Jeremiah 29:13-14 ‘‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity’

DAILY READING – Matthew 17; Numbers 3-4; Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:16

Asa Alonzo Allen was one of the most important revivalists to emerge during the Voice of Healing revival that took place in the 1950’s.
A.A Allen held massive tent revivals and healing crusades, where there were many amazing manifestations of the Spirit. He built a far-reaching worldwide ministry, comprising an international radio program, Bible school and ministry training center, as well as overseas missions programs.
However these mighty manifestations in Allen’s ministry only came about because he became willing to pay the price for power.
When Allen first started out in ministry he came to realize that to encounter God’s power, he needed to separate himself in fasting and prayer to seek God’s face. But though his spirit was willing, his flesh was weak, and he had great difficulty in following through with fasting.
One day he decided to go on a long personal fast, but after a few hours he became hungry and decided to prematurely break the fast. But as he sat down to eat, while the first spoonful was in his mouth, the Holy Spirit strongly convicted him to stop eating and complete the fast. Repenting, he went back to his prayer closet and told his wife to lock him in and not to open the door until the prayer was over. He stayed there for several hours. In the course of the prayer he had a divine visitation from God and from that encounter he received the power to heal the sick and cast out devils. And thus began the mighty manifestations of power that led to his outstanding ministry. God used him to usher in a mighty move of the Spirit that swept the nation with powerful miracles, signs and wonders.

Indeed the power of God is desired by many but only experienced by the few who pay the price for it. As believers we are required to pay the price to see the manifestation of God’s power in our lives. The entire world is waiting for our manifestation; not our explanations.
And to encounter power we must be willing to pay the price of separation. Through desperate desire, the apostles separated themselves in the upper room and tarried there in prayers until God endued them with power (Acts 2:1-5)
Especially in these last days, we need unction to function. Anyone who must fulfill destiny must be empowered because to every open door, there is an adversary. And the forces of darkness have no respect for your title, education or background; they only fear the power of God at work in your life. It is through the greatness of God’s power in you that every enemy submits. Certainly, the kingdom of God is not in words but in power. Therefore let us go for power! Let us determine, to seek God until we begin to experience tangible manifestations of His power in our lives.

God said in Jeremiah 29:13-14 ‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity’

Indeed when we seek God with all our heart we will find Him. And when we find Him there shall be a rewards and our expectations shall not be cut off. And in this season as we separate ourselves in prayer to seek God, let us determine to experience a fresh encounter with His power. Surely, according to His power at work in us, God will do for us exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask, think or imagine. [Ephesians 3:20].

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to pay the price of separating myself unto You so as to encounter Your Power. Please deliver me from every distraction and enable me to daily draw closer to You, so as to experience victory in every area of my life in Jesus Name.
