“Real power comes when we are able to create something or do something new, with the natural abilities we’ve been given.”
READ: Jeremiah 10:12
By Ben Dankaka
It might interest you to know that those who think they have to be tyrannical before exercising power are under the impression that power is acquired. Power is not picked up because it is an inborn ability – we are born with it. When you try to acquire power, you will no doubt, abandon your innate power - which is your original power and then find yourself acquiring a power that isn’t meant for you. Real power comes when we are able to create something or do something new with the innate abilities we’ve been given.
Scripture says, “God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding” (Jeremiah 10:12). Notice that when God created the earth, He neither exploited anyone nor asked anyone to do the work for Him. He created the earth by Himself, with His wisdom and understanding. Interestingly, the two qualities spring from His being. That is, from inside of God. If you want real power, you have to do what God did. Whether you want to create a product or business, it will require your wisdom and understanding. To be powerful, look inwards.
Prayer/Confession: Dear LORD, teach me your ways.
