 CUSTODIANS OF TRUTH


🗓️ SUNDAY 11 JUNE 2023


📖 ════════       

TO THE BIBLE: 

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in (Isaiah 26:2)


👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD 

━━━━━━━━━

I'll like you to observe two things that qualify a nation to come into the gates of God. The first is righteousness. The second is that the nation must have and walk in the truth. What nation is this custodian and observer of the truth?


God's Word is Truth and His truth was given to us in Christ Jesus. Thus the Church of Christ is this nation that keeps the truth. Paul writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3:15 called the house of God which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. We belong in the Church which is the custodian of the truth. The Church is a righteous nation. We're God-like in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24)


The Bible says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21) Everyone who has accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour has been made righteous.


In Ephesians 4:25 (AMPC), Paul highlights that we were created in true righteousness and holiness And put on the new nature (the regenate self) created in God's image (God-like) in true righteousness and holiness. If you walk with sin consciousness you wouldn't know that you're righteous. But His gate is opened to the righteous ones-the Church! What a blessing!


Peter corroborate this in his first epistle when he called us a holy wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC) 


We're a peculiar nation, born in righteousness, producing fruits of righteousness and proclaiming His truth in righteousness.


PRAYER

Righteous Father, your peace and prosperity reign in the nations of the world, as we your Church, proclaim your truth and righteousness around the world. We overturn the structures, system and schemes of satanic propagation of deception and fear across the nations and we declare that your will be done in all the earth, as it is in heaven, in Jesus Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
