Peter-1 4:11. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.’
DAILY READING • 1 Thessalonians 4; Isaiah 20-22; Psalm 115
In 1924, pioneer Assemblies of God missionary to China, W. W. Simpson and fellow missionary Florence Hanson were in Shanghai for the purpose of printing a Chinese-language hymnal.
Their business trip quickly turned into a spiritual awakening and unplanned revival, when a sick person they prayed for instantly got healed. When the news spread, residents clamored to find out what had happened.
Soon local Christians organized services, where the missionaries preached and many people were saved, healed and baptized in the Holy Spirit. One of the first people swept up in this move of God was Mrs. Ching. She was the sister to Dr. Wang Yun Wu who was a leading Chinese Scholar and notable atheist at the time.
Mrs. Ching , not only was baptized in the Holy Spirit, but God also corrected her eyesight! For 10 years she had been dependent upon her eyeglasses for daily life and for her writing duties at the Commercial Press, a large publishing house where her brother, Dr. Wang, served as editor-in-chief.
Mrs. Ching’s healing so astounded her family that her brother, Dr. Wang asked to speak to the missionaries who had prayed for her. After the Gospel was also preached to Dr. Wang, he explained to the missionary that he was a strict Confucianist, who did not believe in God, but he said he was forced by seeing his sister’s miracle to admit that indeed there must be a living and a true God. That day, Dr. Wang abandoned atheism and accepted the deity of Christ. He went on to become a noted scholar of history and served as Vice Premier of the Republic of China (Taiwan) from 1958 to 1963.
The two Assemblies of God missionaries had only gone to Shanghai to print a book, but the power of God suddenly manifested through them to bring revival into that town.
Wherever we go, we are to bring glory to God, through the demonstrations of His power in our lives. When men see the mighty manifestation of the Spirit of God, generating exceptional testimonies through us, they will be drawn to Christ.
Today, people are hungry to see the manifestation of power. Our speaking mere words alone will not convince them, they need to see proofs and powerful demonstrations! People are so desperate for solutions to their many problems that they will willingly follow whoever seems to have an answer.
All over the world, there are people who are facing incurable health issues, insurmountable financial challenges, troubles in their homes, families, businesses, etc. These situations are opportunities for us, as believers, to let men see the power of our God demonstrated. Through us there should be revival, deliverance, healings and positive transformations in our families, communities and nations.
We must understand that Christianity is not just a mere religion, it is for the demonstration of God’s power on the earth.
1Corinthians 2:4 says ‘the kingdom of God is not in words, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power!’
As the redeemed of the Lord, we are meant to be living and walking in the supernatural, manifesting God’s power wherever we go.
In our homes, families, communities, offices, we have the responsibility of being solution providers through manifesting miracles signs and wonders.
This is why we cannot continue to live mundane lives, but rather accept the spiritual responsibility of diligently seeking God until His power rests upon our lives.
Power will come when we maintain a lifestyle of purity, fervent prayers, study of the Word and passionate praise. The more time we spend with the Spirit of God in fellowship and worship, the more His power will flow through us to bring healings to the hurting world and cause men to glorify our Father in Heaven.
PRAYER: Father, please enable me to always live a spiritually fervent life so that my light will so greatly shine before men, that they will see my good works and continually glorify Your holy Name in Jesus Name.
