This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”   LET’S TALK➡️  In the ancient judicial systems of the Mediterranean, a “key” was often the unique symbol of authority given to an official to open the only available gate to a city or a treasury; without this specific key, all other attempts to gain entry were futile.

  *📜OUR MUTUAL FAITH* *Sunday, July 19th* *Pastor Chris* _*📖I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith (Romans 1:11-12 NKJV).*_ In our opening scripture, the Apostle Paul reveals a profound spiritual principle: in the Kingdom of God, faith is not always one-directional; there’s such a thing as mutual faith, faith responding to faith, faith working together to produce results.  Paul, though an apostle with extraordinary grace, didn’t see himself as the only one with faith or the only one bringing the “supply.” He recognised that as he ministered to the saints in Rome, there would also be a supply coming from them to him. It reminds of what the Bible says: the body grows by that which every joint supplies (Ephesians 4:16).  Every member has a supply, something to contribute. And when those supplies come together, the Body is strengthened. This is ...

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:24). Our opening scripture reveals the heart of the Father and His desire for us: He wants your joy to be full always! That’s because being joyful is very important in the Kingdom of God. The Bible says “A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul…” (Proverbs 17:22 TPT). Therefore, it makes no difference what happens around you or the situations you face; exude joy; rejoice evermore. The beautiful part is that our joy is of the Holy Spirit, and therefore, independent of circumstances: “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST”(Romans 14:17). We’re full of joy even in the face of adversities and persecution: “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations” (James 1:2). That means no room for frustration in your life; no room for anger, sadness, or bitterness. Only the joy of...

╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 18th July *SERVE GOD WITH REVERENCE* For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit… *(Romans 1:9)* To serve God with reverence means to serve Him with respect, love, and a sincere heart. He is not just someone we talk about; He is our loving Father, and He deserves our honor. Paul in the Bible understood this very well. He said he served God with his spirit (Romans 1:9). That means he loved God from his heart and spirit, and lived every day to please Him. As God’s child, you also should serve Him from your heart. Show reverence in the way you pray, speak, and behave. When you pray, remember you’re talking to your Heavenly Father. Be attentive and respectful, knowing He is always with you. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *John 4:23-24* But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father s...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Saturday, July 18th 2026_ *THE POWER OF IMPARTATION* _For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established_ *(Romans 1:11)* The Apostle Paul makes a remarkable statement in his letter to the Romans. He says, *“...I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift…”* (Romans 1:11). This reveals something vital: spiritual gifts can be imparted. This wasn’t a casual desire for Paul; it was a consciousness of divine ability. He knew that when he came to them, something would be transmitted. He goes further to say, *“that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me”* (Romans 1:12).  This means the impartation would take place through the working together of their faith; his faith and theirs. The things of the Spirit don’t happen by chance; they are activated by faith—conscious, active faith. Notice something else: Paul didn’t say, *“When I c...
