POWER

"God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God." - Psalms  62:11

Power is essentially the ability to coerce, influence, affect or control a jurisdiction. It could also be used to describe the people in charge of legal or political power, the government. Power is also effectiveness, physical force or strength.

There is what we can refer to as the Power of men, a class which would include Connection Power (meaning the power to have connects with people that matter in the society, many who have this power use it to situate themselves or loved ones in preferred positions), Ability Power, (power to make things happen), Reasoning Power (which includes the ability to read and understand and even forging further to write books for others themselves) and Magical Powers (which involves conjuring the powers of darkness to work and deceive many in an aim to entertain them).

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." - Luke  10:19. The enemy, our continual adversary, the devil also has some form of power which is entirely based upon his ability to deceive the people of GOD. Herein is the need why we always encourage a proper study and meditation of the word of GOD as that alone gives you proper knowledge of the power you have in GOD and you are then able to use it against the deceit of the devil, but if you don't know, you remain powerless.

The Holy Spirit is the energizer of the power of GOD in us. You can never operate the power of GOD if you don't know who you are or your identity in JESUS CHRIST.

One would immediately ask, how then do I stop loosing out on that which the Lord had made available for me. First things first is to be known by GOD, a feat which comes to pass only by you accepting the Lord JESUS as your Lord and saviour. Next you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Go on to have a sound grounded knowledge of the word of GOD (Matt. 22:29).

Know who you are in Christ. Know that you are perfect in Christ (1Cor. 2:6), that you are a risen being and you are seated with Christ in heavenly places (Eph. 2:6-7), that you are a child loaded with Grace (Rom. 12:3), you are a child of GOD (Rom. 8:16), you are an heir of GOD and a joint heir with JESUS CHRIST (Rom. 8:17).

Pride and secret sins are a powerful hindrance to the operations of the power of GOD in a believer's life. Identify them early and stay away from it

GOD BLESS YOU.
