KNOW THE DIVINE DEPOSIT OF GREAT EXCEEDING POWER RIGHT INSIDE OF YOU.
Ephesians 1:19 “And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Amp “. Oh, the English language and all human languages have not developed the vocabulary to be able to describe the extent of this great power that is resident in you and I. That is why English words try combining the words such as in the text above, “immeasurable, unlimited, surpassing, greatness” trying to make us understand the magnitude, the superlative or highest degree of power resident in us. The power on otherwise is beyond the description by any human language under the heavens. Human languages lack the vocabulary to describe the weight of this power which is in us who believe. There is no word that can be able to exhaust the full description.
You just need the Revelation Knowledge on the magnitude (immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness) of the power of God that has been deposited inside of you and how to put that power into use.
Just pause alittle, and make this prayer, “Father, just give me deeper and greater Revelation Knowledge for the deposit of power that is in me and how to operate in it.
Give me Deeper Revelation Knowledge on the miraculous; creative miracles.
Deeper Revelation Knowledge on provision
Deeper Revelation Knowledge on healings
Deeper Revelation Knowledge in the operation in the supernatural.
Deeper Revelation Knowledge of Your power in me. Reveal and Teach me how to harness (put to use) and operate on this deposit. Teach me how to put this deposit to use in the name of Jesus Christ.
God has tremendous power flowing all the time and unless He works and energizes in our lives, we cannot bring it out. That means in order for that power to work on behalf of humanity it must be stirred, activated, energised and vitalised. But how do we stir, activate, energize and vitalise this power?
This is done by daily spending time in the presence of God, During moments of worship, Prayer, reading and meditating upon the Word of God, and setting moments of fasting.

What is the use of this immeasurable, unlimited, surpassing greatness of the power of God which is in you? Is that indescribable power resident in you and I to enable you to just do some small things?
Oh, this power in you and I has; The divine deposit to heal all manner of disease and sickness among people!
The Divine deposit to work creative miracles of all kinds!
The Divine deposit to work all kinds of miracles, signs and wonders!
The divine deposit to bless!
The divine deposit to change any situation is right inside of you. The deposit in you and I can make everything work.
God has already made an investment of supernatural power in you and I although you are still lacking awareness; you are unaware, unconscious of that reality.
The divine consciousness of the power that God has already embedded in your spirit is all that is needed for you to launch into the greater depths of the miraculous and usher a torrential stream flow of signs and wonders.

Peter understood this very well and was much conscious about the deposit of power in him; that was why he told the lame man in Acts 3, “What I have I give to you”. On otherwise, from the deposit of power that is inside of me. What was that he had, “the divine deposit of the miraculous power to heal this lame man, and to do any form of miracle. He knew what he had. He knew he was in possession of spiritual power.
You must know therefore the different aspects of power of God in a believer. There are 7 dimensions or realms of the power of God available for believers in Christ Jesus which must be put to use by each believer. These are; “Exousia, dunamis, Kratos, Ischus, Enegeia, Harpazo, and Episkiazo.” These are the seven dimensions of God’s power that the believer in Christ have over sickness, death and disease.
Without the power of God you can succeed in a lifeless large auditorium using your skills and what your fans want to hear just like the stadiums that collect many fans, but you can not see miracles, and lives changed and transformed. We have seen this in some large auditoriums pastored by motivational speakers. The churches are packed and the preacher speaking day out day in without you registering any single miracle. You can’t find any trace of miracles.
Most people are only knowing of the Exousia and dunamis but have no knowledge of the remaining 5 aspects of power. We need to understand the 7 different aspects of the power of God and how we can tap into each aspect. There are 7 Greek words that describe the aspects of the power of God. The 7 Greek words that describe these 7 aspects are; Exousia, Dunamis, Kratos, Ischus, Energeia, Harpazo, Episkiazō.

  1. Exousia ἐξουσία power is the authority of a believer in
    Christ. It connotes to the power that comes through your position of authority in Christ. It refers to authority, jurisdiction, power of government or judicial decision. It is the legitimate power that comes by virtue of our position of son ship in Christ Jesus.
    As many as received Him, He gave power (Exousia) to become the sons of God. John 1:12.
    Exousia is the power that belongs to you in Christ. It is what you release in His name.
    The word “exousia” is translated as authority, which is a form of delegated power and it is based on your position in God. For example, a policeman has power, but that power is in the form of authority. He can stop a truck because of the uniform and the badge he wears. That is his authority. As a human being, he will not be physically able to stop the truck, but his authority allows him to stop the truck legally. He has power but that power comes in the form of authority. So, that is the illustration of what “exousia” is like.
    Else where Jesus said to his disciples in Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give unto you power (Exousia) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The scorpion and serpents represents deadly high ranking demonic forces but Jesus has given us “exousia” over them. Remember Jesus spoke this in response to the report of the disciples when they had gone for Ministry and demons submitted to them in the name of Jesus. This is the account of this, “The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name! Luke 10:17
    When demons questioned Sons of Sceva in (Acts 19:14) saying, “Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are you?” they were actually questioning their “exousia”, because it is “exousia” that gives us the right to cast out devils. These men did not have “exousia” to exercise over the demons, that’s why they were thrashed.
    The condition to receive Exousia power is to receive Jesus Christ in your life. Our scripture above says, as many as received Him, he gave the Exousia… So if you have not received Christ, you have no legal access to this power. If you tried exercising the Exousia against demons without having a relationship with Jesus, demons will teach you a lesson that you will never like or forget in life just as they taught the 7 sons of Sceva.
    If therefore you have not received Jesus Christ, why not do it right now. Just receive Jesus right now by saying this prayer wherever you are.

Dear Heavenly Father! I present my life before you today.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in my heart that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead after 3 days, for the remission of my sins. I acknowledge that I’m a sinner and ask you to forgive me for all the sins I have ever committed. Wash me with the precious blood of Jesus Christ and write my name in the Book of life.
I therefore receive eternal life into my spirit right now. I declare that from henceforth, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour and I proclaim His Lordship over every area of my life.
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for saving my soul. I’m now a child of God, born again, born of the Spirit of the living God.
Amen!

  1. Dunamis δύναμις refers to the power of the Holy Ghost.
    It connotes to God’s power that comes through the Holy Spirit. It is the miraculous power. It is the power for performing miracles, signs and wonders from God.
    You shall receive power (dunamis) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. Acts 1:8.
    In other words, you shall receive dunamis when the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Dunamis refers to an inherent power, or the dynamic ability to cause changes. It alludes to a miracle working ability; the ability to make supernatural things happen; the power and ability that’re beyond yourself!
    It denotes what we call a “doing-power,” or “working power” It also means the power of excellence and the extraordinary ability to be efficient and effective in all that you do. This is the life we have in Christ—a life of superproductivity and ever-increasing glory! This power is what you received when the Holy Spirit came to live in you. Therefore, every time the word “dunamis” is used in the New Testament, it refers to the power of the Holy Spirit. Put differently, “dunamis” talks about the ability that God imparts upon a vessel that comes through the Holy Spirit. It is that power or ability that comes from the Holy Ghost which when it rests upon a human vessel, it makes him a “superman”. That is why when the Holy Ghost came upon the disciples in the Upper Room in Acts 2:1, they burst forth into the marketplace, filled with the power and glory of God and impacted the nations.
    Moreover, when the power of God came upon Samson, he grabbed a lion like a slice of bread and tore it apart. That was “dunamis” power at work in his life. This is akin to how David overcame the lion and the bear with his bare hands. How possible is it that a man can tear a wild animal with his bare hands as if he is tearing a piece of cloth? This is only possible when operating under “dunamis” power. Dunamis power is the most explosive, electrifying and destructive power in the universe.
    It is evident on the basis of the scripture that “dunamis” power is related to the Holy Spirit. In other words, there is an intricate connection or relationship between “dunamis” the power of the Holy Spirit and “exousia” the power of the word, hence we need to analyse what happens when they come together.
    Right now, in your life, church or ministry, if you start having the demonstration of the Spirit, there will be people who are curious and those who are hungry for the supernatural coming to your meetings. This is because the supernatural draws the multitudes. But as you draw them, don’t stop there. You need to feed them the Word otherwise they will all be very shallow Christians. That’s where you bring the Word in and teach them until they are established. This is to tell you that “ dunamis ” is not enough; get some “kratos” or Word in you. Be a Word Christian; a word practitioner; the one who exhibits a voracious appetite for the word, then you will have both quality and quantity Christians.
  2. Kratos κράτος is refers to the power that is inherent in the written Word of God.
    Kratos is the power that is locked up in the Word. It comes through the Word of God. It is the dominion power. The word, “Kratos” is translated power, strength, might or dominion in the Word.

The question is: How do you draw and release the power that is inherent in the word?
When you do your devotion and meditation, the power that is released is Kratos. When you mediate on the word of God, it enters your spirit where it mingles with faith and the Holy Spirit, producing an explosive spark in your inner most being. When you speak that word out through your mouth, it enters the realm of the spirit, causing an explosion. This is what will cause the sick to be healed, devils to flee and the dead to arise. This is to show you how powerful and impactful kratos is in the realm of the spirit.

The Kratos power comes through reading, studying, meditating, and confessing the word of God. The amount of power which any believer can have is directly proportional to the amount of “Word” in your spirit. How much of the word of God is resident in your spirit is what determines the degree of power that will flow out of your life.
Unfortunately many seek after power “dunamis” but they don’t have much “Kratos” established in their spirit, hence they don’t make any significant impact in the realm of the spirit. Sadly, many believers speak the Word but their situations and circumstances do not change because the Word is not seasoned in their spirit. The Word only works when it is assimilated into the depths of your spirit.
Kratos is not just God’s word in the pages of the Bible. Instead, it is God’s Word picked from the pages of the Bible infused and mingled with faith in the depths of your spirit such that when you release it, there is a river of power that flows from your spirit.
It was akin to the experience of Peter at the House of Cornelius, whom as he began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon all them who heard the word. Where was this power coming from? It was oozing out from God’s word encapsulated in the depths of his spirit. How do I know that? Because the scripture says the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. That means the word is what was releasing the kratos power over the masses.
Acts 19:20 So mightily (Kratos) grew the word of God and prevailed.

As long as you are ignorant of the Word of God, you can not be able to tap into the realm of the Kratos power. You must know well your Bible.
There was a man that God himself gave this key, his name is called Joshua. The LORD spoke this to Joshua, read it clearly: “Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying… This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:1,8
This man meditated faithfully upon the word of God. And on the day he released the kratos power from within him, he was able to control nature.
“Then Joshua spoke and said in the sight of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. [Is] this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go [down] for about a whole day.” Joshua 10:12-13.
This is to show you how powerful the kratos power can be when you engraft, infuse and mingle the Word of God into your spirit through reading, Studying, and meditation upon the Word of God.

Say this prayer: ” Father, open the eyes of my understanding through Revelation Knowledge as I read and study your Word. May You always release the kratos power whenever I read, study and meditate upon your Word. Open my understanding that I may understand the Scriptures (Your Word).
May You always transform and change my life by the power of Your Word every moment I study and meditate on your Word in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen”

“May you manifest the Glory of God everywhere by releasing the kratos power in doing mighty works for God.
May You unlock the power locked in the Word of God and release it into your life.
May you receive the dominion power into your life from the Word of God over situations, circumstances and every force of darkness in Jesus name.

  1. Ischus ἰσχύς is a special authority unique in its sense.
    It is the power that is inherent within a believer. It is the power that comes from within you as a believer. It is the prevailing power. It is the power of God in you, in your spirit which every believer can draw from to change his world.
    Luke 10:27 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength (ischus).
    Ephesians 1:19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty (ischus) power
    This speaks of the abiding power or strength to overcome which is resident within a believer. In a related scripture, when John says greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world, he speaks of this power (Ischus) that is inherent within a believer.
    This greatness is the power that is resident within a believer which needs to be taped, activated and triggered to flow. That is why the Bible says out of your belly shall flow rivers of living waters.
    It is evident that all the different powers are related. Just as Kratos is CHRIST in us through the Word, dunamis is the power of the Holy Spirit. So, Ischus is the tangible dunamis that becomes a part of us. It is the ability of God that has become so much in your life. He has become a permanent and integral part of your being. As we move into Ischus more and more, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are imparted to you and you operate in them so much that Ischus and the gifts of the Holy Spirit have become a part of you. At that level, it is very hard to divide Ischus and you anymore.
    It has been absorbed as part of you, infiltrated every fibre of your being such that it is now your second nature Ischus is the in-working of the Spirit in our lives. His graces, His ability that He places in our lives has become a part of us so much so that you cannot differentiate that which is of you and that which is of God.

When “kratos” and “ischus” come together, it produces energy working in you; changing or transforming you. See, we have to change first before we can change the world. And we need the working of “kratos” and “ischus” in us to change and transform us. And the combination of “kratos” and “ischus” is divine energy.

  1. Energies ἐνέργεια. This is power that is released AS DIVINE ENERGY from the realm of the spirit through the air.
    It is usually manifested as the anointing. It is the energising power.
    Ephesians 1:19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working (Energeia) of his mighty power,

Energia is the power of God that comes directly from the realm of the spirit in the
form of divine energy. It means energy, working and efficiency. In other
words, this power works almost like electricity in the natural realm. The
word energia connotes to the energizing that takes place when those 4 Greek
words are combined in different manners. When ischus and kratos combine
together, we have an energizing that goes deep into us. When exousia and dunamis combine, we have a different type of energy that flows. It is the
energy that flows out through our life to minister to other people.
This ENERGIO is the best explanation for the anointing because
the anointing is the ENERGY OF GOD. This power originates from the
Throne room of God in the Heavens’ Power House and is released to earth every
minute as divine energy. There is tremendous power that God is releasing
from the Heaven’s Power House and such power comes as divine energy.
This was the energizing power that came upon Samson to do great things.
This was the energizing power that energized the stone of David to kill this big giant called Goliath.
This power is always released to energize one to perform special assignments and divine appointments. As long as you are carrying out a divine assignment, this enablement is released to empower you to carry out the task in the form of anointing.

May you receive divine empowerment right now so you can be able to carry out what God has assigned you to do.
May you be energised with power from the throne room of heaven. May you be electrified with power from on high do exploits for God.
May you be mightily energized with great power to carry out that assignment that God has set before you.
I speak the energizing power to fall upon you right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

  1. Harpazo ἁρπάζω This is the power of God in violent action. It is aggressive power.
    It is the power for deliverance. This harpazo power comes with territorial dominion and spiritual warfare.
    Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take (harpazō) it by force.
    There is power released from the Heavens to equip and empower the church for engagement in spiritual warfare activities. It is the power that is released during the battle, hence those who are never involved in spiritual warfare activities never get to partake of this power. That is why ministers who have taken over territories and are operating at a global level seen to be moving in higher realms of harpazo power because they have received harpazo to enable them to take over territories of the world. It is the power to dismantle violently anything that is not of God as we minister His Word of grace. This is highly explosive, inflammable and electrifying power.
    Anybody who moves in this dimension of power becomes dangerous in the spirit world.
  2. Episkiazō Ἐπισκιάζω: is the power that comes through the glory of God.
    This overshadowing comes to shed influence upon you.
    It is the highest concentration of God’s power. It talks about the possible fullness of God’s power displayed or exhibited in a particular locality. It is the power of God’s glory which He administers directly from Heaven. Episkiazō is the power that is manifested when the glory of God invades a territory. The greatest depths of miracles, signs and wonders can be reached in this realm.
    Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow (Episkiazō) thee.
    Episkiazō is the most important and highest element in the realm of God’s power. It is a higher realm in God’s power whereby you just become unstoppable and the devil cannot temper with you anymore. During transfiguration in Luke 9:28-34, it says a cloud overshadowed (Episkiazō) them and they feared as they entered a cloud. This represented the full manifestation of God’s power. In Acts 5:12-15, it speaks of the shadow of Peter falling on the sick. That is another manifestation of Episkiazō whereby the power of God was highly concentrated and reflected through a shadow. In Luke 1:28-35, as the angel addressed Mary, he mentioned that the power of the Highest shall overshadow her and she shall be with a son. Episkiazō is a type of power called the power of the Highest which depicts the apex or highest level of concentration of God’s power.

How do you provoke the Episkiazō power to manifest? You must create a Spiritual Atmosphere for the Glory of God to descend.
It is an atmosphere of worship that provokes Episkiazō to Manifest. The ingredients in the atmosphere of glory are continuous prayer, offerings, intercession, praise, worship, obedience, and honor. These ingredients create a spiritual atmosphere of Glory.

Therefore when you come to know the deposit of power in you, when you show up at the hospital to raise multitudes from their sick beds, it’s not whether God wants to heal them or not as some have inadvertently presumed. The question will be whether you have power or not. When you walk into a mortuary and command the dead to rise, it will not be about whether the dead have faith to be raised or not but the question is whether or not you have the power to give birth to a resurrection.

It was that awareness that caused Paul to write to the Roman believers that “I desire to come so that I can impart or give you spiritual gifts,” Romans 1:11. Someone who does not understand this deposit will reason saying, “No one can be able to impart or give spiritual gifts.” The term Paul used here is μεταδίδωμι metadidōmi; to impart, to give. Paul was certain that the deposit (the Holy Spirit) was living in him and was using him to give spiritual gifts. Since you are an ambassador of Heaven, you are the eyes of God, the ears of God, the hands of God and the mouth of God on earth.

You are pregnant with the possibilities of God; adequately equipped, empowered and enriched in every way with every Heavenly blessing which might be needed by the habitants of the earth, hence you are Heavenly qualified to be a solution to every predicament the world is facing.
You therefore need to learn how to draw from the best within you from the the inherent, creative and explosive power resident inside of you.

When you get much aware of this deposit in you, then you will not pray power down, but you will pray power out.
You must understand this, and come in terms with this deposit, if you are to operate and move mightily in the realms of the supernatural.
If you urgently and desperately need anything from God, just activate, energise and stir yourself up and make a withdrawal of power from within the depths of your spirit.
Don’t be crying out and always looking somewhere for power; instead, look inwards because power is resident in you; in the extreme quarters of your spirit. That is where He has made a deposit of an investment of His power, in what Paul penned as, “treasures in earthen vessels”. Don’t be like Moses who cried to heaven, when the solution was right at his hands. The power was right at his stand not in heaven but he was crying for the help to come from heaven. The power you need is right inside of you not in heaven. For the case of Moses, when he kept crying God asked him, what do you have in your hand. And God is asking you what is in you? You have in you “the deposit of divine power.” God was telling Moses, “Stop crying to me! Why are you making all this noise? What is it that is in your hand? Stretch it forth towards the Red sea and your way will open up.”
