A LIFE GIVER—RADIANT, LAMBENT AND DIVINE

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

When you were born again, an actual change took place in your spirit. It wasn’t a mere transformation of your mindset or a shift in your way of thinking. No! You were literally reborn, recreated by the Holy Spirit. That’s why the Scriptures affirm, “...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is a fundamental truth.

Whereas the natural man, the man that’s not born again, is of the earth and a mere living soul, you’re a life-giving spirit. You bear the image of the heavenly: “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly” (1 Corinthians 15:47-48). You’re a heavenly man. Hallelujah! You’re not of this world.

Your life came from the Lord Jesus Christ, the second and last Adam. He’s the head of a new race, the new creation. You’re taxonomically different from the natural man. For example, despite sharing the same earthly parents, if you’re born again and you have a sibling who isn’t, you both belong to completely different realms. Outwardly, you may look the same, but in the Spirit, you are worlds apart.

The one who isn’t born again is called darkness while you are called light. The former absorbs light, you radiate it. You emit light, for you’re the light of the world, just as the Lord Jesus is called the true light (John 1:9). As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).

Live in the consciousness of your divine origin and identity in Christ. You’re a life giver—radiant, lambent, and divine. Walk in this truth!

 CONFESSION

I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus; I’m not of this world. I have the life of God in me. I’m full of grace and truth. I’m a life-giver, radiant, lambent and divine. I walk in the reality of my heritage and identity in Christ, impacting my world with the glory of God. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

2 Corinthians 5:17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1 John 4:17; 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.

Ephesians 5:8; For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

1 Corinthians 15:47-49 AMPC The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven. 48 Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). 49 And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so [a]let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.

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...
