Message: I MUST MANIFEST (THE POWER OF GOD)
Text: Romans 8:19, 1 Cor 4:20
Ministering: Pastor Dr. Raf Otono
Last night we prayed about the Glory of God as one of the manifestations we must display on earth. We saw how Moses cried for God’s glory in ex 33:18 – Lord show me Your glory!
What Moses knew before he said that in exodus 33:18 were the ACTS OF GOD!
The acts of God are the signs of God but the GLORY OF GOD IS GOD HIMSELF!
3 KINDS MANIFESTATIONS:
- The manifestation of God
- The manifestation of angels
- The manifestation of sons
I also said that the true manifestation of sons is the display of the character and attributes of their father! (GOD)
So tonight, we are going to be dealing with the POWER/MIGHT OF GOD – Rev 7:12
If we are genuine sons of God on earth, we must manifest His power!
Listen: Life in this kingdom and earthly realm is a risk without divine empowerment!
This kingdom answers to power! – Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8
Until you tarry in the place of prayer – you can’t carry & manifest His power! (Tarry to carry power!)
Luke 4:14 – Until you carry and manifest God’s Power nations won’t hear your name!
Tonight, I prophesy – Carry power!!
Listen: Empowerment is a personal journey, there is no such thing as cooperate empowerment. (The fuel in my car can’t run another brother’s car) – The oil in my lamp can’t power your lamp- Matt 25:8-9
Empowerment is a personal responsibility and requirement, so set your heart tonight to receive your own! – Luke 10:19
Our God is a God of power! And as His children we must manifest His power!
Listen: Now, listen – Power is in levels – Eze 47:1-9 NKJV
Isa 55:1 (The water is the word of God)
- Ankle level
- Knee level
- Waist level
- River level
- Power – Acts 2:1-4
- Great Power – Acts 4:33
- Exceeding great power – Eph 1:19
- Mighty Power – Eph 1:19-21
The Holy Ghost is the activator of God’s power in us! If you want to manifest God’s Power, you must be in tune with the Holy Ghost
Listen: It is not enough to be empowered but you must stay empowered
How do u stay empowered?
- Do not grieve the Holy Spirit – Eph 4:30
- Do not quench the spirit – 1 Thes 5:17- 19
One of the fastest ways to quench the spirit is prayerlessness!
Samson was empowered but it quenched one day. It started by grieving the spirit.
If you don’t stop grieving Him, you end up will quenching Him!
The only time Samson prayed was when they cut his hair and plucked out his eyes!
Continuity in sin and iniquity grieves Him, it gets to a point when you quench Him.
Hey! This year you won’t quench the Holy Spirit!
You will manifest God’s power!
Rise on your feet!
Listen: When a Lion goes to sleep, it doesn’t become a sheep! We are going to pray as sons of God!
One of the ways to contact power is by long prayers!
Prayers:
- Holy Ghost, this year shift me to another dimension of Your power! Endue me with exceeding great & mighty power!
- Luke 4:14 – Father, this year by the manifestation of Your power, announce me and let nations bow to me
- Psalm 66:3 – Father, this year by the manifestation of Your power, all my enemies will bow and submit themselves unto me
- Ps 110:1-3 – Father, this year by the manifestation of Your power, I will rule in the midst of my enemies
- Father, this year by the manifestation of Your power – I command men to be willing to favor me in the name of Jesus
