Some senators have thrown their weight behind the plan to distribute 10 billion copies of Rhapsody of Realities, a monthly devotional publication by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy Church, to stimulate attitudinal change for growth and national development.
The senators gave their commitment on Thursday at the inauguration of the initiative tagged “Reachout World Day with Rhapsody of Realities” at the National Assembly Complex.
Senator Omueya Dafinone (APC/Delta) described Rhapsody of Realities as a life guide that brings daily perspectives of God’s word to the readers.
According to him, the publication intends to bring readers around the world the opportunity to review their lives on a daily basis in order to live a better life.
Senator Thomas Joel-Onowakpo (PDP/Delta) said the initiative’s target would require lots of money to meet, urging the implementers not to panic but to believe that “the money for the work of God will come.”
Earlier, in his opening remarks, director of Christ Embassy Ministry Centre in Abuja Pastor Obi Chiemeka said the publication had been translated into 8,132 languages across the world and also in braille for the blind.
Chiemeka said that the publication was currently undergoing translations in different dialects which, when added, would bring the total number of translations to 12,000 and that it would be distributed monthly.
“That is why we are having this national launch day. We want people to know that on December 2, we are distributing 10 billion copies across the world,” he said.
Executive director of CYPA-Africa Dr Chris Iyam said that if lawmakers could begin their day by reading Rhapsody of Realities, they would not make mistakes in whatever law is being passed in the country.
Iyam added that the national launch, held at the National Assembly complex with 360 members of the House of Representatives and 109 senators, was strategic.
According to him, millions of destinies in the country are in the hands of the members of the National Assembly.
