Rhapsody Of Realities 12 July 2025 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Accept God’s Word As Truth

TOPIC: Accept God’s Word As Truth (Rhapsody of Realities 12 July 2025)

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

What a statement from the lips of the Master in our opening scripture above! Notice the profound but very simple instruction: “Only believe.” He says ALL things are possible to you if you believe. What does it take to believe? It simply means to accept that what the Lord has said is true.

The Bible tells a beautiful story in Mark 5 that illustrates this. The Lord Jesus was approached by Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue whose daughter was gravely ill. Desperate for help, Jairus pleaded with the Lord to come and heal his daughter. On their way to Jairus’ house, messengers arrived to tell him his daughter had died.

But then the Bible says, “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:36). When they arrived at Jairus’ house, they found mourners already gathered. But the Lord Jesus took the girl’s hand and said, “…Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise” (Mark 5:41). Immediately, the twelve-year-old stood up and began to walk around, and they were astonished.

Accept the Word of God as truth and act accordingly. That’s faith. Faith is not something you struggle with; it’s simply acting on the Word. That suddenly opens you to limitless possibilities, where anything and everything is possible unto you.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your Word, which is true and dependable. I act on your Word with boldness and confidence, knowing that what you have said is true and unchanging. My faith is alive and effectual because I act on your Word. I journey from glory to glory, walking in the light of your Word, and fulfilling your purpose for my life victoriously, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
