REMEMBER THE PURPOSE OF THE GREAT POWER YOU’VE RECEIVED

Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

God has not given us the great power and authority of Christ just so we can be victorious and achieve our goals and desires in life. Being victorious and achieving our goals and desires is just a means to an end. The end is to reflect Christ, preach the Gospel, glorify God and draw people to God. You must always remember that Jesus has sent you into the world just as the Father sent Him, (John 20:21). You are dead, and it is the life of Jesus you’re living now (Gal.2:20). Jesus died for you, so you will live for Him (2Cor.5:15).

In Acts 1:8 (GNB), Jesus said, “But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be ‘witnesses for me’ in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” The purpose of signs and wonders and the manifestation of God’s supernatural power in and through our lives is for us to influence people for Christ and point people to Christ.

Christ has given us dominion over all things so that through us, His fullness will fill the earth (Eph.1:22-23). All things were made by Him and for Him, and God wants Christ to have the preeminence in all things, (Col.1:16-18). Through us, God wants Christ to be Lord in every field, sector and sphere of influence in life.

Prayer:
Dear Father, use me to preach the Gospel and draw men to you, through my supernatural life and exploits
