WALKING IN THE TRUTH

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth (3 John 1:4).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

Truth was a central theme in the writings of the Apostle John. In his first epistle alone, he used the word truth at least ten times, an indication of its importance. In his third epistle, he expressed his delight when the brethren testified of others walking in the truth. He declared, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” That’s remarkable!

Why was truth so important to John? It’s because the Lord Jesus Himself is the embodiment of truth. God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). John 1:14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Then the 17th verse says, “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”

No wonder the Master said in John 14:6, “...I am the way, the truth, and the life….” Truth is not merely a set of principles or abstract ideas; it’s a person, Christ Jesus. To walk in truth, therefore, is to walk in Him and live by His Word. Even in worship, truth is indispensable. John 4:23-24 says, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

The Father seeks worshippers whose lives align with truth. And to make this possible, He gave us the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of truth: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth...” (John 16:13). You’ll never be deceived or walk in error if you yield to Him. He takes the things of Christ, because Christ is the truth, and reveals them to you (John 16:14).

So, walking in truth is much more than just living honestly; it’s living in alignment with Christ, His Word, and the guidance of the Spirit of truth. And we walk in truth because we’re of the truth. Hallelujah!

PRAYER 

Dear Father, thank you for the blessedness of knowing and walking in the truth. Thank you for the Spirit of truth who guides me daily in your perfect will, to walk therein and fulfil your purpose in the earth. My life is for your glory, today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

John 15:26; But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 17:17; Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

3 John 1:3-4 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

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 ...
