But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24
Christ is the Power of God to break the chains of iniquity, to forgive sin and to deliver souls from Hell. He is the Power of God to bind Satan, to open the doors of Hell and to take His followers to Heaven. What greater power is there in the world than the power that Christ has over the Evil One? Don’t be concerned with those who have the power of money or position, for they can only do things in this life; you should fear God, who has power over the spiritual realm and over the next life.
Jesus, I bow in Your presence. I recognize Your eternal power in the heavenlies. Forgive me for being so concerned with human power that I didn’t see Your power.
Jesus is the Power of God, who gives you great wisdom and insight into God’s will for your life. He can give you victory over temptation and liberty over besetting sin. He can work all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). He can use you in His service and give you the spiritual ability to lead unsaved people to salvation. You need His power in your life. You can release His power into your life today by seeking His presence and yielding to Christ when He comes to you.
Christ, I acknowledge Your presence in my life; it is the only power that has eternal implications. Thank You for making Yourself available to me; I claim the power of Your presence today. Amen.
