  *📜OUR MUTUAL FAITH*

*Sunday, July 19th*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith (Romans 1:11-12 NKJV).*_

In our opening scripture, the Apostle Paul reveals a profound spiritual principle: in the Kingdom of God, faith is not always one-directional; there’s such a thing as mutual faith, faith responding to faith, faith working together to produce results. 

Paul, though an apostle with extraordinary grace, didn’t see himself as the only one with faith or the only one bringing the “supply.” He recognised that as he ministered to the saints in Rome, there would also be a supply coming from them to him. It reminds of what the Bible says: the body grows by that which every joint supplies (Ephesians 4:16). 

Every member has a supply, something to contribute. And when those supplies come together, the Body is strengthened. This is what mutual faith produces: shared participation in spiritual realities. When faith responds to faith, something happens in the realm of the Spirit. There’s an activation, a release, an unhindered flow of the Spirit of God. Ministry becomes more effective because of the unity and synchrony of our mutual faith. This is why your response matters. Remember, faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God.
 
When the Word is being taught, respond; engage your spirit. The Bible says, _*“For unto us was the gospel preached… but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it”*_ (Hebrews 4:2). The Word must be met with faith to produce results. Paul says, _*“...that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me”*_ (Romans 1:12).

That word “comforted” means strengthened, encouraged, built up. Both the one ministering and the one receiving are edified. Now, there’s something else that comes out of this—unity. When there’s a flow of the Spirit, especially through signs and wonders, it produces a certain kind of unity among God’s people. 

Those who walk in the miraculous understand it’s not by human ability. They recognise their dependence on God. As a result, they learn to honour the grace of God in others. This is why those who function in the Spirit walk in greater unity. They’re not quick to criticise or tear others down. They recognise the same hand of God at work. Mutual faith, therefore, is not just about receiving; it’s about alignment, honour, and unity in the Spirit.

                 *🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for the spirit of faith at work in me. I respond actively to your Word and to the ministration of the Spirit. I honour the grace of God in others and walk in unity, humility and power. My faith is effective, producing tangible results and establishing your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

 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...

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...
