RHAPSODY OF REALITIES 14 JANUARY 2026 DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME
Rhapsody of Realities Devotional – 14 January 2026, Wednesday Daily Message
TOPIC: Chosen To Rule The World
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world… (John 15:19).
The Lord Jesus said you’re in the world but not of the world. You’ve been handpicked by God and separated from the world to live the divine life, to live and play by a different set of rules. You’re a child of the Kingdom; therefore, you’re to live in this world with Kingdom mentality. Rule and reign over the systems, elements, structures and circumstances of this world.
This world is subject to you; the words of the Lord Jesus in John 16:33 make this very clear. He said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” When He overcame the world, you were in Him. He overcame the world, not for Himself but for you.
Therefore, in Him, you’ve overcome the world and the god of this world, Satan. You’re superior to Satan, his cohorts of darkness, and the corrupting influences of this age. You belong to a royal class. You’ve been brought into a higher realm of existence, with dominion and excellence.
When others complain about their circumstances, you bring solutions. You’re not part of the crowd demanding change; you’re the one effecting changes through your words and prayers. You have a Father who’s greater than all, and He lives in you; you represent Him. Therefore, never think or talk like the ordinary man.
Understand who you are; your calling is to reveal God’s excellence and righteousness to your world. You’ve been set as a light in a dark world. You’re Heaven’s best; chosen, royal and supremely blessed: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC).
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for choosing me out of the world and setting me apart for your glory. I’m conscious of my divine origin and heavenly calling. I function from the realm of glory, shining your light and dispensing your grace to my world. I live as royalty, revealing the beauty and excellence of the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
