🔴 No problem has ever come until the solution was born. Hear what I’m telling you — this is important.

🔴 Problems gravitate towards their solutions. If the seed of the solution is in you, the problem is coming to you.

🔴 There are certain things I’ve faced in my life — that’s why I cannot be discouraged. I can’t have a bad day. It’s not possible.
I made up my mind a long time ago — it’s not possible!

🔴 When I face certain things, I say, “Dear God, thank you. I’m born for this.”
There is no problem but the one whose solution was born before it ever existed.

🔴 Problems arise and gravitate towards their solutions.
If God has given you the seed of a solution, the problem will look for you.
So, the problems that come to you are bread for you!

🔴 The scripture says:

> “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
— Romans 8:28

🔴 I’ve made up my mind about that. I am convinced about that. I have no doubt about it.
He says “All things work together for good.”
I cannot be disadvantaged — it is impossible.
It will turn out for my good!

🔴 This is not religion — this is reality!
It will turn out for your good.

🔴 How could you be discouraged? Why would you cry?
I only cry for lost souls when I intercede for them.
I cry in worship. Apart from that, I never cry.
I never shed a tear for anything else.

🔴 Why? Because I was born for the top!
I can never be defeated!

🔴 The Bible says:

> “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
— 1 John 5:4

🔴 Notice — it didn’t say whosoever, but whatsoever!
That means anything that is born of God — whether it’s a man or the words proceeding from him — overcomes the world!

🔴 Stand up, brother!
Thus saith the Lord unto you:
Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world!
Where I have planted you, no one can overcome you.
I have given you the victory, saith God.
You have the victory. Go with courage!

🔥 “This is the victory that overcometh the world — even our faith!” 🔥

🔴 He says:

> “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

You are not going to overcome, you are not hoping to overcome —
You have already overcome!

🔴 And again, the Word declares:

> “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
— Romans 8:37

🔥 I KNOW WHO I AM.
🔥 I KNOW WHO I AM.
🔥 I KNOW WHO I AM.

Glory to God! Hallelujah! 🙌

🔴GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

🔴The Lord Jesus is totally committed to you no matter what you’ve done in the past.

🔴This may be difficult for some to accept because of the guilt they feel about certain things in their lives, but it’s true nonetheless.

🔴Peter felt guilty after he denied Jesus, and his guilt almost destroyed him.

🔴When Jesus had told him that he would deny Him three times, Peter had responded “Not even if I have to die with you! I’ll never deny you!” (Mark 14:31 TLB).

🔴Well, Peter did deny Jesus three times, though he later felt so terrible about it. He almost couldn’t forgive himself. However, when Jesus arose from the dead, the angel in front of the empty tomb said to the women who came there, “…Give this message to his disciples including Peter: “Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there…” (Mark 16:7 TLB).

🔴The Lord knew Peter was weighed down with guilt, so He had to let him know that he was still loved. Just imagine Peter’s joy when he got the news. He realized he had been given another chance.

🔴I encourage you today not to give up on yourself, because the Lord Jesus will never give up on you.

🔴He can turn every mistake of yours into something beautiful.

🔴He made Simon, an unstable person become Apostle Peter the rock; He surely knows what to do with your life; so trust Him to make something beautiful out of it.

🔴God knows what to do with someone like you. He knows how to handle someone like you.

🔴He's totally committed to you and will make a champion of you.

📖Hebrews 13:5 I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

🔴God specialises in making champions of people. Trust him to make a champion of you.

🔴He has handled people like Elijah, Samson, David, Solomon, Moses, Gideon, and so many more and he made a success of them. He sure knows how to handle someone like you.

The church that gives your life a meaning…..

PRAY & EXERCISE FAITH

King Asa of Judah commanded an army of 580,000 soldiers (2 Chr.14:8). In contrast, King Zerah of Ethiopia had 1 million soldiers, and at a point, he launched an attack against King Asa (2 Chr.14:9). Given the numerical disparity, defeat seemed inevitable for King Asa. Nonetheless, he faced this daunting challenge head-on.

This scenario exemplifies situations we often encounter in life where defeat appears imminent.

How did King Asa handle this predicament?
According to 2 Chronicles 14:10-11, he chose not to flee in fear. Instead, the scripture states,

Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: HELP US, O LORD OUR GOD; for we rest on thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, THOU ART OUR GOD; LET NOT MAN PREVAIL AGAINST THEE.

King Asa petitioned the Lord for assistance and, trusting that his prayer had been heard, he stepped out in faith to confront his enemy.

What was the outcome of King Asa's prayer and faith-driven actions?

2 Chronicles 14:12-13 says,

So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

From this account, it is evident that, regardless of the magnitude of a challenge, praying to God and taking faith-driven action will prompt the Lord to intervene on your behalf, ensuring a remarkable victory.

The solution to the problem currently causing you anxiety is merely a prayer and a faith-driven action away.

Jesus loves you,it’s not time to give up or back down,your victory is so certain and you are next in line for miracles.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the blessing of serving You and worshipping You from my spirit. You’re all that thrills my soul; You’re more than life to me! I love You, precious Holy Spirit, and my whole heart is focused on You even now, to receive Your glorious touch, and be transformed in Your presence.

Thank You for the inherent ability in me to prosper in all that I do. As the seed of Abraham, everything that is connected to me is blessed—my finances, business, job, academic, family, etc. I walk in the consciousness that I am blessed to be a blessing. I am in Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom; therefore, I am innovative, creative, inventive and ingenious. I always function with supernatural amplitude of comprehension, thinking excellent thoughts.

I am an answer from God; I bring deliverance to every creation in my world, taking them out of bo***ge and corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. I give life to the things around me through the power of my words, for these are the days of the manifestation of the sons of God. Hallelujah!

🔴The Global New Year’s Eve Service with Pastor Chris is an annual cross-over night service hosted by Rev. (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome, President of Christ Embassy/LoveWorld Incorporated.

🔴It’s a spiritually charged event filled with:

🙌Praise and worship
🗣️Prayer and prophetic declarations
💯Spiritual teachings and scripture
🌍Global participation by believers around the world.

☀️Attending the New Year’s Eve Service WITH PASTOR CHRIS is about preparing spiritually, receiving direction, and stepping into the new year with faith, purpose, and divine assurance.

☀️Here are 10 REASONS why attending this year's December 31st New Year's Eve Service IS A MUST🔥🔥🔥

𝟏. 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑

🔴The service ushers you into the new year with God’s Word and prophetic insight. Pastor Chris shares divine direction that helps you understand what God is emphasizing for the coming year, so you don’t enter it blindly.

𝟐. 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

🔴Crossing over in prayer and worship helps you align your spirit with God’s agenda. It positions you to walk in purpose, clarity, and victory from the very first day of the year.

𝟑. 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

🔴Words spoken at crossover moments are powerful. The prophetic declarations made during the service set the tone for the year and help believers take possession of God’s promises.

𝟒. 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐓𝐇

🔴After a full year of challenges and victories, the service brings refreshing, encouragement, and renewed faith to face the new year with confidence.

𝟓. 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑

🔴There is great power in praying together as a global body of Christ. Corporate prayer brings results that individual prayer alone may not always achieve.

𝟔. 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐒𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄

🔴It’s a special time to thank God intentionally for preservation, provision, and grace throughout the year—acknowledging Him as the source of all blessings.

𝟕. 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇-𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

🔴The service helps you enter the new year with clear spiritual expectations, vision, and confidence that God’s Word will produce results in your life.

𝟏𝟎. 𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄

🔴Crossing over with God gives you spiritual advantage— you step into the new year conscious of His presence, power, and guidance.

🔴The indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is one of the greatest blessings we have as Christians.

🔴The Holy Spirit is our advantage and the secret to a glorious and successful life. Thus you must recognize and take advantage of His ministry in your life.

🔴Some Christians ignore the ministry of the Holy Spirit, hence their lives are out of joint; full of ups and downs.

🔴It’s the ministry of the Holy Spirit to guide and lead in all affairs of life; it’s His ministry to grant you the wisdom and counsel you need to win every day in life.

🔴Consciously acknowledge His presence with you and in you, and learn to yield to Him always.

🔴Never ignore His counsel.

🔴The Bible says in Isaiah 30:21, “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”

☀️Whose voice do you think that is? It’s the voice of the Holy Spirit.

☀️He speaks to us daily on life’s issues through God’s Word, but many ignore His counsel because His voice is never strong and harsh against us.

🔴It matters that in whatever you do, you honour the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.

🔴Don’t wound his tender compassion by consistently rejecting His counsel.

🔴Perhaps you talked to someone rudely and the Holy Spirit corrected you, be quick to heed His correction and make the necessary amends. Otherwise, His voice that used to be clear to you may soon become faint and distant if you continually ignore Him.

🔴Don’t Ignore The Spirit! Live your life in a way that brings honour to the Holy Spirit; appreciate His presence in your life and you’d be glad you did.

🔴The Holy Spirit is your comforter, teacher and guide. Seek to do only those things that are honorable and pleasing to Him.

📖John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

🔴Jesus called the Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth, which means the Spirit of reality; the One who unveils the realities of life to you (John 16:13). He’s sent of God to teach you all things and remind you of the Word of God when you need it most (John 14:26). He’s your comforter, helper, strengthener and guide. He shows you the future.

🔴Many haven’t taken advantage of His presence in their lives, so they walk in confusion; beaten down by the challenges of life.

🔴Submit to the ministry of the Holy Spirit and develop an intimacy with Him through fellowship.

🔴Apportion regular times in the day to spend with Him, and He’ll reveal mysteries to you concerning your life, future, family, job, finances and everything else related to you.

🔴He’ll fly you on eagle’s wings and teach you how to excel and win on a daily basis.

𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐀 𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄

⚫️You‟ve got to make a quality decision to walk in love and in order to walk in love towards others; you‟ve got to love yourself first.

⚫️You cannot make anyone else happy if you are not happy.

⚫️If you make yourself happy, you will make other people happy.

⚫️But, if something makes you happy and gets others sad, you need to watch it.

⚫️If someone wrongs you, don‟t hold it against him, otherwise you will soon be walking out of love and hence break your fellowship with God.

⚫️God is not going to hold the person who wronged you responsible, because God deals with you to the exclusion of everybody else.

⚫️In other words, you don‟t come to God and question Him or complain to Him about others. I will give you a good example: after Jesus had been raised from the dead, and His disciples had gone back to fishing, He appeared unto them (John 21).

⚫️After He had made a meal for them, He turned round and spoke to Peter, asking him if he loved him more than “these.” Three times He asked Peter this question.

⚫️Finally Jesus told him what kind of death with which he would glorify God.

⚫️But John had been following all this while, and Jesus had not said anything about him.

⚫️So Peter asked, “what about this man? What will this man do.” Read the answer for yourself in John 21: 22.

⚫️Jesus did not tell Peter what would happen to John.

⚫️ In fact what He said was the same as telling Peter, “It‟s none of your business.” He deals with you as you, so leave others alone.

If someone annoys you, leave him alone. You settle your heart with God.

⚫️Jesus - An Example

—⭐️Hebrews 12:2-6: “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”

⚫️Jesus endured such contradiction against Himself when He was on the Cross; the people for whom He was dying spat at Him yet He endured it.

—⭐️I Peter 2:21-23: “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffiered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffiered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.”

⚫️Jesus has given us an example to follow therefore make Him your choice and follow Him.

⚫️Two wrongs can never make a right so you don‟t have to react negatively when someone commits an offence against you.

⚫️You will be wrong to do so because then you will be walking in darkness.

⚫️This is the reason some Christians don‟t experience answers to prayers.

⚫️Though their prayers have already been answered long ago, their faith cannot release the answer, because they are not walking in love.

⚫️Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6), but this faith can only work by love.

⚫️There are different kinds of faith; the one in the New Testament is that which works by love.

—⭐️Galatians 5:6:“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.”

⚫️In Christ Jesus the only faith that is acceptable is that which works by love.

⚫️If without faith it is impossible to please God, it means you can not please Him without love, since your faith needs to be operated by love.

⚫️If your faith is not mixed with love, it becomes unacceptable in Christ Jesus because you cannot be pleasing to God without love.

⚫️Have you ever heard a Christian say, “I know myself, I am not patient.” It really is a shame when Christians pride themselves in the wrong things.

⚫️It means they are still in darkness, and are as bad as the guy that says, “It is so easy for me to take 24 bottles of beer.”

⚫️Yes, this guy is boasting in something wrong, and should be ashamed of himself.

⚫️But there is no difference between him and a Christian who says, “I know myself, I know that I cannot endure for long, I am not patient.”

⚫️When you say things like this, you reject the Holy Spirit.

🔴 You may be talking in tongues and demonstrating great works of faith, but you are still a babe, because the real measure of your faith is love.

—⭐️Glory to God🙌

⚫️There are people whose minds are like an open field that anyone (or animal, for that matter) can go through and drop unwanted seed.

⚫️When you leave your mind open this way, any worthless seed can be thrown in it and it’ll grow.

⚫️It’s your spirit that the Bible describes as a
field, not your mind.

⚫️And because your spirit is only accessible through your mind—which is the door to your spirit—nothing can get in there that you don’t first allow in your mind.

⚫️That’s why the Lord instructs us: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23).

⭐️ “THINK ON THESE THINGS...”

⚫️The word, “keep,” used in this scripture is the same used in Genesis 2:15: “And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”

⚫️It doesn’t suggest putting or separating the garden away to somewhere safe.

⚫️It actually implies taking care of it in a protective way and ensuring its security against any external aggressor.

⚫️The Good News Bible translation puts it clearer.

⭐️It says, “...the LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it.”

⚫️The word “guard” has a military connotation, which suggests protecting from attack or maintaining in safety from danger.

⚫️You’d agree that if there’s no enemy or adversary, there wouldn’t be any need to guard something that belongs to you against an attacker.

⚫️Truth is, there’s an adversary, and that’s why the Lord instructs you to keep—or guard—your heart with all diligence.

⚫️I love James Moffat’s delivery of Proverbs 4:23-24. He says in his translation, “Guard above all things, guard your inner self so you can live and prosper.

⚫️Bar out all thoughts of evil and banish wayward words.”

⚫️Have you ever heard someone say, “I was barred from joining the team”? It means he was prevented, kept out, blocked, or disallowed from joining the team.

⚫️That’s how the Bible tells you to guard your heart, by barring (disallowing, keeping out) all thoughts that are not consistent with God’s Word.

⚫️Now, this doesn’t sound like the evil thoughts are originating from you, does it? What it simply shows is that there’s a devil out there trying to send the wrong thoughts into your heart (through your mind).

⚫️So you’re admonished to bar his evil thoughts and banish his wayward words.

⚫️If someone says something to you that challenges God’s Word, bar it from your mind!

⚫️Don’t try to accommodate it or reason it out.

⚫️The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence, so you must recognise that God is not going to guard your heart for you.

⚫️The responsibility is yours.

⚫️But the good news is that you’re not helpless as to what to do.

⚫️You’ve been equipped with “the whole armour of God” (Ephesians 6:11), and what you need to do is put it on and never take it off!

⚫️With your armour in place, you’ll be able to bar every evil thought or idea against God’s Word that tries to assault your mind.

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐃𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐆𝐎𝐃? | Pastor Chris

🔴 Question: Why do Christians face challenges when they already have the life of God? If they face them, who gives the challenges — God or the devil?

ANSWER – Pastor Chris:

🔵 Jesus already told us: “In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

🔵 As long as you are in this world, there will be challenges. But listen carefully — challenges don’t mean defeat. Problems, difficulties, or trials are not there to destroy you; they are the platforms for your faith to be tested, proven, and glorified.

📖 THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH

🔵 1 Peter 1:6–7 says, “The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.”

🔵 Just like gold is tested by fire and comes out shining brighter, your faith must be tested — and when it is, it brings you to honour and glory.

🔵 James 1:3 says, “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

🔵 That means challenges are part of the process that builds patience, character, and maturity. They don’t destroy you — they perfect you.

⚡️WHO BRINGS THESE CHALLENGES?

🔵 The Bible is clear: “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man” (James 1:13).

🔵 So, God is not the one sending problems to you. He is not the author of temptations, troubles, or trials.

🔵 The Bible calls the devil “the tempter” (Matthew 4:3, 1 Thessalonians 3:5). He is the one behind temptations and trials that try to derail your faith.

🔵 But here’s the victory: God never allows any temptation stronger than you to come your way. Instead, He always provides the way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13).

🔵 Challenges are not signs that God has abandoned you. They are opportunities to prove the Word, grow in faith, and demonstrate your victory.

🔵 The real question is not whether you face challenges, but what you do with them. With strong faith built on God’s Word, you will always come out on top.

🔥 So, the next time you face trials, don’t ask “Why me?” Ask:
👉 “What glory is God about to reveal through this?”
👉 “What promotion is waiting on the other side of this test?”

📌 Build your faith strong in the Word. You’ll always win!

🔵GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
