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.

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...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
