IT’S LIKE PERFUME (Your Hands Lifted In Worship: A Sweet Fragrance To God)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
John 4:23 “...The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
When you really know the Lord Jesus, your worship and praise of Him become meaningful. They’re not merely inspired by the beauty or melody of the song. Rather, they effuse from the deep recesses of your heart in true fellowship, based on your knowledge of His greatness and loving-kindness. There may not even be any music playing while you’re worshipping, but your heart will be so enraptured and entwined with Him, and you’ll find yourself bursting forth with songs and melodies of the Spirit.
Adherents of the various religions in the world praise, worship, and pray. The question is, who is the object of their worship? Who are they praying to? What are they saying to him? And what might be his response, if any? Your worship and praise of God has to come from a place of knowledge of His Word. Otherwise, it would be ineffectual and unacceptable to God. No wonder today’s opening scripture says “...The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” Also, in 1 Timothy 2:8, the Bible tells us, “I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” As you lift your hands in worship, you’re offering to Him a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling fragrance. Go ahead and practise this now. Worship the Father from your spirit and according to His Word with your hands lifted up

PREPPED FOR THE EVIL DAY (Put On The Whole Armour Of God Against The Evil Day)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Ephesians 6:10-13 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
In medieval times, prosperous cities and kingdoms built high walls and garrisons to ward off attacks from their adversaries. As a tactical measure, an invading adversary would typically not announce their impending attack. Hence, the high-walled cities had to be primed with alert soldiers, night and day, who were always prepared for the evil day of the attack.
Similarly, as Christians, Scripture instructs us to be primed and ready ahead of the evil day. That’s why the first part of our opening scripture admonishes that you be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. The Lord will never tell you to do something you can’t! If He says “Be strong in the Lord,” it means that’s what you need to do, and you can do it!
In the eleventh verse, He instructs us on what to do against the devil. If you put on the whole armour of God as He said, you’ll be able to stand against all the stratagems, schemes, manoeuvres, and manipulations of the devil. The reason many falter when they face challenges is that they don’t act on the Word. In the verses we read in our opening scripture, God instructed us clearly on what to do. What He said in verse thirteen is the reason for verses 10-12.
There’s a day of trouble (the evil day); it’s to be anticipated. There’s an enemy out there seeking whom to devour, and when he has the opportunity, he’ll strike. But we’re not ignorant of His devices. Satan isn’t a factor. As long as you’re strong in the Lord—keeping His Word in your heart and your mouth—you’ll disconcert the enemy whenever he shows up. As long as the Word of God is your arsenal, you’ll always win. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit with which you cut the devil down. Hallelujah!

NEVER RESORT TO VIOLENCE (Take Upon Yourself The Responsibility Of Prayer)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
1 Timothy 2:1-2 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
Sometimes, when a group of people desires certain changes from their government, they express such desires by rioting and causing pandemonium in the streets. However, this isn’t God’s way to effect a change. If you read our opening verse, you’d see clearly how to change things in your favour. You’ve got to pray to experience peace in your nation; it’s not by bearing arms or becoming riotous.
It’s a fact that the happenings in our world today are quite concerning, but, hang on; the Church holds the solution! The Church is the only restraining power against evil on the earth today (2 Thessalonians 2:7). That’s why you must pray instead of joining in riots and protests. If you don’t pray for your country and its leaders, where would peace come from?
The result of real intercession for everyone in your country, especially the leaders, is an overwhelming experience of God’s blessings of peace and prosperity. When you pray and contend for the hearts of the unsaved in your country and around the world, God’s righteousness is established, and evil, turmoil, wickedness and terror are thwarted.
So, rise to the challenge and take up the responsibility of prayer. Pray earnestly and passionately in the Spirit for the nation where you live, and her leaders, and for the rest of the world. Pray also for ministers of the Gospel that they’d be granted more grace to preach the Gospel, with boldness and power, and that many more souls would be added to the Church all around the world.
🎯 Go Deeper
Colossians 4:2; Luke 18:1; Jeremiah 29:7
🔊 Pray
Dear heavenly Father, I pray that your peace, progress and prosperity will reign in the nations of the world and that the ministers of the Gospel would preach and minister your Word with boldness and power. I pray that the power and influence of their message will kindle your love in people’s hearts, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THINK ABOUT OTHERS AS WELL (Think And Pray Beyond Your Needs)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Philippians 2:3-4 MSG “Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
“Lord, I just wanted to remind you about my car request. Please Lord, it’s all I ask for,” Ryan pleaded.
“The car isn’t a problem, Ryan,” the Holy Spirit replied, “the question is, would you consider others’ requests as much as you do yours?”
“Others’ requests?” Ryan inquired.
“Yes, others’! Read what Philippians 2:4 says about looking out for others as much as yourself!”
Philippians 2:4 says, “Don’t just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing” (TLB). In other words, look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others. When you pray, it shouldn’t always be about you, your family, or things related only to you.
Let your prayers be for a greater cause than just yourself. Think and pray beyond your needs. It’s your responsibility to change the world through prayer, ministry, and protagonism. That’s what you have to do; otherwise, you haven’t lived!
You’ve got to develop a champion spirit! Champions don’t fight for themselves; they fight for others. That’s what we read in our opening verse; it says, “...Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage....” (MSG). There are many who are going through a lot of hurt, for whom we must pray.
Be moved by the poor conditions of those suffering around you. Let the plight of the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden stir compassion in you to intercede for them and cause a change in their lives today. Remember, we have a divine responsibility to intercede for the nations, leaders, and peoples of the world, especially as we are in the last hours of the last days.

I pray for those destined to receive salvation today all around the world, that the light of the glorious Gospel will shine in their hearts, dispelling the darkness and translating them into the liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BE ON YOUR GUARD (Always Be Alert And On The Look-Out)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Nehemiah 4:17 NASB “Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens carried with one hand doing the work, and the other keeping hold of a weapon.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
As they rebuilt the broken walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah and his fellow Jews were faced with intense opposition from their enemies. Those folks were determined to stop the building by any evil means, even if it included killing the builders. Nehemiah got wind of their intentions, so he led God’s people to continue building, but, this time, he prepared them to ward off any attack. Each builder held a weapon in one hand while working with the other and took every necessary precaution against any assault from the enemy.
Now, this was written for our learning (Romans 15:4). We’re partners and co-workers with the Lord in building His Church as we win souls and carry out the work of the ministry. Yet, while carrying out this assignment, we must be ready to fight against the decrees of darkness intended to force us to live in a world that’s hostile to the Gospel.
Knowing that his time is short, Satan is trying to move ahead to create an “antichrist environment” before his time. So, we must be alert, keen-eyed, and on the offensive! 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Stay awake and alert; listen with your spirit as you speak in tongues and meditate on the Scriptures. The Lord will give you strategies and guidance on how to effectively dismantle the structures of the adversary.
Refuse to be moved by the confusion, fear and deception in the world today. By the power of God’s Spirit, we (the Church) are exercising our authority in Christ and bringing in the new order of things. Get vitally involved in this. Pray like you’ve never done! When we call for days of global prayer and fasting, make sure to participate. We’re setting in place a new world order in the spirit, where the Gospel has free course. And this is all in preparation for the soon return of our Lord and King, Hallelujah!

PERSISTENCE IS ESSENTIAL (You Can Change Anything Through Persistent Prayer)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
James 5:16 NIV “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
“Dad, why do we have to pray so often? Roseline asked her dad right after their morning devotion.
“Well, that’s because persistence is essential when you’re praying to change a situation,” he explained.
The Amplified Classic version of our opening verse places much emphasis on persistent prayer: “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” The word “continued” is a clear indication that there must be some persistence. You don’t just mumble a few words and then say the issue has been instantly resolved. You keep pushing through in prayer until you have that note of victory in your spirit.
Think about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He took His three closest disciples—Peter, James and John with Him there to pray, and Matthew 26:39 tells us: “He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, ‘O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.’”
Luke, by the Spirit, relates the same event thus: “… Being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground” (Luke 22:44). intensity. This was no casual five-minute prayer! Recall that He reprimanded the disciples for their sleepiness and inability to keep watch (pray) with Him for an hour (Matthew 26:40).
The stakes were high for Jesus—He wasn’t just praying for Himself but for the salvation of generations past, present, and future! So, He persisted in prayer. This is what is required of us today. We must keep praying and interceding until the last soul that must be won is reached and brought into the Kingdom before the Rapture of the Church. The stakes are much higher now than they’ve ever been!
🎯 Go Deeper
Luke 1 1:2; Matthew 6:33 AMPC
🔊 Speak
Dear Father, thank you for the ability to pray and make changes. Even now, I pray for a great and mighty haul of souls into the Kingdom; your glory covers the earth today, and the souls of the unconverted are impacted with the light of your Gospel, turning them from darkness to light, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

WHAT A GIFT HE IS! (The Holy Spirit Is God’s Gift To You)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Acts 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
When it comes to receiving the Holy Spirit, a lot of people misunderstand the Scriptures. For example, in Luke 11:13, Jesus said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Jesus wasn’t talking to Christians here. He was talking to those under the Old Covenant.
Back then, anyone could have received the Holy Spirit just by asking, but sadly, most didn’t because they never asked. Jesus said ask and it shall be given to you (Luke 11:9). However, after Jesus rose from the dead and the New Testament began, the Word never tells us to ask for the Holy Spirit. What we’re told is how the apostles ministered the Holy Spirit to people; they “...prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit” (Acts 8:15), and some received without prayer (Acts 10:44-46).
So, there’s no need to ask God for the Holy Spirit today because He’s already been given to everyone! All you need to do is believe the Gospel, and you can receive Him. The Bible says in Acts 2:17, “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people...” (NIV). Notice God didn’t say “I will pour out of My Spirit upon all Christians” but “upon ALL PEOPLE.” This is the Father’s blessing which has come today! Without the Holy Spirit, you can’t truly live the Christian life. God desires that you walk in the fullness of the Spirit and live righteously and victoriously in this present world.
Galatians 3:14 says, “…Receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” So, if you haven’t received the Holy Spirit since you’ve been born again, you can receive Him now by faith—just the same way you received salvation in Christ. All you need to do is simply say, “Dear Father, I thank you for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit. I open my heart now, and I receive Him by faith, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” While thanking Him, you’ll be filled with the Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophesying, Glory to God!

KEEP THE WORLD LIT! (You Are The Light Of The World)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
John 1:5 AMPC “And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].”
▶️ LET’S TALK
The Apostle John describes how Jesus (the Word) was in the world, but the world never recognised Him. He unequivocally states that God’s Word is life; that life being the light of men! In the fifth verse, he continues, “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” The word translated “comprehend” is the Greek “katalambanō,” and it means to seize, attain, overtake, or overpower. It also means “to overcome.” Thus, the light shines in darkness, and the darkness can’t attain to its power; it can’t overcome or overpower it.
Think about this: have you ever turned on a light, and the darkness in the room was so intense that it made the light disappear? That could never happen! Even the smallest flicker dispels the deepest darkness. That’s how powerful light is.
This should help you understand who you are. When Jesus said “You are the light of the world…” (Matthew 5:14), He was talking about your calling as a Christian, and you must become conscious of this truth. You are to light up the dark places around you. Darkness can’t comprehend you because you’re shining as God’s light! Right where you are, you’re the light. If there are problems, you’re the one with the answers. You’re the one with creative ideas and solutions. Therefore, light up your world today: “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16 AMPC).

SET AND FOLLOW PRAYER TIMES (Take Your Personal Prayer Times Seriously)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Acts 6:4 GNB “We ourselves, then, will give our full time to prayer and the work of preaching.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
“Fred, it’ll soon be noon. I hope you’re ready to pray with Pastor Chris for just fifteen minutes?” Stanley asked.
“Oh, sorry, but I’m going to skip the prayer today. I have some urgent things to attend to,” Fred replied.
“That’s not right, Fred. If you had an important meeting with the President at a particular time, I’m sure you’d be ready hours ahead, and nothing would make you miss that appointment.”
“Sure, why did you say that?”
“Well, God is greater than the president of any nation; why would you want to miss a special time alone with Him?” Fred wondered.
Prayer is so important, and it’s not to be toyed with! Jesus showed this all through His earthly ministry. Matthew 17 recounts the story of an epileptic boy whom Jesus’ disciples couldn’t heal. He was eventually brought by his father to Jesus, and the Bible says, “…Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour” (Matthew 17:18).
The disciples were confused, so they went to Jesus privately and asked why they couldn’t cast out the demon. Jesus replied, “…Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:20-21).
What Jesus said shows us that some things require extra preparation. The level of impact you want to make spiritually depends on how serious you are about praying. If you’re trying to bring something big into reality, it’s going to take more time and intense fellowship in prayer.
That’s why it’s so important to have your own personal prayer times, where it’s just you and God with no distractions. Have a planned and robust prayer routine; schedule quality times where nothing can interrupt you. Give more attention to this.

THE WORD IS NON-NEGOTIABLE (Add To Your Knowledge Of God’s Word)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC “Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth”
▶️ LET’S TALK
As a Christian, one of the most crucial things you need is a solid understanding of the Word of God. The Lord said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6). Knowing the Word of God personally is super important because it reveals God’s will, His nature, and His purpose for your life. To neglect the Word is to be in the dark about the will of the Father and how He wants you to live.
We’ve got plenty of resources to help with your personal study and understanding of God’s Word. For example, the Rhapsody of Realities TeeVo devotional is designed to boost your spiritual growth and development by bringing you the right perspective from God’s Word every day. It includes segments like the day’s title, “To The Bible,” “Let’s Talk,” daily “Pray” or “Speak” sections, and Bible reading plans—all put together to help you dive into God’s Word every day. Make sure to use these resources!
You can also take advantage of the previous editions; the words are just as fresh; read through and study them. Remember, the Word of God is undated. It’s good for today. There’re also a lot of other materials, both audio and video, available on the Pastor Chris Digital Library (pcdl. co), spanning various life issues. Avail yourself of these materials, and you’ll be amazed at how fast and strong your faith will grow. So, make your personal study of the Word an integral part of your daily routine

BLAMELESS AND HOLY (The Lord Jesus Took Responsibility For All Your Sins)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Ephesians 5:26-27 NIV “To make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
▶️ LET’S TALK
When the Lord Jesus returns, He’s not coming with whip in hand to scold you or with loads of criticism about your shortcomings. No! The Bible tells us that Jesus is coming for His glorious Church, one without blemish and faultless before His eyes! You may say, “Is that possible?” Absolutely! That’s what His redemptive work was all about.
Colossians 1:21-22 CEV says, “You used to be far from God. Your thoughts made you his enemies, and you did evil things. But his Son became a human and died. So God made peace with you, and now he lets you stand in his presence as people who are holy and faultless and innocent.” Through the sacrifice of His own body as the sin-payment on your behalf, you now dwell in His presence. You’re no longer enemies with God (Read Ephesians 2:13-16).
How comforting it is to know the true nature and character of our heavenly Father! He brought us to Himself. James 1:5 says He doesn’t find faults or blame you for anything. He doesn’t count your sins against you (2 Corinthians 5:19). You’re free from accusation; you’ve been justified. No wonder Paul waxed poetic in Romans 8:33-34 when he said , “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and furthermore is also risen….” Then he gets to the climax in verses 38 and 39: “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Christ Jesus already died for you; He was condemned in your place. No one should condemn you anymore (Romans 8:1). Christ is your righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30). It doesn’t matter who accuses you; you’re holy, faultless and guiltless before God because Jesus took responsibility for all your sins. He’s the reason God doesn’t charge you with wrong. Hallelujah!

THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS (The Father Is Glorified Through The Church)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
▶️ LET’S TALK
The Church isn’t a conglomeration of religious groups; rather, it’s the Body of Christ, and it is full of glory. This is what Paul began to explain in the first chapter of the book of Ephesians. And then in Ephesians 3:6, he submits that “…the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body and joint partakers [sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through [their acceptance of] the glad tidings (the Gospel)” (AMPC).
1 Corinthians 12:27 tells us that we’re the Body of Christ and members individually. You might ask, “But Pastor, how did we become members of the Body of Christ?” It was by being baptised into Christ at the New Birth! Our opening verse says, “To Him (our Heavenly Father) be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” That means from generation to generation, the Father is glorified in the Church by Jesus Christ. The desire and ministry of Jesus is to glorify the Father always, and He does this through the Church.
Remain bold and courageous for and with the Gospel, even in the face of belligerent persecution and opposition, because His glory is in and upon you. With that glory, you triumph over sickness, diseases and poverty, and reign victoriously in life. The Church of Jesus Christ is glorious, triumphant, flourishing and full of dominion, wisdom, and power. Hallelujah!

A LIFE OF CONSISTENT VICTORIES (Live Your Life From Victory To Victory)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
2 Corinthians 2:14 AMPC “But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere.
▶️ LET’S TALK
You can win every day and achieve extraordinary success, and that’s the truth! As we get ourselves prepared in these last days before the Rapture, you’re not only going to be triumphant in your city, but also everywhere you go. 1 John 5:4 says, “For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith” (AMPC).
This has got to be your mentality. You’ve got to see yourself as a victor always. When we say Christ has given your life a meaning, that’s what we’re talking about because you’ve come to a place where you realise life isn’t for defeat; your journey is one of victory heaped upon victory. That’s the kind of life we received in Christ. It makes no difference that the world is in crisis; there should never be fear in you.
Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you]” (John 16:33 AMPC).
He overcame the world for you. To be born again is to be born of God, and 1 John 5:4 says whatever is born of God is victorious over Satan, the world and its failing system. Hallelujah! Get excited when you face troubles or crises because you’re confident it’ll all turn out for your good. This is because, in our Kingdom, we win only and make progress from glory to glory. We dominate this physical world with the principles of our heavenly Kingdom, Hallelujah!

THE KING IS ALMOST HERE! (Don’t Tire Out Or Flag in Zeal)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Romans 12:11 “Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
We can see clearly from the Scriptures and events in the world today that we’re in the final days before the Rapture of the Church. In other words, “our King is coming!” This isn’t the time to loaf around; there’s a lot the Lord wants to do through you in the short time left. You’ve got to work with the mentality that His appearing could be any minute, and be very passionate for the Gospel. Work hard to ensure its spread and impact around the world (today’s “Act” below shows one of the ways you can do this effectively).
As the Scriptures tell us, the Antichrist will only be given three-and-a-half years for the Great Tribulation. It’s going to be a period of intense trouble, worse than the world has ever experienced and will ever experience (Matthew 24:21), and it’ll be worldwide in scope. The Lord said, “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:22 NIV). Imagine the magnitude of evil and destruction that could be perpetrated by the Antichrist that would warrant a divine shortening. That also tells us something: We too can do a lot of good within a short time; we can shake up this world!
It begins with you giving more attention to prayer, especially praying for the impact of the Gospel worldwide in these last days. This is very important; it’s not just about you; it’s about the future of our world. Before the Rapture, we’ve got to dominate this world like never before! Jesus isn’t planning to “snatch” us out of this world as though we’ve been victims. Remember that He overcame the world. He’s coming for a victorious Church, a triumphant Church. Glory to God!

CUT THE ACT! (Don’t Try To “Perform” Before The Lord)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Romans 3:25 MSG “God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public—to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
There are Christians who only get conscious of God’s presence when they’re in church. Therefore, they figure that they need to “perform” or “be on their best behaviour,” hoping to please Him with their sanctimonious actions.
Others are so sin-conscious that they’re fixated only on making no mistakes so God wouldn’t punish them. They calculate each footstep, smile sheepishly, and greet everybody around them because they think that’s what righteousness is all about! However, that’s not the righteousness the Lord Jesus brought to us, and you shouldn’t live like that: live genuinely and get rid of all eye service!
Jesus Christ has become your righteousness. Boldly affirm that Christ is your righteousness and walk in the light of His righteousness. It’s like being covered in His glory. You’re not seen; it’s His light and glory that are seen. It’s His power that’s made manifest as you walk in His righteousness. That’s our blessing as new creatures in Christ Jesus. You don’t have to “perform” before God or achieve your own form of righteousness.
Don’t allow sin and the guilt of your mistakes dissipate your zeal for God and faith in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
You’ve become the expression of His righteousness because He manifests His righteousness through you. He took your place of sin and gave you His righteousness. What a glorious reality! Hallelujah!

CREATE WITH THE WORD (God’s Word Is What You Require For A Beautiful Life)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Psalm 119:140 “Your word is very pure; therefore, your servant loves it.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
God’s Word is His creative material, and its power is unlimited. The Word created all things, and it is effective today as ever. His Word to you at any time in your life, regarding any situation, is all you need. Think about what He did for King Solomon. How did God make Solomon the wisest person that ever lived before the Lord Jesus? Just with words!
God showed up in a dream and asked Solomon what he wanted. Solomon asked for wisdom and understanding (1 Kings 3:8-9). God didn’t open Solomon’s brain and stuff it with wisdom. No, He just said to him, “Solomon, you’ve got it! I’ve given you a wise and understanding heart such as none before you ever had, and none after you would ever have” (1 Kings 3:12). The moment Solomon received those words, they became in him what God said, and from then on he became the wisest man that ever lived, until Jesus. Glory to God!
God did the same thing with Abraham. Abraham didn’t have kids because his wife Sarah couldn’t have any, but God said: “Your name is now Abraham, because I have made you a father of many nations” (Genesis 17:5 NIV). From that moment on, Abraham didn’t care about how old he was or how impossible it seemed. He just believed what God said and started calling himself a father, even before he had any kids.
His Word to you is all that matters; that’s your victory. Read Romans 4:19-20; it says, “And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.” That’s how it works: when God says it and you respond by affirming the same thing, His Word becomes real and prevails in your life’s circumstances. Hallelujah!

YOU’RE A KING; REIGN AS ONE! (Control Circumstances With Your Kingly Decrees)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Romans 5:17 “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”
▶️ LET’S TALK
Until the Rapture of the Church, we’re supposed to rule and reign as kings on earth through Jesus Christ. Later, during the millennial reign of Christ, we’re not just going to reign through Him but with Him. And it doesn’t stop there; we’ll also reign with Him in the New Heaven and the New Earth!
The Bible says we are “…priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years” (Revelation 20:6 NIV). 2 Timothy 2:12 NIV says, “If we endure, we will also reign with him….” But that’s all in the future. Right now, we reign through Him in this life! How amazing is that?
You’ve got to walk in this consciousness. Remember what Romans 6:4 says: “Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life” (NASB). This new life is the life of kings. Revelation 5:10 says He’s made us kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
If you’re born again, you’re a whole new person with a kingly mindset and values. See life from that perspective of victory and reigning only. The Amplified Classic version of our opening verse says we shall reign as kings in the realm of life. You’re a king; reign as one! Rule with words because that’s what kings do!
The Bible says, “Where the word of a king is, there is power…” (Ecclesiastes 8:4). Exercise dominion through words. Issue commands to the devil, his cohorts, and the elements of this world, and they’ll hear and obey you because you function in, and with, the dominion of Christ. You can alter the course of events and change circumstances from the privacy of your room.
That’s why you should never be moved by anything. It doesn’t matter what the situation is; you can cause it to align with the will of God through your faith-filled words. Glory to God!

HE IS THE PROPITIATION (Jesus Christ Is Your Mercy Seat)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Romans 3:23-25 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed”
▶️ LET’S TALK
“Oh, my goodness! Jane, what happened to your arms? Why do you have so many cuts and bruises?” Monica screamed.
“I told a lie, and I couldn’t stop feeling guilty about it. And I read somewhere that when you sin, you must be punished for it, even if you have to do it to yourself,” Jane said as she pulled down her sleeves to hide her injuries.
“No, Jane, you didn’t have to do that! Jesus already took all the punishment for everyone, including you. He was bruised, beaten, and sacrificed for your sins, so you don’t need to punish yourself anymore. Please, don’t do this again,” Monica gently corrected.
“Can you tell me more about Jesus?” Jane asked, and Monica went on to share the Gospel with her.
Some people, like Jane, hurt themselves or do other extreme things, in a futile attempt to pay for their sins. If this has been your experience, stop immediately! It’s futile because Jesus paid fully for you. Stop hurting yourself in an attempt to atone for your sins. Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice for us, which means you don’t have to suffer for your mistakes.
The Greek word translated “propitiation” in our opening verse is “hilasterion,” and it means the place of mercy or “Mercy Seat.” In the Old Testament, the Mercy Seat was the covering of the ark of God. He met the High Priest there, and His presence was upon the Mercy Seat. But today, Jesus Christ is God’s place of mercy for us; He’s the Mercy Seat, the medium of expiation.
Jesus was born for this purpose so that God would declare His own righteousness for letting sinners go free. You have, in the Lord Jesus Christ, your permanent Mercy Seat; He offered up Himself as the perfect sacrifice so you would never have to pay for your sins again. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Receive it for yourself, and tell those in your world. Praise God!

MAKE TREMENDOUS POWER AVAILABLE (Prayer Is What Gives Power To Your Words)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
James 5:16 AMPC “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].”
▶️ LET’S TALK
Did you ever try to drive a car or truck without turning the ignition on? If you did, you would have found out that vehicle wasn’t going anywhere unless the engine was started first. The same thing applies when it comes to your words and prayers: before you make public declarations of God’s Word, you’ve got to have a private time of prayer first! Prayer is like the key that turns on the ignition and starts the car engine.
Many Christians speak forth words ever before spending quality time in prayer, and then they wonder why their declarations aren’t effective. Here’s the deal: change comes through your words after you’ve stirred up power in prayer. When you’ve made power available, then you can make proclamations of faith, and the change you desire will be established.
Take Elijah’s story in 1 Kings 17-18 for example. He prayed earnestly, and a drought hit the land for three-anda-half years—not a drop of rain! (James 5:17). When it was time for the rain to return, Elijah prayed again. But it wasn’t just a quick “God, bring the rain” kind of prayer. He prayed hard and long for several hours, maybe even days.
He sent out his servant six times to see if there was a sign as he continued in prayer, expecting an answer. The servant came back the seventh time and said, “I see a small cloud, very small, like the size of a man’s hand, rising out of the sea.” That was all Elijah needed; he knew he had prevailed! He told his servant, “...Quickly then, on your way. Tell Ahab, ‘Saddle up and get down from the mountain before the rain stops you’” (1 Kings 18:44 MSG).
Can you see the pattern? Elijah prayed first, made power available, and then gave the word. That’s the key! After you’ve had your intense prayer session, then you can speak forth “rhema” (God’s Word), and you’ll be able to change things in your life, your family, your city, and even the world, glory to God!

NO SELFISHNESS (Whatever You Do For The Lord, Do It Without Selfish Ambition)
👤 Pastor Chris
📖 TO THE BIBLE
Philippians 2:3 NIV “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.
▶️ LET’S TALK
Have you ever read the story of Elijah’s epic showdown with the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18? Some people might think Elijah was just trying to show off and get attention, but that’s not the case.
Elijah had challenged King Ahab to bring all of Israel and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, plus four hundred prophets of Asherah, to Mount Carmel for a face-off. The plan was to prepare a sacrifice and call on their gods to send down fire. The prophet whose God answered with fire would be the one with the true God.
So, both sides prepped their sacrifices. The prophets of Baal called on their god, screamed, and even cut themselves from sunup to sundown, but nothing happened! Then it was Elijah’s turn. He didn’t just ask for fire, he soaked the whole altar with water first. Then, he called on God, and boom! Fire came down from heaven and consumed everything—sacrifice, water, altar and all! Hallelujah!
Check out what Elijah said in 1 Kings 18:36 NASB: “…O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word.” Elijah wasn’t doing it for fame or to be seen; he was following God’s lead. That whole event wasn’t about him; it was about showing that the God of Israel was the one true God. And because of it, a lot of Israelites ditched their false gods and turned back to the real God.
Elijah’s actions were all about glorifying God, and that’s how it should be for us too. Whatever you do for the Lord should be for His glory and never for your selfambition. It should be for and to His glory. You must learn to follow the Spirit in the Word, by the Word, and through the Word just like Elijah did. As you do, your works and ways will glorify the Lord.
