THE POWER OF GOD

THE POWER OF GOD

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Jeremiah 32:17
Supporting Texts: Exodus 15:6, Psalm 62:11, Luke 1:37, Ephesians 1:19-20


INTRODUCTION

The power of God is limitless and beyond human comprehension. From creation to redemption, God’s power has been demonstrated in marvellous ways. Jeremiah 32:17 declares, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” This affirms that God’s power has no boundaries and nothing is impossible for Him.

Throughout history, God has displayed His power through miracles, deliverance, provision, and transformation. His power is still at work today in the lives of those who believe in Him. However, many Christians fail to experience the fullness of His power due to doubt, fear, or lack of faith.

This sermon explores the nature of God’s power, how it works in our lives, and how we can walk in His divine strength to overcome challenges and fulfil His purpose.

    He spoke the world into existence.

2. HOW GOD MANIFESTS HIS POWER

God’s power is displayed in different ways in the lives of believers.

3. HOW TO ACCESS GOD’S POWER

Believers must activate the power of God in their lives through faith and obedience.

    Without faith, we cannot experience His power.

    Prayer releases God’s power into situations.

  • c) By living a life of holiness (2 Timothy 2:21)
    A consecrated life carries divine power.

    The Holy Spirit empowers believers for exploits.

  • e) Biblical Example: Elijah Calling Down Fire (1 Kings 18:36-38)
    Through faith and prayer, Elijah demonstrated God’s power.

    The early church demonstrated God’s power through miracles.


CONCLUSION

God’s power is unchanging and ever-present in the lives of those who believe in Him. No matter the situation, God’s strength is available to deliver, heal, and uplift His people. However, to experience this power, we must walk by faith, seek Him in prayer, and live a consecrated life.
