*DAY 2 EVENING SESSION*

*REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME.*
 ICLC 2016r


Greet 5 people tell them you are glad that you are here

 Hallelujah

Glory to Jesus.

We are in our second day of this cell leaders conference.

Lift your hands and let's pray.

PRAYER
Father we thank you for your love grace and kindness and
for all that you are to us.
Thank you for the power of the Holy spirit that works in us. Thank you for giving us the opportunity and privilege for serving you and ministering to others.
Our hearts and mind are open to receive the word.
We receive it gladly with faith and meekness in the name of our Lord Jesus and everybody said amen.

Hallelujah

Yesterday, I began discussing some very important things with you. The reason for sharing along those lines is because we are cell leaders and soul winners, so we understand the importance of leading others to christ.

But you know there are four important reasons and ideas for ministering like that to soul winners like you.

1. CLARITY: Every soul winner has to have a clarity of the message. You can't preach to others, if you are not clear about the message. There has to be a clarity about the message. You see as someone who leads others to christ, you must understand the message of Christ first for yourself.

How can you bless someone else with something that you don't understand or you haven't been blessed with?

You can only give what you have. A good understanding of the gospel is imperative; that's why I share the word with you, like that of a good picture of what Jesus came to do and who he is.
The meaning and essence of his message.


2. CONVICTIONS: Absolute convictions! You must become fully persuaded of his message. Who is Jesus? What was his message? Did he accomplish it? Was he successful in what he came to do?

Let me give you a simple scripture.

Luke 1:1 KJV

[1] Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

Look at the expression.

Luke 1:2-3 KJV
[2] Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
[3] It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

Luke is writing this.

You should become like Luke.

Now something beautiful about this Theophilus; his name means lover of God.

Historians don't know who this man is but if you are a lover God you might just be Theophilus.

A soul winner must have perfect understanding of the message.

Verse 4
[4] That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Convictions!

I want you to go to the book of Romans 1:16

[16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Not it might be.... or it may be...It is the power of God unto salvation!

There is a note of conviction and persuasion.

Next verse 17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Oh God!
This is so powerful!

The righteousness is not revealed in any religion. It is only revealed in the gospel of Christ.

Many people are fighting to become righteous. A lot of ignorant Christians are still doing this today.

They say "If I could be a more righteous Christian." It will never happen!

 The righteousness of Christ is revealed in the gospel. God has given to you his own righteousness. If you only accept, it it is impacted in your spirit; that is the gospel in a nut shell revealed from faith to faith.

He has given us his own righteousnes, that's why you can't improve on it.

He has qualified you to stand before him unashamed.

He has qualified you to be in his presence and be accepted with him.

It is an amazing reality. This is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:24 KJV
[24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

oh boy! You know the bible is a legal document.

Look at this!

[24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:


Being declared righteous!
Being justified!
Being accquitted (free of the charges)

What redemption simply means is....or the topmost synonyms or construction are

1. Riddance
2. Disencumbrance: That means dis-burdening or unburdening.
3. Payoff


How many of you owe a pledge that isn't complete?

How many of you haven't paid anything at all?

The smartest thing to do is to pay it off.

Don't say before the angel, it is a mistake because God has no pleasures in fools.

Do you want God to pay it off or you want to pay it off.

Once you listen to these things you will never be behind again.

God's plan is to do big things through you.

Once you have done a particular amount. Don't let your faith go down. Keep your faith up.

Some christians when their faith is on and strong they make a pledge and then take it down during difficult times and that weakens their faith even more.

Romans 3:24-27 KJV

[24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
[25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
[26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[27] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

So, faith is a law.

There is a law of faith.

It works like the law of gravity and it works all the time.

How many of you woke up one day and found out the law of gravity failed? And, there was an apology somewhere that God made a mistake last night.

No! it is a law.

Convictions!

1 Corinthians 9:16
[16] For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!



SONG
Praise the Lord of glory...he is the great I am! Praise the Lord of glory....
He's Alpha and omega, beginning and end
His name is wonderful, the prince of peace he is...he is everlasting father for all eternity.

CONTINUATION

1 Corinthians 9
[16] For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
You can only make such a statement when you are fully persuaded and you know that you


3. FULL POSSESSION: As a soul winner you must have full possession. You can't give what you don't have. Having convictions is a theoretical part of it. I may be convinced of something but it is not enough. My convictions are not enough.

John 6:47 KJV
[47] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

The one who believes is a possessor.

The one you more acquainted with is
John 3:16 KJV
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


I wanna explain this.

This is not in conflict with what we just read in John 6:47 KJV

[47] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

It is a law. It is a passage of the law.

If you are not a good lawyer you won't understand this; but if you are a good lawyer this is a very good language.

Let me read it to you carefully.

John 3:16 KJV
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He is telling you on the basis of what he already said.


He gave that the believer should not, but have.


So, it's not a promise. It's telling you the decree of God that the one who believes is separated form perishing.

We have our riddance, we are plucked out of that.

CONFESSION
Every evil is rid off me.

I am plucked out of the group.

 I am separated.

There is a disencumbrance in Christ. This is a legal decree from God.

No debate!

It is handed down that anyone who believes should not perish.

No wonder Romans 8:1-2 KJV
[1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

CONFESSION
I live by the law of life.

I walk by the law of life.

We have passed over to another realm.

So, you must be in possession of this truth. You have eternal life.

For example, he told you John 3:16 then we read it in John 6:47.

Do you believe in Jesus? Yes, then you have everlasting life.

Then you move from believing.

CONFESSION
 I have and I am living the everlasting life now.


That's what the bible says.

It's like what we were reading last night.

Colossians 1:12 KJV.
[12] Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

That means qualified us.

I couldn't qualify by myself but he qualified me.

Next verse 13
[13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Blessed be God!

satan can't rule over us

Demons have no influence in our lives.

Listen, for satan to have any influence you have to give him the permission. He can't do it without your permission and sometimes permission of ignorance.

Some christians say, "It's not easy" they destroy their own lives with their words. Why?

"Such is life," they say it, when bad things happen. They are destroying their own lives. You talk fear and fear will rise like a giant and bind you.

You are a child of God not an ordinary person the forces of darkness have no power or influence over us anymore.


Verse 13
 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Translated!
He has transferred us into the kingdom of his dear son.

His dear Son there means, agape son (love son).

When you were born again you were moved into the kingdom of his dear son. Refuse to see life from the world's perspective.

Don't think like the world and act like the world.

Learn how to think kingdom thinking because there is a way to live.

We don't walk by our senses. The senses were overthrown when we came into Christ.

Romans 8:1

[1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
You have passed from death to life.

You are not gonna face the great white throne judgment. Every one that is born again won't face the white throne judgment because Jesus was judged for us.

But that's for the lower class (babes). These are poetic renderings for babes

When you become a man you put away childish things.

Verse
[2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

What a life!

Now that you are born again
 You are not allowed to walk after the flesh.

Verse 13

[13] For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

We are not to live after the flesh but after the Spirit.

Jesus was condemned in our place. It is a generic expression to say Jesus died for the whole world.

Jesus was judged for us, so when you believe

1. You are accepted; that makes it possible for eternal life to be impacted into your spirit.
Then you have no sin. As a new creature and you can understand why you are justified.
Jesus was delivered on account for our transgressions but raised for our justification.
There is no sin. We are a new person with no past.

2nd Corinthians 5:17
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Old things are past and all things become new are of God.

Verse 18
[18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

All you have to do is accept what he says as the truth to live by.

Once you accept the scales fall off your eyes.

Suddenly you are awakened to the spiritual realm.

No more struggle! We have ceased from struggling in Christ.

There are those who are trying everyday to live to please God. These people are called babes.

Look at the scriptures.
You need to know the bible let it speak for itself.

Once I had a meeting and some older christians were not happy with me. One for the bible study teachers came to the meeting and as I preached I saw him from a distance. I was surprised.
As I expanded the scriptures and gave the call for those who wanted to commit themselves and live right. I couldn't believe why he was standing there. I leaned over and asked him what the matter was. Now,
two weeks before he had preached a message about the flesh. Then he told me the flesh, the flesh.

A lot of people have not accepted the word.

God doesn't want you saying "oh God I am trying." He wants you to believe.

John 6:47 KJV
[47] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.


What is it to believe?

Faith and believing are related. One is a noun and the other a verb

The Greek word for faith is pisti. It a noun.

Believe is pistevo in Greek. You demonstrate your faith. It's a word of action. It is doing your faith. Acting your faith.

When we say we are believers we are doers of the word.

Faith without corresponding actions is dead.

Demonstrate your faith with your actions.

Whatever it is I believe about Jesus is in actions.

I am talking it and walking it.

Still on possessions.

CONFESSION

 Righteousness is mine.
I am a righteous man in Christ Jesus because he has made me righteous.

I am in possession of my justification; that's the meaning of 1 John 1:7
[7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

It means I am walking in consistency with God's righteousness.

Righteousness is a gift from God and I have that gift in the name of Jesus.

The carnal man is walking in the senses.

He prays and says things like "my prayer didn't just go high."
or "oh father I am struggling."

You are in Christ you walk by spirit not by your senses; but if you walk in God's spirit you live, rule and reign as a king.

That's the difference between struggling Christians.

Religious Christians fast to get something.

If you are fasting for God to do something for you...hmmm

How many times did Jesus fast?

With all the fasting you are often very angry. With all the fasting you have abused everybody.

Fasting is good, because it a worship to God. You can fast in worship. Don't be pressed into fasting because there are some things you want from God. that's very selfish.

Didn't he say all things are yours?

Don't live old testament life, live the new testament life.

Those of us who sing this song
we are heirs of the father...We are joint heirs with the son....We are children of the kingdom...We are family...We are one.

Life is cool!

But of your think differently and love religion.You will think it is too easy.

Many Christians have back slided and went in to religion and called it practical Christianity.

They think when they should pray, fast and how many scriptures they should study per day.

They are always unhappy. They can't laugh like you. No they can't! hahahahahah


I have passed that level.
 Hallelujah.

Glorious things are spoken of thee oh city of God.

Hey Jesus.....ohhhh!
"My head.... they start seeing coffin! Seeing people crying!"

Christians don't behave like that! That is for babes and it is carnal.

When you hear that pain!

Burst in tongues! Hallelujah!

When you feel that pain!
.
Don't start crying...say hold on devil! In the name of Jesus!

Some people say it's an attack satan threw an arrow at my back! No!

Let me explain something to you. I have seen Christians who have faced such attack. and if you are on that area of life, you keep facing attacks! It is sad.

Some say, satan is mad because I gave an offering or won a soul.

Oh no!

Many have left church to hide away from satan.

Let me tell you something!

There are different places to live. It depends on where you are living.

It's like in a city some places are always faced with criminal attacks but some other places, it is always safe. But it is the same city!

Where do you live?

In Christianity you live in a safe place and where other Christians complain of is foreign to you.

Colossians 3:1
[1] If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

If it be true that you died with him, buried with him and we're raised with him then....

Next verse

[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Those who set their affections on things on the earth or below are often attacked.

What are you doing down there?


My dad told a story of a cat that caught a bird. What were you doing on the ground?

A bird can fly but not a cat.

Why are you crawling on the ground?

Say brother or sister
Don't look for something down there. Stay up there!


Verse 2-3
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy!

Glory to God!

Hallelujah!

You are dead to the wold
You are dead in the flesh!

Where is your life?

CONFESSION
Say, my life is secured
I am secured in God
My life is hid with Christ in God
Hallelujah

wooooooooooooo!

Glory to God!

Marvellous!

Open your mouth and magnify God!

Hallelujah

My life is hid with Christ in God.

Tongues!

You are secure in Christ!
you are secure in Christ!

A thousand shall fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you!

You are preserved in Christ!

Satan has no authority over you!

Hallelujah!

Glory!

Amen!

I am gonna give you number 4 but not tonight.

Sinach sings
The word is working mightily in me
Overtaking in all directions
Grace and favor is working for me
My increase cannot be stopped
Spreading on everyside!
The Lord is with me
There is no stopping me
to the east, west, North and south...I spread on everyside!
The walls are falling
The gates are opened
Limitations are gone
Ahead....ahead....We go....!

7 Hallelujahs!

God bless you

Recreating your world. Book by pastor Chris

1) RECREATING YOUR WORLD - Oyakhilome lays the foundation to explain why we can change our lives or recreate our worlds. He quotes the scripture Acts1v8 'But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...' As a christian i.e. when you are 'born again' one of the experiences is to receive the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. Oyakhilome states that when the Holy Spirit comes upon/in you, He gives you power. This power is an ability to cause changes. Equipped with this power we have the ability to recreate our world. 2) YOUR CREATIVE ABILITY - Oyakhilome states that the creative ability in us is our imagination. He gives scriptural evidence to show that our imaginative thoughts can manifest in the natural realm. He emphasises the importance of imagining positive desires and brooding over them until they become clear. Our imaginative power signifies what we can see. In the process of recreating our world we must have a definite vision of what we desire our...
