You can change the environment, but until you change yourself, nothing really changes. It doesn't matter where you live on the outside, what truly matters is where you live on the inside.  ~ Pastor Chris

🔴 The secret to a transformed life is in what goes on in your mind! Depression doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life. People get depressed and discouraged because they are caught up in the world. They dwell on things they should not be thinking about or they do not recognize the priority that God should have in their life. 🔴 Irrespective of the challenges or circumstances, you can choose your response. How you live your life is totally up to you. It's not dependent on your circumstances. It's dependent on your choices._ 🔴 Arrange your thoughts so that you choose happiness each and everyday. You don't need anybody's help or consent to be happy. You have what you need to be happy. ~ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc.Dsc.DD.

*No one rolls into success by chance! Don't expect to see a change in your circumstances if you don't create one. A new place may not give you a new life. A fresh start is not necessarily a new place, it is a new mindset, because our lives always express the results of our dominant thoughts.* ~ Pastor Chris

_Do not pressure someone to change, you may lose your relationship with him, no one will change unless he wants to do so from within. Never loose yourself while searching or loving someone else_.  _Being you is your only power. You are you, and there’s nothing wrong with You. Prove yourself to yourself, not to others. Don’t waste your energy trying to convince people to understand and like you._  _Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people. God will always bring the right people into your life, but you have to let the wrong people walk away._

_Your biggest enemy is the version of yourself that wants to settle for less. You don't need too many people to be successful. The only two you require to be successful are God and yourself, and happily, both are already with you. Greatness is in your DNA. God doesn't make junk. Don't allow pains and challenges to infiltrate the walls of your life that all you think about are the challenges. Take responsibility for your life and for your happiness. Most people suffer more in their minds than they do in real life because of worrying. Worrying is a waste of emotion and imagination._ _Overthinking is parasitic. It’s viral. It’s deadly, even. Letting yourself fall victim to overthinking doesn’t just kill your happiness, it destroys who you are. The mind is a beautiful and complex thing, and the only person who can hurt it is yourself. No situation is permanent, you can change anything. Some challenges come as distractions._ _Starve your distractions, feed your focus...

Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Think about that verse carefully. How many of you are led by the Spirit? Let's look at the first example in Matthew chapter 4. The first person we see is Jesus. "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil." Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The word translated "led" carries deeper meanings. It means to be induced, impelled, propelled, guided, conducted, or driven. Consider the implications of those words. When the Bible says, "As many as are led by the Spirit of God," it means those who are impelled, induced, guided, conducted, and propelled by the Spirit of God. To be conducted is like someone taking you by the hand and leading you to your destination. So Jesus was not merely guided by the Spirit; He was driven by the Spirit i...

Don't  waste your words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes, the most powerful thing that you can do is to say nothing at all. People are different. If the doctor treated all patients with the same medicine, most of them would have died, so do not treat all people in the same way. Let God’s essence within you flow out like a stream as you relate with others in love._ _Sometimes, the weight you have to lose isn't on your body but on your mind. The most important places to keep clean are your heart and mind. Refuse to allow resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, secret motives, anger, cynicism find expressions in you and through you._ _Unforgiveness is like holding the door open for the devil; It's like drinking poison and hoping it would hurt someone else. To be unforgiving is to allow circumstances rob you of your joy in life. Forgiving others isn’t so much about the one who offended you; it’s about your own life; it’s for your benefit not theirs. Don...

That means no matter where you are or what is happening around you, God's desire is for you to grow and succeed. He has chosen you to be fruitful at all times. Just like Isaac, who planted seeds during a tough time and received a great harvest, God can bless you even when things look difficult (Genesis 26:12). So, for you to enjoy God's blessing every day, you must study God's Word and meditate on it every day. The Bible says that as you do so, you become like a tree planted by the water; always growing and always bearing fruit (Psalm 1:3). This is God's plan for ...

*Monday, June 15th, 2026* *Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD* *THE GOSPEL MISSION BEFORE THE LORD'S RETURN* *(God's End-Time Plan)* 📖 *_TO THE BIBLE - Matthew 24:14_* *_"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."_* *_LET'S TALK ⏩_* The message of Christ's salvation is God's answer to the darkness in the world. It's our responsibility as young people to make sure everyone hears it before Jesus comes back. The Lord said the Gospel would be preached in all the world for a witness, and then the end would come. This means the timeline of history was so destined that the Church should finish the work. You're part of the generation chosen to wrap up the ages. Don't just watch from the sidelines. Participate actively through intercessory prayer, strategic involvement in Gospel initiatives, financial partnership, and bold witnessing. The Spirit of God has e...

*Monday, June 15th, 2026* *Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD* *THE FLESH HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED* 📖 *_"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts" (Galatians 5:24)._* There exists a common misconception among many that the flesh must continually be *"crushed"* or subdued through repeated struggle and effort. But the Scripture presents a different reality: the Christian has already crucified the flesh. The *Complete Jewish Bible* renders our opening scripture beautifully; it says, *_"Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires."_* This is not a process but an accomplished reality: your old nature is dead: *_"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new"_* (2 Corinthians 5:17). The reason many still struggle with the flesh is simple: th...

🔴Every human person belongs to a biological family. As an individual, you have a responsibility towards your own family.  🔴You must understand that no matter the kind of family you hail from, it isn’t a mistake that you were born there.  🔴Your birth was divinely orchestrated by God. 📖Genesis 45:6-7 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 🔴One of the essential responsibilities you owe to your family is to maintain and promote its integrity and fortunes.  🔴You have to uphold its values and moral standards, always seeking to protect whatever good the Lord has blessed it with.  🔴Now, you may say, “Pastor Chris, you don’t know the kind of family I come from. I have nothing to maintain, uphold, promote, or even inherit.” 🔴If that’s the ca...

╔════════════════╗   RHAPSODY OF REALITIES        FOR EARLY READERS ╚════════════════╝  PASTOR CHRIS *Sunday, June 14th, 2026* *THEY'RE INSIDE YOU* 📖 *_"As his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness..." (2 Peter 1: 3)._* The moment you were born again, the Lord put everything you need for a great life inside you. That means the strength, wisdom, joy, and success you require are already in you. Isn't that awesome? The Bible says, *_"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good... For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks"_* (Luke 6:45). God has put great treasures in your heart, and He wants you to bring them out. How do you bring them out? By the words you speak! Speak God's Word every day, and believe it in your heart. As you do, the good things God put in you will begin to show in your life. *📚 SCRIPTURE READING -* 2 Peter 1:3 *||* *_"According as his divine power...

*Sunday, June 14th, 2026* *Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD* *LIVING FOR THE FATHER'S WILL* *(Discipling the Nations)* 📖 *_TO THE BIBLE - John 4:34_* *_"Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work."_* *_LET'S TALK ⏩_* Doing the Father's will and finishing His work was the Lord's primary focus and utmost desire; it was His satisfaction and fulfilment. That same Spirit and conviction drove us to complete the full preaching of the Gospel to every nation by the end of 2025. But the mission of the Gospel continues. This means that even as young people, we still have an important part to play. We must keep preaching and teaching the nations how to live as the Lord instructs in Matthew 28:19-20, *_"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am...

*Sunday, June 14th, 2026* *Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD* *YOU'VE OVERCOME THE WORLD* 📖 *_"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4)._* Our opening scripture presents a truth that should fundamentally change your perspective concerning the world and its influences: you've overcome the world. This is not a promise but a declaration of present truth. You've overcome the world and its crippling and corrupting influences. You've overcome the world's system, its economy, economics, and politics. This is why it's important as a Christian that you know who you are. Always be mindful of your identity; you're born of God; and for that reason, the Scripture says you've overcome the world! It doesn't say strive to overcome the world; neither does it suggest a progressive attainment of victory. This has nothing to do with your effort but the resu...

🔴The house of God is the number one place for your seriousness as a child of God! 🔴You have to know what's pursuing you. Is it the Gospel or is it a vagabond spirit! 🔴A young man once told me he couldn’t make out time to go to church on Sunday because he had to go play soccer.  How sad! 📖 Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 🔴The Lord Jesus Christ in the above scripture warns us on the need to be careful, lest our hearts become overcharged with surfeiting.  🔴In other words, He’s telling us to avoid overindulgence in the things we’re interested in or like to do, so much so that we get lost in them.  🔴Playing soccer or getting involved in any other kind of sport or recreational activity is good, but it’s only profitable to you in this life.  🔴Therefore, you shouldn’t let such engagements take pre-eminence o...

You can never have too much because  God has given you the ability to give to someone else. NOBODY HAS TOO MUCH!!! ~ Pastor Chris
