*DESIRE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY*

_(Speak Forth The Word Of God In Power)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*1 Corinthians 14:1* 
_“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”_

*LET’S TALK*

The Bible says, *“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit”* (1 Corinthians 12:4), meaning that there are several gifts that God imparts to His children through the agency of the Holy Spirit. But from our opening Scripture, we can decipher that the gift of prophecy ranks above all the other gifts of the Spirit that you should desire. God wants you to operate the gift of prophecy.

The gift of prophecy isn’t just for apostles, prophets, evangelists or pastors; it’s for the Church! Every Christian ought to prophesy. To prophesy is to speak forth the Word of God in power, whether by foretelling future events, or as a rhema-word to cause a change in the now! The Bible says, *“But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church”* (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). When you declare the mind of God in prophecy, others are edified, strengthened and comforted.

Thus, with the gift of prophecy in operation in your life, you can never be in darkness as to what steps to take in life. Whether it’s choosing which subjects to focus on, navigating friendships, or making plans for your future, prophecy can guide you. Moses, in the Old Testament, understood the power and importance of prophecy and wished that all of God’s children were prophets (Numbers 11:29). But thanks be unto God; now that we’re born again and have received the Holy Spirit, we’ve received the divine enablement and inspiration to prophesy. Hallelujah! 

Consequently, whether you’re praying on your own or in the company of other Christians, you can prophesy. As the Word of God wells up in you under that influence of the Holy Spirit, open your mouth and speak forth those words in prophecy. Begin to desire the gift of prophecy. The Bible says the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man (not some but all) to profit withal (1 Corinthians 12:7). This means you, too, can prophesy, and you can begin right now! Hallelujah! 

*GO DEEPER*
 
*1 Thessalonians 5:20* Despise not prophesyings.

*1 Timothy 1:18 GNB* Timothy, my child, I entrust to you this command, which is in accordance with the words of prophecy spoken in the past about you. Use those words as weapons in order to fight well,

*PRAY*

_Precious Holy Spirit, I thank you for the gift of prophecy. Thank you for filling my heart and mouth with words of power to cause changes in my life and in the lives of those around me. I declare that my life is for the glory of God; my future is that of success, progress and prosperity! I daily dwell in peace and health, and I experience the favour of God in every area of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*DAILY BIBLE READING*

*ONE YEAR*
2 Corinthians 11:1-15, Proverbs 29-31

*TWO YEAR* 
Luke 22:24-34, 1 Samuel 30

*ACT*
Look for an opportunity to declare God’s Word concerning any situation today. Speak it forth with boldness.

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...
