Rhapsody of Realities January 29th 2025, A CALL TO ACT YOUR FAITH

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

In Luke 8:22-25, the Lord Jesus and His disciples set sail across the lake when a violent storm arose, causing the boat to be filled with water. The disciples, filled with fear, woke Jesus, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” Jesus then arose, rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and the storm immediately ceased, resulting in a great calm. It was a marvellous display of divine authority.

Then the Bible says, “…And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him” (Luke 8:25). Now, here’s what’s important: after rebuking the wind and the waves, Jesus turned to His disciples and asked, “Where is your faith?” That statement speaks volumes. He’s saying, “You could have done it yourselves.”

By asking, “Where is your faith?” the Lord Jesus revealed that what they needed all along was their faith. He demonstrated that with faith, even the forces of nature are subject to us. He expected His disciples to know that their faith could have handled the situation.

Hebrews 11:33-34 tells us what our forebears did through faith. They subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

We can do the same and even more in our day because we have the same spirit of faith (2 Corinthians 4:13). Our faith is real, it is substance, it has power, and the beautiful thing is that every Christian has faith. We all have the same measure of faith (Romans 12:3), and with your faith, you can do anything. You can change anything. The forces of nature, hell and of this world are subject to you.

Activate your faith even now and speak to the storm, and there’ll be a great calm. Speak to your body, your blood, your bones, your heart and kidneys. Speak to your job, your finances, and your business. Speak and declare perfection in your health, your home and family.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. ||

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I am a product of the Word; what the Word says about me is the truth, and it is my reality. I dwell in Zion, the city whose builder and maker is God. Where I live, nobody says “I am sick,” because divine health is embedded in the everlasting life that we enjoy. No illness can abide in my body because I carry God. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, because my life is hid in Christ, and Christ in God. In Him, I live, move, and have my being. I am bold, strong, and courageous in my daily walk of faith. My words are quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. With my words, I cut down everything in my body that is contrary to God’s provisions for my health.

I am not ordinary; for God has granted me the authority to heal the sick, raise the dead, forgive sins and turn men’s hearts to righteousness. I have eternal life in my spirit, because I’ve received Christ. Christ in me means glory in my life; it means divinity revealed and expressed in, and through me. I’m the expression of the beauties and righteousness of Christ. Life is at work in me; in every fiber of my being, in every cell of my blood and in every bone of my body. I function in the authority of Jesus, for as He is the effulgence of God’s glory, dispenser of His mercies, goodness and grace, so am I in this world! I am full of divine life and everything I do exudes my indestructible, inexhaustible, and incorruptible life. It emanates from me in words and deeds because as Jesus is, so am I.

I can never be sick, broken, wounded, or defeated because I have this very life of God in me. I live the victorious life that God has called me into; a triumphant life that is above sickness, poverty, failure, and every disease. I take full advantage of the divine life that is at work in me, as I display the virtues and perfections of Christ. My body was fashioned for the Lord’s presence, and it is powered by the righteousness of God. I reject the world’s view about aging because I live in agelessness, wantlessness, and deathlessness. Each day, I get stronger and healthier because the Word of God renews my youth in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
