FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2024 HE GAVE US KINGDOM AUTHORITY Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. In our previous study, we learnt that we’ve been transferred from the jurisdiction or domain of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. So, we’re currently in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. But what happens here? How are we supposed to live now that we’re in the Kingdom? Are we supposed to cry to God for the solution to one problem or the other? No! Having brought us into the Kingdom, we have Kingdom authority! The Lord Jesus said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy…” (Luke 10:19). Then recall what He said in our opening scripture: “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth sh...

  THURSDAY DECEMBER 5TH 2024 YOUR PRESENT AND PERMANENT PLACE OF DOMICILE Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. Our opening scripture says God has transferred us from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of His Love-Son. That’s where you are now. The transfer wasn’t a process; it’s not something that happens from time to time; it’s already been effectuated, and it was a permanent transfer. Your present and permanent place of domicile is the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. The question is: do you realize you’re in His Kingdom? It’s important to know this because it means you’re not under the dominion of Satan. You’re seated together with Christ, “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21). Recall what the Bible says about our Lord Jesus ...

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 04 2024 HE DRAWS THEM IN THROUGH HIS MESSAGE No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him... (John 6:44). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus explained that God draws individuals through His Word and His message: “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me” (John 6:45). When people hear the message and respond in faith, they’re drawn to Jesus because “…faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). This means for someone to come to Christ, they first need to hear the message of the Gospel (Romans 10:14). This underscores the importance of our individual responsibility in preaching and sharing the Gospel because it is through this proclamation that God draws people to Himself. So, more than ever before, preach the Gospel with conviction. In Romans 1:16-17, Paul's conviction is palpable as he...

_Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the chains of bitterness and resentment, freeing us to live a life of love, joy, and peace. When we choose to forgive, we're not excusing the hurt or the pain, but we're releasing the hold it has on us. We're breaking free from the cycle of revenge and anger, and instead, we're choosing to walk in the footsteps of love and compassion. Remember, forgiveness is not for the other person, it's for us. It's for our healing, our freedom, and our peace. So let go of the grudge, release the hurt, and forgive. Not for their sake, but for yours. You deserve to live a life free from the weight of unforgiveness._ Good morning beloved. Top of the day

TUESDAY DECEMBER 3RD 2024 DECLARE WHAT YOU WANT IN HIS NAME And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. There’s a difference between calling on the Name of Jesus and making a demand in His Name. It’s crucial to understand this distinction. Consider Romans 10:13; it says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Sinners can call upon His Name for salvation, but as Christians, we use His Name; we exercise dominion in His Name.  Using His Name isn’t about calling out to Him as if you’re still a sinner seeking salvation. Now that you’re born again, you belong to the household of God. The Name of Jesus is now named upon you and given to you to live by. You don’t need to call upon Him anymore for anything; rather, you use His Name with authority to create anything or effect the changes you desire. Notice in our opening verse th...
