*GOD’S WORD CARRIES HIS LIFE*

_It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life_ *(John 6:63)*

The Lord Jesus made a profound statement when He said, *“The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”* What did He mean? He didn't say His words were merely powerful or inspiring. Rather, He said they are spirit and they are life.

It reveals something extraordinary: everything that comes out of God carries His life. That doesn't mean it's His Person but that it carries His life. It’s like your DNA; it can be traced from something as little as a strand of your hair because it carries your unique identity. 

In the same way, everything that comes out of God carries His identity, His power, and His life. This is why God's Word is unlike any other. When you receive His Word, you receive the life it carries. 

It helps us understand what happened with the handkerchiefs and aprons from Paul that were used to heal the sick and cast out demons (Acts 19:11-12). It wasn't the Person of the Holy Spirit who was in those materials. It was the impartation of God's life and power. 

Paul had received the Word, and that divine life was imparted even to the things that came in contact with him. Approach God's Word with this understanding. Isaiah 55:11 says, *“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please....”* God's Word doesn’t merely announce His purpose but contains the efficacy and power to fulfil it.

Think of a seed. Within that tiny seed is everything required to produce the tree it represents. Always be quick to receive God's Word and confidently act on it. Let it dwell richly in your heart. As you do, you'll witness its inherent power, producing righteousness, health, wisdom, victory, and every blessing it conveys. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for the living power of your Word. I receive your Word into my spirit with joy, knowing that it carries your life, your power, and your divine nature. I’m continually transformed by your Word as I live by it and it produces in me all that you have ordained, in Jesus' Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*John 1:1-4* In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. *2* The same was in the beginning with God. *3* All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. *4* In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

*Hebrews 4:12 NIV* For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

*1 Thessalonians 2:13* For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

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...
