HINDRANCES TO THE MANIFESTATION OF DIVINE EMPOWERMENT (PART 2) – 1 THESSALONIANS 5:19

SOME MAJOR HINDRANCES TO MANIFESTATION OF DIVINE EMPOWERMENT (CONTD)

3. WORLDLY LIVING & CARNALITY

You cannot be filled with the Spirit and be filled with the world at the same time (Check Ephesians 5:18).

▪︎ Apostle Paul said that the flesh fights against the Spirit (Galatians 5:17) “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.”

▪︎ He also says in Romans 8:7-8  “The carnal mind is enmity against God”

▪︎ Imagine two people fighting to drive one car.

▪︎ Carnality means a strong focus on the physical needs, desires, and passions of the body rather than on spiritual things.

▪︎ The Corinthians had gifts but were carnal, so the power was limited (See 1Corinthians 3:1-3).

▪︎ The remedy is to walk in the Spirit daily (Galatians 5:16).

4. DISOBEDIENCE

Disobedience blocks the flow of the Spirit. 

▪︎ To obey is better than sacrifice (1Samuel 15:22)

▪︎ Partial obedience is still disobedience. Saul lost the kingdom because of partial obedience (1 Samuel 15:1-3,9,14-15,22-23)

▪︎ When you disobey God either totally or partially, power waits.

▪︎ The remedy is prompt obedience, even in small things.

5: FEAR AND INTIMIDATION

Fear is the opposite of faith. Faith cannot operate where fear exists, and vice versa.

▪︎ Fear is a spirit that prevents you from stepping out in power.  It shuts the mouth and paralyzes the hand. 2 Timothy 1:7 says “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

▪︎ The 10 spies saw giants and their hearts melted (Numbers 13:32-33). Compare verse 30.

▪︎To Intimidate means to frighten or threaten someone, usually to make them feel nervous, lose their confidence, or do something they do not want to do. It makes a chistian to chicken out where courage is required. Like in the case of the 10 spies.

▪︎ The remedy is to be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:10). Speak the Word of faith in confidence: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13).

6: LACK OF PRAYER AND TARRYING

This makes us try to operate in our own strength. 

Acts 4:31 says: “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.”

▪︎ Jesus Christ told His disciples in Luke 24:49: “…tarry in the city of Jerusalem, until you are endued with power from on high.”

▪︎ To tarry is to stay somewhere longer than expected or to delay leaving. We must learn to tarry in God’s presence(in prayer).

▪︎ A prayerless christian lives as a powerless person.

▪︎ The remedy is to devote yourself to prayer and the Word (Acts 6:4).

7: WRONG MOTIVE AND PRIDE

Power is for God’s glory, not ours. 

▪︎ If the motive for wanting power to manifest is wrong, it will not.

▪︎ Simon the sorcerer wanted power for fame and money (Acts 8:18-21).

▪︎ Wrong motives can hinder prayers from being answered. James 4:3 says: “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss.”

▪︎ The remedy is to seek first the kingdom (Matthew 6:33).

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Share a time when you felt the power of God was blocked. What would you say was the cause?

2.  How can we create an atmosphere in our home where the Spirit/Power can manifest freely?

CONCLUSION

As christians with the Holy Spirit in us, we carry divine power, which is meant to help us fulfil the purpose of God for our lives. However, we must be mindful of these hindrances, so that we can operate in the full capacity of the power we carry. May God help us so to do in Jesus’ name.

PRAYERS

1.  Father, forgive me of every sin that has grieved Your Spirit.

2.  Lord, break every spirit of fear, doubt and pride in my life.

3.  Holy Spirit, I surrender to You. Empower me afresh for my assignment.

4.  Let every power holding back my manifestation be destroyed in Jesus’ name.   

FINAL DECLARATION

“Holy Spirit, I repent of every hindrance; Today, I choose to walk in obedience; Fill me afresh; Let Your power manifest in my life, for divine fulfillment in Jesus name.”

EMPOWERED AS KINGDOM PARTNERS – Ephesians 2:8–10; 1 Corinthians 3:5–9

August Focus: Empowered for Divine Fulfillment — Acts 1:8

Key Truth: God saved us by grace, recreated us in Christ for good works, and graciously invited us to participate in His Kingdom work. The work is His, the power is His, and the glory must be His.

INTRODUCTION — SAVED TO WALK WITH HIM AND WORK WITH HIM

We have established this month that the Holy Spirit is God’s power at work in and through the believer. Jesus said, “Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you” (Acts 1:8).

But power for what?

God does not empower His children for spiritual display or frivolities. He empowers us to manifest Christ, do His will, advance His Kingdom, and fulfil His purpose.

Ephesians 2:8–10 gives us the progression. We are saved by grace, not by works; yet the same grace that saves us recreates us in Christ “unto good works.”

God saved us first to be with Him, and then to walk with Him and work for Him. Jesus demonstrated this when He called the disciples “that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth” (Mark 3:14).

So our journey is:

  • Saved by Him → Belonging to Him → Walking with Him → Working with Him → Fulfilling His purpose.

This is Kingdom partnership.

  1. THE WORK BELONGS TO GOD — WE ARE INVITED PARTNERS

1 Corinthians 3:5–9

Paul writes:

  • “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” — 1 Corinthians 3:6

This statement puts Kingdom work in proper perspective

Paul planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

God is the Owner of His work. He is not looking for partners because He is helpless without us. Paul declares that God is not served by human hands “as though he needed any thing” (Acts 17:25). He is El Shaddai—the Almighty God (Genesis 17:1), sufficient in Himself.

Therefore, when God invites us into His work, He is extending a privilege, not addressing a deficiency.

Paul says:

  • “For we are labourers together with God…” — 1 Corinthians 3:9

This does not make us God’s equals. We are servants participating in the work of the sovereign God. He owns the field; He determines the assignment; He gives the increase.

This means we cannot dictate the terms of God’s business. We cannot insist on our own pace, pattern, position, preference, or recognition. Jesus remains Lord of His Church (Matthew 16:18; Colossians 1:18).

This is especially important on a Church-in-Conference Sunday. We come with different backgrounds, generations, experiences, and opinions. But the ultimate question is not:

“What do I want?”

It is:

  • “What does Christ want for His Church?”

Our preferences must bow before His purpose.

Kingdom Truth

The Church is Christ’s. The work is Christ’s. We are privileged participants, and God alone gives the increase.

  1. GOD SAVED AND PREPARED EVERY BELIEVER FOR GOOD WORKS- Ephesians 2:8–10

Paul carefully holds two truths together:

  • “By grace are ye saved through faith… not of works.”

Then:

  • “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.”

So we must never confuse the order:

  • We are not saved BY good works; we are saved UNTO good works.

The word translated “workmanship” (poiēma) emphasizes something made or produced. Before God works through us, He first works in us.

In Christ, we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). God saves us, shapes us, gives us His Spirit, places us in His body, and prepares us for His purpose.

And Paul says these are “good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).

Every child of God therefore has a place in God’s purpose.

The assignments may differ. Some teach, some lead, some give, some encourage, some serve, some show mercy (Romans 12:6–8). One generation may have strength and innovation; another has experience and resources; another carries wisdom gained through years of walking with God.

Different assignments—one Kingdom.

But notice that Scripture says “good works,” not simply works.

Not everything done in God’s name necessarily represents God’s will.

Paul warns:

  • “The fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.” — 1 Corinthians 3:13

We can be busy without being fruitful. We can maintain activity while missing assignment.

The question is not merely, “Am I doing something?” but:

  • “Am I doing what God has prepared for me, in the way Christ would have me do it?”

We were created “in Christ Jesus” unto good works. Therefore, God’s work must also reflect Christ’s pattern and character (Philippians 2:5; Colossians 3:17).

We cannot do Christ’s work with an un-Christlike spirit.

The Vineyard Warning

Isaiah 5:1–4 pictures God carefully preparing a vineyard—fencing it, removing stones, planting choice vines and preparing everything necessary for fruitfulness. In context, the vineyard represents Israel and Judah, from whom God expected righteousness and justice (Isaiah 5:7).

The principle is sobering: divine investment calls for fruitfulness.

God has invested much in us—salvation, His Word, His Spirit, gifts, opportunities, resources, years, influence and fellowship.

Jesus says:

  • “I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit.” — John 15:16

So ask yourself:

What has God invested in me—and what is His Kingdom receiving from that investment?

  1. KINGDOM PARTNERS WORK TOGETHER WITH WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN THEM

1 Corinthians 3:6–9; 1 Peter 4:10

Paul planted.

Apollos watered.

Neither could replace the other, and neither could produce the increase.

Paul therefore says:

  • “He that planteth and he that watereth are one.” — 1 Corinthians 3:8

This is the heart of Kingdom partnership.

We partner with God, but we must also learn to partner with one another.

God’s Church cannot function biblically as a collection of competitors. Paul describes the church as one body with many members, each contributing something necessary to the whole (1 Corinthians 12:12–27).

Therefore, the pastor has a part.

The deacons have a part.

Church officers have a part.

Young people have a part.

Adults have a part.

Everyone has a part.

Peter says:

  • “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another…” — 1 Peter 4:10

Kingdom partnership means placing whatever God has entrusted to us at His disposal—our spiritual gifts, time, finances, abilities, experience, influence, opportunities, relationships and strength (Romans 12:6–8; Ephesians 5:15–16; 2 Corinthians 9:7–8).

The question is not whether we all have the same resources.

What is already in your hand that belongs to God’s purpose?

A young person’s creativity and digital skills can advance the Gospel.

A professional’s expertise can strengthen the ministry.

A businessperson’s resources can support mission.

An older believer’s wisdom, mentoring and prayer can shape another generation.

No gift is insignificant when surrendered to Christ.

And no gift should become a source of pride, because:

  • “God gave the increase.”

This also gives Church-in-Conference spiritual meaning. Conference is not simply administration, voting, reports, or finances. It is a shared stewardship of Christ’s Church. We listen, deliberate, decide, give, serve and cooperate under the Lordship of Christ.

We may not always think alike, but we must pursue the same Kingdom purpose.

Kingdom Truth:

  • Different gifts. Different assignments. Different generations. But one Lord, one Church, one mission, and one goal—the glory of God.

CONCLUSION — EMPOWERED FOR HIS PURPOSE

Why has God empowered us?

Not merely to feel powerful.

Not for spiritual exhibition.

Not simply for personal success.

  • He empowers us to fulfil His purpose.

Ephesians says:

We are His workmanship.

Corinthians says:

We are His workers.

Acts says:

We are His empowered witnesses.

And yet through it all, God remains the Owner, the Source, and the One who gives the increase.

Therefore, Kingdom partnership can be summarized simply:

  • God owns the work.

God prepares the workers.

God’s workers cooperate.

The Holy Spirit supplies the power.

God gives the increase.

And God receives the glory.

So on this Church-in-Conference Sunday, let us move beyond asking:

“What is my church doing for me?”

And begin asking:

  • “Lord, what part of Your work have You entrusted to me?”
  • What has God entrusted to me that I must now use more faithfully for His Kingdom?

May our gifts, resources, experience, influence, strength, and opportunities be available to Christ.

And when our work is finally tested, may it not merely be said that we were busy, but that we were faithful (1 Corinthians 3:13–14; 4:2).

HINDRANCES TO THE MANIFESTATION OF DIVINE EMPOWERMENT – 1 THESSALONIANS 5:19

INTRODUCTION

Divine Empowerment is the Holy Spirit’s dunamis power given to believers to live, serve, and fulfill God’s purpose while Manifestation speaks of the visible proof and operation of that power in our lives.

God has already empowered us, but some things can block, delay, or quench that power from becoming operative and evident in our lives.

SOME MAJOR HINDRANCES TO MANIFESTATION OF DIVINE EMPOWERMENT

1. UNCONFESSED SIN

Every sin must be confessed and repented of.

▪︎ Sin breaks fellowship with God and grieves the Holy Spirit.  See Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you.”

▪︎ The Spirit left Samson because of sin (Judges 16:20).

▪︎ The remedy is repentance and cleansing (1John 1:9).

2. UNBELIEF AND DOUBT

Unbelief makes the power of God of no effect in your life. 

▪︎ Mark 6:5-6 says “Now He (Jesus) could do no mighty work there (His own country)… And He marveled because of their unbelief.”

▪︎ If you doubt the efficacy of the power in you, it will not manifest as it should.

▪︎ The disciples could not cast out the demon because of little faith (Matthew 17:19-20).

▪︎ The remedy is to ask God to increase your faith (Mark 9:24).

WORLDLY LIVING & CARNALITY

Apostle Paul said that the flesh fights against the Spirit (Galatians 5:17) “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.”

▪︎ He also says in Romans 8:7-8  “The carnal mind is enmity against God”

▪︎ Carnality means a strong focus on the physical needs, desires, and passions of the body rather than on spiritual and mental things.

▪︎ The Corinthians had gifts but were carnal, so the power was limited (See 1 Corinthians 3:1-3).

▪︎ The remedy is to walk in the Spirit daily (Galatians 5:16).

4. DISOBEDIENCE

Disobedience blocks the flow of the Spirit. 

▪︎ To obey is better than sacrifice.

▪︎ Saul lost the kingdom because of partial obedience (1 Samuel 15:1-3,9,14-15,22-23)

▪︎ The remedy is prompt obedience, even in small things.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Share a time when you felt the power of God was blocked. What did you think was the cause?

2.  How can we create an atmosphere in our home/cell where the Spirit can manifest freely?

Prayer of Consecration

_“Holy Spirit, search me and know me. Remove every hindrance. Fill me afresh for divine fulfillment.”_ _Psalm 139:23-24_

…To be continued.

PRAYER POINTS

1.  Father, forgive me of every sin that has grieved Your Spirit.

2.  Lord, break every spirit of fear, doubt and pride in my life.

3.  Let every power holding back my manifestation be destroyed in Jesus name.

EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR DIVINE FULFILMENT – ACTS 1:8; DANIEL 11:32B

Key Truth: God never gives an assignment without supplying the power to accomplish it. No child of God can truly manifest Christ or fulfil God’s purpose without the Holy Spirit. Divine fulfilment is doing the will of God and completing the purpose for which He has called us.

INTRODUCTION

Acts 1 records Jesus’ final instruction to His disciples before His ascension. They had walked with Him for over three years. They had heard His teaching, witnessed His miracles, seen His crucifixion, and encountered Him after His resurrection. Yet despite all they knew and had experienced, Jesus did not permit them to proceed with their divine assignment without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

He commanded them to wait: “…tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” — Luke 24:49

Then He declared: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me…” — Acts 1:8

This establishes an enduring Kingdom principle: God’s work requires God’s power.

Knowledge is important. Training is valuable. Natural ability has its place. But none can substitute for the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. No child of God can adequately manifest the life of Christ or fulfil God’s purpose merely by human strength.

This is why Zechariah 4:6 declares: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Divine fulfilment is more than personal success or achievement. It is becoming what God intends, doing His will, and completing His assignment for our lives (Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 2:13; 2 Timothy 4:7).

Acts 1:8 is therefore not merely a promise of power; it reveals God’s method for accomplishing His purposes through His people.

I. THE SOURCE OF DIVINE POWER- Acts 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…”

Notice that Jesus did not say, “You shall produce power,” but “You shall receive power.”

Divine power is not self-generated. It is received from God through the Holy Spirit.

The disciples already had a divine assignment: “Ye shall be witnesses unto me.” But before the assignment came empowerment: “Ye shall receive power.”

This establishes an important order:

DIVINE PURPOSE → DIVINE EMPOWERMENT → DIVINE FULFILLMENT

God does not expect us to fulfil a supernatural assignment merely with natural ability.

The Holy Spirit is God’s enabling presence in the believer—God’s ability working through human weakness. He empowers us for holy living, effective witness, faithful service, perseverance, and the accomplishment of God’s will.

Paul therefore prayed: “…to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.” Ephesians 3:16

Divine empowerment begins within before it manifests without. God strengthens the person before He works through the person.

II. KNOWING GOD AND WALKING IN HIS POWER- Daniel 11:32b

“…but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.”

Daniel 11:32 gives us another dimension of divine empowerment. The immediate context describes a season of intense opposition, corruption and pressure against God’s covenant people. Some would be corrupted by flatteries, “but” those who knew their God would respond differently.

The contrast is significant; Their strength arose from knowing their God.

The Hebrew idea of knowing here goes beyond possessing information about God. It speaks of relational and experiential knowledge—a life rooted in confidence in God’s character and faithfulness. KNOWING GOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWING ABOUT GOD

Daniel’s own life illustrates this. He knew God and therefore remained faithful when obedience became costly (Daniel 1:8; 6:10). His three Hebrew companions knew their God and therefore could stand before Nebuchadnezzar and declare, “our God whom we serve is able to deliver us” (Daniel 3:17–18).

Daniel 11:32 then says such people “shall be strong, and do exploits.” The emphasis is on standing firm and taking action. Biblical exploits are therefore not merely spectacular accomplishments. They include courageous obedience, steadfast faith, effective service and decisive action for God’s purpose.

There is a beautiful progression:

KNOW GOD → BE STRONG → TAKE ACTION

And in the New Covenant, Acts 1:8 shows how God’s people are empowered for that action:

RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT → RECEIVE POWER → BECOME CHRIST’S WITNESSES

Therefore, we must not separate knowing God from depending upon His Spirit. The deeper our fellowship with God, the more completely our lives should come under the influence and empowerment of His Spirit.

Paul captures both ideas: “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection…” — Philippians 3:10

III. UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF GOD

The word translated “power” in Acts 1:8 is the Greek dunamis, conveying ability, might, power or effective working.

This divine power is not primarily emotional excitement or outward demonstration. It is God effectively working in and through His people.

Romans 8:11 reminds us that the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in believers. Paul similarly speaks of “the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe” (Ephesians 1:19–20).

This power is expressed in several complementary ways:

A. Power Manifested as Anointing– Luke 4:18; Acts 10:38; 1 John 2:20, 27

The anointing is the Holy Spirit’s consecrating and enabling presence for God’s work. Jesus declared:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me…” — Luke 4:18

Acts 10:38 likewise describes how “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power.”

The anointing enables believers to serve beyond mere natural ability. Its purpose is not personal recognition but effective service and the manifestation of Christ.

Reflection: Am I depending merely on my gifts, or on the Spirit who empowers them?

B. Power Manifested as Authority- Luke 10:19; Matthew 28:18–20

Power speaks of ability; authority speaks of the delegated right to act.

Jesus possesses all authority: “All power [authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” — Matthew 28:18

From that position, He commissions His Church to go, make disciples and represent Him in the world (Matthew 28:19–20).

Our authority is therefore never independent of Christ. We exercise His authority while remaining under His authority.

C. Power Manifested as Grace- 2 Corinthians 12:9; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Hebrews 4:16

Grace is not only God’s undeserved favour; Scripture also presents grace as God’s active enablement.

Paul testified: “I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” — 1 Corinthians 15:10

This is divine fulfilment: Paul worked, but God’s grace empowered the work.

Grace strengthens us to persevere, resist temptation, endure difficulty and remain faithful to divine assignment.

God told Paul: “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

Human weakness therefore need not terminate divine purpose. Where our sufficiency ends, God’s sufficiency remains.

IV. WHY DOES GOD EMPOWER HIS PEOPLE?

The purpose of divine power is never self-exaltation but Kingdom advancement.

The Holy Spirit never draws attention to Himself or to the believer. His ministry is to glorify Jesus Chris

The Holy Spirit empowers believers:

  • To be effective witnesses (Acts 1:8).
  • To live holy and victorious lives (Galatians 5:16, 22–25).
  • To serve the Church with spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4–11).
  • To fulfil God’s divine purpose (Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 2:13).
  • To glorify Christ in all things (John 16:13–14).

CONCLUSION: EMPOWERED TO FULFIL

The Church does not advance by human wisdom, organisation, or strength alone. It advances by the power of the Holy Spirit. As Zechariah declared, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6).

The same Spirit who empowered the early Church now dwells in every believer. As we depend on Him, He anoints us for service, authorises us in Christ’s name, and supplies grace for every assignment. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are equipped to walk in God’s purpose and experience divine fulfilment.

God’s work requires God’s power. God’s purpose requires God’s Spirit. And when God’s people know their God and yield themselves to His Spirit, they are empowered for divine fulfilment.

EMPOWERED FOR DIVINE FULFILLMENT – ACTS 1:8

INTRODUCTION

God has a divine purpose for every believer. His desire is not only for us to know His will but also to accomplish it. However, divine assignments cannot be fulfilled through human wisdom, strength, or talent alone. God empowers His children through the Holy Spirit to live victoriously, serve effectively, overcome obstacles, and fulfil His divine purpose.

To be “empowered” means to be endued with God’s enabling power, ability, and strength to do what you cannot do by yourself. Check Ephesians 3:20.

“Divine Fulfillment” speaks of God’s purpose for your life coming to pass.

▪︎Not just personal success, but completing what God ordained for you. See Ephesians 2:10.

▪︎The Holy Spirit is given to us so we can fulfill God’s purpose.

THE SOURCE OF OUR EMPOWERMENT (HOLY SPIRIT)

We cannot fulfill divine purpose with human strength. Zechariah 4:6 says “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”

Luke 24:49 says “Tarry until you are endued with power from on high”

▪︎ Believers of today are already empowered because the Holy Spirit is in them. Romans 8:11 says “The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.”

THE PURPOSE OF OUR EMPOWERMENT (TO BE WITNESSES)

In Acts 1:8, Jesus connected “Empowerment” with “Assignment” and “Fulfillment.”

▪︎Divine Power is not for show or pride. It is for assignment.

▪︎Our first assignment is witnessing “…you shall be witnesses to Me.” See also 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 (Ministry of reconciliation)

▪︎Witnessing is not only by carrying bible to preach but also through your character, attitude, speech, and through whatever platform God has placed you. Check Matthew 28:18-20.

▪︎Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Ends of the earth means start with your home, expand to your community, nation, and world. 

▪︎God has empowered every believer to represent Him wherever they are.

THE RESULT OF OUR EMPOWERMENT (DIVINE FULFILLMENT)

When we are Spirit-empowered, God’s plan for us cannot fail.

Philippians 2:13 says “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure”_

▪︎Ephesians 2:10 says “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand.”

▪︎Fulfillment is finishing your God-given assignment with joy.

Reflection: 1. What is the difference between human ambition and “Divine Fulfillment”?

2. Why do believers still run around looking for what they already have in Christ?

CONCLUSION

As a Christian believer, everything you need to live a successful and fulfilled life here on earth has been deposited in your spirit man by the virtue of the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you. You have been empowered to fulfil the plan and purpose of God for your life. Believe it, receive it by faith and it will manifest in your life.
