BRAG NOT ABOUT POWER

InSpired
BRAG NOT OF YOUR POWER! Jer. 9:23
THE TEST OF POWER! (Part One)

The Lord anoints believers especially men and women in the Five fold ministries with power that is under their control.

WHY?  The gifts and calling of God is without repentance.

This means that when God anoints you with the power to get wealth, you can decide to use that wealth in disobedience to God's Word if you chose.

Solomon was anointed with the spirit of wisdom and understanding and God added riches, wealth and long life  to it, because he asked for a discerning heart to govern God:s people. 1 Kings 3:9-13

During his life time, he used the wealth he gained by the power of God to marry 700 wives and worshipped, served and built altars for every strange  idols some of his wives worshipped.

After the death of King Solomon, the elders of Israel complained that Solomon used his vast wealth to add to their yokes and made life difficult for the people of God. 1 Kings 11:4,7

Who gave King Solomon power? 
The Almighty gave Solomon wisdom, wealth and power.

Why? So that Solomon can use it to take care of God's people.

Why did Solomon used it to increase the hardships and yoke of the people of God without God calling him to order?

The gifts and calling of God is without repentance. But at the judgement, every believer will give an account on how they used their God-given gifts on earth.

Apostle Paul was anointed by God to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles and on one of his voyages, he met Bar-Jesus, the sorcerer who tried to oppose the message of the Gospel and Paul cursed him with blindness for a period of time. Acts 13:6-11

Apostle Paul use of power resulted in the conversion of a sinner to Christ. The wicked was punished for his opposition to the Word of God but he was not utterly destroyed.

Prophet  Elisah used of power through a curse caused bears to kill forty- two children when they mocked his bald head.

Were the children wrong to jeered an elderly man especially God:s anointed, God's prophet.

Yes, those children were very wrong to have cursed God's servants. But should  they have died and their destiny wasted because of this wrong. 

Only God knows. But l am showing the various ways you can use your God given power.

Moses use of power put in check rebellion against God's delegated authority. When korah and his associates decided to challenge his leadership openly.

King David could use his.power to destroy the insults of Shimei for he cursed king while he was running away from Absalom but he avoided  doing it directly but referred the judgement to Solomon his son.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..
