FAITH IN GOD'S POWER

1 Corinthians 2:4-5

[4]And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

[5]That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

The difference between motivational speakers and the preacher of the Gospel is the demonstration of God's power, while the speech of a motivational speaker brings instant rise of emotions mixing with temporal passion, the message of the Cross brings sober reflection that leads to faith and godliness.

Paul clearly stated that he was conscious of the fact that human philosophy, wisdom, persuasive words aren't what our faith needs to either grow or stand, but our faith needs a demonstration of God's power to stand. One of the problem we faced is that we are constantly being fed with words from sound human philosophy and this has been making our walk with God becomes all but a struggle because it ends in setting up our spiritual lives using the worldly standard which contradict God's will.

The scripture is the perfect mirror to check out your life, your faith is meant to be resting on God's power. If your standard of living is based on the standard of the world, you are missing it, God's ways is mysterious and can't be fathom so also should your faith be, it should rest on the power of God which is mysterious so that no one would be able to fathom how you're standing even the devil. Get yourself out of those earthly philosophy and get yourself fasten with the demonstration of God's power that comes from the reality of his WORDS.

Nugget: Your faith should demonstrate God's power.

PRAYER: Father, help me to understand my foundation in you and to plant myself accordingly in it in Jesus Name.

IT'S ALREADY PREPARED

DAILY DIVINE WORD (A Sunset Devotional) 26th July, 2025 THEME : It's Prepared Already. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE : Mark 14: 12-15: 12 - Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" 13 - And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 - Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' 15 - Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." If a man knows what has been prepared for him and when exactly it will come to him, maybe we would worry less, maybe we won't even be anxious over anything as the scripture advised us. But, the mystery about life and about walking with...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 26TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC: GUARD YOUR FREEDOM. TEXT: 1Cor.8.9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor.8.10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 1Cor.8.11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 1Cor.8.12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor.8.13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. TRUTHFULLY Christ came to deliver freedom to us, Christ's freedom is also freedom indeed because He says "if the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed." He has given us freedom from traditions, laws, old practices, superstitions, tales, and the likes. So we have liberty in J...

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL 4th May 2023 TOPIC : Living with Power TEXT : Acts 1:6-8 [ 6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7]And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. [8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. MANY people had thought that to make impact in life has to deal with having plenty money, while the Bible actually says money answers all things, we must understand that the Bible does not say money rules affairs. Also many people believes that mercy is the only key that opens a meaningful life, while that might be true, if mercy will not deliver Power to any one, the impact might be minimal. Many rich people w...
