WE’RE GOD’S GLADIATORS

You know, it’s one thing to know how to read your Bible, pray every day and go to church when you should, but it’s another thing to live a victorious life. It’s one thing to be militant in your spirit but another thing entirely to understand the battle and be victorious in it. When you say, “The battle is the Lord’s,” there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s the Lord’s battle alright, but He calls you His battle axe and weapons of war (Jeremiah 51:20).
In Jericho, God didn’t command us to stand still. We don’t stand still; the generation that stood still has died. Moses said to that generation, “Hey, stand still and see the salvation of God” (Exodus 14:13) – because they had the slave mentality – but remember, God’s response was an urgent one“Go forward!” Now, this is not the generation with the slave mentality; this new generation has the warrior mentality.
 We’re God’s gladiators, and He continually urges us to go forward and launch the offensive against the enemy. In this new generation, not only are we militant in our spirits, we also never take ‘No’ for an answer or back down for the devil or give anything up to him. When you get to this point you won’t say “The battle is the Lord’s” and fold your hands. You are His battle-axe and weapons of war! He’s carrying out His acts through you.
 You ought to pray with understanding. Now, there’s a difference between praying with understanding and praying with the understanding. Praying with the understanding means praying through your mind in a language that you understand. Praying with understanding, however, means that even though you may not be praying in the language you understand, you understand and are applying the principles of prayer; you know who you are and who God is. You understand that you’re praying as a joint heir with Christ; that means you’re praying with reverence and with faith, through the Word of God. That’s what it means to pray with understanding. Some people pray without understanding, so when they talk to God, He doesn’t hear them and they get no results. You’ve got to manifestly understand who you are and who God is, and that without faith you cannot please Him.
 Without the principles of God’s Word in operation, your prayers are empty, even when you’re praying in other tongues. Pray with your spirit open for God to hear you, and you to hear Him. That’s the fellowship of the Spirit – you’re talking to God and He’s talking to you. It’s not a one-way communication. You’re pouring your heart out to Him and He’s pouring His heart to you. That’s fellowship, and when you fellowship with God this way through His Spirit, you’re filled with wisdom and with the Word of God and you become an effective soldier in the Kingdom of God.

Remember! As a believer you become a fighter. You start talking differently. You start talking about taking cities, nations and the world. You’re totally different now, your life has changed. You have arrived in the place of warfare. Even your intercessory prayers have changed. Now you speak words of power; fire comes out of your mouth and you’re conquering cities and nations for Jesus Christ. Glory to God!

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...
