HERALDS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it (Psalm 68:11).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

The Gospel has been entrusted to us to publish in every nation and to every creature according to the words of the Master in Mark 16:15, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” In these last days, God’s Word is reaching places and impacting people that were once considered out of reach, transforming lives in every continent. 

Each testimony affirms that the Word of God is living and active, producing salvation, healing, restoration, and even raising the dead. The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and His power remains unchanged. We function today as interpreters and publishers of His divine truth.

We didn’t create the message; we deliver it. The apostles and prophets of old received it by the Spirit and by the same Spirit, wrote it down. They played their role in disseminating the message, but today, we’re the ones on the scene, taking the work further by translating and distributing it in every language and in all nations.

One day, every labourer in the Gospel, every preacher, interpreter, translator, giver, and distributor will be rewarded by the Lord. Not one effort will go unnoticed. Therefore, refuse to be weary; let your passion for the spread of the Gospel be unquenchable.

The world desperately needs the Gospel for their salvation. And beyond that, they must be taught God’s Word so they can know their rights, privileges, heritage, and identity in Christ and live the life that pleases Him. That’s the joy of the Master—that they become His joint heirs, reigning with Him!

This world belongs to Him. His Kingdom is eternal and universal. The earth is only one part of all that belongs to Him, yet He came here to give His life for us. We’re the ones He died for, His peculiar treasure, His heritage, and His workmanship.

Therefore, every life transformed makes our mission worth it. Every testimony affirms that the Gospel is divine. And in a world full of trouble, confusion, and fear, we are the solution. We are the answer. Our work in the Gospel is critical. We’re the hope of the nations. We’re heralds of a message that works.

PRAYER 

Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of publishing your divine truths and bringing salvation to the ends of the earth. I am empowered by your Spirit to take the Gospel everywhere, transforming lives and nations. Through me, the knowledge of Christ spreads rapidly and prevails, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Mark 16:15 NKJV; And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

Romans 10:13-15; For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 ESV that is, in Christ God was reconciling[a] the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

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 ...
