Psalms 1:1-3. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.

Power, what a word, over the years, even to this day mankind continues to seek for power, may I add, power in itself is not evil, but we must ask ourselves the question, why are we seeking for power?
Our Lord preached a gospel of power, the Kingdom of God was established through the might and power of God. Jesus said, "For yours is the kingdom and the power" (Matthew. 6:13). Jesus healed those with diseases and various infirmities, He raised the dead, He cast out demons, He stilled storms, that's power. He spoke the word and miracles took place that's power (Matthew 26:64). John 1:12 a very powerful scripture, "For as many as received Him to them gave the power to become the sons of God." We can at times exercise power over people, but then there is power with people. Jesus founded the Kingdom of God on the power of love. He didn't assume the role of some kind of dictator with power over the people, cracking the whip so to speak, but He served us and became our Saviour, thus demonstrating by example His great power. Oh! the power and love of God. Remember! Jesus said, "Come unto me", are we taking advantage of this? Let's do it! In His Service, Pastor Durden |
