My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Zechariah 4:6, ” Not by might, nor by power, but by the spirit, says, the Lord”. This is the word of the Lord to Zerubabbel.
In order to explain the meaning of the vision, the word of the Lord came to Zerubabbel. God wanted him to build, the temple of God not through the multitude and strength of men, but through the spirit of God. The temple represented the church and Zerubabbel to that of Christ. He was chosen by God, made a signet, and was precious to Him. Similarly Christ is chosen of God who has redeemed and delivered his people from the captivity of sin and bondage. God expected a transformation in man. He expects a new man, resurrection from the dead which require not the will of man nor of the will of the flesh but of God. And faith in Christ comes from God and He performs the work of faith with power.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Does this power remain in you? Have you experienced the power of the Holy Spirit ? The Bible says, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witness in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to all the earth.
God says, I will pour out My Spirit, on all flesh, your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, young men shall see visions. The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send will teach you everything. When people finished praying the place where they were meeting was shaken because they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim Gods message with boldness. God has poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. Today God wants to pour out His spirit, upon you. Are you ready to receive? When the spirit of God comes upon your children they will turn away from all their wrong doings. God will change the heart and mind of those who humiliated and put you to shame. Once you receive the holy spirit, you will receive the deliverance from every unpleasant situation. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. So receive the spirit of God and you will be set free.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord grant the Holy Spirit to us that we may receive the power of God. And we will be able to display the power of God in our lives among others. Help us to realize the goodness of the Holy Spirit and walk by faith and fear of the Lord. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
