The session for YOOKOS
Launching and unveiling) - (The
Prayer session for names sent in
by people from around the world
to Pastor Chris.)
ALTER CALL: (Salvation call is
made as many throng out in
response to the alter call).
Hallelujah. I want to lead you into
salvation the bible way. The bible
says ‘if thou shall confess with
your mouth the Lord Jesus
believing in your heart that God
had raised him from the dead,
thou shall be saved. And that ’s in
Romans 10:9. And all of you who
are participating outside of here
(through the internet, by satellite,
or in a viewing center or your
church, or a broadcast channel in
your home) who haven ’t
received salvation, I want you to
know that you are a part of this
right now. You would follow
these instructions as the Bible
tells us, and you ’d have faith in
the word of God. So you say
these words and mean them
from the bottom of your heart.
Say: “Oh Lord God, I believe in
Jesus Christ, the Son of the living
God. I believe He died for me. I
believed God raised Him from the
dead. I confess with my mouth
that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life
from tonight. I receive by faith
eternal life into my spirit. I thank
you Lord for saving my soul,
amen ”. Praise the Lord.
That’s what it takes. That’s all it
takes. It’s a faith statement.
Jesus said by your words you
shall be justified and by your
words you shall be condemned.
So you ’ve spoken the right words
and those words have brought
you into justification of life. I
want to pray for you right now:
Father, in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, I pray for everyone
that is out here before you, for
salvation. Thank you, because
according to your word if they
would believe in Jesus Christ, that
you raised Him from the dead
and confess with their mouths
that He is Lord of their lives, then
salvation belongs to them, and
this they have done. So the
salvation is theirs in the name of
Jesus Christ. Satan has no claims
over them anymore; they
belong to Jesus Christ. Thank you
heavenly Father, I bless them
tonight. I bless them with your
word. I bless them with your
presence. I bless them with the
Holy Ghost in the name of the
Lord Jesus. That from tonight
they would walk in the light of
God and have an understanding
of the word of God, in the name
of the Lord Jesus. Amen. Praise
God.
You see, now you’ve received
salvation. You must follow it up.
The next thing is you attend
church services, because in the
church service the word of God is
taught. Then you ’d start
understanding the word of God
like you ’ve never known before.
Even if you had gone to church
all your life, things are going to
change now. And in the church
instructions would be given to
you, you ’d become a member of
the house of God. You see that,
you are no longer just someone
who goes there. You ’re now a
part of the family of God. There
are many things you don ’t
understand because you’re just
beginning, but now your heart is
open. And you ’re going to start
learning about God, learning
things that the spirit of God would
teach you. You ’d be amazed at
how much you’d know in a short
time. It is by the spirit of God, but
you must give yourself to that
opportunity. Praise God. Welcome
to God ’s family. Praise the Lord.
Now can you go to my right and
we ’d conduct you to a place
where we can share a few
thoughts with you. God bless you.
For those of you watching, the
ushers will give instructions as to
where to go, and what to do,
now that you have believed –
now that you have received.
And if you ’re at home watching,
and you prayed this prayer and
the next thing like I said is to
come to church, it ’s very
important, so that you can start
learning the kingdom of God and
how it functions. Praise God.
PROPHETIC SEED
Alright, are you ready, ready,
ready? I told you about a seed
you should give. Ok. Are you
ready for it? I told you during the
IPPC that you ’re to give a special
offering on this special day. So
you get up and locate the
nearest collection box to you.
This is what year? This is 2011
and it is your year as a burning
and a shining light. So the choir is
going to help us and we will
proceed to the box closest to
each of us.
(A choir ministration session while
the offering is going on)
Wow!! From glory to glory!! That
song is a prophecy!! God is taking
me from glory to glory!! I
receive, I receive. I receive, I
receive, that word of prophecy. I
receive.
(Worship continues with the
same song: “from glory to glory,
God is taking us”)
Hallelujah! It’s happening
already! You are going to do
bigger things than you did in
2010!
If you ever found any hindrance
in your way, you say: “Get out of
my way!!” You say: “I’m coming
unhindered in the name of Jesus!
I come by free course, by the
power of the Holy Ghost! I travel
by free course. ” “Nothing stands
in my way. I come with power. I
come with glory. I come with the
unction, with the anointing of the
Holy Spirit. Nothing stands in my
way !”
Did you hear what I said? If it
doesn ’t leave go to it, when you
get there, push it down. It will fall
down flat. If you get there and
you push it and it doesn ’t move,
you climb over it. If you push it
and it doesn ’t move, and you try
to climb it but it gets taller, step
backward shut your eyes and
walk through in the name of
Jesus!! You will go through!!
KARABABA YENDEBOSATA!! We
are coming with power!! We are
coming with glory. We are
coming with the anointing.
Greater is He that is in us than he
that is in the world. Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord, Glory to God.
INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NIGERIAN
POLITY
Now one more thought, in
several countries they ’d be
having elections. And in Nigeria,
the elections would be sometime
this year. Here ’s what I want to
say: we want the country to
move forward, to make progress,
is that right? And we don ’t want
this country to move backward.
So, we have to learn to make
decisions that would propel the
nation forward, are you hearing
me? Now I hear that they are
certain people declaring to run
(for political offices), well I would
let you know. But one thing is
certain, we only want ‘moving
forward’ no moving backward.
We want future references, no
historical references. Futuristic –
ok.
That’s just one part of it, but
make sure you register to vote,
did you hear? The only normal
way to put someone in office or
to make a change that you want
to, whether it ’s in the House of
Rep or in the senate is to vote.
And let me tell you brothers and
sisters, all these years most of
our country didn ’t care about the
representatives and the senators.
All that they were thinking about
was the governorship and
presidential. What they didn ’t
know is that the laws are made
by the representatives and the
senators. The things that affect
you the most are made there. So
now, get concerned about who
the representative is in your
locality; and who the senator is.
Do you realize that you can
compel the representative to
take up matters that affect you?
But if you don ’t care they would
do things you don’t like. And
you’d never know what’s going
on.
So now, we’re going to get
concerned about who the
representatives are, who the
senators – and we’re going to
take them seriously. Agreed? So
you ’re going to tell everybody to
register to vote, because we are
going to use the power of vote
to influence our future. Now in
countries where they use the gun
and the bombs to determine
their future, they ’re wrong. And I
learnt that in our country, some
people have decided to start
using guns and bombs to make
statements – it is wrong. It is
very wrong. Intelligent people
discuss. And we have to insist on
that. We have to insist on
discussion. We have to insist on it.
Those who want to terrorize the
country so that people become
afraid. If we all became afraid
and left the country for you,
nothing would be left for you to
govern, you see that? So it ’s
foolish. Don’t get excited with
your bombs and your guns. It is
stupid. It is stupid. Only fools fight
their own people, how can you
fight your own people, your own
country, and your own citizens?
It ’s crazy as it is cruel; it is foolish,
and unacceptable.
And that is why we must preach
the gospel very quickly, because
we are the only ones that have
the power to change the hearts
of men. Do you understand what
I ’m saying? Listen, when we
preach the gospel, men hand in
their guns. They hand in their
bombs; they do those things.
Several of our pastors and
ministers would tell you, even on
crusade grounds; these are things
that we find there. The only true
power in the world is spiritual. We
can change the hearts of men,
because what they are looking
for is something that no one can
give them. No matter what you
do for them, they’d never be
satisfied. No matter how much
money you give to them. And no
matter how much they terrorize,
they ’d never be satisfied. So of
what use is all that? I tell you,
they ’d soon get tired. When you
grow old, what would you be
doing? You ’d become ‘baba’
terror? Is it? You will soon be
tired. You ’d be tired. It’s foolish.
LET’S HAVE AN INTELLIGENT
COUNTRY, WHERE PEOPLE THINK,
ALRIGHT? AND MAKE THE LIVES
OF OTHERS BETTER. WE
SHOULDN ’T BE TRYING TO SOLVE
BOMBING AND KILLING AND
SHOOTING PROBLEMS IN OUR
COUNTRY. WE SHOULD BE
HELPING OTHER COUNTRIES THAT
ARE HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS. So
if you imported guns into the
county and imported bombs into
the country, or you are making
bombs go and submit them to
the police, and submit them to
the army; so that we can help
other nations. Don ’t use those
things on yourselves.
12 January 2011
2011 MESSAGE PART 2
And what God wanted us to do in
2010 was to begin to study more
of God ’s word understand it,
digest it, and find our place in
that greater light, because there
was much more to come.
Oh it doesn ’t matter what your
experiences might have been in
that year. You might have gone
through certain things, but it was
because you didn ’t know who
you really were. You didn’t know
that you were supposed to be
functioning in the greater light.
You didn ’t know.
And many Christians have been
functioning by the lesser light, so
they live their lives in the night
of life. And in the night of life,
there ’s a lot of problems, in the
night of life there’s a lot of
difficulties. In the night of life
there ’s a lot of hardship. There’s a
lot of confusion in the night of
life, and so things happened that
you don ’t understand. You
wonder why there’s a lot of
wandering in the night of life and
how many Christians all over the
world have found themselves in
the night of their lives.
Because they are functioning in
the lesser truth, they are asking
God for what already belongs to
them, they are tying to get what
they already have. They are
journeying to a place where they
are actually coming from. What a
life, they are functioning in the
lesser light, and therefore live in
the night of their lives. There ’s a
greater light to rule the day, it
rules the day; it functions in the
day. And when you begin to
understand life in the greater
light, you ’d be amazed; you’d be
functioning in the day of your
life. All the things are made
manifest by the light. Then you’d
begin to understand that your
body is just your house where
you dwell and that your body is
not you.
Your spirit takes dominion over
your physical body because your
body belongs to you, it is your
house. You take dominion over it
and then you live a greater life –
praise God. No wonder He says
‘ count it all joy when you go
through diverse tests’, hallelujah.
No matter what happens to you,
he says ‘count it all joy’. Why?
Because you know you are a
victor in this life. Because he says
greater is he that is you, than he
that is in the world. It becomes
your daily confession, no matter
the difficulty, no matter what
challenges, you jus keep saying:
‘ greater is he that is in me than
he that is in the world’, ‘greater is
he that is in me than he that is in
the world ’. It becomes your
consciousness; it becomes your
everyday confession. You ’re not
trying to make it happen; no it is
your life, glory to God. We don ’t
confess those things so that they
would happen. No, we live there.
Our confession establishes our
understanding. We make the
confessions as the declaration of
God ’s word, and it establishes our
understanding of God’s word. It
makes that which we have
understood to stay – then it
works!! Glory to God!! Are you
still in this place?
DON'T SAY ANYMORE: WHAT DOES
THE YEAR HOLD FOR ME
Tell somebody this is 2011. Say it
again; this is 2011. Alright, let me
tell you something, you know
many times when a new year
comes, people are saying I don ’t
know what this year will bring.
You know, they say: “last year
brought a lot of problems I hope
that this year would bring
something good ”. Even amongst
us when we say this year is the
year of the greater light, or we
say this year is the year of
advancement, or this year is the
year of glory, what many think is
that, that means the year is
bringing glory, the year is
bringing the greater light – all of
this kind of things.
No the year doesn’t bring
anything. The year doesn’t bring
anything, because the year, the
new year is not a person. The
year is inanimate, the year
doesn ’t have intelligence - the
year cannot bring something to
you. The year was never made
to bring you anything. So don ’t
say, I don’t know what this year
is going to bring. The year is not
going to bring anything, don ’t
expect the year to bring
something. Don ’t look and say,
oh what does the year have for
me? The year doesn ’t have
anything for you. It is something
that God wants me to tell you.
Are you hearing me? The year
doesn ’t bring anything. He never
made us to have the year
dictate the circumstances of our
lives. The year doesn ’t bring
anything.
And from this year, God is guiding
me to begin to help you to
understand how He really wants
you to think. And this year would
mark a special milestone in your
personal lives, because you ’re
going to begin to journey into
another level. The dyke is being
raised for you. There ’s a new
understanding that the spirit of
God is bringing to you. Hallelujah.
And God wants you to know
what your own responsibility is.
Oh don ’t say what will this year
bring?
Let me give you the thought this
other way. Many times some
people say I ’ve been a Christian
for more than twenty five years;
I don ’t know what Christianity
has done for me.
I ’ve been in the ministry for
twenty five years; I don’t know
what the ministry has done for
me.
I ’ve had the Holy Spirit for
twenty years; I don’t know what
he has done for me. My brothers
and sisters in Christ, Christianity
does not do anything for you.
You don ’t ask what has
Christianity done for me, you ask
what have I done with
Christianity. This Christianity that
you have embraced, that you
have received, what have you
done with it? You don ’t ask what
has the word of God done for
me? Rather, what have you done
with the word of God? What have
you done with Christianity? What
have you done with the Holy
Spirit? What have you done for
the ministry? So in 2011, you'd
begin to answer those questions.
What are you going to do with
2011? Glory!
WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT
Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, ye
are the light of world. That's
because we are the children of
light. Ephesians 5:8. ‘For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now
are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light: ” He says walk as
the children of light. Say “I’m a
child of light”, say it with me. Can
we say what he says? “In 2011,
I’m going to manifest that light.
I’m going to let my light so
shine!” That means it's your
responsibility to let your light so
shine. In 2010 I ’m going to let
my light so shine! Make your
light shine! You ’re the child of
light. Say, “I'm going to let my
light so shine! I am the light of
the world, everywhere I go. ” On
the left hand on the right hand,
everywhere I go I am the light
of the world.
HE WAS A BURNING AND A
SHINING LIGHT
John 5:33-35. “33Ye sent unto
John, and he bare witness unto
the truth.34But I receive not
testimony from man: but these
things I say, that ye might be
saved. 35HE WAS A BURNING
AND A SHINING LIGHT: and ye
were willing for a season to
rejoice in his light. ” Jesus makes
this declaration about John: he
was a burning and a shining light.
In Genesis there were two great
lights; one was a burning and a
shining light, the other only a
reflective light. John was a
burning and a shining light. Can
God say this about you?
Jeremiah 20:9 (King James
Version) – “Then I said, I will not
make mention of him, nor speak
any more in his name. BUT HIS
WORD WAS IN MINE HEART AS A
BURNING FIRE SHUT UP IN MY
BONES, AND I WAS WEARY WITH
FORBEARING, AND I COULD NOT
STAY.”
The word was burning in his heart
even though he wanted to keep
quiet. This year the word would
be as a burning fire. You cannot
keep quiet. This year Lord, I will
be a burning and a shining light. I
told you, God is showing you
something, and you are going to
do something with it.
2011 IS MY YEAR AS A BURNING
AND A SHINING LIGHT
In 2011, I'm going to make my
light so shine. I'm going to be a
burning and a shining light
throughout the year 2011. In
prophetic language the scriptures
said Elijah would come again;
Jesus showed us John was that
other Elijah. Zechariah 10:1 “Ask
ye of the LORD rain in the time of
the latter rain; so the LORD shall
make bright clouds, and give
them showers of rain, to every
one grass in the field. ”
The prophet was thinking about
the power of the spirit when he
says bright clouds. Another
translation calls it thunder bolts
from heaven, and fiery clouds.
Peter and the other apostles also
received it on the day of
Pentecost; the bible says:
tongues of fire, and they
preached the word with boldness
afterward. Jesus said anyone
who believes in him, out of his
innermost being shall pour out
rivers of living waters. Peter was
a burning and a shining light,
while he was talking the Holy
Ghost fell. That is a burning and a
shining light. That is the anointing.
Jeremiah said he wouldn't preach
again but the word was in him as
a burning fire shut up in his
bones. When you pray, say “Lord
I’m going to be a burning and a
shining light in 2011. The word of
God would be as fire shut up in
my bones. I'm going to burn for
God. I ’m going to shine for God. I
am the greater light. I rule the
day and the night. ” God is saying
I want you to know that I love
you, all the glory that I have
reserved they belong to you.
Wow! I'm going walk in the glory
of God 365 days. I'm a child of
the light. This is my year as a
burning and a shining light!
2010 was to begin to study more
of God ’s word understand it,
digest it, and find our place in
that greater light, because there
was much more to come.
Oh it doesn ’t matter what your
experiences might have been in
that year. You might have gone
through certain things, but it was
because you didn ’t know who
you really were. You didn’t know
that you were supposed to be
functioning in the greater light.
You didn ’t know.
And many Christians have been
functioning by the lesser light, so
they live their lives in the night
of life. And in the night of life,
there ’s a lot of problems, in the
night of life there’s a lot of
difficulties. In the night of life
there ’s a lot of hardship. There’s a
lot of confusion in the night of
life, and so things happened that
you don ’t understand. You
wonder why there’s a lot of
wandering in the night of life and
how many Christians all over the
world have found themselves in
the night of their lives.
Because they are functioning in
the lesser truth, they are asking
God for what already belongs to
them, they are tying to get what
they already have. They are
journeying to a place where they
are actually coming from. What a
life, they are functioning in the
lesser light, and therefore live in
the night of their lives. There ’s a
greater light to rule the day, it
rules the day; it functions in the
day. And when you begin to
understand life in the greater

functioning in the day of your
life. All the things are made
manifest by the light. Then you’d
begin to understand that your

Your spirit takes dominion over
your physical body because your

and then you live a greater life –
praise God. No wonder He says
‘ count it all joy when you go

No matter what happens to you,
he says ‘count it all joy’. Why?
Because you know you are a
victor in this life. Because he says
greater is he that is you, than he
that is in the world. It becomes
your daily confession, no matter
the difficulty, no matter what
challenges, you jus keep saying:
‘ greater is he that is in me than
he that is in the world’, ‘greater is
he that is in me than he that is in
the world ’. It becomes your
consciousness; it becomes your
everyday confession. You ’re not
trying to make it happen; no it is
your life, glory to God. We don ’t
confess those things so that they
would happen. No, we live there.
Our confession establishes our
understanding. We make the

God ’s word, and it establishes our
understanding of God’s word. It
makes that which we have

I ’ve had the Holy Spirit for

he has done for me. My brothers
and sisters in Christ, Christianity
does not do anything for you.
You don ’t ask what has
Christianity done for me, you ask
what have I done with
Christianity. This Christianity that
you have embraced, that you
have received, what have you
done with it? You don ’t ask what
has the word of God done for
me? Rather, what have you done
with the word of God? What have
you done with Christianity? What
have you done with the Holy
Spirit? What have you done for
the ministry? So in 2011, you'd
begin to answer those questions.
What are you going to do with
2011? Glory!
WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT
Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, ye
are the light of world. That's
because we are the children of
light. Ephesians 5:8. ‘For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now
are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light: ” He says walk as
the children of light. Say “I’m a
child of light”, say it with me. Can
we say what he says? “In 2011,
I’m going to manifest that light.
I’m going to let my light so
shine!” That means it's your
responsibility to let your light so
shine. In 2010 I ’m going to let
my light so shine! Make your
light shine! You ’re the child of
light. Say, “I'm going to let my
light so shine! I am the light of
the world, everywhere I go. ” On
the left hand on the right hand,
everywhere I go I am the light
of the world.
HE WAS A BURNING AND A
SHINING LIGHT
John 5:33-35. “33Ye sent unto
John, and he bare witness unto

The word was burning in his heart
even though he wanted to keep
quiet. This year the word would
be as a burning fire. You cannot
keep quiet. This year Lord, I will
be a burning and a shining light. I
told you, God is showing you
something, and you are going to
do something with it.
2011 IS MY YEAR AS A BURNING
AND A SHINING LIGHT
In 2011, I'm going to make my
light so shine. I'm going to be a
burning and a shining light
throughout the year 2011. In
prophetic language the scriptures

shining light. That is the anointing.
Jeremiah said he wouldn't preach
again but the word was in him as
a burning fire shut up in his
bones. When you pray, say “Lord
I’m going to be a burning and a
shining light in 2011. The word of
God would be as fire shut up in
my bones. I'm going to burn for
God. I ’m going to shine for God. I
am the greater light. I rule the
day and the night. ” God is saying
I want you to know that I love
you, all the glory that I have
reserved they belong to you.
Wow! I'm going walk in the glory
of God 365 days. I'm a child of
the light. This is my year as a
burning and a shining light!

PASTOR’S OPENING PRAYERS
Father in the name of Jesus, we
thank you for your grace and
kindness. Thank you for 2010
THE YEAR OF THE GREATER LIGHT.
We thank you for the lives that
we have touched around the
world in this year. We also thank
you for the opportunity and the
privilege to walk with you in
building lives all around the world
with your word.
(Reverend Chris Oyakhilome now

TESTIMONY OF 2010
So tell me, how was 2010? I love
you. I can tell that you just feel
like praising the Lord again and
again. At this time I know some
countries are already in 2011 but
we would make the
announcement from here. So
you relax.
2010 was a beautiful year as we
were given the year of the
greater light. For some people, it
may not have been a beautiful
year; but in our lives never allow
the hurtful things that happen to
us to overwhelm us. This life that
God has given us is a life which
we must give account to God for.
Even when you hurt, remember
that there are others who hurt
also, you must be strong enough
or comforted enough to be able
to lift yourself enough to comfort
others who hurt. You can always
be hopeful and you can always
be lively.
Our monthly first Sunday prayer
and fasting programs and
communion services will continue
in the year 2011. That includes
our monthly all night prayer
meetings every last Friday of the
month. So Sunday the 2nd of
January is our first communion
service for the year.

Awards Night)
Oh what a night! When the Holy
Spirit is present and God tells you
thank you – this is the most
important award in the whole
wide world – when the man of
God says thank you for what you
do in the house of God.
IT IS 2011 – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
What would 2011 be like? Well;
happy New Year. Welcome to
2011. My life will bring God glory
in 2011, and it shall be so. This is
2011 right? In 2010 the Lord
spoke to us, and the Lord is very
interested in us. Remember he
says for God so loved the world,
the world of men, not the world
of cars, cities. At the beginning of
2010, we said to you that the
year was the year of the greater
light, and we read from Genesis
1:14-18.
THE GREATER LIGHT
Genesis 1:14-18 (King James
Version) – “14And God said, Let
there be lights in the firmament
of the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for
days, and years: 15And let them
be for lights in the firmament of
the heaven to give light upon
the earth: and it was so. 16And
God made two great lights; THE
GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY,
AND THE LESSER LIGHT TO RULE
THE NIGHT: he made the stars
also. 17And God set them in the
firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and
over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God
saw that it was good.”
I want you to notice the
terminology of scripture. Notice it
says God made two great lights.
He made the greater light to rule
the day, not just to shine in the
day, but to rule the day. And
there was also the lesser light to
rule the night.
Psalm 136:1-9 (King James
Version) “1O give thanks unto
the LORD; for he is good: for his
mercy endureth for ever. 2O
give thanks unto the God of
gods: for his mercy endureth for
ever. 3O give thanks to the Lord
of lords: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 4To him who alone
doeth great wonders: for his
mercy endureth for ever. 5To
him that by wisdom made the
heavens: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 6To him that stretched
out the earth above the waters:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
7To him that made great lights:
for his mercy endureth for ever:
8THE SUN TO RULE BY DAY: for his
mercy endureth for ever: 9THE
MOON AND STARS TO RULE BY
NIGHT: for his mercy endureth for
ever. ”
Now I read that to you just to
introduce to you that those two
great lights spoken about in the
book of Genesis are the sun and
the moon, because in Genesis he
didn ’t say the Sun and the moon,
he just talked about two great
lights. But now we see from
scripture that really the greater
light was called the greater light
was called the sun and the lesser
light the moon. And when we
read in Genesis 1:16, he says the
stars also, so He made the stars
also to function in he night. Now
something very important, about
these two great lights is that one
of them doesn ’t really have light
of itself. The moon doesn’t have
light of itself. The moon shines
from the light of the sun. It gets
its light from the sun, so it reflects
its light from the sun. That means
it really doesn ’t have its own
light, so in a sense the moon is
not a light. But it is a light by the
power of the sun. Isn ’t that
wonderful? I think that’s
remarkable. So who’s really
ruling the day and the night? It’s
the sun. Praise God, now that is a
very important thing, I didn ’t
want you to miss that. So when
we got the message that 2010
was a year of the greater light, it
was significant because it was
ruling the day and the night.
THE GREATER TRUTH
And WE ALSO FOUND OUT WHILE
SHARING THAT THE WORD OF GOD
IS THE GREATER LIGHT. It says:
‘ Thy word is truth”. The word of
God is the greater light; His word
is the greater light. His word is
the real truth, the greater truth. I
told you about different kinds of
lights and different kinds of
truths. And light stands for truth.
You see that? So when we’re
talking about lesser lights and
greater lights, we ’re also talking
about lesser truths and greater
truths. So if the lesser light is
given light by the greater light, it
means the lesser light is ruled by
the greater light, and so lesser
truths are actually governed by
greater truths.
For example when you are born
again and you come to Christ, we
talk about God healing your
body. If you got sick this is the
truth: that God would heal you,
but it is a lesser truth.
When you get healed and testify
that ‘God has healed me’, it is a
truth but it is a lesser truth.
Because there is a greater truth
and that greater truth is that:
‘‘ now are we the sons of God’’.
Are you following this? Now are
we the sons of God – that means
we are the sons of God now, that
the spirit of God lives in us and
has vitalized our mortal bodies.
He said if the spirit of Him that
raised up Christ from the dead
dwells in you, that same spirit
shall also vitalize your mortal
body by His spirit that lives. That
is the greater truth. That means
your body is vitalized by God
and there is no place for sickness.
The greater truth is there shall be
no sickness in the land.
When you come into Christ you
come into a place called Christ,
you come into Zion. You come
into the city of the living God;
you come into the heavenly
Jerusalem that is here now in the
spirit. You are in the kingdom
now. You are an heir of God now,
and he says all things are yours.
You may be asking God for a
good business, you may be
asking God for money, asking
God for a house, asking God for
all kinds of things – those are
lesser truths when God ministers
them to you. Those are lesser
truths when you decree that
you ’re going to have it or you
decree that it’s going to happen.
Those are all lesser truths. There
is a greater truth that declares
that in the now of your life, all
things are yours! Now it takes
spiritual understanding to come
that point in your life where you
function in the greater truth,
where you function by the
greater light. Your prayer life
would change – you’re not going
to be asking ‘oh God make it
possible for me to have this’, ‘oh
God make it possible for me to
do this ’. All those kind of things
would not be in your prayers
when you understand and
function in the greater light.

What would 2011 be like? Well;

of the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for
days, and years: 15And let them
be for lights in the firmament of

the earth: and it was so. 16And
God made two great lights; THE
GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY,
AND THE LESSER LIGHT TO RULE
THE NIGHT: he made the stars
also. 17And God set them in the
firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and
over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God
saw that it was good.”
I want you to notice the
terminology of scripture. Notice it
says God made two great lights.
He made the greater light to rule
the day, not just to shine in the
day, but to rule the day. And
there was also the lesser light to
rule the night.
Psalm 136:1-9 (King James
Version) “1O give thanks unto
the LORD; for he is good: for his
mercy endureth for ever. 2O
give thanks unto the God of
gods: for his mercy endureth for
ever. 3O give thanks to the Lord
of lords: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 4To him who alone
doeth great wonders: for his
mercy endureth for ever. 5To
him that by wisdom made the
heavens: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 6To him that stretched
out the earth above the waters:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
7To him that made great lights:
for his mercy endureth for ever:
8THE SUN TO RULE BY DAY: for his
mercy endureth for ever: 9THE
MOON AND STARS TO RULE BY
NIGHT: for his mercy endureth for
ever. ”
Now I read that to you just to
introduce to you that those two
great lights spoken about in the
book of Genesis are the sun and
the moon, because in Genesis he
didn ’t say the Sun and the moon,
he just talked about two great
lights. But now we see from
scripture that really the greater
light was called the greater light
was called the sun and the lesser
light the moon. And when we
read in Genesis 1:16, he says the
stars also, so He made the stars
also to function in he night. Now
something very important, about
these two great lights is that one
of them doesn ’t really have light
of itself. The moon doesn’t have
light of itself. The moon shines
from the light of the sun. It gets
its light from the sun, so it reflects
its light from the sun. That means
it really doesn ’t have its own
light, so in a sense the moon is
not a light. But it is a light by the
power of the sun. Isn ’t that
wonderful? I think that’s
remarkable. So who’s really
ruling the day and the night? It’s
the sun. Praise God, now that is a
very important thing, I didn ’t
want you to miss that. So when
we got the message that 2010
was a year of the greater light, it
was significant because it was
ruling the day and the night.
THE GREATER TRUTH
And WE ALSO FOUND OUT WHILE
SHARING THAT THE WORD OF GOD
IS THE GREATER LIGHT. It says:
‘ Thy word is truth”. The word of
God is the greater light; His word
is the greater light. His word is
the real truth, the greater truth. I
told you about different kinds of
lights and different kinds of
truths. And light stands for truth.
You see that? So when we’re
talking about lesser lights and
greater lights, we ’re also talking
about lesser truths and greater
truths. So if the lesser light is
given light by the greater light, it
means the lesser light is ruled by
the greater light, and so lesser
truths are actually governed by
greater truths.
For example when you are born
again and you come to Christ, we
talk about God healing your
body. If you got sick this is the
truth: that God would heal you,
but it is a lesser truth.
When you get healed and testify
that ‘God has healed me’, it is a
truth but it is a lesser truth.
Because there is a greater truth
and that greater truth is that:
‘‘ now are we the sons of God’’.
Are you following this? Now are
we the sons of God – that means
we are the sons of God now, that
the spirit of God lives in us and
has vitalized our mortal bodies.
He said if the spirit of Him that
raised up Christ from the dead
dwells in you, that same spirit
shall also vitalize your mortal
body by His spirit that lives. That
is the greater truth. That means
your body is vitalized by God
and there is no place for sickness.
The greater truth is there shall be
no sickness in the land.
When you come into Christ you
come into a place called Christ,
you come into Zion. You come
into the city of the living God;
you come into the heavenly
Jerusalem that is here now in the
spirit. You are in the kingdom
now. You are an heir of God now,
and he says all things are yours.
You may be asking God for a
good business, you may be
asking God for money, asking
God for a house, asking God for
all kinds of things – those are
lesser truths when God ministers
them to you. Those are lesser
truths when you decree that
you ’re going to have it or you
decree that it’s going to happen.
Those are all lesser truths. There
is a greater truth that declares
that in the now of your life, all
things are yours! Now it takes
spiritual understanding to come
that point in your life where you
function in the greater truth,
where you function by the
greater light. Your prayer life
would change – you’re not going
to be asking ‘oh God make it
possible for me to have this’, ‘oh
God make it possible for me to
do this ’. All those kind of things
would not be in your prayers
when you understand and
function in the greater light.
