CONDUITS OF POWER
Memorise:
Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. .. Ecclesiastes 9:8
Read:
Mark 6:53-56
Message
Every part of the life and being of a Christian who is totally surrendered to God is a potent weapon in God's hands. For example, just as we see in today's Bible reading, clothes that are worn by people who have submitted their lives and all to God can become conductors of God's power.
Jesus' garment was full of power; the sick touched the hem of His garment and were made whole, as we see in today's Bible reading. In Acts 19:11-12, God performed special miracles through Paul, such that aprons and handkerchiefs that he had worn were taken to the sick, and they received their healing. Paul was not even among the first twelve apostles; he was a persecutor of the gospel of Jesus Christ until he was saved. However, after his conversion, God performed special miracles through him. God is a miracle worker, but He is looking for vessels — men and women — who will believe Him so that He can release His power on the earth through them.
Child of God, your heavenly Father wants His power to flow through you so He can establish His Kingdom wherever you are. However, before your garment (which signifies your life) can become a conductor of God's power, your internal garment has to be pure. Today's memory verse tells us that our garments should always be white. This has nothing to do with always wearing white clothes; instead, it has everything to do with the heart. If a fellow's heart is not surrendered to the Lord and is full of greed, that person's garment cannot carry God's power. Gehazi could have carried a double portion of Elisha's anointing, but greed made him lose what could have been his spiritual inheritance (2 Kings 5:20-27). Judas could have been the one through whom God healed the man at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3:1-11. God could have performed mighty miracles through him, just as He did with the other apostles, but greed made him end his life shamefully (Matthew 27:3-5).
Beloved, God wants you to be a conduit of His power like Peter and Paul. However, you cannot reveal His power when you are not surrendered to Him. If you are yet to surrender totally to God, I implore you to do so today so you can be a carrier of His power. I pray that the Lord will clothe you with His garment and make you a conductor of His power, in Jesus' name.
