TODAY'S RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
TOPIC: The Reality of Ressurection
SCRIPTURE: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8)."
There are those who preach reincarnation, claiming that after death, a person returns in another body, perhaps as an animal, bird, insect, or even another human. But this teaching is unscriptural. The Bible teaches resurrection, not reincarnation. Resurrection is life after death, but it’s the same person who’s brought back to life by God's power. That is the truth.
Reincarnation is a lie, a false doctrine, but resurrection is God's reality. It’s interesting how many believe in what they can’t prove. Christianity can be proven. The resurrection of Christ proves His deity. Romans 1:4 says He was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
That’s why His Name still has power today. Whatever He accomplished before He died, His Name continues to do today. The Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Furthermore, the Bible says God has appointed a day of judgment, confirmed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ (read Acts 17:31).

The
resurrection is the undeniable proof that the Lord Jesus is the
appointed Judge. Believing in this truth excludes the idea of
reincarnation. Some misunderstand the words of the Master about John the
Baptist, calling him “Elijah.” He didn’t mean Elijah reincarnated as
John the Baptist; rather, He meant that John the Baptist came in the
power and spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:13-17). If Elijah himself were to
appear again, he would still be Elijah, not John.
The Bible also speaks of two witnesses who will minister in Israel during the last days, and many believe one of them will be Elijah, since he never died but was taken alive to heaven (2 Kings 2:11). When he appears, it will not be a reincarnation, but Elijah himself manifesting again according to God’s plan.
How about Moses? The Bible says he died and God Himself buried him (Deuteronomy 34:5-6). Yet, he appeared with Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration with the Lord Jesus (Matthew 17:1-3). That wasn’t reincarnation either; it was Moses in a glorified, transfigured body, demonstrating the resurrection power of God. Hallelujah!

PRAISEJAMZBLOG INSIGHT
Today’s devotional emphasizes the foundational truth of the Christian faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the ultimate proof of His divinity and eternal authority. Unlike false teachings that promote uncertainty, the resurrection assures us of the continuity of life and God’s power over death. This truth strengthens our confidence in Christ, reminding us that our faith is rooted in a living Savior who remains the same forever. As believers, embracing the reality of the resurrection empowers us to live with hope, boldness, and the assurance of eternal life in Him.
PRAYER/CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for the assurance of eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ. I live in the reality of His resurrection power and look forward with joy to the glorious rapture of the Church and resurrection of the saints. Thank you for the truth of your Word that has made me free to live joyfully in the love, joy, peace, and dominion of your righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
John 11:25-26: "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
1 Corinthians 15:12-20: Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52: Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
