Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, through his unwavering passion and pioneering evangelistic tools like Rhapsody of Realities, is igniting a movement of soul-winning around the world. In the heart of every believer beats a divine calling: the call to share the message of Jesus Christ and invite souls into the richness of a restored relationship with the Father.
Pastor Chris: A Passion In Tune with the Great Commission
Soul-winning is a divine mandate that Pastor Chris holds as central to the life of every believer. He passionately teaches that evangelism is the truest expression of love: a believer who loves truly cannot help but share the gift of salvation. As one article poignantly puts it: “When you love someone, you want them to have the best, and there is nothing better than the gift of salvation.” For Pastor Chris, winning souls carries eternal value—it showcases love in action.
At the core of his ministry lies a sincere belief that soul-winning is not optional but essential. Through crusades, healing services, and outreach programs, he encourages believers globally to step up in faith and lead others into the freedom and joy of knowing Christ.
Rhapsody of Realities: More Than a Devotional—A “Messenger Angel”
Enter Rhapsody of Realities, affectionately dubbed the “Messenger Angel.” Since its inception in January 2001, this daily devotional by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has grown into a spiritual phenomenon. As of its 20th anniversary, it was distributed across all 242 countries and territories, with over 3.6 billion copies circulated.
Tailored for every demographic, the devotional comes in diverse formats—print, audio, e-book—and has variants such as Rhapsody of Realities for Early Readers, Teevo for Teenagers, and even Braille editions for the visually impaired.
What makes this resource so potent is not just its accessibility but the way it plants seeds of truth and daily encouragement. Each copy is seen as a spiritual investment, an opportunity to sow the Gospel into hearts, with the possibility of life-transforming harvest.
ReachOut Campaigns with Pastor Chris: Evangelism in Action
Where the contagious enthusiasm of evangelism meets grassroots engagement, the ReachOut Campaigns emerge as vibrant testimonies of faith in motion. These are not mere book distributions; they are festive carnivals of the Spirit, with massive giveaways of Rhapsody of Realities across cities and communities.
The inaugural Reach Out campaign in 2007 marked a historic starting point, with massive devotional distributions, community projects, and vibrant carnivals showcasing God’s love in tangible ways. Over the years, these campaigns have grown in scale and reach, reaching millions with the Word of God and often accompanied by projects that uplift local communities.
Building on this momentum, ReachOut World Day became a decisive turning point in global evangelism. On December 2, 2024, millions of believers worldwide came together to distribute Rhapsody of Realities in every known language and dialect in a monumental outreach initiative. From urban centers to remote villages, testimonies of healing, salvation, and renewed hope poured in as the Gospel swept across continents.
As the campaign extended throughout December, believers remained active—sharing devotionals, engaging in prayer walks, and lifting up hearts through social media, on TV broadcasts via Rhapsody TV and LoveWorld networks. This wasn’t just a one-day event; it was a declaration that soul-winning is a continuous call.
Soul-Winning: Faith in Motion
Behind every outreach strategy stands a set of spiritual principles Pastor Chris continually emphasizes. In one devotional, he declares: “There’s no better way to express your love for Jesus Christ than to win souls for Him… soul-winning is worth everything…” Then he encourages believers to boldly declare: “In the Name of Jesus, I claim ten souls for Jesus Christ today, by the power of the Holy Spirit!” This is faith in bold action.
In another reflection, Pastor Chris outlines three critical qualities of an effective soul-winner:
-
Clarity—the messenger must first understand the Gospel themselves before communicating it effectively.
-
Conviction—a deep, unshakable belief in who Christ is and His power to save.
-
Possession—owning the truth personally; living out the message one shares.
These foundational truths transform soul-winning from a task into a lifestyle—a lifestyle marked by bold declarations of faith and continuous growth in spiritual maturity.
A Call to Join the Movement
As we reflect on the synergy between Pastor Chris’ passionate dedication and the widespread reach of Rhapsody of Realities, we see a beautiful picture of evangelism empowered to transform our world. Soul-winning is tangible, executable, and life-changing.
Soul-winning is a calling to partner, to distribute, to pray, to believe in God’s ability to reach hearts across language, culture, and geography. Let us rise up, equipped with clarity, conviction, and possession. Let’s sow the Word in homes, schools, marketplaces, and marketplaces of ideas. Let us advocate that every devotional shared, every prayer lifted, is a divine opportunity to spark eternal change.
Together, with the heartbeat of Pastor Chris, the power of Rhapsody of Realities, and the conviction of believers everywhere—we are not just spreading pages of words; we are ushering in living transformation, one soul, one city, one nation at a time.
