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

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

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...

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity. That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
