STAND IN THE POWER OF GOD

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:5 (KJV)

As a new creation, our position and relationship with the Lord must be clearly defined so that we will be able to withstand the vicissitudes of life. Our relationship with God should not be based on popular opinion. It should not be based on convenience and has nothing to do with professional advice. Our relationship should be based on the power of God!

In our world today, many things are begging for our attention, and that’s why you see all kinds of very beautiful billboards across cities. They are all begging for attention so you can plan based on their advertising. You will also agree that in the world we live in, satanic activities are also on the increase. So, now the responsibility lies on you to make up your mind to overcome.

If you must overcome, then your life must be rooted and established on something immovable, which is the Word of God! Your life and everything about you must be firmly established on the Word of God. Every system and everything that man has built is being shaken. So, it is very important for you to understand that when we gather in church meetings, we don’t just gather because of religious exercise or a ritual. It is to enable you to access the ingredients that God has made available to us as kingdom people. This will enable you to stand and keep standing even when the shakings are over. This is because, after every shaking, something will always remain.

It was Paul who gave us an insight from our text when he said, “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God”. 1 Corinthians 2:5 (KJV). That means it is possible for faith to stand in the wisdom of men. When your faith stands in the wisdom of men it has the margin for failure. But when it stands on the Word of God, it stands sure forever.
