KEEP RECEIVING CHRIST’S STRENGTH AND FULLNESS

Philippians 4:12-13 (TPT), 2Corinthians 12:9 (TPT) I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. *But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me.

Never accept weakness, inability or failure in any area of your life. Always ask yourself, “is Christ weak in this area?” If your answer is no, then tell yourself that you cannot be weak in that area because Christ lives in you and as He is so are you in this world. Allow the strength of Christ rise up inside you in that area of your life. In Christ, you have a glorious life and you have the above only life. God wants you to take hold of His strength, (Isa.27:5). He wants you to wake up and put on the strength that He has already given you, (Isa.52:1). Christ is your strength, so put on Christ.

If you ever feel weak in any area of your life, keep declaring that Christ is your strength and that He is strengthening you right now. In any area of your life that you are feeling insufficient, declare that Christ is your sufficiency and that He is abounding in you right now. If you are feeling empty, declare that you have Christ’s fullness and that He is making you full in that area right now. Do not declare what you feel or what you see with your natural eyes. Declare the glory of God. Declare what God says about you and what you see in God’s Word.

Our fellowship with God is the major channel through which Christ’s strength is stirred up in us and we exchange our weakness for His strength. God want us to continually come boldly to His throne of grace to obtain mercy and find His grace to help us in our time of need, (Heb.4:16). We also experience transformation. As we continue to focus on the glory of Christ, we are transformed from glory to glory into the image of Christ, (2Cor.3:18).

Action Point:
Pray in the Spirit right now and declare the glory, fullness, strength and abundance of Christ into every area of your life.
