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: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

A Partaker Of Other People's Sins? - Pastor E.A Adeboye

By
Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...
