TAKE IT TO THE BANK!

(Always Take God At His Word!)

📖TO THE BIBLE: Luke 5:5-6

“...Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.”

▶️LET’S TALK

When you read Mark 7, it gives an account of a Syrophoenician woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit. She cried out to the Lord Jesus, imploring Him to heal her daughter, but the Master didn’t respond. She remained persistent until the disciples were somewhat embarrassed, and asked Jesus to send her away. Jesus then said to her, “...Let the children be fi lled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs” (Mark 7:27).

Undaunted by this response, she replied, “...Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs” (Mark 7:28). The woman had great faith, which the Lord commended, saying, “...For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter” (Mark 7:29).

I love the way Jesus ministered to that woman. He didn’t talk to the demon; He didn’t say, “Devil, go out of the girl!” Rather, while talking to the woman, He said, “The demon is gone out from your daughter.” That was all the woman needed—a Word from the Master—and she took a hold of that word by faith.

A similar story is that of a nobleman whose son was dying. He spoke with Jesus and all the Master said was “Go your way; your son lives....” The Bible says, “...the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way” (John 4:50). He took the Master at His Word and went away, expecting a miracle.

“Good news, master! The boy is well!” his servants said to him as he returned (John 4:51).

“What time did he begin to get better?” the nobleman asked. The servants replied, “...Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him” (John 4:52). The man then realised that the

miracle took place at the same time Jesus spoke the words of healing. All you need to come out of any predicament is a Word from God: find out what He has said concerning your situation and take a hold of His Word, standing your ground in faith.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity. That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
