God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power

Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG - God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!!

In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power.

It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion.

Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical. It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why he said he’d rather gain Christ and lose the world—WORD versus WORLD. It’s about deeper dependence on His Word, His presence, His power, and His empowered life. This draws us closer to the power of the Holy Spirit, the Dunamis. After all, we may have ten thousand teachers in faith, but we need spiritual guardians. We may look like misfits, fools, considered weak, small, despised, hungry, and thirsty for Christ’s sake—and that’s the difference.

Those Spiritual Fathers will share how to recognize God's Kingdom and His ways in our weakness, for it’s then we are made strong by His power—that’s God’s way. In sickness, we are healed; in poverty, we are made wealthy; in times of curse, Christ empowers us with His deliverance. Our reputation may be at risk, but God changes our destination when we depend on Him. In trials and uncertainties, He is the solid and firm foundation—stepping in when nothing seems possible, turning dead situations into miracles and God-blessed testimonies. When we rely on Him, His way brings favour, assurance, confirmation, healing, and complete wholeness.

Dear Father, we know Your Kingdom is power, and Your ways are wonderful; enabling us to share the Light with others as You have intended. Thank You for letting Your power flow through us to nourish others; thank You for Your light shining in our hearts, minds, and souls. Let us be Your channel to carry Your presence, bringing deliverance and guidance to others. Help us to humble ourselves before You and empty ourselves so You can fill us afresh, as needed for Feb 26. Let us be a living example, revealed by Your power and ways in our lives, to fulfil the purpose and Kingdom principles You designed. Go before us to straighten, level, fill, and smooth the path we pursue. We want to show more of You in our lives, not just through words or appearances. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London

Was and Now

Was and Now Ephesians 2:7–10 (MSG) Now God has us where HE wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower Grace and Kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all His idea, and all his work. All we do is trust HIM enough to let HIM do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join Him in the work He does, the good work He has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing!! Paul describes two themes from this chapter- 1) Death to Live 2) Division to Unity - It tells us who we were and who we now are — and the distance between those two is entirely the work of Grace. we were dead, Paul says, not struggling or striving, but dead — and yet "God, being rich in mercy," made you alive together with Christ. That word "together...

Call to Purpose

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 29Aug2025 CALL to PURPOSE Scripture Reference: 1 Sam 3 This scripture highlights the remarkable journey of young Samuel, who matures into Prophet Samuel and guides the nation of Israel in alignment with the Lord's divine plan.  The Boy Samuel was attending, ministering, helping the service under the supervision of Eli. This is an arrangement intentionally made by the Lord for the boy to be guided by the elder Eli. This arrangement helped Samuel recognize and understand God's calling when he was hearing it to break the cycle of silence, rare revelation of the divine truth and very very few, infrequence messages from the Lord. This is the secret that I learned over the years. God's Presence is everywhere. When we align with Him for His purpose that He intended to do, a new connection, a guidance, a calling will be given to respond. When we respond to the Lord's Voice, submit to His purpose, anything can happen. Amen!. It can be respectful...

Elisha Passed the Test

Elisha Passed the Test Ref 2 Kg 2:1-14 This scripture tells of the transitional journey Elijah and Elisha shared—walking and talking together. There was a push and pull, but in the end, determination prevailed. What are we willing to cross over for? If you asked Elisha, he would say everything, with all his might. He had watched Elijah closely over the years, never panicking but following with God’s peace alongside his master. Even when Elijah asked him to stay behind while he ran an errand as instructed by God, he refused to leave his side. He remained determined, persistent, loyal, collaborative, and eagerly anticipating this moment. In various significant places, such as the pushback, Gilgal (rolling away our shame), Bethel (where God is revealed), Jericho (walls falling), and the Jordan (crossing over), each holds its own unique meaning. We can relate these moments to our lives and give thanks to God for guiding us through overcoming Gilgal, experiencing Bethel, witnessing the fall...
