*PREPARING FOR OUR ETERNAL CITY*

Monday, August 5th .
Pastor Chris

_*And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Revelation 21:1-2).*_

Did you know that the major reason we're in this world is to prepare for another world? This world was never God's final dream. This is the place of preparation. Everything we do here, in this earth, is all in preparation for the eternal city. We will be moved into this eternal city, which will come from God and be established in the new earth.

God's intention was never for us to relocate to heaven and live there forever. God's plan is to have another city and another earth. The Bible tells us that this current earth will be burnt up—completely destroyed and replaced with a new one—with new heavens over it to regulate its conditions.

There’ll be a city in that new earth where you and I will be with the Lord and his holy angels forever—a massive city. The height of the city is as the length of it; think about that. The height is like taking a six-hour flight; that's the distance, both in length as well as in height. What a city! Everybody isn’t going to be there; it’s for only the saints of God.

There’ll be natural men and women who’ll populate the earth outside the city. There’ll be nations of men. The Bible says they will come regularly through the gates of the city to worship the King. But we, the saints, will always be with Him in the city, the New Jerusalem. Hallelujah! That’ll be the headquarters, and we’ll be functioning with Him at the headquarters.

So, your life here on earth is in preparation for that city, that eternal city. Keep working for the Lord. Keep doing what He's asked you to do, and don't be found wanting. Do everything He’s called you to do, and finish it. The most important thing to Him is the human soul. That's why Jesus came. So, keep winning souls and impacting the lives of those in your world with the Gospel. Prepare them to also live eternally with the Lord in our great and eternal city when the time comes.

*PRAYER*

*Thank you blessed Father for the blessing, privilege and honour of serving you and living soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world as we look forward to the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank you for the grace to fulfil your destiny for my life and finish the work that you called me to do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Revelation 3:12* Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name. *||*

*||* *Revelation 21:1-4* And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. *||*

*PROJECT YOURSELF TO YOUR NEXT LEVEL*

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he... (Proverbs 23:6-7).

_PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME_

Did you know that with your mind, you can project yourself to your next and higher level in life? Your mind is an instrument given to you by God to improve your life from glory to glory. You have to see first in your mind the things you desire for your life, and create them.

God had to teach this to Abraham when He brought him out at night and instructed him to look at the stars and number them (Genesis 15:5). He was getting Abraham acquainted with the power of vision; how to use mind-power to create realities.

Recall what we read in our theme scripture: as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. The quickest way to affect your thoughts is through mental pictures. You can project yourself out of poverty into abundance through your thoughts. Every man is the character of his thoughts. Your mind can put you in a place of glory or of limitation.

It’s about your mindset; each one of us has a destiny of greatness because we’re the seed of Abraham. God told Abraham that He would make him great, and in his seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed (Genesis 22:18). This is our heritage; we’ve been set apart to be a blessing to this world. But do you see yourself as such?

Think about the man Lazarus for example; the Bible tells us that he was a righteous man, but he died a beggar (Luke 16:20-22). He didn’t die a beggar because that was his destiny, but because that was his mind-set. If he had projected himself in faith, envisioning his rich heritage as the seed of Abraham, his story would have been different.

How do you think? Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind….” Use your mind correctly, to picture your glorious and victorious life in Christ. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I have the mind of Christ, a sanctified mind with which I project myself in glory and create the realities that I desire. I think greatness and see only pictures of excellence, success, victory and abundance. Hallelujah!

*HIS TRUTH PREVAILS*

Wednesday, July 17th .
Pastor Chris

_*Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come (John 16:13).*_

In John 16:7-8, the Lord Jesus spoke to His disciples, telling them that it was to their advantage that He had to go away, for if He did not go away, the Helper (the Holy Spirit) would not come to them. But soon after His ascension, the Holy Spirit came as foretold and has been here ever since, to guide men into the truth.

The Holy Spirit is carrying out His work in these last days as we preach, teach and disseminate the Word of God to help bring the nations of men into the knowledge of the truth for their salvation. The Bible says in Acts 19:20, _*“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.”*_ This is happening all over the world.

In a world of darkness, deception and falsehood, God’s truth is prevailing. And as we pray for all nations, the light of truth further gains dominance, blazing with unquenchable intensity.

In your prayer times, declare that the Spirit of truth fills your nation, your cities, states, towns and villages. Declare that the evil works in every nation are paralyzed and God's purpose for the nations is fulfilled.

When you pray this way, you’re establishing the truth of the Word in your nation and in the nations of the world. Consequently, the Gospel will spread unhindered and the Word of the Lord will have free course and be glorified (2 Thessalonians 3:1). Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, who dwells within us and guides us into all truth. The truth of your Word penetrates every heart and mind, exposing and overcoming deception and falsehood. Indeed, your truth reigns supreme in our cities, states and nations as your righteousness fills the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *John 16:13 AMPC* But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]. *||*

*||* *Acts 19:20* So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. *||*

*||* *1 Timothy 2:1-2* I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. *||*

*YOU'RE GOD'S FAVOURITE*

📖 *_"For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation" (Psalm 149:4)._*

The psalmist in the opening verse uncovers a profound truth that transcends mere religious rhetoric. It's a revelation that speaks at the very heart of our relationship with God. Observe that it doesn't say *"For the LORD taketh pleasure in the beauties of heaven or His holy angels,"* no! It says, *_"For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people..."_* (Psalm 149:4).

It means God delights in you. He likes you! Pause for a moment and ponder those words. This isn't merely about God loving us, even though that truth is monumental in itself. This is something more personal, more intimate---God delights in *YOU.*

Someone might think, *"Pastor Chris, how can He take pleasure in me? I smoked last night; I told a lie last week."* Irrespective of what you've done, the Bible tells us that the Lord takes pleasure in His people, and that includes you.

Now that you know how much He loves and delights in you, live right and do the things that please Him. That's why He gave you His nature of righteousness so that without struggle you can live a righteous life.

Every so often, contemplate the depth of God's favourable disposition towards you; think deeply on it. It'll change your outlook on life. You'll see yourself differently. Every aspect of your life---your work, relationships, aspirations---will take on a new meaning.

Now, if God likes you, it must mean He cares about where you are, what you do, where you live and work, who your friends are---everything about you! Can you see why He tells you in Matthew 6:25 NIV, *_"...do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear...."_*

He doesn't want you agitated about anything because you're His beloved and He knows how to take care of His own. Instead of having anxiety about anything, He says, *"Cast them on me because I care for you"* (1 Peter 5:7). See how much He takes pleasure in you---His favourite.

*|| PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for your gracious and loving disposition towards me. Thank you for making me your favourite; I am divinely favoured everywhere I go because you've beautified my life with your grace and embraced me with your loving-kindness. I thank you, Lord, for your personal love for me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*PROTECT YOUR LOVE FOR HIM*

Thursday, July 11th .
Pastor Chris

_*And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:5).*_

In Revelation 2:25, the Lord tells us something quite thought-provoking. He says, _*“But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.”*_ We just read in our opening scripture that His love has been shed abroad in our heart. That means you have to protect your love for Him, because you could lose it.

It helps to understand why He tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence, because His love is in your heart. The Lord won’t ask you to protect what you’ve received from Him if there isn’t the possibility of losing it. For example, people receive healing and after some time, maybe due to carelessness, sin or unbelief, they lose the healing.

As a Christian, it’s important you stay in the Word. Remember the words of the Master, _*“If ye love me, keep my commandments”*_ (John 14:15). By keeping His Word, you demonstrate your love for the Lord. Every day presents opportunities for you to live out the Word, keep the faith, and maintain your confession of who Jesus is and all He means to you.

Nothing should ever make you take your gaze off theMaster. He’s all that truly matters. Protect your love for Him and your passion for the Gospel. Keep preaching His love to those around you who haven’t yet known Him. Keep interceding for them until they receive salvation.

Let nothing stand in the way of your service in the house of God. Give no room for offence, malice or bitterness. Hebrews 12:15 says, _*“Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.”*_

There have been some Christians who were doing so well, loving the Lord and leading others to Christ, but suddenly they became cold and even stopped going to church because someone offended them. No! Let nothing quench your fire. Colossians 3:23-24 says, _*“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”*_

The end of all things is near. Maintain your passion for the Lord and keep producing fruits of righteousness; there’s a crown of glory waiting for you at the end.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the boundless love you have lavishly poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit. I guard this love diligently, keeping my focus on you and your Word as I spread your love and the Gospel to all, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *2 Corinthians 5:14-15* For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And [that] he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. *||*

*||* *1 Corinthians 16:22* If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. *||*

*EXCELLENCE CAN’T BE IGNORED*

Wednesday, July 10th.

Pastor Chris

_*…a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit (Proverbs 17:27).*_

Walking in excellence is for those who make the choice. Therefore, develop your spirit for excellence, to always produce outstanding results. Remember the words of Jesus: _*"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid"*_ (Matthew 5:14).

Then in the 16th verse, He 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). Yes, you’re shining, but are you shining enough to give light? It doesn’t matter what anybody thinks; make up your mind to do what you do so well that you’ll be a reference for excellence and thus make yourself so relevant and indispensable by building stability, discipline and reliability into your character.

There’re people who have so many responsibilities because of their excellent spirit and excellent performance. They’re so dependable that every time something new is about to be done in their place of work, their names come up. Yes; it’s because excellence can’t be ignored.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for the spirit of excellence that’s at work in me. I continually walk in excellence, and as such, my light shines ever so brightly and brings glory to your Name. I function in divine wisdom and diligence to consistently produce outstanding results, and my commitment to excellence is a testimony of your grace and goodness in my life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Daniel 6:1-3* It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; 2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. 3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. *||*

*||* *Proverbs 22:29* Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men]. *||*

*NOT REDEEMED OR DELIVERED*

Tuesday, July 9th .
Pastor Chris

_*Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).*_

When we say the new creation isn’t the “redeemed” or wasn’t “delivered” from sin or Satan, many don’t understand it. When the Bible talks about redemption, like you find in Luke 1:68, which says, _*“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people”;*_ it’s a reference to the Jews.

The Jews were the ones that needed to be redeemed because they were under the curse of the law. So when Paul says, _*“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law…”*_ (Galatians 3:13), it’s important not to be misled by his generic use of the word “us.” Paul was speaking as a Jew.

The Gentiles weren’t redeemed from the curse of the Law because they were never under the Law. That’s why in Ephesians 4:17-18, the Gentiles are described as being alienated from God and strangers to the covenant of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

But thanks be unto God; in Christ Jesus, both the Jews and the Gentiles have been brought together to make one new man that’s neither a Jew nor a Gentile; that’s the new creature (Ephesians 2:14). This new creature is a brand new man that never existed before as read in our theme scripture. The new creature is a new species, and this is where you belong in Christ.

So, being born again, you were born into a newness of life. You have the life of Christ now. You don’t have a past to be redeemed or delivered from, for your old nature, the life you had before you were born again, was supplanted by Christ’s divine nature. Now you walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4). Glory to God!

*CONFESSION*

*I’m a new creature in Christ Jesus, with the life and nature of God! I have the resurrection life. I’m not the redeemed, I’m not the delivered; I’m a brand new man that never existed before, living the transcendent life of the Spirit. Blessed be God!*

*FURTHER STUDY:* *||* *Romans 6:4* Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. *||*

*||* *Ephesians 2:4-6* But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: *||*

*HE’S THE MASTERMIND OF EVERY GOOD THING*

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end *(Jeremiah 29:11)*

It’s amazing how much God loves us. Think about the fact that He gave us everything! He gave us His Kingdom, He gave us His righteousness, He gave us His wisdom, He gave us His glory, He gave us His Name, and even gave us His life. It shows how much He loves us.

So, when people are suffering and in pain, it’s not from God. The Bible says in *Psalm 33:5, “*...the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.” His goodness—that’s all He wants every man, woman, boy and girl on the face of the earth to experience every day.

*Psalm 16:11* says in His presence is fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures for evermore. That lets you know the kind of God He is. He’s not the mastermind behind your suffering. He’s not the mastermind behind your sorrows.

Perhaps you’re reading this today and life has been hard for you; things haven’t been going the way you want them to go; you’re not living a fulfilled life; there can be a change even now. Embrace this loving Christ; believe truly that He loves you and wants the best for you.

He said in *3 John 1:2,* “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” What a blessed desire from our ever-loving and gracious heavenly Father! He’s the Father of light and of all good things, and He doesn’t discriminate *(James 1:17)*. *Matthew 5:45* says, “…for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” He’s that gracious and kind.

Also think about what He says in *Isaiah 1:19 (TLB)*: “If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then I will make you rich!” Imagine the invitation; that means it’s up to you to let Him help you live in prosperity and superabundance. But how does He help you? It’s through His Word. His Word is His truth and the light that guides you in the path of absolute victory and dominion in life. As you walk in the light of His Word, you discover all the blessings that belong to you in Christ and enjoy the fullness of your inheritance in Him. Hallelujah!

*CONFESSION*
The Lord is the mastermind of every good thing in my life. His thoughts towards me are of peace and not of evil, to give me a future and a hope. I bask in His unconditional love and experience His goodness every day, for He has given me His Kingdom, righteousness, wisdom and glory. I walk in the light of His Word that guides me in absolute victory and dominion in life. Hallelujah!

*FURTHER STUDY*
*Psalm 33:5* He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

*James 1:17* Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

*Acts 10:38* How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

*IT MATTERS WHAT YOU LISTEN TO*

SATURDAY JULY 06 2024
By Pastor Chris

*My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22 NKJV).*

What you listen to matters. If you listen to the Word of God that lifts your spirit, you’ll be lifted; your life will be improved. The Word of God is life and will keep you healthy if you give it attention as the scripture says.

You have to learn to reject negative words and information that demean or condemn. Many naturally feel more comfortable with words that condemn them because they recognize their frailties.

Such people live in fear continually because of their ignorance of the Word of God. As a child of God, you must be different; and learn and know the Word of God for yourself. The Lord Jesus said, “*And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”* (John 8:32 NKJV).

The Word of God is truth. Truth liberates you and brings you into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Listen to the Word every day. Study the Bible. Study Rhapsody of Realities diligently and follow the Bible study guide that it provides. Fill your heart with the Word of God, and you’ll most certainly live an exciting and prosperous life.

Joshua 1:8 NKJV says, “*This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”* Be a master of the Word. Live in it twenty-four hours every day, and you’ll live a great life of success, glory and victory.

*PRAYER*
*Dear Father, I thank you for the life-giving power of your Word. I reject negative and unwholesome information and fill my heart with your truths through consistent study and meditation. Your Word dwells richly in my heart in all wisdom, shaping my thoughts, words and actions in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*WEALTH, RICHES & RIGHTEOUSNESS*

Thursday, July 4th.

Pastor Chris

_*Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever (Psalm 112:1-3).*_

Notice what the Bible says: the one who reveres the Lord and delights greatly in His Word is blessed. And not only that, wealth and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Wealth, riches and righteousness are the heritage of the one who belongs to Christ.

This completely debunks the erroneous belief that if you’re rich you can’t be righteous. God has made His children rich through Christ. The lives of many Christians may somewhat be in antithesis with this, but it doesn’t negate God’s truth.

Those of us who have accepted His Word as it is have a different reality. In Christ we have wealth, riches and righteousness. It’s the life God has given us in Him.

The bane of many around the world today is ignorance; many have never been accurately taught the Word of God. Therefore, they don’t know how to apply it in order to walk in the reality of their glorious inheritance in Christ.

Make up your mind that you’re going to walk in the light of God’s Word as it relates to your prosperity in Christ. Even if you really didn’t care about being rich, He ordained that you should be able to make others rich. Well said the Apostle Paul, _*“As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things”*_ (2 Corinthians 6:10).

Locate yourself in the plans and purposes of God so you can have His will fulfilled in your life. He said, _*“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”*_ (3 John 1:2).
