” But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:24)
Apostle Paul wrote to the Colossian church that believers—whether Jews or Greeks—are complete in Christ:
“And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2:10)
In other words, Paul was affirming that everything in God dwells fully in Jesus Christ for the benefit of His believers. Among these divine attributes are the power and wisdom of God.
Jesus Christ, as God in the flesh, came to unite both Jewish and Gentile believers and to become a blessing to them all.
The Jews sought a Messiah who could demonstrate signs, miracles, and wonders through divine power . The Greeks (Gentiles), on the other hand, looked for a wise leader—one capable of innovation and profound insight for creativity.
Beloved, are you longing to fully benefit from Christ through His miraculous power and divine creativity? All you need to do is enter into a relationship with Him and consistently nurture that union. God can do anything within the realm of your thoughts and prayers, according to His power at work in Christ. (Ephesians 3:20)
Jesus performed countless wonders during His earthly ministry. With His Spirit dwelling in you, greater works can be done—if only you believe (John 14:12). By the power of His spoken word, Jesus created everything out of nothing. You can share in His ability to innovate and create, if His light—His divine revelation and bright ideas—resides in you (John 1:4).
Jesus came not to be a burden, but a Burden-Bearer, because He possesses both the power and wisdom of God. Until you connect with Him, you cannot truly be an asset to your world. Until His power and wisdom are released into your life, you risk remaining a liability—irrelevant in a world where you are called to shine.
Brethren, it is time to shine in this world of darkness—creating solutions and providing what humanity needs. “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19)
We already have what it takes to build a world of wonders and reflect God’s glory: Christ, the Power and the Wisdom of God. You’re a SHINING LIGHT!
Prayer : Father of Light, make me A SHINING light to the nation: a SHINING LIGHT to the people of this world through the manifestation of your power and wisdom in Jesus Name. AMEN
