Rhapsody of Realities August 12th 2025, CHRIST IN YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).

The greatest thing that could ever happen to a person is to receive and know Jesus Christ. His Word and indwelling presence give your life a meaning and establish your victory over sin, sickness and the devil.

Man is a spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body. When you were born again, Christ took up His abode in your spirit. However, His manifestation in your life must go beyond your spirit and impact your soul, mind and body. A person can be born again and still struggle with negative thoughts or be oppressed of the devil.

This is because the soul, which comprises the mind, emotions and will, must also be subjected to the influence of Christ. When Christ is manifested in your soul, your thoughts are renewed to align with God’s Word. Instead of thinking fear, failure, or defeat, you think faith, success, victory, dominion and righteousness. You feel the emotions of God and act according to His will. This is why the Bible admonishes in Romans 12:2 for us to renew our minds.

In John 14:21, the Lord Jesus said, “…he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” This means Jesus can manifest Himself to you, not just in your spirit but also in your mind, filling you with divine thoughts. If you’re sick in your body today for example, what you need is the manifestation of Christ in your body! It’ll keep you in divine health.

His manifestation in your life dispels everything that is not of God. If Christ is manifested in the limbs of one who’s impotent, they’ll be made whole. If He’s manifested in your heart, you’ll never have heart trouble. Hallelujah! Christ manifested in the lives of sinners breaks the power of sin and shatters the chains of bondage for them to serve God in righteousness.

So, let Christ be fully expressed in every part of your being—your spirit, soul and body—so that you may walk in the fullness of His glory. It begins with you being conscious of the Christ-life in you and living every second, every minute and every hour of each day with the understanding that Christ in you is the hope of glory.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the indwelling presence of Christ in me. His life, power and glory are manifested in my spirit, soul and body. Every sickness, oppression, and limitation is dispelled as Christ is revealed in my life. I walk in divine health, righteousness and victory, expressing your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

‭‭‭Romans 8:10-11 KJV‬
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

‭‭‭John 10:10 KJV‬
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

‭‭‭2 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJV‬
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

‭‭‭‭Colossians 1:26-27 KJV‬
even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: [27] to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

My life is full of glory and excellence. I’m a living testimony of God’s manifold wisdom. I am supremely and graciously blessed; no curse can work against me. I am seated together with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. I am a partaker of God’s divine nature and I walk in abundant grace and divine favour. I am preserved from the machinations of wicked and unreasonable men. I have peace on every side. I completely reject anything that hurts or binds. I live above the decadence and flawed systems of this world.

My strength is renewed daily, and I’m divinely energized at all times for victory. Everything I require for life and godliness has been made available to me. God’s Word is my light and my life! It’s the nourishment for my spirit, food for my soul, and health to my flesh! I live by the Word always and declare that its mighty power is at work in me as I meditate on it and observe to do what it says. I belong to Christ and I am Abraham’s seed and an heir according to the promise! I affirm that I’m filled with the fullness of God, loaded with all the power, glory, might, and grace of divinity! My words are backed with the power to alter situations and every word I speak comes to pass. I speak life to my bones, health to my organs, and agelessness to my body.

I have been positioned for the glory-life, and I have in me everything I need to excel and live in perpetual health and victory on earth to the glory of God. I’m lifted above this world, its deterioration and the decadence, and I continually abide in the realm of life and glory that God planned for me from the foundation of the world. God’s Word is the nourishment for my spirit, food for my soul, and health to my flesh! I am 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 God’s glory. God’s light shines through me, and I’m a beacon of hope and a testimony of His love, grace and goodness to my world in Jesus Name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
