SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21ST 2024 ETERNAL LIFE DEFINED That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:15). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. Imagine preaching the Gospel to someone and the person asks you, “What is eternal life?” What will you say? I'll give you two simple statements that’ll help you understand what it is. The first one is that eternal life is the life and nature of God. This in itself isn’t a definition but an expression that describes what kind of life it is. Eternal life is a life that's different from other kinds of life; it’s the life and nature of God.  As a definition, eternal life is the organic and existential attributes of deity. Why is this important? It’s because all over the world, people talk about different gods. There’re so many deities in different cultures represented in so many ways. But none of them has eternal life. Eternal life is the life that Jesus, in Scripture, declared the Father has, which essentially...

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19TH 2024 THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart (2 Corinthians 3:2-3). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. What's an epistle? It’s a letter or written message. So, when Paul said, “Ye are our epistle…,” he was saying, “You’re our message, known and read of all men.” Jesus Christ was the message of God. He was the Word of God—God’s message—sent to the world to be read of all men. He was manifested in the flesh. When men encountered Jesus in Bible days, they encountered the Word of God. When He spoke, it was the Word speaking. When He acted, it was God's Word in action. When He healed, it was God's Word performing the miracles. Everything He did was the manifestation of the Word of God in flesh. Theref...

_As we dive into the festive season, let's remember to be mindful of our actions and choices. Amidst the celebrations, parties, and gatherings, it's easy to get caught up in the moment and lose sight of what's truly important. But beware: the way you live your life during this season can have a lasting impact on your relationships, health, and overall well-being. So, let's make a conscious effort to prioritize self-control, responsibility, and kindness. Let's choose to spread love, joy, and positivity, rather than recklessness, negativity, and harm. Remember, the way you live your life is a reflection of your values and character - so, let's strive to make this festive season one to remember for all the right reasons!...... click on the link below to study Previous Fresh Dew 👇👇👇 https://thekingsnation20.blogspot.com/2024/12/fresh-dew_16.html

  _As we step into the festive season, let's remember that this time of the year is not just about celebration and merriment, but also about reflection and renewal. Just like the trees shed their leaves to make way for new growth, we too can let go of the things that no longer serve us - the fears, doubts, and limitations that have held us back. As we embrace the spirit of love, kindness, and generosity that defines this season, let's also make a commitment to ourselves to emerge stronger, wiser, and more radiant in the new year. Let the light of the season illuminate your path and guide you towards a brighter, more fulfilling future!... click on the link below to study yesterday's Fresh Dew 👇👇👇 h

MONDAY, DECEMBER 16TH 2024 THE WORD IN FLESH And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. In one of our previous studies, I explained to you that Jesus is the Son of God—God in human flesh! The Bible shows us something more about who He is in John 1:1. It says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The 14th verse says, “…the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us....” But a more accurate rendering is “the Word became flesh”; Jesus Christ is the Word of God become flesh. It’s easy to accept that Jesus is the living Word, the Word become flesh, but do you know that the same is true about you? The Bible says: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23). You were born again by the Word of God, which lives...

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15TH 2024 WE LIVE TO PRAISE Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright (Psalm 33:1). The Bible says, “Praise is comely for the upright.” This is wonderful. It means that praise is consistent with, or befitting to, the custom of our Kingdom. We live to praise. No wonder the Bible says, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).  Now, “Praise is comely” also means that praise is beautiful. The New King James Version says, “Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.” In fact, The Passion Translation says, “... Praise him with all you have, for praise looks lovely on the lips of God’s lovers.” This means that God loves to receive our praise. When we praise Him, we actually position ourselves where we ought to be as a people of praise: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye shoul...
