, taking a hold of the divine vision and revelation to bring you glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

9 It is he who saved us and chose us for his holy work not because we deserved it but because that was his plan long before the world began—to show his love and kindness to us through Christ.
Acts 26:16-18 Living Bible (TLB)
16 Now stand up! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and my witness.

Yes, I am going to send you to the Gentiles 18 to open their eyes to their true condition so that they may repent and live in the light of God instead of in Satan’s darkness, so that they may receive forgiveness for their sins and God’s inheritance along with all people everywhere whose sins are cleansed away, who are set apart by faith in me.’

Use The Word To Deal With Anger.

Wednesday, Oct. 29th .
-Pastor Chris

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath (Ephesians 4:26).

One of the beauties of God’s Word is its practicability.
You can practise the Word in any area of your life, and
it'll produce lasting results. For example, our opening
verse that we just read: this should be something you
practise consciously. Some people are not easy to be
entreated when they’re angry; they cast off all restraints
and even hold the grudge for a long time. Don’t be that
way; use the Word to deal with anger.
Not allowing the sun to go down upon your wrath
means if you're angry about something, you deal with it
right away, that same day. Never find yourself still
angry about the same thing for a protracted period. The
Bible says anger dwells in the bosom of fools
(Ecclesiastes 7:9) and you're not a fool.
Unrestrained anger is a satanic manipulation you must
not give room for in your life. People who pander to such
anger give opportunity for the demon of anger to take a
hold of their minds. In walking with the Lord, one of the
things He seeks to accomplish is to have His love fully
expressed through you, such that you're meek, kind and
not easily provoked. Nobody with a bad temper ever
succeeds permanently in life.
Remember Moses, God testified of him to be the meekest
man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3).
Nevertheless, when Moses yielded to anger, it cost him
his ministry.
God had told him to speak to the rock to bring out water
for the children of Israel (Numbers 20:8), but because he
was angry at the stubbornness of the Israelites, Moses
struck the rock twice. Water still came out,however, but
God wasn't pleased (Numbers 20:11). He then said to
Moses, “For this reason you will not take the children of
Israel in to the Promised Land” (Numbers 20:12). Moses
was “fired” because of his anger.
Offences will come, according to the Bible; people will do
things that may hurt or offend you, but never allow
anger provoke and make you react in a way that you’ll
regret. Stay in the Word and walk in love.

CONFESSION:
The wisdom of God guides me to talk and live right
always; manifesting the righteousness of Christ! I have
a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of
great price. I’m patient, compassionate and kind; and I
demonstrate the love of God to my world today. Amen.

him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have
taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down
the net.

and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you
up, and to give you an inheritance among all them
which are sanctified.

anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

HIS WILL AND PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSED IN HIS WORD

TUESDAY, OCT. 28TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children (Hosea 4:6).

The will, nature, and purpose of God are revealed in His Word. To neglect the Word is to be in the dark about the will of the Father, and how He wants you to live. This is one reason you must know the Word for yourself. He said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”: the knowledge of God’s Word. So you see, God’s people can fail in life, if they’re ignorant; not because the Word is void of power. Jesus said in Mark 7:13, You have made the Word of God of non-effect by your traditions.
People who live by the traditions and wisdom of men make the Word of non-effect in their own lives; they short-circuit the power of the Word of God, making it unproductive for them. God’s Word always has power, but it loses its effectiveness in the life of the one who tries to rationalize it with human information or sense knowledge.
Let the Word be your standard, and “check system” in upgrading your life from glory to glory. You need this to become the man or woman God destined you to be. Some people have been Christians for years but don’t have information about God’s plan and purpose for their lives. They’re not sure what the will of God is concerning anything. God’s Word is His will expressed; which is why you must invest time to study and meditate on the Word, to know your inheritance in Christ.
As you get to know your heritage in Him, you also learn to take possession of what the Word of God says belong to you. Furthermore, you're also able to understand the purpose for your inheritance in Him, the reason He has blessed you so much, and how to use the blessing rightly.

CONFESSION:
Thank you Lord for granting me to be filled with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Thus, I’m able to discern and walk in your perfect will at all times. My life is the fulfilment of the destiny that you've ordained for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Peter 1:5-10 Living Bible (TLB)
5 But to obtain these gifts, you need more than faith; you must also work hard to be good, and even that is not enough. For then you must learn to know God better and discover what he wants you to do. 6 Next, learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly, gladly letting God have his way with you. 7 This will make possible the next step, which is for you to enjoy other people and to like them, and finally you will grow to love them deeply. 8 The more you go on in this way, the more you will grow strong spiritually and become fruitful and useful to our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But anyone who fails to go after these additions to faith is blind indeed, or at least very shortsighted and has forgotten that God delivered him from the old life of sin so that now he can live a strong, good life for the Lord. 10 So, dear brothers, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen, and then you will never stumble or fall away.

GUARD YOUR HEART

MONDAY, OCT. 27TH, 2014
-PASTOR CHRIS

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).

Everything God has planned concerning your life, everything you’d ever become, is in your heart. That’s why He wants you to guard your heart with all diligence. That means you should carefully and conscientiously watch and guard what goes into your heart.
Think about an orange seed; that seed carries all the potentials of an orange tree. When you place it in the right environment, it’ll produce roots, stem, branches, leaves, and finally several orange fruits, with many more seeds in them. Such extraordinary potentials are programmed into a little seed.
Now, God tells you to diligently guard your heart because there’re things that can come into your heart to change or destroy His programming of good and excellence in you. On the other hand, there’re things that can come into your heart to enable, enhance, and sustain all the glorious things He’s already programmed into your life. God’s purpose in your life is programmed into your heart. Everything you’d ever be, everywhere you’d ever go, everything you’d ever do to please God in your life, have all been programmed into your heart—your spirit—and He has given you the responsibility to do all that’s necessary to keep your heart that way.
Since He’s specific as to where you’re to mount the guard, your heart, it therefore means the problems can come through thoughts. They can come through the senses and travel through your thoughts, because the mind is the doorway to the spirit. Consequently, any information that’s going to come through your mind, must be scanned and filtered. If you allow the wrong information into your heart, you'll live a different life from that which God has planned for you. This is how people go into crime, live terrible lives, and then try to blame others for their misfortune. You’re the constructor of your life.
God's programming in you is revealed by His Word. His Word in you will change and destroy any contrary information, and prevent them from taking root in your heart. So, tend your heart; take charge of it with God’s Word! Refuse to accept thoughts and imaginations that are inconsistent with the nature, will and purpose of God.

PRAYER:
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I’m led and guided by your Word in all things and at all times. God has programmed my spirit for excellence and greatness, and as I stay on His Word, my life is regulated accordingly, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
