Rhapsody Of Realities 12 December 2025 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Compelled By His Love To Be A Witness

TOPIC: Compelled By His Love To Be A Witness (Rhapsody of Realities 12 December 2025)

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died (2 Corinthians 5:14 NIV).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

The ensuing 15th verse of 2 Corinthians 5 is equally very inspiring. It says, “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” This is about living a purposeful life, compelled by Christ’s love and invested in soul-winning.

When the love of Christ takes hold of your heart, it fuels your passion and dismantles fear. It motivates you to preach the Gospel. Remember what the Scripture says: Jesus died for all; that means every person you meet is as valuable to God as Jesus is. This is the conviction of
an effective witness for Christ.

The Bible says, “… it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things” (Luke 24:46-48). How then could you be quiet? In your sphere of contact, be it a hospital, prison, school, village, wherever; preach the Gospel.

The glorious Gospel of the blessed Lord has been committed to your trust (1 Timothy 1:11). This Gospel is real and true; it’s the power of God unto salvation to those who believe. Be compelled by His love to preach it. When you’re motivated by His love, excuses dissolve. You won’t need to be pushed; you’ll be propelled. Let that love compel you today to speak to someone, pray for someone, and lead someone into the Kingdom.

CONFESSION

I’m compelled by the love of Christ, and I see people through His eyes and reach out with His compassion; I’m bold, loving, and an effective soul winner. I’m sensitive to the leading of the Spirit to minister the Gospel to the weary and bring healing and health to the sick because I’m marvellously helped of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (KJV); 14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

John 3:16 (KJV); For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 John 4:10-11 (KJV); Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
