HIS FOCUS IS HUMAN SOULS


For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost (Matthew 18:11). 


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


The most important thing to God is human souls. It’s the reason Jesus came and gave His life. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He didn’t come for the redemption of the mountains, hills and beautiful vegetation of the world. These creations, while majestic and valuable to God, were not the focus of His sacrificial mission. He came to save human beings— men, women, boys and girls!


His life, death, and resurrection were all centred on the salvation of mankind. This act of love underscores the immense value God places on each person. We must have that in our hearts and live always with the consciousness that every human being is important to God.


If you live with this understanding, it’ll shape your interactions, decisions, and priorities. It’ll drive you to live purposefully, knowing that according to the Scriptures, there's a definite number of souls that must be won to the Lord before the Rapture of the Church. Therefore, evangelism becomes your heartbeat and lifestyle.


Remain passionate and fervent in sharing the Gospel with others. Put your time, energy and resources into it. Recognize the intrinsic value of every soul and be determined to see them fulfil God’s destiny for them. Pray earnestly for the salvation of souls around the world.


Remember, the Bible says, "God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). So, in addition to fervently and radically preaching the Gospel, intercede for those who haven’t yet known the Lord that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ will shine unto them for their salvation, prevailing over darkness, idolatry and deception. Hallelujah!

                   PRAYER 


Dear Father, as your children around the world go forth preaching the Gospel today, men's hearts are open to receive the message for their salvation; they're delivered from Satan’s dominion into God’s Kingdom. I declare that in every nation in the earth, every resistance to the Gospel is broken, and the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ shines brightly into the hearts of men, women, boys and girls for a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


John 3:16-17; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


1 Timothy 1:15; This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.


1 Timothy 2:1-4  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

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...

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...
