DON’T FAINT IN THE

DAY OF ADVERSITY!

( No Quitting; No Backing

Down)

📖TO THE BIBLE - Proverbs 24:10

“If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.”

LET’S TALK➡️

Ever heard the saying, “Life is not a bed of roses”? Well, not the Christian life! It is, indeed, a bed of roses. Why else would the Psalmist say, “Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams…”

(Psalms 23:1-2 TLB). However, it’s a bed of roses that comes with tests and trials. Such challenging times are what our opening verse refers to as “the day of adversity.” Some believers dread such times and fervently pray to God to never to allow them go through them.However, to avoid situations that challenge your faith is to limit your spiritual growth and reduce your chances of promotion.

James 1:2 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” Why would God admonish you to rejoice when tests and challenges come at you on all sides? It’s because He knows that victory is in your spirit. Having been born again, you’ve become an overcomer and more than a conqueror. Consequently, no situation that you face should overwhelm you.

There are things that make you tough as a Christian, and if you don’t welcome them, you’d remain at the same level of faith and maturity. Therefore, your adversaries

are important in the toughening process, so never pray against them, no matter what troubles, problems and difficulties they bring your way. See challenges as spiritual training that builds your strength and confidence in God. Welcome them to strengthen your faith-muscles, and you’ll discover they’re the agents for your promotion.

I have known only one journey in life: upward and forward. I don’t have ups and downs. That doesn’t mean challenges don’t come, but I always win. No matter what you face in school, at home, or with friends, refuse to quit. So welcome challenges; welcome troubles because they’re the contrary winds that help to drive your roots deeper. And the more the wind blows against you, the higher you’ll fly. Hallelujah!

Romans 8:28; Ephesians 6:10-13

Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for helping me see through your Word how the challenges that come my way strengthen my faith and result in my promotion as I handle them with the right attitude. I'm fully convinced of my eternal victory over Satan, the world and every adversity; therefore, I rejoice, in Jesus'Name. Amen.

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...
