THE PARABLE OF THE WIND TURBINE
The wind turbine works on the simple but powerful principle of energy conversion. It converts wind energy into electric power.
The word SPIRIT in both Hebrew (RUACH) and Greek (PNEUMA) translates to wind. Why? This is because, spirits, like the wind, though invisible and intangible, are repositories of enormous energy.
The believer’s regenerated spirit is like the wind turbine sturdily plugged into the inexhaustible power chambers of God which are domiciled in the person of the Holy Spirit. The best way to tap into these vast spirit power reserves is to pray and pray long —preferably in tongues! This is because, in order to convert wind energy to electric power, the turbine must engage the wind nonstop.
Stephen is introduced in Acts 6:5 as a man full of FAITH & the HOLY SPIRIT.
Stephen is reintroduced in Acts 6:8 as a man full of FAITH & POWER.
What happened between the Stephen of Acts 6:5 & the Stephen of Acts 6:8?
CONVERSION!
Conversion? Oh yes, conversion—energy conversion!
The Stephen of Acts 6:5 was selected to wait on tables. The Stephen of Acts 6:8 did great wonders & signs among the people!
The Stephen of Acts 6:8 had tenaciously converted ‘wind energy’ to ‘electric power’ and used the same power to effectively witness for Christ.
He had consistently engaged the Holy Spirit with the turbine of his spirit to draw endless supply of the power of God of which the Holy Ghost is both custodian and dispenser. Stephen therefore had converted the latent power in the Holy Spirit into the potent power by which great wonders & signs were done among the people.
Every believer has the Holy Spirit but not every believer has power that propels great signs & wonders.
The same wind which blows softly to cool the neighbourhood can be harnessed and used to power the same neighbourhood.
O fellow Christian pilgrim, I beseech you to get your turbine up and spinning by consistent and heartfelt prayers because this is what guarantees the release & availability of tremendous power. It is no time burn low and powerless.
You, your family, & your community can use tremendous power today —the kind that yields great signs and wonders among the people! For such is the best way to witness for the kingdom.
With love from your brother,

The Lord didn’t check who inside the house was worthy. He checked for blood on the doorposts.
None of us is worthy. Only the blood of Jesus can cover us.
