RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL



WEDNESDAY 30 AUGUST


Pastor Chris


HIS NAME, THE WORD, AND THE SPIRIT

 

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6).

 

Colossians 3:17 says, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." Then John 1:3, referring to the Word, says, "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.'" Then we come to Ephesians 5:18; Paul, by the Spirit tells us, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit." Hallelujah!

 

As you study the Scriptures, you find that it's about these three: the Name of Jesus, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. The apostles ministered in the Name of Jesus, with the Word of God, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. That's why they had such extraordinary results. It's the same today. We do all things in His Name, live in and by His Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

The Name of Jesus never fails. Doing all things in His Name means that you live your life every day in and with the consciousness of the power, glory and dominion of His Name.

 

Some people try so hard to succeed through their own might and natural wisdom, yet, true success eludes them. This is because they're not acting on the Word; they're not living the Word. They function from the mind the sense-realm which is grossly limited. Yet, true and lasting success is the result of meditation on the Word of God (Joshua 1:8).

 

Thirdly is the power of the Holy Spirit. If you've been trying to succeed by your own power or ability, it's time to quit the struggle and rely on the strategies of the Spirit and His wisdom to guide you. Our competence-the ability, wisdom and grace by which we function are of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:5). Trust in Him. He's the key to a life of joy, praise, endless victories and extraordinary success.

 

PRAYER


Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in my life, who causes me to be effective, productive and walk in your perfect will. I'm continually filled with the Spirit to effectively communicate the Gospel and impact my world with your divine presence, 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...

🌨️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...
