Enabling Power

ENABLING POWER

OBSERVATION: THE HOLY GHOST (SPIRIT) CAME TO EMPOWER BELIEVERS TO WITNESS.

INTERPRETATION: ACTS 1:8 (NKJV) BUT YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME UPON YOU; AND YOU SHALL BE WITNESSES TO ME IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA, AND TO THE END OF THE EARTH. ACTS 1:8 (THE BOOK) BUT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME UPON YOU, YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER AND WILL TELL PEOPLE ABOUT ME EVERYWHERE-IN JERUSALEM, THROUGHOUT JUDEA, IN SAMARIA, AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

POINTS TO PONDER:

JESUS APPEARED TO HIS APOSTLES SEVERAL TIMES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION. HE EXPLAINED THEIR FUTURE MISSION UPON ONE OCCASION. TWO ISSUES IMMEDIATELY AROSE. THE DISCIPLES’ AGENDA WAS THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATION ISRAEL. JESUS’ AGENDA WAS MUCH DIFFERENT. HIS AGENDA WAS THE EVANGELIZING OF THE ENTIRE WORLD STARTING AT JERUSALEM. TO GET THIS DONE HE WOULD SEND THE HOLY GHOST (HOLY SPIRIT) TO EMPOWER-ENABLE THEM FOR SUCCESS.

MATTHEW 9:37 (NKJV) THEN HE (JESUS) SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, THE HARVEST TRULY IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW.

THE UNSAVED WILL NEVER HEAR THE GOSPEL UNLESS CHRISTIAN MEN AND WOMEN ARE WILLING TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS.

APPLICATION: THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ENABLING POWER TO EVANGELIZE THE WORLD. IT IS NOT A LUXURY: IT IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY!
