🔴 Clapping is neither praise nor worship.

But clapping is not wrong. Clapping is applause, a sign of approval. It's not spiritual communication with God.

🔴 You've heard people say, "Let’s clap for Jesus"...

I didn’t say to do it, but you’ve heard it. Spiritually, it makes no sense. Clapping is not praise. It is not worship. It’s time to understand this.

🔴 Let’s talk about the spirituality of ministry — especially music.

This is crucial. Kenneth E. Hagin, a seasoned prophet and teacher of faith, had an encounter with the Lord that confirmed this truth.

🔴 In the early ’90s, he had a vision...

While praying for their annual convention, Jesus appeared to him and said:

— Clapping is neither praise nor worship.

— Many things done in church are assumed to be spiritual, but they are not.

— The Lord said: “You’ve gone as far as you can go.”

Because it took too long to get that revelation.

🔴 He couldn’t correct it in the Body of Christ... but we can.

For someone like me (Pastor Chris), it was easy to catch this truth while still young and align it with God’s Word.

🔴 Many thought he was saying clapping is wrong. No!

He was saying: Put clapping in its place. It is not worship or praise. It is a natural response of approval or excitement.

🔴 For example:

When a miracle happens and people clap, they are not praising God. They are reacting emotionally. But they often forget to actually praise or worship God.

🔴 We worship God with WORDS.

We worship Him by lifting our hands. The Bible says:

Psalm 141:2 — “Let the lifting up of my hands be as the evening sacrifice.”

🔴 There’s more clapping than lifting of hands in churches today.

Why? Because most believers were never taught to lift their hands. Even those who do lift hands often don’t know why.

🔴 1 Timothy 2:8 (KJV) — “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

🔴 This was a prayer of worship.

Paul emphasized lifting holy hands. But many do it just because others do it or because the worship leader says so — not because they understand its biblical meaning.

🔴 So what happened?

People clapped in the same way they lifted hands — without understanding. Just following the flow, not the Word.... click on the link below to study the message: You are not a Divine Accident by Pastor Chris

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...

The light of God is in you, in your spirit. You bear the perfections of Christ. Hallelujah! The Bible says, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). You’re truly the living tabernacle of God! Christ is alive in you. We are the last generation; the generation called to manifest His glory in the earth. This is what the earth has been waiting for. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” We’re in office; we’ve taken our place of dominion, impacting our world with the glory of God.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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 ...
