📖.....And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem_ (Luke 24:46-47)
═══════════════
There are proponents of a false teaching that Christianity is a Jewish religion, but the words of the Lord Jesus in the opening text dispel that notion. 

He said the Gospel “…should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” The Gospel is for all. Christianity is for all; it only started in Jerusalem. 

So, don’t limit the Gospel; preach it to everyone, everywhere, and in all nations! The Bible says in Mark 13:10, "And the gospel must first be published among all nations."

In Matthew 24:14 NIV, Jesus said, “...this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” 

Then in Matthew 28:19, He instructed, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

In fact, before His glorious ascension to heaven, He told His disciples, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”* (Acts 1:8). 

So, the disciples began from Jerusalem, spread the Gospel to Judea and Samaria, and then moved to the ends of the earth.

Thus, it was from Jerusalem to the very bounds of the earth. This shows that the Gospel is for everybody; it’ll produce results in the life of anyone who hears and believes it everywhere and anywhere in this world. 

Don’t limit the Gospel to your locality; tell everyone about Jesus.

Yes, talk to your spouse, parents, teachers, students, neighbours, colleagues or co-workers about Jesus. 

Preach the Gospel to them. For those in the hinterlands and seemingly forgotten places of the earth who may not even understand your language, send them Rhapsody of Realities.

Thanks be unto God; Rhapsody of Realities is available in every known language on earth. So, it’s a tool for global evangelization. 

It’s a love note from God with which you can preach the Gospel everywhere and to everyone. Hallelujah!

SPIRITUAL SONGS
(Worship The Lord From Your Spirit)

TO THE BIBLE:
Ephesians 5:19 KJV
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord”

LET’S TALK
“Spiritual songs” in the scripture above really doesn’t refer to the spiritual content of the songs but that the songs are inspired songs of the Spirit. 

Apostle Paul was talking about this when he said, “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 

What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also” (1 Corinthians 14:14-15 NASB).

When you sing with the spirit, you sing in other tongues. These songs come out of your spirit, not from your head or understanding.

 It’s similar to the way you release your tongue to the Holy Spirit to pray in tongues, only that this time you’re singing and worshipping the Lord in other tongues. 

Jesus said, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24 KJV). 

Singing and worshipping the Lord in the understanding is cool, but you should ascend higher: sing songs and worship the Lord from your spirit because that’s deeper fellowship.

 Worshipping in the spirit is climatic and higher!

The latter part of our opening scripture says, “…Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” Your songs of the spirit aren’t for the guy or lady close to you. 

No one may like the way the songs sound, but you’re not singing to anyone; you’re singing to the Lord (1 Corinthians 14:2)! 

There’s a divine exchange in this kind of worship: as your spirit passes words in the Spirit to God, the Holy Ghost passes information to your spirit.

When you finish such sessions of fellowship with the Spirit, you’re literally on top of the world; no challenge moves you because your spirit has gained the mastery! 

At that point, you know, without a doubt in your spirit, that you’re more than a conqueror and a victor for life! This is Christianity: it’s the life of the spirit, lived from the inside out!

GO DEEPER
John 4:24 AMPC; 1 Corinthians 14:2; Colossians 3:16

PRAY
Blessed Lord, your glory fills the earth, and your righteousness is upon the nations! Splendour and majesty are before you; strength and joy are in your dwelling place.

 You’ve beautified my life and anointed me to proclaim your love, mercies, and grace. I’ll sing of your love forever and of your faithfulness that’s ever sure. Blessed be your Name forever.

⊶⊷⊷⊷⊶⊷⊷⊷
When manufacturers create a special edition of a product, it’s the version that stands out in uniqueness and is special above all the rest.

You’re God’s creation and a special version.  That means you’re unique and special! 

Take a good look at yourself as you stand  in front of a mirror; that person you’re seeing  on the other side is a special creation.

You’re  unique and one-of-a-kind. There’s no one on  this earth that’s exactly like you. No one talks  and laughs like you. 

So, stand out from the crowd today as you shine with your excellent character in Christ. Glory to God!
