*Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional* _Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Monday, June 22nd 2026_ *TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR BODY* _...Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost...and ye are not your own?_ *(1 Corinthians 6:19)* Did you know that your body isn’t yours? It belongs to Jesus Christ; you were bought with a price. The Bible says, *“...therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's”* (1 Corinthians 6:20). Even though your body belongs to God, He has entrusted it to you. You’re the custodian of your body; you’re responsible for it. Many haven’t understood this. They think God is responsible for their body and whatever happens in it. They assume that if they serve God well enough, He’ll automatically take care of their health. But that’s not how it works. You’re responsible for keeping your body in health. Faithfulness isn’t the same as faith. You can be faithful in serving God and still allow sickness in your body because you haven’t taken your place of dominion. You’re a partaker of the divine nature; you’re not ordinary. You have authority over Satan, sickness, disease, infirmity, and death. So, refuse to allow sickness or disease gain entrance into your body. Don’t permit it. If you notice symptoms, don’t panic, don’t cry, and don’t accept them. More importantly, don’t beg God to take them away. You’ve been given authority. Exercise it. He said in Matthew 10:8, *“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils….”* Notice that He told you to do it. Don’t beg God to take sickness away from you; rather, destroy it with your faith-filled words. Put your hand on your body and say, *“In the Name of Jesus Christ, I command this sickness to get out of my body. This body belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ, and I refuse to allow any sickness in it.”* When you speak like that in the Name of Jesus, that condition has no choice but to go. God is pleased with your faith. The Bible says, *“But without faith it is impossible to please him…”* (Hebrews 11:6). You don’t cry over sickness; you exercise authority over it. Use the Word to keep your body in health; this is God’s will for you: *“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”* (3 John 1:2). *CONFESSION* _I have the life of God in me, and it fully inundates my body. Sickness, disease and infirmity have no place in me because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I walk in health, strength and perfection. Hallelujah!_ *FURTHER STUDY:* *Proverbs 4:20-22* My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. *21* Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. *22* For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. *Romans 8:10-11* And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. *11* But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. *1 Peter 2:24 NIV* “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” *1 Year Bible Reading Plan :* Acts 10:1-23 & Ezra 4-6 *2 Year Bible Reading Plan :* 2 Corinthians 7:9-16 & Isaiah 9 https://herald.healingstreams.tv/DEBBYK

*Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional* _Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Saturday, June 13th 2026_ *HE BROUGHT US OUT TO BRING US IN* _And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers_ *(Deuteronomy 6:23)* There’s always divine intentionality behind God’s actions. When He brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, it wasn’t to abandon them in the wilderness. The exodus or *“coming out”* of Egypt was never the end goal; it was the pathway to their inheritance. The *“bringing in”* was the ultimate purpose. His purpose for bringing them out was to take them in! This foreshadows what God accomplished for you in Christ Jesus. Salvation is far more than deliverance from sin; it’s the entrance into righteousness. It’s induction into liberty and dominion. Colossians 1:12-13 says, *“Giving thanks unto the Father…Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”* Notice He didn’t bring you out of darkness and leave you at the mercy of Satan and the circumstances of life; rather, He brought you into His marvelous light, into a life of ever-increasing glory and unending victories. So, it’s not enough to celebrate that He brought you out of sin or out of darkness; the real deal is where He brought you into, where you are now. He brought you out of pain, sickness, disease and infirmities that He might bring you into health. He brought you out of poverty that He might bring you into wealth. In Acts 26:17-18, we see this divine pattern again; it says, *“Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God….”* He emphasizes the transition into something higher, a divine relocation. He’s brought you into Himself; you’re in Him now. You live in the realm of divine authority, love, glory and power. Therefore, reign and rule in righteousness, dominating the forces of this world. Blessed be God! *CONFESSION* Ihttps://https:// live in righteousness, health, abundance, wisdom and dominion. I’m in Christ, and I’ve embraced my inheritance in Him. I reign in life, fully aware of my translation into the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. Thank you heavenly Father, for the redemptive work of Christ and the glorious life it has ushered me into, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._ *FURTHER STUDY:* *‭‭Deuteronomy 6:23 AMPC* And He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in to give us the land which He swore to give our fathers. *‭‭1 Peter 2:9* But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: *‭‭Colossians 1:12-13 NIV* and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
