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 turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
