RICH IN CHRIST

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

The Word of God is clear: poverty is not from God; therefore, you should never accept the message of poverty. Poverty is inconsistent with our divine nature and heritage in Christ. The Bible shows clearly that the Lord Jesus became poor, in contrast to His true wealth, for one purpose: that you might become rich.

That’s what we read in our opening scripture. It wasn’t referring to spiritual riches; the Lord Jesus was never poor spiritually. The context is financial and material blessings. He laid aside all that belonged to Him so that through His substitutionary work, you would come into prosperity and financial abundance.

Some may say that God isn’t interested in making His children rich, but the Word already declares His will. In Christ, you’re an heir of God. All things are yours. Some may choose not to enjoy them, but they should never claim that poverty is God’s plan. The blessing of God brings prosperity, supply, and supernatural advantage.

Let’s for a moment review and ponder the magnitude of what belongs to us, our riches in Christ, as stated in Ephesians 3:8. Paul, by the Spirit, writes, “To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out]” (AMPC).

Our riches are unsearchable, beyond quantification, exhaustless, boundless, and incalculable. This is the kind of wealth you’ve been called to enjoy. It’s Kingdom wealth—superior to earthly economics—and it’s yours now in Christ Jesus. Therefore, refuse to think lack. Refuse to talk scarcity. Live with the consciousness of your divine inheritance.

Every so often, say to yourself, “I have unsearchable riches in Christ. All things are mine. I walk in abundance, and I give lavishly into the Gospel for the advancement of the Kingdom.” Hallelujah!

PRAYER 

Dear Father, thank you for the unsearchable riches of Christ that belong to me. I walk in divine supply, abundance, and I’m empowered to give, to bless, and to cause the Gospel to spread everywhere. I reject lack and embrace the fullness of your provision, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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...

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 ...
