╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 19th May *YOU'RE A WITNESS TO YOUR WORLD* And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him. *(Acts 5:32)* A witness is someone who tells others what they know to be true. When you were born again, you became a witness for Jesus. This means you can tell people around you, your friends, classmates, and neighbors about Him. You can share His love and His truth everywhere you go. Jesus said He is the Vine and we are the branches (John 15:5). This means that when we stay close to Him, good things show in our lives. One of those good things is telling others about Jesus, and sharing God’s message of hope and salvation. So remember this: telling others about Jesus is very important. Be a witness for Him every day, wherever you are. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *Mark 16:15* And he said unto them, Go ye ...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Tuesday, May 19th 2026_ *PROVE YOURSELF FAITHFUL* _(You’re A Custodian Of Kingdom Resources)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Luke 16:11 NLT* _“And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?”_ *LET’S TALK* Imagine being trusted with your parents’ car for the first time. They don’t hand you the keys just because you asked—they watched how you handled your bicycle, then maybe a scooter, then short errands. Trust grows with responsibility. God works the same way with us. From the words of Jesus in our opening verse, if you’re not faithful with earthly riches, you won’t be entrusted with heavenly treasures. That tells us something important: how you handle money and resources really matters to God. Your attitude toward money is a test. God observes how you manage what’s already in your hands to know what more He can trust you with. In Christ, we are stewards—God trusts with His resources. Everything that comes t...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Tuesday, May 19th 2026_ *HE ALWAYS PRESERVES HIS PURPOSE* _And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness_ *(2 Samuel 15:31)* In our previous study, we referenced how Absalom, David’s son, led a strong conspiracy against David, his father. Ahithophel was greatly revered as one who spoke from God, but he joined Absalom’s camp, strengthening the conspiracy against David even further. As a result, David prayed to the Lord to turn Ahithophel’s wisdom to foolishness.    But something remarkable followed David’s prayer. The Bible says David went up to the top of the mount where he worshipped God, and right there, Hushai the Archite came to meet him. God’s answer showed up in the form of a man, a strategic placement.  David immediately understood what that meant and what to do. He told Hushai to return to the city ...

_One of the things that is unique to you is your smile. Don't allow people and circumstances take that away from you that you are now always frowning. Your smile is unique to you. Smile, you don't own all the problems in the world. Filter what goes on in your mind, your thoughts affect your mood._ _Don't make someone who lives with you in your present pay the price for an experience you had in your past. Sometimes we react with anger to people who live among us now, while in reality we are reacting to memories of a past gone._ _Life doesn't make you or break you, it's actually your mentality that decides. What's playing out of our lives is a picture of the function of our minds. How you see yourself does not only affect how others see you, but also affect how things are with you!_

╔════════════════╗  RHAPSODY OF REALITIES     FOR EARLY READERS ╚════════════════╝ SATURDAY, 16TH MAY 2026 GOD HELPS YOU FROM THE INSIDE Philippians 2:13  For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. The Holy Spirit is God’s power at work inside you. He helps you love God, do good things, and live a happy, and victorious life.  When Jesus was on earth, He depended  on the Holy Spirit. In the same way, the Holy Spirit helps you when you sing in church, help  others, pray, or do anything for God.  The Bible tells us, “...Not by might, nor by  power, but by my Spirit...” (Zechariah 4:6).  This means we don’t do God’s work on our  own. God’s Spirit helps us. The Holy Spirit lives in you to guide you,  make you strong, and help you win every day.  So remember to say often, “Thank you, Holy  Spirit, for helping me!”  SCRIPTURE READING John 14:16 And I will pray the Fathe...
