*THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF THE WORD OF GOD AND MOST CHRISTIANS ONLY KNOW ONE*

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF THE WORD OF GOD AND MOST CHRISTIANS ONLY KNOW ONE

🔴 That's why they can quote scripture for years and nothing moves.

The Bible is not broken.

Their understanding of how it works is.

🔴 The Greek language in which the New Testament was written has two distinct words for "word."

🔴 The first is *logos* — the written, revealed Word of God.

It refers to the totality of God's expressed thought, His character, His nature, His plans and purposes as captured in Scripture.

When John 1:1 says

> "In the beginning was the Word,"

that is logos.

🔴 When Romans 10:17 says

> "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,"

that is logos.

🔴 Logos is the written Word that is available to every believer who opens a Bible.

The second word is *rhema.*

🔴 *Rhema* is the active, living, personally addressed Word — God speaking a specific thing to a specific person for a specific situation at a specific time.

Both are real.

Both are necessary.

🔴 But they operate differently.

🔴 And until you understand the difference, you will keep wondering why the Bible seems to work for some people and not for others.

*So how does logos become rhema?*

🔴 Through meditation.

🔴 Through consistent, sustained, verbal engagement with the written Word.

🔴 When you take a scripture and you stay with it — muttering it, speaking it softly, turning it over in your spirit, praying it back to God — something happens.

🔴 The general word begins to illuminate specifically.

🔴 A verse you have read fifty times suddenly becomes alive in a way it never was before.

🔴 It drops from your head into your spirit.

🔴 It stops being information and becomes revelation.

🔴 That is the moment logos becomes rhema. That is the moment the sword of the Spirit is fully drawn.

Ephesians 6:17 calls the sword of the Spirit "the rhema of God" — not the logos.

🔴 *The weapon you use in spiritual warfare is not the Bible in your hand.

🔴 It is the rhema in your spirit.

🔴 The written word becomes the wielded weapon when you meditate until it becomes personal.

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 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...
