Title: “DUNAMIS: Power for Miracles, Wealth, and Influence”
Scripture: “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)
Introduction: Understanding the Dunamis Within
Beloved Shimba family, the Apostle Paul’s letter to Timothy carries a divine revelation that every believer must awaken to — God has not given us fear! Fear is not from God; it is a counterfeit spirit from the enemy, designed to paralyze your faith and mute your spiritual authority.
Instead, God has deposited within us power — in the Greek, DUNAMIS! This is not ordinary power; it is miracle-working power, the very energy that raised Jesus Christ from the dead (Ephesians 1:19–20). Dunamis is divine capacity — a supernatural force residing in you to produce extraordinary results.
1. Dunamis Is Power for Miracles
The word dunamis appears over 120 times in the New Testament, and it always points to explosive, dynamic ability. Jesus said in Acts 1:8:
“But ye shall receive power (dunamis) after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…”
When the Holy Spirit came upon you at salvation, miracle-working potential was born in you. This means you don’t need to pray for power — you carry it! The same dunamis that opened blind eyes, healed the sick, and raised Lazarus from the dead dwells in you right now.
💥 You are not waiting for a miracle — you are the miracle waiting to happen!
Every time fear and timidity leave your heart, the dunamis within is free to flow. Your words, your touch, and your faith become divine channels through which God manifests His greatness.
2. Dunamis Is Power for Moral Excellence
Paul wasn’t just talking about outward miracles. Dunamis also refers to moral power and excellence of soul.
This means the Holy Spirit gives you the strength to live above sin, temptation, and compromise. The power of God doesn’t just heal your body — it also transforms your character.
Through dunamis, you have power to love those who wrong you, power to forgive, and power to walk in holiness. Philippians 2:13 reminds us:
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”
That inner working is dunamis! It’s the divine engine room that produces righteousness, patience, and faithfulness.
3. Dunamis Is Power for Wealth and Influence
The same word dunamis also means the power and influence that belong to wealth.
Deuteronomy 8:18 declares:
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth…”
That “power” is dunamis! God empowers His children not just to survive but to influence nations, fund the Gospel, and reign in life through divine ideas and favor.
When you walk in dunamis, you become a magnet for opportunities. Divine creativity flows through you. You become a solution-provider, an influencer, a kingdom financier.
You are not designed to beg — you are anointed to build, lead, and bless!
4. Dunamis Is Power in Numbers and Unity
Another dimension of dunamis refers to power arising from numbers.
When believers unite in prayer, faith, or vision, spiritual energy multiplies. That’s why Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20).
Shimba family, never underestimate the power of agreement. When your family prays together, works together, and stands together in love, you release corporate dunamis! The Holy Spirit moves in multiplied strength when unity reigns.
5. Dunamis Is Power Resting Upon Armies
Finally, dunamis also means power resting upon armies.
We are God’s end-time army, equipped not with carnal weapons but with the might of the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 10:4)
The enemy fears a believer who knows his power in Christ. Satan’s worst nightmare is a family awakened to their dunamis identity.
When you pray, decree, and walk in faith, you release the armies of heaven to move on your behalf. You become unstoppable, immovable, and unshakable.
Conclusion: Activate the Dunamis Within
The dunamis of God is already in you. It is not coming; it is present. But fear, doubt, and timidity can suppress it.
As you meditate on God’s Word and walk in boldness, that power comes alive.
🔥 Say this with faith:
“I refuse fear! I am filled with the Spirit of power, love, and sound judgment. The miracle-working power of God is alive in me. I am anointed for signs, wealth, influence, and dominion. I walk in dunamis every day!”
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the dunamis power You have placed within us. Help us to walk boldly, heal the sick, influence our world, and glorify Your name through the power of the Holy Spirit. We reject fear, and we activate divine strength, creativity, and wisdom. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Declaration for the Day
🕊️ “Today, I operate in the dunamis of God — miracle power, moral strength, wealth-producing ability, and kingdom influence. I am unstoppable because Christ lives in me!”
