It looks like those who told us all men are the same lied to us. Not that it adds or subtracts anything but of a truth it should be acknowledged that there is a man in our generation called Pastor Chris Oyakhilome in whom is the Spirit of the Most High God.
Heaven on earth is an abstract concept to many believers including some preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But to some, it is a real life experience lived every day to its fullest and this is where revelation knowledge distinguishes the initiates from the casual or rather head -knowledge believers. Here, Pastor Chris’ aheadship in pushing kingdom agenda to extreme frontiers stands him out from the bunch no matter what anybody may want to say.
Pastor Chris’ uniqueness is in breaking all limitations with the gospel and for the gospel. His creativity and innovative mindset is unparalleled. It just keeps getting bigger and better. He is a man so focused on what God wants him to do.
Whether you believe it or not, all men are not equal. If you see greatness, identify it because the grace you do not celebrate, you cannot replicate.
Just think about it: If the stories of the things that have happened in Christ Embassy were written in God’s Generals, by now people would have been using it to preach everywhere: Yes, there was a man of God called Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, he walked the face of this earth; he prayed and the dead were raised, the sick healed; he was raising people from wheel chairs; in one single 24-hour day he hosted an unprecedented program tagged “ReachOut World Day” where his daily devotional, the Rhapsody of Realities, was distributed everywhere in the world even in the uttermost parts in all the known and certified languages of the world; Taaa! Taaa! Taaaa! That could have been the narrative.
Pastor Chris is more than a man because no man can do the things he had made happen except God be with him.
Awkwardly, and for reasons best known to them, people in our clime only celebrate great men after they have gone. Now the man is alive and living amongst us and people are pretending there’s no big deal in what God is using such a man to do.
Monday, December 2nd, 2024 will remain a memorable date in the annals of world evangelism and spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the uttermost part of the earth. The world witnessed a remarkable and an unprecedented event tagged ReachOut World Day spearheaded by this same Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.
It was a 24-hour period set aside to cover the whole world with the knowledge of the glory of God through the distribution of the Rhapsody of Realities daily devotional in all its formats in all known languages and dialects of the world in an accountable way.
Pastor Chris emphasizing the importance of this global initiative in what sounded more like a mission statement, said, “This special program, ReachOut World Day, will showcase the global impact of our unrestrained and lavish pursuit of souls with God’s Word in Rhapsody of Realities.”
But the Reach Out World Day with Pastor Chris was more than an event; it was a global movement dedicated to spreading God’s love and Word to every corner of the earth. As the Bible says in Habakkuk 2:14, “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” The earth was indeed filled with not only the knowledge of the glory of God but with His manifest power lavishly displayed across the nations of the world.
That a man of God will call for a meeting online and over two billion people will answer and yet everywhere around us is muted as if it’s not a big deal. That a man of God will call for ministers’ conference and over 200 million ministers from all over the world will gather before our very eyes happening in our lifetime and yet everywhere is quite as if it’s one of those things. Haba!
Look at what happened at the recently concluded International Pastors and Partners’ Conference (IPPC), the world’s richest man is the top partner of Rhapsody of Realities and some people still think it’s not a big deal. None of the bloggers saw nor heard anything about it. And the very few that came up with their commentaries only embarked on leftist agenda of demonising Elon Musk painting him in all shades and colours of an atheist and questioning why he should sponsor an agenda of a God he does not believe exists in the first instance.

The question is: if the man (the richest man in the world) could decide to put his money in furtherance of what he does not believe as critics alleged, what does that say about the power of God impelling Pastor Chris and his message?
How do you explain that when God wanted to give him a partner of “This One Book,” the Rhapsody of Realities, He looked at the Forbes List and gave him the number one person there? It’s not just one of those things, it is called Grace. Celebrate it!
Can’t critics see supernatural intervention in that affair? Idle people will always burn their time discussing matters that are higher than them. But Pastor Chris has grown above and beyond the Social and even the mainstream Media. He doesn’t even need your publicity to do what God is using him to do and your comments also are at best ‘side-talks.’ This is a man that has lived ahead of his generation.
How else can you describe a man who woke up one day and resolved that his mandate is to prepare at least 7 billion souls for rapture if not to say that his inspiration is not from here but from above? Clearly, that’s an audacity of hope or is it faith in its extreme form?
Penetrating with languages, no other material in human history has been translated into every living language- 8,123 languages and 3,999 dialects to reache diverse audience, ensuring that everyone can access its life-changing message in their native language. Rhapsody is also available in Braille, catering to individuals with special needs. If this feat does not seem incredible, I wonder how else anyone can describe it.
Pastor Chris makes greatness look common. If you think this saying is just mere praise singing for the pastor, think twice! If you look at what God has used him to achieve in our lifetime and you don’t deem it fit to appreciate God who has decided to manifest Himself through him, then you are on the ‘other side.’
What would you say about a man who organises programmes where billions are blessed and hundreds of thousands are healed by the power of God even through the cyber space? What about his teachings that resonate with nobles and common people alike?
It all say one thing: the man, the mandate, and his message are not from here but from above, argue it from now till eternity, it will not diminish the truth.
There are men and there are happenings: Pastor Chris was not just born, he happened! He just occurred: he is an occurrence in our generation, he is not just a man! And those who chose to celebrate him do that not only on his birthday but every single day because grace is worth celebrating and the grace you don’t celebrate you cannot attract. Pastor Chris is worth hearing and he is worth celebrating! Happy Blissful Birthday Pastor Sir. More of God’s grace and blessings Sir!
