Many of us have been wondering why we have not received the power after the Holy Ghost came upon us as promised in Acts 1:8. The answer is simple; we have taken only the first step towards power but not haven’t yet taken the subsequent steps towards power.
[Luke 4:1-2,13-15 KJV] “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, [2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.”
[13] “And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. [14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.”
The four simple steps to the power of the spirit are Baptism, yieldedness, faithfulness, and ministry. If you really want to walk in the corridors of power.
- Be baptised
- By yielded
- Be faithful
- Be on the go
The Bible teaches that we “shall receive power the Holy Ghost is come upon” us. The outpouring is the first step towards power. When you are baptised in the Holy Ghost, you receive the seed to power. You receive that seed that will lead to the birth of power.
The second secret is to be yielded to the Spirit. The Holy Ghost cannot empower a person who will not be yielded to His leading. Our Lord Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit, He followed the leading of the spirit, and stepped out in power. You also must be led by the Spirit if you want to walk in power.
The third secret is to be faithful. Our Lord Jesus Christ was led to the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. He was not led there to fast or pray. He was led there to be tempted. If you want superior power, then be faithful. Onto whomever you yield your members to, his slaves you are. You cannot overpower someone you serve.
[Romans 6:16 KJV] “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
Finally, return and minister faithfully. Our Lord Jesus Christ returned and ministered faithfully in the temples and synagogues and markets. “He that is faithful in little shall be trusted with much”. I know that as you use the little that you have been given much shall be added to you.
You will surely walk in the corridors of power when you engage with these truths.
I love you!
