We are in the Days of His Power


Psalm 110:1-3
This phrase – which is also in Heb 1 – refers to God the Father telling God the Son (Jesus) immediately after He had paid the price for our sins and had ascended to sit at His (God the Father’s) right hand until His (Jesus’) enemies are made His footstool.
The way God makes Jesus’ enemies His footstool is simple, Christ is the head and has conquered (exercised God’s power, dominion and victory over) the devil, now God empowers the rest of the body of Christ to have the same kind of victory that the Head has. We are the body of Christ, and God wants the enemy to be completely under the body (not under the Head), to be a footstool, so that the least part of the body would have dominion over the enemy.

We as the body of Christ are commissioned and empowered just like Christ to have the same effect He had on the earth. This is the present ministry of Christ (what God is doing right now through Christ).

Eph 1:19-21
The same power God manifested in Christ is at work in us, and if we do not know this, we will not be able to experience it. We are seated together in Christ far above principalities and power, our spiritual location has changed. Of His fullness, we have received grace for grace – John 1:16, as we increase in our consciousness that we are just like Christ, we begin to experience more and more of that grace in our lives. The more we are conscious of us being just like Christ (raised up with Him and having the same life that is in Him - 1John 4:17), the more we experience his fullness in our lives. This is where our power, authority, dominion and greatness lie. We are no longer in the fallen man; we are now in the risen man.

Back to Psalm 110:1-3,
God is making the enemies of Christ His footstool; that is what He (God) is doing now. Christ is the head to the church. His authority, power and dominion are for us the church. He took our form so that we would take His. God is empowering us – the body of Christ – to have the same authority as Christ, to fulfil His word (Psalm 110:2, Obadiah 1:21). We are the saviours the bible refers to, going forth in the strength of Christ. God is sending us into different fields, mountains, worlds, until the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.

God’s priority is for His kingdom to come, and His will to be done in every field and sphere of life on the earth, and the way for this to happen is for us (the body of Christ) to go into these fields and professions and colonize the people (change their thinking), and exercise the dominion of Christ.

The type of grace God is releasing is the grace for us to do everything we need to do. Grace can be broken into three parts; Mercy, Favour, and Ability, and it is this ability – the ability of Christ – that God is stirring up in the church.  Grace to have the ability as Christ, to do His will on the earth; it’s about strength. It is divine ability to carry every duty and responsibility we have. We are in the days of His power, we will manifest the power of Christ and the gates of hell will not prevail against us. Even if the gates are closed against us, we will do what Samson did and pull them up (Judges 16:3), causing people to wonder about the source of our strength. God is releasing the grace of ability; we will not lack strength whenever we need it. The strength of Christ is arising in us as we keep doing his will.
God will anoint our eyes by His Spirit, so that we can see the way God sees (1Sam 17:26, 2kings 6:15-18), He will anoint our ears to hear His voice (Isaiah 30:21), and our mouths so that we can speak like Him.

The Greatest Revolution Nigeria Needs in 2024

Image
What you’re about to read is a summary of the major conversations that took place in my mind as I listened to the wonderful session by Mrs Ndidi Ukaonu at The Platform event held on May  1 st ,  2023.   1.0 Clarification of Terms: An Intrapreneur is not just someone who is working in an organization. That’s an employee. Not every employee is an Intrapreneur…..just as not everybody who starts a business is an entrepreneur. The major difference between an employee and an intrapreneur is in how they view their work and carry it out.  Just like an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur employs innovation in his/her work.  A certain mindshift needs to take place for an employee to shift and evolve into an intrapreneur. Mrs Ukaonu dealt extensively with this in her session. This is the greatest revolution Nigeria needs right now - The Intrapreneurial Revolution .    2.0 The Great Need for This Revolution: 1. A. Intrapreneurship boosts national productivity – The more we have intrapreneurial

11 Phenomenal Leaders/ Mentors I have worked directly with/ under (Part A)

Image
Bishop FEB Idahosa (All Time) – Bishop FEB Idahosa is a great man that I have been privileged to meet and be trained and inspired by. One thing I remember very well, is how Bishop FEB made me and other leaders of Christian Fellowship International meet with great ministers of God when these ministers came for Church of God Mission Conventions and programs. I mean people we only see on TV. As a student at that time, those meetings were such a great blessing. Later on as a CGMI Model Church Pastor, we had great times and meetings with Bishop FEB and his lovely wife – Rev. Laurie Idahosa, where we brainstormed, prayed, shared God’s word and were impacted to be better leaders. The very first time I travelled on a plane was on a flight to Lagos from Benin with Bishop FEB. He still inspires and blesses me till today.      Rev. Prince Arheghan (1999) – I entered Benson Idahosa University around August/ September 1999 and one of the best things that happened to me was joini
