Rhapsody of Realities August 20th 2025, NOTHING CAN STOP US

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him (Acts 28:30-31).

There are those who have set themselves against the Church and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These are people with the antichrist spirit. They strategize to silence God’s truth and hinder those who boldly proclaim it. But we can’t be quiet. Necessity is laid upon us to preach the Gospel (1 Corinthians 9:16). The Gospel is too precious, and the joy too overwhelming, to keep to ourselves.

It makes no difference the rage of the enemy; no amount of obnoxious laws, threats, systems or evil structures can deter us or suppress the truth. They lack the power to stop the advancement of God’s Kingdom. It brings to mind the words of the psalmist: “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalm 2:1-4).

Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper….” The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, “…I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The Church is marching on, and there’s no force on earth or from hell that can prevail against it. As long as we keep the fight on, on our knees, we’re unstoppable. That’s our strategy, our strength and our advantage.

When opposition arises, we don’t worry or give in to fear. Through prayer, we receive divine wisdom, insight, and solutions. We’re strengthened with might by God’s Spirit in our inner being. In these last days, preach the Gospel without holding back. Remember, this year, we’re completing the full preaching of the Gospel to all nations. We’re doing it with confidence, in the demonstration of the Spirit and power, nothing, and no man forbidding us.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the privilege, opportunities, grace and power to preach the Gospel undeterred, with boldness and faith, in the demonstration of the Spirit and power. Your Word prevails in the nations of the earth and righteousness rains upon all their inhabitants. Your children are full of joy as they preach the Gospel around the world today, for the salvation of many, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
‭‭Isaiah 54:17 AMPC
But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.

‭‭Acts 26:14 KJV
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

‭‭Acts 2:44-47 KJV
And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I am a king and my words are potent: full of power and authority; therefore I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life. I am strengthened with divine enablement in my inner man by the Holy Ghost. I function today with the Spirit of might, dominion, and excellence. The Word of God has mastery over my spirit, soul, and body, and I enjoy divine health, success, and the good life. I belong in God’s superior class of divine beings; therefore, I look beyond the natural realm of existence to my heavenly rights, blessings, and provisions in Christ Jesus!

I do not worry about my health, finances, or anything else because the Lord has perfected all that concerns me. My body cannot be ravaged by sickness, disease, or infirmity because it is God’s sanctuary. I refuse to be sick. I glorify God in my body, and by the Spirit, it functions perfectly all the time because it is the Lord’s. The Spirit of life is working in me. There is no sickness or death in any area of my life or body. I’m daily vitalized by the Holy Spirit who resides in me. Life and immortality have been brought to light in my spirit through the living Word. I enjoy good health, peace, prosperity, and all-round success as I walk in the full blessings that Jesus Christ wrought for me, which I received when I obtained salvation.

God’s Word is established in my life and it is evident for the world to see. I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality and power, far above the devil and his minions, and far above sickness and disease. I live the glorious life of God who is above all and cannot be brought down by anything. I vehemently refuse anything that’s inconsistent with God’s desire for my life. I dwell in health all the days of my life because I have the eternal life of Christ working in me. I live the transcendent life in Christ—now and always. This power in me is greater than sickness, disease, poverty and failure, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.
