John 1:12

‘for as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become sons of God

• DAILY READING        Matthew 25; 31-46; Numbers 32-34; Job 2

Former US President John F. Kennedy, in 1962 made a famous speech championing efforts to go to the Moon. In this speech he compared the power of a rocket to the power generated when “10,000 cars are being driven at such extreme speed that their accelerators are pushed to the floor.’ That is indeed great power! And it is through such great force that a rocket is able to launch into space. In science ‘escape velocity’ is the speed an object needs to break away or escape from the pull of gravity.

On the earth, the force of gravity pulls everything downward. Therefore for any object to go up, it needs great speed and a huge amount of energy to escape this pull of gravity.

The same holds true spiritually; to go up, we need great power. In other words, the power pulling us up, has to be greater than the force pushing us down.

It is only by the exercise of great power that we can overcome the forces of the enemy. Psalm 66:3  says “Through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemy submit themselves unto thee.”

Indeed life is a warfare. And it is our power level that determines our level of dominion. The greater your power, the more you can dominate.

To fly high on the eagle’s flight, we need supernatural empowerment. And Supernatural empowerment answers to our study of The Word of God and an effectual prayer life.

In Acts 6:4 the disciples declared “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.” And the effect of this was that power kept on erupting, resulting in miracles, signs ad wonders!

We are in the last days which are the days of God’s power. As such, every child of God is empowered to operate in the realms of supernatural exploits. John 1:12 says ‘for as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become sons of God.’

With salvation comes a level of power, but we need to keep increasing that power, because the battles of life are getting hotter everyday. In the school of power, power is in degrees.

Though, Jesus was anointed without measure, yet He kept going to the mountain of prayer to increase His power.

We increase our power through a strong prayer life and study of The Word of God.

It is our depth in the Word that determines our level of dominion. You can’t dominate the world until you are dominated by God through His Word. Staying in the word of God will make you to be on top of the world. To fly high, we must therefore determine to pay the required price of spending time in The Word of God and maintaining a fervent prayer life.

PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me a renewed desire for Your Word and prayer, so that I can be empowered to fly to the great heights You have ordained for me this year in Jesus Name.
