Rhapsody Of Realities 20th November 2024. HIS STANDARDS ARE UNCHANGING

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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 (2 Corinthians 5:21). Without a proper understanding of righteousness, it’s impossible to live a true Christian life. Why is righteousness so important? To truly understand righteousness, we must first understand God. This is because, in the world, righteousness isn’t typically discussed. People might talk about doing what is right or wrong in terms of good and evil, but these are based on human definitions and moral standards. These standards can change depending on cultural, societal, or individual beliefs about what is right or wrong. For example, in certain countries, though bizarre, their law allows for same-sex marriages, meaning that in such societies, if a man marries another man, it’s considered okay. But in certain other societies, this act might be considered wrong or even punishable by death. In one place, it’s seen as normal; in another, it’s viewed as a grave sin. But God’s position on it is clearly defined in the Scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-32). God’s concept of righteousness is different. Many people mistakenly believe that the majority opinion represents the voice of God, but that’s not true. Whether the majority gets it right or wrong is irrelevant. God has His own voice, His own standards, His own Kingdom, and His own choices. He has expressed His will through Jesus Christ, whom He sent. When we talk about righteousness, we’re talking about God’s ability and attribute, the character of God to be right and perfect. It is about who He is. How He thinks is always right. What He says is always right. What He does is always right because He’s God. So, everything about God—His thoughts, His words, His actions—is always right. This is what we call the quality of rightness, the rightness of God. Therefore, understanding righteousness is about understanding who God is. It is about recognizing that His standards are unchanging and not subject to human opinions or societal norms. PRAYERRighteous Father, I align my thoughts, words and actions with your unchanging standards and live in your righteousness in this crooked and perverse world, shining as a light. I’m the unveiling of your righteousness. I’m a tree of righteousness, planted to produce fruits of righteousness. My life is a reflection of your grace and a testimony of your goodness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:Romans 1:16-17Romans 1:26-32Philippians 3:9 READ ALSO: Daily Affirmations: I walk in wisdom and discernment, always knowing the steps to take. The Holy Spirit has trained my tongue to speak the language of the Kingdom. I speak words of faith, authority, and power only, words that are consistent with Christ’s provisions in His Gospel and with the tenets and culture of our heavenly Kingdom. When I speak, it comes to pass, because my words are powerful; they produce what I say, because I speak from God and speak His Word. My life is a testimony of God’s goodness, love, mercy and grace; I’m the proof of His equity, and I walk in His righteousness, in divine health, prosperity, peace and joy. Christ is my wisdom. I’m filled with the fullness of God; loaded with all power, glory, might, and grace! The totality of divinity is fully present in my spirit and uniquely expressed through me! I display the perfections of Christ in sound health and with a life that is sickness-free. I am full of the joy of the Holy Ghost, and that joy gives me strength and vitality every day. I have in me an indestructible life! I declare that my faith is alive and producing health in my body, therefore; I refuse to entertain doubts in my heart, for I know my faith always works. I’m not moved by what I see, feel or hear; I’m only moved by the Word of God. The Lord Almighty is my defense and fortress. Satan has nothing in me because I am full of the Holy Spirit at all times. The environment in which I live is Christ. Here, there is no health scare, infection, or pandemic. No matter what happens to those in the world, I stand firm in faith, and I enjoy my glorious life now. I bask in the provisions of Christ for my life, health, and all that concern me. I am a new creation, born with the life and nature of God. I’m an associate of the God-kind, in vital, inseparable oneness and union with divinity. I’m superior to Satan, and I am above the forces of darkness. I affirm that divinity is at work in me. God’s stamp and seal of perfection are on me, certifying my health, success, victory, effectiveness, and glory in Jesus’ Name. Amen! Speak in tongues.

Rhapsody Of Realities 19th November 2024. THE PRIDE OF THE AGE

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc Dsc DD Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations (Isaiah 60:15 NIV).  Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE: The prophetic words in Isaiah 60:15 are worth celebrating. It says, “Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.” He said to lsrael, “I will make you.” I love those words. It brings to mind the words of Jesus in Mark 1:17, “…Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” You don’t have to struggle to “become” anything when you follow the Lord; He makes you. Read again what He said in Isaiah 60:15, “…I will make you an eternal excellency….” This is God’s plan—to make the Church, every one of us, an eternal excellency; what a transcendent thought! It means we’re the pride of the ages. The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) puts it beautifully: “In the past you were abandoned and hated, so that no one would even pass through you; but now I will make you the pride of the ages, a joy for many generations.” You’re the joy of many generations—that’s what God is saying about you. This is His purpose for your life.Believe and act on these words. Affirm that you’re what God says you are. Respond by saying, “Blessed Father, I’m the pride of my family, city, and nation; I’m the pride of many generations in the Name of Jesus.” Amen! PRAYER Dear Father, thank you for making me the pride of the ages, a joy to many generations. I’m the pride of my family, city, and nation. I walk in this consciousness, filled with your glory. Your light shines through me, and I’m a beacon of hope and a testimony of your love, grace and goodness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 60:15 AMPC – Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you [Jerusalem] an eternal glory, a joy from age to age. Psalm 135:4 – For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure. 1 Peter 2:9 – But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: DailAffirmations: Precious Father, You have made my life so beautiful! You’ve given me peace and joy on everyside. I refuse to be troubled. I have everything that I require for life and godliness. I am enjoying my life in peace. I’ll never walk in sickness or defeat! The victorious and glorious life is mine now. Nothing and no one can hurt or come against me successfully, for I have the unconquerable life of God. Satan and the powers of darkness are under my feet; therefore, I have nothing to fear. The impulses of fear have been completely disabled from my life. Irrespective of the situation, I’m bold and courageous, speaking the Word in faith.My body is full of radiant health and vitality. Sickness has no hold on my life. The body of Jesus was bruised and broken for me; therefore, I refuse to be broken by any infirmity. I live triumphantly through the Word and by the Spirit, far over and above sickness, disease, and death., by virtue of the divine life. Irrespective of the symptoms and the circumstances around me, I have and enjoy life to the fullest. I am an associate of the heavenly pantheon. I have divine life. Eternal life is at work in me. It makes me master over circumstances. I have dominion over the world’s deplorable systems. I have dominion over Satan. I am superior to sicknesses and diseases. I am superior to defeat and depravities that affect the natural man.God’s Word is established in my life and it is evident for the world to see. I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality and power, far above the devil and his minions, and far above sickness and disease. I live the glorious life of God who is above all and cannot be brought down by anything. I am a king and my words are full of power and authority; therefore I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life. I am strengthened with divine enablement in my inner man by the Holy Ghost. I function today with the Spirit of might, dominion, and excellence in Jesus Name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Rhapsody Of Realities 18TH November 2024. HIS WONDROUS LIGHT

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). Peter’s beautiful words help us to further understand Christianity. In Christianity, we’ve been born into God’s marvellous light, His wonderful light. The word “marvellous” means wondrous. Most translations interpret this as if we’re being brought out of literal darkness into light. But that’s not the full picture. When it says He brought us out of darkness, the term “darkness” actually means obscurity. He called you out of obscurity. He’s not referring to being called out of the kingdom of darkness in a general sense, but rather being brought out of obscurity—out of being unknown, unrecognized, unnoticed, where nobody knows or cares about you. He brought you out of obscurity into limelight, His wondrous or wonderful light. Why does He call it wonderful light? It will take several scriptures to fully explain this, but I want you to understand that this is the light of Jesus Christ. In Luke 1:79, Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist spoke about the message of salvation that would be brought forth, saying that this message would illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: “To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” They were sitting in darkness, sitting in obscurity, but Christ would be their light. This means His wonderful light does two things: it illuminates you and then makes you luminous. You become lambent and resplendent. Yours is the kind of light that both illuminates and transforms into a light source itself. The light is so strong, so dazzling that it turns its subjects into lights. That’s why it’s described as His marvellous light, His wondrous light. You’ve been brought into this light, and now you are lambent. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for bringing me into your marvellous light. I’m no longer hidden, unknown, or obscure; I’m a city set on a hill, lambent with unquenchable intensity. My life is a testament to your transformative power as I continue to grow and glow in your wondrous light, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:Matthew 5:14-16Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Isaiah 60:1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Ephesians 5:8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 2 Corinthians 4:6 NIVFor God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9 NET). I am enjoying God’s boundless grace; it is at work in me continuously. No matter what happens to those in the world, I stand firm in faith, and I enjoy my glorious life now. I bask in the provisions of Christ for my life, health, and all that concern me. There are no impossibilities with me. All things are possible with me. I am flourishing and bearing all-around fruits. I have significant attainments and supernatural productivity. I experience increase of every size. I have mighty harvest of blessings and miracles. My ground is producing new seeds and my seeds produce in rapid succession. There is abundance of harvest everywhere for me because protocols are broken for my sake. I possess and eat the good of the land because I have a goodly heritage. The wisdom of God is at work in me causing me to bring forth good things from within. I have an excellent mind. I bring forth creative ideas, results and innovations. My mind is blessed of God. I’m extravagantly rich. I dwell in peace with safety and prosperity. My peace and prosperity are unending. I yield my thoughts and mental processes to Your Word and Spirit, choosing to focus on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. I maintain an excellent mind that is creative, innovative, and free from negativity. My thoughts and actions reflect the excellence of my divine nature. This is my season for exaltation. That favour of God that brings promotion now rests upon me. I have been given great power, prosperity, and control. I am rightly positioned for all the Lord has planned for me this year. God is happy to do me good. He delights in my prosperity, my promotion, and exaltation. I am wondrously and marvelously helped of God. I’m born of God’s Word and His Spirit; therefore, supernatural health and strength are mine always. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost; the Spirit of God vitalizes every fiber of my being. I live triumphantly, far above the devil and the negative systems of this world! The life of God in me destroys sickness, disease, and infirmity completely. Divine life oozes out of me continually affecting everything around me, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Rhapsody Of Realities 17 November 2024. DISPLAYING HIS EXCELLENCE AND PERFECTION.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9 NET).  In the book of Acts, Luke reports how Peter and John healed a man who had been lame from birth. As a result, Peter and John were arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin (the Jewish council). During their interrogation, Peter boldly spoke about Jesus and the power of His Name.The Sanhedrin observed Peter and John’s courage and their profound understanding of divine realities, despite their lack of formal education (Acts 4:13). They saw in Peter and John the display of the excellence and perfection of Christ. It’s no surprise that the same Peter, by the Spirit, would write in 1 Peter 2:9, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”This is very significant as the term “show forth” translates from the Greek “exaggellō,” which means to display. Think about that as your calling, your assignment; it’s to display the excellence and perfection of divinity. The King James Version uses the term ”praises” but that doesn’t fully convey the meaning. The best word for it is a combination of excellence and perfection.So, when it says you should show forth the praises of Him, it means you’re to display the excellencies and perfections of the one who called you out of darkness. The AMPC renders it a bit more accurately: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.”Every day is an opportunity for you to fulfil this unique calling, to display the wonders, glory, perfections, love, grace, mercy and righteousness of Christ to the world. Hallelujah! PRAYER Dear Father, thank you for choosing me and bringing me into your marvellous light. I embrace my unique calling to display your virtues, perfection, love, grace, mercy and righteousness to the world. My life is a reflection of your glory, and the light of your glorious Gospel shines ever so brightly through me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 60:1-3: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Matthew 5:14-16: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 2 Peter 1:3 AMPC – For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).

Rhapsody of Realities, November 16th 2024, HIS WORKS CONTINUE THROUGH US

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12). What we just read are some of the most extraordinary words from the lips of the Master. He said those who believe in Him, not only will they do the same works that He did, but they’ll do greater works. This is only possible because Jesus has ascended to the Father, and through the Holy Spirit, His work continues through us. Recall what the Scripture says in lsaiah 53:10, “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” This verse speaks prophetically of the Church, the body of Christ, as the seed of Jesus Christ. It tells us that after His vicarious sacrifice, the Lord Jesus will see His seed—the Church—and we shall prolong His days. Hallelujah! That’s what’s going on; Jesus multiplies Himself through the Church today; He continues His mission through us. In Acts 1:1, Luke writes to Theophilus about “…all that Jesus began both to do and teach.” The key word here is “began”; Jesus started the work, but we continue it. We are the extension of His ministry, teaching, impacting and transforming lives as He did. The same Spirit that anointed Jesus for His work resides in us, enabling us to continue and expand upon what He started. Through the Holy Spirit, we’re empowered to reach more people and impact more lives for the Kingdom of God. Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” The Church is the extension of Christ on earth, living in His power and authority, fulfilling His mission. This is a calling of great honour and responsibility. We’re His hands, His feet, and His voice in this world, carrying out the will of the Father just as Jesus did. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege of being a part of the body of Christ. I’m forever grateful that through the Holy Spirit, I’m empowered to do your will and establish your righteousness. I walk in this calling with boldness and faith, knowing that my life glorifies you. Thank you for making me an extension of your Kingdom in the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:John 14:12 AMPCIsaiah 61:1-2John 20:21Matthew 28:18-20 READ ALSO: Rhapsody of Realities, November 15th 2024, MILK, MEAT, AND STRONG MEAT. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age… (Hebrews 5:13-14).

My health, strength, and wealth are assured. Christ is mingled with my spirit. So, I refuse to be sick any day, anytime. I am invigorated with strength always. I’m a victor in Christ Jesus. Fear, doubt, and unbelief have no place in me, for my faith in God and in His eternal Word is the victory that overcomes the world! Divinity is tabernacled in my physical body! I’m a new creation, not subject to the elements of this world. I live a transcendent life! I live above the limitations of the human body and the physical realm through the ability of God’s Spirit. Health, peace, joy, and the glorious life are my present-hour inheritance. I am a king and a priest unto God and my words are full of power and authority; therefore I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I can never be small, the Spirit of God is magnifying my voice and influence around the nations of the world. The anointing of God’s Spirit has set me apart for greatness, causing me to spread and make progress on every side. In my business, job, career, finances, academics, family, and in all that concerns me. I have sound knowledge and understanding. I have strength, might, and power. I speak excellent and princely things. I have an understanding heart. The opening of my lips are for right things. My words are all righteous. I speak the truth always. God has given me wisdom. There is nothing beyond me. There is nothing I cannot handle. I have a wise and discerning heart. Christ is my excellent wisdom. Nothing and no one can hurt or come against me successfully, for I have the unconquerable life of God. Satan and the powers of darkness are under my feet; therefore, I have nothing to fear. The impulses of fear have been completely disabled from my life. Irrespective of the situation, I’m bold and courageous, speaking the Word in faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 14th 2024, ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR TRUE IDENTITY

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). One of the fundamental requirements for the manifestation of truth in anyone’s life is the knowledge of that truth. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….” Ignorance leads to destruction because without understanding, people walk in darkness and fail to realize their true potential. Also, in Psalm 82:6, the Lord said, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” This verse reminds us of our divine identity and potential. However, many don’t understand and live in the reality of this truth. We see the result of this ignorance in the latter part of that verse: “But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes” (Psalm 82:7). We’re divine beings; we’re “gods” because God gave birth to us: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13). James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” This is the profound reality of our spiritual identity: we’re as divine as He is divine because we have the same life with Him. Every so often, declare, “I know who I am!” Acknowledge your true identity. Knowing who you are in Christ empowers you and causes you to live triumphantly every day. Consider how the Lord Jesus responded to the gruelling interrogation before Pilate. When questioned and accused, Jesus remained silent until Pilate asserted his supposed authority saying, “l can free you or have you crucified.” Jesus then spoke up, summarizing His response with the acknowledgement of His true identity. He said, “You have no power over me at all” (John 19:11). Jesus’ initial silence and subsequent declaration demonstrated His unwavering understanding of who He was. Just as the Lord Jesus knew His purpose and identity, you too must recognize and embrace your divine identity. This knowledge equips you to live boldly and purposefully, regardless of external pressures or challenges. FURTHER STUDY:2 Peter 1:4;2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 2:9 AMPC PRAYERDear Father, I know and understand my true identity in Christ. I’m the righteousness of God in Christ, imbued with eternal life, the organic and existential attributes of deity. I’m victorious and vibrant, strong and excellent. I walk in the light of this truth every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:2 Peter 1:4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 1 Peter 2:9 AMPCBut you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. READ ALSO: Rhapsody of Realities, November 13th 2024, A SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). I am in Christ! I reign in righteousness; thus, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, and I function with the ability of the Spirit always. I refuse to think or talk sickness, for I am the seed of Abraham. The Lord keeps me in perfect peace continually because my mind is focused on the Word of God. I am vibrant. I enjoy divine health every day, all year round. I do not wane with age; rather my strength is renewed daily like the eagles. I have entered into the zone of agelessness, deathlessness, and wantlessness. God’s divine nature takes absolute pre-eminence over my spirit, soul, and body. I refuse to let any contrary condition take root in me or affect anything that concerns me I am sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency, and His superabundant grace upon my life is enough for me in all things. Grace—the lifting power of God that attracts the right people, materials and resources—has put me ahead and positioned me for success and victory. I think thoughts of peace, joy, victory, prosperity, and good health. I’m seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms. Far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come! I’m exalted with Him in glory; I know who I am: chosen, royal, and peculiar! I experience the supernatural in my body every day by the power of God’s Spirit. Daily, the Word produces what it talks about in me, causing me to radiate good health and strength and to display a life of peace with prosperity. I have all things that pertain to life and godliness. I walk in divine health and prosperity and function from a vantage position of victory and unending success in Christ. With the Word in my heart and on my lips, I’ll forever be indomitable. I flourish exceedingly every day, everywhere, and at all times. I walk in health, victory, and triumph because I function in the Name of Jesus. My life is for glory and excellence. I manifest God’s bountiful blessings of success, prosperity, health, and joy, so that all may see and glorify Him. My life is exuberant with joy and I walk in the manifestations of God’s righteousness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). As a child of God, you have a new nature. This is fundamental knowledge for every Christian, yet many haven’t fully grasped it. When you were born again, it wasn’t just a religious experience; it was a supernatural transformation. Something incredible took place in your spirit; a new man with a new nature came into being. The human life you were born with was supplanted by the life and nature of God in Jesus Christ. This is the true meaning of being born again. The very life and nature of God that Jesus brought to this world, the organic and existential attributes of divinity, was imparted to your spirit. This is why Jesus came. He came to give you a new life, a supernatural life.This is what 2 Corinthians 5:17 means: “…If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” There’s been a supernatural transformation now that you’re born again. Therefore, it makes no difference what obtained in your natural life prior to your being born again; there’s a new you! Whether it was a disease, an infirmity, or any other limitation—now that you’re born again, there’s been a change. The old “you” wasn’t renovated or revamped but recreated after the image of God that created you (Colossians 3:10). You were recreated to look like God and to function like Him. Glory to God! No wonder He says in Ephesians 4:24, “…put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” his new you is created in righteousness and true holiness, perfected in Christ.There’s nothing that’s supposed to be in you that isn’t in you now. Also, there’s nothing that shouldn’t be in you that’s in you. Now you can understand why He says, “all things have become new”; everything in your life is new now that you’re born again. It’s crucial that you know this truth. Your acknowledgement of it activates its power in your life as the Bible says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” (Philemon 1:6). Hallelujah! *PRAYER** Dear Father, I acknowledge that I’m a new creature in Christ; old things, including sickness, disease, infirmity, and all kinds of limitations have passed away, and all things have become new. I walk in the knowledge of this truth, and its power is fully activated in my life to live the transcendent life and walk in the fullness of my new nature in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. **FURTHER STUDY:** Colossians 3:8-10* But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: *Romans 6:4* Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. *1 Corinthians 6:11* And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 12th 2024,WE DECIDE THE TIMING

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time (2 Thessalonians 2:6). In 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Paul, by the Spirit writes, 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 is the “son of perdition”? It’s the Antichrist. The Bible describes him as one 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 (2 Thessalonians 2:4). The Antichrist is someone who not only rejects God but also exalts himself above God, setting himself up as an object of worship. This deception is a hallmark of the end times, a period of great spiritual and moral decadence. However, our theme scripture also gives us a clue about the timeline of these events; it indicates that something or someone is currently restraining the Antichrist, preventing him from being revealed before the proper time. Who is this restraining force? It is the Church, filled with the Holy Spirit, standing in the gap and holding back the full manifestation of lawlessness. The presence of the Church on earth is the restraining force against the powers of darkness. Paul further clarifies in verse 7, For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. This means that lawlessness is already at work in the world, but it is being restrained by the Holy Spirit through the Church. We have a significant role to play in these last days. The Church must continue to stand firm, preach the Gospel, and live out the truth of God’s Word. Until we are “taken out of the way,” we have the authority to dictate the timing of the Antichrist’s revelation. Our mission is clear: Preach the Gospel to every creature, in all nations, because only through faith in Jesus Christ can they be saved. There’s no other way (Mark 16:15-16). We decide the timing through our actions, our prayers, and the spread of the Gospel. As we fulfil our mission, God is counting the souls brought into His Kingdom. He’s the one who knows the exact number of those who must be saved and keeps the records. When the full number of the Gentiles is brought in as the Bible says in Romans 11:25, then the end will come. Until then, we continue to haul back the forces of darkness, keeping Satan and his cohorts of darkness where they belong—under our feet! *PRAYER**Dear Father, I stand firm, by your Spirit, against the forces of darkness and hold back the full manifestation of evil until the appointed time. I pray that every Christian remains steadfast in our mission to preach the Gospel to all nations, quickly bringing many to salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.* *FURTHER STUDY:*Mark 16:15-16*And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Romans 11:25*For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6*But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 11th 2024,THE LEGALITIES OF INTERCESSION

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified (Isaiah 43:26). When we pray, especially in intercession, it’s crucial to understand the legalities involved. Intercession requires a deep comprehension of these legalities because it’s an argumentative prayer, where you present your case, make your claims, and provide the legal reasons for your requests. Intercession is different from the prayer of faith, although it still requires faith. The prayer of faith is often a single declaration, a one-time statement where you believe and receive, trusting that it is done. However, intercession frequently requires importunity, earnestness, and fervency in prayer because it involves standing in the gap for others. Without such intensity and persistence in intercession, things could go awry for those you’re praying for. In intercession, you’re taking a stand between God and the person or people you’re praying for. You step in on their behalf, presenting your case before God and explaining why what you’re asking for should be done for them. This is why it’s important to be clear about your legal position and claims when interceding. This is much more than just asking God for something, it’s about understanding the authority you’ve been given and using it effectively to argue your case. So learn to stand in the gap and bring the needs of others before God in prayer. Study God’s Word intensely to know it intimately so you can use the Word to plead your case effectively. Remember what He said in Isaiah 41:21, “Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.” Then in Chapter 43 verse 26, He said, “Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.” Our confidence that He hears and grants our intercessions is on the basis of His Word. Blessed be God! PRAYERRighteous Father, I thank you for the privilege of intercession, where I can stand in the gap for others to fervently plead their case in accordance to your Word. Thank you for the authority you’ve given to me in Christ to establish your will on earth and in the lives of people everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:James 5:16-18 AMPCConfess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. 17 Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months. 18 And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]. 1 Timothy 2:1-6I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Hosea 14:2Take 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. READ ALSO: daily Affirmation.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 10th 2024, MIND YOUR LANGUAGE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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 (Mark 11:23). You must learn to speak in alignment with God’s Word, not with the language of fear or negativity that the world teaches. For example, instead of saying, “l’m afraid it’s going to rain; simply say, “It’s going to rain!” Don’t talk fear!If you’re searching for something and can’t seem to find it, or you’re trying to move something heavy, what should your response be? Never say, “I can’t?” You see, that’s what the world has dropped into the hearts of many that’s so difficult to eradicate. But you’re different. You’re a child of God, and in our Kingdom, we talk differently. We speak faith, not fear, doubt, or unbelief.Using the expression, “I can’t” reinforces a mindset of limitation. One might think it’s just about a specific situation, like not being able to move something, but it’s more than that. It’s incongruous with your divine nature. Recall what Paul said: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13 NKJV). In Christianity, we have the “I-can-do” mentality. It forms the basis for our communication. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” We speak the Word. We speak in alignment with the divine realities of our heavenly Kingdom. Life is about what you say. Proverbs 18:21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. So, mind your language; speak right. Speak truth; God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). CONFESSION I take my place of dominion and reign through words. I walk in divine health, victory, peace and prosperity. I live above the elements and debilitating forces of this world because I live in Christ, I’m seated with Him, far above Satan and the wicked forces of darkness. The world is subject to me. Blessed be God! FURTHER STUDY Romans 12:2 AMPC*Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. 1 Peter 3:10*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: Mark 11:23 NKJV*For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Some people have never truly experienced the day-to-day triumphant and supernatural Iife that God has called them to live. For them, Christianity is just another religion, marked by mediocrity and a lack of results. But I refused to accept that kind of life from the moment I was born again. I made a decision very early in my life to put the Word of God to work and live the divine life as exemplified by Jesus Christ for us in the Word. Since I made that choice, the results have been undeniably outstanding and astounding. Thus, I’m confident to tell everyone “It works! The Word works!” I’m living proof that it does. Glory to God! I wasn’t going to settle for a religious experience, no, I saw from the Scriptures that we are ordained to win always. We walk in blessings every day and dispense the same to our world. It’s part of our heritage in Christ. We are the blessed, and we are the blessing. Hallelujah! How could anyone know this and have a blue day? Some believe that the transcendent life ended with the apostles in Bible days; no! We’re living in the reality of the Bible days right now. Don’t think or say, “Today is just not my day.” Every day is your day—your day of victory, dominion and favour. When you wake up in the morning, declare, “Today is my day! I’m excited about today!” Having received the Holy Spirit, you should never have a single day of defeat or despair. Everything that comes your way is an opportunity for progress and promotion. Every challenge is a stepping stone to greater victories. Have this consciousness and enjoy a glorious day every day! *PRAYER**Dear Father, I choose to live by your Word, experiencing the supernatural every day. I walk in health, prosperity, victory, success and joy. I’m moving forward and upward, making progress, always triumphant and victorious, 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. *2 Corinthians 2:14*Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. *Psalms 68:19*Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 8th 2024, HIS WORD—A GUIDING LIGHT

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light (Psalm 36:9). Some people allow past experiences or disappointments to shape their relationship with God, and that’s wrong. God’s Word is and must remain the foundation of your walk with Him. Your daily relationship with Him should be guided by His Word, not by what you have faced or what others say. His Word is the light that guides us every step of the way. Hallelujah! Remember the words of the psalmist, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). Those who ignore the Word grope in the dark and face so many calamities in life: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… (Hosea 4:6). The Word of God is your life and your light; so never be casual or too familiar with the Word.Let the truths and realities of the Scriptures stir you up all the time. Love the Word. Hear the Word and acknowledge it; and then live the Word. That’s what you need to win every day. That’s what you need to walk in the supernatural every day. The Lord Jesus said in John 8:12, ..I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” How do you follow Him?You follow Him in the Word, through the Word, and by the Word. Then He says, when you follow Him, not only will you not walk in darkness, you’ll have the light of life. In other words, you’ll have answers; you’ll have solutions to life’s issues and problems. You’ll be a victor all the way. You’ll know exactly which way to go and what the direction for your life is. That’s what the Word gives you. Light gives direction. Light shows the way. God’s Word (His Light) illuminates your path to see, apprehend, and walk in the path God has preordained for you—His destiny for your life. Hallelujah! PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that is a guiding light in my life, illuminating my path as I fulfil my destiny in Christ, guided by your truth and wisdom. Thank you for granting me answers, solutions and the clarity I need to fulfil my purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life: John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 7th 2024, HE DELIGHTS IN FULFILLING YOUR DESIRES

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24). Observe what the Lord Jesus said in our opening scripture; He clarifies that we can ask the Father anything in His Name, and it will be granted. When you walk in love, your desires naturally align with His; therefore, you won’t ask for anything outside His will. He thus encourages us to ask and receive so that our joy may be full. What a blessed invitation! It shows the Father’s desire to bless us. Unlike earthly parents or others who may become weary of too many requests, God never grows weary of our many requests. He delights in answering us and fulfilling our desires.Therefore, when you ask, believe that you receive. Jesus did not say to ask and wait indefinitely; He said to ask and receive. This means from the moment you ask, start rejoicing and acting as though you already received because, in the spirit, it’s done.We often deal with disappointments from people who don’t keep their promises, but God is not like that. He is faithful, and He keeps His Word. Humans may fail, forget, or disappoint, but God never fails. 1 Peter 3:12 says, For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers Hallelujah!In Hebrews 13:5 (AMPC), the Bible says, 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)! [Assuredly not!]. Ponder those words for a moment and be overwhelmed by the Father’s love and desire for you to live in fullness of joy, peace, confidence, dominion and victory every day. He delights in you and in fulfilling your desires. PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for our privilege and authority in prayer, and my joy is made full. I refuse to doubt or waver because your Word is ever dependable, ever-sure and ever-trustworthy. Thank you for always hearing me and granting my petitions, for indeed, your Word is yes and amen, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Matthew 7:7-11* Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? *Mark 11:24* Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. *1 John 5:14-15*And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
