“Immeasurably More”
Categories: Minister's CornerImmeasurably more. Those two words are packed with incredible POWER and POTENTIAL. Notice how the apostle Paul
describes the POWER and POTENTIAL of our God to do Immeasurably More. He said God “...is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20).
First, understand that God is able to DO whatever He wants. Do You remember in Matthew 3:9, when John the Immerser said to the Pharisees, “that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones? This is not just a cute saying but rather a massive truth about the POWER of God who actually created a beautiful world and even life itself. Certainly our creator has enough power to transcend a human mind that He created. This amazing God has the POWER to destroy both body and soul because He is able to not only give life but also take it away (Matthew 10:28). This amazing Creator is able to protect and keep that which belongs to Him (John 10:29). Our Magnificent God is also able to provide for us a glorious inheritance (Acts 20:32). God is able to sufficiently give us the grace needed and supply us with the ability to do the work He has in store for us in Fulshear (1 Corinthians 9:8). Thank God that He more importantly able to SAVE our souls (James 1:21).
Second, consider that God has the POWER to go above and beyond. Paul uses words like EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, or Immeasurably MORE which promote the idea that God is not bound by natural parameters or boundaries. We would say that God is LIMITLESS in what He can do! Would there be a point during the creation of the world where you would say, “God, have you thought this through because you can’t do this or that idea or thing is above your measure of doing? NO!! Because God can by His POWER do more!!
Finally, notice that Paul tells the church in Ephesus that God is actually working in and through them to accomplish His will. What were the Christians at Ephesus capable of doing? Immeasurably More! Why? Because God was working in them and there are no limitations with God and there is no need to limit a LIMITLESS GOD. The effects of their works touch our lives even today in 2019 in the great state of Texas!! How amazing is that? They never dreamed in their wildest imaginations of a place called Fulshear, Texas and that their work would touch us.
What is the takeaway for us? God is able to do Immeasurably More (an amount not measured by human standards) to work in us (beyond our human limitations) an amazing work that will cause the city of Fulshear to stop, take notice, and glorify our Great God. Don’t limit God’s ability to go beyond our wildest dreams. Dream BIG for God to shake this place and turn it upside down. Let’s get to work doing this amazing thing for Him because He has already placed the POTENTIAL in every one of us to do IMMEASURABLY MORE!
