╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 23rd August *CHOOSE KNOWLEDGE THAT BUILDS YOU* My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... *(Hosea 4:6)* Not all knowledge is helpful, so it’s important to choose the right kind. God wants you to fill your heart and mind with knowledge that builds you up. The best knowledge comes from God’s Word because it teaches you how to live, think, and make wise decisions. When you study the Bible and listen to godly teaching, your faith becomes stronger.  This kind of knowledge helps you grow into the wonderful person God created you to be. Always choose to learn things that encourage your faith and help you become wiser, stronger, and more excellent every day. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *Colossians 1:9* For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in al...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Sunday, August 23rd 2026_ *IGNORANCE IS COSTLY* _(Store Up the Word in Your Heart)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Hosea 4:6*  _“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”_ *LET’S TALK* There’s a touching story about a wealthy man who lived like a pauper, unaware that a vast inheritance had already been credited to his name. He struggled daily, begged for help, and endured needless suffering, not because he lacked resources, but because he lacked knowledge. The tragedy wasn’t poverty; it was ignorance. Sin and the devil aren’t as much the problem of many Christians as ignorance is. Jesus dealt with the problem of sin and paralysed the devil, but the only thing standing between some folks and the glorious life is their ignorance of God’s Word. That’s the reason they suffer. God said, *“My people are destroyed (they experience hardships, defeat, sickness, poverty and all kinds of sufferings) because they lack revelation knowledge”* (Hosea 4:6). This is t...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Sunday, August 23rd 2026_  *CHRIST—THE GOD-MAN DELIVERER* _And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God_ *(Matthew 16:16)* We have to understand something about the name, Christ. It’s the English form of the Greek *“Christos,”* and that is the Greek form of the Hebrew *“Messiah.”* What does *“Messiah”* mean? It means the God-man deliverer. That’s why Jesus is called the Anointed One, the God-man Messiah.  From the prophecies of Moses and the other prophets, they understood that a Messiah would come, the God-man would come, and that this God-man would deliver them. And what kind of deliverance were they expecting? The ultimate deliverance! It was the deliverance from all evil and from all that’s human. Why did the Jews think that way? It’s because they knew that what was human had become corrupted. They knew the story of how man fell in the Garden of Eden through Adam’s transgression. Thus, t...

🔴Many today miss church because of football practice, online games, social media, movies, or hanging out with friends.  🔴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. 🔴The Lord Jesus Christ warns us of the need to be careful lest our hearts become overcharged with surfeiting.  📖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. 🔴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.  🔴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...
