Power In The Word



For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 Corinthians 1:17.

We are to preach and teach the gospel, not just with fair speeches of man's wisdom. But by the help of the Holy Spirit, lest the message become void of power. 
This is happening in many places today, people exact more energy on their eloquence, reasoning, intellectual prowess etc., all these have their place. But without the Spirit of God at work in you, and giving you utterance, it is all just motivational speaking, with no lasting solution and impact in the life of anyone, 1 Corinthians 2:6.

The Word of God contains the power that breaks yokes, and it lifts heavy burden from the destiny of men, so that children of God can manifest here on earth. 
Verse 18 says, 
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish(unsaved) foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 
But God reveal His power to us by His Spirit, 1 Corinthians 2:10. "For the kingdom of God is not in Word, but in power." 1 Corinthians 4:20.

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...
