Rhapsody of Realities Thursday August 6, 2026 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES 6 AUGUST 2026 TOPIC: THE ESSENCE OF THE NEW BIRTH
SCRIPTURE: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me… (Galatians 2:20).
Rhapsody of Realities 7th August 2026 – MESSAGE
The New Birth isn’t a moral upgrade or a spiritual enhancement of the human life; it’s the impartation of a new life that replaces the old. Christianity isn’t about refining the natural man; it’s the introduction of the divine life that supplants the human life.
The Lord Jesus made it unequivocal: “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). To be born again is to receive a new origin. It’s the birth of a new creation. The life you received in Christ doesn’t coexist with the human life you were born with; it supplants it.
That’s why the Apostle Paul declares, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me….” The old identity, sustained by human life, has been brought to an end. Now, the life that’s operative in you is the God-life: “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11).
You don’t have two natures functioning side by side You have one nature—the divine nature. This aligns with 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.”
Many live below this truth because they’re more conscious of the human life than the divine life within them. But when you understand that the God-life in you has replaced the old life, your thinking changes. You no longer approach life as a mere man; you function from your divine nature, living in righteousness, dominion, and victory without struggle.
This is the essence of the New Birth—God in you, expressing Himself fully, naturally, and consistently through you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the reality of my new life in Christ. I rejoice, knowing that the human life has been supplanted by your divine life in me. I live in the consciousness of this truth, expressing your nature, walking in righteousness, and manifesting your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
