Every month, believers across the globe eagerly await the Global Communion Service with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, where a new Word of the Month is prophetically declared. This month of October, Pastor Chris announced something powerful, inspirational, and prophetic — “October is the Month of Spreading and Possessing.”
This divine declaration sets the tone for the weeks ahead, guiding millions of Christians around the world to align their faith with God’s purpose for their lives. Drawing from Isaiah 54:2–3, Pastor Chris emphasized that God is calling His people to enlarge their territories, stretch beyond their comfort zones, and possess the nations for His glory.
“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.” (Isaiah 54:2–3 NIV)
This scripture is more than a promise, it is a divine instruction for this season.
Pastor Chris: “As You Spread, You Take Over”
During the service, Pastor Chris spoke with faith and authority, declaring that October is the time for the people of God to step forward boldly. He explained that the Lord has given His children both the power to spread and the authority to possess.
“As you spread, you take over,” Pastor Chris declared. “As you spread, you possess nations. You possess cities.” These words are more than encouragement, they are a spiritual mandate for the Church to expand its influence in every sphere: spiritual, territorial, economic, and societal.
This means that in this season, believers are not to hold back. Just as the verse instructs, we are to “enlarge the place of our tent,” extend beyond what is familiar, and strengthen our stakes. The Spirit of God is empowering His people to rise, build, and occupy the places He has prepared.
Pastor Chris Inspires the Church to Take Territory
Pastor Chris explained that this move of the Spirit will not be limited to individuals, it is a global move. This month, the Body of Christ will see the power of the Holy Ghost working in extraordinary ways to open new doors, create new opportunities, and establish influence in new regions.
This word is particularly meaningful in today’s world. We are living in times when the Gospel must be spread rapidly and effectively, reaching people in every corner of the earth. The Church is not called to shrink back or remain in one place. This is the time to expand ministries, reach new communities, and possess the cities and nations for Jesus Christ.
Pastor Chris has consistently taught on the importance of vision, faith, and expansion. Through platforms such as LoveWorld, Healing Streams Live Healing Services, and the global reach of Rhapsody of Realities, the message of Jesus Christ is transforming lives across continents. This prophetic word amplifies that vision — calling every believer to take an active role in this divine expansion.
A Call to Action for Every Believer
The Word of the Month is not just a beautiful declaration; it is a call to action. October is not the month to remain idle or hesitant. It is a time to speak faith, pray with boldness, and take strategic steps forward in every area of life.
For some, this may mean stepping out to start a new ministry, business, or outreach. For others, it could be expanding their family influence, sowing seeds of the Gospel, or taking bold steps in new territories. God has already provided the power, the Word, and the spiritual license to possess what He has promised.
Pastor Chris reminded believers that this divine movement will be backed by the power of the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of God will enable supernatural growth and miraculous expansion. This is not about human effort alone but about divine empowerment that causes testimonies to abound.
Spreading and Possessing with Faith and Power
This October, let your faith rise. Be intentional about declaring the Word of God over your life, your city, your nation, and your world. Stretch beyond your limitations and believe that God has given you the nations as your inheritance.
The world needs the light of Christ, and God has chosen His people to shine that light and take territories in His name. As Pastor Chris declared, “As you spread, you take over. As you spread, you possess.”
May this month of Spreading and Possessing be marked by miracles, expansion, and divine victories in every area of your life.
