Message
Just before our Lord Jesus Christ left His
disciples, they asked Him about the kingdom of God (Acts 1:6). That kingdom was
established on this earth on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost came, and
the Holy Ghost has been with us ever since. Those who want to be rulers in the
kingdom of God must be baptized in the Holy Ghost. This is the only condition
for the demonstration of God’s power on earth. The kingdom of God is the
kingdom of power. Only those who have power can rule in the kingdom of God. The
power we are talking about here refers to the spiritual power which comes only
from the Holy Spirit. As soon as you are born-again, you have access to the
kingdom of God (John 3:3). However, it is one thin
g to have access to the kingdom and another thing to be a partaker of it. Anybody who has Christ has no excuse for being powerless, because Jesus Christ is the power of God. As a ruler in the kingdom of God, you must demonstrate power wherever you go. Paul demonstrated this power wherever he ministered the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 2:4 he said:
g to have access to the kingdom and another thing to be a partaker of it. Anybody who has Christ has no excuse for being powerless, because Jesus Christ is the power of God. As a ruler in the kingdom of God, you must demonstrate power wherever you go. Paul demonstrated this power wherever he ministered the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 2:4 he said:
“And
my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power:”
There is power anywhere the gospel of Jesus Christ
is being preached. It is only the power of God that can bring about a positive
transformation in the life of an individual. No power of government can
transform. People are thrown into prison in order to reform their character,
but in most cases, they return from prison worse off. Those who are born-again
know that there is something awesome about the salvation experience that cannot
be explained. When Jesus Christ comes into your life, He makes you a new
creature. There is no civilian in the kingdom of God. Anyone truly in the
kingdom is a soldier, and wherever you go, you are expected to preach the
gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons.
You need the power to be a carrier of God’s glory. You need the power of the
Holy Spirit to perform signs and wonders. Our God is a God of signs and wonders
and He has assured us that He would supply all the resources we need to perform
these signs and wonders, according to Mark 16:15-20. As soon as Jesus gave the
orders, the disciples went from place to place. The Lord went with them, and
miracles happened. God is no respecter of persons: what He has done for others
and through others, He will do for you and through you. If you are not yet
born-again, you cannot experience this power, neither can you partake of it. It
is for the sons of God (John 1:12).
Prayer
point
Father, what You have done in demonstrating your
power through others, do through me also.
"A Message from "faithdrivetoeternityblog"
"The Lord has promised us that as a child of God once you believe in Him, He will give us power to cast out devil and also to speak in new tongues.( mark 16 v17). The power of God comes from holy -spirit. A powerless christian is a prey in the hand of the enemy. You must thirst for the power of God .For you to operate successfully as a child of God , you should be able to command signs and wonders. The unbelievers will not believe in your God if they dont see signs and wonders (John 4v48) .. ".
Prayer-: Holy spirit i need your power..
