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

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...
