SATAN IS COMPLETELY DEFEATED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc. Dsc. DD.

📖 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire (Ezekiel 28:14).

If anyone were to ask, "Why didn't God destroy Satan from the beginning?" The answer lies in one profound truth: Satan was anointed. The Bible calls him "...the anointed cherub...." And part of what the anointing does is that it protects.

God gave Satan an unction that couldn't be destroyed or undone arbitrarily. God doesn't fight Himself. His gifts and calling are without repentance (Romans 11:29). That's why Satan hasn’t been outrightly destroyed. He had a divine unction that even rebellion didn't immediately cancel. Instead, God set in motion a redemptive plan. He brought in One who was anointed to defeat Satan on legal and spiritual grounds.

Consider the account in Jude 1:9 that says Michael the archangel contended with Satan over the body of Moses. The Bible says Michael didn't bring a railing accusation against Satan, but rather, he said, "...The Lord rebuke thee." That’s because Satan had gained a legal position of authority.

When Adam fell through high treason, he handed over his God-given dominion to Satan. Satan, at that point, gained something higher than being an anointed cherub; he gained Adamic authority, which elevated him to a higher rank than angels. Michael recognized this. Though he was a high-ranking archangel, he understood the legality of Satan's claim. So, he invoked a higher authority: the Lord's Name. And in that Name, we’re superior to Satan and we rule over him.

So, the first reason God didn't destroy Satan was because of the anointing. The second was the authority Satan gained through Adam's fall. But God's plan wasn't thwarted. The Lord Jesus, the second Adam, came, born of the Spirit, anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, and defeated Satan legally, spiritually, and eternally. The most beautiful part is that we did it together, for we were in Him in His death, burial, resurrection, and ultimate victory over Satan, hell and the demons of darkness. Therefore, YOU have completely, permanently and eternally defeated Satan.

Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and depth of your Word. I recognize your justice, your power and your unchanging commitment to righteousness. Thank you for sending the Lord Jesus, the anointed One, for the salvation of mankind, giving us dominion and authority over Satan and his cohorts. I walk in that victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

How have you been?

Good monimg

*Sometimes God will let the odds be against you to show Himself strong on your behalf. It’s all a part of His plan. Although we tend to look at the little we have as not enough, God sees it as more than enough. Using the little we have is the key that unlocks the door to what God has.🙌💕🙏*

The loudest lessons in life often come from the quietest moments.
When you sit with your thoughts, reflect on past mistakes, and embrace your imperfections, you grow.

To fly high you have to let go of things that weigh you down

GOD’S WORD IS GOD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc. Dsc. DD.

📖 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ( John 1:1)

God’s Word is not merely what God says; it is God Himself. The Word of God is God in expression. When you hear God’s Word, you’re hearing God. When you receive His Word, you’re receiving Him. He’s in His Word, just as His Word is in Him.

This is a truth many don’t fully grasp. They think God’s Word is separate from Him, like someone saying something and then walking away from it. But that’s not how it is with God. His Word carries His person. It expresses not just His thoughts but also His power, His presence, His glory, and His life.

How do we know someone’s personality? It’s through their words. Words reveal who a person is. In the same way, God reveals Himself in His Word. His Word transmits divinity. The life of God is in His Word. That’s why when you receive the Word into your heart, you’re not just getting mere information or instruction; you’re receiving God Himself. You’re fellowshipping with the very essence of life.

His Word creates, heals, transforms and delivers. No wonder the Lord Jesus is called the Word made flesh (John 1:14). He said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:3. He is the living Word. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3).

Did you observe that the Word is referred to as “Him” and not “it”? That’s because He’s a person. Any time you hear and receive the Word of God into you, you’re receiving more than doctrine or teaching; you're receiving God. Therefore, honour His Word, because to honour His Word is to honour Him.

🙏 P R A Y E R

Dear Father, I thank you for your life, power and glory that’s in your Word; the same power, presence and glory that I experience because your Word is in me, producing what it talks about. I live by your Word and experience continual transformation, progress and victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

John 1:1-3,14 NIV; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] He was with God in the beginning.
[3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
[14] The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Hebrews 4:12-13; For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
[13] Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

1 Thessalonians 2:13; For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
