PREFERENCE FOR POWER
TEXT: ACTS 3:6-10
MEMORY VERSE: “Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (ACTS 3:6).
In everyday life, the word ‘power’ has a wide range of meanings. In physics, however, it has a very specific meaning. It is a measure of the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. Electricity power, for example, enables our electrical and electronic gadgets to work. Just as power is needed in our daily life, so it is in our spiritual life, especially for youths who want to do extraordinary things for God. According to Warren W. Wiersbe, “It is futile for us to try to serve God without the power of the Holy Spirit. Talent, training and experience cannot take the place of the power of the Spirit.”
Like the young David and Bezaleel, you need the Holy Ghost power for exploits. The disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ had to wait for the power from on high. When it came, the first message Peter preached brought about three thousand souls to the Lord. After salvation and sanctification, you should thirst and pray for the Holy Ghost power. Believers should prefer the Spirit power to anything else.
QUOTE: Thirst and pray for the Holy Ghost power.
CHALLENGE: Pray and receive power for exploits.
PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to tarry for the Holy Ghost power.
