REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD

It becomes clearer and clearer what the ministry of the spirit is like: an outflow of God's love. 
Jesus was the manifestation of the Love of God. 
The Bible says God is love and Love was tabernacled in Human flesh and manifested to us. 
The word "Love" was there before Jesus came. It wasn't created when Jesus arrived. It was a known word. So, they had their idea of Love. But Jesus Christ was the manifestation of God's love. 
When he entered the Temple and preached, he was God's love in manifestation. When he healed the sick in the synagogue, He was God's love in manifestation. And when he made whips and overturned the tables in the Temple, he was God's love in manifestation..
When he called Herod a Fox, he was God's love in manifestation 
Your human definition of love will never decide for God was love is. 
Love was the son of God come to us in the flesh. He was fully God and fully man. He was everything that love is.

What about the Pharisees and Sadducees that saw him. The Bible says when we see him there is no beauty that we should desire him. There wasn't really anything spectacular. 
At his arrest Judas had to identify him as popular as Jesus was. They still had to tell him from the other guys. 
That's why they disagreed with him and argued with him. They said they didn't know where He was from. 
They all knew Joseph was not his real daddy. 
When He healed a man of Blindness, they asked him what Jesus did. They didn't believe Jesus was the son of God because he didn't look anything different from others. 
But He was truly the son of God. 
He was eternal life encased in a human body. 
He was God's love tabernacled in a human body. He declared himself so. 
And they didn't agree with him.
Not even his siblings agreed with him.
They weren't very happy with him. They didn't believe in him even though they were from the same home; inspite of their mother's testimony. 
At the crucifixion, where were his siblings? Only his mother was there. Jesus had to commit his mother into the hand of John.
Maybe they thought their mom was crazy. Maybe they believed Jesus deserved to die. 
They disappeared at the Crucifixion. 
John was there when other disciples fled. 
Jesus was exactly who he claimed to be. 

When did his brothers believe in him? At the ascension. 
When Jesus resurrected, they did not believe. 
While they were in Galilee with others after the resurrection with Jesus addressing them, (I wonder what they were thinking at that moment) , Jesus Levitated before their very eyes. They saw him ascend. 

Remember he had told them the proof of where he came from, would be the ascension. That's why Christians must preach the ascension. 

John 6:62
Jesus had told the Jews: what if you see the son of man ascend to where he was before. What are you going to say?
That was going to be the proof. 
Remember, even some of the disciples doubted after the resurrection 
But after the ascension, every mouth was shut. If you didn't see it, everyone would think you were mad. 
That was when his siblings believed and joined the disciples to go to the upper room and received the Holy Ghost. 
They now knew that their brother who washed dishes with them, sat with them, was truly God. 

Until we come to terms with who Jesus really is, we can't serve him or work with him. 
As long as to you, he was the son of God without a definition (abstract), how can you serve him? Even the way many call his name will tell you they don't know him.
There is a difference between talking to Him and talking about him
Talking to him, you can't call him "Jesus."
After his resurrection and ascension, nobody ever addressed him as "Jesus".
Can you call your boss or your Governor or President by name like that? 
People call him by his name because they don't know who He is. 

When people say they saw Jesus, I wonder what they really saw, because if you really aw him, there would be a change (Maybe they saw an imagination).

Remember Saul's encounter with him. That was power in manifestation.
 Sail knew that whoever knocked him out like that must be Lord. 
I can tell when you haven't had a real encounter with him, because when you do, your respect and honor for him will certainly change. 

Revelations 1:17
This was the glorified Christ. John saw him and passed out. He fell under the power. Did he get anything? No. But this was power in manifestation. The Master laid his hands on him. 

The laying on of hands is one of the elementary or foundational teachings of Christ. We transfer God's graces and blessings. I told you where we are different...
Our Faith, Calling, Gifts, Graces and Offices. 
But you will never need a greater anointing than the one you got when you were anointed with the holy Ghost. 

Acts 10:38 ... Paul and Isaiah would use two expressions for the same thing in their writings. When you are anointed with the holy Ghost, you have been anointed with power. 
Acts 1:7-8. These were Jesus words. .
When you received the Holy Ghost you received the anointing of the Christ. He empowers you to do the work of the kingdom. You can interprete what others cannot interprete by the wisdom of the spirit. 
What you need is a release of what you have inside you. 
How do you release the power in you?
It's an Act of your Faith. Learn to let that power flow out of you. 
Out of your belly shall flow gushers of living water. 
John 6:63
Can you have confidence in the words that come out of you? 

Christianity is Christ in you. Salvation is You in Christ . 
Nothing in this world should discourage or confuse you when you have the holy Spirit. He is the spirit of Truth and will guide you into all truth. 

Don't let anybody tell you you have to be human. You were human all your life until you became born again. Now that you're born again, you don't need that. You've had enough of it. .
The Lord expects you to be courageous no matter what. 
What life do you want to live as a Christian?
There are certain things you must come to terms with.
The reality of the gospel: Christ Jesus is Real.
There is a oneness with Christ that is far beyond religion. It makes Christianity a living thing. It's not religion. It is a life of Christ made manifest in a human body. Christ in you, the hope of Glory. 
The glory has come. 
If any man be in Christ, he IS a new creature...
There are 3 groups: Children, young men, Father's. 
John classified it well.
Children are always sinning. Their sins needed to forgiven. They make mistakes, they have no clear knowledge. 
Young men are learning to use their faith. They are strong.
To the Father's he says: He that is born of God sinneth not. 

The Bible describes what sin is. 
The air about you is thick with condemnation. 
But now that you are in Christ you are in him. How close is that? Where you are, God is.
If these don't become the contemplations of your heart you are going to be reasoning like men 
1 Corinthians 3:1-3 these are the things that babes do- envying, strife, divisions .
You are not supposed to walk as men. 
Jesus said "Ye are gods". It is true. You are born of God. 
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible...
If you are born of the word, what are you? Isn't Jesus the word? 
There is so much in the word of God.

2 Corinthians 3:1-3
He is calling you the word of God. 
Peter called the Epistles of Paul scripture. 
You are the word of Christ. His epistle. 
You are God's letter to the world. 
Jesus was God's letter to the world. Now you are his letter to the world.
If that is true, how should you live your life? It should be in conformity and consonance with his thoughts. Think his thoughts and speak his words. 

Are you an offspring of emotions or of the spirit? You make your decision. 
Nothing should frighten you in life. All the fright files should have been deleted. 

Being strong in the Lord and in the power of his night is not a Manly thing, it's a Christian thing. In Christ, there is neither male or female. You are a new creature. 
The word of God is a mirror where yousbee your reflection. You see who you are. 
The guy who doesn't do the word forgets what kind of man he is, after looking at the mirror. 
You are not the natural man. You are the spiritual man. (1 Corinthians 2:14)
The things of the spirit are foolishness to the natural man. For example, they will still think everybody gets discouraged. 
Make up your life what life you want to live. 
Live in God's word and live the word. 
If you live in God's word, you will enjoy your life. Not every body may like it, but that's their business. 

You are the manifestation of Christ words. Everyday you are the word of God in action. (Just like Jesus was.)

 This our 25th year, we have produced 9000 articles of Rhapsody 
You can't have this level of consistency without it affecting you 

Rhapsody Review: Walk in the Reality of your Divine Nature.
Let your life be consistent with this new life He gave you. You are not what you were before. The old man with its limitations is gone. 
Sometimes where Christians find themselves reading the wrong books, listening to the wrong voices, they start learning the wrong things. So, you find a lot of Christians who need constant affirmation and strengthening. They feed on it. But you are meant to be affirming the word of God. Not everybody accepts God's teachings.
Phil 4:6-8 There are some people who love to worry in the name of care. They know the Bible says to be anxious for nothing. .But if you know it, you should DO IT. You've heard and memorized it but your are not doing it, else it should produce it's fruit. 
There is a stability of your Faith that you need to have in Christ. You will have rest for your soul. In Christ, there is no worry. You have found your peace. 
Some Christians pray like beggars because they don't know who they are in Christ.
You are complete in Christ. Your origin is divine. Have this consciousness. 
People who worry a lot can't love much because love is God manifested..
When you know God, the first thing that you will recognize is a confidence because of the relationship. 1 John 4:17
There is a manifestation of that Confidence. In the presence of God, you lose all sense of condemnation.
As he is, so are we in this world. 
How is he?
Christianity is NOT the imitation of Christ even though there is the imitation of Christ in Christianity. 
Does God talk to you?
Doesn't his word bring faith, confidence and minister love, patience and forgiveness?
There's something about a Christian. He is a Christ in you person, 24 hours a day. 
Refuse to see yourself from a natural perspective as a mere man. 
God has called us to glory and excellence. 
I have an excellent life. 
I'm an excellent person. 
Some people may not agree with you.

Matthew 16:22. Peter took Jesus aside and started correcting him. He really did not understood who the Christ was. 
Some people came into church as sinners, then they started learning God's word, then they start correcting the Pastor... What he should say and what he should not say. 
You must be humble before God. 
Be humble in the house of God. 
The word of God is law.
Let the word of God shape your opinions. 
Whatever God says should be your opinion. 
For this to work out well for you, you must know the word and not depend on assumptions. 
You can't excel if you are unstable as water. 
James 1:8, 1 Kings 18:21, Rev 3:15-16
Choose to be hot for God.not Lukewarm.
