— You got engaged.  
— You moved in together.  
— You tell yourselves nothing is happening.  

❌️ The testimony you are giving is still false.  

Why it remains completely wrong.

The question: Is it right for Christians to get engaged and start living together even if they have not announced it to the church? 

Pastor Chris answered without hesitation. 

❗️Absolutely wrong. You cannot live together as husband and wife before you are married. This is not only about whether you are sleeping together. 

The act of sharing a home already gives the wrong testimony. People will assume you are married. When the wedding cards finally appear months later, the confusion is already created.  

❗️The world’s standards are not the Church’s standards. 

Some people in the world still refuse to live that way out of ordinary decency. How much more those who carry the name of Christ?

You cannot put money together for a house and then claim one person is in room one and the other in room four. The arrangement itself is improper. It places you in the position of husband and wife without the covenant that creates those rights and that public witness.

❗️If you are already in that situation, Pack. 

One of you leaves. The other remains. Do not move together to a new place and continue the same arrangement under a different address. End the shared living. Restore the clear boundary. 

Engagement is not marriage. Sharing a home is not permitted while you are still unmarried.

The issue is testimony as much as purity. You are communicating something false to everyone who sees you. 

Christians are not free to give that impression. You cannot live as husband and wife before you are married. 

❗️Keep the lines clean. Wait for the covenant. Anything less damages both your witness and your future.

Separate now if you are already together. Honour the order God established.  

The home comes after the covenant.

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...
