Rhapsody Of Realities 5 October 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): True Fulfilment Is In Christ

TOPIC: True Fulfilment Is In Christ Plan (Rhapsody of Realities 5 October 2024)

For in him we live and move and have our being… (Acts 17:28 NIV).

Man was made in the image of God, and that’s why even the natural man possesses incredible capacity and potentials. Throughout history, we’ve witnessed remarkable advancements and innovations that have shaped the world. Consider man’s accomplishments through the ages in technology, arts and sciences.

These achievements are undoubtedly impressive, but there’s more to life than these. We know that despite accomplishing amazing feats, many still find themselves grappling with an underlying sense of emptiness; they create things to make life easier, thinking it will bring happiness, yet they find themselves dissatisfied.

For instance, think of a professor who has acquired immense knowledge, yet he struggles with the meaning of “life.” He has no peace or satisfaction despite his intellectual prowess and tragically decides to end his life. How sad! This stark example illustrates that no matter how much knowledge or success one attains, true fulfilment is in Christ and Christ alone.

Even today, many have gotten to a point where they’re asking, “Why are we here?” They’ve accumulated so much on earth, but they are still searching for fulfilment. Or consider those with so much fame who still find themselves asking, “Where’s the joy?” History is replete with stories of wealthy individuals who, despite their riches, felt empty and unfulfilled.

There was a very wealthy man many years ago who came from a wealthy family. Despite all his riches, he said, “I don’t know why I am not happy. Maybe I should try poverty because that is one thing I have never experienced.” He gave up everything and decided to live as a hermit in isolation. But even then, he didn’t find joy because true fulfilment in life isn’t found in this world but in Christ.

Christ is the source of all joy, all peace, and all fulfilment. Outside of Him, everything is fleeting and meaningless. In Him, you find the meaning of life, the purpose for which you were created, and the true joy that transcends circumstances. In Christ, you find all of God’s goodness. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for being my source of true fulfilment, joy and peace. You’re my reason for being; my satisfaction and pure delight come from my relationship with you by the Holy Spirit. And I thank you for helping me bring many others into the same glorious life of purpose, eternal joy and true fulfilment. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

John 10:10 – The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

Matthew 6:31-33: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Psalm 16:11 – Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.

Luke 12:15 NIV – Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
