SHINE! 
(God Has Made You A Burning And A Shining Light)

TO THE BIBLE - Matthew 5:14,16 NKJV 
“You are the light of the world… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

LET’S TALK 
Imagine walking into a dark room and suddenly, a single candle is lit. Imagine walking into a dark room, and suddenly, a single candle is lit. That small flame reveals what was hidden, guides your steps, and brings clarity. This simple picture reveals a profound truth about your identity in Christ. You are that light! Not just any light, but the light of the world.

The Lord Jesus declared, “You’re the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14 NKJV). This is not a suggestion; it’s a divine command. God’s glory in you is meant to radiate through your words, your love, and your conduct. Your life as a Christian is designed to expose deception and to illuminate the path of righteousness for others.

Do not hide your faith or dim your light. Let your actions and your love reflect the transforming power of Christ within you. You are His epistle, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God (2 Corinthians 3:3). Even those who have never read the Bible can read Christ in you through your life.

Isaiah 60:1 NKJV commands, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” This is your call to action! God has made you a burning and shining light. So stand up, shine brightly, and illuminate your world with the truth, grace, and righteousness of the Gospel. Hallelujah!

GO DEEPER
Philippians 2:14-15 NLT Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.  

Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. [2] For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. [3] And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

PRAY
Dear Father, thank you for making me the light of the world. I shine brightly in my world today, illuminating lives with your love, truth and grace. My light draws men to Christ and glorifies you always, in Jesus’ Name. 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...
