The power of God is so great and no one can quantify the size. When God created us in His own image, He gave us the power of choice.
The first assignment of Adam was naming the animals created by God through the use of his power of choice, as stated in Genesis chapter 1 verse 19 and 20, “Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field…” (NKJV)
Have you ever asked yourself why the omnipresent God did not stop Eve from eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden? The simple answer is that God respected the power of choice made by Eve. Genesis chapter 3 verses 6 says, “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate…”
God gave us the power of choice so that we can have the liberty to take helpful decisions in life. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve abused the power of choice through disobedience to God’s instruction, but thanks to Jesus who devoted His power of choice to save us from eternal condemnation.
He says in the book of John chapter 10 verses 18, “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”
I discovered that God respects my choice so much, and He cannot compel me to obey His instructions in the Bible. The glorious life I enjoy today starts from the moment I turned away from worldliness, and I devoted my power of choice to obey the word of God in the Bible every day.
The power of God cannot stop you from taking any decision in life, but the reason for the instructions in the Bible is to prevent you from abusing the power of choice.
God made it clear that we must live a sinless life for us to gain heaven. Paul says, “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). So the atheists have to think twice…
God gave us the power to make good choice, but people chose various categories of religion such as; Christianity, Judaism, Muslim, Satanism, Buddhism, Atheism, and so on.
The only way to heaven is through Lord Jesus. He says in the book of John chapter 14 verses 6, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
It is impossible for the power of God to take a sinner who chose to live a sinful life to heaven.
Your power of choice is significant for your success in life.
Three Benefits of God’s Power
• The Power of God had brought salvation and grace to the world, but it is the power of your choice that will determine the acceptance of the Good News into your life.
• The Power of God had created the beautiful and peaceful mansions in heaven for all the interested human beings who devote their power and strength to obey God’s commandment. Jesus says: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
• The Power of God is available to defeat Satan and to solve any problem in this world, but you cannot enjoy this Power of God’s salvation if your power of choice is devoted to worldliness.
God will never abuse His mighty Power, so you must take the wise step which involves devoting your power of choice to obey God’s word in the Bible daily. If your power of choice is aligned with God’s Power, then you will be victorious on earth and enjoy eternity in heaven.
