My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Ephesians 3:20, “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.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, the above verse refers to the prayer of Paul, on behalf of the Christians of Ephesus. This prayer is focused on the natural appeal for spiritual strength from God in particular. Paul asks God to help the Ephfesians exhibit a faith which goes beyond knowledge. No matter how bold our requests may seem, God can do all we ask and much more. In fact God can do more than what men would ask for, as He did for King Solomon. He asked for wisdom and knowledge but “God blessed him with riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had who have been before him nor shall any after him.” This is how the Lord blessed Solomon. In a similar way the Bible says, that God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times that you may abound in every good work. God’s means, for accomplishing more than we can imagine comes through His strength. His work is done by the Holy Spirit’s power within us, rather than by our human strength.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, every one faces trials and tribulation in their life. Some are unable to handle their problems. At times they go to the extent of ending their lives. They fail to ask God for His guidance. They forget that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Therefore they fail to achieve their goal in life. They are unable to know the value of the power of God. They FG fail to seek God’s mercy. And so they suffer from even small problems that arises in their life. They are not able to withstand the difficulties or challenges that confronts them.
God wants us to totally depend or rely on Him. He wants us to communicate with Him and have relationship with Him so that we can call Him Abba Father, and ask him to help us in our helpless state. He is a loving Father. A God of compassion and mercy. We are His rightful inheritance therefore we have every right to ask help from Him. May we acknowledge Him as our helper, for He provides from His goodness for the poor. Those who seek God’s heart shall live. For the Lord hears the poor. And the Lord has not forsaken those who seek Him.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord You are a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Give us the knowledge to understand, Your goodness. Help us to realize the magnanimity of God. And behave wisely and carefully. May we learn to seek God, and find Him. No good thing will You withhold from those who walk uprightly. Fill us with Your Hoy Spirit to inherit the power to attain Your blessing. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
