Psalm 66:3 ‘Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.’
DAILY RRADING; Luke 23:26-56; Genesis 42; Psalm 33
In May, 1953, many global headlines carried the sensational news of a strange occurrence in Manila, Philippines . It was the story of a 17 year old girl, who was a minor offender being held in prison, but was being bitten visibly by invisible forces. Her case had baffled the medical and mental science experts and seemed to defy every solution. The best professionals were at loss about what to do and the government of Manila were calling for help from around the world to solve the strange case.
At this time the American Pastor Lester Sumrall was serving as a missionary in the Philippines, when he heard about the strange news on the radio. Realizing that what the girl needed was deliverance by the power of God, he prayed and asked God to heal the girl. But as he prayed, he heard God ask him to go to Manila and pray for the girl and He would heal her. Though Dr. Sumrall was initially reluctant to go, eventually he boarded a plane and flew to manila. Having spiritually prepared through fasting, praying and study of the Word, when he saw the girl, he immediately took authority over the situation. Through pleading the Blood of Jesus and declaring God’s Word, the girl was eventually delivered from the demonic attack.
The news of her deliverance made another sensational headlines across the world. The incredible story changed the spiritual climate of the Philippines, as over 150,000 people accepted Christ as their Savior. News of the deliverance brought great glory to God and the work God was doing through Dr. Lester Sumrall became widely recognized both in the Philippines and globally.
Romans 8:19 says ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.’
Indeed the whole creature is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. People are groaning and crying and looking for solutions to their problems. We must therefore take our place as sons of God in this generation and begin to manifest His Power for the deliverance of humanity. Indeed our families, our communities and the society, are all waiting for our manifestation.
Jesus shed His Blood to redeem humanity from the oppressions of the devil. 2,000 years ago He cried on the cross, “It is finished!”. And as believers today, we are God’s agents of deliverance to establish this victory Christ won on Calvary for humanity’s benefit.
Salvation is not an escape route to heaven, it is our seal of dominion on the earth. As long as you are born again you have what it takes to bring deliverance to your environment.
However, our level of manifestation will be a function of the degree of God’s power at work in us.
The world is not waiting for the manifestation of children, but for the manifestation of sons.
This is why we must take responsibility to grow spiritually. It is through the greatness of God’s power manifesting through us that every enemy will submit. Let us therefore in this season, begin to pay the required spiritual price to grow in knowledge and power, so that God’s divine agenda for the deliverance of mankind will indeed begin to manifest through us.
PRAYER; Lord, Please enable me to pay the required price to grow in power and spiritual maturity. As I align to Your divine agenda, thank You for manifesting Your power mightily through me in this season in Jesus Name.
