TOP SECRET: Motivation Isn't Enough

A man once wrote and said, "Whatsoever you can conceive you can achieve." Another man said, "A man who is positive, optimistic and undertakes his work with the assurance of success magnetizes his condition, he draws to himself the creative powers of the universe." You have probably heard that before. It is called motivational speaking. Motivation isn't enough. Those aren't lies, but they aren't the complete truth either. Your motivation is not enough for success. It is an ingredient for success, but it is not all that matters. There is something known as the GOD FACTOR. That is the key to success.

There is an ability called "dunamis". You probably have heard about it before. It means power. But it is not ordinary power. It is a special kind of power that works like a dynamo. Notice I didn't say it works like a dynamite. A dynamite blows things up. But a dynamite is a kind of dynamo power. Dynamo is a self-sustaining regenerative power. In science, a dynamo was a source for electrical current, and you know in this 21st century that electricity is everything. We can also call electricity power. So power is also everything. Electric power is required to run everyday life. Shut it down and we may end up in something terrible to describe.



You need more than just motivation to make it through anything in life. Motivation can get you some money but power sustains the money and gives you wealth. Motivation can make you seek for good health, but power can sustain your health. Motivation can make you endure a terminal disease, but power can heal you of it. What power are we referring to here? I am talking about the power we called "dunamis" meaning dynamo, the power that sustains itself.

Jesus said, 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."

Let's amplify that with another translation:

But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

This is the power that you need to make it in life. This is the power you need to succeed in business. You might say "Common bro, Bill Gates didn't use that kind of power to become the world's richest man," Perhaps you are right. I can even add to that for you, Steve Jobs of blessed memory probably didn't as well. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg probably didn't as well. Have you tried their method? You probably haven't and you probably lack their brains and ingenuity. So what are gonna do, sit on your ass? Get a hold of this power! Get Dunamis. This power will infuse you with ability. Elijah had this power one time the Bible records that he ran faster than a chariot in 1 Kings 18:46 (New Living Translation) Then the LORD gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab's chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

There are abilities that the Godhead have given to us all to use to enrich ourselves. There are those who tap into those abilities and make something great out of it, then there are those who short-changed themselves and are living a life of mediocrity, perhaps that is where you find yourself, this power can put you over in life. The biggest part of it is that when you are busy in your room or your closet applying this power nobody sees you, nobody even hears you, because it is not for noise, it is not for show even though some people use it for show. It is like getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth and having a shower and freshening your skin with skin creams and the rest of the things we do in the morning when preparing for the day. Very few people see you doing that, but it becomes evident when you hit the streets that you are set for the day. In the very same fashion nobody sees you doing the dunamis stuff, but when you begin to get results and make it over in life people will think you were just intelligent and smart, but you know better that it is the power of the Holy Ghost acting on your mind reactivating your ingenuity for success.

So, for those who ask Bill Gate didn't do that, Steve Jobs didn't do that, Mark Zuckerberg didn't do that, my question is, how can you be so sure? Do you live with them? Do you even so much as know anyone close to them beyond the distance news you read of them. We know one man who did. One man who used this power to the fullest. He subdued nature, subdued death, subdued nations, conquered life, his name is Jesus. And today when men are in distress they call upon him! When that freak accident was about to happen, men scream his name.

HOW TO GET DUNAMIS (DYNAMO POWER)
This dynamic ability to cause changes power comes only from one method, salvation. It is a power whose source is not earthly, but spiritual, a force field that controls the very aura of natural life. It puts the very laws of life and physics in its place. To get it, you have to go spiritual.

1. Get saved by giving your life to Jesus Christ, denouncing the life of sin and shame and taking on the righteousness of Jesus Christ by faith in his death, burial, resurrection and ascension to heaven. To do this you need to find his representatives on earth. Every nation and kingdom have what is known as the embassy. Find Christ's embassy on the earth. Who are they? Where are they? They are the churches you see in every nook and cranny of the earth. Go into one of them, ask to speak with the minister in charge, tell him your life and what you want. he will initiate the conversion process protocol and get you born again.
2. Then tell him you want to receive the power of the Holy Ghost, this power we have talked about. He will explain how it works to you and initiate the receival process and teach you about the constant infilling process. This is how you go beyond motivation, because motivation isn't just enough in life, you need more than that. You need power from above. Dunamis.
