PENTECOST WITHOUT POWER?* (II)

*PENTECOST WITHOUT POWER?* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.* (1 Corinthians 12:29-31 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_
Personally, if I have a pen that refuses to write, I wouldn't regard it as a pen anymore. I will discard it and get another if all attempt to get it to write fails. If I have a chair, that can't carry my weight without wobbling, I will either fix it or get a replacement. No one enjoys having a device, like smartphone for instance, that can't browse or make video calls and the like. What's the point here? Once what you have starts missing in its optimum function, you don't try to hide from that problem. Rather, you fix it as long as you can or get a replacement.  

If we have the Pentecost and not the power, can we say we have Pentecost? If we have the Holy Spirit baptism, without any evidence, can we claim we are baptised? If we speak in tongues, which is supposed to be an evidence, but cannot preach the gospel to our neighbours, friends, colleagues, etc, are we truly filled with the Holy Spirit? If we have the power, and do not use it, can we correctly claim to have it? Who ever carries power and does not use it?!

This is not the time to pat ourselves in the back or claim that we are doing well. Scripture says, *covet earnestly the best gifts*. If you already have one, COVET another! If you can speak in tongues, COVET gift of prophecy, or faith, or walking in miracles or healing, etc. If you don't have the baptism of the Holy Ghost with any evidence yet, beloved, go for it. Don't stop until you know, with an evidence that you have the baptism of the Holy Ghost.  

MEDITATION:
*The Holy Ghost that does not give you power is not THE ONE that the Father promised. The Father promised us the Holy Ghost with literal POWER, not potential power*

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

What's Your Focus?*

*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B

As Jesus or As yourself?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien
