THERE’S SOMETHING IN YOUR PATH

  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.Dsc.DD  For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live] (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC). Every one of us has a path that’s preordained by God for us to walk in life. It’s a path of success and greatness. However, as you journey, you’ll collide with forces or situations that’ll test your faith. For David, there was a bear and a lion. Afterward, there was a Goliath and the armies of the Philistines, and then lots of other armies. But he defeated them all. Hallelujah! I’m not sure what’s in your path, but there’s surely something in your path. But one thing is certain: you’ve already won. That’s why the Bible says “Count it all joy when you go through diverse tests” (James 1:2). The challen...

HOW TO GROW THAT BUSINESS WITH MORE GRACE

.......But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (James 4:6) Grace is the supernatural influence at work in you that causes everything you do to prosper; it’s a divine enablement that causes increase, promotion, and progress! However, the degree to which you let the grace of God in you reflect on the outside is up to you. The more you fill your heart with God’s Word and have the Holy Spirit work in your life, the greater the workings of grace in your life. You can and should increase in that outward reflection of the Glory of God in your spirit, to such an extent that others would see it and testify to it. They might not be able to explain it, but they’ll glorify God for His excellence that’s resplendent in you, and in all you do. Some Christians are asking God for more anointing, but there’s nowhere in the Bible where it’s stated that God will give you more anointing. All you need is more grace. More grace gives you more c...

THE WORD IMPARTS FAITH

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc.DD.  The Word of God imparts faith. You might have noticed that sometimes as you sit listening to, or studying God’s Word, your spirit becomes energized. At such times, all the challenges you may have been facing suddenly seem like nothing. The reason is that at that moment, the Word you’re receiving stirs faith in your heart. The Word of God is spiritual; therefore, it’s even more real than the physical things that your senses perceive. That’s why, when you receive the Word into your spirit, a spiritual reaction is ignited between your spirit and the Word of God that gives you dominion over circumstances. When that reaction takes place, faith rises in you like a giant and you have the assurance of victory. Even if you thought your faith was little or small, Jesus said that little faith can do great things; it can literally move a mountain (Matthew 21:21). Or, perhaps, you’re thinking, “I don’t have faith”; our opening verse tells us how to get it: ...

DOMINION OVER DEATH AND HELL

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc.DD. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death (Revelation 1:18). Following Adam’s disobedience, the Bible says death came upon all men: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). Death was associated with sin, so when Adam committed high treason back in the Garden of Eden by obeying Satan, death began to work in every man. Satan gained liberty to afflict men with sickness, disease, destruction and ultimately death, at his will. But when Jesus came, things changed. Men and women who were all their lifetime subject to bondage because of the fear of death were liberated through the victory of Jesus Christ over death and the grave (Hebrews 2:14-15). Jesus went right into hell—Satan’s domain— paralyzed Satan and his cohorts, and obtained the keys of death and hell! He dealt with th...

FAITH IS THE COGENCY OF EVIDENCE

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc.DD. Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see… (Hebrews 11:1 AMPC). The above definition of faith simply means that faith is the cogency of evidence. You’re convinced that something you’ve hoped for is real though it’s not visible in the physical realm. Faith is a substance; it’s the evidence of unseen realities. Evidence is proof of something; it can be made available. If faith, therefore, is the evidence, it means there’s something it represents. It’s like when you own a property; the title deed to that property is your proof, the cogency of evidence that the property is yours.  When your right to the property is contested, you simply present the evidence—the title deed.  Likewise, if at any time the devil tries to question your right to your blessings, privileges and inheritance in Christ, present your evidence, which is God’s Word.  Declare with ...

YOUR LOVEWORLD SPECIALS WITH PASTOR CHRIS

SEASON 7, PHASE 7, DAY 3 200TH EPISODE!!! REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD (Flashback of 200 Episodes segment) Today I'm going to share a few things with you. We began discussing these important truths.. especially on eternal life.  (I will do a series on eternal life sometime soon). I did touch on it during season 3, phase 5.  I think one of the beautiful things that you would have gained in YLWS is some kind of information in God's word.  E. G. I defined for you eternal life.  I knew that the church had not been given a definition The English definition is 'everlasting life's. But the fact that it is the life that Jesus brought, made it so important to know what it meant.  You have to understand the scriptures, what the bible says about God, deity, Jesus Christ, idolatry, life itself....to be able to define eternal life.  Yet I gave you a very simple but profound definition of eternal life.  Eternal life is the life and nature of God.  That's ver...

YOUR LOVEWORLD SPECIALS WITH PASTOR CHRIS

 SEASON 7, PHASE7, DAY 1  16TH AUGUST, 2023 REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD I want to welcome you to today's program. It's a very special one  It's very unique because the final day of this phase, will be the 200th episode of YLWS. Really amazing! Everything arranged by God. How could we have planned that?  Knowing that some phases were 3 days, some 5, some 7...  It was done by God. Before we go into today's very special discussion, I want us to watch a short documentary on why many are sick.. especially children.  (Why children get sick video play out) If you thought Big Pharma was helping to cure disease, you were wrong. Their main job is disease maintenance and symptom management. Very sad.  The last few words you heard in that documentary is that God has given us a different kind of life. Every christian needs to know what it is to be a Christian. It is not a religion. In the world, they think it is, but it's not. There are things in Christianity t...

OUR ETERNAL ADVOCATE

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.Dsc. DD. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous (1 John 2:1). The greatness of the Father’s love for us is indeed beyond human comprehension. No wonder the Spirit had to pray through Paul for the Church to come to the understanding of the immensity, magnitude and unconditional love of the Father towards us (Ephesians 3:18-19). He sent Jesus to die for us; He raised Him from the dead and appointed Him as our eternal advocate.  Hallelujah!  He said in our theme verse, “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous.” No one else qualifies to plead your case, except the one who died in your place; He took your place as a sinner and gave you His righteousness. No one can condemn you before the Father. When Satan, who is described in Scripture as the accuser of God’s people, accuses you and tries to declare you ...

SPEAK GOD’S LANGUAGE

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc . DD.  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:13). In Galatians 4:1-2, the Bible says, “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.” An heir is someone who has an inheritance bequeathed to him, a legal inheritor of an estate or position of high authority and wealth. However,aslongastheheirisachild,he’snotdifferent from aservant. Thewordtranslated “child” is “nēpios,” one who’s unable to talk right or communicate wisely. Someone can beforty years in Christianity and still be a “nēpios”; he can’t form the right words in the realm of the spirit. Yes, the Word says we’re heirs of God and jointheirs with Christ, but “nepios” can’t live the life of an heir.  1 Corinthians 3:21 says,...

WE’RE MINISTERS OF RECONCILIATION

  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.Dsc.DD. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). In the New Testament, you’d observe that the word “minister” is copiously used. It’s however important to note that there’re three Greek words from which it’s translated. The first one is “doulos,” which is like a servant or a slave. Paul sometimes called himself a “doulos” (a bondservant)—a slave or servant of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:1).  ThenanotherGreekwordfor“minister”is “hupēretēs,” which refers to the office of ministry, like we find in the story of the conversion of the Apostle Paul on his way to Damascus. During that conversion, Jesus said to Paul, “…for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen…” (Acts 26:16).  Jesus appeared to Paul and called him into an office of ministry. We also find the sa...

JESUS CHRIST IS THE JUDGE OF ALL

 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.  …he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness… (Acts 17:31). The verse above says Jesus will judge the world in righteousness. He is the judge. The Father judges no man; He committed all judgement to Jesus: “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” (John 5:22). Also, in Acts 10:42 NIV, we see that Jesus was appointed by God to be the judge of all men. A similar thought is communicated by the Spirit in 2 Timothy 4:1 NIV through the Apostle Paul: “In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge.” The Judgement Seat of Christ is described in 2 Corinthians 5:10: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” The Judgement Seat of Christ is the...

UNITY OF THE BODY

   PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD   Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). There’s a stronger unity among God’s people today than at any time in history. For instance, earlier this year, during our Global Ministers’ Classroom, we had over seventy million ministers of the Gospel from around the world who participated online, and it was a great blessing through the Holy Ghost. It’s the same with our Global Day of Prayer, with several billions of God’s people in every nation and territory of the world praying together to establish the will and purpose of Christ in the earth. Hallelujah! There’re two powerful forces that bind us together. Number one is the Word of God, the power of God’s Word that unites our hearts. The second force is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. These two bring us strongly together all around the world today. ...

THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD

  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light (Genesis 1:2-3). When you read the Psalms, you’d notice that David knew the value of words, and he taught his son, Solomon, the same. It was Solomon who said, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” (Proverbs 18:21). David's father taught him that. David knew that death and life weren’t in the power of the sword; they’re in the power of the tongue. And he proved it when he confronted Goliath of Gath.  You need to understand how he defeated Goliath. It’s easy to think that he defeated Goliath with a smooth stone and a sling. But no; it was with words! Study the account in 1 Samuel 17. He was sure of defeating Goliath because he put his faith in words. He used the tools as guided by the wisdom of God. He had the stone and sling and words...

SOLD OUT TO THE GOSPEL

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc Dsc, DD.  No one in military service gets entangled in matters of everyday life; otherwise he will not please the one who recruited him (2 Timothy 2:4 NET).  When Jesus said, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15), it was a charge given to every Christian. You’re to take the Gospel to your world and the regions beyond. He also made us know it certainly wouldn’t just be a walk in the park. In 1 Corinthians 16:9, Paul said a great and effectual door for the spread of the Gospel was open unto him, but there were many adversaries. In 2 Timothy 3:12, he said, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” None of these, however, dampened his zeal or impeded his passion for preaching the Gospel. It should be the same with you. Preaching the Gospel is a job we must do, come what may.  That’s why Paul said in Acts 20:24, “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life ...

MAKE IT A HABIT TO STUDY THE WORD

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc Dsc, DD.  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious (1 Peter 2:2-3). Just as good nutrition is indispensable to proper physical growth, God’s Word is the essential nourishment for spiritual growth. When a Christian neglects God’s Word, he’ll be susceptible to attacks from the devil andsubjecttotheelementsandcorruptinginfluences of this world. Remember, through the Word, we renew our minds, build faith and character. Hence, we must continually feed on the Word. 2 Peter 3:18 says, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” Then in Chapter one verse three, it again stresses the importance of the knowledge of God’s Word. It says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and vi...

OUT OF SATAN’S DOMAIN

 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc Dsc, DD.  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:12-13). Being born again, you’ve been translated or transferred from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of God. It’s the domain of life, light and great glory. Satan has no claims over you or anything that has to do with you because you’re not in his jurisdiction. You were called out of Satan’s domain into God’s marvellous light: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9). Those who aren’t born again, however, are by nature in bondage to Satan, buffeted by the adversities and terrors of life, unable to free themselves. They’re in gross dark...

PEACE WITH GOD

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). I would to God that everyone in the world would understand the magnitude and import of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Prior to His vicarioussacrificeonourbehalf,theBiblesayswewere “... aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world” (Ephesians 2:12).  We were enemies of God. But blessed be God! Romans 5:10 says He reconciled us to Himself by the death of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:1318 says, “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in o...

TRAVAILING IN PRAYER FOR THE NATIONS

 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.Dsc.DD. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession (Psalm 2:8). The Message translation of our theme verse says, “What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize?” I first came across this verse when I was 15 years of age, and I prayed to the Lord according to this scripture.  In response, the Spirit of the Lord said to me, “I’ve given you the nations!” At that tender age, I was concerned about the abysmal state of the unbelievers in the nations of the world; they’re in spiritual darkness and alienated from the life of God. They’re hopeless and without God in the world. So, I got the world map (atlas), and many times, I’d place my hands on it, speaking and prophesying over the nations of the world and over men’s lives.  I travailed in prayer for the needy people of the world. I’d pray and cry, broken before the Lord. Oh, how I wept in prayer...

HE REIGNS THROUGH US

 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.Dsc.DD. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it (Colossians 2:15). From our opening verse, we see that Jesus made a spectacle of Satan and his cohorts in hell. He spoiled principalities and powers and openly humiliated them. All the spirits of darkness saw this happen. The Conybeare translation says He disarmed them. Hallelujah! Now, He’s reigning over them and over all things. 1 Corinthians 15:25 says, “For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.”  Jesus is in Heaven, seated at the right hand of God, a place of power. So, how then is He reigning? How does He reign over His enemies? Romans 5:17 gives us an idea; it says, “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”  He reigns through us! When we reign, He reigns. And remember, the Bi...

WE HAVE SOMETHING THEY CAN'T WITHSTAND

                                            PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 📖 ═══════════════     For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod (ISAIAH 30:31).           ═══════════════ Pastor Chris Says ━━━━━━━━━━ In the Old Testament, God prophetically described the spirit of the antichrist in several ways for us, and He helped us understand what that spirit would do in different phases, until he’s fully manifested in a man. But as long as we’re still in the earth, before the Rapture of the Church, Satan and his cohorts of darkness don’t stand a chance in establishing their evil order. We have something that they can’t withstand: the Name of Jesus and the Word of God spoken in the power of the Holy Spirit. Click on the link below for the message: The 7 Reigns of the Prophetic T...
