*THE HEAVENLY DEFENCE*

_(Jesus Is Our Chief Counsel)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*1 John 2:1*
_“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”_

*LET’S TALK*

Imagine being called into the principal’s office for something you didn’t do. Your heart is racing. Then a teacher walks in and says, *“She’s innocent; I know the full story.”* That relief? That’s what Jesus does for you!

I’m always so inspired by the depth of the Father’s love for us. He sent Jesus to die for us, raised Him from the dead, and appointed Him as our advocate against the devil, who is described in Scripture as the accuser of God’s people. That’s why John said *”the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down*” (Revelation 12:10).

Each time the devil tries to accuse you and make you feel undeserving of God’s blessings, Jesus, your advocate with the Father, speaks in your defence—He pleads your case! What a blessing! The Bible says His blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24). His blood continually speaks on your behalf, washing you clean from all unrighteousness and every stain of sin (1 John 1:79) so you can keep running your race of faith with a clear conscience.

The Father ordained Jesus to be your advocate—counsel for the defence. With Him on your side, it’s impossible for you to be defeated or disadvantaged. Even when you feel embarrassed about a mistake in school or with your friends, the enemy may throw his darts of condemnation at you and try to get you to feel guilty and inferior before God, but all you need do is laugh him to scorn and say, *“Jesus, my Advocate with the Father, has justified me and presented me holy, unblameable and unreproveable before the Father.”*

Don’t ever get into an argument with the devil when he comes to you with his railing accusations. Just be conscious of your identity as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, who also is your advocate before the Father.

*GO DEEPER*

*Romans 8:33-34* Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. *34* Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

*Romans 5:1 WNT* "Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

*PRAY*

_Precious Lord Jesus, thank you for being my advocate with the Father! Thank you for your grace, mercy and love by which I live a life of glory, free from sin, guilt and condemnation. Thank you for your blood that cleanses from all unrighteousness! Thank you for your death, burial and resurrection through which I’ve been presented holy, unblameable and unreproveable in your sight. Amen._

 *DAILY BIBLE READING*

*ONE YEAR*
Acts 15:36-16:1-15, Esther 8-10

*TWO YEAR*
Luke 6:12-19, Deuteronomy 30

*ACT*
If any sense of condemnation arises today, stay unruffled; just smile and say, *“Jesus is my advocate; I’m justified and free!”*

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
