POWER FOR MANIFESTATION

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans 8:19, 21

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

1 Corinthians 12:7

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 4:2

Two Greek words are translated "manifestation”, “phanerosis” (1 Cor. 12:7, 2 Cor. 4:2) and “apokalupsis” (Rom. 8:19). Both words "manifest" and "reveal" suggest something hidden, but the figure underlying the words derived from “phaneroo”, "to be made manifest", is that of light, whereas the figure underlying the words derived from “apokalupto”, "to be revealed", is that of a veil.

Not until you are endowed with dynamite power from above, the agenda of God for your life remains a hidden treasure; and what is the use of a treasure wen it is hidden somewhere underneath and cannot be discovered for noble use? Ghana's Jubilee Oilfield which contains up to 3 billion barrels (480,000,000 m3) of sweet crude oil was discovered in 2007, among the many other oilfields in Ghana. Oil and gas exploration in Ghana is ongoing, and the amount of both crude oil and natural gas continues to increase. Before 2007, Ghana was in anyway not recognized by the world as an oil rich production country.

The history of Ghana goes far back into the 13th century. The Republic of Ghana was formerly known as the Gold Coast until midnight march 6th 1957, when it was liberated from the hands of the British. Now let us perform some basic mathematics here, 100 years make a century. The whole world of living is now in the 21st century presently. Now counting from 13th to 21st Century suggests that Ghana’s unique and valuable national treasure was nothing to write home about until after 800 years.

My dear, you need unction to function. Nobody is disadvantaged and born useless. We are born unique with a glorious destiny. God has deposited a national treasure in us for the whole world to see, admire and become a beneficiary. We are products of destiny with a peculiar blessings and particular assignments on earth. We are not here on earth to mark and while away time on earth.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

1 Peter 2:9

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psalm 139:13-15

We are a made of distinguishing, individualistic substances and idiosyncratic resources. We are extraordinary creatures with all kinds of precious, distinctive and outstanding physical and spiritual gifts, skills and talents by our creator.

“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us…,”

Romans 12:6

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

1 Corinthians 7:7

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Ephesians 1:3

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Ephesians 4:7-8

However, to manifest all these wonderful attributes, results, gifts and astonishing treasure that our maker has deposited in us will require the maker’s standard power to do that. If you have been destined and called as a preacher in any of the five-hold ministries you need the manifestation power to manifest your calling otherwise, you will remain a lay preacher with no identity till you die. For about 30 years Jesus remained a lay man in the synagogue with no identity until He encountered the manifestation power of God.

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
