READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME MONDAY,FEBRUARY 22,2016.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9).
The word translated "knowledge" above is the Greek "Epignosis"; a special kind of knowledge. It actually means precise, accurate, and absolute knowledge that can only come by revelation; it's the kind of knowledge that comes from God's Spirit.
Not many have the knowledge of God's will for their lives. Not many function with wisdom and spiritual understanding. They're hoping that they're functioning in God's will; hoping that things will turn out right, but the Spirit's desire is that you be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. This will stand you out, and make you a wonder to your world, because because you won't think or reason like the natural man.
Consider Jesus: a man was brought to Him, who was born deaf and dumb. When Jesus saw him, He didn't respond like others would have responded, on the basis of their limited, earthly understanding. He didn't say, "You know, he was born that way; there's nothing anyone can do for him"; no! He had a different understanding; He had spiritual insight. He knew what led to the problem, and how to fix it.
The Bible says, "...he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain" (Mark 7:33-35). You couldn't find that in the hospital, the laboratory, or through science. This was spiritual understanding expressed. Jesus knew that life, human life, is spiritual.
This is how God expects us to live. Your thought pattern, perception of everything and of every situation, should be from God's perceptive and interpretation; it should be from God's standpoint, not man's. He wants you to have spiritual insight; knowing what to do at all times; knowing His will and functioning accordingly at all times. This happens through meditation on the Word, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER:
Dear heavenly Father, as I meditate on the Word today, the eyes of my understanding are enlightened to know your will and purpose, and walk accordingly. Grace and peace are multiplied to me today, through the knowledge of your Word, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 1:17(KJV)That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
2 Corinthians 3:18(KJV)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.
Philemon 1:6(KJV)That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

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...
