Ephesians 3:20 – Amplified Bible (AMP)
20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,
As Christians we are begotten of GOD (Christ Jesus is the first of the begotten) for GOD has begotten us through Christ Jesus our Saviour. The LORD communicates with us through our spirit, and he opens the eyes of our spirit to see as HE sees. Through our faith and obedience to the WORD of GOD and the leading of HIS SPIRIT, HIS power becomes active in our lives. We then start to experience the supernatural (something that we cannot achieve with our effort or ability). The scripture in Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.” The power of GOD in us works through the HOLYSPIRIT. This makes personal fellowship or communion with the HOLYSPIRIT very important in the life of a Christian.
The power of GOD in us through the HOLYSPIRIT enables us to be like Jesus Christ. That is the whole point of being a Christian. The power enables us to carry out the great commission as HE directed us to do, to do great exploits on the earth that will bring Glory to our Heavenly FATHER. This power makes us achieve that which ordinarily would be impossible. The power of GOD in us is what makes a Christian achieve their divine purpose. That is to be transformed and renewed to achieve GOD’s good, acceptable, and perfect will (Romans 12:1-2). Just as the scripture tells us in Joshua 1:8: our good success and prosperity is assured when we meditate on the WORD of GOD in our hearts and HIS WORD is on our lips.
Through prayer and meditation on the word of GOD, the SPIRIT of the LORD opens the eyes of our spirit to see those things which have been freely given to us. For the power of GOD to be at work in us as Christians we must have that relationship with the FATHER through knowledge and obedience of HIS WORD. It’s not enough to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour; we need to have HIM as LORD over our lives. The righteousness of GOD and HIS kingdom must be first place in our lives. Secondly, the sweet fellowship with HIS SPIRIT (the trustee of our blessing) must be continuous. We must continually dwell in the presence of GOD where we are constantly on the throne of Grace and where we receive supernatural favour and supernatural ability to achieve that which seems impossible. This doesn’t mean we will not have to face challenges and persecutions of different kinds. However, the POWER of GOD at work in us shall sustain us and cause us to triumph always.
What is your heart’s desire today? Be it financial independence, divine health, success, career progression, business growth, academic excellence, successful relationships and so on. Desire this Glorious POWER of GOD to be at work in you and you will begin to see the manifestation of your heart’s desire. For the LORD will do exceedingly, abundantly beyond your expectations or imaginations. Praise GOD!
