There are many things in the Bible that are easier read than believed. One of them is the passage set before us. Jesus said that those who believe will do what He did, and even greater. Well, if you have taken count of what Jesus did, you will agree that this is a tall order. But we should not be overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of this promise; what we should be concerned with is how to step into the reality of it. First, we must begin by appreciating that there is no frivolity in the promises of God. He would not promise what He knows is impossible. This should inspire our faith and our quest.

Jesus actually tied our greater works to the fact of His going to the Father…the hope of our doing exploits is anchored on being able to step into the realm of Spirit activity. He would not promise what He knows is impossible.

From here we need to proceed to understand how Jesus accomplished the works that He did. During this year’s Christian Leaders Advance Strategic Service Intensive Course (CLASSIC) one of the Guest Facilitators, Dr. Delron Shirley said Jesus had to step into the realm of human activity in order to do the things He did. As I reflect on this it dawned on me that the reverse of this has to take place if we must do what He did. In other words, the hope of our doing exploits is anchored on being able to step into the realm of Spirit activity. When this happens we will see the same kind of mighty works following us wherever we go. This tallies perfectly with the Bible. Jesus actually tied our greater works to the fact of His going to the Father. The implication of going to the Father was that the Spirit would come upon those who believe. There are so many things happening in the realm of the Spirit that we are currently ignorant of. We need our eyes to be opened so we can be on levelled terms with what the Lord is doing at the moment.
