TO THE BIBLE:

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in (Isaiah 26:2)

👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD

━━━━━━━━━

I'll like you to observe two things that qualify a nation to come into the gates of God. The first is righteousness. The second is that the nation must have and walk in the truth. What nation is this custodian and observer of the truth?

God's Word is Truth and His truth was given to us in Christ Jesus. Thus the Church of Christ is this nation that keeps the truth. Paul writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3:15 called the house of God which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. We belong in the Church which is the custodian of the truth. The Church is a righteous nation. We're God-like in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24)

The Bible says, "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) Everyone who has accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour has been made righteous.

In Ephesians 4:25 (AMPC), Paul highlights that we were created in true righteousness and holiness And put on the new nature (the regenate self) created in God's image (God-like) in true righteousness and holiness. If you walk with sin consciousness you wouldn't know that you're righteous. But His gate is opened to the righteous ones-the Church! What a blessing!

Peter corroborate this in his first epistle when he called us a holy wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC)

We're a peculiar nation, born in righteousness, producing fruits of righteousness and proclaiming His truth in righteousness.

PRAYER

Righteous Father, your peace and prosperity reign in the nations of the world, as we your Church, proclaim your truth and righteousness around the world. We overturn the structures, system and schemes of satanic propagation of deception and fear across the nations and we declare that your will be done in all the earth, as it is in heaven, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
