Brethren,
Blessings to you from the God who does wonders, Jesus Christ our Lord.
When He was about to ascend into heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ assured the apostles of power transfer to them (Matt 28:18-20), to enable them continue the good work of the kingdom of heaven, He had come to the earth to jump start.
However, the early apostles were not to start work until they had received power from on high, by the in filling of the Holy Spirit. So they obeyed (Lk 24:49), by assembling together in Jerusalem (Acts 1:8) in prayer till the divine visitation, at Pentecost (Acts 2:2-4). Thus heralded the advent of the church of Jesus Christ with power.
This power to do good, is coming more abundantly to us this month, and just as God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power (Acts 10:38) and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, God will use each and everyone of us, who believe, to be faithful witnesses wherever we go in Jesus Name.
Let us remember, the following conditions for receiving this power of the Almighty God– we must be born-again, live holy, belong to a bible believing church where we assemble with other believers to pray, worship, serve etc.
On a personal level, pray for God’s power this month and He’ll make you a good witness by the Holy Spirit henceforth.
Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali
