Theme: There is power in the word


Our God is not dead but our God is a living God. The power of God is above all powers and all those who depend on him will not be disappointed.
Recaps of last week’s sermon
2 Samuel 22:33 – my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior– from violent men you save me.
2 Timothy 1:7 – For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
“No matter what the enemy brings in your way, you have to battle it until there is victory”.
“The number one weapon the devil uses is the weapon of fear. Never be afraid of whatever is going on in your life, but be courageous and take away the spirit of fear from you”.
John 1:12 – Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Zechariah 4:6 – So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: `Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
“ The Bible makes it known to us that we have power and so we have to recognize the power God has vested in us”
John 10:18 : No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.
“The power of God is above all powers, Jesus said that I have the power to lay down my life and later take it back”. Jesus laid down his life for the salvation of all mankind so that through that we become the children of God.
Today’s sermon (7th august, 2022)
• Luke 9:41-43 – 41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples”.
“We will not be afraid but we will be strong and courageous because of the power in us given to us by God”.
• Matthew 9:6-8 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
• Hebrew 4:12 – For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. “The word of God is like a two edged sword.” Jesus is quicker,sharper and stronger than any two edged sword”. “The storms will come but God has given us power on our tongue to overcome every storm”.
Prayer 🙏 : “pray for the Holy Spirit to revitalize the power of Jesus in you”.
