Living
in the Power of the Kingdom
ENABLES YOU TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF
PEOPLE
They wandered the roadsides like homeless men, but those in need
came to them.1 It all
started with a man who had no concern for himself, but a deep burden for the
needs of others. He left his steady job
as a carpenter and became consumed with helping people become part of The Kingdom. He gathered a group of followers and began
to teach them about living in The Power
of The Kingdom. Because of His compassionate love for others
He demonstrated The Power of The Kingdom
by ministering to every request brought to Him. He taught His followers not to be concerned
about their own needs because Father God promised that if they made living in The Power of The Kingdom their number
one priority every need they had would be met.2 They just needed to live daily in a committed
relationship to God. Who was this group of men? Jesus and His followers!3
Those who spend time with Jesus
each day grow to become like Him.4
They are secure in the knowledge that God loves them and will take
care of every need they have as they seek to live in obedience to His Spirit. Because they are secure in God’s
love they have a compassionate love for people and a desire to be used
of God to meet the needs they see. Out of their relationship with God
they come to realize only God
can meet the real needs of people. The Power
of God’s Kingdom can flow through them because they have grown
to know God, and they allow God’s Spirit to live in them and guide their lives.
They know it is this Power from
God that can solve the problems of
the world. They are aware it is the
world’s only hope, not people or governments.
Fellowship with God enables them to see the true needs, not just
the wants of people, because they see them through God’s eyes.5 When ministering to people they are careful
to point to God as the real source of
the need being met because they know God gave them the ability to meet the need.6 Those who spend time with Jesus
are able to meet every request for help that comes to them because they
know they can do something even if it’s simply to pray for the need.7
Do you want to meet the needs of your world? If you know God, He is calling you to be the answer to the problems of the
world around you.8 He wants you to grow to know Him so His Spirit can guide your life, and His Power can flow through you to meet the needs of
those who request help. If His Spirit lives in you, you can always
meet a need even if it’s just praying for it.
Living in God’s Power is the
way you can meet the needs of your world.
Question: Are you living in fellowship with God so His Power can flow
through you and meet people’s needs.
