1 Corinthians 4:20(NIV)
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
It has being confirmed that the Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of Power. As believers and especially for those who have ministerial callings, walking in Divine Power is mandatory. It is impossible to triumph in life and ministry without it because the only language the devil understands is that of power. Without power, Christianity will be a mere religion. It is written in Psalms 66:3 “How awe-inspiring are your deeds, O God! How great your power! No wonder your enemies surrender!” When God’s Power begins to flow through us, it goes far beyond us. It causes the enemy to surrender. It is for other people, that is the needy, the sick, the impoverished, those in captivity and everyone who needs a miracle from God.
One of the things that makes the extraordinary Christian different from the ordinary is the encounter he/she had with the all-powerful God. By encountering God, we acquire Power through Holy Ghost. Power is not only for preachers but for every child of God and its authentic source is the Holy Spirit. With power, we become enviable personalities and to fulfill destiny, we need to be empowered. We need Divine Power to actualize Divine plan and purpose for our lives. Without power, men will degrade the Gospel. Powerlessness will make the enemy ridicule a believer. We cannot live a successful and mountain top life or produce signs and wonders without the Power of the Holy Spirit. It took God’s Power for Pharaoh to submit and let go of the Israelites. Darkness has no respect for title, education or background; only the power of God. It’s not about being eloquent, our eloquence must be backed up with God’s Power to be effective in the lives of His people. As children of God, we need power to subdue the forces of darkness. When we operate in power, demons will see us and not like to come close to us. We need power and fire to overcome challenges of life. The enemy will always want to stand in the way of Divine plan, that is why we must grow in Divine Power. If we lose power, we lose influence and destiny. Many give time to pursue education, career, business, marriage, money and parenting. All these are good but when we ignore the need to acquire God’s Power to help our lives and destinies, the enemy will steal, kill and destroy all those things easily even when we are fortunate to acquire them.
Beloved, God has given power to His children to enable them to flow in His great power at the fullness of time. Power from on High is always available to the children of God and that power has to be demonstrated in your life. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. God has filled you with power through the Holy Spirit. It is time for the Body of Christ to wake up and start walking and moving in the Power of the Holy Ghost. Desire to walk in power, push yourself to acquire Divine Power. It is not possible to be a child of God without power. The people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits. Provoke His Hand by striving to attain adequate power to take command over every issue of life. Today, receive the Power of God to function anywhere you find yourself now in Jesus Mighty Name. Remember, Christianity becomes sweet when you walk in Divine Power.
O Lord, I reject powerlessness and all its consequences, baptize me with Power and Fire now in Jesus’ Name.
