TEXT: “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49)
I welcome you once again to the month of June 2024. The greatness in you shall emerge this month by the Power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name.
Yes, it is true that many people are living in frustration today trying to figure out why what they dreamt of is not working out. Beloved, take this from me today; you cannot fulfil God-given dream for your life in the energy of the flesh. Jesus sent His disciples to the world to preach but also instructed them to tarry for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit before doing so.
Jesus also said to them, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.’ (John 20:21-22). Jesus knew that for the disciples to accomplish their divine assignment, they needed to be empowered. The assignment God has for your life is always going to be greater than what you can accomplish with your own strength. You cannot complete it in the energy of the flesh. You need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Note: When I say God-given assignment, I mean the very purpose why God keeps you alive today, the vision you are nursing in your heart, what you love doing with little or no physical motivation, that is the assignment of God for your life.
Now, the good news is, God has provided His Spirit and everything you need ahead of time by His command. God told Elijah: “Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee” (1 Kings 17:9). All that Elijah needed was provided ahead of time, he just needed to obey God’s instructions. So also with you. What you need to fulfil that glorious destiny has been provided.
I’m saying to you this morning therefore, don’t let fear and intimidation steal your dream and your assignment. Let God enlarge your dreams. And instead of shrinking back, go for fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit for what is ahead. The Holy Spirit is always standing by to give you all that it takes to fulfill divine assignment.
PRAYER: I pray for you right now, the power of the Holy Spirit will cause you to bring forth God-given assignment for your life this month in Jesus name.
DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2024, I am advancing in adversity because I’ve been redeemed to flourish in hard times therefore my life shall be full of wonders. Amen and amen.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “The assignment God has for your life is always going to be greater than what you can accomplish with your own strength.”
