Kingdom Power

1Co 4:20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

The Kingdom of God is not about talk, it is about power. And when we speak about power, it is something tangible. It is not imaginary. Talk is imaginary. But the Kingdom of God is about power. That is why the Apostle Paul says, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. This means that whatever we have learned from the Bible should translate to something practical, something tangible, something that we can do, something that we can put to action. And that's what power is, it is a driving force for action. Like the power of a car that comes from the gasoline that burns in its engine. That's where the car derives its power.

Christ is our power! He gives us strength to do all things. And so if it has been a long time already since we became Christians and we are still sickly, we are still in poverty, and we are still experiencing a lot of problems, and we are almost always depressed because of them, it means we haven't really made use of that power. We should not be content of a defeated life. God has not translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son for nothing? There must be tangible results for our being a Christian!

We'll, chances are, we don't really have enough of the word of God in us to derive power from. That is why we don't really live the victorious life that the Bible talks about. In the end, God is not glorified. And so I challenge you today to make that step of faith and start changing things in your life. By the power of His word, what ever problem you got out there, solve them in Jesus name! You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. God bless you!

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Treasure Nuggets

(Gen 2:17)  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." This goes to show that God never intended man to die. Man was meant for eternity with God. It was when Adam ate of that fruit that death entered in and reigned. (Rom 5:20)  Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, Where to find grace? It is in the very area of your shortcoming. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more! Paul rejoices in his weaknesses for God says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2Co 12:9). "   Paul declares, "For when I am weak, then I am strong!" Receive the grace of God where you have fallen, for it is there that grace abounds all the more! (Joh 15:3)  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. The word of God is powerful. Let it dwell in you richly. It is through th...

Ask In Faith

Jas 1:5-8 (5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (6) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (7) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. (8) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. God is a giver. That is His nature. God is willing to give more than we are wanting to have. Verse 5 in the NIV reads: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." God does not find fault. He will not examine whether there is something wrong with you. He will not count it against you even if you blew it. He just wants to give. Only that we ask in faith. Not doubting. Because if we ask full of faith, the excercise of that wisdom will also be full of faith. The excercise of that wisdo...
