POWER

And declared to be the Son of God with POWER, according to the SPIRIT of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead – Romans 1:4

The realm of the Spirit and of the Supernatural is the Realm of POWER. God demonstrated High-Performance Power in the work of creation. He still upholds “all things by the Word of His Power” (Heb.1:3). Jesus was “declared to be the Son of God with POWER” (Rom.1:4a). Divine Power authenticated His Sonship! The Gospel is the “power of God unto salvation” (Rom.1:16). God displayed His Power all through Scriptures either directly or indirectly through angelic and human vessels. God created humankind with an intrinsic Power for Performance. This status was however deleted and depleted at the Fall, creating a perpetual Thirst and Quest for Power. This has led many into needless adventures into evil. Human beings have a desire to experience power, in one form or the other. Most people need to know or at least feel that at some point in life, they have some measure of power over the moment. The world is thus pervaded with the abuse and misuse of power.

“God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: that POWER belongs to God” (Psa.62:11). Since Power belongs to God, every other power is by implication, delegated and must be used purposefully. Those who use their delegated powers – political, economic or otherwise – properly to benefit society, usually leave impactful legacies and are elevated to greatness, positive platforms of history, and continue to be celebrated. Those who use power negatively always end up on the dustbin of history. God will demand from every one of us what we did with power! There is however an out-law cast down from heaven – Satan, the devil – who possesses and operates corrupted Power. This further complicates the Question of Power, especially in the realm of the spirit. But, God’s Wisdom is available to guide us into the practical understanding and productive application of His true Power, in order to perform and accomplish every divine exploit ordained for us in destiny!

God is a Spirit and every other power in creation is subject to the Command of His Power. Possessing His Power puts you in charge and in command. His Power subdues and subjugates all enemy powers. His Kingdom is the Kingdom of Power: “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power” (1Cor.4:20). His Power saves, heals, delivers, enriches, promotes, and performs miracles, signs and wonders. By His Word and His Spirit, the Possessor of all Power birthed us into His Kingdom. His Power matures us to “become Sons of God” (Jh.1:12). We are redeemed spirit beings, recreated in His likeness, to walk in the demonstration of His Spirit and Power, for the deliverance of hurting humanity and the redemption of the nations! Beloved, your life is governed by the principles of the spirit realm. You can imprint the virtues of life in this realm on your earthly existence. Your glory as a believer is to live above the natural, and to unleash the power of the Holy Spirit by aligning your natural life to the virtues of the supernatural realm.

The Word and Spirit are your original Sources and Suppliers of Divine Power. Your spirit is like a power fixture, like the light source of your life. It’s analogous to a generator or electric power facility in a building. Without its energy and power, nothing in the building will work. There will be no light. It’s the same with your spirit. Your spirit is the life-giving power that makes you alive, that quickens and gives life: “Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live” (Eze.37:5). The removal of the spirit means death: “…You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust” (Psa. 104:29). When you walk in power as you walk with God, your spiritual authority overrides all authorities of opposition. Beloved, begin to act in line with the Word, the Spirit, and the Power of God in the Realms of the Spirit today.
