1 Corinthians 4:20(NIV)
20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk
but of power.
To live a fulfilled life, you have to live by God’s power.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 4:20, “For the kingdom
of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power” (NLT,
second edition).
Did you know God does not bless self-reliant people? He
blesses people who are dependent upon him and surrendered to him.
God wants to use you, but you must live by his power.
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his
mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask
or think.”
God is able to do more than you can ever imagine. So how do
you get God’s power in your life? There are three ways.
You get God’s power
by praying. If you don’t have any power in your life, that could mean
You’re not praying. Prayer and power go together.
You get God’s power
by taking risks to obey God. When you take a risk to do what God tells
you to do, even when it’s hard or unpopular, even when it may cost you, even
when it doesn’t make sense, even when nobody else is doing it, God will pour
out his power in your life.
You get God’s power by
not giving up. Don’t give up! In order for God to grow your faith,
he’s got to test it. When you’re going through difficulties and delays and dead
ends and despair and discouragement, God is teaching you to trust him. Hang on,
and God will bless you.
Thought for today:
Am I capable of accessing God’s power is times of stress and struggle?
