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

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Bless The Lord, O my Soul

Bless the Lord, O my Soul. Reference- Ps 103:1-2 One of the greatest expressions of gratitude David shared is found in Psalm 103. Despite the long list of blessings from God, it became a benchmark and milestone for him and for us. In every occasion and opportunity, we must bless Him for restoration, healing, answered prayers, renewed strength, forgiveness of sins, and more. The list is endless because He is a marvellous God.  The confidence confession from David, recorded in Acts 2, says, “Because He goes before me and is at my right hand, I will not fear anymore.” Living a life of blessing Him draws us closer to Him, allowing us to recognize and feel His presence all around us. This is something that can only be experienced, not explained. That’s why believers around the world use this scripture in their fellowship, either at the beginning or end of their gatherings, to bless Him. Eliezer, Abraham’s servant, blessed Him for helping to find Rebecca for Isaac. Jethro blessed Him for...
