Text 1 Cor. 4:20
Life in the kingdom is miserable without empowerment.
There is power going forth as the Word is going on. – Matt. 8:8
The kingdom answers to power. – Acts 1:8, 2:3
Empowerment is a personal requirement and responsibility.
God wants you empowered so you can subdue your enemies. – John 14:12
Life is a battlefield, not a playground.
It takes empowerment to triumph in spite of principalities.
When a lion goes to sleep, it doesn’t become a sheep, so also, your spirit man should remain strong even while you sleep.
The oil in someone else’s lamp cannot light your lamp, you need to get yours.
Levels of Power
1. Power. – John 7:37-39
2. Great power. – Acts 4:33
3. Exceeding great power. – Eph. 1:19
New birth is the take-off point for empowerment and the fear of God is the start of it.
Why You Need to be Empowered
1. For triumphant living towards fulfilling your glorious destiny. – Luke 22:31
2. For sanctification which enables access to your inheritance in Christ. – 1 Cor. 6:11, Acts 20:32
Empowerment begins with consecration. – Luke 5:37, Prov. 1:23
Your inheritance in Christ is delivered and accessible on the platform of sanctification.
3. For sustainable access to revelation. – Isa. 60:1-3, 1 John 2:20, 2 Pet. 1:3
4. For an effectual fervent prayer life. – Matt. 26:14. Rom. 8:26-27
5. To empower your giving life. – 2 Cor. 8:3
6. For protection and preservation. -Eph. 4:30
Seeking power so you can be famous and acknowledged by people is a futile endeavour.
You cannot partake of the Holy Ghost without a heart for God.
A heart for God entitles you to a continuous flow of fresh oil.
Prayer without the Word is like fire without wood.
Requirements For Empowerment
1. A thirst for it. – Isa. 55:1; 41:17, Ps. 63:1
2. A right heart and motive. – Acts 8:18-21
Empowerment is for your enthronement and enthronement is for your command. – Ps. 110:2
3. A heart for God and the interest of His kingdom. – 1 Sam 17:23, Ps. 89:20
Without a heart to serve, you are not a candidate for empowerment.
You are empowered to serve God’s interest, not yours.
Sustainable empowerment is for stewardship.
You cannot sustain the power without sustaining the service.
4. Commitment to the continuous study of the word. – Prov. 8:20, Lev. 6:12-13
Maintain your joy and you will retain the flow of power.
