HAPPY NEW YEAR! READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. BE INSPIRING! SUNDAY JANUARY,3,2016.

Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults...Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier (Luke 6:37 MSG).
God expects you to value others the same way He values you. When people come around you, they shouldn’t feel uneasy, dejected, imperfect, timid, insecure, afraid, or doubtful of themselves. Rather, they should be confident, inspired, courageous, strong, vibrant, and enthusiastic to face life and win. Don’t make people feel intimidated, worthless or hopeless.
Consider the Lord in Genesis chapter eighteen: He appeared in the form of a man, and told Abraham who, at the time, was almost one hundred years old, that he was going to have a son through his wife Sarah. Sarah, who heard what the Lord said, laughed within herself, saying, “After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” (Genesis 18:12).
Responding to Sarah’s unbelief, God asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh?” (Genesis 18:13). The Bible says, “Then Sarah denied, saying, I didn’t laugh; for she was afraid” (Genesis 18:15). God could have reprimanded her thus: “You mean in my presence, you dare tell a lie?” But no, He wasn’t mad at her. Instead, He said to her lovingly, “No; but you did laugh” (Genesis 18:15).
God didn’t make Sarah feel less than she was; He didn’t attack her personality. He was easy on her, because He knew the reason she lied was because she was afraid, and the solution for fear is faith that works by love. Let people be confident around you. Let them be free to be themselves around you. Let them be free to express themselves; they shouldn’t be afraid to “fail” or make a mistake around you.
Every human person is bought with, and washed by, the blood of Jesus Christ; we’re sanctified by God, and are therefore valuable to Him. When you see, relate with, and talk to people with this understanding, they’ll be confident in themselves and know that’s how God sees them too. Thus, instead of running away from God when they do something wrong, they’ll run to Him.
PRAYER:
Merciful Father, I thank you for loving and accepting me, and teaching me to shower others with the same kindness, and cover them always with your love. I’m confident in your love always, and sufficient in your sufficiency, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I LAY UP GOLD AS DUST! - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

Somebody said, "There’s financial harmattan. Everywhere is just dry". Not me! Dry? Never! Not in my DNA. I am always in surplus! But when do you have the most dust? In time of dryness! Wipe the dust today, come back tomorrow, the dust is back, all over the place. The scripture is saying "In time of dryness, I lay up gold as dust (Job 22:24). Too much money! When their bank accounts are frowning, my own bank accounts are laughing, shouting for joy. Gloryyyyy!!! Remember, everything in life including your bank accounts have intelligence. Let my bank accounts shout for joy, and be glad! Because my bank accounts are favoring God's righteous cause, yea, let my finances say continually , Let the Lord be magnified.... (Psalm 35:27)! Hallelujah!!! Glory to God! It’s time to start laying up gold as dust and it’s time to start funding the Gospel big time. My name is on every naira, every rand, every dollar, every cedis, every euro, and every pound, Just look at them ...

YOU’RE THE BLESSED OF THE LORD – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Notice the construction above; the Apostle Paul wasn’t praying or making entreaties or begging God for spiritual blessings, no! It’s an energetic outburst of luxuriant, profuse, and exuberant worship. He glorifies the Lord who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms. He had the mentality that he was already blessed with all spiritual blessings that exist, and became poetic in praise. This should be your testimony! Be full of praise to God because there’s nothing you don’t have, and there’s nothing you can’t do! You’ve been endowed spiritually with all things, and for all things. Why did Paul use the phrase “spiritual blessings?” It’s because if you have the spiritual blessings, then you have all earthly blessings, because the spiritual gives birth to the physical. The lesser is included in the greater. Thi...
