[Luke 24:45-49 KJV] “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, [46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: [47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. [48] And ye are witnesses of these things. [49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high”.
The secret of the early church is power. They waited in the city until they were endued with power from on high. The early church knew that without power from above, they were vulnerable. They needed the power to function and operate.
The early church walked in the power of the Holy Ghost. Indeed, this was the reason why they did not fulfill the desires of the flesh. The early church walked by the Spirit. They knew and walked with the Holy Ghost, and most of them walked in the dominion of the name of Christ.
Where is the power in today’s church? Even our preaching comes with the enticing words of a man’s wisdom, instead of the demonstration of the Spirit and power. I pray that the Lord shall lead us into the closet of prayer once again. The Lord has always desired that we shall be a church that is endued with power. We cannot win, except by power. The power will set us apart and make us take charge.
We must wait until we are endued with power from on high. The world is not sympathetic at all, so we must learn to walk in dominion. The days have come when the world fights the church and everything Christian. But you must not fail this generation. Power was the secret of the early church and we cannot do otherwise. We must crave and wait for the power. The Holy Spirit is the key to growth and crowd. Be blessed!
I love you;
