Rhapsody Of Realities 9 August 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Things Have Changed

TOPIC: Things Have Changed (Rhapsody of Realities 9 August 2024)

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).

The Lord Jesus sent us to preach the Gospel; the Gospel is good news. It’s not exactly good news when all you know or hear is “God is going to change things for you”; that’s hope. But the good news is that “things have changed.” So, stop hoping for things to change because they’ve already changed! Hallelujah!

This should further help you understand what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” You’re not the weak seeking strength. The Lord Himself has become your strength (Psalm 27:1).

Perhaps you were sickly before you were born again; now, that has changed! Old things are passed away. You’re a new creature in Christ with an incorruptible life that’s sickness-proof.
The same change occurred in your finances. Your state and estate changed when you came into Christ. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” You’ve been made rich. Glory to God!

Furthermore, you don’t have a problem with sin now that you’re in Christ. You’ve been justified to walk in newness of life: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).

The sin-nature was supplanted by God’s nature of righteousness when you were born again. You’re now, not just righteous, but also the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. See yourself in this light. You weren’t merely set free from sin; you have a life, a nature that’s sin-free.

These are some of the realities for the one who’s born again. You didn’t do anything to achieve any of these; it’s simply the result of what Christ has done; and that’s good news. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I continually walk in the reality of my heritage and identity in Christ. I’m righteous, healthy, prosperous and victorious. I walk in the newness of life, enjoying the fullness of the blessings of Christ.

FURTHER STUDY:

2 Corinthians 5:17-21: Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Ephesians 2:4-9: But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
