Mighty Power!
Verse for Today: Friday, December 21, 2012
Isaiah 9:6b – And His
name shall be called Mighty God.
The people who heard the
words of prophecy from Isaiah might have wondered how a new born baby would be
Mighty God! Jesus in His incarnation and humanity was that baby in the manger
in Bethlehem. He appeared physically as weak and powerless as any other baby.
But the babe who was asleep in the mother’s lap was still the Mighty God who
put all His powers under control. He was a weak Man in the Garden of
Gethsemane. When He kept quiet before the High Priest, Herod, Pilate, the Roman
soldiers and the mob, they all thought He was weak and powerless. All the way
from the Praetorium to Calvary, in the midst of all the atrocities leveled
against Him, Jesus did not exhibit His power and might. He kept His might under
control and gave His life for humanity as a weak and powerless man. But while
on earth, He was powerful enough to walk on the water. Simply at His words
alone seas became calm, demons ran out of human lives, the dead came back to
life and the eyes of the blind opened. He emptied Himself of His divine power
and lay as a weak baby in a manger so that all the spiritually powerless human
beings could become the dwelling place of His Spirit. He has been the Mighty
God from the beginning and will be Mighty God throughout eternity. He was the
Creator and has sustained the galaxies in such a way that this earth will be
inhabitable for humans whom He loved and gave His life. He kept His might under
control only for a little over three decades so that we can have His spiritual
power and might all through eternity. Through His might, today we can do things
for which we would not have been otherwise equipped. Today we have the power to
preach about Him which would melt the most hardhearted individuals. When we
pray in His might, He will answer us. We can do all things through Him who
strengthens us with His might. If we give weak our lives to Him unreservedly,
He will put His might in us to use us for His glory.
Dear friend, are you
experiencing weakness in your soul to accomplish anything meaningful for God?
Are you weak willed and powerless in the exercise of your spiritual
responsibilities? If you have the heart of a servant, you will be empowered by
Jesus the Mighty God to strengthen you to fulfill the tasks that are entrusted
with you. When you are lost in the wonder and awe of Jesus and are filled with
His Word and His Spirit, you will be a mighty warrior for Him. His might will
strengthen your faith to trust Him in all your situations. He has given you His
power to exercise your faith in times of hindrances, confusions and chaos. In
the name of Jesus the Mighty God, you can face the enemy with boldness and
confidence. His Spirit will fill you with His might to face all your difficult
circumstances with confidence and courage. When you pray in the name of the
Mighty God, doors will open, chains will fall and light from God will be shed
through the darkest clouds in your horizon. It is in His mighty power that you
will experience emotional healing. The Mighty God will enable you to wear the
whole armor of God to fight the enemy. In His might, obstructive seas and
rivers will give way for you to cross over. Today you have the privilege to imbibe
into His might by getting yourself filled with His Word and His Spirit which
will change your attitude, actions, expressions, exercise of your faith and
trust and the communication of His love. Your emotions will be under the
control of His might so that you will experience rest, peace, tranquility and
contentment. Let the Mighty God who put all His might under control and became
like a baby give you ardent faith like a child, make you adventurous like a
teen and mature like an adult.
Isaiah 40:29 – He
gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Thought for Today
The Mighty God works mighty things through His
children who are fully surrendered to Him as He equips them with His might.
