THE PARABLE OF THE WIND TURBINE- APOSTLE AROME OSAYI

THE PARABLE OF THE WIND TURBINE

The wind turbine works on the simple but powerful principle of energy conversion. It converts wind energy into electric power.  

The word SPIRIT in both Hebrew (RUACH) and Greek (PNEUMA) translates to wind. Why? This is because, spirits, like the wind, though invisible and intangible, are repositories of enormous energy.

The believer’s regenerated spirit is like the wind turbine sturdily plugged into the inexhaustible power chambers of God which are domiciled in the person of the Holy Spirit. The best way to tap into these vast spirit power reserves is to pray and pray long —preferably in tongues! This is because, in order to convert wind energy to electric power, the turbine must engage the wind nonstop.

Stephen is introduced in Acts 6:5 as a man full of FAITH & the HOLY SPIRIT. 

Stephen is reintroduced in Acts 6:8 as a man full of FAITH & POWER.

What happened between  the Stephen of Acts 6:5 & the Stephen of Acts 6:8?

CONVERSION!

Conversion? Oh yes, conversion—energy conversion!

The Stephen of Acts 6:5 was selected to wait on tables. The Stephen of Acts 6:8 did great wonders & signs among the people!

The Stephen of Acts 6:8 had tenaciously converted ‘wind energy’ to ‘electric power’ and used the same power to effectively witness for Christ. 

He had consistently engaged the Holy Spirit with the turbine of his spirit to draw endless supply of the power of God of which the Holy Ghost is both custodian and dispenser. Stephen therefore had converted the latent power in the Holy Spirit into the potent power by which great wonders & signs were done among the people.

Every believer has the Holy Spirit but not every believer has power that propels great signs & wonders. 

The same wind which blows softly to cool the neighbourhood can be harnessed and used to power the same neighbourhood.

O fellow Christian pilgrim, I beseech you to get your turbine up and spinning by consistent and heartfelt prayers because this is what guarantees the release & availability of tremendous power. It is no time burn low and powerless. 

You, your family, & your community can use tremendous power today —the kind that yields great signs and wonders among the people! For such is the best way to witness for the kingdom.

With love from your brother,

Arome Osayi

THE RENT VEIL: A Sermon review

The Rent Veil, a sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon provides a deep theological exploration of the tearing of the veil in the temple at the moment of Christ’s death (Matthew 27:51). Spurgeon explains that this event holds profound meaning for Christianity, signifying the removal of the separation between God and humanity, ushering in a new era of accessibility to God through Christ. The sermon dives into the Old Testament practice of temple worship, where a thick veil separated the Holy of Holies—God’s earthly dwelling place—from the rest of the temple, allowing only the high priest to enter once a year. The tearing of the veil, according to Spurgeon, marks the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the end of the sacrificial system. Spurgeon points out that the death of Jesus is a marvel of time and eternity. Using the imagery of Aaron's rod turned serpent which swallowed the magicians', he described this miracle as one which outshines every other power mira...

PUTTING OUT A FLEECE: WHEN DOES IT GO TOO FAR?

Image Credit: In Touch Ministries  Ever been at a crossroads, at the juncture of making some life-defining decisions, and found yourself asking, “God, give me a sign!” Perhaps it was for a new job, a relationship, a move across the country, or a chance to start over. You think, “Should I make this move?” So, just like Gideon, you asked for a sign, and waited for confirmation. But when does asking God for a sign become less about faith and more about avoidance? And are we sometimes, in our quest for reassurance, pushing God’s patience? The story of Gideon is a classic example of a man seeking reassurance and confirmation from God about a big national assignment. Israel, in Gideon’s time, had distanced themselves from God. They were spiritually starved, oppressed by the Midianites, and had lost every thread of intimacy with God. When the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he was, understandably, hesitant to believe what he was hearing. So, he “put out a fleece,” asking for a mirac...

BROKEN CISTERNS

Image: Urgentmission.org " For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water " - Jeremiah 2:13 (KJV) Central to human desire is the quest for fulfillment and satisfaction. A void exists in every heart, yearning to be filled daily. Every human pursuit aims to achieve this ultimate feat, but this relentless quest for stability and respite also harbors dangers. In seeking breakthroughs by any means, some have derailed their destinies and futures, while others have incurred immense sorrow. The devil holds millions of ignorant souls captive, pledged to him in exchange for worldly goods. As the Bible asks, "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? What will he give in exchange for eternity?" (Mark 8:36-37) In our anchor text, Israel has once again forsaken the Lord, as is their custom. They quickly forget the One who...
