The power within

One of the weakness of a man is his inability to discover himself. The first step of succeeding in life is mastering your self. Accepting your self the way you are, knowing that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

In every seed there is a tree;

In every bird, a flock;

In every fish a school;

In every boy a man;

In every girl a woman; in every nation a generation.

Tragedy strikes when a tree dies in a seed, a man in a boy, a woman in a girl, an idea in a mind. For untold millions, vision die unseen, songs die unsung, plan die unexecuted and future die buried in the past.(Munroe)

This is so true as many of us don’t know the power (potentials) in us,many at times we wish we are another person. According to proverb 23:7, if you can conceive it, you can do it(if you can think it, you can do it). This is the power am talking about. The power we possess as a child of God. in letter of st Paul to the phillipians 4: 13, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You have the power to do anything and Jesus is the authority upon which you can exercise that power. In John 4:4, greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. You have everything you need to succeed. You just have to discover it, discover yourself..ask your self, who am I? If you are able to answer this question,then you are surely going to make it.

A child of God can only be defeated when he stops praying. Bible said we should pray without season. In whatever you do , put me first then I direct your path ( proverb 3:5-6). a prayerful child of God is a powerful child of God, a prayerless child of God is a powerless child of God. The power within is activated with prayer. Let’s look at what happened in the book of Ezekiel chapter 37, the valley of dry bones,the spirit of God ,led Ezekiel to this valley, and God ask him a question, mortal man can these bones live again?? ,God is asking you the same question today, is there anything difficult for me to do? Is it your exams, family issues, financial breakthrough, life of holiness, what is it? The Bible said in mark 10:27 ,there is nothing impossible for God to do,in sirach 10: 21, it is possible for God to make poor man suddenly and instantly rich, Deuteronomy 28:13,you shall be the first and not the last, you shall be above only and not the beneath and he concluded it in Malachi 3:6 I am the lord, I do not change. What was Ezekiel’s answer?,he believed that the bones can live again, only if God say so. God instructed him to prophesy to those bones and he did, the dry bones came back to life. Ezekiel have the power but God gave him the authority to use it. Whatever you do in life don’t live your authority behind. Cut off from me ,you can do nothing,I am the vine and you are my branches.

Believe in yourself today,know that Christ lives in you and that there is nothing impossible for him to do.

What ever you do in life, prepare prayerfully,plan purposefully, proceed positively and pursue persistently.

Prayer.

A divine means of communication;

Between men and God;

A period of heart meditation;

That can melt the strongest rod,

In all that you do,pray;

All your intentions you must declare,

With strong faith in God,it’s clear,

All that you require and desire,

Will be granted unto you by the Messiah.

Never give room to the enemy of prayer;

Sin,so simple but a silent killer,

Appears harmless but very disastrous;

But is powerless compare to your power in the name of Jesus. (James obodoechi).
