THE CONDITION OF YOUR SPIRIT


Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… (Colossians 3:16).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


If the Lord Jesus were to stand in front of you, how would you react or respond? It may surprise you to know that you’re unlikely to do any of the things you’re probably imagining right now that you’d do. That’s because, in the spirit realm, we respond from our spirits. 


Therefore, if Jesus were to stand in front of you right now, you're going to respond from your spirit, because He’d be appearing to your spirit, and the condition of your spirit is what will be revealed. Consider when Saul (who later became Paul) encountered the Lord Jesus. The Master spoke from heaven to him, and he, falling to the ground and blinded by the glory of the Lord’s radiance, responded by asking, “...Who art thou, Lord?...” (Acts 9:5).


Imagine such a great and mighty voice spoke to him, and all he could say was, “Who are you?” That’s because that was the personality of Saul’s spirit at the time; he was still rowdy, injurious to the Church. That’s who he was. And when the Lord replied, “...I am Jesus whom thou persecutest…” (Acts 9:5), He was relating with the condition of Saul’s spirit.


Later on, the Lord Jesus appeared to him again and told him He would send him far away to the Gentiles, explaining that the people in Jerusalem wouldn’t receive his testimony. Saul argued with the Lord Jesus, insisting that the people knew who he was prior to his conversion, and as a result, they’d believe him. Saul was responding to the Lord based on the condition of his legalistic spirit at the time.


So the question is: What’s your spirit like? Who are you on the inside? That’s what will manifest in your words and in your actions. It’s not about the emotional or superficial reactions of the flesh. Even your emotions are often a result of the condition of your spirit.


It’s one of the reasons you must constantly educate and condition your spirit with the Word of God. When you allow the Word of God to dwell in you richly as it says in Colossians 3:16, your spirit will be rightly conditioned to receive divine guidance, be a sure guide, express the Christ-life, and manifest Kingdom realities. Hallelujah!


PRAYER 


Dear Father, thank you for making me an ambassador for Christ. I declare that my spirit is attuned to your Word, and I respond by faith to your Word always. I represent your Kingdom effectively, proclaiming your truth with boldness and accuracy, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Acts 9:3-6; And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.


Acts 22:17-21And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. 21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

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...
