REVELATION - A COMMON THREAD AMONG MEN OF PRAYER

REVELATION - A COMMON THREAD AMONG MEN OF PRAYER

Luke 2:25‭-‬26 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. KJV‬‬‬‬

Simeon was a man who was a devout man – this means this man was devoted, one who was consistent with his devotion to God. He was a man of prayer. No wonder it was revealed to him that he will not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And when Jesus was brought into the temple to be dedicated, he came by the Spirit and blessed Jesus – he knew that this little baby was the Christ.

There is another woman in the Bible who also lived a devout life. Her name is Anna:

Luke 2:36‭-‬37 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. KJV‬‬‬‬

THE CARDINAL FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE CARDINAL FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Righteousness has fruits. This implies that righteousness is a tree which produces fruits. When we came into Christ Jesus, we received the righteousness of God as a gift; and we became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The word “fruit” in Philippians 1:7 is from the Greek word “karpos” which according to Thayer means fruit, that which originates or comes from something, an effect, result, work, act, deed, advantage, profit etc. And from the scripture above, apostle Paul prayed that the Philippian church be filled with the fruits of righteousness. What a prayer! If you know what fruits of righteousness means you will appreciate the power of Paul’s prayer.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Whatever God starts in your life, He will finish it. The NIV translation puts the above scripture this way: Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

This means that whatever God has begun in your life, He will carry it on till completion; it implies bringing that thing to full maturity and fruition. In Christ, there are no miscarriages. The power to complete things is available through Christ.

FAITH IS THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE MIRACULOUS

FAITH IS THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE MIRACULOUS

Mark 6:5‭-‬6 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.‬

When Jesus ministered while He was on earth, those who believed received their miracles. In Nazareth, Jesus couldn’t perform many miracles except for a few healings. Why couldn’t He perform the miracles in Nazareth? The answer is that the atmosphere was not conducive for miracles – the people were deeply baptized in unbelief. Their unbelief short circuited the power of God.

The woman with the issue of blood got her miracle because she believed in Jesus. When she heard about the miracles that Jesus had performed, she gladly believed. And because she believed, she came in the press and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and her blood condition for 12 long years was healed. She activated the miraculous.

ACT ON THE WORD

ACT ON THE WORD

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

When we put the word of God to work, we activate the inherent power in the word. The power in the word remains potential until we activate it. And as long as the power in the word is potential, we get nothing. Potential power does not bring about a change. What brings about motion and change is kinetic power or activated power.

To act on the word means to put the word of God to work; it also means to do the word. We have been called to be doers of the word and not hearers only. Those who act on the word are the ones who experience the power in the word.
