#524 – Our Power

Good morning people whose power comes from God

Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

Here’s the third attack from Satan on Jesus; the promise of power.

It’s interesting to note that Satan tried to offer Jesus what already belonged to God. He tried to make it sound like it was his to give but it wasn’t.

People today are seeking for recognition and success. It’s great to want to do well in life, to be a wise steward, but the enemy takes advantage of this desire and pollutes it.

God alone is all-powerful and He alone is the Source of true power and authority. The wonderful news is that now He has given us ‘authority over all the enemy’s power’ (Luke 10:19). Satan has been defeated and he has no true power to give. Yes he can give a distorted sense of power but in fact it is only control.

True power is rooted in love and being under authority. Our power comes from being loved by Love Himself and being under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
