CHRIST IN YOU IS ALL THE POWER YOU NEED
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20).
The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, reveals the limitless power available to us. In Colossians 1:27, he tells us, "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Christ in you is all the power you need. Glory to God!
I want you to observe something in the opening text again: "...according to the power that worketh in us." Then, 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." The power is in you. Christ is in you. Christ in you is all the power you need for any change or transformation you desire in any area of your life.
If you're a Pastor, for example, and you desire a transformation in your church, and to operate at higher levels of ministry, the power to make it happen is within you. The Bible says out of your heart shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).
Life issues from your heart (Proverbs 4:23); all the prosperity, blessings and abundance you could ever imagine, require or desire are in your heart. How do you activate that power to work for you? It's by consciously meditating on the Word and speaking in tongues.
You can bring that power to bear today on anything or any area of your life. It brings to mind the words of the Master in Matthew 17:20: "...nothing shall be impossible unto you." You can do anything, be anything, and get anything. Read the Apostle Paul's inspiring words in Philippians 4:13 AMPC, "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready fora nything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]." Amen.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for your power and ability that's at work within me, causing me to do exploits and walk in the supernatural. Thank you for your limitless resources domiciled in my spirit. Your power is fully activated and operational in me, transforming my life, work, family and ministry, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
