Rhapsody of Realities May 22nd 2025, LIVE ABOVE HUMAN LIMITATIONS AND MIND-SETS

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48).

In Christ Jesus, we’ve been called to a life of perfection, victory and glory. Yet, there’re those who knowingly or unknowingly resist this truth by holding on to human limitations. They often say, “We are all human,” or “Nobody is perfect.” They use these statements to justify living below the divine life we’ve been called to in Christ.

When people say “We’re all humans,” they forget the transformation that took place when we were born again. The Bible declares, “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 new creatures in Christ, we’re not merely human—we’re born of God, partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).

The other common phrase “Nobody is perfect” also contradicts the Scriptures. The Lord Jesus unequivocally stated in our opening verse, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Perfection means to be full-grown in maturity, blameless, unspotted, wanting nothing; a completeness.

Then you have another common generalization which is “We all make mistakes,” as though living beyond mistakes is inevitable. But the Word of God teaches us differently. The Bible says, “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9).

The seed of God—the life and nature of God—is in you, empowering you to live above error and walk in righteousness. It’s about your knowledge and understanding of Christ and His Gospel. It’ll put you above every limitation to live the glorious life He has given you. Many are hindered by negative beliefs and traditions handed down by those who don’t know the truth. But you must look to the Word and refuse to live by these limiting mind-sets.

The life in Christ is one of excellence, righteousness, victory, and dominion over sin, Satan and circumstances. The life of Christ in you is a perfect life, and it’s your responsibility to walk in its reality. Refuse to accept mediocrity or failure. Look to the Word, believe it, and live by it. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I am not a mere human; I am born of God, a partaker of His divine nature, incorruptible and impregnable. I live the life of righteousness, perfection and glory in Christ. I refuse to accept human limitations, for I am empowered by the Spirit to live the victorious life. Hallelujah!

Extract From Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

My life is a message of the divine life, of God’s love, goodness, righteousness and true holiness. I’m fully yielded to the Word to culture my life and character, giving me the right mindset. I speak wisdom, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world that come to nought, but divine wisdom; it’s heard in my words and seen in my actions. I have the skill, capability, competence, and aptitude to accomplish every goal, target, and vision. I am divinely endued with special abilities and wisdom that set me apart in my world. My competence and ability are not natural, but of God; therefore, I am highly skilled in all aspects of my work.

I am marvellously helped and favoured of the Lord today, I advance daily with joy, knowing that the Lord has prepared my path. I walk on preordained paths, doing those good works which God has predestined for me, and living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for me. I have clarity of vision and strong focus; no darkness, no distractions, no confusion, no failure in my life. My spirit is open to receive from the Lord, and I am led continually into the greener pastures of the Spirit. My understanding is enlightened to function with the precision and accuracy of the Spirit. I have the mind of Christ, therefore, my mind is anointed to receive sanctified thoughts and ideas. God’s Word is the light by which I operate in my job, finances, family, and everything that concerns me.

God has brought me into a large place and He maintains my lot. I have a goodly heritage! For I know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for my sake He became poor that I, through His poverty, may be rich! I am rich, and I do not struggle to function in prosperity. There is no trace of poverty in me or my family. I am riding on the high places of the earth and making huge profits in my business and projects. I am enriched in all things and in every way. Great fortunes are delivered into my hands by the power of the Spirit. God has given me the ability to handle great finances. He loads me with benefits daily. I am highly favoured and blessed. I am financially buoyant in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen! Speak in tongues.
