*FROM FAITH TO FAITH*

_For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith_ *(Romans 1:17)*

Understand this: the life you’ve been called to live is a life of faith, from beginning to end. Faith isn't something you switch on when there’s a need; it’s your daily walk. You were born into it. The moment you were born again and became the righteousness of God, you began a life that’s sustained, expressed and advanced by faith. This is your nature.

Some misunderstand what it means to live by faith. It doesn’t mean to sit idle, doing nothing and expecting things to happen. That’s not faith. Faith is active. Faith produces action. Faith responds to the Word.

When the Bible says the just shall live by faith, it means the righteous regulate their lives by the Word of God and not on the basis of sensory perception—what you see, feel, or hear. You look at everything from the standpoint of the Word. That’s living by faith. Your outlook, your choices, your actions are governed by the Word.

Faith compels you to act in line with God’s truth, regardless of circumstances. Also, faith doesn’t exclude responsibility. The Word teaches diligence and productivity. Faith doesn’t make you idle; it makes you effective. It’s the reason James talked about faith and works—corresponding action: *“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone”* (James 2:17). 

You’re the righteous, and the righteous live by faith. Therefore, keep growing your faith by learning more of God’s Word and putting it to work. The Christian journey is from faith to faith, grace to grace, and from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

_Righteous and Holy Father, I thank you for making me your righteousness and for the life of faith you’ve given me. I walk in the light of your Word, making decisions and taking actions based on your truth. My faith produces results; I manifest your glory today, everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*2 Corinthians 5:7* (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

*Hebrews 11:6* But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

*James 2:17 AMPC* So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).

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...
