RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SATURDAY 7TH NOVEMBER.
DISCOVER JESUS AND YOUR SEARCH IS OVER
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
Man doesn’t know reality until he finds Jesus, the Son of the living God. But who exactly is Jesus, the man of Galilee? First, He’s the Word- incarnate. This is an amazing truth. Think about it: Your word is the expression of who you are. It’s the expression of your views, opinions, thoughts, emotions, and ideas.
In the same way, the Word of God is the totality of God’s thoughts, ideas, opinions, will, and emotions. John 1:14 NKJV tells us that God’s Word was personified, and the result was the man, Jesus: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us....”
His laughter was God laughing; His smiles were the smiles of God. When He stretched out His hand, that was God stretching out His hand. When He loved, it was God’s love manifested. Everything He did was the expression of God.
Secondly, He’s the character and essence of God. The Bible tells us something beautiful about Him in Hebrews 1:3: “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person....” He’s the perfect personification of the abstract idealisation of God.
In the world, the term “God” doesn’t convey a person; it conveys an idea. God doesn’t make sense to the human mind, because they can’t find or define Him. The Bible, however, presents Jesus as God’s perfect imprint, the icon of the unseen God.
Thirdly, Jesus Christ is the glory of the Father. He’s the outshining of the Father’s glory, the radiance of the Father.
The world doesn’t understand why we can be so passionate about the man, Jesus. Until you know Jesus, God will only be an idea to you. Your search, however, stops when you meet this awesome, glorious, Lord of heaven and earth. That’s why we tell people, “Discover Jesus!” When you discover Him, you discover reality; you discover life.
CONFESSION
As Jesus is, so am I; I’m one with Him! In Him, I live, and move and have my being. I have His righteousness, life, and nature in me. I’m the effulgence of His glory and the express image of His person. Therefore, I think, act, and live as His perfect representation. Hallelujah!

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that I am the workmanship of God in Christ Jesus; I am righteous, holy and sanctified! I hail from God and I am divinely powered to make great things happen in my world and in the regions beyond.
I am anointed to preach the Gospel with results. Everywhere I go, I express and manifest the life of Christ in righteousness, excellence, glory, wisdom, and power!
I reign by grace today, through righteousness,
because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death and its debilitating influences. Hallelujah!
The nature and glory of Christ are in me; therefore, I can do all things through Christ who energises me. No circumstance or situation is insurmountable to me, for Christ is alive in me.
I am His glory just as He is my glory. Hallelujah! I am graced by the Holy Ghost to be outstanding in everything I do, and even now, that grace is activated in me to take that leap of faith and bring in new ideas and innovations that will transform the lives of millions around the world positively.
My mind is anointed to think right, being the mind of Christ. I think excellent thoughts, and I only see pictures of excellence, success, victory, and abundance.
I have direction for life and my mind is focused on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
