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.

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 ...

FAITH'S PROCLAMATIONS OF HEALING AND HEALTH

MONDAY, 21ST AUGUST 2023 SPEAK 🗣️ The Bible says in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead lives in me; it’s impossible for me to be brought down by sickness. I declare that I’m a new creation, born superior to Satan and all the demons of darkness. I’m an offspring of divinity and a product of Christ’s resurrection! I’m a partaker of the divine nature and I dwell in Zion; therefore, I don’t get sick. I’m born for health, success, and the glory of God! No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper because my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. I’m complete in Christ Jesus, and I’ve been perfected through my union with Him. I’ve been created for good works and predestinated for the good life; there is nothing wrong in my body. I’ve got everything I require for an excellent life, and sickness is not a part ...
