ACCESSING THIS POWER
I love the way Paul ends his prayer in Ephesians 3, verses 20-21:
“Now unto Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we can ask or think, according to the power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen.” (ESV)
We become aware of this power not by looking at ourselves but by looking at Jesus. We access this power by focusing on Him, not on our problems and struggles. But rather on His grace and greatness.
Ephesians 1:20-21 speak of this tremendous power. It is called:
Resurrection power - v.20a - that He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead. That same power is available today.
Ascension power - v.20b - and seated Him at His right hand
Ruling power - v.21a - far above all rule and authority
Sovereign power - v.21b - above all power and dominion
There is no greater power than this!
Do you know anything of this power in your life?
Power to live for Christ.
Power to love your family.
Power to work hard.
Power to be faithful!
No excuse for being a powerless Christian!
