NEW YEAR'S EVE SERVICE WITH PASTOR CHRIS




MESSAGE OF THE YEAR

2024 IS THE YEAR OF REDEMPTION


Dictionary Definitions of Redemption:

Make amends for.

Obtain the release of something from captivity by paying the ransom.

To turn in vouchers coupons for actual value.

To release from blame or debt. 


*Let’s look at the  4 important definitions of redemption that are relevant to our discussion for this year.*


*1. TO DELIVER FROM SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES BY MEANS OF A SACRIFICE OFFERED FOR THE SINNER:

Jesus paid the redeeming sacrifice for everyone and that's what the Gospel is about- salvation for man's soul/spirit. In this salvation, He took away sins and gave us something. A lot of times, we talk of what He took away (sin, condemnation). Most people don't mention what He gave.*


*The death of Jesus was only a means to an end; it was not God’s ultimate plan.*


*His death settled the debt, satisfying the claims of justice for all men. But there was much more. Christianity does not begin with the death of Jesus but with His resurrection. Until a man believes in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, he cannot be saved.*


*When Jesus died, he died in our place. He was crucified in the place of sinners. He paid the penalty for sin. Because He paid, you don't have to pay again. There is no such thing as penance.*


*No man could ever pay for his sin. Imagine that you were owing a debt  but you couldn't pay, then another man comes to pay your debt for you.*


*So you paid, even though you didn't pay by yourself. That’s what the death of Jesus did.*


*His resurrection did something completely different from His death. Through His resurrection, He brought us justification.* 


*This means to be acquitted or declared not guilty. The payment for sins does not make you justified. In Justification, you are said to be without guilt. You are discharged and acquitted.*


*Why?*


*Because the resurrection gave you a new life. It made you a new creature; one that never existed before. That's why you are justified.*


*You are not the same man who committed the sin that was remitted. His resurrection gave you a new nature. That's what it means to be born again. The death of Jesus Christ brought a certain kind of blessing- remission of sins; while the resurrection of Jesus Christ brought us justification and eternal life.*


(Study Romans Chapter 5) 


2. TO TURN IN VOUCHERS OR COUPONS FOR ACTUAL VALUE: Did you know the scriptures that talk of Jesus’s vicarious death, resurrection, ascension and consequent priesthood are vouchers/coupons for redemption? By faith you take these vouchers and present them for the actual values. When you trust the reality of these things and make a confession of them, eternal life and all the unfathomable  blessings of salvation become real to your spirit.


3. TO RELEASE FROM DEBT OR BONDAGE: Today's feudal masters must release their serfs. There are feudal nations and organizations that are holding others in bondage today and claiming debts that are unjustified. They must let them go. If not, in this 2024 this shall be as a plague, harassment, and restlessness to the nations and organizations who have become feudal masters and turned the others to serfs. It’s been far too long, there has to be a change.


4. TO EXTRICATE ONESELF FROM SOMETHING THAT’S DETRIMENTAL: Individuals and nations who have found themselves in illegitimate debts and wicked bondage must extricate themselves from these detrimental associations and treaties. I speak to African, Asian and South American nations. You must now extricate yourselves and come out of this bondage. It takes boldness, leadership and decisiveness. It’s time to say no more! Don't wait for government because sometimes, the government may not speak for you.


Let me give you an idea: Sue the government for making those payments and sue those who are claiming those payments. Sue with proof that the debts are illegal. Get good lawyers.You will win for your country, organization, yourself and your future. So many countries are in abject poverty today because of this.Wake up! There are answers.


Youth Organizations, don’t mortgage your future, become bold. Try doing what I have told you, because many have never tried it. There is more than enough proof that the debts that are being claimed from Africa, Asia, Central America and South America don't have to be paid.


They have been overpaid and it's time for redemption. God is saying to those holding them: let my people go! This is a year that will bring sudden changes. You cannot fear your adversaries. If you do, you will empower them. Your adversaries are not God therefore do not fear them. Your adversaries are not as strong as you think. In fact, they are weak.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
