Pastor Chris’s Devotional Rhapsody of Realities makes history

Pastor Chris’s Devotional Rhapsody of Realities which started some 22 years ago as a daily devotional has made history as the world’s most translated literature ever in human history.

The Director of Operations, LoveWorld Publishing, Pastor (Mrs.) Lola Aisida who made this known said the publication has now been translated into 7,000 worldwide with 520 of these languages from Nigeria alone.

“Never in the history of the world, and in all the record books of Guinness Book of World Records, has any literary material – be it document, film, writing, book, or any piece of historical or modern parchment – been translated into 7,000 languages.

“The meteoric rise of the Rhapsody of Realities devotional to the most-coveted spot as the world’s No 1 daily devotional and now Most Translated Book in the world began with the first edition published in the English Language by LoveWorld Publishing.”

“In all of the countries and cities, strengths and outsource, in every nation of the world, we know that this is a big win for us, a big win for Nigeria and the rest of Africa. Such an extraordinary and outstanding delivery in the face of complex realities underscores our resilience as we publish and tell the true story of triumph.

According to Pastor Aisida, translation is tedious work, even as she said that LoveWorld Publishing has proven that the translation of a book into all known languages of the World is work that can be done.

“There are 7,139 languages spoken today, but a report says 42 percent of these languages are endangered. These statistics posed a global challenge fit only for a global publishing house that transcends the inadequacies of the publishing space.”

She concluded that LoveWorld Publishing will ensure that no language goes extinct as Rhapsody of Realities will remain widely distributed month after month in over 7,000 languages of the world.

Speaking, the Abuja Zonal Pastor, Christ Embassy, Dipo Esho, appreciated Pastor Oyakhilome “for bringing men into the reality of the original purpose for which they were created,” through the book.

He said the Ministry would ensure the book continues to reach all communities in nations of the world.

According to him, the purpose of the book is “to bring men back to their creator for their purpose to be fulfilled,” mentioning that testimonies abound of people in hopeless situations who have got the reason to live again by reading the book.

Meanwhile, a user, Dr. Chris Iyamu, said the Rhapsody of Realities has been transforming lives, mentioning that as users, there has been the creation of study groups meeting daily to study the book.

He said the book is mind enlightening and the testimonies of its users have shown productive contributions in their various endeavors, including legislators in the National Assembly and public offices.

Another user, Michael Egbo, who was the first person to take the devotional out of the country, said the book has been of a huge blessing to him and his family.

Egbo, who has been supplying the devotional to Ghana Prisons for over 29 years, said through the devotional over 500 prisoners have given their lives to Jesus Christ and one of them is now a Pastor of the Gospel in Togo.
