The King in His Power
Prayers
1. Father, reign in your power over my life, family, and destiny in the name of Jesus.
2. Father, by your mighty power, destroy every seed, planting and fruits of the wicked out of my life, family, and destiny in the name of Jesus.
In Psalm 89:13, the Bible says that: You have a mighty arm; Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.
It is my prayer that:
The mighty arm of God will destroy every evil opposition against your life in the name of Jesus.
The mighty arm of God will lift you high in victory into Jesus’ name.
Text:
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
19Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. (Matthew 28:18 AMP).
Jesus boldly declared the universal truth that all power belongs to him.
He is the King of kings.
In this season we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Psalmist prophesied about this and said in Psalm 62:11 that God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
We will be looking at the nature of the Power of God: the power of our Lord Jesus Christ today.
What is Power?
Power has been defined as:
· Possession of control, authority, or influence over others.
· A nation or entity that has influence among other nations.
· The ability to act or produce an effect.
· Having the ability to change things.
· the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.
Synonyms of power include ability, capacity, capability, potential, potentiality, faculty, property and competence.
We will now examine each of these in relation to God and ourselves. The following demonstrates that God has the power to change things in your favour.
Some of the Nature of God’s Power Available to Help us
1. Ability – Only God has limitless ability. Job said in Job 42:2 “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.
No power will be able to stop the good and great things God wants to do and is doing in your life in Jesus’ name.
2. Capacity – Only God has limitless capacity. He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He made all things and by His power all things are sustained (Genesis 1, Hebrews 1:3). May the infinite capacity of God bring into being the great things you desire in your life, family, health, academics, career, business, and finances in the name of Jesus.
3. Capability – God has unquestionable capability to do anything. Jesus said in John 14:14 that If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. May God do for you great, mighty, and wonderful things that only He can do in the mighty name of Jesus.
4. Potential – God has limitless potential. Someone said that if you met God in the middle of nowhere before the heavens and earth were made, you may not realise His potential. There is nothing difficult for Him to do (Jeremiah 32:27). Your case will not be difficult for Him to handle in Jesus’ name.
5. Potentiality – He has exceeding potentiality according to 1 Timothy 6:15 - Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; (KJV)
which He will bring about in His own time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the absolute Ruler], the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, (AMP)
6. Faculty – His faculty is supreme, and God cannot be compared to other things or any of His creation.
He is the only wise God, meaning that all other gods are foolish or unwise.
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (Jude 1:25)
7. Property – God owns all the properties existing in the world. He made them and can destroy or take them away at will. A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein (Psalm 24:1).
8. Competence – God is infinitesimally competent. He is an excellent God and does excellent works. For example, only God can divide between the soul and the spirit.
12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4)
His works are Very Good. When God looked at what He had made, He declared that it was very good. (Genesis 1:31)
The above leads us to conclude that:
· Power is the ability to do things.
· Only God has absolute power
· God has power over the visible and invisible things, powers, and entities. He is a man of war; the Lord is His name.
May God fight your spiritual and physical battles and give you victory in Jesus’ name.
Some Divinely Unique Ways the Power of God Can and Will Work for You
1. Power to save: Only Jesus can save from sins and grant eternal life of peace with God.
The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17)
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25)
2. Power to heal: Jesus is the mighty healer.
News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed--and He healed them. (Matthew 4:24)
There is no infirmity or disease He cannot heal.
3. Power to bless – God can bless you. Whatever we have we received is from Him since all good and perfect gifts come from above, from the Father of lights in Who there is no variableness nor shadow of turning
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes]. (James 1:13 AMP)
4. Power to turn things around to favour you. God has power to turn the tables in your favour.
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them. (Esther 9:1)
The tables will turn in your favour.
Circumstances that should work against you will work in your favour in Jesus’ name.
What the enemy planned against you will destroy the enemy and promote you in the name of Jesus.
