THE POWER OF GOD - “ All Power belongs to God“
SUNDAY SERMON: October 14, 2018.
Bible Reading: Psalm 66:1-8. Text: Mark 5: 25-34.
CASE STUDY: -The woman with the issue of blood for 12years
Power in Greek means dunamis(dynamite). Power is the authority that one holds over another person or a group of people. Power is an inherent characteristic of God that cannot be compared to any other power. Truly, there are other powers but there is a power greater than every other powers which is the power of GOD ALMIGHTY manifested in Mark 5:25-34, Act 3:1-11.
In the School of life, people go through challenges, tribulations, afflictions, reproaches e.t.c but most times they go for solutions in wrong places, which will eventually make the problem worse or even sometimes, it could lead to death.
The case of the woman with the issue of blood revealed that she suffered for 12years from unstoppable flow of blood. She went to many places looking for solution, with all the stress involved but it was merely a waste of money. Thank God, she heard about JESUS; the Son of God. With faith, she went to have a contact with Jesus with only one thing in her heart. Considering the multitude around Jesus, she said to herself “if only she can just touch the garment of Jesus, she will be healed“. With her thought and faith in her heart, she was made whole by the mercy and grace of God. As the woman with the issue of blood touched the garment of Jesus, the power of God located the very root of her problem and healed her permanently.
(Acts 2: 1-11) - The power that descended on the day of Pentecost like a cloven tongue gives authority to our tongues to decree a thing and it is established. The power of God is in JESUS Christ. He also has power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
What do you have in your heart as solution to your problem? Our hearts determine our decisions and steps to breakthrough or breakdown in the journey of life.
TO BE A PARTAKER OF THIS POWER OF GOD:
[1] We need to yield and realease ourselves to God (John1:12, John 3:3).
[2] Live a holy life because power comes with holiness (Hebrew 1:9, Ps.45:7). [3] Power can come through obedience (Isaiah 1:19, Luke 24:49,Acts 2:1-11).
[4] Power comes through Praises and Prayers (Acts 16:25 -26).
[5] Power comes through Kingdom Service. (Luke 9:1-2, Mk6:7 ).
WHY DOES GOD GIVES US HIS POWER?
[1] God gives power to those who want to witness for him (Acts 1:8).
[2] God gives power for his signs and wonders (Acts 16:15-18).
[3] God gives us power to do exploits (Acts 10:38. Daniel 11:32b).
WAYS TO TAP FROM THE POWER OF GOD:
[1] The experience of Power of the Holy Ghost like the day of Pentecost is still available today (Acts 2:1-11).
[2] Laying of hands by genuine men of God ( Deuteronomy 34:9).
[3] Through the word of God released by the spirit of God to us (Luke 5:17).
[4] Through the proclamation of the name of Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:8-11, Acts 3:1-7).
[5] Through the blood of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:11, Hebrew 12:24).
[6] Anointed materials or objects (Acts19:11-12, Exodus 4:1-5).
[7] Power of testimonies. (Revelation 12:11, 1 Sam. 17:34-37).
I pray that the grace and the mercy of God will locate you to make you partaker of the power of the Almighty God from this season in Jesus name.
