RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

HIS AMAZING AND ALL-PROMOTING GRACE

Monday, July 27th 2026

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

The opening scripture isn’t a promise for the future; it is a present reality. The grace of God pilots you. It causes you to reign in life. To reign means to live in dominion. It means you’re always on top, always above, never beneath. This is consistent with what God said to the children of Israel: “And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath…” (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Now, in Christ Jesus, by this amazing grace, that becomes your daily experience. This is why you must understand the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever you do in life, do it with this grace. With this grace at work in you, you’ll be successful, excellent, and a wonder. There is no failure in the life of one who walks in the consciousness of this grace.

This grace is all-promoting. It produces a life that is upward and forward only. There is no stagnation. Every day is progress. Every day is advancement. Your life becomes a continuous experience of growth and victory.Then the Scripture further tells us something really remarkable: “Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound” (Romans 5:20). This shows that the grace of God is more powerful than sin. When grace takes over your life, sin loses its dominion. Grace elevates you, strengthens you, and establishes you in righteousness.

How wonderful to know that grace reigns through righteousness. Romans 5:21 reveals this; it says, “That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” This is the life you’ve received in Christ—a life where grace governs, righteousness prevails, and eternal life is expressed. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness that I have received in Christ Jesus. I reign in life, walking in dominion, excellence and victory. My life is upward and forward only; I manifest your glory and righteousness in all that I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

James 4:6 (KJV)
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJV)
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*

_Rev. Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_

*WHAT THE GOSPEL TRULY IS*

_Monday, July 20th 2026_

_*For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16).*_

It's possible for someone to believe in Jesus and yet not truly understand what the Gospel is. This is why the Apostle Paul, writing to Christians in Rome, said, "I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also." These were Christians, yet he still needed to preach the Gospel to them.

That tells you something profound: the Gospel is more than the mere announcement of Jesus Christ; it's a revelation that must be understood. Many say they're preaching the Gospel, but not everything said in the name of Christ is the Gospel. The Gospel has a definite content, a definite power, and a definite purpose.

Paul defines it clearly: "it is the power of God unto salvation."That means the Gospel isn't just a message; it is God's power in operation-His dynamic ability to save, transform, deliver, and establish in righteousness everyone who believes. If you want to experience God's power, you must understand the Gospel because that's where His power is revealed.

Then comes the deeper truth: "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed..." (Romans 1:17). The righteousness of God is unveiled in the Gospel. Until a man understands the Gospel, he cannot truly know God's righteousness. Many desire to be right with God but they don't understand the Gospel that reveals it.

That's where we come in. As we preach and teach the Gospel, the righteousness that is of God, one that comes from Him, not from man, is unveiled. This righteousness makes you right with God, gives you boldness in His presence, and establishes you in dominion.

Furthermore, the Bible says this righteousness is revealed "...from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). This means it's a progressive unveiling. The more you walk in faith, the more this righteousness becomes evident in your life. This is the life of the one who has received this righteousness-a life governed by faith, sustained by faith, and expressed through faith.

So, what is the Gospel? It's not merely the story of Jesus. It's not just the announcement of His death, burial, and resurrection. The Gospel is the unveiling of what His death, burial, and resurrection accomplished. It's the revelation of God's righteousness: how a man is made right with God, not by works, but by faith. We'll learn more in our next study.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for the Gospel of Christ, which is your power unto salvation. My understanding is enlightened to know the righteousness revealed in the Gospel. I walk in the consciousness of this righteousness and live by faith, in Jesus'Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Romans 1:16–17 (KJV)*
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

*Romans 3:21–22 (KJV)*
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

*1 Corinthians 1:17–18 (KJV)*
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
