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.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. CHALLENGES ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD FRIDAY, MAY 6TH 2016.

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children...No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:7-11 NIV). The Bible says, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..." (2 Chronicles 16:9). That means He's watching and looking for opportunities to manifest His glory on your behalf. He never leaves you alone. He never lets you down. He's moved with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). He knows when you go through pain, and seeks to get you out of every predicament. Every human need is God's opportunity to bless. He wants to meet every human need. Actually, He's already done that in Christ Jesus, but some are yet to fully understand and accept what He's done. When you have a problem, when you...
