LET LOVE LEAD
(Meditate On The Love Of God)

TO THE BIBLE - Matthew 5:43-44
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you."

LET'S TALK 
Across the world, disagreements between people, groups and nations often grow into hostility. History shows how quickly difference can turn individuals into enemies. Many societies even justify loving those who support you and rejecting those who oppose you. Yet the Lord Jesus profoundly challenges this thinking.

The society tells you to love your friends and hate your enemies. On the contrary, the Lord Jesus is teaching you in the portion of the scripture you've just read to love both your friends and enemies. It's important to note that He was addressing men who weren't born again; people who still thought of their enemies as flesh and blood. Sadly, some young people still think this way, and sometimes pray against their classmates or peers, saying, "Oh Lord! Fight against my enemies, destroy them..."

You can't be God-conscious until you're conscious of God's love. This is why you must always take out time to meditate on the love of God. Think about His grace, kindness and how He chose you to be His child, despite your imperfections.

Always remember that if you were the only one on earth, the Lord Jesus would still have given His life for you. Just as the man in Matthew 13:44 sold everything he had to buy a field because of the treasure in it, you're the treasure Jesus saw that He willingly gave His life for. When you let the life of God dominate you as you meditate on His Word, you'll cease to be enemy-conscious.

GO DEEPER
Romans 12:19-21 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. [20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals on his head. [21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

SPEAK
Dear heavenly Father, I have set my eyes on you and your Word alone. As I meditate on your goodness and your love, my heart is completely overwhelmed by your love for me. By your Spirit, I demonstrate this love to others every day, 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...
