╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 26th September  *BRING GOOD THINGS TO PASS* A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things… *(Matthew 12:35)* Your heart is like a treasure box. That’s why the Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence (Proverbs 4:23). Because whatever you keep inside your heart will eventually show in your life. Jesus said that a good person brings out good things from a good heart. That means your thoughts and words are important. So, fill your heart with God’s Word. Just like Joshua was told to meditate on the Word day and night (Joshua 1:8), you should do the same. See yourself strong, kind, and successful. During your time of prayer, the Holy Spirit will give you good ideas and pictures in your heart. Speak those good things boldly, because your words, spoken in faith, help bring God’s blessings into your life. *📖SCRIPTURE ...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Saturday, September 26th 2026_ *ENDUED WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES* _(Don’t Compare Yourself With Someone Else)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Ephesians 4:7* _“But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.”_ *LET’S TALK* *“Do you ever feel like you’re just… ordinary?”* Khloe asked, frowning. *“Ordinary? Not at all,”* replied Johnny. *“God has put special abilities in you that no one else can express the way only you can.”* Khloe looked puzzled: *“Special abilities? Me? I’ve never really thought of myself that way.”* *“That’s exactly why you need to hear this,”* Johnny said with a smile. *“No one was ever like you; no one is like you, and no one will ever be like you. You’re the only one of you that God has. So, be the best of you.”* The Living Bible translation renders our opening scripture this way: *“However, Christ has given each of us special abilities; whatever He wants us to have out of His rich storehouse of gifts.”* I lik...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Saturday, September 26th 2026_  *THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS* _For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him_ *(2 Corinthians 5:21)* In Romans 5:1, we read something absolutely profound that also parallels what we read in our theme scripture. It says, *“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”* Being justified by faith means we’ve been declared righteous by faith. Therefore, you must affirm and live in the consciousness of that righteousness.  Every so often, declare, *“In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am righteous with the righteousness of Christ.”* If you don’t do that, you may struggle endlessly, trying to attain by works what God already gave you as a gift. Many live this way without realizing it. On days when they think they’ve behaved well or done nothing wrong, they feel more confident that...

🔴 I teach the people certain things. I tell them, when you’re out there—at work, at home, in the street, anywhere you are—and you hear people criticizing ministers of God, don’t join them.  ❗️Be wiser than them. 🔴 Because you want the Word of God to be productive in your life. That will be your edge over others: something they don’t know that you know. 🔴 I tell them, never criticize ministers. Stay away from it. When others do it, stay away from it, so that the Word of God that you are learning will produce results in your life.  🔴 They’ve never heard me say an unkind word against those who even criticize me. So I tell them, don’t do it. Because you want the Word of God to produce results for you. ❗️And that’s what I tell you now.  🔴 You’ve got to be smart. When you find people criticizing ministers, you’ve got to shut your trap. Get out of there. If they try to drag you in, say, “Look, I don’t engage in such discussions. It’s a matter too high for me. It...

╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 25th September  *CELEBRATE GOD'S GRACE* And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. *(2 Corinthians 9:8)* Have you ever done something that felt difficult at first, but you were able to do it? That’s God’s grace at work in you. Grace is God’s special help. It helps you understand your schoolwork, make wise choices, and do things you couldn’t do on your own. Every good thing you achieve is possible because God is helping you. In James 4:6, the Bible says God gives grace to the humble. Being humble means remembering that God is the one who gives you the ability. And when you succeed, don’t say, *“I did it all by myself.”* Instead, thank the Lord for helping you. So, celebrate God’s grace at work in your life!  *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *2 Pet...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Friday, September 25th 2026_ *TAKE YOUR PLACE AS THE “HUIOS”* _(Don’t Remain In The Babyhood Stage)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Romans 8:19*  _“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”_ *LET’S TALK* When God created the world, everything He made was good, and He gave man dominion over his creation. But when sin entered through Adam, death came in, and everything became subject to decay. Today, the world—living and non-living—is crying out for freedom. People struggle with sickness, poverty, and failures; even resources are misused. The sons of God are the world’s only hope. The Scripture says all creation is waiting for the manifestation of the *“sons”* of God—the mature followers of Christ who know how to stand strong and make a difference, even as teens! These mature sons know how to overcome sickness, lack, and obstacles, and bring hope to others. Make up your mind not to remain in the babyhood ...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Friday, September 25th 2026_  *MAINTAIN SPIRITUAL FOCUS* _Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee_ *(Isaiah 26:3)* Focus is the concentration of attention, energy, and vision on something. When God tells you to focus, He wants you to be undistracted. One of Satan’s strategies against God’s people is distraction. He seeks to shift your attention away from the eternal realities of God’s Kingdom to circumstances, fears, pressures, and the transient things of life. But we’re not ignorant of his devices. The Psalmist said, *“The godless spread lies about me, but I focus my attention on what you’re saying”* (Psalm 119:69 MSG). What a mindset! In the midst of opposition, accusations, and distractions, he fixed his attention on the Word. That’s the secret of spiritual stability and progress. When your attention is focused on God’s Word, your spirit remains aligned with truth, victory, a...

🔴 Growth is not something you pray for. It’s not a miracle. Growth is based on revealed principles and means. That’s something you do.  ❓️Do you pray about your body growing? You just eat. You just do the things you’re supposed to do, and your body will grow. Growth is not a miracle. Same thing about finances. 🔴 When God calls you, it’s inside your spirit from birth. Do you understand? That thing was already inside me. I remember my first time after a long while—different story—but I came into the fellowship like this. I was not one of the leaders at the time; I was just a member, and I looked around. My question was, “Why are we so few?” I wasn’t asking the leaders. I was asking myself, “Why are we so few?” And I made up my mind to answer the question. I wanted to do something about it. 🔴 I went out winning souls. Then they made me a Bible study class teacher. My class was always the largest because I would win souls and bring them to my class. The chief Bible study...

╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 23rd September  *BE HAPPY TODAY!*  This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. *(Psalm 118:24)* Do you know that as God’s child, you can win and have a beautiful life every day? You don’t have to wait until you grow older or receive a gift to be happy. So, first, celebrate the progress you make today. It’s good to dream big and work hard in school or at home. But while you’re learning and growing, be glad about the things you can do now. When you’re thankful for your day, you’ll feel peaceful, and it’ll create room for more blessings. So, take time to thank God for His blessings today. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *1 Timothy 6:6* But godliness with contentment is great gain. *LET'S PRAY* Dear gracious Father, I’m full of joy always, and I live victoriously today, knowing you have perfected all that concerns me, in Jesus’ Na...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Wednesday, September 23rd 2026_ *FILTER IT* _(Guard Your Heart)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Proverbs 4:23* _“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life….”_ *LET’S TALK* Filters are designed to allow only the good parts of a solution or mixture pass through, while the undesirable parts are caught and held back. That’s the same principle the Spirit of God shows us in our opening scripture. Your mind is the door to your spirit, and whatever thoughts or words you allow through will shape your spirit. That’s why you need to screen and filter what enters your heart. Every day, we hear and see all kinds of information, positive and negative. You need a spiritual filter: guard your heart and refuse to process anything that doesn’t line up with God’s Word. For example, if someone says, *“Life is impossible for teens like us,”* or you hear bad news about the economy, don’t let those words define you. Remind yourself: *“God has great p...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Wednesday, September 23rd 2026_  *LOVE THE CHURCH FROM YOUR HEART* _Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood_ *(Acts 20:28).* The Church of Jesus Christ is the most powerful organism in the world. We’re far more than an organization; we’re an organism. The Church is a living thing, the living body of Christ in the earth. This is why your attitude towards the Church matters a great deal. You must consciously love the Church of God from the depths of your heart.  The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, describes the Church as that which God *“purchased with his own blood.”* The Lord Jesus paid an extraordinary price for the Church, the price of His blood, His very life. Therefore, to love Christ is to love His Church.  This love must go beyond the walls of your local assembly or denomination...

🔴 Did I get your attention? He went to hell when He died. He didn't go to heaven. 🔴 There's a little bit of a construction problem when you read what happened on the cross. Jesus turned to the thief on the right, and He said to him: > “I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise.” — Luke 23:43 🔴 But Jesus didn't go to paradise that day, right? No. He descended to hell. 🔴 The problem is the punctuation. The original Greek manuscripts did not have the punctuation that we see in our English Bibles today. The placement of the comma changes the meaning of the statement.  ✅️ It says, “I say to you today, you shall be with me in paradise.” ❌️ Not, “I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise.” ❗️“I say to you today, you shall be with me in paradise.” 🔴 But it was translated wrongly and said, “I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise.” 🔴 No, He didn't go to paradise. He went to hell. ❗️Because He was made sin. And when you'...

📌One of the most important part of you is your mind (not your brain - the brain is the hardware and the mind creates the software). Care for your mind, make friends with it, always feed it faith-filled words, engage it in positive activity, exercise it with knowledge and divine wisdom. 📌Like a garden returns fragrance and beauty according to the care invested, so your mind will repay you with thoughts, ideas and visions of great beauty when tended and invested with care. 📌Your mind is not made of matter but it does matter what you give it and what you create with it. Where your mind goes, you go. What your mind creates becomes your destiny.

🎯Every challenge carries a lesson, and every lesson creates an opportunity for growth. Challenges test our patience and determination, but meaningful learning transforms every experience into a stepping stone toward a better life and shapes a better character.  🎯No matter what life throws at you, you're always responsible for how you act no matter how you feel. The less you respond to negative people, the more peaceful your life will become.  🎯We would enjoy life a whole lot more if we get good at knowing what to ignore and what to focus on. Starve your ditractions and feed your focus. Life is so much brighter when you focus on what truly matters. Your focus determines your reality.

╔════════════════╗   RHAPSODY OF REALITIES        FOR EARLY READERS ╚════════════════╝  PASTOR CHRIS *Monday, September 21st, 2026* *HOW TO SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR JESUS* 📖 *_"...God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself...and has committed to us the word of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:19)._* When you love Jesus, you'll want others to know Him too. One way to show your love for Jesus is by doing His Word. Jesus said, *_"...Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature"_* (Mark 16:15). You can tell your friends at school, your neighbours, and even people in your community about Jesus. Tell them that God loves them and sent Jesus for them. Loving Jesus isn't just saying it with your mouth; it's doing what He says. So, be bold and kind. Share the Good News with every child you meet. That's how you show your love for Jesus! *📚 SCRIPTURE READING -* Matthew 28:19-20 *||* *_"[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all na...

*Monday, September 21st, 2026* *Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD* *LET GOD ARISE IN YOU* *(Stir God's Word In Your Spirit)* 📖 *_TO THE BIBLE - Psalm 68:1_* *_"Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those also who hate him flee before him."_* *_LET'S TALK ⏩_* When God arises in a person's life, all enemies are scattered, and all that hate Him flee in terror! But how does God arise in your life? Is it just by praying, *"O God, arise; defeat my enemies"?* What you do matters. Firstly, notice the words *"Let God arise"*; that's another way of saying, *"Allow God to arise."* It's your choice to let Him move in your life. Since God and His Word are one: *_"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"_* (John 1:1), giving His Word first place in your life lets Him arise. God doesn't need to part the heavens to work in you; He already lives in you. As you med...

*📜UNVEILING OF A DIVINE UNION* *Monday, September 21st* *Pastor Chris* _*📖But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17).*_ The moment you were born again, you were brought into an inseparable union with the Lord. The Bible doesn’t say you received help from Him or became associated with Him from a distance. Rather, it says, “he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit”; not two spirits trying to work together but one inseparable spirit.  This is who the new creation is; the Spirit of God has been so mingled with your spirit. This is far beyond religion. The Apostle Peter gives us further insight into this in 2 Peter 1:4. He says through God’s exceeding great and precious promises, we’ve become “partakers of the divine nature.”  The expression translated “partakers of the divine nature” comes from the Greek construction, “koinōnoi theias physeōs,” meaning associates or companions of the God-kind. What a revelation! By natural birth, you ...

_Medicine is not only found in a bottle or tablet... Being happy is medicinal, being grateful is medicinal and forgiving others and yourself is also medicinal._  _Sometimes, you have to eat your words, chew your ego, swallow your pride, and accept you're wrong, it's not weakness or giving up, it means you are growing up._  _When a bird is alive, it eats ants, when it dies, ants eat it. One tree can be made into a million matchsticks, but only one matchstick is required to burn millions of trees. Circumstances can change at any time, don't devalue or hurt someone because of their present situation. You may be powerful today, but time is more powerful than you are._

╔════════════════╗   RHAPSODY OF REALITIES        FOR EARLY READERS ╚════════════════╝  PASTOR CHRIS *Sunday, September 20th, 2026* *LIVING FOR THE LORD* 📖 *_"For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's" (Romans 14:8)._* Living for the Lord means doing what pleases Him at all times. That means your choices, thoughts, words, and actions are all for Him. When you live this way, you won't take things too personally or stay angry for long. The Bible tells us that Samuel became very upset with the children of Israel when they asked for a king (1 Samuel 8:4-7). But God corrected Samuel. The people *_"...have not rejected you,"_* the Lord said, *_"...they have rejected Me."_* If anyone was to be upset, it was the Lord, not Samuel. God helped Samuel understand not to take things personally. In the same way, when someone hurts your feelings, talk to the Lord about it ...

*Sunday, September 20th, 2026* *Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD* *FREEDOM'S TRUE PURPOSE* *(Serving, Not Indulging)* 📖 *_TO THE BIBLE - Galatians 5:13_* *_"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."_* *_LET'S TALK ⏩_* When you were born again, you were born into a life of absolute liberty in Christ. You became free to live, free to serve God, free to reign and free to love. However, as Christians, the Bible admonishes that we use our liberty in Christ rightly. Under the Old Testament, they could read the commandments to know what to do and what not to do, but the new creation man wasn't given any law to obey: *_"knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers"_* ...

_Sunday, September 20th, 2026_ _Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ *LIVE THE WORD TO THE FULLEST* 📖 *_"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples" (John 8:31)._* One of the greatest decisions you could ever make in your life is to live the Word of God to the fullest possible measure. Decide you're going to live and enjoy the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as fully as a man can. When you make this a conscious choice and commitment, it'll drive you to study the Scriptures because to live the Word, you must know the Word. No one can walk effectively in the truths that they don't know. The extent to which you know the Word determines the extent to which you can manifest the life of Christ. Therefore, He says in Colossians 3:16, *_"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom...."_* God's desire is that the Word so dominates your spirit that it becomes your in...
