Rhapsody of Realities, November 16th 2024, HIS WORKS CONTINUE THROUGH US

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12). What we just read are some of the most extraordinary words from the lips of the Master. He said those who believe in Him, not only will they do the same works that He did, but they’ll do greater works. This is only possible because Jesus has ascended to the Father, and through the Holy Spirit, His work continues through us. Recall what the Scripture says in lsaiah 53:10, “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” This verse speaks prophetically of the Church, the body of Christ, as the seed of Jesus Christ. It tells us that after His vicarious sacrifice, the Lord Jesus will see His seed—the Church—and we shall prolong His days. Hallelujah! That’s what’s going on; Jesus multiplies Himself through the Church today; He continues His mission through us. In Acts 1:1, Luke writes to Theophilus about “…all that Jesus began both to do and teach.” The key word here is “began”; Jesus started the work, but we continue it. We are the extension of His ministry, teaching, impacting and transforming lives as He did. The same Spirit that anointed Jesus for His work resides in us, enabling us to continue and expand upon what He started. Through the Holy Spirit, we’re empowered to reach more people and impact more lives for the Kingdom of God. Acts 1:8 says, “But 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.” The Church is the extension of Christ on earth, living in His power and authority, fulfilling His mission. This is a calling of great honour and responsibility. We’re His hands, His feet, and His voice in this world, carrying out the will of the Father just as Jesus did. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege of being a part of the body of Christ. I’m forever grateful that through the Holy Spirit, I’m empowered to do your will and establish your righteousness. I walk in this calling with boldness and faith, knowing that my life glorifies you. Thank you for making me an extension of your Kingdom in the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age… (Hebrews 5:13-14). Daily Affirmations: All things are working for my good. I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and I take possession of my inheritance in Christ. My health, strength, and wealth are assured. Christ is mingled with my spirit. So, I refuse to be sick any day, anytime. I am invigorated with strength always. I’m a victor in Christ Jesus. Fear, doubt, and unbelief have no place in me, for my faith in God and in His eternal Word is the victory that overcomes the world! Divinity is tabernacled in my physical body! I’m a new creation, not subject to the elements of this world. I live a transcendent life! I live above the limitations of the human body and the physical realm through the ability of God’s Spirit. Health, peace, joy, and the glorious life are my present-hour inheritance. I am a king and a priest unto God and my words are full of power and authority; therefore I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I can never be small, the Spirit of God is magnifying my voice and influence around the nations of the world. The anointing of God’s Spirit has set me apart for greatness, causing me to spread and make progress on every side. In my business, job, career, finances, academics, family, and in all that concerns me. I have sound knowledge and understanding. I have strength, might, and power. I speak excellent and princely things. I have an understanding heart. The opening of my lips are for right things. My words are all righteous. I speak the truth always. God has given me wisdom. There is nothing beyond me. There is nothing I cannot handle. I have a wise and discerning heart. Christ is my excellent wisdom. Nothing and no one can hurt or come against me successfully, for I have the unconquerable life of God. Satan and the powers of darkness are under my feet; therefore, I have nothing to fear. The impulses of fear have been completely disabled from my life. Irrespective of the situation, I’m bold and courageous, speaking the Word in faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 13th 2024, A SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD 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 a child of God, you have a new nature. This is fundamental knowledge for every Christian, yet many haven’t fully grasped it. When you were born again, it wasn’t just a religious experience; it was a supernatural transformation. Something incredible took place in your spirit; a new man with a new nature came into being. The human life you were born with was supplanted by the life and nature of God in Jesus Christ. This is the true meaning of being born again. The very life and nature of God that Jesus brought to this world, the organic and existential attributes of divinity, was imparted to your spirit. This is why Jesus came. He came to give you a new life, a supernatural life.This is what 2 Corinthians 5:17 means: “…If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” There’s been a supernatural transformation now that you’re born again. Therefore, it makes no difference what obtained in your natural life prior to your being born again; there’s a new you! Whether it was a disease, an infirmity, or any other limitation—now that you’re born again, there’s been a change. The old “you” wasn’t renovated or revamped but recreated after the image of God that created you (Colossians 3:10). You were recreated to look like God and to function like Him. Glory to God! No wonder He says in Ephesians 4:24, “…put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” his new you is created in righteousness and true holiness, perfected in Christ.There’s nothing that’s supposed to be in you that isn’t in you now. Also, there’s nothing that shouldn’t be in you that’s in you. Now you can understand why He says, “all things have become new”; everything in your life is new now that you’re born again. It’s crucial that you know this truth. Your acknowledgement of it activates its power in your life as the Bible says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” (Philemon 1:6). Hallelujah! *PRAYER** Dear Father, I acknowledge that I’m a new creature in Christ; old things, including sickness, disease, infirmity, and all kinds of limitations have passed away, and all things have become new. I walk in the knowledge of this truth, and its power is fully activated in my life to live the transcendent life and walk in the fullness of my new nature in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. **FURTHER STUDY:** Colossians 3:8-10* But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: *Romans 6:4* Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. *1 Corinthians 6:11* And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Rhapsody of Realities, November 9th 2024, ALWAYS A GLORIOUS DAY

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Some people have never truly experienced the day-to-day triumphant and supernatural Iife that God has called them to live. For them, Christianity is just another religion, marked by mediocrity and a lack of results. But I refused to accept that kind of life from the moment I was born again. I made a decision very early in my life to put the Word of God to work and live the divine life as exemplified by Jesus Christ for us in the Word. Since I made that choice, the results have been undeniably outstanding and astounding. Thus, I’m confident to tell everyone “It works! The Word works!” I’m living proof that it does. Glory to God! I wasn’t going to settle for a religious experience, no, I saw from the Scriptures that we are ordained to win always. We walk in blessings every day and dispense the same to our world. It’s part of our heritage in Christ. We are the blessed, and we are the blessing. Hallelujah! How could anyone know this and have a blue day? Some believe that the transcendent life ended with the apostles in Bible days; no! We’re living in the reality of the Bible days right now. Don’t think or say, “Today is just not my day.” Every day is your day—your day of victory, dominion and favour. When you wake up in the morning, declare, “Today is my day! I’m excited about today!” Having received the Holy Spirit, you should never have a single day of defeat or despair. Everything that comes your way is an opportunity for progress and promotion. Every challenge is a stepping stone to greater victories. Have this consciousness and enjoy a glorious day every day! *PRAYER**Dear Father, I choose to live by your Word, experiencing the supernatural every day. I walk in health, prosperity, victory, success and joy. I’m moving forward and upward, making progress, always triumphant and victorious, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.* *FURTHER STUDY:**Acts 20:32*And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. *2 Corinthians 2:14*Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. *Psalms 68:19*Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah. READ ALSO: Rhapsody of Realities, November 8th 2024, HIS WORD—A GUIDING LIGHT Daily Affirmation. The love of God is shed abroad in my heart and I am manifesting this love, reaching out to my world with love. I refuse to allow anger, bitterness, and hatred to take its root in my heart. My life is the expression of the Father’s will; as I seek to do only those things that are honorable and pleasing to Him, my increase, progress, and prosperity are evident for all to see. 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 do not struggle nor respond in fear because God had not given unto me the spirit of fear. I’m eternally victorious in Christ. I have power over crises; I’m prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere. I live above, and far beyond the distracting elements of this world, because I live in Christ! My life is the testimony of God’s grace. I have been brought into a place of wealth untold. I am enjoying all that belongs to me in Christ. I live and walk in prosperity even as goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. I carry blessings with me everywhere. Whatever projects that I am involved with prosper and are highly profitable. My life is exuberant with joy and I walk in the manifestations of God’s righteousness. I walk conscious of my heritage in Christ. Sickness has no place in my body. I thrive in health every day. God’s goodness and mercy surround me like a shield, and my life is perfect and pleasant. The life of God inundates every fiber of my being, making me impregnable to sickness and disease. From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, eternal life is at work in me! I belong to Christ; therefore, I’m the seed of Abraham, graced for greatness and ordained to be fruitful and productive in every good work. My life is for the glory of God and I reign and rule by the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. I launch out today in faith, manifesting God’s goodness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Rhapsody Of Realities, November 6Th 2024,Our Power Of Attorney To Use The Name
Daily Devotions

Rhapsody of Realities, November 6th 2024,OUR POWER OF ATTORNEY TO USE THE NAME

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all (Acts 3:16). When we pray today, we don’t pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus as that would be incorrect because it suggests using His power of attorney towards Himself, which makes no sense. The power of attorney Jesus gave us is to act in His stead, to use His Name as though He were the one speaking or making a request. Imagine you have given your lawyer the power of attorney to act on your behalf. This authority isn’t used to address you, but to interact with others on your behalf. Similarly, Jesus has given us His Name to represent Him. So, when we say, “In the Name of Jesus,” it carries the same weight as if Jesus Himself were speaking. This is one of the greatest honours we have as Christians. During our Healing Streams Live Healing Services, when I declare, “I bring you healing in the Name of Jesus, it’s not a simple statement; it’s a declaration of His authority and power. It doesn’t matter where the people are in this world or the situation they’re facing; when we use the Name of Jesus, every hindrance is removed, and the power of God is released. His Name is an instrument. Hallelujah! If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, for example, you can kill that cancer using the Name of Jesus. Place your hand over that area and say, “In the Name of Jesus, I command the cancer to die and pass out of my body.” If you do it the first time and nothing seems to happen, don’t despair; refuse to be moved. Remember, “They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy” (Jonah 2:8). You can declare repeatedly that it’s dead until it dematerializes. If you’ve been feeling intense pressure in your head, tell it to loosen up in Jesus’ Name! Perhaps you’re usually attacked by fear, to the point you don’t like being alone in the house at night; it’s time to put an end to it. Even now, address that spirit of fear, say, “In the Name of Jesus, fear, I rebuke you; get out.” Then start declaring, “I refuse to fear; I’m bold in the Name of Jesus!” Maybe you’ve been job-hunting for a long time now to no avail, you can decide and say, “Today, I’m going out to have the best job I’ve ever had in my life, in the Name of Jesus” and you’ll get it. Hallelujah! The power of attorney given to us to use the Name of Jesus is absolute and ineffable. No circumstance, situation, or demon can gainsay, withstand, or refute that power. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the power and authority of the mighty Name of Jesus. I stand in the victory and dominion of that Name against circumstances and the forces of darkness. Satan’s influence and manoeuvres over God’s people are frustrated in the Name of Jesus, and the Church revels in the dominion and triumph of Christ, supremely blessed and favoured, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:|| Mark 16:17-18 AMPCAnd these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 17 They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well. || || John 14:12-14Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it]. || || Philippians 2:9-11Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; 11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I am a king, and my words are full of power and authority; therefore, I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I am not a victim in this life. I am born and called to be a victor. I enjoy extraordinary strength by the Holy Ghost and divine enablement in my inner man. My life is a life of ever-increasing glory and peace. There is no turmoil here because I flourish in God’s rest. I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life. God’s Word is alive in me; therefore, I cannot die. Every time I receive the Word of God, it goes into my spirit and permeates my body. I belong to a deathless race that enjoys divine health, glowing daily with God’s beauty. I’m an associate of the God-kind, in vital, inseparable oneness and union with divinity. I’m superior to satan, and I’m above the forces of darkness, because I’ve been brought into the God-kind, a divine pantheon. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, holy and irreproachable in God’s sight. I’m living in health 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead lives in me; it’s impossible for me to be brought down by sickness. No matter what the devil throws at me, I stand strong

Senators Plan to Distribute 10 Billion Copies of Rhapsody of Realities in Reach out world day

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy Church publishes a devotional magazine called Rhapsody of Realities every month with the goal of promoting constructive change. Rhapsody of Realities is a life guide that gives readers a daily view on God’s word, according to Sen. Omueya Dafinone (APC-Delta), who made this statement.

Thomas Joel-Onowakpo (PDP-Delta) also spoke, stating that he was aware of the transforming work being done by Christ Embassy Church.

As a result, he encouraged everyone to read it, particularly the young people who will have access to it.

Chiemeka stated that the newspaper will be released on a monthly basis and that it was presently being translated into several dialects, which, when added, would bring the total number of translations to twelve thousand. According to him, the newspaper also appealed to a wide range of demographics because it had sections for children, beginning readers, teens, and adults. This national launch day is being held for that reason. We want everyone to be aware that we will be delivering 10 billion copies worldwide on December 2nd,” he stated. Ms. Comfort Esung, a Corps Commander with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), stated in her remarks that the publication should be interpreted with confidence. Esung stated that FRSC is prepared to collaborate with Christ Embassy Church to distribute the book. According to her, the publications could be efficiently distributed through a number of channels that the commission has, including first responders, Special Corps Marshals, and corps members. According to Dr. Chris Iyam, Executive Director of CYPA-Africa, his life has altered since he first learned about the publication in 2008. He claimed that lawmakers would not make mistakes in any laws passed in the nation if they started their days by reading Rhapsody of Realities. According to Iyam, the national launch, which was attended by 109 senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives at the national assembly building, was a calculated move. He asserts that the nation’s millions of destiny are within the national assembly’s members’ grasp.
