Saturday 25th April 2020 Devotion
Scripture:- Acts 2:1-13
Topic:- You Need God’s Power
Text:- Luke 24:49
In my country, Nigeria, Ibo men are looking for money… And they have it. Yoruba men are looking for education… And they have it. Hausa men are looking for power… And they have it. But the Hausa men are controlling both those with money and those with certificates.
A man in power can control a man with money and with degrees. You can hate a man with power. But you are still under him. You can speak grammar more than him. But you are still under him.
Just one decision he will make can affect your source of money. If he gets angry and effects a policy, all your degrees might be useless in your hands.
That is why all Jesus promised His disciples was not money or scholarships. But He said: “And ye shall receive power.” Because He understands that there are powers.
Don’t just pray for promotion in the office Pray for promotion in the school of Power. They can raise your salary, yet, a 9-year old girl with demonic powers can be controlling how you spend the salary.
Your father might have ended the way he did because of powers that fought him. What your family is passing through might be because of inherited powers.
Thank God for your degrees and business ideas. But ma/sir, look for the Power of God. As you go to Church, don’t ask God for money as usual. Cry to God for His Power.
How far could the Apostles have gone in life without the endowment of the Power from on High? Can you see why Jesus told them not to move an inch without the power?
Don’t you think that what you are going through in that business or marriage is because you went in without the power of God?
You need the Power of God. If you are reading this, God might be depending on you to change the condition of your family.
School degrees and business ideas might have failed. Can you cry to God for His power this day? Unless you are not tired of so many negative things playing out around you. If they told you that you have no battles after Calvary, they did not tell you the whole truth.
After being born again, the real battles began. And it won’t stop until we leave this earth.
Jesus has gone to the Cross to purchase our victory. But with that, we must enforce our victory in the place of prayer.
If we fail in the place of prayer, we have failed everywhere. I am in the mood to cry to God this day. Can you spare some minutes or hours to cry to God this day?
If He heard the Apostles, I am sure that today, He can also fall upon us by His power. If you are ready. Then, let us pray for God’s power.
Prayer Point:- Oh Lord God, I need Your power, fall mightily upon me henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Blessed Saturday!
