1 Kings 18:46 [AMP] ‘Then the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah [giving him supernatural strength]. He [a]girded up his loins and outran Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles].
DAILY READING; John 10:22-42; 2 Chronicles 9; Psalm 74
Dr. Charles S. Price was one of the outstanding Healing Evangelists during the first half of the twentieth century.
He was brought to prominence in ministry through the fire he contacted from the famous evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson.
In 1921, Charles S. Price was pastoring a small congregation in California, when Aimee Semple McPherson came to their town to hold a revival service.
Due to the negative things he had heard about her, Charles Price believed she was a fraud and only attended the meetings in a bid to find what to use to expose her to the townspeople.
When Price arrived at the revival service which was packed with 6,000 people, he was surprised to find that McPherson’s sermon was thoroughly Biblical and compelling. When he witnessed the mighty display of the power of God through diverse healings and miracles, he quickly became convinced of her genuineness.
He was so impacted that by the next day, notwithstanding that he was a pastor, he answered the Altar call and quickly went to the altar to repent of his pride and prejudice.
At the meeting, Price was baptized in the Holy Spirit and the fire he contacted soon spread to his congregation until their once spiritually cold church soon became a center for revival in the region. Charles Price went on to ultimately became one of the best-known Pentecostal evangelists of the twentieth century.
Dr. Charles S. Price rose from a small town pastor to a prominent figure in Church history due to contact with the Spirit of God.
A real encounter with the Spirit will bring fire and power into our lives that will trigger divine acceleration. When the Spirit of God takes control, you find yourself caught up in a divine move that shifts your circumstances, removes obstacles and commands progress.
The hand of God upon a man releases divine grace that makes the real difference in his race.
We saw in I Kings 18:46, how Elisha outran horses and chariots because of God’s hand that came upon him.
Likewise, when God’s hand comes upon a man’s life, that life begins to experience supernatural progress and moves from obscurity to prominence.
A real encounter with God is what opens doors of progress in every other area of our lives. This is why we must refuse to be lukewarm Christians but rather constantly seek after fresh fire through a lifestyle of prayers, worship and in-depth study of God’s Word.
We need the blazing fire of the Holy Ghost to overcome the forces of darkness that try to hinder our progress.
When you are spiritually on fire, you become a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. The light emitting from you will cause you to stand out wherever you go, and the anointing upon your life will announce you to your world.
Therefore let us continually seek a fresh encounter with God because that is what will ignite an unstoppable momentum that will propel us upward to greater heights.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me today a fresh encounter with Your Word that will generate divine speed and acceleration in my life. Thank You Lord for opening to me doors to greater visibility and prominence in Jesus Name.
