YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you” (Acts 1:8). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations God’s power is given only to enable me to be His witness. Jesus had given His final instructions to the apostles after His resurrection, and told them to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit. That seemed fine—surely they had got the point and knew what was going to happen. But no! In verse 6, they were floundering again in the old notion that Jesus had spent three years trying to get out of their system: that of political triumph for Israel led by Jesus as the Warrior-Lord. Jesus had to correct them, and insist that their interests were not to lie in the direction of restored political power for Israel. They were to go beyond Israel and preach the gospel to all nations! The power He would give would not be for political victory, but to achieve a far more significant result: the moral and spiritual victory of the kingdom of God. Today you and I must continue to preach and proclaim the gospel to the nations in our own way. Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke.
