God's Love Makes You Strong

Ephesians 3:19
...
19to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

If you were to thank God for something today, what would it be? For me, it’s thanking God for giving us Jesus. For when I see Jesus on the cross, I see the love of God overcoming everything for me. It causes me to say, “Thank you, Jesus! I love you, Jesus! I worship you, Jesus! Bless you, Jesus! Hallelujah!”

And as we worship and celebrate the love of Jesus in our lives, we will find ourselves changed and we will see the mighty power of God displayed for us and through us.

This was the case in the life of David. His personal times of worship, of being absorbed in God’s love for him, changed him from mere shepherd boy to lion killer, bear killer, giant killer and finally, king over Israel.

Now, no one on earth, no matter how strong he is, can come against a lion and prise open its mouth to snatch back his sheep which the lion had carried away, unless God’s anointing and protection is on him. And this was indeed what happened to David the shepherd boy who went after the lion, caught it by its beard, struck it and killed it, and thus delivered the lamb from its mouth. (1 Samuel 17:34–37)

My friend, no man can truly enjoy living in this world without God’s strength in his life, God’s favour in his work and relationships, God’s protection for him and his family, God’s increase for his finances, and God’s health and healing for his body. Likewise, no woman can survive emotionally, socially or physically without God’s tender touch, God’s loving presence, God’s sweet assurance, and God’s Word of life in times of need.

Beloved, as you feed on Jesus’ love for you, you’ll be filled with the fullness of God. Like David, God’s anointing will begin to operate powerfully in your life. And when spiritual lions come into your life, even the devil himself — when he comes like a roaring lion against you or your loved ones or your possessions — you’ll grab hold of his mouth and you’ll tear him apart!
