TO THE BIBLE:

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in (Isaiah 26:2)

👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD

━━━━━━━━━

I'll like you to observe two things that qualify a nation to come into the gates of God. The first is righteousness. The second is that the nation must have and walk in the truth. What nation is this custodian and observer of the truth?

God's Word is Truth and His truth was given to us in Christ Jesus. Thus the Church of Christ is this nation that keeps the truth. Paul writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3:15 called the house of God which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. We belong in the Church which is the custodian of the truth. The Church is a righteous nation. We're God-like in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24)

The Bible says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21) Everyone who has accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour has been made righteous.

In Ephesians 4:25 (AMPC), Paul highlights that we were created in true righteousness and holiness And put on the new nature (the regenate self) created in God's image (God-like) in true righteousness and holiness. If you walk with sin consciousness you wouldn't know that you're righteous. But His gate is opened to the righteous ones-the Church! What a blessing!

Peter corroborate this in his first epistle when he called us a holy wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC)

We're a peculiar nation, born in righteousness, producing fruits of righteousness and proclaiming His truth in righteousness.

PRAYER

Righteous Father, your peace and prosperity reign in the nations of the world, as we your Church, proclaim your truth and righteousness around the world. We overturn the structures, system and schemes of satanic propagation of deception and fear across the nations and we declare that your will be done in all the earth, as it is in heaven, in Jesus Name. Amen.

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...

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity. That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
