For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he
would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with
might by his Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:14-16
In our theme
Scripture, the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, prayed for the Christians in
Ephesus to be strengthened with might in their inner man. If Paul prayed thus
for them, it must mean that he knew what it meant to be strengthened and must have
been strengthened himself.
Therefore, he
wasn’t trying to get God to fulfil a promise or do something that we don’t
already have as Christians. Why then did Paul pray for the saints in Ephesus
that way? It was because the people hadn’t come to the full knowledge of the
divine might at work in them by reason of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
It was more of
getting them to be conscious of the divine energy, the supernatural might of
the Spirit inherent in them. This “strengthening” wasn’t coming from Heaven;
it’s by the Spirit of God that’s already inside them. He wanted them to
understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit inside them and walk in His might.
There’s a
Spirit inside you that invigorates you. That Spirit gives you supernatural
power, the ability to perform. Hallelujah! This is why you must never confess
or accept that you’re weak. There’s no weakness in your life, for the Holy
Spirit, the embodiment of all glory, dominion and strength, lives in you in His
fullness.
No part of your
body is available for sickness, disease, infirmity, or to the devil. The Holy
Spirit in you keeps your spirit, soul and body invigorated and ever alive.
Romans 8:11 declares, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the
dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” This is no longer a
promise but a present-hour reality. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
Every fibre of
my being is energised and infused with miracle-working ability. I’m
strengthened and invigorated by the Holy Spirit in my inner man, thereby
competent for any task. I’m conscious of, and function with His divine power
that works in me mightily. Hallelujah!
