No Greater Purpose

 “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.”

Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT)

 

Go ahead and read the two verses above again please.

Did you find the hidden treasure?

There are three truths about God’s power declared in those verses.

They are three truths you need in your life.

The first truth about God’s power is that you need understanding:

“…that you will understand…”

The second truth about God’s power is that God has the greatest power:

“…incredible greatness of God’s power…”

The third truth about God’s power is that God wants to help you:

“…for us who believe Him…”

As incredible as those truths are I admit to sometimes having trouble getting my mind around them.

The same God who created and then set the planets in their orbit makes His incredible power available to you and me.

That power is evidenced through a healing touch, through a miraculous rescue or perhaps a Word of Wisdom or Knowledge to one in need.

But there is no greater evidence of the power of God than a heart that surrenders to Jesus.

There is no greater purpose than that.

Remember what Jesus said because it puts the purpose of Gods’ power in perspective for us:

“The seventy-two returned with joy and said,

“Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

“He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and

to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you,

but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Luke 10:17-20

 

Rejoice today for that your name is written in heaven!

Ask Him to use you as instrument through which other names may be added!
