At Your LoveWorld Special Season 11, Phase 4, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome declared that “All the nations belong to Jesus.” We are affirming one of the greatest truths of the Gospel, that every nation, tribe, and tongue has been purchased by the blood of Christ. This powerful revelation, echoed in the teachings of Pastor Chris, reminds us that the destiny of nations is not in the hands of politicians, empires, or global systems, but in the hands of Jesus Christ Himself.
Pastor Chris: Purchased by His Blood — The Nations Are His Inheritance
At the heart of this divine truth is redemption. Jesus bought the entire world at the price of His own blood. The nations of the earth are not for sale, and they are not given to any man or group seeking control or dominance. They belong to Christ alone.
As Pastor Chris often teaches, everything that exists in this world now comes under the dominion of Christ through His finished work. “Everything belongs to us in Christ,” he once said, emphasizing the believer’s inheritance and authority in Him. This means that as God’s children, we are partakers in that same inheritance. We have a spiritual responsibility to declare God’s will and righteousness over our nations.
Pastor Chris and the Global Mandate of the Gospel
If the nations belong to Jesus, then His Church has been commissioned to go forth and proclaim it. Jesus said, “As my Father has sent me, so send I you.” That divine commission has become the heartbeat of Pastor Chris’s ministry — reaching nations with the gospel through teaching, healing, and inspiration.
Through initiatives like the Healing Streams Live Healing Services, LoveWorld networks, and the Global Day of Prayer, Pastor Chris continues to exercise spiritual authority over nations, speaking life, peace, and restoration into the world. He often declares that “the churches of Christ will never be destroyed.” This echoes Matthew 16:18 — that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church.
Pastor Chris also teaches that when believers pray and proclaim the Word, they are not engaging in wishful thinking but in spiritual legislation. By our declarations, we enforce the will of God in the nations.
The Stone Rejected — God’s Unstoppable Kingdom
The message also reminds us of the prophecy about the “stone that the builders rejected” becoming the cornerstone. Pastor Chris frequently draws on this imagery to show that no power or agenda can stand against the purposes of God. “Whoever falls upon this stone shall be broken,” Jesus said, “and on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.”
This means that Christ’s dominion is absolute. His Kingdom cannot be shaken, and His Church will continue to advance regardless of opposition. The same God who raised Jesus from the dead is at work in believers today — ensuring that the Gospel will reach every nation and that the name of Jesus will be glorified in all the earth.
Declaring Peace, Progress, and Righteousness
As Pastor Chris so often urges, believers must take their place as ambassadors of Christ. We are called to shape the destiny of nations through prayer and prophetic words.
Here are a few ways to act on this truth:
-
Refuse to speak fear or despair. Instead, declare peace, progress, and righteousness.
-
Pray for your leaders and nation. Prayer changes the spiritual climate.
-
Speak God’s Word boldly. Every declaration of faith pushes darkness back.
-
Partner with God’s vision. Support the spread of the gospel to every nation.
Pastor Chris has often said that “words are spiritual tools.” When you speak faith-filled words over your nation, you align it with God’s plan. You become a vessel through whom His kingdom influence flows.
The Nations Belong to Jesus
The nations do not belong to men, governments, or ideologies, they belong to Jesus Christ. He is the rightful King over all the earth, and we, His Church, have been sent to make that truth known.
Let us, therefore, speak boldly and act fearlessly, proclaiming over our lands and the world:
All the nations belong to Jesus!
