As long as I have lived in this life the one dominant thing I
have seen is the lust for power. It is normal in the world of the
ungodly. It is expected.


However, I have seen believers lust for the same thing, except
the powers are different. They want God's power. It is a good,
even a wonderful thing to be filled with the power of God. But
there are limits I believe God has to set.


I was reading about the disciples who "reasoned among themselves
who would be the greatest." Jesus then "perceiving their heart
took a child and set him with Him," and not with them.


He pointed out that whosoever receives a child in His name
receives Him and the Father.


A nameless man was casting out demons in Jesus name and that
offended John and the other disciples because he was not one of
the "chosen" followers of Christ.


But Jesus forbade it and commanded to let him go on doing it
because he was doing it in the name of the Lord.


James and John wanted to call down fire from heaven and consume
the people of Samaria. Jesus rebuked them saying they had no idea
of what manner of spirit they were of. Definitely not God's
Spirit.


These scenarios are prime examples of how God's power can corrupt
people quickly thereby destroying others. The imagery of
humbleness is extraordinary in these sequences.


And who really were the ones who held all the power in Jesus
name. A child and a nameless man.


Seek to be humble and nameless in Jesus name.


"Here is a word for Christians. Knowing your strength lies wholly
in God and not in yourself, remain humble – even when God is
blessing and using you most.”


- William Gurnall
