Rhapsody Of Realities 16 February 2026 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): The Poor In Spirit

TOPIC: The Poor In Spirit (Rhapsody of Realities 16 February 2026)

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

When the Lord Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” He wasn’t referring to those who lack material possessions. Rather, He meant those who, in their spirits, have given up everything to God. These are people who don’t hold anything back in their service of the Lord. You may see them surrounded by abundance, yet in their hearts, they’ve counted those things as nothing. They can give and spend anything for the sake of the Gospel.

The Apostle Paul expressed this in Philippians 3:8 when he said, “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord….” You must come to that point in your life where the only thing that truly matters is the purpose of Christ, His eternal Kingdom, and the advancement of the Gospel of His salvation.

People may see you with beautiful possessions but those things don’t have dominion over you. The Spirit of God can tell you to give everything as an offering, and there’ll be no hesitation or argument. That’s what it means to be poor in spirit; you’ve relinquished ownership of everything to God. You have a heart that’s completely yielded to Him in love. Your satisfaction isn’t in the fleeting pleasures of this world but in Christ alone.

Notice what the Lord said about those who live this way; they’re the ones to whom the Kingdom of heaven belongs. The “kingdom of heaven” is the divine order of Christ’s dominion established in the earth. It’s the life and authority of heaven manifested here and now to bless and transform men’s lives. The poor in spirit dispense the glories of the Kingdom and live out heaven’s realities on earth. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me to a place of total submission to your will and purpose. My heart is yielded to you completely; nothing in this world holds my affection above your will. I live only for the purpose of the Gospel, to saturate the world with the Word. I’m a steward of divine treasures, using all that I have for your glory and the expansion of your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Philippians 3:7-8 (KJV) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. [8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Matthew 6:19-21 & 33 (KJV) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
