HOW MY DESPERATE DESIRE FOR POWER WAS IGNITED
THE POWER OF GOD IS NOT A LUXURY, IT’S A VITAL NECESSITY IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD OF GOD. IT IS NO LUXURY TO HAVE POWER, IT IS NECESSARY
POWER OF GOD DOES NOT BELONG TO SOME SUPER SPIRITUAL PEOPLE, THE POWER OF GOD BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD
IF THE POWER MUST WORK IN YOUR life, YOU MUST BE DESPERATELY DESIROUS OF THAT POWER
MEN AND WOMEN OF PRAYER ARE MEN AND WOMEN OF POWER
PRAYERLESSNESS IS A FOUNDATION FOR POWERLESSNESS
– Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche on “THE WAY OF GOD’S POWER 2” || Pre-Convention Service – First Service || Glory Dome, Abuja.
In the name of Jesus, the pay of serving Him, you will not miss it in Jesus’ precious name. Hallelujah. I welcome everyone here to this service this morning in Jesus’ precious name. We had a most exciting and interesting service by Wednesday when we looked at “the way of God’s Power”.
It was so explosive, we could literally not finish the message, lives were touched. So we are continuing on that subject, “The Way of God’s Power 2“.
Psalm 63:1-2.
– lift your hands and say, “Father, I will see Your Power and I will see your Glory”.
– say again, “oh Lord, I receive help to do Your will, to live for You, I receive help to fulfill Your purpose today, in the name of Jesus, I receive that help now”
– say, “Father, I receive Your power to manifest in my generation in Jesus’ name.
I want to start by saying that the Power of God is not a luxury, it’s a vital necessity in the life of a Child of God.
It is no luxury to have Power, it is necessary to have Power. When that man was kidnapped, it wasn’t kidnapped for the power of God to be available at that time, it was a vital necessity. This man, Catholic man, whose wife was diagnosed with cervical or uterine cancer, Power was necessary for that woman to come out.
Second thing I like you to note is that the Power of God does not belong to some super spiritual people, the Power of God belongs to the People of God. Acts 1:8.
What is the way of Power?
1. Being born again
2. Flowing in the Holy Spirit
3. Flowing in worship and praise
4. Seeking God early
We look at all of that (on Wednesday), we may not be able to look at all of that today. I’m going to go to three or four others this morning.
5. Desperate desire for God’s Power. If the Power must work in your life, you must be desperately desirous of that Power. Psalm 63:1-2. It’s a desperate desire.
If we must see Power, there must be a desperate longing and desperate yearning. Philippians 3:10. What does it mean? The desperate desire for God’s Power means;
a. The refusal to exist in powerlessness. I refuse to exist powerless, I refuse to face situations that I am powerless against, I refuse for people around to be confronted by the devil and I am powerless against it. The refusal to exist in powerlessness.
b. The decision to have and be all that God has in store for our lives. I don’t want to be anything less than what God has in mind for my life. Church Gist. I don’t want to die short of what I am meant to be in this life, everything God has in store for me, every power and deposit God has in store for me, I want to have everything. It’s that decision. That decision causes you to place a demand on God.
Many years ago in my own life as a Pastor, I made up my mind that I was not going to just exist or dwell in a realm where people around me are in problem and I am helpless. It took me into many fastings and prayers. I made up my mind, “I won’t be around and God is looking for who to send” – that desperate desire, it positions you for Power.
6. The Lifestyle of Prayer. Genesis 32:24-28. We break into the realm of Power by prayer. Acts 4:31-33. Luke 3:21-22. James 5:16-18. People of Prayer are people of Power. Men and women of prayer are men and women of Power. The hour of prayer is the hour of Power. Church Gist. Acts 3:1. If you know prayer, you know Power, no prayer equals no Power. If you know prayer, if you understand prayer, you’ll understand Power but where there’s no prayer, there’ll be no power. So, prayerlessness is a foundation for powerlessness. Beloved brothers and sisters, if you want to shift up in Power, shift up in Prayer.
