Living Life FULLY in The Power of God (Ecc. 9:7-11)
Episode Title:
Living Life to the Fullest in the Power of God
Scripture Focus: Ecclesiastes 9:7–11
Air Date: July 7, 2025
Host: The Great Matt Gibe
In today’s summer episode, Matt Geib returns to Chapter 13 of his devotional book, Searching for Significance: A Devotional Journey Through Ecclesiastes, unpacking a beloved passage that invites believers to live life to the fullest in the power of God.
Ecclesiastes 9:7–11 may be nestled in Solomon’s reflections, but it carries echoes of the New Covenant—hidden treasures for those hungry for deeper truth. Through careful study and his own MPG (Matthew Paul Geib) translation, Matt shows how the Preacher’s wisdom points beyond temporary pursuits toward the joyful, Spirit-filled life made possible through Christ.
- Ecclesiastes 9:7–11 – Enjoy life, live joyfully, labor with all your might.
- Matthew 27:50–51 – The veil torn, ushering in the New Covenant.
- Mark 10:45 / Ephesians 1:7 – Jesus as ransom; redemption through His blood.
- Ephesians 5:18 / Galatians 5:16 – Be filled with the Spirit; walk by the Spirit.
- 1 Timothy 6:6–10 – Godliness with contentment; the love of money’s danger.
- Philippians 4:11–13 – Paul’s contentment in both abundance and lack.
- 2 Corinthians 11:22–28 – Paul’s sufferings for the sake of the Gospel.
- 3 John 2 – "I pray that you may prosper… as your soul prospers."
- Live with Purpose & Passion:
- Solomon exhorts us to live freely and joyfully, knowing God has already approved our works. There is no greater time to live intentionally and walk in the Spirit.
- New Testament Truths Hidden in Old Testament Writings:
- Matt highlights how Solomon’s words prophetically foreshadow Christ’s redemptive work. White garments, oil, joy, and fulfillment are not just metaphors—they point to the purity, anointing, and empowerment we receive in Jesus.
- The Paradox of Wealth and Contentment:
- God isn’t opposed to abundance—but focus matters. Riches, like those given to Solomon, Abraham, and Job, are blessings when stewarded rightly. But as Matt warns, misplaced focus can lead to spiritual drift.
- Paul’s Example of a Life Well-Lived:
- Through hardship and provision, Paul modeled what it means to walk in both abasing and abounding—keeping eyes fixed on eternity, not temporal gain.
- Walking in the Spirit:
- The true secret to living life to the fullest is not possessions or position—it is daily communion with the Father and walking in His Spirit.
“Go thy way, living your life freely. Eat your bread and drink your wine with a joyful and celebratory heart, as the Father has already paid your debt in full… Continue daily to walk in the fullness of My Spirit…”
When you are a born-again, Spirit-filled follower of Christ, you are free to enjoy life’s blessings while remaining rooted in what truly matters—your identity in Him, your calling, and your eternal reward.
- Thanksgiving for relationship with the Father
- Acknowledgement of grace through Christ
- Encouragement to walk in purity, power, and purpose
