Your Power of Consensus: This is learning to convince others to think like you. The tyranny of many governments and monarchs were brought down by the Power of Consensus because Human will is irresistible. There are three most powerful forces in the world and they are Fire, Flood and Mob; Mob, being a resultant effect of the power of the Human will. The human will is so powerful. A perfect example of this is seen in the story of the building of the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1 – 8). In Genesis 11: 5 -6, God came down to see what the people were building and he said Behold, the people is one, and they all have one language; and this they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do.

The Energy Of Competition: This gives you the impetus to go on – the fire of competition. Train yourself to love competition because it produces energy. Enjoy competition and be excited about it. There is nothing you cannot do if you train yourself at it. Make friends with those you can learn from. Never be comfortable with average, but be on top always.

The Power of Corporate Wealth: Taxation is a form of corporate wealth that helps you become participators in what’s going on around you. Through corporate wealth, the Government can and should do more for its people. Partnership is another form of corporate wealth which helps you impact your world. Poor people can’t set up a government, they won’t succeed (Proverbs 10:15). Poverty is a curse; it takes the rich to help the poor (Ecclesiastes 7:12a). Think global, the World is yours.

Power:

• Knowledge (Ecclesiastes 7:12b): Knowledge is important because it gives you power. Know little about everything, be versatile, read, have knowledge. Be studious; seek more knowledge about your field or area of profession. Refuse to be ignorant, be a man or woman of Knowledge (Proverbs 10:14). Have information power because knowledge is power.
• Be filled with the Power of God (Ephesians 5:18 – 20): It is important that you are filled with the power of God. It is a necessity for your journey in life. Being filled with the power of God gives you the ability to effect a change in whatever situation you might face. You activate this power in you by speaking in other tongues (Jude 20). When you speak in tongues, you charge yourself up and stir up the power of God in you.

These are four of the Seven Principles of Success that Pastor shared with us during the youth conference. This is the Year of The Greater Light and it is important you follow these principles whole heartedly as they are instructions for your life. In doing this, you will maximize our potentials by exercising our God given abilities to impact our world. Remember, success is the ability to influence your world and make someone aspire to your aspirations.

You can change your relationships for the better if you apply the love principle. It worked for God, it will work for you. Whether it’s your aggressive in-law, your uncooperative brother or sister, love will make you hear their voice differently; it will make you view their actions and motives differently. Take control of the relationship with patience, and see their helpless souls with a new passion. Your strength comes out as you remain unmoved by their words, because they cannot hurt you. You’re untouched by their actions, because they have no effect on you. God stands strong on behalf of His children.

You can have a good relationship with people. There are a number of guidelines people can give you for developing good relationships such as remembering names, keeping a kind smile, giving honest compliments, being prepared to listen to people, and never arguing but supporting their views. These tips are good, but they have their limitations. The Bible says, “There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the almighty giveth them understanding“ (Job 32:8).

Wisdom is the principal thing. The man with an excellent spirit will do everything in line with the nature of God, not to impress, but because it’s his nature to do right. He is the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). Quite a number of people have great problems in communicating. Maybe in spite of tips and guidelines taught on communication you still experience difficulty in effectively communicating with your listeners. To communicate effectively, your words must come from your inner most being; for out of your inward part shall flow rivers of living waters Then your words will not be selfish but kind, not self-centred but considerate. Your smile will be encouraging; filled with life. That is the actual purpose of communication.

Another translation for Communication is ’Koinonia’, meaning ‘Fellowship’. “But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”(Hebrews 13:16) In other words, God is pleased with the fellowship or communication of believers. Our communication brings edification to the hearer. The real life will communicate to your heart. A man with a recreated spirit talks from the innermost part of his being. His words create   impact, portray the virtues of God’s Spirit and bring edification to his listeners. God honours his words.

If therefore, the secret of a successful relationship borders around effective communication, it means that you are designed to prosper in this area because the words that now come out of your mouth are spirit and life. They are not mere words, but active, operative, energizing and effective, full of power to win and for results. You will touch your hearers. They will desire your words like the people that followed our Lord Jesus just to hear Him speak. No man ever spoke like Him, the people stayed with Him for three days without food, just to hear him speak. How wonderful!

Rev Chris Oyakhilome is one man who has seized the moment. His ministerial career trajectory is a study in undeniable success story. At every stage of his long and eventful ministry path, he has faced demons and human adversaries that would dare be his albatross with extraordinary boldness and came out the victor.

Pastor Chris is not one to sit and wait for politicians, business leaders, speculators or academicians to deliver to society their kind of future – a failed theory that has produced a failed generation.

This Man with the propensity to change lives is determined not to be a passive wayfarer in the events leading up to the future of the younger generation; he has chosen to be an active participator.

There is no denying the fact that this man of God is success personified And like every true success ,he is determined to to reproduce himself in others, as he stirs the youth across the world to aspire to his inspirations.

Thus the National Youth Conferences with Pastor Chris was born. Today however, after four editions of the conference, the focus has shifted to a global vision.

This past Friday, over twenty five thousand young people travelling from Europe, Asia, America and several nations in Africa converged in Lagos, Nigeria, for the delegates’ edition of the 1st International Youth Conference. The delegates’ session is expected to serve as a prelude to the main conference expected later and billed to have several thousands of youths around the world in attendance.

Speaking at the opening session meant to welcome the delegates, Pastor Chris charged the youth to position themselves to seize the moment. ‘Success is at different levels”, he told his audience, effectively saying to them, “hey, you don’t have to wait till you’re sixty or ninety to know if you are a success; be a success at whatever level of life you’re in right now”! With one phrase success is redefined.

While the wisdom of the age laments the pervasive world-wide atmosphere of gloom, Pastor Chris admonished his audience, “Do not let the darkness in the world drown your light!” Words crafted for kings; words that position one to confront the future with a bold face.

Little wonder, the youthful congregation could not keep their seats as the seconds ticked by! The words they heard this Friday night ignited in their spirits an unmitigated thirst for excellence and success. Pastor Chris mounted the dais at 21:00 hrs and stepped off at 21:30 GMT. Within this short interval, age-long beliefs were dispelled, myths busted, a new mindset engineered. A brighter generation beckons.

Hello Beloved Friends,

The Rhapsody of Realities Friendship Network has been upgraded with a new look. Kindly leave your comments and feedback to let us know what you think of the new design, as we work hard to make this place better for you

In today’s world, people would judge the quality of a product and use it on the strength of its brand name. Our God has His own “brand name” as it were. It’s the Name of Jesus! The Name of Jesus has been given to us (Acts 4:12). Therefore, learning to live in and function by the power of that Name is what guarantees the upward and forward life. In Philippians 2:10, we’re assured of the efficacy of the power in the Name of Jesus: “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

To function effectively in “The Year of the Greater Light” here are more things you must do. Remember, instructions are for your life. This is God’s Word to you –

1. Give Yourself to the Ministry of the Word (1 Peter 2:2): Spiritual growth comes by the Word. The Word of God is food for our Spirit therefore in this year we must give serious consideration to the Word of God (Joshua 1:8). In this Year of the Greater Light, the Word of God is the only thing that can change your state in life. The word of God has transforming power (2 Corinthians 3:18). When you spend time studying, listening and meditating on the Word of God over a period of time, your attitude, mindset, and belief systems will change. You’ll suddenly realize that you are different and you have become a better person. As you give yourself to the Word in 2010, it will grow and prevail in every area of your life producing in you what it talks about (Acts 19:20). The Word of God is the life in you, the very essence of your existence. (Proverbs 4:20 – 22). Know your prayer and meditation time in 2010. Make your meditation time purposeful and consistent.

2. Pray In Tongues Consistently (1 Corinthians 14:4): One of the signs that follow the new creation is speaking in other tongues. You can build up and improve every area of your life by speaking in tongues. When you pray in other tongues, your spirit is alert and fine-tuned to the things of the Spirit. Praying in tongues exposes your spirit to the mature things of the spirit and causes you to put away childish things. This means that for you to experience serious spiritual growth, you must speak in tongues consistently. The Bible says that when you pray in other tongues, you are building yourself like an edifice “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” (Jude 1:20). Praying in tongues helps your spirit to be sensitive to the realities of the kingdom. Praying in other tongues also conditions your spirit to receive from God. It is therefore important that we pray in other tongues in the year 2010 like never before (Ephesians 6:18). Speaking in tongues was one of the secrets to apostle Paul’s success, that’s why he declared to the whole church, “I thank my God I speak in tongues more than ye all” Speaking in tongues is not optional for the child of God for your success this year is dependent on your walk with the Spirit.

3. Get Involved In The House of God (Ephesians 4:11 – 16): Get involved in the house of God, it helps you express the gifts of God inside you. It helps you to find your place and standout as a blessing to the Church and your world at large (John 5:33 – 35). You can be involved in the activity groups in the church. Always volunteer to help in the house of God.

In the midst of the harsh economic meltdown that has defied solutions, demystified financial eggheads and made economic pundits look ordinary; the renowned televangelist, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has declared 2010 the year of the greater light.

Pastor Chris spoke at the traditional 31st Night service inside the 30 thousand capacity LoveWorld Convocation arena before a vociferous crowd of devotees and visitors who thronged the auditorium to hear this man whose words and prophesies have become the answer to life’s questions.

As early as 4pm local time, the LoveWorld convocation arena was seething with an expectant crowd, outside the gate; security was tight but well organized.

At 11.04, the man sent from God, walked into the auditorium and the crowd let off in rapturous jubilation. Pastor Chris had set the tone for the night earlier when he posited that the coming year would be a great one “This is a great year coming” he said.

He took his opening scripture from Genesis Chapter 1:16 … “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night…” Pastor Chris was in his element, throwing uncommon illumination on scripture after scripture, Pastor Chris explained that the greater light is in Zion and that light is the Lords presence.

The teaching Priest of our time, declared that in 2010, no contrary circumstance will stand because the greater light will eliminate every disease for “they that dwell in Zion shall not say I am sick”

After the message the auditorium became charged, while some blasted away in tongues others simply sat still to take in the full unction of the message for the now. Popular Gospel minister EBEN put it succinctly “ Greater Light; all I see is increase, with greater light there is a better way to do what you do…if you have never moved forward before there is a place called forward, if you are doing well, there is a place called forward, this year is going to be awesome”

And Deaconess Eleanor Adaralegbe posits “it’s a time of dominion, we will take charge, we will see with greater light. The message has come at the time that we need it, the world is waiting and the message that we have received is the message for the now. The glory that will shine through us this year will be awesome, the steps that we will take will be supernatural not natural”

And the morning of the 1st of January 2010 was the first day of the year of greater light as we wait with birthed breath to receive the stupendous testimonies and victories that 2010 delivered at 12.55pm December 31st, 2009.
