Rhapsody of Realities Saturday 5th April 2025 Devotional Message By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy)
Rhapsody of Realities Saturday 5th April 2025 Devotional TOPIC is The Influence of Godly Heritage
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children (Isaiah 54:13).
There’s a huge difference between those who honour the Lord and those who don’t, and this difference extends to their children. Let’s examine this from the Scriptures. Isaiah 49:25 says, “But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.”

What a commitment from God! He promises to fight for those who honour Him, contending with those who trouble them and saving their children. This promise is reinforced in Isaiah 54:13. It says, “And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.” This is God’s assurance: children of those who honour Him are taught by the Lord, and they experience great peace.
What about those who don’t know God? Psalm 58:3 reveals their plight: “The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.” The wicked are separated from God even before birth. From the womb, their lives are misdirected, growing up in deceit because they lack the truth of God’s Word.
If you’re reading this and you’re not born again, more so if you’re an offspring of unsaved parents, the Bible explains why your life might seem directionless, and spiritual things appear incomprehensible to you. You were estranged from God from birth, programmed to follow a path away from Him.
This isn’t something you can change by your efforts alone. You need the mercy and grace of God. Ask the Lord to come into your heart and give you a new life. You can do this right now by turning to the “Prayer Of Salvation” page; say that prayer, and mean the words from your heart, and you’d receive the life and nature of God.
For parents who are already in Christ, their children are spiritually impacted even from the womb. A child conceived by Spirit-filled parents carries the blessing of God’s Spirit before birth. This is the stark difference between those born to parents in Christ and those who aren’t.
PRAYER / CONFESSION
Dear heavenly Father, I pray for those who are yet to know you, or are estranged from you, that they receive your mercy and grace and come into the light of your glorious salvation, and walk in the truth. Thank you for the blessing of your Spirit, and the new life you give to all who call upon you for salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
