The Word of God has beautiful
descriptions in describing the old and
new testaments. One of such is, Mount
Sinai for the old testament, and Mount
Zion for the new. It's saddening that
many believers think that the
difference between the old and new
testaments is a blank page in their
Bibles. My question to you, my friend,
today is: Have you left Sinai? What
does Sinai represent? Hebrews
12:18-21, 'For ye are not come unto
the mount that might be touched, and
that burned with fire, nor unto
blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
And the sound of a trumpet, and the
voice of words; which voice they that
heard intreated that the word should
not be spoken to them any more: (For
they could not endure that which was
commanded, And if so much as a beast
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned,
or thrust through with a dart: And so
terrible was the sight, that Moses said,
I exceedingly fear and quake'. This was
the operation of the old testament. It
was a dispensation of fear and
trepidation! The law did two things; it
fueled sin (1 Corinthians 15:56) and it
fueled God's anger (Romans 4:15). But,
God has brought that to an end! Glory!
The present reality is this: Hebrews
12:22-24, 'But ye are come unto
mount Sion, and unto the city of the
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and
to an innumerable company of
angels,To the general assembly and
church of the firstborn, which are
written in heaven, and to God the
Judge of all, and to the spirits of just
men made perfect, And to Jesus the
mediator of the new covenant, and to
the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh
better things than that of Abel.' The
phrase, 'better things' is from the
Greek, ' kreittōn'. It means, 'more
advantageous, more beneficial to
another'. The dispensation of Grace
ushered in by Christ is more
advantageous to us. The law served to
show man his inability to meet up to
God's standard. Grace is God's
invitation to watch him make his dream
come true for your life. It's his call to
watch him accomplish in you all that
human effort, represented by the law
of Moses couldn't do. Grace has
brought about a recreation; not a
reformation of sinners! We are his
workmanship that he ordained in Christ
unto good works-Ephesians 2:10! Titus
2:14, 'Who gave himself for us, that he
might redeem us from all iniquity, and
purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.' This is what
God has made us out to be; a people
zealous of good works! You cannot
dwell on Sinai and Zion at the same
time! Dwelling on Sinai frustrates
dwelling on Zion; Grace's capitol-
Galatians 2:21! The law of Moses has
been abolished! A new law has been
enacted; the Law of love! It's God's
own life walk! Walking in love is all
about receiving God's love for you and
reflecting same! Walk in love, knowing
you are loved! # Grace # Pleroma

Today is a good day because Jesus has freed you from punishment and restored you to divine favor # grace # righteousness...
Refuse to create an avenue for spirit of excuses in your life, people that give excuse can never produce a good result.
Pleasant day to you, yes you, my beloved...

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE ERUDITE.
Tuesday, May 6th .
Pastor CHRIS
And that from a child thou hast known
the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy
3:15) .
In 2 Peter 1:5, when the Apostle Peter
said, “And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue; and
to virtue knowledge…” he used the
Greek word, “gnosis” for knowledge.
“Gnosis” is knowledge that you gain
through intellectual activity; knowledge
based on science. Therefore, he deals
here with mental prowess! God wants
you to put your mind to work; become
erudite. He wants you to acquire
intellectual knowledge, be smart and
informed. That’s why He gave you a
sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
When the Holy Ghost comes into your
life, you become sound. He brings
mental soundness and intellectual
sagacity into your life. The Bible says
that Jesus Christ is the embodiment of
all knowledge; meaning that He knows
everything about every career, field
and discipline, and can pass some of
that information to your mind; so that
everyday of your life, and in every
situation you find yourself, you'll know
what to do! Your mind will be active,
and your intellectual capability will beat
its optimal potential.
Knowledge is so important. If you
don’t have knowledge, you're going to
be a loser, even though you have faith;
you’ll be cheated. God said my people
are destroyed for lack of knowledge
(Hosea 4:6). This is why you must
study. In addition to acquiring
revelation knowledge, God also wants
you to have scholastic wisdom. He
wants you to be able to deal wisely and
excellently in the affairs of life. This
becomes a reality as you meditate
constantly on His Word: “This Book of
the Law shall not depart out of your
mouth, but you shall meditate on it
day and night, that you may observe
and do according to all that is written
in it. For then you shall make your way
prosperous, and then you shall deal
wisely and have good success”(Joshua
1:8).
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for
the inspiration, comfort, counsel,
guidance and wisdom I receive from
your Word today and always! Your
Word has made me wise unto
salvation, teaching and guiding me to
deal wisely in all affairs of life, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

UNDERSTANDING THE DEEP THINGS OF
GOD.
Monday, May 5th.
Pastor CHRIS
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth…
(John16:13) .
Prior to His ascension, the Lord Jesus
said to His disciples, “I have yet many
things to say unto you, but ye cannot
bear them now” (John16:12). He said
this, not because He was hiding certain
things from them, but because they
couldn't receive those things at the
time. Jesus reserved the job of taking
us further into the deep mysteries and
revelations of God for the Holy Spirit.
That’s what we read on our opening
verse. The disciples had to wait until
He came before they could understand
most of what Jesus talked about. What
were these things?
The Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John, chronicle the life of the Son of
God in the flesh; all what He did
before He went to the cross; the
healings and miracles that He
performed. Now, the Bible tells us why
these were written: “…these are
written, that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and
that believing ye might have life
through his name” (John 20:31). They
were written to people who didn’t
have the life of God, and didn't have
the revelation of Jesus as the Son of
God.
If you observe, the Gospels didn’t
quite tell us why Jesus had to die on
the cross, or why He was raised from
the dead. Those who lived at the time
didn’t under stand these things.
Remember that Peter rebuked the
Lord for saying He was going to die
(Mark 8:31-32). The Holy Spirit had to
come to unveil the deep things of God
to us. 1 Corinthians 2:10 says, “But as
it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us
by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God.”
Through the Holy Spirit, we discover
the things that have been freely given
to us in Christ Jesus. While the Gospels
spoke about the person of Jesus, the
Epistles, beginning from the Book of
Romans, talk about us— who we are in
Christ—our abilities and heritage in
Him! They show you God’s picture of
you as a new creation, born of the
Spirit, and superior to the devil and all
the principles of this world. Halleluiah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for flooding
my heart with wisdom, and granting
me the understanding of spiritual
realities! My mind is illumined by the
Holy Spirit to know, and take a hold of,
my inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

MAKING YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS.
Sunday, May 4th.
Pastor CHRIS
This book of the law shall not depart
out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that
thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein: for then
thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success
(Joshua 1:8).
God wants you to prosper in every
area of your life, for He delights in the
prosperity of His children (Psalm
35:27). 3 John 1:2 reveals the Spirit’s
wish for you to prosper and be in
health, even as your soul prospers. In
Christ Jesus, you’ve come into a rich
heritage; a place of divine favour. 2
Peter 1:3 tells us that the Lord has
given you all things that pertain to life
and godliness.
Indeed, when you received Christ you
were automatically catapulted into a
glorious realm of prosperity and
became an heir of God, and a joint heir
with Christ (Romans 8:17). However,
Galatians 4:1 says, "...the heir, as long
as he is a child, differeth nothing from
a servant, though he be lord of all...."
In other words, though you’re a joint
heir with Christ, and all of God’s wealth
and inestimable riches belong to you,
you have to grow in the Word unto
maturity to enjoy the benefits of your
inheritance.
This is where meditating on the Word
and putting it to work in your life
comes to play. As you meditate on the
Scriptures, the Word is seasoned in
your spirit, such that you think, talk,
and live the Word. The Bible shows
this to us as the way to make your way
prosperous: it’s by meditating on the
Word, and observing to do what it
says. Now, this isn’t just referring to
financial prosperity, but prosperity all-
round; in every aspect of your life.
The Apostle Paul, in 1 Timothy 4:15,
reiterated the same truth: "meditate
upon these things; give thyself wholly
to them; that thy profiting may appear
to all." When you meditate on God’s
Word, your progress, advancement,
prosperity, success will spread abroad,
and be evident for all to see. This
means that the extent of your success
and prosperity is entirely dependent
on you. To prosper in all you do—in
your job, family, health, finances,
marriage, etc— continually meditate on
the Word. This is His divine road map
for true and lasting prosperity.
PRAYER
I thank you, precious heavenly Father,
for my great heritage in Christ; thank
you for setting me up for a life of
endless victories, and sustained
prosperity! As I study and meditate on
your Word, my success and prosperity
are evident, and spread abroad, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES *BE
CONSCIOUS OF YOUR SPIRITUALITY!*
SATURDAY, MAY 3RD
For to be carnally minded is death; but
to be spiritually minded is life and
peace. (Romans 8:6)
In Christ, we’ve been born into a real,
authentic, functional spiritual kingdom.
That’s where we live right now. We live
in, and carry out our everyday activities
from that spiritual kingdom. However,
to enjoy the blessings that belong to
you in that realm of life, you’re
required to have adequate knowledge
of the Word and understand spiritual
principles of the Kingdom of God.
Many Christians are not yet fully
conscious that they’re in a spiritual
kingdom; they’re only conscious of that
which exists in the physical realm.
Such, for example, are hardly conscious
of the myriads of angels around and
with us. They’re yet to take advantage
of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, as He
speaks to them from within, and seeks
to guide them in all the affairs of life;
hence, they live ordinary lives.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Gospel
of the spiritual life. Romans 6:11 says,
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to
be…alive unto God through Jesus
Christ our Lord.” In other words,
reckon yourselves to be alive to the
realm of the spirit; alive to the things
of God—beyond the sense realm. The
Bible says “…to be carnally minded is
death; but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace” (Romans 8:6).
Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ
has passed from death unto life; which
means you’ve been automatically
transferred from the domain of
darkness, to the domain of life. The
Bible calls it the “Kingdom of His dear
Son” (Colossians 1:13); you live in that
Kingdom now: though you’re in the
world, but you’re not of this world.
Therefore, you can’t afford to live by
the principles of this physical world.
True and lasting success is spiritual, and
it’s based on spiritual principles.
Become conscious of the spiritual
realm, and control things from that
realm. When you focus on, and
function from, the realm of the spirit,
nothing in this physical world will be
able to hinder your success, and
victories in life.
CONFESSION
I see and experience possibilities,
victories and success only, as I keep my
gaze on the Word of God; my
affections are set only on the realities
of the spiritual kingdom to which I
belong. I live, and walk, in the full
consciousness of all that belong to me
in Christ Jesus. Glory to His Name
forever!

CHRIST : THE GLORY -LIFE!
Neither is there salvation in any other:
for
there is none other name under
heaven given
among men,whereby we must be
saved
(Acts 4:12).
There’re people who say, “I believe in
Jesus
Christ, but He's not the only
Messiah.”Any
one who professes or upholds this
belief is
ignorant of the Scriptures, for the
Word of
God is clear: salvation comes by no
other
way, through no other name, except by
the
name Jesus! You can’t believe in Jesus
Christ,
and still believe there's “another” way;
He’s
the ONLY way! He said,“…I am the
way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the
Father, but by me”(John14:6). Notice,
He
didn't say, “I am a way,” but, “I am the
way,
the truth and the life.” He was both
definite
and emphatic! It’s wrong therefore to
say
there’re other ways to God, apart from
Jesus
Christ.
Romans 1:4 tells us that Jesus Christ
was
declared to be the Son of God with
power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by
the
resurrection from the dead. No one
else has
been so described in all of history, only
the
Lord Jesus. The Scriptures firmly
declare was
raised from dead, and He’s alive
forevermore. There’s no book in the
world
that declares any religious leader to be
alive,
after death—none. When they died,
they
were finished. Only Jesus died, was
buried,
and was raised back to life by the glory
of
the Father, and physically levitated to
heaven
in His glorified bodily form.
Christianity isn't among them any
religions in
the world to join, because it isn't a
religion.
It’s the pulsating life of the risen Christ
in
the human body. It’s divinity alive in
humanity; it's Christ taking up His
abode in
the quarters of your heart. So, in
Christianity, you don't come into “a
religion”;
you come into Christ! You embraced
the
transcendent life of dominion,
excellence,
power, righteousness, and boundless
joy
that's only available in Him.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the eternal
salvation you've made available in
Christ
Jesus, the Great Shepherd; My life is
founded
in Him. I pray that today,many will
receive
that grace of God, which has brought
salvation to all men, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

THE ANOINTING OF THE SPIRIT
"The Spirit of the LORD is upon me
BECAUSE he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath
sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set
at liberty them that are bruised. To
preach the acceptable year of the
LORD."
Luke 4:18-19
Many People who have been anointed
with the Holy Ghost dont know the
reason God anointed them.A greater
number of believers all around the
world think the Holy Ghost is primarily
to help them speak in tongues but
thats not his primary purpose. JESUS
said, "But ye shall receive power after
that the Holy Ghost has come upon
you and ye shall be witnesses unto
me..." Acts 1:8 God didnt say ye shall
receive tongues, he said ye shall
receive power and one of the things
this power does it to energise you to
speak in tongues.
God has anointed us so that we can be
effective witnesses of his ressurection.
God would have us produce more than
enough evidence to the world to prove
the reality of the gospel. We are not
anointed to just shake and fall on the
ground like maniacs. No, a thousand
times no. Many people who shake and
fall claiming to do all this because of
the anointing, demonstrate the least
power. They dont preach to anyone,
they dont heal the sick or cast out
devils. These folks are misinformed
about the anointing.
The Holy Ghost has come to live in us
to enable us to do the acts of God. He
is the one that continues the ministry
of JESUS in the earth today and he
works through us and with us. We are
married to his vision. We are carriers of
God.
That portion is not saying God has
anointed us so that we can start to
deliver ourselves, and heal ourselves,
casting out devils from ourselves. No,
we have Christ in us not devils. If you
believe this message i am telling you,
THAT CHRIST IS IN YOU AND YOU
DONT HAVE DEVILS,even if you had a
legion of devils after you, they would
all leave you at once and you would go
out and start casting out devils from
sinners today. We are free people who
are sent to preach freedom, we are
healthy people who are sent to preach
healing, we are rich people who are
sent to preach to the poor. We are not
captives, we are God's free men called
to set the captives free. Many
Preachers tell their flock that they are
anointed to set the captives free and in
reference their flock are the ones who
are captives. This is very erroneous. if
you are born again and have the Holy
Ghost you are not a captive. Any
Pastor ,Prophet or Evangelist when
speaking to the saints should stand on
Eph 4:11 That says ,he is called "for
the perfecting of the saints for the
work of the ministry, for the edification
of the body of Christ". All Christians
should practise Luke 4:18-19 to
sinners. These are the captives. We
are anointed to bring them into the
kingdom. It takes power to do that.
People who are on fire for God are not
those who shake and fall in church
trying to get the attention of the
people as if God is doing a wonder
through them. Most of these folks dont
even give a tithe in church. People who
are on fire for God are known for
declaring the gospel. You can not be on
fire for God and be quiet about JESUS.

FROM DISTRESS ... TO GREATNESS
"...Every one that was in distress, and
every
one that was in debt, and every one
that was
discontented, gathered themselves
unto him;
and he became a captain over them:
and
there were with him about four
hundred
men" (1 Samuel 22:2).
Our opening verse describes the
condition of
the Isrealites who gathered
themselves unto
David; a rendezvous of broken people;
they
were down and out when they came to
David.
They were behind in their finances,
dissatisfied, unhappy, uncomfortable
and
discontented. These were the men
that
gathered unto David. Before then,
David had
been anointed by the Spirit, through
Samuel
the Prophet (1 Samuel 16:12-13).
These men
gathered to him, because they knew
the
anointing of God was on him. They
knew that
the anointing of the Spirit could change
their
situation for good.
When you read further into the
twenty-third
chapter of first Samuel, you'd find that,
several years later, their hitherto
disgruntled
state had changed. From being in
distress,
debt, and discontent, they became
David's
mighty men (2 Samuel 23:8). When it
was
time to give for the building of the
temple,
these same men who were once in
debt, had
become so prosperous, and gave
bountifully
for the construction of the Temple (1
Chronicles 29:6-7).
The same thing happens today as we
minister
the Word to many around the world.
Those
who receive the Word we share, no
matter
how miserable and dire their
circumstances
had been, the Word takes them out of
obscurity to greatness. The anointing is
on
the Word to transform lives and set
men up
for greatness. It reminds me of when
we first
started out years ago. Those who came
to us
were those who some thought were
too
carnal, broken, dejected or lost to be
transformed. However, we had the
anointing
that made the difference. Today, their
stories
have changed, and the same people
are
doing great and mighty things for the
Lord
all around the world.
Isaiah 32:15, says, "Until the spirit be
poured upon us from on high, and the
wilderness be a fruitful field, and the
fruitful
field be counted for a forest." The Holy
Spirit brings the anointing into your life
and
makes you productive, through the
Word. He
turns your wilderness into a fruitful
field; He
causes water to spring up from your
desert.
With the Holy Spirit, your experience
will be
that of productivity, growth, increase,
expansion and progress in every area
of your
life!
CONFESSION
The Lord has set me apart for
greatness! The anointing that I've
received
abides in me forever, teaches me all
things,
and makes me fruitful and productive
in all
my endeavours, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

IT'S YOUR NATURE TO LOVE!...!
WEDNESDAY-:¤30TH-:¤APRIL-:¤2014
WITH*«PASTOR ANITA OYAKHILOME*»
A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one
another {John 13:34}.
In the Old Testament, God gave the
Israelites several commandments,
which they had to obey as a condition
for enjoying the blessings of the
covenant. However, when Jesus came,
He brought in a new ommandment,
which is love. He said, "A new
commandment I give unto you, That
ye love one another; as I have loved
you, that ye also love one
another" (John 13:34). He gave this
commandment before His crucifixion.
He commanded His disciples to love
one another because love, for them,
was an outside force. Thus, He had to
give them a law to walk in love.
But then, the Bible tells us something
striking in 1 Timothy 1:9, that "…the
law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for
the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy
and profane, for murderers of fathers
and murderers of mothers, for
manslayers...." Now, after giving His
disciples the love commandment, He
proceeded to die on the cross for us,
and God raised Him back to life. "…
Thou art my Son, today have I
begotten thee" (Hebrews 5:5). Today,
everyone who believes in Him receives
eternal life, and becomes a new
creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
In Him, we’ve been made the
righteousness of God (2 Corinthians
5:21), so the law isn’t applicable to us
because it was made for the
unrighteous, but we are righteous. By
making us new creations, He made it
possible for us to receive the Holy
Spirit, and the Bible says, "…the love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by
the Holy Ghost which is given unto
us" (Romans 5:5). Love isn’t alien to
us; it’s not an outside force; it’s our
nature to love.
If you’re born again, you’re born of
love; the Father has deposited His love
in your heart; therefore, you can love
the same way He does, for it’s your
nature to love.
PRAYER::::::}
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for
your blessed Word and its power in my
life. Thank you for your love-nature in
me, which makes it natural for me to
walk in love and manifest your love to
others, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

LIVE IN, AND BY,THE WORD.

TUESDAY,APRIL 29TH,2014.
~Pastor Anita.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and
superfluity of naughtiness, and receive
with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls (James
1:21).

The only material given to you to build
your life is God’s Word. There’s no
hope for anyone who ignores the
Word, for the Word of God is life.
Proverbs 13:13 says “Whoso despiseth
the word shall be destroyed: but he
that feareth the commandment shall
be rewarded.” To ignore the Word is to
set one’s self up for extreme
disadvantage in life.
Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge….”
You need the knowledge of the Word
to be effective in life and know all
that’s been made available to you in
Christ Jesus. Acts 20:32 says, “And
now, brethren, I
commend you to God, 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.
” There’s no other way: the Word of
God is the only means through which
faith—the God kind of faith—can be
imparted to your spirit.
Every Christian must open his heart to
hear and receive the Word. Our
opening verse admonishes that we “…
receive with meekness the engrafted
word….” Those who ignore the Word
have their joy short-lived. If you ever
find yourself unhappy, unfulfilled or
disoriented, stay in the Word; interpret
and respond to situations on the basis
of God’s Word. Have a rapacious
appetite for the Word, and apply it to
your personal life. Always,
make adjustments in your life in line
with the counsel and wisdom you
receive from the Word.
The Word is for you to live by; we’re
Word practitioners; we do what the
Word says.
That’s the way to experience the
blessing of the Word in your life.
James 1:22 says, “Be ye doers of the
word and not hearers only.”
Living in, and by, the truth of God’s
Word means you’ve set yourself up for
an eternal journey of glory and success.

PRAYER.

My heart is open to receive the
engrafted Word with meekness, faith,
and gladness. The Word is effectual in
me today, producing the fruit of what it
talks about, changing me, and ordering
the circumstances of life to align with
God’s purpose and destiny for me, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY.
Romans 12:2(CEV).
Don't be like the people of this world,
but let God change the way you think.
Then you will know how to do
everything that is good and pleasing to
him.
James 1:25(CEV).
But you must never stop looking at the
perfect law that sets you free. God will
bless you in everything you do, if you
listen and obey, and don't just hear
and forget.

Faith Receives Now! - Monday April
28th, 2014 - Pastor Chris
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my
name: ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full (John 16:24).
The Bible says that God knows what's
in your heart; He knows what you
need, even before you ask Him
(Matthew 6:8). Now, if He knew your
requests before you asked, it means
He also already had the answer
prepared. However, He requires your
faith to make that answer real to you.
The responsibility to receive is yours.
Faith isn't just based on asking, but
also on receiving. Mark 11:24 says,
"Therefore I say unto you, What things
soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye
shall have them."
Many know how to ask, but they don't
know how to receive. At the point of
asking in prayer, you're to believe that
you've received what you've asked for;
that's faith! But if you're hoping that
God will answer your prayer someday,
that won't work, even though you
believe it. So take possession now;
declare that the healing, blessing or
miracle you desire is yours now! Faith
receives now! You say, "Father, I've
asked for such-and-such, and I receive
it NOW in the Name of Jesus."
Remember that you don't have to see
what you've received with your
physical eyes first to know they're
already yours; once you've taken
possession with your spirit, soon
enough, they'll show up physically.
Faith is the substance of things hoped
for, and the title deed of unseen
realities. In other words, faith calls real
and done that which you hope for.
Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen." That
means the things you hoped for are
now your present-hour possessions.
Faith doesn't try to get something to
happen; rather, faith knows and
accepts that it has happened, and
confesses and endorses it to be so
now. Faith takes possession NOW!
CONFESSION:
My faith is producing results; I walk in
divine health, victory, dominion, and in
the power of the Spirit today. I'm who
God says I am, I have what He says I
have, and I can do what He says I can
do. My faith is the victory that
overcomes the world.
Further Study: Mark 11:23: For verily I
say unto you, That whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed,
and be thou cast into the sea; and shall
not doubt in his heart, but shall
believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.
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

A NEW LIFE OF GLORY AND
EXCELLENCE. Sunday,April 27th .Pastor
Chris.
I will declare the decree: the LORD
hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee (Psalm
2:7).
1 Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light.” A
literal reading of this verse would give
an
impression of the new creation as one
who was called out of darkness into
God’s marvelous light, meaning he had
a past of darkness.
This, however, isn’t true as the new
creation in Christ Jesus never existed
before, and therefore has no past.
The idea of the new creation having a
past is mostly common amongst
Christians, who look at it from the
standpoint of “Once, I was a sinner,
and now I’m a saint; once I was under
the power of Satan, but now I’m free
to serve God.” However, as you grow
in the knowledge of the Word of God,
you’ll discover that when you were
born again, you weren’t taken from
the hands of Satan and put in the
hands of God; you’re actually a new
creation.
You’re not the man that was in the
darkness; that man actually died with
Christ. You were born into His
marvellous light.
Observe our opening verse closely.
Notice it didn’t say, “Thou art my son;
this day have I raised thee back to life”
no! It says, “Thou art my son; this day
have I begotten thee,” meaning, “…
this day I have given birth to
you.” It wasn’t a continuation of the
old life.
When Jesus died, He died in the spirit,
that’s why He’s called the first
begotten from the dead (Revelation
1:5), not the first to be raised from the
dead.
The Apostle Paul declared in 2
Corinthians 5:17, “…if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature.” Being
born again, you’re a new creation; a
new species—recreated in Christ Jesus
and brought into a newness of life:
“Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also
should walk in newness of
life” (Romans 6:4). No wonder the
Bible says in Colossians 3:10, “…put on
the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him that
created him.”
The life in you transcends this earthly
realm; it’s the life of Christ—life
beyond this world—a new life of
success, glory and excellence. Walk in
this consciousness today.
CONFESSION.
I’m a new creation. I’ve put off the old
man with his deeds and I’ve put on
the new man who is renewed in
knowledge after the image of God.
Therefore, my life is one of success,
glory, and excellence. Thank you for
enlightening my spirit to know and live
in the immeasurable and unlimited
greatness of your power in me!

PASTOR ANITA OYAKHILOME
LIVE FOR HIM!
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless
I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and
the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by
the
faith of the Son of God, who loved me,
and
gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).
Believing in the Lord Jesus means you
can’t
live for yourself anymore, but for Him.
This
understanding informed the Apostle
Paul’s
statement in our opening verse. When
you
were born again, you were actually
crucified
with Christ; you died in Him, and the
life you
have now isn’t yours, for He bought
you with
a price (1 Corinthians 6:20, 1
Corinthians
7:23).
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 says, “For the
love of
Christ constraineth us; because we
thus
judge, that if one died for all, then
were all
dead. And that he died for all, that
they
which live should not henceforth live
unto
themselves, but unto him which died
for
them, and rose again.” Having this
mind-set
will help you set your priorities right as
a
Christian. Being a Christian is more
than
being blessed by God or having all the
nice
things in the world; that’s living for
oneself.
Mark 8:36-37 says, “For what shall it
profit
a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and
lose his own soul? Or what shall a man
give
in exchange for his soul?” In other
words,
why would you want to live a life that
profits
you nothing before the Lord?
Refuse to be distracted or carried away
by
the world’s symbols of prosperity; live
for
the Lord and be committed to fulfilling
His
will for your life. Colossians 3:2 says,
“Set
your affection on things above, not on
things
on the earth.” The things that should
matter
to you in this life should be things
pertaining
to the Gospel. In Galatians 6:14, the
Apostle
Paul made a very inspiring statement;
he
said, “But God forbid that I should
glory,
save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by
whom the world is crucified unto me,
and I
unto the world.”
Like the Apostle Paul, consider that
you’re
dead to this world, and the world is
dead to
you. Therefore, you shouldn’t live for
yourself any more but for the Lord,
because
you died in Him.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the
entrance of
your Word has given me insight and
understanding. My heart and focus are
on
you; you’re my help, my strength and
exceeding great reward. My delight is
in you,
O Lord my God, and forevermore I will
do
your will, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Called To Sanctify .
Friday, April 25th .
Pastor Chris
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
What a profound scripture. It says,
besides wisdom, righteousness, and
redemption (riddance), Christ is also
made sanctification to us. The word
“sanctification” refers to the act or
process of making holy or setting apart
unto God for His eternal purpose. It’s
translated from the Greek word
“hagiasmos,” which means, “a purifier.”
So, the sanctifier has come to live in
you. Christ is not there trying to
sanctify you; no! He has sanctified you,
and continues to sanctify everything
you do. He’s your separator; He has
separated you from the rest of the
world, from sin and evil, unto the
glorious liberty of the sons of God.
Yesterday, we learnt about activating
wisdom by speaking wisdom; in the
same way, you’re also required to
speak your sanctification, that is, words
that cleanse. That’s why the Apostle
Paul said, “For every creature of God is
good, and nothing to be refused, if it
be received with thanksgiving: For it is
sanctified by the word of God and
prayer” (1 Timothy 4:4-5). You can
purify or sanctify anything that belongs
to you with the Word of God and
prayer.
The Lord Jesus said in John 15:3, “Now
ye are clean through the word which I
have spoken unto you.” Christ has
gone to heaven, and we’re the ones
bearing those wonderful cleansing
Words to our world today. As we
speak, people are purified; they’re
cleansed, and moved from one level of
glory to another! 1 Corinthians 2:13
says, “Which things also we speak….”
We’ve got to keep speaking words of
blessings, to cleanse and sanctify our
environment and our world.
You’ve been called to an extraordinary
life of beauty, of glory, and of a
supernatural walk with God, because
Christ—the sanctifier—is in you! He’s
one with your spirit now (1 Corinthians
6:17); and through you, He’s carrying
out His ministry of sanctifying all things
to Himself.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I rejoice today
in Christ, who is my sanctifier! I thank
you for sending Jesus to bear my sins,
present me holy and unblameable
before you, and make my life beautiful!
Thank you for making me the very
epitome of your grace, and the
testimony of your love and goodness,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

whom God would make known what is
the riches of the glory of this mystery

God your whole spirit and soul and

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

ACTIVATE HIS WISDOM IN YOU.
Thursday, April 24th.
Pastor CHRIS
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
What Paul communicates in our
opening verse is different from saying
“Christ Jesus has made me wise.”
Through the Holy Spirit, he
communicated a deeper truth, which is
that Christ Jesus is made unto you
wisdom. He didn’t just make you wise,
He’s your wisdom. How big this is! It
means your capacity is now the
wisdom of Christ; your wisdom
reservoir is Christ, so you could never
lack wisdom. The question then is,
“how do you activate the wisdom of
God in you?”
First, you have to study the Scriptures.
If you don’t know the Scriptures, you
can’t activate the wisdom of God. The
Bible says, “Deep calleth unto
deep…” (Psalm 42:7). So, the more of
God’s Word you have in you, through
intense study and meditation, the
more connection you’ll have with the
wisdom of God. If you don’t deposit
the wisdom of God in you (and the
Word of God is the wisdom of God),
you won’t know how to tap into it
when there’s a need.
1 Corinthians 2:12-13 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. Which things
also we speak, not in the words which
man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the
Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual.” To have
the wisdom of God released in your
life, you must declare that you have,
and operate in, the wisdom of God.
You must speak the wisdom of God. If
you ever find yourself in a fix, then say,
“Lord, thank you for your wisdom
that’s in me to handle this situation.”
Life will be easy and sweet when you
take advantage of the wisdom of God
for every situation. When you face
challenges, ask yourself, “What’s the
wisdom of God concerning this
matter?” and then go into sessions of
meditation on the Scriptures and
praying in tongues. As you do, wisdom
will come to you, and propel you to say
or do what is exactly right to put you
over in that situation. Christ has been
made unto you wisdom to excel, reign
and win every day in life. Have this
consciousness.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for Christ who
is my wisdom; as I study and meditate
on your Word, light floods my spirit;
my path is illumined to take steps in
wisdom, such that I walk consistently
in your will, plans, and purpose for my
life. My life is a harvest of divine joy,
peace, prosperity, health and
promotions, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CAPTURE HIS "THINKINGS"
He made known his ways unto Moses,
his acts unto the children of Israel.
Psalms 103:7
There're certain thoughts I like to
describe as the "thinkings" of God; the
way He reasons. He doesn't think the
way men do, so, it's important to know
how He thinks and why He thinks the
way He does. What are the thoughts
on His mind? Of course, when you look
in the Word of God, you can get the
answer to this question.
For instance, humans think that
morning and evening make one day.
They think the day starts when they
wake up in the morning, and ends
when they go to sleep at night; but
God thinks differently. Every time the
Word of God made direct reference to
a full day, God would always say
"evening and morning." For example,
in Genesis 1:5, God said, "...And the
evening and the morning were the first
day." He doesn't relate from light to
darkness. Rather, He thinks from
darkness into light; from evening into
morning (read Genesis 1:8, 13, 19, 23,
31).
No wonder He says, "But the path of
the just is as the shining light, that
shineth more and more unto the
perfect day" (Proverbs 4:18). Observe
He didn't say, "But the path of the just
is as the shining light, that shineth
more and more from morning into
evening." Men think that the day ends
with evening, but God says, "No; your
day goes into morning!" isn't that
wonderful! He reasons so differently;
and we're the ones who need to come
up to His ways of thinking.
If you're born again, you're born of His
Spirit. Then, the Bible says, "If we live
in the Spirit, let us also walk in the
Spirit" (Galatians 5:25). We're not only
born of the Spirit, but have also been
called to walk in the realms of the
Spirit of God. To do this, we have to be
spiritually minded. Our thinking has to
become the "thinkings" of God; it has
to be on the level of the Word of God,
not on the ordinary plane of life. We
need to learn and meditate on His
Word so that we can capture His
thoughts and His ways of doing things.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16 says, "...we have
the mind of Christ." Therefore, it's
possible for us to reason at the same
frequency with Him.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for flooding
my heart with your divine thoughts, as
I study and meditate on your Word
today. My mind is sanctified to think at
your level, and improve the quality of
my life, as I walk in your ways, with my
spirit conditioned for progress,
prosperity and excellence, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.

HEEDING INSTRUCTIONS: AN
INTEGRAL PATH TO GREATNESS.
Tuesday, April 22nd.
Pastor CHRIS
Give instruction to a wise man, and he
will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and
he will increase in learning (Proverbs
9:9).
At the beginning of the year, the Lord
said to us that 2014 is our “Year of
Greatness.” There’re certain things you
have to know to function in greatness
as the Lord has said. One of them is
holding fast to instructions. Heeding
divine instructions is an integral path to
greatness.
Joshua 3 tells us how the Israelites
camped by the Jordan, waiting to cross
the river. There, God spoke to Joshua,
Moses’ successor, who was charged
with the task of leading the children of
Israel into the Promised Land. The
Lord said to him, “…This day will I
begin to magnify thee in the sight of all
Israel, that they may know that, as I
was with Moses, so I will be with
thee” (Joshua 3:7). Then, in the very
next verse, He gave Joshua an
important instruction: “And thou shalt
command the priests that bear the ark
of the covenant, saying, When ye are
come to the brink of the water of
Jordan, ye shall stand still in
Jordan” (Joshua 3:8).
Proverbs 4:13 says, “Take fast hold of
instruction; let her not go: keep her;
for she is thy life.” Often times, God’s
instructions may not sound logical, just
like when He told Isaac, to stay back in
Gerar at a time of famine and hardship.
Everyone else was moving to Egypt,
but God instructed Isaac to stay where
he was.
Isaac heeded and prospered in that
land, in the same year of drought and
famine. Genesis 26:13 tells us that he
waxed great, made progress, grew until
he became very great. He prospered
so much that the Philistines envied
him. God’s ways are different from
man’s ways and that’s why it’s
important to listen and follow His
instructions and counsel. Never try to
reason out His instructions in your
head, for His wisdom is greater than
man’s wisdom. 1 Corinthians 1:25 tells
us, “…the foolishness of God is wiser
than men; and the weakness of God is
stronger than men.” Think about that.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for teaching
me the importance of responding
quickly to your instructions and
counsel. I wholeheartedly follow and
respond to the guidance from your
Word and the Holy Spirit on every
detail of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE HAS MADE YOU A BLESSING
And in thy seed shall all the nations of
the earth be blessed; because thou
hast obeyed my voice.
Genesis 22:18
In Genesis 12:2 God spoke to Abraham
and said, "...I will make of thee a great
nation, and I will bless thee, and make
thy name great; and thou shalt be a
blessing." You'd observe that this was
entirely God's idea. Abraham didn't
ask to be great; it was God's dream for
him. It's also important to note that
God wanted to make Abraham great so
that he (Abraham) could be a blessing.
Having been born again, you're the
seed of Abraham and that means not
only are you blessed, you're also a
blessing. God wants others to benefit
from your blessing. He already said to
Abraham, "...in thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed..."
Therefore, it's your calling to be a
blessing to your world; it's your
inheritance to effect positive changes
in this world! You're in this world as an
agent of change. Therefore, think of
ways to positively impact the world of
your time.
Many of God's people agree that God
has blessed them, but they need to
catch the revelation that they're the
embodiment of a blessing! Galatians
3:29 says "...If ye be Christ's, then are
ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according
to the promise." To be in Christ means
you're born again, and as a result, all
the blessings of Abraham are now your
present-hour possessions. You're a
bundle of blessings!
You're the temple of the Holy Spirit (1
Corinthians 3:16); that makes you the
embodiment of the fullness of the
blessings of God. That's why it's a
blessing in itself to those you meet,
because you carry the blessing of the
Gospel. Have this consciousness, and
do something today to bless your
world.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making
me the embodiment of divine blessing,
such that everything I lay my hands
upon prospers, with everyone I meet
receiving an impartation of blessings.
Thank you for a divine flow of your
blessings in me to others, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.

THE ESSENCE OF HIS VICARIOUS
DEATH.
Sunday, April 20th.
Pastor CHRIS
For to this end Christ both died, and
rose, and revived, that he might be
Lord both of the dead and living
(Romans 14:9).
The Bible lets us know that God laid
our sins, along with our sicknesses and
diseases on Jesus. He became that
brazen serpent Moses raised up in the
wilderness, which He Himself had
prophesied about "...as Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must the Son of man be lifted
up" (John 3:14). The brazen serpent
represented sin and its judgment.
He died on the cross, and to confirm
He was truly dead, a soldier thrust a
spear through His side, causing blood
and water to gush out. Suddenly, the
rocks began to crack; the earth heaved
and quaked, and darkness eclipsed the
earth for three hours. Jesus was dead!
He had been made "sin": "For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew
no sin…" (2 Corinthians 5:21). He
descended into hell. He engaged Satan
and his cohorts in a spiritual combat,
defeated them, and made a public
spectacle of them. Jesus triumphed
over Satan for all humanity!
After three days, the Son of God came
out of the grave victorious. Now, all
who believe in Him and confess Him as
Lord, become new creations (2
Corinthians 5:17), with the eminent
title of being His "brothers and
sisters" (John 20:17). This is what
Easter means to us; it’s the celebration
of the significance of Christ’s death,
burial, and resurrection; He came to
die that we may live. Following His
vicarious death for us, we’re now bona
fide children of God, superior beings,
born with His very nature and life!
Halleluiah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your love,
grace, and infinite kindness. I’m
eternally grateful for the salvation
which I’ve received in Christ Jesus—
my eternal Hero, Champion, and Lord
—in whom I have redemption through
His blood, and the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of His grace!
Thank you Lord for making me one
with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
