Rhapsody of Realities 6 June 2025 – MESSAGE
As Christians, when we say Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives, it means more than He being our saviour. The Hebrew and Greek words for “Lord” carry the same meaning, which includes master, caretaker, bread provider, sustainer, boss, and teacher. This is the essence of what it means for Jesus to be Lord; it means He’s your sustainer, your master, your caretaker, your bread provider, and your teacher.
If this is true, and thank God it is, then it means He’s more than capable of taking care of you. You don’t have to beg Him to take care of you or plead with Him to provide your needs with a sense of desperation as if He’s reluctant to do so. Such a disposition reflects a lack of understanding of who Jesus is as your Lord and Sustainer.
Read His words in Matthew 7:11, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” Ponder this for a moment. You have to learn to trust the Lord and rely solely on His Word. Act on His Word. The world’s systems are failing.
In the days of Joseph, the Bible records that money failed. Inflation was rampant and the currency became worthless. But in the midst of that crisis, God’s people experienced supernatural prosperity. Why? Their trust was in the Lord, their sustainer.
The Lord Jesus is more than able to sustain you through every season of life. Read Matthew 6:25-34 where He stresses your value and then tells you what to do and what not to do. So, act on His Word today. The triumphant life is for those who act on God’s Word.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for being my Lord and Sustainer. I refuse to be anxious about anything because you are my caretaker, provider, teacher, source and sustainer. My trust is in you, and I function in supernatural prosperity as I live by your Word, in victory every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Genesis 47:15
New International Version
15 When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all Egypt came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is all gone.”
Psalm 37:25
New International Version
25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
Matthew 6:25-34
New International Version
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
