Rhapsody of Realities 24 February 2019 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – The Fullness of Christ
Topic: The Fullness of Christ
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:22-23).
Our opening Scripture is so powerful, and so revealing. The Church is the fullness of Christ! That means we’re the completion of Christ; He’s the head, and we’re the body, and when you put us together, we’re the Christ in full. We’re the fullness of Him that fills everything. Blessed truth! I wish that all of God’s children would grasp this!
John 1:16 says, “And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” We’ve received of His fullness. No wonder Jesus said in John 5:26, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself” ; He was talking about inherent life. He’s full of life; He’s all of life; all of divinity. God the Father doesn’t have any more life than Jesus has. Then, we read in John 1:16 that we have received of His fullness. He’s full of God, and that fullness has passed unto us, not in trickles, but in it’s entirety. If we had less life than He does, we’d not be the fullness of Him, because the Scripture says, “…the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all .” Each one of us is filled in Him, and with Him. You’re in Him, and He’s in you. This was God’s plan, idea, and dream from the foundation of the world, for us to be the fullness of Christ, and He accomplished it in Christ Jesus, and by sending the Holy Spirit to live in us.
The Church is a supernatural body; and you’re part of that body. You’re full of God, not sickness and disease. You might have been told that you came from a poor family, therefore, you may not really amount to much in life; but that can’t be, because you belong in another family; the family of Christ—the Church! And in Christ, you’re in wealth, splendour, prosperity, and glory. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION I’ve got treasures in me! The glory of God is in me; the life of God is in me; the Word of God is working in me, and I’m the reflection of the Word of God. I’m filled with Christ, and as He is, so am I in this world! My life is a continuous manifestation of Christ and the supernatural! Blessed be God!

POWER COMMUNION SERVICE – 20TH FEBRUARY 2019 ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): ROMANS 4:19-20 MESSAGE TOPIC: THE STRENGTH OF FAITH
SERVICE OBJECTIVE: Understanding what it takes to build strong faith.
Faith is measured by size and also measured by strength.
IN TERMS OF SIZE, THERE IS: a. Little faith (Matt. 6:30; 8:26; 14:31) b. Great faith (Matt. 8:10; 15:28) IN TERMS OF STRENGTH, THERE IS: i. Weak faith (Rom. 4:19; 14:1) ii. Strong faith (Rom. 4:20) The strength of your faith will determine the quality of your victory The strength of your faith affects the size of your results. It is not possible to have great results with little faith or little results with great faith.
RAW MATERIALS TO BUILD THE STRENGTH OF FAITH:
1. The Word of God (Rom. 10:8, 17; Heb. 11:3; John 1:1-5; Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38; Acts 28:3-7) This refers to the written word you read in the Bible You cannot be wordless and be faith-filled.
SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WORD OF GOD AND THE STRENGTH OF FAITH:
i. Jesus Christ was the Word personified so He walked in the realm of faith unquantified (John 1:1-5)
ii. Paul the Apostle, a prolific man of the Word who wrote approximately half of the New Testament, was a man of raw faith (Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38; Acts 28:3-7) There is a realm of faith you will walk in that people looking at you will think you are not normal anymore because the things they do against you will not work. Your conviction can terminate affliction without intercession
2. The Voice of God (Rom. 10:8, 17; Gen. 12:1-5; Ex. 3:1-10; Acts 27:22-26; John 10:27-28)
This refers to the Voice you hear while studying the Word, in meditation and encounters in the dream.
SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE VOICE OF GOD AND THE STRENGTH OF FAITH:
i. Abraham, the father of faith was an expert in hearing God which launched him into the realm of drastic results (Gen. 12:1-5)
ii. Moses’ access to the Voice of God built in him the faith to confront pharaoh and deliver the children of Israel from captivity (Ex. 3:1-10) Inside your spiritual authority is your spiritual receptivity There is something you can hear from God that will turn your chicken heart into an eagle’s heart.
iii. Paul the Apostle’s access to the Voice of God in the midst of the storm gave him the faith for both his survival and the survival of those with him (Acts 27:22-26) To hear the Voice of God is not a luxury; it guarantees that you are not easily wastable.
CAUTION: Be sure that the Voice bears witness with the Word of God and the Spirit of God
3. The Acts of God (Luke 1:34-38; 1Sam. 17:37; Ps. 119:99; Ex. 14:21; Josh. 3:15-16; 1Kings 17:19-21; 2Kings 4:32-35; Mark 5:40-42; Acts 9:40-41)
The testimonies of the acts of God are raw materials for the building of strong faith in God. Meditating and thinking on that acts of God have the capacity of building strong faith
SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ACTS OF GOD AND THE STRENGTH OF FAITH:
i. Joshua’s faith of parting the River Jordan must have been influenced by his observation of the parting of the Red Sea (Ex. 14:21; Josh. 3:15-16)
ii. Elisha’s faith and approach for the raising of the dead must have been inspired by Elijah’s action of raising the dead (1Kings 17:19-21; 2Kings 4:32-35)
iii. Peter’s faith for the raising of the dead must have been influenced by his observation of how Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter (Mark 5:40-42; Acts 9:40-41) The acts of God have reproductive capability The acts of God inflame the faith of men
4. The Love of God (Gal. 5:6; 1Cor. 13:7; Matt. 14:14; 2Kings 4:22-30; Luke 7:2-9) Love is a strengthener and potentiator of faith.
SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE STRENGTH OF FAITH:
i. Jesus Christ was love personified so He became faith exemplified (Matt. 14:14)
ii. The Shunamite woman’s love for her child had a hand in the resurrection of that child (2Kings 4:22-30)
iii. The Roman centurion whose servant was healed by the power of faith through love (Luke 7:2-9) You cannot be love-filled and be faithless; the intensity of your love affects the intensity of your faith Anything you do to build passion and compassion in your heart will build your faith

Too many individual churches took the path of “we don’t want to hurt the entire congregation with this issue” and hid the abuse or dismissed accusations. Satan uses this line of thinking to continue the horrors. Jesus left the ninety-nine to go find the one. Protecting one is the same as protecting the entire church. What can you do? What can your church do? You may not be part of the SBC, but you can be prepared to act.
As U.S. lawmakers continue to debate the best approach to illegal immigration, most Protestant pastors say the solution should be multifaceted. Nashville-based LifeWay Research surveyed 1,000 Protestant pastors on their views on illegal immigration and how the church should view those in the country illegally. 70 percent of pastors say they are in favor of an immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for those who are currently in the country illegally. Seventeen percent disagree and 13 percent are not sure.
Many times the Holy Spirit really does use Scripture to illuminate our sin and to make us deeply uncomfortable. It is, after all, “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16). And “no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful” (Heb. 12:11). Nevertheless, my experience with reading…
Wednesday’s episode of Coronation Street saw schoolgirl Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney), 14, have an abortion without her parent’s knowledge.
A number of viewers took to social media to question if a plot error had been made, believing the youngster would have needed parental consent due to her age.
However, as the As the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) states online, Amy’s story line could play out in real life.
Underage girls can have an abortion in the UK without parental involvement, and that parents have no legal right to be informed or consulted about their child’s abortion.
The BPAS website states: “Although we won’t talk with your parents against your wishes, we will encourage you involve a parent or other trusted adult who can support you through the treatment process.
“We don’t force young people to tell their parents or carers. Our staff will make sure that you are fully aware of what is involved with abortion treatment.”
Crossbench Christian peer, Lord Alton of Liverpool, said: “As a parent myself I can understand why parents around the country have been shocked to learn that their child can be taken away to an abortion clinic for a secret abortion without parents being involved.
“Polling shows a large majority of parents want a law change on this. It’s now time for Parliament to begin steps to introduce a parental notification law that will…
The Christian Institute said in a statement that the Government inspectorate has an “obsession with forcing primary school children to learn about same-sex relationships”.
The criticism comes as the head of Ofsted, Amanda Spielman defended school lessons on same-sex relationships.
Speaking to the BBC, Spielman said the lessons were “about making sure they [children] know just enough to know that some people prefer not to get married to somebody of the opposite sex and that sometimes there are families that have two mummies or two daddies”.
She added: “It’s about making sure that children who do happen to realise that they themselves may not fit a conventional pattern know that they’re not bad or ill.”
Both Christian and Muslim parents have raised concerns that the lessons are not age-appropriate and undermine their religious beliefs that hold marriage is a lifelong union between a male and female.
Colin Hart, director of The Christian Institute, said: “Amanda Spielman’s remarks today are not going to help.
“It’s LGBT issues that we always seem to be hearing about. Parents want Ofsted to ensure the quality of education. They don’t want Ofsted side-tracked into identity politics.
“The fact that same-sex marriage exists is something that can be covered in secondary schools. Not every controversial issue has to be…
The country’s electoral commission cancelled them last week, just as the polls were about to open.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) blamed logistical problems for the delay, denying political pressure.
In a statement titled “Welcome to a New Nigeria”, the council’s spokesman for Africa, Bishop Seun Adeoye said: “A lot of issues have been raised about Nigeria’s general election and the day is here.
“When two or more people contest in an election, only one person will definitely be declared as the winner. This should be the mindset of all politicians.
“[We] therefore urge politicians to accept the outcome of the results of the election in the spirit of sportsmanship. We should not drag the country to unnecessary crisis. War is costly. Nigeria must not go to war.
“We also call on President Muhammad Buhari to build on the legacy built by former President Goodluck Jonathan who we are proud of and who showed a trait of a good Christian by accepting the results of the 2015 presidential election.”
The church’s governing body, the General Synod, voted in favour of a motion on Friday which called for dioceses to focus on reducing their environmental impact.
The Synod voted overwhelmingly for the motion, with 279 supporting it, three opposing and four abstaining.
Enid Barron of the Diocese of London, who put forward the motion, told the Synod: “The church can be a very effective ambassador for climate change.”
The Bishop of Truro, Philip Mounstephen, praised the recent climate protests of schoolchildren, who he said had been “chided” by politicians and “patronised” by political commentators.
He added: “I do not want to chide them or patronise them. I want to say that I am 100 per cent with them.”
The move includes a commitment for every diocese to have an environmental programme which is led by a member of the bishop’s staff.
The Church will also focus on ways to reduce its own C02 usage in order to help meet its target of reducing emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.
Despite receiving overwhelming support, Prudence Daley of the Diocese of Oxford criticised the motion, saying any efforts of the church would be “the tiniest, tiniest drop in the ocean” and no resources should be wasted on the endeavour.
She told the assembly at Church House in central London: “If we all do a little, together we will do a little.”
The church’s annual assembly voted in favour of a proposal which would urge dioceses to include evangelism on housing estates in their plans for the future.
The Bishop of Burnley and head of the estates evangelism task group, Philip North, said the idea was: “To have a loving, serving, worshipping Christian community on every significant social housing estate in the nation.
“To plant back in the estates we have abandoned, to better support our presence in the places where we’re struggling.”
Around one in five of the Church of England’s 12,500 parishes are thought to be “estates parishes”, meaning they have more than 500 social housing units.
But one clergy member warned that such a big undertaking would require working with other partners and services.
Reverend Rosemarie Mallett, who works in a parish in Angell Town, in Brixton, said: “In the estate, the work that I have been able to do with young people has been because of the work in partnership with our school, the school is at the heart of the community.
“If we think we must do this by ourselves, we will struggle.
“We need to find partners in the gospel, and partners in social action.”
On Thursday, the General Synod voted to reverse the 400-year-old rule that all churches must hold a weekly Sunday service.
