Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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 (2 Peter 3:18). Have you ever pondered why, as a younger Christian, it seemed your prayers received quicker answers compared to now that you’ve grown in your walk with the Lord? Maybe you even prayed incorrectly, and yet God always answered you. Yes, He answered you because you were a spiritual infant. God answers such prayers, not because they’re right, but because He’s giving the babes some space to grow. After a while, what used to work for them at that level won’t work anymore because they have to stop feeding on milk: “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe” (Hebrews 5:13). As you grow in Christ, God starts taking you more seriously. The things you say and do—the words you speak, the words you hear, how you reason, what you think about the Scriptures, how you pray and the content of your prayers, etc.—will begin to matter. You discover we don’t pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus; rather, we pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus. We also don’t “come to Him” every time we pray. The day you gave your heart to Christ to be born again, was the day you came to Him. The sinner can say, “Oh Lord, I come to you in the Name of Jesus” because he was out. But you are in Him; you live in Him. To a young or carnal Christian, these things may not mean much, but they bear great spiritual significance. The Bible says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14). When you grow up and start applying the Scriptures rightly, you’ll discover that you’ll no longer experience ups and downs in life. Your life will be from faith to faith, grace to grace, and glory to glory. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for your Word, which is my life and the light by which I see. I’m yielded to its power to transform and build me up in every area, delivering to me my inheritance in Christ. Your glory is revealed in my life, constantly transfiguring and renewing me more and more in knowledge into your image, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). The moment you received Christ, something remarkable happened: you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. This seal is not just a mark of identity; rather, it’s a declaration of ownership, protection and inheritance. In the realm of the Spirit, it identifies you as God’s peculiar treasure. In ancient times, and even to this day, a seal denoted authority and authenticity. Kings sealed documents to signify that the contents carried their full backing. You might have heard of the “Presidential Seal”, which signifies the authority of your country or some other country’s president. In the same way, God placed His Spirit in you as proof that you’re fully His—marked for divine purpose and backed by heaven. When you received the Holy Spirit, you received the “earnest of our inheritance,” that is, the down payment, the guarantee of everything that belongs to us in Christ (Ephesians 1:14). Since God gave you His Spirit, it means He’s already given you His best. There is nothing else He would withhold from you. Therefore, refuse to walk through life hoping for acceptance or struggling to “qualify.” You’re already accepted, already qualified, already sealed. The Spirit in you is your access to divine wisdom, power and fellowship with God. He’s all that you could ever need; He’s God’s best. He’s the fulfilment of the promise God made to Abraham that through Christ, the blessing and the Spirit would come upon the Gentiles. Recognize and respond to the Holy Spirit in your daily life. Listen to Him. Speak with Him. Acknowledge His presence. He is your Helper, your Teacher, your Advocate, your Strengthener, your Intercessor, your Standby, and your Guide. And because you’re sealed with Him, you’re divinely protected; you’re untouchable, preserved, empowered and distinguished for glory.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies (Genesis 22:17). When God reaffirmed His covenant with Abraham after he offered Isaac, He made a profound promise: “…thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.” This wasn’t just about land or territory. In biblical terms, the “gate” of a city represented authority, governance and control. Therefore, to possess the gate means to take charge spiritually, economically and politically; to be in dominion. That promise wasn’t just for Abraham’s immediate descendants. Galatians 3:16 makes it clear: “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made…And to thy seed, which is Christ.” Being in Christ means you’re Abraham’s seed and a joint-heir of this promise. This means you’re not a victim of circumstances. You have dominion. You have authority over the adversary. You’re empowered to dominate the systems of this world for the Kingdom of God. You can influence education, government, business, technology—whatever field God has placed you in. Take possession. Remember what the Bible says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). This is about inheritance, influence and victory. Exercise dominion in every area of your life and your world. You’re not here to barely survive—you’re here to reign! So, rise up and speak. Take possession through prayer, your faith-filled declarations, and action. Don’t watch evil dominate your environment; cast it out. Possess the “gates” through the authority in the Name of Jesus. CONFESSIONI am Abraham’s seed and an heir of the promise. I possess the gates of my enemies. I take charge in my city, my nation, and my world. I influence systems and structures for the Kingdom of God. I walk in dominion and victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed (Acts 3:25). When God called and blessed Abraham, the blessing was for the entire generations of mankind. The Lord declared, “…in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.” As referenced in our previous study, that seed is Christ, and all who are in Christ are partakers of that blessing. Peter, speaking by the Spirit, told the Jews, “Ye are the children of the prophets and of the covenant…” (Acts 3:25). He was calling attention to their divine heritage, one that included being heirs of God’s covenant with Abraham. Through Christ, this covenant has extended to the Gentiles—to anyone who comes to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, this covenant isn’t just about receiving; it’s about “becoming”; God told Abraham, “I will bless you and make you a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). That means we’ve become vessels of blessing. You’re a blessing to your family, city, nation, and your world. You’re the bearer of God’s covenant kindness; the Hebrew word is “hesed.” “Hesed” is not ordinary kindness. It’s God’s covenant love—His favour, His goodness, His mercy—all wrapped into one. When you show kindness, forgive quickly, walk in love, and bless others with your words and actions, you’re walking in “hesed.” You’re revealing the nature of the Father. You’re a carrier of covenant grace. When you arrive, God arrives. His blessing flows through you to turn lives around, lift others, and glorify His Name. The blessing of Abraham was a covenant of all-round prosperity, fruitfulness, dominion and divine favour. That same blessing is at work in your life today. It lifts, multiplies and establishes you in victory. Glory to God! CONFESSIONI am the seed of Abraham and a carrier of God’s covenant kindness. I am blessed and I am a blessing.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:14). The blessing of Abraham is no ordinary concept—it is the foundation of the Gospel. Many think of it only in terms of material prosperity, but it’s far greater. The blessing of Abraham is the outpouring of God’s grace, His covenant kindness, translated from the Hebrew word, “hesed.” It includes divine favour, fruitfulness, dominion, and most importantly, the promise of the Spirit. When God called Abraham, He said, “I will bless you and make you a blessing…and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:2-3). This was God’s prophetic declaration of the Gospel. It was the announcement of His plan to pour out His love and goodness on all humanity through faith. The Apostle Paul made it clear that this blessing has now come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ. Thus, if you’re in Christ, you’re Abraham’s seed and an heir according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). You’re the fulfilment of God’s promise to Abraham thousands of years ago. That blessing includes justification, righteousness, the Holy Spirit, and divine access to God’s fullness. The Bible says, “So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham” (Galatians 3:9). When God made the promise to Abraham, it was to Abraham’s seed, which is Christ: “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ” (Galatians 3:16). When you received Christ, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. That seal marks you as God’s own and guarantees your access to all the blessings and benefits of the Abrahamic covenant: “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Walk in this consciousness. You’re not trying to be blessed; you’re blessed with faithful Abraham. Declare it. Live it. Spread blessings everywhere. Hallelujah! CONFESSIONI’m the seed of Abraham, blessed and highly favoured in Christ Jesus. The blessing of Abraham is working in me—in my spirit, soul and body. I have access to all that God has made available in Christ. I walk in divine health, prosperity and victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Galatians 3:7-9 KJVKnow ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, [saying], In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead (Romans 1:4). The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Now, that is an extraordinary statement because Jesus said so Himself, and when others referred to Him as the Son of God, He didn’t deny; He affirmed it. But what does “Son of God” actually mean? I’ve explained it several times, but it bears repeating. Son of God doesn’t mean someone born by God in a literal sense. “Son of God” means God in human flesh. So, when Jesus said He was the Son of God, the Jewish people around him understood exactly what He meant. They were angry because they recognized that “Son of God” signifies God becoming a human being. Therefore, they accused Jesus of blasphemy, saying, “You, being a man, make yourself equal with God.” But that’s precisely who Jesus is, and His resurrection from the dead proves it. God became a man, took on flesh and lived among us to save us, that we might also become sons of God: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13). He brought us salvation and eternal life so that we can live like Him and be in fellowship with God. Now we can relate to God as His beloved children. We can talk to Him and He talks to us. He brought us into His class. He’s made us like Himself. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as He is, so are we in this world.” Now we too have become sons of God: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…” (1 John 3:1). Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. He is God manifested in human flesh, and through His resurrection, you gave me eternal life and union with you. I live in the consciousness of this divine relationship, walking in bold fellowship and communion with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (Ephesians 6:16). There are times when troubling thoughts may run through the mind, creating feelings of distress and agitation. Some people think they’re just being emotional when this happens. But what they don’t realize is that the enemy often seeks to take advantage of their emotions by bombarding their minds with negative thoughts. These are fiery darts and missiles. When such negative emotions, resulting from negative thoughts are left unchecked, they could soon lead to anxiety and despondency. These are signs that the adversary is attempting to create turmoil through the mind. But Ephesians 6:16 says, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” At such moments when you find yourself wrestling with thoughts of gloom, use your shield of faith. Actively vocalize the Word of God. Remember, faith must be vocalized and put to work. You ought to declare, “I refuse to be anxious, fretful, nervous or apprehensive. I’m born of God and have overcome Satan, the world and its negative and debilitating effects.” If you don’t actively use your faith against the missiles the enemy throws at your mind, the attacks may extend from the mind to the body. It’s the reason you must be quick to use the Word to cut out and expel all negative thoughts and wicked imaginations. Declare that your spirit, soul, body and mind belong to the Lord and are thus sanctified by the Spirit. Your bold, faith-filled declarations put you over and above every assault of the adversary. The shield of faith quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked. Henceforth, if terrible thoughts come to your mind or something unusual appears in your body, maybe it’s a swelling, a hardening or any abnormality, kill it with your faith-filled words. Your words are not ordinary. The Bible talks about the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word or “Rhema” (Greek) of God (Ephesians 6:17). “Rhema” is the spoken Word, the Word of God that you speak forth. So, when you face challenges, refuse to fret or be moved; rather, declare your victory in Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ….” This is the victorious life in Christ; we use the Word against the enemy. We’re triumphant by the Spirit through our faith-filled words. Glory to God! PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for the shield of faith by which I quench every fiery dart of the enemy. I’m triumphant by the Spirit through my faith-filled confessions. I’m sanctified and vitalized to walk in victory, strength and divine health, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God (Colossians 4:12). What do you do when you observe people in church who aren’t living right or who don’t come to church anymore? Rather than lament the situation or become judgemental of them, intercede in prayer for them until they are restored. Contend for their souls in prayer. Every soul is valuable to God, and the Bible says His desire is for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. It’s part of the reasons pastors and leaders should be careful how they treat and handle those who come to church. Some can be harsh and don’t mind doing things that drive people out of the church. But when you’re a true soul winner, you’re different, because you understand what it takes to win even one soul and will do everything it takes to keep them retained. Many times, I’ve cried over a soul; I kept interceding until the person came to Christ or was restored back in the Faith. This is why we must pray ahead, at the right time, in the right way, and for the right things. When we do that, we win. Churches must prioritize time for intercessory prayer. Epaphras, in our opening scripture, wasn’t praying for his own needs; he was praying for others. He was an intercessor. He was already walking in the glory of God, but he was praying for others to walk in it as well, to come into the fullness of God’s plan for their lives. This is what you must do every day as well. Intercede for others, for the eyes of their understanding to be opened to the realities of God’s Kingdom and be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Hallelujah! PRAYER*Dear Father, I pray for those who have strayed from the truth, that they’d be restored quickly, and that their affections will be on the things of the Spirit, never languid or dull, but fervent in spirit, serving you wholeheartedly, in Jesus’ Name.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4). For us to enjoy peace and prosperity in all godliness and honesty in our societies, the Word of God shows us what to do. We must pray as outlined for us in our opening scripture above. When we do, we will witness the salvation of leaders, heads of institutions, and those in positions of authority. Consequently, the nations will flourish with prosperity and peace. The Holy Spirit, the Chief Strategist, knows exactly how to influence things along these lines. He knows how to convict the leaders, bring them into the Kingdom and cause them to do the right things. Imagine the impact when you intercede for your city, for institutions, the president and his cabinet members, state governors, legislators, commissioners, justices of the Supreme Court, judges, etc. It’ll result in a great harvest because it’s God’s plan. Don’t let anyone convince you that we’re praying too much for the nations. Our prayers are shaping destinies and bringing God’s will to pass. This is God’s blueprint for a quiet and peaceable life, not one achieved by chance or political reforms but by the deliberate prayers of Christians who believe and know the truth. So, take your place in intercession. Become the channel for God’s righteousness, peace and prosperity to permeate your city as the Gospel thrives and the will of God is established in the hearts of men. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for showing me how to pray effectively. I take my place in prayer, interceding for all men, for leaders and those in authority, that they may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. I declare that the Gospel has free course in the nations and the hearts of men are turned to righteousness. Thank you for the great harvest of souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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). As Christians, we live the life of victory in Christ Jesus. This isn’t something we strive for; it’s our heritage. We’re kings and priests, ordained to reign in life. However, not all have come to this understanding. You must train yourself to think, talk, and function with the mindset of a reigning king-priest because that’s who you truly are. You have the dominion. Kings reign. They don’t beg. They exercise authority. This should be your consciousness every day. Don’t struggle to be successful or to prosper; you’ve been made a joint-heir with Christ. Everything you do should reflect kingly glory and excellence. Read our opening scripture in the Amplified Classic; embrace it and walk accordingly. It says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” Sadly, some live far below their calling because they haven’t renewed their minds to this truth. They speak the language of failure and act like mere men, not realizing they are royalty. Carry yourself with dignity, authority, and dominion. Walk with confidence because you know your words carry power. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, “Where the word of a king is, there is power….” Romans 5:17, AMPC says, “…those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” If this hasn’t been your mindset, change it today. Declare, “I am a king-priest in Christ! I walk in dominion, I reign in life, and I display the virtues of my heavenly Father!” This is your heritage. This is your life in Christ. PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for calling me into a life of victory, excellence and dominion. I am a king-priest, called to reign in life and display your perfections.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Likewise THE SPIRIT ALSO HELPETH OUR INFIRMITIES: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26). When we speak in tongues, we do so by faith. We open our mouths and the Holy Spirit gives us utterance. Here, your spirit is praying in tongues. The Bible says, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful” (1 Corinthians 14:14). So, it’s your spirit that prays in tongues even though the utterance is granted to your spirit by the Holy Spirit. But there’s another one that’s a higher level of prayer. That’s what is written for us in Romans 8:26 which we read as our opening scripture. The underlined phrase “…the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities…” tells us how the Spirit helps and takes hold together with us in our weakness. He props you up and helps you pray in line with the perfect will of God especially when you face dire situations and are at your wit’s end. He takes over and helps you pray correctly. The AMPC puts it beautifully. It says, “So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.” At this higher level of prayer, the Holy Spirit Himself has taken over, making intercessions with groanings and deep sighs according to the will of God. You may find yourself crying uncontrollably but not out of pain; keep at it and don’t be troubled. It’s the Holy Spirit praying through you. This is the most effective kind of prayer, and it’s the Spirit’s joy to make it happen for you. So, each time you pray, yield yourself to the Holy Spirit to pray through you, and you’ll be amazed at the impact and the tremendous results in your life and circumstances. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit who helps me in prayer. I yield myself completely to Him to intercede through me with groanings and deep sighs, causing your perfect will to be established in my life and in the lives of others. I walk in the light of your Word, always led by the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come (1 Timothy 4:8). There’s a phenomenon known as deja vu, the feeling, sense or consciousness that something that’s happening has been experienced or seen before. You might have experienced such a thing at one time or the other; it just lends credence to the fact that man is a spirit. When something happens and you feel like you’ve seen or experienced it before, it’s because your spirit was truly involved in the experience even though you’re not able to tell when. It might have either been through a trance, vision, or even as low as a dream. Many have been trying to explore this, wondering if such experiences are even real. Well, the human spirit does have its own activities and they can happen whether you’re awake or asleep, conscious, unconscious or subconscious. How do you take advantage of that? It’s by training and educating your human spirit through deep study, meditating, and acting on the Word. Your involvement in church, learning God’s Word in your cell and fellowship groups, attending services, and studying Rhapsody of Realities all contribute to the training of your spirit. But you can accelerate the process by deliberately studying God’s Word and putting it to work. James 1:22 & 25 says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” “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.” As you act on the Word, your spirit is trained, your understanding is sharpened, and you become more attuned to spiritual realities. CONFESSIONMy spirit is attuned to spiritual realities, being enlightened by God’s Word. I grow in wisdom and walk in greater spiritual awareness. I refuse to be limited by human reasoning, for I function with the mind of Christ. Thank you, heavenly Father, for the light of your Word in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY1 Corinthians 2:12-14 KJVNow we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 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. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. Joshua 1:8 KJVThis 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. James 1:22-25 KJVBut 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 forgetteth 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.

As I meditate on the Word, I think thoughts of peace, joy, victory, prosperity, and good health, thus transcending the ordinary life and manifesting the supernatural in every situation.
