Bible Reading :Ephesians 3:14-16 NIV. Key Verse: v14.
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
Giving your life to Jesus is one of the best things that can happen to anyone on earth. This singular decision settles the issue of sin which is the root of all problems of man on earth which Jesus Christ came to deal with. By his shed blood, the price for sin was fully paid forever on the cross where he died on our behalf. As we embrace the work of the cross as done by Jesus himself, we get restored to the place of fellowship with God our creator. “I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 KJV.
The restoration that happens to our Spirit man at the point of salvation helps us carry the inbuilt nature of God which is love. Not only that, his power and strength is made available to us through the Holy Spirit who takes charge of our lives. As members of his divine family, we bear his name in the spirit which Apostle Paul referred to in Galatians 6:17 as “marks of the Lord Jesus”. A mark is a form of identity or name. As members of God’s family comprising saints on earth and in glory, we have unfettered access to the father, we can always approach him freely as his children whenever we have need. As members of this divine family, we also enjoy certain unique rights and privileges to the extent that whatever that makes God whom he is, is made available to us to take advantage of, as to have an earthly life that is worthwhile and impacful. These things are deep, so Paul had to pray that we should have understanding of what we have received in Christ Jesus through revelation by the help of his Spirit who always searches the mind of God in order to reveal same to us, so that we can function in his purpose.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19. There’s something I want to point out here in conclusion. That is the fact that Christ dwells richly in us in two ways. The first one is by his word that we are able to absorb in our spirit man. The second way he dwells richly in us is by his indwelling Spirit. This means that the more we take in his word into our spirit man daily, the more we make room for him to take charge of our lives and operate in us. Also, the more we engage in exercises that builds up our spirit man, the more we develop capacity to be useful in his hands, as to live a life of impact.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for your grace that brought me this far in you. I pray today that you open the eyes of my spirit to understand what you have done for me in Christ Jesus. Help me to take advantage of grace as to live a life of impact on earth in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : 1 Kings 21:1-29.
