📌 *YOUR OFFERING MAKES A DIFFERENCE* RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 2025. SCRIPTURE: 1 KINGS 3: 4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. In 1 Kings 3, when Solomon became king of Israel, he was deeply troubled. He knew he was not the firstborn son, and his mother, Bathsheba, was not the first wife of his father, David. Solomon understood that his position as king would bring challenges because he had older brothers who despised both him and his mother. For example, when you study the accounts in 1 Kings 2, Solomon's older brother Adonijah attempted to usurp the throne, and Solomon later ordered the execution of Adonijah, Joab, and Shimei to secure his reign. These show the violent and unstable environment in which Solomon ascended the throne. So, despite being king, he faced several threats to his life and position. He knew he had to do something beyond the ordinary to secure his reign and separate himself from the danger around him. What did Solomon do? He offered an extraordinary sacrifice to God. 1 Kings 3:4 says, _*"And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar."*_ Solomon was determined to put everything on the line in his worship to God. Today, we can learn from what Solomon did. It’s one of the ways to move forward and establish yourself where God has placed you. *PRAYER* _Dear Father, thank you for the opportunity to give into your Kingdom. I refuse to be subject to the limitations of this world, for Christ is my riddance as well as my advantage. I align myself with your divine principles, ensuring progress and prosperity in every area of my life. Thank you for separating me from the forces of poverty and wickedness, in Jesus' Name. Amen._ 🔴𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐖!!!🔴 🔵𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vacmw4GCcW4tU6ZEPi1m 🎁𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐋𝐎𝐀𝐃 𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐆𝐄: https://app.rhapsodyofrealities.org/home/TRMSB use the referral code TRMSB 💟𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊: https://wa.link/g1gbws (chat with us) https://rin.rhapsodyofrealities.org/soul/martinspiritman 🔈𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊: https://christembassyifako.org/live/ ✍🏻 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆: https://spiritman.online 🗳️𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊: https://partner.reachoutworld.org/ref/bYruA0F2 ✅ 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒: https://read.rhapsodyofrealities.org/rin/martinspiritman7172 🎖️𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌: https://t.me/onlinemissions 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐎𝐃 𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔❤️🙏 *FURTHER STUDY* *|| 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: 9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) ||* *|| Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. ||* *|| 1 Kings 3:5-13 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day. 7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not [how] to go out or come in. 8 And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. ||* *DAILY SCRIPTURE READING* *1 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN:* Matthew 23 & Exodus 24-25 *2 YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN:* Matthew 12:1-9 & Genesis 33 *DIVINE HEALTH CONFESSIONS -2ND FEBRUARY 2025* *I walk in the consciousness of eternal life, living boldly and confidently.
