Rhapsody of Realities Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Friday, October 23rd Topic: THE GLORY OF OUR KINGDOM

Hello, Good Morning

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

Glory is that which inspires, produces or causes honor. If you give honor, admiration, and respect to someone because of something that happened, that thing had glory, because it inspired you to honor that fellow. For example, when someone says, “That meeting was glorious,” what exactly made it glorious? It was glorious because we were inspired to honor, reverence, praise, and worship the Lord; thus, revealing the glory of His Kingdom.

Our opening verse tells us, “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.” When the people saw what Jesus did—when he turned water to wine—they were amazed; they trusted, honored, and revered Him. The Bible says His disciples believed on Him.

Psalm 145:11-12 says, “They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.” That’s talking about the splendor or beauty of God’s Kingdom that we've become a part of; it’s a kingdom where sickness, defeat, failure and death aren't real!

Think about the children of Israel and the promises God made to them! He told them they’d never be defeated by their adversaries. He said to them “I’ll take sickness and diseases away from you” (Exodus 15:25-26). Then, in Psalm 91:16 He told them, “With long life will I satisfy you....” All these and several other blessings in the Old Testament were addressed to the children of Israel.

Now, imagine the glory we've been called into as new creations, living in the Kingdom of His dear Son! The Bible says we obtained a better covenant, established upon better promises (Hebrews 8:6). Think about that! The glory of the New Testament, of our spiritual Kingdom, is the more excellent glory; it supersedes what the children of Israel experienced: “For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious” (2 Corinthians 3:10-11).

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank You for Your glory that’s seen in, and revealed through me. I set forth Your wonderful deeds, and display Your virtues and perfections always and in every place! I experience and manifest Your prosperity, grace, wisdom and righteousness in an ever-increasing measure, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
1 Peter 2:9(KJV) 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 marvelous light:

1 Peter 1:11(KJV) Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

MONEY AFFIRMATIONS; MONEY EVERYWHERE !!!

I LAY UP GOLD AS DUST! - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Somebody said, "There’s financial harmattan. Everywhere is just dry". Not me! Dry? Never! Not in my DNA. I am always in surplus! But when do you have the most dust? In time of dryness! Wipe the dust today, come back tomorrow, the dust is back, all over the place. The scripture is saying "In time of dryness, I lay up gold as dust (Job 22:24). Too much money! When their bank accounts are frowning, my own bank accounts are laughing, shouting for joy. Gloryyyyy!!! Remember, everything in life including your bank accounts have intelligence. Let my bank accounts shout for joy, and be glad! Because my bank accounts are favoring God's righteous cause, yea, let my finances say continually , Let the Lord be magnified.... (Psalm 35:27)! Hallelujah!!! Glory to God! It’s time to start laying up gold as dust and it’s time to start funding the Gospel big time. My name is on every naira, every rand, every dollar, every cedis, every euro, and every pound, Just look at them ...

YOU’RE THE BLESSED OF THE LORD – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Notice the construction above; the Apostle Paul wasn’t praying or making entreaties or begging God for spiritual blessings, no! It’s an energetic outburst of luxuriant, profuse, and exuberant worship. He glorifies the Lord who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms. He had the mentality that he was already blessed with all spiritual blessings that exist, and became poetic in praise. This should be your testimony! Be full of praise to God because there’s nothing you don’t have, and there’s nothing you can’t do! You’ve been endowed spiritually with all things, and for all things. Why did Paul use the phrase “spiritual blessings?” It’s because if you have the spiritual blessings, then you have all earthly blessings, because the spiritual gives birth to the physical. The lesser is included in the greater. Thi...
