SUNDAY 10 SEPTEMBER


YOU ARE THE LIGHT: PERSONALIZE IT

 

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them (John 12:36 )

 

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME


Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:14: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." The world is in darkness, but you're the light of the world. In John 8:12, Jesus said, "..l am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

 

He also said in John 9:5, "As long as l am in the world, I am the light of the world." Remember Jesus has ascended to heaven; therefore, we're now the light of the world because we live in His stead; He lives in us and reigns through us.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:5 says, "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness." Being children of light means we're light. You might say, "Pastor Chris, isn't that a conjecture?" Read Paul's beautiful revelation in Ephesians 5:8; it says, "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light."

 

Notice that it says we used to be darkness, but now we are light in the Lord. Blessed be God. As long as you're in this world, you're the light of the world. This should be your declaration! As long as you're in that family, that school, town, community, city, or that region, you are the light You have to personalize it.

 

PRAYER


Dear Father, I thank you that I am the light of the world, illuminating, enlightening, revealing and manifesting the glory, manifold graces, beauties and perfection of divinity to my city, state, nation and region. I'm a city set on a hill that can't be hidden. I'm making the Name of the Lord Jesus known and bringing men and women into righteousness. Amen.

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
