Divine
empowerment is the release of God’s ability in human beings through the Holy
Spirit to accomplish divine objectives. Its purpose is to accomplish the plan
of God in any given situation by strengthening individuals to do the will of
God.
In
life, only the empowered succeeds. We all desire success in all areas of our
lives, but if desires alone were enough to bring success, then we’d all become
successful people. Effort doesn’t guarantee success. Until we are endued with
power from on high, we will not make any meaning and success whatsoever here on
earth.
Our
access to divine empowerment is by the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Without the
Holy Ghost in the life of a man, the man’s effort would be fruitless and yield
little or result. Even our Lord and Savior Jesus did not start His ministry
until the Holy Ghost empowered Him.
When
the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in Acts 2, they exploded with power and
from there; they turned the world upside down. After the coming of the Holy
Spirit upon Apostle Peter, he preached one message and 3000 (three thousand)
souls were added to the church. Can you imagine 3000 new clients patronizing
you in a day? Few days later, the Apostle preached another sermon and 5000
souls were added to the church. Wow! It even got to a point that the shadow of
Apostle Peter could heal people.
Divine
empowerment is the oil that makes the engine of our lives roll smoothly. Acts
10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.” Until Jesus received power of the Holy Spirit, he was not
recorded to have done any good.
I pray
that the Holy Ghost will empower you for greatness, impact and success in all your
endeavors and help you to fulfill destiny in Jesus Name. Amen!
