Pursuing Power

For a disciple, pursuing Power means one thing - pursuing the presence of Jesus Christ.

Our vision of ‘making encountering and demonstrating the love of God the adventure of a lifetime’ was perfected by Jesus’ disciples. They journeyed with Jesus on an adventure of encounter and demonstration. And the result of this constant interaction with God was power.

We saw yesterday at LGC from Ephesians 3:14-20 that this power is to transform our inner-world (Power to Change), to help us understand our identity (Power to Comprehend), and to see the impossible become possible (Power to Create).

The life of a disciple is characterised by power, power to exist at a Kingdom of God level where anything is possible, where the Gospel carries authority, and we are able to reign above our flesh, the wold and the Devil (Ephesians 2:2-3a).

Our Disciples Adventure in 2019 will be lived through three pursuits: Love, Power and Purity. Church will be run to foster these key values in a disciple to equip us to reach the thousand ones in our city.

We will pursue Power through prayer, courses to equip us, visiting churches and events where we will encounter His empowering presence.

Ultimately it’s in His presence, and in encounters with the Holy Spirit, where the power is found to Change, Comprehend and Create. As well as in church activities, you can make God’s presence a priority in your life in 2019. And make worship a priority as you have your time with Him each day, letting His presence inhabit your praise.

We will carry the Kingdom with power in 2019. Let it start in us, and then flow out for our city.
