Pastor Chris Explains Why God Is Not ‘Making a Way’
In a recent discussion, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome addressed a widespread belief that “God will make a way where there seems to be no way.” While this statement is often comforting and widely accepted in Christian circles, Pastor Chris provides a more profound understanding that challenges this notion.
Understanding the Misconception
According to him, this teaching is more applicable to those who are new in their faith—spiritual babes who are still growing and learning to trust in God’s provision.
Pastor Chris emphasizes that the concept of God “making a way” was relevant in the Old Testament, as seen in Isaiah 43:16. However, he points out that with the advent of the New Testament, this idea has evolved.
Jesus Christ declared, “I am the way,” signifying that the way has already been established. Jesus is now the path to everything we need—whether it be blessings, healing, or deliverance. There is no longer a need for God to “make a way” because Jesus is the way.
The Role of Believers According to Pastor Chris
Furthermore, Pastor Chris explains that through Jesus, believers have also become “the way.” In the book of Acts, the early church is referred to as “the way,” highlighting the significant transformation that has taken place.
As followers of Christ, we are not only on the way; we embody the way. This profound truth shifts the focus from seeking a way to understanding that we are already walking in it.
Navigating Uncertainty with Pastor Chris’s Guidance
Pastor Chris encourages believers to lean on the Holy Spirit when faced with uncertainty. By praying in the Holy Spirit, our spiritual eyes are opened, and we are guided in the right direction.
He quotes, “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God,” reminding us that we are never lost or without direction because we are in Christ—the way.
Pastor Chris’s Insight on Old vs. New Testament Teachings
Pastor Chris also highlights the importance of interpreting Old Testament teachings through the lens of the New Testament.
If a teaching from the Old Testament does not align with New Testament revelations, it has been superseded. This understanding is crucial for living in the fullness of what God has provided through Christ.
Living in the Way
Pastor Chris’s teaching invites us to shift our perspective from expecting God to “make a way” to recognizing that Jesus has already made the way for us. As believers, we are empowered to walk confidently in this way, guided by the Holy Spirit, and live out the abundant life God has promised. This revelation not only deepens our understanding of scripture but also transforms our approach to challenges and uncertainties in life.
