🔴 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, 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...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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...
