RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY, 15TH DECEMBER.
THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL.
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from
the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me
(Acts 26:18).
The Gospel of Jesus Christ, through the power of
the Holy Spirit, opens men’s eyes to see the light of God. When the Word
comes to a man, he receives vision; no wonder the Psalmist said, “Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105).
The first thing the Holy Spirit does to a sinner is to open his eyes,
because until a man’s eyes are open spiritually, he remains in darkness.
Therefore, in praying for people in your environment, in your family,
or in the regions beyond who are yet to know the Lord, intercede that
their eyes be open to see! The power to open their eyes is the Gospel of
Jesus Christ, communicated by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When
they come to Christ, He opens their eyes; but that’s only the
beginning; He continues to enlarge their vision of the kingdom through
the Word. As they study the Word, hear, and learn more about Him, He
further enlightens the eyes of their understanding, to know and walk in
their heritage and inheritance in Christ.
Keep preaching the
Gospel; there’s no salvation without the Gospel; the power of salvation
is in the Gospel, and it works only for the person who believes; and
that’s where you come in. The Bible says, “…how shall they believe in
Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a
preacher?” (Romans 10:14). Do you see why you should have a burning
heart to share the Gospel? You’re God’s agent of salvation, ordained to
turn sinners from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto
God. Praise God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
power of the Gospel of Christ that grants me insight and foresight into
the realities of the Kingdom. I walk in preordained pathways, conscious
of my calling as a minister of reconciliation. I pray that today, the
eyes of many around the world, who are in darkness will be open to the
light of the Gospel, and they be turned from darkness to light, and into
the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study:
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek.
Acts 20:32 AMP And now [brethren],
I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His
protection and care]. And I commend you to the Word of His grace [to
the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor]. It is
able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among
all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed
of soul).
