Pastor Chris: Prosperity By The Word by Joagbaje(m): 6:50am On Nov 15, 2010
Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper


The life God has given us in Christ is that of great glory and prosperity. You’re ordained to prosper, not just financially or in certain aspects of your life, but all-round – in everything and in every way. This ought to be your experience of life. Our opening verse gives us the key to this all-round prosperity, where everything you do and everything that has to do with you prospers! It’s by delighting yourself in the law of the Lord – His Word – and meditating on it day and night!

How prosperous do you want to be? How glorious do you want your life to be? If you’d delight yourself in the Lord, and meditate on His words regularly or frequently, you’ll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. You’ll bring forth fruit in due season; your leaves will not wither, and whatsoever you do shall prosper.

Isaiah 58:14
“Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”


How do you delight yourself in the Lord? It’s by giving yourself to His Word; doing His Word; meditating on it day and night, and living it! Desiring God’s Word and cherishing it more than your necessary food (Job 23:12)! When you do these, everything you do will prosper and turn out right. Whatever you get involved in will work. That’s my life! Everything I do prospers. That’s because I’ve made the Word my delight and my meditation.

Your life is ordained by God to go from one level of glory to another. He created you for success, excellence, dignity, honour and beauty. This ought to reflect in every aspect of your life: in your job, health, family, relationships, business, ministry, etc. – you’re to prosper exceedingly! Remember, prosperity, success, divine health, the good life are all your birthright in Christ Jesus. Our study today is to help you realize this and know some of the things you’re to do to experience the prosperity of God and the manifold blessings of the Spirit in your life.

Oh not again!
Posperity can only come with hard working and sheer luck. I hate those that wont preach salvation and good moral and will result to aggressive marketing in the name of the lord.

When are you going to stop ridicling your oga on this forum? Don't you think the poor charlatan has been exposed and humilated enough on this forum, for you to be posting his twisted and shallow teachings that would soon be torn apart by better learned christians on this forum.
Re: Pastor Chris: Prosperity By The Word by nuclearboy(m): 7:45am On Nov 15, 2010
@Kunleoshob:

Give and it shall be given unto you, full measure, shaken together and running over.

His Oga has stolen Multi-millions. He MUST be insulted, reviled, despised and disgraced to that same tune of Multi-millions. thats why Jo is doing it. He is bringing chris to Judgment.

@Jo:

So now you return to the words of King David and Isaiah, people whom you said are learning from you and you are teaching from them. Does that alone not show you have problems with consistency? If you are consistent, only the words of Paul (not even Jesus) are Scriptural.

BTW, prosperity is not only Naira or success or beauty etc. Mother Theresa prospered even though she was not pentecostal. Divine health is not prosperity except if you wish to say the Apostle Paul did not prosper since he had an affliction in the flesh.

You and your chris ought go back to sunday school and start over. Life is not about Naira.

Kunleoshob , pastor chris is not a charlatan . He is  a minister of God. I don't know why you will call a man of God charlatan . The fact that certain individuals made themselves enemy of a man of God doesn't change anything. Any great man will always have critic. Satan will stir up fabrications and  false accusations etc. But all their accusation don't have facts. Just as the devil stirred people against Jesus.

 John 7:12
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 

Critics don't really count.  Whatever rubbish they write, anyone that sees it will only say, " that's an enemy of pastor chris"  that's all.

Re: Pastor Chris: Prosperity By The Word by Enigma(m): 8:57am On Nov 15, 2010
Joagbaje really ought to be ashamed of his strategy of trying to spread the writings of a spiritual vagabond -- as he himself described it. In fact, if he was sufficiently enlightened biblically he would simply be ashamed of the writings of the spiritual vagabond (Chris Oyakhilome) altogether.

Look at today's 'word' for example which reveals either ignorance of the scriptures or trickery/chicanery by the writer. Anyone who understands the gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the apostles would easily recognise the opening post as baloney aka tosh aka nonsense. The thing does not even work for members of the charlatan's congregation which is why there are many examples of them going to steal other people's money and properties.

Re: Pastor Chris: Prosperity By The Word by newmi(m): 2:52am On Nov 16, 2010
@ KunleShob
Where in the scriptures did God say that a man will prosper by share hardwork and luck. Yes hardwork is good but not in the sense you are looking at it, hardwork in scripture in the light of deligence, the bible says in the book of proverbs ", seeth thou a man that is deligent in his ways he shall stand amongst kings and not mean men, "
and for your information, for the christian there's nothing like luck its either the presence of God is with you or not. When the presence of God is with you favours follow you otherwise miss-furtune and shame follows you.
After all success is not a destiantion where someone arrive at rather its an occasion where opportunity meets with propare preparations so a future you are not preparing for now no matter how hard you work you'll not realize it, even if the opportunity comes because you were not prepare, it would slip off why? Because you don't deserve it.

What is wrong in ascribing success and properity to the word of God? ehnnn perpetual critics or haven't you read
Joshua 1:8
"This of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.



Well perhaps you didn't see this ", FOR THEN THOU SHALL MAKE THOU WAY PROSPEROUS, " FOR HOW? BY GIVING ATTENTION TO THE DICTATES OF THE WORD OF GOD, YAH HEARD!!! lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

Can't you see, l mean with all your socalled experience, understanding the writings on the wall has become an illusive luxuary that you just seem not to be predisposed to afford. For all these years people like you and many of your kind have been successfully (l must not fail to comment) failing to talk this man and the vision that God has givien him. Don't you learn? For God sake with all the bible you claim to know perhaps you have not come across this advice and wise councel by one of Israels most respected scribes and religious leaders during the days of the apostle as a response to a case study with little or no difference to what is presently obtainable today.

Acts 5:34-39
"Then stood there up one in the council, a pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in repulation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forht a little space;
And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and dew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
AND NOW I SAY UNTO YOU, REFRAIN FROM THESE MEN, AND LET THEM ALONE: FOR IF THIS COUNSEL OR THIS WORK BE OF MEN, IT WILL COME TO NOUGHT:
BUT F IT BE OF GOD, YE CANNOT OVERTHROW IT, LEST HAPLY YE BE FOUND EVEN TO FIGHT AGAIST GOD."

All the scripture you and your group of critics know is only for the benefit of aguing and aguing can't you do something different with wat you know at least make yourself useful. YOU CAN'T STOP THAT MAN, AND I HAVE DONE MY STUDIES AND I HAVE PROOFS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND AND COMPREHEND WHY YOU CAN'T STOP HIM. YAH HEARD BE WIS!!!!!
Re: Pastor Chris: Prosperity By The Word by newmi(m): 3:35am On Nov 16, 2010
@Enigma
Some people just feel that they can simply just open their mouth and talk about any man of God they so which to talk about, well wake up!!! times have changed and if you understand scripture as much as you claim to then it is expected that you recognize that you apply caution when issues of God's servants or the church of Christ are brought up otherwise we might as well start questoning your depth of bible knowledge, who knows you must have staudied it for simple reason to succeed in the business of fault findings, I WISH YOU THE BEST, BUT BE REMINDED THAT THE WORD OF GOD DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. YAH HEARD!!!!

@newmi
why people study the Bible is to have the knowledge of the word of God, to apply it in everthing they do and even to defend and counter any opposing word coming from pastors, rev fathers even angels. When people debug chris' teachings using the scriptures, i do not expect u to start pointing fingers rather develop a neutral mind and go through those teachings, compare them with what the Bible (not Rhapsody of Reality) actually teaches and come up with better defence.

Thanks for your comments sure constructive criticism is logical but some people from experience and deligent observation have consistently demonstrated their unconstructiveness in presenting their criticism why? because they've choosen not to see anything good about this man and you begin to wonder why the intense hate and antigonism.

As much as l know the scripture cos l have spent my whole life studying the Bible and learning to live it everyday so l know when something is in error and when it is align with bible truths. Wait a minute, this Rhasody of Reality what is the discredence the question is most of the those who have choosen to at any cost to always see nothing good about this great piece of write up. Nobody said that this book is replacing the place of the bible no and Pst. Chris himself has never said or insinuated that either directly or indirectly.

For instance
Love Without Limits
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:17-19).

Here, the Apostle Paul, through the Spirit lets us know how important it is for us to comprehend the immensity of God’s love; His boundless love, which can only be grasped by revelation. Thus, he prayed that by the help of God’s Spirit, God’s people would comprehend the limitless dimensions of the Father’s love: its length, and depth, and height.

Paul wasn’t just referring to having a mental knowledge or understanding of God’s love when he used the word “comprehend” in the scripture above. Rather he used the Greek word “katalambano” which means to understand something and make it yours; to make it your present reality! Scientific knowledge of human mental activity can’t grasp the love of Christ. That’s why the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul, prays that you’ll be able to comprehend the boundless, immeasurable and unconditional love the Father has towards you. It’s love without limits.

God loves you! As simple as this truth may sound, if you dare believe it, and let it sink deep into your consciousness, it will change your life forever and give you a new confidence. God’s love is the greatest power in the universe. No wonder the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul prayed “…that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:17-19).

Get secured in the Father’s love; take advantage of the fact that He loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3). He loves you as though you were the only one on earth! Thus every morning when you wake up, say, “Thank you Lord, for loving me so much, without limits!”

Prayer
Christ dwells in my heart by faith; and I, being rooted and grounded in love, comprehend with all saints the boundless love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that I may be filled with all the fullness of God! Amen.

Further Study
Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are savedwink

1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Daily Scripture Reading

Reading plan Jeremiah 36-37

2 Year Bible 1 John 3:13-24
Reading Plan Daniel 1-2

Rhapsody of Realities Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
(An extract from the Nov 16)

Now CRITICS what could possibly be wrong with this write up thus qualifying it to be the wrongly represented aas a book of error.

And l can't see any aspect encouraging the use of the Rhapsody of Reality in place of studying the bible rather is makes futher efforts to encourage people to culture their minds in the discipline of systematically studying their bible, with a 1 year and 2 years bible reading plan. TELL WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THIS ARTICLE EXCEPT THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVE SIMPLY CHOOSEN TO BE UNREALITICALLY CRITICAL ABOUT NOTHING.


I THROW THIS AS A CHALLENGE TO ANYBODY INCLUDING YOU, WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY DICTECTED ANY INCONSISTENCY(IES) WITH THIS ARTICLE ORELSE LETS STOP CRITISIZING WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

NOW DON'T FORGET THIS SCRIPTURE
Acts 5:34-39
"Then stood there up one in the council, a pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in repulation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forht a little space;
And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and dew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
AND NOW I SAY UNTO YOU, REFRAIN FROM THESE MEN, AND LET THEM ALONE: FOR IF THIS COUNSEL OR THIS WORK BE OF MEN, IT WILL COME TO NOUGHT:
BUT F IT BE OF GOD, YE CANNOT OVERTHROW IT, LEST HAPLY YE BE FOUND EVEN TO FIGHT AGAIST GOD."


Don't run something down simply because you hate it rather let it be because it lacks credence.

i have never condemned Rhapsody of Reality, what i am saying is that for someone to know the genuineness or otherwise of what he is taught, he needs to think outside what is being taught and seek answers from (in this case, the Bible) natural course.

Mabell and newmi are like the Dumbledee and Dumbledum of Alice in Wonderland, roundish impish twins ambling around chewing their fingernails like street urchins. They ONLY ever show up to defend against CE and their GO Chris. They do this so that Joagbaje will never need to get his hands dirty with other posters. Mabell and newmi have no other life/purpose on Nairaland than to act as this backup as described whenever something about their GO comes up.

Wait I have seen this somewhere, the point man gets the underlings to do his dirty stuff so he can keep looking composed. Oh, of course: THE Sopranos! cool cheesy grin
