*CHRIST—“THE GOD-MAN”* *PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME* *WEDNESDAY, 19TH FEBRUARY 2025* _*And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name (John 20:30-31).*_ From our theme scripture, we see the purpose for which the Holy Scriptures were written: it’s so we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This is one of the most amazing truths revealed to us in the entire Word of God. But then, what does the expression “Jesus is the Christ” really mean? What’s the meaning of Christ? First, understand that Christ is the English translation of the Greek word “Christos,” which is itself the translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah.” But beyond that, the real meaning of Christ is “the God-man,” that is, God in human flesh. It’s the reason Christ is also called the Son of God. When we say Jesus is the Son of God, it doesn’t mean God gave birth to Jesus in the same way human fathers give birth to sons, like Mr. Scott giving birth to a son, called Scott Jr. No! “Son of God” in Scripture means God in human form. That’s why when Jesus declared that He was the Son of God, the religious leaders accused Him of blasphemy. They believed that Jesus declared Himself to be equal with God. Similarly, in John 10:30, Jesus stated, _*“I and my Father are one,”*_ which prompted the Jewish leaders to pick up stones to stone Him. They argued that He, being a man, made Himself God. Due to their ignorance of God’s Word and of who Jesus really is, they couldn’t accept His divine identity and the implications of His claims. But Jesus wasn’t making Himself equal with God; He is Himself God—God in human flesh. This is the knowledge that God wants you to have, and He tells us what will happen when you believe this: you’ll have life through his Name. What life? The God-life! Through Jesus Christ, you have the divine nature; this eternal life supplants the human life with which you were born of your parents. You’re now an associate of the God-kind—a God-man—for as He (Jesus) is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). Glory to God! *PRAYER* *Dear Father, thank you for the blessing of eternal life through Jesus Christ. I believe He is the Christ, the Son of God, through whom I have and live the God-life. I’m victorious, complete and preserved in Him. My life is a manifestation of the organic and existential attributes of deity, and I manifest your glory, wisdom, righteousness and grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.* *FURTHER STUDY* *||* *John 1:12-13* But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. *||* *||* *1 John 5:11-12* And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. *||* *||* *1 Timothy 3:16* And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. *||* TO READ DAILY ARTICLES & DOWNLOAD RHAPSODY APP=https://read.rhapsodyofrealities.org/rin/esenamdotse163737 *SCRIPTURE READING* *1-Year Bible Reading Plan* Mark 4:1-20 & Leviticus 15 *2-Year Bible Reading Plan* Matthew 15:29-39 & Genesis 50 EXCERPT FROM:Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional

*||RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL||* *||♥️|| WE RELATE TO GOD FROM OUR SPIRITS ||♥️||* *|| There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). ||* Thursday 20th, February. Pastor Chris There’s a misconception that some people have about how men and women connect with God in worship. They assume that men tend to focus on songs about power, while women, being more passionate, prefer singing love songs to the Lord. But such thinking is carnal and misses the deeper spiritual truth. When it comes to our relationship with God, we relate to Him from our spirits, not on the basis of physical gender. Paul made this clear when he said, “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son...” (Romans 1:9). We are spirit beings, created in the image of God, and when we serve God, we do so from our spirits. In Christ, our identity transcends gender. Our true identity is in our spirits, and in that realm, there is no distinction. Therefore, in worship, your connection with God is about your spirit reaching out to His Spirit in fellowship. The Lord Jesus said, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24). The outward gender is part of the earthly body, but we’re new creations, living and serving God from our spirits, where gender distinctions have no place: Galatians 3:26-28, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Also, the Bible says that "...the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:52). At the resurrection, we will be transformed and no longer be bound by physical distinctions like gender. Hallelujah! *||PRAYER||* *|| Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of who I am in Christ. I know that in my spirit, I’m a new creation, made in your image. I serve you with all my heart, with passion, power and love, knowing that my worship transcends the physical. Thank you for making me inextricably one with you, in Jesus' Name. Amen. ||* *||FURTHER STUDY||* *|| John 4:23-24 NIV ||* Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." *|| Romans 1:9 ||* For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; *|| Galatians 3:26-28 AMPC ||* For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. [27] For as many [of you] as were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union and communion with Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah] have put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ. [28] There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. *|| 1 YEAR READING PLAN ||* Mark 4:21-41 Leviticus 16-18 *|| 2 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN ||* Mathew 16:1-12 Exodus 1 *|| Thank You For Studying And Sharing With Others, God Bless You, HAPPY NEW YEAR ||*
