_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Thursday, July 16th 2026_ *NO GROPING IN THE DARK* _(In You Dwells The Light Of Life)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *John 8:12* _“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’“_ *LET’S TALK* John described Jesus as *”...the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world”* (John 1:9). There are other lights in the world, but Jesus is the true light! As long as you’ve received Him into your heart and follow Him, you’ll never again walk in darkness. Why is that? It’s because the true light now shines from within you. Light is that which describes; in other words, it shows you what exists. If you entered a pitch dark room, with no flicker of light, even though that room may be beautifully adorned with state-of-the-art décor, furniture and electronic gadgets, it would be impossible for you to see and appreciate their beauty. That’s because there’s no ...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Thursday, July 16th 2026_ *TRAIN YOUR SOUL TO FOLLOW YOUR SPIRIT* _And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…_ *(Romans 12:2)* When Paul said in Romans 1:9, *“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son…,”* he expressed something profound: we serve God with our spirits. But there's another vital part of your being—your soul, the arena of your mind, will, and emotions.Your mind shouldn’t rule you. Your emotions shouldn’t rule you. Your will shouldn’t rule you. Instead, they must come under the influence of the Holy Spirit and be brought into subjection. In the Old Testament temple, the soul corresponds to the holy place, where the priests ministered. And what was their primary responsibility? Teaching. The priests were custodians and instructors of the law. This shows that your soul must be taught. Your mind must be trained with the Word. Your emotions must ...

_Learn to live above circumstances, rise above criticism, don't sink down to the oppostion's level. They are not worth losing your peace over; you are bigger than any challenge that may come your way._  _Understand that God works best where there is an attitude of faith, peace and expectancy, not an attitude of worrying and strife. Don't let people pull you into a strife and fight and get you you all upset and gossiping. Don't get involved in a fight you shouldn't be in. There is only one fight you should be in- it's called the good fight of faith. You can't make anyone do what is right consistently, only God can as he or she yields his or her will to God!_ _You might as well enjoy your life while God is in the process of changing things in the lives of people around you as you change your perception about them. Don't just use your faith to try to get rid of all your challenges, use your faith to remain calm and peaceful amidst the challenges...

_Don't give problems energy to expand through your thoughts and words. Stop overthinking! Know that your capabilities are limited only by your thinking, not by your circumstances. Life is not a result of circumstances, but a product of decisions. Your circumstances don't make you, your decisions make you._ _Success is a few simple disciplines practised everyday; while failure is simply a few indisciplines repeated everyday._ _The quality of your life is to a large measure determined by the quality of your habit. Your life will not be any different from your habits. Create new habits that set you up on the path of success and stick to it, consistency is the key. Don't let laziness take over. Remember, you said this year would be your year, so get it together. God is with you! It's not important who is ahead of us or who is behind us. What really matters in life is who is with us._ Click on the link below to study the yesterday's Daily Juice  👇👇👇 https:...

🔴The rapture of the Church is different from the second coming of Christ.  🔴By the way, you will not really find the word ‘RAPTURE’ especially in the older translations [of the Bible], because rapture means ‘to catch away’, ‘to take away’, ’to be caught up’, but you’re going to find that term [‘to be caught up’] even though you don’t find the word ‘RAPTURE’ in itself.  🔴Let’s talk about where these things are in the scriptures, so that we can distinguish between them, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.  📖In 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, reading from verse 13, the words of Paul the Apostle: “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we, which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord...

JULY 5 2026 REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD This first Sunday of the second half of the year is the half year thanksgiving. Psalm 50:14-15 When the scriptures tell us about thanksgiving, it's not just in words. Thanking is important that way definitely..and the Bible does tell us about using words in praise, in thanking God..but then when he talks about thanksgiving He refers to more than just saying THANK YOU. V14: The Hebrew word translated THANKSGIVING is the same word "THANK OFFERINGS". (2 chro 29:31) The word is TODAH. It is the offering that you bring to God to say THANK YOU.  what you do is give to the Lord a thanksgiving Offering.  Yesterday, 4th July was a special day for America. It was their 250th Anniversary. I congratulate the citizens and the president of the United States, Donald J Trump. They have been the greatest country in the world for 250 years. That's the country in the world that everybody wants to go into.  It's been successful ...
