THE ULTIMATE BLESSING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law…That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:13-14).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

The latter part of what we just read helps us to understand that the ultimate blessing of Abraham wasn’t diamonds, gold, land, or cattle; it was the Spirit. Through Jesus Christ, the promise of the Spirit has now come to us who believe. He lives in us, works through us, walks in us, and empowers us daily. This is the greatest treasure of the New Testament; the Holy Spirit in you!

He’s the seal of our inheritance, the proof that we belong to God. He’s not a shadow or a force; He’s a divine Person who walks with you and lives in you. His presence is what makes the Christian life supernatural, victorious and exciting. You need to be more aware of His power that’s at work within you.

Ephesians 1:19-20 talks about the exceeding greatness of His mighty power at work in you: “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead….” Hallelujah! There’s no need to pray for power, strength, or wisdom because the Holy Spirit, who is Himself wisdom, strength, and the source of all power and divine guidance, is already resident in you.

 You’re never without help. The same Spirit that raised the Lord Jesus from the dead lives in you. This is the fulfilment of God’s eternal plan. The prophets longed to see it. The patriarchs anticipated it. But you’re living it: “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints…which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:26-27).

Christianity without the Holy Spirit is religion. But with Him, it’s a divine adventure. He makes the Word come alive, fills your prayer with power, and transforms you from glory to glory. Acknowledge Him. Yield to Him, and fellowship with Him always. He’s the ultimate blessing of the New Testament.

CONFESSION

Righteous Father, thank you for the blessing of the Holy Spirit who lives in me, strengthens me, leads me, and guides me to walk in supernatural wisdom, power and dominion. And by His mighty power at work in me, I’m effective in soul winning and my faith prevails always. Your love, grace and blessings are manifested in and revealed through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV;  In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[a] is the [b]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Romans 8:11; But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

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 ...
