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

GIVING THANKS TO GOD

Melrosechurch.org Jesus' response to the pharisees who demanded that he should rebuke his disciples at his triumphant entry to Jerusalem is a very instructive one, He had responded that, "… if these should hold their peace, the stones will immediately cry out ", signalling that God gets his praise from the entirety of his creation and as such, if any created group deem themselves too important, there are more than enough alternatives to step into that void. Most of the times, the discourse about giving thanks to God is often steered along the course of why we should do it and what happens if we do it, albeit, we often overlook the undesirable outcome of not doing the same. Jesus' response paints a gory picture of disgraceful replacement and sidelining for those who do not see reason to thank God.    As revealed in revelations 4:11, our major preocuppation as creatures of God should be to worship him with all we are and have, and as matter of fact, one the ...

FAITHBERG

The Gigantic Voyager was a grand vessel, her sails billowing like the wings of a mighty albatross as she cruised through the cerulean waves of the North Atlantic. On board, twelve-year-old Rudolf stood by the ship's starboard, his heart filled with equal parts wonder and trepidation. Just before their journey, he'd been engrossed in the tale of the Titanic—a story that chilled him to his bones. His grandmother, Sheila, had noticed the concern in his eyes. "Rudolf, my dear," she had said with a gentle but firm tone, "the sea is as fickle as it is beautiful. Dwelling on the past, especially such tragedies, may invite misfortune." Rudolf had nodded, but the shadow of the Titanic lingered in his thoughts like a storm cloud on the horizon. Days into their voyage, the sea that had been calm and inviting began to show adverse signs. The wind picked up, howling through the rigging, and the once-placid waves grew into towering swells that tossed the ship ...

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...
