The word power is derived from the Greek word translated “Dunamis”. Dunamis means: Might, Power Strength.
It means force, Might, Physical Power, Powerful Deeds, Deeds showing (Physical Power, Marvelous Works).
The term “Power” is the ability to “Do”, “ Perform”, the ability to achieve by applying God’s inherent abilities.
The Power of Jesus is the Expression if the Dunamic abilities of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said in Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
That Power does proceeds after the infilling and indwelling of a greater force, "The descending of the Holy Spirit". The descending of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, was first experienced evidentially by Jesus in form of a Dove.
Jesus could not begin his work until he was endued with Power from on high. The Power of Jesus is the Spirit of Might expressed in every believer in deliverance from the law of “Sin” and “Death” Romans 8:2.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
It is the power of Resurrection. Romans 8:11,
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
John 11:25-26.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
The Power of Jesus is God’s Spirit activated in Jesus. The bible declares in
Philippians 2:9-10.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Interestingly, the Power of Jesus was activated at the completion of his work on the Cross, Death and Resurrection. The Power in the name Jesus was not activated by the Holy Spirit until after the completion of the assignment. Thus God has highly exalted Him and has given Him a Name above every other name.
Thus when we call on the Name Jesus, the spiritual and the physical realm responds to it. The name commands respect, authority, power, strength and might.
The Power of Jesus causes sickness, diseases, affliction etc to disappear, it renders the power of darkness entirely helpless. It is the Power of Jesus that mediates and utters groanies that cannot be uttered Romans 8:26.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
It is the Power of the Name that connects us to God.
Today, Let’s strive to lay hold of this Authority invested in our Saviour Jesus Christ. You can change everything, every situation in your life by applying this power in your life. God’s expectation is that we exhibit our Godly power to its fullness in earth as gods.
Easter celebration is an opportunity to get associated with the things of God. Our mind should be opened to receiving from God. There is the place for self discipline this period. There will always arise many temptations and trials that might want to sink us deeply into them, but the conquering power of Jesus, superceeds all.
Our victory in Christ is a complete package, it doesn't cover an aspect of our life, but it takes a complete possession of our being. For this reason, Paul tells us in Galatians 2:20 KJV
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
The life we now live as "soled-out" children of God, is a life orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. Let us therefore submit in totality to his will, so that our life will experience an automatic transformation.
HAPPY EASTER STEEMIANS!
