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

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...
