PRAISE & WORSHIP

MESSAGE FOR 23 JAN:

The events that characterise our world today have clearly shown that the whole world is in desperate need of the power of God to rescue it from the constant assaults of evil the enemy is hauling on mankind. These include: ravaging pestilences and plagues, including COVID-19 and other diseases, terrorism and insurgency, increase in occult practices and ritual killing, food shortage, hunger and extreme poverty, inter-tribal wars, and so on.

It is disheartening to note that believers and the Church of God, who the world look up to, are also endangered and caught in the web of these crises. Why is this so? It is because of powerlessness.

In Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, t shall not hurt them: they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

He meant that believers are called to demonstrate the power of the living God over the devil, his demons and all their destructive work. Anything short of this will make the believer fall short of God’s expectations. I strongly advise you to get rid of agents of powerlessness in your life: personal and corporate sin, unbelief, doubt and divine judgement, among others.

A powerless Moses wouldn’t have been able to confront Pharaoh, subdue the powers of Egypt and bring the matchless power of God to bear in burying Pharaoh, his soldiers and chariots in the Red Sea. He wouldn’t have succeeded in ending the 430 years of slavery, not to talk of leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Without God’s power in the life of Elijah, he wouldn’t have succeeded in challenging and defeating the prophets of Baal nor turn the hearts of Israel back to God.

A powerless, lukewarm, or cold believer or church cannot achieve a global harvest of souls for Christ in these last days. One of the responsibilities attached to our calling as believers is to demonstrate the love of God and the power of His gospel to mankind. How well are you discharging these responsibilities?

Beloved, for the Church to transmit God’s power to this powerless world, you and I must be ready to be spiritual power generators and conductors. We must be filled with the Holy Ghost and Fire
