Be Courageous With The Truth.

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:6-7).

There’re many in the world who are yet to hear the Gospel of Christ. In some places, Christians are attacked and killed, with many forbidden to profess Jesus openly. But none of these is new. The apostles faced similar persecutions, but they remained courageous until the end.

We must therefore be courageous with the truth in the days in which we live. Courage is the ability and the will to do what’s right or necessary even in the face of threats or adversity. It’s the will and ability to stand for what’s right in spite of opposition. Therefore, be courageous in affirming your faith in Christ, no matter who your adversaries are.

Be courageous in giving life, strength, and light to others. Courage is what got the Church of Jesus Christ to where it is today. The apostles and prophets of old weren’t afraid of kings, nobles and wicked dictators who opposed the Gospel; they sure weren’t afraid to die. Fear is the biggest killer in the world. Many people die, not out of persecution, but out of fear. Refuse to fear!

There’re only two that have a responsibility for your life, whether you live or die: God and you. If God doesn’t sanction it, no one can kill you. If you say no, then it can’t happen, but if you let fear in, then you become a victim.

Therefore, be strengthened with the strength of God; refuse to fear any man, systems or governments. Affirm your faith in Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life, and be bold to preach the Gospel without fear or intimidation.

CONFESSION

The greater One lives in me, and I’m sufficient in His sufficiency. My life is hid with Christ in God, and as I go forth, fulfilling the will of God, nothing shall by any means hurt me. By the power of the Spirit, I’m hauling the souls of men from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Acknowledge That You’re Special.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he                had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it                     (Matthew 13:45-46).

There’re people who like to tell us that we’re not very special. Even sometimes in the church, there’re those who, when they’re called to give a testimony, would say, “God did such-and-such for me, not because I’m special.” But you’re special. People make such statements out of ignorance, and a seeming show of humility. You’re peculiar. You’re special to God. You’re His pearl of inestimable value. It’s not pride to acknowledge and affirm that you’re special.

Remember, God gave birth to you. James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” It’s absolutely impossible for God to give birth to “nonentities” or “unworthy servants” that some Christians unwittingly arrogate to themselves, because He reproduces after His own kind. You’re the crown of God’s creation, the best of all that He made.

Our opening Scripture says the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought the pearl. You’re that pearl of great price, and that makes you special before God. So, don’t look down on yourself; you’re worth the blood of Jesus.
1 Peter 2:9 AMP says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” A clear understanding of who you are, what He’s made you, and your inheritance in Christ will boost your confidence and faith in Him, and your opinion and perception of yourself.

Be bold to affirm who you are in Christ. You’re God’s special possession; His anointed one, called by His Name, and made in His image and likeness. Be conscious of your real personality; you’re royalty, a peculiar treasure, a king-priest unto God, appointed to reign and rule in the earth. You’re special; acknowledge it, and walk in that consciousness.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for who you made me in Christ: a pearl of great price and inestimable value. I walk, conscious of who I am, as I manifest your virtues, excellence, and wisdom to my world, taking my place as a king-priest, and making manifest the character of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

Call To Divine Fellowship

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).

 

The highest and most important purpose of Christ in the plan of redemption or salvation is the call to fellowship. The reason Jesus died for our sins is because fellowship with God wasn’t possible, until man was saved from sin and its consequences. So, salvation from sin was a means to a higher purpose, which is fellowship.

Fellowship is a call to oneness; it includes participation, partnership, association, communication, contribution, communion, and intimacy. Can you imagine that God calls us into such a fellowship, where everything He owns belongs to us, as much as it does Him? Is that a possibility? Emphatically yes!

That’s what Christianity is about; we’re in fellowship with the Father, and with His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the most sublime of all the blessings in Christianity—our inextricable oneness with the Lord. The prayer of Jesus in John 17:20-21, where He said, “…That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us…” is fulfilled in us today. We’ve become one with divinity. We’re in Him, and He’s in us.

Through the Spirit, you’ve been immersed into Christ, literally joined with Him as one divine creation. You ought to enjoy that fellowship every day; it’s not something you go into and come out of, for you’re in Him, and He’s in you. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation….” Colossians 1:27 says, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” So, just like Jesus, you’re in Him, and He’s in you.

No wonder He says greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world (1 John 4:4). The consciousness of this truth will change your life forever, and give you a unique mind-set, where you walk in victory and dominion in everything and everywhere. Hallelujah!

Transforming Lives with the Gospel

As we endeavor to “transform lives through the power of God’s Word the world over,” we are very deliberate about reaching out to all who are within our reach.

We assist the community with Christian materials such as the Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional which is currently translated in 710 languages, as well as help those in need of assistance with high school equivalency and help entering the workforce.

Join us as we share God’s love to the world

We are called by Jesus to follow Him into the world as an expression of our worship. As carriers of heaven’s DNA and the aroma of Jesus in His world, we want to carry His grace, truth, and beauty into all the places where we live, work, and play. 

Every day, we have stories of people who received faith to change an adverse circumstance because of an empowering word that came to them through the Rhapsody of Realities daily devotional.

 

RECOGNIZE YOUR INHERITANCE TODAY!

The identity crisis is probably the greatest problem in the world today. It is the root of all wars, genocides, civil unrest and racial discrimination. Sadly many of God’s children are caught in the web of this crisis; they still don’t understand who they are in Christ, and until we are fully acquainted with our true personality in Christ, we can’t effectively impact our generation.

We need to take out more time to study and meditate on God’s Word until its truths completely soak into our Spirits. Never base your understanding of the scriptures on another man’s assumptions; find out the truth by yourself from the Word. As you do, the Lord will impart wonderful revelations to your spirit, and you will better understand who you are in Him.

According to the Scriptures, we have become sharers of God’s nature through the Word of God. This is not futuristic; it is in the ‘now.’ It is something that has already taken place. This is the greatest revelation the Church will ever have in this final hour, and it will culminate in the glorious gathering of the body of Christ unto Jesus at the rapture.

So you see, the Church of Jesus Christ is growing in knowledge and we are being reawakened in the knowledge of the living Word. We discover each day, that we are not just followers of Jesus Christ or believers; something more actually happened in you when you believed. You became one with God in nature and quality. As you continue to build yourself by studying the Word of God, you become more like Him in character and personality. That’s who you are and that’s what He has made you to be. Never be afraid to declare it boldly for all to hear!

Jesus Is The Answer.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

There’s no religion, no religious leader, no methods, or medium under heaven for man’s salvation, except by the Name of Jesus. As clear as this is in the Scriptures, there’re some who contend with it, stating that there’re many ways to God. But this is the Word of God! There’s no other name under heaven, given to men for salvation, except the Name of Jesus. In John 14:6, Jesus said unequivocally, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

There may be many that are called gods, but there’s only one God, and one mediator between God and men—the man, Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). He’s the only One who reconciles men to God; the only One who bridges the gap, and makes friendship and peace between God and man. This should be your conviction, and enough motivation to preach the Gospel.

Romans 5:1-2 says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Man had no hope until Jesus came. Man had been separated from God, and from His glory; there was no way for him to be reconciled. That’s the reason for all the religions of the world; they’re seeking a way to come back to God. But Christ is the answer. He made it possible for us to receive the God-life, ushering us into God’s presence.

As a Christian, you must be absolutely convinced that there’s no salvation in any other but Jesus. Be convinced that He’s the answer, the water of life to quench man’s thirst forever. He’s the only hope for the world. Man is doomed without Jesus; so let’s not act or pretend as though there’re alternatives. Jesus is the way—the ONLY way.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your grace that’s manifested to save, heal, deliver, uplift and prosper all those who embrace the Gospel of Christ’s saving power today, as it’s preached around the world. Through renewed efforts, I’m committed to world evangelization, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
