RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
THURSDAY 24TH DECEMBER.
CELEBRATING THE LIVING AND INCARNATE WORD
...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?(John 14:8-9).
Even though Christmas, which is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, is inarguably the most popular holiday in the world, there’re still many who don’t know who Jesus really is. To some, He’s a great religious leader. But Jesus isn’t a mere religious leader or reformist; He’s Himself, God. You have to study the Word of God to discover this. In John 5:39, Jesus said, “...search the Scriptures, for they testify of me.”
The Scriptures testify of Jesus as Deity. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 says, “And the Word was made (became) flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” This refers to Jesus; so in celebrating Christmas, you’re celebrating the living and incarnate Word.
Study the Bible for yourself, from Genesis to Revelation, and you’ll come to one conclusion: Jesus Christ is God! Recall His words in John 10:30, “I and my Father are one.” In our opening verse, He said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” He’s one with the Father.
You’ve got to come to that point in your life where you recognise that Jesus is the fullness of Deity. The Bible declares that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him bodily (Colossians 1:19, 2:9). He’s the complete embodiment of Deity. This is the “Christ” of Christ-mas; we’re celebrating God who came to us in the body of Jesus. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Dear Father, I’m grateful for the special and extraordinary life I received when I believed and received the Word. I celebrate the living and incarnate Word today. Now, He’s living in and through me! I’m the reproduction of the Word, and my life is the expression of your will, thoughts, ideas, and opinions, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that my heart and mouth are filled with words of power, even now, to cause changes in my world and the regions beyond.
I am a custodian of divine verities; thus, my future is that of success, progress, and prosperity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I reign as a king in this life, altering situations and circumstances in my favour.
I make decrees and they’re established, for the Word of God on my lips is God talking. I am royalty. I am destined to rule and reign in life.
I dwell continually in peace, divine health, and in God’s grace. As I look into the mirror of God, I am transformed into the same image that I see, from glory to glory, and from victory to victory.
I am thoroughly nourished and fortified for the victorious life by the Word, through study and meditation. I make progress by the Spirit, and my profiting by the Word is unstoppable.
As I grow in, and by the Word, the realities of the Kingdom are unveiled to me by the Holy Spirit; the glories of the Kingdom are revealed in me.
I am anointed and graced to take the message of Christ’s salvation to my world, making known the mysteries of our glorious Kingdom, touching lives, and bringing the oppressed out of bondage and darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
I am one with the Father; an embodiment of Christ, the effulgence of His glory, and the express image of His person. My life is full of beauty and excellence because as Jesus is, so am I in this world. Glory to God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
