Rhapsody of Realities July 12th 2025, ACCEPT GOD’S WORD AS TRUTH

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23).

What a statement from the lips of the Master in our opening scripture above! Notice the profound but very simple instruction: “Only believe.” He says ALL things are possible to you if you believe. What does it take to believe? It simply means to accept that what the Lord has said is true.

The Bible tells a beautiful story in Mark 5 that illustrates this. The Lord Jesus was approached by Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue whose daughter was gravely ill. Desperate for help, Jairus pleaded with the Lord to come and heal his daughter. On their way to Jairus’ house, messengers arrived to tell him his daughter had died.

But then the Bible says, “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:36). When they arrived at Jairus’ house, they found mourners already gathered. But the Lord Jesus took the girl’s hand and said, “…Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise” (Mark 5:41). Immediately, the twelve-year-old stood up and began to walk around, and they were astonished.

Accept the Word of God as truth and act accordingly. That’s faith. Faith is not something you struggle with; it’s simply acting on the Word. That suddenly opens you to limitless possibilities, where anything and everything is possible unto you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word which is true and dependable. I act on your Word with boldness and confidence, knowing that what you have said is true and unchanging. My faith is alive and effectual because I act on your Word. I journey from glory to glory, walking in the light of your Word, and fulfilling your purpose for my life victoriously, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Extract From Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I walk in supernatural strength, supernatural health, supernatural supply, and supernatural abilities every day. My progress is unstoppable because I cannot be limited by sickness, disease, or the negativities of the ordinary life. As Jesus is above all things, so am I. The Holy Spirit has beautified my life. He brings colour into my life. I live a wonderful, colourful, beautiful, and productive life. I rejoice because the Lord Jesus has overcome this world for me. I have been made more than a conqueror in this life. I live in the victory Christ provided me; therefore, I am not afraid of sickness, for I reign in life through Christ Jesus. There’s no death in my path! In my path are life, health, blessings, peace, and prosperity.

Christ is my wisdom, and the Word of God informs me daily, through the Holy Spirit. I’m filled with the fullness of God; loaded with all power, glory, might, and grace! The totality of divinity is fully present in my spirit and uniquely expressed through me! I display the perfections of Christ everyday in sound health and with a life that is sickness-free. I am seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms. Far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come! I’m exalted with Him in glory; I know who I am: chosen, royal, and peculiar! I experience the supernatural in my body every day by the power of God’s Spirit.

I am a carrier of divinity. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in me bodily. I live life in its fullness. Every day of my life is full of God’s glory, beauty, excellence, and grace. I have been conditioned to live a life of glory. I have all that I require to excel and live in perpetual health, godliness, righteousness, and dominion here on earth. I am not subject to the rudiments and limitations of this world because I live in Christ, and Christ is my life. He’s in every fibre of my being, in every bone of my body, and in every cell of my blood. I reign and rule over circumstances in His Name. I walk in divine health and prosperity and function from a vantage position of victory and unending success in Christ. Hallelujah! Speak in tongues.
