*MINISTERING BY THE SPIRIT*

_And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened_ *(Mark 7:33-34)*

Consider how the Lord ministered healing to the deaf-mute in our opening scripture. When you study the Gospels, you'll notice that He ministered to people in different ways. In Matthew 12:13, when He healed a man with a withered hand, He said to him, *"...Stretch forth your hand..."* and when the man obeyed, his withered was restored. The Master didn't need to physically touch the man; He only spoke to him.

In some other instances, He used more personal and physical methods to bring healing to people. For example, in Luke 18:42, He told a blind man, *"Receive your sight,"* and his sight was restored. Similarly, in John 9:6-7, the Lord spat on the ground, made clay with the spittle, anointed a man's eyes with it and instructed him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam. Consequently, his sight was restored.

Even though the Lord didn't always minister in the same way to everyone, one thing was constant. He ministered to them by and through the Spirit, despite their unique conditions or cases. It's the same today. He sent us to heal the sick, cast out devils and raise the dead, and we do these by the Spirit.

We know by the Spirit when all we're to do is merely speak words, lay hands, or do something unique or specific as prompted by the same Spirit. In the Healing School, for example, that's what happens. When I step up to minister to someone, oftentimes, I see by the Spirit, a quick vision of what I'm to do, either before I approach the person or right when I'm standing before him or her. This is through the gifts of the Spirit.

It's different from ministering solely through faith. In that case, you may have to preach a message and act your faith together with the individual, and that'd produce healing through your mutual faith. But the key is being in the Spirit; being full of the Spirit: *"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit"* (Ephesians 5:18).

*CONFESSION*

_Thank you, Father, for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life; I function by the Spirit. I walk in His visions, promptings and blessings. My spirit is sensitive, and my faith is active. I minister in your Name with boldness and divine direction, bringing healing to the sick and blessings to my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Zechariah 4:6* Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

*1 Corinthians 12:7-11* But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. *8* For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; *9* To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; *10* To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: *11* But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

*Romans 8:14*  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

*John 6:63* It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
