Rhapsody of Realities October 15th 2025, FOCUS ON YOUR DIVINE PURPOSE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:23–24).

A lot of people allow themselves to be distracted. They get caught up in the busyness of life, petty worries, and worldly pursuits. Before they realize it, they’ve veered off course from God’s divine purpose. Distractions can cause you to lose sight of what truly matters. They pull you away from your God-given assignment. So, stay alert and refuse to be distracted.

God has planned a specific work for you to do. There’s a divine assignment with your name on it. If you neglect it, you will have to give account to Him. So stay focused on your purpose. The Lord Jesus said, “…My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4).

Are you about the Father’s work? Is it your goal to finish your assignment, to fulfil your ministry in the Gospel? The Apostle Paul had the same mindset as the Lord Jesus; he refused every form of distraction and stayed focused on His assignment. In Philippians 3:13-14, he said, “…this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

In Hebrews 12:1, he gave an important admonition which, apparently, was a hallmark of his own life. He said, “…let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” At the end, he said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). That’s what truly matters.

Be mindful of your divine purpose and responsibilities. Be faithful and diligent in the things God has asked you to do. We have a clear mandate to complete the full preaching of the Gospel to the whole world. You have a role in this. Set your eyes on the goal, run your race with perseverance and finish your course with joy. Praise God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the divine assignment you’ve given me. I refuse to be distracted by people, situations, or circumstances. I focus my heart and energy on fulfilling your purpose for my life. I run my race with determination and finish my course with joy, bringing glory to your Name, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I thank You, precious Father, for loving me, blessing me, and increasing my greatness on every side. You delight in me and take pleasure in my prosperity. I am preferred for promotion, opportunities, favour, and advantage. I have favour with God and with men. I am blessed in my going out and in my coming in. I’m blessed in my body, mind, and spirit, and everything connected to me bears fruit abundantly. The Lord my God orchestrates all things in my favour, causing me to walk continually in super-abundance. He liberally supplies all my needs and multiplies my resources a thousand times and more. The grace for quickness and speed is at work in me. My thoughts, plans, and initiatives are productive and prosperous. My gates are open continually, bringing in the wealth of the nations.

I am loaded with good things, and my life is like a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. I am visible, well-positioned, and the Spirit of God is amplifying my voice around the world. I can never be small because the anointing of God’s Spirit has set me apart for greatness, causing me to spread and make indescribable progress. I am vibrant and full of divine health every day, all year round. My strength is renewed daily like the eagle’s. I dwell in the zone of agelessness, deathlessness, and wantlessness. God’s divine nature has complete dominion over my spirit, soul, and body. I refuse to allow any sickness, lack, or failure to take root in me or affect anything that concerns me.

Every day of my life is full of God’s glory, beauty, excellence, and grace. My life is for the glory of God, and I manifest His goodness, wisdom, and righteousness everywhere I go. Christ is my life—His peace, joy, and glory are expressed through me. I am superior to sickness and death because the divine life of God flows in every fibre of my being. The Lord is my refuge and my fortress. I am shielded and protected from every evil. My prosperity, greatness, and flourishing know no end. I have unlimited access to inexhaustible riches; the law of multiplication is working in me, and nothing diminishes in my hands. I make progress by the Spirit, and my prosperity is from glory to glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
