HOLY SPIRIT: THE POWER FOR SUCCESS

TEXT: Zech. 4:6
...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

MESSAGE
Let us face reality, world is a horrid place creeping with devil's that are bent on frustrating men. The Bible says the days are evil. Since the day that Adam and Eve sold their birthright to the devil by sinning against God, they put the devil in charge of the world. That turn has not cease from making life a misery for the children of men. He steals kills and destroys daily. Good news! For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. He came to give life to men who have all the while been subject to death. This He does by giving us His Holy Spirit by whom he comes to dwell in us

When the Spirit of the Lord is in you, the the Lord is in you. Thus no matter the opposition, no matter the devil that arises, no matter how strong or how many they are, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1Jn 4:4). You have overcome barrenness, sickness, death, poverty, sorrow and whatever oppresses the people in the word. You have overcome your sins and habits. You can now live a free a free life. Just decide to, and the power is available. Accomplishing great feats as a child of God is by the Spirit of Christ.

When the Spirit of God came upon the timid apostles of Christ, they became unstoppable. Their detractors testified that they "turned the world upside down"  (Acts 17:6). He will cause you to walk in Victory every day of the year. Because He is the Spirit of Grace, grace will manifest in all you do. Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord

PRAYER
1. Thank God for sending His Spirit to us in the Name of Jesus
2.
Repent of every time you tried to achieve anything in the flesh and ask God for mercy and forgiveness
3.
Ask God to baptize us afresh with the Holy Ghost and power
4.
Ask the Holy Ghost to go ahead of you into the year and make every crooked path straight

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
