SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14TH 2024 ONLY JESUS CHRIST GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ...Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him (John 17:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. What confidence Jesus had, to state that God had given Him power over all flesh to give them eternal life. This means Jesus is the One who gives eternal life. If He’s the Lord of your life, you have eternal life in you because He gives eternal life to all those over whom He’s Lord. You can only know and understand life when you know the source of life, and that’s Jesus Christ. The next verse says, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3). Notice how Jesus classifies Himself here with God because He is Himself God. He didn't say, “that they might know thee, the only true God,” and stop there. He...

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13TH 2024 USE HIS AUTHORITY, PRAYING IN HIS NAME Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind (Colossians 2:18). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. In Christianity, we don't worship angels, neither do we ask angels to pray for us. No matter how much you call on them to pray for you, they won’t pray for you because they can't pray for you. Jesus told us how to pray; He said, “…Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you” (John 16:23). We pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus.  We’re the only ones with the right, privilege and blessing to use His Name in prayer. We don’t even ask Jesus to pray to the Father for us. Jesus said, “At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed tha...

_ Life is a tapestry woven with threads of triumph and tribulation, of joy and sorrow, of light and darkness. And yet, it's in the darkest moments that we discover our greatest strength - the power of resilience. Resilience is the ability to bend but not break, to weather the storms and emerge stronger, wiser, and more radiant. It's the voice that whispers 'you can' when the world screams 'you can't'. It's the fire that burns within, refusing to be extinguished by the winds of adversity. It's the unwavering commitment to rise again, to rebuild, and to restart. So, when the trials come, and they will come, remember that you are resilient. Draw on that inner strength, and let it carry you through the darkness into the light. _ Click on the link below to study yesterday's fresh dew 👇👇👇 https://thekingsnation20.blogspot.com/2024/12/fresh-dew_11.html

 

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11TH 2024 NOW THAT JESUS IS LORD OF YOUR LIFE …if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. When you confessed the Lordship of Jesus, believing that God raised Him from the dead, you received eternal life; you were born into Christ and Christ came into you. You now have His life, His nature, and His spirit. This also means you’ll never go to hell because Jesus Christ, the light of the world, lives in you. He already went to hell in your place and defeated Satan and his cohorts of darkness in hell (Colossians 2:15).  When He obtained the victory in hell, you were in Him. Accordingly, you have victory over hell, sin and death. No wonder the Bible says, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). In the Day of Judgmen...

  _Deep within you lies a spark, a flame that flickers with potential, waiting to be fanned into a roaring fire. It's the spark of creativity, of passion, of purpose. It's the spark that sets your soul on fire, that drives you to pursue your dreams, and that illuminates your path. But often, this spark is hidden, buried beneath layers of self-doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Click on the link below to study yesterday's fresh dew 👇👇👇 https://thekingsnation20.blogspot.com/2024/12/fresh-dew_10.html It's smothered by the voices of others, who tell you that you're not good enough, that you're not talented enough, or that you're not worthy enough. But I want you to know that this spark is real, and it's waiting to be unleashed. It's waiting for you to believe in yourself, to trust in your abilities, and to take the leap of faith. So, I urge you to fan that spark, to nurture it, and to let it shine. Let it illuminate your path, and guide you towards you...

  TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10TH 2024 LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name (John 20:30-31). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. When Jesus declared that He was the Christ, the Jews accused Him of blasphemy because they understood what the term “Christ” meant. Christ means “Son of God,” and that expression means “God in human flesh.” Recall that in John 10 the Jews asked Him, if He was the Christ? and Jesus said, “Yes.” Then they cried, “… blasphemy; you, a mere man, have declared yourself to be God” (John 10:33 TLB). They understood the implication of Jesus saying He was the Christ and they vehemently opposed Him for making such a claim. But He was right; He is the Christ, the Son of God, and anyone who believes in Him has life. Hallelujah! Many years ago, a...

  MONDAY, DECEMBER 9TH 2024 HE CLEANSES YOU FROM ALL SINS In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. Our opening verse says in Christ Jesus we have redemption (riddance) through His blood, and then in the concluding part, it says, “…even the forgiveness of sins.” That word “even” is in parenthesis, which means it wasn’t in the original text. The translators inserted it by their own prerogative, but it was wrongly applied. The correct conjunction is the word “and”: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, and the forgiveness of sins.” To say “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” suggests that “we have redemption of sins through His blood, meaning the forgiveness of sins.” But that’s not true, because they are two different things: first, in Christ Jesus, we have our riddance or redemption, and secondly, we have our freedom from sins (forgiveness). We’...

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8TH 2024 GOD’S TESTIMONY: YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The term “record” in our opening verse also means testimony. The New International Version and a few other versions put it more clearly: “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11 NIV). To get a better understanding of what John was discussing here, you’ll have to read the ninth and tenth verses as well. Let’s read: “We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son” (1 John 5:9-10 NIV). God’s testimony is that you have eternal life because you have Jesus Ch...
