Against All Odds | By Pastor Chris Eluwa | 10.05.2026
In this message, Pastor Chris Eluwa walks us through a powerful chapter in the Bible, Mark 5, to show us a timeless truth: No matter how long the odds have been stacked against you, one encounter with Jesus can change everything.
From the man possessed in the tombs, to the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years, to Jairus facing the death of his daughter, each story reveals a different side of life where hope seemed gone. Yet in every case, faith rewrote the outcome.
This message will help you see:
✨ Why every “side” of your life — even the one you hide — qualifies for God’s intervention (Mark 5:1,21)
✨ How the woman’s silent confession — “If I may but touch…” — shows the power of believing before seeing (Mark 5:28,34)
✨ What Jesus meant when He told Jairus: “Do not fear, only believe” (Mark 5:36)
✨ The spiritual principle: What you believe in your heart will shape what you speak — and what you speak will reposition what you see (Romans 10:9–10; 2 Corinthians 4:13
✨ You’ll discover that faith is not denial of reality, but alignment with God’s reality in the face of contrary evidence.
✨ Understanding that delays, interruptions, and long-standing problems are not disqualifiers for God

“Against all odds, what God has said about you is still true.”
If you are in a season where:
• One area of life is working and another is painfully broken…
• You feel like your miracle has been delayed by interruptions…
• You are tired of bad reports and negative cycles…
This message will reposition your faith.
Because sometimes, the miracle begins when you stop talking about the problem…
and start speaking what you believe.
We believe this message will bless you and so encourage you not to keep it to yourself. Please share it with your friends and family to be blessed too.
