POWER OF GOD

SCRIPTURE FOCUS 

Corinthians 1:18

> “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT 

In a generation alarmed grand intellectualism, the message of the cross seems unimpressive to many. It appears weak to the wise, too simple for scholars, and too humble for kings. Yet, it is here— The Crosss of Christ —that the eternal wisdom of God unveiled its most powerful act: the redemption of mankind.

To those who are perishing, the cross is offensive, But to us who are being saved, it is the very power of God. The church has, at times, been lured away from this foundational message, distracted by  philosophies, charimastic illusions and diluted theologies. But Paul reminds us, 

“I preach not myself, but Christ and Him crucified.”

 Christ the message of the church ... for  we do not preach encounters , nor dreams and human wisdom nor logic. 

Christ remains the centre of our faith and the foundation which we stand firmly . 

When Jesus cried, “It is finished,” He sealed a covenant that brought heaven to earth and man back to God. He became sin so we could become the righteousness of God in Him. There is no other door into the Kingdom but through the cross. There is no other life but the one He gives through His death.

Even after resurrection, Jesus still pointed back to the necessity of the cross. “O fools and slow of heart to believe,” He said, “ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” From Moses to the prophets, He expounded things concerning Himself. That’s the message—Himself. The gospel is not merely about blessings or breakthroughs. It is the invitation to Christ... a life that unfolds the kingdom of God daily within the believer.  

Finallt , lets  return to the weighty simplicity of the message of the cross of christ Jesus. Let it shape our lives , message,  ministry , and our mandate.

PRAYER 

Lord Jesus, thank You for the cross. Grant me.grace to preach it, live it, and find all my hope in it. Let Your sacrifice remain the center of my life and the message of my mouth and referenced in my live In Your name, Amen.

“Christ crucified is the power of God—the message, the Kingdom, and the way. We preach not ourselves, but Christ and Him crucified.”

DECLARATION 

I boldly declare today: I will not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. The message of the cross is the power of God unto salvation, and it is my eternal foundation.

DAILY CHALLENGE 

Reflect on your walk with God. Is the message of the cross central to your life, or has it become an accessory to other pursuits? Take time to read Luke 24:25–27 and Romans 1:16, and recommit to making Christ and Him crucified your core message.

FAITHFUL WHISPERS 

“Christ is the center of our call—the cross is the path we preach.” only Him and Him crucified.
