Text: Isaiah 40:31
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Yesterday we established that the power is available because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Epistle to the Hebrews 13:8). Today, we move a step further: available power must be activated.
Power that is available but not engaged produces no result. Electricity may be supplied to a house, but until the switch is turned on, darkness remains. In the same way, God’s power flows through the channel of waiting, trust, and dependence.
The prophet says in Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” Waiting is not weakness; it is spiritual positioning. It is in the place of prayer, surrender, and quiet confidence that divine strength is exchanged.
Hezekiah activated divine intervention by spreading Sennacherib’s letter before the Lord (Second Book of Kings 19:14). David activated victory by inquiring of the Lord before battle (First Book of Samuel 23:2). They did not merely believe God was powerful — they engaged Him.
As we journey through life, we must not rely on past encounters. Fresh strength comes from fresh communion. Spiritual stamina is essential. If we neglect the secret place, we risk running on empty. But when we wait upon Him, we mount up, we run without weariness, and we walk without fainting.
The power is available — but it is activated by those who intentionally draw near.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help me to activate your power through trust, prayer, and complete dependence on you, in Jesus’ name.
