TEXT ACTS 1:8
TOPIC : THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF A WITNESS
[8]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.
A witness is an evidence provider, he is a proof producer.
Jesus said that we shall be proof producers that He was a miracle worker.
He wants us to provide evidence that in His time on earth, He raised the only son of the widow of Nain.
He wants us to prove that He raised Lazarus from the grave after four days.
How can you prove to people that He calmed the raging storm at the sea of Galilee?
Before He ascended, He gathered the disciples and told them to remain in one place until they receive the promise of the father, power.
Without this power, the whole scripture would be like tales by moonlight.
Have you ever tried preaching the gospel to someone without the power of the Holy spirit?
It will be nothing but arguments.
Some times, the unbeliever will even have superior arguments.
When peter and James healed the crippled man at the church gate called beautiful, they didn't need to preach anything other than that " this man here is made whole by the power of the resurrected Jesus".
There is a cost for power.
Untill you get it, refuse to rest.
If you rest, demons will one day ask you, who are you?
Demons enjoy embarrassing believers who have not paid the high cost of power.
If you must be a credible witness for the one who died for you, you must die also to self.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
