Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional Pastor Anita Oyakhilome Theme: Dispensers Of Life Date: Sunday March 9th, 2014 Scriptural Ref: 1 Corinthians 15:45 GNB For the scripture says, The first man, Adam, was created a living being; but the last Adam is the life- giving Spirit. In John 10:10 the Lord Jesus declared, ...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. He left no one in doubt as to His purpose; He came to give eternal life to those who would believe in Him. He gave further confirmation to this truth when He said, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life... (John 10:27-28). No wonder Hes described in our opening scripture as the life-giving Spirit. Having been born again, youre one with Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, ...he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. You have become one spirit with the Lord; as He is, so are you (1 John 4:17); therefore, youre a life-giving spirit. Not only has He made you a partaker of His life, youre also the dispenser or distributor of divine life. This is your lifes purpose on earth; to bring the lost into the life of righteousness through the Gospel. Jesus said in John 20:21, ...as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. He has appointed you as His representative on earth, to manifest the God-life to the nations of the world. He has sent you as a bearer of His Gospel to bring the lost into the liberty of the sons of God; into the glorious life in Christ. Eternal life is unveiled through the preaching of the Gospel. As people listen to you preach, eternal life— salvation, prosperity and the righteousness of God —are unveiled to them. PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for your blessed Word, and the joy it brings to me daily. Thank you for the glorious life youve given me, and for making me a life-giving spirit. As I preach the Word today, eternal life is imparted to those to whom I minister, in the Name of Jesus. Amen. Further Study: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 1 Year Bible Reading Plan: Mark 14:1-26, Numbers 24-26 2 Year Bible Reading Plan: Acts 26:1-11, Psalm 67-68
