PRAYER AT 12 NOON AND 10 PM (LOCAL/GMT) - FRI NOV 13TH 2015

In Exodus 15:11 Moses and the Israelites sang, "Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"  At 12 noon and 10 pm (Local/GMT), we'll pray in the spirit for all 15 mins, meditating on the glory and greatness of the Lord, and working of His power towards us that believe in Him. For every mountain has become a level plain, for the Lord our God has triumphed gloriously; He is with us, and nothing stands against us successfully. Rejoice in Him, for all your adversities and adversaries are but bread. Hallelujah! Glory to God.

GOD’S WORD; THE NOURISHMENT FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT

The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God]is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts (Proverbs 20:27 AMP) The reason God wants you to nurture and develop your spirit after you’re born again is that it’s only through your spirit that you can make contact with Him. God doesn’t appeal to the human mind or the senses; He communicates and leads you through your spirit. When a man is born again, he receives the life and nature of God into his spirit. Therefore, the changes that are later observed in his soul and body are initiated from his spirit. The Bible says that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord (Proverbs 20:27). The light of God is not in your mind but in your spirit. Your spirit is where the Word of God illuminates (Psalm 18:28). The human spirit feeds on the Word of God. You need to constantly feed and nurture your heart with the Word of God. I’m not talking about the organ that pumps blood through your body ...

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me(John 5:39) In the course of His discourse with the Jews one day, the Lord Jesus said to them: “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29). This means that the one who doesn't know the Word of God will definitely make the wrong judgments and inevitably the wrong choices in life. That’s why He tells us in the opening scripture to “search the scriptures.” To `search’ means `to look thoroughly in order to find something’; it also means `to investigate so as to seek out answers.’ This implies some effort on the part of the one searching; it’s not a mere browsing over a subject, but a deliberate effort to seek out the truth from among several other facts. So, when the Master says to us “search the scriptures” you ought to know that it’s serious business. The Bible catalogues for us life-changing truths which you require to live to your maximum po...

TRAIN YOURSELF TO RECOGNIZE GOD’S VOICE

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27) There’re those who don’t believe God still talks to people today like He did in Bible days. So when they hear someone say, “God talked to me,” it beats their imagination. Well, the truth is God loves to talk to His children. He’s a master communicator who thinks you’re important enough for Him to talk to. If you've never heard Him, maybe you've not been listening. It’s also possible that God could have been talking to you and you didn't know it was Him. Remember the story of the little boy, Samuel. God called him three times, but he thought it was Eli the priest (1 Samuel 3:3-10). Why? Because, a lot of times when God talks, He uses a familiar voice. God still talks to us today; in fact, He does every day! He can talk to you in a familiar voice, and in a language you understand. Start training yourself to recognize His voice. The more you study and familiarize yourself with God’s Word, the ea...

TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO DISCERN HIS VOICE

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). Some Christians often find it difficult to discern the voice of the Spirit. This is not because His voice is weak when He speaks; rather, it’s because their spirits aren't trained to discern His voice. “So how do I train my spirit to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit?” you might ask. Simple, first, you must develop a voracious appetite for the Word. Study the Word and know it for yourself. The voice of God’s Spirit is made known to you through the written Word. Secondly, praying in the Spirit. Prayer helps to condition your spirit to become a dependable receptacle of God’s ideas, visions and promptings. So, how you pray, what you pray about, and the content of your prayer, on the basis of the Word, determine how sensitive your spirit will be to His voice. Spend quality time in fellowship with your heavenly Father through praying in other tongues. This will not only refresh you, but also cause yo...

READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL- THE WORD IS OUR ASSURANCE FRIDAY,NOVEMBER 13, 2015.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us (2 Corinthians 1:20). The reason we believe that when we pray God answers isn’t that we think or assume He does, but because He said so—in His Word. He said, “…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24). 1 Peter 3:12 says, “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers….” When you know these, you’re confident and bold to pray, knowing that God will always answer. His Word gives us that assurance. For example, if I asked you to see me at 10:00am tomorrow morning, for a car gift, you’d have faith to come, even though you haven’t seen the car. You may even happily tell others, “I’ve got a car now.” When they ask, “Where is it?” You’d boldly respond, “I’ll show it to you in the morning!” That’s because there’s a promise, and you’re confident that the one who promised you the car has both the means and integrity to make it happe...

READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL - SEEING WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES. THURSDAY,NOVEMBER 12, 2015.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16). The words of the Spirit by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 lets us know that we’re not to faint or give up when we face adversities. It says, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Whatever you might be going through today, if you’d maintain your confidence in the Word, that particular experience will produce for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. How will this happen? It’s by you refusing to look at “the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.” That means you shouldn't consider the things that are obvious to the optical eyes or the senses. This d...

PRAYER FOR YOU

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..

TRIUMPH IN HIS AUTHORITY

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19) When were born again, you were born into a life of greatness and royalty – you were born to reign. Revelation 5:10 says, Christ Jesus has, “…made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” This clearly shows us that we were raised to reign in Christ Jesus; we’re kings and priests; we’re men and women of honor and authority. In Mark 6:7, the Bible says “And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits.” The Greek word for “power” here is “exousia” and it means “authority”. Jesus has given us authority over unclean spirits; we live in His victory and triumph over them: “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15). Hallelujah! So every Christian has a...

A LIFE OF PLEASANTNESS

“The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage” (Psalms 16:6) In the Book of Genesis, the Bible says God placed man in a garden that He made: The Garden of Eden. Eden means pleasure. Can you imagine that God put His first man in the garden of pleasure? From the very beginning, God determined that our lives should be full of pleasure. Psalms 5:12 (AMP) says, “For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor).’’ David understood this when he said, “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage” (Psalms 16:6). The Contemporary English Version puts it this way, “You make my life pleasant, and my future is bright.” What a confession! In the eleventh verse, he said, “…in thy presence is fullness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalms 16:11). We were born ri...

PRAYER AT 12NOON AND 10PM (LOCAL/GMT)- WED NOV 11TH 2015

The Word declares in 1 Peter 2:9: "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". In both 15 mins sessions at 12 noon and 10 pm (Local/GMT), we'll pray mostly in tongues, meditating on, and affirming this scripture in the first person. Affirm that God's Spirit is at work in you, causing you to produce excellence and perfection in all that you do, to the Glory of God. Pray also concerning our upcoming International Pastors and Partners Conference, affirming that the glory and excellence of the Spirit will be manifested throughout the conference, and the delegates will receive all that the Lord has in store for them, multiplying the grace upon them to accomplish much more for the Lord. Pray fervently in the spirit. Remember today's midweek service. God bless y...

Grace is the beauty of God in your spirit, expressed in your life. It is the fullness of God in your spirit that brings favor, righteousness and all the glorious blessings of God in Christ. Every day, take advantage of the grace of God in your life, and live to your full potentials in Christ.  God bless you.

READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL - DO IT HIS WAY! WEDNESDAY,NOVEMBER 11, 2015.

And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice…And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them (Numbers 20:11-12). It pays to always do things God’s way. The scripture above tells us of Moses’ action when the children of Israel were thirsty for water in the wilderness. They cried to Moses, and when Moses spoke to the Lord about it, He told Moses, “Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and SPEAK YE UNTO THE ROCK before their eyes…” (Numbers 20:8). The instruction was for Moses to speak to the rock to give them water; he wasn’t to strike it. Interestingly, much earlier in their journey, when they were thirsty and cried to God for water, God said to the same Moses, “…smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did...

READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL - ETERNAL SUCCESS TUESDAY,NOVEMBER 10,2015.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). True success is by God’s Spirit. The “success” that comes from the world, through human efforts or abilities is temporal. However, the one that comes through the Word of God is eternal; it never fades away! For instance, when you stand your ground in faith and proclaim God’s Word for a job, business, project, etc., and you get results, those results that come from your faith in the Word of God have life in them. This is different from another fellow who gets his’ through human charisma or physical abilities. The latter’s success is temporal, while yours is eternal, because it has an eternal testimony of the Word of God that takes you from one level of glory to another. When God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt and took them into the Promised Land—the land of their inheritan...

PRAYER AT 12NOON AND 10PM (LOCAL/GMT) - MON NOV 9TH 2015

2 Corinthians 3:18 says: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord".  In both 15 mins sessions at 12 noon and 10 pm (Local/GMT), we'll pray fervently in the spirit, meditating on this scripture, knowing that as we set our eyes on the Lord and His Word, we're metamorphosed into the same image by the spirit.  Lift up your eyes and see your health, success and victory by the Word as you pray, and through seeing, transform your life from glory to glory. Hallelujah

READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL - GROWTH ISN'T A MYSTERY. MONDAY,NOVEMBER 9TH, 2015.

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith (Acts 6:7). I often tell people that growth isn't a miracle. Though there could be a miracle in growth, growth in itself isn't a miracle. Growth is the right application of revealed principles and means. Anybody could actually experience definite growth in anything they do. Wisdom makes you understand the principles of success, and how to apply them appropriately. For instance, it doesn't matter for how long you pray to add some weight, it may not happen by prayer alone. The reason is that God already revealed the principles and means for growing your body, and if you don’t follow those principles and means, it’ll not happen. It’ll be tantamount to asking Him to violate His Word, and He doesn't do that. If you’re going to grow financially, spiritually, or in any other area of your life, it shouldn't take ...
