TRAIN FOR YOUR FUTURE

(Don’t Neglect Your Responsibilities)

📖TO THE BIBLE : 1 Samuel 17:34-37

“...David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth...Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God....”

LET'S TALK ⏩

The opening scripture is the account of David’s first encounter with Saul, the king of Israel. I want you to note that at this time he wasn’t qualified to be in the army. Yet, the confidence he exuded as he spoke was nothing short of that of an experienced warrior. As you study the life of David, you’ll understand the reason he was so bold and confident of killing Goliath of Gath was that he had been trained for it. Nobody knew that while he was tending his father’s sheep, God was also training him for the future.

The responsibilities given to him at home seemed menial and mundane compared to those of his “warrior” brothers. Nonetheless, he performed every task faithfully and with utmost diligence. These were the qualities that brought him before Saul. Though David was a fresh-faced teenager, seemingly unfit and untrained for combat, he killed Goliath, brought Israel victory over the Philistines and went on to become God’s great general for Israel! God had trained him for his future.

Don’t despise any responsibility you’re given today, irrespective of how lowly it may seem. Always remember that God is training you for the great future ahead of you through His Word and by His Spirit.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
