RHAPSODY OF REALITIES - ENJOY THE LIFE HE BROUGHT! THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24TH. PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).
During the Christmas season, you might have heard some people say, “If there’s any time to imitate Christ, its Christmas time.” Actually, that’s a misconception of what Christ, Christmas, or Christianity is about. Though there’s the imitation of Christ in Christianity, Christianity isn't the imitation of Christ. You can’t imitate Christ until you have the life of Christ. Christianity is the life of God in the human person, made possible by Christ. That’s a miracle, and which is what Christmas is about. He brought us another kind of life.

The New International Version puts our opening verse more appropriately; it says, “…I have come that they may have life, and HAVE IT TO THE FULL.” He came to help us live the good life, which God prearranged, and made ready for us to live (Ephesians 2:10). He’s called you into a life of excellence, prosperity, perpetual victory, and righteousness! This is the reason we wish people a merry Christmas.
When we wish others a merry Christmas, it’s not just about how they feel or should feel throughout the day; it’s about the beauty and glory that Christ has brought into their lives. He has made your life glorious. He has made you a champion forever. As you celebrate this season, let God’s truth find full expression in you. Be bold about the Word of God; dare to believe the Word and declare, “I’m a success forever. I prosper in all things. The world is mine. I reign and rule over circumstances.”
Christ has come; He’s already been born. He’s already died for us, and has risen from the dead! He’s already ascended! Now you can live that transcendent life which He brought to us. You have that life now: “He that hath the Son hath life...” (1 John 5:12); it’s not a promise to the one who’s born again. If you have the Son, you have the God-life! This is what Christmas means to us.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the life you’ve given me in Jesus Christ! I’m thankful that in Christ I live, and move and have my being! He’s my life and my all! I declare that His glory, grace, and righteousness, are continually manifested in, and expressed through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. ||

|| Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. ||
|| John 10:10 AMP The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). ||

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. David understood the Important of that presence in has life – Psalm 51:11b Moses also recognized the Important of the divine presence – Exodus 33:15 God’s presence brings joy to the heart of a believer – Psalm 16:11, Romans 14:17.

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...
