HIS JUSTICE ALWAYS PREVAILS


No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD (Isaiah 54:17). 


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


In Esther 3, the Bible tells us the story of Mordecai, a Jew, and Haman, one of the king's officials who had risen to a position of great honour. The Bible described Haman the Agagite as "the enemy of the Jews", a wicked man who harboured intense animosity towards Mordecai and the Jewish people.


Haman, being wealthy, assured the king he would personally finance the operation of annihilating the Jews. He deceived the king into believing that the Jews were a threat to the kingdom's stability. However, by God's divine providence, Haman's evil plans ultimately backfired, and it was he, Haman, who eventually got hanged on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. 


The Bible says, "The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it" (Psalm 37:32-34 NKJV). The immutable truth of Scripture assures that the “Hamans” of this world and their likes would ultimately face God's righteous judgment.


God's justice will always prevail over the schemes of the wicked such that the fate they intend for others becomes their lot. The Bible says in Psalm 125:3, “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous....” 


It’s also one of the reasons we pray for fellow Christians, ministers of the Gospel, and Christian leaders around the world to be protected and shielded from wicked and unreasonable men as they carry out their works of righteousness. Always pray for pastors to be shielded from all evildoers, and affirm that they’re equipped with wisdom, strength and discernment as they lead God’s flock and propagate the Gospel.


There’re Christians who are courageously spreading the Gospel in places and territories that are still hostile to the message of Jesus Christ. Always pray that such Christians be strengthened and remain resilient, guided by the Holy Spirit away from harm, and to continue to be effective instruments of His love and truth. Hallelujah!


             PRAYER 


Dear Father, I pray for pastors, fellow Christians, ministers of the Gospel, and Christian activists around the world today that your mighty hand of protection rests upon them; they’re imbued with divine wisdom, discernment, and courage as they stand for righteousness and truth in the face of any kind of opposition. I pray that you strengthen their resolve and embolden them to continue their work with unwavering faith and determination, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


Psalm 91:9-12; Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.


Psalm 89:13-14; Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

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...
