RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SUNDAY 21ST FEBRUARY.
“ONE BREAD AND ONE BODY"
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat (John 6:31).
What we read in our theme verse was the Lord Jesus addressing the Jews. In verses 32-33, He continued, “…Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world."
Then in the forty-ninth verse, He further emphasised His point: “Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die” (John 6:49-50). Jesus is the Living Bread; the bread which came down from heaven.
He explained this to His disciples in John 6:51, saying, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Then the Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 10:17, explains how this connects to us. He said, “For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.” If we’re one bread with Him, it therefore means we have the same life, because we’re born of the Word (1 Peter 1:23), just as He is the Word made flesh (John 1:14).
Colossians 1:18 says, “And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church….” The head and the body share the same life. If we share His life, then we also share His health, prosperity, strength and glory. No wonder He calls us, “Partakers of the divine nature”; associates of the God-kind. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as he is, so are we in this world.” You’re of the same stock with Christ. Therefore, walk as He walked—in glory, righteousness, strength and dominion. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Blessed be God! I’m one with the Lord, because I’m born of His living and eternal Word! My ancestry is divine; I’m indomitable, and live above the elements of this world. I reign and rule gloriously in the realm of life, through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

#TALKINGSESSION
Righteous Father, You’re gracious and kind, great and greatly to be praised! You’re love personified. Your mercies are new every morning, and Your faithfulness are forever sure! I love and adore You, most holy One.
You do mighty things and Your grace is upon all who trust in You. The whole earth is filled with Your glory and goodness. I praise and thank You for Your goodness in my life.
Thank You for caring so much for me, for granting me everything I require to live triumphantly on earth.
Christ is glorified in me today, and His righteousness is unveiled through me.
His grace is evident and manifest in my life; I am blessed and highly favoured in all things. The peace of God that surpasses all understanding guards my heart. I have power over crises and I am at peace in prosperity!
I am on top, in charge, and in control of circumstances, because Christ is in me, and He’s my peace. I thank You for Your wisdom that’s at work in my spirit, which is also increased even now through the Word that I’ve received today.
I live out the Word and therefore walk in Your glory, fulfilling Your perfect will and bringing many to righteousness. Thank You, for I am in Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Therefore, I’m innovative, creative, inventive, and ingenious.
I always function with supernatural amplitude of comprehension, thinking excellent thoughts, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
God bless you
