Pastor Chris on What Happens to the Spirit of the Dead
Life and death are subjects that touch every family. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome recently shared a teaching that gives a new understanding of what truly happens when the body stops breathing. He explained that man is not only flesh and blood but first a spirit being. The body is given for life on earth, but it is not the real person.
Pastor Chris explains the reality of the human spirit
In his message, Pastor Chris made it clear that death is not the end of a person’s existence. When someone is declared dead, it is only the physical body that ceases to function. The real person, the spirit, steps out of the body and continues to live.
This truth is more than theory. Pastor Chris recounted real testimonies of people who were pronounced dead yet returned to life, sharing what they saw and felt outside their physical bodies.
A testimony of leaving and returning
One remarkable story came from a brother who died in the hospital. He later told Pastor Chris that he was standing beside his bed, fully conscious, while the doctor announced his death to the family. He tried to speak, even to touch the doctor, but his hand went through.
Family members began to weep and pray. He heard every word. Then he felt a sudden pull and entered his body again. Moments later he opened his eyes to the joy of loved ones.
He explained that during those moments outside his body, he felt no pain or fear. He was alive and aware, even though his body was motionless.
Pastor Chris connects the experience with Scripture
Pastor Chris teaches that the Bible supports these testimonies. The apostle Paul described humans as spirit, soul, and body. At death, the spirit simply leaves its earthly house. The body may rest, but the person is not lost.
This understanding gives comfort to believers. It shows that death does not mean disappearance. The person still exists and can even hear the prayers spoken around them. For Pastor Chris, these accounts reveal the depth of the spiritual world described in God’s Word.
Why this matters for families and the church
When a loved one passes away, the pain can be deep and sudden. Yet Pastor Chris reminds the church that the person is not gone. They remain very much alive in the realm of the spirit. This perspective changes how Christians grieve.
Prayer takes on new meaning. Pastor Chris encourages believers to pray with faith even when doctors have declared death. In some cases, as testimonies show, the spirit can be called back to the body. Families have witnessed loved ones restored after prayer, confirming that death is not always final.
Living with hope and spiritual awareness
For the Christ Embassy community, this teaching is both comforting and challenging. It calls for a daily awareness of our spiritual nature. Pastor Chris urges believers to care for their bodies but to focus more on their eternal life in Christ.
He also highlights the importance of being ready, spiritually prepared to meet God. Life on earth is precious, but it is not the whole story. The real person lives on, and that truth brings hope beyond the grave.
A message of faith for today
The words of Pastor Chris are not meant only for moments of loss. They are an invitation to live with courage and expectation every day. The testimonies of those who returned after being pronounced dead show that God’s power is greater than death.
This revelation strengthens the faith of the Christ Embassy family and inspires bold prayers for the sick and dying. It assures every believer that life continues in the spirit and that God’s promises remain sure.
God bless you!
