The same power resides in you...

 Acts 10:38

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

All the miracles that Jesus performed, He was able to, as a result that God was with Him. The Holy Spirit lived in Him and powered Him to do the amazing things. this is the same Holy Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead after 3 days of crucifixtion! That was powerful. This verse tells us that the same power is the one that enabled Jesus to heal the sick, do good and bring relief to the oppressed and illtreated. Remember when Jesus was given 5 loaves and 2 fish to feed the multitudes, Jesus didn't doubt that it was possible to feed them from such little food, but He believed the power of God could do exceedingly and above all that we can think and imagine. He broke the bread and look to God to do only that which He can do. And that's exactly what happened. More than 5000 people were fed and there  were left overs. Amazing!

One of the things we can learn from Jesus, is the faith that He has. He strongly believed (without any doubt) that His Father was at work in Him, that He can achieve ALL things, through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is evident with the confidence that He displayed. For example, He cursed a fig tree and went on about with His business, without going back to check if what He said about it actually materialized or not. When He spoke it, He knew it shall be. That's the kind of faith God wants us to have! To believe that He is with us and for us, that through the Holy Spirit, we are powerful. That we can achieve anything that He has sent us to do. Without second-guessing Him. By knowing and accepting that we can not in our own strength do it, but by the power of the Holy Spirit that lives in us, we can move mountains. 

I'm calling on you today, to take a moment and realize that God can do anything through you, only if you allow Him and believe in Him. Surrender your life, thoughts, beliefs, doubts and fears to Him, and agree to give Him full control of your life. That He may achieve His plans through you. I believe and declare, you'll be able to heal the sick, and perform miracles, all for His glory.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbul...

We have peace bacause of what Christ has done for us...

 Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Peace is everything to me, when there's something not right in my spirit, I become uncomfortable, unsettled and unhappy. Which is why it is so pleasing to hear that we have been made right with God by faith, by an act of Jesus obeying and seeing it through for Him to be crucified like that, has made us righteous with God and He is pleased with us. This verse tells us that we have peace with God, what a relief this is! No longer do we have to worry about the mistakes we made and the shame they brought us, but because Jesus' blood cleansed us completely, we can have peace in our hearts and just enjoy our relationship with our Father. Isaiah 44:22 says " I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isn't thi...

Don't conform to the world standards...

Image
 Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. As the body of Christ, we are meant not to conform to the standards, norms and behaviours of this world, which could lead us straight to the path of unrighteousness. But we are meant to follow the example set by Christ, as our great Shepherd. By so doing, we are meant to lead others to Christ by our behaviours and the way we live life. Jesus as our example, has set for us the standard of living, which  is totally different from the world. For example, the world says be selfish and look out for yourself and don't share with others to preserve your resources. But Christ's way is the very opposite, one of being selfless, being considerate of others and being generous.  This bible verse tells us that when we allow the Lord to transform us, in the way we...
