Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11). The term “record” in our opening verse also means testimony. The New International Version and a few other versions put it more clearly: “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11 NIV). To get a better understanding of what John was discussing here, you’ll have to read the ninth and tenth verses as well. Let’s read: “We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son” (1 John 5:9-10 NIV). God’s testimony is that you have eternal life because you have Jesus Christ. You don’t have to feel it to know you have it. All you need is God’s testimony that you already have it. If you don’t accept His testimony, then you make Him a liar, and God cannot lie. That testimony also says anyone who doesn’t have the Son of God doesn’t have life. The 13th verse in the New International Version is so beautiful. There, the apostle John says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” Glory to God! If you believe in the Name of the Son of God, this was written to you so you can accept God’s testimony, and that testimony is that you have eternal life. Therefore, even now, say with confidence, “I have eternal life because I have the Son of God!” Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, I rejoice in your testimony that I have life because l have Jesus Christ. I walk in this consciousness today as I manifest your divine nature and power. I’m full of life, health and strength, and I live victoriously because eternal life is at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). In our previous study, we learnt that we’ve been transferred from the jurisdiction or domain of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. So, we’re currently in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. But what happens here? How are we supposed to live now that we’re in the Kingdom? Are we supposed to cry to God for the solution to one problem or the other? No! Having brought us into the Kingdom, we have Kingdom authority! The Lord Jesus said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy…” (Luke 10:19). Then recall what He said in our opening scripture: “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 18:18). He’s given you the authority to determine the course and circumstances of your life. What you say is what obtains because you’re standing in the authority of Jesus Christ. If you observe that things around you or the circumstances of your life aren’t aligning with God’s perfect will, give the word and He’ll endorse it. He allows what you allow and disallows what you disallow. He’s given you the authority to effect changes when things aren’t happening right. Now you can understand why some people have remained in certain precarious conditions for a long time; it’s because they allowed it to continue. As a Christian, the day you decide you don’t want any particular issue to continue is the day it will stop. Maybe it’s sickness—perhaps a tumour or growth in your body—decide and declare, “l can’t have this in my body; my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; therefore, I curse this growth and cut out this tumour in the Name of Jesus.” That’ll be it! Don’t say, “Oh God, please take this sickness away”; that won’t change anything. He’s not responsible for it; rather, He’s given you the authority to do something about it. It doesn’t matter what challenges you may be facing today. Don’t cry. Don’t beg. Don’t cower or complain. Exercise your authority in Christ! What does it take to exercise that authority? We’ll learn more about that in our next study. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for giving me the authority to effect changes and determine the course and circumstances of my life in line with your perfect will. Even now, your blessings—health, peace and prosperity—are evident in my life. I walk in righteousness, propelled by your wisdom as I fulfil my destiny in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

God wants me well, so I declare that I will always be well. I declare that the Spirit of God has enlightened my heart and caused me to grasp and walk in the deeper realities of the Kingdom! Now I know that I cannot be disadvantaged because the God that does the unimaginable is shining through me, and as He is, so am I in this world. I am the light of the world, and there’s no area of darkness in my life because I am the light of the world. The kind of blessings coming to me now, cannot be humanly explained. Unusual and unexplained monies, benefits and bonuses come to me. I have money everywhere. I am a big-time kingdom financier. I have the supernatural intervention of the Almighty God in all my affairs. My wealth is unending. My wealth is inexhaustible. I am the expression of God’s fullness; He is my completeness. It makes no difference what challenges I face in life; there’s a force – an empowerment – at work in me to blaze through the barriers. I live in health, prosperity, and excellence. I have no lack in this life because all my needs are met in Christ Jesus. Satan has nothing in me because I am full of the Spirit at all times.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13). Our opening scripture says God has transferred us from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of His Love-Son. That’s where you are now. The transfer wasn’t a process; it’s not something that happens from time to time; it’s already been effectuated, and it was a permanent transfer. Your present and permanent place of domicile is the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. The question is: do you realize you’re in His Kingdom? It’s important to know this because it means you’re not under the dominion of Satan. You’re seated together with Christ, “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21). Recall what the Bible says about our Lord Jesus Christ in 1 Timothy 6:15-16: He’s the “…blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto….” In other words, He only has immortality (life, “deathlessness”) and dwells in unapproachable light. He is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5), and you’re in Him. That means in you, there’s no darkness, no sickness, disease or infirmity, nothing of Satan because you were born into God’s Kingdom of light—His 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). If this is true, and thank God it is, how can you have cancer? Where will diabetes, hypertension, heart condition, migraine headache, etc., come from since you presently and permanently dwell in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son where there’s no darkness but light; where life and immortality reign? How can the devil oppress you when you’re not under his jurisdiction? In Luke 10:19, the Lord said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” It’s the reason you can say, “In the Name of Jesus, I refuse to accommodate Satan and anything from him; I belong in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son, Jesus Christ, with dominion over Satan, sickness, disease, death and the demons of darkness.” Hallelujah! CONFESSIONI’m in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son, where there’s no darkness, disease, failure or death. I’m seated with Christ, far above all principality, power, might, dominion and everything that’s named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called (1 Timothy 6:20). Do you realize you’re a witness to your generation? The Lord Jesus said in Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” You’re His witness to all those who are connected to you: your co-workers, family members, and those in your neighbourhood or estate where you live. The Gospel has been committed to you for their salvation. The Bible says in 1 Timothy 1:11, “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.” Paul said the Gospel was committed to his trust. It’s the same with you. You’ve been entrusted with the Gospel. The same message that saved your life has been committed to your trust. Now, you ought to use that same Gospel to bring salvation to others. That’s what success is. You become a fruit-producing branch. Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). Paul said to Timothy, “…keep that which is committed to thy trust…” (1 Timothy 6:20). That term committed is from an interesting Greek word, “parakatathéké” which means “a deposit.” This means a deposit has been made; something has been given to your trust. Now you’re going to use that investment of your personality. You’re like a bag of seeds; the deposits in you are seeds of the Kingdom that you plant in other people. That’s your number one job. If you give utmost attention to it, everything else will fall into place. Remember the words of Jesus: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). The things that the Gentiles seek after will be added to you if you seek the expansion of God’s Kingdom first. Remember, you’re representing the Kingdom, and now, the Kingdom is working in your behalf. Be sure to witness to someone about Jesus Christ. We’re having ReachOut World Day tomorrow; give at least one person in your sphere of contact a copy of Rhapsody of Realities, and see the Kingdom of God expand through you. Prayer / Confession Dear Father, I thank you for entrusting me with the precious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I recognize the responsibility and honour it is to be a witness to my generation.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy (Romans 11:11). In your efforts to win souls, disciple new converts and bring them to church, there’re those who may never accept your message or agree to join your local fellowship; don’t be discouraged. Take a cue from how God dealt with the world. First, Jesus took His message to the Jews, His own people, for He came from among them. He brought them the message of the Kingdom but they rejected Him. What did He do? He then took the message to the Gentiles—to the rest of the world. And even today, many continue to receive that message. Paul experienced the same thing. As a Jew, he first preached to the Jews, but they argued with him and rejected his message even though he was one of them. They knew him as the man who once persecuted Christians, and when he turned to Christ, they wouldn’t listen to him. Many of them even turned against him. But Paul didn’t let that stop him. When the Jews wouldn’t accept his message, he turned to the Gentiles and had great success. Your focus should be on those who are open to receive the Gospel. Luke captured some of these. In Acts 13:46, for example, the Bible says, “Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.” Also, Acts 18:6 tells us, “And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.” Apply the same principle. Don’t allow those who reject your message to determine the condition of your spirit or your mood. Pray for them, intercede on their behalf, but don’t let their rejection control your heart. Focus on winning others. As you succeed in reaching more people, one day, those who rejected your message will be provoked by your success and drawn to Christ, just as the Bible tells us that the Jews will be provoked by the salvation of the Gentiles and eventually believe in Jesus Christ. Stay encouraged and press on; keep your focus on the mission, knowing that as you prosper in the work of the Lord, others will be drawn to your light. Prayer / Confession Dear Father, I thank you for the wisdom of your Word that guides me to focus on reaching more and more people with the Gospel. Even now, many are drawn to your message of salvation and are converted and established in your Word as your children minister the Gospel around the world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8). Reproving the world for its wicked works and evil is a core part of the ministry of Christ. He told us in John 16:8 that when the Holy Spirit comes, He’ll do the same thing; He’ll continue this work. He does exactly that today. Let’s read our opening verse again, this time, from the AMPC: “And when He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin, and about righteousness,(uprightness of heart, and right standing with God) and about judgment.“ The Holy Spirit convicts and convinces the world of sin, showing them the error of their ways and the righteousness that comes through Christ. But how does He carry out this ministry? He does it through us. We’re His vessels, bearing His message of salvation to the world. So, let’s keep heralding His truth and praying for the lost that God will guide them to embrace the truth and be transformed by the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ. Through our prayers and the preaching of the Gospel, sinners are awakened to their need for salvation. They turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God. Remember that it’s Satan that blinded their eyes (2 Corinthians 4:4), but through our prayers, we extricate them from the dominion of Satan, and the light of God’s Word penetrates their hearts, illuminating the way of salvation and drawing them into the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit who convicts and convinces the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. I pray for those who are yet to know Christ that their eyes be opened to the truth of the Gospel. Today, as they hear your Word, it illuminates their hearts to receive salvation. Thank you Lord, for the finished work of Christ and for the grace that has ushered us into righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). As a Christian, there’s no blessing from God that’s not already in you and actively at work in your life. You’ve been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Just imagine any blessing you want; it’s already yours because you’re in Christ; the blessings are in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:20 tells us that all the blessings of God in Christ are yes and amen to the glory of God. Hallelujah! It explains why Peter declares in 1 Peter 3:9, “Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.” In Christ Jesus, we’re supremely and graciously blessed; no curse can work against you. You’re seated together with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians 1:21). Therefore, from where and from whom would the curse come? Remember the story of Balaam, a prophet hired by Balak to curse Israel. He realized that no curse or enchantment could prevail against God’s chosen people. God had blessed them, and no external power could undo that blessing. Numbers 23:23 says, “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel….” If the Old Testament Israel couldn’t be cursed, how much more the Church of Christ, also called the Israel of God? Hallelujah! No evil machinations, enchantments or witchcraft can work against you. The demons recognize who you are; there’s a mark on you; you’re branded by God and they know it! They know you’re blessed and superior to them. You’re in Christ, and Christ is in you. Someone may try to take your position at work; you don’t need to get worked up or start praying against them. You’re already victorious. That’s what the Bible says, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37). You’re always in victory (1 Corinthians 15:57). Glory to God! PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for making me a partaker of your divine nature and for blessing me with your abundant grace. I walk in divine favour, because I’m supremely blessed. My life is full of glory and excellence. I’m a living testimony of your manifold wisdom. Thank you for the victory I have in Christ now and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man’s lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our theme scripture; it says Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light. To abolish means to do away with, to get rid of, or to cancel. The Lord Jesus cancelled death; He got rid of it and gave us a life that’s superior to death; a life that’s death-proof. Now you can understand why the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:55, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” The Lord Himself proved that death has no sting or victory when, after three days in the grave, He arose triumphantly back to life. Why then do Christians die? For many, it’s a result of ignorance (Psalm 82:5-7) and also because of the consciousness and fear of death. We’ll learn a bit more about the fear of death in our next study. You might ask, “Pastor Chris, are you saying we are not supposed to die?” Absolutely! We have the potential to live beyond the confines of earthly limitations. The Bible lets us know that many of us will be alive and physically raptured from the earth when the trumpet sounds (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The Church needs to grasp and walk in the light of this truth. The life you have is the God-life, the divine life; it’s not subject to Satan, sickness, disease, death and the corrupting influences of this world. 2 Peter 1:4 says we’re partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the corruption that’s in the world. Death is one of those “corruptions” from which you’ve been extricated. Hallelujah! CONFESSION I refuse to be bound by the consciousness of death or the limitations of this world. I walk in the fullness of the life and victory that Christ has obtained for me, and I live in health, strength and vitality. I live out the transcendent life, demonstrating the power and glory of God in all areas of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 2:14-15; Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Mark 9:1 NIV; And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-56: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. READ ALSO:

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22). Notice what we just read; first, it says “…attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart….” How can you attend to God’s words if you don’t know them? That’s why it’s important to study, meditate, and act on the Word continually by the Spirit. Secondly, it says, “For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” God’s Word has the power to heal and deliver. His words are life and health to all your flesh. The Hebrew word for health here is “marpe,” and it means cure or medicine; the Word has curative powers. That’s why the King James Version uses the word ‘health’; God’s Word is medicine for your body. If you have a problem with your body, like a health condition, and you meditate on God’s Word, you’ll be cured. God’s Word is the real medicine—the universal, infallible panacea for any issue regarding your health. Through meditation, the real medicine enters your heart, your veins, your arteries, your muscles, your bones, effecting a cure, mending and perfecting all things. This is the reason someone who’s been diagnosed with cancer can get cured by meditating on the Word. The Word is a healer and a cleanser (John 15:3); it’ll cleanse your blood; it’ll purify and cleanse it of any kind of sickness, disease or infirmity. Psalm 107:20 says, “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” It brings to mind Job 33:19-22 where the Bible describes the sufferings of a man in pain and weakness and how his suffering became so severe; his body had deteriorated and was at the precipice of death. But verse 23 in the Amplified Classic Translation revealed his hope; it says, “[God’s voice may be heard] if there is for the hearer a messenger or an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him [how to be upright and in right standing with God].” God’s voice—His Word—can be heard; when you hear it, it imparts faith to you; it brings you healing and makes you whole. PRAYERThank you Father for your Word that brings healing and deliverance. Your Word is medicine to my body; my entire being—my organs, bones, veins, arteries, blood—are inundated by the Word. I walk in divine health and victory, because your Word is my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And, behold, there was a woman which hada spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself (Luke 13:11). In Luke 13:10-17, Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath day when He saw a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for 18 years, causing her to be bent over and unable to straighten up. He called to her and said, “Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity” and laid His hands on her. Immediately, the woman was made straight, and she glorified God.It’s remarkable how Jesus ministered to the woman; He said, “And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abralham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?” (Luke 13:16). The Lord Jesus revealed the true cause of her suffering; it was Satan who had bound her for 18 years. Jesus identified the spirit behind her affliction as a spirit of infirmity. That’s why no doctor could help her, as they knew nothing about demons; but Jesus set her free from that bondage.In the same way, many people today are suffering, not knowing the true cause of their problems. But you see, many of the challenges that some people are faced with in life are caused by demons. So, identify and cast the devil out. Demons don’t care who they oppress; they can afflict children and adults alike. That’s why you must cast out devils. Never be casual with or ignorant of demonic activities. Stay in the Word and be quick to exercise your dominion in Christ.In Mark 6:7, Jesus called His twelve disciples and sent them out in pairs, giving them authority over unclean spirits. In Matthew 10:8, He instructed His disciples to “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”In Mark 16:17, He said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils.” You’ve been given the authority and ability to cast out devils in the Name of Jesus. Exercise that dominion even now and frustrate the influence and manipulations of Satan in your body, in the life of a loved one, and in your family or environment. CONFESSIONI have authority to heal the sick and bring health and joy to a hurting world. Satan has no place in my life, in my home or in my family. I have the power to cast out demons in Jesus’ Name, and use it to the glory of God. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:Luke 10:17-19; Mark 6:7; Luke 13:10-17 READ ALSO:

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD SCRIPTURE: But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us (2 Corinthians 4:7). Did you know that as a child of God, you have an indescribable treasure in you? God has deposited His divine power and glory within our “earthen vessels” our human bodies. We’re vessels of divine power. Why did He do this? The Scripture tells us why: “…that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” His extraordinary power and glory are tabernacled in our physical bodies so that when they’re manifested, everyone would see and recognize they’re not of human origin. They’re beyond anything human strength can produce. Glory to God! No wonder Paul said, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians 3:5 ). Read our opening verse again, this time, from the Amplified Classic for a clearer understanding. It says, “However, we possess this precious treasure (the divine Light of the Gospel] in [fral, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.” Every day is an opportunity for you to manifest God’s glory and power. The Bible says He’s called us to a life of glory and virtue, a life of excellence (2 Peter 1:3). Your life is for the glory of God. Hallelujah! Every day, as you live by faith and walk in the knowledge of God, you demonstrate the divine power that is within you. As a result of this divine power, the Bible says you’ve been granted all things that pertain to life and godliness. You’ve become a participator in the divine experience, a partaker of the divine nature.Nothing is impossible with you. You can do the unthinkable and the unimaginable: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20). Live boldly and confidently every day, knowing that God’s extraordinary power is at work in you and effuses through you for His glory. You’re a vessel of divine power. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the precious treasure of your divine power and glory within me. I am grateful that your extraordinary power is manifested in my life for your glory. I live in the consciousness of this truth, shining your light and manifesting your glory to the world as I walk in your power and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21). Without a proper understanding of righteousness, it’s impossible to live a true Christian life. Why is righteousness so important? To truly understand righteousness, we must first understand God. This is because, in the world, righteousness isn’t typically discussed. People might talk about doing what is right or wrong in terms of good and evil, but these are based on human definitions and moral standards. These standards can change depending on cultural, societal, or individual beliefs about what is right or wrong. For example, in certain countries, though bizarre, their law allows for same-sex marriages, meaning that in such societies, if a man marries another man, it’s considered okay. But in certain other societies, this act might be considered wrong or even punishable by death. In one place, it’s seen as normal; in another, it’s viewed as a grave sin. But God’s position on it is clearly defined in the Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-32). God’s concept of righteousness is different. Many people mistakenly believe that the majority opinion represents the voice of God, but that’s not true. Whether the majority gets it right or wrong is irrelevant. God has His own voice, His own standards, His own Kingdom, and His own choices. He has expressed His will through Jesus Christ, whom He sent. When we talk about righteousness, we’re talking about God’s ability and attribute, the character of God to be right and perfect. It is about who He is. How He thinks is always right. What He says is always right. What He does is always right because He’s God. So, everything about God—His thoughts, His words, His actions—is always right. This is what we call the quality of rightness, the rightness of God. Therefore, understanding righteousness is about understanding who God is. It is about recognizing that His standards are unchanging and not subject to human opinions or societal norms. PRAYERRighteous Father, I align my thoughts, words and actions with your unchanging standards and live in your righteousness in this crooked and perverse world, shining as a light. I’m the unveiling of your righteousness. I’m a tree of righteousness, planted to produce fruits of righteousness. My life is a reflection of your grace and a testimony of your goodness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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). As a child of God, you have a new nature. This is fundamental knowledge for every Christian, yet many haven’t fully grasped it. When you were born again, it wasn’t just a religious experience; it was a supernatural transformation. Something incredible took place in your spirit; a new man with a new nature came into being. The human life you were born with was supplanted by the life and nature of God in Jesus Christ. This is the true meaning of being born again. The very life and nature of God that Jesus brought to this world, the organic and existential attributes of divinity, was imparted to your spirit. This is why Jesus came. He came to give you a new life, a supernatural life.This is what 2 Corinthians 5:17 means: “…If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” There’s been a supernatural transformation now that you’re born again. Therefore, it makes no difference what obtained in your natural life prior to your being born again; there’s a new you! Whether it was a disease, an infirmity, or any other limitation—now that you’re born again, there’s been a change. The old “you” wasn’t renovated or revamped but recreated after the image of God that created you (Colossians 3:10). You were recreated to look like God and to function like Him. Glory to God! No wonder He says in Ephesians 4:24, “…put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” his new you is created in righteousness and true holiness, perfected in Christ.There’s nothing that’s supposed to be in you that isn’t in you now. Also, there’s nothing that shouldn’t be in you that’s in you. Now you can understand why He says, “all things have become new”; everything in your life is new now that you’re born again. It’s crucial that you know this truth. Your acknowledgement of it activates its power in your life as the Bible says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” (Philemon 1:6). Hallelujah! *PRAYER** Dear Father, I acknowledge that I’m a new creature in Christ; old things, including sickness, disease, infirmity, and all kinds of limitations have passed away, and all things have become new. I walk in the knowledge of this truth, and its power is fully activated in my life to live the transcendent life and walk in the fullness of my new nature in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. **FURTHER STUDY:** Colossians 3:8-10* But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: *Romans 6:4* Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. *1 Corinthians 6:11* And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
