πŸ”΄Two friends were building their houses: 


— One had laid a not-too-deep foundation and started erecting his bungalow, while the other one took his time to dig deep because he wanted to erect a ten-storied building. 


— The former finished his building and even started living in it, while the latter was still digging his foundation. 


— After a while, the first guy jeered and mockingly asked his friend, Hey! Are you still digging? I’ve finished building my own house! 


— When the second guy finished, the building was a majestic masterpiece, with the first house paling in comparison.


— It’s so clear they weren’t aiming for the same thing. 


— The fellow who spent a long time digging knew that his foundation had to be deep and firm enough to accommodate the tall building he intended to put up, because the higher you want to go, the deeper your foundation ought to be. 


— At the end of the day, when both houses were built, the difference between them was so clear!


πŸ”΄The Bible talks about the race that is set before you; thus, you’re not called to run someone else race. 


πŸ”΄It’s needless to engage in any kind of unhealthy rivalry or competition with others. 


πŸ”΄You’re only permitted to compete with yourself and outdo your past because you’re not running on the same racetrack. 


πŸ”΄That someone else is succeeding doesn’t mean you’re failing: it all depends on individual aims and targets or set out objectives. 


πŸ”΄Success is relative and is measured at different stages, never forget that.


πŸ”΄Focus on your race of life! 


πŸ“–Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith….”


πŸ”΄Follow your race track.


πŸ”΄Set your gaze upon the Master and run your race to win, seeking only to outdo your past.

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...
