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.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

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...

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 ...
