READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. POSITION YOURSELF FOR MORE. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2015.

As learnt in our previous study, fasting helps us to get our spirits attuned to God. It doesn't get God to listen to us; it gets us to listen to Him.

You may ask, “How does fasting help me in prayer?” In Matthew 26:41, Jesus said, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Fasting is a spiritual exercise; it’s a form of self-denial, where you’re able to subdue your flesh, subdue your appetites, to listen to the voice of the Spirit of God within you. Fasting strengthens your resolve and helps your focus, because praying is an act of communication where you’re talking to the Lord and, at the same time, listening to Him.

He desires to talk to you personally, and for you to understand Him clearly. However, you can’t hear Him when your spirit is clouded with other things. That’s the reason for fasting. As we journey into a new year, there’re many things He’ll like to talk to you about. It’s time to reposition yourself for greater manifestations of God’s Spirit in your life. Be excited at every opportunity you have to fast and pray, because it’s an opportunity to be repositioned for more.

PRAYER:

They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Therefore, Lord, as I minister to you in preparation for the coming year, I experience the supernatural release and influence of the Spirit in my life, and in all that I do. I’m guided, instructed and positioned for the next level of glory that you've planned for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen

SEVEN THINGS THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL DO FOR YOU BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

1. HE WILL BRING YOU GOD’S PRESENCE The Holy Spirit has a beautiful Identity. He is called the” ANGEL OF GOD’S PRESENCE”. He is the one that brings us the presence of God and makes it real to us – Isaiah 63:9,10a When we pray, it is the Holy Spirit that makes the divine presence real to our Spirits, and we are spiritually overwhelmed by His Glory.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. CHALLENGES ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD FRIDAY, MAY 6TH 2016.

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children...No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:7-11 NIV). The Bible says, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..." (2 Chronicles 16:9). That means He's watching and looking for opportunities to manifest His glory on your behalf. He never leaves you alone. He never lets you down. He's moved with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). He knows when you go through pain, and seeks to get you out of every predicament. Every human need is God's opportunity to bless. He wants to meet every human need. Actually, He's already done that in Christ Jesus, but some are yet to fully understand and accept what He's done. When you have a problem, when you...
