READ RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. BE ZEALOUS FOR THE LORD - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME THURSDAY, JULY 14TH 2016

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent (Revelation 3:19).

There’re Christians who are laid-back spiritually; they’re lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. They think of themselves as “normal” Christians. They jeer at some others as “too spiritual” or fanatical, but they themselves are spiritually inactive, lethargic and complacent about the things of the Spirit.

The Lord’s disposition towards such spiritual lassitude and ineffectiveness is revealed in Revelation 3:15-16. He said, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold nor hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” This is serious, coming from the lips of the Master.

A Christian who remains lukewarm could end up going to hell. Every one of us must take a stand for the Gospel and be effective in our Christian walk. Be on fire for the Lord. Lukewarm Christians are usually expressionless, even during worship in church; they’re just there. Everyone else could be dancing to the Lord, exuberant with worship and praise, but they would be wondering, “What are they dancing about? What’s all the excitement about?” No matter what the Pastor does or says, even when everybody else is laughing, they’re straight-faced.

When the Pastor says, “Let’s worship the Lord with our hands lifted,” their hands don’t go up; they lack the enthusiasm to truly worship God. If you’ve been that way, the Lord says, “Be zealous therefore, and repent.” To be zealous means to be afire. It means to let your spiritual fire burn with unquenchable intensity. The Lord Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

Let the things of the Spirit excite you. Get into the flow of the Spirit. Be known as a burning and a shining light. Be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).

PRAYER

Dear Father, the zeal for the things of the Spirit and for the expansion of your Kingdom has consumed me. I’m a burning and a shining light; I’m fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, putting on righteousness as a breast plate, with my feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. I’m full of passion for extraordinary impact with the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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...
