THE WONDER OF WONDERS
 
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (John 6:62).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. 

Did you know that the biological siblings of the Lord Jesus didn’t believe in Him throughout His earthly ministry, even after His resurrection? But when He ascended before their very eyes, everything changed. The ascension was an undeniable confirmation of His divine origin and identity. It was the wonder of wonders. 
 
He had told the Jews that His ascension would be the proof of who He truly was when they questioned His claim to be the Son of God. He said to them, “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?” (John 6:62). He pointed them to the ascension as an unmistakable evidence of His deity.

After the resurrection, some disciples still doubted. But on the day of His ascension, and they watched as He suddenly levitated and was taken up into heaven in full view, they had no more argument. Every mouth was stopped. What a moment! The One who was crucified and buried, the very One they thought was dead, ascended bodily into heaven!

This was when His siblings believed that He was the Christ. They didn’t return home. They followed the disciples to the upper room and received the Holy Spirit, including Mary, their biological mother (read Acts 1:9-14). 
 
Suddenly, they realised the One who ate with them, and lived under the same roof with them, was God Himself. His ascension seals His deity and assures us of His return. This was the wonder of wonders and remains a vital part of the Gospel and the Faith that we hold so dear.

PRAYER

How glorious you are, O Lord! My faith in you is eternal, for you’re the only true God, proven by your resurrection from the dead and glorious ascension into heaven, where you live forevermore. I proclaim your majesty and live with the consciousness that you reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Acts 1:9-11 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. [10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; [11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

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.

Psalm 20:7 says "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God". The major problem with some people today is that they trust so much in their wealth and riches and have lost sight of who truly matters in their affairs, because they think it’s all about money. Never let anything take your attention away from the Lord. Let the Spirit have pre-eminence in your life. Make it a principle for yourself, and one to live by, that you’ll trust the Lord only and always.... click on the link below to study yesterday's  👇👇👇 https://thekingsnation20.blogspot.com/2025/02/realitycheck_11.html
