*SAY WHAT HE SAID*

📖 *_"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me" (Hebrews 13:5-6)._*

God didn't give us the Scriptures merely for information, inspiration, or moral instruction. While the Scriptures certainly build and educate us, Hebrews 13:5-6 gives us a profound insight into the ultimate reason God speaks to us. His Word produces in us and for us what it talks about. And I'll explain how this works.

After saying in verse five, *_"...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,"_* verse 6 says, *_"So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper..."_* Notice the sequence: He spoke so that you may speak. This is one of the most important principles in the Christian life. God gives you His Word so you can receive it into your spirit and speak the same thing in agreement with Him.

So, in Christianity, we speak God's language, we declare His Word boldly and we have what we say. God already lives in you by His Spirit. If His desire were merely to control you mechanically, He wouldn't need to speak to you through the Scriptures. But He wants you to become an active participant in the divine experience, in the operation of His Word, by speaking in agreement with Him.

This is how faith works. You receive God's Word into your spirit and voice it. You speak His truth concerning your health, your future, your finances, your family, and every area of your life. The Word of God in your mouth is God talking; His power goes to work in your behalf, aligning circumstances in your favour.

Many desire God's Word to be fulfilled in their lives but they don't speak it. Yet, the Word only becomes effective in your life and circumstances when you affirm it boldly. Therefore, always speak life, victory, righteousness, health, prosperity, and dominion. This is the secret of a triumphant Christian life.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for your Word given to me to live by and speak boldly. I speak in agreement with your truth concerning my life, and your Word prevails in me mightily. My life is regulated by your Word, and I walk continually in victory, faith, dominion and glory, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

Mark 11:23 *_"For 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."_*

Romans 10:8-10 *_"[8] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thine heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."_*

2 Corinthians 4:13 *_"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak."_*

📜MORE THAN A SYMBOLIC OBSERVANCE

📖 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body (1 Corinthians 11:29).

👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc. DSc. DD.

The Holy Communion is far more than a religious ritual or symbolic observance. It’s a divine ordinance instituted by the Lord Jesus Himself, carrying profound spiritual significance and power. In having the Communion with His disciples, the Bible says the Lord took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them and said, “this is my body” (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19).

He didn’t say, “This represents my body”; rather, He was specific. He said, “This is my body which is broken for you.” Likewise, concerning the Cup, the Apostle Paul wrote by the Spirit, “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16).

Notice that the Scriptures never reduce the Communion to mere symbolism. Rather, through the power and ministry of the Holy Spirit, there’s a spiritual participation and fellowship with the body and blood of Christ. This is why the Bible admonishes us to discern the Lord’s body when we partake of the Communion. To discern means to recognize accurately, to understand spiritually, and to respond with faith.

When you receive the Communion, do so with the understanding of its divine import. The Apostle Paul explains that many were weak, sickly, and some even died because they failed to discern the Lord’s body correctly (1 Corinthians 11:29-30). But the opposite is equally true: when you partake with faith and revelation, the Communion becomes a channel of divine life, health, strength, and spiritual vitality.

As the food you eat becomes one with your physical body, so does the Holy Communion, received in faith, minister the realities of the divine life into your being. Therefore, when you partake of it, declare that the power of Christ is at work in you. Affirm that sickness, infirmity, weakness and disease have no place in your body because you’re a partaker of the life of Christ.

Never approach the Communion casually. Approach it reverently, joyfully, and with unwavering faith in the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice. Through it, you reiterate the realities of His victory, life, health and righteousness, and that they’re manifested in you. Hallelujah!

🙏PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the blessing and power of the Holy Communion. As I partake of the bread and the cup, I discern the Lord’s body and walk in the reality of the divine life, strength, health, and spiritual vitality. Sickness, weakness, infirmity, and disease have no place in me, because the life of Christ is manifested in my body, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY📖=>
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 KJV; The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? [17] For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

1 Corinthians 11:23-29 KJV; For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: [24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. [25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. [26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. [27] Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. [28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

📜MAKE HIM YOUR FOCUS

📖 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.... (Hebrews 12:2).

👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc. DSc. DD.

One of the most important disciplines in the Christian life is maintaining your focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. The world is filled with distractions, pressures, opinions, and circumstances designed to shift your attention away from Him and from His Word. But the Spirit, through the Scriptures, admonishes us to remain steadfast and undistracted.

The Passion Translation of 2 Timothy 2:8 says, “…make Jesus, the Anointed One, your focus in life and ministry….” Did you notice that? The Lord isn’t to be part of your focus but your entire focus. Your thoughts, pursuits, decisions, energies, and aspirations must all be centred on Him and His divine purpose for your life.

Hebrews 12:2 (TPT) shows us the example of the Lord’s own focus: “...His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God.” Blessed thought! In the midst of pain, humiliation, rejection and shame, He looked beyond the suffering and fixed His gaze on the glorious outcome. He saw the harvest—you!

He saw the glory that would come through His obedience and He stayed focused until He fulfilled His mission completely. This is the mindset you must have. Refuse to be swayed by challenges, emotions, pressures, or temporary setbacks in expressing your love for the Lord. Keep your attention on Him and on the things He’s called you to do.

Focus gives strength, direction, and endurance. When your eyes are fixed on the Lord and your heart anchored on His Word, you’ll walk in victory consistently. That’s the instruction God gave to Joshua: “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night.... Then you will be prosperous and successful” (Joshua 1:8 NIV).

Notice the connection between focus and success. Success in God’s Kingdom is not accidental. It comes from staying on the Word, remaining focused on the Lord, and living in His Word and His purpose for your life. Hallelujah!

🙏PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your Word that keeps me steadfast, focused and established in your perfect will. My gaze is fixed on you, and my heart is anchored in your truth. I refuse distractions and remain unwavering in the path you’ve ordained for me. I walk in continual victory, prosperity and success, as I live according to your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY📖=>
Hebrews 12:2 AMPC; Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Joshua 1:8 AMPC; This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

📜FELLOWSHIP WITH THE SPIRIT

📖 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14).

👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc. DSc. DD.

In our previous study, we made a very important point, which is the fact that the most important thing for anyone to do in this world is to discover God’s purpose and fulfil it. But sometimes, there are those who are already in the line of their calling in life, yet they don’t even know God chose them for it. They may not have enough understanding concerning God’s purpose for their lives, but they simply continue on the course life has presented to them.

To a certain extent, that may help, because they’re at least moving in a direction connected to their destiny. But in the journey of life, there’ll always be adversaries and adversities. The challenge is this: when obstacles arise, if you’re not connected with the One who knows what must be done to move beyond that point, your journey could be truncated.

The unexpected events of life could derail or even destroy what seemed to be a promising path. Not because you weren’t gifted, capable, or called but because you never truly discovered from the One who planned your life what His full purpose was and how to fulfil it completely.

This is why fellowship with the Holy Spirit is indispensable. No matter how successful your journey may appear outwardly, there’s a higher calling, a greater purpose, and a divine pattern that only the Spirit of God can unveil to you. He created you. He knows why you’re here. He knows the full extent of your calling and how to fulfil it to His glory and for His pleasure.

The Bible says in Revelation 4:11 that all things were created for His pleasure. We don’t live for ourselves; we live for Him. This consciousness gives meaning to your life and clarity to your pursuits. It helps you realize how much you need the Holy Spirit. When you walk in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you receive divine direction, wisdom, strength and grace to fulfil your calling joyfully and victoriously.

Therefore, cultivate fellowship with the Spirit through studying the Word, prayer, and yieldedness to His guidance. Always tell Him how much you love Him and rely on His person, power and glory within you to put you over in all things. Hallelujah!

🙏PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the blessing and ministry of the Holy Spirit who guides me in the path of your perfect will. My life fulfils your pleasure and brings glory to your Name today as I rely on the Holy Spirit, His power and glory within me, to put me over in all things, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

📜FULFIL YOUR PURPOSE TO HIS GLORY

📖 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc. DSc. DD.

The life Christ has given us to live is to the glory of the Father. God always had a very clear agenda, a definite purpose for the world and universe He created and, in particular, a definite purpose for your life. When you study the Scriptures, you discover a remarkable consistency in God’s plan and an unmistakable clarity of purpose concerning His creation and your place in it.

You’re not in this world to balance the ecosystem. There’s a reason you were born at such a time as this, in the place where you are, with the gifts, abilities and opportunities entrusted to you. But it’s unfortunate that many go through life without ever discovering that purpose.

Don’t just exist, driven by trends, pressures, circumstances, and changing conditions. That’s not God’s plan for you. He never intended for your life to be directed by circumstances, whether favourable or unfavourable. A life governed merely by external events eventually produces emptiness and inward frustration, regardless of outward success. The world may admire the seeming accomplishments of such individuals, yet deep within, there remains the painful awareness that they never truly fulfilled their purpose for being.

The most important thing for anyone to do in this world is to discover and fulfil God’s purpose for their lives. And this can only come through a genuine relationship with Him. Purpose is not discovered through speculation, human philosophy, or personal ambition. It’s revealed through fellowship with the Lord and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

When you truly come to know the Lord and walk in fellowship with Him, there comes a certainty in your spirit of the divine direction and the heavenly vision for your life. More than that, the Holy Spirit helps you fulfil that purpose. He doesn’t merely reveal God’s plan to you; He empowers you to walk in it and make it happen. Therefore, live purposefully and walk with the consciousness that your life has meaning, direction, and divine significance. Through the Holy Spirit, fulfil your purpose to the glory of God.

🙏PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for giving my life meaning, direction, and divine purpose. I refuse to live aimlessly or be driven by circumstances. Through fellowship with your Spirit and the light of your Word, I walk in the path you ordained for me before the foundation of the world, fulfilling your purpose joyfully and effectively, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*THE NAME THAT RULES HEAVEN AND EARTH*

📖 *_"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18)._

📘 Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD*

When the Lord Jesus declared, *_"...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,"_* He made a proclamation no earthly ruler could ever truthfully make. Throughout history, mighty empires arose with extraordinary influence and vast dominions.

The Pharaohs ruled with terrifying authority in Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar expanded Babylon's greatness across nations. The Persians, the Greeks, and later the Romans each dominated the world in their time. Yet, every one of those empires eventually crumbled.

However, while Rome still stood in all its pride and *"glory,"* the Lord Jesus came on the scene with a higher dominion. This wasn't merely political authority or earthly influence but absolute authority over all realms, visible and invisible, celestial and terrestrial. No emperor ever possessed that. No king ever ruled both heaven and earth. Only the Lord Jesus declared such authority.

This was why the disciples were so fiercely persecuted. They proclaimed another Kingdom while Caesar was still emperor. They preached a Name greater than Rome's authority, and the rulers of that age couldn't tolerate it. Yet, while they all faded away, the dominion of Christ continued increasingly unabated.

Hebrews 13:8 says, *_"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."_* His authority hasn't diminished. His Name hasn't weakened through the ages. The same Name that healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out devils, and shook nations in Bible days carries the same power today.

More wonderfully, He's given us the power of attorney, the legal right and divine authority to act in His stead. When you speak in the Name of Jesus, you're not uttering mere words; you're exercising authority from the One who rules heaven and earth. Therefore, never be intimidated by earthly systems, oppositions, or circumstances.

Empires may rise and fall, governments may change, and human powers may fade, but the Name of the Lord Jesus remains eternally supreme. Use that Name with boldness. Use it to enforce His will in your world, for He rules over all, now and forever. *Hallelujah!*

*🙏 PRAYER*

Dear Father, thank you for the authority vested in the Name of Jesus. I walk in boldness, victory and dominion today, conscious that I've been sent in His Name to establish your righteousness and your will in the earth. Even now, I declare in the Name of Jesus that circumstances are aligned with your perfect purpose for my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

*Philippians 2:9-10;* "[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;"

*Acts 4:12;* "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

*Ephesians 1:19-22 AMPC;* "[19] And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, [20] Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], [21] Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come. [22] And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the Church [a headship exercised throughout the church],"
