Rhapsody Of Realities 15 August 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Sustained By The Spirit

TOPIC: Sustained By The Spirit (Rhapsody of Realities 15 August 2024)

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11).

By the Spirit, the Apostle Paul explained something profound in Ephesians 5:30. He said, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.” This statement goes beyond us being the members of a local church. By referring to us as members of Christ’s body, of His flesh, and of His bones, it describes our inextricable oneness with Him—our unity and intimacy with Christ Himself.

But did you notice that Paul didn’t say, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, his bones, and of his blood?” You need to understand that Christ’s body doesn’t have any blood anymore. Jesus gave His blood as a sacrificial offering during His crucifixion. His blood was entirely drained out when a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear, causing blood and water to gush out (John 19:34). By the time Jesus was buried, there was no blood left in His body.

However, on the third day, the Holy Spirit came upon Him, quickened His dead body and brought Him back to life. Therefore, Jesus’ resurrected body does not contain blood but is sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit. And as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).
Before you were born again, your body lived by blood. But now that the Holy Spirit lives in you, even though there’s blood in your body, your sustenance is by the Spirit. No wonder Paul asserts in Romans 8:11, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

Often, you should declare, “I don’t live by blood. I live by the Holy Ghost. Therefore, cancer, blood disorders, or any form of infection can’t thrive in my body because I am sustained by the Holy Ghost.”

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and gives life to every fibre of my being, keeping me in divine health. Every part of my body is vitalized and strengthened by your Spirit, from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Romans 8:11 – But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Galatians 5:25 – If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
