DIG DEEP - Dag Heward Mills



READ: Acts 17:21-27
“Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.” - Isaiah 45:15
There are times God has hidden His gift in people with obvious sin. Moses the murderer and David the adulterer are clear examples of this. There are times that God has hidden his anointing in social misfits and deviants, like Elijah. There are times that God has hidden his anointing in people without protocol, like John the Baptist. There are times that God has hidden his anointing in the backslidden, like the king Saul. The anointing keeps being passed on to outsiders and unexpected candidates because it is hidden from the view of proud people. Could it be that you are missing the anointing?                 
Great treasures are always hidden. Even your little treasures are hidden away in a bank. No one puts his life’s savings on a plate in front of the gate. God has equally hidden His best treasure, the anointing of the Holy Spirit deep within the anointed. You are going to have to manoeuvre through the nationality, the colour, the personality, the accent, the education, the culture and the background of a man in order to gain access to the anointing. Remember, the anointing is found in the anointed or upon the anointed!
Even in the natural, gold is obtained by those who are prepared to dig deep and go hundreds of feet below the earth to find the treasure. Oil, which is black gold, is also found deep within the earth and reserved for treasure hunters who are prepared to pay the price to live on the sea and do all sorts of strange things to get it. Such is the nature of great treasure.

THE OMINIPOTENT GOD - By Pastor E.A Adeboye

He is unlimited in power He is the omnipotent God. Psalm 62:11 says, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Next time somebody tells you that you cannot make progress, that you will not be promoted, that you will not have a child, that you will die sick, that you will die poor, turn to the person and say, “Power belongs to my God.” Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” The word omnipotent is a combination of two words; Omni and potent. Omni means, ‘All’ while potent means ‘Power.’ Omnipotent is the One who has all power. One of the basic differences between man and God is limitation. Man is limited, but our God is not limited. Man is limited by strength. In Isaiah 40: 30, the Bible says, even the young men shall faint. Strong as they are, they can faint, they can fall. Man is limited by death. James 4: 13-14 says, the life of a man is like a vapour. You can wake up and say, “Tom

“A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to  his  father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth  to me . And he divided unto them  his  living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luk 15:11-13 KJV) LORD, fire me up and set me on fire”… Let not grace diminish in my life. Let me not become obsolete, ever before the work is done completely.
