╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 16th August *LEARN GOD'S WORD* Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. *(2 Timothy 2:15)* God wants His children to know His Word. The Bible says people can get into trouble when they don’t know what God has said (Hosea 4:6). When you learn God’s Word, it helps you understand how to live and make the right choices. It also helps your faith grow strong. Just like a lamp lights the way in the dark, God’s Word shows you the right path to follow. The more you study the Bible and listen when it is taught, the wiser you become.  Always love and learn God’s Word, because it guides you and helps you live a joyful and victorious life. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *2 Timothy 3:16-17* All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for c...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Sunday, August 16th 2026_ *PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL* _(Run Your Race with Purpose)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Philippians 3:14* _“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”_ *LET’S TALK* Some runners start a race strong but falter before the finish line. Others stumble at the first sign of resistance. But the one who finishes strong is remembered—not for how fast they ran at the start, but for how they ran when the pressure was greatest. There’s a race of life, and everyone is involved in that race, whether or not they know it. When Paul said, *“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,”* the idea most folks get is that of someone inching his way slowly through a press to reach the goal. The Greek word translated *“press”* is *“dioko”*, and it means *“to run swiftly as in a race so as to win a prize.”* Not only is it important for you to know that you have a race to run, it is even ...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Sunday, August 16th 2026_  *YOUR MENTAL LIBRARY* _And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?_ *(Matthew 9:4)* Did you know that we have far more responsibility for our destiny than most people realize? What happens in your life has a lot to do with you—your decisions, your words, your thoughts, and the structure of your mind. Much of what your life turns out to be is the making of your mind. The Lord Jesus posed a striking question in our opening scripture: *“Why do you reason the way you do?”* That question goes to the root of many people’s challenges. Their reasoning is their undoing. You reason the way you do because of the information you’ve received over time. That’s your mental library—the *“books”* on the shelf of your mind. The thoughts you’ve imbibed, the things you’ve listened to, and the ideas you’ve accepted are what shaped your life. You’re the product of the information you’ve taken ...

📖Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 🔴The Bible strongly enjoins that we take our physical presence, our onsite attendance in church services, very seriously. Those who don’t heed this admonition are in error and not to be emulated.  🔴Many have become so used to participating in services online and have lost sight of the original purpose of online church meetings; they’re not meant to replace your physical presence in the church at the times you’re supposed to be there.   🔴The provision of online platforms for church services was never intended to be a matter of convenience but a necessity for those who, due to circumstances that may be beyond their immediate control, are unable to attend in person. It is not meant for those who simply do not “feel” like going to church but for those who truly can’t for one reason or the o...
