PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS WITH THANKSGIVING! WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30TH - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication WITH THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6).

There’re times people pray and make incessant supplications about certain things; maybe about their job, finances, family or health, or something that deeply bothers them, and it seems things aren't changing. The missing link could be that they’re not presenting their requests and supplications with “thanksgiving.”

Read our opening verse again carefully: “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication WITH THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God.” Now, notice that it didn't say, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION ALONE, let your requests be made known unto God.” Rather, it says, “…by prayer, and supplication, WITH THANKSGIVING…!”

This means your prayer and supplication has to be with thanksgiving. When you present your request in that manner, what follows is the peace of God that surpasses all understanding: “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). This is remarkable! The kind of peace that people wonder at, will guard your heart and mind when you present your requests and supplications to the Lord “with thanksgiving.” Those around you won’t understand why you can be so at peace and in control, in spite of oppositions, challenges and contrary winds that may come your way.

Do you have a special request for 2016? Present your requests and supplications to the Lord, with thanksgiving. Don’t beg; don’t complain. Ask, receive, and be full of joy. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word today, and for bringing me into the life of peace and unlimited prosperity in Christ Jesus. I declare that your peace that passes all understanding fills my heart and that of my loved ones today, and tremendously we prosper in all our endeavors, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: || John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. ||

|| John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ||

|| John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. ||

I LAY UP GOLD AS DUST! - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Somebody said, "There’s financial harmattan. Everywhere is just dry". Not me! Dry? Never! Not in my DNA. I am always in surplus! But when do you have the most dust? In time of dryness! Wipe the dust today, come back tomorrow, the dust is back, all over the place. The scripture is saying "In time of dryness, I lay up gold as dust (Job 22:24). Too much money! When their bank accounts are frowning, my own bank accounts are laughing, shouting for joy. Gloryyyyy!!! Remember, everything in life including your bank accounts have intelligence. Let my bank accounts shout for joy, and be glad! Because my bank accounts are favoring God's righteous cause, yea, let my finances say continually , Let the Lord be magnified.... (Psalm 35:27)! Hallelujah!!! Glory to God! It’s time to start laying up gold as dust and it’s time to start funding the Gospel big time. My name is on every naira, every rand, every dollar, every cedis, every euro, and every pound, Just look at them ...

YOU’RE THE BLESSED OF THE LORD – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Notice the construction above; the Apostle Paul wasn’t praying or making entreaties or begging God for spiritual blessings, no! It’s an energetic outburst of luxuriant, profuse, and exuberant worship. He glorifies the Lord who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms. He had the mentality that he was already blessed with all spiritual blessings that exist, and became poetic in praise. This should be your testimony! Be full of praise to God because there’s nothing you don’t have, and there’s nothing you can’t do! You’ve been endowed spiritually with all things, and for all things. Why did Paul use the phrase “spiritual blessings?” It’s because if you have the spiritual blessings, then you have all earthly blessings, because the spiritual gives birth to the physical. The lesser is included in the greater. Thi...
