THEME: YOU CAN HAVE GRACE MANY TIMES MORE

TUESDAY, 24th FEBRUARY, 2026

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc Dsc DD

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18).”

The Bible tells us to grow in grace, to take advantage of the grace that’s in Christ Jesus. Don’t stay in the grace you had last year. It worked then, but there’s more. God wants you to move to new and higher levels of grace. You can have grace many times more. You might ask, “How can I make this happen? The Word of God shows us exactly how.

2 Peter 1:2 says, _*“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.”*_ Notice that it says “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you,” not added but multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. The more you get to know God through the Word, the more His grace in your life multiplies exponentially.

The knowledge of God that multiplies His grace in your life is “epignosis” (Greek). It means full and exact knowledge, knowledge that unites you with its object. Without that intimate, revelation knowledge or “epignosis” of Christ, your grace could be stagnant or only go from little grace to a little more grace. But as you study and meditate on the Word to know the Lord more, the increase is sudden.

That’s when you realize that your abilities have increased. Your influence, prosperity and greatness keep spreading. It’s part of the reasons He tells us to meditate on the Scriptures: _*“Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all”*_ (1 Timothy 4:15).

The Word "appear" is from the Greek “Phaneros”, and it means to spread abroad, to be distinctly known to all. So, when the grace of God is multiplied in your life, apart from the increased capacity or ability to do more, your prosperity, influence, greatness, impact, and the extent of your dominion are far-reaching and unmistakably known to all. Hallelujah!

THEME: CONTINUAL FELLOWSHIP WITH THE SPIRIT

For to be carnally minded is death; butto be spiritually minded is life and peace(Romans 8:6).

Oftentimes, people struggle to have true fellowship with the Holy Spirit because they're constantly living from their minds. They're children of the flesh,occupied with earthly consciousness, filled with worldly considerations, and driven by natural contemplations. Yet,the Bible says, *"...to be carnally minded is death; butto be spiritually minded is life and peace. "*

If there's anything that should be constant about you, it's living in perpetual fellowship with the Holy Spirit,recognising His person, talking with Him, and walking with Him daily. 2 Corinthians 13:14 says, *"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."*

Talk to the Lord always. Don't pray only when you need something; instead, maintain that ongoing communion of love between your spirit and His. That fellowship is what He desires. Keep it alive. 1 Corinthians 1:9 says, *"God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”* Fellowship is communication, communion, a drinking together.

From Genesis to Revelation, we find that God talks. He spoke creation into being. He talked to Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, to Moses, to the prophets, and through His Son,Jesus Christ. Even today, through His Word and the Holy Spirit, He's still talking. So, learn to listen and talk back to Him in true fellowship. That's life in the Spirit. Hallelujah!

THE CHALLENGE OF EXCELLENCE

Sunday, February 15th

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm (Daniel 6:3).

Before I was a teenager, I said to some of my friends, “I’ll never be poor.” They laughed and said, “How dare you say that? Do you know the future?” Then I gave them an answer they probably didn’t expect. I said, "one of the reasons I know I’ll never be poor is that I can shine shoes and I can wash cars too.” Back then, I used to clean my dad’s shoes, and wash his cars, and I was very good at them because I learnt from him.

Even as a child, I added value to myself. I learned skills, developed abilities and was determined to be excellent at whatever I did. And excellence is not just about skill; it’s a mindset. The Bible talks about Daniel, that an excellent spirit was found in him, and the king made him a ruler because of it. Excellence promotes you!

In everything you do, refuse mediocrity. Develop your mind. Broaden your knowledge. Study, read, learn, and grow. Excellence requires diligence and hard work, but it’s worth it. Even the way you dress should reflect the excellence of Christ. You’re royalty. You’re a child of the King; therefore, dress neatly, talk intelligently, and carry yourself with honour. Don’t be late to work or for your appointments. Arrive early, plan your day, and strive to always be ahead.

God doesn’t suddenly make you a king; He trains you first. Every experience in your life is part of that training. You’ve got to win at each level to move higher. If you’re a leader, put more into your leadership. If you teach or lead a cell, study more and make your meetings richer and more impactful. Let people see growth in you. Don’t be the same person you were last year; grow, improve, and advance.

If you’re into sports, be the best. Be so valuable to your team that they’ll do anything to keep you. Excellence makes you indispensable. Be so excellent at what you do that no one can ignore you. That’s the challenge of excellence: becoming the best for the glory of God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the spirit of excellence at work in me. I’m diligent, disciplined and dedicated to improvement. My mind is alert and productive; I’m creative and innovative. I function with wisdom and distinction, and I’m continually adding value to my world. I excel in all I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: AMBASSADORS OF PEACE

And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house_ (Luke 10:5)

From our opening scripture above, we see that our Lord Jesus made us ambassadors of peace and told us exactly how to minister peace. He said, *“When you enter into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.”* He didn’t say to wish it silently or to think it; He said to say it because there’s power in your words. You speak with heaven’s authority.

Then, He said, *“...If the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again”* (Luke 10:6). That means peace is transferable. When you speak peace, you release divine substance—the very peace of Jesus Christ Himself—into that environment. And if it’s not received, it returns to you, full and intact. Glory to God!

When you pray for nations or cities, the Lord has given us the same pattern. Speak peace to them. Say, *“Peace be upon Bulgaria. Peace be upon Nigeria. Peace be upon Ghana. Peace be upon Hungary. Peace be upon Poland. Peace be upon Russia. Peace be upon the United Kingdom. Peace be upon the United States of America.”* Speak peace to the nations of the world. Declare it boldly. You’re an oasis of peace in a troubled world.

Remember what the Lord said in John 14:27, *“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”* Speak as one that has actually been given peace by the Prince of Peace Himself. We’re bearers of His peace that surpasses understanding. And His peace always comes with prosperity, for peace and prosperity are bound together in divine harmony.

Peace also means power over crisis, power over turbulence, and the raging negative circumstances of life. Just as the Master declared peace over the raging tempest when He was sailing with His disciples (Mark 4:39), speak peace over your home, your family, and everything that concerns you, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!

🔊 PRAYER

Dear Father, Thank you for making me an ambassador of peace. I carry the peace of Christ everywhere I go. I speak peace to my nation, to its leaders, and to all people. I declare that peace and prosperity prevail in my home, in my family, and amongst my loved ones, in the mighty Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

THEME: FRUSTRATE SATANIC AGENDAS

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

|t's important that we keep exercising our divine authority to frustrate satanic activities in our world and impede their agendas until their appointed time. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 says, *"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let,until he be taken out of the way."* *"He who now letteth"* is us, the Church.

We're the restraining force against evil in the world today. We're the reason Satan can't help rule this world until after the rapture of the Church. Satan knows this;remember when the Lord Jesus ministered in Jerusalem
and Judea, the demons cried out to Him saying, *"Have you come to destroy us before the time?"* (Matthew 8:29)They challenged Him on the matter of time, on legal grounds.

They knew their destruction was certain but not yet due. They understood times and seasons, and they recognised divine legality. In the same way, we understand the legal authority of the Church in this present age.This present dispensation is the age of the Church, the Body of Christ. We don't run concurrently with the reign of the Antichrist.

Though the spirit of Antichrist is already in the world, it can't dominate or subdue the Church. The Word declares,"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them.." (1 John 4:4). That means the Church has Overcome, overshadowed and subdued the antichrist spirit, all satanic forces, and their agents.So, when you issue decrees and command restraint over evil systems and satanic agendas, do so on the basis of this divine legality. It's perfectly consistent with God's eternal Word and His Word can't be broken.

No demon can resist when you act from the perspective of the Word and divine authority. Rule, reign, and win with this truth every day. Keep Satan and his cohorts in check. Restrain them by exercising your divine authority in Christ.

🔊 PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for granting me the understanding of your Word and the authority to restrain evil in our world. I decree that satanic agendas are frustrated by the power of the Holy Spirit, and righteousness, peace and truth reign in the nations. The influence of darkness is broken, and the Church of Jesus Christ triumphs continually, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
