POWER FOR SHOW OR FOR SERVICE?*

*POWER FOR SHOW OR FOR SERVICE?*
_Key Bible Text:_
*The Spirit's presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.* (1 Corinthians 12:7 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
This is probably the most singular reason revival tarries and power demonstration is on the decline. A lot of people today wants power to kill their neighbour or colleague who is making life difficult for them. A lot more want power as a sign that they have finally arrived. So they can now prove that they are anointed senior men of God. Well, power responds to those who are ready for service & for the good of all.
A heart of service is one of the key factors God looks out for in order to release His power in the life of a man. Service is the altar of sacrifice and selflessness. A lot of people want power so they can outshine their pastor or mentors. God is not committed to a desire that is not right before Him. God sees through our tears to the content and context of our inner desires and heart disposition.
Some seek power in the spirit of competition rather than compassion. Some seek power in the spirit of religion rather than relationship. Other seek power to rise through their church's or ministry's organizational hierarchy rather than to raise the glory of God and to bring men back to God. The Holy Spirit sees through our heart. When the motive for seeking power is wrong, He is likely to overlook until a correction is made.
Some people are asking God to give them power but they can't carry their bibles to seek for places where the Gospel have not reached in order to preach the Gospel. Others are looking for members of another church to covet and convert, and they think God will give them power to show that they have arrived and that theirs is the reigning place. God is not moved by such showmanship.
MEDITATION:
*Power answers to those whose primary goal is to serve God more and to enforce the will of God on earth as it is in heaven.*
