16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

MEMORY VERSE:
”For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. . ” –1 Corinthians 4:20
MOTIVATIONAL
QUOTE:
Christianity,
the Church and believers are all supernatural entities!
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I DECREE THAT YOU SHALL NOT BE POWERLESS AND HELPLESS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
THE MESSAGE:
The
events that characterise our world today have clearly shown that the
whole world is in desperate need of the power of God to rescue it
from the constant assaults of evil the enemy is hauling on mankind.
These include: ravaging pestilences and plagues, including COVID-19
and other diseases, terrorism and insurgency, increase in occult
practices and ritual killing, food shortage, hunger and extreme
poverty, inter-tribal wars and so on. It is disheartening to note
that believers and the Church of God, who the world look up to, are
also endangered and caught in the web of these crises. Why is this
so? Powerlessness!

In Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." He meant that believers are called to demonstrate the power of the Living God over the devil, his demons and all their destructive work. Anything short of this will make the believer fall short of God's expectation. I strongly advise you to get rid of agents of powerlessness in your life: personal and corporate sin, unbelief, doubt and divine judgement, among others.

A
powerless Moses wouldn't have been able to confront Pharaoh, subdue
the powers of Egypt and bring the matchless power of God to bear in
burying Pharaoh, his soldiers and chariots in the Red Sea. He
wouldn't have succeeded in ending the 430 years of slavery, not to
talk of leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Without God's power in
the life of Elijah, he wouldn't have succeeded in challenging and
defeating the prophets of Baal nor turn the hearts of Israel back to
God. A powerless, lukewarm or cold believer or church cannot achieve
a global harvest of souls for Christ in these last days. One of the
responsibilities attached to our calling as believers is to
demonstrate the love of God and the power of His gospel to mankind.
How well are you discharging these responsibilities?
Beloved,
for the Church to transmit God's power to this powerless world, you
and I must be ready to be spiritual power generators and conductors.
We must be filled with the Holy Ghost and Fire.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. I
kill the power of personal and corporate sin in my life, by the
power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
2. I overcome
unbelief by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of
Jesus.
3. Spirit of doubt, I bind and cast you out of my life, in
the name of Jesus.
EVENING
4.
Father, cast the spirit of powerlessness out of Your Church, in the
name of Jesus.
5. O God, arise and deliver the Church from cold
and lukewarm spirits, in the name of Jesus.
6. Father, restore
Your power and fire to the Church, in the name of Jesus.
7. Holy
Spirit, give me a fresh personal Pentecost experience, in the name
of Jesus.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
