STRENGTH THROUGH THE HOLY
SPIRIT
Ephesians 3:14-21
INTRO: To overcome or rule and dominate over any issue or
situation there must be conflict or struggle and if anyone is determine to be a
winner or champion such person must acquire or seek for more power source to
achieve his/her aim. Some fools are using diabolic (satan) power which may work
for a while; but the wise will always seek for the Spirit of God.
In
vs. 14-16 of today's passage, Apostle Paul said for him to function after being
reformed he went on his knees to pray and ask for grace, power, riches of His
glory and to be strengthen with might by His spirit in the inner man. It is one
thing to pray for another believer; it's another to pray with confidence;
sometimes we lack confidence because we're not sure exactly what we should pray
on behalf of other people. But the Lord is using the scripture to put the
confidence in us through the Holy Spirit. (Col. 1:11, Acts 5:41-42).
However,
when we prayed God will give us knowledge of all wisdom and spiritual
understanding. “Wisdom” means comprehending spiritual truth. “Understanding”
refers to the ability to apply that insight (wisdom) to the problem of life.
Such wisdom and knowledge are the strength that comes from God and not any man.
(2 Peter 1:11, Eph. 5:20, 1:7). Every Christian or child of God needs strength
after reformation (born again); you must remain constant in Him and be active with
sound mind in the spirit. (1 Thess. 12:22)
When
the Spirit of the Lord comes upon you after being reformed (born again) and you
remain constant in Him doing His will (Titus 2:1-10), the strength of the Lord
will definitely work as a backup for you in all the life endeavours (Phil.
4:19, Eph. 1:3-7).
Finally
brethren, the power and wisdom of God is Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 1:24), seek and
understand Him alone and all strength shall be found in Him.
GOD BLESS YOU
