Night Of Bliss: The word of Faith Unleashed

Tokunbo Emmanuel

Divinity has visited UK and there was an outpouring of the spirit according to the word of God. Europe was the first to receive the gospel of Christ, they submitted themselves, obeyed the call and like an army would react to instructions, and they took the gospel unto the people of the earth. But today it is the turn of Europe to receive the gospel they once gallantly fought to propagate.

The Excel center London ,venue of the Night of Bliss UK was filled to overflowing Friday , the 27th day of June , 2008, with hungry souls seeking the bread of life, the thirsty seeking eternal fulfillment and people yearning for the full load and refreshing of the Spirit.

Unleashing uncommon revelation at the Night of Bliss UK, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome took the capacity filled Excel centre on an expository trip of the word of God whilst illuminating hitherto hidden mysteries of the scriptures.

Pastor Chris opened the night by describing the bible as the tool of life and a necessity for every born again Christian, capable of transforming lives.

Elucidating on his first line of thought for the night, the man of God defined “thoughts� as pictures of the mind that have constructive or destructive possibilities and can affect emotions. He painted thoughts as so powerful that it could hold one in bondage or liberty, and posits that, thoughts that come into the mind must be filtered.

citing Abraham, Pastor Chris said that the father of faith did not realize the magnitude of God’s plan for him at first, until God showed him the stars, told him that his children will be as much as the stars in the sky and changed his name from Abram to Abraham, only then could he begin to imagine what God had in store for him.

The teaching Priest of our time quoted copiously from the bible to support his exposition. Pastor Chris admonished all to always see with the mind of the spirit, saying “ until you change a man’s thinking, you can never change his life � . clarifying the issue further, He said God has given us a mind to see, we must use it, for every good thing ever invented is a product of man’s mind and so the power of thoughts should never be undermined.

Christians must also mount guard over their minds to ensure that only good thoughts are allowed in and accepted, for the bible says ; “as a man thinketh in his heart , so is he�. He admonished “Don’t allow negative thoughts invade your hearts�.

Citing malaria as an example, pastor Chris said once upon a time, malaria was a serious cause for concern because it had no cure but as soon as a cure was found, it was no longer a threat since a cure has been found to combat this challenge.

He said Goliath was a big threat to the Israelites but David became the solution. David could only face Goliath because he was confident that God was behind him and so, he was not moved but emboldened with faith in God.

Quoting the bible, pastor called faith “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen�. he urged Christians not to struggle with their faith but to train and refine it. Speaking on the audacity of faith, he called it ‘the title deed’, ‘ proof of already having something’. Pastor Chris insited that “if it didn’t work, its not faith�.

Separating faith from belief, our man of God said ‘faith’ means already; you have possessed it while ‘belief’ means you receive it. Pastor Chris sad that the faith of the woman with the issue of blood should be the faith of everyone, saying with certainty that what we desire is already manifested in actuality.

At this point Pastor Chris queried “when one receives a miracle, how is the healing is established? How does one have the Conviction that one is free from the infirmity? It is through personal acceptance and endorsement?

Introspectively, Pastor Chris said “When you come into the awareness by the spirit that you are healed, you’ve accepted and endorsed your healing� The man of God continued “nothing, no one, can take it away from you�. Cautioning that “Testimony of your healing must not depart from your mouth; it will ensure wholeness�.

“Wholeness is a necessity, it should not be confused with healing� he buttressed. Pastor Chris explained that the fact that healing is the curing of a sickness or disease, it doesn’t mean the person is whole.

Quoting the book of Luke 17: 12-14, where Jesus asked the ten lepers to go show themselves to the priests and were cleansed but only one leper came back to give thanks and Jesus said to him, “thy faith has made thee whole�. This meant that by the word of his testimony, he was made whole.

Pastor Chris recalled the incidence that happened at the camp meeting in 1989, God showed his awesomeness at the camp ground; smoke came out of the ground and a young man who saw the smoke received instant healing!

Speaking mysteries and prophesying uncommon words upon Europe and England, Pastor Chris declared “walk in victory, walk in strength�. Saying ‘you have the freedom , the ability, harvest of miracles is being manifested at the present hour and it’s not till the meeting took place or the crusade but where you are, there He is, He has put a word in your mouth, words of faith, truth, and you shall speak boldly for the whole world to hear’.

Ministers who were present at the Excel center were not left out and received a special dose of the anointing from the man of God, who prayed for them and blessed them.

The visit of The benevolent priest of our time, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, to London will resonate across Europe , leaving its footprints on the sand of time.
