TODAY'S RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
TOPIC: A Life Giver — Radiant, Lambent, and Divine
SCRIPTURE: "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45)."
When you were born again, an actual change took place in your spirit. It wasn’t a mere transformation of your mindset or a shift in your way of thinking. No! You were literally reborn, recreated by the Holy Spirit. That’s why the Scriptures affirm, “...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is a fundamental truth.
Whereas the natural man, the man that’s not born again, is of the earth and a mere living soul, you’re a life-giving spirit. You bear the image of the heavenly: “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly” (1 Corinthians 15:47-48). You’re a heavenly man. Hallelujah! You’re not of this world.

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly” (1 Corinthians 15:47-48). You’re a heavenly man. Hallelujah! You’re not of this world.
Your life came from the Lord Jesus Christ, the
second and last Adam. He’s the head of a new race, the new creation.
You’re taxonomically different from the natural man. For example,
despite sharing the same earthly parents, if you’re born again and you
have a sibling who isn’t, you both belong to completely different
realms. Outwardly, you may look the same, but in the Spirit, you are
worlds apart.
The one who isn’t born again is called darkness while you are called light. The former absorbs light, you radiate it. You emit light, for you’re the light of the world, just as the Lord Jesus is called the true light (John 1:9). As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).
Live in the consciousness of your divine origin and identity in Christ. You’re a life giver—radiant, lambent, and divine. Walk in this truth!

PRAISEJAMZBLOG INSIGHT
Today’s devotional reminds us of the profound reality of our identity in Christ as new creations who carry the life of God within us. Being born again means we are no longer limited by the natural realm, but we now express the divine nature of God through our thoughts, words, and actions. As life-givers in Christ, our presence should bring light, hope, and transformation to those around us. When we live with the consciousness of who we are in Christ, we radiate His glory and reflect His nature in every aspect of our daily lives.
PRAYER/CONFESSION
I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus; I’m not of this world. I have the life of God in me. I’m full of grace and truth. I’m a life-giver, radiant, lambent and divine. I walk in the reality of my heritage and identity in Christ, impacting my world with the glory of God. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
1 John 4:17: Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
Ephesians 5:8: For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven. Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.
