_OUR CULTURE IS IN CHRIST_

Monday, August 9th.
Pastor Chris

```Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2).```

As Christians, though we’ve been called and chosen out of the world, we still live among different people with different cultures, backgrounds and mindsets. Sometimes, some Christians find themselves caught in a conflict between their Christian faith and what obtains in an earthly culture. First, it’s important to understand that being  born  again,  your primary culture is in Christ Jesus. You must imbibe the culture of the Word of God. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 says if any man be in Christ, he is  a  new  creature;  you  don’t  have  another  nature,  or belong to another culture; the Word of God is what guides your way of life and principles. Culture is often simply defined as the way of life of a people, and for us, Christ is our life (Colossians 3:4) and faith in the Word is our lifestyle (Hebrews 10:38, 2 Corinthians 5:7). 

Some people like to identify with,  or participate in “cultural” ceremonies in their countries, cities, or towns of natural birth. However, such  “sub-cultures” or cultural events must not negate or be contrary to the Word of God and your faith in Christ Jesus. 

When you’re  cultured  by the Word,  your outlook on life changes. The Word will choose your new norms and become your reference for and in everything. You’ll only embrace and celebrate Christ-values; those things the Kingdom stands for—what you have, who you are—your heritage in Christ. Hallelujah! 

*PRAYER*
_Righteous Father, I rejoice at the transformation your  Word  brings  to  my  spirit  always;  your  Word has given me a culture and the mindset of success and greatness. I celebrate my great heritage in Christ—who I am and all the blessings of the heavenly Kingdom to which I belong, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*|| Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ||*

*|| Galatians 3:27-28 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. ||*

*1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN:*
Romans 11:25-36 & Psalms 82-84 

*2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN:*
Luke 14:15-24 & Judges 17

*We trust you have been blessed by this devotional. We invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:*

_“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”_

Let us know that you made that declaration by sending a mail to info@rhapsodyofrealities.org

*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TEEVO*

*Rhapsody of Realities Teevo* 26th August 2021 👤 Pastor Chris THEME: Trust the Spirit’s Ability (Don’t Put Your Trust In The “Brains” Of This World) TO THE BIBLE 📖: Zechariah 4:6 “So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Click here to visit our website for more Rhapsody of Realities and pastor Chris Messages 👉 kingsnation20online.blogspot.com Let's Talk Some people try hard to succeed through their own natural wisdom. They are well-schooled and vastly-knowledgeable, yet true success eludes them. This is because they function from the mind, the sense-realm, which, even at its best, is still greatly limited. The mind is never enough; true success is by the Spirit. The world may describe you as a “super brain” or a genius; it makes no difference. The wisdom of this world profits nothing. Success isn‘t by might or by power, but by the Spirit of God. If you’ve been trying to su...

GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER

GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER Rev Chris Oyakhilome Dsc DD How to pray: 1. Pray for all men declaring that this is the day of salvation and grace 2 Cor 6:1-2, 2 Cor 4:4. Acts 26:18 We have to break the power of Satan off of their minds. So those who have difficulty believing can believe. 2.  Pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send forth labourers into the harvest fields of leaders of nations and governments. Luke 10:1-2. They are in contact with people all the time so God has to guide somebody to bring the gospel to them. 3. Pray that the Lordlord will change the mind of leaders from foolishness and deception to truth. This is so important.  Proverbs 21:1 Most times we want to pray OUT certain government or leader and pray IN someone else. God doesn't want us to do that  Think how many times you have been disappointed through the years from someone whom you favored.  A lot of times, they turned out to be anti God or anti Christ. They were against the things you were for in righteousness....

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SATURDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2021   THEME: MAKING A LASTING IMPACT    ðŸ‘¤ Pastor Chris                                                                                Scripture: Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with energy: who went about doing good, and therapeutic all that had been oppressed of the satan; for God was with him. THE MESSAGE It’s not how lengthy you reside; it’s the influence you make that issues, and Jesus was a typical instance of that. He didn’t have an extended life on earth, however He impacted the world tremendously. Luke three:23 NLT says, “Jesus was about thirty years outdated when he started his public ministry….” At thirty-three, He was crucified. He ministered for simply three years and altered the entire world. All through historical past, no single particular person has made or might ever make the form of influence on the entire world as Jesus. Even the world’s relationship system—forwards and backwards—is...
