Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee (Isaiah 43:2). You may find yourself buffeted by pressures and persecutions on every side for the sake of the Gospel; don’t despair. What you’re doing has a future. Your labour in the Lord is not in vain; it is purposeful and eternal. God never promised that everything would be smooth or without challenges. He told us there would be difficulties, trials and adversaries. But in the midst of them all, He assured us of His presence and victory. Recall what we read in our opening scripture; He didn’t say there would be no tempest or fire. The promise is not the absence of challenges but the assurance of His presence and protection for you in the midst of adversities. It helps you understand the reason He says, “Count it all joy when you go through diverse tests” (James 1:2). The Bible tells us in Daniel 3 about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, three young men who stood firm in their faith despite fierce opposition. Their story is often remembered for the fiery furnace and their miraculous deliverance, but there’s more to it. Before they were thrown into the flames, they faced condemnation, rejection and false accusations. They endured hatred and opposition simply because they refused to compromise their faith. 2 Corinthians 4:17 says, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” So, there’re things you’ll have to face, go through, stand against and confront for you to live the godly life that the Lord has given you. There may be adversaries on every side, but in the midst of them all, you’re more than a conqueror. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). He assures in Matthew 28:20 (NIV), “…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Set your eyes on the future and on His glory. Refuse to be distracted by the temporary challenges. Be confident that no matter what, His Word will prevail in your life and His glory will always be revealed in and through you. CONFESSIONI stand firm in faith, irrespective of the challenges or oppositions, because the greater One lives in me. God’s Word puts me over every trial, and I walk in perpetual victory. Thank you Lord for your presence, your protection, and your Word that never fails, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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). Are you aware that there’s power at work in you? Yes, you have eternal life in you, and that life gives you power over sickness, disease and infirmities. You have power to cast out devils, heal sicknesses and cure diseases. You’ve been empowered to live in victory and unending prosperity. This power in you is activated by acknowledgement and declaration. If you don’t acknowledge it, it can’t work. Sometimes, in a bid to sound humble, some people deny what they have. If, maybe, you said to them, “Oh, you really have power,” their typical response would be, “I don’t have any power; only Jesus has power.” But they’re wrong. The same Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “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.” Don’t deny what He gave you simply because you think you’re being humble. Acknowledge and affirm that Jesus gave you power to do the impossible—power over all things. Think about it: He gave us the Holy Spirit to live in us. What do you think He’s doing inside you? Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the power of God. Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you….” That means when you received the Holy Spirit, you received power. Observe how Jesus spoke. He said, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself” (John 5:26). Some people must have thought He was too proud for saying that, but He was declaring truth. Doesn’t the Bible say, “…as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17)? Acknowledge and declare that you’re full of power. Let it be in the consciousness of your daily language. Like Prophet Micah, declare, “But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD…” (Micah 3:8). That’s how you activate spiritual power. Talking this way will kill any tumour or disease that tries to rear its ugly head in your body. CONFESSIONI’m full of power by the Spirit of the Lord and can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I walk in divine health, unending prosperity, and supernatural strength. I’m triumphant over every adversity because I function in the authority and dominion of Christ, in whom I live and move and have my being. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30). We’re the body of Christ. We’re members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. We’re intimately connected to Him and to one another. In 1 Corinthians 12:26-27, Paul further explains this unity: “And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” This means that every Christian has a specific role and function within the body of Christ. When one part of the body is affected, the entire body feels it. We’re not isolated individuals but interconnected members of the same body—Christ’s body. Ephesians 1:22-23 reveals the power and authority given to the Church: “And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body….” The Church, being the body of Christ, carries His authority and power on earth. Ephesians 4:11-12 gives us an insight into how He builds His Church today: “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” The word “edifying” means “building”; it’s the same word the Lord Jesus used when He said, “…I will build my church…” (Matthew 16:18). Through the fivefold ministry offices and the work of every Christian, He builds His Church. The whole body grows by that which every joint supplies: “From him the whole body…grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work” (Ephesians 4:16 NIV). Every time a soul is won, it’s like adding another block to the building. Those who minister are like builders, placing each block in its proper place. Each Christian is a specific member of the body—the building. Together, we’re building a magnificent structure, the body of Christ. As we continue to win souls and grow, the Church becomes more beautiful and impactful, reflecting the glory of Christ. This isn’t a task for a select few but for every Christian. Each of us has a role to play, and together, we’re building something extraordinary for God’s glory. PRAYERDear Father, I understand my role and actively participate in building your Church. I’m graced to win souls and strengthened to fulfil my calling. I declare that your Church shines as a beacon of hope and power in the world, as it is a praise in the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us (Ephesians 2:14). Angels, as far as we know, will live forever. But the life they have isn’t eternal life. They don’t have the organic and existential attributes of deity. That’s why they can’t have real fellowship with God. Only the new creations in Christ, are called into fellowship with divinity: “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9). Do you see why we’re different from angels? We were brought into fellowship with Jesus Christ. We’ve become associates or sharers of His life, glory and nature. In fact, the Bible tells us He brought us into such a relationship that made us joint heirs with Him (Romans 8:17). What a blessed reality! There’s something about this fellowship that’s extraordinary. It’s deeper than being brought into God’s class or being made friends with God; it’s the most significant aspect of our fellowship with Him and we find it in John 14:10. There, the Lord Jesus was speaking to Philip, one of His disciples, and said, “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” If you understand this scripture, everything about your life is settled. Who was Jesus referring to when He said, “The Father that dwelleth in me”? He was referring to the Holy Spirit. That’s the same Holy Spirit that lives in you today; He’s the Father that dwells in you. 1 Corinthians 3:16 says, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” Now you can understand why the Bible says, “…truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3). Our fellowship, our oneness with divinity is the biggest thing about Christianity. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for your grace, your love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit that I enjoy. Thank you for making me inseparably one with you and a partaker of the divine nature.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway (Acts 10:1-2). God is plainly against selfishness. Conversely, He’ll seize any opportunity to save, bless, and uplift a giver. Notice the word “save”; even non-Christians who are givers—who are liberal and generous—get God’s attention, and He seeks to save them. If He can find someone to pray for them, He will exercise His legal right to act and guide them into salvation. The story of Cornelius in Acts 10 beautifully illustrates this truth. Cornelius was a Roman centurion, a Gentile and not part of the Jewish community. Yet, he was a devout man who feared God and was known for his generosity. He gave alms to the people and prayed continually. His giving and prayers did not go unnoticed; they ascended as a memorial before God. As a result of his generosity, God sent an angel to Cornelius with a divine instruction to send for Peter who would bring him the message of salvation. Think about it; an angel appeared to Cornelius because of his giving! God orchestrated an entire salvation plan for Cornelius, his family, and his household because of his generosity. As Peter preached about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit fell upon everyone present. They began speaking in tongues and praising God. This moment was a pivotal point in the Early Church, highlighting the universal vision of the Gospel. God despises stinginess; it is contrary to His nature and reflects the nature of the devil. So, every time God looks at a stingy person, He sees the enemy. But when He sees a giver, He sees something of Himself in that person and He’s drawn to that one in love. 2 Corinthians 9:7 AMPC says, “…God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving].” Let this be your description and your experience of God’s love will be overwhelming. CONFESSIONI’m a cheerful giver, and through my giving, I position myself in alignment with God’s divine purpose, experiencing His abundant grace. I function in supernatural blessings, favours and increase. Thank you Lord for making me a channel of blessings to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY2 Corinthians 9:6-7 AMPC[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who SOWS generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings. 7 Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]. Proverbs 11:24-25There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Acts 10:3-4He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). As Christians, when we say Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives, it means more than He being our saviour. The Hebrew and Greek words for “Lord” carry the same meaning, which includes master, caretaker, bread provider, sustainer, boss, and teacher. This is the essence of what it means for Jesus to be Lord; it means He’s your sustainer, your master, your caretaker, your bread provider, and your teacher. If this is true, and thank God it is, then it means He’s more than capable of taking care of you. You don’t have to beg Him to take care of you or plead with Him to provide your needs with a sense of desperation as if He’s reluctant to do so. Such a disposition reflects a lack of understanding of who Jesus is as your Lord and Sustainer. Read His words in Matthew 7:11, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” Ponder this for a moment. You have to learn to trust the Lord and rely solely on His Word. Act on His Word. The world’s systems are failing. In the days of Joseph, the Bible records that money failed. Inflation was rampant and the currency became worthless. But in the midst of that crisis, God’s people experienced supernatural prosperity. Why? Their trust was in the Lord, their sustainer. The Lord Jesus is more than able to sustain you through every season of life. Read Matthew 6:25-34 where He stresses your value and then tells you what to do and what not to do. So, act on His Word today. The triumphant life is for those who act on God’s Word. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for being my Lord and Sustainer. I refuse to be anxious about anything because you are my caretaker, provider, teacher, source and sustainer. My trust is in you, and I function in supernatural prosperity as I live by your Word, in victory every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYGenesis 47:15And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. Psalm 37:25I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Matthew 6:25-34Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption (Psalm 16:10). Everything about the Lord Jesus was prophesied ahead of time: His birth, His life, His death, burial, resurrection, and His glorious ascension to heaven. No wonder He said, “…Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7). His crucifixion, for example, was prophesied a thousand years beforehand. The psalmist gave such a beautiful description of it in Psalm 22 (read the entire reference). The Prophet Zachariah also prophesied about His death in Zechariah 12:10, saying, “…and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him….” This prophecy foretold the piercing of Jesus’ hands and feet, which happened during His crucifixion. Furthermore, Psalm 16:10 tells us about His resurrection, saying, “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” When Jesus died on the Cross, He went to hell because every sinner who died was supposed to go to hell, and Jesus bore the sins of the whole world. However, in hell, He defeated the devil and the demons of darkness and came triumphantly back to life. Jonah’s experience also foreshadowed His resurrection. Jonah 1:17 says, “…And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.” The Lord Jesus referenced this in Matthew 12:40 NIV, declaring, “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Psalm 110:1 is prophetic of His exaltation; it says, “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” The Lord Jesus affirmed that this prophecy referred to Himself: “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?” (Matthew 22:41-45). These prophecies and their fulfilment are essential to understanding the things Jesus said about His death and resurrection. They authenticate the truth that He’s indeed the Son of God—God in human flesh—as Romans 1:4 tells us. It says Jesus is declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Blessed be God! PRAYERDear Father, I acknowledge the undeniable proof of your love demonstrated through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank you for the victory He wrought for us, and for making us triumphant in Him. I live in the reality of His finished works, proclaiming His Lordship and righteousness to the ends of the earth. Hallelujah!

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). Many today have been conditioned to expect certain ailments or health challenges when they get to a certain age in life. They’ve been told that between ages 45 and 50 their bodies will begin to slow down, certain pains will set in, and at age 60, heart problems may arise. These conclusions have been drawn from mere human wisdom and experience, not divine truth. As a child of God, your life is different; you’re not an ordinary person. You’re not subject to the limitations and corrupting influences of this world. Never accept the verdict from man’s limited knowledge stemming from the wisdom of this world with respect to your health. Your body is not subject to the elements of this world and the vagaries of nature. You’re in Christ and from Christ where divinity rules. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” This means no inherited sickness or weakness, because you’re born of God, inundated with eternal life. Your identity is not in your earthly lineage. It doesn’t matter what ran in your biological family—heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.—those things have no hold on you! You’re a new creation in Christ, born into a new family—the family of God. If sickness tries to attach itself to your body, you say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I rebuke this sickness. I remove it from my body!” Your words have power; use them to establish your divine health. Take charge of your body. Speak in tongues and charge your spirit and then give the Word concerning your health. Your body will respond to the Word of God. You belong to the divine class, full of the life of God! Even now, say, “I refuse to be sick. I live above age-related or environment-related conditions. My blood pressure is normal, my heart is perfect, and all my organs function perfectly. I walk in divine health and strength all my days, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.” PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the reality of my divine nature in Christ. I refuse to accept the limitations, sicknesses, and conditions that the world prescribes. My body is full of life, health and strength. No infirmity can thrive in me because the Spirit of God quickens my body. I live victoriously, walking in divine health and supernatural vitality, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37). Not realizing their value and power, many misuse words. They don’t speak correctly. Speaking correctly means speaking in consonance with the Word of God; saying what God has said. Hebrews 13:5-6 says, “…for he hath said…So that we may boldly say….” Words are “things”; they’re living; they’re powerful; they’re creative. Words shape destinies, define realities, and determine outcomes. If you want to understand why your life is the way it is, review your words; listen to yourself. The words you speak determine your health, your appearance, and even your future. Your thoughts and words shape not just your life but even your physical appearance. That’s because words are thoughts clothed in vocabulary, and every person is a reflection of their thoughts. Therefore, if words are an expression of thoughts, then your words reveal your character. No one can live beyond the character of their words; your words define you. Have you seen people who constantly look worried, even when they’re not frowning? Their faces carry the imprint of their thoughts and words. Their health, their emotions, and even their physical features are affected by what they’ve been saying and thinking. That’s because your words are the forces that mould your life. When you speak words of faith, victory, power, success and divine health, your life will align with those words. Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life….” Proverbs 18:21 declares, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” 1 Peter 3:10 takes it to a climax; it says, “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.” Speak the right words, for you’re what you say. What you say is what you get (Mark 11:23). Praise God! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the power of words and the ability to speak and shape my future in line with your perfect will. My words are filled with faith, strength and divine wisdom, bringing health to my body, joy to my spirit and success to my path. I walk in victory always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYProverbs 18:21 AMPCDeath and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). Have you ever come to a point where you knew you had to change levels? You looked at your life and said, “I’ve been at this stage for too long; it’s time to move up!” This is important because you should always desire growth and advancement! Our life in Christ is upward and forward; it’s from faith to faith, grace to grace, and from glory to glory. At every stage, I always set clear targets for my life. I determine what I would achieve at different times, and the remarkable thing is, I always hit my targets ahead of schedule. This taught me an important lesson: setting goals works. But beyond setting goals, taking action is what brings results. Some people wait, hoping that God will step in and change their situation without them doing anything. But that’s not how it works. There’re things God does, and there’re things you must do. Think about a farmer; he cultivates his land, plants seeds, and waters them, but he doesn’t make them grow. He understands that if he follows this process, the soil will cause the seed to germinate and produce a harvest. Where is God in all these? He’s the One who gives life to the seed. The soil itself carries a divine mystery; when a seed is planted, it dies first, and then God’s power causes it to spring back to life. Now, imagine a farmer who never plants anything. Harvest time will still come, but while others are reaping, he will have nothing, because he didn’t plant anything. It’s the same with life—if you don’t plant seeds, you won’t see a harvest. I discovered that planting seeds into my mind and heart produces results. Even greater is the discovery that I can plant seeds into the realm of the spirit and reap a supernatural harvest! So, do something to change your current state and estate. Many people haven’t changed levels in five years. Their lives have remained the same, except that things have become harder because the world has moved forward while they remained stagnant. When you don’t upgrade your life and mindset, you won’t be able to accommodate the changes in the world around you. Decide to change levels. Take the necessary actions today that’ll create the future you desire. PRAYERDear Father, I refuse to remain at the same level. I take action, planting the right seeds into my heart, my mind, and the realm of the spirit. By the power of your Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I move forward and upward, changing levels and fulfilling my destiny. Thank you for your divine power at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Many desire a quiet and peaceable life; yet, they neglect the action the Lord says would cause it to happen. The Word of God is clear on what we must do to make our nations the haven of peace and prosperity that God ordained them to be: we are to pray for all men, including leaders at every level or position of authority. Therefore, make it a culture, every day, to pray for your president and all those who work with him; pray for the governors. In your state, city, or community, pray for the leaders at every level and for those who work with them. Pray for the community heads, the judges, the leaders of the police and the armed forces, the heads of the different institutions and parastatals in your nation. When you pray for them like this, the prosperity in your nation will blossom and the people will profit from the good that’s in the land. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 1:19, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” There’s more wealth in your nation than you can imagine, but the onus is on God’s people to do the needful; act on the Word. Pray for your nation and its leaders as God has instructed. The solution is not in protesting or bringing down the government. Even if you removed a leader and replaced him or her with another, it wouldn’t change the root issue. The real solution is in prayer—praying according to this pattern, which Paul outlined by the Spirit: supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks for all men, and for all in authority or positions of leadership. Even now, take the next few minutes to pray for those in authority in the nation where you live, work, or do business. Create the conditions for a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty in your nation through your heartfelt prayers as directed by the Spirit. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege and responsibility of prayer. I pray for all the categories of leaders in my nation and around the world, that their hearts are mantled by your wisdom and influenced by your righteousness.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). In Christ Jesus, we’ve been called to a life of perfection, victory and glory. Yet, there’re those who knowingly or unknowingly resist this truth by holding on to human limitations. They often say, “We are all human,” or “Nobody is perfect.” They use these statements to justify living below the divine life we’ve been called to in Christ. When people say “We’re all humans,” they forget the transformation that took place when we were born again. The Bible declares, “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 new creatures in Christ, we’re not merely human—we’re born of God, partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). The other common phrase “Nobody is perfect” also contradicts the Scriptures. The Lord Jesus unequivocally stated in our opening verse, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Perfection means to be full-grown in maturity, blameless, unspotted, wanting nothing; a completeness. Then you have another common generalization which is “We all make mistakes,” as though living beyond mistakes is inevitable. But the Word of God teaches us differently. The Bible says, “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9). The seed of God—the life and nature of God—is in you, empowering you to live above error and walk in righteousness. It’s about your knowledge and understanding of Christ and His Gospel. It’ll put you above every limitation to live the glorious life He has given you. Many are hindered by negative beliefs and traditions handed down by those who don’t know the truth. But you must look to the Word and refuse to live by these limiting mind-sets. The life in Christ is one of excellence, righteousness, victory, and dominion over sin, Satan and circumstances. The life of Christ in you is a perfect life, and it’s your responsibility to walk in its reality. Refuse to accept mediocrity or failure. Look to the Word, believe it, and live by it. Hallelujah! CONFESSIONI am not a mere human; I am born of God, a partaker of His divine nature, incorruptible and impregnable. I live the life of righteousness, perfection and glory in Christ.

I am riding on the high places of the earth and making huge profits in my business and projects. I am enriched in all things and in every way. Great fortunes are delivered into my hands by the power of the Spirit. God has given me the ability to handle great finances. He loads me with benefits daily. I am highly favoured and blessed. I am financially buoyant in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen! Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). Speech creates sound waves, and the original source material for creation is sound. This is because sound is the energy produced by words. When God spoke, creation came into being. His words possessed the energy that formed and caused everything He said to materialize. Why did He have to speak? Why didn’t He simply make everything without speaking? He was giving us a precedent and, more importantly, showing us the importance of sound coding. Sound coding is the assignment of meaning, interpretation, and communication of sound or the cognitive process for the creation of sound. For example, if I say “Haha” and tell you it means “stop,” only you, who received that instruction, will understand what “Haha” means. Others who don’t know the code will not comprehend its meaning. Sound coding, therefore, is the process of embedding instructions, meaning and information into sound waves. When you’re teaching a child a language, for example, you’re encoding sound into that child by talking to the child; you’re transmitting something into that child’s memory. If you were talking Spanish to that child, the child would end up speaking Spanish because you’ve given that child the sound codes for the Spanish language. Therefore, there’s memory; the child captures the message. Now, here’s what God did: He spoke creation into being. When He said “Let there be light,” light became; He spoke to the darkness and light came out of the darkness. In that entire account of creation in Genesis 1, we find God talking. Even when He made man in His image, He still talked to the man. Why did God have to talk? Because by talking, you create a sound code. This sound code carries the instruction, meaning, and purpose embedded in your words. We talked about the energy of words earlier; all of creation responds to the sound code of your words. Your words carry a creative force. Every word you speak is a wave that carries meaning, purpose, and potential for creating, instructing, and communicating. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the creative power of words. Through your Word, all things were made, and by speaking in faith, I align with your divine principles. I use my words wisely to encode life, meaning and purpose in everything I say. Thank you for teaching me these profound truths and for making me a creator through the power of my words, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYGenesis 1:3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Hebrews 11:3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Mark 11:23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
