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 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.

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...
