As we explore the provision of God’s blessing, the first thing we want to be thankful and grateful for is the provision of God’s power. The psalmist wrote: ‘The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God.’ (Psalm 68:35)
The great fight in the universe and in our world is for control, for power. Who has the ultimate power to rule over the affairs of humanity? Who has the power to control the resources in our world, and more importantly, who has the power of human destiny? After Jesus’ death and resurrection, he made this bold and all-encompassing statement: ‘Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.’ (Matthew 28:18) It is under the authority that Jesus has been given by God that the body of Christ operates today. So, as we pray and reflect on the blessing of God’s provision, how should that affect and guide our decision-making and engagement with God and others?”
When we pray, remember:
“As we gather to fast and pray today, let’s begin by settling our hearts into a place of profound gratitude and thanksgiving for God’s church. Consider the immense privilege: God Himself has entrusted His power to us, calling us to embody His presence here on earth.
Take a moment to simply thank God for the Holy Spirit’s power that dwells within us, and for the wisdom He freely gives us to serve His kingdom’s purposes with that power.
Let’s bring before God the challenges and worries that weigh on us. As we lift these up, let’s pray with anticipation for a season of breakthrough, confident that we are bringing God’s transformative power directly to bear on these situations. Rest assured, God is absolutely in control”.
Remember – His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life…
Our vision is to be a church where people flourish, growing in the knowledge and love of God and reaching out in the spirit of generosity.
