REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD
We are already in this beautiful year 2026
We are going to do amazing things that will stun the world.
Every new year, generally people come into a year with lots of hope; very expectant and then by the middle of the year, things don't look very different from the previous year. In many cases, they find that things are even worse. Then of course, discouragement sets in and they finally race towards the end of the year without any significant achievements. So they go very sad.
And the next year comes and it's the same thing.
There are a few things that such people don't realize.
You have a whole new responsibility to your destiny than you ever thought.
What happens in your life has to do with you, your words, thoughts and structure of your mind. Most of what your life turns out with is the making of your mind.
Jesus asked the Jews "why do you reason like this?"
Their reasoning was their undoing.
For a whole lot of people, that's where the problem is: their reasoning.
That's the library of thoughts in your system
That's what you got.
What are the books on your shelf? You reason the way you do because those are the thoughts you have imbibed
You gave yourself to the kind of information that you have. What you've been listening to and reading.
You are the product of the information you have imbibed. You can't be different from what you've been listening to and meditating on.
Maybe you always listen to the word of God but always cancel it with some other thought.
"You have made the word of God of None effect by your traditions".
Information from your environment and upbringing. They control your life and make the word of God that you have received of none effect.
That's why year after year, they seem to have the same experience or even worse.
But you can make a difference and it's very simple: You have to choose who you are listening to. Your life is going to go in the direction of who you are listening to.
This year, the Lord has told us is the year of Manifestation.
I shared with you 3 areas of this manifestation. Listen to the message again and let the holy Spirit guide you.
Sometimes people listen to the word of God and make radical decisions.
Some feel The way God expects us to demonstrate love in the body of Christ goes back to Acts 2. They feel we should give up all our belongings like they did in Acts but
The Christians in Acts 2 to chapter 15 were a baby church and their expectation of the masters return was baded on the misunderstanding of the scriptures. Infact, till acts 15, they didn't believe gentiles should be saved. They also believed Jesus would come on their generation. They completely misunderstood the message of Christ.
They had only received the holy Spirit in that acts 2. They needed to receive and understand the ministry of the holy Spirit which at that time, they didn't have much clue about.
Without the holy Spirit, you cannot understand the scriptures.
Their understanding of the scriptures at that time was mental. But over time, they began to understand global evangelism through the ministry of Paul the apostle.
The revelation of this mystery was given to Paul.
Peter in his second epistle indicated that the writings of Paul were scripture. They came by divine revelation. He was telling the church to learn his material.
It's very important that you understand the first part: the manifestation of the truth.
Go back and study what I told you was the definition of the word of God.
There are many satanic cults that use the Bible and turn things upside down.
This year particularly, focus on Gods word in truth. Because there is a lot of misunderstanding of the scripture. Many preach the bible with terrible ignorance. And while they are at it, they condemn others.
It matters who you are listening to.
Your decisions and behaviors depends on the last person you listened to, and that makes you unstable.
Romans 9:30-32
When the Gentiles came into Christ, they came by Faith. They trusted in the righteousness of Christ that was given to them by Faith not by any work of the law. The law was not given to them.
But Israel that was given the law, wanted to attain righteousness by the works of the law.. and it didn't work for them
Romans 10:1
V1: around the world there are preachers/ministers who have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge.
V2: that's their problem. That's the reason for so much ibstability. Most don't really know. They have assumptions. It seems logical to them. But is that what God is saying?
If you want to really live to Jesus Christ you have to know his word.
You have to know the truth and walk in truth.
Mathew 7;1-7, Mark 7:1-
These were the people that said they loved God but they wanted to Kill Jesus because He told the truth. Their hearts were full of hatred, bitterness and envy. How can you serve God when your heart is full of envy and beittwrness.
With all of those things, it doesn't matter how many scriptures you quote. If a man or woman walks in love they re better than you. The one who walks in love has fulfilled the law.
Understand the scriptures and walk in the light of God's word if you want to see the manifestation of the truth.
2 Cor 4:1-2
If our gospel is said to be unclear, it is hid to them that are lost
By The manifestation of the truth, You become the expression of God's word.
Jesus said "Sanctify them through thy truth, they word is truth". John 17:17
What is the word? It is not the word of God if it's not consistent with the doctrines of Jesus Christ and the provisions of the gospel.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the unfolding of the truth. The truth was unknown until Jesus was manifested.
The word "manifestation" is also used in 1 Cor 12:7
What is the manifestation of the spirit? If you understand this, you will understand the manifestation of truth.
The manifestation of the spirit is given...
V1-6...The focus is on the spiritual gifts.
V11: It is the spirit that is working through these people that were given these gifts.
When you have received the truth of God, it controls your mentality. It is your opinion and ideas. The truth of God now works through you and the holy Ghost works through those individuals.
You are not only one who talks the truth but who lives the truth.
What is the truth? The holy Ghost cannot manifest himself in assumptions.
This year, you've got to focus on Gods word..
If you listen to what I share with you consistently, it will help you. .
Some people feel they will have a balanced mentality if they listen to many preachers. You will confuse yourself. These are people with different backgrounds.
It's not the one who speaks loudest that speaks the truth.
God doesn't send you to many men of God.
1 Cor 4:15.
There are myriads of teachers online and outside. But Paul said "follow me as I follow Christ".
Jeremiah 2:13 They've created for themselves a certain type of Christianity. That is Religion.
The Bible talks about the house of Saul vs the House of David.
Even though God chose Saul, Saul preferred to do things his way. He was not a man who was after God's heart. He was fulfilling his dreams using God's calling.
So, God decided to pick David, who was a man after God's heart .
The spirit of God departed from Saul and came upon David.
So, the house of Saul was the house of the flesh. The house of Saul grew eaker and weaker even after his death.
But the house of David grew stronger and stronger.
Same thing has happening in the church for a long time. But the house of Saul is getting weaker and weaker.
Choose which house you will stay.
It's not hard to know which is right.
The love of Christ constrains us.
1 Cor 15:3-8 TLB
PAUL said he was born out of due time ...
Paul liked to use sports analogy a lot.
Extra time in football happens when at the end of 90 mins, there is no clear winner. Usually for Half hour.
Going into extra time, you want to win. You fought so hard during the main game, you can't allow yourself to lose now. The coach would want to make sure he has his best players in there and remove those who got injured. He wants to make sure his defence is strong and that his strikers are good with their attacks depending on how he interpreted the match.
When we come into our Kingdom theme... God's people that are out to win souls. Now we are in a race for the last man. It's like a treasure hunt. If you are the one given the privilege to find the last man, you can't lose that opportunity. It's not the one you had been talking to for years
One of the secrets in evangelism is that the people who are closest to you don't need you to do any talking. Your lifestyle does the talking. Pray for them but reach out to those you have never reached. That's the wisdom of God. Most times, for the people you know, just a simple explanation to the questions they have, gets them in. So just pray for them and live your life. Don't be distracted by those who just keep asking questions.
When the gospel enters into a nation through whatever people God sends in there, they become responsible for spreading it. That lad has received the gospel.
Philip the Evangelist went to Samaria and preached Christ to them, healed their sick, and reported to the disciples. The disciples recorded that SAMARIA had received the word.
We don't know the number that God wants to bring in from all the gentile nations. We can see the signs of the times, which means the end is near. So we have to move fast . Today's technology makes it so easy to reach many people at the same time.
There are some Christians that don't believe in the Rapture.
1 Cor 15:51-52
Not everybody will die, but all will be changed.
If the dead did not rise, that would mean that after all the Apostles died, they perished. (V35
1 Thess 4:13-
V14: God will bring them with him
V16-17: This is where the word RAPTURE comes from. We will be Caught Up to meet with the Lord in the air.
Jesus is only taking us to Heaven to show us where he is from, and to show that everything he said was true. Then we will come back and rule with him for 1000 years.
If you don't believe in the Rapture, do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe Christ actually Ascended after his resurrection? Where then did He go? So why are you a Christian?
Enoch was Raptured
Elijah was Raptured
Jesus was Raptured.
There is no difficulty in believing this. It's just there.
I think anyone who doesn't want to believe it, just does not want to because there is too much responsibility in believing it. Only those who are not ready, don't want to believe it.
So this year, 2026, let's find the last lost soul.
