TO THE BIBLE: Romans 8:15 NKJV “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

LET’S TALK I’ve often said that Christianity is not a religion, and there are those who struggle with that truth. But once you grasp the real teachings of Christianity, you realize it isn’t a religion at all.

Consider your relationship with your biological father—would anyone describe that as a religion? Of course not. It’s a living, vital relationship. In the same way, Christianity is the relationship between God the Father and His children.

Before the Lord Jesus came, there was no relationship of this nature. Men were merely worshipers—religious and distant. But Jesus brought us into fellowship, a love-relationship with the Father. He brought us into a real vital relationship with God.

It’s a family relationship. Ephesians 3:14-15 tells us about this family; some are in heaven and some in the earth.

This is why the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus is so profound. He is our Lord and Saviour, yet He is also our Brother. After His resurrection, He said, “‘…I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God’ ” (John 20:17 NKJV).

Before the cross, He called His disciples servants; later, friends. But after His resurrection—the origin of Christianity—He called them brethren. Hebrews 2:11 tells us He is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters.

What a glorious truth! As holy and righteous as He is, He has brought us into God’s family. Let it be a call of duty to bring many into this family relationship with the Lord through soul-winning outreaches.

Pray: Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into such a glorious, intimate, and loving relationship with you. I’m a member of your divine family, one with Christ and an heir of the Kingdom. I live in the consciousness of this oneness, walking in love, dominion, and righteousness. Thank you for calling me your own and making me part of your eternal plan, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

REVELATORY UNDERSTANDING BY THE SPIRIT

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES REVELATORY UNDERSTANDING BY THE SPIRIT BY PASTOR CHRIS OYALHILOME. [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him (Ephesians 1:17 AMPC). In Matthew 16:13-20, Jesus asked His disciples a pressing pair of…

🍔: Do you have OCs? If so, which is your favorite?

We don’t strive for excellence; we do excellent things. Excellence is the nature of our Father, and because we’re born of Him, that same nature finds expression in everything we do. This is what distinguishes you. It lifts you above mediocrity and gives you an advantage that skill, talent, or human connections alone can never secure. Consider Daniel. His elevation above his peers wasn’t the result of politics or superior credentials; it was the Spirit of excellence at work in him.

The Bible says, “Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him” (Daniel 6:3 KJV). That same Spirit—the Holy Spirit— lives in you today. Excellence goes beyond performance; it reflects character, consistency, and distinction in attitude and conduct. God never called you to be average. He called you to show forth His glory. “But ye are a chosen generation… that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9 KJV).

The Word says you were called to glory and virtue—and virtue means excellence (2 Peter 1:3). So, whether you’re studying forexams, learning a skill, serving in church, or helping at home, do it excellently. Don’t say, “I’m just a teenager.” You’re a Kingdom representative. Don’t excuse mediocrity. Give your best—not because others are watching, but because you represent the Kingdom. You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and excellence is part of that righteousness. Every assignment is an opportunity to reveal divine excellence. Be detailed, diligent, dependable, and exceptional.

Proverbs 22:29; Philippians 1:9-10

PRAY

Dear Father, thank you for the spirit of excellence working in me by the Holy Ghost. I function in precision, diligence, and distinction. I represent your Kingdom accurately and gloriously. My life and work are expressions of your excellence. I refuse to settle for average, for greater is He that is in me than he that’s in the world. Amen

TO THE BIBLE – John 9:4 NKJV “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”

LET’S TALK A watchmaker once said that time is the only material he works with that cannot be repaired once wasted. A broken gear can be replaced; a cracked glass can be restored—but a lost moment is gone forever.

In God’s eternal calendar, moments are weighty, pregnant with purpose, and charged with divine opportunity. Heaven values time, and so must you.

Time is one of the most precious resources you have, and the urgency of the hour demands that you use it wisely.

The Lord Jesus Himself emphasized this truth when He said, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4). He revealed the narrow window we’ve been given to fulfil the Father’s purpose.

There’s coming a time when the freedom we now enjoy to preach the Gospel will no longer be available. Doors that are open today may soon be shut. That’s why you must act with urgency.

Evangelism is not something to postpone. Delay can mean eternal loss for someone who needed to hear the truth from you today.

That co-worker, neighbour, or friend may not get another chance. You are their light. You are God’s point of contact to bring them out of darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

The Bible describes those without God and without Christ in this world as hopeless and doomed (Ephesians 2:12). But you are their hope.

This is not the season for complacent Christianity; it’s a time for bold, Spirit-led action. The nations are ripe for harvest, and heaven is counting on you. Be sensitive to the Spirit.

Seize every moment. Let your life be aligned with heaven’s urgency. As the Apostle Paul declared, “Necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16).

The night approaches, but for now, we shine. Every moment matters. Every soul counts. Do all you can—while you can.

Go Deeper 2 Corinthians 6:1-2; 1 Corinthians 9:16

Speak: I recognize the urgency of the Gospel and I act swiftly. I am sensitive to divine timing, and I seize every opportunity to preach, to shine, and to win souls. I will not delay, and I will not be silent. Hallelujah!

The Holy Spirit Within You Is Your Advantage)

TO THE BIBLE: Acts 1:8 NIV “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

LET’S TALK “Ugh… I studied so hard, but this subject is still confusing,” David sighed. Sarah smiled and said, “Before I started reading, I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to help me. Suddenly, everything made sense.”

David looked surprised. “Wait… you mean God can actually help with stuff like schoolwork too?” Sarah nodded. “Of course. He lives in us. That’s our advantage.”

Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of power. When He came to live in you, He brought the dynamic ability to cause changes. That power is not dormant; it’s stirred through prayer, faith, and bold confessions of the Word.

He’s also the Spirit of revelation. He unveils mysteries and brings divine insight to your spirit. He’s the advantage within you.

Through Him, you understand things others can’t grasp. It’s part of the blessings and benefits of praying in the Spirit. When you spend time praying in the Spirit, the wisdom of God rises within you, and answers flood your spirit. Your spirit is enlightened with innovations and solutions, even for your schoolwork, friendships, and personal decisions.

Every time you face a challenge, remember that the Holy Spirit is the advantage within you. Depend on Him for direction, solutions and strength, whether you’re preparing for exams, making choices, or dealing with peer pressure.

As you yield to Him and fellowship with Him, His glory manifests in and around you. He’ll talk with you, walk with you, and reveal God’s heart to you always. You’ll never walk in confusion or fear because His presence provides direction and assurance, even when you’re unsure about your future or feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, the Holy Spirit is the Father at work in you. Through His ministry, you can do the impossible and work the miraculous, at any age and stage in life.

Make time each day to commune with Him; speak to Him from your heart, and listen for His voice in your spirit, just like talking to a close and trusted friend. Acknowledge Him in all that you do, and you’ll always walk in victory.

Pray: Dear Father, I thank you for the fellowship and partnership of the Holy Spirit in my life. I cherish His divine presence and person in me; He’s my guide, my comforter and my ultimate advantage, in my school, home, and everyday life. Even now, your glory, wisdom, power and love are manifest in my life because I walk in the Spirit and I’m led by the Spirit, helping me make wise choices and live boldly for You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You Have Dominion Over Adversity)

TO THE BIBLE: Proverbs 24:10 NKJV “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.”

LET’S TALK Have you ever marveled at how a river cuts through the hardest rock—not by sheer force alone, but by persistent flow? So it is with the Christian who understands the source of their strength.

When you recognize that your power doesn’t come from yourself but from the Almighty God who lives within you, every obstacle becomes a stepping stone, every storm an opportunity to display the power of God.

The Bible declares clearly, “God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect” (2 Samuel 22:33 NKJV). This means your strength is limitless because it is God’s very own strength coursing through you.

1 John 4:4 NKJV assures us, “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.” You hail from God; therefore, your strength is supernatural. You are qualified, sufficient, and able—not by your own ability, but by the sufficiency of God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This truth must settle in your heart.

When you walk in the consciousness of your righteousness in Christ, it produces divine audacity. You no longer cower in the face of sickness, demons, or death.

Instead, you chew up challenges as bread, walking over adversities with boldness. You understand that you stand in Christ’s stead and function in His authority. This confidence is your weapon—your declaration that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Speak with authority. Live with the boldness of divine strength. You are unstoppable because God is your strength! Hallelujah!

Go Deeper Romans 8:35-39; Romans 5:17 AMPC

Pray: Dear Father, thank you for making me righteous and granting me boldness through the Holy Spirit. You’re my strength, and I reign in life by the power of righteousness. I live fearlessly, walking in divine authority and confidence. My words are filled with power, and my actions are full of grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
