💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY AUGUST 1ST 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨THE BEAUTY OF THE GOSPEL✨

SCRIPTURE :📖To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19).

It’s normal to describe the people of the world, those who haven’t received salvation, as sinners. However, it’s important to know that they were not made sinners by their own actions but by Adam’s transgression.

Romans 5:12 explains this some more; it says, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." That means all were made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. But the beauty of the Gospel is this: Just as one man's disobedience made many sinners, so also, through the obedience of one man, Jesus Christ, many are made righteous: "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous" (Romans 5:19). Blessed be God!

This is the Gospel we’ve been sent to preach: a Gospel of life and righteousness. Don’t try to convince people that they are sinners. Instead, let them know why they needed salvation in the first place; it was Adam’s transgression; it brought death into the world and that death was passed into everything.

But thanks be unto God; our Lord Jesus Christ brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). He was made sin for us who knew no sin so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). 1 John 5:11 says, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” This is the Gospel: It’s the message of life, victory and righteousness in Christ Jesus. This is the message we must proclaim to the whole world. Hallelujah!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

In Christ, I have received life, victory and righteousness; I am justified in Him. Thank you, Lord, for the glorious Gospel that brings salvation and illuminates the hearts of men with the knowledge of Christ’s finished works. I walk in the fullness of life and reign in righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES THURSDAY JULY 31ST 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2).

Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then?

We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints which we have now, while we, the Church, will function like the angels, arriving suddenly, disappearing, moving to specific places to carry out angelic ministrations as directed by God.

It's going to be super exciting; it’s another class of ministry. We're not going to be dealing with people, trying to carry out physical administrative functions as priests, no! The priests of those days shall be the Jews. But until then, in these last days, in these present moments, what does God expect of us?

He has given us a Kingdom to run, and He expects us to run it for Him effectively in this time. It has taken almost 2,000 years to arrive at this point, and the Lord is expectant. James 5:7-8 says, “…Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it…Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” 

What we just read gives us a vivid picture: God is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, the souls of men. This is what He expects in these closing moments of the Church age, a great influx of souls from all nations. So, win souls like never before. The fields are ripe with harvest, and you’re the labourer, thrust into the fields by the Lord to bring in the end time harvest.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of serving you and fulfilling your purpose in these last days. I yield myself completely to your plans, prepared and ready to carry out your assignments with diligence, excellence, and joy. I am effective in running the Kingdom you have given to us, bringing in the precious fruit of the earth as we prepare for the coming of the Lord. Amen.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY, JULY 30TH 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨THE GLORIOUS ASCENSION OF JESUS✨

SCRIPTURE 📖:And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven (Luke 24:51).

The Ascension of Jesus is the biggest event to ever happen in this world. Acts 1:9 gives us a detailed account of how it happened: “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.” His disciples were looking at Him as He ascended. They were watching Him go up into the clouds.

Jesus didn’t just suddenly vanish; His disciples were there, watching Him as He levitated. If you were there that day, how would you have described such an experience? You would have been so shocked; you might not have been able to speak for days. That’s exactly what happened to the disciples.

What they saw was the proof of something Jesus had told them earlier in John 6. When He was preaching, some of His disciples were offended when He said, “...my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed” (John 6:55). His words were hard for many to accept, and as a result, many of His disciples stopped following Him.

Jesus then asked the twelve disciples, “...Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?” (John 6:61-62). And there was no response. But eventually, right before their eyes, it happened. They saw those words come to pass. What they witnessed was too weighty for words.

They had already been having difficulty convincing people of His resurrection. They were called liars for declaring Jesus was alive. And now, they had witnessed His ascension. It wasn’t like Elijah who was taken up by a whirlwind with a chariot of fire. This was different.

The churches, Christians, and preachers haven’t emphasized the Ascension of Jesus enough. We often read about it and assume everyone understands it. But this was the biggest event that ever occurred on Earth. The resurrection is crucial because our salvation is based on it, but the Ascension is proof of something even more remarkable: His supreme authority, dominion, lordship and eternal reign. Blessed be God.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the magnificent ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ, which demonstrated His supreme authority, dominion, lordship and eternal reign. I rejoice that I am seated with Him in heavenly places, far above all principalities and powers. Thank you for the victory and authority I have in His Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Acts 1:9-11 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; *11* which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY JULY 29TH 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨TOPIC :✨KEEP FILLING UP THE CLOUDS✨

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY JULY 29TH 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨KEEP FILLING UP THE CLOUDS✨

SCRIPTURE 📖:If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth... (Ecclesiastes 11:3).

There’s something you need to understand about prayer and how certain types of prayers work. Some prayers must be accumulated before they start producing results. They must be built up. The Bible says, “If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth....”

You don’t just pray and then leave off for two or three days before you pray again. No! Every day, you heap prayer upon prayer. Every day, you add some more. And then, you add some more, and some more, until you reach the climax where the results burst forth like a gusher, blowing the lid open.

That’s when things start happening; it’s like a harvest of prayers. That harvest can continue for a long time. However, that doesn’t mean you stop praying during that time. No. There are always other things to pray about. This kind of prayer is deeply spiritual and involves much praying in the spirit. Every day, you’re filling up the cloud.

Sometimes, the Spirit of God can lead you to fast for a certain number of days because He wants you to keep filling up your cloud. It’s not so much about staying away from food; that’s not what He’s getting at. Rather, it’s about focusing your attention on the Spirit and having the kind of meditation and prayer that conditions your spirit for the work He wants to do in you, for you or through you.

So, learn to persevere in prayer as the Bible says: “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Keep storing up deposits of prayers in your prayer-cloud, and as the Word declares, “If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.”

PRAYER / CONFESSION

As I pray consistently in the spirit, I’m filling up the clouds in anticipation of a harvest of answers to my prayers. My spirit is conditioned to know and walk in God’s perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY, 28TH JULY 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC : ✨PRAY IN TONGUES CONSISTENTLY✨

 

SCRIPTURE :📖He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church (1 Corinthians 14:4).

Praying in the Spirit is a powerful spiritual exercise that produces remarkable results within you. One of the things God designed to keep you healthy, sound, and strong is prayer, especially praying in the Spirit. When you speak in tongues, you edify yourself; it’s like charging a battery. Your spirit is charged, energized and strengthened, enabling you to truly serve God.

 

The Apostle Paul revealed something profound in Romans 1:9, saying, “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son....” This means we serve God with our spirits. Therefore, for your spirit to function effectively, it must be charged,strengthened and continually refreshed. Praying in tongues achieves this.

The human spirit can be weak or strong. To strengthen your spirit, you must spend time praying in the Holy Ghost. As you do, your spirit is built up and fortified: “But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit” (Jude 1:20 AMPC). 

 

God has His role, but you also have yours. The Holy Spirit is your Helper; He doesn’t do the work for you but works through you. Paul, in Ephesians 3:14-16 tells us, “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.”

The term “strengthened with might” refers to being infused with miracle-working ability by the Holy Spirit in your inner man. Paul understood this truth deeply, which is why he made a remarkable statement in 1 Corinthians 14:18, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.” The Corinthian church was known for their enthusiasm for speaking in tongues, yet Paul stated that he spoke in tongues more than all of them. 

 

Paul’s consistency in praying in tongues was key to his continuous progress, victories and extraordinary accomplishments. It wasn’t something he did occasionally; it was a lifestyle. If you desire consistent growth, success, and advancement, then praying in the Spirit must be something you do consistently. It’ll help you make consistent progress as you experience continuous increase in grace and victory after victory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the blessing of praying in the Spirit through which I build up and strengthen my spirit to serve you effectively. Even now, my spirit is attuned to your guidance and direction, and I walk in perpetual victory, progress and ever-increasing grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨PLAN YOUR PRAYER✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Don't shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think. Don't be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear… (Ecclesiastes 5:2 MSG).

When it comes to prayer, you must realize the importance of planning your prayer or your praying. Prayer isn’t something you do half-heartedly; it requires reverence, understanding and careful preparation. Ecclesiastes 5:2 in the KJV says, “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.” 

When we pray to the Lord, we must do so with purpose and clarity. Planning your prayer means recognizing the greatness of God and acknowledging that He is the Almighty. It involves preparing your heart, setting your mind on the things you want to discuss with Him, and articulating them with precision and sincerity.

Recall again what He said in the latter part of Ecclesiastes 5:2, “...let thy words be few”; that means summarize your prayers. It reminds of what the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 6:7, “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” But how can you summarize your prayer if you haven’t planned it?

This doesn’t imply minimizing the time you spend in prayer but rather being deliberate, purposeful and Spirit led. Thoughtless words and hasty utterances have no place before the King of Glory. Plan your words. When you prepare your prayers, you’re actively engaging your mind and spirit to align with God’s will. You’re positioning yourself to speak words that are filled with faith and power.

It’ll help to always take a moment to write down the things you want to talk to the Lord about. Think about the areas of your life where you desire His guidance, intervention and blessings. Also, consider the thoughts and insights He might have already stirred in your heart. Then, you speak in tongues. Through speaking in tongues, you articulate divine mysteries and gain insight into realities beyond human comprehension.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege of prayer and for the wisdom of your Word. I pray with reverence and purpose, guided by your Spirit to speak words that are filled with faith and divine insight, making my words in prayer effective. Thank you for the assurance of answers, for you hear me always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨FASTING IS IMPORTANT✨

SCRIPTURE :📖And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting... (Daniel 9:3)._*

The Bible talks about those who served the Lord with fasting and prayers night and day. We’re to emulate their faith, gain from their examples, and carry on the same practice in our walk with God. For example, in Luke 2:36-37, we read about Anna, a prophetess, who literally lived in the temple: *_“And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.”_*

Also, in Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas, along with other leaders, dedicated themselves to fasting and prayer: *_“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers.... As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away”_* (Acts 13:1-3).

In Acts 14:23, Paul and Barnabas continued this same culture: *_“And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.”_* In fact, Paul, in 2 Corinthians 11, while enumerating several credentials of his ministry and apostleship, made specific reference to fasting: *_"In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness"_* (2 Corinthians 11:27).

Furthermore, the Lord Jesus Himself set the ultimate example of fasting as recorded in Matthew 4:2: *_"And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred."_* This was a time of intense spiritual preparation before He began His public ministry.

These and other examples in Scripture establish a precedence for us: we’re to serve the Lord in fasting as often as it’s required since we have the same ministry and operate by the same Spirit. It’s one of the ways to maintain inspiration and receive guidance to effectively carry out that which the Lord has committed to our hands. Glory to God!

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, I thank you for the examples set before me in your Word. I walk in the same path of faith, discipline, and devotion, serving through prayer and fasting, and fulfilling my calling with diligence and power. Thank you for the divine culture of your Word that shapes my life and ensures my continual victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Nehemiah 1:4 NKJV* So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

*Acts 13:1-3 NIV* Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. *2* While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” *3* So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.

*Luke 2:36-37 NKJV* Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; *37* and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY JULY 25 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨TAKE “A HOLY GHOST DOSE” EVERY DAY✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

One of the ways to keep your body permanently in health is praying in the Holy Spirit; giving your physical body frequent Holy Ghost doses. The Bible says, “...If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Romans 8:11). This means the Holy Ghost vitalizes, energizes and rejuvenates your body.

As you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit will stir up in you the Word of God that’s in your spirit. Soon enough you’ll find that you’re pacing the floor, declaring, “I am of God; I’m born of God; the greater One lives in me; He permeates every fibre of my being, every bone of my body, and every cell of my blood. He fills my head, my hands, and my feet. He perambulates my heart, my blood, my lungs, my kidneys, my eyes. I am saturated with God! Hallelujah!"

Do this today and every other day; speak in tongues with your mind focused on the power of God coursing through your being. Then keep declaring, “My body is invigorated with supernatural strength, and I am energized by the power of the Holy Spirit. Sickness has no power over me because I have taken hold of eternal life. I am not moved by symptoms or circumstances because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world. I live in victory every day. Hallelujah!”

Stir up yourself in the Holy Ghost like this, speaking in tongues and declaring God’s Word until your whole body vibrates with the power of God and your spiritual atmosphere is charged with divine energy. That way, you’ve regulated things in the realm of the Spirit. It makes no difference whatever may be happening around you or the sickness that may be plaguing others; you’re unmoved because you’re strengthened and energized by the Holy Ghost, filled with divine might and ability to dominate the forces of darkness and tame circumstances.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who vitalizes my body and saturates my entire being with divine power. I’m strengthened and energized, filled with might and ability. I walk in health, dominion and victory every day, full of power, and full of glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 TOPIC :✨GOD IS WORKING IN YOU✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).

Live your life every day, conscious of the reality that the Lord is at work in you, and that He’s faithful to complete the good work He’s started in you! That means no need to struggle with whatever assignment He’s committed to your hands. He’ll see to it that you complete it gloriously. All you need is to rely on His divine power working in you.

It brings to mind what Paul, by the Spirit, tells us in Philippians 2:13, *_“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”_* This means that it’s God Himself who is at work in you, making you willing and giving you the ability to do His good pleasure. He’s actively working in you, inspiring and enabling you to fulfil His divine purpose.

How could you fail when God is working in you? You’re His operational headquarters here on earth, functioning by His divine ability. You’re a success because He is at work in you. His divine presence in you ensures that you accomplish His purpose. Hallelujah! This means you can actively win souls in large numbers into the Kingdom, the Lord working in and with you.

Consider what the angel of the Lord said to Gideon in Judges 6:14: *_“...Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites...”_* God was telling Gideon that what he had was sufficient. The same applies to you. What you have is enough. Christ in you is enough. God at work in you is enough.

You can call forth men and women from the north, south, east and west of your city into salvation in your intercession. They’ll converge unto you because God is working in you. You’re a burning and a shining light. You’re burning with the fire of the Holy Ghost, and that fire will attract many into the Kingdom. The hand of God is mighty upon you; therefore, you’re increasing in grace, strength, and impact.

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, your power is at work in me, causing me to accomplish great things for the Kingdom. I am a burning and a shining light, a soul winner, and a beacon of your glory. Your Spirit is mighty in me, and through me, many are drawn into the Kingdom. Thank you for the unstoppable spread of the Gospel in the nations of the world, in Jesus' Name. Amen._*

TOPIC :✨DISCARD DREAMS LIKE CHAFF✨

SCRIPTURE :📖For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14)._*

The prophet Jeremiah, speaking under the inspiration of the Spirit, delivered a divine declaration in Jeremiah 23:28: *_"The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD."_*

Here, Jeremiah draws a sharp distinction between dreams and the Word. He acknowledges that some prophets may claim to have dreams, but those who truly possess God's Word are obligated to deliver it faithfully and without alteration. Then, he says, "What is the chaff to the wheat?"

Dreams are compared to God’s Word as chaff is to wheat. Chaff is the worthless husk separated from grain during threshing. And what do you do with chaff? You discard it. That’s what you need to do with dreams: discard them!

While dreams were one way God communicated with His people in the Old Testament (e.g., Joseph in Genesis 37:5-10, Daniel in Daniel 7:1), from the moment the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost (Acts 2), the New Testament has no record of God using dreams as a means of revelation or guidance for His children.

Those who continue to claim they are led by dreams are living an Old Testament life and ministry; they’re operating where God has already moved away from. Irrespective of your experiences, God’s way of ministering to His people in the Church age is by the Spirit, visions and the Word; not dreams.

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who leads and guides me in all things. My steps are ordered by you, and my life is directed by your Word; therefore, I walk in truth, wisdom and the reality of your divine guidance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

TOPIC :✨ACT ON THE WORD TO EFFECT CHANGES✨

SCRIPTURE📖 :....Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea (Exodus 14:15-16).

Some Christians experience a certain kind of frustration in their lives because they fail to act on the Word. They pray and try to “persuade” God to do what they are to do. For example, they want Him to change a situation He already gave us power and authority to change.

Take for example the case of Moses and the children of Israel as they were trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's advancing army. They cried out in fear. But Moses reassured them of God's salvation and began to cry out to God to do something. However, God urgently interrupted Moses with the words we read in our opening scripture above. God said to Moses, “You do something; stretch forth your hand and divide the sea.”

In obedience, Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, spoke words, and the Red Sea parted. God's power was activated the moment Moses acted on His instruction and spoke in faith. Until Moses did something, the miracle didn’t happen. This teaches us that unless you take action to change your circumstances, they may remain unchanged.

So, don’t seek to persuade God to act when you’re the one to exercise authority and take action according to His Word. God has already done His part by giving you His Word and the liberty to act on it. For example, He said in 1 Corinthians 2:12-13, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God, Which things also we speak...."

Notice the principle: You have to speak the things that have been freely given to you by God. If you don’t say it, it’ll not work. Your faith-filled words, spoken in alignment with the Word, activate His power in your life. So, speak God’s Word over your life and see His power manifest in your behalf. The blessings and results are for those who act on the Word, the doers of the Word. James 1:22, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”

CONFESSION

I’m a doer of the Word, and my faith-filled words activate the power of God in my life. As I act on the Word, I experience victory, transformation, and the fullness of God’s blessings today. Hallelujah!

Luke 5:4-6 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

TOPIC :✨LIVE VICTORIOUSLY EVERY DAY✨

SCRIPTURE :📖For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).

Your life is your responsibility, and through the Word of God, you have the power to create the circumstances of your life. As a child, your parents were responsible for the situations surrounding your life. For instance, when Jesus was born, He was placed in a manger, not because He chose to be, but because that was where His parents put Him.

On another occasion, the angel didn’t instruct Jesus but spoke to Joseph, saying, “...take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt...” (Matthew 2:13). Jesus didn’t make that decision; He was just carried along as a baby. Even as He grew, He remained subject to Joseph and His mother Mary.

However, when He came of age, He began making His own decisions, just like Moses who, when he came to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter (Hebrews 11:24). In the same way, you must come to the point where you decide and determine the circumstances of your life. Choose to live in victory no matter what.

Decide you’re going to be a success at every level of your life and in everything you do because that’s the life you’ve been given in Christ. Don’t allow your environment dictate how you live. You’re not a victim of the economy or economics of this world; you’re the seed of Abraham, a victor always.

2 Corinthians 2:14 says, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” We read in our opening verse, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world….” You’re born of God and have overcome the world. You’re victorious in Christ. Therefore, choose to live victoriously every day. Live above the systems of this world.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word, and your Spirit that enables me to live victoriously every day above the systems of this world. I’m in charge and in control of my life and circumstances; I live by faith and create my own world of success and prosperity in line with your perfect will, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SUNDAY JULY 20TH 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

 TOPIC :✨SUBJECT YOUR BODY TO HIS DIVINE INFLUENCE✨

SCRIPTURE :📖But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11).

One way to subject your body to the divine influence of the Holy Spirit is through praying in the Spirit. It improves your health or keeps you in divine health. That’s because through speaking in tongues you activate the latent power of the spirit.

Recall what we read in our opening scripture; it says if the Holy Spirit takes up His abode in you, He will vitalize or make alive your previously death-doomed body. In other words, whereas your body was going in the direction of death prior to receiving the Holy Ghost, now that you’ve received the Holy Ghost, your journey is life unto life. Glory to God!

Let’s read how the Lord Jesus demonstrated it. Luke 9:29 says, “And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.” I love this. His physical countenance was altered as He prayed. What was happening? The power of the Holy Ghost manifested in His physical body and impacted on His clothes to make them glitter.

That’s the same experience He expects you to have when you pray: Currents of spiritual electricity coursing through your being! It’s the work of the Holy Spirit. How can you pray that way and experience sickness in your body? Every one of us who has received the Holy Spirit has this power within us.

We have to become acquainted with this inner power, the inner force of the Spirit of God inside us. Acknowledge this work of the Spirit in your life; that's one of the keys. By acknowledging that work of the Spirit, you give yourself over to it. The more you do this, the less problems you’ll have with your physical body, because you're getting your body supercharged with the Holy Ghost.

There’re things you may have observed in your body, maybe some pain, some abnormal situation, some growth or inflammation; the more you subject your body to the influence of the Holy Spirit through prayer, the more those things pass out of your body. The Holy Ghost sanctifies your body; He perambulates your body and makes manifest the life of Christ in your physical body. Think about that!

This is God's will, plan, and purpose for you: The life of Christ manifest in your body—not only in your spirit and in your soul. That means no growth is allowed in your body; no inflammations, no abrasions, no rashes. Hallelujah! Put this to work and you’ll live perpetually in divine health. Blessed be God!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me and has made my body alive. The life of Christ is manifest in every fiber of my being. My body is sanctified, energized and preserved by the power of the Holy Spirit. I live above sickness, disease and infirmities. Divine health is my permanent experience. Glory to God!

TOPIC :✨HIS NAME REIGNS SUPREME✨

SCRIPTURE :📖And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all (Acts 3:16)._*

The authority of the Name of Jesus is unparalleled. If He were an ordinary man, His name would have no power. But there’s power in His Name. The book of Acts shows us how the disciples used His Name to cast out demons, heal the sick, and perform miracles. His Name is not just a title; it carries authority and power.

In Acts 3, Luke tells us about the miraculous healing of a certain man who was crippled from birth and laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful. The miracle attracted the attention of a large crowd, and Peter, seizing the moment, addressed the crowd, explaining the source of the healing to be the Name of Jesus.

 

He said, *_“And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all”_* (Acts 3:16). He emphasized that it was through faith in the Name of Jesus that the man was made strong and restored to health.

The authority and power in the Name of Jesus demonstrate His deity. His Name carries the fullness of His power, His life, and His authority. No wonder the Bible tells us, *_“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”_* (Philippians 2:9-10).

His Name reigns supreme over all things. Use it to cast out devils, heal the sick, and walk in perpetual victory. Live in the fullness of His power and authority today through the dominion and majesty of His Name. Amen.

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, I thank you for the authority vested in the Name of Jesus. That wonderful Name reigns supreme over all things, and through faith in His Name, I cast out devils, heal the sick, and walk in perpetual victory. I live in the fullness of His power and authority today. Thank you Lord, for the power and majesty of the Name of Jesus. Amen._*

*Philippians 2:9-11* Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: *10* that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; *11* and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY JULY 18TH 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨DIVINE HEALTH: YOUR HERITAGE IN CHRIST✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2).

Too often, people find themselves trapped in a cycle of illness and health issues. One week they’re in the hospital, and the next, they're at the pharmacy, seeking medications for one ailment or the other. This shouldn’t be your experience as a child of God. Don’t allow such in your life.

Refuse to allow Satan toy with your health. He's testing you. The moment Satan sees that you keep yielding to minor symptoms of sickness, he strikes with a heavier blow. But you have the power to put an end to this. Remember what Jesus said to Simon Peter: “...Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not...” (Luke 22:31-32).

Notice that the Lord didn’t say He prayed that Satan wouldn’t test Peter, but rather, that Peter’s faith wouldn’t fail. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Today, you can settle any health issue once and for all by saying, “Enough is enough! I refuse to live a life of sickness and weakness. I lay hold of divine health because I have eternal life. I enjoy divine health because that’s the life I have in Christ.”

While as a result of ignorance you might have tolerated sickness in the past, it should no longer have a place in your life now that you know the truth. Some people mistakenly try to "sleep off" their ailments. But this is not the way. Don't ignore the pain or discomfort, hoping that only “some rest” will resolve it. No. Use your faith-filled words to kill it!

Remember, your faith is the victory that overcomes the world and its debilitating influences, including sicknesses, diseases, pains and everything of darkness. And you’re to always vocalize your faith. Use words; your tongue is your tool for control; use it to rebuke the ailment. Use it to cut out any infirmity, growth or anomaly from your body.

Speak health and life over yourself. Then, you can rest, assured that your words have established your victory. God has empowered you to control your circumstances with your declarations. Speak life, health, and victory always.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of divine health, my inheritance in Christ Jesus. I’m healthy and strong, and I walk in the fullness of the divine life. Every fibre of my being is inundated with eternal life. Hallelujah!

TOPIC :✨THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE✨

SCRIPTURE 📖:And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (1 John 5:20)._*

The Lord Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal life. That, indeed, is who the Messiah was supposed to be. Generations of prophets foretold His coming, and when Jesus came and declared Himself the Christ —God manifested in human form— many rejected Him, accusing Him of blasphemy.

But He was right. Titus 2:13-14 NKJV refers to Him as our great God and Saviour who gave Himself for us: *_“looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.”_* No religious leader matches these credentials but our Lord Jesus Christ.

All the leaders of various religions died and remained dead. Only Jesus Christ resurrected and ascended to heaven alive. It’s only His Name that has power to cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead.

Furthermore, the remission of sins is only possible through Jesus Christ. Acts 13:38-39 NKJV says, *_“Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.”_* 1 John 5:11-12 NKJV says, *_“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”_*

Jesus is the only one to give His life for all humanity; He gave His divine life so you could have eternal life. Now, because you’ve received Him, your natural human life has been supplanted by the God-life; you’re now born of God: *_“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God"_* (John 1:12-13). He gave us eternal life because He’s Himself eternal life. Jesus is the true God and eternal life. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of the deity of Jesus Christ and the power in His Name. I live in the consciousness of His authority, exercising dominion over the forces of darkness and manifesting the victory of Christ in all that I do. I declare that my faith is effective, and through His Name, I enjoy unending success and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY, 16TH JULY 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨THE REMARKABLE DEATH OF JESUS✨

 

SCRIPTURE :📖And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God (Mark 15:39).

The death of Jesus was extraordinary and filled with supernatural events that also confirmed His deity. After being falsely accused, arrested, and crucified, Jesus hung on the Cross while the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him (Matthew 27:42-43). Even the two thieves crucified alongside Him joined in the mockery (Matthew 27:44, Mark 15:32). 

 

Then, from the sixth hour (noon) to the ninth hour (3 p.m.), darkness covered the whole earth. This supernatural darkness lasted for three hours, signifying something beyond the natural realm. At about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means, “...My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).

This was the moment when the sins of the whole world were laid upon Jesus. The Father, who is too holy to behold sin (Habakuk 1:13), turned His back, and Jesus, who had never been separated from the Father, cried out in anguish. This separation was the cup Jesus prayed about in the Garden of Gethsemane when He said, “...O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me…” (Matthew 26:39). 

 

It was not death He dreaded but separation from the Father, which was a result of Him becoming sin for humanity. The Bible says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Then, with a loud voice, He said, “...Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit...” (Luke 23:46). 

 

Jesus commanded His own death. He consciously and deliberately handed over His spirit to the Father. Jesus had earlier declared, “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again…I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again...” (John 10:17-18).

When Jesus yielded up the ghost, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, signifying the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting us access to the Father’s presence. Even the centurion overseeing the crucifixion, upon witnessing how Jesus died, declared, “...Truly this man was the Son of God” (Mark 15:39). 

 

The manner of His death testified of His divinity. Jesus’ death was no ordinary death. It was the ultimate sacrifice that brought salvation to all mankind.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the death of Jesus whose  

blood was the propitiation for sins. I rejoice in the finished work of Christ, knowing that He laid down His life for me and took it up again in victory. I live triumphantly, enjoying the benefits of His sacrificial love, now and always. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

John 10:17-18 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Luke 23:46-49 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

Matthew 27:50-54 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

TOPIC :✨HIS EXTRAORDINARY LIFE✨

SCRIPTURE :📖And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen (John 21:25).

The life of Jesus was an unending stream of the miraculous and the supernatural. It was an extraordinary life, marked by countless acts of divine power and compassion. The Bible provides us with a glimpse of this remarkable life.

John 20:30-31, for example, tells us, “And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” The purpose of the recorded miracles is clear: to inspire faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, and to bring life to those who believe in His Name.

Yet, what we read in the Scriptures is only a fraction of what Jesus accomplished. John further explains, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written” (John 21:25 NIV). This statement conveys the limitless nature of His divine ministry. The Word of God does not exaggerate.

The sheer magnitude of His miraculous works, signs and wonders was beyond human documentation. His presence on earth was characterized by countless miracles, healings, teachings and demonstrations of the divine power of God. The life of Jesus remains unparalleled, a testimony to His deity and the limitless expression of God's love and power through Him.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for revealing to me the extraordinary life of Jesus. His life on earth was a testimony of your divine nature and power. I acknowledge His deity and celebrate His works that continue to inspire faith and transform lives even today, for He’s indeed the same yesterday, today, and forever. I walk in the reality of His divine life, manifesting His glory and power today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Matthew 4:23-25 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judæa, and from beyond Jordan.

John 20:30-31 AMPC There are also many other signs and miracles which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].

TOPIC :✨THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY✨

 

SCRIPTURE :📖Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us 

(Matthew 1:23).

When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity. 

 

That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” 

 

Mary’s conception was a miracle. Before she and Joseph were married or had come together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Ghost. Joseph, described as a just man and unaware that God was behind it all, intended to quietly end their engagement to avoid bringing disgrace upon her.

But as he pondered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him and explained that the conception was not of man but of God (Matthew 1:20). The angel also instructed Joseph to name the child Jesus, stating, “...for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). 

 

What makes this account even more remarkable is that it was a fulfilment of prophecy. The Bible says, “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:22-23). 

 

This prophecy was given long before Jesus was born, indicating that His birth was part of God’s divine plan. The name “Emmanuel” means “God with us,” clearly pointing to His divine nature. Jesus was not born through natural means. His birth, being purely divine, is evidence of His deity and also proves His divine origin.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for revealing the deity of Jesus Christ through the Scriptures. I acknowledge that Jesus is indeed God. I rejoice in the truth of His divine nature, and I celebrate His supernatural birth that brought salvation to the world. Thank you for making me a partaker of your divine life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨IT’S ALL IN YOU✨

SCRIPTURE :📖According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).

The Lord is wonderful. Think about all that He’s made us and given to us in Christ Jesus! Our opening scripture says He’s given us everything that pertains to life and godliness. That means everything you require to live triumphantly, in absolute dominion over circumstances, in health, prosperity and peace is all in you.

This simply means that the quality of your life is not in the money you have, for all the money you’ll ever have is inside you. All the cars you’d ever drive, the clothes, houses, and everything you’d ever own and enjoy in this life is inside you. Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” 

The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart….” The NIV says, “...He has also set eternity in the human heart….” If eternity is in your heart, then everything you need is in your heart, waiting to be released through your faith and actions. The quality of your life is in your heart.

This helps us understand the words of the Master in Luke 6:45, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” He shows us where good and evil things come from: your heart. He also shows us how they come—from your words.

God, in Christ Jesus, has placed everything you need inside you. You’re like a seed, fully equipped with everything you need to become a fruit, a plantation, and a forest. But you must grow in the knowledge of God’s Word and speak accordingly: “Which things also we speak…” (1 Corinthians 2:13). That’s how you activate what God has deposited in your spirit.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word. I recognize that everything I require for life and godliness is already inside me. Therefore, I function from this vantage position of knowledge and strength as I chart my course in prosperity, victories and divine health, manifesting your righteousness, excellence and glory in all that I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

💎✨RHAPSODY OF REALITIES JULY SATURDAY 12TH, 2025. PASTOR CHRIS.💎✨

TOPIC :✨ACCEPT GOD’S WORD AS TRUTH✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23).

What a statement from the lips of the Master in our opening scripture above! Notice the profound but very simple instruction: “Only believe.” He says ALL things are possible to you if you believe. What does it take to believe? It simply means to accept that what the Lord has said is true.

The Bible tells a beautiful story in Mark 5 that illustrates this. The Lord Jesus was approached by Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue whose daughter was gravely ill. Desperate for help, Jairus pleaded with the Lord to come and heal his daughter. On their way to Jairus’ house, messengers arrived to tell him his daughter had died.

But then the Bible says, "As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe" (Mark 5:36). When they arrived at Jairus' house, they found mourners already gathered. But the Lord Jesus took the girl’s hand and said, "...Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise" (Mark 5:41). Immediately, the twelve-year-old stood up and began to walk around, and they were astonished.

 Accept the Word of God as truth and act accordingly. That’s faith. Faith is not something you struggle with; it’s simply acting on the Word. That suddenly opens you to limitless possibilities, where anything and everything is possible unto you.

                              PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your Word which is true and dependable. I act on your Word with boldness and confidence, knowing that what you have said is true and unchanging. My faith is alive and effectual because I act on your Word. I journey from glory to glory, walking in the light of your Word, and fulfilling your purpose for my life victoriously, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨YOUR DIVINE IDENTITY✨

SCRIPTURE :📖But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23).

In Luke 6:44, the Lord Jesus made this remarkable statement: “For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.” In other words, when you see a tree that produces oranges, you call it an orange tree, or mangoes, a mango tree, as the case may be. The tree is identified by the fruit it produces. 

Now, let’s apply this to our opening scripture that talks about the fruits of the recreated human spirit. The first fruit listed is love. That means you’re a love tree, because you produce love fruit; love is a fruit of your spirit. Another fruit of your recreated spirit is joy; you produce joy fruit, and what does that make you? It means your name is Joy. 

Then there’s peace; since you produce peace fruit, that means you’re Peace. Longsuffering means patience, so your name is Patience because patience is a fruit of your spirit. So, never say “I’m not a very patient person.” You’re patient. Gentleness is another fruit; so, your name is Gentleness.

Also, goodness; your name is Goodness. Then there’s faith, meekness, and temperance. These are all fruits of your spirit; they describe who you are. Praise God! Furthermore, Ephesians 1:17 shows another beautiful description of your divine identity by referring to our heavenly Father as “…the Father of glory...." If your Father is the Father of Glory, then who are you? It means your name is Glory. You’re the glory of God. Blessed be God!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

I bear the fruits of righteousness, and I walk in the glory of God, manifesting love, joy, peace and all the virtues of the recreated human spirit. My life is an expression of God’s divine nature, and I walk in the consciousness of who I am in Christ, radiating divine excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨SEE FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP✨

SCRIPTURE :📖If 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 (Colossians 3:1-2).

The Word of God gives us clear instructions as to how to live, the mindset we should have, and what our outlook on life should be. Take for example what we just read in our opening scripture. The Lord is telling you to focus on heavenly things and not on earthly things. Have a mountain-top view.

It brings to mind something remarkable that the Lord told me many years ago; He said, “Son, see from the mountaintop.” The interesting thing is, I didn’t even realize I was on the mountaintop until He told me. You see, it's not something you feel physically or emotionally.

I know that some Christians say they are “journeying” and trying to get to the mountaintop. But being born again, you’re on the mountaintop. You’re risen with Christ; seated together with Him, far above principalities and powers. Therefore, see from there. Live from there. It’s the best view. Hallelujah!

From the mountaintop, you see things clearly. Your perspective is elevated. You’re above the distractions and limitations of the world. You see from a higher realm, the realm of the Spirit, where it's only victory, strength, health, prosperity and unending progress.

Ponder again what we read in Colossians 3:2, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Your thoughts, desires, focus and devotion should be directed towards heavenly realities, not earthly distractions. Align your mind with the heavenly perspective and live victoriously every day.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for raising me up with Christ to live and see from the mountaintop. My affection is set on heavenly things, and my vision is clear and focused; I live above the distractions and limitations of this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨PRESENTING JESUS CHRIST ALIVE✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8)._*

When I began holding crusades many years ago, my focus was to present Jesus Christ alive to the people. Hence the posters or handbills would read, “Presenting Jesus Christ Alive” in so and so village, town, or city, naming wherever it was. I presented Him alive because, as far as I was concerned, Jesus Christ was the same as He was in Bible days, and alive.

Even today, all over the world, in our books, our messages and teachings, the purpose is the same: to present Jesus Christ alive, proving His unchanging nature and power. In those early years, we held campmeetings annually. In one of those years, the theme of the camp meeting was “Beyond The Written Pages.”

Yes, the Lord Jesus in His power, glory, dominion and grace lives beyond the written pages. He’s alive today, blessing and transforming lives as He did in Bible days. Christianity transcends mere words on paper. It’s about presenting Jesus Christ alive to the nations and peoples of the world, beyond history and prophecy.

We must take this message beyond our immediate borders, to reach the farthest regions, to the ends of the earth. This has to be your mindset now more than ever. The real Church can’t be stagnant or static; the real Church must be dynamic. It must continually reach beyond borders, presenting Jesus Christ alive, relevant and as Lord in a postmodern world. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, thank you for the consistency of your vision and the revelation of Jesus Christ alive today. I’m taking the message beyond borders, presenting the living Christ to my world and beyond. The Church is marching forward, expanding and spreading the message of your love, power and grace through the nooks and crannies of the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

TOPIC :✨THE CONSISTENCY OF JESUS CHRIST✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith, follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:7-8).

What we read in our opening scripture above is quite profound. There’s a connection between verses 7 and 8 that many Bible translators didn’t grasp. This is due primarily to the lack of punctuation in the original Greek text.

The connection is straightforward when you study the passage in context. Both verses actually emphasize the consistency of the Lord Jesus Christ. The 8th verse, which says “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever,” is not independent of the preceding verse 7.

What the Spirit is emphasizing in those verses is that the leaders who brought us God's Word had a way of life that demonstrated and bore testimony to the power and consistency of the Lord Jesus Christ; He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. In other words, their faith produced results that reflected the unchanging nature of the Lord Jesus—His faithfulness, trustworthiness and glory— proving Him to be consistent. What He did back then, He’s able to do, and still does today.

Therefore, the instruction is clear: follow the faith of those who delivered God’s Word to you, considering the outcome of their lives, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ’s consistency and unchanging nature. No wonder James 1:17 describes Him as the Father of lights, with whom there’s no variableness, neither shadow of turning; no shadow of inconsistency with Him.

He said through the prophet in Malachi 3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not….” Today, it makes no difference where you are in your life or what you need; Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Trust Him with your life. Those who came ahead of us testified of His faithfulness and the infallibility and immutability of His Word. We have the same testimony; He never fails. Hallelujah!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the consistency of your Word and the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus Christ who’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. My life is a revelation of the unchanging nature of Christ, His glory, power and love, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨THE UNITY OF THE FAITH✨

SCRIPTURE :📖Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

There's a level of maturity that the Church of Jesus Christ all over the world is expected to come to before the Rapture of the Church. This doesn’t mean every individual will become mature overnight, because we’re still winning souls. Therefore, there’ll be baby Christians, and it’ll take time to train and raise them in the Word.

But God's people are growing, becoming more aware and more united in the faith. This will continue until such a time that there’ll be unity in the spirit. What unifies God’s people in this manner is the knowledge of the Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

What the opening scripture tells us isn’t something to be achieved in heaven but here on earth. Notice it says, “Till we all come...,” not just some of us but the whole Church moving in unity. Even the babes in Christ who don’t know much are expected to follow the guidance of those who have walked with the Lord longer.

That's why Paul could confidently say, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1). He said, "Copy me," because he was following the Master. It’s like living in a city with a high level of enlightenment; even if someone never went to school, he or she would be cultured likewise by simply being in that environment. In Christ, we all live in God’s spiritual city: “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” (Hebrews 12:22).

We all are involved in this maturing of the Body of Christ: learning the Word, following the Lord's guidance, and helping others to grow in Him until we, the Church, arrive at that place of maturity and unbroken unity that the Word describes. Ensure to play your role.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the knowledge of your Word that unifies and matures us in Christ. I yield myself to be a worthy example to those who are coming into the fold. As I follow Christ, I guide others by my words, actions and devotion to you. Thank you for your grace that enables me to walk in your wisdom and truth every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

SCRIPTURE :📖And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me (Luke 9:23).

To be a true success with the Lord, you must walk in His wisdom. It’s about putting Him first and letting His wisdom guide your every step. God’s Word is God’s wisdom. So, give more attention to the Word. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom...” (Colossians 3:16).

Unfortunately, many people train themselves to major on the non-essentials because they don’t know what’s truly necessary. They invest their time and energy in things that don’t count for eternity. It brings to mind the story of two sisters, Martha and Mary, who each responded differently to the Lord Jesus’ visit to their home (Read Luke 10:38-42).

Martha was consumed with the numerous tasks required in hosting a guest, along with much anxiety and distraction. In contrast, Mary chose to sit at the Master's feet to absorb His teachings and engage in fellowship with Him, and the Lord commended her choice.

When Martha expressed her frustration, the Master gently replied: “...Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41-42). The Master pointed out that Martha’s priorities were misplaced.

You must prize the Word of God above all else because there’s so much you will never know or understand otherwise. Focus on what truly matters—your study and meditation on the Word and your fellowship with the Holy Spirit. It’ll keep you always on the path of ever-increasing glory, victory, success and prosperity, and you’ll live a life that truly pleases and honours the Lord.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for your Word which reveals your wisdom and purpose. I focus on the one thing that matters most—my fellowship with you in, through, and by the Word. I walk in your wisdom, guided by your Spirit, and I yield myself completely to your purpose, fulfilling your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨UNDERSTANDING THE FATHER'S HEART✨

SCRIPTURE :📖For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them... (Luke 9:56).

In praying to effect changes, especially in your town, city or nation, a clear understanding of the Word and insight into the mind of God is important. For example, consider a scenario where a group of Christians in a city or nation are praying in agreement that they don’t want a particular government official. Meanwhile, there’re other Christians who work with that same leader who may be praying every day for the leader to succeed and remain in office.

While those declaring a change may be justified, God also considers the prayers of His children who are standing in faith for that leader. It reveals something about the nature of God—His fatherly nature. You may expect Him to act in a certain way and He doesn’t. It’s because He thinks differently. His actions are governed by His love, mercy, and purpose.

Consider the case of James and John in Luke 9:54-56. They were offended by those who did not plan adequately to receive the Lord Jesus and asked, “...Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?” (Luke 9:54). But Jesus rebuked them, saying, “...Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them...” (Luke 9:55-56).

The Master demonstrated the Father’s heart of love and mercy throughout His ministry. He understood His purpose and remained committed to fulfilling it according to the will of the Father. God's nature is consistent. He is merciful and loving. He operates as wisdom, always seeking to save and to bring His children into alignment with His divine purpose.

Understanding this helps us appreciate why God may not always act the way we expect Him to, even when we think our desires are justified. As you give yourself to the Word and the guidance of His Spirit, you will increasingly know and walk in His perfect will and plan in every situation and be able to pray effectively with direction and precision.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for your love, mercy and wisdom. I recognize your fatherly heart, and I yield myself to your will and purpose, and declare that your love and grace prevail in my life and in the lives of those around me as I walk in alignment with your Word and fulfil your purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TOPIC :✨TRUE AUTHORITY LIES WITH GOD AND HIS CHURCH✨

SCRIPTURE 📖:And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule (Daniel 4:26).

The Bible, in Daniel 4, tells of how Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that troubled him deeply. In this dream, he saw a magnificent tree that grew tall and strong, providing shelter and food for all living creatures. However, an angelic being ordered that the tree be cut down, leaving only a stump bound with iron and bronze. This dream perplexed the king, and he consulted Daniel, a prophet of God, to interpret it.

Daniel revealed that the tree was the king himself, and he would be humbled for his pride until he acknowledged that "...the heavens do rule" (Daniel 4:26). A year later, being yet unrepentant, Nebuchadnezzar was struck with madness; for seven years, he lived like an animal, eating grass and roaming the fields.

According to Daniel 4:17, this decree came from the "watchers": "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." The "watchers" here refer to angelic beings assigned to oversee matters on earth with authority to enforce God's will.

Nebuchadnezzar thought he ruled the world until he was compelled to acknowledge the rulership of the heavens. It’s the same today. Those who falsely claim absolute authority over others, operating under the delusion that their influence gives them control over the nations, don’t realize that true authority lies with God and His heavenly Kingdom. All power belongs to the Lord, and He executes His judgements on earth through the Church: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18).

We enforce God’s will in our world: “All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence” (Ephesians 1:20-23 MSG). Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the assurance that the heavens do rule and that all power belongs to you. I rejoice knowing that all the kingdoms of this world will submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I declare that your will and purpose prevail over the nations, and your authority reigns supreme, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Romans 8:29 says, *_“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate....”_* Predestination is at work in you. God has a divine plan for your life, and He has set events and their sequence in motion in line with His divine plan.

Consider John the Baptist, for example, whose entire ministry was for the sole purpose of making the Messiah known to Israel. God could have simply told John where to find Jesus, but John had to follow God's instructions and wait for the sign he was given: *_“...Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit”_* (John 1:33 NKJV).

Finally, Jesus stood before him, and John recognized Him (John 1:29-34). It unfolded precisely according to God’s divine plan. Consider, too, Samuel’s intriguing visit to anoint one of Jesse's sons as king (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Samuel thought he had found the Lord’s anointed when he saw Eliab, with his impressive stature. But God said, “Not him, for I have rejected him” (1 Samuel 16:7). One by one, Jesse brought seven of his sons before Samuel, and each time God said, “Not this one.”

God could have simply told Samuel who to anoint, but He allowed the process to unfold step by step. Finally, Samuel asked Jesse, “Are here all thy children?” Jesse admitted that there was still one more son, David, who was tending the sheep. When David was brought before Samuel, the Lord said, *_“...Arise, anoint him: for this is he”_* (1 Samuel 16:12). God's divine plan for David came to pass according to His preordained design.

God has a plan for your life and it’s a good one. He has predestined your life for His glory, and He knows exactly where you are in His divine plan. You don’t need to be in a hurry or get in a frenzy trying to fulfil His destiny for your life. He has all the events and their sequence planned out in line with His divine purpose.

Yours is to follow the path which He’s prearranged ahead of time. Ephesians 2:10 AMPC says, *_“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”_*

*PRAYER*

*_Dear Father, I trust you wholeheartedly, knowing that you have predestined my life for your glory. My life is a testimony of your faithfulness, and I yield myself to your perfect will, ever advancing and fulfilling all you have called me to do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._*

*_“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord for saving my soul!
