Page 8 - ENTERING INTO WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE
P. 8

TEXT: Jn. 14:16, Phil. 3:10, Lk. 10:38-42, Gen. 5:22-24
                       Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
               Father, but by me (John 14:6). That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and
               the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death (Phil 3:10). Now it
               came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named
               Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
               feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him,
               and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore
               that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful
               and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good
               part, which shall not be taken away from her (Luke 10:38-42). And Enoch walked with God
               after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the
               days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he
               was not; for God took him (Gen 5:22-24).

                       The greatest tragedy of this century is the inability of christians to exploit the power of

               the indwelling clause. By indwelling, I mean the inherent power within us because of the fact
               that Jesus Christ with all His ultimate power lives on the inside of us. The church of Jesus Christ

               is yet to explore and exploit all that Christ came to do. Three words describe the word ‘exploit’.


               1. Achievement


                       This means that we can achieve so much for Christ in winning the worlds to Him if we
               can explore His power.


               2. Venture


                       The second meaning of ‘exploit’ is venture. We can dabble into great things. Have more
               goals, have wider goals and achieve them if we can just take a step out of our comfort zone and

               find a way to do exploit through the power of Christ.


               3. Capitalize


                       This means to turn something into ones account. Most times, your belief is to capitalize
               on what should be capitalized upon. But the power of Christ is always available to you if you

               know how to do so. Then, the other one is to take advantage of what Christ brings. Our world
               can be better a place. Your life can be much better if you devout much time to know more about

               the power of Christ and explore and take advantage all your possibilities in Him. You may be a
