Psalm 66:3 ‘Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee’.

DAILY READING; • Matthew 5:21-48; Exodus 30-32; Proverbs 14

John C. Wengatz was a pioneer missionary to Africa for 42 years, serving in Liberia, Angola, and the Congo during the early 1900’s.
In his book, ‘Miracles in Black’, Dr. Wengatz tells of an African convert, Joao Mbaxi who was appointed to head a new mission station in a hostile town.
When Joao began preaching the Gospel in this region, for many months the rains refused to fall, leaving the people in a lot of hunger and suffering.
The rulers of the town then began to blame Joao for the woe that had befallen them saying it was because of “the white man’s God” Joao was preaching. As a result they asked Joao to leave the town. However Joao courageously refused to go. Their chief then challenged Joao, saying that if his God was as powerful as he claimed then He should send them rain, he told Joao that if it didn’t rain by sunrise of the next day, Joao would be killed.
Though it was a frightful challenge, Joao recalled the biblical account of Elijah. He then went into his hut and prayed through the night asking for God’s divine intervention. As the dawn approached the Chief got ready to give the order for Joao to be killed.
However, just before daylight, thunder was heard in the distance and lightning began to flash across the sky. In a short while rain began to fall in abundance upon the ground. The people were indeed astonished at the mighty power of the God Joao served. As a result, his life was spared, many of the people believed and the work of God greatly flourished in that region.

Psalm 66:3 says ‘Say unto God, How terrible art Thou in Thy works! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies submit themselves unto Thee’.

Indeed through the greatness of God’s power we are to subdue the challenges of the enemy. Through the application of superior might, we can conquer the things that confront us.
Through the manifestation of God’s power, we will dominate our environment and truly rule in the midst of our enemies.
The truth is that we need power in this wicked world to stay alive and to stay victorious.
The kingdom of God is not in words but in power. And especially in the perilous times that we live in today, we cannot afford to be spiritual weaklings.
Power is a non-negotiable requirement for every believer in these end-times. This is because the only language the enemy understands is the language of power, he does not respect title or wealth, but only power! It is through the greatness of God’s power that the enemy submits and bows.
Therefore we must take the responsibility to live spiritually empowered. This we do through diligent study of the Scriptures, having times that we fast, pray, and minister to God in worship.
Indeed as believers in this era, power is an absolute necessity. The Gospel we preach should not be in the enticing words of men’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power. Therefore let us determine to seek God until we experience His power fully at work in our lives.
Through the manifestation of God’s power we will silence every opposition and truly dominate as the sons of God on the earth.

PRAYER: Father, please grant me the grace to pay the required price to manifest Your power in my life. May I not miss my place in Your end time move upon the earth in Jesus’ Name.
