DIVINE POWER FOR IMPACT (3)

“And declared to be the Son of God with POWER, according to the SPIRIT of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” – Romans 1:4

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Exemplification of DIVINE POWER for IMPACT: “And declared to be the Son of God with POWER, according to the SPIRIT of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Rom.1:4). His resurrection demonstrated His divine Sonship with Power, according to the Spirit of Holiness! The resurrection is the ultimate proof of His Identity and Authority as the Messiah and God’s Son. Divine Power authenticated His Sonship! The resurrection was a visible, powerful manifestation of His Divine Nature. It has a profound impact on Believers, as proof of Jesus’ Power to save, deliver, and transform lives.

Almighty God is the Omnipotent Possessor of All Power. He is “the Most High God, the POSSESSOR of heaven and earth” (Gen.14:22). He displayed His Power all through Scriptures either directly or indirectly through angelic and human vessels. Furthermore, He created humankind with an intrinsic Power for Impact, to “be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue; have dominion over...” (Gen.1:28). However, it is in Christ that all of Divine Power comes into fullest manifestation! God’s Unlimited Power is perfectly expressed in the Person of His Son: “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ALL POWER is given to Me in heaven and in earth” (Mt..28:18). He is the Final Source of all dimensions of Power in heaven and on earth.

Every other power is subject to the Command of Christ’s Matchless Power. To receive Him as Lord and Saviour is to embrace His Person through the Holy Spirit, and be ushered into unprecedented Realms of Power. Believers in Christ are redeemed to partake of His Divine Power: “But as many as received Him, to them gave He POWER to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (Jh.1:12). Shortly before ascending to heaven, the Lord gave His disciples the Promise of Power: “Behold, I send the Promise of My father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with Power from on High” (Lk.24:49). This promise began to be supernaturally fulfilled on the day of Pentecost in the Room (Acts 2:1-4).

Although the lack of demonstration of Divine Power appears to be a missing dynamic in today’s Church, God’s promise of Power remains the privilege of every generation of believers. By prophetic timing, we are in the Day of God’s Power when His people would be willing (Psa.110:3). The End-time Church will manifest the Power of God in greater degrees than ever, as He empowers Believers to awake, arise, and shine under the banner of His Glory (Isa.60:1-3). Are we prepared for His Power?
