Psalm 103:11 [AMP] ‘For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].’

Dwight L. Moody was one of the greatest evangelists of the 19th Century.
Surprisingly he had no formal theological training and was somewhat illiterate. Yet this ordinary man was mightily used by God to affect the world.
Dwight Moody was born into a poor family. He was only four years old when his father died and his mother was left to struggle to support the family.
As Dwight grew older, he gave his life to Christ and sought to live a life that pleased God..
In 1872, he attended a meeting in Dublin, Ireland. In the meeting, he heard a Pastor make this statement, “The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man, who is fully and wholly consecrated to him.”
Somehow, this statement greatly moved Dwight and took a hold of him. The next Sunday, he attended a Church service and listened to one of the greatest pastors of the time, Charles Spurgeon.
Again, Moody was haunted by the statement he had earlier heard; “The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man, who is fully and wholly consecrated to him.”
He then understood that Charles Spurgeon was being mightily used by God because of his dedication to His purpose.
Moody then took a definite decision that by the help of the Holy Spirit, he also would become wholly consecrated to God.
After dedicating himself to that high purpose, he was filled with such joy, that he began to weep. From then on, the hunger for more spiritual power was upon him. He began to seek God with great fervency until he had a definite encounter where he was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s hand came upon his life.
As a result of this encounter, D. L. Moody began to mightily display the power of God in his ministry. Indeed God did extraordinary things through this ordinary man and turned him into one of the greatest evangelists of modern times.
Truly, revelations will lead to revolutions in our lives.
Everyone God has used mightily has always been a man or woman who made the definite decision to be wholly consecrated and dedicated to God.
It doesn’t matter how ordinary or mediocre anyone’s life may be, the choice to wholly seek God will transform that destiny.
2 Chronicles 16:9 says “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.”
God is always looking out for those whose hearts are fully yielded to His purpose. God will use them to do exploits and overflow their lives with His blessings..
It is often said ‘no one knows tomorrow’, but the man that fears the Lord can be certain to end well in life and is guaranteed a glorious future.
Psalms 37:37 says “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace”.
The man who walks uprightly, in the fear of the Lord, will live a settled life because God Is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.
If we desire to see our lives make extraordinary impacts in our generation, then we must be willing to walk in the fear and reverence of the Lord. This requires commitment to a lifestyle of fervent prayers, purity, study of the Word and fellowship with the Spirit.
Certainly, those who make such spiritual deposits, are those who can make withdrawals of miracles, signs and wonders.
The truth is that every man is limited to the extent of his spiritual commitment. Therefore let us accept spiritual responsibility so that our lives can become living proofs of God’s wonder-working power.
As we decide to go deeper and seek God with greater fervency, we will begin to see supernatural turnarounds, miraculous healings, breakthroughs and eruption of great revival in our midst. Through the great manifestation of God’s Power in our lives, we will accomplish great things for God and stand out in our generation
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for igniting fresh fire and fervency in me. Please help me to pay the necessary spiritual price so that I can experience an eruption of Your power and miracles in my life in Jesus Name
