Power through the Spirit

POWER THROUGH THE SPIRIT.

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 Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8).

Some Christians assume and believe that prayer produces power. So, they say, “a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian,” but that’s not stated anywhere in the Bible.

Notice our theme scripture; Jesus didn’t say you’ll receive power after you’ve prayed. I believe in prayer, but prayer doesn’t bring power. Power comes from the Holy Ghost.

Power is the dynamic ability to cause changes. That means we can effect changes in our lives and that of our loved ones, and even in places where we desire to see changes. We’re not supposed to be victims in the earth, but many Christians live as victims; they’re captives of adverse circumstances. But Jesus said you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. Jesus was never a victim, yet many of God’s children have been victims in one way or the other.

1 John 3:2 says, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” When you were born again, you were born as an offspring of God; through the Holy Spirit, you have power. No need to ask Him for power, for the power is already resident in you. All you need to do for the power of God in you to be manifested is to stir it up (2 Timothy 1:6). Glory to God!

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the power at work in me, through the Holy Spirit. Nothing is impossible for me, because as I activate the power in me, I bring calmness and order to every situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Calming Stormy Seas

CALMING STORMY SEAS
TEXT: MARK 4:39).

BIBLE TEXT:
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm(Mark 4:39).

Tempest or storm stands for heart-breaking and life threatening problem situations. It could be illness, financial and material hardships, temptations or persecutions. When there is an experienced sailor or captain in a ship, the passengers and crew members are at peace. The presence of the Master of all situations in the ship of the disciples changed their stormy situation from calamity to calmness. All you need do is to call on Him. Melancthon said, Troubles and perplexity drive us to prayer, and prayer driveth away troubles and perplexity. 

What are the stormy situations in your life? Let the Master of the oceans and seas, Jesus Christ, come into your life. He is the one that can bring calmness. He is the one that can turn your sorrow into joy. His presence is indispensable in your life if you want to overcome the stormy seas of life. Lazarus sad funeral ceremonies turned into joyful celebration because Mary and Martha had sent for Jesus. Call on Jesus and He will calm your fears.

Challenge: Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.
Prayer: I command calmness to every storm in my life in Jesus name!
Quote: Call on Jesus and He will calm your fears

There is power in relationship with God and Man

THERE IS POWER IN RELATIONSHIP

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5

If only we are able to perceive the ability and strength in relationship and not permit the enemy divide our strength and make us dissipate our energy and fireworks, we are going to go terribly far in life. See your life as a life that God needs to use to place smile on somebody’s face. return to church not with the outlook of what am i able to get, but to join forces with God to meet his purpose. the reality is that after you begin to measure that approach, there's no level of blessing that you just cannot attain because God will definitely make sure that you're blessed in each area of your life.

When we mention what you'll offer, it's not solely regarding cash. It may well be a smile, a handshake, a pat on the back or a compliment. “You look very nice wearing this dress of yours. You look stunning.

Relationship is the whole essence of Christianity. He gave some Apostles, some Evangelists, some Prophets, some Pastors, some lecturers, for the maturing of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the enlightening of the body of Christ until we have a tendency to all come back to the unity of religion and therefore the information of the Son of God, unto an ideal man and of the stature of the fullness of Christ. That we have a tendency to hence forth be no longer like  a lot of kids fighting over akara or seat, who is promoted or not, who is complimented or not. who is sitting within the front seat or not. lots of kids, tossed to and fro by each wind of doctrine…. however speaking the reality in love.
