I will like to introduce you to the source of divine power. Through Him you will achieve more than you can ever imagine. He wants you to rely on Him and allow Him to do things through you. God is the source of Power, and He holds all things by the power of His word.
It cost God a lot to get you saved. He started to plan your salvation before the foundation of the world. He had to get a body prepared for himself because He was coming to the world. It cost Him His life. It was a great suffering that He went through. I have a question for you. Where were you when God was preparing all this? I have recently come to the conclusion that if God did all these for me then my life depends on Him.
God died for you to pay the penalty for your sins. This is to enable you to come to a relationship with Him. When He was in the world, His name was Jesus Christ. God wants you to believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, so that so that you will be born of God which is the second birth. Once you are born of God, he takes His residence in you and He begins to lead and guide you as you rely on Him. He is the light and outside of Him is darkness. That is why you need to be in Him to be able to walk in His light.
Isaiah 42:16 (New King James Version) “I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them”.
You cannot do enough on your own to please God. Jesus Christ has done all that needs to be done. The only thing the He requires of you is to believe. He wants you to rest in His complete work. You declare to God that you believe in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ when you rely on Him completely for everything. You then become a partaker of His death and resurrection. We are only accepted by God when we remain in Jesus Christ who is the beloved Son of God. (Mathew 17:5)
Ephesians 1:6b (New King James Version) “He made us accepted in the Beloved”.
Jesus said you must deny yourself, take up our cross daily and follow Him (Luke 9:23). Anyone who is taking his cross is preparing to die just as Jesus took up His cross and died on it. You become crucified in Jesus on the cross. When your hands are nailed to the cross, you cease from your own works. When your feet are nailed to the cross you cease from your walks. Jesus however rose from the dead and you rose in Him. He is now sitting in the heavenly places at the right hand of God and you are seated with Him. You remain in Him but He now begins to do the work while you rest in Him. His feet become yours, His hands become yours, His eyes become yours, and His mind becomes yours. You become like a glove in His hand.
Galatians 2:20 (New King James Version) “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”.
Allow God to do His perfect work in you. He has been around for much longer than you can ever imagine. He knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. Remember that you are a human being and not a human doing.
