*UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT*

```📖Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven``` *(Matthew 18:18)*

In the Scriptures, it’s important to understand the context in which certain statements are made. Sometimes the same words are used in different passages but with entirely different meanings because the context is different. For example, the Lord Jesus used the expression *“bind”* and *“loose”* in both Matthew chapter 16 and Matthew chapter 18.

However, the subject or context in each passage is not the same. In Matthew 16:19, He said, *“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven....”* Here, the Lord Jesus was unveiling Kingdom authority, the authority of the Church to enforce the will of God in the earth. It’s about our authority to establish divine realities, to bring heaven’s will into manifestation and disallow anything contrary.

However, in Matthew 18, the subject is different. There, He addressed relationships and discipline within the Church. He explained how to resolve conflicts between brethren: first privately, then with witnesses, and, if necessary, before the church.

If the individual refused to hear the church, he was to be regarded as one outside the fellowship. It was in this context that He said, *“Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven”* as read in Matthew 18:18. Here, He was speaking of the authority given to the Church to make decisions concerning order, discipline and fellowship within the house of God.

This reveals something important to note while studying the Scriptures: the same words may not always carry the same application. You’d have to do proper contextual analysis. If you ignore the context, you could misapply the Scripture. That’s why the Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:15, *“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”*

*THE REAL SOURCE OF TEMPTATION*

```But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed``` *(James 1:14)*

The Word of God reveals something profound about temptation and how it comes. Temptation doesn’t begin outside; it begins from within. We just read it: *“… every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust....”* It didn’t say by someone else’s actions or external pressure; it says you’re tempted when you’re lured by your own lust.

That means the source is internal. Only what your heart already craves can tempt you. So, when people fall into temptation, it’s not the environment that caused it but the inclination of their heart. It’s not what they were exposed to but what they were already attracted to.

The Bible gives us the progression: *“Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death”* (James 1:15). First, there’s attraction, then contemplation, followed by conception, and finally, manifestation. It doesn’t start with the act; it begins with what was allowed from within.

That’s why the focus should always be on your heart. The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). It’s about what you permit to take root within you. Many try to avoid temptation by avoiding situations; while that may be helpful, the real issue is the condition of the heart.

A man is not tempted simply because something exists; he is tempted because something in him responds. This is why blaming others for your slips, errors, or temptations is disingenuous. The Scripture is clear: you’re tempted when you’re drawn away by what already has a hold on your heart.

That means the responsibility is personal. And this isn’t to bring condemnation but understanding, because once the source is understood, the solution becomes clear. You don’t deal with temptation through fear; you overcome it with the light of God’s Word and by walking in the Spirit. When you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfil the desires of the fle

*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL*

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

*MONDAY, 15TH JUNE 2026*

THE FLESH HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (Galatians 5:24).

There exists a common misconception among many that the flesh must continually be “crucified” or subdued through repeated struggle and effort. But the Scripture presents a different reality: the Christian has already crucified the flesh.

The Complete Jewish Bible renders our opening scripture beautifully; it says, “Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires.” This is not a process but an accomplished reality: your old nature is dead: “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).

The reason many still struggle with the flesh is simple: they attempt to achieve what has already been accomplished, applying effort where understanding is required. The more they strive, the more they become subject to the very thing they’re trying to overcome. That’s not how it works. Live in the Word. Accept what the Word says about you.

Even the works of the flesh listed in Galatians 5:19-21 are not attributed to demons but to the flesh itself, indicating that the issue is not external but internal. Understand that this doesn’t place the Christian in a position of disadvantage, because the solution is not found in suppression but in substitution: “...walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16).

The emphasis is not on eliminating the works of the
flesh but on living in the Spirit and by the Spirit, walking in the light and reality of God’s Word. As you walk in the Spirit, the life of the Spirit is manifested in you and through you, and the influence of the flesh is displaced. It helps
to understand why the Bible says “...Sin shall not have dominion over you...” (Romans 6:14).

*PRAYER*

Dear Father, thank you for the substitutionary work of Christ that has translated me from death to life, sin to righteousness, and

*HE BROUGHT US OUT TO BRING US IN*

```📖And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers``` *(Deuteronomy 6:23)*

There’s always divine intentionality behind God’s actions. When He brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, it wasn’t to abandon them in the wilderness. The exodus or *“coming out”* of Egypt was never the end goal; it was the pathway to their inheritance. The *“bringing in”* was the ultimate purpose. His purpose for bringing them out was to take them in!

This foreshadows what God accomplished for you in Christ Jesus. Salvation is far more than deliverance from sin; it’s the entrance into righteousness. It’s induction into liberty and dominion. Colossians 1:12-13 says, *“Giving thanks unto the Father…Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”*

Notice He didn’t bring you out of darkness and leave you at the mercy of Satan and the circumstances of life; rather, He brought you into His marvelous light, into a life of ever-increasing glory and unending victories. So, it’s not enough to celebrate that He brought you out of sin or out of darkness; the real deal is where He brought you into, where you are now.

He brought you out of pain, sickness, disease and infirmities that He might bring you into health. He brought you out of poverty that He might bring you into wealth. In Acts 26:17-18, we see this divine pattern again; it says, *“Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God….”*

He emphasizes the transition into something higher, a divine relocation. He’s brought you into Himself; you’re in Him now. You live in the realm of divine authority, love, glory and power. Therefore, reign and rule in righteousness, dominating the forces of this world. Blessed be God!

*CONFESSION*

_I live in righteousness, health, abundance, wisdom and dominion. I’m in Christ, and I’ve
