Bible Text: Acts 1:4-8 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
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.
It is one thing to set a goal, it is another thing to achieve it. It is one thing to have a destiny, it is another thing to fulfill it. John 17: 4, 19:30
In the name that is above every other names, You will fulfill your goal in Jesus Name.
Jesus said in his words " I will send to you the Holy Spirit who will help you fulfil your destiny " , He sent he sent the Holy Spirit to give us power to help fulfil our destiny. Acts 1:8
What is power?
Power is the ability to do work easily and efficiently, and at times extra ordinarily .
The power you need to fulfil your destiny easily without sweat, I decree, receive it in Jesus’ name.
There are categories of power:
1. Political Power: Ecclesiastes 8:4. Where the word of a king is, there is power.
2. Financial/Material Power: Proverbs 10:15, Ecclesiastes 7:12.
3. Spiritual Power: 2 Kings 4:8-17
4. Counterfeit power. Acts 8:9-24
Everywhere you have something original, there's bound to be something counterfeit that may
Let me tell you, power passes power. Exodus 7:8-12, Matthew 28:18
I decree that the power of the Almighty God will swallow every counterfeit power against you in Jesus’ name.
Don't mind all those who mock you when you pray in the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says you speak mysteries to God when you pray in the Holy Spirit.The end will justify the means.
Pray more in the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26, Witness more, Lay hands on the sick, Use the Power so it can multiply.
Why do you need to have the power of the Holy Spirit? it so that you can fulfil destiny Luke 5:1-11, Acts 2:1-41
Jesus met Peter and told him his destiny was to win souls. This didn't manifest for about three years but on the day of Pentecost he won 3,000 souls.
The greater the power, the easier it will be to reach your goal.
In Acts 4:6-11 When the Holy Spirit came on Peter who used to be naive and shy, he won 3,000 souls to God in 1 day!
The destiny of Peter was fulfilled at an amazing pace by the Power of the Holy Spirit . Acts 3:1-11, Acts 4:4, Acts 5:1-16. Galatians 1:15-16.
I believe the moment God wants you to begin to fulfill your destiny is NOW!
If you have already gotten the power, use it, if not, you will lose it.
In the Name that is above every other name, I pray for you today that the power to fulfill destiny will be released unto you and you will not leave this world regretting that you failed to fulfill destiny.
I pray at the end of your time on earth, you will look back and say you have fulfilled destiny.
Apostle Paul was only able to fulfil his God given destiny when he was baptised in the Spirit. Acts 9:10-20.
I pray for you today, before the day is out, the power of the Holy Spirit will propel you to the direction of your destiny in Jesus’ name. Acts 3:1-11, Acts 4:4, Acts 5:1-16
The greater the power, the easier you arrive your destiny which God has pre-planned for you.
* Power can be transferred through conduction to put the power in the medium where it's needed.
*Power can be transferred through radiation too. To God's praise, this explains why I can stand on the altar and wave my hands and thousands of handkerchiefs will be anointed for miracles, signs and wonders.
Being baptized in the Holy Ghost by the evidence of speaking in tongues is what gives power. Keep on praying in the Holy Spirit, the end will justify the means
I pray that you'll use the power to heal, deliver, raise the dead, make fruitful and win souls to God in the mighty name of Jesus.
If you've already got the power, use it; if you don't, you'll lose it. Pray in tongues more like never before. Romans 8:26 Keep communicating with the Holy Ghost, the Originator of your destiny.
Witness more, talk more about Jesus; lay hands on the sick & see the power flow. Use the power so it'll multiply.
Don't allow the thoughts of “if I lay my hands on the sick, will they recover?” Who says they won't recover?
You'll see doors opening and see yourself being propelled towards your destiny with the power of the Holy Ghost.
For those who don't have the Power :
1. Repent - Say bye bye to the life of sin
2. Be baptised by immersion (after the lockdown).
3. Begin to use the power, join the work force of your church and see what the Almighty God will do through you by moving you closer to your destiny on a daily basis.
If you're reading this and you'd like to give your life to Jesus, cry out to Him to forgive your sins, save your soul and write your name in His book in Jesus’ name.
Concluding Prayers : In Jesus name, I pray for you you now that the saviour himself, the Resurrected Christ will receive you now, forgive your sins, he will save your soul , write your name in the book of life and receive you into the family of God. I pray that very soon, you'll receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the power to fulfil your destiny shall be relased unto you.
For you who already has the baptism of the Holy Ghost, I pray for you, that the Almighty God himself will stir up the power in you and begin to do for you exceedingly, abundantly and above all you can even ask or think according to His power that is already working in you , I pray that from now on you will begin to use that power to heal the sick, the power to raise the dead, to make the barren fruitful, the power to serve God, and I pray that when it is time to leave this world you will say " Thank God I have fulfilled my destiny " , so shall it be in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. PRAISE THE LORD
