KINGDOM VALUES AND PRINCIPLES


Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon (Exodus 20:26).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


The scriptures help us to gain insights into God's thinking and character. Take for example God's instruction to the children of Israel regarding the construction of the altar. He instructed them not to build altars requiring steps to ascend. Why? It’s simply because He didn't want anyone who may be watching from below to see their nakedness: “Don't use steps to climb to my Altar because that will expose your nakedness” (Exodus 20:26 MSG).


It illustrates God's attention to modesty and decency, even in architectural details. Such instructions reveal His character and way of thinking, and as such, a caution against cultural trends and fashion that tend to promote indecency or compromise personal dignity. Don’t adorn or condone indecent, revealing outfits. Uphold values of modesty and respect in your dressing.


Let the Word of God be your guiding light. By choosing to dress modestly, we not only honour God but also set a positive example for others. It's about making choices that align with the principles of God's Word and bring glory to His Name.


Always remember that, as Christians, we have a higher life and uphold higher standards. There’re things we don’t do, places we don’t go, and things we don’t say. The Bible says, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate...” (2 Corinthians 6:17). 


So, be different; you’re a child of the Kingdom with a different life. You were sanctified by the Spirit; He’s separated you and declared you holy and undefiled. Therefore, let everything about your life glorify Christ. Maintain the values and principles of the Kingdom.


          PRAYER 


Dear Father, thank you for your Word, which guides me in all aspects of life. I uphold the values of our Kingdom in all that I do, expressing righteousness and reflecting the character of Christ in my daily life. I stand firm in my commitment to honouring you. I embody and practice the principles, values and teachings of the Word by your Spirit, and live according to your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


1 Timothy 2:9-10 NIV;  I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.


Exodus 20:26 NIV; And do not go up to my altar on steps, or your private parts may be exposed.’


1 Peter 3:3-4 NIV; Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.


Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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...
