╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 28th July *STAY FOCUSED IN PRAYER* And the Father who knows all hearts knows, of course, what the Spirit is saying as he pleads for us in harmony with God’s own will. *(Romans 8:27 TLB)* Prayer is a special time to talk with the Lord. It’s not the time to think about school activities, food, or games. That’s why, when you pray, God wants your heart and mind focused on Him. This helps you connect better with God and enjoy His presence. If distracting thoughts come, refuse them in Jesus’ Name and bring your mind back to Him. You can also think on God’s Word while you pray. As you learn to focus during prayer, it becomes easier to hear from God more clearly and see your prayer produce results. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *Isaiah 26:3* Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. *LET'S PRAY* Dear loving Father,...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Tuesday, July 28th 2026_ *THE REPLICA OF THE GODHEAD* _(Jesus Is The Express Image Of The Father)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *John 14:8-9* _“Philip said to Him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, “Show us the Father”?”_  *LET’S TALK* The Bible says that in Jesus dwells the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form, meaning anyone who wants to know what God looks like should look at Jesus. No wonder He said to Philip, *“he who has seen Me has seen the Father.”* Jesus is the express image of the Father’s Person; He is the effulgence of His glory. The Bible says it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus) should all fullness dwell (Colossians 1:19). No wonder He said in John 10:30, *”I and My Father are one.”* When He said this, the Jews picked up stones and wanted to stone Him. Why? They said...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Tuesday, July 28th 2026_ *GOD LOVES YOU SPECIALLY* _For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life_ *(John 3:16)* God loves everybody. The Bible says He so loved the world, people, and He sent Jesus, His Son, to save them from their sins. So, God is love, and He loves all men. However, from the Scriptures, we find that God also loves some people specially.  Solomon is an example: when he was born, the Bible tells us the Lord loved him (2 Samuel 12:24). This was special. The Lord Jesus also loved John specially. John knew it so much, he called himself the disciple whom Jesus loved. The rich young ruler who came to ask Jesus questions is also another example; the Bible says Jesus loved him (Mark 10:17-21).  Did you know you also can walk in this special love? Absolutely! That’s God’s desire for you. Remember the scripture, *“The grace of...

_Avoid opening the door to negativity in your life. Giving generously will not replace what you've lost due to disobedience. Regardless of your achievements, never disregard God's Word or consider yourself above correction. The validity of a thought or action should not be based on emotions._ _Don't let differences of opinion lead to division or anger. Pride is a toxic force that can cloud your judgment. Eliminate pride before it ruins your life. Allow God's Word to guide your decisions, not your personal desires. You are cherished by God, unique, and exceptional! Why tarnish your mind with pride, jealousy, envy, or gossip? Remember, you are royalty and a product of Love._ _Avoid speaking negatively about others or fostering animosity towards them. Refrain from inciting hatred; instead, promote love and unity. Let positivity and kindness be the essence of your interactions with others._

═══════════════╗   RHAPSODY OF REALITIES    FOR EARLY READERS ╚════════════════╝ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME MONDAY , 27TH JULY 2026   Choose Humility   📖James 4:6  ...God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.   When Jesus lived on earth, He showed us what true humility looks like. Even though He is the Son of God, He allowed John to baptize Him (Matthew 3:13-15). He didn't act more important than others. He chose to obey God.   He also told His disciples that anyone who wants to be great must be ready to serve (Matthew 20:26). He even washed their feet to show them how (John 13:13-15).   The Bible says Jesus humbled Himself and did what God wanted. As a result, God lifted Him and gave Him the highest name (Philippians 2:9-11).   So, to be great, you have to choose humility. Choose to do things in God's way. Help at home. Be kind at school. Stay teachable. Remember, God lifts up the humble.   📚Scripture Readin...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Monday , July 27th 2026,    CROWNED WITH GLORY  (You’ve Been Brought Into   Excellence And Glory) 📖TO THE BIBLE - Romans 8:30  “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.”   LET’S TALK➡️  Romans 3:23 says, ”for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” In other words, man became separated from the glory life due to Adam’s transgression. But as a result of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’re no longer short of the glory of God. You were brought into the life of glory the moment you were born   again.   I want you to note the tenses in our opening scripture as we read it this time in the Weymouth New Testament   Translation: “and those whom He has pre-destined He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom...
