Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD Theme: Victory And Dominion In Christ Jesus Date: Sunday August 17th, 2014 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children (Hosea 4:6). God said through the prophet Hosea that His people are destroyed, defeated and broken because they lack knowledge. Meaning that, their bane isnt that they lack faith or are not making the right effort; the reason they arent walking in victory and dominion is their ignorance. This, therefore, means that as Gods children, we must keep making conscious efforts to learn and be taught Gods Word. If you have more accurate knowledge of the Word, youll live in victory and dominion every day of your life, irrespective of any adversity. Some people think that living in constant victory and dominion isnt possible, and theyre wrong. To hold such a belief is to ignore what Jesus came to do. He came to give us the life and nature of God: the transcendent life. In John 10:10 (NIV), He said, The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. He didnt come to establish another religion, because the world already had enough of them before He came, and Christianity is not a religion. The Amplified translation says, He came that we might have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance-to the full, till it overflows. Perhaps you never thought its Gods idea for you to enjoy your life; now you know! But how can you enjoy life when things are not right with you? How can you enjoy life if youre ignorant of all that Hes provided for you in Christ? This is why you must have a personal relationship with God and His Word, so you can know how to live in absolute victory every day. The Word of God is able to build you up, and cause you to live the kind of life God desires for you: a life above struggles and pains; a life of glory, righteousness, and dominion in Christ Jesus. PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for giving me a life of glory, success and victory. Daily, I search the Scriptures and appropriate into my life what it says concerning me in Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen.
