THE WORD EXPRESSED IN YOU

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God (2 Corinthians 4:2).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

There’s a difference between telling the truth and the manifestation of the truth. Our opening scripture isn’t talking about merely being truthful about a matter or subject; rather, it’s about living the Word, for the Word is truth (John 17:17).

The manifestation of truth, therefore, is the manifestation of the Word, the Word expressed in and through you. It’s when your life becomes a living Bible, so much so that others can literally read the Word of God in you. That’s Christianity! It’s life in the Word, by the Word and through the Word.

We’re the offspring of the Word. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” You’re born of the Word and therefore are called to express the Word. Your life is the unveiling of the Word of God. James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”

This should further help you understand why the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, declares that we’re the epistles of Christ: “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 3:3).

Every step the Lord Jesus took when He walked the earth was the Word of God in action. He’s the living, active, incarnate Word: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” (John 1:14). 1 John 4:17 says, “…as he is, so are we in this world.” You’re the Word alive today, walking, talking and blessing lives. Have this consciousness. Live the life God has called you to live: the manifestation of the truth.

PRAYER 

Dear Father, I thank you that your Word lives in me and is expressed through me. My life is a manifestation of truth, a living epistle read by men. I walk in the consciousness that I am the Word alive today, bringing blessing, illumination and righteousness to all in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
