Discipled To Disciple Others – Wednesday December 7, 2011 – Pastor Chris
By Diane Maartens in Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional · Edit Doc
You have often heard me teach. Now I want you to tell these same things to followers who can be trusted to tell others (2 Timothy 2:2 CEV).
 
The glorious Gospel of the blessed God has been committed to our trust (1 Timothy 1:11). This is a trust you must not betray! The same things you’ve heard and learned about the Gospel must be shared with others. When God saves you, He makes you His partner in saving others, and also gives you the responsibility to disciple them and make them soul winners too.
 
You’re responsible both for leading people to Christ, and also for ensuring they’re grounded in the Church as soul winners. This makes you a “VIP” – a very important personality with God – because you care about what He cares about the most – soul winning. Growing up as a young Christian, there were those God placed on my path to help build my faith, and teach me to pray. Today, after many years, I’ve helped many others build their faith, discover and live in their inheritance in Christ; and I’m still at it.
 
That’s the principle; you’re saved to save others. You’re built to build others. Don’t get comfortable just being on the receiving end. As believers, the ministry of reconciliation is our collective, as well as our individual responsibility: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19).
 
Imagine how many more people we could all reach together with the Gospel if we all took up the responsibility of soul winning to our best and fullest potentials! Take discipleship seriously. You have to strengthen other saints to do the work of the ministry. Don’t be the one always needing strengthening. Help build the faith of others to become more effective in doing God’s work.
 
If you aren’t responsible yet for the spiritual development of other believers, ensure you begin; participate in soul winning activities organized in your local assembly. If you’re already involved in building and helping to train others, keep at it. Reach out to more people, so that at the end of the day, you’ll be able to confidently say to the Master: “Lord, for all that I received, here’s what I did with it.” And then He’ll say: ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant!”
 
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for saving me, and making me your partner in saving others as well. Not only am I a labourer in the field, I’m also effective in building others to be labourers and soul winners so that we can reap a plenteous harvest for the Master, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Thanks but em, what's the award attached to it
What's the gift for the winner
Need to know joagbaje and moderator

Joagbaje:

You don't mean!. Tell us more, how did it go? Did you take water or something? How did you sustain your body? 

This was some years ago, we had 30 days of glory in church in the month of January where we fasted for 30 days non stop.
At first when it was announced, i felt like i was excluded cos I taught it was not possible
The first 2 weeks was not it at all, I thought I would die
I didn't have the revelation of taking water so I did it dry
We ended by 6pm everyday and met in church to break
We had teaching and praying sessions everyday so at times you end your fast by 7,8 or 9pm

Joagbaje:

  Did you just do 30 days one time or you started with few days before you finally embark on 30 days.

Well, before then , the fasting I could embark on was a day then some days then a week highest but even as at then I was not faithful to it. I just couldn't
But when this 30 day fasting came, i took it as a challenge
It ended well, at a point in time I got used to it.
I didn't bother about food
Ive never being on the fat side so you can imagine the way I looked
My father complained all through and got me blood capsules, amino acid drugs, complan milk and all
But he didn't understand and I didn't bother to explain
But my mum knew and encouraged me a little
My younger sister and I were in it together so whenever I felt like " time to give up" she encouraged me
So that was it

At the end of it all, I experienced a closer walk with God, I was broken
It was after that fast I could worship God with tears pouring down my face
Oh! What an experience it was
We had pastors minister the word like never before
I had new insights into a lot of things

30 days is my longest so far

Death Has Been Defeated – Saturday November 26, 2011 – Pastor Chris
By Diane Maartens and Peace Ty Omisakin in Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional · Edit Doc
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (1 Corinthians 15:25-26).
 
Until Jesus came, Satan had the keys of death. The Bible lets us now that men and women were, all their lifetime, subject to bondage because of the fear of death. But Jesus put an end to that through His victory over death and the grave and liberated all men from the fear of death: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Hebrews 2:14-15).
 
As a result of Adam’s disobedience, the Bible says death came upon all men (Romans 5:12). When Adam committed high treason back in the Garden of Eden by obeying Satan, death began to work in every man. The devil gained liberty to afflict men with sickness, disease and destruction.
 
But blessed be God! When Jesus died on the cross, He went right into hell, the devil’s territory and took back from him the keys of death and hell: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death” (Revelation 1:18). He overcame death when He triumphantly rose from the dead and ushered man into a new life. Today, anyone who is born again need not fear death, for death has been defeated by Jesus; it is the last enemy that will be destroyed, as read in our opening verse, but is already defeated.
 
Today, Satan can no longer take anybody’s life at will because he doesn’t have the power of death anymore. He can only make empty threats, and try to deceive men or make them destroy themselves. Jesus spoiled Satan by obtaining the keys of death and hell, and gave you authority to keep Satan, sin and death under your dominion.
 
Confession
Death and everything associated with darkness have no place in and around me for I am a life-giving spirit. I reign in life with Christ and have the power to keep satan, sin and death under my feet! O, what joy to know that I’ve passed from death unto life, and have been translated unto the glorious liberty of the sons of God!

2 Timothy 1:8-10
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
 
1 Corinthians 15:55-57
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Holiness Versus Righteousness – Friday November 25, 2011 – Pastor Chris
By Diane Maartens in Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional · Edit Doc
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 believers have confused holiness for righteousness, assuming that there’s no difference between both. Though often used by many interchangeably, holiness is not the same as righteousness and the difference between the two needs to be clear.
 
Holiness is a place in God; a condition. When God sanctifies something, whether it’s a place, a person or a thing, it becomes holy. That person or thing becomes separated from all others unto God. It includes two aspects. Firstly, the Lord separates you or sets you apart; and then secondly, He separates you to Himself. It is one thing to separate anything or anybody from other things, but that doesn’t mean you’ve separated that thing to yourself. But in this connection, God separates you from others to Himself; for His sacred use, thus you’re holy!
 
As God’s children, we’ve been sanctified by the Spirit unto God. So we’re called holy. That’s our condition. Also, when God’s presence comes upon someone or when God’s presence comes on a place, like it did on Mount Sinai in the Old Testament (Exodus 24:16) it becomes holy. The temple in the Old Testament also was called holy because the presence of God was there, and God had separated that place for Himself.
 
Righteousness, on the other hand, is a nature. It’s the nature of God that describes His rightness; His ability to do, and be right. He is never wrong. He’s always right. Whatever He does is right. When He imparts this ability to be right and do right into your life, you automatically become righteous. This also gives you right-sanding, which means you can stand in His presence without a sense of condemnation, inferiority or guilt.
 
Righteousness is you nature now; it’s the character of your spirit. You’re not only the righteousness of God in Christ, as the scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:21, rather, you’re both righteous and holy (1 Corinthians 3:17). In Hebrews 3:1, we’re called holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling. You share the same life and nature with the Lord; His nature of righteousness and holiness have been imparted to your spirit; you’re one with Him now: “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren” (Hebrew 2:11).
 
Confession
I am the temple of God and God’s Spirit lives in me, therefore, I am holy, as He is holy. By virtue of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, I’ve been declared righteous, justified and sanctified unto God, therefore, I live and walk daily in the nature of God that has been imparted into my spirit. Praise the Lord!

Prayer is a fellowship, a communion with God
When you pray incense goes up to heaven, it's a sweet smelling savior to God
Prayer is a meadium by which you can intercede for people, nations, situations e.t.c
The Christian has being called into a life of prayer and that is where he should find his fulfillment

He's doubting the gboko haram's acts and you are asking about reading the Quran and praying 5 times a day

Learn From The Word; Not Your Experiences – Wednesday November 23, 2011 – Pastor Chris

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
 
Some people say “experience is the best teacher,” while some others say that “life itself is the best teacher”; these are not true. It may be possible for you to learn a few things from your experiences in life, but the best teacher in life is God’s Word; the instruction manual for living. The Bible says “Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching…” (2 Timothy 3:16 WNT).
 
There’s no better way to be a success in life than to follow the Word of God and do what it says. There are folks who only learn through terrible experiences the things they could have learnt if they had only followed the Word of God. Such people experience crisis in their businesses, marriages and other areas of life. But you don’t need to learn that way. You don’t have to lose all your investments to learn how to handle your finances properly. Neither do you need to have experienced a rocky marriage before you learn how to love your spouse.
 
Learning God’s Word and putting it to work will save you from regrettable experiences. David said, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). The Message Translation puts it this way: “By your words I can see where I’m going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path.” That means the Word of God illuminates the paths of your life; it gives you direction and the ‘know-how’ to succeed in life.
 
You don’t have to live by “trial and error”; stick with the Word, and everything about your life will work out beautifully well. Yielding to the Word of God and living by it will make you a wonder to others. They’d begin to ask how come life is so easy for you! The answer is simple: The Word of God has become the pilot of your life.
 
Confession
Dear Lord, your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path! It is the compass by which I navigate through life, driving me in the path of righteousness, success and prosperity. My heart will forever trust in your Word to do what it says, for not only is your Word my best teacher, it also pilots me to the highest heights of success.
 
Further Study
Psalm 119:9
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
 
Psalm 19:7-8
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

A New Order For The New Creation – Monday November 21, 2011 – Pastor Anita
By Diane Maartens and Emmanuel Chukwuemeka in Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional · Edit Doc
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24).
Notice in the scripture above. That Jesus didn’t say “ask in faith and ye shall receive,” rather, He said “ask, and ye shall receive.” He was teaching the disciples something very important here. Hitherto, He had taught them about asking with faith, saying: “…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20). But in our opening verse, He introduces them to something new: asking in His Name.
Prior to this time, Jesus taught them about prayer and faith but didn’t associate it with using His Name. That’s why He said “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name.” He was rounding off His ministry, and a new day was coming. This was going to be a new order.
“Does this then do away with faith?” you might want to ask. No! It just lets us know what manner of men we are as new creations. We’re men and women of faith; we were saved – born again – by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:. We’re creatures of faith; God has dealt to every one of us the required measure of faith (Romans 12:3). Now, we don’t need to be told to have faith, for we were born with faith in our spirits. Faith is our lifestyle: “Now the just shall live by faith…” (Hebrews 10:38).
That’s why we can use the Name of Jesus as an instrument at any time and expect results. Jesus said “ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” This means you can ask for just about anything, and He will personally see to it that it happens. Is there anything troubling you? Is there anything distracting your work? Don’t carry it over to the coming year! Demand a change now, in the Name of Jesus to blaze through every banner and knock down every opposing wall.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for giving me the authority to use the Name of Jesus, the Name which is above every other name. As I boldly use this Name today, demons tremble and situations bow before me. Hallelujah!

Philippians 2:9-11

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; 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.

Please leave your own sermon.

John 3:16-17
16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ( unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
