RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL ;

ACCEPT REBUKE AND CORRECTION.

Monday, April 6th,2020;

Pastor Chris

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

Some people grew up in homes where no one could reprimand them for wrong doing; not even their parents. It explains why, even after giving their hearts to Christ, they still find it difficult to accept correction in the house of God. But that isn’t right for a Christian. Read our theme verse again; it says God’s Word is profitable for doctrine, rebuke, correction and instruction in righteousness.

You have to learn to accept correction in the house of God, because that’s one of the ways by which the Holy Spirit, through the Word, helps you develop godly character. Be humble and pay attention to your leaders as they instruct you in the Word. There’re certain things people learnt in their natural lives before coming to Christ; things that aren’t consistent with the Christ-nature. Those things aren’t suddenly put away by salvation. That’s the reason for the renewing of the mind, through meditation on God’s Word. For example, Ephesians 4:31 says, “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.” This was written to people who were already Christians.

It’s important that you yield to the Word to mould your character and give you a new mind-set. Refuse to accept and allow your senses to dominate or control you. Don’t be inflated with pride when someone is talking to you, trying to correct you with the Word of God. Accepting rebuke and correction is humility; it reveals your greatness, because truly great people are very humble.

PRAYER

Precious Father, I thank you for your Word that’s profitable to me for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, and that brings perfection into my life. I’m forever yielded to the lordship of your Word, to mould me in excellence and humility, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: || 2 Timothy 3:16 AMPC Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), ||

|| Hebrews 12:6-11 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. ||

USE GOD’S PRINCIPLES
(Get Trained In The Faith-Life)

👤 Pastor Chris

📖 TO THE BIBLE
1 Timothy 4:8 AMP C “For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come.”

◀️ LET’S TALK
The physical world is governed by principles, and it’s the same way in God’s spiritual Kingdom. To have the principles of God’s Kingdom work for you, you’ve got to learn and apply them. The principle of faith, for instance, is one you must constantly practise to have it operative in your life. Perhaps, when you started learning the Word of faith, you didn’t quite get the kind of results you desired each time you demonstrated your faith. As with other things where we desire perfection, you’ve got to keep training yourself in the faith-life. Keep learning more of God’s Word, and soon you’ll have a more productive faith-life.

You can train your faith to accomplish anything. In the area of your academics, for instance, you can watch yourself grow from one level to another. Imagine if in acting your faith, you said you would pass all your eight papers with flying colours in the first semester of college, but you ended up passing six of them; don’t feel bad. Instead, say “Next time, I’ll get it right.” Then straightaway begin to study and meditate on the Word voraciously, and put your faith to work at every opportunity. That way, you’ll be training your faith to grow and accomplish bigger things.

This is not only applicable to your academics, but to every area of life—your finances, health, relationships etc. You can train your faith with the Word so much that you know, of a truth, that nothing is impossible for you. So keep growing your faith! Feed on the right spiritual materials. Take advantage of every opportunity to practise your faith, and not only will your faith grow rapidly and mightily, it will prevail against all odds and adversities of life.

MAKE THE RIGHT CONFESSIONS .

Sunday, April 5th,2020;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips (Hosea 14:2).

Words are so important. As a matter of fact, words are everything. Every time you speak, you shape your life and future; you chart your course. You’re the product of your words. Therefore, it’s up to you to chart your course for a greater and brighter future, with your words. Don’t talk to promote the problems and difficulties you’re facing; declare your victories. Have the right words in your mouth.

You may have read the inspiring story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:8-36. Even though her son had died, she hurried off to the Prophet Elisha with only one declaration on her lips, “It is well.” She wasn’t screaming for help or complaining; rather, she went to the prophet of God with the right confession, and she got a miracle. She didn’t speak on the basis of her situation; rather, she spoke in agreement with God. The Bible says in Isaiah 3:10 DRB, “Say to the just man (the righteous) that it is well….”

Jesus said in Mark 11:23 that you shall have what you say; the woman said it was well, and her confession produced results. Choose always to make the right confessions. Meditate on the Word to help you form the right mind-set, because before you can talk right, you must first think right. God’s Word renews your mind and produces faith in your heart.

This is why you must constantly fellowship with the Word. Colossians 3:16 says to let the Word dwell in you richly; let it gain the mastery in you, and out of that abundance, you’ll speak (Matthew 12:34). The Word on your lips will prevail and catapult you to higher levels of success, victory and prosperity.

God already ordained your triumphant and victorious life; your role is to respond by affirming the same things in consent (Hebrews 13:5-6). Even now, affirm that you have a great life. Acknowledge and declare that you’re excellent and full of glory, living the life of righteousness, dominion and glory in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I speak wisdom, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world that come to nought, but divine wisdom; it’s heard in my words and seen in my actions. And as I affirm the Word, it prevails and catapults me to a greater and brighter future with higher levels of success, victory and prosperity! Glory to God!

RETURN TO THAT DREAM
(Your Dreams Can Still Happen; Just Don’t Give Up On Them)

👤 Pastor Chris

📖 TO THE BIBLE
Matthew 10:27 NIV “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.””

◀️ LET’S TALK
“I want to be a neurosurgeon. I usually find myself drawn to medical books that talk about the body and its nervous system; the intricacy of the body is a maze I would like to unravel someday,” Timothy said to his cousin, Fabian, with a gleeful look towards the sky.

“That’s a beautiful dream, but you’ve got to attend medical college for that,” Fabian replied.

Timothy, on hearing Fabian’s advice, lost his enthusiasm and replied: “Hmm, I don’t have enough money to start the registration process for any medical program; I’m just so confused.”

His head dropped and he began to walk off in despair, till Fabian called to him, “Hey c’mon, don’t throw in the towel just like that. We’ll talk to the Lord first, and then make some enquiries, ok!”

Later on, Timothy’s dreams of neurology got funded, and he became the first neurosurgeon in his town.

If you thought it’s almost impossible to achieve your dreams, don’t give up. All you need do is to “Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore!” (1 Chronicles 16:11). He knows what to do and how to help you. Remember, Moses answered the call of God at the age of eighty. His old age didn’t truncate his destiny. It was the same with Abraham, who received God’s promise of a child at seventy-five years of age. The Bible says, “…Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…” (Isaiah 40:31). So never give up on your dream!

The energy you require for all that God has destined for you is of the Spirit, and it’s inherent in you: “That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure” (Philippians 2:13 MSG). Rely on this energy from the Lord. It’s not too late to see that dream actualised; just refuse to give up on it.

🔊 Pray
Dear Lord, you’re the strength of my life. I take advantage of your grace and might in fulfilling my destiny in you. I’m continually energised, growing from strength to strength, by your Spirit in my inner man, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOU CAN FREE YOURSELF;

Friday, April 3rd, 2020;

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome;

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you (John 15:3).

There’s a strong connection between bad habits and demonic influence; and frankly, they flow into each other. The human person is a spirit, and so, if he has a habit, it’s a spiritual habit. Habits are formed from repetition of actions. There’re good habits and there’re bad habits. If you practise good actions, they result in good habits; if you practise bad actions, they result in bad habits.

Satan often takes the opportunity of bad habits to manipulate people. However, he can’t force his will upon anyone ordinarily; rather, it’s about man yielding himself to the devil or refusing to do so. If he yields himself to the devil, then the devil takes advantage of him. Most people yield themselves without realizing they’re doing it. Hence, walking in the spirit and the knowledge of the Word is vital to a victorious Christian life.

In our opening scripture, Jesus said, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” This means the Word of God is a cleanser; it purifies you. If you take the Word of God and meditate on it, it’ll rid you of anything that’s unwholesome or unclean. It’ll eradicate the darkness from your life.

Once, I was ministering to a lady, and rebuking the devil from her, and there was a young man standing behind me among those who were watching. When I was done, he got my attention and said, “Pastor, I used to have the same problem that you just dealt with in that lady. I had those same evil spirits in me.” I said, “So what happened?” He said, “Through meditation on God’s Word, they all left me.” That’s the power of God’s Word!

You don’t need to have deliverance services to cast out devils from Christians; teach them the Word. The Christian is superior to Satan; he’s seated with Christ, far above principality and power. So, if you’ve been under some demonic attacks or influence, if you’d consciously meditate on God’s Word, you’ll free yourself. You can say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I break the influence of Satan and evil spirits over my life and my actions and refuse to yield to their sway henceforth!”

CONFESSION

I walk in perfection and excellence, producing works and fruits of righteousness, because I live in the Word. The Word of God has the ascendancy in my life and purifies me through and through—spirit, soul and body. I’m sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life, who causes me to walk in God’s perfect will and in the glory of God. Amen.

|| Galatians 5:1 RSV For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. ||

|| Psalm 119:9 AMPC How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed and keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to it]. ||

Antichrist means two things:

1. Anti-Christ, meaning against Christ
2. Instead of Christ or in place of Christ

Global Day of Prayer Day 3
30 March 2020*

*Pastor Chris Teaching*

We are dealing with the nearness of the coming of the Lord, and it’s important that we understand this. There is a lot of ignorance in the church today about the coming of the Lord. People are not conscious about this. Having doubts about this? You don’t need to look far. As a Christian, it’s important that you prepare yourself for the coming of the Lord. We are very close.

The future of the nations is spoken of in the bible. What is currently happening is not a surprise. It’s important to know what the future holds for whatever country you may be living in. It’s time to take Christianity seriously. What’s happening now is one of the signs of the coming of the Lord.

*1 John 2:18 KJV*
*Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.*

Antichrist means two things:

1. Anti-Christ, meaning against Christ
2. Instead of Christ or in place of Christ

In the writings of John the Apostle, particularly the Book of Revelation, you will begin to see the manifestations of the antichrist. Remember, he is a person. When you study the books of Daniel and Ezekiel, the Word tells us about this man and what he would do. There are various descriptions about him (a horn, etc). The spirit that works with him has been here before. The things he does are not entirely new.

Examples are: the government, economy and religion. Those are the things the antichrist will use to control the world. This is not something new. Think about this: when you look at history, you will see the kind of power people we have voted for have. In the bible, we see that nations will give the antichrist their authority, just like citizens give to someone they vote for to make him or her a president.

Furthermore, we see from scriptures that Satan will give that same antichrist power too. Nations will submit themselves to the antichrist. Have you every thought it would come to a point where streets are clean like they are now? If you go through history, this is something that has been happening over and over again. When such things happened, friends metamorphosed into enemies. Social distancing? Well, it has been there before, it just has a new reason, which is “so you don’t infect others.” There is always a name for enemies.

These things are not new, they are just happening at different levels. There has been a lot of evil and killings before. The difference might be that there were visible people who were responsible before, but now it is an invisible person behind the killing now. Although the killer is invisible, there are various key players now. Thank God we know how to deal with these kind of situations.

We don’t have to be bothered about the antichrist because he cannot show up now. Why not now? Because it’s not his time. Although it’s not his time, Satan would still like to have the antichrist show up now. He would definitely like to see these things happen now. Regardless of his efforts, they will still fail now because it’s not his time.

There are forefronts to what the enemy is planning. Look at what’s happening now. The world has never had an opportunity to bring in negative policies like now. We know how to deal with these kind of issues. When we pray, things happpen.

*Daniel 9:24 KJV*
*Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.*

When is Jesus coming back? At the end of the church age, which is 2000 years. Something to keep in mind: 1 week is 7 years because it has 7 days, and each day (in this case) is 1 year.

*Ezekiel 37:11-14 KJV*
*Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord , when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.*

*Hosea 6:1-2 KJV*
*Come, and let us return unto the Lord : for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord : his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.*

*James 5:7 KJV*
*Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.*

Jesus is coming back after 2 days, which is 2000 years from the day he ascended, and on the 3rd day, with is 3000th year, He is coming to reign on earth, and we will be with Him. So we are within the 2000 years, and we are living at the tail end or last days of the 2000 years.

*2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 KJV*
*Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.*

One of the titles of the antichrist is son of perdition. Now, the antichrist cannot show up now because it’s not his time. The power fire of Christians is just too much.

*1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 KJV*
*Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.*

*1 Corinthians 15:51-56 KJV*
*Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.*

In a twinkling of an eye, we will disappear. That’s how fast it will be. Until we go, there won’t be one world religion, government, etc. Until we leave, the antichrist won’t show up.

*John 16:33 KJV*
*These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.*

He overcame the world for us. No matter what the situation is, when we pray, we prevail over things and make changes.

*1 John 4:1-4 KJV*
*Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.*

No matter what happens in this world, no matter what they plan in this world, the one in us is greater. We are reigning in the earth. We are reigning in the 2000 years that has been given to us *(Romans 5:17).* The only time the antichrist will have power over the Saints of God is when we have left and other Christians have stayed behind. This is the only time the antichrist and the power of the world will dominate Christians. You need to get this right (catch the first flight).

Herald ordered the head of James, and it made the people happy. Now that it pleased, he went for Peter. Guess what?! The church began to pray, and they prayed without ceasing. When Peter was in prison, with the presence of the angel, Peter was released. Doors would just open and his chains fell off. Prayer works.

A lot of Christians suffer because they don’t pray. When we pray, there’s nothing that we can’t do. We ride over whatever plans are put in place. We are not in this world as victims. Power belongs to God. We have the greater one living inside us. Learn to pray. Understand something: the world belongs to us. Have no fear.

*Ephesians 6:10-12 KJV*
*Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.*

When you’re on top, you never worry about who is troubling you. A cat never worries about which rat is causing problems. We are not afraid of the devil and demons of darkness. We have more power than the power that Satan gave the antichrist. We are in charge. No one restricts us. We have the ability to cancel any policy we don’t like.

By the power of the living Christ, we reign over the forces of darkness. We have frustrated the advancement of the forces of darkness. Nothing can restrict the preaching of the gospel. We are the seed of Abraham, therefore, the nations of the world belong to us.

WE ARE IN CHARGE AND ON TOP.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!
God bless you
