AN IMPORTANT AWARENESS


These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (1 John 5:13).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME


This verse of scripture was written by the Apostle John towards the closing part of his ministry, and he considered it essential to remind God's children of something very fundamental. He was addressing those who already believe in Jesus Christ, reiterating that they “know” they have eternal life. The word "know" is the Greek“eido,” which means to observe and become aware.


He wants you to observe and become aware that you have the organic and existential attributes of deity. This awareness is important because your consciousness of your identity in Christ influences the way you live and the decisions you make. It shapes your reactions and determines the outcomes in your life. Also notice the latter part that says, “…and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13). 


There’re two striking things John points attention to: one, observe and become aware that you have the God-life, the God-nature. Secondly, believe on the Name of the Son of God. Why would John write to folks who are already Christians to believe on the Name of the Son of God? It’s because he wants their faith to remain strong and steadfast, unshaken by the circumstances around them. 


God knew they would face challenges, so He encourages them to keep trusting and remain confidentin God’s Word, no matter what happens. Remember what He said in 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” You’ve already overcome, because the One who lives in you is greater than anything or anyone in the world. 


Therefore, keep the Word in your heart. Let your faith remain steadfast. Observe and become aware that you have eternal life; that life is greater than any circumstance or challenge. Trust in it, and live in the consciousness of the victorious life that Christ has given you.


PRAYER


Dear Father, thank you for the eternal life I have in Christ. I live with the consciousness of this life today, knowing that I am more than a conqueror. I stand firm, unshaken by circumstances, because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


1 John 4:4 AMPC Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. 


John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. 


1 John 5:11-13 NIV And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

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...

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
