Overcome Your “Cosmos” – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional March 18th

(Put The Creative Force In You To Work)

TO THE BIBLE: John 16:33 NIV
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

LET’S TALK
The Greek word translated “world” in the verse above is “cosmos.” “Cosmos” refers to the world as it is, with its structures and systems and all of its content, including its inhabitants and their works, such as whatever is made, created, or founded.

Then, in Hebrews 11:3: “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible,” we find another Greek word, “aion,” translated as “world.”

“Aion” is the course, era, or operational system within the cosmos. It’s the running of the cosmos, and that has to do with the times of various inhabitants.

What’s the implication of this? Remember, Jesus said, “I have overcome the cosmos.” That means He overcame the world and all of its contents, all of its inhabitants, and all of their works, powers, and abilities.

But you see, when men run the world, whatever has been made or whatever they have met in terms of structure or operational system can be manipulated. Men can create their “aions” by manipulating the cosmos. Therefore, they can try to use the content of the cosmos to affect you.

The truth is, with the “Rhema” of God (the Word of God in your mouth), you can overcome whatever is within the cosmos that’s being carried out, fabricated, or reworked against you in your time and in your era.

Don’t sit idly by and let Satan and his cohorts run rampage and distort things around you; repair, frame, perfect, mend, and restore things in your “aion.”

Be in charge and in control of how things go with you from day to day by speaking forth God’s Word.
There’s a creative force in you to frame the kind of life and environment that you desire, to alter destinies and change the course of events in our world. Put it to work.

Pray:
Dear Father, with my faith and through the Word, I frame the course of my life to be synchronised with your plan, purpose, and perfect will. I bask in your peace, prosperity, and productivity in every area of my life! I prosper in every good work; everything in my world conforms to your will and destiny for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
