RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. KEEP MAKING PROGRESS - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD MONDAY 11TH APRIL 2016

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit (John 3:8).
When you’re born again, you’re a mystery to the world, because you’re born of the Spirit. The Natural man can’t understand you. By the Spirit, David said, “I am as a wonder unto many...” (Psalm 71:7). That’s what God has made everyone that’s born of the Spirit. However, some Christians don’t know this; so, they live ordinary lives. You’re not ordinary; you’re not of this world. You belong in, and function from, a different realm: the realm of the Spirit.
The Lord Jesus, in our opening text said, “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” In other words, those who are born again live by the Spirit. And the Spirit, like the wind, is always moving. Jesus didn’t tell us that the Spirit is like air; He said it’s like the wind. Wind is moving air. So the Spirit, like the wind, can’t be conditioned in one place. Wind is air in motion.
In the same vein, when you’re born again, born of the Spirit, you’re a spirit in motion. Hallelujah! There’re people who have been in one spot for a long time; they’ve not made any progress in life; everything seems stagnant. That’s not for the one who’s born again and filled with the Holy Spirit; he’s always in motion: upward and forward; no stagnation. That’s my life. I’m always moving, always making progress.
That should be your experience. Never allow stagnation in any area of your life. When someone asks, “How are you doing?” you ought to say, “I’m excellent and full of glory; I’m making progress with giant strides!” Glory to God!
CONFESSION 
I’m growing stronger by the day, like a cedar in Lebanon, and flourishing like the palm tree! I move in the Spirit, and of my increase, progress, and prosperity, there shall be no end! I live the transcendent life of endless possibilities and victories unlimited! Glory to God!
FURTHER STUDY: 
GENESIS 26:13-14
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
PROVERBS 4:18
But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:18
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.

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...

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. Joy is the fruit of the human spirit and it is Independent of circumstances. 2. HE WILL TEACH YOU The Holy Spirit unveils God’s word to us; He reveals the things of God to us – because the things of God can only be spiritually understood. – I Corinthians 2:14 He will teach you and unveil the things of God to your spirit – John 14:26 God’s word is truth, it is the reality and it is the Holy Spirit that ...
