Embracing the Power of God: The Call to Spread and Create……..
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the profound spiritual principles that can transform our lives. Last week’s sermon focused on the powerful notion of “letting five spread,” encouraging us to understand how the power of God can work through us and lead to remarkable outcomes. This week, we are called to take the next step: embracing the opportunity to not only let this divine energy spread but also to use it in creating something meaningful.
The phrase “letting five spread” refers to the principle of sharing the abundance and influence of God’s power, not just within the confines of the Church but into the broader world. It’s a call for each of us to act as conduits of divine blessings—spreading love, kindness, compassion, and strength wherever we go. This is not a passive act; it’s an active invitation to create change in the world by embracing the transformative power that comes from God.
Understanding the Power of God in Creation
When we talk about the power of God, we are not merely speaking of a vague, abstract force. We are referring to the same creative power that brought the universe into existence, that raised the dead, and that breathed life into humanity. The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth with a word. His power is not limited by time or space, and it is not confined to the past. His power is still at work in the world today, shaping and reshaping the lives of those who open their hearts to Him.
One of the most profound ways we can experience the power of God is by creating. Whether it is through art, writing, music, or even the acts of kindness we perform for others, creation is a way for us to channel God’s energy into tangible forms. Every act of creation can be a reflection of God’s image and an opportunity to bring about His Kingdom on earth. This act of creation is not just about making things—it’s about creating with purpose and in alignment with God’s will.
The Invitation to Create
Creation is central to the Christian experience. We are called to be co-creators with God, to use our unique talents and abilities to make the world a better place. This does not mean that we are merely imitators of God’s creative work, but that we are partners in His ongoing mission to restore and redeem the world.
As followers of Christ, we are equipped with the Holy Spirit, whose power enables us to do far more than we could imagine on our own. We are called to create, not out of our own strength, but by tapping into the unlimited power of God. When we act in faith, allowing God to work through us, our creative efforts can bear fruit in ways that we never expected.
Think about the great works of history—the masterpieces of art, the transformative social movements, the groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Each of these was created by individuals who were willing to tap into something greater than themselves. They allowed God’s power to work through their hands, minds, and hearts. We too can be part of this movement by using the gifts God has given us to create in His name.
A Call to Action: Letting God’s Power Work Through You
This Sunday, as you reflect on the message from last week and prepare to embrace the power of God, take a moment to think about how you can actively participate in the creation process. It’s not enough to simply let God’s power spread—we must also be willing to take action and engage in the creative process that God has set before us.
Start by asking yourself: What are the areas in my life where I can make a difference? What are the talents and abilities that God has given me? How can I use these to glorify God and contribute to His Kingdom?
Sometimes, the simplest acts of creation can have the most profound impact. Helping a neighbor, writing a letter of encouragement, or even just sharing your testimony with someone who needs to hear it—these are all acts of creation that allow God’s power to flow through you.
If you feel uncertain about how to begin, don’t worry. God doesn’t expect perfection; He only asks for your willingness to participate. He will equip you, guide you, and empower you to create in ways that are far beyond your imagination.
Conclusion: Stepping into the Power of Creation
This week, as we gather together in worship, let us remember that we are not just passive recipients of God’s power. We are active participants in His creative work. Letting five spread is only the beginning. The true challenge lies in how we take that power and use it to create something new—whether in our own lives, in our communities, or in the world at large.
As we open ourselves to God’s power, we invite His divine presence to fill our hearts and hands. Through Him, we can create, we can change, and we can spread the light of His love to the darkest corners of the world. Don’t miss this opportunity to embrace the power of God and step into the calling to create a new reality for yourself and for others.
So, join us tomorrow, not just to receive a word, but to receive the power to create. Together, we can spread God’s love, His peace, and His creativity throughout the world. Let this be your chance to experience the transformative power of creation.
