Matthew 3:11
John the Baptist was clear about it, the baptism of Jesus is superior and better than his own.
John baptized with water, which is good, but Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire which is better.
God has something better for you!
God is a God who always has something better.
Isaiah 60:17
Baptism empowers spiritually, baptism empowers supernaturally.
God has made provision for your empowerment.
The Father did so through Jesus Christ.
A part of the reason Jesus came is to empower you.
Jesus came that you may be blessed, to be blessed is to be empowered to succeed.
We are empowered through a baptism into Jesus Christ.
It was after John's water baptism the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit alighted upon Jesus in the manner of a dove.
Luke 3:21,22
Jesus was empowered supernaturally to fulfill His ministry and destiny after He was baptized.
Luke 3:23
The baptism of Jesus Christ (with the Holy Spirit and fire) empowers you to fulfill your life's assignment and destiny.
Jesus performed His first miracle after being empowered by the Spirit.
John 2:1-11
Jesus defeated Satan and rejected his temptations after He was empowered by the Spirit.
Matthew 4
The ministry of Jesus started officially after being empowered by the Spirit.
Matthew 4:16 & 17
Everything Jesus did you can potentially do when you are empowered by God.
There is a promise of doing greater works by us.
John 14:12
We have to be empowered to do these greater works.
The empowerment of Jesus makes us win in life and through eternity.
It is an empowerment that brings a positive transformation to a human life.
This empowerment can make you a new man or woman.
There are man-made ways of empowering ourselves in this world outside of God's empowerment.
There are also Satanic ways of being empowered, it comes about by yielding to Satan (the darks side). It leads to destruction.
Both types of empowerment cannot compare to the empowerment from God, which is kingdom empowerment, the empowerment from Jesus Christ by His Spirit!
Man's way of empowering himself may not be bad in itself- training, education, skill acquisition, self-help teachings, success motivation, and mentorship.
To be empowered by God is better.
The empowerment from God can enhance the empowerment acquired from man.
