*FULFIL YOUR PURPOSE TO HIS GLORY*

_For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them_ *(Ephesians 2:10)*

The life Christ has given us to live is to the glory of the Father. God always had a very clear agenda, a definite purpose for the world and universe He created and, in particular, a definite purpose for your life. When you study the Scriptures, you discover a remarkable consistency in God’s plan and an unmistakable clarity of purpose concerning His creation and your place in it.

You’re not in this world to balance the ecosystem. There’s a reason you were born at such a time as this, in the place where you are, with the gifts, abilities and opportunities entrusted to you. But it’s unfortunate that many go through life without ever discovering that purpose. 

Don’t just exist, driven by trends, pressures, circumstances, and changing conditions. That’s not God’s plan for you. He never intended for your life to be directed by circumstances, whether favourable or unfavourable. A life governed merely by external events eventually produces emptiness and inward frustration, regardless of outward success. The world may admire the seeming accomplishments of such individuals, yet deep within, there remains the painful awareness that they never truly fulfilled their purpose for being.

The most important thing for anyone to do in this world is to discover and fulfil God’s purpose for their lives. And this can only come through a genuine relationship with Him. Purpose is not discovered through speculation, human philosophy, or personal ambition. It’s revealed through fellowship with the Lord and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 

When you truly come to know the Lord and walk in fellowship with Him, there comes a certainty in your spirit of the divine direction and the heavenly vision for your life. More than that, the Holy Spirit helps you fulfil that purpose. He doesn’t merely reveal God’s plan to you; He empowers you to walk in it and make it happen. Therefore, live purposefully and walk with the consciousness that your life has meaning, direction, and divine significance. Through the Holy Spirit, fulfil your purpose to the glory of God.

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for giving my life meaning, direction, and divine purpose. I refuse to live aimlessly or be driven by circumstances. Through fellowship with your Spirit and the light of your Word, I walk in the path you ordained for me before the foundation of the world, fulfilling your purpose joyfully and effectively, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Jeremiah 1:5* Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

*Proverbs 19:21* There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

*Romans 8:28-29* And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. *29* For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

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...
