April 4. 2 Chronicles ch 6-9
THE WORKS OF THE POWER WITHIN US.
And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.
Hebrews 11:32-36 NASB1995
GOOD DAY. Above are the summary of what people of old were able to achieve through the power that worked within them. These works are fully recorded in the whole of Hebrews chapter 11 which is worth reading. These works serve as a prototype or example for us.
Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
1 Corinthians 10:11 NASB1995
Study the whole of Hebrews chapter 11 and you will find within the examples recorded how you can engage the power at work within you to achieve great things for God and mankind and yourself in righteousness. Write out what you want to achieve, write out under what example in Hebrews chapter 11 it falls then tomorrow we shall look at how these people of old were able to engage the power at work within them and be instructed.
PRAY: Dear Lord, grant me the understanding of how to connect with the power at work within me to affect my world for good.
