Making Something out of Nothing: the Creative Power of God!
Genesis 1:1 New International Version (NIV)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Acts 1:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Acts 1:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
A Leader must understand, embrace, and utilize the Creative Power of God to fashion an environment in which people, are inspired, and encouraged to accomplish more than they ever dreamed possible.
The Creative Power of God. That same Creative Power that was there in the very beginning, in Genesis 1:1, the power that created the heavens and the earth. That very same Creative Power that called the light into being, and that separated the waters from the dry land, that Creative Power that was the beginning of mankind itself.
To Create means; "to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes." In the book of Isaiah, chapter 48 and verse 7, the Amplified Bible defines the word create as "called into being by the prophetic word"
As a Leader you will often be called upon to make something out of what appears to be nothing. Because there are so many things that influence state of mind, internal drive, and even the physical energy of an individual, you may find yourself called upon to "raise up an army" out of those that have been beat down, and are disheartened.
How is this done? This is accomplished by using the Creative Power of God.
1. Calling the things that are not, as though they are, (Romans 4:17).
2. Casting the vision God has given you, and keeping the vision before the people. (Habakkuk 2:2)
3. Speaking life into dry bones and dry situations. (Ezekiel 37:3-14)
4. Speaking the truth and being the light that we are called to be. (Mathew 5:13-16)
I call on each of you today to be the Creator that you are in His image, and to radiate the Power of God so that you are EFFECTIVE in achieving the purposes of God for His Kingdom.
