Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD _I and my Father are one (John 10:30). In John 10:32-38 we read about the Lord Jesus and the scepticism of the Jewish leaders as they accused Him of blasphemy, seeking an opportunity to arrest Him. Verse 39 says, “Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand” (John 10:39). Now, notice the latter portion that says “he escaped out of their hand.” Some have said He escaped out of fear; that’s not true, because He didn’t have it in Him to fear. Remember, He faced death and refused to avoid it even when He had the chance. He escaped on this occasion because it wasn’t the appointed time for His sacrifice. If He had allowed them to harm Him, the Father would have intervened, and they would have been destroyed. Jesus knew this. He said in Matthew 26:53, “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” This was the Son of God, fully aware of His authority and the power of angels at His command. Consider Elisha and his servant when they were surrounded by an army. The servant was afraid, but Elisha told him, “…Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha” (2 Kings 6:16-17). If that happened with Elisha, then think about the Lord Jesus. He knew He had myriads of angels with Him. His actions were purposeful, demonstrating that He was always in control. Even under pressure, He maintained His focus on fulfilling the will of the Father, showing us the perfect example of courage and confidence in God’s plan. This same Jesus lives in us today by His Spirit, and His boldness is ours. Like Him, you must trust the Father completely, walking in the assurance of His love, power, and perfect purpose for your life. Psalm 118:6 says, “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” Furthermore, the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 1:7 reinforces this truth: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Hallelujah! So be bold in affirming who you are in Christ and your oneness with Him. That was what got the Jews mad; their religious minds couldn’t accept or relate with the audacity and conviction with which Jesus spoke of His oneness with the Father. And we’re just like Him. CONFESSIONI walk in the boldness and courage of Christ; fear has no place in me. I’m bold, courageous, daring and audacious in affirming my oneness with the Lord. I live boldly in Him, full of faith and confidence in His divine protection, guidance and plan for my life. And I thank the Lord for the victory I have in Christ Jesus. Amen. FURTHER STUDYJohn 10:32-39Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 1 John 4:4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

I live in dominion over and above sickness, disease, and death.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God (Romans 6:13). Romans 6:10-11 is the reality of your life in Christ. You’re dead to sin and alive unto God. You’re not under the dominion of sin or death. The old nature that was a slave to sin is dead—crucified with Christ—and now you live in the newness of life. You’re alive to righteousness, glory, and the Lordship of Jesus. It helps us understand what the Bible says in Romans 6:12, “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.” This means you have authority over your body, over your thoughts, over everything that pertains to you. You’re no longer subject to failure, decay, or destruction. You’ve come out of spiritual death into the realm of life—God’s life. When you touch things, they don’t deteriorate; they improve. Why? Because the righteousness of God fixes things; it carries life, success and glory; and you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Think about it: the whole creation is in bondage because of corruption. Everything in the world has been subjected to decay and destruction: “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22). But what is the creation waiting for? The preceding verse 19 tells us; it says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” You’re the one to set creation free from the bondage of corruption. Everything connected to you—Your clothes, your cars, your home—is meant to reflect and be impacted by the life of God, because as read in our theme scripture, you’re an instrument of righteousness. This means wherever you go, things get better. Whoever encounters you is improved, because the righteousness of God functions through you. You’re a carrier of life, restoration, and glory. You don’t just exist; you reign, you fix and renew things. Let this be your consciousness: you’re the manifestation of Christ’s righteousness. You function in His divine order and His divine power, bringing His glory everywhere. CONFESSIONI’m an instrument of righteousness; I carry the life of God. His glory and wisdom are expressed in and through me. Everything associated with me reflects the righteousness of God. I bring deliverance, restoration, and life to creation. I reign in life as a mature son of God, manifesting His glory always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYRomans 8:19-21For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

I’m surrounded with God’s favour as a shield, and positioned by His grace for a life of peace and total prosperity! I win every day because I live by the faith of Jesus Christ. His divine power has given me everything I require for life and godliness, and I know it. Therefore, I rejoice in my victories, prosperity, and blessed life in Christ I’m an ambassador of Christ, spreading God’s love in my world. His love is perfected in me; it’s heard in my words and seen in my actions, because I dwell in God, and God in me. I rejoice in the Lord, His eternal Word and power to put me over all adversities. The Lord is the strength of my life, and I fear nothing and no one. In Him I triumph gloriously always and in every situation, reigning in righteousness, and growing in grace, wisdom and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am an offspring of light; the supernatural has become my daily experience. I will never walk in darkness or confusion. I am edified; my spirit is lifted to function from a vantage position of boldness, audacity, and victory in Christ Jesus. I refuse to struggle, but enjoy unstoppable growth and progress as I receive guidance and light from the Spirit and the Word. I affirm that I am walking in supernatural prosperity. I lay up gold as dust. I am plugged to a heavenly supply, therefore, I always have plenty and never lack any good thing. Every day, opportunities are created for me. I live

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin (Romans 6:6). The Lord Jesus didn’t come to give us a religion; He came to give us life—the God-life! He gave up everything, even His own life, to make us sons of God. When you truly understand the magnitude of His sacrifice, it’ll transform your outlook on life. You’d live victoriously every day, knowing that His death, burial and resurrection brought us life everlasting—free from sin, sickness, poverty and death. The vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ wasn’t symbolic; it was a reality, and so is the freedom it brought to us. His resurrection secured our victory over death and every form of oppression. The Bible says, “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him” (Romans 6:9). And guess what? Death has no dominion over you either because you’re in Him. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus gave you His very nature. You’re now alive unto God! You’re not just forgiven; you’re recreated, made the righteousness of God in Christ. This is why you can boldly declare, “I’ll never be sick in my life! I’ll never be broke in my life!” These aren’t empty confessions; they’re realities of the life we’ve received in Christ. So, reign in life through Christ as the Bible says: “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). Stop “trying” to make it; you’ve already made it in Christ! The old nature is dead, and the new you is alive with the life of God. The Apostle Paul tells us, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:11). Live with this consciousness. You’re not a sinner; you’re the righteousness of God in Christ. You’re not the defeated trying to get victory; you’re the victor, reigning in life through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the finished work of Christ, which has made me righteous, victorious, and alive unto you, free from sin, sickness, poverty and every oppression of the enemy. I live in the fullness of the life of Christ, manifesting your glory everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY2 Corinthians 5:21For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Colossians 3:3-4For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Romans 8:10-11And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Here’s my concern: that you care for God’s flock with all the diligence of a shepherd… (1 Peter 5:2 MSG). In the previous study, we reviewed the importance of complete evangelism. When you lead someone to Christ, you should keep track of their journey in Christ. Two years later, for example, you should still remember them and keep praying for them. Consider keeping a diary of the people you lead to Christ, and you’ll be amazed at how long that list will become over time. As you lead people to Christ, encourage them to do the same. Tell them, “When you lead someone to Christ, let me know. You can send me their names and addresses. I’ll be praying for them.” As your list grows, take time to bow your knees before the Father and pray for everyone on your list. The Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, said in Galatians 4:19, “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” Pray like this for those whose names are on your list. Be strategic with your intercession for them, that they be established in the faith, doing the will of the Father, active in the work of the ministry, and bringing glory to God always. Pray also for other new converts whom the Lord has added to the church, that they be established in the Word, firmly rooted and grounded in the faith, and that the Lord is perfecting His work in their lives for His glory. Pray for them to be more and more passionate, committed and fearless labourers of the end-time harvest, and that through them, more souls receive the Gospel gladly and are converted to the Kingdom. In John 17:12, Jesus said, “…those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost….” This should always be your testimony concerning all those you lead to Christ or those whom the Lord adds to your local assembly through your evangelical efforts. Remember that evangelism has to be a conscious effort. It must be a sincere and personal ministry; it’s not a one-time event. It is a continuous, deliberate effort to bring others into God’s Kingdom and follow them up until they’re nurtured and grounded in the Faith. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the opportunity to partner with you in the ministry of reconciliation. I take personal responsibility for those I lead to Christ. I remain fervent in prayer for their growth and dedication to spiritual things. Thank you for the joy and fulfilment of seeing lives transformed for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious (1 Peter 2:2-3). When you lead people to Christ to receive salvation, at that moment, they’re still spiritual babies that must begin to learn the Word of God. The Word of God is the food for the human spirit; it’s the only material that guarantees spiritual growth. Therefore, new converts must be taught the Word and given the opportunity to learn the Word of God. This is where going to church plays a key role. When you win souls, immediately introduce them to the local church where they can participate in the things of God and be trained and well-nurtured spiritually. When you fail to bring them into the church, you’re like a woman who gives birth to a baby, leaves the baby at the hospital’s maternity ward and goes home. That’s absurd. It’s important to take those you’ve led to Christ to your church. Don’t tell them to go to any nice church. That’s like having a child and saying, “This child can go to any mother.” Instead, guide them to the church where you are. If the person believed your message about Jesus, they ought to know you came from somewhere. When you bring them to your church, you can guarantee their spiritual growth because you know what they’re going to hear. Connect them with someone from your church—a leader or even the pastor. Let them know you’re excited about their salvation and that others will be excited about it too. Make your evangelism complete. Help them see that their growth in Christ is a priority and that the church is the best environment for them to flourish spiritually. If you’re not yet the member of a local church, or seeking one, you could begin by contacting the person or church who gave you this book, or log on to www.christembassy.org for more information. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege of leading others to Christ and guiding them in their journey of faith. I carry out evangelism with wisdom and love, ensuring those I lead to Christ are nurtured and established in the truth. Thank you for the church as a place of growth, fellowship and training in righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6). Psalm 82:6 is a remarkable portion of scripture; this truth was echoed by the Lord Jesus Himself in John 10:34. He said, “…Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” What would this mean but what it says? In John 1:12, the Bible tells us, “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.” Then in 1 John 3:1, the Apostle John exclaimed excitedly, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God….” The Apostle Paul, in his beautiful letter to the Galatian church, said, “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (Galatians 4:6-7). Therefore, when Jesus said we are gods, He unveiled the truth about our divine birth and nature. 2 Peter 1:4 declares, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature….” This means you’re now an associate or sharer of the God-kind. You’re a carrier or conveyor of the God-life. What a blessed reality! This, however, doesn’t mean we’re equal with God Himself but that He’s brought us into His divine class. The Lord Jesus is still the Lord of our lives, our King, and we serve Him. Glory to His Name forever! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the revelation of my identity in Christ. I’m an associate of the God-kind; I function from the standpoint of advantage, victory, dominion and power, because I’m born of God and conscious of His life in me. I walk in the fullness of this understanding, living according to your will, serving you as my Lord, Master, and King, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

To be filled with the fullness of God means to be filled with the totality of the divine essence, His very being. Colossians 1:27 says, “…Christ in you, the hope of glory”; this is what it means. It leaves no room for ambiguity; we’re replete with God. We’re associates of the God-kind, not when we get to heaven but here and now in the earth, in this life. Imagine being so full of God—His power, wisdom, and glory—that fear has no place in you. This is why we, as Christians, are bold. We cannot accommodate fear because we are loaded with the fullness of God. The Greek word for filled is “Plēroō”, and it means the full or maximum load. That means we’re completely saturated with the maximum load of God. Jesus exemplified this. He declared, “…as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself” (John 5:26). Jesus was the divine essence, filled with God. God’s plan is for the Church to reach this same level of understanding and expression. We, as the Body of Christ, must attain this consciousness, walking in the fullness of God. The Lord will rapture the Church in this mature state. We’ll depart this world in a consciousness of divine connection. This is not about an escape from the world due to fear or despair but about a victorious departure, having exercised the powers of heaven on earth. The Lord is coming for a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle, one that has fully embraced and is demonstrating His divine life. So, rise to this understanding and live with this consciousness. God is waiting for us to demonstrate what He has accomplished in us through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! CONFESSIONI’m filled with the fullness of God, with the totality of His divine essence, His very being. Christ in me is the hope of glory; I’m full of His power, wisdom and glory, and I walk in the consciousness of this truth. I live victoriously, fulfilling God’s purpose for my life. Amen. FURTHER STUDYColossians 2:9-10For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: John 1:16And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 2 Peter 1:3-4According 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: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am the seed of Abraham, born into a realm of perpetual blessings. God has given me the dew of heaven and the earth’s richness. The Holy Spirit teaches me how to make wealth amass great profit. He energizes me for success, stirs me up for prosperity, and programmes me for greatness. He creates opportunities to bring me wealth. I am a wonder to many. I’m strengthened, fortified, and energized for victory, success, and excellence through the power of God’s Word, and the might of the Spirit! I am fruitful and productive; I flourish in the courts of my Lord, bringing Him hoour, and bearing abundant fruits unto Him in righteousness. I have success, peace with prosperity, unspeakable joy, and health. I am filled with the fullness of God! The world belongs to me! I am unlimited; all things are mine in Christ. I express the life and character of the Spirit to my world. I don’t lack or want for anything: ideas, inspiration, wealth, prosperity, and all the goodness of God are in my spirit, and I bring them forth from the fullness in my spirit. I am guided by God’s light, on the path of greatness and excellence. I am an offspring of light; the supernatural has become my daily experience. I will never walk in darkness or confusion; for the true light that lightens every man’s world shines in my heart. My spirit is lifted to function from a vantage position of boldness, audacity, and victory in Christ Jesus. I refuse to struggle, but enjoy unstoppable success. Divine health flourishes in me. Goodness and mercy follow me everywhere I go, and I have the supernatural grace to excel in all endeavors today. Christ purchased a life of glory for me through His death and resurrection, and sickness has no place in that life. Therefore, no disease can enter my body or environment. I have what God says I have; I am who He says I am, and I can do all He says I can do. I am strong in faith, giving glory to God at all times! No sickness, disease, or infirmity can thrive in my body because I am joined to the Lord, and I am one Spirit with Him. Divine life and unfailing health and strength are at work in me today and forever in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God (2 Corinthians 3:5). The Apostle Paul makes an important declaration in 2 Corinthians 3:5 that “…our sufficiency is of God.” The Greek word for sufficiency here is “hikanotēs,” which means competence or ability. This means, as a child of God, you’re divinely competent. Your ability comes from God, and recognizing this truth brings a transformation in the way you think and live. In that scripture we see a principle of divine exchange: God has given us of His ability and competence so that we could function with the ability of God. The confession of the Word is a key part of this process. This divine competence and ability have been imparted to you. Therefore, you must keep saying it.Always affirm that the ability with which you function is of God. Just knowing about it or reading about it is not enough. It’s your confession that endorses it and activates the reality in your life. So, every so often, you say, “My sufficiency is of God; I’m divinely competent, which means I can carry out any task or assignment excellently.” You align yourself with God’s truth. This act allows God to work with you, guiding you by His Spirit to walk in the fullness of His divine power. It’s also important to understand that while your confession immediately aligns you with God’s truth, growth is a journey. You may not instantly function competently in all areas of life, but as you remain consistent in your confession and follow the leading of the Spirit, God will guide you on the right path. He’ll bring the right opportunities and experiences to help you develop fully in His divine competence. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the divine competence and ability you have empowered me with. My ability is not of myself but from you; I’m therefore divinely empowered to succeed in all things. As I meditate on and confess your Word, I walk in the reality of my divine nature and fulfil all that you have called me to accomplish, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYPhilippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 2 Corinthians 3:5 AMPCNot that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God. Acts 1:8 AMPCBut you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: Christ is made unto me wisdom. In him, I have access to all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Therefore, I have limitless wisdom. I am prudent. I have knowledge of witty inventions. I am skillful, proficient and knowledgeable. I devise the best solutions in every circumstance. I have discretion. Counsel is mine. I am full of sound wisdom. I have sound knowledge and understanding. I have strength, might, and power. I speak excellent and princely things. I have an understanding heart. The opening of my lips is for the right things. My words are all righteous. I speak the truth always. God has given me wisdom. I have a wise and discerning heart. Christ is my excellent wisdom. Nothing can attack me or come against me successfully, for I am surrounded by an innumerable company of angels. My health, business, finances, family, and everything that pertains to me are preserved by God’s Spirit. Every day of my life is full of God’s glory, beauty, excellence, and grace. Every day God loads me with great benefits. In His favor my horn is exalted. I live above infirmities and the harsh elements of this world because the One who lives in me is greater than he that’s in this world. I’m crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God! Success, prosperity, divine health, promotions, and the glorious life are my inheritance in Christ Jesus! Every day, I rule and reign over the circumstances of life and I exercise dominion over Satan and the power of darkness. Christ is my advantage for the glorious life. Eternal life is at work in me. I am a carrier of divinity. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in me bodily. I live life in its fullness and I dispense virtues of healing and health to my world every day. My kidneys, lungs, heart, all tissues and every organ in my body function properly. Good health, success, and prosperity are the hallmarks of my daily life. I enjoy life to the full always. I am enjoying life every day in divine health and prosperity; nothing is missing or lacking in me in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints (Ephesians 6:18). Praying in the Spirit is the primary way for Christians to pray; it means praying in other tongues. When you pray in tongues, it’s your spirit praying, even though your understanding is unfruitful. Thus, the spiritual man prays first with the spirit and then with the understanding also. Sadly, many reverse this order; they pray predominantly with their understanding and sparingly in tongues. That’s not going to work. Recall what we read in our opening scripture; it means there’re different kinds or forms of prayer. However, irrespective or alongside all these various types of prayers, you should pray in the Spirit, that is, pray in other tongues. Think of this like a doctor’s prescription that says, “Take these tablets with every meal.” Now, breakfast, lunch and dinner are different meals, yet the tablets are a constant addition to each. Similarly, God says, with all types of prayer—be it the prayer of intercession, prayer of faith, prayer of worship, etc.—pray in the Spirit. Speak in tongues. The apostle Paul sheds light on this in 1 Corinthians 14:14-15: “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also….” 1 Corinthians 14:2 says, “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.” Make this a priority in your life. Cultivate the habit of praying in tongues every day, and you’ll experience extraordinary victories in your life. Your spiritual walk will be transformed and you’ll always be steps ahead of trouble before they manifest. Plus that, your health will blossom supernaturally as your physical body is constantly vitalized and rejuvenated by doses of divine currents, through praying in the Spirit. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege of prayer and the opportunity it gives us to invoke heaven’s blessings on earth. As I pray in the Spirit, my spirit is aligned with your divine purpose. Thank you for the victories I experience through this spiritual discipline, and for enabling me to fulfil my role as a watchman in your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| Jude 1:20 AMPCBut you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; || || 1 Corinthians 14:14-15 AMPCFor if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unproductive [it bears no fruit and helps nobody]. 15 Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will also pray [intelligently] with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will sing [intelligently] with my mind and understanding also. || || Ephesians 6:18 AMPCPray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people). || DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency, and His superabundant grace upon my life is enough for me in all things. Grace—the lifting power of God that attracts the right people, materials and resources—has put me ahead and positioned me for success and victory. I think thoughts of peace, joy, victory, prosperity, and good health. I’m seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms. Far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come! I am exalted with Christ in glory; I know who I am: chosen, royal, and peculiar! I experience the supernatural in my body every day by the power of God’s Spirit. I recognize the divine ability, efficiency, and might that are at work in me today. By virtue of the divine life of Christ in me, every cell of my blood, every bone of my body, and every organ in me is invigorated; no infirmity can fasten itself to my body, I live in absolute health and soundness of mind and body. I have a sharp memory and a firm capacity to remember important details, experiences and knowledge. My mental acuity and my cognitive abilities are top-notch. I am born of God, therefore, fear has no place in my life. I am perceptive, astute and smart. I am confident, bold and courageous. I will never walk in confusion because the Spirit of God is guiding me in the path of life and leading me in the way of supernatural success and permanent prosperity. I make my way prosperous and consistently experience good success as I meditate on the Word and speak it forth with boldness. I am guided and propelled by God’s divine wisdom to do His will and fulfil my destiny in Christ. My eyes of understanding are enlightened; I see the invisible and I’m empowered to do the impossible. My life goes only in the direction of God’s purpose; therefore, I’ll never be sick in life. I can only grow from strength to strength, for divinity has been activated in my body in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost (Jude 1:20). Praying in the Spirit or praying in the Holy Ghost is twofold: there’s praying with your spirit, which is speaking in tongues, and praying through the power of the Holy Spirit. In our opening scripture, we’re instructed to pray through the power of the Holy Spirit. But in 1 Corinthians 14:14, Paul explains, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” This refers to praying with your spirit, speaking in tongues, as a means of engaging with God on a deeper, spiritual level. Then in Romans 8:26, we see another dimension of praying in the Spirit: “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.” This is not speaking in tongues. It is the Holy Ghost interceding for us with groanings, deep, heartfelt expressions that words cannot articulate. Have you experienced moments when words fail, and instead, your spirit is burdened with groanings and deep sighs? These are times when the Holy Ghost takes over, interceding in your behalf. When this happens, continue in prayer until you have a release in your spirit. This kind of prayer is so powerful. It allows the Holy Ghost to address situations beyond your understanding; it’s a divine strategy for living an ever-victorious life in Christ. Additionally, as you pray in tongues, the Bible says you can ask for the gift of interpretation. This doesn’t mean translating what you prayed but receiving insight into what you’re praying about. However, when the Holy Ghost prays through you in groanings, you may not always know the details unless He reveals them to you. The power and the effect when the Spirit prays through us like that are incontrovertible; we invoke the power and dominion of heaven on earth, manifesting divine realities. It’s one of the reasons I love and enjoy to pray. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the gift of the Spirit who helps me pray beyond my understanding. As I pray in tongues and through the power of the Holy Ghost, every limitation is removed, and I walk in continuous victory. Thank you for this divine strategy to live a life that is upward and forward only, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I am fully aware that if I give the word, the angels are under obligation to take action! Angels respond to God’s Word. They’re happy to work with and for me. When I call on the name of Jesus, all of nature responds to me, supernatural doors open for me, and strangers are obligated to favour me. I celebrate the grace of God which causes His glory to be revealed in all that I do and usher me into my next level of greatness. The totality of divinity is fully present in my spirit. I display the perfections of Christ in sound health. I walk in wisdom and discernment, always knowing the steps to take as I fulfil my destiny in Christ, equipped and empowered to bring hope, healing, and deliverance to those around me. I am an oasis of love and a haven of peace, joy, hope and faith in a troubled world. I don’t envy Godless men or desire to be in their company. I walk as a child of light, for I am light in the Lord. My delight is in pleasing the Lord Jesus, and I seek to honour Him always. I’m guided by the Spirit of God who lives in me and guides me in the path of righteousness, to produce fruits and works of righteousness. My faith is strong and never wavers because it’s founded on God’s Word. I reign as a king in this life, changing situations and circumstances in my favour. I make decrees and they’re established, for the Word of God on my lips is God talking! I’ll never be discouraged or subject to the crippling principles of this world, because I reign and rule by the Word. Christ has brought perfection and excellence into my life. I am prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere. I’m continually filled with the Spirit of God. I have the life and nature of God in me; therefore, I’m an overcomer and more than a conqueror. I live in Christ, where divinity reigns. I reign in prosperity with peace, health, and an abundance of wealth. I enjoy the supernatural life that God has given me, in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). The Bible tells us of two blind men who came to Jesus, crying out, “…Thou son of David, have mercy on us” (Matthew 9:27). Jesus didn’t respond to them immediately but waited until they followed Him to the house. Then the Lord asked them, “…Believe ye that I am able to do this?….” They responded, “…Yea, Lord” (Matthew 9:28). Then, the Bible records, He touched “…their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened…” (Matthew 9:29-30). Notice His question to the two blind men: “Believe ye that I am able to do this?” Their healing depended on their belief. Similarly, in Mark 9:22, a man brought his son to Jesus for healing and pleaded, “…If thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.” The Master responded, “…If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23). The man thought the responsibility was entirely on Jesus, but Jesus showed him it was about his belief. The man replied, “…Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief” (Mark 9:24). Despite this mix of faith and doubt, the Lord had mercy on him and healed his son (Mark 9:25). God is always willing to do anything for you. The requirement is your faith. It’s not enough to simply believe; you must act like you believe. Talk like you believe. Think like you believe. If you don’t think like you believe, you won’t talk like it, and if you don’t talk like it, you won’t act like it. God’s Word renews your mind and helps you think correctly, enabling you to live in alignment with your belief (Romans 12:2). No matter how significant a project or assignment is, even if you’re convinced it’s authentic and from God, it won’t happen unless you believe it’s possible. Without belief, you won’t engage in what’s required to make it happen; instead, you’ll see it as a failed venture or a waste of resources. For example, you have to believe that the full preaching of the Gospel around the world is possible. The Bible says, “And 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). Without this belief, you won’t take the steps necessary to accomplish the task. For the first time in history, we are in a world equipped with the technology and workforce needed to reach everyone. God’s people all over the world are ready—they’re prepared to go everywhere without restriction, and we are set to mobilize and deploy all that’s necessary. Believe it’s possible. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the responsibility you have entrusted to me to preach the Gospel in my world. I refuse to be distracted or complacent. I make the Kingdom my utmost priority, ensuring that every moment, effort and resource is dedicated to fulfilling your vision. By your Spirit, I act with urgency and excellence, accomplishing all you’ve called me to do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:16). When it comes to the preaching of the Gospel in all the nations of the earth, you’ll have to approach it as though it depended on you alone to do it. That was the mentality Paul had and it’s worth emulating. When you have such a fire in your spirit, nothing can quench it. You’d say like Paul, “…necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” Paul recognized the weight of responsibility placed on him and was determined to take the message to the entire world. Your positioning, thinking and mentality have to be the same. Don’t have the idea that “Oh, there are so many Christians, churches and ministries around the world; I hope they’re going to do something for the full preaching of the Gospel.” Instead, ask yourself, “What am I going to do as an individual?” Paul said, “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” (1 Timothy 1:11); he personalized it. Can God trust you to do the same? If He left the fulfilment of His vision to you, could you be trusted to get it done? This should get you to think differently about soul winning and how you intercede for those who haven’t yet known the Lord. If you were the only Christian in your country, state, city, neighbourhood, etc., how would you function? What would you do differently? Would you continue at your current pace or rise to the challenge and do more? Be determined to make a far greater impact with the Gospel in your environment. Don’t wait; make the decisions you need to make and act on them quickly. Set your priorities for soul winning and evangelism. So much might be vying for your attention, but you must place the Kingdom of God at the forefront of your life. Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the responsibility you have entrusted to me to preach the Gospel in my world.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD No using the name of GOD, your God, in curses or silly banter; GOD won’t put up with the irreverant use of his name (Exodus 20:7 MSG). In the Old Testament, the Jews were instructed not to take the name of the Lord in vain. For example, Exodus 20:7 says, “…the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” The Jews understood the greatness of God’s Name to such an extent that they avoided pronouncing it altogether. Instead, they substituted it with “Adonai.” When scribes copying the Scriptures encountered the Name, they would pause, go wash themselves, and then proceed to write it. If the Name appeared multiple times, they would repeat the process for each instance. This level of reverence came from an awareness of God’s greatness and majesty and the awe-inspiring deeds He wrought amongst their forefathers. Contrast this with how casually many Christians use His Name today. People shout His Name while cutting a cake or use it as an exclamation in everyday speech without understanding its power or significance. This casual attitude toward the Name of Jesus reveals a deeper issue: a lack of knowledge of who He truly is. When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He said, “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22). The Samaritans, being a mixed race with a history of idolatry, lacked a proper understanding of worship and reverence. Sadly, this lack of understanding persists today. You must understand and live in the reality of the Lordship of Jesus. He’s not just great; He is greatness. Have this understanding when you worship Him. Address Him correctly. After His resurrection, no one ever directly addressed Him simply as “Jesus.” He was addressed as Lord, Lord Jesus, because His resurrection exalted Him to the place of supreme authority. When speaking about Him, we may say “Jesus,” but when addressing Him, we must honour Him as Lord: “…who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen” (1 Timothy 6:15-16) PRAYERDear Lord Jesus, I honour and reverence your holy Name, for you’re the Undisputed Ruler, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, and lives in unapproachable light. Thank you, Lord, for the privilege to know you and walk in the light of your Word. Your Name is exalted above all, and I recognize you as Lord of all. Amen.
