💫THE INCONTROVERTIBLE CERTAINTY OF HIS DEITY

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (1 John 5:20).
Many assume that if they had seen the Lord Jesus physically, when He walked the earth, they would have recognised Him instantly and loved Him immediately. Yet, the Scriptures reveal something striking: those who saw Him face to face didn’t automatically believe in Him. The Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes watched His ministry, heard His words, and witnessed His miracles but still rejected His identity.

The prophet Isaiah already prophesied, saying, “...he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him” (Isaiah 53:2). The Lord Jesus didn’t come with outward features that compelled men to acknowledge His deity. No wonder many stumbled at His claims.

This is evident even in the circumstances of His arrest. Judas had to identify Him to the priests’ officers with a sign because the Master wasn’t visually distinct from His disciples (Matthew 26:48-49). Though His influence was widely known, His appearance didn’t separate Him from the crowd.

The Jewish leaders insisted they didn’t know His origin and therefore refused His message (John 9:29). Even after the miracle of the man born blind, they chose unbelief over truth. The healed man’s testimony was clear, yet they answered him with contempt and dismissed him completely (John 9:30-34).

Yet, Jesus was truly the Son of God as He claimed. He was eternal life encased in a human body. He was God’s love tabernacled in human flesh. Even more sobering is the fact that His rejection didn’t come only from religious leaders. It was present in His own household. The Bible states plainly, “For neither did his brethren believe in him” (John 7:5).

Nonetheless, none of these reactions changed His identity. He was and remains God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the True Light that lights all men. The certainty of His deity is immutable and incontrovertible. He’s exactly who He claimed to be: the Christ, the true God and eternal life. When you know Him by revelation, your conviction becomes firm, your faith becomes unshakable, and your life becomes a living testimony of His lordship. 

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for unveiling Christ to my heart by your Spirit. My conviction is established in the truth of who the Lord Jesus is, and I walk in the certainty of His lordship and divine identity. My faith is strengthened, my understanding is enlightened, and I live as a bold witness of this reality, 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...

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 ...
