The Power

By
Acts 1-8(1)

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Christians are so powerful, not in ourselves but in the Spirit that lives in us. “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” Phil.3:10. Paul wrote the Book of Romans and Paul said that Spirit [the Resurrection Power] lives in you. This same Paul is saying, that I may know him and the power of his resurrection. This suggests that it is something you can grow and mature into. It is something that you can acquire as it were. While it is in you, it has to be deployed.

Imagine a power cable that is covered with rubber on the outside. No matter how potent the power is, because the cable is insulated, I can play with it and the power would deliver nothing. Right? But can I try to hold it when the same cable is naked? I cannot, except I want to do the electric slide. For many of us, The Power is locked up and insulated inside of us. We have to desire for it to be unleashed. That same power that raised up Jesus lives in you. If you are going to meditate throughout this week, just meditate on this; that same power that raised up Jesus lives in you. It is not half of the power. It is not a little bit of the power. It is not some of the power but that same power lives in you.

The first thing I experience is that The Resurrection Power gives me power to live. If that same Spirit lives in me, that same Spirit will empower me to live. And in living, I am going to encounter all sorts of opposition; but Jesus says, I give you power to tread upon serpent and tread upon scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. That is power to live. It is the power to go to the village and not be afraid of witches. Some of you cannot relate to the village thing. That is ok but for some people their village is filled with all sorts of people who do not want to progress and do not want any other person to progress either. But God is saying I give you power…

You should not be afraid because greater is He that is in you. The indwelling Power is potent in itself. Yes those people are possessed but you are possessed too by a Higher Spirit. So why should you run from lesser spirits? I hope it makes sense.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, please unleash The Power that God has deposited in me and let every insulator be permanently removed, in Jesus Name

A Partaker Of Other People's Sins? - Pastor E.A Adeboye

By
Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

Dominion Mandate Daily Devotional Thursday,March 3

By
THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...
