πŸ”΄Many today miss church because of football practice, online games, social media, movies, or hanging out with friends. 

πŸ”΄A young man once told me he couldn’t make time to go to church on Sunday because he had to play soccer. How sad.

πŸ”΄The Lord Jesus Christ warns us of the need to be careful lest our hearts become overcharged with surfeiting. 

πŸ“–Luke 21:34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

πŸ”΄Avoid overindulgence in the things you're interested in or like to do, so much so that you get lost in them. This includes spending too much time on phones, games, entertainment, and social media. 

πŸ”΄1 John 2:15-17 says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 

πŸ”΄Sports, school activities, clubs, and hobbies are good, but they must never replace your walk with God. 

πŸ”΄You shouldn't let such engagements take pre-eminence over being in Church when you ought to. 

πŸ”΄If you give your wholehearted attention to such transient endeavours, you'll miss out on the most significant things of life: "For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come " (1 Timothy 4:8). 

πŸ”΄To miss church services for soccer, gaming competitions, extra lessons, or even a business meeting isn't the best for you.

πŸ”΄Even if you were ordered to go for such a business meeting or soccer practice on a Sunday morning, show yourself to be different and request a change in the schedule! Be bold enough to stand for your faith, even when it feels uncomfortable. 

πŸ”΄Show yourself to be spiritual. 

πŸ”΄Don't let the things of the Spirit be relegated to second place in your life.

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...
