God is Almighty

In contrast to all other so-called gods our God is omnipotent— he has all power.

He is ‘El-shadday’ and ‘pantokrator’ – God Almighty!

‘The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know… the incomparably great power [of God] for us… which he exerted when he raised

Christ from the dead…’

Archimedes is said to have remarked of the lever: Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth.

God does not need any instruments! Simply an act of his will and the revelation of it in his voice is sufficient to create the universe.

Albert Einstein developed the famous formula — E=mc2

This means that there is a gigantic amount of energy in the universe!

All the energy in the universe is but a small display of God’s infinite power.‘Him who is able to do immeasurably

more than all we ask or imagine…’

Lessons from God’s power God’s great power is a reason for

genuine worship. Don’t be on the wrong side of God’s

power! Who can fight with God and win?

If God is our friend what does it matter who or what power is against us? Ultimately, who can stand against us if God himself is for us?

The greatest demonstration of God’s power The greatest

demonstration of God’s power is in the resurrection of Jesus.

The same power is at work in each Christian to give them life and power to fight against sin.
