*HE OBEYED WHEN WE COULDN’T ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME*

HE OBEYED WHEN WE COULDN’T ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Romans 5:18-19 NIV “Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.”

Under the Old Testament, God’s blessings for the children of Israel were based on their obedience to the Law of Moses. They had to keep every part of that Law just to enjoy the benefits of the covenant God struck with Abraham. However, they couldn’t keep His laws and, as such, couldn’t enjoy the blessings. Thank God Jesus came – He made things different for us today in the New Testament. According to Colossians 1:12, you’ve been made a sharer of the blessings and benefits of the Kingdomlife reserved for all God’s children. This happened the moment you were born again.

You don’t have to try to “obey” the Law for God to bless you today; you were born blessed (Ephesians 1:3). Christ already fulfilled all the Law; you’re the fruit of His obedience: “...By one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous” (Romans 5:19). Through the obedience of Christ, God’s gift: His blessing of righteousness was given to you.

Nowhere in the New Testament are you told to “obey God” or to “obey the Law”; rather you’re called His obedient child: “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance” (1 Peter 1:14 KJV). We’re described as having “obeyed” God’s Word of truth from the heart (Romans 6:17). So our blessings, our inheritance in Christ, aren’t preconditioned on obedience; rather, they are our birthright!

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

🌨️RHAPSODY OF REALITIES🌨️

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...
