RHAPSODY OF REALITIES - DAILY DEVOTIONAL TOPIC: "TAKE YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST" SATURDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome ------------------------------------------------- Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39)📃 What we just read brings to mind what the Bible says in Romans 3:24, that we've been justified freely by grace through the redemption that's in Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ we've received remission of sins, the complete removal of sins, and by Him we've been justified from all things, from which we couldn't be justified by the Law of Moses. That means we've been declared acquitted, free from all charges and accusations. Blessed be God! Jesus made it so. He took your place so that you might take His place. Taking your place in Christ is what Christianity is about. Take what He gave up for you; take the place He has given you your new place in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Take your place of righteousness and express the will and nature of the Father. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." This is your new place the place of wealth and abundance. Also, read Ephesians 2:4-5 and see your place: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)." You've been raised up together and made to sit together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. This signifies a place of authority; you're recognized in the heavenly realm as a man or woman of dominion. Blessed be God! 🙇‍♀️PRAYER🙇‍♀️ Dear Father, I thank You for the place You've given me in Christ-a place of glory, dominion, wealth, abundance and power. I walk in the consciousness of this reality, expressing Your will, nature and purpose as I reign and rule in life, exercising authority over circumstances, in Jesus' Name. Amen. 📚FURTHER STUDY✍️ 2 Corinthians 5:21 Romans 5:17 Ephesians 2:6 NIV 1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN✍️ Mark 5:21-43 & Leviticus 22-23 2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN✍️ Matthew 16:21-28 & Exodus 3 ------------------------------------------------- #christEmbassy #pastorchris #healingstreams #Rhapsody #healingstreamswithpastorchris #LoveWorldNation

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES - DAILY DEVOTIONAL TOPIC: "INTIMACY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT" THURSDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome ------------------------------------------------- The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).📃 The foundational principles of developing a personal and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is through the Word of God and prayer. It's important to yield to Him through the Word and deepen your relationship with Him through prayer. Every relationship without communication dies, irrespective of what that relationship is, whether it's the relationship between parents and their children, spouses, co-workers, etc. On the other hand, good communication nourishes and enhances relationships. If you're going to have a richer fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you need to commune effectively with Him in prayer. He's a person, and you've got to relate to Him as a person. Read our opening scripture again; it indicates the kind of relationship we're supposed to have with the Lord. The Father is in heaven, and Jesus has gone to heaven; only the Holy Spirit is here with us. The God we know and relate to today is the Holy Spirit. He makes the presence of the Father and the presence of Jesus real to you. So, learn to talk to Him. That's why speaking in tongues is also vital. Speak in tongues often. The Apostle Paul serves as a great example of a successful Christian and minister, and one of his secrets was fellowship with the Holy Spirit through prayer. He said, "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all" (1 Corinthians 14:18). If Paul realized it was necessary for him to speak in tongues so much that he could say he spoke with tongues more than the whole Corinthian church, then you must recognize its importance. Speak in tongues every day and every so often, and build a sturdy relationship with the Holy Spirit. 🙇‍♀️PRAYER🙇‍♀️ Dear Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit; I recognize His presence in my life and yield fully to His leading. As I fellowship with Him, my spirit is built strong, and I'm empowered to live victoriously, every day, in Jesus' Name. Amen. 📚FURTHER STUDY✍️ 1 Corinthians 14:2 Romans 8:26 John 14:16-17 1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN✍️ Matthew 25:31-46 & Exodus 31 2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN✍️ Matthew 12:39-50 & Genesis 37 ------------------------------------------------- #christEmbassy #pastorchris #healingstreams #Rhapsody #healingstreamswithpastorchris #LoveWorldNation

THE BENEFITS OF KEEPING SEX OFF DURING DATING 1. It helps you to make wise and clear decisions in choosing a partner. Sex beclouds your judgement because it is pleasurable. 2. It keeps away jokers. Only a serious person will want to date you without sex. This is how to know who is a player or not. 3. It helps you two know each other deeper. When sex is introduced as two people are getting to know each other, the lovers dwells so much on sex that they miss out on other important things about each other. Sex distracts young lovers from building the right foundation for a future marriage. 4. It makes you two love each other for your heart and character, not sexual excitement. 5. It prevents unwanted pregnancy. When you love someone and you trust them, often you might not use protection during sex. Many men and women have become unplanned parents because they were engaging in sex with someone they love in a relationship. Often, the pregnancy changes things between them, some break up, other men abandon the woman and child. Others do get married but with a feeling they were trapped by the pregnancy. 6. It brings Godly peace in the relationship. Many Christian lovers feel guilty because of their sexual activity. A lack of Godly peace and continuous guilt makes the relationship suffer, you start to question. 7. It makes you both disciplined. You will need discipline in marriage, if you will get married. Premarital sex is the mother of extra marital sex. If you're strafing & jerking off now, real commitment will be difficult for you. 8. In the event that you do break up, the break up will not be messy and full of regret. Many have sexed a person they thought would be their husband/wife only for the relationship to end. It becomes very difficult to move on once sex has been involved. 9. If you do get married, you will both look forward to the honeymoon. Don't rush, great sex is on the way. 10. It's easier to leave a relationship when sex is not involved. It is easier to see things clearly when sex is not involved. Many young folks use sex to repress issues in their relationships. Orgasm can make everything wrong feels right. Premarital sexxx is not a proof of love. Conclusively, There’s a delight in waiting for your wedding night, knowing well that you WAITED & falling into each other's arms in deep passion without guilt. It might be rare these days, but it’s still beautiful, pious and morally satisfying. Sex consummates marriage. Marry first, then sex.
