The Power Inside You
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according
to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20).
The responsibility for your life isn’t so much with
God as it is with you. Some people blame God
for every unfortunate event in their lives and in the
world, and that’s because they don’t know Him.
Indeed, He’s God, and He’s all-powerful; with
Him all things are possible. However, the power to
change things-His power to produce the miracle
you desire or require-is already inside you! It’s your
responsibility to activate it.
Our theme verse says, “Now unto him that is
able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we
ask or think, according to the power that worketh in
us.” Whatever God will do in your life is to the extent
of the operation of His power in you. So you see,
you really can’t, and shouldn’t, hold God responsible
for all happenings in your life, neither is He the one
“delaying” the fulfilment of His Word in your life; you’re
the one to activate the power in you.
It makes no difference what you need; be it
healing, increased finances, a new job, a child, growth
and expansion in ministry, business or in your career,
success in your academics, etc., the power to make it
happen is inside you. The Lord Jesus said in Acts 1:8,
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you….” That power is the dynamic ability
to effect changes, and the quickest way to activate it
is speaking in other tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He that speaketh in an
unknown tongue edifieth himself….” That means the
one who speaks in other tongues energises or activates
himself in the supernatural; he stirs up divine power
from within. In 2 Timothy 1:6, Paul told Timothy to
stir up the gift of God in him. He was referring to the
power of the Holy Spirit, which can be dormant unless
activated. Sadly, some Christians have allowed that
power lie dormant in them. Don’t let that happen to
you; pray in tongues often and stir up that power; put it to work.
The power of God is also activated when you
affirm His Word with boldness. God and His Word
are one. When you declare the Word concerning any
situation, you’re invoking His power to bring about a
change in that situation. If you want to see the release
of the power of God in your life, maintain the habit
of meditating on the Word; contemplate and voice the Word.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the awesome privilege of
activating the power of your Spirit within me, to cause a
change in circumstances and situations. As I speak in tongues,
I’m transported into higher realms of glory, where I reign in
righteousness and excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
