2012 December 26 - Morning Manna


But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. (Micah 3:8)


Today's Morsel: A lion woke up one morning with an overbearing desire to remind his fellow creatures that he was king of the jungle. So he marched over to a monkey and roared: "Who is the mightiest animal in the jungle?" "You are, Master," said the monkey, quivering.

Then the lion came across a wildebeest. "Who is the mightiest animal in the jungle?" roared the lion. "You are, Master," answered the wildebeest, shaking with fear.

Next the lion met an elephant. "Who is the mightiest animal in the jungle?" roared the lion. The elephant grabbed the lion with his trunk, slammed him repeatedly against a tree, dropped him like a stone and ambled off. "All right," shouted the lion. "There's no need to turn nasty just because you don't know the answer." (Humor)


When we look at God's creation, it's amazing to me that an elephant is afraid of a mouse. Or that some of the larger and robust animals are afraid of smaller ones. Some people think that the devil is powerful. But Isaiah tells us, "They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms" (Isaiah 14:16). Satan is nothing but a declawed, toothless lion on a chain. Jesus took away his power at Calvary. David said, "God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God" (Psalms 62:11). Jesus said that all power in heaven and earth belong to Him (Matthew 28:18). So when Christ's Spirit comes into your life, you too should say as Micah, " But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin." "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8). The Holy Ghost makes you strong, even when you think that you are weak. You just need to stir it up.


Sing: There is power! Power! Wonder working power in the Blood of the Lamb. There is Power! Power! Wonder working power in the precious Blood of the Lamb!
