YOU’RE CHRIST’S PROPERTY

(You Belong to the Lord Jesus Christ)

📖TO THE BIBLE

Galatians 2:20 NASB

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

▶️LET’S TALK

You might have heard Christians say: “I’ve given my life to Christ.” It’s a total surrender of oneself to Christ. The declaration of Apostle Paul in Galatians 2:20 shows one of the greatest revelations of the new creation—the “you” that existed before Christ has ceased to live. The life of the old “you” has been replaced with God’s divine life, and you now live a carefree life because you’ve given Christ the right to rule and reign over your life.

Though this happens at the point of salvation, not many of God’s children walk in the consciousness of this reality. If you’re born again, you no longer own your life because you’ve been bought with a price; you’re therefore to glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20). It’s now your responsibility to learn through the Word, how He wants you to live.

This is what John the Baptist meant when he said: “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). It means Christ must have pre-eminence because He is Lord over your life. Those who allow Christ to have the pre-eminence in their lives are those who have truly yielded to the Holy Ghost. They live above the world and its system because Christ is risen in them.

Make a conscious decision today to give Christ His due place in your life. Refuse to hold anything back from Him because He’s able to make you, and help you accomplish a lot more than you could do on your own. This is the secret to living in consistent victory, dominion, health and prosperity—living for Christ!

▶️ GO DEEPER:

1 Corinthians 3:23; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

🗣 SPEAK

I’m crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me because the life I now live in the body, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. He’s my Lord, my King and my all. Christ is my life, in Him I live and move and have my being. Hallelujah!

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...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
