╔════════════════╗   *RHAPSODY OF REALITIES*     *FOR EARLY READERS* ╚════════════════╝ *👤PASTOR CHRIS* 2nd October  *SPEAK GOD'S WORD* So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it *(Isaiah 55:11)* One day, Jesus spoke to a storm and said, *"...Peace, be still..."* (Mark 4:39). That shows how powerful His words are. The good news is that when you were born again, you were born through God's Word (1 Peter 1:23). Jesus also said that if His Word remains in you, *"...you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you"* (John 15:7). That means when you speak God's Word, it carries His power. You can make great things happen by speaking God's Word. So, when you face challenges, don't stay quiet. Speak His Word with faith, and you'll experience peace, victory, and joy in your life. *📖SCRIPTURE REA...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Friday, October 2nd 2026_ *NOT "SICKABLE"* _(Walk In Divine Health)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *3 John 1:2* _"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."_ *LET'S TALK* God's greatest wish is for you to prosper and live in health. Now, notice in the scripture above, that God didn't say, *"Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be healed...."* Rather, He said, *"...that you may prosper and be in health."* He's talking about you living in divine health, not just getting healed. Healing is good; it's children's bread, but walking in divine health is even better. When you're living in divine health, you don't need healing because you don't get sick. To some, this sounds impossible because they think everyone gets sick eventually. But that's not how life in Christ works. His death, burial, and resurrection made i...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Friday, October 2nd 2026_  *HE BROUGHT US UNTO HIMSELF* _Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagle's wings, and brought you unto myself_ *(Exodus 19:4)* When God delivered the children of Israel from Egypt, His purpose was greater than rescuing them from oppression. Deliverance was only the beginning. His ultimate desire was revealed in His words as read in our opening scripture: He bore them on eagle's wings, and brought them unto Himself. He didn't merely bring them out of Egypt. This reveals the heart of God. His goal has always been fellowship, relationship with man. He wanted a people who would belong to Him, walk with Him and live in the consciousness of His love and purpose. That's why He went on to say in the ensuing verses: *"...then ye shall be a peculiar by treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy ...

❓️Question: > “Pastor, I am always confused when my friend and some other people say we have female pastors in our church, when the Bible says in 1 Corinthians that women should not speak in the house of God. What do you think?” 🟥 Answer: 🔴 Oh, dear Lord! You know there are people who are always going to ask questions. They are always trying to ask questions, not because they want to know, but because they want to criticize. They come with a kind of question, but when you give them the answer, they don't want to listen. Get the Scriptures. The Scriptures will help you. 🔴 In 1 Corinthians 14:32, the Bible says,  > “And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.”  Then he says in verse 33,  > “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”  Then, in verse 34, he says,  > “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded ...

Even if someone is unkind to you, don’t stop doing good. God is pleased when you keep choosing what is right. Jesus told a parable about *“the Good Samaritan”* (Luke 10:30–37). A man was hurt and left on the road. Some people saw him but walked away. But the Samaritan stopped, cared for him, and made sure he was safe. You can do the same. Be kind, share, and help others every day. Keep doing good—God sees it, and your reward will come. *📖SCRIPTURE READING* *Hebrews 13:16* But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. *LET'S PRAY* Dear loving Father, thank you for blessing me and making me a blessin...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome_ _Thursday, October 1st 2026_ *“LAUGHING SESSIONS”* _(Laugh Your Way To Victory)_ *TO THE BIBLE:* *Psalm 2:4*  _“He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.”_ *LET’S TALK* Psychologists have identified a common trait in people who thrive despite difficult circumstances. It’s called *“cognitive reframing”*—the ability to find humour or perspective in hard situations. They aren’t pretending problems don’t exist; they’ve simply learnt that how you interpret an event shapes how that event affects you. The Bible reveals an even more powerful truth: when you see your circumstances through the eyes of God’s Word, you can respond with joy instead of fear. That’s why Proverbs 17:22 declares that *“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”* Why wouldn’t you laugh when you know that you’re more than a conqueror? Why shouldn’t you laugh when you know that all things work together for your...

_Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Thursday, October 1st 2026_  *YOU’VE OBTAINED MERCY* _Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need_ *(Hebrews 4:16)* In Christianity, we don’t try to persuade God to be merciful toward us. We don’t cry out for mercy, hoping He'll hear and respond. In Christ Jesus, we’ve already obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:10 makes it clear: *“Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”*  Notice the language; it doesn't say you're seeking mercy or waiting for mercy but that you’ve obtained it. Before you ever knew enough to ask for it, God lavished His mercy upon you through Jesus Christ. This understanding should change the way you relate with God. You’re different from those of the Old Testament.  Blind Bartimaeus cried out, *“…Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me”* (Mark 10:47...

═══════════════╗   RHAPSODY OF REALITIES    FOR EARLY READERS ╚════════════════╝ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME WEDNESDAY , 29TH SEPTEMBER 2026 Refuse To Compromise    📖Hebrews 10:39 CEV    We are not like those people who turn back and get destroyed. We will keep on having faith To compromise means to settle for something or to do something you didn’t plan to do. The Bible says that in the last days, some people will choose to do wrong and ignore God’s Word because others are doing it (2 Timothy   3:1–5). That’s why it’s important for you to always stand for what is right.   Sometimes, others may try to make you follow the crowd or do something you know isn’t good. As God’s child, always stand for what is right. Choose to do His Word, and do what pleases Him.   A good example is Daniel in the Bible. Even when others around him did wrong, he chose to obey God and did not compromise (Daniel 1:8). Like, Daniel, always stan...

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Wednesday , September 30th 2026 ONLY BELIEVE  (Cast Yourself On His Word) 📖TO THE BIBLE - Matthew 9:28  “And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord.’“   LET’S TALK➡️  A man came to Jesus one day to ask the Master to heal his demon-possessed son. The man said to Jesus, “If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us” (Mark 9:22b). The Master replied, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23). Finally, the man blurted out, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24)! He was trying to put the responsibility for his believing on Jesus, which shouldn’t be. The Lord, nonetheless, compassionately healed the boy.   Many people are like that man today. They think that if they’re unbelieving, it’s up to God to help them believe, but it’s not so. The Bible says, “…with t...

   *📜JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH* *Wednesday, September 30th* *Pastor Chris* _*📖Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).*_ One of the great blessings of the New Testament is our justification by faith. Under the Old Testament, they sought justification through the Law, but they didn’t get it. The Law could reveal sin, but it couldn’t justify man. But in the New Testament, we have been justified by the faith of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be justified? It means acquittal, to be declared not guilty. In Christ Jesus, God declares you not guilty. You might ask, “But what happened to the offences or the sins I committed?” The answer is in the Scriptures. Romans 4:24-25 says the Lord Jesus was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. He who knew no sin was made sin for us: _*“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of Go...

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 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.

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...
