“Power For Fruitful Service”
Tuesday, January 7, 2025
Key Verse
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
Text —Acts 1:1-9
Message
School life in pre-Independence Nigeria was tough, especially in the rainy season when “stubborn grass” took over the compound. The responsibility of weeding fell on the students. If you had the misfortune of offending an unkind senior student or teacher, you were sentenced to endless hours of battling with the tough grass until your hands were blistered. Later, a lawn mower surfaced, and it was a game-changer. Students took special delight in watching the no-nonsense machine effortlessly chew up the stubborn grass that caused them blisters before. The lawn mower machine saved time; it did a neater job too.
Before receiving the power of the Holy Ghost, the disciples were ineffective, intimidated, and fearful. They were like our crude cutlasses that often succumbed to the stubborn grass. On the Day of Pentecost when the disciples received the power of the Holy Ghost, they became very effective and courageous witnesses for Christ. Spiritual service is done with the Holy Spirit power. The power is promised by Christ to all saved and sanctified believers. Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?
