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.
