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.

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.

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.

I live above the economy and
economics of this world. I’m

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

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your
Word and the power therein to
make me what it talks about. I live
the transcendent life, walking in
your glory and in the dominion
of the Spirit. I live in victory,
righteousness, peace and joy
forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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.

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

success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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!.
Rhapsody of Realities profile on KingsChat Web
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.

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!

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

Real And Authentic
Christianity
Real and authentic Christianity is the demonstration
and display of the virtues, excellences and
perfections of Christ on earth. It’s a walk of righteousness.
Take a look at Peter’s submission in our opening verse; that’s
who the Christian is.
Notice that the verse doesn’t say, “You’re going to
be...” No! You need to understand the difference between
when God is giving us a promise and when He’s making
a statement of fact. They’re two different things. If He tells
you what you’re going to be or what you’re going to do,
that’s different from what you are and where you are. It says,
“But you are…”; that means “now,” whether or not you feel
that way makes no difference. If God says you are, you are.
Hallelujah!
There’re Christians and even ministers who say, “You
know, it’s not like we’re special; we’re just ordinary people
doing supernatural or extraordinary things.” Never say that.
We’re not ordinary people doing extraordinary things. We’re
extraordinary people doing extraordinary things! It’s our responsibility to get God’s children to become
like this, that the body of Christ will boldly display and
demonstrate the virtues, excellences, and perfections of
Christ; the righteousness of Christ. Praise God!
Rhapsody of Realities profile on KingsChat Web
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

CONFESSION
I’m eternally victorious in Christ.
I have power over crises; I’m
prospering exceedingly,
manifesting the righteousness
and dominion of Christ
everywhere. I live above, and far
beyond the distracting elements
of this world, because I live in
Christ! Blessed be God!

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.
