God Loves and Empowers You
Backgrounder on Ephesians 1-3:
The Ephesians had unlimited
spiritual wealth at their disposal,
yet they lived as spiritual paupers.
So Paul wrote to encourage
them to understand and claim
their heavenly resources. Only
then could they draw on them for
their earthly walk. And In Christ,
Christians are endowed with every
spiritual blessing as well as adoptn,
redemption, inheritance and power.
Lord, we seek Your Love & Power:
I pray that from His glorious,
unlimited resources, He will
empower you with inner strength
through His Spirit (Eph 3:16).
May your roots go down deep into
the soil of God’s marvellous Love.
And may you have the power
to understand, as all God’s people
should, how wide, how long, how
high & how deep His Love really is.
May you experience the love of
Christ, though it is so great you
will never fully understand it.
(Eph 3:17-19). Now to Him who
is Able to do immeasurably
more than all we ask or imagine,
according to His Power that is
at work within us (v20). Amen.
Lord, I am running out of strength
and have got not much left.
Even when I am strong, I will
still need to depend on You.
That’s even more true when
I am weak. Please show Yourself
strong in me. And fill me with
the riches and resources of God.
Holy Spirit, you are trustworthy;
and You reside in me. Give me
strength and faith to believe. Amen
Lord, I want to understand and
experience your love in a deeper
way than I ever have before.
May your love be my anchor
as your Spirit causes my roots
to sink deeper in You. Grant me
the power to really understand
the limitless extent of Your love.
Be the center of my life & reveal
Yourself to me each day. Amen.
Lord, I praise You for You are
magnificent, glorious & awesome.
You indeed posess all wisdom
and power. Forgive me for having
such a small view of You and
Your will. Yes You are Able to do
amazing things in and thro me.
But this truth is yet beyond
my experience this day. Please
bring my experience up to the
level of Your truth. And teach
me to operate in the Power
that works within me. Amen.
