RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL




MONDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2023


SOAR HIGHER 


Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comneth, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit (Jeremiah 17:7-8).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


When someone says to you, "Things are so expensive now; prices have gone up." Smile and say, "I"ve gone higher than the prices. I've ascended beyond inflation." That should always be your mentality.


From experience, we've only known prices of goods and commodities to always keep going higher. The cry has always been that things are getting more expensive. So, if it's happening again, why do you care? Don't let it trouble you, because you're the seed of Abraham. Your life is different.


I found out in my Bible that God's people always soared in hard times. Isaac prospered in the midst of extremely harsh economic conditions (Genesis 26). Don't be troubled; just raise your standard higher; soar higher than the world's market forces. Let your mind soar beyond the country where you live. Think how big God is, and what He can do with and through you.


We shine brighter in the dark. When everything is bright, not everyones light will be noticed. But when it's dark, even the dimmest flicker will be noticed; every light shines in the dark. The Bible says, "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee" (Isaiah 60:2). It's time for you to shine!


The Bible says, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). When inflation skyrockets and the prices of commodities increase, don't cry or complain. It'll only create opportunities for you because your faith will get you the money you require. Your prosperity isn't based on what your company pays you or the available opportunities in your country; your prosperity is a function of who you are: an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ.


            PRAYER


Dear Father, I affirm that I excel beyond inflation and financial uncertainties. Your Word empowers me to flourish regardless of external circumstances, for you are my true source. I am not a victim of the economy of my nation. I am among those creating opportunities for others. I have already overcome the world and its systems, so I am reigning in life, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.


 FURTHER STUDY


Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 


Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 


Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

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 ...
