RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. NO FAILURE OR DEFEAT - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD SATURDAY, 23RD OF APRIL 2016.
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called
us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
The life that we’ve been called to live in Christ is the
transcendent life. It’s far removed from failure and defeat, because we’re
associates of the God-kind. We’re joint heirs with Christ. Why then should any
Christian suffer defeat and pain, when he’s a joint-heir with Christ?
God had a plan, to make you one with Christ. That plan has already materialized. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” Now that you’re born again, you’re one with the Lord. You’ve come into union with Christ. You’re not one who’s struggling to attain God’s level; you’re already one with Him.
Therefore, sickness, disease and infirmity shouldn’t have a place in your body. Failure of any kind isn’t, and shouldn’t be, a part of your life. Satan isn’t a factor either, because you’re seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that’s named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. You’re superior to Satan and his cohorts.
Moreover, Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” You might say, “But He only blessed us with all spiritual blessings”; no, understand that the spiritual controls the physical. The lesser is included in the greater. So, if you’re blessed with all spiritual blessings, then you have automatically been blessed with all physical blessings. This means that there’s nothing you don’t have.
No wonder Paul said, “…all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). Everything you require for the life of absolute success, victory, dominion, glory and righteousness has already been granted you in Christ. That’s what we read in our opening verse. So, as a Christian, poverty is unnecessary, because you’re the seed of Abraham. The reason many suffer is their lack of knowledge: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6).
Get to know who you are. You were called to a life of glory and excellence, not failure and defeat. Live every day with this consciousness.

Romans 8:16-17 (NLT)
For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. 17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.
