TOPIC:HAVE A BALANCED LIFE 
(Go For Knowledge Of God’s Word)

TO  THE  BIBLE   📖 Colossians 1:10 AMPC
“That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].”

LET’S  TALK 🗣️
The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to pray the prayer above for the Church, letting us understand God’s will for our lives. He prayed that you’d walk in the way of true righteousness, pleasing God in all that you do, being fruitful and productive, as you mature in the rich experience of knowing Him in His fullness. Hallelujah! 

God wants your life to be fruitful in every good work. With this fruitfulness, He wants you to increase in your “epignosis” (full, exact and experiential knowledge) of Him. That’s the balanced life He wants for you! For some people, when they become very productive with the things they do at home, school, or anywhere else, they don’t have time for God anymore. 

They hardly even study the Bible or participate in church meetings and activities. 
The more they make progress in their social life and school grades, the less time they devote to spiritual things, showing that something is wrong. The life of the Christian is one of ever-increasing glory and all-around success. That is, you’re making good progress in your academic work, your loved ones are walking in faith and righteousness, and at the same time, you’re increasing in the knowledge of God. 
Oh, how important the knowledge of God is! The Bible says, “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” (2 Peter 1:2 NIV). 

Do you want more grace in your life, and peace multiplied to you? Go for the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ! God doesn’t want you deficient in any area of your life. 
In the eleventh verse of Colossians 1, Paul continued in his prayer declaring that you become strengthened with all might, according to God’s glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. 

You can be very fruitful, productive, and strong. God wants your life to be balanced, and you can actualise His desire in your life by walking in the knowledge of His Word.

Pray 🙏
Dear loving Father, thank you for giving me a perfect and balanced life. By your Spirit that dwells in me, I’m fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of your Word, as I please you in all things, fulfilling your purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
