“KEEP KEEPING ON” (Learn To Endure Challenging Times In Hope)


Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD


📖TO THE BIBLE 2 Timothy 2:3 MSG “When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did.”


LET’S TALK⏭

“I can’t go on, Coach; it’s just too much pain!” Joan complained as she collapsed off her exercise bike, panting excessively. She had been running on the spot for an hour nonstop!


Coach Ben said to her, “If you want to win the race competition, and set that world record you’ve been dreaming of, you mustn’t use present pain as an excuse to not continue. You’ve got to train hard and persevere till you get that medal and world record.”


Perseverance is such an important virtue for every Christian to have. The Bible admonishes us to add it to our faith: “…Also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance...” (2 Peter 1:5-6). The key word that describes what the Apostle Peter is talking about is endurance—“stickability!”


It refers to staying power—the ability to “keep keeping on” in the face of opposition! No matter what happens, refuse to buckle under any pressure; endure with hope. Things may look hard and very challenging; if you ever find yourself in such a situation, endure; go through it! Stick with what you believe! Don’t give up. In your life, learn to endure hardship with hope. Some people endure without hope, but perseverance without hope is useless. Your perseverance must be in expectation of a positive outcome; you’re hopeful of a better and brighter day ahead, and you create the picture in your mind.


Tough situations are for tough minds; those who faint or cower in the day of adversity are of little strength (Proverbs 24:10). Therefore, endure hardness with hope, joy, and gladness, knowing that, in all things, you’re more than a conqueror.

Galatians 5:22-23 GNB; Hebrews 10:35-36


🔊Pray:

Dear Father, I thank you for giving me hope in Christ Jesus. I know that my tomorrow is greater than my today because the path of the just is like a shining light that shines brighter and brighter until the perfect day. I’m confident to face anything that comes my way because I know my victory is assured, in Jesus’ Name. Amen

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...

🌨️RHAPSODY OF REALITIES🌨️

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE  SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...

The light of God is in you, in your spirit. You bear the perfections of Christ. Hallelujah! The Bible says, “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). You’re truly the living tabernacle of God! Christ is alive in you. We are the last generation; the generation called to manifest His glory in the earth. This is what the earth has been waiting for. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” We’re in office; we’ve taken our place of dominion, impacting our world with the glory of God.
