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!

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...

MY PAST HUNTS ME! HOW DO I DEAL WITH IT NOW THAT AM IN CHRIST?

  DRAW A LINE BETWEEN YOUR PAST AND YOUR FUTURE ! Many people come to Christ daily but battle with the memories of their past life which probably was rough, painful or traumatic. I have seen many people who struggled to live their new found faith in Christ just because a terrible past life comes hunting: I have seen some who got delivered from occult involvements, terrible abuses, sexual lifestyles and other dehumanizing struggles battling to live the Christian life because of the height of what they had been through. For some of them even when God has forgiven their sins, they find it hard to forgive themselves. So the devil takes advantage of the struggle, self condemnation or guilt to hinder their growth in the things of the spirit. But the Bible teaches that, he that is in Christ is a new creation, old things are past away and behold all things are new. No matter what a person has done, as long as the person has not grieved the Holy Spirit, he can be saved. So the...
