*ENDURE CRITICISM ON YOUR WAY UP ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME*


*_"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations" (James 1:2)._*

I've heard some ministers say, *"I don't like criticism at all."* If you're in that group, it means you're not yet ready for the real work; the miraculous. The moment miracles start in your ministry, you'll start hearing things like, *"Hmmn! Who does he think he is?"* *"Where does he get his power?"* *"The miracles are fake!"*

Show me a man who has enemies and I'll show you a successful man. A hard statement, but a true one nonetheless! Nobody needs to announce you when you don't amount to a heap of beans. Nobody will criticize you when your car is smoking like a chimney all over town. The reason they don't criticize you is because they haven't noticed you. When they notice you, they'll criticize you for sure!

So when the people around you say nasty things about you, don't be angry or mad at them, don't even reply your critics. Just smile! God has made you a city that's set upon a hill; you cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14). He wants to display you for all the world to see.

It's not necessary to run from criticism. Besides, you wouldn't be the first to be criticised. Remember that David was criticized by his brothers after he was anointed by Samuel. Eliab, his eldest brother criticized him when he showed up at the war front, but David was unperturbed by his criticism. By this attitude he was able to fulfil his destiny by killing Goliath (1 Samuel 17:42-50). Even the Lord Jesus was criticized by the scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees because of His miracles. So you see, you shouldn't worry about about your critics neither should you be disturbed that you're the devil's target. It's at that point that God becomes your Jehovah Nissi - The Lord your Banner. *Hallelujah!* Right in the midst of the problem you can say like David, *_"...now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me..."_* (Psalm 27:6). Count it all joy for you're a victor at every count.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
