TODAY'S RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
TOPIC: Called to Live the Divine Life
SCRIPTURE: "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17)."
I’ve often said that Christianity is not the imitation of Christ. There’s some imitation of Christ in Christianity, but Christianity itself is Christ in you, His life lived through you. We act like Him because His nature is in us. We walk like Him because His Spirit lives in us. We’re full of His glory, power, righteousness, and dominion because we have His life.
2 Corinthians 3:3 says, “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” The epistle of Christ means the Word of Christ. That means you’re His message to the world. You’re the Word made flesh; as He is, so are you.
Act out your divine life! The Bible says you’re the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). You’re more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). You’re blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). You’re complete in Him (Colossians 2:10). Your origin is divine; you hail from Him: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Live with this consciousness every day. Christianity is a life of glory, power and fellowship with the Spirit. God talks to you; His Word inspires faith, confidence, love, patience, and courage in you. Today, for you, is an opportunity to express Christ, to manifest the realities of the Kingdom.
Refuse to see yourself from a natural standpoint; you’re an associate of the God-kind, a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). You’re not a human being but a God-being. It helps you understand why the Psalmist declared in prophecy, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High” (Psalm 82:6).
The Lord Jesus reiterated the same truth in John 10:34-35. You’ve been brought into life and immortality and called to glory and excellence. This is your life; it’s the divine life! Blessed be God!

Today’s devotional reminds us that Christianity is not about trying to copy Christ from a distance, but living from the reality that His life is already in us. We’ve been called to a divine life, one of boldness, righteousness, victory, and fellowship with the Spirit. When we become conscious of who we are in Him, we stop living by human limitations and begin to express His nature effortlessly. Every day is an opportunity to manifest His glory, walk in His power, and reveal His presence to the world.

PRAYER/CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for calling me to a life of glory, excellence and power. Christ is alive in me—His wisdom, strength and righteousness are fully expressed through me. I refuse to see myself from a natural perspective; I live the divine life, manifesting your life and glory to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
2 Peter 1:3–4, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
John 10:34–35, Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
1 John 4:4, Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
