REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD
I want to welcome you to this global communion service in the month of August.
We are moving real fast in this year of Completeness and so much has happened already for the glory of God. .
There's a lot of Soulwinning going on.
This month is the month of Conscious Truth.
Intentionally conceived truth.
Truth can be around you but it doesn't mean that you know it. You can hold a material of truth; it doesn't mean to know what's in it.
You can recite truth, it doesn't mean you are conscious of it.
This month, what God wants to do is the consciousness of truth.
It's not enough to know the truth in a generic sense. You need the consciousness of truth.
I find some very puzzling things in the Bible. As I read the gospels in Matthew Mark, Luke and John, I'm amazed that there were some very striking statements made by Jesus that were not captured by any of the other synoptic gospels; only in John.
You wonder how is that even possible?
How did Matthew, Mark and Luke miss when Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life".
Luke claimed to have perfect understanding of the life and times of Jesus. How could he have missed a statement like that.
How is that possible? You don't miss that.
So, he had perfect understanding, but he missed such a line from Jesus.
What's the implication of that?
If God doesn't give it to you, you can't have it.
You can only see what he gives you eyes to see and Hear what he gives your ears to hear and Understand what he gives your heart the understanding for.
This helps us understand the limitations of the writers of the synoptic gospels: how far they could go in their writings.
I understand why it was all in John. It was about the revelation given to him.
You have got the gifts, callings and ministries that God calls us to do. When you understand it..
3John 1:3-4
The truth that is in thee...
My children walk in truth...
Why was Truth so important to John?
In the first epistle of John, He uses the word TRUTH ten times.
John 1:14: full of Grace and truth...
1:17:- grace and truth came by Jesus Christ..
4:23- The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and Truth.
4;24- Worship him in spirit and in truth.
8:32: The truth shall make you free
14:6- I am the way, the truth and life
14:17- Even the spirit of Truth (introducing the Holy Ghost)
15:26- even the spirit of Truth which proceeded from the Father
16:13-14: The spirit of Truth... Will guide you into all truth.
He shall receive of mine (I am the truth) and show it unto you.
17:17: Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth.
The people of the world don't know what Truth is. But Jesus revealed it.
John 18:38. The Governor, Pilate, did not know what Truth was.
The word of God is truth.
To live in the truth is to live in his word. To walk in the truth is to walk in the word. If you are not walking in the word, it's because your life is still a question. (You are living a question instead of living the truth.)
If you don't know the word, you can't live in it. You have to know and understand the word. You have to be open to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit will show you the truth about life about God, about the kingdom of God.
Another word for Truth is Reality. Not fact.
Meditation helps you to have a consciousness of the truth.
If you are going to live the conscious truth, you must meditate on the word.
Meditation helps you have a consciousness of the truth. Your spirit becomes a trustworthy guide because the word is deposited in your spirit and is readily available from anytime you want to draw from it. When occasion demands it, it will come to the fore.
A lot of times, people have assumptions that they think are true. They say something is accurate but it's not. They may not even know they have misunderstood or misinterpreted the scriptures. That's why true submission to the Holy Spirit and being teachable is important for a child of God. Being willing to learn and listen to the holy Ghost.
2 Corinthians 4:1-2
Manifestation of the truth...
There is a difference between telling the truth of a subject matter and a manifestation of the truth.
It's talking about living the word.
The manifestation of the truth is the manifestation of the word.
Your life becomes a living Bible. We can literally live your life with the word.
There is a deception in the mind of people.
Terms like "nobody is perfect" come from Satan. As a Christian, you may think you are being humble or saying what is obvious: but you are lying. What you are saying is inconsistent with God's truth.
How did you know you are not perfect?
Do you know what perfection is?
How do you Judge? You arrogated to yourself this authority that was not given to you to judge everybody. And then you made God to be a liar, because He said "Be perfect as God is perfect".
You are saying God deceived you by saying you should be perfect when you couldn't be.
When you say "man has flaws," what do you mean? Were you told to be a man? He said when you are carnally minded, you will live the life of a man. So when they say these things, they are trying to make excuses for their flaws. They are saying "excuse my flaws." That is witchcraft. They are manipulative.
Next time you hear someone talk like that, you are listening to a manipulator. So you say quietly, "Devil, come out of them," because they are trying to lead you in a way that is not right.
He sent the Holy Ghost for the perfection of the saints. If that will not happen on earth, why then are we here?
So once you think like that, you will never see it. It will never happen for you. Why are you striving for something you know will never happen? If you do not know where it is, how will you know when you get there? That is a journey without destination.
Learn to believe the truth from Jesus Christ. His Word is clear. He already told you what perfection is. It is alignment with the Father's will and His righteousness. His righteousness is not the calculation of your brain, but His Word.
The Holy Spirit. Learn to tell yourself His truth. That is the only way. Christianity is the manifestation of truth. That is true Christianity. You set your gaze on Him, and the more you look at Him, the more you are like Him, and the more the glory is revealed in your life. He called us the righteousness of God.
The same way you grow as a child into maturity is the same way in the Spirit you will come into a place of maturity. How do you know that? Alignment and consistency through the Word. The first place it shows up is your tongue. I can tell where you are at through your words.
James 3:2 (KJV): For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
(Choose to live by the truth, not human diagnosis)
You will struggle with your flaws as long as you believe in them. But if you believe in His righteousness, rightwiseness, and rightness, you will stand up and walk in it. And you will find your life glowing from glory to glory.
Some time ago, I warned you about this lifestyle that the world wants you to imbibe: Medical checkup.
Check up of what?
For a lot of people, it's their elitist, proud, status consciousness, high class pretending, lifestyle
When you were broke Jesus was your doctor. Now you have money and you have a professor doctor.
I warned you about the pressure gauge
Who told you that your blood pressure is high?
Who is this person that knows what the pressure is supposed to be?
Covid gave us the opportunity to let people learn to think for themselves and ask questions. Tyrants dont like people that ask questions. But that day has passed. Now the cat is out of the bag and we are going to ask Questions.
Those pressure measurements are tweaked.
The hospital is a prison for a lot of people.
Yes, Sometimes, you go for checkup and they find something there that the devil put there in the first place. Where did the Cancer come from? Were you born with it? Most likely not.

We as Christians need to understand our position and role in this world.
We are taxonomically different from nonchristians. As he is, so are we in this world
You were recreated in Christ. You are a new creature. It's a fundamental truth
So we don't belong in this world like the earthlings.This is why we take the communion
1 Corinthians 15:45-
Jesus is the first of the new creation. He was a made a life giving spirit.
When you were born of your earthly parents, you were born after the first Adam. But when you were born again, you were born of the Last Adam.
If your blood sibling isn't born again, you may look outwardly the same from a myopic perspective, but when a true light is turned on, you are from two kingdoms. One is called light: is lambent. Emits light.
The other is darkness, he absorbs light. He is of the dark nature.
You are not the same at all.
Jesus Is the true light that lighteth every man that comes into the world.
If you want to know the true nature of a thing, look through the true light of Jesus Christ.
Brothers and sisters, you have to learn to be careful. Listen to the holy Ghost.
