Jesus lived a phenomenal life; and when He ascended into
heaven, He sent His Spirit to dwell in us. The Holy Spirit enables us to do
greater works than Jesus did, because there are so many of us in His Body (John 14:12). We have
the same power and authority of Christ, because He dwells in us by His Spirit (Romans 8:11). Even
His Word brings life-changing power into our world.
We increase in love for one another and toward all people (1 Thessalonians 3:12).
In humility, we prefer one another and do not act from any selfish ambition (Philippians 2:3). Every
day, we share God’s love with everyone He brings into our life. We thank God
for one another, especially as we watch each other growing in our faith. Our
love for one another grows even more (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
He will increase the numbers in our church body, because
He loves and blesses those who serve Him (Deuteronomy 7:13). The glory of God’s
current house will be greater than the glory of His former house (Haggai 2:9). God
swears to uphold His promises to us by the greatness of His name (Hebrews 6:13, 16).
Our testimony is great, but the testimony of God is even greater (1 John 5:9).
The apostles knew that the only way their faith would grow
is if the Lord did it in them (Luke 17:5). God does this by supplying our needs, increasing
our storehouses and enlarging our harvest (2 Corinthians 9:10). He increases the fruit
on our trees and the crops in our fields. He protects us from the shame of
deprivation (Ezekiel
36:30). He multiplies our honor and gives us His comfort (Psalm 71:21).
Prayer:
Father God, You dwell within us and help us to overcome
Satan, the flesh and the world (1 John 4:4). You give us a ministry to perform for Your glory
and You empower us to accomplish everything, which You call us to do (Philippians 2:12-13).
We dedicate to You every breath we breathe and every moment of our day. Lead us
by Your Spirit and always keep us in the center of Your will.
Thought for the Day:
The least person in this world will be the greatest of all
in God’s Kingdom. - Luke 7:28
