Rhapsody of Realities for 22 April 2026 — The Anointing of the Christ In You

TODAY'S RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

TOPIC: The Anointing of the Christ In You

SCRIPTURE: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power… (Acts 10:38)."

In Christ, we are distinguished by faith, calling, gifts, grace, and office; yet, it is the same anointing of the Holy Spirit that empowers us all. When you received the Holy Spirit, you were anointed with the anointing of the Christ. You don’t need a different anointing or a greater one; the anointing you received is the very same anointing that made Jesus the Christ. It’s the Holy Ghost Himself.

Acts 10:38 reveals that the Lord Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power. This expression doesn’t imply two separate anointings. In the language of the prophets and the apostles, two phrases may be used to describe the same reality. To be anointed with the Holy Ghost is to be anointed with power.

In Acts 1:8, the Lord Jesus said, “...ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you….” Power comes with the Spirit. When the Holy Ghost came into you, you were endued with divine ability from on high. You were consecrated and separated unto God for His purpose.

Through the Spirit, you now understand the mysteries and realities of the Kingdom. You see and understand life beyond human intellect and perspective because you possess the wisdom of the Spirit. You’re empowered to do the work of God and live the supernatural life.

The same Spirit teaches you, strengthens you, and equips you to walk in the glory and righteousness of Christ, as you fulfill your calling in Him. So, every day, walk in the consciousness of the divine presence and ability of the Spirit at work in you.

Today’s devotional reminds us that the same anointing that was upon Jesus Christ now lives in us through the Holy Spirit. We are not lacking or waiting for more power; we have already been endued with divine ability to live and function supernaturally. As we become conscious of this reality, we walk boldly in our calling, expressing God’s wisdom, power, and presence in our daily lives. The anointing within you is active, live in it, yield to it, and let it produce results through you.

PRAYER/CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for anointing me with the Holy Spirit and with power. I walk in the consciousness of your presence and ability in me. I’m empowered to fulfil my calling and function in the fullness of your grace, producing results that bring you glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proverbs 18:4: The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

John 6:63: The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

John 7:37–38; On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
