πŸ”΄ If some of you haven't gone to school, or you've taken school lightly, I want to tell you: go to school.

πŸ”΄ Not because of a certificate. Go to school to enlighten your mind.

πŸ”΄ *What does school do for you?* We are living in a day when many leaders and political leaders are not interested in the education of their people. And you should not blame them. They have a lot of trouble. They have a lot of problems.

πŸ”΄ But if they do not care about your education, you should care about your education.

πŸ”΄ Education is not so you can get a good job.

πŸ”΄ School education never made anybody rich. We already know that.

— But you need to go to school because it inspires you. 
— School teaches you how to learn. 
— School trains you to research knowledge and information. 
— It places you in the pathway of information.

πŸ”΄ The blessing of education cannot be overemphasized.

πŸ”΄ It expands your perspective. It helps you understand the world differently.

πŸ”΄ Study. Learn. Train your mind.

⚪ For example, I said something to you. Jesus said:

> "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." (Acts 1:8)

πŸ”΄ Because I went to school, it was easy for me to ask a question:

❓ What is power?

❓Why did Jesus use that word? What does it mean?

πŸ”΄ Someone who has not trained himself to think may hear "power" and immediately think about political power, physical strength, or authority.

πŸ”΄ But from my educational background, I could reason differently.

— Power is the ability to cause change.

πŸ”΄ But even that definition was not enough for me.

πŸ”΄ I understood that Jesus was not talking about potential ability. He was talking about dynamic ability.

*So I described it as:*

πŸ”΄ "The dynamic ability to cause changes."

πŸ”΄ That understanding came from a refined perspective. It made the words of Jesus more meaningful to me.

πŸ”΄ Look at Moses.

God used Moses.

Moses was educated in all the wisdom of Egypt, while the other Israelites lived as slaves and were denied that opportunity.

πŸ”΄ God needed a leader whose mind had been refined. Someone who could understand.

πŸ”΄ Now, education does not mean having a PhD.

πŸ”΄ In fact, the higher many people go academically, the more specialized they become.

πŸ”΄ And as specialization increases, their area of understanding often becomes narrower and narrower until they know almost nothing outside their specialized field.

πŸ”΄ True education is not knowing everything about one thing.

πŸ”΄ True education is knowing a little about everything rather than knowing much about one thing and nothing about everything else.

Think about that.

πŸ”΄ Paul also went to school.

Paul was trained by one of the most educated men of his time—Gamaliel.

Because of that training, it became easier for him to understand certain truths communicated to him by the Spirit of God.

*This is why I tell young people:*

— Do not take school lightly.

— School will not make you rich.

🚨 Forget that idea.

πŸ”΄ I know you have seen people who went to school and remained broke. Because of that, some people conclude that school is useless.

No.

I am not telling you to go to school to get money.

πŸ”΄ School will not give you money.

But school will open your mind so that when money comes, you will know what to do with it.

Without education, you may have natural business sense. You may even have good ideas.

But in today's world, your ability to compete will be limited.

You may eventually need to hire someone with the knowledge and training that you neglected.

That is why you must not allow anyone to cheat you out of your education.

Make up your mind that you will go to school.

πŸ”΄ And remember, school is not limited to four walls.

▪️Go to the library.

▪️Take time to read.

▪️Buy notebooks.

▪️Write notes.

▪️Study for yourself.

πŸ”΄ Many parents here—and many parents at home—studied on their own. Some even earned qualifications through home study.

πŸ”΄ If it was possible then, it is still possible today.

What matters is your commitment to learning.

πŸ”΄ Don't sleep through your morning.

Don't waste the season God gave you to prepare.

Don't postpone your future.

Train your mind.

Develop yourself.

Read.

Study.

Learn.

Grow.

And position yourself for the future God has prepared for you.

GOD BLESS YOU πŸ™

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
