“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32
This August, as we journey through what Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has declared the ‘Month of Conscious Truth’, the call for every believer is clear: to know, live, and walk in the truth of God’s Word every day. Truth is not just an idea; it is the very reality of God revealed to us in Scripture. Jesus confirmed this in His prayer to the Father: “Thy Word is truth” (John 17:17).
The Word of God is more than a collection of inspiring sayings—it is the ultimate reality that defines who we are in Christ. When we live by that truth, we experience the freedom, victory, and abundant life that God has ordained for His children.
Pastor Chris Talks Truth: God’s Reality for Your Life
In a world where misinformation and half-truths abound, many live under the weight of fear, confusion, and uncertainty. But the Bible reminds us, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). It is not God’s will for His children to be defeated, sick, or weighed down by life’s challenges. The lack of knowledge—of truth—robs many of the fullness of life that Jesus purchased for them.
Truth, as revealed in the Word, tells you that you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37), a chosen generation (1 Peter 2:9), and a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). These are not symbolic phrases—they are God’s description of your reality.
You Are a Special Breed, says Pastor Chris
When the Bible says, “But ye are a chosen generation,” the word “generation” means “breed.” In Christ, you are not ordinary. You are born of God’s incorruptible seed, which means you carry His life and nature. This divine life is immune to sickness, disease, and the corruption of the world.
Jesus Himself declared: “These signs shall follow them that believe… if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them” (Mark 16:17-18). This is not a metaphor—it is a statement of divine fact. God’s life in you means you are sustained by His Spirit, quickened in your body, and equipped for victory.
The Power of Conscious Affirmation
Living in conscious truth requires more than just knowing what the Bible says—it requires declaring it, affirming it, and acting on it daily. Romans 8:11 tells us, “If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you… he shall also quicken your mortal bodies.” This quickening is a real, tangible empowerment that works in you every day when you believe and speak it.
Affirmation is not mere positive thinking—it is speaking the reality of God’s Word into your life. When you say, “The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me,” you align your mind, body, and spirit with the truth that sets you free.
Walking in Dominion
God’s truth doesn’t just set you free; it empowers you to live in dominion. Jesus said, “Behold, I give unto you power… over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19). This means you can rise above fear, sickness, and every work of darkness.
The month of Conscious Truth is a call to stop seeing yourself as a victim of circumstances and start living as a victor in Christ. You are more than your past, more than your challenges, and more than the limitations others may place on you.
