“…...that YOU may be filled with ALL the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:19.
To be filled with Gods’ fullness we need to be strengthened with Christ's
ability in our hearts – by knowing He dwells in us by His Spirit, and by
knowing His Love is in us Through His Spirit. (v16-19)
Living life from this perspective will release the fullness of God through
us.
Mark 6:30-42 records the parable of the feeding of the 5000. This is a good
example of viewing life from the perspective of Gods Fullness. In v35-36,
we see mans viewpoint on life – problem centred - “a deserted place” - “the
hour is late” - “send them away” - “Buy for themselves”…Sound familiar?
Life's circumstances are often viewed by what we lack and not from what we
have in Christ…...His Promises.
V41 Jesus “Took the loaves and fishes” - He looked to Heaven, He blessed
them, He divided among them ALL. Result:- They ALL ate,--- they were ALL
filled! Don’t live your life from a glass ½ empty perspective, ie a
self-centred life but get filled with a God centred lifestyle and you will
have 12 baskets full of leftovers – more than enough for any situation.
“Never doubt Gods’ mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He
will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most
unbelievable dream and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them
all, for His miraculous power constantly energises you.”
Ephesians 3:20 (The Passion Translation)
Have a Blessed week living from Gods’ Fullness.
