Power to Do What?

By Deacon Joseph Nnaji

The Bible says in the book of Hosea 4:6 that; “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou have rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.” 

Knowledge is so important to God that He warned the children of Israel in Joshua 1:8 saying, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate there-in day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.” 

And in 2 Timothy 2:15, John 8:32, Daniel 11:32, Luke 10:19, Matthew 16:19, we understand we have been given power and authority. 

With all this tremendous power that the Lord Jesus Christ has made available to His followers, why is it that so many of us are just barely surviving? Why is it that the enemies are having a field day? 

Why is it that when the sea rages or the storm of life arises, we go into meltdown, instead of standing up to calm the raging storm we go into hiding?  

The first step is the knowing, and then the using of that which is available unto us. Imagine prince Charles not knowing that he is from the royal family and next in line to the throne, he may never have become the king of England. 

So many God’s children just go through life not knowing whom they are in Christ, and because of that ignorance they never made impact in any meaningful way. 

As sons and daughters of the Most High, we must know that our Father is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. He is the Almighty (all power belongs to Him). 

Revelations 1:6, “He has made us Kings and Priests unto God and His Father” So if kings, where is the words of a king that carries power? Ecclesiastes 8:4.  

I pray for the grace to search out the knowledge of who we are in the Lord and begin to operate in that realm, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.  

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  Shalom.
