Live Above The Systems
The life the Master lived here on earth was so
impressive. Jesus was far removed from the
decadence of the world, the penury around Him and the
corruption and failure of His society. He lived far above, and
beyond the government and systems of the day when He
walked the earth.
We don’t find Jesus interfering with their politics or
trying to do something about their economy. In other words,
He didn’t bring some strange or heavenly currency into their
system, yet He was never limited by money. Money was His
slave. He was self-sufficient. Whatever He required, He didn’t
need to call out to heaven; He brought it forth from within.
This is the life that He’s given us: He’s made us
self-sufficient, to function above and beyond the systems of
this world. He said you’re in the world, but not of the world.
That means you’re not to be ruled, dominated or influenced
by the systems, that is the crippling and corrupting influences
in today’s world. You play by a different set of rules. Many
around you may be influenced, and provoked to compromise
as a result of the corruption in today’s world, but be like Jesus.
Be independent of circumstances.
Think and talk like Paul, who said, “But my God shall
supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). In the eleventh verse, while in
prison, he wrote: “Not that I speak in respect of want: for
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be
content (independent of circumstances) ” (Philippians 4:11). He was self-sufficient. Furthermore, he said, “I can do all
things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians
4:13).
Refuse to be enslaved by the system of this world; live
above and beyond it. That’s the only way. Learn God’s Word
and operate a law that’s higher than the law that runs in the
systems of this world. Job 22:29 says, “When men are cast
down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up….” Keep your
head up high and maintain your faith-composure. When it
seems like you’re beginning to feel the pressure, don’t give
in; keep doing the Word. Shut yourself in and talk the Word.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
I live above the economy and
economics of this world. I’m
immune to the hardships,
corruption and decadence that
ravage the lives of men. I live in
the Word, and therefore, in
victory and triumph always, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

An Entirely New Life
The term “born again” isn’t a religious cliché, which
connotes turning over a new leaf. When you ask
some Christians how they know they’re born again, some
would reply, “I know I’m born again, because the bad things I
used to do, I do them no more. I’ve changed my ways, and
now, I behave differently.” Being born again is much more
than that. What you receive when you’re born again is an
entirely new life. There’s no such thing as “The bad things I
used to do, I do them no more,” because the person who did
those things is dead. He doesn’t exist anymore. When you received Christ into your life, something
actually happened: your spirit was recreated. You were born
of the Word of God and of the Spirit of God. You now
have the life, nature and character of God. And when a
man has the life, nature and character of God, he can only
live like God. So, being born again is actually receiving the
God-nature; becoming an associate of the God-kind. Your old life or
nature isn’t suspended; it’s dead; you’ve come up a new man;
a new species of being; one that never existed before; one
without a past. In the presence of God, everything you were
before you were born again, and everything you did before
you were born again has no record. This isn’t a promise. This
is a statement of fact in the Word. Learn more in today's Rhapsody. www.rhapsodyofrealities.org

Agree With The Word
Confession in our opening text means speaking the
same thing in consent. If God has said something,
and you say something that’s in consonance with what He
has said, that’s confession. For example, the Word says the
Lord is with you always until the end of the age. Therefore,
never say, “O God, be with me”; to speak like that is to be in
conflict with God’s Word. You ought to say, “Lord, I thank
you for you’re with me always.”
The Bible says, “Can two walk together, except they
be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). The way to walk in agreement with
God is to do His Word or act in line with the Word; that’s
where the blessing is: “But whoso looketh into the perfect
law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful
hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:25).
Our opening text says, “…if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Anyone who, in response to that, declares the Lordship of
Jesus, believing that God raised Him from the dead, is saved
and will never go to hell. However, if after making that
declaration someone goes ahead to say, “I don’t know
whether I’m saved or not,” they repudiate their salvation.
Never speak against the Word. Don’t invalidate your faith by speaking words that conflict with the will of God for
you. The way to an ever vibrant, ever glorious and successful
life is talking the Word only, regardless of circumstances.
There’re not enough problems in the world to hinder your
progress if you’d speak and live in consonance with the
Word.

The Lordship Of Love
When you declared Jesus Christ as Lord of your life,
He became your Master. Lord means master,
possessor or owner. Some Christians don’t seem to realize
this; they think Jesus is there to answer their prayers and give
them whatever they want. They haven’t known Him as Lord.
He being the Lord of your life means you exist for Him; He’s
the One in charge of your life.
The beautiful thing about it is that He’s not a tyrant;
so, He doesn’t try to run your life or infringe on your will.
He’s Lord over you in love. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is
the Lordship of love. It means submitting yourself to love; the
loving power of God. Remember, He’s love. So, when Jesus
became the Lord of your life, “Love” became the Lord of your
life.
There’s no selfishness about Jesus; He’s God’s love
personified and expressed to man. He’s the living love of
God manifested to us. You don’t love yourself as much as
“Love” loves you; He’s more ambitious for your success than
you could ever be for yourself. When this becomes your
consciousness, all your struggles will be over.
Jesus loves you more than you could ever imagine.
He’s more willing and concerned for your happiness, peace,
and joy, than you could ever be for yourself. He knows all the
gifts that you want in your life and every good thing you want
for yourself, and He desires even more for you. Serve Him
with all your heart. Trust Him with your life. Not only does He
know everything about you, He knows everything about your future. Without Him, there’s no future for you.
Put yourself into His guiding arms and let Him lead
you. Submit to the supremacy of His will, counsel and
wisdom, for He loves you with an everlasting love. Hallelujah!.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
Lordship of Jesus over my life; the
lordship of His love. I cast myself
into your loving arms, trusting
you to lead and guide me in your
perfect will for my life. I walk the
path of success and victory only,
because Jesus is Lord of my life,
my mind, body, finances and all
that concerns me; He’s my
master, lover, and friend. Glory to
His Name forever.
Rhapsody of Realities profile on KingsChat Web
PRAYER
I live and walk in health,
prosperity, and in all the benefits
of salvation in Christ. The Name
of Jesus is named upon me, and
I live triumphantly, from glory to
glory, heaping success upon
success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Our Completeness In Him
The totality of divinity resides in Jesus Christ. When
you see Jesus, you’re looking at the fullness of the
God-head; He’s the house of God in entirety. Whether or not
you agree with this doesn’t make any difference. You may
look at Him and say He’s just a man, like they said in Bible
days, but He’s Himself God.
“Fullness” in our theme scripture is the Greek word
“pleroma” which means a completeness, where nothing that’s
necessary is out; where there’s no shortage; a perfect
completion. And something most amazing about this is that
the Bible says, “You’re complete in Him who is the head of all
principality and power.”
When God looks at you, He sees completeness;
everything you require for life and godliness is in you:
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3).
Refuse to live with a consciousness of lack; as though there’re
certain things you don’t have; live the higher life in Christ.
As long as you’re thinking, “If only the government
would do this or that for me; if only XYZ would give me this or
give me that, I’d be able to make it in life,” you’re confessing
incompleteness, and that’s wrong. You’re sufficient in Christ’s
sufficiency. Become totally inundated with this consciousness.
Affirm it. Live it.
Your confession, every so often should be, “Father, I’m
not desiring anything, because I have all things! I’m complete in Christ! I’m sufficient in His sufficiency; there’s no shortage
in my life, but completeness.” Do this consciously and
continually, and you’d realize that merely calling things by
name brings them into your world. This world belongs to you!
Hallelujah!

Ordained To Be Productive
Jesus brought us into a life of power, fruitfulness, and
productivity. This truth is expressed in John 15:16
where He said, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen
you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask
of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” He lets you
know that you’ve been chosen, ordained, commissioned and
appointed to bring forth lasting results.
This means He has made you efficient and effective: ... This is the mind-set with which you must approach every
assignment this year. There’s increased grace for you. The
Lord is at work in you both to will and to do of His good
pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
Read again the Psalmist’s beautiful description of this
extraordinary life of productivity and excellence that God has
brought you into: “And he shall be like a tree planted by
the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper” (Psalm 1:3). Make this your daily contemplation and
confession. Declare every so often, “I’m like a tree planted by
the rivers of water, and I produce excellent results. I’m fruitful
and productive!” Learn more in today's Rhapsody. www.rhapsodyofrealities.org

Perpetual Victory And Glory In
Christ Jesus
For those who understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and the reason Christ came, life isn’t full of “ups and
downs,” but one of perpetual victory and glory in Christ Jesus.
As a child of God, you’re called to live each day of your life in
glory, in victory over every situation. The victorious life is your
birthright, for God has raised you up, and made you to sit
together with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). ... Nothing in this world could successfully stand against
you, for “…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world” (1 John 4:4). You’ve been delivered, transferred, from
the powers of darkness, and translated into the Kingdom of
God’s dear Son, who leads us in the triumphal excursions of
life; a perpetual victory parade!
Take your stand in faith against sickness, disease,
poverty, death, Satan, and his manipulations. Maintain your
victory in Christ Jesus. Life in Christ is a super-life; it’s a daily
expression of victorious and triumphant living! Learn more in today's Rhapsody. Click here to download the January Edition of Rhapsody of Realities http://bit.ly/2lIyckr

Understanding His Perfect Love
Loving the Lord, and knowing that He loves you, is
perfect love, and that perfect love rids your life of
fear. This means the one who lives in fear isn’t perfected in
love. You really don’t need to try to fight fear or doubt if you’d
walk in God’s love. There’ll be no need for an effort on your
part to walk triumphantly over the darkness and adversities of
life if you’d trust His love for you, and love Him in return.
Sometimes, Christians and even ministers of the
Gospel may have fears; it could be fear about their health,
about their finances, about their ministry, etc. If you ever find
yourself in such a state, don’t despair. Rather, meditate on the
Father’s love for you, until it takes a hold of your spirit. If you
do, no matter the troubles, you’ll have boldness and courage
for victory in the midst of the trouble.
When someone says, “I’m afraid of this or that,” that
person is yet to comprehend the love of God, for perfect
love drives away fear: fear of being rejected by others, fear
of the future or fear of life itself. What you need to realize
is that God is love and you don’t have to be afraid of Him,
despite all the wrong things you may have done. Learn more from today's Rhapsody. www.rhapsodyofrealities.org

Absolutely Victorious In Christ
The scriptures are replete with information that let us
know that God has given us an absolutely victorious
life. 1 John 5:4 says, “For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith.” 2 Corinthians 2:14 emphasizes the
great, notable and consistent victories we have in Christ:
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to
triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his
knowledge by us in every place.”
Refuse to accept anything short of a life of glory and
success in Christ Jesus, for that’s your heritage as a child of
God. Jesus died for you, and it wasn’t for nothing. To keep
cringing, bawling, wailing, crying or begging through life, after
His death, and triumphant resurrection on your behalf, is to
make the cross of Christ of none effect.
Jesus shed His blood for you; and since He’s already
done it, all you need do is enjoy the triumphant life. This
is the grace of God. When He hung on the cross, God
saw you hanging on that cross; you died in Him, and rose
up triumphantly from the grave with Him. Therefore, you
have legal rights to righteousness, divine health, a sound and
excellent mind, and an extraordinary life, because of what
Christ has done for you. ... The world may be facing economic hardship, but we
live the higher life. Job 22:29 says, “When men are cast down,
then thou shalt say, There is lifting up….” There’s lifting power
in you; power to rise over and above the crises of life. That
power is Christ in you! Learn more from today's Rhapsody. www.rhapsodyofrealities.org

Celebrate His Goodness
As the year 2017 draws to a fruitful end, it’s
important that we make out time to thank God for
His mighty blessings in our lives. Make today a special day of
rejoicing, expressing profuse gratitude to the Lord for His
blessings throughout 2017.
There’re four important ways you’re to celebrate and
thank the Lord today. First is through your prayer of
thanksgiving; express yourself to Him with thanksgiving from
your heart. Secondly, worship and praise Him profusely and
ecstatically from your spirit. Thirdly, celebrate Him with your
testimony—your testimony of thanksgiving. Testify of what
He’s done in your life; eulogize Him for the joy of the Spirit
that’s in your heart. Thank Him for the foundation of your
spirit; the foundation of faith that God gave you. Celebrate
the hope, and other blessings in your spirit.
Lastly, celebrate Him with an offering. We worship
God with our offerings because He’s God. Your offering to
God is an oblation, a testimony of your faith in Him. Give
the Lord a special thanksgiving offering today, and project
yourself into the greater future He’s planned for you.
Choose certain times or hours of the day to have
celebration sessions alone or with your family. Make it an
entire day of celebration, because you’re grateful for all that
Christ is to you; you acknowledge and appreciate His grace
at work in you.
Don’t spend time thinking about some unattained
goals or “disappointments” you may have experienced in the year. Rather, celebrate Jesus, trusting that He’s already
perfected all that concerns you. Rejoice! Shout and dance
around in your room, glorifying the Name of Jesus. Celebrate
His life that’s in you. Celebrate His Word that’s working
mightily in you. Celebrate the prosperity, health, peace, joy,
victories and life of glory that God has given you.
Rhapsody of Realities profile on KingsChat Web
PRAYER
Thank you precious Father, for
your blessings upon my life, my
family, and everything that
concerns me; you’ve decorated
my life with your glory. You

things; for these, I rejoice and
adore your majesty. All glory,
dominion and praise are yours,
now and forever, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for your
love in my heart; I walk in
dominion today, because you’ve
given me the spirit of power,
love, and of a sound mind! I walk
worthy of you unto all pleasing,
rejoicing that you’ve caused me
to triumph over fear, Satan, and
the world. Hallelujah!

You Mirror Him
The Lord Jesus gave us the clearest picture of God
possible. In John 14:7-9, when Philip said to Him, “
…Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us,” the Master
gave a profound response. He said, “…he that hath seen me
hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the
Father.” He wanted them to know that He was the express
image of the Father—the clear example and expression of the
Father’s character. So, back in Bible days, the disciples saw
and knew the Father in Jesus.
Someone might say, “We aren’t as privileged as the
disciples who were with Jesus as He walked the streets of
Galilee, Nazareth, or Capernaum, revealing the nature and
love of the Father; how then can we know the Father?” Yes,
Jesus is in heaven, but He isn’t expecting that you physically
see Him like those in His days did. The Holy Spirit lives in you today, taking the place of
Jesus who is in heaven, and He looks, talks, acts, and loves
exactly like Jesus. This is wonderful because just as Jesus
mirrors the Father, being the express image of the Father’s
person, the effulgence of His glory, you also are the icon of
the Father. If today you want to see or know what God looks
like, all you have to do is look at God’s mirror—His Word—and
see Him in you.
