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.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
