*LIVE THE WORD TO THE FULLEST*

📖 *_"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples" (John 8:31)._*

One of the greatest decisions you could ever make in your life is to live the Word of God to the fullest possible measure. Decide you're going to live and enjoy the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as fully as a man can. When you make this a conscious choice and commitment, it'll drive you to study the Scriptures because to live the Word, you must know the Word.

No one can walk effectively in the truths that they don't know. The extent to which you know the Word determines the extent to which you can manifest the life of Christ. Therefore, He says in Colossians 3:16, *_"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom...."_* God's desire is that the Word so dominates your spirit that it becomes your instinctive way of thinking, talking, and living.

The Lord Jesus said, *_"...he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life"_* (John 8:12). If you follow Him through His Word, you'll never walk in darkness concerning your health, your future, your finances, or any aspect of life. You'll always have the light of life. Following Him means yielding yourself completely to His Word and refusing to settle for less than what He has made available to you in Christ.

Don't wait until you get to heaven to discover you could have lived at a higher level spiritually but didn't. Don't live beneath your inheritance in Christ because of ignorance or lack of commitment to the Word. Make up your mind that you're going to know God's Word and live it fully.

The Bible says, *_"Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD..."_* (Hosea 6:3). The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, said, *_"Study to shew thyself approved unto God..."_* (2 Timothy 2:15). As you study the Word, meditate on it diligently, and act on it consistently, the light of God will flood your path. You'll walk in clarity, victory, wisdom, and excellence continually because the Word will illuminate every area of your life.

          *PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the light and power of your Word. I commit myself to knowing and living your Word fully. Your Word fills my heart, governs my thoughts and directs my actions. I walk in the light of life, in victory, wisdom and excellence today, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

     *FURTHER STUDY:*

Joshua 1:8 *||* *_"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."_* *||*

Psalm 119:105 *||* *_"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."_* *||*

James 1:22-25 *||* *_"[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgeteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein,] he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."_* *||*

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...
