Tap into the Infinite Source of the Power of God!

As we draw electricity from power plants and water from local reservoirs, so too do we need a continuous supply of strength to live victorious, Spirit-filled lives. Scripture reminds us that our God has an infinite power source: “Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God” (Psalm 62:11).

But the question remains: do we truly tap into the source of His power? The answer is clear—the only way God channels His strength into our lives is through the gospel that Jesus is the Christ. It is not through our own effort, intellect, or worldly resources, but through Christ that we receive power that transforms and sustains us.

Through Christ, we are granted a new and living way to God. As we cultivate continual fellowship with Him, God pours His strength into us, refreshing our souls, guiding our steps, and empowering us for His purposes. This is not a one-time gift; it is an ongoing supply, flowing as we remain connected to the Source.

Moreover, God amplifies His power in our lives as we devote ourselves to fellowship with those who possess and proclaim the gospel. By walking alongside fellow believers, sharing in the joy and responsibility of spreading the gospel, we experience the transformative power of God firsthand. This divine work was evident in the encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26–39), and in the ministry of Paul, Priscilla, and Aquila (Acts 18:1–3). These examples remind us that God’s power moves through relationships centered on the gospel.

The Holy Spirit also fills us with power through the blessing of meetings—times when we embrace others with the gospel and join with fellow evangelists for the expansion of God’s kingdom. These gatherings are not merely human endeavors; they matter deeply to God, for He meets with His people and empowers them in unity.

God supplies His strength to us through His Word about Christ. Paul declares, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). As we continually discover and delight in the gospel within Scripture, the power of Christ within us will never run dry. Jesus Himself promised, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:38).

To receive this power, we must open our hearts and minds fully to God’s Word, setting aside our own thoughts, biases, and standards that might hinder the flow of His Spirit. Treasure the Word, meditate on it, and store it in your heart. In God’s perfect timing, the power of the gospel will manifest in your life and in the lives of those entrusted to your care.

The Lord Jesus has given us the key to His kingdom, granting access to the infinite source of God’s power through prayer and spiritual authority: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:19). When our hearts align with God’s greatest desire—His kingdom and righteousness, through evangelism and missions—He supplies all we need, including the strength to fulfill the tasks He has entrusted to us (Matthew 6:33).

Remember, the fleeting things of this world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—will not endure (1 John 2:16). Only the power that comes from above enables us to overcome our own weaknesses, the temptations of the world, and the schemes of Satan. This is why we must continually seek the filling of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18), relying not on our strength but on His.

Our strength is activated through obedience. This obedience is not blind or burdensome; it is anchored in the wisdom and authority of God, who has given us life and power through His Son, Jesus Christ. When we walk in obedience, we position ourselves to receive and channel His power continually.

Therefore, continue to tap into the infinite source of God’s power. Live a life that reflects the gospel—your identity; let the gospel shape your way of living—your daily path; and pursue the gospel as your ultimate, lifelong purpose.
