| We are all qualified to do the Works of God Recently while Dwayne Savaya of God’s Work Ministry was meditating on a verse of scripture, the Lord spoke to his heart concerning the power of prayer. He hopes you will be blessed and encouraged by this message the Lord led hime to write. As always, to God be all the glory, honor, and praise for His leading and blessings upon this work that He has called us to: | ||
“In Matthew 5:14-16 Jesus says, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." In order for our light to shine before all men, we need to be connected to the Source of the light, so that we may partake of what God already is.
While I was meditating on this verse of scripture the Lord gave me arevelation concerning His wisdom and understanding and what we need to do to receive that wisdom and anointing of the Holy Spirit. I was sitting in my bedroom when the light stand next to my bed got my attention. The Lord spoke to my heart concerning the light stand and what it needs to bring forth lightAs you already know a lamp stand has only one purpose and that is to give light to a room or area that is in need of light. If you were to unplug the light stand and turn the knob for the light to come on, the light will not come on because there is no power flowing to the lamp. In order for it to give light again, it needs to be plugged into the power source. Once it is plugged back into the power source, the lamp will again give light when you turn it on. It does not matter how beautiful the lamp is or how many rooms it is able to light; if it does not have a power source, the lamp is useless. It is the same thing concerning every believer. Even though we have been saved and redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; if we are not plugged into His power source then we are not going to be effective towards doing the work that God has called us to do. Only through prayer, fasting, and reading God's Word can we gain the strength, power and boldness to proclaim the truth of the Lord to all nations. (Matthew 24:14) Many people think they are not qualified to do Gods work and hence do not seek for Gods anointing on their life and that is exactly what the enemy wants. The devil never wants us to recognize the power that we have in prayer and tries everything he knows to keep us from praying. Another lie of the enemy is to fool you into thinking that God favors one person over another, but I want you to know that God is no respecter of persons and will light up all who will plug into Him as their power source and God promises to do great things through that life. (Jeremiah 1:4-5) (Acts 10:34) Many times we try to reach a certain goal and fail and because we have failed, we are hard on ourselves for not being successful and that should not be. We need to remember that if we depend on ourselves we will always fall short, because it is not in our own strength that we are successful but rather in the strength of the Lord. Keep in mind what Jesus said in John 15:5, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."Always keep in mind that spending time alone with the Lord will bringforth great success in every area of your life. God is a one-on-one God. He knows you better than you know yourself and once you realize that God only wants the best for you; you will always be quick to plug into His power source and receive the light that He gives that will cause your life to shine greatly before all men. (Psalm 139:17-18) (Matthew 6:6)Just as the Lord did for the saints of old, He will do the same for you. God will anoint you, empower you and fill you with wisdom beyond your years that you may know His power and glorify His name for He is a big God and deserves to be praised. (Jeremiah 33:3) (Psalm 91:14-16) Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Matthew 6:5-6 Jesus says, And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.Matthew 5:14-16 Jesus says, Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Psalm 27:1-4 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His temple.Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
