READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. LIVE FOR HIS GLORY - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH 2016.
And that he died for all,
that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him
which died for them, and rose again (2 Corinthians 5:15).
If you truly believe that
Jesus died to save you, then you must continually live for His glory and lead
others to salvation. We’re in the last days, and the time is short. There’s no
room for complacency; you must become vocal with the Gospel now more than ever.
Yes, there may be peculiar times, occasions, and places where we might need to
be tactful in our preaching of the Gospel; nonetheless, we should never lose
our confidence in Christ and the boldness to publicly proclaim His Lordship.
We’re His co-labourers and
partners, working together with Him to reach the lost and bring salvation in
Christ to every man. This is our primary responsibility as Christians. The
Apostles lived for this cause. Many have suffered severe persecutions and even
lost their lives for preaching the Gospel. It isn't, and shouldn’t, be
different in our day. Stick your neck out for the Gospel. Don’t be afraid or
intimidated to stand up and speak up for what you believe.
In your workplace, school,
business environment, estate, neighbourhood, be known as an ambassador of
Christ; a burning and a shining light. Even when you’re reviled or disdained
for preaching the Gospel, keep at it, because your adversaries don’t count;
they’re not a factor. Nothing, and no one, can hurt or harm you, because Christ
is your life; He’s your defence. He sent you, and will therefore see to it that
you triumph gloriously always—over and above every adversity.
Devote your life to
reaching others with the Gospel. Keep influencing and impacting your world
positively through the power of God that works in you. Keep beautifying the
lives of those around you with the Word and power of the Holy Spirit. That’s
how to live for the Lord and have His glory revealed in and through you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you
for giving me the opportunity and ability to influence those in my world with
the Gospel. Everything I am and everything I have is for the expansion of your
Kingdom. I thank you for your blessings and extraordinary provisions in my
life, and for the strength, boldness and courage you’ve granted me to proclaim
the Gospel with power, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always,
[even] unto the end of the world. Amen. ||
|| Acts 18:9-11 Then spake
the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, be not afraid, but speak, and hold
not thy peace: 10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt
thee: for I have much people in this city. 11 And he continued [there] a year
and six months, teaching the word of God among them. ||
|| 2 Timothy 4:5 But watch
thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full
proof of thy ministry. ||
