Pastor Chris on the True Measure of Love for Jesus
During a powerful teaching, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome shared deep insights into what it truly means to love Jesus. His words, filled with simplicity and profound meaning, serve as a clear guide for every believer. According to Pastor Chris, love for Christ is not measured by how much we sing or dance for Him but by our obedience to His commands.
Pastor Chris Explains Love Through Obedience
Pastor Chris emphasized that Jesus’ instruction was simple: “If you love me, keep my commandments.” He did not ask for performances or emotional displays; He asked for action rooted in obedience. Pastor Chris reminded us that love for Christ is not about grand gestures but about faithfully doing what He has asked—particularly in the area of soul-winning.
Winning souls, as he explained, is a clear expression of our love for Jesus. If we truly love Him, we cannot remain silent. We must talk about Him, share His Word, and lead others to the salvation He offers. Pastor Chris encouraged believers not to be ashamed or afraid, no matter the opposition they might face.
The Courage to Stand for Christ
Many times believers face pressure to hide their faith in environments like workplaces or even at home. Some are told not to mention Jesus at the office or risk losing promotions. Others may even be threatened with being thrown out of their homes for openly professing Christ.
He taught that true love is revealed in moments like these. It is easy to love Jesus when there is no opposition. But when speaking His name could cost you something, will you still stand strong? Pastor Chris encouraged every believer to be bold. We are not called to seek the favor of men; we are called to win men for Christ.
Those who truly love Jesus will not be silenced. No human promotion or worldly acceptance should be more important than obedience to Christ. As Pastor Chris declared, we must recognize that our real assignment is not to fit into the world but to win the world to Jesus.
Pastor Chris Teaching on Overcoming Fear
Another powerful point Pastor Chris highlighted was the importance of resisting fear. Satan often uses fear to control and silence believers. Whether it is fear of rejection, fear of losing a job, or fear of confrontation, the devil uses fear to weaken our witness.
Pastor encouraged believers to reject fear completely. He shared that if fear tries to grip your heart, you must speak to yourself and declare: “I refuse to fear.” Taking authority over your emotions and thoughts is vital. Pastor Chris explained that we must be in control of our minds and hearts, refusing panic and choosing faith instead.
In Christ, we have been given power, love, and a sound mind. Pastor Chris reminded everyone that no matter what pressures arise, we must hold our ground. Our identity is not found in the approval of men but in our obedience to God.
Lifestyle of Bold Evangelism
Throughout the teaching, Pastor Chris kept returning to the same powerful truth: if you love Jesus, you will do what He said. Soul-winning is not just for pastors or evangelists; it is for every believer. Sharing the Gospel is the natural outflow of a heart that genuinely loves the Lord.
Pastor Chris urged everyone to become passionate soul-winners. He painted a vivid picture of believers who are so in love with Jesus that nothing can silence them. Whether in the workplace, at home, or in public spaces, we must be ready to speak about Jesus with boldness and joy.
Being a Christian means more than simply attending church. It means living every day with a commitment to making Jesus known. This message is a call to action—a call to let our love be seen in our obedience.
