JULY 5 2026 REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD This first Sunday of the second half of the year is the half year thanksgiving. Psalm 50:14-15 When the scriptures tell us about thanksgiving, it's not just in words. Thanking is important that way definitely..and the Bible does tell us about using words in praise, in thanking God..but then when he talks about thanksgiving He refers to more than just saying THANK YOU. V14: The Hebrew word translated THANKSGIVING is the same word "THANK OFFERINGS". (2 chro 29:31) The word is TODAH. It is the offering that you bring to God to say THANK YOU.  what you do is give to the Lord a thanksgiving Offering.  Yesterday, 4th July was a special day for America. It was their 250th Anniversary. I congratulate the citizens and the president of the United States, Donald J Trump. They have been the greatest country in the world for 250 years. That's the country in the world that everybody wants to go into.  It's been successful ...

_Eliminate the time-wasters in your life. Concentrate on your God-connection. Ignore comments and people that breed doubt, defeat and pull you back._ _Jesus did not give the same quality time to the Pharisees that He gave to the Samaritan woman and His disciples. He discerned the purpose of every conversation, whether it came from a hungry heart or a critical attitude._ _The fact that you are unique brings a unique mandate on your life that you were wired to fulfill in your world. Without which, you are depriving your world of an essential input designed by God for your world through you._ Click on the link below to study the yesterday's Daily Juice  👇👇👇 https://thekingsnation20.blogspot.com/2026/07/daily-juice_0722046658.html Join our Kingschat group by clicking on the link below. 👇👇👇 https://www.kingsch.at/jl/bkNvUD Join our Telegram group by clicking on the link below  👇👇👇 https://t.me/+JkFa7fIAdyo5NzFk Join our Whatsapp group by clicking on the link be...

╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 6th July *STAND OUT FOR GOD* He was the burning and shining lamp... *(John 5:35)* David was a young boy when he stood before the giant Goliath, yet he was not afraid (1 Samuel 17). While others were frightened, David trusted God. He believed that God was greater than any giant. David loved God deeply and wanted His Name to be honoured; that was what made him different. You’re God’s child, and that makes you different too. Whether at school, at home, or with friends, choose to think and act as God’s child. So, don’t be afraid to stand out. Love God boldly and live for Him. As you do, your life will show His glory everywhere you go. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *Titus 2:7* In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, *SAY THIS* I am standing strong for the Lord; therefore, I’m a burning and shinin...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Monday, July 6th 2026_ *YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD* _(He Cares About Every Part Of Your Life)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Psalm 23:1* _“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”_ *LET’S TALK* When Jesus said, *”I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own”* (John 10:14), He wanted us to know His primary responsibility towards us, which is to nurture, guide, protect and provide for us. *“Shepherd”* in Greek is *“poimen,”* which also means *“Pastor.”* Thus, Jesus described Himself as the *“Good Pastor.”* You need to know and relate to the Lord Jesus as your shepherd and bread-provider. That way, you won’t need to struggle through life trying to make things work on your own or feel like everything depends on you figuring it out.  Simply follow the leading of the Lord Jesus, your Good Shepherd, and He’ll guide you into everything you require for the good life. He’ll guide you in your classes, when you’re preparing for exams, when you’re cho...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Monday, July 6th 2026_ *THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU* _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_ *(Romans 8:11)* Christianity is not a religion; it’s Christ in you (Colossians 1:27). It’s the outworking of the God-life in a human person. The Christian is one who has received and manifests the organic and existential attributes of divinity. That’s what makes you different. You didn’t come into religion when you received Christ. You came into reality. The Bible says, *“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life…”* (1 John 5:11-12). This life is the transcendent life. Consider the human body. Even in its present, fallen state, it has the ability to reproduce cells, to repair and restore itself. That is human life, yet ...

(Stay Away From Illegitimate Fights) 2 Chronicles 18:3-4 MSG “Then Ahab brought it into the open: “Will you join me in attacking Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said, “You bet. I’m with you all the way; you can count on me and my troops.” Then Jehoshaphat said, “But before you do anything, ask GOD for guidance.” “I wish I knew where Kevin lived, so I can go beat him up,” muttered Andrew. “Hey man, where did that come from?!” Steven replied in shock. “He hurt me, man! I’ve got to give him a piece of my mind,” Andrew retorted. “Come on man, let it go. That’s not a legitimate fight for you. Leave it alone!” The fight of faith is the only legitimate fight for the believer; and it’s not a fight with people. So, never fight or get into strife with anyone over anything. Fighting with people is a wrong fight. Sometimes, it might seem right and just to “fight” for something or a cause, but seek the Lord’s guidance first like Jehoshaphat requested (2 Chronicles 18:3-4). If you think you’...

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME SUNDAY, 5TH JULY 2026   BE CONTENTED    Hebrews 13:5  Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have...   Being content means not feeling sad or jealous because someone else has something you don't. It means trusting that God has given you everything you need.   In 1 Corinthians 3:21, the Bible says, "... all things are yours."Which means in Christ, you're richly blessed and never empty. Hallelujah!   Peter showed this when a man asked him for money. Peter said he didn't have silver or gold, but he had something greater-Jesus! And through the Name of Jesus, the man was healed (Acts 3:1-10).   You also carry something precious in you. So, be thankful, joyful, and confident. With Jesus, you have more than enough.   Scripture Reading-2 Peter 1:3   Say This I have all that I need to live a beautiful, excellent, and glorious life. Therefore, I'm joyful and full of thanksgi...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Sunday , July 5th 2026,  WE REIGN WITH HIM  (Seated Far Above Principalities and Powers) TO THE BIBLE - John 20:17  “Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”   LET’S TALK Have you ever had an older sibling step in when someone tried to mess with you Suddenly, the whole situation changes. Now imagine that your “Big Brother” is Jesus. Well, that’s the reality! At different times during His earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus defined His relationship with His disciples. They had been His servants and followers, but shortly before His death, He said to them: ”You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made kno...

*📜KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR TRUE NATURE* *Sunday, July 5th* *Pastor Chris* _*📖These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life… (1 John 5:13).*_ God wants you to know who you are. Not to guess, not to assume, but to know. The Apostle John, writing by the Spirit, says, _*“These things have I written unto you…that ye may know that ye have eternal life.”*_ This is about your identity—what you have and who you are in Christ—NOW. You’re divine because you have eternal life, the divine life.  Consider the Apostle John, who wrote what we read in our theme scripture. During the time of the Great Persecution, after John had been arrested, they put him in a large boiling pot to fry him alive. They were determined to destroy him. But when the fire had burnt out and consumed itself, John stood up. They couldn’t kill him because there was something about him.  That’s how the expression came about, “St. John th...

_If you don't express your dissatisfaction towards certain things, people will continue to act the same way towards you. They feel comfortable repeating their actions, because they do not feel consequences. Let them look elsewhere for someone less demanding._  _Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart._ _Don't listen to what people say behind your back, a lion never looks back when a small dog barks. The world will always talk no matter how good you are, no matter how hard you work, someone will always have something bad to say, they'll try to break you, not because you are weak but because you are strong. So, ignore the bark._

🔴 You can control your choices, but you cannot control the outcome of your choices. Whether you succeed or fail doesn't depend on others as much as it depends on you!  🔴 The ability to be successful and joyful starts with your attitude. Never be fearful of the future. You are the one who carries the touch of Light for yourself and many others.  🔴 Think and feel blessed and loved, it'll create and attract an aura of blessings around you! To think you will fail is a misconception. Release and detach yourself from every person, every circumstance, every condition, and every situation that no longer serves a divine purpose in your life. Life is in phases and seasons, and certain phases and seasons must come to an end. Don't force to stay a season or phase that should go. You can create a new season, filled with purposeful thoughts and divine activities.
