*YOUR LOVE-WALK*


_Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you_ *(Ephesians 4:31-32)*


Challenges will come; they may come from people around you or those from afar, but remain unflustered. Never repay evil with evil. You must walk in love at all times. The Lord Jesus said, *“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another”* (John 13:35).


In Matthew 5:44, the Lord said, *“…Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”* We’re to emulate the Lord in our love-walk. Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV, says, *“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us….”*


Can you take the insults without fighting back? Can you endure the blows and respond like the Master did, saying, *“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”?* You must overcome this hurdle. You should never entertain bitterness, as it will hinder your progress in the spirit. It doesn’t matter who you harbour bitterness against—friends, neighbours, strangers, family—it’ll impede your growth. 


Bitterness and all negative emotions are clogs in the wheel of progress; therefore, get rid of them from your life and choose the love-way. Love is more than a smile or a kind exchange of words. It’s a state of your heart that you live out. It starts in your heart, and then you act on it. You develop a genuine concern and appreciation for others. You see God in them because they belong to Him. When this becomes real to you, your life will be inspiring and impactful. Praise God!


*CONFESSION*


_I choose to walk in love, just as Christ loved me and gave Himself for me. I embrace the love-way and respond with kindness; I’m quick to forgive. Thank you, Lord, for making me an expression of your love, bringing healing, joy and peace to those around me, in Jesus' Name. Amen._


*FURTHER STUDY:*


*Ephesians 4:31-32* Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: *32* And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.


*Ephesians 5:1-2* Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; *2* And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.


*1 John 4:7-8* Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. *8* He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

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...
