Power for Glory

Sunday 15 March
READ: Lk.5:17-26
MORE LESSON: Ps.35:1-9

It’s established from our reading today that without power, there is no manifestation of glory. There is a driving force for every testimony in the midst of contending natural laws, disease and unease. The force of God reverses these contentions and brings glorious changes.

According to our text, because the power of God was present in the synague, sickness disappeared. The following, among others, are what can provoke the power to bring down God’s presence and chase evil strangers away:
1. Faith, by which a man obtains help to prevail, Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of the lion, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead back to life…. Heb.11:32-35.

2. Righteousness is another tool that is effective to release glory to you by force. Men have used this tool with good results; for instance, Hezekiah the king reversed death by reminding God of his righteous walk before Him (II Kings 20:1-6). God answered and added fifteen years to his life.

3. Prayer- the strength to obey the will of God to the end came to Jesus by the force of strong prayer (Lk. 22:41-44). Daniel prayed for 21 days without giving up and answer came by force. Nehemiah completed an assignment of 7 years in 52days by the force of prayer (Neh.1:4;2:4).

4. The force of your seed can break siege. In II Chron1:6, King Solomon gave offerings to the point that God appeared and gave him gifts that no man has received till now. A king broke the siege of battle that was against him by an unusual seed (II Kings 3:25-27). Use a beyond-the-ordinary-offering to break the siege of the enemy over your life.

5. Fasting (Matt. 17:21, Mk. 9:29) is a force. Jesus says that there are certain miracles that will never come except by fasting and prayer; Jesus himself did not start ministry until he had done 40 days and nights of fasting.

You can release your glory by all these tools beginning from today. They worked for others before you and will still work for anyone who will work with the same principles. When the power of God showed up in the days of Jesus every anti-glory matter like sickness and diseases vanished. In like manner today, I decree, every anti-glory force in your life and destiny, disappear, in Jesus’ name. As you employ these instruments to bring power for glory, your testimony will not be less than those chronicled in the scriptures above.

Prayer/Action
* I activate power for glory in my life today by prayer, righteousness and faith.
* I will surely testify of glory in life, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I declare by the force of Heaven that those waiting to mock me will wait in vain, in Jesus’ name.
