Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority…(Ephesians 1:19-21 NIV). The Lord Jesus, when He was raised from the dead, was enthroned far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this present age but also in the one to come. He has the supreme authority in all the universe. But guess what? He raised us together with Him and seated us together with Him. This is because, according to the Scriptures, when Jesus ascended to heaven and sat on the right hand of God, which refers to the place of power, dominion and authority, we were in Him. Therefore, we’re seated together with Him in the place of power and authority. We’re enthroned to reign. Ephesians 2:6 AMPC says, “And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” It explains why He gave us His Name to live by, to use in the earth: because in heaven He represents us. We stand in Jesus’ stead and enforce the will of the Father here on earth. He said in Mark 16:17-18, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” In Matthew 10:8 NKJV He also said, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons….” So, exercise your authority and dominion in Christ over sickness, disease, death and the elements of this world. Live and operate from the very seat and presence of divine power. In Christ, you’re in the place of the greatest influence. The forces or elements of this world may want to exert their negativities on you and get you to believe or act contrary to the Word. But you must maintain your composure and reign over them in the Name of Jesus. Christianity is a life of reigning, and we reign through words. This consciousness and understanding changes how you pray, speak and make decisions. Don’t react to Satan’s antics; instead, dictate outcomes. Speak with divine authority because you occupy Christ’s seat, functioning with His divine power. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for raising me up with Christ and seating me together with Him in the place of power, dominion and divine authority. I function from this place of glory and authority, ruling over darkness, circumstances and every opposition. I declare peace in my world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him… (Daniel 6:3). In the Kingdom of God, excellence is our culture. We don’t strive for excellence; we do excellent things. Excellence is the nature of the Father, and because we’re born of Him, we express that same nature in everything we do. Excellence distinguishes you; it positions you above mediocrity and gives you the advantage that skills alone can’t give you. Daniel’s elevation above his peers wasn’t based on mere skills, politics or connections; it was the spirit of excellence in him: “Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm” (Daniel 6:3). That same spirit is in you because the Holy Spirit lives in you. Excellence is about character, consistency, and distinction in your work and attitude. God didn’t call you to be average; He anointed you to shine, to show forth His glory: “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). 2 Peter 1:3 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 virtue.” You were called to glory and virtue; virtue means excellence. So, whether in ministry, business, academics, or in your daily life; manifest excellence. Let it reflect in your vision, speech, appearance, the way you execute tasks, and in your punctuality. Manifest precision, diligence, and distinction. Don’t excuse mediocrity. Excel. Give your best, not because men are watching, but because you represent the Kingdom. You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and excellence is part of righteousness. Every task is an opportunity to express that divine excellence. Therefore, be detailed, diligent, dependable, and exceptional. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the spirit of excellence working in me by the Holy Ghost. I function in precision, diligence, and distinction. I represent your Kingdom accurately and gloriously. My life and work are expressions of your excellence. I refuse to settle for average, for greater is He that is in me than he that’s in the world. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …he that winneth souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30). In our previous study, part of what we learnt was the importance of the right strategies in soul winning. Don’t continue with the same activities that yield no results. Adjust your approach from time to time, following the guidance of the Spirit. At times, the venue of the meetings could even be the problem. A simple shift in location or format of your meetings could make a significant difference. Also, evangelism may sometimes cost money, and that’s okay. So plan your outreaches like they’re important events. Imagine you were planning a professional or business dinner or breakfast meeting; you’d likely not leave anything to chance. Likewise, ensure all the fine details are captured when planning your outreach programs. Dress well. Create a joyful atmosphere and make everything inspiring. And here’s a vital key: invite the right people, people who are prospects for salvation and discipleship, not those who are already Christians and deeply committed in other churches. Also, avoid reciprocal invitations that may likely pull you out of your place of worship. Just because someone attended your program doesn’t mean you must attend theirs. It’s best to stay rooted in your church and be committed. There’s no glory in being unstable or hopping from place to place. Soul winning is not just about the act; there’s also the wisdom behind it. That’s why the Bible says he that wins souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30). So, be discerning. Be led by the Spirit. And most importantly, be committed to your church family and its evangelistic missions. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the wisdom and divine strategies to reach the lost. I’m effective in soul winning, wise in my approach, and fruitful in results.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind (Matthew 13:47). In soul winning, there’s the ministry of personal evangelism, the one-on-one relentless pursuit of souls until they’re fully won and established in the Faith. But there’s also the “large-scale catch.” The Lord Jesus, in our theme verse, likened the Kingdom of heaven to a net cast into the sea that gathered fish of every kind. Picture a net thrown into the sea of humanity, drawing in people from every walk of life. That’s what happens through our mass evangelism efforts, our crusades, campaigns, and outreach programs where we reach out and haul sinners en masse into the Kingdom. That’s what the Master describes in Matthew 13:47-48; our deliberate, organized effort to reach and bring in multitudes. It says, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.” That’s salvation, calling people to Christ, bringing them into the Church. That’s the drawing in of the harvest. So, as a cell or fellowship group, as a church, zone or ministry, when are you casting the net? It’s good to encourage individual witnessing, people going out daily to tell others about the Lord Jesus. But there are times we must plan and act together to reach whole communities, cities, towns and nations with a clear, strategic mission to bring them into the Kingdom. It’s time to organize and reach many en masse. Set a target where you plan to reach a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or a hundred thousand people at once and go for it. Perhaps your target is to reach a million people or more; go for it. The Lord will bring it to fruition. It’s His work, and we’re partners with Him. He’ll give you the strategies to succeed. Anything born of Him prevails, multiplies and blossoms. That’s the mindset you should have. He said the harvest is plenty, and we’re His labourers for the large-scale catch. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for showing me the power of both personal and collective evangelism. I’m committed to the end-time, large-scale harvest to gather multitudes into the Kingdom.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire (Ezekiel 28:14). If anyone were to ask, “Why didn’t God destroy Satan from the beginning?” The answer lies in one profound truth: Satan was anointed. The Bible calls him “…the anointed cherub….” And part of what the anointing does is that it protects. God gave Satan an unction that couldn’t be destroyed or undone arbitrarily. God doesn’t fight Himself. His gifts and calling are without repentance (Romans 11:29). That’s why Satan hasn’t been outrightly destroyed. He had a divine unction that even rebellion didn’t immediately cancel. Instead, God set in motion a redemptive plan. He brought in One who was anointed to defeat Satan on legal and spiritual grounds. Consider the account in Jude 1:9 that says Michael the archangel contended with Satan over the body of Moses. The Bible says Michael didn’t bring a railing accusation against Satan, but rather, he said, “…The Lord rebuke thee.” That’s because Satan had gained a legal position of authority. When Adam fell through high treason, he handed over his God-given dominion to Satan. Satan, at that point, gained something higher than being an anointed cherub; he gained Adamic authority, which elevated him to a higher rank than angels. Michael recognized this. Though he was a high-ranking archangel, he understood the legality of Satan’s claim. So, he invoked a higher authority: the Lord’s Name. And in that Name, we’re superior to Satan and we rule over him. So, the first reason God didn’t destroy Satan was because of the anointing. The second was the authority Satan gained through Adam’s fall. But God’s plan wasn’t thwarted. The Lord Jesus, the second Adam, came, born of the Spirit, anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, and defeated Satan legally, spiritually, and eternally. The most beautiful part is that we did it together, for we were in Him in His death, burial, resurrection, and ultimate victory over Satan, hell and the demons of darkness. Therefore, YOU have completely, permanently and eternally defeated Satan. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the wisdom and depth of your Word. I recognize your justice, your power and your unchanging commitment to righteousness. Thank you for sending the Lord Jesus, the anointed One, for the salvation of mankind, giving us dominion and authority over Satan and his cohorts. I walk in that victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord (Romans 12:11 AMPC). The tendency of fire is to burn out. So, for fire to be sustained, it must be fuelled. The same is true of your zeal and passion for the Lord and spiritual things. Read our opening scripture again; it says, “Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.” In other words, be consistently ablaze for the Lord. It’s your responsibility. Be a burning and a shining light. Some may criticize you for it; they may call you a “fanatic” or an extremist. Others may outrightly ridicule you and persecute you for your spirituality, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re doing the right thing, fulfilling your purpose in Christ. It’s the will of God for you to live in a continual state of spiritual incandescence, always radiating His presence. He wants you burning with the Spirit and manifesting His life and power every day and in every place. The secret is staying filled with the Spirit: “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” (Ephesians 5:18-21). Constantly fellowship with the Holy Spirit and meditate on the Word. Pray often, especially for those in your world; your cell members, your leaders, your church family, your friends and loved ones, and those with whom you work or do business. Write their names down and continue to prevail in intercession for them. There’s something about prevailing prayer; it’s one of the ways to sustain your holy glow, the fire of the Spirit that keeps you fervent and passionate about the things of God. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve studied or how much you know. It doesn’t matter what the Lord has told you; you must stay in fellowship with Him through prayer; otherwise, you could lose the spiritual fervour that should accompany your knowledge. There’s a passion, a divine glow that comes from consistent, earnest prayer, and without it, your spiritual energy could wane. So spend time in heartfelt intercession, and you’ll always be lambent in the spirit. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for igniting my heart with passion and zeal for the things of the Spirit. I remain steadfast and burning with the Holy Ghost, serving you with joy and power.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ…(2 Peter 3:18). 1 Peter 2:1-2 says, “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” This gives a remarkable insight as to how to grow spiritually and the kind of life you ought to be living. You’re to put away every trace of wickedness, deceit, insincerity, pretence, envy, and slander. The Living Bible renders it beautifully: “So get rid of your feelings of hatred. Don’t just pretend to be good! Be done with dishonesty and jealousy and talking about others behind their backs” (1 Peter 2:1). Rather than continue in these things, God instructs, “…desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2). He wants you to grow up in your salvation. Now that you have received Christ, have a strong desire for the Word. Long to grow in the things of God. Crave the Word of God with intensity and delight. I’ve met many people over the years who had such a deep desire to grow. They were hungry for the Lord. They asked questions, searched the Scriptures, attended church services regularly, and yearned to learn. It’s always a beautiful thing to behold. Have a heartfelt, continuous craving for the Word. Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Let your appetite for the Word be insatiable. Like Job, esteem and desire the Word more than your necessary food (Job 23:12). Make it your delight, and as a result, whatsoever you do will prosper (Read Psalm 1:1-3). Hallelujah! That’s the will of God for you. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for your Word that builds me up and establishes me in the faith. By your Word, I grow up into the fullness of my salvation, strong, unshakable and fruitful in every good work; prosperous and in health, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learnt in soul winning is the value of persistence in prayer. When you’re interceding for someone’s salvation, you move into deep travail, wailing in the Spirit. You already said before entering your place of prayer, “Today’s prayer is deep travail” because you know the worth of a soul. When the Lord Jesus spoke of the man who found one pearl of great price, He said the man sold all he had to obtain it (Matthew 13:45-46). That’s what a soul means to God, and that’s what we understand as soul winners that make us groan in prayer and keep pressing until a soul is won and established in the Kingdom. When you intercede like this, you continue in the Spirit until there’s a release. The love of Christ compels you. You’re not praying out of selfish interest. You’re not crying in prayer over someone you want to marry or do business with; it’s strictly for their salvation. You’re driven by love and the Spirit’s burden for a life that must be transformed, a soul that must be won for Christ. Read our opening scripture again; it lets you know that in the place of intercession, you pray passionately that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ shines in the hearts of those who haven’t yet known the Lord, prevailing over darkness, religion and deception. You don’t stop; you declare that every resistance in their hearts to the Gospel is broken, they’re delivered from Satan’s dominion, and as they hear the message, their hearts are open to receive it for their salvation. Hallelujah! Remember, “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]” (James 5:16 AMPC). Your heartfelt intercessory prayers will make the required power available for their salvation. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for counting me faithful and committing to me the ministry of reconciliation. I’m stirred and compelled by your love to intercede for the lost, praying with passion and divine urgency. And as I do, they’re delivered from darkness into light, and from the power of Satan unto God. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it (Matthew 13:45-46). The Lord Jesus likened the Kingdom of heaven to a merchant seeking precious pearls. And when he found one pearl of great price, he sold everything he had to purchase it. This shows us the immense value God places on a single soul. Every soul matters deeply to God, for they’re worth the life of Jesus Christ. You’re not just reaching people to grow your church, fellowship or cell group; we’re not merely adding numbers; we’re going after treasures. That one person you prayed for, followed up, encouraged and refused to give up on, even when they seemed disinterested or resistant to the message, is seen by heaven as a pearl of great price. Many years ago, I was just a young teenager, about 13 years old, curious, distracted, and unsure of many things. But there was a gentleman who wouldn’t give up on me. He kept following me up, reaching out, helping me stay focused, serving the Lord. He was one person God used to help me get steady in the things of God. But for his persistence, I might never have stepped into ministry. That’s what your intercession and follow-up can do for someone. That’s what your consistent prayers of intercession can achieve. When you lead someone to Christ or help stabilize a new Christian, you may be impacting generations and rescuing a destiny. So, never underestimate the worth of one soul. Recall the teaching of the Master when He talked about the lost sheep. He said there’s exceeding joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine just persons that need no repentance (Luke 15:7). That one person you’re praying for, calling, visiting, and encouraging is not just another face, but heaven’s delight; a pearl of inestimable value. And the Lord Jesus says it’s worth giving everything to win that one. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the value you’ve placed on every soul. I see through your eyes and reach out to others with the same love and tenacity with which you reached out to the world. I recognise that every soul is a pearl of great price, and I’m inspired to go after them with passion and grace, and in the power of the Spirit. Thank you for making me a soul winner, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYLuke 15:4-7 KJVWhat man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. John 3:16-17 KJVFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 2 Timothy 2:8-10 KJVRemember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, “…the kingdom of heaven is likened unto A MAN which sowed GOOD SEED in HIS FIELD” (Matthew 13:24). That “man” is the Lord Himself, while the “good seed” represents the children of the Kingdom. The “field,” as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else’s field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still belongs to Jesus. The Bible says while men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares in the field. Tares are the children of the wicked one. The Lord Jesus explained clearly that the enemy who sowed these tares is the devil. So we understand why both good and evil are seen operating side-by-side in the world and even in places associated with God’s work. In verse 30, while still explaining the same parable, the Master said, “Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” That harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. At the appointed time, the tares will be gathered and burned, but the wheat, the righteous, will be gathered into His barn. Glory to God! This is so comforting. We’re the good seed, the children of the Kingdom, planted in the field of the world for a purpose. That’s why we can stand boldly anywhere and declare, “We own the world,” because it belongs to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and we’re His heirs. We’re in charge and in control; we’re here to shine and bear fruits of righteousness. No matter what opposition or darkness there is, remember this: the field is His and He planted you in it. So, shine as a light, reign as a king, and bring in the harvest. Hallelujah! CONFESSIONI shine as a light and bear fruits of righteousness. I dominate and prevail over the works of darkness because I’m the seed of Christ. Thank you, Lord, for making me a vessel of glory and impact in this generation, winning souls and bringing many into the Kingdom. Amen. FURTHER STUDYMatthew 13:24-30 KJVMatthew 13:38-40 KJVThe field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 1 Corinthians 10:26 KJVFor the earth [is] the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work (John 4:34). The divine assignment God has entrusted to us is to bring salvation to the nations, expand His kingdom, and complete the work that the Lord Jesus started. The Bible says, “…he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand” (Isaiah 53:10). In Mark 16:15, He said, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” This is our magnum opus—the grandest work of all history. Others before us began it, but we’ve been called to complete it. This generation has been chosen for the grand finale, and we will prevail. Hallelujah! We’re the most equipped generation in the history of the Church. We’ve been blessed beyond measure. We’ve received knowledge, insight, platforms, resources, and divine connections. We’ve been given all the grace necessary. There are no excuses. We have the message. We have the mandate. And we have the means. When you set long-term goals for career, travel, or personal success, make sure to consider setting your personal targets for the full preaching of the Gospel. The Master did. He said, “…My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). His focus was on completing His divine mission. The Lord gave us a clear vision; He said, “…this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14). And we’re the ones to preach it. We’ve been graced and empowered to do it, and we will not falter. The Gospel is penetrating every nation, every city, and every community. Give more of your time, energy and resources into the Gospel. Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, knowing that your labour of love is yielding eternal harvest. Stay committed; intercede for sinners, persevere in love, and let your financial involvement continue to bear lasting fruits for the Kingdom. We’re in the final stretch. Stay fervent. Stay yielded to the Spirit. The Gospel will cover the earth as the Lord has said. Hallelujah! PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for counting me faithful and making me a partner in the end-time mandate of completing the full preaching of the Gospel in the nations of the world.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high (Luke 24:49). The Lord Jesus spent about three years with His disciples before His death, burial and resurrection. During the period, they learnt from Him, walked with Him, watched His miracles, heard His message, and received direct impartations from Him. They had a message, they had the calling, and they had been trained. Yet, before they could take a step into ministry, He gave them this vital instruction: “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). In other words, even though they were ready in every other sense, they needed one more thing: the promise of my Father. That promise was the Holy Spirit, and without Him, their efforts wouldn’t produce divine results. But with Him, they would be effective.And that’s exactly what happened. Luke, in Acts 2:14-41, describes how the same Peter who had once denied Jesus (Luke 22:61-62) stood up boldly on the day of Pentecost and delivered a powerful message that transformed three thousand lives: “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them…” (Acts 2:14). He didn’t stop there. In Acts 4:4, after he and John healed a lame man, he preached boldly again and the Bible says, “…many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.” That’s effectiveness. That’s divine speed. Through the Holy Spirit, Peter’s outreach expanded rapidly, resulting in thousands being saved within a very short time. Today, we have the same Holy Spirit, and the results are the same. He’s made us effective witnesses. We’re not trying to get into that place of power; we’ve already been endued with power (Acts 1:8). We’ve been empowered to change our world as able ministers of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 3:5-6). We’re making an impact, transforming lives all over the world. We’re functioning exactly as God intended, with power, with dominion, and with undeniable results. We’re moving with the speed of the Spirit, for the Bible says, “A quick work will the Lord do, and cut it short in righteousness” (Romans 9:28). This is not by might, nor by human power, but by the Spirit of the living God. It’s God’s wisdom, God’s speed, and God’s ability at work in us. The Gospel is prevailing. The nations are open. The harvest is abundant. And this is all to His glory! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and has made me effective in life and ministry. I’m walking in power, wisdom and dominion, producing results that bring you glory, advancing your Kingdom with divine speed, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For I delight in the law of God after the inward man (Romans 7:22). In Romans 7:22, Paul the apostle uses a striking phrase: “the inward man.” That’s the real you. The outward man, clothed in beautiful apparel, is simply the house in which the real person lives. So, when Paul said, “I delight in the law of God after the inward man,” he was showing us something deeply spiritual: your inner man is active, aware, and responsive to God. Everything you are, outwardly, is a reflection of your inner person. In the spirit realm, you don’t appear as someone else; no! You look like you. So when you see yourself in the spirit, there’s no confusion or disconnect. You’ll say, “Yes, that’s me!” Your spirit carries your identity. Someone might ask, “If I’m physically fat, for example, does that mean my spirit is fat?” No, this is not about body mass or the anatomy of the physical body. In the spirit, you don’t see a fat or thin person; you simply see you. The real transformation, the one that truly matters, is your inner man. That’s why the emphasis is building your inner man; that’s where the day-to-day renewal takes place: “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16). If you want changes in your life, start from the inside. Many struggle with discipline, for instance, but discipline isn’t achieved by external effort alone. It begins in the inward man. Train your spirit, feed it with the Word, and your outward life will align. That’s why we say, “Change the inside first”; change the inner man, and the outward man will follow. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for enlightening me through your Word to recognise my true self, the inward man. I grow in character and strength from within, and my outward life is shaped by the excellence of my spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY2 Corinthians 4:16 AMPCTherefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day. 1 Peter 3:4 KJVBut [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Ephesians 3:16 KJVThat he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading PlanHebrews 11:1-16 & Ezekiel 5-7 2-Year Bible Reading PlanJohn 11:47-57 & 1 Chronicles 13 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am flourishing and bearing all-around fruits. I have significant attainments and supernatural productivity. I experience increase of every size. I have mighty harvests of blessings and miracles. My ground is producing new seeds and my seeds produce in rapid succession. There is abundance of harvest everywhere for me because protocols are broken for my sake. I possess and eat the good of the land because I have a goodly heritage. The wisdom of God is at work in me causing me to bring forth good things from within. I have an excellent mind. I bring forth creative ideas, results, and innovations. My mind is blessed of God. I’m extravagantly rich. I dwell in peace with safety and prosperity. My peace and prosperity are unending. This is my season for exaltation. That favour of God that brings promotion now rests upon me. I have been given great power, prosperity, and control. I am rightly positioned for all the Lord has planned for me this year. God is happy to do me good. He delights in my prosperity, my promotion, and exaltation. I am wondrously and marvelously helped of God. I declare that there is money everywhere, especially around me. I do not need to look for money. Money is coming to me from everywhere. I don’t go after money; money comes to me by free course unhindered. Money comes to me in a continuous stream — never stopping and never-ending. Resources are locating me right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. God is supplying me with continuous streams of finances. Angels remember me. God remembers me. I do not worry about human beings remembering me because the Lord causes men to bring finances to me. I have entered a new financial level by the Holy Ghost. My finances are being multiplied. Angels are at work even now. I live in financial abundance now. With my mouth, I steer my life in God’s direction for me — in prosperity, health, and abundance. I refuse failure, poverty, sickness, and anything that’s of darkness. The Word of God is light, and darkness is completely obliterated as I speak it forth. My victories and triumphant life in Christ are assured in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.
