Call To Minister Life And Grace - Pastor Chris Oyakilome

By


Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional {29th June, 2016}

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers

-Ephesians 4:29

As Christians, we have the spirit of Christ. We're the light of the world. we're to live, love,talk and conduct all our affairs in life like Him. Your words should minister grace to the hearers always
Some people, aren't conscious of this reality. They are controlled by their senses: they do the things they want to do and say what they want to say according to their are feelings. Such people pride themselves in having terrible, abusive, and insulting words. When they're angry,they don't hesitate to speak words that could make the hearers lose sleep.
They're  proud of what they should be ashamed of. The Bible says of them, "their God is their appetite ."

If  they knew the dire consequences of their actions. Philippians 3:18-19 says "For many walk, of whom i have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, whose mind earthly things."

Never be happy that you made someone else sad. Don't be like the man who was happy to talk the usher down just because the usher asked him to sit somewhere in church.That's inconsistent with your nature of "love. The Bible does not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth" {1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV}. We're ministers of the Gospel, called to minister life and grace. Be like Jesus of whom the the Bible says, "And the common people heard him gladly..." {Mark 12:37}. When people hear from us, they should be glad, because we minister gracious words to them; word of life. Glory to God!

           | Prayer
Dear father, I thank you for word that fills my heart with good, excellent, edifying, and uplifting thoughts. I consistently bless and inspire those you've placed in my path, encouraging them in the lord, because my heart is replete with treasures from your Word, in Jesus' Name Amen.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
