TOPIC: Its’ All In You (TREM Devotional 16 May 2021)
‘’That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.’’ EPHESIANS 1:17-19 KJV
As a result of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, many believers still see themselves as ordinary in spite of the enormous deposits of God in their lives. Many have been reduced to a second-class life because they do not have a clear understanding of the finished work of Christ and the benefits that accrued thereof. When Jesus died, He paid in full. In other words, His death did not only deliver to you the gift of salvation, but every other thing you would ever need.
That was why Apostle Paul writing to the Ephesians, prayed that the eyes of their understanding be enlightened that they may know what is the hope of his calling, the riches of His inheritance and the exceeding greatness of His power to those who believe. What he actually meant was that you cannot access what you don’t know.
Everything you would ever need to be all that God has ordained for you is already provided for in Christ. You were made in the image and likeness of God. By the new birth, you became a brand new creature- one who has never existed before. Consequently, you need to see yourself in your inner man, not in the flesh. You need to see yourself as God sees you- a victor and not a victim, an overcomer and not a failure, the head and not the tail.
Your part is to recognize what God has put into you and appreciate it. Stop seeing your human weaknesses but see yourself attaining great heights through Christ. In Christ, you are ushered into a life of endless possibilities.
