We need His power

I’ve started driving recently and learnt something from this new experience.

It is instinctive for drivers to search for a petrol kiosk for a fill-up when the car indicates that it is running low on fuel.

Naturally, drivers do so because cars rely on petrol for power and to operate.

Without power, cars are almost useless.

Holy Spirit is our source of power

Similarly, we humans need power. And as Christians, we’ve acknowledged and embraced the Holy Spirit as that source.

We draw power being in His presence; renewing our visions, purposes in life and reviving our souls as we basked in the love of God.

But how many of us can truthfully say that we instinctly approach the Holy Spirit when we feel dry or low in our ‘fuel tank’?

And unlike, a car which has an fuel indicator to precisely alert us, we do not have such a mechanism in place.

Hence, many burn out and crash spiritually before even  realising that they are low in power.

Drawing power from the Holy Spirit

Today, make it a habit to plug into the presence of the Holy Spirit on a regular basis to draw power and to avoid any case of a burn out.

Equally important is for us to recognise our personal tell-tale signs of a low ‘fuel tank’ in our lives. So when the signs appear, instinctively we will look to Him for a fill-up.

Jesus said, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 

All of us, regardless if we believe in Him or not, need His power for a successful and purposeful life. Without Him, we are almost useless.

And the amazing truth is that His power is ever readily available and accessible anytime and anywhere.

So what are you waiting for? Get your power up today.

My Read of the Month:

Title: The Fourth Dimension, Vol. 2
Author: Dr. David Yonggi Cho
Published: 1983
Genre: Spiritual Development/Leadership
Ratings: 4.3 out of 5 stars

In this book, Dr. Cho who pastors the largest church in the world- Yoido Full Gospel Church shares his personal insights and experiences that he had amassed from his successful faith life.

This second volume presents more bible lessons in comparision to the first volume where it mostly introduced his concept of the Fourth Dimension.

The keys to success according to Dr. Cho is growing in the level of intimacy with the Holy Spirit. From the Holy Spirit, visions and dreams from God give birth in our lives that make up the blueprints to our destinies in God.

He also provides an interesting study on the importance of words and their influence over the kind of life we will have. According to  Dr. Cho, there is power and substance in the choice of words we choose to confess daily. For instance, if we confess we are poor, we will create a poor self-image by our confession. Hence, we will always remain poor.

In spite of it being a 1983 publication, this is still a very helpful read to establish the building blocks towards a power and successful spirit-filled life.

Who should read it: Those who desires to lead a successful faith-driven life
