 *THE GRACE ADVANTAGE*


*Saturday, November 1st*


Pastor Chris Oyakhilome


Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).


No matter how intelligent you are or how hard you work, there’s a dimension to real success and achievement that transcends natural abilities and efforts. It's called grace. Grace arranges and orchestrates life's circumstances in your favour. 


Grace coordinates how things unfold for you, who comes in and out of your world, when they arrive, and for what purpose. It determines how things connect and align; the people, resources, opportunities etc. When you understand this, you become truly humble, realizing that the race isn’t to the swift, nor is the battle to the strong. Wealth is not to one who’s brilliant, neither is favour to the learned, but time and chance happen to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NIV).


The apostles understood this. That's why Paul, John, and Peter often talked about grace. Read their respective epistles; they often began by saying, "Grace be to you…" (2 Corinthians 1:2). 2 John 1:3, "Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father...." Also, "...Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied" (1 Peter 1:2). They knew what grace could accomplish. 


Be conscious of the grace of God. Learn to function by grace and multiply the grace of God in your life. How does grace multiply? Peter tells us that it’s through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2). You can multiply and increase the dimensions and workings of God’s grace in your life by meditating on the Word and putting it to work in your life. Hallelujah!


                 PRAYER


Dear Father, thank you for the abundance of grace that’s available to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in increased grace, favour and peace, as I grow in the knowledge of your Word. Your grace is actively working in my life, producing supernatural results and aligning all things in my favour. I walk in excellence, fruitfulness and divine success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
