Dynamics That Activates Power:

1.  Prayer 🙏

• The ministry of prayer that edifies your spirit.
• A man who is not invested in prayer can’t work in spiritual power.
• Praying in the Holy Ghost, building up your spirit man and enlarging your capacity in the spirit

2. The depth of your consecration            

• Abstinence from all appearances of evil
• Total devotion to God

3. The time that is spent in the word         

• The word of God captures the power of God. Habakkuk 3:4 AMP.
•  God’s power hides in his light

You cannot be a powerful believer if you do not invest time in prayer and you do not value and guard by the grace of God your consecration and if you do not obtain the grace to stay with the word.

The power that is derived from the word is called Exousia.

Exousia is where we get the word authority.

Every time you learn the word of God, there is an investment of knowledge that translates to authority, so you speak as one who is knowledgeable.

One way we receive power and grow in power is through importation through the carriers of that grace.

There are custodians of the oil, you buy with (Matthew 25:9 KJV):

• Humility
• Meekness
• Passion

4. Wealth

Wealth is sufficiency

Sufficiency – The ability to rise up to any occasion never disappointing.

Wealth is the spiritual wherewithal that causes you to always be sufficient (2 Corinthians 9:8 AMP, Psalm 112:1-3 KJV)

Riches – Abundance of financial resources

Wealth – Systems that guarantee it’s continuity and replenishing

The greatest secret of wealth is the ability to replenish.

No matter how fruitful you are, if you lack the ability to replenish, you are not wealthy. Your money will finish slowly, but it will finish.

The moment you overcome the hurdle of fruitfulness, your next assignment is to contend for ability to replenish.

The difference between lust, carnality and a kingdom-driven pursuit, is that one is an end to itself (for self aggrandizement) whereas the other is as a tool to review his glory.

Make it a point of duty to not be poor, don’t wait for pain to force you to learn this

Many things will go wrong in your life when you are poor, money is not everything, but a major part of your need will depend on money.

Refusing to prosper when you understand God’s program and you understand the implication of true prosperity is irresponsibility, it is selfishness.

True kingdom wealth protects and preserves your integrity.

Wealth is a defender of convictions, you don’t have to change and bend, you can be consistent.

If you remain poor indefinitely, eventually you will tell lies, you will steal and you will compromise. 

Refuse To Be Poor

The name of Jesus is very heavy, it takes financial resources to lift it high with integrity for the nations to see.

Isaiah 60:1 KJV, Isaiah 60:1 AMP
