*JESUS, OUR WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR*
*(The Four Titles Of Jesus)

📖 *_"...His name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6 RSV)._*

Our opening verse is a profound revelation given to Prophet Isaiah by God Almighty. God graciously reveals the coming of a child and discloses a list of names by which He shall be called. First and foremost is the title *"Wonderful Counsellor,"* which, in the original Hebrew text, means *"Extraordinary Strategist."* This reveals to us the ministry of the Holy Spirit, as shown in John 14:16 AMPC.

In the grand tapestry of God's prophetic plan, we witness this child born into the world, maturing into a son, and ultimately facing death. However, the story doesn't end there. After His death, burial, and resurrection, He comes to minister to us throughout the Church Age. How, you may ask? By the Holy Spirit, the extraordinary counsellor, who is our strategic guide, helping us win in life.

At the end of the Church Age, the Lord Jesus returns to deliver Israel as the *"Mighty God": "Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ"* (Titus 2:13). During the Armageddon, Israel becomes the battlefield. The Jews go through the Great Tribulation, and many flee from the Antichrist in terror. However, the Lord Jesus emerges from heaven with a great army of saints and powerfully delivers Israel, taking action against the Antichrist and all of God's enemies.

The next thing Israel experiences from Jesus is the *"Everlasting Father."* Though they've rejected Him for 2000 years and haven't believed in Him, they suddenly realise that He's the One who delivered them from the Antichrist. They come to Him, crying out, *_"He has not dealt with us according to our sins, not punished us according to our iniquities... As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him"_* (Psalm 103:10-13).

Finally, He is called the *"Prince of Peace."* After delivering Israel and opening His arms to receive them, He establishes His Kingdom for 1000 years of peace, during which we will reign with Him over the nations of the earth (Revelation 20:4-6).

These events I speak of are not so far away. The first one, where Christ is manifested to the Church through the Holy Spirit, has been ongoing for nearly 2000 years and is approaching its climax. The Rapture is not far away. Therefore, live your life in preparation for the Master's soon return.

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...
