RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL




ALWAYS IN VICTORY


SUNDAY, APRIL 21ST 2024


Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ… (2 Corinthians 2:14)


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME


In 1 Corinthians 15:57, Paul pens something similar to what we just read in our theme scripture. It says, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” We’re always in victory. This is a result of who we are in Christ and what we know—our knowledge of His Word. 


Who are we? We’re more than conquerors; we’re born of God: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Hallelujah! 


What do we know? “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). We know that come what may; no matter the situation or where we find ourselves; nothing can be to our disadvantage. 


How could we lose with the Holy Spirit in us? Consider David who didn’t even have the Holy Spirit living in him as we do in Christ; he never lost a battle in his day. By the Holy Spirit upon him, and his faith in the Abrahamic covenant, he won every battle. 


Our Lord Jesus already won victory over the world for us, and as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Keep these truths in your mind and meditate on them continually. 


The Word says in Colossians 3:17, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus….” Doing all things in His Name means living in His Name. That means you’re living for Him, in His authority. Therefore, defeat, failure, and poverty can’t be a part of your life. 


This consciousness should stir extraordinary boldness in your spirit such that you’re totally unruffled by any crisis.Everything in life is subject to the power and authority of His Name and because you live in His Name, you’ll always win. Glory to God!


CONFESSION

Thank you heavenly Father for my heritage in Christ! I’m always in victory; everything I do prospers, because I have the life of God in me and I’ve overcome the world. Thank you for giving me the Name of Jesus, to use and to live by. By the power and authority of that Name, I make progress with giant strides today, with all of nature, and everything that exists, working together in my favour, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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...

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
