Rhapsody Of Realities 3 January 2024: Your Prosperous Life In Christ

Rhapsody Of Realities 3 January 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Your Prosperous Life In Christ

TOPIC: Your Prosperous Life In Christ (Rhapsody of Realities 3 January 2024)

And God can make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation (2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

God’s plan is for His children to have abundant supply. I’ve searched the Scriptures, and I find no place where it gives us the idea that poverty, lack, and want might be God’s will; there isn’t even a suggestion in the Bible. Recall that even the devil blamed God for making Job rich and blessing him with great substance (Job 1:9-10).

You must accept that your financial or material prosperity is important to God. He said in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Think about that!

Then Job 22:24-25 says, “Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust…and thou shalt have plenty of silver.” If you ever wiped a table clean of dust, you’d observe that the dust settled again on the surface after a while. It paints a picture of the prosperity God’s people are called to experience: unending and abundant supply.

It brings to mind the words of David in Psalm 23:1-2. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures…” That’s the way to think. You’re plugged into an unending supply. This has nothing to do with the country where you live; it’s the Life you’ve been called to in Christ Jesus.

Recall again what we read in our opening scripture. God doesn’t want you to be conscious of need. You’re an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). 1 Corinthians 3:21 says, “…all things are yours.” Your heavenly Father owns the whole world and has willed it to you because you’re Abraham’s seed: “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

Choose a joyful, prosperous Life in Christ. Do not see your Job or business as your source of livelihood but as a medium to bless others. In Christ, you’ve been brought into the Life of superabundance; acknowledge and enjoy our inheritance.

PRAYER

Dear Father, you’re gracious and kind. Thank you for making me a joint heir with Christ; the world belongs to me. I choose to live a joyful, prosperous Life in Christ, for all things are mine, and nothing good is withheld from me. I dwell in superabundance, and my Life manifests your love and grace in Jesus’s name. Amen.

Psalm 23:1-2: 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He made me lie down in green pastures and leadeth me beside the still waters.

1 Timothy 6:17: Charge them that are rich in this world, that they are not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
