START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVEOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 2:4

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

A DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT’S POWER / 1 CORINTHIANS 2:4

Because of Paul’s humility and reliance on the Holy Spirit, powerful works of the Spirit characterized his ministry.

1. As evidence of the Holy Spirit’s power (1 Corinthians 1:18, 24), Paul’s preaching included how the Holy Spirit does the following: (a)Exposes people’s sin and convinces them of their need to get right with God through faith in the risen Christ (1 Corinthians chapters 5-6; John 16:8; Acts 2:36-41. (b) Transforms lives (1 Corinthians 1:26-27; Acts 4:13). (c) Brings spiritual purity, wholeness and purpose to the believer’s life (1 Corinthians 5:3-5). (d) Manifests His power through signs and miracles (Acts 2:29-33; 4:29-30; 5:12; 14:3; 2 Corinthians 12:12).
2. Several other New Testament passages point out how the preaching of the message about Jesus was accompanied by a special power of the Holy Spirit: Mark 16:17-18; Luke 10:19; Acts 28:3-6; Romans 15:19; 1 Corinthians 4:20; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; Hebrews 2:4.
3. All Christ’s followers – not only ministers – should pray that through their service for the Lord. (a) Individuals will come to know Jesus and be spiritually saved (Acts 2:41; 11:21, 24; 14:1). (b) New followers of Jesus I’ll be filled with the Holy Spirits (Acts 2:4; 4:31; 8:17; 19:6). (c) Evil spirits will be forced out of people’s lives (Acts 5:16; 8:7; 16:18). (d) the sick will be healed (Acts 3:6; 4:29-30: 14:10). (d) People will become true disciples (disciplined followers and learners) of Christ who obey His commands and live by His standards and teachings (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 11:23, 26).
