Rhapsody of Realities 21 November 2024: Vessels of Divine Power
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Did you know that as a child of God, you have an indescribable treasure in you? God has deposited His divine power and glory within our “earthen vessels,” our human bodies. We’re vessels of divine power. Why did He do this? The Scripture tells us why: “…that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”
His extraordinary power and glory are tabernacled in our physical bodies so that when they’re manifested, everyone would see and recognize they’re not of human origin. They’re beyond anything human strength can produce. Glory to God! No wonder Paul said, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” ( 2 Corinthians 3:5).
Read our opening verse again, this time, from the Amplified Classic for a clearer understanding. It says, “However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel} in [frail, human} vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.” Every day is an opportunity for you to manifest God’s glory and power. The Bible says He’s called us to a life of glory and virtue, a life of excellence (2 Peter 1:3).

Your life is for the glory of God. Hallelujah! Every day, as you live by faith and walk in the knowledge of God, you demonstrate the divine power that is within you. As a result of this divine power, the Bible says you’ve been granted all things that pertain to life and godliness. You’ve become a participator in the divine experience, a partaker of the divine nature.
Nothing is impossible with you. You can do the unthinkable and the unimaginable: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20). Live boldly and confidently every day, knowing that God’s extraordinary power is at work in you and effuses through you for His glory. You’re a vessel of divine power.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the precious treasure of your divine power and glory within me. I am grateful that your extraordinary power is manifested in my life for your glory. I live in the consciousness of this truth, shining your light and manifesting your glory to the world as I walk in your power and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
