Rhapsody Of Realities 8 December 2023 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Walk As He Walked
TOPIC: Walk As He Walked (Rhapsody of Realities 8 December 2023)
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked (1 John 2:5-6).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:
Being born again, the love of God is already perfected in us. His love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who lives within us (Romans 5:5). It’s no use praying, “O, Lord put more of your love in my heart!” No! You posses the fullness of God’s love in your heart. You can love as He loves. That’s why the Bible enjoins us to “…walk, even as he walked “( 1 John 2:6).
If you claim to abide in Christ, you should live as He did, emulate Him He was love personified. Ephesians 5:1-2 tells us to emulate Him in our love-walk: “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet- smelling aroma “(NKJV).
We can live, act and think like Him because we have the same life with Him. 1 Corinthians 2:16 says, “…But we have the mind of Christ.” So, like the Master, never be intimidated by circumstances. In every situation, manifest the glory and power of divinity. Nothing could limit Jesus. He exercised absolute dominion over the forces and elements of this world.
Never be intimidated by the challenges that you face, no matter how tough they are; walk as Jesus walked! Today, you’re the manifestation of Him, you’re the expression of Him. This is what true Christianity is – living the Christ – life – the unveiling and out working of Christ in and through you. Hallelujah!
Dear Father, I thank you for the profound truth of your word that’s building my life from glory to glory. Your love is perfected in my heart, and it flows through me to bring succour to a hurting world. I’m the expression and manifestation of Christ; His glory, power and righteousness today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Ephesians 5:1-2 AMPC – Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. 2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a [a]slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
