TOPIC ✨ EMPOWERED TO CHANGE OUR WORLD ✨

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 Lord Jesus spent about three years with His disciples before His death, burial and resurrection. During the period, they learnt from Him, walked with Him, watched His miracles, heard His message, and received direct impartations from Him. They had a message, they had the calling, and they had been trained.

Yet, before they could take a step into ministry, He gave them this vital 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. In other words, even though they were ready in every other sense, they needed one more thing: the promise of my Father.

That promise was the Holy Spirit, and without Him, their efforts wouldnt produce divine results. But with Him, they would be effective.And thats exactly what happened. Luke, in Acts 2:14-41, describes how the same Peter who had once denied Jesus Luke 22:61-62 stood up boldly on the day of Pentecost and delivered a powerful message that transformed three thousand lives: "But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them..." Acts 2:14.

He didnt stop there. In Acts 4:4, after he and John healed a lame man, he preached boldly again and the Bible says, "...many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand." Thats effectiveness. Thats divine speed. Through the Holy Spirit, Peters outreach expanded rapidly, resulting in thousands being saved within a very short time.

Today, we have the same Holy Spirit, and the results are the same. Hes made us effective witnesses. Were not trying to get into that place of power; weve already been endued with power Acts 1:8. Weve been empowered to change our world as able ministers of the Gospel 2 Corinthians 3:5-6. Were making an impact, transforming lives all over the world. Were functioning exactly as God intended, with power, with dominion, and with undeniable results.

Were moving with the speed of the Spirit, for the Bible says, A quick work will the Lord do, and cut it short in righteousness Romans 9:28. This is not by might, nor by human power, but by the Spirit of the living God. Its Gods wisdom, Gods speed, and Gods ability at work in us. The Gospel is prevailing. The nations are open. The harvest is abundant. And this is all to His glory

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and has made me effective in life and ministry. Im walking in power, wisdom and dominion, producing results that bring you glory, advancing your Kingdom with divine speed, in Jesus Name. Amen.

‭‭Acts 2:14-22 KJV
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

‭‭Acts 1:8 KJV
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

‭‭2 Corinthians 3:5-6 KJV
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

TOPIC ✨ THE CHARACTER OF YOUR INWARD MAN ✨

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man (Romans 7:22).

In Romans 7:22, Paul the apostle uses a striking phrase: “the inward man.” That's the real you. The outward man, clothed in beautiful apparel, is simply the house in which the real person lives. So, when Paul said, "I delight in the law of God after the inward man," he was showing us something deeply spiritual: your inner man is active, aware, and responsive to God.

Everything you are, outwardly, is a reflection of your inner person. In the spirit realm, you don't appear as someone else; no! You look like you. So when you see yourself in the spirit, there's no confusion or disconnect. You'll say, "Yes, that's me!" Your spirit carries your identity.

Someone might ask, "If I'm physically fat, for example, does that mean my spirit is fat?" No, this is not about body mass or the anatomy of the physical body. In the spirit, you don't see a fat or thin person; you simply see you. The real transformation, the one that truly matters, is your inner man. That’s why the emphasis is building your inner man; that’s where the day-to-day renewal takes place: “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16).

If you want changes in your life, start from the inside. Many struggle with discipline, for instance, but discipline isn't achieved by external effort alone. It begins in the inward man. Train your spirit, feed it with the Word, and your outward life will align. That’s why we say, “Change the inside first”; change the inner man, and the outward man will follow.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for enlightening me through your Word to recognise my true self, the inward man. I grow in character and strength from within, and my outward life is shaped by the excellence of my spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
2 Corinthians 4:16 AMPC
Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day.

1 Peter 3:4 KJV
But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Ephesians 3:16 KJV
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

📜THE POWER OF “EPIGNOSIS”

📖 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC. DSC. DD.

The Apostle Peter addresses those who have obtained like precious faith through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Then he declares, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord" (2 Peter 1:2).

But he's not referring to just any kind of knowledge. The Greek word used for knowledge here is “Epignósis,” a specialized knowledge. It refers to the knowledge that comes through relationship and experience. It's knowledge that relates with that object of knowledge or that which is known. You may know something intellectually, but that doesn't mean you relate with it.

“Epignósis” is full, deep, exact knowledge. Think of it like footballers: some of them can control the ball with astonishing mastery. It's as though they've become one with the ball. They've made friends with it. To them, it's no longer just a piece of leather but something that has gained a personality to them.

Contrast that with someone who has general knowledge about the round leather ball. He or she might know the material, size, or structure of the ball. He may even be able to tell you the science behind its design, but he can't control it. He has no mastery of the ball.

Mastery comes by relationship, and “Epignósis” is the knowledge that makes us masters. It unites the knower with that which is known. It comes through meditation on the Word—when the Word becomes personal to you and moves from theory to relationship. This establishes you and causes grace and peace to be multiplied in your life. So, cultivate that relationship with the Word. Let it become more than information. Let it become a living reality; your life will blossom, and you’ll be a wonder to your world.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into a deeper and more intimate knowledge of you through your Word. I walk in multiplied grace and peace today, functioning with the precise and full knowledge of your Word. My spirit is established, strengthened and aligned with your perfect will for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY📖
Joshua 1:8 AMPC; This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

Colossians 1:9-10 KJV; For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

2 Peter 3:18 KJV; But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.

TOPIC ✨ 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 hand 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, cleanse the lepers, 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 KJV
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 KJV
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 KJV
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

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

*STRENGTHENED AND ESTABLISHED*

*Monday, November 10th*

*Pastor Chris*

_*For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established (Romans 1:11).*_

The word "established" in the scripture above is translated from the Greek "stērizō," which means to be made strong or strengthened again. Paul longed to see the Christians in Rome so he could minister to them to be strengthened, spiritually fortified, and grounded.

This same word appears in Acts 15:41, where it says, _*"And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches."*_ Here, it’s translated as “confirming,” but it’s the same Greek word, “stērizō.” You’d also find it in Acts 16:5 translated as “established”: _*"And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily."*_

When the churches were strengthened, they grew. Establishment in the Word and in the Spirit results in spiritual maturity and church growth. This spiritual strengthening isn't just about an increase in the number of people in the church; it's about the spiritual depth and stability of the members. Paul's impartation was to make them strong, to give them a spiritual advantage.

That's the real “confirmation”; it’s not achieved through religious rituals or recitations, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the Word and oftentimes, the laying on of hands. Sometimes, for you to operate at a new and higher level of ministry requires more grace, this kind of strengthening; and you must be positioned to receive it.

James 4:6 says, _*"But he giveth more grace…."*_ When there's a new challenge, a new assignment, or an expanded vision, what you need is more grace. So, receive it even now, and function at a new and higher level; established, strong and courageous for the work of the Kingdom. Amen.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the impartation of spiritual gifts and the abundance of grace at work in my life. My spirit is strengthened and established by your Word. I receive more grace for every new level, new responsibility, and greater vision. I walk in the fullness of your divine enablement and fulfil my calling gloriously, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

TOPIC ✨ YOU CAN COUNT ON HIM ✨

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city (Acts 18:9-10).

As a soul winner, the Lord Himself is your defence. You can count on Him to protect and keep you from harm or evil as you go about witnessing to others about Jesus Christ. Be confident in His ever-present guidance and protection. You’re not alone in this divine assignment. He who sent you is with you, and He speaks to you and through you.

Think about Paul, in Acts 18, after he faced strong opposition from the Jews for preaching that Jesus is Lord, he turned to the Gentiles. The Lord guided Him and he led Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, his entire household, and many of the Corinthians to believe and receive salvation (Acts 18:7-8). Then the Bible says, “One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God” (Acts 18:9-11 NIV).

The Lord didn’t leave Paul hamstrung or in uncertainty. He spoke to him and assured him of His ever-present guidance and protection. This happened in Corinth, a city so significant that Paul later wrote two epistles to the church there. In fact, from Bible study, we understand he even wrote a third letter that isn’t in the canon of Scripture.

But at that crucial moment in Corinth, Paul needed reassurance, and the Lord gave it to him. Emboldened by the Word of the Lord, Paul remained there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God with boldness and power, raising disciples. And thanks be unto God, the same Spirit is working in, with and through you as you disciple others.

Be conscious of His ministry with, in and through you. He said, “…surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NIV). With Him, you’ll navigate oppositions and accomplish your divine assignment gloriously.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your ever-abiding presence and the assurance that I’m never alone. I’m guided by your Spirit, and strengthened to be effective, bold and courageous in soul winning. Thank you for those you’ve appointed and prepared to receive salvation today, as your truth is proclaimed all around the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Acts 1:8 KJV But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 18:9-11 TLB
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t quit! 10 For I am with you and no one can harm you. Many people here in this city belong to me.” 11 So Paul stayed there the next year and a half, teaching the truths of God.

TOPIC ✨ YOUR VOCATION—A PLATFORM TO REACH OTHERS ✨

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ (Acts 18:5).

In Acts chapter 18, Luke, by the Spirit, gives us insight into the soul-winning strategy of the Apostle Paul. He arrived in Corinth and met Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who had just relocated from Italy. The Bible says they were tentmakers, and because Paul was of the same trade, he joined them and worked alongside them.

This wasn't a mere coincidence; it was a divine strategy. Paul used his trade as a connection point—he found common ground with them. During the week, he worked. But every Sabbath, he went into the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the Greeks, persuading them concerning Christ. His tent-making served as a bridge into the lives of others, and from there, he introduced them to the Gospel.

Then something significant happened. When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was stirred, pressed in the spirit, and immediately began testifying boldly that Jesus was the Christ. The atmosphere had changed. The presence of fellow labourers brought fresh fire and inspiration. The time for reasoning was over.

This shows us the power of spiritual companionship. When you're around others who are fervent in soul winning, it propels you to greater boldness. In the company of soul winners, the Spirit moves you. You receive strength and courage to proclaim the Gospel without fear.

Even Aquila and Priscilla, who initially received Paul as a tentmaker, were so impacted that later, they ministered to Apollos and helped him receive the Holy Ghost. What started as a business relationship became a platform for transformation and ministry.

Recognise that God strategically places you in certain environments for the sake of the Gospel. Be spiritually conscious of this truth and seize every opportunity to testify that Jesus is Lord. Let the excellence of your spirit shine through. You're not just a lawyer, banker, politician, medical doctor, marketer, or athlete; you're a soul winner, sent from God! Your vocation is a platform for you to impact and transform the lives of those in your same line of work.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for strategically positioning me in my world to impact others with the Gospel. I’m led by the Spirit to recognise and seize opportunities to transform lives, reshape destinies, and reveal your righteousness. The boldness of the Spirit is at work in me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 NKJV
that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore [you] on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

Acts 18:1-6 KJV
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES, DAILY DEVOTIONAL, FRIDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2025. Pastor Chris

TOPIC ✨ TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOUL-WINNING OPPORTUNITIES ✨

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot (Acts 8:29).

Always, the Holy Spirit, who is the Master Strategist, guides us in our soul-winning efforts. He leads you from within and makes your witnessing effective, guiding you on the right words to say and actions to take. He opens the door and expects you to recognise and seize the moment.

Consider, for example, how He guided Philip in Acts 8 to minister to the Ethiopian eu**ch. Philip had already received direction from an angel to go to a certain location, but when he arrived there, the Holy Spirit spoke to him and gave him clear instructions on what to do: "Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot" (Acts 8:29).

Notice how precise the Spirit’s instruction was: “Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.” With that, Philip understood what was required because he was evangelism-conscious. He didn’t ask, “What next?” or hesitate; rather, upon getting to the chariot, he immediately began expounding the Scriptures to the Ethiopian Eu**ch (Read Acts 8:30-39). That’s how soul winners operate.

When you're attuned to the Spirit, He doesn’t have to give you a full script. You recognise the moment, and you know what to say. The Holy Spirit simply opens the door and you walk in, equipped and ready. That’s how Philip led the Ethiopian eu**ch to Christ. You must be that kind of Christian: one who takes full advantage of soul-winning opportunities.

Many times, I’ve had such moments. Even before the conversation begins, I’m already speaking in tongues under my breath, preparing “the soil.” I don’t waste time. I go straight to the point: “Have you received the Holy Spirit?” or “Are you born again?”

I don’t want to leave the conversation without talking about Jesus. What if that’s the only chance I’ll ever get? What if it’s their only opportunity to hear the Gospel? So, when the Holy Spirit nudges you, seize the moment. Speak boldly. Recognise the open door and walk through it.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and guides me in all things. I’m sensitive to His leading and alert to the opportunities He presents. I walk through every open door with boldness and wisdom, fulfilling your call to win souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Acts 8:29-35 KJV
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eu**ch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

John 4:4-14 KJV
And he must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

2 Timothy 4:2 KJV
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
