RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY, 31ST JULY. https://wp.me/p9v28c-KS SIN IS NO LONGER A FACTOR. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). Some Christians make statements like, “As long as you’re in this body, you’re prone to sin,” but that’s not what the Word teaches. To believe and talk that way is to derogate the salvation Jesus brought to us, and denigrate its power. 1 John 2:1 says, “MY little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. AND IF ANY MAN SIN, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” The underlined portion of the preceding verse lets us know that it’s not compulsory to sin. Part of it says, “…if any man sin,” not “…when any man sin.” Sin is no longer a factor. The Bible says, “…whosoever is born of God sinneth not…” (1 John 5:18). It is possible not to sin, otherwise, the Apostle John wouldn’t have said so. You need to understand how God sees you, following the redempt

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY, 30TH JULY. http://bit.ly/2dZqtLQ A NEW CREATURE WITH A NEW LIFE. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). When you were born again, you were born and baptized into Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:13 says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body…”you were baptized into the body of Christ, a new man, a new creature with a new life. The King James Version uses the word “creature,” which is a lot more accurate than the word “creation” as used in some other translations. Being a “new creature” means you’re one of a kind; a special or peculiar being. But that’s not all; the latter part of our opening scripture says, “…old things are passed away; BEHOLD, all things are become new.”The underlined word, “behold” means a lot, even though not so many pay attention to its importance in that verse. It’s a word that calls your attention to a truth: God wants you

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SUNDAY, 29TH JULY. http://bit.ly/2dZqtLQ IN REMISSION WE HAVE JUSTIFICATION. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness (remission) of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39). We learnt in our previous study that what we have in Christ isn’t forgiveness, but remission of sins. Some Bible translators weren’t sure when to use the word “forgive” and when to use the word “remit.” So in different translations, they render the Greek word “aphesis” as “forgiveness” and also as “remission.” For example, the King James Version translated it as forgiveness instead of remission as seen in our opening verse. Remission is the complete removal of sin. In the Greek Septuagint, there’s a word used in Leviticus 25:10 that’s akin to remission; it’s the word “liberty,” which means “release.” Part of that verse says, “

Romans 15:4 Please read: 2 Kings 5:20-27 MESSAGE Of all the vessels in God’s house, golden vessels stand out. Apostle Paul was such a vessel; God performed uncommon miracles through him (Acts 9:11-12). If you are a silver or wooden vessel, you can move up to becoming a golden vessel by taking your personal consecration to the limits. Loving God supremely, obeying God in everything, and living for God’s maximum pleasure, are the other ways to stand out as a vessel in the house of God.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SATURDAY, 28TH JULY. REDEMPTION AND REMISSION. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7). “Redemption” in the verse above, is the Greek word, “apolutrosis” and it means riddance. In Christ, we have our riddance. He rids or plucks you out of trouble, and rids your life of anything that’s wrong. So, you can say, “I have my riddance in Christ, no matter what!” That’s redemption. It doesn’t matter what mess you may think you’re in, you can trust Him to get you out. In Christ Jesus, we also have remission of sins. The King James translation uses the word “Forgiveness” of sins, but the Greek word is “aphesis” and it means remission; the total removal or blotting away of sins. God did much more than forgive us; He blotted out our sins. There’s no trace or record of your sins; it’s as though you never sinned. That’s why it’s wrong for a Christian to keep a consciousness of sin. Some are

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY, 27TH JULY. HE OPENS YOUR UNDERSTANDING. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures (Luke 24:45). The Bible says in John 20:21-22, “Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” This was the same account that Luke reported in our opening verse, but he wasn’t an eyewitness when Jesus ministered to  the disciples. John was an eyewitness and he tells us in actuality what happened. So, how exactly did Jesus open the understanding of His disciples? We’re not told anything happened to them outwardly when “…he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (John 20:22). So, how did Luke know that the breathing on them by Jesus was what opened their understanding? Job 32:8 (ASV) says, “But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them unde

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES THURSDAY, 26TH JULY. http://bit.ly/2dZqtLQ THE IMPORTANCE OF CHRIST’S SUFFERING  Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:10-11). Luke 24:46-47 says, “...Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” The crucifixion of Christ was necessary for the salvation of man; salvation couldn’t have been accomplished otherwise. Our opening scripture talks about the glory that follows the sufferings of Christ. Part of that glory is the salvation of man. Salvation is an all-encompassing word that encapsulates all that God wrought for u

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY, 25TH JULY. http://bit.ly/2dZqtLQ NO ORDINARY LIFE And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life (1 John 5:11-12). Eternal life is the nature of God, and the Bible says this life is in Christ Jesus. This is the life Jesus referred to when He said, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself” (John 5:26). Jesus had that life, which He received from the Father. It’s translated “eternal life” in English because of the limitation of the English language; this is the “God-life” or “the God-kind of life.” There’s the animal life; there’s the plant life; there’s the human life, and then there’s the God-life: the life of Deity. Anyone who has the Son of God, has this life, and anyone who doesn’t have the Son of God doesn’t have eternal life. That’s what we read in our opening scrip

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY, JULY 23RD JESUS MADE REMISSION OF SINS  POSSIBLE   Be it known unto you therefore, brethren,  that through this man is proclaimed  unto you remission of sins: and by him  every one that believeth is justified from  all things, from which ye could not be  justified by the law of Moses  (Acts 13:38-39 ASV). Before Jesus came, there were sacrifices and  offerings for the atonement of sins in the Old  Testament. The Jews always had to offer sacrifices year  after year for sins. These involved the killing of animals;  several bulls and goats, but the Bible says in Hebrews  10:4, “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and  of goats should take away sins.”  The blood of bulls and goats couldn’t provide  remission, but when Jesus came, with one sacrifice,  He perfected forever all those who are called in Him.  He offered Himself once, not for the forgiveness of our  sins, but for the total blotting away or remission of sins.  (Hebrews 9:14).

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SUNDAY, 22ND JULY. YOUR NEW LIFE STARTED WITH THE RESURRECTION Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). The new creation didn’t come from the cross, but from the resurrection of Jesus Christ; we’re the fruits of His resurrection. When Jesus died, you died with Him. When He was buried, you were buried with Him. When He resurrected, you also arose with Him as a new man, a new species. Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Your new life started with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The old life has been supplanted by this new life, the divine life. Understand that there’s no connection between the new creation and your past. In fact, the so-called past doesn’t exist. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if
