WORDS—YOUR MOST
VALUABLE ASSET
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned (Matthew 12:37).

N ot realizing their value and power, many misuse

words. They don’t speak correctly. Speaking
correctly means speaking in consonance with the Word
of God; saying what God has said. Hebrews 13:5-6 says,
“...for he hath said…So that we may boldly say….”
Words are “things”; they’re living; they’re powerful; they’re
creative. Words shape destinies, define realities, and
determine outcomes.
If you want to understand why your life is the way it is,
review your words; listen to yourself. The words you speak
determine your health, your appearance, and even your
future. Your thoughts and words shape not just your life
but even your physical appearance. That’s because words
are thoughts clothed in vocabulary, and every person is a
reflection of their thoughts.
Therefore, if words are an expression of thoughts, then
your words reveal your character. No one can live beyond
the character of their words; your words define you. Have
you seen people who constantly look worried, even when
6
they’re not frowning? Their faces carry the imprint of their
thoughts and words. Their health, their emotions, and even
their physical features are affected by what they’ve been
saying and thinking. That’s because your words are the
forces that mould your life.
When you speak words of faith, victory, power, success
and divine health, your life will align with those words.
Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of
life….” Proverbs 18:21 declares, “Death and life are in
the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall
eat the fruit thereof.” 1 Peter 3:10 takes it to a climax;
it says, “For he that will love life, and see good days,
let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that
they speak no guile.” Speak the right words, for you’re
what you say. What you say is what you get (Mark 11:23).
Praise God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the power of words and the
ability to speak and shape my future in line with your
perfect will. My words are filled with faith, strength and
divine wisdom, bringing health to my body, joy to my
spirit and success to my path. I walk in victory always,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOUR LIFE IS DIFFERENT
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).

M any today have been conditioned to expect

certain ailments or health challenges when they
get to a certain age in life. They’ve been told that between
ages 45 and 50 their bodies will begin to slow down, certain
pains will set in, and at age 60, heart problems may arise.
These conclusions have been drawn from mere human
wisdom and experience, not divine truth.
As a child of God, your life is different; you’re not an
ordinary person. You’re not subject to the limitations and
corrupting influences of this world. Never accept the verdict
from man’s limited knowledge stemming from the wisdom
of this world with respect to your health. Your body is not
subject to the elements of this world and the vagaries of
nature. You’re in Christ and from Christ where divinity rules.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be
in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new." This means
no inherited sickness or weakness, because you’re born
of God, inundated with eternal life. Your identity is not in
your earthly lineage.

 It doesn’t matter what ran in your biological family—
heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.—those
things have no hold on you! You’re a new creation in Christ,
born into a new family—the family of God. If sickness tries
to attach itself to your body, you say, "In the Name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, I rebuke this sickness. I remove it from
my body!"
Your words have power; use them to establish your
divine health. Take charge of your body. Speak in tongues
and charge your spirit and then give the Word concerning
your health. Your body will respond to the Word of God.
You belong to the divine class, full of the life of God! Even
now, say, "I refuse to be sick. I live above age-related or
environment-related conditions. My blood pressure is
normal, my heart is perfect, and all my organs function
perfectly. I walk in divine health and strength all my days,
in Jesus' Name. Amen."

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the reality of my divine nature
in Christ. I refuse to accept the limitations, sicknesses,
and conditions that the world prescribes. My body is
full of life, health and strength. No infirmity can thrive
in me because the Spirit of God quickens my body. I live
victoriously, walking in divine health and supernatural
vitality, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

GOD’S IDEA FOR YOUR PROSPERITY
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).

W hen you align your life with God’s instructions,

for example, in the area of finances, one of the
immediate blessings you’re likely to observe is that your
expenditure keeps getting lower. It’s another facet of God’s
blessing. He doesn’t just bless you by increasing your
income, He also blesses you by reducing your expenditure.
Why is that so?
It’s part of the result of the grace of God at work in
your life; recall what we read in our opening scripture.
Furthermore, He also made provision to keep the devourer
away from you: “...I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your
ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before
the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts" (Malachi
3:11).
The devourer is Satan or whatever he uses to consume
or eat away your resources and your finances. Examples
are damages, repairs and losses leading to high cost
of maintenance. The Bible says, “The blessing of the
LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with
10
it” (Proverbs 10:22).
God won’t bless you and then have you toil, struggle
and spend so much to keep or maintain what He’s given
you. His idea for your prosperity is addition or multiplication
and abundance, not replacements. But you must act on
His Word. He instructs you to bring your tithes, offerings
and oblations and challenges you to prove Him. He says
not only will you receive an abundance, the devourer will
have no access to what belongs to you. In other words,
you won’t have a car that constantly needs repairs. You’ll
suffer no damage or losses requiring costly fixes.
Consider yourself so blessed that everything that
comes to you works perfectly, lasts long and serves
its purpose. Just as you’re God’s excellent handiwork,
fashioned for good works, He has also ordained for your
possessions to last, your resources to be preserved, and
your finances to be supernaturally sustained. This is your
reality in Christ. The key is speaking and doing His Word.

CONFESSION
The devourer has no place in my life, my finances, or my
possessions, because I’m a doer of the Word. I walk in
supernatural prosperity, where my income increases and
my expenditure is divinely reduced. I live in perpetual
abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HIS CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One
to see corruption (Psalm 16:10).

E verything about the Lord Jesus was prophesied

ahead of time: His birth, His life, His death, burial,
resurrection, and His glorious ascension to heaven. No
wonder He said, “… Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God” (Hebrews
10:7). His crucifixion, for example, was prophesied a
thousand years beforehand. The psalmist gave such a
beautiful description of it in Psalm 22 (read the entire
reference).
The Prophet Zachariah also prophesied about His
death in Zechariah 12:10, saying, “…and they shall
look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall
mourn for him….” This prophecy foretold the piercing
of Jesus’ hands and feet, which happened during His
crucifixion.
Furthermore, Psalm 16:10 tells us about His
resurrection, saying, “For thou wilt not leave my soul
in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.” When Jesus died on the Cross, He went to
hell because every sinner who died was supposed to go
to hell, and Jesus bore the sins of the whole world.
However, in hell, He defeated the devil and the demons
of darkness and came triumphantly back to life. Jonah’s
experience also foreshadowed His resurrection. Jonah
1:17 says, “… And Jonah was in the belly of the fish
three days and three nights.” The Lord Jesus referenced
this in Matthew 12:40 NIV, declaring, “For as Jonah was
12
three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,
so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth.”
Psalm 110:1 is prophetic of His exaltation; it says,
“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right
hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” The
Lord Jesus affirmed that this prophecy referred to Himself:
“While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose
son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He
saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call
him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his
son?" (Matthew 22:41-45).
These prophecies and their fulfilment are essential to
understanding the things Jesus said about His death and
resurrection. They authenticate the truth that He’s indeed
the Son of God—God in human flesh—as Romans 1:4
tells us. It says Jesus is declared to be the Son of God
with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I acknowledge the undeniable proof of
your love demonstrated through the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank you for the victory
He wrought for us, and for making us triumphant in Him.
I live in the reality of His finished works, proclaiming His
Lordship and righteousness to the ends of the earth.
Hallelujah!

UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF
HIS MATCHLESS NAME
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, I will do it
(John 14:13-14).

T he Name of Jesus holds unparalleled significance,

so, understanding the power behind His matchless
Name is crucial for every Christian. In Colossians 1:16-
19, the Apostle Paul emphasizes the pre-eminence of
the Lord Jesus: "For by Him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by
Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and
by Him all things consist. And He is the head of the
body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead; that in all things He might have the
preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him
should all fullness dwell."
Observe that it says: All things were created by Him
and for Him—Jesus. This means everything in existence,
whether visible or invisible, whether thrones, dominions,
principalities, or powers, owe their existence to the Lord
Jesus. Also, Ephesians 1:21 (AMPC) unequivocally
14
declares that the Lord Jesus is "Far above all rule and
authority and power and dominion and every name
that is named [above every title that can be conferred],
not only in this age and in this world, but also in the
age and the world which are to come."
Therefore, praying in the Name of Jesus is not a
religious formality; it’s a privilege, an honour beyond
description. His Name is the greatest Name in heaven, on
earth, and under the earth. The Bible tells us in Philippians
2:9-10, "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…."
Using the Name of Jesus in prayer means you have
access to all that He is and all that He has. It means you’re
operating with His authority and divine power. When you
pray in His Name, you’re aligning yourself with the One who
created all things and holds all things together. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the authority of the Name of
Jesus and the privilege to pray in that Name and receive
answers. I’m grateful for the opportunity to use the Name
of Jesus to effect changes and establish your will in the
earth and in men’s lives; I walk in the fullness of this
power and provision, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE LORD—YOUR SUSTAINER
AND PROVIDER
But my God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

A s Christians, when we say Jesus Christ is Lord

of our lives, it means more than He being our
saviour. The Hebrew and Greek words for "Lord" carry the
same meaning, which includes master, caretaker, bread
provider, sustainer, boss, and teacher. This is the essence
of what it means for Jesus to be Lord; it means He’s your
sustainer, your master, your caretaker, your bread provider,
and your teacher.
If this is true, and thank God it is, then it means He’s
more than capable of taking care of you. You don’t have to
beg Him to take care of you or plead with Him to provide
your needs with a sense of desperation as if He’s reluctant
to do so. Such a disposition reflects a lack of understanding
of who Jesus is as your Lord and Sustainer.
Read His words in Matthew 7:11, "If ye then, being
evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
16
give good things to them that ask him?" Ponder this
for a moment. You have to learn to trust the Lord and rely
solely on His Word. Act on His Word. The world’s systems
are failing.
In the days of Joseph, the Bible records that money
failed. Inflation was rampant and the currency became
worthless. But in the midst of that crisis, God’s people
experienced supernatural prosperity. Why? Their trust was
in the Lord, their sustainer.
The Lord Jesus is more than able to sustain you
through every season of life. Read Matthew 6:25-34 where
He stresses your value and then tells you what to do and
what not to do. So, act on His Word today. The triumphant
life is for those who act on God’s Word.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for being my Lord and Sustainer.
I refuse to be anxious about anything because you are
my caretaker, provider, teacher, source and sustainer. My
trust is in you, and I function in supernatural prosperity
as I live by your Word, in victory every day, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.

THE POWER OF GIVING

There was a certain man in Caesarea

called Cornelius, a centurion of the
band called the Italian band, A devout
man, and one that feared God with all
his house, which gave much alms to the
people, and prayed to God alway
(Acts 10:1-2).

G od is plainly against selfishness. Conversely, He’ll

seize any opportunity to save, bless, and uplift a
giver. Notice the word "save"; even non-Christians who are
givers—who are liberal and generous—get God's attention,
and He seeks to save them. If He can find someone to
pray for them, He will exercise His legal right to act and
guide them into salvation.
The story of Cornelius in Acts 10 beautifully illustrates
this truth. Cornelius was a Roman centurion, a Gentile and
not part of the Jewish community. Yet, he was a devout
man who feared God and was known for his generosity.
He gave alms to the people and prayed continually.
His giving and prayers did not go unnoticed; they
ascended as a memorial before God. As a result of his
generosity, God sent an angel to Cornelius with a divine
instruction to send for Peter who would bring him the
message of salvation. Think about it; an angel appeared
18
to Cornelius because of his giving!
God orchestrated an entire salvation plan for Cornelius,
his family, and his household because of his generosity. As
Peter preached about Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit fell upon
everyone present. They began speaking in tongues and
praising God. This moment was a pivotal point in the Early
Church, highlighting the universal vision of the Gospel.
God despises stinginess; it is contrary to His nature
and reflects the nature of the devil. So, every time God
looks at a stingy person, He sees the enemy. But when
He sees a giver, He sees something of Himself in that
person and He's drawn to that one in love. 2 Corinthians
9:7 AMPC says, “...God loves (He takes pleasure in,
prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon
or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "prompt to do
it") giver [whose heart is in his giving].” Let this be
your description and your experience of God's love will
be overwhelming.
CONFESSION
I’m a cheerful giver, and through my giving, I position
myself in alignment with God’s divine purpose,
experiencing His abundant grace. I function in
supernatural blessings, favours and increase. Thank
you Lord for making me a channel of blessings to my
world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

A CUE FROM DAVID
Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us
(Romans 8:37).

1 Samuel 17 tells us how the Israelites were embroiled

in conflict with the Philistines, a prominent enemy
nation. The Philistines had gathered a formidable army and
their champion, Goliath, stood defiantly, challenging the
Israelites to send out a warrior to face him in single combat.
For forty days, Goliath taunted and mocked the
Israelite soldiers. The Israelite army found themselves
petrified by dread at the thought of confronting Goliath. But
in the midst of this dire situation, young David, a stripling,
not qualified to be in the army, arrived at the front lines and
heard Goliath’s taunts echoing in the valley.
Incensed by the giant’s defiance against Israel and
its God, David began to inquire about the situation and
what would be done for the man who killed the Philistine
champion. However, David’s inquiries were met with
scepticism from his oldest brother, Eliab, who questioned
his motives. “Why did you come down here?” Eliab
demanded. His words dripped with contempt, suggesting
that David was merely a shepherd and naive for thinking
he could challenge Goliath.
Undeterred by Eliab’s reproach, David continued to
make inquiries until he was brought before King Saul.
There, he confidently recounted his experiences as a
shepherd: "...I've been a shepherd, tending sheep for
my father. Whenever a lion or bear came and took a
20
lamb from the flock, I'd go after it, knock it down, and
rescue the lamb. If it turned on me, I'd grab it by the
throat, wring its neck, and kill it. Lion or bear, it made
no difference--I killed it. And I'll do the same to this
Philistine pig who is taunting the troops of God-Alive"
(1 Samuel 17:34-36 MSG).
What a response David gave! David didn’t argue with
Eliab or try to prove himself. Instead, he calmly shared his
testimony of God’s faithfulness. By doing so, he shifted
the focus from his brother’s cynicism to God’s power
working through him. Of course, David defeated Goliath,
decapitated him, and walked through the streets holding
the giant’s head.
Summarily, no one dared to challenge him anymore.
His victory spoke louder than any words ever could. Always
remember David’s example when doubters and detractors
try to talk you down. Stay focused on your calling and your
assignment. Trust in God’s grace and ability at work in you,
and your victories will silence your hecklers.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and boldness
you’ve given me. I refuse to be intimidated by opposition
or the voices of doubt and unbelief, for the greater One
lives in me. I take on challenges with the assurance of
victory, for you have made me more than a conqueror.
My success and exploits silence every opposition, and
through me, your glory is revealed, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

THE POWER OF PROTAGONISM

He first findeth his own brother Simon,

and saith unto him, We have found the
Messias, which is, being interpreted, the
Christ. And he brought him to Jesus...
(John 1:41-42).

In the work of advancing God’s Kingdom, protagonists

are needed, and we see that there were such
individuals in the Bible, particularly in the Gospel of John.
These were not just passive followers of Jesus Christ but
active promoters of His ministry. Their actions demonstrate
a special kind of work—protagonism at its finest.
For example, in John 1:40-42, we see Andrew, one of
John the Baptist’s disciples who left everything to follow
Jesus. Andrew didn’t keep this newfound revelation to
himself. He immediately found his brother, Simon (Peter),
and declared to him, “We have found the Messiah!” He
then brought Peter to Jesus.
Andrew’s actions show the heart of a true protagonist—
someone who advances and promotes the ministry of
Jesus by enlisting others to join His cause and carry out
His work. The next day, Jesus called Philip to follow Him.
Philip, like Andrew, didn’t keep the Good News to himself.
He found Nathanael and said, “...We have found him, of
whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” (John 1:45).
22
 Nathanael, sceptical at first, questioned, “Can any
good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip’s response was
simple, yet powerful; he said to Nathanael, “Come and see”
(John 1:45-46). This is the power of protagonism. Andrew
and Philip didn’t just follow Jesus, they actively brought
others to Him. They connected fellow Jews and devout
men who already believed in God to the Messiah’s cause.
Similarly, in advancing God’s Kingdom today, we need
a massive army of God’s people who are committed,
passionate and unrelenting in their dedication to the
Gospel. We’re completing the full preaching of the Gospel
this year 2025. Be a protagonist of this mandate! Enlist
and encourage others to join this cause as we fulfil the
Great Commission.
It’s imperative for us to recognize that to effect a
change in the world, we require a united army of Christians,
each playing their part in advancing the Kingdom of God,
especially as the Lord’s return is imminent.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me a protagonist in
the advancement of your Kingdom. Through me, many
are brought into the Kingdom and enlisted into your great
army, fulfilling your divine purpose and changing lives
everywhere. I walk in the wisdom and power of the Spirit,
continually spreading the influence of the Kingdom, in
Jesus' Name. Amen.

OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH DIVINITY

For he is our peace, who hath made both

one, and hath broken down the middle
wall of partition between us
(Ephesians 2:14).

A ngels, as far as we know, will live forever. But the

life they have isn’t eternal life. They don’t have the
organic and existential attributes of deity. That’s why they
can’t have real fellowship with God. Only the new creations
in Christ, are called into fellowship with divinity: “God is
faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship
of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9).
Do you see why we’re different from angels? We were
brought into fellowship with Jesus Christ. We’ve become
associates or sharers of His life, glory and nature. In fact,
the Bible tells us He brought us into such a relationship
that made us joint heirs with Him (Romans 8:17). What a
blessed reality!
There's something about this fellowship that’s
extraordinary. It’s deeper than being brought into God's
class or being made friends with God; it’s the most
significant aspect of our fellowship with Him and we find
it in John 14:10. There, the Lord Jesus was speaking to
Philip, one of His disciples, and said, “Believest thou
24
not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the
words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”
If you understand this scripture, everything about your
life is settled. Who was Jesus referring to when He said,
“The Father that dwelleth in me”? He was referring to the
Holy Spirit. That’s the same Holy Spirit that lives in you
today; He’s the Father that dwells in you. 1 Corinthians 3:16
says, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” Now you can
understand why the Bible says, “…truly our fellowship
is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ” (1
John 1:3). Our fellowship, our oneness with divinity is the
biggest thing about Christianity. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace, your love, and
the fellowship of the Holy Spirit that I enjoy. Thank you
for making me inseparably one with you and a partaker of
the divine nature. I’m completely yielded to the Holy Spirit
who dwells in me and orchestrates the circumstances
of my life to synchronize with your perfect will. I walk in
the consciousness of my oneness with you, today and
always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOUR ROLE IN BUILDING HIS CHURCH
For we are members of His body, of His
flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30).

W e’re the body of Christ. We’re members of His

body, of His flesh, and of His bones. We’re
intimately connected to Him and to one another. In 1
Corinthians 12:26-27, Paul further explains this unity: “And
whether one member suffer, all the members suffer
with it; or one member be honoured, all the members
rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and
members in particular.”
This means that every Christian has a specific role
and function within the body of Christ. When one part of
the body is affected, the entire body feels it. We’re not
isolated individuals but interconnected members of the
same body—Christ’s body. Ephesians 1:22-23 reveals the
power and authority given to the Church: “And hath put
all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head
over all things to the church, which is His body….”
The Church, being the body of Christ, carries His
authority and power on earth. Ephesians 4:11-12 gives us
an insight into how He builds His Church today: “And He
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,
26
for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
The word “edifying” means “building”; it’s the same
word the Lord Jesus used when He said, “…I will build
my church…” (Matthew 16:18). Through the fivefold
ministry offices and the work of every Christian, He builds
His Church. The whole body grows by that which every
joint supplies: “From him the whole body…grows and
builds itself up in love, as each part does its work”
(Ephesians 4:16 NIV).
Every time a soul is won, it’s like adding another block
to the building. Those who minister are like builders, placing
each block in its proper place. Each Christian is a specific
member of the body—the building. Together, we’re building
a magnificent structure, the body of Christ. As we continue
to win souls and grow, the Church becomes more beautiful
and impactful, reflecting the glory of Christ. This isn’t a
task for a select few but for every Christian. Each of us
has a role to play, and together, we’re building something
extraordinary for God’s glory.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I understand my role and actively participate
in building your Church. I’m graced to win souls and
strengthened to fulfil my calling. I declare that your
Church shines as a beacon of hope and power in the
world, as it is a praise in the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ACKNOWLEDGE AND DECLARE
THE TRUTH
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in
us (Ephesians 3:20).

A re you aware that there’s power at work in you?

Yes, you have eternal life in you, and that life
gives you power over sickness, disease and infirmities.
You have power to cast out devils, heal sicknesses and
cure diseases. You’ve been empowered to live in victory
and unending prosperity. This power in you is activated
by acknowledgement and declaration. If you don't
acknowledge it, it can't work.
Sometimes, in a bid to sound humble, some people
deny what they have. If, maybe, you said to them, “Oh, you
really have power,” their typical response would be, “I don't
have any power; only Jesus has power.” But they're wrong.
The same Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto
you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by
any means hurt you.”
Don’t deny what He gave you simply because you
think you’re being humble. Acknowledge and affirm that
Jesus gave you power to do the impossible—power over
all things. Think about it: He gave us the Holy Spirit to live
28 Subscribe to the Rhapsody of Realities app, available
on rhapsodyofrealities.org, Apple App Store, and Google Play
in us. What do you think He’s doing inside you? Who is
the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the power of God. Acts
1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you….” That means when
you received the Holy Spirit, you received power.
Observe how Jesus spoke. He said, “For as the
Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son
to have life in himself” (John 5:26). Some people must
have thought He was too proud for saying that, but He was
declaring truth. Doesn’t the Bible say, “…as he is, so are
we in this world” (1 John 4:17)?
Acknowledge and declare that you’re full of power.
Let it be in the consciousness of your daily language. Like
Prophet Micah, declare, “But truly I am full of power by
the spirit of the LORD…” (Micah 3:8). That's how you
activate spiritual power. Talking this way will kill any tumour
or disease that tries to rear its ugly head in your body.

CONFESSION
I’m full of power by the Spirit of the Lord and can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me. I walk
in divine health, unending prosperity, and supernatural
strength. I’m triumphant over every adversity because I
function in the authority and dominion of Christ, in whom
I live and move and have my being. Amen.

STAND FIRM—REFUSE
TO COMPROMISE
When thou passest through the waters, I
will be with thee; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee: when thou
walkest through the fire, thou shalt not
be burned; neither shall the flame kindle
upon thee (Isaiah 43:2).

Y ou may find yourself buffeted by pressures and

persecutions on every side for the sake of the
Gospel; don’t despair. What you’re doing has a future.
Your labour in the Lord is not in vain; it is purposeful and
eternal. God never promised that everything would be
smooth or without challenges. He told us there would be
difficulties, trials and adversaries. But in the midst of them
all, He assured us of His presence and victory.
Recall what we read in our opening scripture; He
didn’t say there would be no tempest or fire. The promise
is not the absence of challenges but the assurance of His
presence and protection for you in the midst of adversities.
It helps you understand the reason He says, “Count it all
joy when you go through diverse tests” (James 1:2).
The Bible tells us in Daniel 3 about Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego, three young men who stood firm
in their faith despite fierce opposition. Their story is often
remembered for the fiery furnace and their miraculous
deliverance, but there’s more to it. Before they were thrown
30
into the flames, they faced condemnation, rejection and
false accusations. They endured hatred and opposition
simply because they refused to compromise their faith.
2 Corinthians 4:17 says, "For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory." So, there’re
things you’ll have to face, go through, stand against and
confront for you to live the godly life that the Lord has
given you. There may be adversaries on every side, but
in the midst of them all, you’re more than a conqueror. 2
Timothy 3:12 says, “Yea, and all that will live godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world
(1 John 4:4). He assures in Matthew 28:20 (NIV), "...And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Set your eyes on the future and on His glory. Refuse to be
distracted by the temporary challenges. Be confident that
no matter what, His Word will prevail in your life and His
glory will always be revealed in and through you.
CONFESSION
I stand firm in faith, irrespective of the challenges or
oppositions, because the greater One lives in me.
God's Word puts me over every trial, and I walk in
perpetual victory. Thank you Lord for your presence,
your protection, and your Word that never fails, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

THE POWER OF VISION
AND IMAGINATION
And Jacob took him rods of green
poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut
tree; and pilled white strakes in them,
and made the white appear which was
in the rods (Genesis 30:37).

J acob’s story in Genesis 30 and 31 is a fascinating

demonstration of the power of vision and imagination.
When Jacob agreed to work for Laban, he was promised
cattle as wages. However, Laban repeatedly changed
the terms and cheated Jacob. But Jacob, through divine
wisdom and creative strategy, turned the situation around.
Jacob took rods from green poplar, hazel, and chestnut
trees, and peeled white streaks on them to make the white
appear. He placed these rods in the watering troughs
where the flocks came to drink. As the animals mated in
front of the rods, they produced offspring that were exactly
what Jacob desired. Later, Jacob no longer needed the
rods. He separated the young, spotted, and speckled
animals and set them before the stronger cattle. By doing
this, he created a vision for the flocks and they produced
according to what they saw.
Jacob’s method was a demonstration of the creative
power of vision. He used his imaginative ability to influence
the outcome. When the stronger cattle conceived, Jacob
32
placed the rods before their eyes, ensuring they produced
strong, desirable offspring. When the cattle were feeble,
he did not use the rods, so the weaker ones belonged to
Laban.
Over time, Jacob’s flocks grew stronger and more
abundant, while Laban’s remained feeble. Jacob’s success
was by divine revelation. In a dream, he saw the rams
leaping on the cattle as ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
An angel confirmed this vision, saying, “‘...Lift your eyes
now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks
are streaked, speckled, and gray spotted…" (Genesis
31:12 NKJV).
How important this is! You have the ability to create
the future you desire by focusing on what you want to see.
Create the vision that you want with your mind. Through
the Word and power of the Holy Spirit at work in you, you
can create or shape your physical reality. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me the ability to see and
create my desired future through the power of vision and
by your Word. As I use my imaginative ability, inspired
by your Spirit, I construct my life in alignment with your
divine purpose, with victories and expansion in every
area. I’m empowered to impact my world and fulfil my
destiny, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

VISION AND STRATEGY
And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I
have given into thine hand Jericho, and
the king thereof, and the mighty men of
valour (Joshua 6:2).

I n our previous study, we emphasized the importance

of seeing and creating the future you desire through
the power of vision. Today, we take it a step further by
understanding the necessity of having a strategy. Many
of God’s children, though able to visualize, lack the vital
element of strategy.
Joshua 6 provides a remarkable example of how vision
and strategy work together to produce divine results. God
said to Joshua, “See, I have given into thine hand Jericho.”
The battle had not yet begun, but God declared the victory.
Joshua had to see it first—this is the power of vision, seeing
what God has already given you and acting accordingly.
However, vision alone is not enough. God gave Joshua
the vision, but Joshua needed a strategy to take the city.
The divine strategy was for him and the children of Israel
to march around Jericho for seven days. Joshua had to
34
follow the strategy to bring the vision to pass. In the same
way, when God gives you a vision, He also gives you the
strategy to accomplish it. Be sure to employ that strategy.
Life is a construction, not an accident. If life were an
accident, it would be chaotic. Many people live in chaos
because they have not structured their lives with purpose
and vision. They drift from one event to another, relying
on luck or chance. But a successful life or any successful
endeavour is built on a solid foundation through vision,
strategy, principles and means.
It makes no difference what your endeavour is; function
from where God has positioned you and use the tools
He has given you—vision, strategy, and faith—to build
something extraordinary.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the ability to see and
construct my life according to your divine vision. I walk
in wisdom, guided by your Spirit, implementing the right
strategies to fulfil your purpose for my life. My steps are
ordered, and my success is inevitable, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

GOD’S SPIRIT IS GOD’S ANSWER
And when they had prayed, the place
was shaken where they were assembled
together; and they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of
God with boldness (Acts 4:31).

O ften, we say God’s Spirit is God’s answer and

many don’t understand it. When we pray, God
answers, and His answer is the Spirit. For example, in Acts
chapter 4, following the healing of the lame man in chapter
3, the Jewish leaders were enraged against the apostles.
They commanded Peter and John not to preach or teach
in the Name of Jesus.
But the apostles stood their ground, declaring, "For
we cannot but speak the things which we have seen
and heard" (Acts 4:20). After further threats, the authorities
found no basis to punish them and let them go. The Bible
says in Acts 4:23, "And being let go, they went to their
own company...." By this time, many had already received
salvation, and the Christians gathered together in unity.
When they heard what had happened, they lifted
their voices in prayer to God. Their prayer was fervent.
They acknowledged God’s sovereignty and asked, "And
now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto
thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak
thy word" (Acts 4:29). God’s response was beyond their
36
expectations. Our opening verse says, "And when they
had prayed, the place was shaken where they were
assembled together; and they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with
boldness."
God’s answer was the Spirit! He filled them with the
Spirit and the result was them speaking the Word with
boldness, healing the sick and casting out devils. In verse
33, we’re specifically told, "And with great power gave the
apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:
and great grace was upon them all." Blessed be God!
The disciples prayed for boldness and God filled them
with His Spirit. The answer wasn’t just a change in their
situation but the impartation of the Spirit who enabled
them to proclaim the Word with great power. This is what
happens every time we pray; the Spirit is the answer. He
fills us, strengthens us and empowers us to accomplish
His will. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I’m filled with the Spirit, empowered to speak the
Word with boldness and to manifest the glory of God
everywhere. I walk in the consciousness of God’s
divine presence, knowing that through the Spirit, I have
everything I need to fulfil my purpose, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

HIS PRESENCE AND SUPPORT

...and lo, I am with you always, even to

the end of the age. Amen
(Matthew 28:20 NKJV).

P revailing faith is the result of your consciousness

that God is in you, with you and for you, and has
lavished His love upon you. This knowledge makes you
invincible; it gives the giant-killer mentality. You just know
that in life, come what may, you’re a victor forever; you’re
more than a conqueror because the greater One lives in
you.
This mindset was what set David apart in his day
when he confronted Goliath. David heard the same threats
from Goliath as the entire Israelite army, but he focused
on the fact that he was circumcised and Goliath wasn’t.
Circumcision was the sign of the covenant between God
and Abraham. If you were part of that covenant, it meant
you were connected to God. If you weren’t circumcised,
you had no power against those who were.
David’s confidence came from this understanding. He
said, "…who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he
should defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Samuel
17:26 NKJV). To David, Goliath was no match because
Israel was connected to the God of Abraham. This is a
powerful lesson for us as God’s children. We’re not ordinary
people.
Anyone who’s against us is ultimately against God.
This might sound overwhelming, but it’s the truth. Jesus
38
emphasized this in Acts 9:4 when Saul was persecuting
the Church. The Lord said to him, “…Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me?” Then in our opening verse, we
read where He said, “...and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age. Amen" (Matthew 28:20
NKJV). When He said this, He meant you have my
presence, and you have my support.
How could you be defeated when you have His
presence and His support? To have His support means
you’re backed by all the arsenal and resources of heaven.
His entire wealth, all His glory and power, and His angels
are available to you. This assurance is not just a comforting
thought but a reality that empowers us to live boldly for
Him and in defence of the Gospel. With His presence and
support, you’re unstoppable.
Just as David stood confidently against Goliath,
knowing he was backed by the living God, you too can
stand firm in the knowledge that God isn’t only with you,
He’s in you by His Spirit, in His fullness. Therefore, no
adversary or adversity can prevail against you because
you’re connected to Him. Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your indwelling presence
and your power at work in me. Nothing can stand against
me successfully, for your glory, and all the resources
of heaven are available to me as I walk in the path and
destiny that you’ve created for me. Thank you for my
inextricable oneness with you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

THROUGH HIM, WE ALWAYS PREVAIL

And Asa cried unto the LORD his God,

and said…help us, O LORD our God; for
we rest on thee, and in thy name we go
against this multitude. O LORD, thou art
our God; let not man prevail against thee
(2 Chronicles 14:11).

T here’s a remarkable story of war in the days of Asa,

king of Judah. The Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles
14:9 that Zerah the Ethiopian came against Judah with an
army of a million men and three hundred chariots. That
was an overwhelming force. But Asa didn’t cower in fear;
instead, he went out to face them, setting the battle in array
in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Then Asa did something inspiring; he cried unto the
Lord his God for help! Though vastly outnumbered, he
knew he needed a miracle, and his trust was in the Lord.
He recognized that numbers meant nothing to God. His
confidence was in the Name of the Lord. He said, "...in thy
name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art
our God; let not man prevail against thee" (2 Chronicles
14:11). What an audacity of faith!
Asa understood that life is controlled from the spiritual
realm, so, he looked beyond the physical advantage of the
enemy and saw the Lord as his help. This is the mindset
40
you must have at all times. No matter the opposition, the
power, influence or wickedness of the adversary; greater is
He that is in you than Satan and his cohorts put together.
They may appear formidable, but they are weak, and
you’re strong. Their words are empty, but yours are full of
divine authority.
The result of Asa’s prayer was extraordinary. The
Bible says, "...the LORD smote the Ethiopians before
Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled" (2
Chronicles 14:12). They fled despite their overwhelming
numbers, and Asa and his men pursued them all the way
to Gerar, utterly overthrowing them.
The Bible says they could not recover themselves
because they were destroyed before the Lord and His host.
Asa and the people of Judah carried away great spoils (2
Chronicles 14:13). The victory was total; read 2 Chronicles
14:14-15. The fear of the Lord fell upon their enemies, and
Judah prospered. Our God is great. So, when you face
challenges, don’t be moved. Focus on Him. He is your help,
and through Him, you always prevail. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, you’re my strength and my victory. I stand
firm in faith, declaring your Word, knowing that all power
belongs to you. Thank you for always causing me to
triumph in Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

WE WERE BORN RIGHTEOUS
AND HOLY
And that ye put on the new man, which
after God is created in righteousness and
true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).

F or far too long, many in the Church have had

the wrong idea about the doctrine of holiness
and righteousness. They believe no one is holy or can
live holy, whereas everything we are, according to the
Bible, is holiness. Being born again, we were created in
righteousness and true holiness. That’s what we read in
our opening verse. You’re holy and you’re righteous.
The doctrine of holiness in the Bible, from the Old
Testament to the New Testament, has nothing to do with
what you do; rather, it all has to do with who you are and
where you are. Only a holy man can live holy; you can’t
practice holiness to become holy; if you could, then you’d
never have needed Jesus.
It’s the same with righteousness. You’d have to first
be righteous to live a righteous life. That’s why at the
New Birth, God imparts His nature of righteousness into
a man’s spirit. Righteousness is a nature, and right-living
is the result of that nature. A dog barks because it’s a dog.
Likewise, a sinner cannot live a righteous life, because
he’s a sinner; that’s his nature.
To live a righteous life, you’d have to be made the
42
righteousness of God, and that happened when you
were born again. 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.”
Therefore, righteousness is not something you attain.
People struggle to become righteous because they lack
accurate knowledge of God’s Word.
Righteousness, according to Romans 5:17, is the
gift of God; it’s a nature—that nature or life of God that
gives you, and produces in you, the ability to do right.
Hallelujah! Until you understand this, you’ll struggle in your
Christian walk. It’s part of the reason we say Christianity
is not a religion. In the religions of the world, they “try” to
be holy; and “struggle” to be righteous. But in Christianity,
righteousness and holiness are our inherent nature. We
were born righteous and holy, to live holy and righteous.
Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
Righteousness and holiness are my inherent nature,
producing in me the ability to do right and live in alignment
with God's perfect will. I walk in the consciousness of
my righteousness; I reign and rule over Satan, demons
and circumstances. Thank you Father, for this glorious
life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE PROFUNDITY OF HIS AUTHORITY
And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues
(Mark 16:17).

H ow wonderful this is; the Lord Jesus gave us

authority over all devils. He also gave us the power
of attorney, the legal right, to use His Name, to act in His
behalf. In other words, even if you gave your life to Christ
just this morning, you have the legal right, the authority to
cast out devils in the Name of Jesus.
Notice again the words of the Master, “And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall
they cast out devils...” (Mark 16:17). It’s the first thing He
said we could do in His Name. And He didn’t say it was for
some select few, like the evangelists, prophets and pastors
only, no; it’s everyone who believes. You can act on that
Word right now and have results.
An important question to ask would be, how much
power do you wield when you’re given the power of
attorney? How much force can you exercise? How much
authority do you really have? It depends on the one who
gave you that power of attorney; how much power does
Jesus have? In Matthew 28:18, Jesus said, “…All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”
This is extraordinary! He didn’t say “Some power is
given unto me”; rather, He said ALL power! Then, the most
44
awe-inspiring part is that He said, “…in heaven and in
earth” (Matthew 28:18). This means every angel is subject
to Jesus. Every demon is subject to Jesus. Everything in
life, living and nonliving—systems, structures, processes,
kingdoms, thrones, governments, etc.—are subject to the
authority of Jesus.
The Apostle Paul very succinctly describes the
profundity of Christ’s authority and His delegated power to
the Church in Ephesians 1:20-23 MSG. It says, “All this
energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death
and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge
of running the universe, everything from galaxies to
governments, no name and no power exempt from his
rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He
is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything.
At the center of all this, Christ rules the church.
The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world;
the world is peripheral to the church. The church is
Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which
he fills everything with his presence.” Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the power of
attorney to use the Name of Jesus and to act in His stead.
I exercise this authority today over all demons, forces
of darkness, circumstances, systems and structures of
this world. I declare that all things are subject to me as I
function from a place of dominion and victory in Christ,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BE HEAVEN-CONSCIOUS
But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an
innumerable company of angels, To
the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, which are written in heaven…
(Hebrews 12:22-23).

Iremember an old song we sang back in the day,

“There’s no night there, there’s no night there,
hallelujah! There’s no night there! For Jesus is the Light in
the heavenly city bright, hallelujah, there’s no night there!”
When we sang that song years ago, we were thinking about
heaven, and that’s important because the Bible says, “…
every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure” (1 John 3:3).
You’ve got to think about heaven; otherwise, everything
you’re doing in the world is worthless. But we already
belong in that city, which the old songwriter referred to as
the “heavenly city bright”; it’s called Zion, the city of the
great King. We’re citizens of that bright heavenly city. The
night refers to the darkness, but we’re children of the day.
Being born of God, you were born into the everlasting day;
no more night in your life. Glory to God!
The Bible says, “…the path of the just is as the
46
shining light, that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). The darkness is gone. The
light has come. Darkness refers to everything sinister, evil,
depraved, and of Satan. But light refers to God and all that’s
good and the divine provisions of Christ in His Gospel.
No wonder the Bible says, “Ye are all the children
of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness” (1 Thessalonians 5:5). Let these
thoughts fill your heart as you anticipate the Lord’s soon
return. Be excited. Be expectant. And as the Scripture says,
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on
the earth” (Colossians 3:2).
But you know, to be truly heaven-conscious, and to be
of heaven’s use and a blessing to the world, you have to
preach the Gospel. Therefore, always share Christ’s love
with others and tell them about this bright heavenly city
into which everyone who confesses and receives Jesus
as Lord is born—the city of everlasting light.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me a citizen of the
heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. My heart
is set on things above, and I walk daily in the light of your
Word. I live with the consciousness of heaven, radiating
your glory and leading many into this everlasting city of
light. Thank you for the hope of your return, which keeps
me focused on my divine purpose, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

IT MATTERS TO GOD
And thou shalt make holy garments
for Aaron thy brother for glory and for
beauty (Exodus 28:2).

T he Lord is wonderful; everything about Him drips

glory, beauty, splendour, excellence, and imperial
majesty. Consider the instruction He gave to Moses
concerning Aaron’s garments—what the priest should
wear to minister to Him—special garments for glory and
for beauty. He didn’t want Aaron appearing before Him in
tatters or like an ordinary man. He had to be excellently
dressed.
Even those to make the garments had to be filled
with the Spirit of wisdom; they had to be anointed: “And
thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom
I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may
make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may
minister unto me in the priest's office” (Exodus 28:3).
This tells us something about God: He cares about how
you dress and what you wear. He also cares about who
the “designers” or tailors of your outfits are.
As a Christian, you can’t just wear anything designed
by just anyone. You might ask, “Does it really matter?” It
sure does! It matters to God. Read again what He said to
Moses about those to make the priest’s garment. You’re
a priest; Revelation 1:6 says He has “…made us kings
48 To keep getting Rhapsody of Realities, order on
www.rhapsodyofrealities.org or call +44 (0)1708 556 604
and priests unto God and his Father….” So, ensure your
tailors or designers aren’t those with antichrist tendencies
who hate the Church. This is important if you must continue
to patronize them. Read again what God said, “And
thou shall make holy garments for Aaron...” (Exodus
28:2). What does He mean by holy garments? It means
consecrated garments. And it’ll take only those who are
consecrated to produce something that’s consecrated.
Take this seriously; always dress decently and
excellently, knowing that you represent God and His
Kingdom. You may say, “It’s the spirit that matters; I can
wear what I like on my body.” Your body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit; remember that. Yes, it’s the spirit that
matters, but the spirit is clothed! Therefore, dress well.
Dress neatly. Dressing decently doesn’t mean you must
wear expensive things, for it doesn’t have to be expensive
to be good, and that’s a fact.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the excellence and glory
you’ve bestowed upon me as your priest and king. I walk
in your wisdom, dressing in a manner that reflects your
decency. I yield myself to the Holy Spirit, ensuring that
every detail of my life, including my appearance, brings
honour to you. I manifest your beauty and excellence in
all that I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A SPECIAL RIGHTEOUSNESS
FROM GOD
But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is
by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon
all them that believe… (Romans 3:21-22).

H ebrews 9:11-15 tells us something remarkable

about our Lord Jesus Christ. In verses thirteen
to fourteen, it contradistinguishes between the blood of
animals that were killed for the atonement of sins in the
Old Testament and the blood of Jesus Christ. It says,
“For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes
of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood
of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:13-14).
It continues in the 15th verse, “And for this cause he
is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means
of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that
were under the first testament, they which are called
might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." In
other words, for all the errors that were committed under
the Old Testament, the blood of Jesus was also for their
purification. Even though bulls and goats were slain for
them year after year, it covered but didn’t take away
their sins. But the blood of Jesus washed away all sins.
Hallelujah!
No wonder Paul says in Romans 3:21-22 that a
50
righteousness from God has been revealed. This new and
special kind of righteousness is given in Christ. Not even
Abraham had this special righteousness, even though
righteousness was imputed to him. The Bible says, “For
what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and
it was counted unto him for righteousness” (Romans
4:3).
The righteousness that we have been given in Christ
Jesus is much more. Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore being
justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ.” What does it mean to be justified? It
means to be declared not guilty. This is much more than
being forgiven or our sins being wiped away. Rather, it
means we never sinned. We couldn’t be charged with sin
because of what Jesus accomplished for us.
The Bible says it was just (righteous) for God to do this:
“To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that
he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth
in Jesus” (Romans 3:26). This special righteousness from
God is by the faith of Jesus Christ; it’s the result of His
death, burial, and resurrection. And according to Romans
3:22, it’s for everyone and upon everyone who believes in
His finished works. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for granting me the righteousness
which is by the faith of Jesus Christ. I rejoice in the
glorious truth that I am justified, not by my works, but
by your grace. I walk in the reality of this righteousness,
free from condemnation, and fully conscious of my divine
nature in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

OUR JUSTIFICATION

But for us also, to whom it shall be

imputed, if we believe on him that raised
up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who
was delivered for our offences, and
was raised again for our justification
(Romans 4:24-25).

D id you know that when Jesus was raised from

the dead, you were raised together with Him?
He wasn’t raised alone. We were in Him. Ephesians 2:5-6
says God “…quickened us together with Christ…and
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together
in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
Notice that it says "God quickened us together with
Christ”; that means we came alive with Christ. Just as we
were in Him in His death on the Cross and when He was
buried, we were also in Him when He was raised back to
life. When He was raised back to life, He was born again;
He was a new man.
We, therefore, being raised together with Him, came
alive as new creations in Christ Jesus: “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”
52
(Romans 6:4). You’re not the man that was condemned in
sin; you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus.
Now you can understand why you’re justified by faith;
why you’re declared not guilty. It’s not because Jesus
died for you; that’s the legal aspect of justification. Our
justification didn’t come because He died for us. His death
for us was enough to set us free, but that’s not justification.
Justification is about acquittal; you’re acquitted because
you’re a new creature, without a past.
Therefore, our justification is the result of the life of
Christ in us. That’s the life of the new creation; it’s without
sin. It also helps you understand why the Bible says you’re
to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4), putting on the new
man, which after God is created in righteousness and true
holiness (Ephesians 4:24).

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for my justification in Christ
Jesus. I live in the consciousness of my righteousness,
free from guilt and condemnation. Being raised together
with Christ, I reign in life as a new creation, unblemished
and irreproachable in your sight. Your life in me is my
confidence and assurance of a victorious, glorious and
righteous walk, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOU’RE A RECONCILER

It was God [personally present] in Christ,

reconciling and restoring the world to
favor with Himself, not counting up and
holding against [men] their trespasses
[but cancelling them], and committing
to us the message of reconciliation (of
the restoration to favor)
(2 Corinthians 5:19 AMPC).

I n Luke 19:10, the Lord Jesus said, “For the Son

of man is come to seek and to save that which
was lost.” He accomplished this mission and returned to
heaven, but He entrusted us with the same responsibility.
Just as the Father sent Him, He also sent us: “...as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John 20:21).
Now, we’re the ones to seek and save the lost. This is our
calling; we’re soul winners, reconciling men to God.
In your city, think like this: “The son of man has come
to seek and to save those who are lost.” Everywhere you
go, you arrive with this purpose. Whether on a bus, in an
airplane, or in a marketplace, you’re there to seek and
save the lost—to bring salvation to someone who needs
it. This is your mission.

54
 In 2 Corinthians 5:19, the Scripture says, “To wit,
that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and
hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
This is powerful! God, the Chief Reconciler, was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself. But He continues this
work through you. Today, God is in you, reconciling the
world to Himself.
And like Him, we don’t count people’s trespasses
against them. We’re imitators of God; we copy Him as
well-beloved children imitate their father (Ephesians 5:1-
2). Furthermore, He has committed to us the word or
message of reconciliation. Therefore, keep proclaiming
the Good News of salvation, bringing men and women
out of darkness into the glorious liberty of the children of
God. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for entrusting me with the ministry
of reconciliation; I walk in this calling, seeking and
saving the lost, just as the Lord Jesus did. I walk in love
and refuse to count offences against others. I am your
vessel, bringing your message of reconciliation to all I
encounter, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE CHURCH HAS THE DOMINION
Yet when we are among the full-grown
(spiritually mature Christians who are
ripe in understanding), we do impart a
[higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the
divine plan previously hidden); but it is
indeed not a wisdom of this present age
or of this world nor of the leaders and
rulers of this age, who are being brought
to nothing and are doomed to pass away
(1 Corinthians 2:6 AMPC).

T he rulers of this age are being brought to nothing,

and this isn’t something that God is doing from
heaven. Rather, it’s happening through us, through the
authority He’s given to the Church. We’re His battle axe
and weapons of war, enforcing His will on earth with the
authority vested in us.
Therefore, when you talk about the evil forces of this
world, the principalities of darkness and their works, affirm
what the Word says about them: "they are brought to
nothing." The greater One lives in you and His authority
is supreme over all the powers of this world. We’re in the
Church age and the Church has the dominion.
The Lord Jesus gave us the authority; He said in
Matthew 28:18-20, “…All power is given unto me in
56
heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.”
We’ve been empowered by the One who has all power
in heaven and in the earth. So, in His Name, we tame
situations, discipline circumstances and enforce the will
of God in the earth. Our words are by the Spirit of God;
therefore, they prevail in the lives of men and in the nations
of the earth. Blessed be God! The Church will continue to
reign gloriously, exercising dominion over the adversary
and his works until the Rapture. Isaiah 9:7 says, “Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no
end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.” Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom of your Word
and the authority vested in your Church to enforce your
will and establish your righteousness in the earth. The
schemes of men and the structures of darkness are
dismantled by the power of the Holy Spirit, and your
Word prevails in all the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE PROPHETIC AFFIRMATION
OF CHRIST’S DEITY
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you
a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive,
and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14).

H ebrews 10:5-7 tells us something really remarkable

about the Lord Jesus. It says, “Wherefore when
he cometh into the world, he saith… Lo, I come (in the
volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will,
O God.” He came to fulfil prophecies. It’s remarkable to
note that many of the prophecies concerning Him were
given over 500 years before He was born in Bethlehem.
Despite the long span of time and the many different
prophets through whom these prophetic words were
given, the Lord Jesus alone fulfilled these prophecies.
It’s impossible for one person to fulfil so many detailed
and extraordinary prophecies unless He’s truly the One
spoken of.
For example, the prophecies regarding the Virgin Birth;
Isaiah 7:14 declares, “Therefore the Lord himself shall
give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” This
prophecy was fulfilled as described in Matthew 1:22-23,
after Jesus was born in Bethlehem: "Now all this was
done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, 'Behold, a virgin shall be
with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall
call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.'"
A prophecy of His place of Birth is found in Micah 5:2,
58
and it says, “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out
of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler
in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old,
from everlasting.” Again, we find the fulfilment of this
prophecy in Matthew 2:1. It says, "Now when Jesus was
born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem."
This confirms that Jesus, the Messiah, was indeed
born in Bethlehem, as prophesied by Micah, despite the
town's humble significance. But even more profound is the
description of Him as One “whose goings forth have been
from of old, from everlasting.” This clearly speaks of His
divine nature—He existed before time began.
Jesus was born exactly as the prophets foretold, in
Bethlehem of Judah. No ordinary human being could
be described as one “whose goings forth has been from
everlasting.” These and other prophecies in Scripture affirm
His deity, demonstrating that He is Himself God who took
on human form. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the unveiling of your Word
to my spirit to understand the divine nature of Jesus
and the accuracy of the Scriptures that testify of Him.
My faith is firmly rooted in your infallible Word, and I
boldly proclaim Jesus as Lord over all. His Kingdom is
established forever, and I walk in the light of His victory
today and always. Amen.

CHRIST—THE SEED OF
ABRAHAM & DAVID
Now to Abraham and his seed were the
promises made. He saith not, and to
seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to
thy seed, which is Christ (Galatians 3:16).

G od’s Word is remarkably precise when it comes

to prophecy. The promise made to Abraham was
not a general promise to many descendants but a specific
promise concerning one seed. In Genesis 22:17-18, God
said to Abraham, “…in blessing I will bless thee, and in
multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the
heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore;
and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed....”
Notice how God repeatedly used the singular form
“seed” and not “seeds.” The Apostle Paul clarifies this in
Galatians 3:16, stating that this singular “seed” refers to
Christ, emphasizing the accuracy of God’s Word and the
fulfilment of His promise: “Now to Abraham and his seed
were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds,
as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is
Christ.” Through Jesus Christ, the nations of the earth
have indeed been blessed with salvation, healing, and
eternal life.
Furthermore, certain prophecies also reveal that the
Messiah would be a descendant of David. Jeremiah 23:5
says, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I
will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King
shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment
60
and justice in the earth.” This prophetic word speaks
of a righteous King from the lineage of David who would
reign and establish justice in the earth.
Isaiah previously gave a similar prophecy with even
more details when he prophesied by the Spirit, “And there
shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and
a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of
the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom
and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear
of the LORD...” (Isaiah 11:1-3). Also, 2 Timothy 2:8 says,
"Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was
raised from the dead according to my gospel."
These prophecies describe the nature and character
of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. He’s indeed the fulfilment
of the promises made to Abraham and to David the son
of Jesse. He’s the Seed and the Righteous Branch who
has come to establish God's Kingdom. Blessed be His
Name forever!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the fulfilment of your Word
concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. He’s the Seed of
Abraham, the Righteous Branch from the lineage of
David who reigns in righteousness and truth. In Him,
the nations of the earth are blessed, and His Kingdom is
established forever. I live in the reality of His reign and
proclaim His Lordship over all the earth today, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

HERALDS OF THE KINGDOM
Now then we are ambassadors for
Christ, as though God did beseech you
by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be
ye reconciled to God
(2 Corinthians 5:20).

T he Lord Jesus entrusted us with the responsibility

to preach the message of His Kingdom in all the
nations of the world. In Matthew 28:19-20, He said, "Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen."
He also said in Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of
the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
Who’s going to preach this message of the Kingdom in
all the world for a witness unto all nations? It’s us! We’re
ambassadors of the great Kingdom of God. We’re the
harbingers and bearers of the message of the Kingdom.
We have something to give and bless the world with—the
62
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul’s mentality in 2 Corinthians 5:20
encapsulates this truth: “Now then we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we
pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
You speak in Christ’s stead, because you represent Him
and His message. He told us to speak in His Name, as
His representatives.
Therefore, wherever you are, Christ Himself is there.
When people receive you, they receive Him, and they
receive His blessings through you: "He that receiveth
you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth
him that sent me" (Matthew 10:40). How glorious this
is! Take your place as the ambassador of Christ, a legal
representative of the Kingdom of God and bless your world.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me your ambassador, a
legal representative of your Kingdom. I speak in the Name
of Jesus, bearing the blessings of the Kingdom to my
world. I declare that through me, lives are transformed,
and many are reconciled to you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE CONDITION OF YOUR SPIRIT
Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly… (Colossians 3:16).

I f the Lord Jesus were to stand in front of you, how

would you react or respond? It may surprise you to
know that you’re unlikely to do any of the things you’re
probably imagining right now that you’d do. That’s because,
in the spirit realm, we respond from our spirits.
Therefore, if Jesus were to stand in front of you right
now, you're going to respond from your spirit, because He’d
be appearing to your spirit, and the condition of your spirit
is what will be revealed. Consider when Saul (who later
became Paul) encountered the Lord Jesus. The Master
spoke from heaven to him, and he, falling to the ground
and blinded by the glory of the Lord’s radiance, responded
by asking, “...Who art thou, Lord?...” (Acts 9:5).
Imagine such a great and mighty voice spoke to him,
and all he could say was, “Who are you?” That’s because
that was the personality of Saul’s spirit at the time; he
was still rowdy, injurious to the Church. That’s who he
was. And when the Lord replied, “...I am Jesus whom
thou persecutest…” (Acts 9:5), He was relating with the
condition of Saul’s spirit.
Later on, the Lord Jesus appeared to him again and
told him He would send him far away to the Gentiles,
64
explaining that the people in Jerusalem wouldn’t receive
his testimony. Saul argued with the Lord Jesus, insisting
that the people knew who he was prior to his conversion,
and as a result, they’d believe him. Saul was responding
to the Lord based on the condition of his legalistic spirit
at the time.
So the question is: What’s your spirit like? Who are you
on the inside? That’s what will manifest in your words and
in your actions. It’s not about the emotional or superficial
reactions of the flesh. Even your emotions are often a
result of the condition of your spirit.
It’s one of the reasons you must constantly educate
and condition your spirit with the Word of God. When you
allow the Word of God to dwell in you richly as it says in
Colossians 3:16, your spirit will be rightly conditioned to
receive divine guidance, be a sure guide, express the
Christ-life, and manifest Kingdom realities. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me an ambassador for
Christ. I declare that my spirit is attuned to your Word,
and I respond by faith to your Word always. I represent
your Kingdom effectively, proclaiming your truth with
boldness and accuracy, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 “Healed Of Blood Clot”
My husband was involved in an accident that resulted in a blood
clot in his brain, requiring surgery. After the doctor explained
his chances of survival if he underwent the surgery, we opted
out without an alternative plan. It was around this time that God
sent me a solution—my first copy of Rhapsody of Realities.
Through each day’s teaching, I learned how to grow my faith,
speak God’s Word over my husband’s condition and insist on
a miracle. Miraculously, within three months, we returned
to the hospital and there was no trace of the blood clot in his
brain. Hallelujah! -S.A; Singapore
“A Fresh Start”
My life was once defined by the trauma of rape, abuse and
addiction. These experiences isolated me, making it difficult
to connect with others or see a future beyond my pain. I felt
abandoned, unloved and exhausted by life itself. However,
everything changed gradually when I encountered Rhapsody
of Realities. Through its pages, I experienced true love for
the first time. It brought healing to my heart, gave me a fresh
start, and filled my life with purpose and hope. Today, I’m
excited about my life and the extravagant love of God that I
experienced in Rhapsody of Realities. -D.W; England
“Healing Through Partnership”
I received a call from the hospital informing me that my sister
had been admitted in critical condition and was on oxygen
support due to breathing complications. In that moment of
urgency, I began praying fervently in tongues. As I prayed, the
Holy Spirit reminded me of the partnership seed I had sown
the previous day. With boldness, I began declaring God’s Word
and dispatched the Messenger Angel to minister healing to her.
To the glory of God, when I visited the hospital the next day,
I found her completely restored—agile, active and breathing
freely without any medical assistance. -R.M; Nigeria
