“And Elijah the Tishbite, who
was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel
liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but
according to my word.” 1 Kings 17:1
Yesterday I emphasized the
importance of spending time with Jesus. This morning I want to say more on that
with emphasis on mantle of power and the word encounter. These are the
ingredients that make the word of an ordinary man to become exactly God’s word.
Elijah was standing before God and said to Ahab that things would happen
according to his own word.
“Jesus answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the
word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;” John 10:34-35
“And, behold, I send the promise
of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:49
The talk in Christian world about
mantle of power and fire began with Elijah. He eventually transferred the
mantle to Elisha. Where did he get the mantle from? He got it from the presence
of God. Jesus said to the disciple if they tarried they would be endued with
power from on high. He also affirmed the scripture that he who has a word
encounter can demonstrate power as God. Beloved, the mantle of power today is
not a physical cloth. It is the Holy Ghost on a believer and the revelation of
God’s word in his or her life.
May you encounter the word of God
and may you be endued with power from on high in the Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Let the mantle of fire
fall upon me in Jesus name.
