Rhapsody of Realities July 10th 2025, SEE FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:1-2).

The Word of God gives us clear instructions as to how to live, the mindset we should have, and what our outlook on life should be. Take for example what we just read in our opening scripture. The Lord is telling you to focus on heavenly things and not on earthly things. Have a mountain-top view.

It brings to mind something remarkable that the Lord told me many years ago; He said, “Son, see from the mountaintop.” The interesting thing is, I didn’t even realize I was on the mountaintop until He told me. You see, it’s not something you feel physically or emotionally.

I know that some Christians say they are “journeying” and trying to get to the mountaintop. But being born again, you’re on the mountaintop. You’re risen with Christ; seated together with Him, far above principalities and powers. Therefore, see from there. Live from there. It’s the best view. Hallelujah!

From the mountaintop, you see things clearly. Your perspective is elevated. You’re above the distractions and limitations of the world. You see from a higher realm, the realm of the Spirit, where it’s only victory, strength, health, prosperity and unending progress.

Ponder again what we read in Colossians 3:2, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Your thoughts, desires, focus and devotion should be directed towards heavenly realities, not earthly distractions. Align your mind with the heavenly perspective and live victoriously every day.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for raising me up with Christ to live and see from the mountaintop. My affection is set on heavenly things, and my vision is clear and focused; I live above the distractions and limitations of this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Extract From Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

My life is the revelation of the graces and realities of God’s Word! I live triumphantly over sickness, disease, Satan, and the systems of this world. I live the supernatural life; a life of victory, glory, peace, and dominion. I’ve passed from death to life, from sin to righteousness, and from sickness to health. There’s no death in my life, family, finances, business, or job because the One in me is greater. I am a life-giving spirit and everything I touch or connect to receives life. Christ’s glory is manifested in my body as I flourish in divine health every day of my life. I live above sickness and disease. My life is excellent and full of glory. I exercise my kingly authority today and always.

This is my season for exaltation. That favour of God that brings promotion and power now rests upon me. I have been given great power, prosperity, and control. I am rightly positioned for all that the Lord has planned for me this year. God is happy to do me good. He delights in my prosperity, promotion, and my exaltation. I am wondrously and marvelously helped of God. I am enjoying life every day in divine health and prosperity; nothing is missing or lacking in me. I belong to God and I only express His virtues because I’ve been perfected for His glory. The glory that I see when I look into the mirror—the Word—is who I am.

I affirm that good things are coming my way and happening for me and around me because the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. I am continually strengthened with might in my inner man as the anointing of God’s Spirit runs through every fibre of my being, making me sickness and disease-free. I am not governed by luck or chance; rather, I walk in the path of victory, promotion, strength, health and excellence, as I navigate my way through life with God’s Word, to the praise and glory of His Name. My heart is flooded with light, and my life filled with brilliance and beauty in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
