READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. YOUR SPIRITUAL ORIGIN - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME SUNDAY, MARCH 13TH, 2016.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (John 17:16).
In John 6:38, Jesus said, “For I came down from heaven….” What a powerful, inspiring, and extraordinary declaration from the lips of the Master! He said, “…I came down from heaven….” “How is this possible? Didn’t we read that He was born of a virgin in a little town called Bethlehem? So, how did He come from heaven?” Some have wondered.
First, you need to understand that Jesus never minced words. He was always succinct and unambiguous in His communication. When He said, “I came down from heaven,” He was speaking of His spiritual origin. This should further help you understand what He meant when He said, “...I am not of this world” (John 8:23). This shows that your origin has nothing to do with your physical birth; the land of your nativity.
Those to whom Jesus spoke probably knew where He grew up in Nazareth, His mother, his siblings, etc. The Bible actually records that on a certain day, Jesus went out to preach in the town where He was raised as a little boy, but they didn’t believe His message. They said, “…Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?” (John 6:42).
Their lack of understanding of spiritual realities made them not to believe in Him. The same thing happens today. Those who are spiritually unlearned don’t understand us when we make declarations on the basis of our divine origin. We’re not of this world. The Bible says in 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children…” that means you hail from God; your origin is in Him.
It’s not how you were born, or where you were born, that determines your origin; otherwise, Jesus would have said “I came from Nazareth,” but He didn’t say that. He said, “I came down from heaven.” Our spiritual origin makes us more than mere men; we’re comrades of the God-kind (2 Peter 1:4). We’re not of the corruptible seed of man; we’re born of the Word (1 Peter 1:23), which makes us indestructible and eternally victorious. Glory to God
PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for showing me in your Word, my true origin. I’m born from above, living out the indestructible and transcendent life of Christ. I live in the realm that’s far above sickness, poverty, failure and all the negative influences of this world. I radiate your love, glory, excellence, perfections and wisdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
John 15:19(KJV) If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
1 Peter 2:9(KJV)But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
John 1:12-13(KJV)But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

MONEY AFFIRMATIONS; MONEY EVERYWHERE !!!

Money likes me. Money flows easily into my life. As I give, I make room for more. I am a conduit of money into the kingdom. I attract money naturally. Everything I touch is minting money. I am laying up gold as dust. The angel of wealth accompany me everywhere I go and causes money to come to me freely. I have new opportunities and channel to make money. I have more than enough money to fulfill all my commitments and vows. Whatever activities I perform makes money for me and I am always full of money. Financial ideas keeps coming to me. I have money to save, to spend and to give. Money and I have a good relationship. It does not fear or shy away from me. I know how to manage, multiply and utilize it.

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...
