🔴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!

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

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

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

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

🔴Success is relative and is measured at different stages, never forget that.

🔴Focus on your race of life!

📖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….”

🔴Follow your race track.

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

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...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
