RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SPEAK AND CREATE WHAT YOU WANT .

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (Hebrews 11:3).

What we just read in our opening verse reveals your limitless power and glory in Christ Jesus: what you can do with the Word (rhema) of God in your mouth. Recall that in the Book of Genesis, the Bible says the earth was a chaotic mass. But after the Holy Spirit incubated upon it, God gave the Word, and everything He spoke leapt into being. This is the same ability He’s given us; the ability to speak whatever we want into existence.

An important key to this is meditation. Just as the Holy Spirit brooded (hovered, fluttered) upon the earth’s chaotic mass, when there’s a situation you want to change, take out time to meditate on God’s Word. During that meditation, there’ll arise within you inspired words that’ll cause the change(s) that you desire.

Hosea 14:2 says, “Take with you words....” what do you want in your life? The Bible says without the Word was not anything made that was made! So, what do you want to “make”? Don’t cry about the situation; don’t gripe over the pain! The question is, what do you want to see? What do you want to create out of that precarious situation? The Bible says God commanded light to shine out of darkness. Don’t focus on the problem; focus on what you want and speak it forth.

Don’t say, “I have cancer” or “I have diabetes”; it’s not about what “you have”; it’s what you want in place of that cancer or diabetes. God had darkness at the beginning, but He spoke light into being. You’re created in His image and in His likeness, with His ability in your spirit, and His Word in your mouth. Speak and create what you want. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I take advantage of the creative power of God in my words to frame my glorious life and environment in line with God’s perfect will for me. As I speak forth words of blessings concerning my life, health, finances, loved ones and ministry, the Holy Spirit incubates on them and they become real. I walk in blessings and ever-increasing glory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

_We trust you have been blessed by this devotional. We invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:_

*_“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! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”_*

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD

*IT'S ABOUT YOUR DIVINE ORIGIN*

_And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29)._

The life of Jesus on earth was an unending stream of extraordinary blessings, victories and manifestation of the divine life. He was conscious of His divinity and oneness with the Father and spoke about it unequivocally. In John 8:42, He said, _“… for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.”_ As a result of this connection, He said, _“All things that the Father hath are mine…” (John 16:15)._

Christ’s purpose in the earth was to bring you into fellowship with the Father. The Bible says our fellowship (oneness) is with the Father and with the Son, Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3). You’re an heir of God and a joint-heir with the resurrected Christ (Romans 8:17). Therefore, everything He owns belongs to you. You can affirm boldly, _“All things that the Father hath are mine….”_ The Kingdom of God is yours.

The Bible says Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). Since you have Him, you have all that He owns. Blessed be God! No wonder Paul said, _“Therefore let no man glory in men…” (1 Corinthians 3:21)._ Don’t pride yourself in any human connections. Rather, recognise and celebrate your divine ancestry and all that your union with Christ has bequeathed to you.

CONFESSION:

I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ, and I celebrate my divine ancestry and the extraordinary blessings of my oneness with the Lord. In my path are angels, men, women and resources to help me fulfil my purpose for being and live a tremendously victorious life. I walk in the reality of my inheritance in Christ today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

_Romans 8:17; And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together._

_Colossians 1:12; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:_

Where are you having problems?

*CSS - BACKGROUNDS 3*

*Set the Background Attachment*
Background attachment determines whether a background image is fixed or scrolls with the rest of the page. The following example demonstrates how to set the fixed background image:

.
.
.
<p style=”background-image:url(pattern1.gif); background-attachment: fixed;”>
This paragraph has a fixed background image.</p>
.
.
.


The following example demonstrates how to set the scrolling background image.

.
.
.
<p style=”background-image:url(pattern1.gif); background-attachment: scroll;”>
This paragraph has a scrolling background image.</p>
.
.
.


*Shorthand Property*
You can use the background property to set all the background properties at once. For example:

.
.
.
<p style=”background:url(pattern1.gif) repeat fixed 100px 50px;”>
This paragraph has a fixed repeated background image.</p>
.
.
.

*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL*

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD

*YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED*

_After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1)._

The underlined words spoken by God to Abraham in our opening verse reminds of what He said later to Aaron in _Numbers 18:20: “…I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.”_ We understand from the Scriptures that the Lord apportioned inheritance to the different tribes of Israel except the Levites, to whom He said, “I am your inheritance.”

How rich can you get when the Lord is your inheritance? How glorious would your life be? _Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”_ Since this is true, then the earth and everything in it belongs to you because you’re His heir. Paul understood this and said, _“…all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21)._

Now you can understand why your prayer times shouldn’t be spent asking God for things for yourself. What do you want to ask of one who’s already given you everything, including Himself? You have Christ, and Christ is everything. This truth should change your mentality and life forever.

Is it strength you require? The Bible says He’s your strength! Therefore, testify like the Psalmist, _“… the LORD is the strength of my life…” (Psalm 27:1)_. Is it wisdom you think you need? The Bible says Christ is your wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30).

You’ve been granted all that you require for life and godliness; you’ve been launched into a life of glory, excellence and superabundance. No wonder the Psalmist exclaimed, _“The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage” (Psalm 16:6)._ All things are yours!

CONFESSION:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. I’ve been granted all that I require for life and godliness, and I bless my world with the unsearchable riches of Christ and His Gospel that I bear, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

_Psalms 23:1 GNB; The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need._

_Ephesians 1:2-3; Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:_

_2 Peter 1:3-4; 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: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust._

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD

*STAY TRUE TO THE GOSPEL*

_We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair (2 Corinthians 4:._

The Christianity that we have today didn’t come to us on a platter of gold. If you read about Christian martyrs, you’d find that many were killed, beheaded, for their testimony of Christ. On one occasion, over six thousand men were slaughtered for their faith in Jesus Christ, and they were soldiers. They believed the Gospel with all their hearts, and nothing was going to stop them from transferring to the next generation the same faith that they had received.

All the years that you’ve probably had liberty to worship the Lord, to praise Him in the church, attend crusades and participate in life-transforming meetings, that liberty came through the deep struggle, prayers, sweat, tears, blood, faith, determination and passion of other men and women who staked their lives on the Gospel. They weren’t only persecuted, many were buried alive. Some were sawn in two; violently killed, for their faith in Jesus Christ.

Persecution of Christians is still happening in several countries today. Some countries have concentration camps where Christians are subjected to harsh and heinous treatments for their faith in Jesus. A very recent report officially shows that Christians are the most persecuted group in the world.

I’m bringing this to you so you understand that the faith of Jesus Christ that we have, the message of Christ that we’ve believed, is worth everything. In spite of the persecution, those before us maintained their faith and stayed true to the Gospel. It should and must be the same in our day.

No matter what’s happening in your city or nation, stay true to Christ. Don’t vacillate. As read in our theme verse, we don’t give up; we don’t quit. Preach the Word in and out of season. Nothing should be terrifying or intimidating enough to keep you quiet, for greater is He that’s in you than all the adversaries and adversities in the world. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION:

Irrespective of the tribulation, distress, persecution or peril in this world, I’m more than a conqueror through Him that loved me—Christ Jesus, my Lord! I’m persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor anything, shall separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. I remain steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

_Romans 8:35-39; Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?(36) As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.(37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.(38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,(39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord._

_1 Thessalonians 3:7-8 NLT; So we have been greatly encouraged in the midst of our troubles and suffering, dear brothers and sisters, because you have remained strong in your faith.( It gives us new life to know that you are standing firm in the Lord._

*STAY TRUE TO THE GOSPEL*

_We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair (2 Corinthians 4:._

The Christianity that we have today didn’t come to us on a platter of gold. If you read about Christian martyrs, you’d find that many were killed, beheaded, for their testimony of Christ. On one occasion, over six thousand men were slaughtered for their faith in Jesus Christ, and they were soldiers. They believed the Gospel with all their hearts, and nothing was going to stop them from transferring to the next generation the same faith that they had received.

All the years that you’ve probably had liberty to worship the Lord, to praise Him in the church, attend crusades and participate in life-transforming meetings, that liberty came through the deep struggle, prayers, sweat, tears, blood, faith, determination and passion of other men and women who staked their lives on the Gospel. They weren’t only persecuted, many were buried alive. Some were sawn in two; violently killed, for their faith in Jesus Christ.

Persecution of Christians is still happening in several countries today. Some countries have concentration camps where Christians are subjected to harsh and heinous treatments for their faith in Jesus. A very recent report officially shows that Christians are the most persecuted group in the world.

*CSS - SYNTAX 2*

*The Child Selectors*
You have seen the descendant selectors. There is one more type of selector, which is very similar to descendants but have different functionality. Consider the following example:

body > p {color: #000000;}


This rule will render all the paragraphs in black if they are a direct child of the <body> element. Other paragraphs put inside other elements like <div> or <td> would not have any effect of this rule.

*The Attribute Selectors*
You can also apply styles to HTML elements with particular attributes. The style rule below will match all the input elements having a type attribute with a value of text:

input[type=”text”] {color: #000000;}


The advantage to this method is that the <input type="submit" /> element is unaffected, and the color applied only to the desired text fields.

The following are rules applied to attribute selector.

p[lang] - Selects all paragraph elements with a lang attribute.
p[lang="fr"] - Selects all paragraph elements whose lang attribute has a value of exactly "fr".
p[lang~="fr"] - Selects all paragraph elements whose lang attribute contains the word "fr".
p[lang|="en"] - Selects all paragraph elements whose lang attribute contains values that are exactly "en", or begin with "en-".

*Multiple Style Rules*
You may need to define multiple style rules for a single element. You can define these rules to combine multiple properties and corresponding values into a single block as defined in the following example:

h1 {
color:#36C;
font-weight: normal
letter-spacing: .4em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
text-transform: lowercase;
}

Here all the property and value pairs are separated by a semicolon ( ; ). You can keep them in a single line or multiple lines. For better readability, we keep them in separate lines. For a while, don't bother about the properties mentioned in the above block. These properties will be explained in the coming chapters and you can find the complete detail about properties studying CSS References.

*Grouping Selectors*
You can apply a style to many selectors if you like. Just separate the selectors with a comma, as given in the following example:

h1, h2, h3 {
color:#36C;
font-weight: normal
letter-spacing: .4em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
text-transform: lowercase;
}


This define style rule will be applicable to h1, h2 and h3 element as well. The order of the list is irrelevant. All the elements in the selector will have the corresponding declarations applied to them. You can combine the various ID selectors together as shown below:

#content, #footer, #supplement {
position: absolute;
left: 510px;
width: 200px;
}


Here is a comprehensive example with result shown in images uploaded below. Notice the difference between using the child selector in this example and using the descendant selector in the example from the last lesson. Descendant selector 'selects' any child, grand-child, great grand-child of that element that the selector points to. However you can see here that the child selector only 'selects' the child elements pointed to - like the em child-element of the up tag in our example below is selected by the 'ul > em' but the em element inside the li tag is not selected because it not a child element of the ul tag, it is a grand-child element.

Please carefully observe this two examples, you will get a better understanding.

*SEE YOURSELF THROUGH THE WORD*

_There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1)._

In our opening verse, the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul isn’t telling us that there’re two groups: those in Christ Jesus who walk in the flesh, and those in Christ Jesus who aren’t walking in the flesh. That’s not the essence of His communication; rather, He’s holding out a picture of who you really are.

When you study and understand the New Testament, you’d observe what’s called the “Mirror Principle”; God’s Word is a mirror. You’re what you see in the Word (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Therefore, don’t read our theme verse and assume you’re not free from condemnation or that you’re still “walking in the flesh” because you err sometimes; no!

Read the 9th verse of the same chapter; it clarifies it by saying, _“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9)._ That’s God talking! When He describes those in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, He’s referring to you.

Therefore, see yourself through the Word. Now that you’re born again, there’s no condemnation for you. When you understand this and live accordingly, you’ll never again struggle with sinful habits, bad thoughts or works of the flesh. The Bible says, _“Sin shall not have dominion over you” (Romans 6:14);_ see yourself thus, for that’s how God sees you.

God knows that if you saw yourself the way He sees you, you’d act accordingly. Accept who He’s made you—His righteousness in Christ Jesus—and walk in that light. Glory to God!

CONFESSION:

I’m a child of God, with the nature of God in my spirit. I’m justified before God, without guilt, fear, inferiority or condemnation. Sin has no power over me and I can’t be entangled by any yoke of bondage. I’m conscious of my nature of righteousness and walk accordingly. Glory to God!

FURTHER STUDY:

_Romans 6:11-15; Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.(12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.(13) Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.(14) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.(15) What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid._

_Romans 8:2-4; For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.(3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit._

_Galatians 2:20-21; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.(21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain._

*CSS─ SYNTAX 1*

A CSS comprises of style rules that are interpreted by the browser and then applied to the corresponding elements in your document. A style rule is made of three parts:

Selector: A selector is an HTML tag at which a style will be applied. This could be any tag like <h1> or <table> etc.

Property: A property is a type of attribute of HTML tag. Put simply, all the HTML attributes are converted into CSS properties. They could be color, border etc.

Value: Values are assigned to properties. For example, color property can have the value either red or #F1F1F1 etc.

You can put CSS Style Rule Syntax as follows:

Selector {property: value;}


Example: You can define a table border as follows:

table {border: 1px solid #C00;}


Here table is a selector and border is a property and the given value 1px solid #C00 is the value of that property. You can define selectors in various simple ways based on your comfort. Let me put these selectors one by one.

*The Type Selectors*
This is the same selector we have seen above. Again, one more example to give a color to all level 1 headings:

H1 {color: #36CFFF;}


*The Universal Selectors*
Rather than selecting elements of a specific type, the universal selector quite simply matches the name of any element type:

* {color: #000000;}


This rule renders the content of every element in our document in black.

*The Descendant Selectors*
Suppose you want to apply a style rule to a particular element only when it lies inside a particular element. As given in the following example, the style rule will apply to <em> element only when it lies inside the <ul> tag.

ul em {color: #000000;}


*The Class Selectors*
You can define style rules based on the class attribute of the elements. All the elements having that class will be formatted according to the defined rule.

.blue {color: blue;}


This rule renders the content in black for every element with class attribute set to black in our document. You can make it a bit more particular. For example:

H1.blue {color: blue;}


This rule renders the content in black for only <h1> elements with class attribute set to black. You can apply more than one class selectors to a given element. Consider the following example:

<p class="center bold"> This paragraph will be styled by the classes center and bold. </p>

*The ID Selectors*
You can define style rules based on the id attribute of the elements. All the elements having that id will be formatted according to the defined rule.

#green {color: green;}


This rule renders the content in black for every element with id attribute set to black in our document. You can make it a bit more particular. For example:

H1#green {color: green;}


This rule renders the content in black for only <h1> elements with id attribute setto black.
The true power of id selectors is when they are used as the foundation for descendant selectors. For example:

#green h2 {color: green;}


In this example, all level 2 headings will be displayed in black color when those headings will lie within tags having id attribute set to black.

Let's give a comprehensive example. See the images uploaded below, result included.

*YOU'RE WORTH HEAVEN'S BEST*

_Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1 Peter 1:18-19)._

Your value to God is revealed in the price He paid for your salvation, which is the precious blood of Jesus Christ. It shows how priceless you really are to God.

Never be deceived by voices that tell you you’re not special or those who treat you like you’re nothing. The fact that you’re worth the blood of Jesus Christ says a lot; it defines your true value. This realization should inspire greater boldness and confidence in your spirit. Nothing is too good for you. You’re worth heaven’s best.

Meditate on this truth! Think, talk and live as God’s treasure of inestimable value. The Bible says He rejoices over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). That’s because you’re His glory and His righteousness. See yourself the way He sees you, and your faith will be more effective. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION:

My life is for the glory of God, for I was made for His pleasure. His grace, beauty and excellence are manifested in and through me. I manifest the glory and wisdom of Christ today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

_James 1:18; Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures._

_Isaiah 43:7 NKJV; Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”_

Sologzy:
I have issues with the image<img> will I create a folder with testpic.png or ... I don't understand please explain

Let's take an example. You have a picture named "testpic.png" in the same folder as your HTML document. To display the picture on the web page, this is the code:

.
.
.
<img src="testpic.png" width="50px" height="50px" alt="picture">
.
.
.

The value you give to the "alt" attribute there will display only when the image fails to show for whatever reason; maybe network failure or file corruption. You get the point?

*CSS COMMENTS*

Many times, you may need to put additional comments in your style sheet blocks. So, itis very easy to comment any part in the style sheet. You can simply put your comments inside /*.....this is a comment in style sheet.....*/. You can use /* ....*/ to comment multi-line blocks in similar way you do in C and C++ programming languages. For example:


/* This is an external style sheet file */
H1, h2, h3 {
Color: #36C;

*CSS COMMENTS*

Many times, you may need to put additional comments in your style sheet blocks. So, itis very easy to comment any part in the style sheet. You can simply put your comments inside /*.....this is a comment in style sheet.....*/. You can use /* ....*/ to comment multi-line blocks in similar way you do in C and C++ programming languages. For example:


/* This is an external style sheet file */
H1, h2, h3 {
Color: #36C;
Font-weight: normal;
Letter-spacing: .4em;
Text-transform: lowercase;
}
/* end of style rules */

following sir
please if for instance, I want to create a web site.. will I write all the code in one file or different file.. like doing heading, body, paragraph... first and the image,table,etc. in another file...

You write them in one file; one HTML file. Every thing inside the <body> segment except those that should be in the <head>: like your <title> and <style> elements stay in the <head>, your <table>, <h1> to <h6>, <p>, <img>, <a>, <div>, <span>, <up>, <ol>, <b>, <i> and all the others we've talked about go in your <body>. That's it. Understand?

*YOUR RESPONSE ACTIVATES THE POWER*

_…for he hath said…So that we may boldly say… (Hebrews 13:5-6)._

In Christianity, you believe and speak: _“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13)_. You don’t receive the Word to be quiet. If you don’t respond, the Word will do you no good.

Responding to the Word means more than “reciting” what God has said; you have to say something that’s consistent with what He has said. For example, He has said His divine power has granted you all things that pertain to life and godliness. Your response should be, “There’s no lack or want in my life, because all things are mine! I prosper everywhere and in all things to the glory of God!”

Your confession of the Word is your response to the Word; this is what will change your life and
circumstances. Every time God speaks, anything He says is loaded with power. His words are never empty. So, what has God said to you? What have you discovered about you in the Word? Respond to the Word.

Even now, speak words that are consistent with God’s divine provisions, plans and purposes in Christ. Affirm that you’re making progress and manifesting the glory of Christ everywhere. Declare that good things are happening for you, through you and around you, because you’re the seed of Abraham. Activate the power of the Word in your life.

CONFESSION:

My words are infused with divine energy, creating new and glorious realities, transforming circumstances, and changing situations to conform to God’s provisions, plans, and purposes in Christ. Thank you Lord for the reality of your ever-dependable Word in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

_Romans 10:9-10; 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.(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation._

_Philemon 1:6; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus._

*PREACH IT BOLDLY*

_But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me… ( Acts 1:._

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one come to the Father, but by Him. Be convinced and compelled by this truth, and preach it boldly. Don’t be afraid of being persecuted for proclaiming His Name.

_2 Timothy 3:12 says, “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (NIV)._ The early apostles were beaten and threatened never to proclaim the Name of Jesus. But rather than give in to the faithless religious and government authorities, they preached Christ even more boldly and filled the whole of Jerusalem with their doctrine (Acts 5:28).

There’re antichrist spirit in the world today, working against the preaching of the Gospel, but they’re not a factor, because we’ve already overcome them. _1 John 4:4 says, ‘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.’_

Emulate Paul’s resolve; nothing could daunt his love for Christ and passion for the Gospel. In Acts 20:22-24, he said, _“And now, you see, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the (Holy) Spirit and obligated and compelled by the (convictions of my own) spirit, not knowing what will befall me there. Except that the Holy Spirit clearly and emphatically affirms to me in city after city that imprisonment and suffering await me. But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have obtained from ( which was entrusted to me by) the Lord Jesus, faithfully to attest to the good news (Gospel) of God’s grace (His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing, and mercy)” (AMPC)_

Have the same conviction! This glorious Gospel which has been committed to your trust is worth everything. Preach it boldly everywhere.

PRAYER:

Precious Father, I thank you for your Word in my heart is as a burning fire shut up in my bones. I fulfil my calling as a bearer of divine truths to my world, standing firm in the faith, and undeterred to spread your righteousness around the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

_Proverbs 31:8-9; NET; Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak, for the legal rights of all the dying.(9) Open your mouth, judge in righteousness, and plead the cause of the poor and needy._

_Matthew 10:32-35; Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.(33) But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.(34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.(35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law._
