SEE THE POWER
Dag Heward-Mills

READ: 2 Kings 5:1-16
...no man can do these miracles that thou doest, exce pt God b e with him.
John 3:2


Jesus was someone who went around eating with sinners, He was despised by the religious authorities of the day, and His followers were fishermen. Few rich men, if any, joined the fold. Large numbers of women followed Jesus, ministering to Him. All these and many more would lead to great questions about the greatness of Jesus Christ. It would be quite easy to miss the power of God on Jesus Christ. If you do not have eyes of the anointing you could easily join those who crucified him. Yet, Nicodemus had eyes to see the power of God at work in the Son of God. Often it is outsiders who recognize the anointed when he is operating in a subtle or casual anointing. Nicodemus told Jesus, “No one could do this unless God was with him.”
Elisha was a truly casual prophet. He did not desire greatness and was not interested in gaining favours with commanders of foreign armies. A little maid recognized the anointing and pointed out to the great commander, Naaman that there was a casual prophet called Elisha who could heal him of his disease. But Elisha did not even bother to show Naaman certain courtesies. He stayed indoors and sent a message to Naaman. “Go and have a bath in a river Jordan.” Today, many people miss the anointing for the same reason that Naaman almost did. How unexciting Elisha must have been to onlookers. And yet there was great power being manifested through the ministry of Elisha. Do not miss the power of God because of its bland and non-spectacular nature."

PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON JESUS' FINISHED WORK - PS JOSEPH PRINCE

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” In ot

“Though the mountains be shaken and the   hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not   be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,”   says the   Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10,  NIV I want to give you a simple but critical truth. Memorize this truth. Feed on it. Let it take root in your spirit and become an anchor in your life. You will never be the same again. Are you ready? Here it goes: As a child of God, no matter what happens in your life, your Father in heaven loves you dearly and nothing you do can ever change that. Will you believe that today? Whether you are going through good times or facing challenging times, you need to know that your Abba loves you. There is nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you more, and nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you less. Even—or perhaps  especially —when you feel like you have failed, know that you will  always  be the apple of His eye.  Always . God loves you with an eve
