Supernatural Empowerment

 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.

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
