MAXIMIZE THE TREASURE IN YOU

"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus" (Philemon 1:6).
The Bible says we've been called into fellowship with the Lord Jesus: "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord" (1 Corinthians 1:9). The Greek word translated “fellowship" and "communicate" is "koinonia" which also means oneness, partnership, companionship and communion. It means the drinking or sharing together until you can't tell us apart from Him.
The import of this word is that it reinforces the fact that you're participating in divinity, just as the Apostle Peter says, "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust" (2 Peter 1:4). How the whole world needs to hear it!
The scripture says the communication of your faith becomes effectual (that is, active, operative or functional) as you acknowledge every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus. Did you know there was something good inside you? The Bible says there is! The world wouldn't tell you that. You can only get such information from the Word of God.
The word "acknowledging" as used in the scripture doesn't just mean that you nod your head in approval. It's more than mental accent; it’s the affirmation of truth. It's from the Greek word "epignosis" which by definition means "a specific revelation knowledge that’s void of any assumptions." You've been brought into a special esoteric knowledge belonging only to those who have been initiated by the Holy Spirit. In other words, you've been brought into a full knowledge of the treasures that are in you.
You may have great treasures in you which aren't functional. You can be in a church and not be functional. It's saddening to note that many Christians are in this category today. You don’t have to remain a bench warmer in your church anymore. The Bible is showing you that God wants your participation in the gospel of Jesus Christ to become functional.

He has shown you how to make the great treasure in you functional, and that is by the acknowledging of every good thing in you. This is why you need to spend more time in the Word of God. As you meditate on the Word, the Holy Spirit will bring its reality to light in your life.

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...
