Doctrine Of Power

0:01 Hello everybody, welcome once again to Deeptons.

0:08 Yes, and this is episode 5 of Deeptons of Power. So you've maybe joined us from episode 1 down to episode 5. Good job you're doing the writing. I told you that this series is Power Packs Plus it's definitely Deeptons of Power. So yeah. So today we have a very important guest. So today I want us, with a round of applause, like us, to welcome. Mamet nasiru galli. Wow, Mamet Nasiru Galli, thank you so much for coming, Sir. It's an honor. And to be honest, I'm happy you're the first person we are featuring Details of power.

0:53 So today we have a very interesting topic. So the topic is. Doctrine of power So what do you think you know about power? What are the concepts behind power? What is power? How is power? Who is power? All right, these whole questions and why you have the answer today. So we will have our own guest speaker, Mohamed Nasiru Gali go through every aspect of doctrine of power for us. So please pay attention and listen carefully as we go deep into it. OK? Thank you. So, Sir, over to you. Thank you so much and I'm happy to be here to discuss on the doctrine of power.

1:37 I want to say that I'm not worthy to talk about this because I feel I've not reached the level 2 and nobody will ever reach that level where he feels that he's enough and he has what is now enough to do things on his own. We just have to depend on the grace and the power of God. So we are going to talk about the doctrines of power. Just settle down, get your notes unless rights unless meditate unless also pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to us. So I want to begin with the first statements that you will never desire what you don't know.

2:18 So whatsoever you don't know about, you're not going to decide. The second point is that your life is not superior to the level of knowledge and revelation that you have. So the quality of your life can never be superior to your level of knowledge and revelation. The third one is that it is not a sin to desire power. Later in this discussion we are going to see so many things and one of the things that I will highlight is the fact that one of the reasons why God created man was to share His love with man.

2:55 You know, the Bible said that God so loved the world that he gave and so one of the things that moves God is love. And John told us that God is love, and one of the reasons why he created man was to share his love, was to share his image, was to share his likeness, to share his power with man so that man can live in the God class having dominion over the earth. So it is not a sin to desire power. When we look at Jesus, we also see how Jesus was going about doing good and how Jesus was also pointing the disciples to the issue of power, to the Holy Ghost and with power.

3:36 He even told them to tarry in Jerusalem until they are endued with power. So it is not a scene to desire power. In fact, when you look at Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, you see that in the book of Acts chapter one, verse one, Luke was saying of my former accounts, that was the book of Luke. What's your philosoph? What Jesus began to do and to teach. So the book of Matthew, the book of Mark and Luke showed us the act of Jesus. And Jesus was not just demonstrating science and wonders. Jesus was also teaching because he also needed the disciples to enter into the economy that he was working with.

4:21 And the moment he came to the book of John, he began to introduce the person of the Holy Ghost, which is the power. So power can be a person, power can be an activity, it can be a capacity and authority. Might and strength. Letter will see the definition of power, but when it comes to personality in the Godhead, the Godhead that demonstrates power is the Holy Spirit. So he's the power of God and Jesus is the word of God. And later we'll see how the two of them come together to see that the power comes into effect.

4:57 There is there are two types of parties, the potential power and is the kinetic power and we'll see them later. So it is not his sin to desire power. The points #4 is that every person you see is looking for power. Every single person you see in this universe is looking for power. So some people may see it, They may be looking for it in form of work, money, material resources for people just want to control their situations and unforeseen circumstances, which is which can be hunger, which can be sickness, which can be their time.

5:35 They just want to be able to control their time. They want to control the things that happened to them. So every person you see that is going about is looking for power. The next point is that you will not receive. What you don't ask is a law of the Kingdom. He says ask and you shall receive. You will not find what you don't seek. So until you seek for something, you will not be able to find it. And there are doors that will not open. In fact, no door will open to you until you knock at it. So there are things you ask, there are things you seek, and there are things that you have to knock.

6:15 So in the Kingdom, this principle is very, very important. So if you don't ask for power, if you don't seek for it, if you don't knock for it, you are not going to have it. Then in the Kingdom, everything has been purchased by Jesus. Every single thing is free. Every single thing has been purchased by Jesus, including power. But they are not found in the surface level because you can't give, you can't throw precious, precious pills before dogs. So you have to, you know, you have to deliver them to people who you know are able enough to handle it carefully and be able to do it, use it to do good.

6:59 So including power. But they are not found in the surface level. Everything is free, but it's not in the surface level because they are treasures and they are also inheritance. So if they are inheritance, it means that treasures means that they have to be hidden and inheritance means that you have to grow to maximize them. For for inheritance, the Bible say a hair, as long as he's a child is no different from his lips. So that child has to grow. That hair has to grow to the point where he can be able to lay, hold and take hold of his inheritance.

7:33 So they are given to those that desire number one, with all their hearts, OK, and then grow in maturity to wield them. So that is that point. Then another point is that as a Christian you have as much power that rose Jesus from the dead in your spirits. This this is what we call the potential that you have and the capacity that you have. The potential you have is the same potential that Jesus wielded while he was on earth and the capacity determines is deter is dependent on your vessel. In the book of first Timothy, the second Timothy chapter 2, I think verse 2119, he said if anyone therefore purges himself, if anyone therefore purges himself from distance.

8:22 Sanctification is one of the greatest tools that the Lord has given to us to enter into our rest. Later we may see that there are two types of rest in this. The first rest we receive when we came into Christ and this another rest we find. The first rest is given. The second rest, you decide whether you want to enter into it. However, it is your choice to manifest this power. So you have as much power. We'll see. We'll see it in the book of Ephesians that that's great power that arose Jesus from the leaves inside of you.

8:53 So we'll see it in the book of Ephesians. So we have this power. Why is the power not producing result? Just stay with me until we find the answers to this then. The next point is that both fruit of the Spirit and the gift of the Spirit require power to be manifested. So power is not all about science and wonders, miracles. Power is also demonstrated in Lovejoy, peace, long-suffering. You know, long-suffering is actually the Greek, the interpretation from the Greek word of that was used there instead of patience.

9:30 Patience is part of long-suffering. OK. So long-suffering, kindness, goodness, and the rest of it requires power to be the fruits of the spirits. So as much power that is required to work in science, miracles and wonders is the same power that is required to love. The same power then the currency of power is love. Why he said that it is the currency is because love provides a channel through which power is manifested. Whenever Jesus was doing miracles in the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, you see that the the Bible always talked about and he had compassion on them.

10:13 Compassion is a product of love. He so much love these people that he's not happy to see them in their current situation. And so he cannot help but heal. Compassion is one of the greatest tool that if you have it, you'll be able to walk in power. In fact, it will make you to pursue power because one of the thing. Let me Share your story before we go deep into the deep things of power. So there was a situation I saw somebody in and it was a sickness, a very serious 1 and I I was passed through that before and I even had a surgery for it.

10:52 And when the person came to me and talked about it, I really had so much compassion. 1 is that I understand the pain that the person was passing through. Jesus had to come in form of man in order to really understand what men are passing through and to see what is troubling these men. OK so I saw how he was passing, what he was passing through because I passed through the situation and I began to have mercy and compassion on this person. I began to have compassion not miss God gives us mercy or a book but I also show mercy to people and it made me to start asking God to heal this person.

11:32 I was telling God that I don't want this person to pass through the surgery. I passed through and I prayed for the person. At first I did not see any results. The second one I did not see results, I think until the third one and then the pain stopped, the mass started regressing and then disappeared. So that was one of it. OK, so compassion is one of the biggest tool. When you love people, you can't afford to see them suffering and do nothing about it. One of the things that moved me at some point is that how can somebody be sick?

12:08 And there's nothing I can do about it. It was spinning me. So this person, the only thing I can say is sorry, eh? And the highest I can do is to pray. You know, Jesus does not ask us to pray for the sick. Let me be shaking some tables today. Jesus does not ask us to pray for the sick. He asked us to heal the sick. He asked us to heal the sick. He said you shall lay hands on the sick and they will recover. Now when he was sending his disciples in Matthew chapter 10, he said, you know, he send them as cast out devils and heal the sick.

12:40 So when you go to pray for a sick person, one mindset you should have of today is that I'm not just going there to lay hands. I am going there to heal. I'm not going there to pray. I'm going there to heal. Prayer is part of it. You have to pray now because you will have to call the name of Jesus. But you have that mindset that I don't just want to fulfill your righteousness. I want to see results. I want to see results. So these are the things that I need us to understand. Then power is of so much necessity because even Jesus could not manifest on earth without power.

13:18 So I don't know how you want to also leave your Christianity without power. We must look for power, must find this power. Now in Genesis chapter one verse one, the Bible said in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was void and empty and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the deep. And God said let there be light and there was light as the first definition of power, calling things that being off and they appear and God demonstrated it for us in the book of Genesis.

13:53 In fact, the Bible began with power.

13:57 The Bible began with power. So the Bible said and God said, let's there be light and there was instantly there was lights. That is power. When you speak you see results. That is power. And then he now said, and the law saw that the light was good. It means that this power produces what is good. Any power that does not produce what is good is not the real power. OK, so the real power, the power of God, produces what is good. One of the natures of God is omnipotence, and that means that he is to all powerful God.

14:43 And he doesn't just have power over all things and everything, You also have the power to put his power under his control. Because The thing is not about having power, but is the power controlling you. You see that there are people who are are in positions of authority. Later we'll see that this kind of power known as RK, that's the positional authority that people can demonstrate when they are on in authority. You see that the moment they go into power, the power begins to corrupt them. God is not like that.

15:22 He's so powerful. He has all the power you can think of. In fact, you cannot even imagine how much power God has. The Bible said about Jesus that he's the express image of the invisible God, and he upholds all things by the words of his power. By the words of his power, the moment any word of God fails, the moment every universe would collapse. So the whole universe is upheld by the power. So the our life is under the message of God's power. If the power fails today, every single thing created, visible and invisible, will disappear.

16:05 So the whole world is under the control of the world of His power. So the book of Genesis began with the definition of power. Then when we go to the life of Jesus in Mark, John, Acts chapter 10 verse 38, the Bible spoke about how Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power. There are many offices of the Christ. There's the divinity of Jesus and there's the humanity of Jesus. The divinity of Jesus makes him to be worshipped and the humanity of Jesus made him to the to to become the acceptable lamb, knowing that the the the soul that seen it must die.

16:50 And it was man that sinned. And so Jesus could come in the form of man having the righteousness of God that is spotless without wrinkles and become the acceptable sacrifice. So he came in form of man. So there are there are the essential and there are the divine natures of Jesus. So Jesus is both God, and he's also a man. Before he came, appeared in the flesh, he was all God, in essence, God. He's of the same essence as the Father. Omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent, He's all of that. And the moment Jesus became flesh, he became the Son of God.

17:31 And the office he also acquired when he became flesh was also the Son of Man because he was born of the Virgin Mary. And so he acquired an office known as the Son of Man. Then the next thing that Jesus, the other office that Jesus had was also the office of the Christ. And that was the one that root of salvation. OK. So understanding the various offices of the Christ of Jesus will be able to help us to understand to some extent what power really is. Because when Jesus came, he highlighted 2 things what who really God is.

18:09 Because the Bible said in the book of Hebrews chapter one, that is the express image of the invisible God. And so if since we are also created in his image, he needed to show us what we really look like and then he is also fully man. So he's 100% God and he manifested 100% man, having flesh and blood as we do. That was why when he was pierced, when he died, Rabu said that blood and water came out. So he was 100% God and he was 100% man. And so he came to show us who God is and who man is. So if you want to understand who God is, you have to look at the person of Jesus.

18:50 And if you want to understand who man is, you also have to look at the person of Jesus, because we are also created in the image of God. And so when Jesus came about walking and moving in power, it means that you too needs to also work in power. So there's a scripture, maybe we'll come to it later, when Jesus was referring himself as the Son of man. So he said something that the Son of man has power to forgive sins. And when he begins to refer himself as the Son of man, because when you see Jesus in this in the Bible, he referred himself as the Son of man and the Son of God and the Christ.

19:32 And also people refer him as the Christ. And these offices are very important. Whenever he's talking about the Son of Man, it means that whatsoever he was doing with that, we are capable of doing it. You know, this, this, this, this, this is so important because you don't even said that for anyone that believes in me, these same things I do He will do and greater. There's a definition I gave to living. They, some people are merely existing. They are not even living. We begin to live while we have reached the threshold, and the threshold is Christ.

20:08 The threshold is Jesus Christ. So once we have begun to live like Jesus, we have no started living. We are just existing and for us to live like Jesus we need power. Thank. You so much Sir, Thank you. We really love what you did to Details of Power. You went line upon line, process upon process. Yeah, a little day, a little to everyone that listened. To be honest, I every question that kept on coming off maybe to ask, he kept on like he answered all of them. Just I had just reached or wait for him to reach there.

20:45 He just answered it. I was like most man to use. So the question he asked in the beginning, I'm very sure if I should know it, it said why is power not producing results? By now you should know the reason. Amen. So thank you so much, Sir. I really appreciate to everyone that listen, God bless you.
