Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional DATE● ● ●Wednesday November 13th, 2013 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome,Phd TOPIC● ● ● THE TRUTH Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17 Whatever God has said about you in His Word is the reality; thats the truth about you. For example, the Word says, ...Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). That means you cant be oppressed; you cant be defeated or disadvantaged in life, because the greater One, with all His wisdom, power, and glory, lives in you. Another truth is in 1 John 3:2 that says, Beloved, now are we the sons of God…. Youre a child of God now; not next year or when you get to heaven; its a present-hour truth. Youre born of Him, and that makes you an associate of the God-kind. Moreover, 1 John 4:17 says, ...As he is so are we in this world; that means youre His express image; the effulgence of His glory. Anyone who has seen you has seen the Master, because youre His icon. No wonder He said in John 17:22, And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. Thus, as He is-glorified-so are you! Affirming the truth of our uniqueness, peculiarity, and superiority, the Apostle James writes, Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures (James 1:18). 1 Peter 2:9 reiterates a similar truth: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Youre peculiar; the first and the best of everything that God created. Youre His most precious and prized possession, called to display the excellence, beauty and perfections of divinity! It doesnt matter what you may be going through in your life today; dont despair; youre more than a conqueror. Youre the seed of Abraham! Youre a success. The sickness-destroying, disease-resistant, and devil-repelling life of God is in every fibre of your being, every bone of your body, and every cell of your blood. Not only are you blessed, youre also a blessing. Everything and everyone you touch is blessed because youre the dispenser of Gods goodness! These are revealed truths about you in the Word of God; and theyre indeed worth singing, dancing, and shouting about! PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you, for my heart has embraced your words of life and truth. Thank you for granting me the revelation knowledge of the glorious truths youve spoken concerning me, and the wisdom to appropriate and walk in the reality of my blessings in Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY Psalm 87:2-3 James 1:22 Gd ♡̷̴̬̩̃̊м̣̣̥̇̊o̲̣̥o̲̣̣̥ό̲̣̣̣̥̥̊я̲̣̣̥п̲̣̣̥̩̥ɪ̣̝̇ι̥ȋ̝̊̅̄ı̣̣̣̩̥g̲̣̣̣̥ Н̲̅Ơ̴̴͡ώ w̶̲̅ɑ̤̥̈̊s̲̣ Ūя̲̅ nite You α̲̅я̩ε̲̣ what GƠ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡D̶̲̅ says you α̲̅я̩ε̲!
