Power With God 1 Corinthians 2 Verse 5 Covenant Daily Devotions

 

Label - Covenant Daily Devotions

The Power of God 

1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

I was walking down the hallway at work when I saw two women with a three-tired shelf full of disinfected wipes.  As I watched them begin to unload the wipes on a table they said to each other, "Leave a note on the Housekeeping Supervisor's desk and let him know that these need to be returned they are not approved to kill covid and they are about to expire."  Immeditately, the staff came running over wanting to take them all home. One staff member said, "My wife can use those at home I will as many as I can." It was the supervisors day off and would be back the next day.  

The next day I was sitting in the same office when the supervisor walked in and the staff came to see what he would say about the wipes.  They all re-hearsed why the wipes were there and how many they all wanted including their family. The supervisor listened and said, "They are all going to be returned for credit because the company sent us the wrong kind and the ones we want are on back order."  

You see, "Faith should not stand in the wisdom of men."  Everyone planned their own way on what they wanted outside of the supervisor of that department.  It was the supervisor who had the final power to say what would happen to the wipes.  

The Greek word faith is the word pistis.  Pistis is the ability to pull out of the power and resource of God (Greek word theos-Trinity) because you are One with God in Covenant.  Even in the work place the Holy Spirit will use every day situations to teach His people "Not to stand in the wisdom of men but in the power and resource of being in Covenant with God." Faith outside of Covenant with God is faith in the wisdom of men.  

The Supervisor "Did get credit just as he said he would" the right supply of wipes came that same day at no extra charge to meet company standards.   When you understand Covenant, being One with God (The Trinity)  in reliance in His power but also His ability to release all resources what you are believing for,  you can set your faith loose for anything because nothing is impossible with God.

Confession:

I am willing to rely upon God for all my needs.   God has the power and all resources to get to me what I desire. Once I set my faith loose for what I am believing for because only God can make a way where there seems to be no way because God made Covenant with me and the Covenant with the resources I am believing for. In Jesus name. Amen.
