Thought For The Day: You’re Kingdom Rep (07.27.20)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

(Acts 1:8, NLT)

People focus on the Power from the Holy Spirit whenever Acts 1:8 is preached. But the Power is not for your (self) interest…so that people will see how powerful or affluent you have become.

This Supernatural Power is for greater cause. As was said in Spider-Man (2002); With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, You received the Power to be His own (son or daughter) and to be His witness.

It’s like being employed by a company that equip you with tools needed to promote their business. You drive their branded cars, talk on their phones, wear their tag, use their internet, etc. These benefits are accrued to you so that you can be a higher performer.

In the same way, your excellence by virtue of the Holy Spirit Power upon your life is so that you can represent His Kingdom well, telling people about Him. The more willing you are to do this, the greater His manifestations in your endeavors. Tell to someone about Jesus Christ today

Limitless Capabilities: Unleashing Holy Spirit Power

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Limitless has been one of my favorite TV series for a simple reason; NZT-48. This was the miracle pill that enabled Brian Finch to do stuff he couldn’t do on his own. He moved from being below average to extraordinary character who help solved complex cases for the FBI. I was super excited watching because the pill reminded me of the Holy Spirit effect on average folks…like me.

…you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…

(Acts 1:8, AMP)

In the Old Testament, we saw our heroes doing might works when the Spirit of the Lord came upon them. Then came our Jesus Christ who could only begin his ministry after receiving the Holy Spirit power. And before he left, he told his disciples “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about” (Acts 1:4).

Why were they to wait?

A clearer picture was given in Luke 24:49. Here Jesus said “Listen carefully: I am sending the Promise of My Father [the Holy Spirit] upon you; but you are to remain in the city [of Jerusalem] until you are clothed (fully equipped) with power from on high.” (AMP). They were to wait till they are fully equipped with power from on high. Jesus knew that without the Power of the Holy Spirit, they were no different from unbelievers.

Here is why I was super excited watching Limitless: It reminded me that with the Powerful force of the universe living inside of me, I have Limitless Capabilities.

In the same way, you were fully equipped with power from on high when the Holy Spirit came upon you. Like Brain, if you can get back on your goals, targets, objectives, vision, etc there is absolutely nothing you can’t do regardless of the situation or environment you find yourself. You have Limitless Capabilities.
