RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

Reigning By Grace

Friday, January 16th .
-Pastor Chris

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by
one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall
reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

While there’re many Christians today who are
reigning in life and enjoying their glorious
heritage in Christ, there’re still those who’re
whining, crying, pleading and begging God for
everything; toiling and failing, and this ought
not to be. As seen in our opening verse, we’re
not called to reign by our strength, but by grace
through Jesus Christ; we’re sufficient in His
sufficiency (2 Corinthians 3:5 AMP). Halleluiah!
Refuse to live as a victim in life; you’re called to
reign. The word “reign” in our opening verse
actually means “to king.” The Greek construction
is accurately rendered thus: “…they which
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall king in life, by one, Jesus
Christ.” You’re supposed to be “kinging” in life.
This is what some of us have found out; we’ve
received abundance of grace, and the gift of
righteousness, and as a result, we’re “kinging” in
life; we’re living the life of dominion.
Sadly, some people look at us and think we
must be doing something strange or wrong for
our lives to be so glorious; but how could
something wrong produce something so
excellent? We’ve only taken advantage of the
superabundant grace that’s available in Christ
Jesus.
We’ve all been given grace in abundance: the
grace of God that brings salvation—wholeness,
preservation, health, peace, deliverance, safety,
security, prosperity—and all the blessings in
Christ Jesus, has appeared unto all men (Titus
2:11). However, the question is, “Have you
received that grace?” It’s those who have
“received abundance of grace” that'll reign in
life.
This informs why the Apostle Paul charged
Timothy to take advantage of the grace of God
that’s in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:1). Become
grace-conscious. Grace is the overflowing of
God’s ability at work in your life; it's the glory
of God working in your spirit. The grace of God
in your life brought about eternal life,
righteousness, and oneness with the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says, “…he giveth more grace…” (James
4:6); meaning that there’s grace for everything
and anything; whatever God has called you to
do, there’s more than enough grace for it.
Therefore, live in, and by, the “grace advantage.”

CONFESSION:
I thank you blessed Lord, for your grace that’s
at work in my spirit. Your grace has brought me
eternal life, righteousness, and oneness with
your Spirit. I take advantage of this grace and
live victoriously today and always! Nothing is
impossible with me, because my life is the story
and testimony of your grace. Blessed be God!

Further Study:
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore
come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in
time of need. ;
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore
he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth
grace unto the humble.

“WORTHY OF HIM...AND FRUITFUL IN EVERY GOOD WORK”

THURSDAY, 15TH JANUARY.
-Pastor Chris

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians
1:9-10).

This is so powerful. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to pray this prayer for the
Colossian Church. Notice the purpose of this beautiful, Spirit-inspired prayer: “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Col. 1:10).
This is God’s desire: He wants you to walk worthy of Him, pleasing Him in all things. That
means when people see you, or are listening to you, they’ll testify of His goodness, because you’ve become the expression and testimony of
His grace, greatness and love; the expression of His beauty. The Lord Jesus said something that buttresses this in John 15:5; He said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches....” We’re His extension, His beauty, and His glory.
The glory of a tree is in its branches. So if Jesus says He’s the vine and we’re the branches, He’s therefore saying His glory is seen in, and borne by, us. So everywhere you go, you’re showing forth His glory, pleasing Him in all things, and
fruitful in every good work. It doesn’t matter what’s been assigned to you to do; you can be productive, effective and fruitful in that assignment. It’s part of our heritage in Christ.
When we get involved in anything, it comes out right; growth, increase, progress and prosperity sets in. If that thing was a wilderness before we came, it becomes a “fruitful field,” and the fruitful field becomes a “forest.” Halleluiah!
You’re not ordinary; when you arrive in a place, Christ has arrived! That’s the reason you can be fruitful in every good work. When you’re given a
responsibility, or an official assignment, don’t say, “I don’t understand why I’m being asked to do this”; no! Don’t think or talk that way!
Rather, see yourself as the right candidate for the job, and go ahead to make it a success.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for I’m your extension, your beauty and your glory. I will walk worthy of you always, pleasing you in all things, and
fruitful in every good work, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Isaiah 32:15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
John 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it
abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the
branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Spiritual Understanding Through The Word.

Wed. January 14th, 2015
-Pastor Chris

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9).

There's such a thing as spiritual understanding; but sadly, many lack this important spiritual virtue. Many actually function in human, worldly, or carnal understanding. When you talk with such people, you can understand why they reason differently; they only think from the world’s perspective, because they lack spiritual understanding. Spiritual understanding comes by the Holy Spirit, and is granted you through the Word.
In our opening scripture, the word “understanding” is translated from the Greek “Sunesis.” It’s an interpretation; a way of thinking; a mentality. So, the Apostle Paul, in that verse, was dealing with a certain kind of understanding—a revelatory understanding—which the Word of God gives us! This is why you need to stay in God’s Word, studying, learning, and making sure you understand it! This will give you the personality that God wants you to have. It’ll make you spiritually sagacious, insightful, discerning and wise.
Another beautiful part of this is that God isn’t just raising us for this world; all that He’s doing in us—His programming in us through the Word—is for the ages to come. So, if you don't have spiritual understanding, insight into the realities of the Kingdom while you're still in the earth, how are you going to function in the world to come? Therefore, it's important you study the Scriptures with excitement; have a voracious appetite for the Word. Some people may be baffled, wondering why you’re so sold-out to the Word; let them know it's because God’s Word is everything.
With the Word in you, it doesn't matter what you desire in this world; you can get it! God's ultimate desire isn’t to give you a house, a car, a job, or money; what He wants is His Word in your spirit, because with that, you can get or create anything.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit who grants me spiritual insight, and sets me on the right course in life. I walk in righteousness and dominion, having insight into mysteries and secrets of your Kingdom; and I live above the distracting influences of the world, because I live in your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. ;

Privileged By His Grace .

Tuesday, January 13th , 2015
-Pastor Chris

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Corinthians 1:9).
Isn’t it amazing that you’re called of God, and are given extraordinary participation in His Gospel programme? It's such a high and noble calling. None of us “qualified” to be a part of it, except that Christ Jesus gave us the grace and accepted us: “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved” (Ephesians 1:6). How wonderful this is! It's something you ought to be eternally grateful for, because no one has the personal qualification to do anything in the Kingdom of God; it’s a glorious privilege to be called into fellowship with Him, and also carry out the ministry of reconciliation.
Remember that God is so great; He’s beyond our imagination; on our own, we couldn't even approach Him. Think about this: the Jewish Rabbis who copied the Scriptures, had to wash or bath whenever they got to the Name of God, as a purification routine, before proceeding to write the Name. Each time they needed to write His Name, they repeated the same cleansing ritual, because they highly regarded His holiness.
But you know, it doesn’t matter how many times you deep yourself in water; that's not what cleanses you. That’s why Jesus came to give us a new life, because it makes no difference how many drums of water you wash yourself with, it’ll never wash your spirit. And we didn’t need a washing of our spirit; we needed a washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost (Titus 3:5). That’s what Jesus accomplished for us.
Therefore, be grateful to God, for giving you responsibilities in His Kingdom; you’re privileged to be His partner in soul-winning, to be a part of His agenda in the earth. Therefore, put your best into whatever He’s called you to do. Put your best into serving Him. Serve Him with your spirit and function in love. Let love become your language, your message, way of life, and daily expression.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for counting me faithful putting me into the ministry. With my heart, I serve you diligently and faithfully, and daily express your love and undying affection to the hurting, bringing them into the fountain of your love, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
*Ephesians 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. ;
*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Synchronize Your Believing With Your Confession.

Monday, January 12th, 2015
-Pastor Chris

…For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10).
“I believe what the Word says about my healing, prosperity, and victories; but I'm not experiencing them in my life. Oh God, why?” While this very statement rages in the minds of many, yet, the opening scripture gives a clear and unambiguous answer. Recall what we studied a couple of days ago: Making your tongue your own tree of life. Your “tongue-work,” which is your response to the Word, is so important.
Understand this: believing makes you right with God, and that’s wonderful, but that's not enough; you have to make confessions of that which you’ve believed. With your heart, you believe what God has said, but with your mouth you repeat, reiterate, re-echo what He has said; that’s what catapults you into the realms of what you have believed. Thus, to be saved, you don't stop at believing God raised Jesus from the dead; no! You have to confess the Lordship of Jesus over your life.
Your believing and your talking must come together; otherwise, you might think the reason things are working out right for others is because they’re more specially gifted than you are; but no! They've only learnt, and are applying, the principle of synchronizing their believing with their confessions. Act on the Word; make bold declarations about yourself on the basis of what God has said concerning you in His Word: “He has said, that you may boldly say…” (Hebrews 13:5-6). If you believe what He has said, say the same thing with your mouth.
For example, 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Believe it, but don't stop there. Say the same thing because you agree with Him. Until you make that confession, and allow that truth take a hold of your spirit, you'll not walk in the realms of what you’ve believed; the vital experience of righteousness will elude you. So, in faith, you must synchronize your believing with your confessions.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word and for showing me by your Spirit, the quality of life that you’ve called me to live. I believe in the finished works of Christ, and through my faith-filled confessions, I’m walking in the vital reality of my heritage in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Make Your Tongue Your Tree Of Life.

Saturday, January 10th.
-Pastor Chris

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit (Proverbs 15:4).

Using your mouth rightly is a vital key that unlocks the blessings of salvation in your life! Stressing the importance of this, 1 Peter 3:10-11 says, “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.” Though your tongue is small, it controls everything in your life; with it, you can chart your course in righteousness, dominion, success, and prosperity. There's no situation that can’t be changed, and no wound in your body that can’t be healed, if you'd make your tongue your own tree of life by declaring God’s Word over your life and situation.
The word, “wholesome” in our opening verse is translated from the Hebrew word, “marpe,” which means healing and health. A “wholesome” tongue, therefore, is a tongue that’s curative, a fountain of life, because it's filled with the Word of God!
Speak God’s Word; speak health, wellness, and life to your body; that’s what your mouth is for. Your mouth wasn’t given to you merely for eating and drinking; its greater use is for controlling your life. Your present position in life is the result of your “mouth-work.” Matthew 12:37 says, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned,” letting you know that you’re to regulate your life with your tongue: What you say is what you get!
Often times, there’re those who wonder why the circumstances of their lives, and their experiences, don't seem to align with the wonderful blessings and provisions of the Gospel, despite being born again for several years. The reason for this dilemma is that they haven’t made their tongue their own tree of life.
You can be anything you want to be, have anything you want to have, and achieve anything you want to achieve within God’s perfect will. The key is in regulating your life with your tongue, making your tongue your own tree of life!

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace that has brought salvation to my spirit. With my mouth, I keep on proclaiming that all the blessings of salvation—health, prosperity, safety, wellness and wholeness—consummated by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, are my present-hour possessions and vital realities of my daily existence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. ;

His Liquid Love.

Friday, January 9th .2015
-Pastor Chris

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him (Romans 5:8-9).

The message of Jesus Christ is encapsulated in one thought: It’s about His liquid love, His life, forgiveness and righteousness. His love is liquid because it flows. The Bible talks about the love that the Father poured out lavishly—like water upon all men—through Christ Jesus. Such extraordinary love did He express and direct towards us, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. He didn't die for us because we were living right; no. He did it while we were yet sinners. That's love indescribable; liquid-love extraordinaire.
When you understand this about Jesus, about His life, who He is, and the fact that He gave His life to save you, then you’ll understand what God thinks about you; how He values you. His vicarious death defines your value. He thought you were worth His life; so He gave His life in your place. This shows that you’re as valuable to the Father as Jesus is. No wonder the Lord Jesus, pouring out His heart to the Father in prayer, wanted the world to know that the Father has loved us even as He had loved Him (John 17:23).
How inspiring it is to know that Jesus gave His life, so that you may have it. The life you ought to live now should be the life of the Son of God; live His dream. Paul boldly declared in Galatians 2:20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Living by the faith of the Son of God means you’re living His dream; you’re living what He saw and thought that you could be, for which reason He died for you! What He saw in His mind about you: What He thought, what he wanted; His dream of what you could be!
Don’t live a lesser life. Live God’s dream, remembering His liquid love towards you. He thought you were valuable and special, wanted you, and gave Himself for you.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for lavishly pouring out your love on me, demonstrating that I’m worth the life of your Son Jesus. Therefore, I’m motivated to reach out to sinners and win them to Christ. I’m compelled by your love to preach the Gospel to them, and turn them from sin unto righteousness, and from the power of Satan unto you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. ;
1 John 4:8-10 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God,but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

You’re Extraordinary.

Thursday, January 8th.
Pastor Chris

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26).

Have you ever imagined the fact that the creator of the universe resides in you, in His totality? The Holy Spirit beautified the heavens. The Bible says, “By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens…” (Job 26:13). This awesome Third Person of the Godhead made everything in the universe; yet, He chose to live in you. Think about it. 1 Corinthians 3:16 states clearly that you’re the temple of God, and that the Holy Spirit lives in you. Have you ever considered why? It’s because you’re important to the Father.
God made it so, for the Holy Spirit to live in you, because you’re important to Him and He wants you to be just like Him. He gave you His Spirit—the same Spirit He has—to live in you and make you fulfilled in life and full of joy, such that anything you get involved with will be full of glory; so you can be a success in anything and everything.
As a child of God, you’re the unveiling of the person of the Holy Spirit. He expresses Himself through you. He talks to you, and also talks through you. He leads and guides you; yet, He moves you; He propels you in the way that you should go: the way of righteousness. He's such a unique and awesome personality. If you're born again, be glad about the Holy Spirit; He’s the beauty of Christianity. He's the glory of your life. Acknowledge this about Him always, and live with that consciousness.
Step out with confidence, every day, and reach out to your world with the Gospel of Christ, knowing that the One that’s been called to go along with you is the greatest of all. He’s made you invincible and extraordinary, a super being indeed!

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for leading and guiding me in life by your Spirit; I go forth in confidence today, knowing that I’m backed by deity. My life is full of glory and I succeed in all endeavours, because the Holy Spirit is the essence, beauty, and glory of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
John 14:16-17
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ;
John 15:4-5
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Neutralize The Adversary!

WEDNESDAY 7, Jan. 2015
-Pastor Chris

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (2 Corinthians 10:4).

Sometimes in our walk of faith, we encounter circumstances that pose some serious challenges to our faith. It could be in the area of church growth. For instance, maybe as a pastor, you’ve done everything you thought you should do and applied all the strategies you know of, yet your church is not growing. Now, you’re thinking what next to do.
At such a time, it’s important to look at things from the spiritual perspective and realize that there’s an adversary who is all out to oppose the Gospel and God’s children. Ephesians 6:10-11 says, “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.” The wiles of the devil refer to the stratagems of the devil, the “lying in wait” of the devil. The Apostle Paul, here, wants you to know that there’s an enemy that’s lying in wait, strategizing against you, and against the Church.
But to counter this enemy, he tells you to put on the whole armour of God. Why? It’s because he knows that if you don’t put on the whole armour of God, you’ll be vulnerable. Verse 12 of the same chapter goes on to say, “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.” Now, something about this wrestling is that it’s not just a fight as in physical combat; rather, it’s the adversary trying to sway you from the right path through deception. The only way you win in this kind of battle is to do what the Word says. Resist him.
James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Revelation 12:11 also shows us how to resist, neutralize, and put the adversary to flight. It says , “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” So, no matter what the enemy throws at you, neutralize him by standing strong on your faith in the blood of Jesus and by the word of your testimony. That blood reconciled us to God, gave us life, cleanses us from all sin, and it’s on the mercy seat before God in heaven. The word of your testimony, which refers to your testimony of God, is really your faith’s proclamation of the Word at work.

PRAYER:
Dear heavenly Father, I give you thanks for the opportunity to be blessed by your precious Word today. I’m not ignorant of Satan’s devices, and I refuse to fall prey to them. Through my faith in the precious blood of Jesus and by the word of my testimony, I put Satan and all his cohorts of hell where they belong—under my feet—in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

The Fullness Of The Blessings Of The Gospel.

Tuesday, January 6th, 2015
-Pastor Chris

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:29).

Could this be possible in the earth? Can a man have, and walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel? Emphatically yes! We just read it. Paul, as he planned his missionary journey to the Roman Christians, via Spain, was convinced he’d be carrying in him, and with him, the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel. This is extraordinary. It completely debunks the erroneous and religious belief that as long as we’re in the earth, we can never have the fullness of God’s blessing.
It’s important for us to understand the greatness and infinite wisdom and power of almighty God; He’s the author and creator of “fullness.” This was what gave the Apostle Paul the audacity of faith to make such a bold declaration of the Word. He walked in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ, and hoped to visit the Christians in Rome to impart the same to them.
What does this mean to you even now? Are you aware that you can, and should, walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ? The very thought of it, the understanding of it will completely revolutionize your life. Consider Peter; He also understood this and functioned accordingly. No wonder he declared that we’re associates of the God-kind (2 Peter 1:4); we belong in God’s class, and should therefore live with this consciousness.
John, writing to the Church, said, “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” (1 John 4:4). These men understood what it meant to walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ; they knew what Christ had made us and they spoke and lived accordingly. The Bible says, “Of His fulness,” talking about Christ, “have we all received…” (John 1:16). You received the fullness of God’s blessing when you received Christ, because Christ is EVERYTHING! Walk in this light, for the fullness of God is in Christ, who is in you.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word to me; my life is improved! I’m a partaker of the divine nature. I live in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ. I’m joined to the Lord and that makes me impregnable and more than a conqueror, winning everyday by your grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Maintaining Inspiration

MONDAY 5, Jan. 2015.
-Pastor Chris

Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord (Romans 12:11 AMP).

One of the striking benefits of prevailing prayer and meditating on the Word is that they help you maintain the fire of the Spirit. The only way I’ve kept my spirit aglow for so many years is through prevailing prayer, and consciously setting my mind to meditate on the Word. It doesn’t matter what you’ve studied or known about God; it doesn’t even matter what blessings you receive from the Lord; if you’re not a praying person, you’ll lose the spiritual fervour or glow that comes with the Word.
There’s something about the Word of God that has power. It’s not in the words and how they sound; it’s not even in the message itself that it communicates; no. It’s in the power of the Spirit that’s wrapped up in it. Recall what we read in our opening verse: The Moffat’s translation uses the phrase, “Maintain the glow,” for “fervent in Spirit.” There’s a glow of the Spirit in your life that you must maintain through fellowship with the Lord in prayer and meditation on the Word.
Something that meditation does for you is that it drives the Word deep into your spirit and causes it to mingle with your spirit. So, when you study the Word of God, meditate on it; that means, mutter it! When you read or hear the Word, as the case may be, say it aloud to yourself repeatedly so that it gains the ascendancy in your spirit until it becomes a part of you. Then the glory of it will be manifested in your life.
Prayer, on the other hand, is equally very impactful on your spirit. The importance of prayer isn’t so much about the answer that you receive when you pray, but the impact your fellowship with the Lord in prayer has on your spirit; it causes your spirit to glow. Every time you pray, your spirit becomes even more glorious than it was before you began praying. That glory is retained in your inner man and then you find yourself walking in the paths of destiny; you find yourself being at the right place, at the right time, doing the right things.
Be aglow in the Spirit, through prayer and study of the Word!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word and prayer on my spirit. Your Word builds me up, and causes me to walk in your perfect will always. And when I pray, I’m transfigured; my inner man is built up like an edifice, higher and higher, and my spirit is glorified. I’m aglow with the Spirit, serving the Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Know your purpose in Him.

SUNDAY, Jan 4th,2015
PASTOR CHRIS

...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world...
(John 18:37).

''Is it easy for one to find out His purpose on earth from the Lord?"
Someone might ask. Emphatically yes! He's a master communicator. If you'd ask Him about His purpose for your life, He'll talk about His purpose for your life, He'll talk to you in a language that you'd understand; He'll lead you in life into that which He has called you to be. All you have to say is "Lord, guide my spirit; I want to be all that you want me to be; lead me into that which you have chosen me for." Then, follow your spirit, as He leads you.

There're times that the Spirit of God could strengthen your heart towards something or against a particular thing. That's an indication of His guidance in your spirit. When He strengthens your heart against a particular thing, it may not necessarily be because that thing is wrong, but because the timing might be wrong. Nonetheless, if you'd listen to Him in your spirit and follow the Word, you'll walk in His perfect will always. He'll make you a success at every level of your life.
Perhaps you were wondering and thinking what new investments to undertake, what new frontiers to chart or what business to embark on. Listen to Him in your spirit and He'll guide you aright. Often, we say any project, business or vision that's good for people and glorifies God is okay; but that's in the general class. There're specific things that are peculiar to you as a person; which means even though such may be good for God and good for people, God may not want you particularly to go into it.
This is the reason you must find out your purpose in Him and know for yourself what direction to take in fulfilling the destiny that He has for you. That's why we learn the word of God, and get the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The more you recognize His voice within your spirit, understand His word, and live by it, the clearer His voice will be within you for everything in life. That way, you'll never be confused about what to do, where to go etc; you'd become the revelation of God's will in your daily walk.

PRAYER:
Blessed Father, thank you for leading me in the paths of success, victory, and rest by the Holy Spirit, who is my all. I'm completely yielded to Him as He leads me to make accurate decisions, and walk in the center of your perfect will, always, in Jesus' Name. Amen

He Needs You!

Saturday, January 3rd, 2015
Pastor Chris

The heaven, even the the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the Children of men
(Psalm 115:16)
If you had a house and leased it to someone, it remains yours, but for the period of the lease, you have no authority over that house.
In the same way, God has given man this world to run, and for the time being, He can't run the world by himself; He's given you the authority to do that. The time will come for Him to run the world but until then, you and I have the devine responsibility to run the world for Jesus Christ, and He hold us accountable for how we ran our world.
Many, including Christians, analyze the events and happenings in the world and wonder why God isn't "doing" anything to right the wrongs. Well, if you're waiting on God to do something, you're making a mistake. He needs you. He doesn't, and wouldn't do anything without you, until the lease runs out, and a new heaven and a new earth takes its place. However, until then, the responsibility is ours to tam and subdue this world.
Look out it this way: God want us healthy and sound, and stated it as His desire for us. 3 John 1:2, "Beloved, I. Wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul propereth. "Yet. In James 5;16, He said, "Confess your faults one to another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. "
Why is that? Why does he want us to pray for one another so that we may be healed? Why doesn't He heal us? It's because He needs the right to take action on our behalf; so, He charged us to pray. Therefore, take your place as a joint heir with Christ and fufil your purpose here on earth. Read Romans 8:19-21; it puts it in perspective: "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." He needs you.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your power and ability vested in me to ruin this world. I'm your seed, prolonging your days here on earth. Therefore, I fufil my devine responsibility of bringing men and women into their inheritance in Christ, through the Gospel, in Jesus' Name Amen

NEVER ALONE.

FRIDAY, 2ND JANUARY,2015
PASTOR CHRIS

...for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you) ... (Hebrews 13:5 AMP).

As a child of God, you’re never alone; you’ve never been, and will never walk alone as long as you have the Holy Spirit in you. He lives in, and with you—not for a time, but for all time. Part of His ministry in your life is to stay in fellowship with you, strengthening your faith and stirring up courage in you to do the will of God, and fulfil your calling.
Encourage the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life through your conscious appreciation of His indwelling and abiding presence. Perhaps you’re out on evangelism, witnessing to others about Christ; know that you’re not alone. As you minister and share the Word, He’s there, confirming the Word in the hearts of those to whom you’re ministering; He’s ministering together with you.
Any time you feel you’re alone or feel as though you’re not making impact the way you ought to, remember and recognize that the Holy Spirit is in, and with you. Acknowledge His presence and work in you, as Jesus did. Jesus said, “...the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works” (John 14:10). He recognized the Holy Spirit as the Father that dwelt in Him, working in, and through Him.
Recognize that your Father (the Holy Spirit) lives in you; He’s much more than an influence, a prophecy or an inspiration; He’s your Father, your guide and your keeper. Trust Him with your life and you’ll always be a success. He’s the true Helper: the One you can rely on, and trust, to bring you out of any difficult situation.
If you’re experiencing some challenges right now, perhaps with your finances, health, academics, marriage, business, or career, don’t fret; you’re not alone. Don’t go seeking help from men; set your attention and affection on the Holy Spirit; He never fails. Read again, His reassuring and comforting words to you in our opening scripture, and ponder on the emphasis in the underlined portion.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit, my teacher, my guide and my keeper; the Father that dwells in me! I’m a success, a victor and a champion for life, by the Holy Spirit who lives in me and performs wonders through me. I acknowledge and take advantage of His presence in my life, and nothing is impossible to me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which isthe Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

SET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT.

THURSDAY, 1ST JANUARY.
-PASTOR CHRIS

...Martha, dear Martha, you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it.(Luke 10:41-42 MSG).

In life, many are more preoccupied with learning more about their work, how to be better in running their family, business, managing their finances, etc. While this is good and commendable, all of those things will never
make you a complete person; they’ll never bring you to the place that the Spirit of God wants you to be. The most important thing in your life—
your greatest pursuit—should be getting a hold of God’s Word, knowing it, and living in it; having the Word build your life and mould your
character. Make this your number one goal as you set your priorities for the year.
Consider what happened in Luke 10: Jesus visited Mary and Martha in their home. Martha, Mary’s elder sister, didn’t quite give attention to
what was most important. Soon as Jesus arrived, she hurried into the kitchen to fix Him a meal, thinking to give the Master a good treat.
However, Mary, with great excitement, sat at the feet of the Master to get nothing but the Word.
She must have thought, “The Master in my house? This is an opportunity of a lifetime to get my life improved!” Thus, she chose to sit before the Master, taking a hold of every Word that He taught. She had her priorities right.
Read again in our opening verse, the Master’s
commendation of her faith and passion for the Word, despite Martha’s complaints that she had left her to do the chores all by herself. It
reminds of another of Jesus’ encounter with a woman at the well of Samaria. He had asked the woman for a drink of water, and she declined. Then Jesus said to her, “...If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water” (John 4:10). Like this woman, if Martha had known who Jesus was, she would have been asking for “food” from Him, not trying to get Him some.
Take a cue from Mary. Set your priorities right by giving adequate attention to the Word. The Word is the real foundation for everything.

PRAYER:

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

SET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT.

THURSDAY, 1ST JANUARY.
-PASTOR CHRIS

...Martha, dear Martha, you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it.(Luke 10:41-42 MSG).

In life, many are more preoccupied with learning more about their work, how to be better in running their family, business, managing their finances, etc. While this is good and commendable, all of those things will never
make you a complete person; they’ll never bring you to the place that the Spirit of God wants you to be. The most important thing in your life—
your greatest pursuit—should be getting a hold of God’s Word, knowing it, and living in it; having the Word build your life and mould your
character. Make this your number one goal as you set your priorities for the year.
Consider what happened in Luke 10: Jesus visited Mary and Martha in their home. Martha, Mary’s elder sister, didn’t quite give attention to
what was most important. Soon as Jesus arrived, she hurried into the kitchen to fix Him a meal, thinking to give the Master a good treat.
However, Mary, with great excitement, sat at the feet of the Master to get nothing but the Word.
She must have thought, “The Master in my house? This is an opportunity of a lifetime to get my life improved!” Thus, she chose to sit before the Master, taking a hold of every Word that He taught. She had her priorities right.
Read again in our opening verse, the Master’s
commendation of her faith and passion for the Word, despite Martha’s complaints that she had left her to do the chores all by herself. It
reminds of another of Jesus’ encounter with a woman at the well of Samaria. He had asked the woman for a drink of water, and she declined. Then Jesus said to her, “...If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water” (John 4:10). Like this woman, if Martha had known who Jesus was, she would have been asking for “food” from Him, not trying to get Him some.
Take a cue from Mary. Set your priorities right by giving adequate attention to the Word. The Word is the real foundation for everything.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for giving me your Word, the material to build my life, and strengthen my faith; my understanding is enlightened to know the mysteries of your Kingdom, and walk in your
perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Prepare Your Heart For The Word

TUESDAY 30, Dec. 2014
-Pastor Chris

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty (Matthew 13:23).

In Acts 17:11, Luke, by the inspiration of the Spirit, compares the Jews who heard the Word in one city to those who heard the Word in another city. He wrote that those in Berea “...were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Those in Thessalonica had a different response to the same message of the Gospel, compared to those in Berea, whom the Spirit describes as “more noble.”
Do you know what it is for the Spirit of God to tell us that certain people were nobler than others? What was the distinguishing factor? The answer lies in the same verse 11: “...They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Those in Berea searched the scriptures; they studied to be sure that what they had been taught was really what the Word says. They received the Word with all readiness of mind. That means they prepared their hearts to receive the Word.
There’re people who go to church all around the world, without preparing their minds to receive the Word of God. Don’t be that way. It’s important to prepare your heart to seek the Lord (2 Chronicles 12:14, 2 Chronicles 30:19). Become voracious for the Word; let your heart go out for the Word. Let nothing distract you from receiving the Word. Those in Thessalonica received the Word with arguments; they argued in their minds against the Word; they weren’t ready for the Word.
Throughout the coming year, as you carefully study the Rhapsody of Realities devotional, and follow either the one-year or two-year Bible reading plan, receive all that the Lord has for you with readiness of mind. If you’d give the Word the right attention, you’d be amazed what God will do in your life, the revelations He’ll bring into your spirit to catapult you to higher realms of glory.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for showing me the benefits of preparing my heart to receive your engrafted Word into my Spirit. I have a voracious appetite for the Word, for it’s the only dependable material to build my spirit, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I’m therefore positioned for a life of absolute success and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 4:11-14; 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of
the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
