*đź“śTHE GOSPEL TRANSFORMS LIVES*

*Pastor Chris*

_*📖For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…(Romans 1:16).*_

When the Gospel of Jesus Christ is ministered and people truly believe, it produces a transformation in their lives. If, for example, someone who’s been wayward genuinely receives the Gospel, that’ll be the end of the wayward lifestyle. However, there’s the renewing of the mind that must take place.

The same goes for someone who was a thief but has received Christ. The person will be transformed. Ephesians 4:28 says, _*“Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”*_

Likewise, if a lady used to engage in prostitution but she is now born again, her body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, meaning she can’t continue in that life because she now belongs to God and must glorify God in her body and in her spirit. She must now find a decent job as we read in Ephesians 4:28. She has to work with her hands that which is good, because prostitution is not good.

Furthermore, such people must be reminded of what happened when they gave their lives to Christ; they were washed, sanctified, and justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11).

This is why it’s important to preach the true Gospel: it brings people out of darkness into light, into the liberty of the sons of God. It changes people. It lifts them. It delivers them. So, they need to constantly be reminded of this and be taught and encouraged to study the Word of God for themselves and listen to messages that’ll further inform, enlighten and educate their spirits about righteousness and their new life in Christ.

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the power of the Gospel that transforms lives and delivers men and women from darkness into your marve

*đź“śSENT TO CHANGE LIVES*

*Pastor Chris*

_*đź“–Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19).*_

The words of Jesus in this verse are quite profound. He commands us to "teach all nations," which means to make students of the nations, to disciple them, to instruct and train them in the ways of the Kingdom. This is a divine mandate. You’re a leader, assigned to reveal the righteousness of God and show the world how to live.

You’re God’s champion, sent to change lives. Hallelujah! When you received the Holy Spirit, He made you a champion. Therefore, your life is meant to be impactful and full of divine exploits. You’re a hero of the Gospel, a living witness of God’s greatness. This is your moment for protagonism.

Each day, for you, should be filled with testimonies that demonstrate the power of God that’s at work in you. That’s the life of a soul winner—a thrilling adventure of divine exploits that keeps heaven’s angels captivated. The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 4:9, _*"...For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men."*_ Think about that; you’re a marvel to the angels.

1 Peter 1:12 says they (the angels) are delighted and desire to look into these things. They’re watching you, observing your faith-filled actions, amazed at the demonstration of God's power in your life. They marvel at the authority you exercise in Christ and the impact you make in your world.

When you step out in faith, when you declare God’s Word, when you heal the sick, cast out devils, and, most importantly, when you lead someone to Christ, the angels are excited. Knowing this therefore, be purpose-driven. You’re on a divine stage, and the audience includes both men and angels. Live each day fulfilling God’s call on your life.

*đź“śTHE GREATEST NEWS OF THE GOSPEL*

*Pastor Chris*

_*đź“–For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (1 Corinthians 15:21-22).*_

Did you know that when Jesus died on the Cross, the whole world was on that cross with Him? Every human being was crucified in Him because He was the Saviour of the world. He took the place of every sinner, every human being who lives or has ever lived.

Romans 5:12 says, _*“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”*_ Adam was the first man, and through his disobedience, sin entered the world. As a result, spiritual death, which is separation from God, passed upon all men. From Adam, sin spread to humanity, affecting everyone born into this world.

But Jesus was crucified in our behalf. His crucifixion meant that every human being was crucified in Him because He took their place. That’s why we must tell everyone that their sins have already been paid for in Jesus Christ. The price was settled in His death. However, paying for sin only saved humanity from its punishment; it didn’t save man from the life of sin.

Christ’s death settled the charges against you, which is vital, but it didn’t reconcile you to God. The great news of the Gospel is not just that Jesus died. Of course, His death was fundamental, but the more glorious part is His resurrection. Without the resurrection, there would be no eternal life and no righteousness.

The true message of salvation is based on the resurrection of Jesus. That’s where Christianity comes from. That’s where our life is from: _*“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life”*_ (Romans 6:4). Christianity is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. It’s the celebration of

*WISDOM IS GREATER THAN INTELLIGENCE*

*_For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it (Proverbs 8:11)._*

Satan and his demons are very intelligent, but they’re not wise. There’s a huge difference between intelligence and wisdom. When you're intelligent, you have a high-powered reasoning faculty. You’re smart. You can think in a flash; you’re calculative and analytical, and your brain works smart. But wisdom is different.

Wisdom is a revelation; it’s got nothing to do with your brain. Wisdom is insight into reality. Being born again, Christ is your wisdom: *_“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom...”_* (1 Corinthians 1:30). You don’t function with mere human intelligence but with divine wisdom.

Intelligence, at its best, is grossly limited. 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 says, *_“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”_* Did you see that?

Satan and his princes don’t know everything. They don’t know everything about you or your future. Satan may be able to observe and interpret patterns in human behaviour, but he doesn’t have insight into realities. He doesn’t possess the ability to foresee your every move unless you reveal it to him through your words or actions.

By walking in divine wisdom, you can navigate your life in a way that blindsides Satan and his demons, keeping you secure and firmly rooted in God’s purpose. So, refuse to live by the intelligence, systems, structures, and economics of this world. Choose to walk in wisdom. Meditate on the Word and listen to the Holy Spirit within you, for the Word of God is the wisdom of God, and Christ is your wisdom. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, thank you for granting me divine wisdom, insight into realities. I’m filled with the knowle

BORN INTO THE DIVINE LIFE
(The Christian Is One With The Life And Nature Of God)

TO THE BIBLE - 1 Peter 1:23
“Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever”

LET’S TALK
Many people today still think that being a Christian is just about following Jesus from a distance—copying His example, trying to live right, and being a better person. But that’s not the full picture.

A Christian is born of God’s Word and has God’s life inside him. James 1:18 says, “Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.” When you believed the Gospel— the message of Jesus Christ—and accepted Him, you were literally born again. You received a new kind of life, the life of God Himself.

Think about how Jesus is called the Word made flesh in John 1:14. When you’re born again, you come from that same Word in the realm of the Spirit. You’re a partaker of the divine nature—you’ve become one with God.

The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:4 that we’re partakers of the divine nature. You have God’s DNA in your spirit! That means you’re no longer subject to the nature of sin, death, or defeat. You have the life of God- indestructible, unstoppable, and full of power.

1 John 5:11-12 (NLT) makes it even clearer: “And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.” If you have Jesus, you have eternal life. You might look the same on the outside as anyone else, but on the inside, you’re different. You’re of God! Like 1 John 4:4 says, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Your origin has changed. You hail from God, and you have His nature, life, and power inside you!

THE BEAUTY OF THE GOSPEL

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 (2 Corinthians 5:19).

It’s normal to describe the people of the world, those who haven’t received salvation, as sinners. However, it’s important to know that they were not made sinners by their own actions but by Adam’s transgression.

Romans 5:12 explains this some more; it says, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." That means all were made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. But the beauty of the Gospel is this: Just as one man's disobedience made many sinners, so also, through the obedience of one man, Jesus Christ, many are made righteous: "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous" (Romans 5:19). Blessed be God!

This is the Gospel we’ve been sent to preach: a Gospel of life and righteousness. Don’t try to convince people that they are sinners. Instead, let them know why they needed salvation in the first place; it was Adam’s transgression; it brought death into the world and that death was passed into everything.

But thanks be unto God; our Lord Jesus Christ brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). He was made sin for us who knew no sin so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21) 1 John 5:11 says, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” This is the Gospel: It’s the message of life, victory and righteousness in Christ Jesus. This is the message we must proclaim to the whole world. Hallelujah

PRAYER / CONFESSION

In Christ, I have received life, victory and righteousness; I am justified in Him. Thank you, Lord for the glorious Gospel that brings salvation and illuminates the heart

THE NAME OF JESUS
(The Power And Authority In His Name)

TO THE BIBLE - Luke 18:8
“I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

LET’S TALK
Ashley had always prayed, but she never fully understood the power of praying in the Name of Jesus. One day, while studying the scriptures, she realized that praying in His Name meant exercising the authority Jesus had given her, not using Him as a medium. The Lord Jesus taught us to pray in His Name and not through His Name. To pray through His Name is to make Him a medium. To pray in His Name is to exercise the power of attorney He’s given to us (John 16:23-24). Someone might ask, “What then does the Bible mean in Hebrews 13:15, where it says for us to offer to God a sacrifice of praise through Jesus Christ?” That’s a completely different thing, and it doesn’t also suggest making Jesus a medium. It says “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name” (Hebrews 13:15 NIV). First, our understanding of the scripture must go beyond semantics. When it comes to offering praise to God “through” Jesus Christ, one option might be, “Oh Lord Jesus, give my praise to the Father for me.” Another could be, “Oh Father, I praise you through Jesus Christ.” While these phrases may seem viable to the senses, spiritually, they both are ridiculous. In the same way, when we do whatever we do to the Father through Christ Jesus, it’s not about Christ being a medium. It’s us functioning in His power and enablement. For example, when Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) he meant that it’s through Christ’s power and enablement that he accomplishes all things. That’s our testimony. Our sufficiency is of Him (2 Corinthians 3:5), which means we function by and through His divine ability. Only sinners need a medium, which Jesus is to them (J

*đź“śTHE GLORIOUS ASCENSION OF JESUS*
L
*Pastor Chris*

_*đź“–And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven (Luke 24:51).*_

The Ascension of Jesus is the biggest event to ever happen in this world. Acts 1:9 gives us a detailed account of how it happened: _*“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”*_ His disciples were looking at Him as He ascended. They were watching Him go up into the clouds.

Jesus didn’t just suddenly vanish; His disciples were there, watching Him as He levitated. If you were there that day, how would you have described such an experience? You would have been so shocked; you might not have been able to speak for days. That’s exactly what happened to the disciples.

What they saw was the proof of something Jesus had told them earlier in John 6. When He was preaching, some of His disciples were offended when He said, _*“...my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed”*_ (John 6:55). His words were hard for many to accept, and as a result, many of His disciples stopped following Him.

Jesus then asked the twelve disciples, _*“...Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?”*_ (John 6:61-62). And there was no response. But eventually, right before their eyes, it happened. They saw those words come to pass. What they witnessed was too weighty for words.

They had already been having difficulty convincing people of His resurrection. They were called liars for declaring Jesus was alive. And now, they had witnessed His ascension. It wasn’t like Elijah who was taken up by a whirlwind with a chariot of fire. This was different.

The churches, Christians, and preachers haven’t emphasized the Ascension of Jesus enough. We often read about it and assume everyone understands it. But this was the biggest event that ever occurred on Earth. The resurrection is crucial because

*KEEP FILLING UP THE CLOUDS*

*_If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth... (Ecclesiastes 11:3)._*

There’s something you need to understand about prayer and how certain types of prayers work. Some prayers must be accumulated before they start producing results. They must be built up. The Bible says, *_“If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth....”_*

You don’t just pray and then leave off for two or three days before you pray again. No! Every day, you heap prayer upon prayer. Every day, you add some more. And then, you add some more, and some more, until you reach the climax where the results burst forth like a gusher, blowing the lid open.

That’s when things start happening; it’s like a harvest of prayers. That harvest can continue for a long time. However, that doesn’t mean you stop praying during that time. No. There are always other things to pray about. This kind of prayer is deeply spiritual and involves much praying in the Spirit. Every day, you’re filling up the cloud.

Sometimes, the Spirit of God can lead you to fast for a certain number of days because He wants you to keep filling up your cloud. It’s not so much about staying away from food; that’s not what He’s getting at. Rather, it’s about focusing your attention on the Spirit and having the kind of meditation and prayer that conditions your spirit for the work He wants to do in you, for you or through you.

So, learn to persevere in prayer as the Bible says: *_“Pray without ceasing”_* (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Keep storing up deposits of prayers in your prayer-cloud, and as the Word declares, “If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.”

*CONFESSION*

*_As I pray consistently in the Spirit, I’m filling up the clouds in anticipation of a harvest of answers to my prayers. My spirit is conditioned to know and walk in God’s perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*1 Thessalonians 5:17* Pray without ceasing.

PLAN YOUR PRAYER

Don't shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think. Don't be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear… (Ecclesiastes 5:2 MSG).

When it comes to prayer, you must realize the importance of planning your prayer or your praying. Prayer isn’t something you do half-heartedly; it requires reverence, understanding and careful preparation. Ecclesiastes 5:2 in the KJV says, “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.”

When we pray to the Lord, we must do so with purpose and clarity. Planning your prayer means recognizing the greatness of God and acknowledging that He is the Almighty. It involves preparing your heart, setting your mind on the things you want to discuss with Him, and articulating them with precision and sincerity.

Recall again what He said in the latter part of Ecclesiastes 5:2, “...let thy words be few”; that means summarize your prayers. It reminds of what the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 6:7, “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” But how can you summarize your prayer if you haven’t planned it?

This doesn’t imply minimizing the time you spend in prayer but rather being deliberate, purposeful and Spirit led. Thoughtless words and hasty utterances have no place before the King of Glory. Plan your words. When you prepare your prayers, you’re actively engaging your mind and spirit to align with God’s will. You’re positioning yourself to speak words that are filled with faith and power.

It’ll help to always take a moment to write down the things you want to talk to the Lord about. Think about the areas of your life where you desire His guidance, intervention and blessings. Also, consider the thoughts and insights He might have already stirred in your heart. Then, you speak in tongues. Through speaking in tongues,

TAKE “A HOLY GHOST DOSE” EVERY DAY*

Pastor Chris

_*Ye 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 4:4).*_

One of the ways to keep your body permanently in health is praying in the Holy Spirit; giving your physical body frequent Holy Ghost doses. The Bible says, _*“...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”*_ (Romans 8:11). This means the Holy Ghost vitalizes, energizes and rejuvenates your body.

As you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit will stir up in you the Word of God that’s in your spirit. Soon enough you’ll find that you’re pacing the floor, declaring, “I am of God; I’m born of God; the greater One lives in me; He permeates every fibre of my being, every bone of my body, and every cell of my blood. He fills my head, my hands, and my feet. He perambulates my heart, my blood, my lungs, my kidneys, my eyes. I am saturated with God! Hallelujah!"

Do this today and every other day; speak in tongues with your mind focused on the power of God coursing through your being. Then keep declaring, “My body is invigorated with supernatural strength, and I am energized by the power of the Holy Spirit. Sickness has no power over me because I have taken hold of eternal life. I am not moved by symptoms or circumstances because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world. I live in victory every day. Hallelujah!”

Stir up yourself in the Holy Ghost like this, speaking in tongues and declaring God’s Word until your whole body vibrates with the power of God and your spiritual atmosphere is charged with divine energy. That way, you’ve regulated things in the realm of the Spirit. It makes no difference whatever may be happening around you or the sickness that may be plaguing others; you’re unmoved because you’re strengthened and energized by the Holy G
