RHAPSODY OF REALITIES,
THURSDAY 6TH MAY 2021.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
TOPIC: MINISTERING THE WORD
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts (Haggai 2:9).
In Acts 4, we read that the saints of the early Church, in a time of intense persecution, prayed to the Lord. They said, “…grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus” (Acts 4:29-30).
Few chapters after that, Peter went into the house of Cornelius the Roman centurion and the Bible says, “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word”*_ (Acts 10:44). Remarkable indeed!
The word “fell” is translated from the Greek “epipipto,” which means to embrace with affection, to fall like rain or fall upon someone in an embrace. As Peter spoke those gracious words of salvation, the Holy Ghost embraced everyone in Cornelius’ household, and they were all recreated and filled with the Spirit. Hallelujah!
Such experiences ought to be commonplace through the Church of Jesus Christ. In these last days, the Spirit of God is moving on His children to preach and teach His Word with power, with miracles, signs and wonders. God’s people around the world are going to be amazed at the move of the Spirit in their lives at a degree they’d never seen before.
Become conscious of this as you go preaching the Word everywhere. While you’re yet speaking and preaching in the offices, in the shops, in the streets, schools and shopping malls, the Holy Ghost will fall on your hearers and they’ll be filled with the Spirit.
Get yourself immersed in Him every day. Before you go out, get filled with the Spirit. Soak your spirit more in the Holy Spirit through fellowship. Pray and fast often. God’s power to save, heal, deliver and bless is in the Gospel, which has been committed to your trust to share with others by the power of God’s Spirit. And this is the time!
PRAYER
Oh Lord God, there’s none like you; you’re greater than all, and all the nations belong to you. The heavens shout your praise and your Name is exalted forevermore. As your children go about preaching the Gospel everywhere, you confirm their words with signs following, resulting in massive harvests of souls into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

John 7:38-39
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Acts 4:31 & 33
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Mark 16:20
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that I am the light of the world. Everywhere I go, I give illumination; I introduce clarity, refinement, innovation, and sound judgment. I have eyes that see, ears that hear, and a heart that understands the will and purposes of God.
My communication of the Gospel is effective through clear insight into every good thing that is in me by Christ Jesus. I am an expression of the excellences and perfections of my Heavenly Father.
Therefore, I exhibit cultured elegance in behavior and manner. I am full of divine innovations. I am creative, full of new ideas, strategies, methods, products, and services that keep me light-years ahead of my contemporaries.
I function with sound judgment, flawless discernment and authoritative wisdom. I make excellent decisions and come to accurate conclusions through spiritual perception. Wisdom is heard in my mouth and seen in my actions. I am a strong and courageous leader.
I admonish, teach, inspire and give guidance in accordance with the wisdom of God.
I have the capacity to fill people with urge, a desire, to know God and to walk in His perfect will for their lives. My passion for Christ and the Gospel is contagious.
I shine brightly, turning many to righteousness and giving them a purpose for living. I am the world’s light; no one who follows me stumbles around in darkness. I give plenty of light to live in. Many come to sit and learn of me, because my words communicate the ever-shining light of God’s Word.
I am bold and unapologetic with the LoveWorld message, making it known throughout the world with my partnership and my soul-winning activities. Glory to God. Hallelujah!
