HIS GRACE AT WORK IN YOU

And God is able to make all grace
abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work
(2 Corinthians 9:8).

T he Bible says, “And God is able to make all

grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come
to you in abundance…” (2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC). That
means the Lord directs grace towards you. Grace brings
acceptability, honour and dignity; it attracts the right people,
circumstances and resources to you, in line with God’s
purpose for your life.
Every so often, declare, “I walk and function in grace;
grace sets me apart for glory and excellence. I’m a child of
grace.” The Bible says to take advantage of the grace that’s
in Christ Jesus. With this grace, you can be successful in
any and every endeavour.
Become conscious of what we read in our theme
verse; it says God is able to make ALL grace to abound
towards you; and He did in Christ Jesus. The Bible says
of His fullness have we all received grace heaped upon
6
grace (John 1:16). Then Paul tells us the result of having
received this overflow and superfluity of grace: “…much
more they which receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ” (Romans 5:17).
Grace causes us to reign (to “king”) in life. That means
you’re in dominion; you’re ruling over demons, sickness
and disease, poverty, failure and death through Christ
Jesus. Because His grace is at work in you, what others
struggle for will always come to you naturally, by free
course. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I activate the grace and power of God in my life. I affirm
in faith that I’m graced to excel and fulfil my destiny
in Christ. I’m sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency, and His
superabundant grace upon my life is sufficient for me in
all things, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

MANIFEST HIS GLORY IN SOUL
WINNING
And all things are of God, who hath
reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18).

E ach one of us is called to manifest the glory of

God in soul winning. With boldness, we’re to take
the message of the Gospel to those in our world and the
regions beyond. It brings to mind the testimony of a dear
pastor who was sent to take the Gospel to an apex ruler in
some Muslim region. The first time he went, he was turned
down. But his senior Pastor who gave him the instruction
told him to go again.
He went the second time, undaunted, knowing that it
could cost him his life; again, they turned him down. The
senior Pastor, convinced he had heard from the Lord,
said to him the third time, “Go again.” And he went; this
time, no man forbidding him. Hallelujah! He delivered the
message as he was sent, at the peril of his life. This is
divine boldness to an instruction from heaven.
There’s an unusual grace from God at work in the
lives of His children and in the Church today: all roads
open, and all barriers crumble because of the power of the
Gospel and the Name of Jesus that we proclaim. That’s
8
what’s happening everywhere we go with Rhapsody of
Realities. Hallelujah!
More than ever before, boldly proclaim the Gospel.
Remember where we’re from: the lineage of the patriarchs
and the apostles. Think about what they were like in their
day, and what they did with the message (study the entire
Hebrews 11). The Bible says of the apostles, “…they
spake the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31).
They preached everywhere until they filled the whole of
Jerusalem with their doctrine (Acts 5:28).
The same is happening in our day: billions of people
from around the world are inspired and transformed by the
message of the Gospel, because we’re of the same stock
as the apostles and prophets of old. We’re manifesting
the glory of God in soul winning because we function in
the same grace and power of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, your power to save, heal, deliver and bless
are wrapped up in the Gospel, which has been committed
to my trust to share with others by the power of your
Spirit. I’m imbued with the boldness of the Spirit to unveil
your righteousness and light to those in my world and
beyond, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PRAYING FOR ALL MEN IS
SACROSANCT
I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men
(1 Timothy 2:1).

A few years ago, while talking to the Lord, I had

some questions on my mind. Why did it seem like
the world was going in a wrong direction in spite of much
preaching by ministries and churches? Why was there so
much trouble in the world and very little peace?
The Lord soon began to show me some things. He
directed me to 1 Timothy 2:1-2, which says, “I exhort
therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all
men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that
we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness
and honesty.” Here, He shows us what to prioritize as
we pray.
We all want to lead quiet and peaceable lives; we
want honesty in our societies. But for all that to happen,
the Scripture tells us what we must do: pray for all men;
for kings, and for all who are in authority. God wants us to
pray like this “first of all”; in other words, as a priority. It’s
a divine instruction.
As the Church of Jesus Christ, we can’t ignore this
10
instruction and expect to have peace or honest men and
women to lead our societies. The Lord’s instruction is clear;
we must deliberately gather to pray for all men and all the
different categories of leaders in our societies: presidents,
governors, mayors, heads of schools, heads of major
influential institutions and more.
If we pray more this way, God’s righteousness will be
established in our nations, cities and communities; and
all forms of evil, turmoil, wickedness and terror will be
thwarted. If you haven’t learnt to pray this way, begin today.
Perhaps you lead a cell group, an outreach fellowship,
or you pastor a church, teach and lead your members to
pray this way. Intercede in prayer and give thanks, first of
all, for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority,
before you pray for or about other matters.

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your Spirit that
guides me to pray aright and pray effectively. Even
now, I pray for all men; for kings, and those in authority
in the nations of the world; thanking you, that your
righteousness prevails in their hearts. All over the world,
the lives of men are being transformed by the power
and influence of the Gospel, resulting in the glorious
salvation of many, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

WISDOM THROUGH WORDS

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).

I n 1 Kings 3, the Bible tells us of a remarkable encounter

Solomon had with the Lord. Solomon had offered more
than a thousand burnt offerings to God in Gibeon. The same
night, the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Solomon,
ask for anything you want.”
In response, Solomon answered, “Give therefore thy
servant an understanding heart to judge thy people…” (1
Kings 3:9). How it pleased the Lord that Solomon asked for
this. But here’s what I want you to notice: After the encounter,
Solomon was said to be the wisest man on the face of the
earth. The Bible says, “And God gave Solomon wisdom and
understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart,
even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon’s
wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east
country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than
all men…” (1 Kings 4:29-31). How did Solomon get the wisdom?
God only appeared to him in a dream; there was no physical
contact. But God spoke words, and wisdom was imparted to
Solomon. In 1 Kings 3:12 ESV, the Lord said to Solomon, “...I
now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise
and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before
12
you and none like you shall arise after you.” Solomon
believed, and immediately, he began to manifest wisdom.
God gave Solomon wisdom through words; He said it, and
that was it! Did you know that He did the same for us? Only that
in our case, He gave us something greater than what Solomon
had. Our theme verse says Christ Jesus has been made unto us
wisdom. And Jesus said of Himself, “...a greater than Solomon
is here” (Luke 11:31).
Jesus Christ (a greater than Solomon) is your wisdom—
“Sophia” (Greek). “Sophia” is theoretical wisdom and insight
into reality; it’s the collective understanding of things. Christ is
your excellent wisdom. The wisdom (“Phronesis” in Greek) of
the righteous is given you in Christ Jesus. It’s practical wisdom.
Thus, in Christ, He has granted you the ability to understand
concepts and see relationships between them. He makes you do
and say the right things before you think. How amazing this is!
Now, think about the amazing things Solomon did because
of the wisdom of God at work in him. You can do much more
today because you’re greater than Solomon. You have the
wisdom of Christ. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
I walk in wisdom; a force that makes me do and say the
right things at the right time, in the right way, for God’s
purpose. Christ is my wisdom; that wisdom effectively
works in me to produce fruits and works of righteousness
to the glory of God. Hallelujah!

JESUS IS THE LIFE
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life… (John 14:6).

K nowing the origin of life is one of science’s most

perplexing mysteries. No one has ever created
life. The very source or substance of life hasn’t been known
to man. But 1 John 1:2 tells us something so profound; it
says, “…life was manifested, and we have seen it….”
This means life came out of obscurity and was shown
to us. How? Who or what did John and the people of
his day see that they called life? It was Jesus! He is life
personified. Hallelujah! Imagine that you saw someone or
something that says to you, “I’m life; I’m responsible for
your existence.” What would you think?
Well, it happened. That’s what we read in our theme
verse. Jesus said, “...I am the way, the truth, and the
life….” That’s an amazing declaration! Who could ever
dare say such a thing? Jesus proved His claim: A man
named Lazarus was dead and buried for four days, and
they sent for Jesus. When Jesus got there, He said to
Martha, Lazarus’ sister, “...I am the resurrection, and
the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
14
yet shall he live” (John 11:25).
Moments later, Jesus stood by the grave of Lazarus
and “...cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth”
(John 11:43). To the utter bewilderment of the people
gathered, Lazarus came back to life! Hallelujah! That
wasn’t the first person He would raise from the dead. He
had raised the widow’s son at Nain (Luke 7:11-17), and
Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:41-56).
Jesus is the resurrection and the life. God gave Him
power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to
as many as God has given Him (John 17:2). This covers
everything that He came to do; it’s the biggest of them all:
He came to give us life. You received that life and became
a partaker of the divine nature when you were born again.
1 John 5:11-12 says, “… this life is in his Son. He that
hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life.” Glory to God!

CONFESSION
I have the very life and nature of God in me, because
I’m born again. This God-life makes me impregnable,
causing me to walk in victory, glory, dominion and
excellence always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

EXALT WISDOM

Doth not wisdom cry? And understanding

put forth her voice? (Proverbs 8:1).

T he Word of God is the wisdom of God. In Proverbs

8, we read of the appeal of Wisdom. In the
eighteenth verse, for example, Wisdom says, “Riches
and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness.” How come, in spite of this, there’re
more poor people in the world? It’s because many ignore
Wisdom.
Again, Wisdom says, “I lead in the way of
righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:20-
21). This is enough for you to bury yourself in the study
and meditation of the Word daily. When you give the Word
attention, you’re giving attention to Wisdom.
Sadly, many haven’t cultured themselves to exalt
Wisdom, to embrace and celebrate Wisdom. How do
you exalt or honour Wisdom? It’s by honouring the Word,
giving the Word first place in your life, making the Word
16
your only arbiter.
Proverbs 4:7-8 says, “Wisdom is the principal
thing; therefore get wisdom…Exalt her, and she shall
promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when
thou dost embrace her.” The wisdom of God—the Word
of God—will bring you to a place of honour. That means if
you’ll not exalt the Word of God in your life and in the lives
of others, you’ll not come to a place of honour.
Also, it says Wisdom will promote you; meaning that
if you exalt the Word of God, you’ll have life’s promotions.
You may be promoted at work, or in school, but being
promoted in life comes from exalting and giving the Word
first place in your life. Make up your mind that you’ll always
honour the Lord, by honouring and exalting His Word.

CONFESSION
I immerse myself in the Word; therefore, my life is
the expression of the wisdom of God. As I give time
to studying and meditating on God’s Word, I’m more
acquainted with the character of the Father; I have insight
into His perfect will, and I walk worthy of Him, pleasing
Him in all things. Hallelujah!

SINGING ACCORDING TO OUR
DISPENSATION
Whereof I am made a minister, according
to the dispensation of God which is
given to me for you, to fulfil the word of
God (Colossians 1:25)

A s I studied the Bible, I realized that God never

left us in the dark about anything. For example,
the songs we sing; they’re supposed to be according to
dispensations but many don’t realize it. Our praise of God has
to be according to our dispensation—where we live in God’s
calendar—His prophetic timing, and where we are with God.
When you don’t understand this, you may think that every
song is okay, but that’s not true. The Apostle John, while
exiled on the island of Patmos, expounded on three different
groups by the revelation of the Spirit. The first group is found
in Revelation 5:8-9. These are four living creatures and the
twenty-four elders. The apostles are part of the 24 elders,
and they represent the Church. Read the lyrics of their song
in Revelation 5:9.
Then, we have the second group in Revelation 14:1-3.
These are the 144,000 (about 12 thousand from each of the
12 tribes of Israel). The Bible says, “And they sung as it
were a new song before the throne, and before the four
beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song
18
but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were
redeemed from the earth” (Revelation 14:3).
They sang the song, but nobody could capture or
understand what they were singing. Why? It’s because the
song didn’t belong to the dispensation of the four ”beasts”
and twenty-four elders.
Lastly, the third group—the tribulation saints—who got
the victory over the beast. This is found in Revelation 15. But
these tribulation saints who’re divided into two groups (the
Jews, and those who became Christians after the Rapture)
sang two songs. They sang the song of Moses, and they sang
the song of the Lamb (read Revelation 15:3-4).
This immediately awakens an understanding in the
Church of Jesus Christ that our singing has to be according
to revelation and our dispensation. We have to sing songs
that truly praise and worship God; songs that are consistent
with who we are in Christ, our dominion and heritage in Him
(Revelation 1:6; 5:10). Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for choosing me to know and walk
in the knowledge of your will in wisdom and spiritual
understanding. I’m guided by the Holy Spirit to walk in
your light and in your truth, today and always, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

SIGNALS FROM DIVINE
HEADQUARTERS
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be sober
(1 Thessalonians 5:6).

G od is always in communication with us, but not

many are attentive enough to pick His signals.
There’s a communication system between us and our
heavenly “headquarters.” The Holy Spirit operates the
divine headquarters of our kingdom and has the capacity
to communicate with every single one of us anywhere, at
the same time, and at any time. A true soldier or minister
of the Gospel must be listening all the time to likely signals
and instructions from our divine headquarters.
People carry their phones, not necessarily for anything
else, but because they want to talk. But I carry mine,
primarily because of my writings. Before the advent of
these sophisticated gadgets, I always had my writing
materials with me. I had to, because I discovered by
practice and experience that the Lord will suddenly say
something important to me. So I’m always alert. My spiritual
connection never breaks.
Unlike the cellular networks that fluctuate, the network
22
to and from our divine headquarters never breaks; but
it’s about how alert you are to receive. It’s on, even while
you’re asleep. There have been times I woke up suddenly
because the Spirit of God said something to me and I woke
up with it, and I was wise to pen down what He said.
Train yourself to always listen to the Spirit. Always be
expectant that He’ll speak to you. When it’s time to pray,
keep your writing materials close by. And as you pray, listen
for His voice in your spirit and take action immediately on
the things He tells you to do. Stay connected through the
Holy Spirit. Remain prayerful and give attention to the study
of the Scriptures. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the ability to hear and
recognise your voice. As you speak to me from the
Word and counsel me from within, I respond to your
guidance, promptings and instructions, and receive the
corresponding blessings, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ROLL THEM OVER TO JESUS
Casting all your care upon him; for he
careth for you (1 Peter 5:7).

O ur opening verse in The Passion Translation says,

“Pour out all your worries and stress upon him
and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for
you.” He’s telling you to roll your cares and concerns over
to Jesus. How encouraging that is. It’s a simple invitation to
a life of unending peace and joy. Hallelujah!
The Amplified Classic version renders it thus: “Casting
the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries,
all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares
for you affectionately {and} cares about you watchfully.”
This means leave none out. There’re people who care so
much and are troubled about many things. It seems they
must worry to be “happy”; what a terrible way to live.
God loves you. He cares for you affectionately and
protectively watches over you. This is what He says of Himself
with respect to you. He doesn’t want you flustered or worried
about anything. Worrying will steal your joy and reduce your
effectiveness.
You may say, “The things I worry about are things of
the Kingdom; I have a target to win many souls, so it gets
me worried.” No. He told us to win souls; but He didn’t tell
24
us to worry about winning them. So, refuse to worry! Every
so often, say, “I refuse to be anxious over anything; but in
everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I
make my request known unto God. Therefore, His peace that
surpasses all understanding garrisons my heart and mind in
Christ Jesus.”
The things He asked us to do are never burdensome.
He said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me…and ye shall
find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.” That’s it! He’s taken the stress out of life.
Yours is to act on His Word. Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known unto God, and His peace that
surpasses all understanding shall garrison your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER
I’m full of joy, basking in the grace and glory of Christ and
full blessings of the Gospel. I’m conscious of God’s love
and care for me and for every detail of my life; everything
that pertains to me has been perfected! I live in peace,
and function from a place of rest, now and always, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

GIVE ATTENTION TO THE
ONE THING NEEDFUL
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath
chosen that good part, which shall not
be taken away from her (Luke 10:42).

T here’re those who get so carried away with their

work and other activities that they lose focus of
what truly matters—the Word! They get so preoccupied in
the many activities that they don’t have time to fellowship,
study and meditate on the Word. That’s wrong!
The Word of God is your food for life. 1 Peter 1:23
says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but
of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth forever.” You were born of the Word and can only
be sustained by the Word. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn
babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may
grow thereby.”
True and lasting success comes from conscious
meditation on the Word of God: “This Book of the Law
shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall
meditate on it day and night, that you may observe
and do according to all that is written in it. For then
you shall make your way prosperous, and then you
shall deal wisely and have good success” (Joshua 1:8
AMPC).

 When the Lord Jesus counselled Martha in Luke 10,
He was unequivocal in letting her know what to prioritize:
the Word! He said, “…Martha, Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things: But one thing is
needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which
shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41-42).
No wonder the Spirit says to us in Colossians 3:16
AMPC, “Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah)
have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in
you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish
and train one another in all insight and intelligence and
wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God
with [His] grace in your hearts.”
Give attention to the Word and fellowship with the
Holy Spirit! Spend quality time in prayer, every day; you’ll
experience such peace and prosperity—such blessings
and glory in your life that you never thought possible.
Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m blessed and transformed to hear and
receive your Word today! Even now, your Word stirs
faith in me, dispelling worry, doubt and fear; I’m built up
by the Word of your grace, walking in my inheritance in
Christ. Amen.

PRAISE MUST HAVE MEANING
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth
(John 4:24).

S ome people say they’re praising God and all they

say is, “Lord, I praise you”; but the truth is that they
haven’t praised Him. To give someone a gift, for example,
you don’t just say, “I give you a gift” and do nothing; you
deliver the actual gift to the person. You don’t give the gift
with your mouth; you act it.
It’s the same with praising, thanking and worshipping
the Lord. You do it with content. When you say, “I bless
you, Lord,” then go ahead and bless Him. How do you
bless Him? It’s by giving Him thanks: you thank Him for
who He is, what He’s done, and for His glory in your life.
There has to be a meaning when you thank Him;
what’s the thanks connected to? So, you say, “I thank
you Lord for X, Y, Z.” It must be connected to something;
otherwise, you only muttered words. If I came to you, and
said, “Thank you,” you’d want to know what I’m thanking
you for.
Even when He tells us to have a heart that’s full of
28
thanksgiving, it still has a purpose; there’s something in
your heart that you’re thanking Him for. I may pray in my
privacy and say, “Father, thank you”; that’s because in my
heart, I have so many things I’m grateful to Him for that
I’m not voicing, because God sees the heart. In my heart
are these beautiful thoughts of what He’s done for me or
said to me for which I’m expressing thanks.
So, always, when you praise Him, it’s got to have
meaning; it’s got to have content. The content is the fruit
of your lips, giving thanks to His Name: “By him therefore
let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name”
(Hebrews 13:15).

PRAYER
Dear Father, from the depth of my heart, I’m grateful for
your grace, mercy, wisdom and power by which I live
triumphantly today, prospering in all that I do. Thank
you for your glory in my life; you’re righteous, holy,
gracious, kind and pure. Your Kingdom is everlasting,
and you rule the nations in righteousness. Blessed be
your Name forever, O Lord. Amen.

YOUR BEHAVIOUR IN THE
HOUSE OF GOD
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know
how thou oughtest to behave thyself in
the house of God, which is the church
of the living God, the pillar and ground
of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15).

T he Church of Jesus Christ is the ground and pillar

of truth; it’s not an organization or association of
believers. The Church is the house of God, and the Bible
is clear as to how we’re to comport ourselves in the house
of God; there’s a behaviour that’s expected.
When we say the Church is the house of God, it
also means, firstly, that as an individual, your body is
God’s house. Secondly, the members of a particular local
assembly—the local church—is God’s house. Thirdly, the
place or building where we carry out our worship activities
is also called the house of God.
Now, in all three references, the house of God demands
and deserves reverence. The Lord is holy. The Lord is pure.
The Lord is righteous. Therefore, our manner of life, our
comportment in His “house”—in serving and worshipping
Him—must depict His nature. It must be according to the
Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
As you study the Scriptures, you discover the
30
things He says we should do and not do. These aren’t
commandments, but pictures of who we are, and how we
should live. For example, for your physical body, He says,
“Present it as an instrument of righteousness” (Romans
6:13). Then in Romans 12:1, He says, “I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
Also, Romans 16:17 says, “Now I beseech you,
brethren, mark them which cause divisions and
offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them.” In the house of God, in the
church, you don’t cause divisions and offences amongst
God’s people. You don’t walk in rebellion or disobedience,
but in faith, hope, love and humility. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
As I study and yield myself to the ministry of the Word,
my spirit is inundated with divine truths; my mind is
elevated to think Kingdom thoughts, causing me to
display the character of the Word in my daily walk, with
an increased manifestation of the glory of God in my life,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

JESUS IS LORD AND KING
… Until the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ: Which in his times he shall shew,
who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords
(1 Timothy 6:14-15).

T he Lord Jesus is the King of kings, and Lord of Lords.

When He was born, the Bible says, “…there came
wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is
he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his
star in the east, and are come to worship him” (Matthew
2:1-2). He didn’t become a king; He was born a king.
In John 18, we find His own testimony when Pilate
asked Him, “Art thou a king then?” Jesus responded, “...
Thou sayest that I am a king...” (John 18:37). His response
meant, “You’re right.” He spoke in the affirmative. In fact, in
the 39th verse, speaking to the Jews, Pilate confirmed Jesus’
affirmation when he said, “…will ye therefore that I release
unto you the King of the Jews?”
Had Jesus denied being a King, Pilate wouldn’t call Him
the King of the Jews. In Acts 2:30, speaking to an audience,
Peter said, “Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that
God had sworn with an oath to him (David), that of the
fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise
up Christ to sit on his throne.”
32
 In John 12:13, upon His triumphal entry into Jerusalem,
the crowds extravagantly honoured Him and praised God
for sending this King into Jerusalem. They cried out, “...
Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in
the name of the Lord.”
Of course, the elders of the Jews were offended and
told Him to silence those who praised Him and received
Him as King (Luke 19:39). But Jesus responded, “...If they
kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into
cheers” (Luke 19:40 NLT). In other words, even the stones
will affirm the same. Hallelujah!
The Lord Jesus is the exalted God, the immortal God,
living in unapproachable light of divine glory. There’s none
like Him. We’re not serving a mere religious leader, but one
who is King and Monarch of the universe. He has all authority
in heaven, in earth, and under the earth. Be unapologetic in
your identity with Him, and speak boldly of Him. Glory to His
Name forever!

PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, you’re the King eternal, immortal, with
all power, glory and majesty. You’re the joy of heaven and
hope of the earth. You’re the Most High God, who alone
is worthy of all praise, honour and adoration. You’re King
of the ages. I worship you today and forever. Amen.

RIGHTEOUSNESS—A GIFT FOR ALL MEN
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).

R ighteousness is one of the three cardinal gifts of

God, and it was offered to the whole world. The
gift of righteousness is for all men. You might argue, “Why
then does the Bible say, ‘As it is written, There is none
righteous, no, not one?’” (Romans 3:10). That’s the
reason Jesus came, suffered, and died for all men.
He came into this world to make a righteous creation
out of the unrighteous man. He died once, so that every
man who hitherto was unrighteous could believe in Him
and become righteous. Romans 10:10 says, “For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Legally speaking, every sinner in the world, including
the atheist, has already been made righteous. However,
because they haven’t activated the life of righteousness by
being born again, they can’t experience the vital realities
of the life of righteousness. They can’t produce the fruits
and works of righteousness.
It’s the reason we preach the Gospel; the world needs
34
to know that the death and resurrection of Jesus has freed
all men from the bondage of sin. Now, righteousness is
available in Christ Jesus. 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.”
Now that you’re born again, you’ve been brought into
a new life of righteousness: “Therefore we are buried
with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was
raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even
so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans
6:4). Righteousness is the nature of God that gives you
right standing with God, and the nature to do right. This
is your new nature in Christ; an intimate relationship with
God is now possible. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Righteous Father, I thank you for giving me your
righteousness, and granting me the ability to boldly stand
before you without guilt, condemnation, inferiority or
blame. I’m righteousness-conscious. I rejoice in the gift
of righteousness bequeathed to me through the death of
Jesus Christ. Therefore, I reign in righteousness; I reign
over circumstances and the elements of this world, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

JESUS IS LORD AND CHRIST

Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly, that God hath made that same
Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both
Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).

W hen we say Jesus is Lord, it means Master;

one who’s over others. He’s Lord and Christ!
He can also be called Lord Christ or Christ the Lord. This
is important because of the meaning of the word, “Christ.”
Christ is from the Greek word “Christos” and it’s the
equivalent of the word “Messiah” in Hebrew. But Messiah
means “anointed one” who becomes the Saviour. So,
Jesus is God’s anointed One, sent for the salvation of the
world. When He was born, the angels brought the tidings
of it to the shepherds and said, “For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord” (Luke 2:11).
Also, Peter boldly declared this incredible truth to the
Jews in Jerusalem, as read in our theme verse; he said,
“…God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have
crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Hallelujah! In John 4,
based on the testimony of the Samaritan woman, many of
38
the Samaritans of the city came to hear Jesus for a first-
hand confirmation, and they said to the woman, “...Now
we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have
heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the
Christ, the Saviour of the world” (John 4:42). Hallelujah!
Believing that Jesus is Christ is very important,
because without that, there’s no salvation. Jesus isn’t one
of the “Christs”; there’s no such thing as “other Christs”;
Jesus is the CHRIST! And the Bible says, “Whosoever
believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God…”
(1 John 5:1). Your salvation is hinged on this. Jesus is
both Lord and Christ; proclaim it everywhere. Praise God
forever!

PRAYER
Blessed Lord Jesus, I recognize you as my Master and
Ruler; the One with supreme authority and preeminence.
I believe with all my heart and declare with my mouth
that you’re Lord over every circumstance and everything
that has to do with my life. Amen.

MANIFESTING HIS GLORY IN OUR DAY

Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen. For by it the elders obtained a good
report (Hebrews 11:1-2).

O ne day, while I was still very young, the Lord said to

me, “I’m with you. I will not fail you or forsake you.”
This was life-transforming for me. With this information, I was
certain of one thing: God is dependable. I got up from where
I was sitting that day, a changed person forever.
I was ecstatic because the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob; the God of the prophets and the apostles; the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ was with me. He’s real
in me and to me. He isn’t only the God of the Bible, but my
God as well. Hallelujah!
Think about it: In the days of the prophets and the
apostles, the Bible says they obtained a good report by
their life and actions of faith. The apostles were inspired
when they read of the elders like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
David, Jephthah, Moses, Elijah, and more. We also read of
the elders, but we are further inspired by the likes of Peter,
James, John, Paul, and the others.
It however shouldn’t stop there. What will your days be
40
like? What’s your story going to be? How will it be written?
Just as the elders obtained a good report, we also have to
obtain good reports in our day. We shouldn’t have the young
generation ask us: “Where’s the God of Elijah or the God of
Paul?” He’s our God as well.
We have to bring the God of Elijah to our day through our
actions of faith. We have to take Christ beyond the written
pages and manifest His glory to our generation, for He is the
same yesterday, today and forever.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for faith that’s stirred in my spirit
to change my world. By faith, I obtain good reports in my
day, as I accomplish supernatural feats for the Kingdom.
I refuse to be mediocre in any way, because my life is
the manifestation of your resplendent glory, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION
Poverty and shame shall be to him
that refuseth instruction: but he that
regardeth reproof shall be honoured
(Proverbs 13:18).

T he Book of Proverbs is an important Book of the

Bible. It’s a Book of wisdom which every smart
Christian should study meticulously. It shows us the
importance of God’s instructions and their applications to
our lives. Not everybody knows wisdom and instruction.
But Proverbs 1:2 tells us to “...know wisdom and
instruction; to perceive the words of understanding.”
This is referring to the Word of God.
The Word of God is wisdom and instruction, and there’s
a cost for not attending to instructions. Proverbs 4:13 refers
to God’s instructions as life. Our theme verse says poverty
and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction.
The person doesn’t need to have been poor; no
matter how rich he may be at the moment, if he wouldn’t
heed instruction— God’s Word—the Bible says poverty
shall be his lot. The fifteenth chapter further buttresses
this clear warning; it says, “He that refuseth instruction
despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof
getteth understanding” (Proverbs 15:32).
42
 The Word of God is God’s instruction manual for an
extraordinary life of glory, dominion and victory. Therefore,
consciously practice fellowship with the Holy Spirit and
the Word. That’s where you receive His instructions
and guidance that put you over circumstances and the
adversities of life.
Live out the Word every day. That’s exactly what James
tells us when he says, “But be ye doers of the word, and
not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James
1:22). This is what we do in the New Testament: we’re the
Word in manifestation. Through us, the Word of God is
lived beyond the written pages.
We’re the Word of God in action today. And so, in your
personal life, study the Word; “eat” and digest the Word.
As you do, following His instructions becomes your way of
life, and His instructions make great. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the gift and blessing of your
Word—the transformation that following your plans, your
instructions, will and purpose, has brought to my life! I’m
sensitive to your guidance; therefore, I lead a beautiful
and exceptional life, gloriously fulfilling your calling and
destiny for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ENFORCE THE VICTORY OF CHRIST
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and
to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly (John 10:10).

I n 1 John 3:8, the Bible gives us a clear message

on the purpose of Jesus’ coming. It says, “He that
committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”
What are the works of the devil?
In the first part, it reveals the works of the devil to be
sin; doing things that are inconsistent with the will and plan
of God. It includes wickedness, evil, destruction, sickness,
pain, affliction, and even death, for the Bible says death is
the result of sin (Romans 6:23).
But thanks be unto God! “Jesus came and abolished
death and brought life and immortality to light” (2 Timothy
1:10). In Acts 10:38, the Bible says, “How God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” The
sicknesses, diseases, pain, misery, and suffering in the world
are all works of the devil. But Jesus brought healing and
health; He brought light, joy and peace. He destroyed ALL
44
the works of the devil. Hallelujah!
Therefore, if ever the works of the devil try to manifest
in your body, in your home, or in any area of your life, just
remember that Jesus already got rid of them. All you have to
do is maintain your faith on what He’s already done. Refuse
to accommodate anything of Satan and of darkness in your
life and in your sphere of influence.
Hebrews 2:14-15 says, “Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself
likewise took part of the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the
devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage.” This scripture has
already been consummated. Therefore, enforce the victory
Jesus Christ wrought in your behalf and enjoy your glorious
life in Him. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I have the same life that Jesus has, in its fullness. My
life is sickness-proof, disease-proof, poverty-proof and
failure-proof. It’s a life of glory, victory, success and
excellence. Nothing of the devil can stay in me, for I’ve
embraced the transcendent life that’s in Christ Jesus.
I’m a partaker of the divine nature; I’ve overcome the
world. Hallelujah!

YOU MEAN MORE TO HIM
I in them, and thou in me, that they may
be made perfect in one; and that the
world may know that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou hast loved
me (John 17:23).

O ne day, a minister of the Gospel came to me and

said he was considering quitting the ministry
because life had been difficult for him. I asked him why he
went into the ministry in the first place. He said he loved God
and wanted to tell everybody about Jesus.
Then I said, “It’s wonderful that you love God more than
He loves you.” He thought about it and said, “No, that’s not
what I said.” Then I said, “But that’s what you mean.” Of
course, when I was done sharing with him from the Scriptures,
things became clearer for him, and today, he’s a fabulous
minister, doing amazing things for the Lord. But he almost
gave up.
There’re many in similar situations today. Some are even
angry with God because they think in spite of their prayers,
God has refused to “do something” about their situation. But
it’s not so; they’re not walking in His Word. Perhaps they
need more knowledge; new knowledge that’ll create new
opportunities. Perhaps, also, they’re not putting their faith
to work.
But here’s what’s absolutely certain: God loves you more
46
than you love yourself. He’s more passionate about your
success in life and ministry than you could ever be. He loves
you infinitely and unconditionally, but you have to live in and
by His Word. When you understand His Word, and His love
for you, it’ll change your life and give you an extraordinary
mentality.
In the Father’s eyes, you’re as precious as Jesus is.
He thought you were valuable enough to send Jesus to die
in your place. Imagine you bought a phone for $2,000; that
immediately shows the value of the phone to you. In the
same way, if Jesus Christ was given for you, it means you’re
worth Jesus Christ.
I’ve often said that even if you were the only person on
earth, Jesus would still have come to die for you. He didn’t
come because we were many. Therefore, appreciate your
value. You mean more to Him than you could ever imagine.
Think, talk, walk, and live as someone special, for indeed
you are. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
God loves me personally. I’m His peculiar treasure; my
value to Him is the value of Jesus. I think, talk, walk, and
live as someone special, for indeed I am. God reigns,
establishes, and spreads His love and righteousness on
earth today through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

WRITE DOWN WHAT HE TELLS YOU

And he spake a parable unto them to this
end, that men ought always to pray, and
not to faint (Luke 18:1).

I t’s very rare for me to pray without the Spirit

ministering something to me. Many years ago, I
learnt something I’ll never forget. While praying, I got into
a spiritual vision and saw the Lord standing before me,
and He began to tell me certain important things. But then
I realized I didn’t have my writing materials close by.
I argued within myself whether or not to go get the
writing materials, but I wasn’t sure the vision would
continue if I left the place. I summoned courage and said,
“Lord, can I quickly get my writing materials?” And He
permitted me. I got off my knees, went to get my writing
materials and got right back to the same spot that I was.
And the moment my knees hit the floor, there the Lord
was again.
What touched me the most in that experience was
the love of the Master. He waited for me. To think that He
waited for me. Hallelujah! But the point is that I made a
habit of keeping writing materials close by, each time I
pray, because I know the Lord may say something to me
48
and I don’t want to miss it.
The Lord knows how important the things He tells
us are, and we have to learn to write them down. If the
prophets and the apostles weren’t faithful to write down
the things that God told them, we wouldn’t have had the
Scriptures. As you pray, surely, God will talk to you. He’ll
give you guidance and instructions. He may even give you
prophetic instructions about your life and future; write them
down so you don’t forget.

PRAYER
Blessed Father, my heart is always ready to hear
and receive your Word. Thank you for granting me
revelations and supernatural knowledge; and through
these ministrations of the Holy Spirit, solutions will
come to this world through me, for you’ve chosen me
to be an answer to the cry of my generation, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

THE CALL TO 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).

W ithout fellowship, nothing you do on earth is

esteemed in Heaven. That’s why the highest
and most important purpose of Christ in the plan of
salvation is the call to fellowship; bringing us into fellowship
with God. It’s not enough that you’re born again; what God
really wants is fellowship with you. That’s the purpose of
the New Birth.
You can love your two-year old child very much, but you
can’t have real fellowship with him or her. Real fellowship
entails communication—sharing, talking at higher levels
where you understand each other and exchange thoughts.
This is the kind of fellowship God has called us into.
When John said, “…that ye also may have
fellowship with us...,” he wasn’t talking about conversion
from a certain religion to Christianity; it’s a declaration of
truth. We’ve been called into partnership and togetherness
with Deity. It’s the fellowship of the God-kind, a oneness
50
of spirit. Hallelujah!
The Bible says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were
called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ
our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9). We’re in union with Jesus
Christ. Romans 8:16-17 explains it further. It says, “The
Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God: And if children, then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ….”
The underlined portion shows the kind of union we
have with Him: He brought us to the same level with
Himself. This is mind-blowing. But you see, you can’t
function at that high level of oneness and fellowship except
through the Holy Spirit. Your desire should be to fellowship
more with the Holy Spirit every day.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of being in
fellowship, in oneness of spirit with you. As a result of
this relationship, every limit and barrier is taken off my
way; I experience nothing but progress in my life. Your
glory and wisdom function in me and through me in an
overflowing measure; and I experience unprecedented
manifestations of your power through fellowship of the
Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

GROWING BY THE WORD
As newborn babes, desire the sincere
milk of the word, that ye may grow
thereby (1 Peter 2:2).

G rowth isn’t a miracle and shouldn’t take a miracle; it’s

the result of the application of revealed principles and
means. Growth is intrinsic to life; it’s a natural course of life.
Everything that has life grows; it’s one of the characteristics that
differentiate living things from non-living things.
As a Christian, your spiritual growth is very important, and
you can only grow by the Word. God’s Word is food for the
human spirit. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn babes, desire
the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby.”
The Word of God builds you and transforms your life from glory
to glory.
James 1:21 says, “…receive with meekness the
engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” It’s like
natural seeds that can only grow properly when planted in the
right environment. If you want to grow spiritually, you must
expose your spirit to the Word; you must feed on the Word.
It’s one of the reasons you must be an active member of
a local church, where you learn the Word of God that imparts
faith and builds your spirit strong. Do your personal study of the
Word; this is so important. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
54
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Then, in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, it says, “All scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished
unto all good works.” Notice the underlined portion.
How exciting it is to watch yourself grow up to spiritual
maturity! You notice your choices and values change. Your
passion and affection are set only on the things of the Spirit. This
isn’t something anyone can do for you; it’s your responsibility.
God already fulfilled His role by making His Word available to
you. He said in Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom….”
With the Word in you, you’re able to tame the crises of life.
You’re able to take charge of your health. You know how to
keep Satan and his cohorts in check. You enforce the will and
dominion of Christ in your city, nation, and in the nations of the
world. That’s part of Christian growth. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word and its power in
my life; I’m growing unto maturity, in grace and in the
knowledge of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. My
spirit is built up strong, and educated as I study and
meditate on God’s Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PUT YOUR GIFTS TO WORK
And that special gift of ministry you were
given when the leaders of the church
laid hands on you and prayed--keep that
dusted off and in use
(1 Timothy 4:14 MSG).

I f you aren’t careful to watch whatever God gives

you, you could lose it. And part of watching it is
that you’re using it. For example, if you were given the
gift of prophecy and you aren’t using it, after a while, it’ll
become more difficult for you to manifest that gift or edify
the church with it.
It brings to mind the question a dear lady once asked
me. She said, “Pastor Chris, when I got born again, I was
blessed with the gift of prophecy, but I don’t know where
the gift has gone; what can I do?” First, Romans 11:29
says, “For the gifts and calling of God are without
repentance.” That means He doesn’t take them away.
For that dear lady, the gift was always in her; it didn’t go
anywhere. She was the one that might have strayed from
it or made it dormant by not using it. If you’re in a similar
situation today, it’s simple what you should do: Get back in
the flow of the Spirit, and stay in it. First, make sure your
commitment to God is very clear in your spirit. Be totally
committed to serving the Lord.
56
 Secondly, get back to praying. Prophecy is bringing
forth the Word of God that’s given to your spirit. But you
don’t get that Word when you’re not in fellowship with Him.
Get yourself back to fellowshipping with the Lord, and your
spirit will be stirred.
Thirdly, pray in tongues more often; this will energize,
strengthen and inspire your spirit. It’ll make your spirit
become more sensitive. Then, study the Word and
meditate on it. Remember, it’s the Holy Spirit who
inspires prophecy in your spirit, and He’s the author of
the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16). He’ll make His Word and
message more palatable to your spirit. And because your
spirit has become more sensitive, you’d be able to pick
His Word, His message, and make it available to yourself,
and to God’s people in prophecy. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of prophecy. I’m
inspired and aided by the prophetic intimations I
receive by the Spirit even now. I declare that my life is
for your glory; my future is that of success, progress,
and prosperity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I dwell
continually in peace, divine health, and in your grace,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

USE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY
CORRECTLY
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto
men to edification, and exhortation, and
comfort (1 Corinthians 14:3).

I n 1 Peter 4:10, the Bible shows that each one of us

has been blessed with one spiritual gift or the other
to use in the service of others. He also counsels us to not
abuse or misuse these gifts.
For example, the gift of prophecy, just like any other gift
of the Spirit, has to be used correctly to edify the Church.
It’s unwise to interrupt others just because you have a
word of prophecy. The Bible says “Let all things be done
decently and in order” (1 Corinthians 14:40). Wait for the
appropriate time and opportunity.
Don’t disrupt the worship because you want to
“prophesy.” 1 Corinthians 14:30-31 says, “If any thing be
revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his
peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all
may learn, and all may be comforted.” How instructive!
Every one of us could have the gift of prophecy, and
if we had enough time during a church service, the whole
congregation could prophesy one by one. This is specific
58
about the gift of prophecy. Then, He tells us what this gift of
prophecy is used for: edification, exhortation and comfort.
It’s never used for condemnation.
When spiritual gifts are used correctly, God is glorified
and the Church grows. Apply the gift of prophecy correctly
and you’ll see quantum leaps and unending growth in your
life, ministry and church. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I use the gifts of prophecy rightly and in
accordance with your divine instructions, in an orderly
manner. My words edify, exhort and comfort others,
and the Body of Christ is strengthened, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

DON’T CONSULT MEDIUMS

And when they shall say unto you, Seek

unto them that have familiar spirits,
and unto wizards that peep, and that
mutter: should not a people seek unto
their God? for the living to the dead?
(Isaiah 8:19).

S omeone once asked if it’s okay for Christians to

consult mediums and psychics. That’s absurd!
You have the Holy Spirit; therefore, you don’t need any
of that. Moreover, psychics, soothsayers, diviners or
astrologers can’t tell you the truth about the future, or your
future, because they don’t know it. Only the Holy Spirit
knows the future and the truth about you and your future.
Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” The Holy Spirit
is the Spirit of truth, sent by God to guide you into ALL
truth, and show you the future—things to come: “Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you
into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come” (John 16:13).
Therefore, depend on the Holy Spirit for answers. Trust
60
Him for the guidance and direction you need. Consult with
Him about anything and everything for which you require
accurate guidance. A total lack of understanding of our
opening verse is the reason some are still confused about
whether or not it’s okay to seek mediums. It’s not okay.
When you look at all that God said about wizards, He
often talked about their idea of trying to look into the spirit
world and use mediums that are totally against the Word
and the leading of the Holy Spirit. So, be wise; never pay
attention to such predictions. Consult with, and receive
guidance from the Holy Spirit only, and always.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m grateful for the privilege to be taught
and instructed in and by your Word. Your Word is my
guiding light and the truth from which I draw inferences,
make choices and decisions. I’m led and guided by the
Holy Spirit in all of life’s affairs, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BE EFFECTUAL IN SOUL WINNING

And all things are of God, who hath

reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18).

N ot every Christian is participating actively in the

ministry of reconciliation. It’s not meant to be so.
We’re all expected to be active, and very effectual in soul
winning. The day would come when we all stand before
the Master and every one of us would receive praise of
Him (1 Corinthians 4:5). The Lord is going to reward us
according to our works: “For the Son of man shall come
in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then
he shall reward every man according to his works”
(Matthew 16:27).
As we know, our works aren’t the same; our
commitment is at different levels. But today, I want you to
make an honest assessment of your participation in the
Gospel: if you were to stand before God right now, what
would He say about your works in the propagation of the
Gospel in these end times?
God’s number one passion is soul winning; therefore,
put everything into it. Be active, very active, in the ministry
of reconciliation. 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not
slack concerning his promise, as some men count
62
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance.”
The Lord’s overwhelming passion to reconcile men
to Himself is emphasized in the assignment He gave to
Jesus, buttressed by these words of the Master Himself:
“...I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Take this
seriously. Every day, talk to others about Jesus. Do it in
your neighbourhood, in your estate, and then go beyond.
There’re places you might not be able to get to
physically; you can reach them through partnership and
sponsorship of the distribution of Gospel materials, such
as Rhapsody of Realities. We have the structure and
platforms for such. Contact your local church office or visit
www.reachoutworld.org for more information.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the opportunity to actively
win souls today. The light of your glorious Gospel shines
brightly in the nations, as we proclaim your truth in all
the earth; every resistance is broken, and men’s hearts
are open to receive our message for their salvation.
Satan’s bondage and deception are destroyed, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

DESIRE TO PROPHESY
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that
all may learn, and all may be comforted
(1 Corinthians 14:31).

T o prophesy means to speak words of divine

revelation and potency; words that have and give
life. And through the gift of prophecy, the Body of Christ—
the Church—is edified, strengthened and comforted.
You might be in your closet or in a meeting, and words
in Psalm 23 well up from within you, and then you go,
“Psalm 23 verse 1 says, ‘The LORD is my shepherd, I
shall not want’; therefore, we’re nourished, sustained,
energized, strengthened and prepared for His soon return
through the ministry of the Word! We’re invigorated and
vitalized through and through because He nourishes us.’”
With such words, the church is edified. Hallelujah!
That’s why the Bible says, “Pursue love, and desire
spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy”
(1 Corinthians 14:1 NKJV). Through the gift of prophecy,
we can admonish one another and strengthen one another.
1 Corinthians 14:31 says, “For ye may all prophesy one
by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.”
This isn’t the same thing as everyone being a prophet. He
64
didn’t say we may all desire to be prophets. Rather, it says
that every one of us can, and should desire to prophesy.
If the gift of prophecy will bless and edify the church, it’ll
bless and edify you. You can use the gift of prophecy to take
charge of your life and control things in your “aion.” Acts
2:17 says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days,
saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy….”
Chart your course in perpetual victory and triumph
through the gift of prophecy. Prophesy about the peace
and prosperity of your nation and the nations of the world.
Prophesy about your health, success, prosperity and
victory. Prophesy about your life, and about your future.
Prophesy to your bone, to your body, to your skin, to your
blood, to your finances, job, business, academics, etc.

CONFESSION
I’m nurtured, edified and sustained in the victorious life. I
walk in divine health and prosperity; I walk in the fullness
of the blessings of the Gospel. My life is upward and
forward only, and I’m filled with the knowledge of God’s
will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Amen.

HIS NAME HAS POWER IN
ALL THREE WORLDS
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted
him, and given him a name which is
above every name: That at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth (Philippians 2:9-10).

I f Jesus truly gave us the legal right, that is, the power
of attorney to use His Name, what results should we
expect when we use His Name? What’s so important about
the Name of Jesus? What does His Name represent and
why should we have so much confidence in the Name of
Jesus?
We have the answer in our opening scripture. Notice
the construction; it’s absolute. It says, “At the name of
Jesus every knee should bow”; that’s a sovereign decree,
a law in the realm of the spirit. Hallelujah! This sovereign
decree is in force in heaven, in the earth, and under the
earth (in hell). His Name has power in all three worlds; that
power applies to the “things,” that is, whatever exists in
all three worlds; whether they be thrones, governments,
galaxies, principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of

66
this world or in high places; they’re all subject to His Name.
This is remarkable! It explains why you should never
be flustered by anything in life. It makes no difference
what Satan and his cohorts of hell are concocting; you
can neutralize their efforts and overturn their works in the
Name of Jesus. Recall part of what we read in Philippians
2:9-10: “of things under the earth”; it means beings, things,
or anything that exists in hell.
No wonder, Jesus told us we could: “Heal the sick,
cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils...”
(Matthew 10:8). The reason is that even if a man went
to hell, you could call him back, because the Name of
Jesus Christ has power in heaven, on earth, and in hell.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Thank you, Father, for the glorious results I see when I
use the Name of Jesus. Today, Lord, your righteousness
rules and reigns in the nations; many are healed, lepers
are cleansed, the dead are raised, and there’s a great
harvest of souls into the Kingdom, in the mighty Name
of Jesus. Amen!

YOU’RE A VITAL PART OF THE BODY

Now ye are the body of Christ, and

members in particular
(1 Corinthians 12:27).

T he Church is the Body of Christ, and Jesus is the

head of the Body. Jesus and the Church both make
up one body, which is called Christ; we’re members of the
Body of Christ. The Living Bible translation of our opening
verse helps us understand it a little more. It says, “Now,
here is what I am trying to say: all of you together
are the one body of Christ, and each one of you is a
separate and necessary part of it.”
That means you’re needed in the Body of Christ; you’re
a necessary contributor to the proper growth and edification
of the Church. The Bible says, “… the whole body fitly
joined together and compacted by that which every
joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in
the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body
unto the edifying of itself in love” (Ephesians 4:16).
The Body of Christ advances and makes progress
according to the individual contributions of every Christian.
This is so important. It’s like the physical parts of the
human body and their respective functions. Your liver, legs,
70
kidneys, lungs, heart, thumb, etc., all have their distinct
functions. They all work together to ensure that your body
functions well. Each part is vital for the overall wellbeing
of the body.
If anything goes wrong in any part of your body, it
impacts the whole body. This is also true for the spiritual
Body of Christ. See yourself as a vital member of the Body
of Christ, and make your impact felt. Pray as the Bible says.
Win souls. Walk in humility, faith, hope and love. Produce
fruits and works of righteousness.
Don’t cause the Body to regress through such things
as bitterness, pride, envy and inactivity. Be fervent in
Spirit—serving the Lord. Walk in righteousness and in the
fullness of the Spirit every day. Praise God!

CONFESSION
I’m a vital and an effective member of the Body of Christ.
I walk in righteousness and in the power, glory and grace
that runs from the Head, Christ Jesus, through the entire
Body. Through my effectiveness, the Church is making
progress; my fruits and works of righteousness result
in the increase and edification of the Church, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

THE AUTHORITY AND DOMINION
OF HIS NAME
And what is the exceeding greatness
of his power…Which he wrought in
Christ, when he raised him from the
dead, and set him at his own right hand
in the heavenly places, Far above all
principality, and power, and might,
and dominion, and every name that is
named, not only in this world, but also
in that which is to come
(Ephesians 1:19-21).

In Ephesians 1:17-18, the Spirit, through the Apostle

Paul, prayed a beautiful prayer for God’s people. As
He progressed in the prayer, He showed us something
about who Jesus really is, and expounds on the authority,
power and dominion vested in His Name. Notice that God
raised Jesus from the dead and set Him at His own right
hand. “Right hand” isn’t a description of directional or
geographical location; it implies the seat of power.
When you refer to someone as your right-hand man,
what you mean is that he represents you; he has your
authority to act in your stead. Jesus is in God’s seat.
Where exactly is that? It says, “…in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and
72
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in
this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians
1:20-21). That’s where Jesus is—His position of authority.
Thus, the Name of Jesus Christ is above every power,
every rulership, every government, and every authority.
The Wuest translation gives us a more excellent rendering
of Ephesians 1:21. It tells us that Jesus is “over and
above every government and authority and power
and lordship and every name that is constantly being
named, not only in this age, but also in the one about
to come.”
No wonder the apostles used the Name of Jesus and
ruled the world of their time. This is what Christians around
the world must rediscover today: the power of the Name
of Jesus. Learn to use that Name in all circumstances.

CONFESSION
The Name of Jesus is the Name above all names, and
I use that Name as an instrument today. His Name is
greater than cancer, it replaces maimed limbs, it opens
blind eyes, unstops deaf ears, and raises the dead. In the
Name of Jesus, I declare that I’m more than a conqueror,
a champion forever; eternally fruitful and productive.
Blessed be God!

STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF
APPROVED
Study to shew thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

D aniel made outstanding impact in his day. The

Scripture shows us he was studious. In Daniel 9:2,
he said, “In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood
by books the number of the years, whereof the word
of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he
would accomplish seventy years in the desolations
of Jerusalem.”
Daniel was so studious he gave special attention to
Jeremiah’s prophecy of the seventy years of the captivity.
In Daniel 1:4 (NLT), the Bible shows us the King needed
people who were “...well versed in every branch of
learning...” to pilot the affairs of his kingdom, and Daniel
was found to be eminently qualified.
Daniel was highly esteemed of the Lord. In the
New Testament, Jesus also quoted him (Daniel) and
corroborated his prophecy when He said, “When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet…” (Matthew 24:15).
We find the same quality with Paul the Apostle. Paul
was studious. In 2 Timothy 4:13, we see his attachment to
74
his study materials when he said to Timothy, “The cloke
that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest,
bring with thee, and the books, but especially the
parchments.” He specially requested for his study
materials to be sent to him, because he was a diligent
student.
If Daniel and Paul were studious, why won’t you? You
must study to show yourself approved to God, a workman
that needs not to be ashamed, but rightly dividing the
word of truth. In Hosea 4:6, God said, “My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge….” He was referring
to the knowledge of the Word. Until and unless you know
the Word for yourself, you’re going to be a victim in life.
That’s why God wants you to study. Give yourself to the
Word and your success, progress and prosperity will be
inevitable.

CONFESSION
I’m given to voracious study of the Word of God; therefore,
I heap success upon success, living victoriously, walking
in divine health, and winning every day. Through my
knowledge of the Word of God, I make outstanding
impact for the Lord in my world, bringing many out of
ignorance and dearth of divine realities, into the glorious
liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 “The Infilling Of The Holy Ghost”
For a long time, I tried to speak in tongues but couldn’t. This
persisted until I came across Rhapsody of Realities and read a
teaching on “How To Increase Your Spiritual Vocabulary.” My
heart leapt for joy because I realized I could start speaking in
tongues the same way others could increase their vocabulary. As
instructed in the devotional, I began to listen to the words in my
spirit and thereafter, I bursted out, speaking in tongues!

“Complete Transformation Through
Rhapsody of Realities”
Before now, I had gotten free copies of Rhapsody of Realities
on different occasions, but I never gave the book a second look.
However, a day after my birthday, my younger brother brought
a copy home from school; his teacher must have given it to him.
I read the devotional and it transformed my life. Since then, I’ve
been going through it every month, and I look forward to every
new edition. E. T; Nigeria

“Made Whole Through Faith-filled Confessions”

Sometime ago, I developed a heart problem which caused chest
pains and difficulty in breathing. I made a decision to read
Rhapsody of Realities daily and take all the confessions in it.
As I did, I got miraculously healed; I no longer feel pains in my
chest and I breathe normally. My faith-filled confessions through
Rhapsody of Realities has made me whole. Glory to God!
