The Real Question

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..." ~ Ephesians 3:20

Often times we want God to bless us, but we haven't prepared for it. We are asking God when is He going to show up. But He's asking us, when are we going to show we're faithful enough to handle more.

The parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30) comes to mind. God gives more to those who are good stewards over that which He's already given.

So the question is not when is God going to give me more. The question is, when are we going to manage what He's already given.

God bless,

Are We Ready?

 

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." ~ Ephesians 3:20-21

He is ABLE to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think.

But the real question is, are we READY?

More to come tomorrow! 

God bless,

Train Up A Child (Part 8)

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." ~ 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Ultimately, God is not training us just to train us. He trains us to get results (1 Corinthians 9:24).

Just like a runner trains to win the grand prize, we ought to train ourselves in such a way as to win our prize (Philippians 3:14).

What is that prize? Very simply, it's the John 10:10 life. It's the Ephesians 3:20 experience. The Luke 6:38 principle.

God wants to give us His very best. But in order to get His best, we have to give ours (Mark 8:34-36).

What are you giving Him today?

God bless,
J.W.

Expect The Unexpected

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." ~ Ephesians 3:20-21

As Christians, we serve a God who is bigger than any challenge we might face.

The Bible says he is able to go "exceedingly abundantly" beyond what we could ask or think. He holds all power in His hands.

So, why do we doubt ourselves? More importantly, why do we doubt God?

Expect the unexpected from Him today!

God bless,
J.W.
