RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. TUESDAY, 23RD FEBRUARY 2016. USE GOD'S MIRROR - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
Israel, in the Old Testament, was called to obey the law. But as
Christians, we’re called to do the Word, we practise the Word. It’s called the
“mirror principle.” The Word of God is a mirror, and anyone who hears the Word
and doesn’t do it, (notice He didn’t say “and doesn’t obey it”), it’s like a
man who sees himself in a mirror and when he turns away, forgets who he is.
Which means the one who does the Word is the one who looks at himself in the
mirror and remembers his identity.
God’s Word says, “You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”; your
response, therefore, should be, “Yes, that’s who I am! I’m the righteousness of
God in Christ Jesus.”
That’s what God’s mirror shows you to be. When you turn from that
mirror, keep the picture in your mind, and keep saying what the Word says. The
necessary result is that you will live as the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus.
The same principle applies to your health; the doctor may have looked
into your body, and seen a mass, diagnosing it to be cancerous. They turned on
the wrong light. They’re seeing the wrong reflection, because they’re using the
wrong mirror. The Word of God is the mirror of God, and it’s also the true
light. It reveals the truth of who you are, what you have, and all that you can
do in Christ.
Therefore, refuse to use the wrong light to assess your body or
situation. Use the Word; the mirror of God. That mirror shows that you’re
perfected in Christ, and that you’re the glory of God. The mirror shows that
you can do all things through Christ, and no weapon fashioned against you shall
prosper. The mirror shows that you’re eternally triumphant, and can never be
disadvantaged.
Examine your life, and your situation with God’s Word only; accept only
the image and reflection of you that God’s mirror shows you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I live in, and by, the truth of your Word; thereby, setting
myself up for an eternal journey of glory, success, victory, and prosperity.
Your Word produces in me the fruit of what it talks about; causing the
circumstances of my life to align with your will, purpose and destiny for me,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

//Hebrews 4:12 AMP For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of
power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper
than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of
life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest
parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very
thoughts and purposes of the heart. //
