“We are immeasurably empowered to be the means and embodiment of the fullness of Christ.” - @janicechinchern
In week 3 of our series Immeasurably More, Janice brought us a word based on Ephesians 1:15-23, where Paul prays for the Ephesian church to grow in wisdom and revelation of God, and for the following three points to be realities for them:
1. The hope of God’s calling - the knowledge that their hope in God is an eternal one, and it is a living, blessed and sure hope
2. The riches of God’s inheritance - the knowledge that they have received spiritual blessings which are not earned, but that they were given access to. They are God’s possession, and are thus of immense value.
3. The greatness of God's power toward them - the knowledge that they are immeasurably empowered to be the means and embodiment of the fullness of Christ.
It is our prayer that the eyes of our hearts will be enlightened to see Jesus for who He really is, so that we know God not just in our heads but in our hearts. As we pray to increase in the knowledge of God, may we live out our identity of being a people who are immeasurably empowered with the hope, riches and power we receive from Him.
