DAILY INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE DATE: 17TH OF JAN, 2014 TOPIC: WHO ARE YOU? Memorise: The evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize—but who are you?”—Acts 19:15 Bible Reading: Acts 19:13-16 Beloved the first thing we need to ask ourselves today, WHO ARE YOU? A genuine born again or a sinner? Because of our unstable fellowship with God that’s why demon always gain spiritual access to some believers life, because the moment you’re tolling with sins demons will have dominion power of him or her. The life of a Christians must be transparency with immaculate symbol of Holy Spirit and be doing extraordinary assignment of winning souls; so that you shall have power to send demons parking easily without stress. There is no secondhand spirituality. No one else can develop Christian maturity on your behalf. A strong Christian heritage is an asset, but it cannot take the place of your own vibrant, growing relationship with Christ. Whatever what you love mostly was what enemies use against that fellow, if you Love money than your Life remember one day, it will still left behind you after your exit, The bible says in the book of (Matthew 6:33) says seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness every other things shall be added onto you Paul had a powerful walk with God. God used him so mightily that extraordinary miracles occurred through his life. Cloths that touched Paul were taken to the sick, and the sick were healed (Acts 19:10–12). Evil spirits were cast out. Pauls preaching and teaching were instrumental in building a strong church in Ephesus. Pauls ministry was so impressive, in fact, that others tried to duplicate it. Seven sons of the chief priest, Sceva, attempted to cast out demons the way Paul did. They confronted an evil spirit and attempted to exorcise it “by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” These men were trying to use a spiritual power that Paul had acquired after years of walking closely with his Lord. They could imitate Pauls words, but they could not duplicate the power that was his through his personal relationship with God. The evil spirit retorted, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?” The demon then viciously attacked them and humiliated them. The evil spirits were fearfully aware of Jesus (James 2:19); they were familiar with Pauls influence over the powers of darkness. But the demons had no knowledge of the seven sons of Sceva. You can duplicate the words and deeds of a spiritually mature Christian, but you cannot inherit his or her walk with God. Christian maturity takes effort; it comes over time. If you ignore the place of prayer and if you neglect your relationship with Christ, you will not grow in your faith. Imitating the faith of others will not give you victory. Only as you nurture your own relationship with Jesus will your life be filled with spiritual maturity and power. Experiencing God Day by Day JESUS IS LORD! REMAIN EVER BLESSED!
