TOPIC: LIVING IN KINGDOM SERVICE: A SECRET OF POWER WITH GOD
Living in Kingdom service is key to accessing the power of God.
SCRIPTURE: And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. Luke 10:17.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Living in Kingdom service is key to accessing the power of God.
In our earlier studies, we saw the power God was given to us to tread over the devil.
It is one thing to know that God has given you power, and it is another thing altogether to access and function in that power. What then is the secret of accessing this power? What is the key to accessing the power of God?
Today we shall explore one of these secrets to accessing the power of God, and that is:
Living in Kingdom service
The seventy returned from where they went for Kingdom assignment. They returned from evangelism. They returned from the service of preaching the gospel where Jesus Christ sent them. And their return was with power.
Now, this is the point: the promise to give them power to tread over serpents and scorpion in Luke 10:19 was made to them while they were in active service of soul winning. So, to access and manifest the power of God, you must live in Kingdom service.
In Luke chapter ten and in verse one, Jesus sent the seventy to preach the gospel of the Kingdom, and in the seventeenth verse, they returned with the testimony of how the devil bowed before them in His Name. Then He told them something like, “The devil was subject to you because you went out in the Kingdom service of soul winning.”(paraphrased). He gave them power at first to go out and cast out the devil in Luke 10:1-2 and then, they returned with testimonies.
Beloved, make up your mind to live in Kingdom service especially the service of soul winning. There is nothing that touches the Heart of God like touching the lives of people by preaching the message of hope and salvation to them. There is nothing that releases the power of God on you like the assignment of winning souls for God.
Living in Kingdom service is key to accessing the power of God.
