*SAY WHAT HE SAID*

_Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me_ *(Hebrews 13:5-6)*

God didn’t give us the Scriptures merely for information, inspiration, or moral instruction. While the Scriptures certainly build and educate us, Hebrews 13:5-6 gives us a profound insight into the ultimate reason God speaks to us. His Word produces in us and for us what it talks about. And I’ll explain how this works.

After saying in verse five, *“...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,”* verse 6 says, *“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper...”* Notice the sequence: He spoke so that you may speak. This is one of the most important principles in the Christian life. God gives you His Word so you can receive it into your spirit and speak the same thing in agreement with Him. 

So, in Christianity, we speak God’s language, we declare His Word boldly and we have what we say. God already lives in you by His Spirit. If His desire were merely to control you mechanically, He wouldn’t need to speak to you through the Scriptures. But He wants you to become an active participant in the divine experience, in the operation of His Word, by speaking in agreement with Him.

This is how faith works. You receive God’s Word into your spirit and voice it. You speak His truth concerning your health, your future, your finances, your family, and every area of your life. The Word of God in your mouth is God talking; His power goes to work in your behalf, aligning circumstances in your favour. 

Many desire God’s Word to be fulfilled in their lives but they don’t speak it. Yet, the Word only becomes effective in your life and circumstances when you affirm it boldly. Therefore, always speak life, victory, righteousness, health, prosperity, and dominion. This is the secret of a triumphant Christian life. 

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for your Word given to me to live by and speak boldly. I speak in agreement with your truth concerning my life, and your Word prevails in me mightily. My life is regulated by your Word, and I walk continually in victory, faith, dominion and glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Mark 11:23* For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

*Romans 10:8-10* But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; *9* That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. *10* For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

*2 Corinthians 4:13* We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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...
