Rhapsody of Realities January 5th 2025, YOU RECEIVED SOMETHING WHEN YOU BELIEVED

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). The most beautiful part of the Gospel is not only that Jesus bore our sins and sacrificed Himself for us, but that He gave us something in return—eternal life. One of the most well-known verses in the Bible is John 3:16 and it says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This means anyone who believes in Jesus Christ receives eternal life. It’s a guarantee! The moment you believe in Jesus, you have it. You don’t have to wait for it or hope for it; you have it immediately. John 6:47 says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” It’s not a promise of something to come in the future. If you believe, you already have it! Often, I ask people, “Do you believe in Jesus?” and some would say yes. Then I’d say, “Did you receive anything when you believed?” I found that most weren’t sure. They weren’t taught that something extraordinary happened as a result of their believing in Jesus. The Master was clear: “…He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” 1 John 5:11-12 says, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” Notice the tenses: if you have Jesus Christ, you have eternal life. So, don’t pray for eternal life. The 13th verse is absolutely remarkable; it says, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” (1 John 5:13). God wants you to know that you have eternal life. This knowledge changes everything. When you know that you have eternal life, it impacts the way you live. You no longer live in fear or uncertainty but in confidence and victory. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. I walk in the consciousness of this life, living boldly and confidently, knowing that I am secure in Christ. Thank you for this precious gift that changes lives and empowers men to live in victory, prosperity and health every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| 1 John 5:11-13 NIVAnd this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. || || John 3:36 NKJVHe who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” || || John 5:24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. || READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: Blessed be the Lord who daily loads me with benefits, even the God of my salvation! Today, there’s an overflow of favor and abundance for me, and I take possession. I’ll never be broke in my life, for the Lord has supplied all that I require for life and godliness according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. I’ve been granted unrestricted access to the unending, boundless, fathomless, incalculable and exhaustless riches of Christ, wealth which no human being could have searched out. Poverty isn’t a part of my life, for I’m an heir of God; therefore, the silver is mine, and the gold is mine; the world belongs to me. The Word of God is life and health to my flesh; therefore, no infirmity can thrive in my body. I am the light of the world; there is no darkness or death in my life. I’ve passed from death to life, from sin to righteousness, from sickness to health and from poverty to wealth. I decree peace with prosperity and perfect health in every area of my life. I live above the limitations of the human body and this physical realm through the ability of God’s Spirit. Health, peace, joy, and the glorious life are my present-hour inheritance. The Word of God is life to me and medicine to my body. It rejuvenates and refreshes me daily! I’m divinely immunized against all forms of sicknesses, diseases, and infections because God’s Word of life dwells richly. The ability of God is at work in me today, and I’m conscious of it! I don’t function in my own ability or strength, for God’s inherent ability is in me. I’ve put on the new man, which is created in righteousness and true holiness. I am a member of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. In Him, I live, move, and have my being. Sin and death have no power over me. The Lord has given His angels charge over me; thus, no evil shall befall me. I testify of the goodness of God and the victories He has wrought in my life through Christ Jesus! The infallible power of His Word has brought me into a place of health, strength, power, rest, and dominion in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.Speak in tongues.

Rhapsody of Realities January 3rd, STAY IN THE WORD

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD ?Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth (Ephesians 6:1-3). Someone asked the question: “How powerful are curses or blessings spoken by parents over their children?” Such curses or blessings, according to the Bible, have impactful implications; they could be quite powerful. When you study the Bible, you’d find blessings by parents and curses by parents and how they came to pass. Being born again, it’s important to understand that we’re called into a life of blessings by God. We were called to inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9). If, however, you had a problem with your parents before you were born again and they pronounced a curse on you, now that you’re born again, that curse will no longer have any effect. You should nevertheless go and reconcile with them. That’s important. If reconciliation is impossible or difficult, consult your pastor. Your pastor can counsel you and guide you on what to do next. If you were already born again and then your parent cursed you, generally, that curse will not work. However, if your actions were contrary to the Word of God, you could face real trouble. This is because being outside the Word of God places you in a vulnerable position where such a curse could have an effect on you. Remember the lsraelites in Egypt: when the death angel was to come into Egypt, God instructed them to mark their doorposts with blood. This marked them out from the Egyptians, protecting them from harm. Similarly, staying within the Word of God and functioning according to God’s principles keeps you protected. If you live outside the Word, you open yourself to potential danger; you break the hedge as it were. And the Bible says, “…whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him” (Ecclesiastes 10:8). God wants us to live in peace, for He has called us to peace, especially with our parents. The Bible teaches us to honour our parents as stated in Ephesians 6:1-3, which is a quote from Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16. This commandment comes with a promise: that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth. Christian parents should also never curse their children but bless them. PRAYER Dear Father, I choose to live in the light of your Word, honouring my parents and those you’ve placed in my path as leaders and walking in peace and in the blessings that come from doing your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY?=> || Colossians 3:20 Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. || || Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. || || Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. || || 1 Peter 3:8-9 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. || IF YOU ARE NOT YET BORN AGAIN, KINDLY SAY THIS PRAYER TO RECEIVE SALVATION NOW!?=> https://bit.ly/salvation-link READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: This is my year of Completeness.

The totality of divinity resides in me. I am God’s house, His living tabernacle. I am not an ordinary man; I am of the God kind! I am complete in Christ. No shortage, a perfect completion. I have everything I require for life and godliness. My completeness; my sufficiency is not in the government, my place of work, in any human structure, organization, or association. My completeness is in Christ. 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. I live in health, prosperity, and excellence. I have no lack in this life because all my needs are met in Christ Jesus. Satan has nothing in me because I am full of the Spirit at all times.

Rhapsody of Realities January 2nd 2025, THE FULL PICTURE OF THE GOSPEL MANDATE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen (Mark 16:20). When you study the Synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark and Luke—you’d observe different perspectives to the Lord’s instruction with respect to the preaching of the Gospel. However, one theme stands out: The Gospel is to be preached to every man, woman, boy and girl; it’s for all nations. Mark gives us a clear structure for our mission as read in our opening scripture. The disciples went forth and preached everywhere; they did their part, and the Lord did His part by confirming the Word they preached with signs. This makes our responsibility clear: We preach the Word, and it’s the Lord’s responsibility to confirm it with signs following. In Luke 24:46-47, we see another significant aspect of the Master’s instructions. Luke, who had a deep understanding of the events surrounding Jesus’ ministry, adds a crucial point about the content of the Gospel that we’re to preach: repentance and remission of sins, “…Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” While Matthew emphasized teaching all that Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19-20), and Mark focused on preaching the Gospel which the Lord confirms with signs (Mark 16:19-20), Luke gave us the full picture. The Lord’s message was not just to teach or preach but to declare repentance and remission of sins among all nations. The early disciples initially kept the message within the Jewish community. They may have thought the Gospel was only for the Jews scattered among the nations, or perhaps they misunderstood the global scope of the Lord’s command. But the Gospel was always meant for all nations, for every creature (Mark 16:15). This revelation became clear through discussions like those recorded in Acts 15, where they finally embraced the full scope of the Lord’s mission. Today, we carry that same mission, teaching all that Jesus commanded, preaching the Gospel to every creature and to all nations, declaring repentance and the remission of sins in His Name. And the Lord continues to work with us, confirming His Word with signs following. Praise God! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for confirming your Word with signs, blessings and miracles as we, your children, all go forth and preach your Word today. Many receive salvation and are converted as your Word comes to them in the power of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| Acts 1:8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. || || Matthew 28:18-20And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. || || Acts 15:7-9And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. || || Mark 16:19-20So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. || READ ALSO: I am complete in Christ, who is the head of all principality and power. How beautiful it is to know that when God looks at me, He sees me complete, lacking nothing necessary for life and godliness. I refuse to live with a lack mentality as though there are certain things I don’t have. I am totally inundated with the consciousness of my completeness. Just as there’s nothing of God lacking in Jesus, there’s nothing of the Master lacking in me. The Master never had a sense of lack because He knew the world and everything in it belonged to Him. I, therefore, walk in the mentality of abundance because I lack nothing. I have all things that pertain to life and godliness. Christ is my all; I’m complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power; there’s no shortage in my life. I’m full of ideas, inspiration, with wealth, prosperity and all the blessings of the Kingdom; and out of that abundance, I impact my world. I am complete in Christ Jesus, and I’ve been perfected through my union with Him. I’ve been created for good works and predestinated for the good life; there is nothing wrong in my body. I’ve got everything I require for an excellent life. The Holy Spirit has brought the glory of God into my life, giving me guidance and direction; He makes me creative and innovative. He’s filled me with supernatural ability to do things beyond the ordinary; I see value where others don’t; I bring new things into this world. I have insight into mysteries and secrets through the Holy Spirit. I’m Spirit-ruled and Word-governed. I see through the Word, understand by the Word, and renew my mind with the Word. I’m cultured by the Word for the life of the Kingdom. The Word of God controls my values, ideas, opinions,

Rhapsody of Realities January 1st 2025, GET BUSY FOR THE LORD

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord… (James 5:7). This year is a very special year, and one of the things you should schedule to do every day is talk to people about Jesus; preach the Gospel with much passion. The urgency of the moment demands it. The Lord is coming soon. When we talk about the coming of the Lord, which is the second advent of the Lord, in-between is another very important event, which is the catching away of the Church; it’s called the Rapture of the Church. The Rapture is the event described in the Bible where the dead in Christ shall rise, and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them and taken out of this world to meet the Lord in the air. This event—the Rapture of the Church—is very near; therefore, the Bible says, “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be…” (2 Peter 3:11). Your manner of life has to reflect and show that you’re waiting for your Lord’s return. Mark 13:35-36 says, “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.” Don’t let Him come back and find you sleeping or doing nothing. You should be busy for the Lord. So, today, what are you doing for the Lord? It’s a very important question to ponder. Are you busy for Him, or are you busy for yourself, your company, or your earthly family? What are you doing for the Lord? Somebody once said, “A service to man is a service to the Lord.” That’s not entirely true. The service to man that is the service to God is the service to man that God asked you to do, not just any service to man. So, live unto Him as the Bible says: “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again” (2 Corinthians 5:15). 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unnmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” CONFESSIONI live each day with a consciousness of the Lord’s soon return, staying diligent in the work He’s called me to do, winning souls and sponsoring the Gospel. I’m strengthened to live according to God’s Word, bearing fruits that glorify Him, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY||1 Thessalonians 4:16-17For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. || || 1 Peter 4:7But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. || READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am in a place of never-ending, superabundant wealth.

I have unlimited access to inexhaustible riches. I am plugged into a non-stop supply system. Goodness and mercy are attracted to me. The law of multiplication is at work in me, nothing diminishes in my hands. Wherever I invest my money, the Holy Spirit gives me the advantage. My profiting is undeniable and appears to all. The Lord is my refuge and my fortress. He shields me from deadly hazards. His outstretched arms protect me – under them I am perfectly safe. I fear nothing. My health is flourishing. Of my increase, greatness, prosperity, and flourishing, there shall be no end. I have strength for accomplishment. I have no unfinished goals or aborted dreams. Every one of my targets and dreams is coming to fruition speedily. By the virtue of the divine life of Christ at work in me, I have authority over all the devices of the adversary and I experience health, victory, and prosperity, now and always. I believe God’s Word for me. I speak it because it is my life. The glory and blessings therein are evident in my life. I lack nothing because The Lord is my Shepherd. My completeness, my sufficiency is not in the government, my place of work or any human structure, organization, or association. My completeness is in Christ. I’m sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency. I’m totally inundated with this consciousness. In Christ, I have all things! Christ is my all. I am complete in Him, Who is the head of all principalities and power. There is no shortage in my life.

Rhapsody of Realities December 31st 2024, FORGIVENESS IS IN THE PACKAGE, December 31st 2024

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins (Acts 5:30-31). What we just read brings to mind the words of the Lord Jesus when He appeared to Saul of Tarsus. He told him He was sending him to the Gentiles, “To open their eyes…that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” (Acts 26:18). Notice the emphasis in the latter part on receiving forgiveness of sins, not asking for it. You’re to “take” forgiveness of sins. Read that latter part again and see the connection between receiving forgiveness of sins and our inheritance; they’re both under the same Greek word “Lambano.” The same way you receive an inheritance is how you receive forgiveness. Just as it’s pointless to ask for your inheritance again and again, for the Bible says in Him (Christ Jesus) we have obtained an inheritance (Ephesians 1:11), it’s superfluous to keep asking God for forgiveness. That’s because in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, forgiveness is in the package; you receive it and make it yours. Read 1 John 1:9 and notice that it doesn’t say, “ask for forgiveness”; rather, it says to acknowledge your sins. Why? It’s because He’s already provided for your forgiveness. What He wants you to do is to obtain forgiveness; receive it. It’s important that we teach people the accurate Word of God. If Satan can keep you asking for forgiveness again and again and you aren’t sure whether or not you’re being forgiven, he will make you ineffective in your Christian life and unable to do the things that God has called you to do. Your faith will be weak. The Father knows this, and that’s the reason He provided for your forgiveness. If you did something wrong in your life and you are thinking about what to do, stop asking and trying to wait to know whether or not God has forgiven you; receive (“lambano”—Greek) forgiveness; take it! You say, “Father, I acknowledge that this thing I did is wrong, and I receive forgiveness in the Name of Jesus.” That puts the responsibility on you not on God. It’s no longer a question of whether or not God has forgiven you; rather, it’s about whether you have received what He already made available to you. Forgiveness is part of that Gospel package. Hallelujah! This song selection will help you pray better, www.loveworldlyrics.com/moment-of-prayer-playlist/ . PRAYERDear Father, I rejoice in the inheritance I have obtained in Christ, knowing that forgiveness is part of the Gospel package. I walk in the freedom and victory you’ve provided, empowered to live a life that glorifies you. I live an effective Christian life, knowing that I’ve been justified by faith. Now, I walk in righteousness and produce fruits of righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| Ephesians 1:7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; || || Colossians 1:14In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: || || Romans 3:24-25Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; || || 1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. || READ ALSO: My life is a manifestation of the virtues and perfections of divinity.

Rhapsody of Realities December 28th 2024, ACCEPT WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God] (Romans 4:25 AMPC). When we say “Jesus died for the whole world,” it’s a generic expression indicating that He died for all humanity. So, in that generic sense, Jesus was condemned in our place. He was judged for all of us. But when you believe in Him, two significant things happen. First, your acceptance and acknowledgement that His vicarious sacrifice was in your behalf makes it possible for you to receive eternal life. Receiving eternal life means you’re born again; you’re now a brand new person, without a past: “…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). Then, now that you’re a new creature in Christ Jesus, it’s essential to understand that in the actual sense, Jesus didn’t die for the sins of this new man in Christ because the new life you received upon the New Birth is the God-life; it’s not tainted with sin. The new man in Christ was created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). Colossians 3:10 says you “…have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.” This realization leads to the understanding of why you’re justified. The Bible says, “Jesus Christ was delivered up on account of our transgressions but He was raised for our justification” (Romans 4:25). Now, being justified, you’re at peace with God and have become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Those who don’t understand this truth struggle daily, “trying” to be righteous and to please God. But the key is to simply accept the truth of what Jesus Christ has done and live by it. Moment of Worship: https://loveworldlyrics.com/the-night-of-his-birth-by-kome-amp-treasure-and-loveworld-singers-christmas-eve-service/ PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the gift of my brand-new life in Christ.

Rhapsody Of Realities, December 27th 2024, JESUS—THE FULLNESS OF DEITY IN BODILY FORM

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell (Colossians 1:19). The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are eternally existent and manifested in Jesus. Each person of the Trinity has a distinct personality. Yet, Jesus is the bodily manifestation of the Godhead; He encompasses the fullness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Colossians 1:19 says, “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.” Colossians 2:9 further emphasizes this; it says, “For in him (Jesus Christ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” This means the fullness of deity, the fullness of the Godhead, resides in Jesus in bodily form. If you want to find the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in one body, it’s in Jesus. Hebrews 1:1-3 lends further credence to this; it says, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person….” In other words, Jesus is the exact replica or representation of God the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:10, “The Father is in me, and I am in the Father.” This reinforces the idea that Jesus is the manifestation of the Father. When you see Jesus, you see the Father; He embodies the character and essence of the Father: “…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father…” (John 14:9). 1 Timothy 3:16 encapsulates it beautifully: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Observe that it says “seen of angels.” The angels, who had never seen God the Father’s form, saw Him for the first time when Jesus came. He made the invisible God visible even to the heavenly beings, demonstrating the profound mystery and majesty of the Trinity. Praise God!

Rhapsody Of Realities, December 26th 2024. TREAT PEOPLE WELL

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another (Romans 12:10). Did you know that what you give to others—the treatment you mete out to them—is actually unto God? That’s what the Bible says: “If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD—and he will repay you!” (Proverbs 19:17 NLT). So, when you do good things for others, never complain about it; instead, be glad. Once you complain about the good you’re doing, you destroy the effectiveness of it. Remember what the Bible says: do all things without complaining, and by so doing, you show yourself to be a true child of God without fault, manifesting His light in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation (Philippians 2:14-15). When you’re kind and affectionate to others, you don’t have to expect anything from them in return, for the Bible says, “of the Lord you shall receive your reward:” “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23-24). Everyone who treats people well, turns out to be a success in just a matter of time. Why? Because God treats people well and He’s always on the lookout for those who manifest His character. Remember, He so loved us that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die in our place for our salvation (John 3:16). He looks out for those who identify with Him in saving, blessing and loving others so He can manifest His grace and power in and through them. Therefore, let His love flow out of you effortlessly. Be genuinely interested in people and be willing to help them. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, offer your assistance. Ask, “May I help you?” and when you’re through, still ask, “Is there anything else I could do for you?” What if they don’t treat you nicely in return? It doesn’t matter! The Bible says, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing” (1 Peter 3:9 NIV). Spread love. Spread life. Spread joy! That’s what Christmas is about. Let others testify that their lives changed for the better because they met you.

Rhapsody Of Realities, December 25th 2024. CHRISTMAS: THE CELEBRATION OF CHRIST IN YOUW

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). For some people, Christmas is all about food and family. So, on Christmas day, they make sure to get around family, eat, feast and be merry. But beyond the merry-making, Christmas is about Christ: who He is, what He came to do, and the fact that He actually accomplished His purpose. Had He not accomplished His purpose, life would have been empty. He came, lived, died, and came back to life that you might live. He said in John 10:10 (AMPC), “…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” 1 John 3:8 says, “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” This same Jesus is coming again, and it’s time to serve Him truly; it’s time to know Him for sure. Titus 2:13 tells us something beautiful about who He is—He’s the great God and our Saviour: “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Did you see that? Jesus is God. When He was born among us, He was called “Emmanuel,” God with us. In Colossians 1:19, the Bible says, the fullness of Deity resides in Him. The totality of divinity dwells in Jesus Christ: “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). Jesus Christ is the body of God; everything that God is, is in Jesus. But here’s the most inspiring part: this Jesus, the great God and our Saviour, isn’t just with you today but in you. That’s what we read in our opening scripture: Christ in you the hope of glory. This is the actual meaning of Christmas. Christmas is the celebration of Christ in you. You haven’t known what Christmas is and how to celebrate Christmas until you have the understanding that Christ literally dwells in the quarters of your heart. The real celebration begins when you arrive at God’s revelation for Christmas, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. This was God’s plan from the beginning: this was what He always wanted—that we be filled or replete with all the fullness of God, just as Jesus was. Moment of Worship: https://loveworldsongs.com/love-made-manifest-by-sylvia-and-loveworld-singers-christmas-eve-service/ CONFESSIONI rejoice in the divine truth that Jesus is the great God and our Saviour who has extricated humanity from death, hell and shame and brought life and immortality to light.

Rhapsody Of Realities, December 23rd 2024. PROGENIES OF THE KINGDOM

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:15). The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it (Luke 16:16 NKJV). The Kingdom of God is a real Kingdom, howbeit, a spiritual one, and being born again, we’re progenies of the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God includes everything under God’s dominion, both on earth and in Heaven. But there’s also the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the earthly manifestation of the Kingdom of God, set up by Jesus. So, when Jesus came and said, “The Kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 3:2, Mark 1:15), He was referring to the Kingdom of Heaven that He had come to establish or set up in the earth. This is the Kingdom that Jesus began to preach and to make known, something others couldn’t do because they hadn’t entered it themselves—it was promised to them. But Jesus preached it and then brought us into it through the New Birth. Hallelujah! Colossians 1:12-13 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father…Who hath…translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” So, today, the same Kingdom that Jesus Himself preached is what He’s commissioned us to preach to the ends of the earth: “And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God…” (Luke 9:2). But one day, very soon, this Kingdom, which is in the spirit realm right now, will manifest in this world and take over this world. Intensify your efforts and stop at nothing in ensuring the good news of the Kingdom spreads to the ends of the earth; win more souls into the Kingdom. The Lord Jesus, referring to being born again, said in John 3:5, “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” It’s our responsibility to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom so that every man, woman, boy and girl on the face of the earth might hear, believe and be brought into the Kingdom. Remember the words of the Master in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Blessed be God! Moment of Worship: https://loveworldlyrics.com/your-name-lord-by-alex-loveworld-singers-october-prayer-and-praise/ PRAYERDear Father, thank you, because now that l’m born again, your Kingdom is in my heart.

Rhapsody of Realities December 22nd 2024. UNDERSTAND LOVE FROM GOD’S PERSPECTIVE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19). I like the fact that at Christmas time many profess love; they say it’s a season to love one another. But most only assume to know what love is, whereas they really don’t. What most have experienced and understood is tolerance, not love. Tolerance is your ability to bear with others; it’s a good thing, but it shouldn’t be confused as love. That you tolerate people doesn’t mean you love them. Even the Jews had difficulty understanding love. The Jewish mind was complex, and one of the ways God could get their attention was to give them the golden rule: “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: l am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:18). He said to them, “Love your neighbour as yourself.” But how could a man love his neighbour as himself when even he isn’t conscious of loving himself? This wasn’t God’s best delineation of love, but He had to work with them from the “outside.” So, He said to them, “Do unto others as you want them to do to you” (Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31). After a while, they began to abuse this. A man could take another’s wife and say, “l don’t mind if you do the same to me. Take my rude wife.” But when Jesus came, He manifested God’s love in a way that was different. He said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). He showed them love from God’s perspective, and not only did He preach this love, He proved it. You can’t show or manifest true love if you don’t know Jesus. When you hear someone say, “l can’t please you and displease myself,” such a person is quoting from the Old Testament. But Jesus says no; it’s not about pleasing yourself; it’s about laying down your life for others. It’s about making others happy even at the expense of your own feelings. There’s no greater love than this. Your understanding of this will completely change your life and your commitment to Jesus Christ, and to those for whom He died. Moment of worship: https://loveworldlyrics.com/we-proclaim-your-matchless-name-by-oge-and-loveworld-singers-ippc-2023-praise-service/ CONFESSIONBy the Spirit, I have an understanding of the dimensions of God’s love.

I keep myself in health as I consciously recognize that the Word of God is pure medicine. I meditate on the Word, day and night; thus, I function daily in prosperity, good success, and sound health. I am a well-watered garden. Streams of healing waters flow from me to all in my world. I don’t contract or transmit sickness. The good life is mine. Health is mine. Jesus suffered the shame of dying on the cross so that I may live the life of glory, honor, dignity, and excellence. My body is invigorated by the Spirit of God who lives in me. I give thanks to God for He has made me superior to Satan, his demons, sickness, disease, and infirmity. My mind is not limited or defeated by the circumstances of life because it is inundated with the light of God’s Word. I walk in the consciousness that I’m in oneness with Jesus Christ. I have the life of Christ. That life makes me indestructible and impervious to sickness. Everywhere I go, I influence my world with the healing power of God. Because of me, God’s Spirit is manifested in the world. The Lord God is mighty in me. He has blessed me with everlasting life; a life of grace, truth, and agelessness. My life is a life of ever-increasing glory and peace in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen. Speak in tongues. Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp
