Chosen To Be Blameless
The blessings of the new man in Christ are just so
profound. They’re transcendent, to say the least.
One of these blessings is that you’re chosen in Christ to be
blameless. Society may blame you; your parents, spouse, or
even your children may blame you. Your neighbours, friends
and co-workers may blame you when something goes wrong.
But there’s one who never lays blame on you—your heavenly
Father.
Why isn’t He blaming you? It’s because Jesus took
responsibility for all our errors, and now, you’re presented to
the Father as holy, unblameable, without reproach. Hebrews
3:1 says, “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly
calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our
profession, Christ Jesus.” The Word calls us “holy brethren.”
Men may look at you as unholy, but God says you’re holy and
accepted before Him in love.
This is the reason we can pray to God and expect
answers. It’s the reason we can change hopeless situations,
because we have a right of hearing in the presence of
Almighty God. The Bible tells us something so insightful in
2 Corinthians 5:19. It says, “To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them….” Think about that: If because of Jesus,
the sinner isn’t being held accountable for his sins, what about
you who are now in Christ? (See Romans 5:10).
Now, read Colossians 1:21-22 and shout for joy! It
says, “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy
and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.” Notice the
reason for the reconciliation: to present you holy, blameless,
and unreproveable before God.
It doesn’t matter how much Satan accuses you or how
others may blame you, God has chosen you to be holy and
without blame before Him in love. Strengthen yourself with
this thought today.

PARTNERS OF RHAPSODY OF REALITIES STORM SCHOOLS, STREETS AND HOMES IN COMMEMORATION OF TATIANA DAY IN UKRAINE
Tatiana Day is an observance day celebrated in Ukraine, Russia and other nations that formed the former Soviet Union on January 25 every year. It is a special day in commemoration of the promulgation of a decree that established the first university in the Soviet Union. This also coincided with the celebration of a Christian Martyr called Tatiana.
This year, partners of Rhapsody of Realities in Ukraine took advantage of the celebration to distribute copies of the devotional in more than 10 cities in Ukraine. Copies of the devotional were freely distributed in universities including Zaporozhye National Technical University, Classic Private University, among others.
ReachOut Tatiana Day in Ukraine was also a strategic opportunity for the partners to take the Gospel to school authorities as special hampers containing copies of our Messenger Angel were given out to Rectors, Deans, teaching and non-teaching staff of different faculties in these universities.
Many of the recipients gave their hearts to Christ and their special appreciation to our dear Man of God for the love and the special blessing of the devotional. We are grateful to our partners for sponsoring the distribution on Rhapsody of Realities in Ukraine on Tatiana Day 2018.

PRAYER
Blessed Father, I thank you for
eternal life is in my spirit. I’m not
ordinary; divinity is at work in me.
The divine life surges through my
being! As the Father has life in
Himself, so do I, because I’m an
associate of the God-kind; as
Jesus is, so am I. Blessed be God!

Name. Amen.

Always Respond To The Call To
Give
One important blessing you should crave and desire
to walk in is the grace of giving. Giving is a grace.
When that grace is at work in your life, every opportunity to
give becomes for you a celebration, especially knowing that
God is always the last giver. No one can ever out-give Him.
That’s why whenever He asks you to give or when there’s a
call to give, you ought to respond swiftly. This is something
you must practise consciously.
Some unwisely hold on to that which they’re supposed
to give to the Lord, not realizing that God only asks us to give
so we can be launched into the next level of our prosperity
in Him. Another reason you must always be prompt to give
is that your financial seeds to God could sometimes serve
as ransom for your life against evil. Proverbs 13:8 says, “The
ransom of a man’s life are his riches….”
You need to realize that though Satan is a defeated
foe, he’s a rebel, who continuously seeks to snare God’s
people. Don’t give him a chance in your life. Sowing special
seed-offerings is one sure way to obliterate every hindrance
he places in your path.
Testimonies abound of people who were delivered
in desperate or terminal situations after they gave a special
seed-offering. That offering became the ransom for their lives!
Many in the Bible experienced and wrought miraculous
victories through their sacrificial giving.Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you;
good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and
running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the
same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to
you again.” The promise is to the giver. The Lord will multiply
the seeds that you sow, and cause you to inherit greater
substance as you give.
Moreover, your blessings on financial giving don’t
necessarily have to be in money. There’re several other
blessings that accrue to you as a giver, some of which are by
far greater than immediate financial returns. So, each time you
have the opportunity to give, be excited, because it means
the Spirit of God is doing something in your life that’ll affect
the course of your destiny.

PRAYER
I know who I am; I’m not of this
world. I’m a new creation; I’ve
come out of death, and I’m
perfected in Christ Jesus. Christ
is alive in me—spirit, soul, and
body—in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for you’re
the one who is active, alive,
working in and through me, both
to will and to do what pleases
you. I’m strengthened by the
Word and your Spirit, to daily
express your goodness, love,
kindness and righteousness to my
world, thereby, fulfilling your
purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

He’s Working In And Through
You
Our opening verse lets us know that it was God
working in Christ to give sight to the blind, feed
the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, mend the broken
hearted, deliver those who were oppressed of the devil and
even raise the dead. Luke, in Acts 10:38 gives credence to
this: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him.”
The oppression came from the devil, but the Father
anointed Jesus, who in turn, healed all who had been
oppressed. It brings to mind the words of the Apostle Paul in
Philippians 2:13: “For it is God which worketh in you both to
will and to do of his good pleasure.”
Paul wasn’t guessing; he understood the words of Jesus
when He said in John 14:10, “…but the Father that dwelleth in
me, he doeth the works.” This is what the Holy Ghost does in
us today; He’s at work in you, making you willing and causing
you to do the Father’s will. He’s the one who makes you
willing to serve God and helps you do His will. He’s alive in
you. He talks through you and works in you.
He’s your ability. 2 Corinthians 3:5 (AMPC) says, “Not
that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves
to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are
from God.” Imagine if you’re conscious of this every day and
allow this to work in your life; you’ll never complain anymore.
Thoughts like, “I wish I could do this or that,” would be a thing
of the past.
Stand up from within! Declare who you are in Christ,
and His ability that’s at work in you. Affirm that He’s
impacting the world through you, according to His power
that works in you mightily. Declare that you can do all things
through Christ that lives in, and strengthens you.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

Our Fellowship With Him
Fellowship means oneness. It’s a coming together; a
union. And in the context of our opening text, it
means being in the same class with God. We’ve been brought
into an inseparable oneness with the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit. No wonder Peter calls us “comrades of the
God-kind”; partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
The same life that flows in the vine (Jesus), flows in the
branches (the church), because we’re one with Him. This is
a marvelous thing about our Christianity; our oneness with
the Lord. It’s the reason Jesus came. The Bible says, “God is
faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his
Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9).
How could you be broke, poor, or live an ordinary life,
when you’re in fellowship with God? Part of what that means
is that you’re a joint-heir with Christ! Everything that belongs
to Jesus Christ belongs to you, in the same way that it belongs
to Him. That’s the grace of Jesus Christ. He’s brought you into
oneness with Himself. The world belongs to you. Live and
walk in this consciousness. Learn more from today's Rhapsody. www.rhapsodyofrealities.org

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!
