The Weekly Word with Dr. Dowe: The Power Inside of Us!

“We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves”

2 Corinthians 4:7 (NLT)

We as frail and fallible human beings have been entrusted to spread the light of Christ’s Good News gospel. All believers have the light of salvation in their hearts. That is what makes you be good and do nice things. God has said, “Let there be light in the darkness, and has made the light shine in our hearts.” (2 Co 4:6). Satan who is the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe by lighting the allure of positions, power, money and sexual pleasures; and the pursuits of these has led to our own pursuits and not God’s. Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Co 4:4; 11:14) and if we are not careful we have unknowingly made Satan the god. Does God want good things for us? Of course He does. We are victorious and not victims! God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and makes it all-possible. God provided a way for us all to be saved from the enemy’s disguises by sending a part of himself in Jesus.

In this message of scripture written by Paul above, He was pointing to the extreme value of our insides rather than our outsides; our hearts not our hard heads or physical bodies.

GOD’S POWER RESIDES IN ALL OF US

The Power belongs to Him and not us. Thus, we are then motivated to slow down, stop in most cases and spend time in His word. Make it a priority in the morning OK? When you witness its ok to tell people what Christ has done and tell less about your accomplishments or abilities. Concentrate on the inner strength that comes from the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:16).
