“The Power of God"
“The Power of God"
Blessings folk!
The “western” church is basically powerless.
Seriously.
We are fools.
Let’s look at what the Lord says.
Read the following giving close attention to the “power of God”.
1 Co 1:18-24
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
For it is written:
“I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,
AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE WHO HAVE UNDERSTANDING, I WILL CONFOUND.”
Where is the wise person?
Where is the scribe?
Where is the debater of this age?
Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;
but we preach Christ crucified,
to Jews a stumbling block,
and to Gentiles foolishness,
but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
The good news - the gospel - of the cross is the power of God unto salvation.
Those who believe shall be saved.
Christ is the power of God.
Christ is the wisdom of God.
Give close heed.
Listen.
Where are those who are seeking the power of God?
Where are those that are teaching/preaching/living the power of God?
They are few.
Most are trying to “do something” for the Lord.
They do all sorts of man-made/designed endeavors, yet continually deny the instruction of the Lord.
Stop it!
Seek the Lord!
Do as He has instructed.
Know who we are as OneAnother in Him.
Know what we are to do as OneAnother.
Then do it.
Reject the foolish, time-wasting strategies of man.
Embrace the freeing liberty of Kingdom-Life in the Lord.
