*RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL*
*BUILD AND USE YOUR OWN FAITH*
Sunday, November 19th .
Pastor Chris
_*And he said unto them, Where is your faith?... (Luke 8:25).*_
Sometimes, as long as you’re under the cover of someone else, that person may exercise authority over you and your circumstances and it’ll produce results, to a certain degree. For example, as a young Christian many years ago, I went on a trip with a friend of mine and a couple of others. We had some preaching engagements.
This happened at a time when I used to experience serious stomach problems. So while we were on this trip, I wouldn’t eat anything because I would throw up whatever I ate within a few minutes of eating it. I had to watch others eat until my friend, who couldn’t take it anymore, asked me: “Are you fasting?”
I opened up and explained the situation to him and he said to me, “In that case, as long as we’re together on this trip, you’ll not have any problem with your stomach; eat.” I yielded myself immediately to his words, more like riding on his faith, and started eating normally.
And guess what? There was no problem throughout the trip. But when I got back home, the very first thing l’d eat, I threw it all up. The stomach trouble resurfaced. I understood exactly what happened. I submitted myself to my friend’s authority throughout that journey, and it worked.
But there’s just how far such faith can go in helping you deal with life’s issues. I realized I had to put my own faith to work and when I did, I got the victory. You’ve got to keep growing your own faith by increasing your knowledge of the Word and strengthening it by putting it to work. Life is spiritual and you’re responsible for your life—the things that happen with you.
When the disciples ran to Jesus in desperation during the turmoil on the sea, as read in our theme verse, Jesus asked them, “Where is your faith?” He made them realize they could have done something about the situation without necessarily coming to Him.
It makes no difference what has happened or is happening with your finances, job, health or in any area of your life; don’t fret or cry for help! Use your faith. Declare words of faith. The Bible says, _*“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”*_ (Hebrews 11:3).
With your faith affirmations, you can repair, arrange and reconstruct things and circumstances to synchronize with God’s perfect will for your life.
*CONFESSION*
*It makes no difference what has happened or is happening around me; with the Word of God on my lips, I repair, arrange and reconstruct things in line with God’s perfect will. With my faith, I frame my life in the path of glory and excellence. I’m healthy and strong! Glory to God!*
*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. *||*
*||* *Hebrews 10:38* Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. *||*
*||* *Matthew 17:20* And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. *||*

Today, I Confess and Declare that throughout the rest of the days of 2023, *of the greatness of God's government and peace in my life, there will be no end.* I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. By the power of the Holy Spirit that is at work in me, I can accomplish anything, do anything, go anywhere, and be all that God has destined for me to be without any hindering force.
Glory.
Speak in other tongues right at this moment.
This Beautiful Month Of November, I declare that there’s nothing that I do that is void of the anointing and this anointing of God perfects everything that I do. This anointing causes me to spread, flourish, and advance in my life.
I am far ahead of any competitor or distractors because God has granted me the speed of the Spirit and I experience luxuriant growth, and persistent productivity in every area of my life.
Hallelujahhhhh
This Special Day Of November I Proclaim that irrespective of the many challenges, persecutions, hardships and troubles in the world today, I remain steadfast, courageous, and bold in my commitment to the Gospel, and its spread around the world.
My heart burns with passion for the Gospel and I am dedicated to a life that’s meaningful, a life directed to impact others with the power of God’s Word. When men are cast down, I am lifted, because of the lifting power of God that is at work in me *in the Matchless and Most Gracious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!*
🙏🏼 Speak in other tongues right NOW and spiritually energize these your words.
All the Glory to Our God Most High!
Hallelujahhhhh!
🙏 I Prays For You Today:
Today, by the Special Unction of God’s Power upon me, I declare that the traps the enemies set for you and your household; the evil incantations they have hauled against you and your family from the pits and altars of darkness are disabled and shattered by the overwhelming power and anointing of the Holy Ghost, and any tongue that has ever risen against you and your household is condemned and expressly judged by the Lord Himself. Your light from today will shine ever so brightly and the world shall see it and glorify the Lord because of you in Jesus Mighty Name! Amen🙏🏼
DIVINE HEALTH CONFESSIONS
I have received abundant grace. I reign in life with dominion over sickness and death. I have the eternal life of God, which makes it impossible for sickness to dominate my body. No infirmity can corrupt or ravage my body. I belong to God and I only express His virtues and perfection.
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN!!!
