A man cannot know righteousness unless he knows God; that's why in the world, righteousness is not a subject. Rather, they talk about doing right or wrong, and all of that is based on man’s moral standards, which changes is based on one’s location and what the society says is right or wrong. So, right and wrong in the world is being defined and redefined by individuals and societies for themselves; but that’s not the way it is with God. God has His choices, opinions and ways of doing things and that is His righteousness, and He revealed this to man through Jesus Christ. That is what the Gospel is about: God’s message sent through Jesus to human beings; God revealing His mind to human beings through Jesus Christ. click here for yesterday's Reality check

Pastor Chris   Saturday, June 11th, 2022 THE FACTS DON’T MATTER (Faith Considers the Word, Not Physical Fats!)  📖TO THE BIBLE   James 2:17-18 GNB “So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. But someone will say, “One person has faith, another has actions.” My answer is, “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions.” ▶️LET’S TALK When acting in faith, you don’t negotiate God’s instructions; you act on them. Faith doesn’t say, “Well, I know the Word of God says thus-and-thus, but let’s face the facts!” Faith neither faces nor considers the facts; it considers the Word and acts on it NOW! So, the faith that works is that which doesn’t negotiate the Word but believes it, speaks it, and acts accordingly. click on the link below for previous Rhapsody of Realities Teevo Act on the Word today. Faith is not a leap in the dark, but a leap on the Word. That’s how Abraham got his s...

Rev. Ray Okocha (CEC Member, Loveworld Inc). TOPIC: PRAYER: A SPIRITUAL CULTURE Texts: Ephesians 6:18, Luke 18:1 * THE MESSAGE * What is culture? Culture speaks of the behavior, characteristics,believes and attitude of a people. Any culture that celebrates prayer, will definitely impart prayer into the heart of it's people. Prayer is a spiritual culture (Ephesians 6:18, Luke 18:1) Prayer is a culture we must teach every member of our fellowships, cells etc. (Luke 2:36-37, Hebrews 5:7-8, Luke 3:21, Mark 1:35, Matthew 14:22). Prayer is a discipline. In prayer we are aligned into God's will and purpose for our lives (2 Timothy 1:3-4, Galetians 4:19, Colossians 4:12).

pastor Biodun lawal (Assistant secretary General of Loveworld inc.) TOPIC: EFFECTIVE LOCALITY CAPTURE: penetrating and dominating your locality through the cell system. Text: Numbers 13: 23-33 * THE MESSAGE * The purpose of the cell in an area is to capture that area for Christ. 6 Important points to note 1. Understand the vision of the cell ministry and understand your catchment. 5 Important points i. You must understand our vision ii. Understand that the vision requires urgency iii. Understand your part in the vision. iv. Understand your value in the vision. v. You must appreciate the role of your members in the vision. 2. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 11:19). NB: The problem of Samson wasn't Delilah, the problem of Samson was sleep (Judges 16:18-19). Sleep is one of the cause of leadership failure. 3. Renew your mind (Romans 12:2). Always Renew your mind with God's word. 4. Building capacity (Luke 14:31). Jesus was talking about abil...

Pastor Vale odu Thomas TOPIC: EFFECTIVE CELL MEETINGS Text: Habakkuk 2:2 THE MESSAGE The cell ministry is a process for growth. It's God's production machine. To have a growing church is to have an effective cell ministry. Four types of cell meetings 1. Prayer and planning meeting (Habakkuk 2:2, proverbs 21:5 MSG) week 1 is prayer and planning meeting, were prayer and proper planing for the month is made. You plan your outreach meeting in prayer and planning meeting. 2. Bibles study meeting: The Bible study meeting is informative, Educative and enlightening. As a pastor don't just allow your cell leaders or Bible study class teachers to teach the Bible study outline, teach them first before you allow them to teach their members.  The Bible study meeting is made to strengthen your church. 3. Outreach meeting: you cannot have a outreach meeting without a first timer. Your outreach meetings should be planned Effectively at the prayer and planning meeting. NB: The m...

Super session 1 Pastor Joy Amenkhienan (zonal Director of Christ Embassy Portharcout Zone 3) TOPIC: COURAGE Texts: (Joshua 1:9, 2 Chronicles 32:6-7, 1 Timothy 6:12). * THE MESSAGE * What is courage? Courage is the ability and the will to do what is right inspite of opposition. Every Christian needs to have courage. Courage is the ability to stand, not for what's right in the eyes of men, but what's right in God's eyes. Courage makes you fearless. You can also cause a fight when you have courage. Don't be afraid to fight. Create a fight (1 Timothy 1:18, 1 Tim 6:12). How do we fight? We fight through prayers (Ephesians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 14:18) Four (4) Important points to note 1. Pray always (Ephesians 6:18) 2. Pray in tongues more (1 Corinthians 14:18, Acts 1:8, Jude 1:20). The more tongues you speak, the more language of the Spirit you speak. 3. Affirmations (1 Samuel 17:22-20 & v 32-35 & v 43-46) (Hebrews 11:3)(2 Timothy 4:7) NB:...

Rev. Chris Oyakhilome Dsc.DD. Texts : Matthew 16:18, Jude 1:20, Ephesians 4:11-12. THE MESSAGE Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, He's the one that's building the church and He's building the church through you, because in building his church he need materials to build and that material is you. Prophecy is in two dimensions; one is  forth telling and the second one is foretelling. Forth telling means to speak forth, tell out or tell forward what is in the mind of God from your spirit, it's a declaration of events in the mind of God. while fore-telling is to tell ahead of time things in the mind of God concerning a people, place or events. Speaking in tongues and prophecy is praying in the spirit.   The smallest cell consist of two members, because Jesus said if two or three of you shall gather in my name, not one of you, because One person cannot gather together. Each part of the cell represent christ as eac...

Prayer helps you get into sync with God’s will and timing for your life. But if you don’t know God’s will and timing, things will happen in the earth that are neither in your interest nor in the Lord’s interest. This is why you must pray in the Spirit for the nations, for the Church of God, and for ministers of the Gospel around the world; pray as though the advancement of the kingdom depends on you only. We’re sent by God to enforce His will in the earth, using the Name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. click here for yesterday's Reality check

You must be intentional about your life. You can let your circumstances or feelings rule you, or you can take charge of your life from within. Anything that would change your life would have to begin from your heart. It's not outside you, stop running around. Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than to your comfort zone. You can imprison a man, but not an idea. Believe in something larger than yourself; dig within. Within you is the wellspring of good and greatness; and it's always ready to bubble up, if you just dig. You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there. Be ashamed to catch yourself idle doing unproductive things. Be disciplined to do what you must do. There are thousands of excuses for failure but never a good reason. Don't make this period a lifetime of feeding on your fears and irrelevant things, rather feed on His word because if the word gets into you, it becomes a God and a force in you th...

Friday, June 10th, 2022 FROM THE INSIDE OUT (Learn to Listen to Your Spirit)  📖TO THE BIBLE   1 Corinthians 6:17 “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” ▶️LET’S TALK When the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, He becomes one with your spirit and functions through your spirit. By learning to listen to your spirit, you’re actually listening to the Holy Spirit who lives within you.  click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities Teevo Man is a spirit, and his body is the house where he (the real man) lives. Though the spirit-man can’t be seen with the physical eyes, the characteristics of the human body are a reflection of the attributes of the human spirit, and he has spiritual senses, just as the body has its physical senses.  This is why it’s important, as Christians, that we live our lives from the inside out. By this, I mean that the circumstances of your life ought to be regulated by your spirit and not by the world and its sy...

FRIDAY, 10TH JUNE Speak 🗣️ The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”  I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ lives in me because the life that I now live in the body, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. He’s my Lord, my King and my all. Christ is my life; in Him, I live and move and have my being. Hallelujah!  My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost; every fiber of my being – from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet – is vitalized by the spirit of God. The life of God in me destroys sickness, disease, and infirmity; therefore, I’m uninfectable.  I am not ordinary; I refuse to accommodate any form of weakness in my body. In the Name of Jesus, I refuse arthritis, diabetes, cancer, tumor, paralysis, kidney failure, heart failure, or lung failure in my body. I ...

Faith is about acting on the integrity of God's word. In these challenging times, you can rely on the word of God. He said in John 15:7 "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. click here for yesterday's Reality check " All that's required for you is to abide in him and his words to be resident in you; are the words of Christ at home in you? When his words are at home in you, it's a blessings all the way; victories and success unlimited; your faith is built strong, then you're positioned to make a demand and create the kind of life you want, irrespective of circumstances._

═══════════════ TOPIC: THE FLESH HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED  👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ FRIDAY JUNE 10TH, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (GALATIANS 5:16). ═══════════════ The flesh is basically about your senses and appetites, and the things you desire to do. And the Bible tells us, “...they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts” (Galatians 5:24). Notice that verse doesn’t say, “They that are Christ’s are trying to or praying to crucify the flesh with the affections and lusts.” For the one crying to the Lord to help crucify the flesh, he’s praying the wrong prayer, struggling for nothing!  click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities Don’t find yourself in a struggle.

The daily products of our country depends on the strength of each system in the country. The mind of a country is the sum total of all the minds in the country. click here for yesterday's Daily juice A polluted mind results in a polluted action and a degraded behaviour. The people in a land are the ones that make up the totality of what the land has to offer. A place is not better than the individual minds that exist there. As individuals in our nation, the identity of our nation is derived from the identity of our persons. The change we truly seek begins with You and I.

THURSDAY, 9TH JUNE 2022 Speak 🗣️ “Whereby are given unto us exceeding precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4).  Dear Father, thank You for the glorious and triumphant life in Christ that You’ve brought me into – a place where there’s no sickness, disease, and infirmity. I thank You for Your indestructible life that flows in every fiber of my being, making me unsusceptible and impregnable to the attacks of the devil, in Jesus' Name.   I have the life and nature of God in me; I’ve put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. I’m excited about my new life in Christ. I’ve passed from death to life; from sin to righteousness; from sickness to health; from poverty to wealth. Praise God!  Dear Father, thank You for justifying me and making me unreproveable and unblameable in Your sight. I refuse to allow the...

Pastor Chris   Thursday, June 9th 2022 LIVE SPIRITUALLY (Follow God’s Kingdom-Principles) TO THE BIBLE: Romans 8:6 “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” LET’S TALK God’s Word shows us a clear pattern of what our lives should be like, but sadly some Christians make their lives difficult by living according to their natural, fleshly instincts. That means they respond to situations and circumstances instinctively, according to their natural senses. For example, someone says something nasty or abusive to them and their immediate reaction is to respond in kind and possibly even worse. Such fleshly instincts can’t get you far with God.  click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities Teevo You need to recognise that we’re in a spiritual kingdom that operates by definite principles. Ignorance of these principles will only lead to frustration and despondency. God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...” ...

═══════════════ TOPIC: PRAYER AND THE SPOKEN WORD  👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ THURSDAY JUNE 9TH, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (EPHESIANS 6:17).  ═══════════════ In Ephesians 6:10-18, everything the Apostle Paul listed was a protective part of our armour. The only offensive tool is “the sword of the Spirit,” which is the “Rhema” of God—the Word of God that’s spoken from your mouth—the out-breathing of the inspired Word of God for the hour and the season.  click here for yesterday's Rhapsody of Realities This is akin to the Apostle John’s description of the Lord in Revelation 1:16: “…out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword....” We find a similar expression in Revelation 2:16: “…I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.” This doesn’t mean a sword protrudes out of His mouth; rather, it refers to the Word of God!  ...

 

_Leave your anger; it does more harm to you than the person you are angry with! Most people see the worst in others- they see them through the eyes of their own anger, fear and limitation. Look for the best in others. See through the eyes of understanding. click here for yesterday's Daily juice I'm not suggesting that you are naive and you don't confront reality. The Word of God is reality. Don't make their mistake their identity and impute a negative intent on them. Be patient with people, we don't all understand things the same way at the same time. And here's the payoff for you: as you seek out the good in people, not only will they show up fully for you, but you will see more good in your world.

Pastor Chris   Wednesday, June 8th, 2022 TRAINED TO REIGN (It’s Time to Reign and Rule)  📖TO THE BIBLE   Romans 5:20-21 NIV “The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. LET’S TALK⏩ As a Christian, you have the life and nature of God, and this nature makes you think, talk, and act like Him; it causes you to reign in life as a king. Through the Word of God, you’re trained to reign, to see and think differently! 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” The Word of God is God’s instruction manual for training you in the life of righteousness and equipping you for greatness.  click here for previous Rhapsody of Realities ...

 

WENDESSDAY, 8th JUNE 2022 The Bible says in 1 John 5:11-12 that, “…this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”   I have the miracle-life of God in me. Therefore, I am an associate of the God-kind, and a partaker of the divine nature, having been made free of the corrupting influences, decadence, and destruction in the world. Today and always, I’m conscious of the transcendent life of glory and victory that God has given me through Christ Jesus.  The indestructible life of God is in me, therefore, sickness, disease, lack, and death can’t find a place in my life. The life and nature of God in me make me invincible and superhuman. I’m a product of God’s Word!   Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior! When He died, I died; when He was buried, I was buried with Him; now that He’s risen, I’ve been raised together with Him, with the re...

Don't shut your heart to the plight of suffering humanity; too many people are going through so much, many families are going through tough times.

═══════════════ SERVE GOD WITH REVERENCE 👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME ═══════════════ SUNDAY JUNE 5TH, 2022 ═══════════════ 📖 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers (ROMANS 1:9). ═══════════════ When you study the life of the Apostle Paul, it’ll be very clear to you why he was so successful in ministry. Paul understood what it meant to serve God with, and from, your spirit—with true reverence. Isn’t that akin to what Jesus said in John 4:23-24? He said, “God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him.” This was the life Paul lived.  When he said, “I serve God with my spirit,” he was simply stating how he lived every day.
