Rhapsody of Realities January 14th, 2026 CHOSEN TO RULE THE WORLD

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world… (John 15:19).

The Lord Jesus said you’re in the world but not of the world. You’ve been handpicked by God and separated from the world to live the divine life, to live and play by a different set of rules. You’re a child of the Kingdom; therefore, you’re to live in this world with Kingdom mentality. Rule and reign over the systems, elements, structures and circumstances of this world.

This world is subject to you; the words of the Lord Jesus in John 16:33 make this very clear. He said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” When He overcame the world, you were in Him. He overcame the world, not for Himself but for you.

Therefore, in Him, you’ve overcome the world and the god of this world, Satan. You’re superior to Satan, his cohorts of darkness, and the corrupting influences of this age. You belong to a royal class. You’ve been brought into a higher realm of existence, with dominion and excellence.

When others complain about their circumstances, you bring solutions. You’re not part of the crowd demanding change; you’re the one effecting changes through your words and prayers. You have a Father who’s greater than all, and He lives in you; you represent Him. Therefore, never think or talk like the ordinary man.

Understand who you are; your calling is to reveal God’s excellence and righteousness to your world. You’ve been set as a light in a dark world. You’re Heaven’s best; chosen, royal and supremely blessed: “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 marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC).

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for choosing me out of the world and setting me apart for your glory. I’m conscious of my divine origin and heavenly calling. I function from the realm of glory, shining your light and dispensing your grace to my world. I live as royalty, revealing the beauty and excellence of the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

‭‭1 John 5:4-5 KJV
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. [5] Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God

‭‭John 17:14-16 KJV
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. [16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

‭‭Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
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.

DAILY AFFIRMATION:

I function with supernatural strength and abilities today. Nothing and no one can hurt or harm me, for my sufficiency is of God. I walk in preordained pathways of blessings! Divine health flourishes in me. Goodness and mercy follow me everywhere I go, and I have the supernatural grace to excel in all endeavors today. Everything that concerns me prospers exceedingly. I don’t function in my own ability or strength, for my sufficiency, my ability is of God. My strength is renewed daily and I’m divinely energized at all times for victory and all-around success. The glory of God is resident in my spirit. I am a God-carrying vessel. My mind is flooded with the light of God’s Word and I only see pictures of life, strength, and health.

I know who I am! I’m from above and my life is the supernatural life of God’s Word. I radiate God’s glory with health, success, prosperity, and excellence. The Lord God is mighty in me. He has blessed me with everlasting life; a life of grace, truth, and agelessness. I am empowered with might from within; therefore, I am victorious at every count and in everything. I refuse to live or function by natural abilities or within human capacities. I make full proof of God’s limitless power that has been deposited in my spirit; thus, I reign, rule, and dominate my world.

It doesn’t matter the trials, pain, and difficulties in the world, I am unperturbed because I live in, and by, the Word of God. I declare that I am healthy, well, prosperous, and victorious. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My legs are His legs – He moves through me; they will never be lame. My hands are His hands – He works through me; my hands will never be paralyzed. My eyes are His eyes – He sees through me; these eyes will never be blind. My mind is daily renewed by the Word of God – I am mentally sound; I give no room to depression or negative thoughts in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.
