Keys To Distinction – Part four

The key of power: Lk. 24:49 “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”

Power gives motion to your vision. Vision is useless without motion. You must add some push to your vision. When you add motion to your vision it becomes a missionary. One who sees without applying a push is a visionary (day dreamer)

Some dimensions of power;

   The power of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God’s creative power. He is the answer to your business, health, family and ministry.

    

   The power of the word of God: The word of God is the power of God. It is the worked examples of those who through faith and patience walked with God. Every encounter with the word of God is an encounter with power. God’s word has no private interpretation. He will do for you what he did for the men of old under the same circumstance.

     

    The power of prayer: Prayer is communing with God.

Power can be generated through prayer.

Ac 16:25-26 “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.”

Jesus said “Take ye heed, watch and pray…” (Mk 13:33)

Literary, we pray over the things we cannot do. Man was made    to rule on earth, while God rules in heaven. When problems overwhelm you, take it to the headquarters (heaven) in prayer.

       

    The power of focus: The reason some people never go forward in life is because they lack concentration. They abandon their vision at the slightest challenge.

The worst thing that can happen to a person is to break his or her focus.

Discover a project, begin to work it until it begins to work. What to do when you feel like giving up is not to give up.

  

    Financial power: Eccl. 10:19 “...but money answereth all things.”

Money is a shelter. No matter how holy you are, you need money. Any vision that is not backed with money might never come to pass.

Most of our prayer requests are based on money. Your access to financial liberty is not by fasting and prayer. Wealth is a function of operating kingdom principles. “Give and it shall be given unto you…” (Lk. 6:38).

  

A prayer warrior does not get wealth – a giving warrior does.

What you cannot give out, you should not expect.

God gave his only begotten son – today he has many sons and daughters.

When you release, you increase, when you withhold you decrease.

Now that you have known this truth what manner of person are you supposed to be. Fear God, receive Jesus as your Lord and personal savior, trust him and pray to him and you will be distinguished. God bless you.
