All those who believe in Jesus Christ Crucified are SONS/EQUAL-MATES whether the Holy Spirit calls them to marriage or celibacy hence NO BELIEVER IS A GRAND-SON OR HAS LOWER-ANOINTING OR UNHOLY BECAUSE OF MATRIMONIAL SEXUAL INTIMACY


thus “But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13 KJV)

"One day, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave-girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling. 17 While she followed Paul and us, she would cry out, “These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you a way of salvation.” 18 She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

19 But when her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities. 20 When they had brought them before the magistrates, they said, “These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews 21 and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or observe.” 22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods. 23 After they had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 The jailer called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without delay. 34 He brought them up into the house and set food before them; and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.

35 When morning came, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” 36 And the jailer reported the message to Paul, saying, “The magistrates sent word to let you go; therefore come out now and go in peace.” 37 But Paul replied, “They have beaten us in public, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they going to discharge us in secret? Certainly not! Let them come and take us out themselves.” 38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens; 39 so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city. 40 After leaving the prison they went to Lydia’s home; and when they had seen and encouraged the brothers and sisters[g] there, they departed." (Acts 16:16-40 NRSV)

"As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look, those who wear soft robes are in royal palaces. 9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written,

‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way before you.’

11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John came; 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 Let anyone with ears listen!

16 “But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another,

17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we wailed, and you did not mourn.’

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; 19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.” (Matthew 11:7-18 NRSV)

THE POWER OF CHRIST JESUS CRUCIFIED AT WORK IN A BELIEVER:

Things you must know about the Spiritual Power ( The Power of God )

Walking, running, moving by car, aircraft, rocket etc are all means of getting to one's destination but the FASTEST is rocket, why Because of the propelling force of the engine (mainly).

The level of the Power of God at work in you determines how FAST you get the manifestation of your utterances and prayers.

Today we have many who are TALKING but very FEW men of Power.

The place of Power in the kingdom matters can never be overemphasized because every kingdom is recognized and respected according to the measure of its prevailing Power.

One of the easiest things to do in Christianity is to talk about God, post things on the internet, preach, teach and quote bibles but the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in Power. 1 Cor 4:20

When you see Jesus command things and they submitted and obeyed it is not only Faith, He returned from the wilderness with Great Power, Luk 4:14,18-19, Acts 10:38

The Power was so much that It soaked the whole of His Garment, hence people can touch Him and contact it, Mk 5:29-30, Luk 6:18-19,

Whenever God gives a command everything obeys and submits, why? Because of the greatness of His Power not faith only Ps 66:3.

If the enemies of God obey Him because of His Great Power how do you think they will submit to you when you don't have enough power?

In fact, it is your Spiritual Power that gives force and strength to your faith.

As the force from engine propels rocket so the power at work in you propels your faith.

Don't think you are faithful to God now or walking in holiness until you contact great Power.

This is when the kingdom of darkness will let loose, then your loyalty and Faithfulness to God would be tried and tested.

About the Power of God

The Bible says that this Power is exceedingly Great. it is called Mighty Power Eph 1:19, Ps 66:3

Eph 3:20 says that this Power can do far exceedingly and abundantly above all we can think or imagine

Eph 1:19, 3:20 says that this Power is at work IN us, it is not dormant.

Eph 3:16, says the HolySpirit releases this Power into our spirit.

1Cor 1:24, says that Christ in us is this Power.

Acts 1:8, says that whoever that's baptized in the HolyGhost has received this Power.

The strength and measure of this Power at work in us determines the level of obedience we can command from the kingdom of darkness and forces of nature.

When evil spirits are behind a problem, you MUST will or release Power stronger than theirs before they would lose their hold and grips from that matter and you get results.

This is what we call casting out demons (Deliverance ministry). It's not for special people, any believer with enough Spiritual Power can do it.

It is just that those who have it as their special calling are supported by the sovereignty of God. They do it without much effort.

When forces or law of nature is behind a problem, you MUST will or release a stronger Power that would bypass the law of nature before you get results.

This is what we call signs, wonders and miracles. Any believer that has the commensurate Power can do it.

The bible says that Stephen full of Grace and Power worked great signs and wonders.

All that pertains to life and godliness has been granted unto us by His Divine Power, what we need is to ENFORCE their manifestation through the Power of the HolySpirit at work in us.

Whatever you are enjoying in Christ now is the measure of the Power at work in you that is releasing.

You can enjoy greater things if you grow in Power or lose some of them if you weaken in Power.

All these are Grace of God because the Power entered in us not by our works but the finished works of Jesus, hence no man can boast no matter the level of Power you are operating with.

Finally, what determines how fast you get answers or results from your utterance or prayers is the strength or measure of the Power of God at work in you.

If you pray or speak without getting results, it means that the Power you are releasing is not strong enough, hence you need to grow in the Power of God.

How can we grow in Power, Jesus will tell more.
