PRAYER & POWER* (II)

*PRAYER & POWER* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:* (1 Corinthians 14:18 (KJV)) 

_Bible Insight:_
Remember we have two things as a factor attached to prayer that brings power-- faith & righteous living. In other words, if we must excel in power manifestation, we must be not only prayerful but be growing in faith and in fruits of righteousness. Pause. Remember the Holy Spirit is the God of Power. I mean the source of power for the believer. Do you remember the most common gift that many refer to as the evidence of baptism with the Spirit!? 

Yes-- Gift of Speaking in other tongues. Let's just call it Tongues. Now, note this: This is about the most received Gift of the Holy Spirit. It is important to note that though many argue that it is the evidence of Baptism with the Holy Spirit, I am more interested in the role that it plays in the believer's command or pursuit of Power. Now this is the part many miss out. Pay attention please. 

Tongues should be received as The Holy Spirit's welcome pack or landing path in the believer's life. I mean, it is meant to propel us to other gifts. How? Tongues is a language of prayer and deep communication with God. Spending time tonguing provokes tremendous power. This therefore should be sought as the means by which a believer pursues or covet other gifts. Tongues is not a sign that you have arrived nor is it a place to remain content with without more. Most disciples who were known to posses Tongues, had other gifts besides tongues. 

Now back to faith and righteous living. Jude said *But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,* (Jude 1:20 (KJV)) This means we build up our faith when we pray in Tongues. Faith built up, in turn releases greater power. The constant practice of Tonguing when properly applied should elevate our minds to be closer to God thereby making us live righteously effortlessly. At this level, prayer becomes a fast and effective launchpad for power manifestation. 

MEDITATION:
*Tongue in Prayer + Faith + Righteousness = Power. Remember: Tongue, faith, and righteousness are all connected. If anyone suffer, the rest will. If anyone increases, the rest should. Selah*

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

As Jesus or As yourself?*

*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

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
