RECEIVE POWER II

Scriptural Highlight: (Acts 1:8)- "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit is come on you, and you will be my witnesses."
 From our scriptural highlight for today, we read "but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit is come on you, and you will be my witnesses." In other words, you don't have the power to "be" unless you have the Holy Spirit. But, in our world today, we see lots of people trying to "be" things for God without the Holy Spirit. Many claim to represent God but God's requirement is lacking. I have been in situations where people who came to share the gospel ended up grieving my spirit though am a Christian too. What was been said lacked power and fervor of the Holy Spirit. If this can happen to me, what about the unbelievers who need the message to be saved. What an error to talk about a mighty God without His presence and power! Before the out pour of the Holy Spirit, it amazed me that before Jesus sent out his disciples two by two for outreach, He had to empower them. Beloved, don't run off in haste to do things for God in the flesh, it will fail. The word of God is clear that no man shall prevail by his strength. Paul said "In the last days that men will have a form godliness but denying the power" (2Timothy3:5). Seek God and his enabling power for the assignment over your life. In the days of His power, the people shall be willing, (Psalm 102:3). Go and Flourish!

No Man, No Rain

Scriptural Highlight : ( Genesis 2:5 )- "There was no plants or grain sprouting up across the earth at first, for the Lord God hadn't sent any rain; nor was there anyone to farm the soil." In our scriptural highlight for today, the Bible is describing the generations of heaven and the earth - that is, the creation process. At that time there was no plants or grain sprouting up across the earth because the Lord God hadn't sent any rain. There was no man to farm the soil yet. Note well that God is orderly in His dealings. He made the world in such a way that one thing depended on another. He followed a certain order. Plants couldn't just grow  unless their was rain. So at the time under question why did God restrain the rain? Why was there no rain? Because if it rains, plants will definitely grow.Let's take note that plants are good things for the earth; plants are parts of the things needed to support life on the earth. Plants represents the bles...

Heavy Weight In The Making

When am building strength, I don't see the strength. But when am done building strength I start seeing strength. Today's heavy weights were yesterday's lighter weights. They just kept building their strength. Every professional was an amateur. Ever seen people braking strong large rocks. They keep hitting over and over: one, ten, twenty, on an on, until a final strike shatters the rock to pieces. It was not just that one final blow that did the magic; every single blow was part of the shattering work. But the blows just had to keep hitting the rock for the final effect to come by. What a life lesson. Work is simply forfeiting today's ease for bigger, better and more rewarding comfort tomorrow. But don't work hard, work smart. Working Hard

Make Alliance With Righteous Causes

Scriptural Highlight: ( 2Kings 9:17 ) - "Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, 'I see a company.' And Joram said, 'Take a horseman and send to meet them and let them say, 'is it well'. So a man on horseback went to meet them and said, 'Thus says the king, 'is it peace?' And Jehu answered, 'what do you have to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me." Our scriptural highlight for today showcases a scene of battle between righteousness and evil. Joram king of Israel belonged to the family of Ahab and Jezebel, people that have troubled Israel with their sorcery, covetousness and blood spills. And a word of prophecy from Elijah had gone out against this evil house saying, "Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child...(1Kings 21:21). So, in effect, God located Jehu and anointed him to fight...
