FRIDAY JUNE 28TH 2024 BUILDING SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME There’re many who are ignorant of spiritual matters, and for that reason, they’re buffeted by the crises of life and walk on in confusion. So, it’s important to build your spiritual sensitivity. For that to happen, you've got to study and understand the Word, to know the mind of God. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Also, as you study the Word, train yourself to act on it promptly. This should be natural for every Christian because we’re doers of the Word (James 1:22). By responding promptly to the Word of God, you condition your spirit to recognize the effect of the Word in your life. That way, when you face challenges, you respond with the Word; you voice your faith. This practice trains your spirit to consistentl

THURSDAY, JUNE 27TH 2024 YOUR SERVICE MEANS MUCH TO GOD Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building (1 Corinthians 3:8-9). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Every opportunity of service that you have in the house of God is profoundly significant and holds great meaning to God. He’s going to hold you accountable for the work and tasks He assigned to you. So serve the Lord dutifully, and do all that you do for Him with diligence, excellence and integrity of heart. The Bible says, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10).  Oftentimes, when we are involved in something, whether an activity or project, we may not be conscious of the actual impact or effects of our act

TUESDAY, JUNE 25TH 2024 GIVE VALUE TO YOUR RESOURCES But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The way to give value and direction to your resources is to invest them in the Kingdom of God. Outside of the Kingdom of God, money holds little significance. There isn't anyone who doesn't have money. Do you know why? Because everything holds value—everything has worth. That means currency isn’t the real money; it’s just what is used in measuring the real money. Therefore, in a sense, everything is money. Once you comprehend this, you'll realise that God has bestowed upon you the wisdom to manage finances.  The reason those who are labelled wealthy seem to have the advantage over those termed as poor is due to their understanding of this mystery. Once you gain the same understanding, suddenly you’ll start seeing value in everything that God gives you. Everything that God gives

_Turning challenges into opportunities is a powerful mindset shift that empowers individuals to transform adversity into growth and success. Rather than viewing obstacles as roadblocks, embracing them as opportunities for learning and innovation fosters resilience and creativity. By reframing setbacks as stepping stones, individuals can uncover hidden strengths, develop new skills, and discover innovative solutions. This approach not only builds confidence and determination but also cultivates a proactive attitude towards life's challenges. Ultimately, embracing challenges as opportunities not only leads to personal growth but also opens doors to new possibilities and achievements that may have otherwise been overlooked._ Follow us on kingschat: @thekingsnation20 #Happynewmonth #WelcometoJune #ThemonthofPrayer #Reachoutworld #Project1000 #Everytreeaforest #TheKingsNation #PastorChrisGeneration. #Loveworldnation

MONDAY, JUNE 24TH 2024 UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT …the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:6). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  In Proverbs 4:7, the Bible says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” It points attention to wisdom as the most important thing that you should go for, not money, not friends, but wisdom. Then it says in the concluding part, “…with all thy getting get understanding.” And that’s what I want to emphasize: understanding! Understanding is important. In verse 8, referring to understanding, it says, “Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.” So, do you want promotion? Then you need to exalt understanding, and she shall promote you and bring you to honour. The 9th verse is also beautiful and further refers to what understanding will do for you: “She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glo
