WE REIGN WITH HIM 
(Seated Far Above Principalities and Powers)

TO THE BIBLE - John 20:17 
“Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”
 
LET’S TALK
Have you ever had an older sibling step in when someone tried to mess with you Suddenly, the whole situation changes. Now imagine that your “Big Brother” is Jesus. Well, that’s the reality!

At different times during His earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus defined His relationship with His disciples. They had been His servants and followers, but shortly before His death, He said to them: ”You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you” (John 15:14-15).
 
But when He rose from the dead, He said to Mary, ”Go to My brethren, and say to them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” (John 20:17): He referred to them as “His brethren”, for He had brought them into sonship with the Father. In John 1:14,Jesus is called the only begotten of the Father, but after His resurrection, the Bible no longer refers to him as the ”only begotten” of the Father but as “the first begotten from the dead” (Revelation 1:5). He’s the first to be born again.
 
This means that when we were born again, we became God’s begotten children just like Jesus. We became His brothers and sisters. He is the firstborn among a special race of super beings, and we’re not second to Him, since He’s given us the right of the firstborn by making us joint-heirs together with Himself (Romans 8:17). 

Thus, not only is Jesus your Lord and Saviour, but He’s also your “Big Brother.” He’s got your back in every situation, from exam halls to difficult conversations; thus, no devil hatched out of hell can bully or mesmerise you. No pressure at school, no peer influence, no fear of the future has the right to intimidate you. You’re seated now with Christ in the place of authority, where you reign with Him, far above all principalities and powers. Yes, He’s our Lord and Master, yet He’s not ashamed to call us  
brethren. Praise God!

John 10:11-12: Psalm 23:1-4
 
Pray
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into your wonderful family, where I'm bold to call you Father, and call Jesus my Lord, Saviour, Friend and brother! Thank You for making me your heir and a joint-heir with Christ. Now I know that everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to me; therefore, I refuse to live as a servant, but through the knowledge of your Word, I position myself rightly to live as an heir of God, in Jesus'Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...

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...
