RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SUNDAY 23RD MAY.
VICTORIOUS BY THE WORD
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come (2 Timothy 3:1).
In Ezra Chapter 6, the children of Israel decided to build the house of God upon their return from exile. The Bible tells us that as they built it, they prospered. Ezra 6:14 tells us how they prospered: “… they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo....”
The latter part says, “And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.” This is profound, instructive and enlightening.
They prospered in their work, they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and the instructions of Kings Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes, who were kings of Persia at different times. Those prophets caused it to happen through their message. They brought them the Word of God.
The ministry of the Word is so important in our lives; it’s integral to every success. That’s why we bring the Word to you every day through this devotional, to strengthen you, especially in these dark days. We’re not moved by what’s happening in the world today, because we know that in all these things, we’re more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). We prevail by the Word. Our glory, victories and success were preordained before the foundation of the world.
We’re aware that the current imbroglio around the world is the handiwork of Satan. He tries to weaken the nations and their economies. But God never leaves you stranded. He keeps bringing you His Word to guide, encourage and strengthen you. Through the ministry of the Word, the wisdom and skill you require to be victorious are imparted to you.
Keep learning and meditating on the Word of God; it’ll grow mightily in you and prevail. You’ll be a wonder to your world, dominating circumstances, living above Satan and the elements of this world.
CONFESSION
Thanks be unto God, who always causes me to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of His knowledge by me in every place. I have a life of consistent and continuous victory in Christ, for God has raised me, and made me to sit together with Christ in heavenly places, with dominion over crises, the world and Satan. Blessed be God!

#TALKINGSESSION
Dear Lord Jesus, I worship and extol Your majesty, for You’re the great King; the Monarch of the universe; the mighty God. I worship You from my spirit for making me an excellent person, and decorating my life with Your glory.
I extol Your majesty and praise You for Your blessings and wondrous works in my life. I am forever grateful to be born with Your nature, and life in my spirit; I worship You for this awesome privilege. Hallelujah!
I thank You for the oneness I have with You! Being justified by faith; acquitted and declared righteous, I have peace with You; Your righteousness has produced peace in me, and for me in Your presence; peace with prosperity! I revel in the divine harmony, bliss and joy that You’ve brought me into.
Thank You for this awesome privilege. Daily, I fulfil my calling, ministry and responsibility as the light of the world by expressing Your righteousness, and impacting my world with the Gospel of Your grace.
I give meaning, direction, beauty, glory, and excellence to the lives of men in my world, turning them from the power of Satan unto You, and from darkness into light.
I thank You for the extraordinary authority vested in me, to rule and reign as a king in life. I’ve become a dispenser of Your goodness; I manifest Your glory, splendour and wisdom; Your righteousness is expressed through me today, and always in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
God bless you
