COMPELLED BY THE  
LOVE OF CHRIST 
(Let The Love Of Christ Motivate You To Preach The Gospel)

LET’S TALK
A fire doesn’t need encouragement to burn; once ignited, it spreads naturally, consuming everything within reach. The Christian life is not sustained by obligation or religious routine, but by an inner flame—the love of Christ burning in the heart. When that love is truly kindled within you, it produces movement, urgency, and purpose. 

You don’t merely exist; you live with divine intention.The ensuing 15th verse of 2 Corinthians 5 in the NIV is  
equally very inspiring. It says, “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” This scripture unveils the call to a purposeful life—one compelled by Christ’s love and invested in soul-winning. When the love of Christ takes hold of your heart, it dismantles fear and fuels passion. It becomes the driving force behind your boldness to preach the Gospel.

Always remember this powerful truth: the Lord Jesus died for all. That means every person you encounter—no matter their background, condition, or location—is as valuable to God as Jesus is. This revelation is the bedrock of effective witnessing. The Scripture further declares, “…it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nation… And you are witnesses of these things” (Luke 24:46–48 NKJV). How then  could you remain silent? In your sphere of contact—whether in a bus, train, cab, a hospital, school, or maybe even a workplace you volunteer—preach the Gospel.

The glorious Gospel of the blessed Lord has been committed to your trust (1Timothy 1:11). It is real, it is true, and  it is the power of God unto salvation. When you’re motivated by  His love, excuses dissolve. You won’t need to be pushed; you’ll be propelled. Let that love compel you today to speak to someone,  pray for someone, and lead someone into the Kingdom.

GO DEEPER
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: [15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

PRAY
I'm compelled by the love of Christ, and I see people through His eyes and reach out with His compassion; I'm bold, loving, and an effective soul winner. I'm sensitive to the leading of the Spirit to minister the Gospel to the weary, and bring healing and health to the sick because I'm marvellously helped of God, Amen.

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 ...
