The Scripture
teaches that as believers we are constantly engaged in warfare
against the kingdom of darkness (Eph 6:12). One of the things about
war situations is that the adversary could attack at anytime. It
is therefore necessary that one is always at alert and fully equipped
to repel any attack and subdue the enemy.
A roaring
lion attacked Samson on his way, and the Spirit of God came upon
him mightily. He rent the lion as if it was a baby goat. What great
power one would exhibit in ones daily conflict against the kingdom
of darkness if one is endued by the Holy Spirit. Had the Spirit
not come upon Samson, he would have been powerless as any other
man, and would have been meat for the lion. When he returned to
the carcass of the lion, he found honey and bees, which became
his booty of war.
The Holy
Spirit is the Enabler in the Godhead. He releases the miracle working
power of God to His people. That is the power we need to overcome
in our daily warfare experiences to turn our battles into victories.
Jesus
told his disciples, “Behold, I give you the authority
to trample on serpents and scorpion, and over all the power of
the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke
10:19). After his resurrection and before his ascension to heaven,
he told them, “Tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you
be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). He
knew that they could not have made any reasonable impact in a world
dominated by evil without the empowerment of the Spirit. They truly
waited and received the power. No wonder they were able to do exploits
in spite of the oppositions they faced.
We all
as believers need the power of the Holy Spirit in order to guarantee
our victory against the kingdom of darkness. We need great power
to overcome all Satan-inspired obstacles and setbacks of life.
We need it to realize our live dreams and visions.
Pray-
Lord, endue me with your Holy Spirit. Amen.
