(Preaching The Gospel Requires The Supernatural)

TO THE BIBLE: Acts 1:8
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me….”

LET’S TALK
“I’m scared to talk about Jesus to my friends,” Michael admitted.
Joy replied, “You’re not alone. The Holy Spirit helps us.”
Michael nodded. “So, He’ll help me everytime I need to preach to someone?”

Preaching the Gospel requires the supernatural, even in schools, on social media, and among friends. Notice I didn’t say the “spectacular” but the supernatural.

The supernatural is that which is powered by the Spirit. The Spirit of God is in us and with us; He’s the power of our lives, helping us speak boldly and live right. Our sufficiency is in Him. 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves…”

The ministry you’ve been called into is the ministry of the Spirit, even as a young soul winner and example to others. Without Him, you cannot fulfil it; but with Him, nothing is impossible.

This is why your relationship with Him is absolutely vital. As much as God wanted the early disciples to go out and preach the Gospel, He gave them a profound instruction: “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49).

The empowerment came just as promised in Acts 2:1-4, when they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

From that moment, everything changed; it became dynamic evangelism, just like what can happen in your life today. They preached the Gospel with boldness and demonstrated the power of God.

The message He gave us is one that’s humanly difficult to believe without the supernatural, especially in today’s world. How much more, therefore, do we need it in our day!

You’re not the one trying to convince God to give you proof; He’s the one telling you that you need it. He’s the one offering it. Many pray, “O God, I want to preach the Gospel with power,” but He already knows that. He’s the one stirring that desire in your heart.

So, pay attention as He guides you in the steps to take, even in simple daily opportunities. Having received the Holy Spirit, you now have the power to be an effective witness, wherever you are.

Trust His Word. When He speaks to you and gives you guidance in your heart, receive it. His guidance is always supernatural, even when it may not appear outwardly spectacular.

Pray:
In the Name of the Lord Jesus, I function always in the power of the Spirit. I’m yielded to the Holy Spirit who inspires my thoughts, words, and confirms my message with miraculous signs and wonders. I’m a dispenser of divine power and solutions in my generation. Through me, lives are transformed, and nations are impacted by the Spirit of God. Amen.
