IMPARTATION SERVICE – 18TH NOVEMBER 2018 ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): GENESIS 32:24-28 MESSAGE TOPIC: THE WAY TO SPIRITUAL POWER BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE
SERVICE OBJECTIVE: Understanding the way to spiritual power THINGS TO NOTE: 1. The power of God is a most vital necessity for the child of God 2. The power of God is desired by many but never experienced by many 3. Salvation is free but spiritual power attracts some demands THE DEMANDS OF THE POWER OF GOD: 1. Total consecration (Gen. 32:24-28; Acts 2:1; 1 Kings 17:1; Ps. 24:3-5; Isa. 59:1-2; 2 Cor. 6:14-18) i. ‘And Jacob was left alone…’ was the beginning of Jacob’s journey into power (Gen. 32:24-28) ii. The Apostles were separated from all else but God, then power fell (Acts 2:1-5) 1a. Total Consecration means separation from every habit or lifestyle that keeps us out of God’s Presence (1Kings 17:1; Ps. 24:3-5; Isa. 59:1-2) 1b. Total Consecration means separation from every association or relationship that keeps us away from God (2Cor. 6:14-18) 2. Desperate desire (Gen. 32:24-28; Acts 2:1-5; Ps. 63:1-2; Hos. 6:3; Phil. 3:10) i. Jacob through desperate desire secured power with God (Gen. 32:24-28) ii. Through desperate desire the apostles in the upper room tarried with God until they were endued with power (Acts 2:1-5) 2a. Desperate desire is desire for God and His Presence (Ps. 63:1-2; Hos. 6:3; Phil. 3:10) Anything you do more than what you do for God becomes a god in your life 2b. Desperate desire is desire and passion for the fullness of God’s Power; it is the rejection of the status quo (Phil. 3:10; Ps. 63:1-2) 3. Intense supplication (Gen. 32:24-28; Acts 4:31, 33; Matt. 6:9-10; Isa. 62:1-2, 6-7; Ps. 63:1-2; Phil. 3:10) i. Jacob, at the point of intense wrestling in prayer, passed from pressure to power ii. The apostles, experienced unusual power that materialised into explosive signs and wonders at the place of prayer (Acts 4:31, 33) 3a. Intense supplication involves praying and supplicating wholeheartedly for the establishment of God’s authority in the earth (Matt. 6:9-10; Isa. 62:1-2, 6-7) 3b. Intense supplication involves praying and demanding for personal spiritual power (Ps. 63:1-2; Phil. 3:10) 4. Absolute surrender (Gen. 32:24-28; Exo. 3:5; 4:17) i. Jacob had to surrender his strength before connecting power from God (Gen. 32:25) ii. Moses had to put off his shoes which was a sign of surrender then he secured power with God to go and deliver the Israelites (Ex. 2:5; 4:17) 4a. Absolute surrender is the yielding of man’s will to the Will and plan of God (Luke 22:42; Acts 21:14) 4b. Absolute surrender is the yielding of man’s effort, strength and ability to the Almightiness of God (Eccl. 9:11; Rom. 9:16; Zech. 4:6)Also Read: The Products of God’s Power by Pastor Paul Enenche
5. Intense Word Insight (Eccl. 8:4; John 1:1-5; Acts 19:11-12; 20:32; 2Pet. 1:3-4; Dan. 11:32; Hos. 6:3) i. Jesus Christ our Saviour was the Word of God personified and he moved in the realm of power that could not be quantified (John 1:1-5) ii. Paul the Apostle was an apostle of power and an embodiment of the Word and he moved in the realm of power (Acts 19:11-12) 5a. Intense Word Insight is the knowledge of God – Who He is and what He can do; it explodes people in Power (Dan. 11:32; Hos. 6:3) 5b. Intense Word Insight is the knowledge of our rights, privileges and inheritance in God especially as it pertains to spiritual power and authority (Acts 20:32; 2 Pet. 1:3-4) 6. Vibrancy in the Holy Ghost (2 Tim. 1:7) i. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost was an initiation into power for the Apostles (Acts 1:8) ii. Paul the Apostle of power was a man of the Spirit (Eph. 5:18; Acts 19:11-12) 6a. Praying and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit intensifies spiritual power (Acts 4:31,33; 2Tim. 1:6-7) 6b. Following the guidance and direction of the Spirit is following the pathway of sonship and power (Rom. 8:14, 1:4) CONCLUSION: 1. God does not release His power carelessly, He releases His power for those who meet the demands (Hos. 6:3) 2. God’s power is not cheap to access but it is more than worth the cost at the end of the day PRAYERS Father, I am here before You to experience Your power and Your anointing, in Jesus’ Name Father, I come before You at the place of prayer and absolute surrender to walk in Your power, in Jesus’ Name.
