Rhapsody of Realities, Friday, March 24th. 2023, By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD DSc DD

USE WHAT YOU’VE GOT

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him (Mark 1:25-26).

As Christians, we’ve been given dominion over Satan and the powers of darkness in the Name of Jesus. We have to use what we’ve got. Don’t negotiate with demons. When you say to them, “Out!” they have to obey because you’re using the authority of the Lord Jesus.

The Bible says the people were amazed at Jesus in His day because with authority He commanded unclean spirits and they obeyed Him (Mark 1:27). The Bible says, “…he cast out the spirits with his word…” (Matthew 8:16). That’s what you’re to do.

Exercise your dominion in Christ; use the power of the Holy Spirit. The Good News Bible translation of our theme verse says, “Jesus ordered the spirit, ‘Be quiet, and come out of the man!’ The evil spirit shook the man hard, gave a loud scream, and came out of him.” They couldn’t resist Jesus; and they can’t resist you.

As you pray and intercede for people and for nations, cast out devils! Command the evil spirits responsible for the wickedness, confusion and darkness in the world to come out of your nation, city, town and village. Command the prince of the power of the air to take his hands off the
people so the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ may shine in their hearts to receive salvation.

Satan has no right to run things in your life, in your home or in the lives of your loved ones. Exercise your authority in Christ against him. Don’t wait for someone else to do it for you. Every Christian has the ability to cast out devils. Jesus has given you the authority; walk and live in His Name. Use what you’ve got!

CONFESSION:

I have authority over demons and the cohorts of darkness in the Name of Jesus. Therefore, I break the cords of bondage over men’s lives! The righteousness of God is established in the nations, cities, towns and villages of the world, in the Name of Jesus! What a life of glory, dominion and power given to us in Christ Jesus, to live above Satan and his cohorts of darkness. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:
Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

I vehemently refuse anything that’s inconsistent with God’s desire for my life. I dwell in health all the days of my life because I have the eternal life of Christ working in me. This power in me is greater than sickness. I cannot be sick because Jesus makes me well. He has paralyzed the works of the enemy and has brought them to nothing. Therefore, I reign over Satan and his cohorts of darkness by the power of the Holy Spirit and in the Name of Jesus. I know who I am! I’m from above and my life is the supernatural life of God’s Word. I think the right thoughts, speak the right words, and receive the results of God’s Word in my life today and always. In the Name of Jesus, I’m healthy and whole, not subject to the afflictions and corruptions that are in the world. I live the perfect and transcendent life in Christ Jesus. Eternal life is my present-hour possession.

The very God-life is tabernacled in my body; therefore, no sickness can fasten itself to my body. I am fashioned after the Last Adam, a life-giving Spirit. I live in God’s deathless zone, walking in the light of His Word. I walk by faith and not by sensory perception. I declare my victory over sickness, poverty, failure and death. I am not moved by the prevalent circumstances in this world because I am impregnable to sickness and disease. My life is a sure testimony that there’s a higher life in Christ. The good life is mine, health is mine, and joy is aglow in my spirit. Everyday, the Lord is my portion and my joy overflows continually in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.

Welcome to Nze Ikay's Investigative Blog, A Place Where Truth Finds Its Voice. A New Chapter in African Investigative Journalism. "The duty of the press is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." — Finley Peter Dunne I welcome you to Nze Ikay's Investigative Blog, the digital heartbeat of Nze Ikay Media and Communication Limited. Here, we do not merely report news. We dig deep. We ask the uncomfortable questions. We follow the footprints in the dark, armed only with the torch of truth and the compass of integrity. Our Mandate Is Africa, Nigeria, and the Untold Stories of Mama Africa. This platform is dedicated to investigative journalism that matters. From the corridors of power in Abuja to the remote villages of the Niger Delta, from the bustling markets of Lagos to the mineral-rich lands of the North, we will be present, we will ask questions, and we will tell the story as it is. Our focus is unapologetically African, with a special lens on our beloved home country, Nigeria, a nation of boundless potential too often betrayed by those entrusted with her care. As the Igbo elders say, "A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing." When something is amiss, when the powerful conspire against the powerless, when public funds disappear into private pockets, when elections are stolen from the people — someone must run. Someone must shout. Someone must expose. That someone is us - Nze Ikay Media And Communications. On this media outlet, you will find: 1. Deep-dive investigations into corruption, electoral fraud, and institutional failures. 2. Exclusive reports on matters that affect the lives of everyday Nigerians. 3. Unfiltered analysis of the political and social forces shaping Africa, our continent. 4. Stories of resilience, the Nigerians and Africans who refuse to be silenced. Our Commitment: We make this solemn pledge to you, our readers: We will not be bought. We will not be silenced. We will not bow to the pressure of the powerful. As the Yoruba say, "Bi a ba n'pa eku fun eku, a ma n'pa eku fun eku, ti a ba n'pa eran, a ma n'pa eran." meaning, If we are killing rats, we kill rats; if we are killing bigger game, we kill bigger game. We treat all stories with equal diligence, and no one is too powerful to escape our scrutiny. So, Join the Movement. Truth-telling is not a solo journey. We invite you to be part of this mission: Share information (securely and anonymously) if you have stories that need telling. Engage with our content, comment, challenge, and contribute to the discourse. Stand with us as we navigate the dangerous but necessary path of investigative journalism. The road will not be easy. The powerful do not sleep, and they do not take kindly to those who shine light on their deeds. But as our ancestors taught us, "Onye amaghị nwanne ya, ọ ga-arahụ n'ọhịa", meaning, one who does not know their sibling will sleep in the wild. We know who we are. We know whose side we are on. We are on the side of the people. And God is with us. Most importantly, remember that evil prevails when good men sit and do nothing. Welcome to Nze Ikay's Investigative Blog. Where truth is not just told — it is unearthed. Follow us for stories that matter. Share for justice that lasts. https//:www.nzeikayblog.com Nze Ikay Founder/Lead Investigator Nze Ikay Media and Communication Limited © 2026 Nze Ikay Media and Communication Limited.
