Rhapsody of Realities, October 2nd 2025, YIELDING TO THE WORD

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).

The Word of God makes us wise unto salvation. This isn’t just about receiving eternal life; it’s about becoming mature in spiritual things, understanding how to walk in your inheritance and live out the Christ-life effectively. There’re Christians who love God but still struggle through life because they haven’t yielded to the Word of God to regulate their lives. They haven’t allowed the Word to condition their minds, to renew their thinking, and reculture their character.

Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” There’s a continuous transformation from glory to glory that takes place in your life as you yield yourself to the Word of God. So, it’s not enough for anyone to say, “I’ve received salvation, and that’s it”; you must continue in the Word to live victoriously in Christ.

Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” As you meditate on the Scriptures, it causes everything about your life to blossom. The Spirit imparts light to your spirit to see and apprehend your inheritance in Christ.

God’s desire is for His Word to dwell in you richly in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 3:16). He wants you to live in and by His Word. He said in Luke 4:4, “…man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” That’s how you live above the systems of this world. That’s the path of blessings, victory and success; doing the Word: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:22 & 25).

PRAYER
Dear Father, your Word has made me wise unto salvation. I’m trained to reign, equipped to succeed, and conditioned to manifest your righteousness. I walk in spiritual intelligence and produce divine results, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms 119:98-100 KJV
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

‭‭Colossians 3:16 KJV
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

‭‭James 1:22-25 KJV
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I am in the centre of God’s will for my life and I am equipped with all things that pertain to life and godliness. I am filled with the fullness of God! The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage. I refuse to struggle for anything or respond in fear because God had not given unto me the spirit of fear. I unleash health, prosperity, and victory in my life. I walk in victory and dominion over Satan, as well as the world and its systems. Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. I am born of God; therefore, I have overcome the world. It makes no difference the difficulties that may come my way, I am victorious in all things.

Christ lives in me! I’m the expression of His reality, His grace, glory, kingdom, power, and personality! I’m the expression of His fullness; He is my completeness. It makes no difference what challenges I face in life; there’s a force – an empowerment – at work in me to blaze through the barriers. Everything and anything I could ever need is inside the greater One that lives in me. Good health, success, and prosperity are the hallmarks of my daily life. I enjoy life to the full always, to the glory of God the Father. I walk in supernatural strength, supernatural health, supernatural supply, and supernatural abilities every day. I am making progress with giant strides as I fulfill the ministry and destiny that God has for me.

You have made my life beautiful! I’ll never walk in sickness or defeat! The victorious and glorious life is mine now. Christ is my assurance of health and life eternal. I have dominion in Christ, I rule over my body with the Word of God and in the Name of Jesus. I disallow infirmity and I cut off any abnormality from my body. I reign as a king in this life, changing situations and circumstances in my favour. I make decrees and they’re established, for the Word of God on my lips is God talking! I’ll never be discouraged or subject to the crippling principles of this world, because I reign and rule by the Word. Christ has brought perfection and excellence into my life. I am prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
