MAKING A DEMAND ON DIVINE POWER

He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow RIVERS OF LIVING WATER. (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive… – John 7:38-39a

If you’ve received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and the Holy Spirit’s indwelling Presence, you are definitely not powerless! When the Holy Spirit comes upon and into your life, God’s power begins to reside in you, irrespective of how you may be feeling. Your feelings or emotions do not determine whether God’s power is present or not.

The power of God is His divine, spiritual energy. We may therefore use the analogy of natural power such as electrical power, to understand the dynamics of divine power. It does not take feelings to know whether electrical power is running in a house or not. What is demanded for a current to flow is simply to connect an appliance or a device to electricity through a power socket or switch. A house with electricity and one without electricity may look and feel alike until a demand is made on power by connecting an appliance. Once it is present, power will flow, when a demand is made on it.

The power of God in the believer is activated, ignited and released for performance, by making a demand on it. You may not be able to tell by how you feel or look whether God’s power is in you, but as soon as a demand is made on that power as, you will see an outflow of God’s power. Preaching the Gospel is the primary avenue to trigger the current of God’s Power. In the natural, the number of devices that can draw from a power source depends on its capacity. When it comes to God unlimited Power however, there is absolutely no limit to the number of lives and persons that can be touched by His power that is working in and through you.

Beloved, it is time to ignite the power of God in you to flow out and bless your world, starting from your Jerusalem. There are diverse needs in the lives of hundreds and thousands of people within your circle of influence. Jesus has given the assurance that if you believe in Him, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water (Jh.7:37-39). Begin to place a demand on God’s power in you as by reaching out with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and you will see great wonders wrought through you in His Name.
