You have been given power.
Matthew 10:1
And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of diseases.

Because we are children and disciples of Jesus, we have been given power and authority. We are no longer the victims, but rather we are the victors. We are no longer the oppressed because we have power over the oppressor. We are no longer prisoners to sin but rather we are set free. For whom the son sets free is free indeed ( John 8:36).

The power to overcome, the power to stand in the midst of difficulties has been given to you because you are His disciple.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

In order to know the authority we have, we must know the authority we sit under. And we sit under the authority of Jesus, the king of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. The authority we have as disciples and children of God surpasses every other authority. We must stand firm in our authority. We must reach deep within our souls and understand that we have the power to resist temptation through Christ who strengthens us. We must reach deep within our hearts and know that we have the power to overcome trials and tribulations through Christ who strengthens us.
Because His Power is made perfect in our weakness ( 2 corinthians 12:9) , we must understand that even what looks difficult in our eyes is small in His eyes. So we must now see from His perspective, as we are His disciples.

Jesus has given us power over every other spirit. You didn’t give yourself the power, He did. He gave the power to the disciples after He called them. Me and you have been called out of darkness into His marvellous light,therefore we have been given the power. We have been given power over unclean spirits, To cast them out, to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of diseases.

Jesus gave the disciples power as a result of them choosing to follow Him. Since you and I have chosen to follow Jesus, we have been given power over every force or opposition we face. Therefore we must not doubt whether we can do what He has called us to do. Because Its the power of God that will enable us to do what He has called us to do. We mustn’t doubt whether we can overcome a problem because Its His power that will lead us to victory. If it was our very own strength then we can question. But we can do all things through who? Through christ who strengthens us. Our eyes must be fixed on Him, our hearts and our hope should be in Him. Not on ourselves or what we don’t have.

He has given you power to overcome. The storm may be brutal but you will make it through to the other side, because of the power He has placed in you. The power in you is much much greater than the look of that storm. Because you are in partnership with Christ, you have hope and you have power. Amen

Colossians 1:27
For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.Amen
Because He who promised is faithful.

God Loves You

God places you in circumstances to strengthen your faith.
In the book of 1 kings 17, God told Elijah to go to a widow in the Land of Zarephath, and God commanded that the woman would provide for Elijah.

But when Elijah got there and asked the widow, the widow did not have enough, she only had a little bit of oil and dough left to feed herself and her son for a day and die afterwards. ( 1 kings 17:12)

But God sent Elijah there. God sent Elijah somewhere which didn’t seem to line up with what He had promised.
Yes Elijah got to the widow,but the widow didn’t have the provision.
Because It was God who was going to provide. Not the widow. When God sends us to go somewhere or go and do something, or go to someone to get something, the provision is not in the place, or person, or anything, the provision is in God.

If Elijah got to the widow and the widow was rich and could feed Elijah, then that would not even build Elijah’s faith.God wanted Elijah to see right before His own eyes, that I will provide for you, not man, its through me that you will get what I have promised you not man.

Sometimes God puts us in situations to stir our faith. He won’t put you in a place where there is abundance. He puts you in a situation where there is lack , so you can exercise the faith He has given you to bring abundance where you are.

How would our faith grow if we knew how everything was going to happen. Elijah could have sat down and said” but God you said the woman will provide, but she doesn’t have enough”. But Elijah had faith in God and the words God spoke to Him , so He spoke according to His faith. He didnt need to go back to God and ask again, because God had already said it.

Hebrews 11:1 faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Elijah’s faith was strengthened because He spoke the very word that God had given Him concerning His provision and there was provision.

Isaiah 55:11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Sometimes we may find ourselves in places God told us to go, people God told us will help us. But we have to realise that the provision is not in the place or the person, our provision is in God. The place is where God has chosen to manifest His provision, the people are vessels God has chosen to use. But God Himself is the one who will make it happen.

Speak the word that God has given you concerning your situation. It may not look like what God has promised right now, but as you speak with faith and move with faith It will happen. Have faith!! Din’t give up !!!

Numbers 23:19
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
