RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Think Beyond Yourself ** Tuesday 7th June . Pastor Chris

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 (Ephesians 3:20).

Our opening verse shows that there’s power working in us; power from within. It’s the power of the Holy Spirit. You can make that power work for you every time. The onus is on you to put it to work, for it’s in your spirit. 2 Timothy 1:6 says, “...Stir up the gift of God, which is in thee....”
We see a demonstration or release of this kind of power from the Master Himself in Matthew chapter fourteen. A great multitude had thronged Him, and He was moved with compassion towards them, and He ministered to them and healed many who were sick and afflicted. However, when it was evening, His disciples suggested He dismiss the crowd: “...It is already very late, and this is a lonely place. Send the people away and let them go to the villages to buy food for themselves” (Matthew 14:15 GNB), they urged Him.

Now, something remarkable happened. Instead of sending the people away, Jesus commanded them to sit on the grass, and took five loaves of bread and two fishes, blessed them, broke them and gave them to His disciples to feed the multitude. He put the power in Him in use, to bless others.

Always, you must think beyond yourself. If you’re only concerned about yourself, and all you want is to please yourself, the power in you may never work. God’s power is given to you for the Kingdom of God, for you to be a blessing to your world. You’re the vent of God’s glory and power, His outstretched hands of blessing to your world; never forget it.
You’ll discover greater treasures the Lord has deposited in you as you reach out to help others. Understand your calling as a conduit of divine blessings. That’s what brings real joy and fulfilment —thinking beyond yourself to impact the lives of others positively.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a conduit of divine blessings. You’ve blessed me and made me a vent for your grace, mercies, wisdom, glory and power, to the praise of your majesty. Your light shines through me today, ever so brightly, and your power is manifest to bring succour, delight, and joy to many in my world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: || Philippians 2:3-4 MSG Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. 4 Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. ||
|| Romans 15:1-3 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. ||

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Victory In The Word** Monday 6th June . Pastor Chris

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life...(John 3:36).

God’s plan for our lives is for us to grow and make progress from glory to glory. However, not many Christians have accepted this as a reality, which can either be attributed to their not-so- good experiences or to their having been wrongly taught. That’s why you may find a preacher say to his congregation, “I too get discouraged sometimes.” One could mistake such comments for honesty and humility, but it actually shows ignorance of spiritual realities.
Some people, however, like hearing such things, and even speak against ministers who, according to them, “pretend” as though everything is always all right. It’s not pretense; that’s the reality. Everything is always all right, because we’re in charge and in control. We own, and dominate this world. Jesus made it so for us. Hallelujah.

When you find people in whose lives God’s Word isn’t real, they think that everyone else experiences the same thing. But it’s not so. Your experience, good or bad, doesn’t negate or nullify the truth and power of God’s Word. The very statement, “I get discouraged sometimes,” is a traumatic affirmation; it’s defeatist, because one vital thing God requires of us is courage. He admonishes us copiously in the Scriptures never to be discouraged.
To get discouraged means you trusted in your own ability, and not in the Lord. It means you allowed your feelings to dictate the circumstances of your existence. When you believe God’s Word, it doesn’t mean your faith won’t be tested, but that’s where you prove that what you’ve come to believe is real.
Believing is a process of possession. When you believe, that thing you believe settles in your spirit. It then moves from something you believe in, to something you know; something you possess. At that point, it can never be taken away from you, because the believer is a “haver”: “He that believeth...hath” (John 3:36).
Never be discouraged. Even in the face of daunting challenges, maintain your confession; stand your ground. Apply the same principles in your health, finances, academics, family, etc.

CONFESSION
I am who God says I am and I can do what He says I can do. I’m strong in faith at all times, with my face set before the Lord, who indeed, is my strong tower and refuge; my God in whom I eternally trust.

Further Study: || 2 Corinthians 2:14 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. ||
|| 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ||
|| Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. ||

Worship and Communion Service With Pastor Chris...for the month of June ( Prayer and Restoration)

Worship and Communion Service With Pastor Chris...

Let me explain briefly to you what worship and communion are and why we're doing them...

Don't hold on to doctrinal expose... you'll understand prayer when you see me demonstrate it.

This is that kind of meeting.

What's worship?

Worship is the recognition and appreciation of the goodness, kindness and righteousness of God. It's recognition and appreciation of His character. Promoting the character of God. It shows who He is in your life and separate Him from all else. You're saying Lord I know it's You and He'll do more for you. Recognition of His personality. It's important for you.

He blesses you more and brings greater revelation of God. We worship only God. Not men, angels, things or creation. These can't make us grow or reflects us to us. God reveals my future, life, personality and Hid purpose for my life...

Men that encounter God receive revelation for them and about God. It's more than a ritual.

That's why you should give your attention to God in church. You can't worship anyhow you choose...

Cain and Abel offered sacrifice to God. Cain offered to God what he had. His offering was rejected. Abel gave what God wanted.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:23‭-‬24 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jhn.4.23-24.KJV.

God is a Spirit. Almost everything is a god in India. The Father seeks for those that will worship God in spirit and in truth. Yes, God knows your mind but wants you to open your mouth to pray, not, think these words...

Jesus spoke words in prayer. God's a Spirit and must worship Him His way in reality...

You must worship God in spirit only when you're born in spirit. Nechademus wanted to know how it would be possible for anyone to be born again...

Journey from the womb to the tomb. That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit...

These are the words of Jesus... He wasnt a philosopher...

Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,   To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Acts 26:17‭-‬18 KJV
http://bible.com/1/act.26.17-18.KJV.

Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:  But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.  For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.  Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:  That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Acts 26:19‭-‬23 KJV
http://bible.com/1/act.26.19-23.KJV.

And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.  But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.  For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.  King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
Acts 26:24‭-‬27 KJV
http://bible.com/1/act.26.24-27.KJV.

Do you believe the prophet that foretold of the virgin birth? It happened... with all the things that was said about Jesus, He couldn't be an ordinary man.

Messiah the Son of Joseph and Messiah the Son of David.

One suffering and the other as a king... you err because you know not the scriptures...

The Lord suffered for us... for our salvation... wounded and despised... He bore our grieves... He suffered for our sins, and carried our sorrows...

The Jew's where the ones given the law...

Galatians 3:13-14

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13‭-‬14 KJV
http://bible.com/1/gal.3.13-14.KJV.

Through Abraham and through Christ Jesus, the Gentiles were set free.

Acts 13:38-40.

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:  And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Acts 13:38‭-‬39 KJV
http://bible.com/1/act.13.38-39.KJV.

All nations are brought as seed through Jesus.

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3:26‭-‬29 KJV
http://bible.com/1/gal.3.26-29.KJV.
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John 8:24 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jhn.8.24.KJV.

If you don't believe in Jesus, what other hope do you have? Sin is against God. Look for the message on the consequences of sin I preached...

Something is happening already by the Spirit of God...

Words of prophecy... a child is healed of spinal cord injury...

That night that Jesus broke bread with His disciples was different... He told them that this is my body which is broken for you, this do in remembrance of me...

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:26 KJV
http://bible.com/1/dan.9.26.KJV.

Isaiah said it's for our transgressions, not for His transgressions...

Drink...

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;   For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 26:26‭-‬28 KJV
http://bible.com/1/mat.26.26-28.KJV.

A new testament... for the remission of sin... never to come back again... once and for all...

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.  For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:13‭-‬16 KJV
http://bible.com/1/heb.9.13-16.KJV.

Serve the living God...

He had to die... otherwise, our sins would have remained. The will will only be enforced after the testator dies...

The woman ran to Jesus because she had seen that Jesus had the power to forgive sins...

Jesus said to the woman to go and sin no more...

He was on His way to the cross to bear that woman's sins...

Jesus came to the mountain to pray that special night...  He so prayed that sweat came like drops of blood... Judas came with a band of soldiers... to arrest the miracle worker... Judas hugged and kissed Him...

The soldiers staggered when He introduced Himself... the power of God wouldn't change you without your consent...

They released a criminal in place of Jesus... How many of us are still ashamed of Jesus today...

Who Jesus is...

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Colossians 1:19 KJV
http://bible.com/1/col.1.19.KJV.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews 1:1‭-‬3 KJV
http://bible.com/1/heb.1.1-3.KJV.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.  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.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:1‭-‬5‭, ‬12‭-‬14 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jhn.1.1-14.KJV.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;  (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
1 John 1:1‭-‬2 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1jn.1.1-2.KJV.

Life encapsulated in physical body is Jesus. He's life eternal.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.   Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.   For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:24‭-‬26 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jhn.5.24-26.KJV

Jesus has inherent life in Himself like the Father...

The Son of the living God... He's real... receive His word and act on it...

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:10 KJV
http://bible.com/1/rom.10.10.KJV...

If you believe, say it and be saved... That's how salvation comes...

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9 KJV
http://bible.com/1/rom.10.9.KJV.

Salvation is for everyone...

This world cannot continue forever. Everything happening has been foretold by the scriptures...

I'll be teaching on these in the coming days... make sure you join...

Lift up your hands and worship the Lord... honour Him...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Follow The Word** Sunday 5th June . Pastor Chris

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed (John 8:31).

Someone may say, “I’m following Jesus Christ.” But really, how do you follow Jesus? You follow Him in the Word, through the Word, and by the Word. The proof that you’re following Him is in doing His Word; living by the Word. He said, “If you love me, keep my words” (John 14:15). Jesus and the Word are one. Therefore, to love Him is to be quick to do the Word at all times.

There’re people who say, “I’ll do whatever God tells me to do, if I hear His voice.” What such people don’t realize is that God already said all He needed to say to His children, through the written Word—the Bible. If you want to hear His voice today, study the Word. That’s the voice of the Father, the voice of Jesus, and the voice of the Holy Spirit.

If you don’t act upon, or live by the written Word, even if God spoke to you from heaven, it won’t make much difference; you still won’t act. Everything He says is always consistent with the written Word, the Bible. The Bible is a compendium of His out-breathings given to us to live by: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

Live by the Word, and you’ll never lose your way, because the Word of God is light. The Word gives you a way of life, and the right mentality. Live a purposeful and focused life through the Word. Don’t live by your imaginations, observations, assumptions or worldly wisdom; follow the Word, and you’ll be a true success.

                    PRAYER

Dear Father, your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path! I don’t function with the wisdom of this world, for Christ is made unto me, wisdom. My heart is open to receive the instructions in your Word, propelling me in the direction of your will and purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: || John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ||

|| James 1:22-25 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ||

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Let Him Take Charge Of Your Life** Saturday 4th June . Pastor Chris

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8).

There’re people who, as much as they desire to serve God with their lives, find themselves struggling with several things that eventually get them miserable in life. The reason for this is clear: it’s either they don’t have the Holy Spirit, or they’re not yielded to Him. If indeed they’ve received Him to live in them, He’s not in charge of their lives.

No one can successfully live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. He’s the One that brings the power of God into your life to strengthen you, and for you to live effectively as a Christian. He teaches you the Word, so you can know God’s perfect will, and then guides you to live in, and fulfil, your destiny in Christ.

With the Holy Spirit, your potentials are limitless. His presence in your life makes you energetic, fervent, efficient, excellent and bold. He’s not a mere power or influence; He’s the power of God, the active personality of the Godhead. Let Him take charge of your life, and there’ll be nothing you can’t do. He’s the help and power you need for all things. He gives you the dynamic ability to effect changes, and the divine enablement to accomplish any task and change hopeless situations.

Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13). He knew that with the Holy Spirit, he had all he needed to live the transcendent life, and gloriously fulfil his divine destiny in Christ. No wonder his submission in 2 Corinthians 3:5 AMP: “Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God.”
Become sufficient in His sufficiency. Yield to Him to work through you, and walk in you, and your struggles will be over. When He takes charge of your life, you’ll experience success, increase, progress and victories only.

CONFESSION
God hasn’t given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind! The Lord is my help and my ability. He’s my strength and my sufficiency; therefore, I can do all things by His power that works in me mightily. I’m effective and effectual in the communication and expression of my faith. Glory to God!

Further Study: || John 16:14 AMP He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. ||
|| John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. ||
|| Romans 8:11 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. ||

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **HE REIGNS THROUGH YOU** Friday 3rd June . Pastor Chris
 
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
You were born, predestined, and assigned to reign in this life. Revelation 5:10 says Christ has made us “...kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Then interestingly, in 1 Corinthians 15:25, we read that “...he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.”
Jesus isn’t physically present in the earth today, yet He’s reigning through those who “receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness.” The only way He reigns is when we reign through righteousness. The understanding of the doctrine of righteousness makes us masters in life. It gives you the sense of dominion, such that nothing moves you; you’re in charge, and in control of circumstances. You make things happen!
Righteousness is God’s nature, and that nature was imparted to you when you were born again. Therefore, exercise dominion. Live as the king that you are. Don’t talk as though you’re of this world. Refuse to fear. Speak with authority, for all of nature is under a sovereign decree to hear and respond to you. Refuse to beg, for kings don’t beg.
You don’t even have to beg God for anything or to do anything for you; pray in accordance with His Word and make decrees in the Name of Jesus. Dominate your environment and take charge of the circumstances of your life. Boldly affirm prosperity, divine health, and progress for you and your loved ones, and you’d see them come to pass.
Your words have power, for you’re a king: “Where the word of a king is, there is power...” (Ecclesiastes 8:4). Even now, declare, “I function with the Spirit of dominion! Christ reigns through me! His righteousness is expressed through me today. The world is subdued before me. Blessed be God!”
CONFESSIONGlory to God in the highest, I’ve received grace to reign and rule in life as a king. Therefore, I exercise dominion over circumstances. I manifest the glory of God and I declare prosperity, health, progress, glory, divine favours, and peace for me and my loved ones. The Word of God prevails and produces results in me today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Appreciate Who You Are** Thursday 2nd June . Pastor Chris
  
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6).

As a new creation in Christ Jesus, you’re peculiar; you’re the first and the best of God’s creatures: “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18). You’re the crowning beauty, and the highest of everything God made. You’re His excellently crafted masterpiece (Ephesians
2:10).
Psalm 139:14 says you’re exceptional, and wonderfully made; you’re God’s marvellous work of art; and the Psalmist said, “My soul knows this very well!” You should know it too and be conscious that you’re God’s best. Therefore, love and enjoy yourself. Appreciate who you are. Don’t wish you were someone else.

There’re so many good things inside you. You’re a pearl of great value. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t really love anyone else. Don’t wait for others to compliment you; stand in front of a mirror and appreciate what God made. Compliment yourself. Affirm that you’re beautiful, and then, give God praise for making you so excellent and full of glory. Look at yourself in the mirror and say, “Lord, I love what you made!”

Understand that you exude His glory. Therefore, love Him, and love what He made—YOU. Enjoy every moment of your life. Look always at the positive side of things. Appreciate good things everywhere you see them. Appreciate you, and then appreciate others around you. Challenge your mind in the positive direction of life; and you’ll be amazed at the

results.You’re God’s number one! This is what you should say
to yourself always. Never judge yourself by what people say about you; what matters is what God thinks of you. And you know what? He thinks highly of you, which is why He invested so much in you. Glory to His Name forever!

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Thank you for making me the expression of your glory and grace, and for adorning my heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit! O, what a joy to know that I’m your excellently crafted masterpiece! I’ll tell of your wonderful deeds and wondrous love always. Amen!
