The Power of a Man of God
Do you realize the incredible power that a man or woman of God posses?
If you have accepted Christ as your Savior do you realize that the Holy Spirit lives within you? Do you understand what that means?
Do others around you see the power of God in your life?
In 2 Kings 1 we see what can happen when Christians truly live as though the have the power of God flowing through their veins. In this opening chapter of 2 Kings we read about how fire came down and consumed the enemies (the 2 captains) of Elijah the prophet. The King had sent these 2 captains to summon Elijah down from the Hill. These two men essentially attempted to order Elijah of of the hill. When the 3rd captain arrived he had learned from the mistakes of the first 2. He had a much different attitude when he approached the prophet. He humbled himself before Elijah and acknowledged that he was a "Man of God" and that because of this he had great power. Because of this change in attitude this captain's life and the lives of the 50 men with him were spared (unlike the 1st two groups).
So do people see the power of God in your life? If not, why not?
Is it because you are not living like the Holy Spirit lives in you or is it because the Holy Spirit does not live in you?
It is something to ponder on! :)
