For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven
and earth is named, that he would grant you, according
to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might
by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:14-16).
The Apostle Paul had such a beautiful and powerful
understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Consider His prayer in our theme scripture; notice that he
wasn’t praying for himself, but for the church at Ephesus, that
they be strengthened with might in their inner man by the
Holy Spirit. He prayed thus for them because he knew that’s
the level in which the Christian ought to function. He was
already functioning at that level; recall in Philippians 4:13, he
said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me.”
Have you come to know Him as your strength? Have
you recognised Him as the strength of your life? David said
in Psalm 27:1, “…the Lord is the strength of my life….” As
your strength, you have nothing to fear; no impossibilities; no
limitations; you triumph always, in every situation.
Affirm always that the Lord is your strength; that’s the
language of the spiritually mature. Don’t ask God for strength;
affirm He’s your strength. Declare, “I’ve been invigorated with
might for every task. I can do all things through Christ who is
my strength.”Yes, before you received the Gospel, you may have
been weak and timid, giving up easily and unable to face
challenges. But thanks be unto God! The Bible says,
“Forwhen we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). Now, you’re turned on from
within, by His divine power! You’re bold and courageous;
audacious in faith.
The Bible says God has given us the spirit of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7); that has
become your song. You can do anything without fear. Even
now, affirm that you’ll do bigger things for the Lord, according
to His power, which works in you mightily.
CONFESSION
The Lord is the strength of my
life, and by His strength, I can
do all things. I’m sufficient in His
sufficiency, and therefore up to
any task. I dominate
circumstances. I reign and rule in
life, according to His might that
works in me mightily.
