RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FOR TODAY.
Rhapsody of Realities daily devotional by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Love World Ministry Inc. for today is here. Digest the word of the lord and pray believing in his promise.
The topic of Rhapsody of Realities for Sunday 26th December 2021 Is “Jesus Is The Real Power”
Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 2:14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 26TH DECEMBER 2021
The word “destroy” in the verse above is from the Greek “katargeo”, and it means “to bring to nought.” That means Satan has been brought to nothing; he was made powerless—he and his cohorts
of hell. Colossians 2:15 (Conybeare) says, “He DISARMED the Principalities and the Powers [which
fought against Him….” The principalities and powers have been disarmed by Jesus. Hallelujah!
The Phillips New Testament puts it thus: “And then having drawn the sting of all the powers ranged against us, He exposed them, shattered, empty and defeated, in His final glorious triumphant act!” He
exposed them; He got them stripped and took away from them all of their armour—everything of value!
Blessed be God!
That hasn’t changed; they’re in that condition till today: Disarmed! Crushed! Shattered! Exposed and
defeated! The devil we’re dealing with today is crushed and dethroned. 1 Corinthians 2:6 talks about “…the dethroned Powers who rule this world” (Moffatt translation). In the spirit, they’re dethroned even
though they seem to rule this world; the real power in the world today is the Name of Jesus!
Now you can understand why the apostles, in their day, were fearless and used the Name of Jesus fearlessly. It didn’t matter the persecution they faced; they were dauntless because they knew what power was really in office. They knew they were backed by the real power—Jesus Christ!
It’s the same in our day. We’re bold and confident in, and through Him. In His Name, we tame this world and keep Satan and his demons in subjection to us. In John 16:33 WEB, Jesus said, “…Cheer up! I’ve overcome the world”; when He did it, we were in Him. We overcame Satan, the world and its systems. His Name has all authority. God has decreed that at His Name, every knee should bow—things and beings in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. And that every tongue should confess His Lordship, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). Nothing and no one can stand against that Name. Thus, in celebrating Christmas, we’re proclaiming His victory, glory, power and dominion over the nations. The whole world belongs to Him. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
Jesus is Lord over the nations; the whole world belongs to Him who brought life and immortality
to light, having crushed, shattered and defeated Satan and the principalities of hell and darkness. The
Name of Jesus is named upon the nations, and His righteousness reigns in the earth and in the hearts of men. Amen!
