Christ Jesus Has The Power

Every now and then, the spirit of Truth brings to our remembrance precious truths from God's Word, which we seem to have forgotten or which we seem to be losing hold of. One such is contained in Christ farewell address to His followers in Matthew 28 v 18-20. He declared, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth..."

Power is said to be the ability to do things. And in declaring that all power is in His hands, Christ clearly assures that none of those who truly believe in Him has any reason to be troubled or distressed because He can do ALL things. He has such awesome power that is greater than any power, be it physical, spiritual or even nuclear. He has power to blot out the vilest of sins, cure the deadliest of sicknesses, solve the toughest of mysteries, destroy the strangest of satanic works and banish the cruelest of demons.

Paul, in Ephesians 1 v 19-22, tells of the extent of greatness and vastness of the power vested in Christ.

What other assurance do we need? Everything in the universe has been placed under the feet of Christ. No power in heaven or on earth can challenge His majestic power. What power is it that battles with your spirit, soul or body? What power is it that troubles your life and marriage? What power is it that rattles your mind and takes away your joy? Get connected to the POWER above all powers and you will be set free; get connected to the NAME above all names of infirmities and deformities and you will be made whole!

It is said of a boy who was tormented of a vicious demon and it seemed no one, including Jesus' disciples, could liberate - that Jesus said to the father, "Bring him hither to me" (Matthew 17 v 17 KJV). What expression of transcending authority, of total sureness, of timeless dominion, of transforming power! I can imagine what was on His mind when He said this. It most probably was, "Yes, you have tried all you can, gone everywhere possible, consulted every miracle worker you know, but you have not personally tried me. Bring the boy to ME". And as soon as the boy was brought, "Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour" (Matthew 17 v 18).

Rejoice, reader, because there is freedom for you this very hour. There is healing for you this very hour. There is victory for you this very hour - if only you will come to Christ, having absolute confidence in His omnipotence. When by faith, you drag your problems to get in contact with the power of Jesus, the problems would be crushed and the spirit behind the problem would be conquered and you are going to be liberated to live to the fullest of "God's desire for you".

What is it you need for life and godliness right now? Christ Jesus has the power? What is it you need for peace of mind and fullness of joy? Christ Jesus has the power! What Jericho walls hinder your progress and breakthroughs? Christ Jesus has the Power. He has the power to save, to sanctify, to strenghten, to set free and to sustain! He has the power to carry all your burdens and wipe your tears away. He has the power to bruise every enemy who would your soul annoy.

Even on your dying bed, Christ Jesus has the power to give your soul the needed victory to soar on the wings of faith and praise, far above every anxiety and uncertainty, and right into His glorious presence. I dare invite you today to get connected with Christ power - through total surrender of your life to Him and expression of faith in His authority - so that you can reign in life and in eternity. Will you heed the invitation?
