STUDY & INVEST IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE || PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

This video, featuring Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, emphasizes the importance of personal growth, excellence, and dedicated service in the life of a believer. The message is divided into two primary points: 1. Adding Excellence and Studiousness to Life (0:00 - 18:04) Walk by Revelation: Believers are encouraged to live by the Word of God rather than relying solely on human knowledge or worldly distractions (1:12-1:48). Continual Practice: Like professional athletes, Christians must consistently practice their faith. The message highlights the biblical path to spiritual growth: adding virtue to faith, knowledge to virtue, and subsequently temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love (3:15-8:03). Commitment to Study: Pastors and believers are urged to prioritize the Bible over secular media to maintain spiritual focus and avoid being "blind" or "unfruitful" (0:16-0:55, 3:24-4:54). 2. The Principle of Service and Authority (18:05 - 30:55) The Example of David: Drawing from Psalm 89 and 1 Samuel 16, the video explores how David was chosen and anointed by God, yet still underwent a necessary period of service in King Saul's court (18:31-27:26). Obedience and Promotion: The speaker highlights that true authority and promotion in the Kingdom of God are preceded by a proven track record of obedience and service. Just as Jesus was exalted because of His obedience, believers must prove their faithfulness through service before they are entrusted with greater responsibilities (27:26-30:45). The video concludes with an invitation to stay connected to these teachings to grow in wisdom and walk in constant victory. #pastorchrisoyakhilome #pastorchris #pastorchrissermons
