RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: YOU LIVE IN THE KINGDOM NOW

Friday, January 19th, 2024.
Pastor Chris

Theme Scripture: โ€œFor our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20 NKJV).โ€

Did you know that youโ€™re a heavenly citizen? Your life is from heaven. Youโ€™re not of this world. Youโ€™re in Godโ€™s Kingdom now! Therefore, donโ€™t transact your affairs, donโ€™t live as though youโ€™re of this world or living in the world: โ€œWherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinancesโ€ (Colossians 2:20).

Your actions and reactions, your thoughts, words and responses shouldnโ€™t be like those of the people of the world. Youโ€™re different. You live on Godโ€™s terms; you live by His Word. You live by faith, because thatโ€™s the lifestyle in our spiritual Kingdom.

Jesus said in John 15:19, โ€œ...I have chosen you out of the world....โ€ No wonder the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, cautioned, โ€œWhy are you still living as though youโ€™re in the world, when actually you live in Christ, in the Spirit?โ€

Then, in Galatians 5:25, He tells us to walk in the Spirit, because we live in the Spirit. Now that youโ€™re born again, you live in two worlds: the physical world and the spiritual world. But you have to be more conscious of the spiritual world because life is spiritual.

Colossians 3:1-2 says, โ€œIf ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.โ€ Live the life of heavenโ€”on earth! Let your outlook on life be from the Kingdomโ€™s perspective.

When you understand this, youโ€™ll never be perturbed by the troubles and crises in the world; youโ€™ll live above them. This is because in the Kingdom we only win and grow from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Iโ€™m not of this world; Iโ€™m born from heaven and live the life of heaven now in the earth! I live above the debilitating principles of this world, walking in victory, health, strength and prosperity. Iโ€™m conscious of my heavenly blessings, rights and privileges and I live in them in Christ Jesus. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

John 17:15-16 AMPC
I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world.

1 Corinthians 15:48-49 AMPC
Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). 49 And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.

Colossians 1:12-13
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:

THURSDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER 2023.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC: โœจ PRAY FOR A RECEPTIVE HEART โœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œWherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your soulsโ€ (James 1:21).

When you share Gods' Word with others,no matter what you say, it may not work unless the Holy Spirit ministers to their hearts. You may preach and teach, but if the Spirit of God isn't ministering to their hearts, it's not going to be effective; that's the reason why prayer is crucial.

When you pray for others in this context, it's not about you, but your hearers, that the Lord will give them a receptive heart, and that the darkness that blinds their hearts be dispelled and the power of evil holding them in bo***ge is broken.

Remember the words of Paul the apostle: "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" 1( Corinthians 2:4-5 ). As a result, I learnt to pray, saying, "In the Name of the Lord Jesus, you evil spirit of darkness that has blinded and put a mist in the heart of so-and-so to stop him from seeing and understanding the Word, I break your influence on his heart and mind."

When I started doing this, I got amazing results; the Holy Spirit opened their hearts to receive the truths and teachings of the Word of God without distractions. If there was any hardness or resistance prior to meeting them, it would melt away, and in them, a deep hunger and thirst for the spiritual would be awakened. Praise God!

Always pray earnestly for those to whom and with whom you share the Word of God. When you do, the transformative power of the Word that brings conviction, understanding, and a desire for a closer relationship with the Lord will be kindled within their hearts. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I pray that the minds of those to whom I preach the Gospel be receptive to your Word as your wisdom leaps out of the message and inundates their hearts; they'll walk the path of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, being enlightened, refreshed, informed and strengthened to fulfil their purpose in Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 3:14-19;
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

James 5:16 AMPC
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

MONDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2023.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC: โœจTHE HOLY SPIRIT DOES THE WORKโœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œBelievest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the worksโ€ (John 14:10).

The Lord Jesus, in the verse above, referred to the Holy Spirit as the Father that dwells in Him. Heโ€™s the โ€œdoerโ€ of the works. Yes, we donโ€™t see the Holy Spirit, and we canโ€™t touch or relate with Him through our senses, but His presence, impact and ministry in, through and for us is so real and profound.

The Holy Spirit is God; the Holy Spirit is the voice of God. The Holy Spirit is the extension of God. Sometimes, even when He ministers to us, we donโ€™t realize Heโ€™s the one. For example, in Matthew 16:13-17 when Jesus asked His disciples, โ€œWhom do men say that I am?โ€ In answering, they werenโ€™t sure; but Peter said, โ€œYouโ€™re the Christ, the son of the living God.โ€

The Lordโ€™s response to Peter was, โ€œSimon, flesh and blood didnโ€™t reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.โ€ It takes a revelation to know who Jesus is, and that revelation is granted by God. Peter didnโ€™t know it was a knowledge from God that was granted him.

The Gospel weโ€™re commissioned to take to the nations of the world is something that canโ€™t be humanly devised, accepted, and understood. Thereโ€™s no way for an ordinary man to accept it. The Bible says, โ€œFor the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of Godโ€ (1 Corinthians 1:18).

We need help from the ministry of the Holy Spirit for others to accept the Gospel just as we had to be helped to accept it. Psalm 127:1 says, โ€œExcept the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it....โ€ We all must be conscious of this as soul winners.

If youโ€™re trying to build the Church of God without the Holy Spirit, itโ€™s not going to work. Heโ€™s the Lord of the harvest. He does the work. Read the inspiring and life-transforming words of the Lord Jesus in John 16:7-8 AMPC: โ€œHowever, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, HELPER, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you...And when He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God) and about judgment.โ€ Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Holy Spirit, I thank you, for youโ€™re the one who works effectually in me, to will and to do the Fatherโ€™s pleasure. Iโ€™m sensitive to your leadership and guidance. I can do all things through your mighty power at work in me, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Philippians 4:13 AMPC
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

John 14:10 AMPC
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).

FRIDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER 2023.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC: โœจ BE MINDFUL OF SATAN'S MANIPULATIONS โœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œLest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devicesโ€ (2 Corinthians 2:11).

In an crucial moment when Jesus spoke about His impending death, Peter, one of the foremost disciples, took Jesus aside, objected and rebuked Him, saying, "...Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall be unto thee" (Mathew 16:22). The Lord's response was swift and clear. He turned to Peter and said, "...Get thee behind me, Satan..." (Mathew 16:23).

The Lord Jesus recognized that it was Satan speaking through Peter. But here's something I'd like you to notice. In addressing Peter, Jesus didn't look into the air as though the devil was somewhere around speaking through Peter. He knew where the devil was; he was right in Peter.

Now, here's where a lot of people miss it. They say, "Can you imagine; Peter was once demon-possessed" no! Peter was not demon-possessed, but the words he spoke were influenced by Satan. When people accept Satan's words, they receive of him to themselves. This doesn't imply that they're now demon-possessed.

Demon possession occurs when an individual is completely overtaken by that spirit, in which case he can't free himself, as he's compelled to do only what that evil spirit dictates.

Another example similar to Peter's case is seen where Satan moved David to number Israel, as recorded in the old Testament (Chronicles 21, 2 Samuel 24). David, a righteous man, was unaware that he had been swayed by Satan's prompting. Similarly, Peter too was unaware that Satan was operating through him.

O, how important it is to learn to follow the Holy Spirit in the Word, by the Word, and through the Word! It's part of the reasons we pray and intercede for people, especially leaders, that they'll always have the will, desires and boldness to do what is right, be led by the Holy Spirit, and never be in conflict with the Scriptures.

Therefore, in line with the Scriptures, always make intercession and giving of thanks for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

PRAYER
Dear Father, I remain steadfast in the truth, aware of the tactics, wiles, manipulations, deceits, trickery and deceptions employed by the devil. I'm sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life, who causes me to walk in God's perfect will and in the glory of God. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
1 Peter 5:8-9;
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

James 4:7;
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Chronicles 21:1-2
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

TOPIC: โœจ YOUR LEGAL AUTHORITY TO USE HIS NAME โœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œAnd these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils...โ€ (Mark 16:17).

In the days of Jesus, exorcism wasnt a new thing as the Jews knew that demons were responsible for some afflictions. Jesus referred to it in some portions of the gospels; so, it was already in existence in His day. For example, in Matthew 12:27, Jesus asked, "And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges."

But the people noticed something unique about the way Jesus ministered and cast out demons; He only spoke words and the demons were cast out. He exercised authority that others marvelled at. No wonder they wanted to know who He was, and why He was so different. Luke 4:36 says, "And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out."

Today, He has given us the power of attorney to use His Name, the legal authority to act in His stead. Thus, you can cast out devils using the Name of Jesus. The Bible says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils..." (Mark 16:17).

Notice the three-word phrase: "In my name"; it means you can use the Name of Jesus and be heard. So, when He says "in my name, they shall cast out devils," it means that in dealing with Satan and his demons, no need for fruitless arguments; cast them out! In His Name, you can frustrate the influence and manipulations of Satan in your family, workplace, city, and country.

No demon can resist or stand against the Name of Jesus. Philippians 2:9-11 says, "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

CONFESSION
I exercise authority over all devils, as I have been given the authority in the Name of Jesus. My faith is a weapon of defence and an instrument of victory over and against the adversary and adversities. With it, I put out all the fiery missiles of the wicked one. The Word of God has taken full possession of my spirit, soul and body. I'm eternally triumphant in Christ because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:
Philippians 2:9-11 AMPC;
Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has [a]freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee [b]should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue [[c]frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Luke 10:17-19
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Pastor Chris

TOPIC: โœจ LEVERAGE ON HERITAGE โœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œ...I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold (Acts 7:32).โ€

Though the Word of God teaches us about greatness, being greater than another should never be your dream. You can desire to advance or surpass previous generations in your exploits, but donโ€™t make it about greatness. Leverage on heritage.

For example, the children of Israel could never imagine or pray to be greater than Abraham, Isaac or Jacob; their greatness was dependent on the greatness of these patriarchs. Jacob couldnโ€™t have imagined being greater than Isaac; he recognized that his blessing came from being Isaacโ€™s son.

Likewise, Isaac honoured Abraham as his father, knowing that his own greatness stemmed from being the son of Abraham. In Exodus 3:15, the Bible says, โ€œAnd God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.โ€ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob became His memorial forever.

The Lord Jesus is another example. God had promised David that his throne would be established forever (2 Samuel 7:12-13). Read how Jesus was identified in Matthew 1:1: โ€œThe book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.โ€

So, even if youโ€™ve achieved higher educational success than your biological father, for example, remember that his role in bringing you into existence makes him greater than you. As great as you are, youโ€™re his product, you came from him, so that makes him greater than you for you to honour him the way God wants you to.

Recognizing this principle is vital. Itโ€™s one of the reasons we have great honour for those whom God sent before us in ministry, because without them, we wouldnโ€™t have what we have today. Through them, the Scriptures have been preserved through the ages; they diligently protected and passed down these precious teachingsโ€”the Scriptures that guide our lives. So, we remain grateful for what was done for us, leveraging on our heritage.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for my parents, spiritual leaders, mentors and everyone who has played a significant role in shaping my life and making me who I am today. Thank you Lord, for the wisdom Iโ€™ve gained from them, the experiences, and the examples theyโ€™ve set for me to live the victorious life, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Exodus 3:15 AMPC
God said also to Moses, This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations.

1 Peter 5:5-6
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Matthew 23:11-12
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

TOPIC: โœจ A CUE FROM ESTHER โœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œGo and get all the Jews living in Susa together. Fast for me. Don't eat or drink for three days, either day or night. I and my maids will fast with you. If you will do this, I'll go to the king, even though it's forbidden. If I die, I die (Esther 4:16 MSG).โ€

In the 4th chapter of the book of Esther, we read how Esther had become queen, enjoying a wonderful life in the palace. However, she was unaware of a decree issued by Hamanโ€”a prominent but wicked figure who held a high position in King Ahasuerusโ€™s cabinet. Hamanโ€™s plan was to exterminate the Jews, including Esther herself.

Estherโ€™s perspective changed when her uncle, Mordecai, sent her a message to convey the dire nature of the situation. He warned her not to be complacent as she herself, despite being queen, wouldnโ€™t be spared should Haman execute his wicked plan.

Here was Mordecaiโ€™s thought-provoking question to Esther, ..and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?โ€ (Esther 4:14). Perhaps, Esther had been divinely positioned in the palace to make a difference at that critical moment. She decided to take advantage of it and do something thatโ€™ll save her people.

She decided to go before the king to intercede for her people even though it was against the law and carried the risk of death. I love her resolve; she said, โ€œ...if I perish, I perish.โ€ In other words, โ€œIโ€™m going ahead with this, even if itโ€™s going to cost me my life.โ€ That was the moment she won!

There comes a pivotal moment when you must make crucial decisions about the Gospel and your role in it, just like Esther. Until you learn to make such decisions, fear may keep you in bo***ge. Itโ€™s in those moments that fear must not hold you back.

Irrespective of the daunting challenges and the imminent perils or danger, stand your ground on the truth of Godโ€™s Word. Recognize and take advantage of Godโ€™s grace in you to win for others. Have the courage to act on the truth. Make bold choices, and be willing to face anything in pursuit of what is right. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the doors of opportunity youโ€™ve opened for me to make a difference in this world and win for others. I acknowledge and embrace the abundant grace youโ€™ve bestowed upon me to lead others in victory and fulfil their purpose in life and ministry, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 15:1
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Esther 4:14-16
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, [then] shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for [such] a time as this? 15 Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer], 16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

TOPIC: โœจ THE DEPTH OF HIS LOVE โœจ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œO GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever (Psalm 136:1 AMPC).โ€

Our heavenly Father is so gracious and kind. The depth of His love is infinite, absolutely unsearchable. The Bible says while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). His love is for everybody, including the worst criminals; no one is too evil or wicked for Him to love.

No wonder the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, had to pray for the Church to be able to graspโ€”empowered to discoverโ€”the great magnitude of the boundless and amazing love of the Father. How deeply intimate, far-reaching, enduring and inclusive His love is; endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding (Ephesians 3:18).

Think about a man like King Nebuchadnezzar, for example; many only remember him as a devilish figure or an evil ruler because of what we read of him in 2 Kings 24:11-16. But not many observe Godโ€™s enduring love and mercy for him after he repented, and the incredible authority God granted him over the nations as revealed in Daniel chapter 4.

After he had lived like a beast of the field for seven years, God, in His love and mercy, returned Him to the palace, and everyone received him. God preserved the throne for him. Read of his beautiful testimony in Daniel 4:34-36.

Another astonishing example is that of Manasseh. Manassehโ€™s reign was marked by wickedness and rebellion against God. But when he repented of his sins, God showed him mercy. Then we come to King Ahab; the Bible says he did evil in the sight of God above all the other kings before him.

Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him (1 Kings 16:30-33). But as soon as Ahab repented, God spoke to Elijah, saying, โ€œSeest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days...โ€ (1 Kings 21:29).

Sometimes, when we think about people who have committed grave wrongs, we wonder why God tolerated them. Itโ€™s the depth of His love. Heโ€™s full of compassion. If God would show such grace to Nebuchadnezzar, Ahab and Manasseh, I donโ€™t see anyone in this world whom He wouldnโ€™t love. God didnโ€™t send Jesus to die for us because we were living right; He did it while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8-9).

PRAYER
Holy, righteous Father, thank you for your immense love for humanity and the provision of salvation through Jesus Christ; this love compels me to preach the Gospel to the lost, and turn them from sin unto righteousness, and from the power of Satan unto God, in Jesusโ€™ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
