Monday 23rd, December.
Pastor Chris

The Kingdom of God is a real Kingdom, howbeit, a spiritual one, and being born again, we’re progenies of the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God includes
everything under God’s dominion, both on earth and in Heaven. But there’s also the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the earthly manifestation of the Kingdom of God, set up by Jesus.

So, when Jesus came and said, "The Kingdom of God is at hand" (Matthew 3:2, Mark 1:15), He was referring to the Kingdom of Heaven that He had come to establish or set up in the earth. This is the Kingdom that Jesus began to preach and to make known, something others couldn’t do because they hadn’t entered it themselves—it was promised to them.

But Jesus preached it and then brought us into it through the New Birth. Hallelujah! Colossians 1:12-13 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father… Who hath…translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

So, today, the same Kingdom that Jesus Himself preached is what He’s commissioned us to preach to the
ends of the earth: “And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God…” (Luke 9:2). But one day, very soon, this Kingdom, which is in the spirit realm right now, will manifest in this world and take over this world.

Intensify your efforts and stop at nothing in ensuring the good news of the Kingdom spreads to the ends of the earth; win more souls into the Kingdom. The Lord Jesus, referring to being born again, said in John 3:5, “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”

It’s our responsibility to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom so that every man, woman, boy and girl on the face of the earth might hear, believe and be brought into the Kingdom. Remember the words of the Master in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Blessed be God!

*||PRAYER||*
*|| Dear Father, thank you, because now that I’m born again, your Kingdom is in my heart. I proclaim the glorious news of your saving power to those who’re held bound by the shackles of the adversary, bringing them out of damnation into the glorious liberty of your Kingdom, in Jesus' Name. Amen. ||*

*||FURTHER STUDY||*
*|| Colossians 1:12-13 ||* Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:

*|| Luke 12:32 ||* Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

*|| 1 Corinthians 15:24 ||* Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

*|| Luke 16:16 ||* The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

*UNDERSTAND LOVE FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE*

*PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME*

*SUNDAY, 22ND DECEMBER 2024*

_*And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).*_

I like the fact that at Christmas time many profess love; they say it's a season to love one another. But most only assume to know what love is, whereas they really don't. What most have experienced and understood is tolerance, not love. Tolerance is your ability to bear with others; it's a good thing, but it shouldn't be confused as love. That you tolerate people doesn't mean you love them.

Even the Jews had difficulty understanding love. The Jewish mind was complex, and one of the ways God could get their attention was to give them the golden rule: _*"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: l am the LORD"*_ (Leviticus 19:18). He said to them, "Love your neighbour as yourself." But how could a man love his neighbour as himself when even he isn't conscious of loving himself?

This wasn't God's best delineation of love, but He had to work with them from the "outside." So, He said to them, "Do unto others as you want them to do to you" (Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31). After a while, they began to abuse this. A man could take another's wife and say, "l don't mind if you do the same to me. Take my rude wife."

But when Jesus came, He manifested God's love in a way that was different. He said, _*"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"*_ (John 15:13). He showed them love from God's perspective, and not only did He preach this love, He proved it. You can't show or manifest true love if you don't know Jesus.

When you hear someone say, "l can't please you and displease myself," such a person is quoting from the Old Testament. But Jesus says no; it's not about pleasing yourself; it's about laying down your life for others. It's about making others happy even at the expense of your own feelings. There's no greater love than this. Your understanding of this will completely change your life and your commitment to Jesus Christ, and to those for whom He died.

*CONFESSION*
*By the Spirit, I have an understanding of the dimensions of God's love. I'm filled with the love of Christ, which surpasses all knowledge. I love others as Christ has loved me; my actions are motivated by genuine love, and I serve others with joy and compassion, following the example of the Lord Jesus. Hallelujah!*

*FURTHER STUDY:*
*||* *1 John 4:7-10* Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. *||*

*||* *Romans 12:10* [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; *||*

*||* *1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NIV* Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. *||*

The Word Daily Devotion
(Global Evangelical Church)

ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
(Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:27-33)
🗓 Monday, December 16

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV).

One great commitment that we should make as believers is to glorify God in all we do. In today’s base text, Paul counsels us: “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” To glorify God means to offer great honour, praise and thanks to God. When we do things that show that God is at work in and through us, it results in praise and thanksgiving to God; he is greatly honoured. Loving others glorifies God. Forgiving offenders glorifies God. Faithfulness and honesty glorify God. Helping the needy also brings thanksgiving and praise to God. This is what Paul meant when he wrote to the Corinthian believers concerning giving to God’s people who were in need: “This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God … others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ …” (2 Corinthians 9:12-13). Our good deeds show forth the love of God and people cannot help but glorify God. That is why our Lord Jesus urges his followers: “… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Whatever you do, do it all for God’s glory.

Key Lesson: Godly people seek to glorify God in all they do.
Meditation and Prayer: Lord, be glorified in my life and ministry.
Further Reading: Matthew 5:13-16; Philippians 1:18-21.
The Bible in One Year: Hebrews 1-4.

*JESUS WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU*

*PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME*

*MONDAY, 2ND DECEMBER 2024*

_*You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! (Psalm 139:16-17 NLT).*_

Some people are afraid to allow the Lord Jesus have His way in their lives. They think He'll change their dream; that dream they've so nursed all their lives; that picture they've painted for themselves. They feel He might lead them to become something they don't want, so they become apprehensive.

Well, the only people that think this way are those who don't know who Jesus is. And because they don't know Him, they can't trust Him. If you ever get to know who He is, you'd learn to trust Him. Think about it: all He ever wants is the best for you. Therefore, you can trust Him with your life. He's interested in everything about you. He loves you more than you love yourself. He has a plan for you, and that plan is to make you successful and joyful all the time.

He said in Jeremiah 29:11 NIV, _*"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."*_ No one else has this kind of plan for you. It also brings to mind His endearing words in 3 John 1:2, _*"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."*_ Think about that!

It's the reason He gave you His life, His righteousness, His glory, and His Name; so you can live transcendently above Satan, sin, sickness, disease, infirmities and death. Glory to His Name forever!

*PRAYER*
*Righteous Father, thank you for your unwavering love and perfect plans for my life. I trust you completely, knowing that your plans are to prosper me, give me hope, and secure my future. I choose to follow your guidance, confident that l'll always live a life of joy and fulfilment, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*
*||* *Jeremiah 29:11* For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. *||*

*||* *3 John 1:2* Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. *||*
