FAITH FOR THE RAPTURE

Pastor Chris

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Corinthians 15:52)

At the Rapture, not everyone will hear the sound of the trumpet. It’ll be audible only to the Christians who died in Christ already and those alive at the time. Everybody else won’t hear it, because the sound of the trumpet would only be heard by faith. It’s not something you’re going to make an effort to hear, because as a Christian, you already live by faith. Everything about your life and your relationship with God is by faith; therefore, you’re going to hear it.

The Bible says, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found...” (Hebrews 11:5). He was raptured by faith. So, with your faith in Jesus Christ, you have nothing to worry about; trust that when the trumpet sounds, you’re going to hear it.

As read in our theme verse, the sound of the trumpet will happen faster than the snap of your finger. In a twinkling of an eye, we’re out of here, and suddenly, we’re in heaven. Every Christian ought to go at the rapture. It therefore means that anyone who doesn’t make the “first flight” hasn’t been living for the Lord.

Keep your faith alive, and live for the Master every day. Walk in love and in righteousness. Focus on getting others ready for the Rapture and into the Kingdom of God.

CONFESSION
Oh, what a day of rejoicing it’ll be when the Master shows up! Today, I walk in the light of His Word and of my salvation, engrossed in the pursuit of the expansion of His Kingdom, seeking, above all, the rule and reign of His Kingdom in the earth and in the hearts of men. Amen.

DON’T SUCCUMB TO EVIL

Pastor Chris

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (Daniel 7:25).

The phrase “wear out” in the verse above is translated from Aramaic into English. It means to afflict, to constantly harass. One of Satan’s strategies in these last days is to foment so much evil in the world that could provoke God’s people to a compromise. He seeks to wear out the saints. This opening verse shows that during the Great Tribulation, the antichrist would wear out the saints. There’ll be so much evil that many will acclimatise to sin. Wickedness will become a normal lifestyle for a whole lot of people.

The Bible gives us an account of a righteous man named Lot, Abraham’s nephew, who lived in Sodom and whose soul was vexed daily by the wickedness of the people. “And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds)” (2 Peter 2:6-.

The underlined word, “vexed”, means the same in Greek as the Aramaic for “wear out” which we read earlier in our theme verse. It means to harass with evil, afflict, make trouble for, treat until one is used to a certain situation. Lot was vexed with the filthy manner of life of the wicked. This is what Satan would have many do in these final moments of the Church, to adjust to the ways of darkness.

But you must say, “No” and walk in righteousness, in the light of God, in spite of what’s going on around you. Never succumb to evil; rather, let your light shine, for you’ve been sanctified by the Spirit, separated to God for His divine use—holy and undefiled.

CONFESSION
I’m in the world, but not of the world. Therefore, I think, talk and act differently. I’m sanctified by the Spirit, separated to God for His divine purpose, holy and undefiled. I reign over sin and all its effects— sickness, infirmity, poverty, death, etc. Amen.

*THE WORD IN YOUR MOUTH*

_Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, WRITTEN NOT WITH INK, BUT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD; NOT IN TABLES OF STONE, BUT IN FLESHY TABLES OF THE HEART_ *(2 Corinthians 3:3).*

Writing the Word in your heart is very important. This is done through meditation and constant confession of the Word. The more you do this, the more the glory of the Word is manifested in your life. We’re admonished in the Scriptures to be filled with the knowledge of God’s Word, for out of that abundance, our words will come forth.

Your words must be consistent with God’s truths; otherwise, you’ll have trouble. The adversary will take advantage of your own words to put you in bondage. Proverbs 6:2 says, *“Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.”*

Many today are trapped, struggling to come out of one predicament or the other, which they may have created through their own words. Jesus said in Mark 11:23 that you shall have what you say. In Matthew 12:37, He said, *“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”*

You have to make a determination to talk God’s Word; talk Kingdom-talk. You’re in the Kingdom of God, and it’s a Kingdom run by words, where we rule and prevail by our wholesome, faith-filled words. Remember the Lord’s admonition in Joshua 1:8, *“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth...”*; it’s about the Word in your mouth!

*CONFESSION*

_Through the help of the Spirit, and consistent meditation on the Word, I consciously speak wholesome, edifying, gracious, inspiring, motivating, encouraging words. With my words, I create success, victory, divine health and prosperity from within, establishing God’s righteousness in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Luke 6:45* A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

*1 Peter 3:10* For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

FOCUS ON THE LORD AND HIS KINGDOM

Pastor Chris

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:7).

David prophesied of a king who will rule over the nations of the world. He said in Psalm 72:8, “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”

Our opening scripture says concerning that King, “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end....” The Lord Jesus heads the Kingdom of God, of which we’re a part. It’s a real Kingdom; a functional spiritual kingdom. Our consciousness of the Kingdom is important; we can’t focus our minds on this earth as though everything ends here; there’s a world that’s greater than this.

Colossians 3:1-2 says, “...seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” How? By being “...stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

These are the last days; fix your gaze on the Lord and His Kingdom. Make Him your focus. Be on fire for the Lord all the time; be instant in season, and out of season, proclaiming His truth.

CONFESSION
I’ve been transferred from the domain of darkness to the Kingdom of God’s Love-son. Though I’m in the world, I’m conscious of the heavenly Kingdom. I function from the realm of the spirit, and nothing in this physical world matters to me. And indeed, through the unstoppable spread of the Gospel, our Kingdom reigns over the nations. Amen.

*UNDERSTAND AND SPEAK THE WORD.*

Wednesday, December 2nd.

Pastor Chris

_*My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...(Hosea 4:6).*_

There’re Christians whose experiences in life are an antithesis oftheir faith and the Word of God. For example, they may believethat as Christians, they’re not supposed to be oppressed by Satan, yet they experience continual satanic attacks and manipulations. They believe they aren’t supposed to be sick or have infirmities in their bodies,yet they’re hardly in good health. Something is wrong.

There’re two important areas to examine in dealing with such inconsistencies. First is the accurate understanding of the Word. InMatthew 13, Jesus emphasized the importance of understanding whenHe taught on the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:3-9).

In His interpretation of the parable, He explained that the seeds thatfell by the wayside represent those who hear the Word of God and don’tunderstand it. Due to their lack of understanding, Satan comesimmediately and steals the Word from their hearts (Matthew 13:19). Anaccurate understanding of the Word is so important. When you understand the Word, you’re able to apply it rightly to produce results foryou. Proverbs 4:7 says, _*“...with all thy getting get understanding.”*_

The second thing is your communication; the words you speak. Ifyour words are inconsistent with the Word of God, your life, which is theoutward manifestation of your words, will also be inconsistent. The Psalmist said, _*“...my tongue is the pen of a ready writer”*_ (Psalm 45:1).Your tongue is the pen that writes God’s Word on your heart. What you say is written on your heart, and out of that abundance, your mouth speaks.

Always study and listen to the Word; bombard your mind and yourspirit with the Word, and then speak accordingly! Your life will be the manifestation of the Word. Praise God!

*CONFESSION*

*It’s given unto me to understand the Word and the mysteries of theKingdom. Even now, God’s Word is effective in me, producing whatit says. I’m walking in glory and excellence, manifesting the gracesof God to my world, in victory, success and advancement.Hallelujah!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Joshua 1:8* This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. *||*

*||* *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. *||*

*||* *Acts 20:32* And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. *||*

*||* *Ephesians 1:17-18* That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, *||*

*THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH.*

Tuesday, December 1st.

Pastor Chris

_*For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36-37).*_

When a new model of a product or device is advertised with far better features, oftentimes, the value of the current one drops; especially if it’s to be phased out. Generally, all who are interested in the product start preparing for the new one, while losing value for the old.

This is how you should view this current world; it’s going to be burnt up and destroyed. A new Heaven and a new earth that’ll take its place have been advertised in the Scriptures. Revelations 21:1 says, _*“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”*_ The 4th verse says, _*“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”*_ And verses 18-19 say, _*“And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones….”*_

The 23rd and 25th verses take it even further: _*“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.”*_ What a description! What a place to look forward to! Your focus shouldn’t be on this current world that’ll be destroyed.

Recall the words of Jesus in our theme verse: _*“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”*_ This world, which will surely be destroyed and replaced with another isn’t worth the loss of your soul, so live your life for the Lord. Let your passion be all about the Gospel of Christ—its spread around the world—as we await His glorious return.

*WE GLORIFY HIS NAME .*

Monday, November 30th .
Pastor Chris

_*Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen (Ephesians 3:21).*_

Oftentimes, in prayer and songs of worship, some Christians would say, “O Lord, glorify your Name in all the
earth.” It sounds okay, but it puts us in a position of expecting God to
glorify His Name. And that’s not His idea; we’re the ones to glorify
Him. Recall the words of Jesus in John 17:4 _*“I have glorified thee
on the earth....”*_ This is what we’re expected to do.

Our theme verse says, _*“Unto him be glory in the church...,”*_
meaning that He expects the Church to give Him glory. Your life is for
the glory of God. He’s glorified as you consistently live out His Word,
bearing fruits of His divine life and nature in you. As you walk in health, prosperity, and impact your world with His righteousness, greatness, beauty and wisdom; as you produce Word-based results,
the Lord is glorified.

No wonder Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, _*“Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.”*_ He’s glorified by your
works of righteousness. In John 17:4 that we read earlier, the latter
part shows that Jesus glorified the Father by doing what the Father wanted Him to do: _*“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have
finished the work which thou gavest me to do.”*_ This is one of the reasons you must study the Word to know what He wants, so that
every day, and in every place, you glorify Him by living out His Word. Praise God!

*CONFESSION*

*God has glorified Himself in me; now, I carry that glory everywhere. There’s no shame in my life; I walk in glory, and my
life is full of honour, splendour, greatness, beauty, favour! I walk consistently in divine health, prosperity, and impact my world
with His glory. Praise God!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *John 2:11* This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. *||*

*||* *John 15:8* Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. *||*

*||* *Colossians 1:27* To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: *||*

*||* *Matthew 5:16 AMPC* Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. *||*

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

SUNDAY 29

HAVE A PRAISE PARTY

Pastor Chris

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever (2 Chronicles 20:21)

One of the ways to activate the power of God is worship. Throughout the Scriptures, we find inspiring accounts of how God delivered His people from destruction and dire situations when they activated His power in praise and worship. A good example is when three nations—Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir— came against Judah. King Jehoshaphat, by the wisdom of God, gathered all Judah to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting. When they prayed, God revealed to them the exact location of the enemies’ camp, and gave them the strategy to defeat them.

2 Chronicles 20:22 says, “...when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” When you face daunting challenges, don’t panic or fret; worship the Lord instead. Like Jehoshaphat, have a “praise party!”

Don’t wait until you feel like singing before making melodies in your heart, singing praises unto the Lord. Whether you’re happy or not, praise Him all the same; worship Him and give Him glory. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

Recall Paul and Silas; for preaching the Gospel, they were tortured and incarcerated in a Roman prison. But at midnight, they prayed and sang praises unto God; and as they did, the power of God was activated and they were supernaturally set free (Acts 16:25-26). This miraculous encounter led to the salvation of the prison warden with his entire family.

You may be faced with a difficult situation today for which you’ve prayed and confessed that it’s all working out for your good, yet nothing seems to have changed; don’t give up; worship and praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I praise your Name, and worship your majesty, for you’re the healer, the provider, the supplier of all good things, and you’re greater than all. I praise and adore you, for you’re great and greatly to be praised. Thank you for granting me power over crises, and the grace to prevail always over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*HIS FULLNESS IN YOU .*

Saturday, November 28th .
Pastor Chris

_*And of his fulness have all we received, and
grace for grace (John 1:16).*_

Before Jesus came, the Holy Spirit only came upon men in
part and for a temporary purpose, after which, the unction
lifted. For instance, the Bible says, _*“And the Spirit of the LORD
came mightily upon him*_ (Samson), _*and he rent him*_ (a young lion)
_*as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand...”*_
(Judges 14:6). It was the same with David; the Old Testament folks
didn’t have the fullness of the Spirit.

With Jesus; the Bible says, _*“For it pleased the Father that in
him should all fulness dwell”*_ (Colossians 1:19). The word,
“fullness” is from the Greek, “plēroama” which means repletion or completion; the total or complete content of a vessel in its maximum capacity and entirety. That means everything the Father is, and has,
is in Jesus. Colossians 2:9 says, _*“For in him*_ (Jesus) _*dwelleth all
the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”*_ When Jesus walked the
streets, God Almighty, in His fullness, was in Him. Hallelujah!

The most amazing part of this is that as read in our opening
verse, we’ve received this same fullness. That means everything the Father is, and has, is in you, because He lives in you. Have this consciousness. Colossians 2:10 says, _*“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”*_ There’s
nothing of God that’s supposed to be in you that’s not in you.

Your humanity has been supplanted by the life and nature of
God. This is the difference between you and the one who isn’t born
again; you’re a God-carrying vessel. Through you, He manifests
Himself—His life, wisdom, grace, righteousness, excellence, glory
and perfection—for He lives in you in His fullness. Glory to God!

*CONFESSION*

*I’m a God-carrying vessel; Christ in me is glory realised, victory assured and prosperity guaranteed. No fears or confusion in my
life. Irrespective of the tests, trials or challenges that may come
against me, I’m a victor and a champion for life. Hallelujah!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *1 John 4:4* 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. *||*

*||* *John 3:34* For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him]. *||*

*||* *Ephesians 3:17-19* That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. *||*

*BE PREPARED FOR THE “FIRST FLIGHT” .*

Friday, November 27th .
Pastor Chris

_*For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with
the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).*_

Make no mistakes about it, the time left before the Master’s
return is shorter than many realize. What we’re expecting
right now is the Rapture of the Church, the “catching away” of all those who are born again and walking in the light of God. Suddenly,
we’ll disappear from this world to meet the Lord in the air.

Someone may ask, “How is that going to be possible? Imagine
that the driver of a commuter bus or pilot of an airplane filled with people is born again, but the passengers aren’t; are you saying the
driver or pilot will be raptured while the vehicle or airplane crashes?”

First, people who ask such questions haven’t understood
what’s about to befall the world. The Rapture itself is judgement for
the world. In Luke 17, Jesus said the day Noah entered into the ark,
the floods came. Also, the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, fire came from Heaven and burnt up the city; judgement began immediately.

At the Rapture, cars and planes crashing with people onboard
is all part of the judgement for the rejection of Christ. At that point,
the hour of His grace would have been over. If any Christian is left behind, it’s because he or she wasn’t living the life of a Christian.
They’ll be amongst the ones who’ll go through the Great Tribulation that’s to take place after the Rapture. And among them, a multitude
of people will eventually be saved.

But you don’t want to be in that group. Jesus said, _*“Watch ye
therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand
before the Son of man”*_ (Luke 21:36). Prepare yourself for the “first
flight.” Each day that passes takes us a day closer to His glorious appearing. Live for Him, and get others in your world ready for that
day.

*CONFESSION*

*I’m awake and alert in the spirit, and my life is guided by
Christ’s love and Word, and by my expectation of His imminent
return. I make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts
thereof; I’m led continually by the Spirit, manifesting the fruits
of righteousness. My desire and passion to win my world to Christ flourishes, and many, through me, are brought to the
Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Matthew 24:37-39* But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. *||*

*||* *1 John 2:28* And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. *||*

*||* *Revelation 1:7* Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. *||*

*JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE .*

Thursday, November 26th .
Pastor Chris

_*Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).*_

In John 15:25, Jesus said, _*“But this cometh to pass, that
the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law,
THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE. ”*_ The expression, “without a
cause” is “dōrean” (Greek), meaning freely, needlessly, for nothing,
or in vain. In other words, Jesus did nothing wrong to warrant their
hatred. Even though His expression of love towards them was unparralled, they hated Him still.

But then, as indicated in our opening scripture, God, in His
infinite love, decided to respond in line with His own character by justifying man freely by His grace. The word, “freely” is the same Greek word, “dōrean.” He’s letting us know that just as Jesus didn’t
do anything to deserve the world’s hatred, you didn’t have to do
anything to be justified by God.

To be justified is to be declared not guilty; it’s to be acquitted,
declared righteous. Hallelujah! And it happened without you having to do anything to qualify for it; it was without a cause, but by the faith
of Jesus Christ: _*“Therefore being justified by faith...”*_ (Romans
5:1).

It’s not about your works or self-righteous acts. The Bible says,
_*”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man
should boast”*_ (Ephesians 2:8-9). Oh, how glorious to know that all
that’s necessary is to submit to God’s righteousness! Now, you can
reign in life: _*“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). Blessed be God!

*CONFESSION*

*I’ve been justified freely by His grace! And not only am I
justified to walk before God, I’m a new creation! I have no sense
of defeat or consciousness of poverty, sickness, disease, sin
and anything associated with the devil. Christ is my
righteousness, my sanctification, my redemption. Glory to God!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Romans 3:24-28* Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. *||*

*||* *Romans 11:6* And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. *||*

*THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO YOU ARE .*

Wednesday, November 25th .
Pastor Chris

_*An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be
delivered (Proverbs 11:9).*_

Imagine that you carried and were playing with your
neighbour’s one or two-year-old child and he suddenly inflicts
a bite on your hand. You see the bite wound but shrug it off as
nothing, because he’s only a child. Then while walking away,
someone walks up to you and says, “I saw that child bite you; but did
you know the child is HIV positive?”

Suddenly, your demeanour changes; you start speaking in
tongues and making confessions. In your mind, you think you’re putting your faith to work, whereas you’re actually demonstrating a
lack of understanding of who you are in Christ. God doesn’t want you
at that level.

If you have the knowledge of God and recognise what you
have inside you, and who you are in Christ, you’ll remain unmoved,
in spite of the new information about the child. This was what the Apostle Paul knew that made him so different. In Acts 28:3-6, the
serpent that bit Paul was a venomous one, and those who were
around him were expecting him to swell and die right there. But they
were baffled to see Paul unharmed. He didn’t even pay attention to
it; the Bible says he shook it into the fire and went on discussing the Gospel. Hallelujah!

Someone may say, “Oh, if only I have the kind of faith that Paul
had!” No, it wasn’t faith that Paul demonstrated; it was the
knowledge of God at work. He had the knowledge of who Jesus said
the Christian is. In Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said, _*“And these signs
shall follow them that believe...if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them....”*_ If any poisonous substance ever finds its
way into your system—whether by accident or by intent— it’ll have
no effect on you.

What you need is the accurate and adequate knowledge of
God’s Word; this is what puts you over in life. Many don’t have a faith problem, for every one of us has faith (Romans 12:3). The issue is
their lack of understanding of who they are and what belongs to
them in Christ. The knowledge of God’s Word gives you an
undeniable conviction of the transcendent life of victory and
dominion. This is why you’ve got to study and meditate on the Word every day.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the impact of your Word in my life.
As I study and meditate on the Word today, not only do I
discover my inheritance in Christ, I also receive the faith to
relate with, and enjoy all that you’ve made available to me in Christ. I reign in life through your Word, winning, excelling and
prevailing over the challenges of life through the Word, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Hosea 4:6* 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. *||*

*||* *Acts 20:32* And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. *||*

*||* *2 Peter 1:2* Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, *||*

*FELLOWSHIP OF THE SPIRIT*

Tuesday 24 November
Pastor Chris

*The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).*

Your highest calling as a Christian is fellowship with the Lord. Without fellowship, nothing you do on earth is esteemed in Heaven. To fellowship with Jesus is to fellowship with the fullest revelation of the essence of deity. But you see, you can’t fellowship with Him except through the Holy Spirit.

That’s why I often wonder why some people think they don’t need the Holy Spirit. There’s nothing more void than a life without the Holy Spirit, because He’s the author of life. Without Him, all you have will be darkness. He’s the One who gives you light and quickens the Word of God in your heart. God’s Word won’t mean anything to you without the insight and revelation the Holy Spirit gives.

The Bible says His words are life to those that find them (Proverbs 4:22); and the way to find them is through the Holy Spirit. Your desire should be to fellowship more with the Holy Spirit every day; I mean fellowship with participation, l where you’re actively engaged with Him in a romance of righteousness.

The glorious thing about this is that, for all the successes that you achieve through the guidance and wisdom you receive as you fellowship with Him, He gives you the credit. Another beautiful impact of your fellowship with Him is that you become so mingled with Him that your body becomes His body; your tongue becomes His tongue, your hands, His hands, and your feet, His feet. Hallelujah!

In this kind of relationship, every limit and barrier is taken off your way; you experience nothing but progress in life. You’re so full of His glory and wisdom that they overflow from you to others. He takes over your life and you experience unprecedented manifestations of His power that causes many to wonder at you. These and more are what fellowship with the Holy Spirit will bring to you. Praise God!

*BE MINDFUL OF THE SCHEDULE OF
OTHERS .*

Monday, November 23rd .
Pastor Chris

_*See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days
are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16).*_

Did you ever meet someone who had no regard for your
time? I’m sure you didn’t enjoy it. Now, if you didn’t enjoy
it, then you ought to always regard the time and schedule of others
in your dealings with people. If you could take the time to plan your
day and prioritize your activities, you ought to expect that those you meet would have done the same.

Don’t shift or postpone appointments haphazardly; it could mess things up for someone else. There’re certain things in life that aren’t in unending supply; they’re limited; one of them is time.
There’s joy and fulfilment you get when you respond to people promptly and see the look of gratitude on their faces for saving their time. When people meet you, they ought to be glad they did; they ought to leave you happier, and one sure way of ensuring this is by
valuing their precious time.

If you were to schedule an appointment at work, for example,
try as much as possible not to make open-ended appointments. It’s
better to say, “See me at 5.15pm” and be ready at that time, than to
say, “See me between 5 and 5.30pm,” and keep the person
guessing when exactly to show up. And if for any reason, you know
you wouldn’t be ready at the time you planned, reach out ahead of
the agreed time to cancel or reschedule, tendering your apologies.

Do your best not to destabilize other people’s day. Of course,
there’s the flip side to this; you could be the one who’s supposed to
see someone, but you’ve fixed the same time to see five other
people across the city! You’re definitely going to keep at least one or
more of them waiting for you, and that’s not okay. Even as the boss
in the office, be sensitive to the schedules of your subordinates.
Successful people are time-conscious.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for your wisdom at work in me, causing
me to use time wisely and prioritize my activities for today. The Holy Spirit guides me to be productive and effective in
everything I do today, to significantly make progress, advance
the work of the Kingdom, and improve my life, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.*

*YOU’RE IN THE LIGHT*

Pastor Chris

*But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (1 Peter 2:9).*

The underlined portion of the verse above lets you know your present location; you’ve been brought out of darkness into God’s marvellous light. That light is the light of life that shows you the path of righteousness, life and dominion. It’s like what the Lord did for the children of Israel in the Old Testament; He brought them out of Egypt, which represented darkness, into the Promised Land, which symbolizes light!

Darkness represents sin, death, evil and all the negatives of life. You’ve been brought out of sin, sickness, disease, depression, poverty and frustrations, into God’s Kingdom of light. This isn’t something the Lord will do for you as you grow in Christ; He’s already done it. Colossians 1:12-13 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

When you made Jesus Lord of your life, you were translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son; it’s a spiritual kingdom of light, where you reign in life by grace through righteousness. You’re not subject to the darkness and failing systems and structures of this world. You’ve been brought into the supernatural life of glory where you shine evermore. No wonder He said in Isaiah 60:1, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”

*PRAYER*
I thank you, dear Lord, for bringing me out of darkness into the Kingdom of your dear Son, where I reign by grace through righteousness, and enjoy the glorious liberty of the sons of God. You’re the light of my life by which I navigate my way excellently in victory, dominion and success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FRIDAY 20

FRUITS OF HIS OBEDIENCE

Pastor Chris

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life (Romans 5:18).

Under the Old Testament, God’s blessings for the children of Israel were preconditioned on their obedience to the Law. For example, God had desired that they walk as kings and priests before Him, but their obedience was a prerequisite for the blessings to take effect in their lives. In Exodus 19:5-6, He said, “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation....”

However, they broke His laws and couldn’t enjoy the fullness of His blessings and promises. But that isn’t the case with us today in the New Testament. Colossians 1:12 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” We’ve been qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of light. We’re sharers and participants in the blessings and benefits of the Kingdom-life reserved for all of God’s saints. This didn’t happen by your obedience, but by Christ’s obedience (Romans 5:19).

Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, and then abolished it. You’re the fruit of His obedience. By His obedience, God’s gift—His blessing of righteousness was bequeathed to you. Today, it’s no use trying to “obey” the Law for God to bless you; you were born blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to “obey” to be blessed; rather, we’re called His obedient ones (1 Peter 1:14). We’re described as having “obeyed” God’s Word of truth from the heart (Romans 6:17). So your blessings, your inheritance in Christ, are the results of Christ’s redemptive work in your behalf. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the realisation that my blessings are the results of Christ’s redemptive work, and on who I am in Him. I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ! In Christ, all your promises are fulfilled in my life, and I live in total satisfaction and fulfilment, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YIELD TO HIM AND FOLLOW HIS WORD

Pastor Chris

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come (John 16:13).

Being born again, the Spirit of God lives in you, and He guides you by the Word, in the way that you should go. His Word is your sure guide in life. It’s the reason we encourage conscious study and meditation on the Word. Getting yourself acquainted with the Word is the way to know the counsel of God and walk in His will. He counsels you from within, in line with the Word.

No other personality in this life can lead you in success, victory and rest as the Holy Spirit would. His delight is to guide you to make accurate and excellent decisions, go to the right places at the right time, and do the right things at the right time, for God’s glory. Recognise His ministry and person in your life. Talk with Him often. Listen to Him as well, for He’s always talking to your spirit. He cares about everything you do; He takes interest in the minutest detail of your life. It’s His pleasure to successfully guide you through all your endeavours from day to day.

Many have made grievous mistakes in their lives for not listening to Him and following His guidance. His counsel and guidance are always in sync with the Word. Your life will be the expression of God’s glory, beauty, wisdom and grace as you yield to Him and follow His Word. Through the Word, He guides and leads you from glory to glory.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your glory in my life. Thank you for beautifying me with your grace and filling me with your wisdom; I function excellently today, through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in me and guides me from within, piloting me from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*YOUR NAME IS IMPORTANT .*

Sunday, November 15th .
Pastor Chris

_*Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of
many nations have I made thee (Genesis 17:5).*_

Whatever name you answer has a direct bearing on your
destiny; your name gives meaning to your destiny. This
explains why God changed the names of certain individuals in the Bible in line with their destinies in Him. A good example is Abraham,
who was formerly named Abram. Abram meant exalted father or assumed father. In the process of time, he had no child, though
many servants were born in his house.

But one day, the Lord spoke to him and said, _*“... behold, my
covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many
nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but
thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee”*_ (Genesis 17:4-5). Abraham believed God, and immediately started answering the name Abraham, “the father of many nations.”

Another important example is Jacob; he was named Jacob
because at birth he held on to his brother’s heel. Jacob means
swindler or deceiver; and true to his name, he deceitfully obtained
his brother’s birthright, with the aid of his mother.

However, when he encountered the Lord and asked to be
blessed, He wouldn’t bless him until his name was changed from
Jacob (the deceiver) to Israel, a prince with God (Genesis 32:28);
and his destiny was transformed for good.

Consider the Apostle Peter; before he came to Jesus, he
answered the name, “Simon,” meaning a reed shaken by the wind, unstable. As Simon, he was inconsistent. But one day, Jesus said to him, _*“...thou art Peter,*_ (Greek: Petros) _*and upon this rock*_ (Greek:
Petra) _*I will build my church...”*_ (Matthew 16:18).

If the meaning of your name isn’t consistent with the Word of
God, you’ve got to change it. It makes no difference that you’ve answered the name all your life; if its meaning isn’t consistent with
the revelation of who you are in Christ, respond to God’s Word and
change it as an act of faith.

*PRAYER*

*Blessed Father, thank you for your Word that reveals my
identity, inheritance and abilities in Christ! Your will for my life
is unveiled to my spirit and I live daily to fulfil your will and
purpose for my life, taking paths that you’ve preordained for
me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Genesis 32:24-28* And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. *||*

*||* *Matthew 16:16-18* And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. *||*

*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, SATURDAY 14TH NOVEMBER 2020.*

By REV DR PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME D.Sc. D.D.

*TOPIC: ✨ GUARD YOUR SALVATION ✨*

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him (Hebrews 2:3).

If anything should be precious to you in this life, especially in these last days, it must be your personal salvation. Our theme verse says, “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation….” Your salvation is the number one thing in your life. Protect it. See that you’re walking in the light of God, in the totality of salvation. He said, “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12).

No matter your accomplishments in life, they’ll all be a waste without your salvation. Jesus said in Mark 8:36, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” It doesn’t matter how many conferences you held or attended or how many people you helped; without your salvation, they’ll mean nothing.

Don’t trade your salvation for anything. We’re surrounded by hawks and beasts that don’t spare the flock; they’ll do anything for their personal gains. Don’t let them deceive you, and don’t lead yourself astray. Stay in Christ, in His Word, and keep expressing His love and righteousness to your world.

Remember, not only are you here for your salvation, you’re here also to help others receive salvation. When you really understand what salvation is, you’ll not only protect it with your life, but you’d also be eager to share it with others. The Apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16). The only way you can help others receive salvation is to share the Gospel with them. So make this a vital part of your daily routine and pursuit.

*CONFESSION*
*I serve the Lord in spirit and in truth. His love is continually expressed through me to others. There’s no room for hatred, bitterness, jealousy or pride in me, for the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit. And that love propels me to preach the Gospel and reach out in love to the lost, to turn them from darkness unto Christ. Amen.*

*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, FRIDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2020.*

By REV DR PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME D.Sc. D.D.

*TOPIC: ✨ HEIRS OF INEXHAUSTIBLE RICHES ✨*

*Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians3:.*

It makes no difference how and where you were born; now that you’re in Christ, you’re separated unto God and His glory. Poverty isn’t part of your life. When you understand this and discover who you are, suddenly, there’ll be a change in yourmentality; you become bigger than your job, your business, and your income or salary; you become big on the inside!

The Amplified Classic version of our opening scripture says,_*“To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, andexhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out].”*_

The Word is for the man or woman who steps into it. So you’re to affirm, “I have access to the unending, boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless riches of Christ —wealth which no human being could have searched out.” You were born into inexhaustible wealth, for you’re the seed of Abraham, an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. Your wealth is like the bread that Jesus distributed to the multitude (five thousand men; women and childrennot counted). As they distributed it, it multiplied (Matthew 14).

This is how you should think about your resources; refuse to be lack-conscious. Always give. The more you give, the more yourresources are multiplied to be unlimited. This should be your consciousness and confession. Glory to God!

*GLORIFIED IN CHRIST .*

Thursday, November 12th .
Pastor Chris

_*And the glory which thou gavest me I have given
them... (John 17:22).*_

Being born again, you’re not an insignificant speck in the
dust; you have honour and glory in Christ. This glory
refers to the perfections of beauty, the excellence of divinity and it’s expressions, the honour of God, etc.

Jesus is the express image of God’s person, the brightness, effulgence (outshining) of the glory of God. The Bible says God gave
Him His excellent glory (Hebrews 1:3). Now, here’s the most remarkable part: Just before He was crucified, He prayed a very touching prayer to the Father on our behalf. He said: _*“And the glory
which thou gavest me I have given them...”*_ (John 17:22).

He gave us the same glory the Father gave Him, so that we’d
be one with Him and the Father, just as He and the Father are one.
Today, you have the glory of God the Father, the same glory He gave
to Jesus. You may be thinking right now, “Can someone like me who has done so many wrong things have the glory of God in his life?”
Sure, you do, now that you’re born again!

The Bible says, _*“For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”*_ (Romans 3:23-24). Before
Jesus came, everybody was labelled a sinner. Jesus, however, dealt with the problem of sin once and for all. Therefore, if because of sin
we came short of the glory of God, now that the problem has been dealt with, we’re no longer short of the glory of God. We’re His glorified ones, according to Romans 8:30: _*“Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he
also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”*_
Hallelujah!

*CONFESSION*

*I’m the glory of God! I exude and manifest righteousness, excellence and perfection today and always. My life is one of
ever-increasing glory. The Holy Spirit—the Spirit of glory—lives
in me in His fullness. Through the study and meditation on the
Word, I’m constantly transfigured from glory to glory. Praise
God!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *2 Corinthians 3:10-11* For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious. *||*

*||* *Romans 8:30* Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. *||*

*||* *Isaiah 60:1-2* Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. *||*

*FOCUS ON THE GREATER GOAL*

Pastor Chris

*Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work (John 4:34)*.

As we earnestly look forward to the Rapture of the Church, it’s important that your focus be on the achievement of the “greater goal.” What’s this greater goal? It’s winning the unsaved to Christ.

Jesus and His disciples were on a journey from Judaea to Galilee, and they stopped in a Samaritan village. The Master needed to catch a breather while His disciples went to get some food. While Jesus sat at the well, a woman came to draw water, and Jesus began to preach the Good News of the Kingdom to her.

Much later, when His disciples returned with the food, and Jesus wouldn’t eat. When they wondered why He didn’t want to eat, He replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about; the food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, and finish His work” (John 4:32-34).

This is the example He left us to follow. Doing God’s work was number one to Jesus. Nothing should be more important to you than ensuring the spread of the Gospel in your world and around the world. You must realize that your earthly job, business, education or other career are your opportunities and vehicles for transporting the Gospel.

When you commit your life to soul winning, you discover the satisfaction and fulfilment nothing else in life can give you. You declare like Jesus, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.” Praise God!

*CONFESSION*
Living for Jesus Christ and being relevant in the ministry of reconciliation is my priority. Everything in my life—my thoughts, ideas, the excellence in my life—is all about soul winning. I’m an ambassador and a steward of the mysteries of Christ, and I’m fulfilling my ministry gloriously, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*EXPRESS GRATITUDE .*

Tuesday, November 10th.

Pastor Chris

_*...be thankful in all circumstances. This is what
God wants from you in your life in union with Christ
Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18 GNB).*_

The words “Thank you” are two of the most powerful words
to utter. They convey heartfelt appreciation and
gratefulness which, when rightly expressed, leave an indelible
impression of your sincere gratitude and evoke joy in the hearts of the recipients.

Also, when you make someone glad, it’ll relax your nerves and
gladden your spirit! Therefore, every so often, ask yourself, “Who am
I going to appreciate today?” Let it be part of your daily plan.
Someone, somewhere, should get a call, a visit, a card or a gift from
you to say, “Thank You!” I like it when I’m able to call someone to
say, “Thank you.”

Some people find it difficult to express gratitude even when occasion warrants it. But the counsel of the Lord is clear: express gratitude always and in all things. When you go out and an attendant
offers you any form of assistance, don’t forget to say, “Thank you.”

In church, or at the theatre or some event, when the usher
shows you to a seat, don’t sit down without saying, “Thank you.” When a cab driver takes you safely to your destination, don’t alight without saying, “Thank you!” All these are simple everyday situations
that we experience, and sometimes, we don’t realize we ought to be thankful for these things.

If you’re a parent, learn to say “Thank you” to your kids when
they do something nice. As a couple, say “Thank you” to your
spouse for the things you do for each other. When people do things
for you, be it a favour or even something they’re obliged to do,
practise saying, “Thank you.” You’ll be amazed at the joy and fulfilment you’ll experience as a result.

*CONFESSION*

*I’m rooted and built up in the Lord, strengthened in the faith and overflowing with thankfulness! Every day, I’m inspired to express my gratitude to God for those through whom He blesses me daily. Therefore, I walk in favour, joy, and fulfillment.
Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *1 Thessalonians 5:18* In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. *||*

*||* *John 6:11* And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. *||*

*AFFIRM HIS TRUTHS IN FAITH .*

Monday, November 9th .
Pastor Chris

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

There’s so much negative information in the world today,
and this has instilled fear in the hearts of those who aren’t
rooted and grounded in the Word. The Lord Jesus referred to this in
Luke 21:25-26 when He described some of the signs of the end of
the age. He said, _*“...there shall be ...distress of nations, with
perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing
them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth....”*_ In Luke 18:8, He asked, _*“...when the Son
of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”*_

You’re to stand your ground in faith, irrespective of the challenges and hardships in today’s world. Train your faith with the
Word to prevail against the odds and adversities of life. Refuse to
give up or give in to the pressures around you. Ephesians 6:13-16
says, _*“...having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith
ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”*_

Keep your switch of faith turned on, by staying your mind on
the Word. When Satan throws the dart of fear at you, refuse it,
because the greater One lives in you!

It makes no difference that the world is experiencing severe economic slump as a result of the recent global crisis; you’re the
seed of Abraham! You’re a joint-heir with Christ; never talk or live as
one who’s disadvantaged; affirm God’s truth! The creative power of
His Word becomes effective once ignited by the faith-response from your spirit, bringing about a transformation in your life and situation
from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

*CONFESSION*

*I’m strong in faith and in the grace that’s in Christ Jesus. I
speak victory, prosperity, health, strength, and courage always,
for greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world. The
Word of God has taken full possession and expression in me, through my spirit, soul, and body. Hallelujah!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Proverbs 18:21* Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. *||*

*||* *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; *||*

*||* *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. *||*

SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2020

PST. CHRIS

HE PREPARED A WONDERFUL LIFE FOR YOU .

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessingsin heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

God is good; God is kind, and God is love! He’s our great heavenly Father who, long before we came on the scene, prepared a wonderful and exciting life for us: a life of success, victory, peace and prosperity. He didn’t create you to suffer or struggle your way through life. He prearranged a good life of blessings for you.

That’s like what He did when He created Adam; He first created a beautiful garden where everything Adam would require was made available. Then He created Adam and put him in the garden to inhabit it and enjoy the goodness therein. God brought you forth at such a time as this, and planned ahead for you like every caring father would. Therefore, always acknowledge and profess in agreement with Him that indeed, you’re the blessed of the Lord, walking in preordained pathways of greatness, excellence and productivity.

The Lord cares so much for you, up to the strands of hair on your head: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:29-31).That’s why He doesn’t want you worried or fretful over anything in life.

He’s aware you require money, clothing, food, shelter and all the necessities of life, and has already made them yours. He said in 1 Corinthians 3:21, _*“... All things are yours”*_ Believe and accept it, for it’s true. Live with the consciousness that God has truly made everything you’d ever require for a triumphant life available to you in Christ Jesus. Indeed, He’s gracious and kind.

CONFESSION

I’m a new creature, called to inherit a blessing, empowered to prosper in everything I do! There’s no dryness, stagnation, lackor unproductivity in my life, for I’ve been chosen and ordained for a life of praise, joy, excellence, victory and glory in Christ. Jesus. I’ve become the conveyor of God’s blessings, and the effulgence of His glory. Hallelujah!

*HE NEVER LEAVES YOU*

Pastor Chris

*...I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen(Matthew 28:20 NKJV).*

Sometimes, when people go through difficulties, they wonder if God is with them. They hope and pray that He’ll be with them. But the truth is, He never leaves you. Jesus said, “...I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen” (Matthew 28:20 NKJV). What a blessing! He’s with you through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. He didn’t say, “I’ll be with you”; it’s not a promise. It’s a fact.

God’s Word is a statement of truth, and our responsibility is to line up with His truth and live accordingly always. When He said, “...I am with you always, even to the end of the age”, it’s exactly as powerful as when He said, “...I am the way, the truth, and the life...” (John 14:6). So, think, talk, and live with the consciousness, confidence and assurance that the Lord is in you and with you, for He truly is!

This means you’re forever in safety. He’s the ever- present help in time of need, the friend that sticks closer than a brother, and He never fails. Trust Him. In Isaiah 41:10, He said, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee....” He’s in you and with you everywhere, in every place, and in every situation.

It makes no difference what the situation is; be conscious that you can neither fail nor lose; you’re attended by the presence of God. Oh, what confidence you should have in life! No wonder He said, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper...” (Isaiah 54:17). Have the attitude of victory in everything, every day of your life, for the greater One is with you and He lives in you.

*CONFESSION*
I win always, because the Lord is in me and with me, through the Holy Spirit. His divine presence mantles me and fills me, transforming every fibre of my being and every bone of my body. I have the mindset of victory and I reign triumphantly over circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

MONDAY 2

WALK IN WISDOM

Pastor Chris

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).

Some Christians get very excited when they read our opening verse, and then get confused when they read James 1:5 which says, ”If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” Since Christ has been made unto us wisdom, why then should one still ask for wisdom? they wonder.

Those two references aren’t contradictory at all; rather, it’s about levels of maturity in Christ. As you study the Scriptures, you’ll find that there’re different instructions for different groups of Christians on the basis of their maturity. Some are addressed to the babes in Christ; others, to the maturing in Christ, and then there’re instructions for the ”fathers” or the spiritually mature in Christ.

The one who’s still a babe in Christ may quote and confess that Christ is his wisdom, yet he hasn’t reaIIy caught it. His words and actions may still be incongruous with the Word and wisdom of God. He isn’t yet manifesting wisdom, which is a fruit of righteousness. He still acts and thinks like the rest of the world, like those without wisdom. So, James admonishes those in that class to ask for wisdom.

Remember, it’s ”children” that ask for things. Jesus said, “...Ask, and it shall be given you”; He related it to children asking their father for bread (Luke 11:9-12). The spiritually mature don’t ask for anything, because they lack nothing in Christ. This is the level God wants you to grow into, where you know that all things are yours; you’re not asking for wisdom, but walking in wisdom. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your wisdom that’s at work in my spirit, which is also increased even now through the Word that I’ve received today. I live out the Word, and therefore walk in your glory, fulfilling your perfect will and bringing many to righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*"COURAGE FOR THE GOSPEL"*

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest (Joshua 1:9).

Courage is the ability and will to do or stand for what is right or necessary even in the face of adversity or opposition. It’s the ability to face danger and opposition fearlessly and affirm your faith in Christ no matter the adversaries or adversities that you face. It’s a virtue everyone in Christ has been granted, but not every Christian manifests it.

A person of courage understands that every opposition is an opportunity for progress and victory. Courage is what got the Church of Jesus Christ to where it is today. Had the apostles and prophets of old not exhibited courage by standing for what was right in spite of opposition, the Gospel may never have gone around the world and got to us at the time it did. They weren’t afraid of kings and despots, and they sure weren’t afraid to die. They were strong and very courageous.

Paul, in his letter to the Church in Thessalonica recounted how he and some others demonstrated great courage to preach the Gospel despite fierce opposition. He said, “You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet God gave us the courage to boldly repeat the same message to you, even though we were surrounded by enemies” (1 Thessalonians 2:2 TLB).

People of courage keep their focus on what they believe in, and nothing is too big for them to give or do in pursuit of their convictions. Therefore, set your mind on the Lord and His Word, and be ever ready to do anything for the furtherance of the Gospel.

*CONFESSION*

I’m strong and of a good courage! I’m ordained of God to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ; to minister life, to strengthen others, and bring them into God's light. Therefore, no matter the tests, trials, opposition, adversaries, I maintain my solid front in Christ, that inner fortitude to make the Gospel known at any cost. I’m courageous, with the boldness of the Spirit in increasing measure! Hallelujah!

*FURTHER STUDY*

Ephesians 6:14-15 KJV Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

*WISDOM FOR A GREAT LIFE*

Saturday 31 October
Pastor Chris

*How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! (Proverbs 16:16).*

1 Corinthians 1:30 says, *“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom….”* Christ Jesus is your wisdom; and who is Jesus? The Word; and the Word of God is the wisdom of God. To ignore God’s Word would be to ignore wisdom.

The Bible says, *“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed…”* (Proverbs 13:13). God’s wisdom is the key to a great life. In Ephesians 1, the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, prayed for the church at Ephesus that God would grant them *“…wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him”* (Ephesians 1:17).

It doesn’t matter the books you’ve read or who your advisers are; for you to be a true success in life, you must walk in divine wisdom. The best part is that Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, lives in you. Therefore, you have insight into mysteries and secrets of life and of the Kingdom. Acknowledge this about yourself always.

Even now, declare that you make wise choices and decisions, because the Spirit of wisdom is at work in you. Affirm that divine wisdom is heard and seen in you today. Affirm that your actions and words are in sync with God’s plan, purpose and will, for you function by divine insight. Glory to God!

*PARTAKERS AND DISPENSERS OF DIVINE LIFE .*

Friday, October 30th .
Pastor Chris

_*For the scripture says, “The first man, Adam, was created a living being”; but the last Adam is the life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45 GNB).*_

2 Peter 1:4 says, _*“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.”*_ Being partakers of the divine nature means we’re associates of the God-kind; we’re in comradeship with divinity. But that’s not all!

Not only did He graciously grant us to be sharers of His life, He also made us the dispensers or distributors of that life. In John 10:10, the Lord Jesus declared, _*“…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”*_ He came to give eternal life to those who would believe in Him. No wonder He’s described in our opening verse as the life-giving Spirit.

Now, having been born again, you’re one with Him; He made you a life-giving spirit. Like Him, your life’s purpose is to bring the lost into the life of righteousness through the Gospel. Jesus said in John 20:21, _*“…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”*_ You’re His representative in the earth, to manifest the God-life in your world.

You’re the bearer of eternal verities. When you show up, life is manifested. When you touch the sick and the afflicted, the life in you is transferred and transfused into them, bringing them wholeness and perfection. No wonder Jesus charged us in Matthew 10:8, _*“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils....”*_

As you show up with the consciousness that you’re the carrier of His divine essence and people listen to you share the Word, eternal life is unveiled to them. And everything of darkness bows. The Bible says He brought life and immortality to light, through the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, what an awesome blessing to be a carrier and dispenser of the divine life and to bring the lost and afflicted into the life of righteousness and joy through the Gospel. Your love, power, glory, compassion and grace are expressed through me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *1 Corinthians 15:45 AMPC* Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. *||*

*||* *1 Peter 2:9 AMPC* But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. *||*

*||* *Luke 8:41-45 GNB* Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you.” *||*

*LIVING IN HIS AUTHORITY.*

Wednesday, October 28th.

Pastor Chris

_*For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28).*_

True Christianity is living in the Name of Jesus. The very thought of this is so awe-inspiring. Colossians 3:17 says, _*“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS….”*_

Doing all things in His Name means living in His Name. That’s the key to a supernatural life. That means you’re living for Him, in His authority. Therefore, defeat, failure and darkness can’t be a part of your life. Life for you is glory only; upward and forward, because the Name of Jesus is named upon you. His Name represents His authority and His character.

The Father gave Jesus a Name that’s above every name and set Him far above all things for the benefit of the Church. Ephesians 1:22-23 says God _*“…hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.”*_

The Church is His body, and since all things have been placed beneath His feet, Satan is under your feet! Failure, sickness, poverty and death are all under your feet. Everything in life is subject to you because you’re seated with Christ in heavenly places.

If you find yourself in a distressing situation, declare, “In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I decree a change!” Reign and subdue circumstances in His Name. You have the authority in His Name to reject anything that’s not of God and endorse only that which is consistent with His perfect will for you.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I rejoice in Jesus Christ, knowing that He’s Lord of all. I’m victorious and dominate circumstances because I live in His Name and in His authority. Hallelujah!*

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

*||* *Mark 16:17-18* And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. *||*
