Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc,DD Saturday, May 28th 2022 MAKE THAT DECISION (You’re The One to Choose For Yourself)  📖TO THE BIBLE  Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live. ▶️LET’S TALK Though God wants you to be prosperous, successful, excellent, and sound, you have to line up with the Word, and decide to be all He wants you to be. It’s a personal choice that you must make. Anyone can do anything for you, including praying for you, sharing the Word with you; but no one can make decisions for you. You’ve got to do that yourself! God’s role is to guide you through the Word, and the Holy Spirit, so you can make the right decisions. Your life today has turned out to be the way it is because of the choices you made yesterday. In the same vein, your tomorrow is dependent on the choices and decisions you mak...

═══════════════ TOPIC: MUSIC IS BEYOND LYRICS  👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ SATURDAY 28TH MAY, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them (EXODUS 6:2-3). ═══════════════ There’re some things that have crept into the house of God for many years, ruining people’s lives and many never knew. For example, some of the different styles of music and dance in some churches today, where did they come from? What spirits are behind such music and dance? The spirit behind certain music or dance is the significance of it.  click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities If, for instance, a Christian likes to sing or dance to Reggae music, as much as we may appreciate Reggae music, the question would be, “What’s the source of Reggae music?” Music isn’t just the lyrics; make no mistakes about it. ...

_Before you were born, you existed in God's mind. He knew this world would need you at this time. He planned you with a special purpose that no one but you could fulfill.

Christianity is a life of faith; just as the natural man can’t survive without breathing, there can be no Christian life without faith. Faith is the lifestyle of the believer; everything we do as Christians must be by faith to be acceptable by God. click here for yesterday's Reality check Romans 14:23 says, “…whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” The importance of faith in our day-to- day living cannot be overemphasized; sometimes people get so conscious of growing and demonstrating their faith only in the area of doing mighty works, without realizing that there’s also the faith to live by!_

Pastor Chris  Friday, May 27th 2022 GIVE FEAR THE QUIT NOTICE (It’s Not Your Nature to Fear!)  📖TO THE BIBLE   2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. ▶️LET’S TALK It’s amazing that, in spite of all the power and authority Christ Jesus passed on to the Church, many still allow fear control their minds. I used the word “allow” because it doesn’t have to be that way. God hasn’t given you the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. But some are oblivious of this reality. As a Christian, it’s not your nature to fear; therefore you should never be afraid. You’re the righteous, and “the righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1).  click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities Teevo Fear comes from the devil and the Lord Jesus Christ has dealt thoroughly with the problem of fear by paralyzing the devil.

═══════════════ THE WALK OF A CHRISTIAN - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ FRIDAY 27TH MAY, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called (EPHESIANS 4:1).   ═══════════════ One of the dynamics of Christianity is derived from a very important word from the verse above: WALK! There’s the walk of a Christian. When you’re born again, the first thing God wants to help you learn is how to walk in Christ in your daily life. Colossians 2:6 says, “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him” (Colossians 2:6).  How you live every day, how you relate with other people, how you relate with God—and the kind of mind you have—these are very important to God. There’s a way a Christian should and must live that distinguishes him or her from a non–Christian. Someone may be born again and not live the Christian life. In fact, some don’t even know what a Christian...

Life is a culmination of many small decisions. A mistake repeated more than thrice is a decision not a mistake.

No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean they'll value you the same. You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it's enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. You need the right people with you, not necessarily the best people. Never beg anyone to accept you for who you are.

═══════════════ TOPIC: WE ONLY GET STRONGER  👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ THURSDAY 26TH MAY, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated (DEUTERONOMY 34:7). ═══════════════ Have you ever heard the word “agelessness”? It’s part of our heritage in Christ. We grow, but we don’t age! Hallelujah! So never say, “You know, I’m no longer as strong as I used to be; age isn’t on my side.” As a Christian, you shouldn’t talk like that because when you were born again, eternal life was imparted to your spirit. Eternal life is life with agelessness.  In Christ, you’ve been brought into His glory and the glorified life. So, every so often, declare to yourself, “I only get stronger! I’m stronger today than I was ten years ago!” Consider Moses: at one hundred and twenty years of age, his physical stature wasn’t abated, his eyes weren’t dim. Yet, the Bible says the glory that Moses...

The law justified no one and condemned the best of us, but grace saves even the worst of us. Under the law, God demanded righteousness from man. Under grace, God provided righteousness for man in Christ Jesus! Grace is never put off by your mistakes or offended by your shortcomings.  click here for yesterday's Daily juice In fact, grace does its best work when sin tries to condemn you. Grace isn't earned, it's a gift. Just as you didn't qualify yourself to earn God's love, you can't disqualify yourself from the grace of God. God placed His best in you. Don't allow your mistakes stop you from fulfilling God's purpose for your life. The influence of God's word in our lives is not a luxury we can do without. It's so essential. The word of God is the seed of God. We can't bear fruit without putting God's Word in our hearts any more than a farmer can have a harvest without planting seeds.

Pastor Chris  Wednesday, May 25th 2022 IT’LL SURELY PASS (That Trouble Is For A Moment) TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 4:17 AMPC “For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]” LET’S TALK In your life as a Christian, tough times may come to you in form of trials, temptations, and persecution. But at such times, you should hold on and don’t give up, because they only came to pass. Remember Jesus’ words to the soldiers who came to arrest Him at Gethsemane; He said, “I was with you in the Temple every day, and you did not try to arrest me. But this is your hour to act, when the power of darkness rules” (Luke 22:53 GNB). It was just for a moment. When it was over, the glorified Son of God was ma...

Jesus showed us a good example of how to walk in love. He loved everyone, including His accusers and persecutors.

Don't look to anything external to give you joy; Joy is one of the fruits of your recreated human spirit, so it's in you.

Our joy is independent of circumstances; we are joyful in adversity, the Bible says: count it all joy, when you go through diverse tests James 1:2. Be joyful always! The spirit of God does more for and with us in an atmosphere of joy and happiness; so make up your mind to be joyful today and always. click here for previous Reality check

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc, DD Tuesday, May 24th 2022 WATER YOUR SEED! (Let the Holy Spirit Bring You a Harvest)  📖TO THE BIBLE   Ezekiel 36:27-29 “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. ▶️LET’S TALK In the Church of Jesus Christ, there’s been a lot of preaching on prosperity. For instance, it’s been preached that “When you give, God will give back to you.” But the truth is, it doesn’t end there.

👤 Pastor Chris _Oyakhilome  Dsc. DD. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory (EXODUS 29:43). In worship, God talks to us. As you minister to Him, He ministers to your spirit as well. Heaven is never silent on the worshipper. When you need direction, guidance or a supernatural intervention, worship the Lord. In Acts 13:1-2, the Bible says, “ …as they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost said…” letting us know that the power of God’s Spirit is manifested in an atmosphere of true worship. click here for the message: Importance of corporate worship by pastor Chris True worship isn’t the casual rendition of your favourite Christian tunes; it’s the lifting of your heart and hands to the Lord, in reverence of His awesome majesty.

═══════════════ TOPIC: CALLED TO LEAD  👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ TUESDAY 24TH MAY, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (MATTHEW 28:19-20).  ═══════════════ In our bid to evangelize the world, we must fully understand activism, advocacy and real leadership. Jesus said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations….” It means we’re to make pupils of the nations. The word “nations” is from the Greek “Ethnos.” Ethnos refers to different groups with some common factors that bring them together. For example, a family, a group of politicians, an association of doctors, etc. click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities So, when Jesus used the term “nations” you could interpret it as countries, families, groups, profess...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc, DD Monday, May 23rd 2022 PURCHASE IT BY FAITH (Faith is The Currency You Have in Christ)  📖TO THE BIBLE   Hebrews 11:1 AMPC “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. ▶️LET’S TALK Faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. One of the things it does is that it brings to your spirit the picture of possibilities. The scripture above defines faith as the evidence of unseen realities: the proof of the existence of those things which are unseen to the optical eyes but can be seen in the spirit. Let’s say you asked the Lord for a new jacket and declared afterwards, “I have that new jacket in the Name of Jesus.” If what you’re exercising is really faith, it means the jacket is already yours.

═══════════════ TOPIC: A MORE EXCELLENT WAY TO GIVE PRAISE  👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ MONDAY, 23RD MAY 2022 ═══════════════ 📖And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod_ (2 SAMUEL 6:14) ═══════════════ There’re those who thought that in the verse above David was merely dancing in the flesh. So, oftentimes they’d say they want to dance like David danced, and they start gyrating with all their might. No! David was a man of the Spirit. When the Ark of God was being brought into the city of David, our theme verse says “...David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.” Notice the underlined part. In those days, dressing with a linen ephod represented the office of the priest. Whenever the priest was in that regalia, he functioned in his spiritual office. David was girded with a linen ephod; being also a prophet, evidently instructed by the Spirit, his dance as descri...

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore (PSALM 133:1-3). Be prepared Ahead of the Evil Day by pastor Chris One of the many benefits of going to church is the opportunity for corporate worship. Worshipping God on your own is wonderful, but as Christians, we’re required to come together in our respective congregations to worship the Lord, because His intention is to grow His children as families. Of course, there’re families where nobody recognizes another—no communication between parents and the children—that’s not ideal. God lets us have our individual worship, individual prayers, individual Christian service, but there’s also corporate worship, cor...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc, DD Sunday, May 22nd 2022 BRIMMING WITH JOY! (Experience Indescribable Joy Daily)  TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. LET’S TALK 🗣️ Joy is a product of the recreated human spirit. Some people haven’t understood the power of a joyful and merry heart; otherwise, they’d always let the joy of the Lord that’s in their spirit gain the mastery. It’s possible to experience indescribable joy, every day. Our opening scripture says, “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore,” meaning that the divine influence of God upon your life—the presence of God in your spirit brings indescribable joy to your life.

═══════════════ TOPIC: HIS ETERNAL GLORY IN US - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ SUNDAY 22ND MAY, 2022 ═══════════════ 🔰For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 CORINTHIANS 4:6).🔰 ═══════════════ The opening verse is an extraordinary description of something scientifically impossible. Notice the verse isn’t saying that God commanded the light to shine into the darkness; that would have been wonderful because the question then would be, “Where did the light come from?” Then we’d say, “It came from God; He shone into the darkness.” But this time, God didn’t shine the light into the darkness; rather, He commanded the light to shine forth from it. So, the light came out of darkness! This is the same God that has shined in our hearts—to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Remember, there was the ...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc, DD Saturday, May 21st 2022 YOU’RE CHRIST’S PROPERTY (You Belong to the Lord Jesus Christ)  📖TO THE BIBLE  Galatians 2:20 NASB “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. ▶️LET’S TALK You might have heard Christians say: “I’ve given my life to Christ.” It’s a total surrender of oneself to Christ. The declaration of Apostle Paul in Galatians 2:20 shows one of the greatest revelations of the new creation—the “you” that existed before Christ has ceased to live. The life of the old “you” has been replaced with God’s divine life, and you now live a carefree life because you’ve given Christ the right to rule and reign over your life. Though this happens at the point of salvation, not many of God’s children walk in the consciousness of this reality. If you’re born again, you no l...

═══════════════ PRAYING FOR OUR EVANGELICAL WORK  👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ SATURDAY 21ST MAY, 2022 ═══════════════ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 CORINTHIANS 4:4).  ═══════════════ The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 9:37, “…The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.” The harvest He’s referring to is the souls of men, the world of sinners. The labourers are those who are reaching out with the Gospel to win these lost souls to Christ. That’s why we have to pray and intercede for the harvest field, for the souls of men that we intend to reach within and beyond our catchments, because the harvest is ripe.  Prayer is our number one requirement in our evangelical work.
