IT REQUIRES THE SUPERNATURAL

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me… (Acts 1:8).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

Preaching the Gospel requires the supernatural. Notice I didn’t say the “spectacular” but the supernatural. The supernatural is that which is powered by the Spirit. The Spirit of God is in us and with us; He’s the power of our lives. Our sufficiency is in Him. 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament….” 

The ministry you’ve been called into is the ministry of the Spirit, entrusted to you by the Spirit Himself. Without Him, you cannot fulfil it; but with Him, nothing is impossible. This is why your relationship with Him is absolutely vital.

As much as God wanted the early disciples to go out and preach the Gospel, He gave them a profound instruction: “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). The empowerment came just as promised in Acts 2:1-4, when they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

From that moment, everything changed; it became dynamic evangelism. They preached the Gospel with boldness and demonstrated the power of God through miracles, signs, and wonders by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!

The message He gave us is one that’s humanly difficult to believe without the supernatural. In fact, it was easier for those in Bible days to believe it than it is for people today, but even then, they still needed the supernatural. How much more, therefore, do we need it in our day! We need the proof of our message. And our heavenly Father is fully aware of this and has already made the necessary provisions.

You’re not the one trying to convince God to give you proof; He’s the one telling you that you need it. He’s the one offering it. Many pray, “O God, I want to preach the Gospel with power,” but He already knows that. He’s the one stirring that desire in your heart. So, pay attention as He guides you in the steps to take.

Having received the Holy Spirit, you now have the power to be an effective witness, a proof-producer, just as we read in our opening scripture. Trust His grace at work in your life. Trust His Word. When He speaks to you and gives you guidance in your heart, receive it. His guidance is always supernatural, even when it may not appear outwardly spectacular.

 PRAYER 

In the Name of the Lord Jesus, I function always in the power of the Spirit. I’m yielded to the Holy Spirit who inspires my thoughts, words, and confirms my message with miraculous signs and wonders. I’m a dispenser of divine power and solutions. Through me, lives are transformed and nations are impacted, by the Spirit of God. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Zechariah 4:6 NKJV; So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 AMPC; 1 And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them], So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.

Acts 14:3 NIV So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
