Today I want to share from Joseph Prince's devotional.
God's Love Makes You Strong
|
Ephesians 3:19 …know the love of Christ which
passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
|
If you were to thank God for something today, what would it be?
For me, it would be thanking God for giving me Jesus. For when I see Jesus on
the cross, I see the love of God overcoming everything for me. It causes me to
say, “Thank you, Jesus! I love you, Jesus! I worship you, Jesus! Bless you,
Jesus! Hallelujah!”
And as we worship and celebrate the love of Jesus in our lives,
we will find ourselves changed, and we will see the mighty power of God
displayed for us and through us. This was the case in the life of David. His personal times of
worship, of being absorbed in God’s love for him, changed him from a mere
shepherd boy to a lion killer, bear killer, giant killer and finally, a king
over Israel.
Now, no one on earth, no matter how strong he is, let alone a
youth, can come against a lion and prize open its mouth to snatch back his
sheep which the lion had carried away, unless God’s anointing is on him. And
this was indeed what happened to David the shepherd boy who went after the
lion, caught it by its beard, struck and killed it, and thus delivered the lamb
from its jaws. (1 Samuel 17:34–37)
My friend, no man can truly enjoy living in this world without
God’s strength in his life, God’s favor in his work and relationships, God’s
protection for him and his family, God’s increase in his finances, and God’s
health and healing for his body. Likewise, no woman can survive emotionally,
socially or physically without God’s tender touch, loving presence, sweet
assurance and words of life in times of need.
Beloved, as you feed on Jesus’ love for you, you will be filled
with the fullness of God. Like David, God’s anointing will begin to operate
powerfully in your life. And when you encounter spiritual lions, even the devil
himself—when he comes like a roaring lion against you, your loved ones or your
possessions—you will grab hold of his mouth and tear him apart!
Thought For The Day: Feed on Jesus’ love for you, and be filled with the
fullness and power of God to tear your spiritual lions apart!
AMEN! Every born again believer has the potential to do great things for the Kingdom of God because it is GOD Who does the work! WE speak the WORD and HE confirms it with signs, wonders and miracles! Mark 16:20:
And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).
As you continue to obey the Word of God and the leading of Holy Spirit in your life and ministry, remember THIS promise in Philippians 4:13:
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]. AMPC
AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "You Are My Strength":
Shalom in Him!
