_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Saturday, September 19th 2026_ *FAITH IS A VERB* _(Act Like You’ve Already Received)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Hebrews 11:1* _“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”_ *LET’S TALK* Faith, the Bible says, is the substance of what you hoped for, and the title-deed of unseen realities. In other words, faith means that the things you were hoping for are now your present-hour possession. This is where the demonstration of faith comes to play. If it’s true that what you hoped for is now yours, then you ought to act that way. For example, you might have prayed to God for something concerning yourself, believing He’d do it.  If you truly believe that God heard your prayer, then you shouldn’t come back tomorrow and pray about the same thing again. You should now begin to act like someone who has received from God: that’s how to put your faith to work. That’s what Marcus’ Dad is saying in the opening conversation. ...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Saturday, September 19th 2026_  *REVELATION OF DIVINE SUBSTITUTION* _For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him_ *(2 Corinthians 5:21)* The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the revelation of divine substitution. The Lord Jesus took your place so that you might take His place. This is the beauty, simplicity, and power of Christianity. God didn’t ask man to save himself or work his way into righteousness. Instead, He made the Lord Jesus the substitute for humanity.  Our opening scripture says, *“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin....”* Then the concluding portion tells us the reason God did it: that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ! Jesus never sinned, never came under Satan’s dominion. Yet, God made Him to be sin for us so that we might be made righteous. This is the great exchange.  Notice the language carefully. It doesn’t s...

🔴 Psalm 9, verse 17.  > “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God.” ❗️Don't forget God. 🔴 The wicked is talking about there, I want you to understand, it's very different the way God sees people and the way human beings see people. 🔴 You would think,  > “Oh, the wicked, he means the one that's taking a gun and killing people. The one that, you know, that the natural man describes as the wicked.”  That's what you might think. 🔴 Then you see another nice guy and say, “This is a godly guy because he goes to church.” That's not the way God sees it. ❗️As far as God is concerned, the wicked are those who are given the Word of God and don't follow it. That's how He sees them. He calls them the wicked. Because they don't walk in love. 🔴 Let me show you something else. Hold this in your mind. Look at it.  > “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God.” 🔴 Now, everyone who has...

_Life is a culmination of many small decisions. A mistake repeated more than thrice is a decision not a mistake. Refuse to associate your happiness with things or someone. You can't control someone loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean they'll treat you the same. Do not change your character in order to please them, do not contradict your principles to agree with them, do not pretend to please them._ _You have a fingerprint, live with what pleases the Lord. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean they'll value you the same. You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it's enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. You need the right people with you, not necessarily the best people. Never beg anyone to accept you for who you are. Anything you acquire through begging will require begging to maintain it._ _Life is not about the quantity of friends you have. It's about the quality of fr...

╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 18th September  *RESPOND IN FAITH!* Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm *(Mark 4:39)* Jesus and His disciples were once in a boat when a strong storm began. The wind blew hard, and the waves crashed into the boat. The disciples were afraid, but Jesus was asleep. When they woke Him, He spoke to the storm and said, *"Peace, be still!"* Immediately, the wind stopped, and the sea became calm (Mark 4:37-39). Jesus showed us how to respond to challenges---with faith, not fear. Instead of being afraid, you can speak God's Word and declare peace no matter the situation is. Hallelujah! *📖SCRIPTURE READING*  *Isaiah 41:10* Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Friday, September 18th 2026_ *THE KINGDOM HAS COME* _(Manifest Heaven on Earth)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Luke 17:20-21* _"Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, 'The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, "See here!" or "See there!" For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.'"_ *LET’S TALK* In teaching the disciples how to pray, the Lord Jesus gave them a format; He said, *"In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..."* (Matthew 6:9-10). He taught them to pray in expectation of the coming Kingdom of God because at the time, He hadn't died, and the world was being dominated by another kingdom, which is the kingdom of darkness. However, after His death, burial, and resurrection, when He met His disciples, His message to them changed. He said to them: *"All...
