DIE ONOORWINBARE LEWE
Ek skryf hierdie dinge aan julle sodat julle met die wete kan leef dat julle nou reeds deel het aan die ewige lewe, julle wat aanhou glo in die persoon van die Seun van God (1 Johannes 5:13).
Die geskiedenis van die kerk vertel ons hoe Johannes, die skrywer van ons temavers, geweldige vervolging verduur het weens sy geloof. Hy is gevange geneem en in ’n reuse pot kokende olie gegooi om hom lewendig te braai. Hulle het die vuur aangesteek terwyl hy binne-in was, maar iets merkwaardig het gebeur, die olie het uitgebrand en tog was Johannes steeds daar lewendig en ongedeerd.
Sy vervolgers, kon nie verstaan hoe enige iemand so ’n grusame beproewing kon oorleef nie en het tot die slotsom gekom dat sy lewe werklik goddelik was en daarom het hy die naam “Sint Johannes die Goddelike” gekry. Hy is later in ballingskap na Patmos, ’n Griekse eiland, verban waar hy die boek van Openbaring geskryf het.
Wat het hierdie apostel onoorwinbaar gemaak ten spyte van grusame behandeling? Hy het die ewige lewe gehad waaroor hy geskryf en die Kerk van bewus gemaak het, soos ons in die temavers lees. Hy het gesê: “Ek wil hê dat julle moet weet dat julle die ewige lewe het.” Die woord “weet” is vertaal vanuit die Grieks “eido” en dit beteken om waar te neem, of bewus te word; kennis met bewustheid.
Johannes het ’n vlak van bewustheid van die ewige lewe, die grondbeginsel van goddelikheid, wat in hom gewerk het bereik. Dieselfde lewe van absolute oorwinning, heerlikheid, geregtigheid en heerskappy in Christus het jou menslike lewe vervang en jou onvernietigbaar gemaak! Word ten volle oortuig van hierdie waarheid. Moenie net daaroor preek, sing en dans nie; laat dit nou ’n bewustheid in jou gees wees dat jy ’n goddelike wese is en nie bloot ’n mens nie. Jy is in die goddelike klas; ’n deelgenoot van die goddelike natuur. Geseënd is God!
GEBED
Liewe Vader, dankie vir die impak van die goddelike lewe in my gees, siel en liggaam. Hierdie goddelike lewe vloei deur my wese en vernietig en verwerp siektes, kwale, krankhede, die dood, armoede en enigiets wat nie met Christus se evangelie saamstem nie. Ek is onoorwinbaar, onvernietigbaar en ondeurdringbaar, in Jesus se Naam. Amen.

Word deel van die wëreld se grootste evangelisasie netwerk:
Ondersteun heelhartig die grootste daaglikse dagstukkie in die wêreld. Word deel van die verspreidingsnetwerk van die grootste evangelisasie beweging in die wêreld saam met Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. Die Rhapsody word maandeliks versprei en maandeliks vertaal in meer as 1,000 tale! Sedert die stigting van die Rhapsody of Realities dagstukkie is reeds meer as 1,000,000,000 (ja jy het reg gelees: 1 BILJOEN) in beide gedrukte en digitale kopieë versprei! Min mense in Suid Afrika weet dit – versprei die woord! Die Rhapsody word tans versprei in elke bekende gebied van die wêreld. Kom vat hande en word deel van die wêreld-wye beweging!
Wie kan baatvind met die Rhapsody?
- Enigiemand. Indien jy net die wêreld se grootste dagstukkie wil geniet en dieselfde gebed hardop bid met miljoene Christene reg oor die wêreld in eenheid van gees, is jy welkom om die Rhapsody te kry vir jouself.
- Die gedrukte Rhapsody is egter ‘n fantastiese evangelisasie instrument en geselskap-aanknoper wat jy jouself (of groot evangelisasie groepe) kan gebruik om ander meer effektief te bereik.
- The Rhapsody is ook ‘n wonderlike aanwins vir Pastore van kerke wat nie hulle eie dagstukkie publikasie het nie, maar tog wil hê dat hulle kerk een moet hê om die gemeente te groei tot geestelike volwassenheid. Die Rhapsody is propvol inhoud en idees vir preke.
- Verder, kan jy dalk nie self na ‘n ver-afgeleë land gaan om mense daar met die Goeie Evangelie te bereik nie. Jy kan nou egter ‘n vennoot word van Rhapsody of Realities en gedrukte dagstukkie uitgawes stuur na enige land wat jy verkies. Iemand sal dit daar namens jou versprei en dis die ideale manier om die nasies te bereik, selfs van die huis af.

THE INVINCIBLE LIFE
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life (1 John 5:13 NIV).
Church history tells us how John, the writer of our theme scripture, faced intense persecution due to his faith. He was captured and plunged into a large vessel of boiling oil with the intention of frying him alive. They lit the fire while he was inside, but something remarkable happened: the oil burnt out, but John was still there; alive and unscathed.
His persecutors, who couldn’t fathom how anyone could survive such a gruesome ordeal, concluded that his life was indeed divine, and for that reason, he earned the appellation, “Saint John the Divine.” He was later banished into exile in Patmos, a Greek island, where he wrote the Book of Revelation.
What made this apostle, in spite of that horrific treatment, invincible? He had eternal life, which he wrote about and admonished the Church to be conscious of, as read in our theme scripture. He said, “I want you to know that you have eternal life.” The word, “know” is translated from the Greek “eido,” and it means to observe or become aware; knowledge with awareness.
John came to a level of awareness that eternal life, the very essence of divinity, was at work in him. That same life of absolute victory, glory, righteousness, and dominion in Christ supplanted your human life, making you indestructible! Become fully persuaded of this truth. Don’t just preach, sing and dance about it; let it be a present-hour consciousness in your spirit that you’re a divine being, not a mere human. You’re in the divine class; an associate of the God-kind. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the impact of your divine life in my spirit, soul and body. This divine life surges through my being, destroying and repelling sickness, disease, infirmity, death, poverty, and everything that’s inconsistent with the provisions of the Gospel of Christ. I’m invincible, indestructible and impregnable, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
