Rhapsody of Realities for 6 May 2026 — The Power Is Within You

TODAY'S RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

TOPIC: The Power Is Within You

SCRIPTURE: "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)."

What a profound Scripture we just read! So, the question is, "Who lives in you?" Is it the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead? If yes, then your physical body is no longer death-doomed or death-prone; rather, it’s been invigorated and made alive by the Holy Spirit. The power that made this happen isn’t residing in heaven but within you.

When you read Ephesians 1:19, it talks about the exceeding greatness of this mighty power. Then Ephesians 3:20 lets us know also that this power works within you: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”

Many people describe experiences where they felt the power of God come upon them like a jacket. The feeling can make it seem like something landed from outside. But if something were truly coming from above and you didn’t see it, you wouldn’t know it came from above until you felt it. And the only reason you assumed it came from above was because you couldn’t explain it physically, yet you felt something on you.

But the reality is deeper than the feeling. The power of God is within you and works from within you, not from outside. Everything in the New Testament reveals that we’re different from those in the Old Testament. We don’t receive power from outside us as they did. We’re filled with the Spirit.

That’s why the New Testament reality is not to cry for power to come down but to live with the consciousness that the Spirit lives within you in all His power, glory and might. When you understand this, it transforms your confidence; your prayer life changes because you realise that you’re the carrier of divine power. Live from this standpoint, and you’ll manifest the supernatural consistently and effortlessly.

PRAISEJAMZBLOG INSIGHT

Today’s devotional shifts our focus from seeking power externally to recognizing and activating the divine power already within us. As believers, we are not empty vessels waiting to be filled again and again—we are carriers of God’s Spirit in His fullness. When we truly understand that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, it changes how we think, speak, and act. Instead of praying from a place of lack, we begin to live from a place of abundance, expressing faith, confidence, and authority in every situation. This consciousness empowers us to walk boldly, knowing that we already have everything we need to live victoriously and manifest God’s glory daily.

PRAYER/CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me. I walk in the consciousness of His divine power that’s effectual in my spirit, soul and body. Being full of His might, I manifest the glory and perfections of Christ as I preach the Gospel with boldness and confidence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 3:16: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

2 Corinthians 4:7: But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
