THE TRIPOD OF CHRIST'S WILL: THE SPIRIT, HIS POWER AND OUR WITNESSES.
Jesus' last statement at the cross was "it is finished". Jesus Christ's last statement after the cross was Acts 1:8.
THE LIFE AFTER THE CROSS IS WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE. THEREFORE, LET SEE HIS LAST STATEMENT AFTER THE CROSS.
THE LIFE AFTER THE CROSS IS WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE. THEREFORE, LET SEE HIS LAST STATEMENT AFTER THE CROSS.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive POWER, after that the HOLY GHOST is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
ONLY A FOOL DISREGARD THE LAST STATEMENT OF A DYING OR DEPARTING MAN. Your last message convenes your inner most desires and here Christ unveils it to us.
There are three key words in Acts 1:8 which are POWER, HOLY GHOST AND WITNESSES.
The first of His desire is for us to function by the HolySpirit.
The HolySpirit is the centre of God's will. If you are not living by the Spirit, you are not in the will of the Father.
Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

THE WILL OF GOD IS TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLYSPIRIT.
You receive and function by the HolySpirit through faith and obedience.

THE NEXT IS POWER.! After receiving the HolySpirit, the next of Christ's Will is Power. Functioning in Power is the will of God. The HolySpirit without Power will lead to a non-impactful lifestyle. The HolySpirit gives you CHARACTER, while the POWER gives you COMPETENCE.
There are some Christians who have fine character which is the 1st important key but they lack competence while some have power but lack character- this is worse. The 1st is Character (which is birthed by the HolySpirit) while the 2nd is Competence (which is birthed by the Power of God).
You receive and function with power through constant Prayer, studying of God's Word and worship.

THE LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT KEY OF CHRIST'S WILL IS TO BE WITNESSES.
The reason for the HolySpirit and Power is to be Witnesses of Christ, and not for ourselves. THE UTTERMOST DESIRE OF CHRIST IS FOR BELIEVERS TO BE CARRIER AND COURIER OF HIM TO THE WORLD. Making lives better is the reason for the anointing. If you have the HolySpirit, and you have power, but you are not witnessing Christ, you have failed God's investment in your life.
CHARACTER + COMPETENCE = INFLUENCE.
BECOME INFLUENTIAL FOR CHRIST THROUGH THE HOLYSPIRIT AND HIS POWER. Draw multitudes to Christ through the deposits of God in you. This is Christ's last desire for the Church. BE HIS WITNESS. REPRESENT HIM IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT. INFLUENCE DESTINIES FOR CHRIST.
Lastly, please note that you can be an effective witness to the degree that the HolySpirit and his Power is at work in you.
God bless you today!
