Submit To His Righteousness · Tuesday, July 23rd ·

Pastor Chris

Brethren, my heart’s desire, and prayer to God for
Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them
record that they have a zeal of God, but not
according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of
God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their
own righteousness, have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God (Romans 10:1-3).
Isaiah 64:6 tells us that man’s
righteousness: his own thought-out ways
of trying to serve and please God, are as
filthy rags. There’s no use having
confidence in your so-called good works,
to answer for you before God.

This was the dilemma of the children of Israel, which
the Apostle Paul decried in our opening text. Though
they were zealous for God and engaged in all forms of
religious devotions, purifications, oblations, etc., they
erred in three distinct ways in their pursuit of
righteousness. First, they were ignorant of God’s
righteousness, secondly, they went about to establish
their own righteousness, and thirdly, they didn’t submit
themselves to the righteousness of God.

The third point gives an indication of God’s expectation:
we’re to submit to His righteousness, because
righteousness isn’t something you attain by your own
works; it’s a gift from God. Romans 5:17 says, "…they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."
The requirement to attain the righteousness of God is
simply to believe in Jesus Christ with all your heart and
receive the gift of eternal life. That’s why it’s called
righteousness by faith.

Philippians 3:8-9 tells us to embrace this righteousness
which is through the faith of Christ Jesus: "…that I may
win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of
God by faith." This righteousness produces in you the
rightness of God, such that by instinct you know what is
right, and are able to live blameless before God. You
didn’t work to attain it, yet it works in you, having been
imparted to your spirit as a gift.

Confession
The righteousness of God has been imparted to my
spirit, therefore I have the ability to do right, and
live joyfully without blame be fore the Father, for
His righteousness in me gives me right standing with
Him, and superiority over Satan and the demons of
darkness.

"Phronesis" Is A Force · Monday, July 22nd

Pastor Chris

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding
exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the
sand that is on the sea shore (1 Kings 4:29).

The word translated "wisdom" above is the
Greek "phronesis" and it’s a force that
controls you. It’s a spiritual elixir that
locates you within the framework of God’s
will, beyond your natural understanding,
causing you to do God’s things God’s way, in
God’s time for God’s purpose! It’s also a
mind-set; an excellent mind-set that causes you to think
in a certain way and to say the right things in the right
way at the right time for the right purpose in the right
place.

This was the wisdom Solomon received from the Lord
that caused him to excel in good judgment, so much so
that the Bible says, "…there came of all people to hear
the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth,
which had heard of his wisdom" (1Kings 4:34). God gave
Solomon an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension;
he had practical wisdom.
"Phronesis" propels you to make accurate choices, sound
judgments and decisions, and to do things right the first
time. You can develop "phronesis" through studying and
meditating on the Word of God and through praying in
the Holy Ghost—speaking in tongues. "O, but I thought
the Word says Christ has been made unto us wisdom
from God?" you might ask.

Yes. But that wisdom is "sophia" (Greek) which means
theoretical wisdom, or insight into reality; it means all
the collective understanding of all things. There’s also a
third kind of wisdom called "sunesis"; this is critical
wisdom; the ability to understand concepts and see
relationships between them. It suggests a quickness of
apprehension; the penetrating consideration which
precedes actions. Whereas, "phronesis" is practical
wisdom; it’s a force that makes you do and say the right
things before you even think.

God gives you "sophia"—insight into reality, so that you
can have "sunesis"—an understanding, for the purpose
of developing in you "phronesis"; a mind-set for a
successful and extraordinary life.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that imparts
wisdom to my spirit, and gives me a mind-set for
success, victory and dominion. I deal excellently in all
my affairs today, and make accurate judgments and
decisions because of your wisdom that propels me
from within, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proclaim The Word Of Faith · Sunday, July 21st

Pastor Anita

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he
saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his
word, and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions (Psalm 107:19-20).

Someone once exclaimed out of
frustration, "I’ve been praying to God to
help me out of my situation, but nothing
has changed!" What he didn’t realize was
that it wasn’t God’s responsibility, but his’
to effect a change in that situation by
proclaiming the Word of faith. God’s
responsibility is to send you His Word; His Word is the
ingredient you require for change. Our opening text
says, "...He sent his word, and healed them, and
delivered them from their destructions."

God saves, heals, transforms and delivers through His
Word, and His Word is dependable; you can apply it to
every circumstance of life. No matter how seemingly
hopeless your condition may look, proclaim the Word in
faith, you’d have a miracle. Even if you wanted things to
go from good to better or better to best, God’s Word
will make it happen. Hebrews 4:12 (AMP) says, "For the
Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making
it active, operative, energizing and effective]…."

The Word has inherent power; when you receive it into
you and speak it forth in faith, it becomes the creative
and effectual word, producing for you a harvest of what
it says. The Word in your mouth is God talking, and it
changes things. Create your victorious life with your
faith-filled words.

Confession
I’m confident in the ability of God’s Word to prevail
and produce in me the fruit of what it says;
therefore I speak the Word with boldness today,
knowing that my prosperity is by the Word. I’m like a
tree by the streams, bearing fruits unto
righteousness, because I live by the Word

Change The Order · Saturday, July 20th
Pastor Chris

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).

From time to time, it’s important to review
the way things are going with you and
determine the areas in which you need to
make changes. Many keep doing the same
things, and expect a different result;
that’s not going to work. You’d need to
employ new ideas; bring in something new.
If you want a different result from what you’re
experiencing right now, you have to review things and
make the necessary changes. Begin with changing your
way of thinking. Perhaps at work, you’ve been noted for
not being so diligent, and now you want a change. First,
you’d have to change your attitude, and approach your
work with a new mind-set. Start practicing getting to
work early to gain time, and then learn to sit down and
finish your work within the stipulated time frame, and
excellently too. Learning to be ahead on your work, and finishing early, will give you time to review your work and ensure perfection. Do this consistently and soon enough, you’d begin to receive sterling recommendations and
promotions from your bosses.

Maybe you’ve always desired to study the Word and
pray more effectively; that won’t happen until you take
the right and necessary steps. You can start by being
more diligent with your study of the Rhapsody of
Realities devotional, and meticulously going through the
scripture references and the daily scripture reading.
Also, get the book "How To Pray Effectively Volume 1"
and study it from cover to cover (you can order a copy
at www.christembassyonlinestore.org). It will help
position you for a more vibrant and exciting study and
prayer life.

Right now, list out areas where you need to make
definite changes, and consciously write out the new
steps you’re going to take to effect those changes, and
then go for it! Make this part of your personal
development project for the quarter, or the rest of the
year, and watch your life grow for the best.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for your Spirit who guides
me to make the right and necessary changes required
for my next level of success and promotion in life.
Through your Word, wisdom is granted me to function
excellently, and I live a fruitful and effective life in
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Faith: Your Currency To Rule Your World! · Friday,
July 19th
Pastor Chris

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me
to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and
of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the
mouths of lions (Hebrews 11:32-33).

The Lord Jesus said if you have faith, as a
grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be
impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).Your
faith is your currency to rule your world.
The Bible tells us of certain men and
women who through faith dominated the
world of their time (Hebrews 11:32-33). The eleventh
chapter of the book of Hebrews gives us an insightful
chronicle of the extraordinary accomplishments of some
of these great men and women of faith: how they
subdued kingdoms, and functioned in righteousness,
standing their grounds in their convictions. Their faith
serves as an example for us today. Their deeds were
written for our inspiration and edification; letting us
know we can do the same.

Let’s reflect on the attitude of one of these great
heroes of faith—Joshua. By faith, he led the children of
Israel to march round the intimidating walls of Jericho
seven times, with the menacing walls coming down flat
on the seventh count, as they gave the victory
shout (read Joshua 6:16-20). You can live every day in
victory and dominion through faith. The Bible admonishes
us to be "...followers of them who through faith and
patience inherit the promises" (Hebrews 6:12). Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, David, the prophets of old, the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the Apostles have all set examples of faith
for us to emulate.

You can face and overcome whatever obstacle is before
you by speaking forth words of faith. You can effect
changes and do great things in your world today. You too
can manifest righteousness and give life to the dead or
hopeless situations. You can revive your business if it’s
been grounded, or keep it growing from glory to glory.
You can excel greatly in ministry, in your academics,
career or profession and be a wonder to your world.
Your faith is the currency; rule your world with it.
Confession

The Word of faith is in my heart and my mouth, and
it prevails as I speak it forth. My life is the
testimony of God’s grace and a harvest of blessings
because I walk by faith in His Word. I’m more than a
conqueror, and my faith is the victory that overcomes
the world. Halleluiah!

A Victory Parade · Thursday, July 18th ·

Pastor Anita

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 (2 Corinthians
2:14).

As Christians, we have absolute victory
over Satan and his cohorts. We belong in
the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, who leads
us in the triumphal excursions of life; it’s a
continual victory parade.

Luke 1:69-71 tells us that God "…hath
raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his
servant David; as he spake by the mouth of his holy
prophets, which have been since the world began: That
we should be saved from our enemies, and from the
hand of all that hate us." This came into effect with the
coming of the Lord. Thus, whoever may hate you, or plan
evil against you, will never be able to overpower you, for
Christ is your victory. Concerning your adversaries, the
Word says: "When the wicked, even mine enemies and
my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell" (Psalm 27:2).

You don’t have to pray against the wicked or your
enemies from coming against you; they’re free to come
out against you. However, their end has been
predetermined: they’ll stumble and fall. Never live in
fear, or respond to circumstances out of fear; you’re a
victor in Christ Jesus. The Bible says, "And having spoiled
principalities and powers, he made a shew of them
openly, triumphing over them in it" (Colossians 2:15).
When Jesus defeated Satan, and the principalities and
powers of darkness, you were in Him. You were in Him
when He paraded them in their despoiled state,
wounded, broken, and rendered helpless.

Now in Luke 10:19, He says, "Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means
hurt you." What a life He’s given us; a life of victory
through the Word, and dominion by the Spirit.

Confession

I go forth today, in victory and dominion over Satan,
the cohorts of darkness, and the circumstances of
life. I experience the power and supernatural grace
of God today, as I make manifest the savour of the
knowledge of Christ, in every place, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

Simply Act On His Word...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Ph.D

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22).

Matthew 14 gives us an account of how, on a certain evening, the disciples got into a ship to cross to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, ahead of Jesus. During their voyage, they were startled to see a man walking towards them on the water, and cried out in fear. Jesus was that man, and He immediately assuaged their fears, saying, "...Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid" (Matthew 14:27). Then, Peter answering, said, "....Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water" (Matthew 14:28); and the Master said to him,"Come" (Matthew 14:29).

Peter then stepped out of the ship and walked on the water to meet Jesus. When the Master said, " Come", any of disciples could have stepped out with Peter into the water, but only Peter did. Imagine how much more glorious and inspiring it would have been to read that the entire disciples walked on water!

It's like what happens even today with many in the Church. When the Word is given, maybe a word on healing, finances or on any other subject, only those who personalize the Word, and take corresponding action, will have it produce results in their lives. It might be a simple" get up," "walk," "come," or an instruction to give an offering: act on it immediately. Dont wait for a thunderous voice or a spectacular sound from heaven; simply act on the Word. It may not come in a spectacular way, but it is always supernatural, nonetheless.

In 1 Kings 19, when Elijah needed to hear from God, all the seemingly "spectacular" sings didn't have presence of God, until the still small voice, that said "...What doest thou here, Elijah?" (1 Kings 19:13). God's Word, instructions, leading, and guidance to you are supernatural; they'll produce the desired results when acted upon.
To continually experience the glory of God and the power of the Spirit, you'd have to always respond in faith to His Word and the prompting of the Spirit.

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for training my Spirit to apprehend the realities of the Kingdom and respond to the instructions of the Holy Spirit to me, as I learn and walk in the light of your Word, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Pray For God's People

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Ph.D

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not Faith (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2).

In Luke 18:1, Jesus taught that men ought always to pray and not to faint. You must not give up praying for God's people; its your priestly ministry as a believer to pray for Christians in your country, and all over the world, that the Word, of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified in them, even as it is with you. Pray that God's saints will know His Word by revelation and be effective in the things of the Spirit.

In Ephesians 1:17, Paul had to pray that God would grant the Ephesian Christians "....the spirit of wisdom and revelation, in the knowledge of Him. "Some people are born again, and have general knowledge about God. However, they lack divine insight and knowledge of spiritual things. We ought to intercede for such people to have the light of God's Word, and walk therein.

Also, intercede for the missionary work of ministers, and ministries in your country and around the world, that God will grant them utterance and opportunities to preach the Gospel with power. In Colossians 4:3, Paul admonished the believers to pray in this light for his missionary work: "Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds." This verse highlights two important points: utterance and opportunities. You might have the utterance and not have opportunity to preach the Gospel, and vice versa, hence we must intercede as admonished by the Spirit.

Never get weary of praying for Christians around the world; its part of your priestly ministry. Pray that God's people will stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel around the world.

CONFESSION
I live up to my call today, praying that the Lord will grant utterance, boldness and opportunity to Christians around the world, especially in places where the light of the Gospel has been dim, to preach and teach the Word with power, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
