HAPPY EASTER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF THE BELOVED GOD!

HAPPY EASTER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF THE BELOVED GOD!

THE VICTORY OF CHRIST’S SACRIFICE
There’re those who ignorantly weep over the sufferings of Christ on the Cross for us, lamenting what pain and humiliation He suffered for our sake; but that suffering brought us life eternal, and ushered us into the life of victory. It was God-ordained that Christ should suffer and that the result of His suffering be glory, victory, success and prosperity for us all: “Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow” (1 Peter 1:11).

So, rather than lament we ought to declare, everyday, the victory of His death. Jesus didn’t die for nothing; His death gave mankind victory over sin and its attendant effects. By hanging on the cross as God’s sacrifice for sin, He took your place and gave you the victory. Now, God wants you not only to proclaim that victory, but to live every day in the victory of His death, burial and glorious resurrection.

In everything about your life, change has come because of the victory of Christ’s sacrifice. Jesus has brought life and immortality to the light through the gospel. No matter what you’ve desired in your life up till this point, realize that there are no limitations for you anymore following the victory of Christ’s sacrifice. Poverty, sin, sickness, defeat, failure, Satan and death can no longer hold you bound, as they’ve all been dealt with in Christ. Your total salvation – joy, health, peace, prosperity, progress, success, and victory – is the reason for the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Live with this consciousness today.

If you’re not yet born again, all you have to do is believe on Him and confess Him as Lord to receive eternal life into your spirit, and become a brand new creature in Christ, so that God’s beauty and power can be seen in you.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES... Sunday 27th March 2016.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Bless the World With Your Greatness** Sunday 27th March: Pastor Chris

GOD said to Joshua, This very day I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel...(Joshua 3:7 MSG).

There're different kinds of greatness. And those whom the Scriptures describe as great are marked by certain traits and qualities, such as the demonstration of supernatural power, signs, wonders and ability, supernatural wisdom, or enormous wealth.

Take Moses for example; his life was characterized by different signs and wonders. Deuteronomy 34:10-12 tells us, "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel."

Isaac, the Bible shows us, was wealthy. In spite of the famine and drought in the land, the Word tells us: "...the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him" (Genesis 26:13-14).

David was also great. By the anointing of God's Spirit, he did marvellous things. As a stripling, he defeated Goliath of Gath and won many battles as king of Israel. How about Daniel? The Bible shows us he was full of the wisdom of God; this was marked by the divine revelations of God that he had. He functioned with an excellent spirit (Daniel 6:3).

God has made you great, and your greatness is inborn, because you're the seed of Abraham. God wants to use you to bless your world. He wants the world to benefit from your greatness. He wants you to do great things and impact the world with His seed of greatness in you.

Therefore, pay attention to His guidance in your spirit, for ideas and innovations. Let your heart be open to Him to receive that inspiration, because it's happening even now! Receive it by faith.

PRAYER
I'm the seed of Abraham; I'm imbued with divine wisdom to affect lives positively all over the world. My mind is anointed to bring forth innovations, ideas, inventions, and solutions to bless the world. I'm supernaturally enabled to implement God-given ideas to make the world a better place, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study: || Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: ||

|| Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; ||

|| Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. ||

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES Saturday 26th March 2016

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **GET THE WORD...GET WISDOM** Saturday 26th March: Pastor Chris

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness (1 Corinthians 3:19).
If you’re going to live a victorious, prosperous and glorious life, you have to know, understand and live by the Word. The Lord Jesus once made a remarkable statement to the Jews, saying, “...Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29). Many miss it, and function outside of the wisdom of God because they’re ignorant of God’s Word. That’s why the accurate teaching of the Word is so important. God’s Word empowers and propels you to live the transcendent life.
The Word of God is the wisdom of God. It doesn’t matter what you’ve experienced in life, who your advisers are, how many books you might have read, or what you’ve seen in life, if you don’t have the Word in you, you don’t have the wisdom of God, and therefore can’t excel. The wisdom of men may take you some distance, but only the wisdom of God will take you all the way.
Wisdom is the revelation of God; it’s insight into reality. The knowledge of God’s Word inspires the wisdom of God in you to know, say, and do the right thing, at the right time, in God’s way. Consider Moses, as he stood by the Red Sea with the children of Israel, God said, “Stretch your hand over the water, and divide it!”
If he had consulted with scientists and philosophers, they probably would have queried him with indignation: “What do you mean God told you to divide such expanse of waters with a rod in your hand?“ They certainly would have thought he lost his mind. Howbeit, Moses already received the Word from the Lord, and was therefore propelled by wisdom. He did as he was instructed, and the sea parted—congealed on both sides—for the children of Israel to walk through on dry ground (Exodus 14:21-22). It was the manifestation of the wisdom of God.
True wisdom is of the Spirit, and comes by the Word. And through meditation, the Word of God takes root in your spirit, producing in you “phronesis” (Greek)—the wisdom or mindset of the righteous.
PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the wisdom that’s been made available through your Word. Christ has been made unto me wisdom; therefore, I walk in divine wisdom. I have supernatural ability to comprehend spiritual realities, and walk in your perfect will always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
Proverbs 4:7-9 Wisdom isthe principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **VICTORY AND DOMINION IN CHRIST JESUS** Friday 25th March: Pastor Chris

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children (Hosea 4:6).
God said through the Prophet Hosea that His people are destroyed, defeated and broken because they lack knowledge. Meaning that, their bane isn’t that they lack faith or aren’t making the right effort; the reason they‘re not walking in victory and dominion is their ignorance. This, therefore, means that as God’s children, we must keep making conscious efforts to learn and be taught God’s Word. If you have more accurate knowledge of the Word, you’ll live in victory and dominion every day of your life, irrespective of any adversity.
Some people think that living in constant victory and dominion isn’t possible, and they’re wrong. To hold such a belief is to ignore what Jesus came to do. He came to give us the life and nature of God: the transcendent life. In John 10:10 (NIV), He said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” He didn’t come to establish another religion, because the world already had enough of them before He came, and Christianity isn’t a religion. The Amplified translation says He came that we might have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance—to the full, till it overflows.
Perhaps you never thought it’s God’s idea for you to enjoy your life; now you know! But how can you enjoy life when things aren’t right with you? How can you enjoy life if you’re ignorant of all that He’s provided for you in Christ? This is why you must have a personal relationship with God and His Word, so you can know how to live in absolute victory every day. The Word of God is able to build you up, and cause you to live the kind of life God desires for you: a life above struggles and pains; a life of glory, righteousness, and dominion in Christ Jesus.
PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for giving me a life of glory, success and victory. Daily, I search the Scriptures and appropriate into my life what it says concerning me in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
2 Corinthians 2:14 AMP But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ's victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **SET YOUR FOCUS ON ETERNITY** Thursday 24th March: Pastor Chris

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (1 Corinthians 15:19).
God always connects everything He does with eternity, because He thinks in terms of eternity. He’s the eternal God, and always, He deals with things that last forever. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV), the Bible says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men....” He brought eternity to men so they can see beyond this world.
Sadly, some Christians don’t realize this; hence their business, family plans, interests and relationships aren’t connected to eternity. Everything God is interested in, and all that He does, is connected to eternity. So, set your focus on eternity. Set your mind on God’s purpose for your life. That’s what counts! It has to be a revelation that you accept, endorse and imbibe into your spirit; a knowledge that’s a controlling principle in your life. That means everywhere you go, and everything you do, you’re inspired by God’s eternal purpose and perfect will for your life.
The Lord is teaching, inspiring, and strengthening you through His Word today, because He’s looking beyond the present moments, beyond the month or year you’re in presently. He’s even looking beyond all the years that you would live on earth. He’s looking at what you’ll do with your life in this world, which would determine what eternity would be for you. Therefore, look beyond this world.
CONFESSION: I’m taught of the Lord to look beyond the present moments and connect everything I do here on earth to eternity. My choices and decisions concerning my family, job and everything else about my life are founded on the Word; I’m led and guided by the Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:Colossians 3:1-2 AMP IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [Ps. 110:1.] And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
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.
Mark 8:35-38 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
1 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN:Luke 5:17-39, Deuteronomy 282 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN:Romans 2:21-29, Psalm 92-93

Why Quit???

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT.
.
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality… I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with god
“God”, I asked,
“Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”.
His answer surprised me…
“Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo ?
“Yes”, I replied.
“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
“In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.” He said.
“Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.”
He asked me. “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots”.
“I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.”
“Don’t compare yourself to others.” He said.”The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful.”"Your time will come”, God said to me.
“You will rise high”.
“How high should I rise?” I asked.
“How high will the bamboo rise?” He asked in return.
“As high as it can?” I questioned.”Yes.” He said, “Give Me glory by rising as high as you can.”
.
I left the forest and brought back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on
you. Never, Never, Never, Give up.
.
Don’t tell the GOD how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the GOD is!
