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

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
