RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL, WEDNESDAY 15TH APRIL 2026. PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME
TOPIC: โจALWAYS FILLED WITH THE SPIRITโจ
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18).
Itโs Godโs desire that you live continually filled with the Spirit, and the Bible tell us how in the ensuing verses 19 to 21 of our opening scripture: โSpeaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.โ
How profound that Heโd list for us what weโre to do in getting ourselves perpetually filled with the Spirit! Itโs up to you to put this to practise every day in your personal life. Itโll keep you above agitation, fear and worry. Those who arenโt often filled with the Spirit are easily troubled and uneasy, looking for someone to blame or somewhere to vent their frustrations.
But when you live full of the Spirit, you remain joyful, peaceful and at rest. You donโt struggle; your faith prevails. You function from a place of divine supply, strength and wisdom.
Every day, stay continually stirred, stimulated and spiritually minded. Itโs your responsibility to remain in that atmosphere. There, everything is permanent, unshaken, and eternal. From that realm, you govern circumstances and rule over lifeโs situations. Youโre constantly aglow and afire by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the blessing of being continually filled with the Spirit. I maintain the glow of the Spirit in my life as I walk in the consciousness of your righteousness, glory, beauty, excellence and eternal life within me. I live from the realm of the Spirit and dominate my world with your power and glory, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Ephesians 5:18-21 AMPC
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. [19] Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices [and instruments] and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, [20] At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. [21] Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 KJV
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Romans 12:11 MOFFAT
never let your zeal flag; maintain the spiritual glow; serve the Lord;
