Rhapsody of Realities August 26th 2025 ,THE BLUEPRINT FOR A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4).

For us to enjoy peace and prosperity in all godliness and honesty in our societies, the Word of God shows us what to do. We must pray as outlined for us in our opening scripture above. When we do, we will witness the salvation of leaders, heads of institutions, and those in positions of authority.

Consequently, the nations will flourish with prosperity and peace. The Holy Spirit, the Chief Strategist, knows exactly how to influence things along these lines. He knows how to convict the leaders, bring them into the Kingdom and cause them to do the right things. Imagine the impact when you intercede for your city, for institutions, the president and his cabinet members, state governors, legislators, commissioners, justices of the Supreme Court, judges, etc. It’ll result in a great harvest because it’s God’s plan.

Don’t let anyone convince you that we’re praying too much for the nations. Our prayers are shaping destinies and bringing God’s will to pass. This is God’s blueprint for a quiet and peaceable life, not one achieved by chance or political reforms but by the deliberate prayers of Christians who believe and know the truth.

So, take your place in intercession. Become the channel for God’s righteousness, peace and prosperity to permeate your city as the Gospel thrives and the will of God is established in the hearts of men. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for showing me how to pray effectively. I take my place in prayer, interceding for all men, for leaders and those in authority, that they may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. I declare that the Gospel has free course in the nations and the hearts of men are turned to righteousness. Thank you for the great harvest of souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I am always in sync with the Holy Spirit, God is at work in me both to will and to do according to his good pleasure. My eyes are opened to see financial opportunities and divine doors that are opened unto me to produce wealth. I am favoured by the right people in the right places at the right time. I have been graced to reign in this life through righteousness. I make decrees, and they’re established because I function in, and with, the authority of Christ. I refuse sickness, failure, defeat, and death. I reject anything that’s not of God, and I endorse only that which is consistent with His perfect will for me.

There is a lifting up and a perfection in all that concerns my finances. Nothing is too good or too high to be possessed by me. I am riding on the high places of this earth, feeding on heritage of Jacob. I am living in the best days of my life. My prosperity is from glory to glory. I am mightily blessed. I have grace for wealth, riches and fortunes. I succeed in all things, fulfilling my destiny in God and riding on the high places of the earth by the Word of God. The Word of God has taken full possession of my spirit, soul, and body. I’m eternally triumphant in Christ because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world!

I walk in the light of my riches, honour and wealth in Christ Jesus. I am blessed, and am greatly positioned by the Most High, I am exalted by the Spirit of God. I’ve been raised to a higher realm of prosperity, increase, and success. The blessing of the Lord has brought me into a place of excellence, success, victory, and abundance. I am excellent and full of glory; my path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day! I am complete in Christ! I’m sufficient in His sufficiency; there’s no shortage in my life. I don’t lack or want for anything: ideas, inspiration, wealth, prosperity, and all the goodness of God are in my spirit, and I bring them forth from the fullness in my spirit. I am an heir of the whole world, my prosperity is unlimited; all things are mine! I lay up gold as dust, and I walk in the realm of superabundance, wherein I’m graciously supplied with every good thing in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
